Chapter 94: Preparation [Ilay]
In order to better observe the situation on the side of Marquis Lelan, Ailey chose to climb the walls of Baiyan City.
The guards on the city wall turned a blind eye to Ailey who climbed the city wall - in Baiyan City, the people could visit the city wall at will.
Earl David believed that the city wall was not just a defensive tool; on weekdays, people climbed the city wall and looked into the distance, which was also a pleasant relaxation activity; as long as it did not hinder the normal patrol of the guards, no one would care about them.
At this time, in addition to Ailey, there were some residents of Baiyan City watching the fun on the city wall. They were scattered on the city wall, looking at the team with the boiling flames.
An army of two thousand people!
Although these people are not enough to conquer Baiyan City, it is rare for ordinary people who have lived here all their lives. Although there are certain standing troops in Baiyan City, they have never been so neatly arranged together.
Previously, Count David had ordered the soldiers to do a good job of comforting the people - telling them that there were two thousand defenders in Baiyan City, and under the protection of the city wall, it was impossible for the enemy to break through here.
As for whether doing so will make other noble spies more easily obtain information about city defense? Earl David doesn't care about this, and the most important thing is that the people can settle down.
In fact, the original Baiyan City had nearly 3,000 permanent troops; but during the previous attacks by the Corey tribe, a large number of well-trained soldiers were killed in their sleep. Even though Earl David recruited some soldiers, it can only barely reach 2,000 now.
Logically speaking, there is no problem for these two thousand people to defend Baiyan City.
Aire on the wall began to look at the team of Marquis Lelan, who was gathered near the village of Baiyan.
The other three sides of Baiyan City are forests, and there is only a main road on the south side. The transportation is well developed. Many commercial activities including the sale of Baiyan are transported on this main road. Therefore, Baiyan South Village is also the most prosperous among the four villages.
Outside Baiyan South Village is the main road; on the other side of the main road is a relatively sparse open space, where two thousand people have set up simple tents;
At this time, it was lunch time, and wisps of smoke rose from the earthen stove built by the soldiers.
Is this the army? Is this a little bit? Irei knows little about this. Klay has not told me much about it. After all, Klay prefers to wander around the world rather than beg for food under a certain lord.
Although there are quite a few of these people, even the outsider, Aile, can see that it is absolutely not enough to conquer Baiyan City.
There were rolling wood and stones on the walls. Even a half-aged child could push them off the walls and kill several soldiers;
If the enemy wants to attack hard, they will definitely pay a very heavy price.
But, in addition to strong attacks, what other methods will they use?
Alay looked at the tents of Marquis Lelan.
As soon as they arrived at Baiyan City, they put up the camp tent; what does this mean? Do you have to rest under Baiyan City until tomorrow morning before leaving?
Marquis Lelan should have thought he had brought too much food to keep so many people in the wild for so long.
Continue to look at it: there is no doubt that the largest and most luxurious tent is the tent of Marquis Lelan; nearby there is a tent that is larger than the size of the soldiers and looks more advanced in fabric - it seems to accommodate several people.
The Marquis Lelan's tent was constantly in and out, and it seemed to be a soldier reporting the situation;
Next to the ordinary tent are soldiers who either rest or cook, which also looks quite lively.
In contrast, this high-end tent is much more deserted.
Who is inside this tent? Ailey was a little curious.
It's time to eat...there aren't people here?
When Ailei saw a soldier delivering food to the tent, it seemed that the people inside should have a certain status - at least they shouldn't do it themselves. Well, you can see it from the tent, right? Ailei was complaining about himself in his heart.
After a while, someone walked out of the tent alone.
The man was stronger than the soldiers around him, wearing exquisite armor that only nobles could have. Although Ailey couldn't see his face clearly, his figure was inexplicably familiar...
...Isn't this the nobleman who bought armor from him before? Aly slapped his thigh, how could he be here!?
Why did the nobles of Baiyan City appear in the army of Marquis Lelan?
Just when Aly was confused, another person with a similar figure came out of the tent, and pulled the son of the noble who had walked out first.
It's weird, it's so weird; why is this happening, I can't figure it out.
Judging from the actions of the two, they must have met each other and had a good relationship - otherwise it would be not easy to drag such a strong man into the tent.
The more I think about it, the more confused I am...
Forget it, the information you can get is almost complete; the next step is to quickly discuss it with Miss Jingshen. As I thought so, I got off the city wall and returned to the hotel.
According to the information in the dream, Miss Guan was safe on the night when Baiyan City was captured, which means she didn't have to worry about being trapped in Baiyan Fort and unable to get out.
She went to Baiyan Castle to fulfill her responsibilities and obligations... Of course, whether she listened or not was entirely up to Count David.
Of course, Ailei couldn't enter Baiyan Castle; he could only wait for Miss Jingshen to come out by himself.
Back at the hotel, Aly didn't wait long before he heard the knock on the door.
"Aire, it's me." The unique and unpleasant voice that was both hoarse and harsh must be Miss Guanyin.
"How is the situation? Is Count David alert?" Alay hurriedly walked over and opened the door and said, "He certainly doesn't believe it, right?"
"It was beyond my expectations that he was so naive." Miss Guan's expression was quite bad. "It was a miracle that he could stay in the Earl's position for so long."
"Don't take your opinions seriously at all?"
“Yes, that’s it.”
"Since that's the case, I'll think about how to take shelter." Alay sighed, "Do you want to escape outside the city?"
"...You go, I can't get out." Miss Jingshen shook her head, "The Count must have discovered that I have left Baiyan Castle, and maybe I will send a message to the guards of the city gate."
"Will you catch you back?"
"With Count David's mind, it is not ruled out that I would put me under house arrest in White Rock Fort." Miss Guan said seriously, "He did not know that I lived in this hotel...it was safe to hide here for the time being."
"There is no reason to leave your companions behind, I will stay in the city to accompany you."
"In your dream, Marquis Lelan did not slaughter in the city, right?"
"Yes."
"He really doesn't have this need. After nightfall, leave the hotel and choose a more hidden place in the city to hide it."
"good……!"
In such a chaotic situation, is it necessary to be safe outside the city?
At least in the dream, there is no problem in the city!
Now is not the time to worry about the so-called fate! Save your life first!
