"Yes, Your Highness!" Several iron guards quickly pursued Nalant.
Originally, the eldest prince was planning to ask the messenger to blow the horn in response, so that today's siege battle could begin.
But now seeing the appearance of those noble heirs, he could only grit his teeth and hold back the prepared response.
He hates Nalant now. If it weren't for this guy, his first command would have gone perfectly.
Afterwards, with all the petty vassals and noble heirs dumbfounded, Nalant rode his war horse and bolted towards Maple Leaf City, while more than a dozen King's Iron Guard cavalry behind him desperately pursued him.
As time passed, Nalant got closer and closer to Maple Leaf City.
Two thousand meters, one thousand five hundred meters... one thousand meters, five hundred meters...
"What...what does Sir Narante want to do? Does he want to die?"
"Wait a minute, have you noticed that Nalant seems to have approached the city wall more than 500 meters away!"
"Yes, why didn't the soldiers of the Northern Principality on the city wall attack him? Even the Iron Guards cavalry seemed to have some scruples and didn't dare to get close!"
"Is it because the number of people is too small and the Northern Principality is reluctant to waste the trebuchet's stone bullets?"
"Probably not! Could it be that what Sir Narante just said is true?"
When Nalant approached Maple Leaf City, which was more than 500 meters away, the jaws of all the little nobles and young heirs almost dropped.
A few days ago, this distance of five to six hundred meters was obviously the most feared position for everyone, because this was the area covered by the secret skills of the Northern Principality's small trebuchets.
But now the imagined intensive attack did not appear. On the contrary, Nalant was still approaching as if no one else was watching, as if the outside of Maple Leaf City had become his Nalant's back garden.
Compared with Nalant, the pursuing Iron Guards cavalry in the rear hesitated and slowed down their pursuit.
"Asshole!" The eldest prince gritted his teeth and cursed when he saw this scene, his face uncertain.
At this moment, he also vaguely felt something was wrong, why did the defenders of Maple Leaf City let Nalant approach the city wall without any hindrance.
You must know that not reacting at this time will obviously boost the morale of the Agate Principality.
If Earl Brock or the military commander in the city had any sense, they would definitely not let such a thing happen.
Even if the attack is ineffective, there must still be a violent response.
"Is the city really empty?"
The eldest prince had a bad feeling in his heart.
But at this moment, he had to admit that his judgment was wrong and that he was no better than a knight. That was something he couldn't accept.
Woohoo!
At this moment, the sound of the trumpet came to the ears of the eldest prince again.
This is another inquiry from the king who has not received a response from him.
Hearing this call, the eldest prince's expression became tangled. If he didn't get asked this time, then there would definitely be messengers coming to ask about the situation later.
"Is there really no one in the city?"
At this moment, Nalant had already galloped to the moat of the city wall.
As long as you continue forward for more than fifty meters, you can reach the foot of the city wall.
The eldest prince's heart was already cold when he saw this, and all luck was gone at this moment.
But before that, he had refuted Nalant's proposal in full view of everyone...
If this matter spreads, he may become a joke in the future.
He can even believe that in order to win the favor of the noble lady, some young heirs will publicize this matter in private, just to make the beauty laugh.
"No! I absolutely can't let this happen!" The eldest prince gritted his teeth.
"That's right! Since the city is empty, I will personally lead the team to attack the city wall later. My father and other nobles do not know about this. They must be cautious when attacking the city. As long as I am fast enough, Then climb up the side wall, then go around to the front and plant the flag of our Agate Principality above the city gate..."
Suddenly, the eldest prince had a flash of inspiration and thought of a wonderful countermeasure.
At this moment, everyone on the other two city walls didn't know about this, so there was still room for him to operate, and he could even overshadow his previous misjudgments and still show off his authority.
For example, as a temporary commander, he did not have to personally participate in the siege, but he was the first to scale the city wall, and then held the Agate Principality's flag and placed it above the main gate.
Then he faced the Agate Principality army, his father, and the earls alone.
In this way, he gained a lot of prestige, and the Agate Principality army was also not in any danger and just ran on the grass for a while.
In the future, if this matter spreads, his reputation as a great prince will definitely spread far and wide.
In an instant, the eldest prince felt that this was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone.
"Herald! Blow the horn and tell His Majesty the King that we are ready and can launch an attack at any time!" The eldest prince did not hesitate and gave the order directly to the herald.
"Your Highness...this..." The messenger was stunned. He had also heard Nalant's call before.
And Nalant is now enough to prove that Maple Leaf City has no enemies.
In this case, will there be an ambush there?
Sir Narante said just now...
"I asked you to deliver the order!" The eldest prince's eyes widened and he looked sharply at the hesitating soldier who was delivering the order.
Time waits for no one, he must complete this matter quickly, otherwise he will never have a chance again.
"Yes...yes, eldest prince!"
The messenger trembled, and immediately remembered his status, and immediately raised his horn.
Woohoo!
The next moment, the order that had been prepared on the side was passed on.
"Is this bastard an idiot?" Nalant, who thought his suspicion had been proven and was already enjoying himself, was suddenly startled.
Then he started yelling in the direction of the eldest prince.
At such a time, the eldest prince still insisted on having his own way.
If there was really an ambush in the city and waiting for a group of soldiers and minor nobles to climb up the city wall, the situation would really be irreversible.
After all, everyone feels that this spacious Earl's city is full of gold and silver treasures. Even if they have to be turned over, they can still secretly hide some valuables.
Under the temptation of such interests, once they are ambushed, the consequences will be disastrous.
"What should we do? Just watch them launch an attack?" Nalant had the urge to give up the fight at this moment. He actually wanted to see how the eldest prince died in the end.
If there was really danger in the city, the king would never spare him.
"Ding, as a minor noble of the Agate Principality, you are also on the wheel of the Agate Principality at this moment. There may be dangers in the city. As the first person to discover the problem, you should give a warning!"
"Ding, system side mission: prevent the Agate Principality army from climbing the city wall and avoid the traps that the Agate Principality may encounter!"
"Mission reward: You will win the 'realm-enhancing fruit' once in the next lucky draw!"
