At the same time, fifty miles north of Maple Leaf City, a team of thousands of people was moving forward.
Except for a small number of swordsmen and knights, most of the team were longbowmen.
Behind the team, there were carriages carrying catapults.
"Father, are you really going to leave Maple Leaf City to the rebels of the Agate Principality?" At the front of the team, Brock, the owner of Maple Leaf City, and his second son were riding on their war horses.
"Kaili, this is an order from the Marquis and His Majesty the King. We cannot give up! Only if we give up Maple Leaf City can the Agate Principality's army fall into a trap and become more aggressive because they know nothing!"
Earl Brock turned his head and looked back. Unfortunately, he could no longer see his Maple Leaf City and castle from here fifty miles away.
Earl Brock, who stared for a moment and found nothing, retracted his gaze and continued: "However, giving up is only temporary. I believe it won't be long before we can return to Maple Leaf City!"
"Father, after these rebels from the Agate Principality enter the city and suffer heavy casualties due to the arrangements we left behind, will they become angry and destroy our Maple Leaf City?" Kaili, the second son of the earl, continued to ask.
Hearing this, Earl Brock frowned and glanced dissatisfied at the second son who spoke unabashedly. After a moment, he said: "No, His Majesty the King and the Marquis have already made plans for this year. The King of the Agate Principality will definitely He will take the bait and want to occupy our earldom, so he will never destroy Maple Leaf City and the castle!"
"As long as this mission is completed, more than a hundred miles of land from the Agate Principality to our Northern Principality will belong to us. I believe it won't be long before we can become the third marquis family in the empire!"
After speaking, Earl Brock was tired of his endless chatter this time and ordered: "Stop talking, everyone speed up and move forward!"
…
"What? Maple Leaf City is empty? Sir Nalant, do you know the consequences of talking nonsense?" The eldest prince looked livid.
When the Knight of the Iron Guard brought Nalant to him and faced his questioning, the little knight actually told nonsense that Maple Leaf City was empty.
Byron felt that this little knight must be crazy. What was the figure standing on the wall?
"His Royal Highness, I am very confident. I have just discovered that there are fewer trebuchets on the city wall. In addition, the so-called Northern Principality guards on the city wall have no weapons in their hands!"
Although Nalant didn't want to pay attention to the eldest prince, as a person on the big ship of the Agate Principality, he still had to explain, because he felt that there must be a conspiracy.
"Pfft, Narant, if you're not crazy, then we are crazy for hearing such a ridiculous joke!" At this time, Tony, who had been following the eldest prince, also sneered.
There were three heirs of the earl in the field at this moment, and they were separated from Nalant on the left city wall.
As for Stella and several other Earl's descendants, they were assigned to the right side of the city wall.
And what a coincidence, the eldest prince and Tony, two aristocratic sons who had little dealing with Nalant, were both here.
"Sir Nalant, do you know that our Agate Principality has been trying to capture Maple Leaf City for many years, and we have never been able to do so!"
"Now you say that the Northern Principality has directly abandoned Maple Leaf City? Do you think we will believe it?" Tony's laughter had not yet died down, and the eldest prince also stared at Nalant and said, "Or Nalant, do you think they Are you planning to give Maple Leaf City to us?"
"I don't know about that." Facing the attitude of the eldest prince and Tony, Nalant wanted to ignore it.
But he had a vague premonition that if the enemy really abandoned the city, there must be some conspiracy waiting for everyone.
For the sake of those innocent soldiers, Nalant still patiently explained until now.
In addition, if it weren't for today's siege and he didn't bring Shirley with him, otherwise he would have just sent Xiao Huihui to investigate to find out the situation.
As long as he was 100% sure of his guess, he would rather directly disobey orders and go to the king to report, rather than stay here with the stupid eldest prince.
"You don't know? In other words, these are all nonsense, just your guesses!" The eldest prince snorted coldly.
Woohoo!
Just as the eldest prince finished speaking, the king's army on the front city wall in the distance heard the sound of horns.
Nalant had the memory of the original owner and knew the order clearly, because the aristocratic school also taught it.
And this horn is asking whether the teams on the side are ready. It is obvious that the siege battle is about to begin.
"Narant, my father attaches great importance to today's battle. I advise you to return to the team immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, the eldest prince looked at the messenger holding the horn beside him, preparing to send a response.
"Your Highness, there may be an ambush in the city!" Nalant wanted to punch the brainless prince to death, no matter what he said was true or false.
In fact, he only needed to tell the king and send a few people up to check it out.
This guy has no brains and doesn't listen to his own explanation at all.
If the army begins to charge and the soldiers rush to the city wall, it will be too late even if the problem is discovered.
Because all the soldiers and noble vassals were tempted by the huge wealth in Maple Leaf City.
Even if the king wants them to withdraw their troops, no one will listen.
Money attracts people's hearts, so don't underestimate everyone's greed when faced with temptation.
"His Royal Highness, I think Narant is talking nonsense, why not arrest him!" Tony finally caught the opportunity and was ready to add insult to injury to Narant!
"Get him!" The eldest prince was no longer annoyed. Hearing Tony's instigation, he immediately issued an order to the Iron Guards cavalry beside him.
Catching Nalant this time was a good opportunity to deal with him. After all, he was talking nonsense, and as the temporary commander, I was fully qualified to do so.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Several Iron Guard knights did not hesitate and immediately moved towards Nalant.
"You two idiots!" Nalant was furious and yelled at the two of them.
Immediately, before the iron guards could surround him, he ran for a distance towards the gap on the side. When he reached a guard holding a siege ladder, he grabbed the siege ladder, then turned around and headed towards Maple Leaf City ahead. .
While running, Nalant shouted to other minor nobles and young heirs: "Maple Leaf City is already empty. There may be an ambush from the Northern Principality. Please don't attack yet!"
Wow!
"Ah? What did Sir Nalant say? Maple Leaf City is empty? Is there an ambush?"
"It can not be?"
"Why don't we wait a moment? We almost couldn't come back last time in the valley!"
Following Nalant's shout, a group of minor nobles and young heirs immediately went into an uproar, and many young heirs felt guilty.
After all, the lessons learned in the valley were too profound for them.
"Asshole! Chase him quickly and bring him back to me!" The eldest prince immediately became furious and angrily ordered the Iron Guard, "If you don't obey, shoot without mercy!"
