Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

Outside a small town on the edge of the Fire Leaf Territory, eight thousand troops were slowly advancing in ten square formations.

On top of the low wall, hundreds of hunters armed with inferior bows and arrows, young men and soldiers with trembling legs, turned pale with fear as they looked at the approaching army.

Even the mayor of the town, looking at everything in front of him, had countless heroic words in his heart, but now he couldn't shout a word and watched blankly as the Southern Army continued to advance.

Huoyu Town has only 20,000 people under its control. After several rounds of escapes, only more than 15,000 people are left. They gather young men and women, adventurers recruited with money, plus local security forces, garrison troops and businessmen to protect them. , with only more than 6,000 people.

Four thousand of them were serfs and civilians who had just taken up arms. Only two thousand had combat experience, and only three hundred had participated in regular wars.

The mayor of Huoyu Town held on to the guardrail to prevent himself from falling due to fear.

"Mayor, how about we surrender?" A middle-aged man reported to the young man with a bitter look on his face.

"Captain Lake, is there really no hope?" The mayor of Huoyu Town looked pale, looked at the guard captain, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Mayor, there is no hope. With my strength, I am not as good as a squad leader. Resisting forcefully will only add military merit to the opponent."

He didn't want to surrender without a fight, and he also wanted to use his own power to reverse the situation on the battlefield.

With his strength as a silver mid-level warrior, he was a prominent figure in Huoyu Town, but among the elite armies of great powers, he was no different than cannon fodder.

It's not that he doesn't want to confront the opponent, it's just that he has to compromise because of the difference in strength.

The mayor of Huoyu Town looked at the troops who were less than a kilometer away from the low wall. After struggling in his heart, he ordered the captain of the security team: "Hang... hang up the white flag, surrender... surrender."

In the Chinese army formation of the third battalion, Weilin was about to order the entire army to attack, but he did not expect that the other side would simply hang up the white flag.

"General Dredd, do you think the other side is deceitful and has set up an ambush in the town to lure our army into underestimating the enemy?" Weilin turned to look at Dredd and asked him.

"We only need to ask Born Willich to send five hundred people to enter. If the other party deceives our army, there will be no need for this town to exist." Dredd's voice without any emotion made Willin feel fear.

On the other side, Born Willich received an order to let a silver mid-level warrior lead the army and lead 500 soldiers to enter the town to receive the surrendered Northern troops.

Since the city entrance was blocked by mounds of earth and it would take time to clean up, Huoyu Town could only lower the ladder to allow Born Willich's army to climb the city wall.

The whole process went very smoothly, and no one dared to resist, even those adventurers who came because of money.

The Huoyu garrison whose weapons were confiscated was driven to clear the mounds of soil, open the city gates, and let the large troops enter the city.

"My lord, I don't know which part you are in." The security captain looked at the officer of equal strength in front of him, handed over a bag of gold coins, and asked.

For the sake of money, the silver mid-level warrior who led the team, who was also from the Principality of Braham, relaxed a lot and asked his deputy to continue commanding the troops to take over the town's defense. Then he and the captain of the Fire Fish Town Security Team came to the side. Tell in a low voice.

"We all belong to the same country. Let me give you a piece of advice. The leader of the army this time is just as you guessed. He is a member of the Expeditionary Corps of the Kingdom of Ilia."

"According to the information revealed by my lord, this lord has a good background. He is the son of an earl, and his father serves in the Expeditionary Legion as its commander."

"These are what I know. As for your fate, it all depends on how you behave. I can only say this much."

The captain of the security team said gratefully: "Thank you very much."

"It's okay, we are not fighting head-on. Besides, we are all members of the Principality of Braham, and now we are all our own masters. We can't help ourselves." The officer put the money in his arms, stood up and said to the captain of the security team.

Half an hour later, the mounds at the city gate were cleared, and all the weapons of the garrison in the town were confiscated.

Weilin, who was far outside the city, received the news and ordered his troops to enter the city.

Having slept in the wilderness along the way, we have a place to stay tonight.

After entering the city, taking a short rest and getting detailed information from the mayor of Huoyu Town, Weilin summoned the military officers to hold a meeting here.

After receiving the news, Bone put down what he was doing, ran to the hall first, and sat in the last seat very consciously.

After everyone arrived, Verin indicated with his eyes that Dredd could start the meeting.

Seeing this, Dredd stood up, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "According to the information revealed by the mayor of Huoyu Town, Huoye City is actively preparing for war, recruiting young men, digging deep traps, searching for food, destroying roads, and burning fields. , It seems that they are going to fight our army to the death."

"But, I don't know where he got the courage to confront us."

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Bone, an outsider, agreed with General Dredd's words.

The earl of a principality has a weak army and a small land area. Even though he has a lot of wealth based on the geographical advantage of the coast, how can he resist the army from the Eagle.

Born Willich looked down at the expressions of the people around him. They were very indifferent and couldn't help but lower his head.

Perhaps this is the army of a big country. An army under a count has such momentum that they are far beyond their reach.

"Within five days, we will capture Huoye City and complete the tasks assigned to us by the headquarters."

"Yes."

Everyone replied in unison.

"Born Willich stays, and the others go down to rest."

After the others left, only Verin, Kyle, Dredd and Bone were left in the entire town hall.

"Lord Wellin, General Dredd, I don't know what your orders are." Born Willich took a few steps forward, saluted the two of them, and said respectfully.

Seeing this, Weilin said, "You select two thousand of the surrendered troops from Huoyu Town and add them to your command to supplement the strength of your department."

"I wonder what the Lord needs us to do." Born Willich never believed in unprovoked overtures, there must be a reason.

Dredd looked at the nobleman of the Principality of Braham in front of him, and couldn't help but give him a high look in his heart, and said: "In the next battle, you will need to escort our army's spoils, and you will be allowed to share 10% of the profits."

"Lord Willin, General Dredd, I will definitely restrain my subordinates. If there is any financial loss, I am willing to make up for it." Born Willich's face became excited and he said to the two of them.

"You only have one day, go down and prepare."

"Yes."

After Born Willich left, Verin looked at Dredd and asked, "General Dredd, how much wealth do you think we can gain this time?"
