Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

"The Fire Leaf Territory is close to the sea. As a coastal city, Fire Leaf City must have a lot of wealth. As long as we fight quickly, the loss of wealth will be very small."

"That's right. We need to take down Huoye City quickly. We can't let these thieves take our money away." Weilin said excitedly after hearing this.

Dredd took a deep look at Verin, and he seemed to see the money-grubbing side of the fifth young master.

He also heard the Lord mention Weilin's deeds of making more than 100 million gold coins.

Weilin didn't know what his general was thinking, but he enjoyed the process of robbing.

It can only be said that who doesn’t like to make a fortune.

Two days later, the army set out again. The 5,000 troops of the third battalion advanced at full speed and headed straight for Huoye City. Born Willich's five thousand troops slowed down and advanced along the road. While training the two thousand newly joined troops, they also collected horses, cattle, or unique local livestock along the way to provide enough livestock power for transporting supplies. .

The straight-line distance between Huoyu Town and Huoye City is 150 kilometers, and the actual distance is more than 200 kilometers.

For this distance, the Third Battalion marched directly, spending eight hours and traveling 200 kilometers. They rested 20 kilometers outside Huoye City to recharge their batteries and regain their strength.

The damaged roads along the way are not worth mentioning to them.

At this moment, the Fire Leaf City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit, and the hall was full of people, with lingering sadness in everyone's eyes.

"Two adults, within five days, all the young men in one city and six towns including Huoye City, Mushi Town, and Sanye Town have been recruited. The number of defenders has expanded to 50,000, including 35,000 in Huoye City. Fifteen thousand at Hennes Castle." A middle-aged general stood up and reported to Icaron and the white-haired old man on the first seat.

"Sir, I just received news that Huoyu Town was occupied two days ago, and the mayor of Huoyu Town surrendered without a fight." After the middle-aged general finished his report, another person stood up and reported.

Hearing the news, Icaron didn't show any exaggeration. Even if the enemy troops appeared outside the city now, he would not...

"Sir, there are enemy troops 20 kilometers away, numbering about five thousand." A messenger ran into the city lord's palace, entered the hall, knelt on the ground, and reported to everyone.

"This, it's impossible, why is it so fast?"

Icaron panicked instantly. Could it be that the destruction of roads these days has no effect at all? Could it be that these people don't need military rations?

Even if you carry military rations with you, don't you need siege equipment?

Countless thoughts popped into his head, disturbing his mind.

"Notify, close the city gate, seal it with earth and stones, and at the same time, let the troops go up the city wall to prevent enemy sneak attacks at any time." The white-haired old man gave the order very calmly.

As military generals left one after another, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

"Icaron, leave Fireleaf City to me. You can go back and garrison Henns Castle. That is our foundation. We cannot make any mistakes."

"Yes, Third Grandpa."

Icaron took a deep breath, stood up and bowed to salute, then left the city lord's palace, led the Fire Leaf Guards, and rushed back to Henns Castle overnight.

Gradually, there were not many people left in the hall, and the white-haired old man waved his hand to let the remaining people go out.

As a Golden Knight who has lived for two hundred and fifty years, he still has more than thirty years left in his life.

Looking back on his life, he has participated in many wars, but most of them were assisting the armies of the Kingdom of Ilia and the Kingdom of Bahio in attacking the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom.

"Bless the goddess of life. Don't have soul-level experts on the other side, otherwise Huoye City won't be able to defend it for even a day."

Most people in the southern part of the Principality of Braham believe in the Goddess of Life, but the Kingdom of Ilia is also a country that believes in the Goddess of Life, and the Church of Life remains silent about the conflict in this war.

If the enemy believes in the God of War, they will ask priests to help defend the city on a voluntary basis.

But for the enemy, who was the expeditionary force of the Kingdom of Ilia, they closed the church directly, only accepted the refugees who could not survive, and refused visits from other nobles.

At dawn the next day, the mage tower located in the center of Huoye City was activated, and a magical sky covered the city.

The white-haired old man put on his armor and looked at the magic defense sky that appeared, feeling much relieved.

Powered by the medium-sized element pool under the mage tower, it can block most long-range attacks, suppress the strength of the enemy's strong men, and reduce the destructive power of their combat skills.

But every half hour, an intermediate magic crystal had to be used up to act as an energy inducer, which made him feel a little distressed.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the entire army set off and slowly approached Huoye City.

On top of the red phosphorus horse, Weilin looked at the light blue magic defense canopy in the distance and said, "Huoye City is really rich and can afford even the magic defense canopy."

"The color is dim. It must be powered by a medium-sized elemental pool and uses intermediate magic crystals as energy inducers. After all, it can only withstand the onslaught of high-level gold professionals." Dredd could tell it by just the color of the magic defense sky. The power.

"General Dredd, what would happen if high-grade magic crystals were used as energy inducers?" Verin pondered for a while, then turned around and asked.

"If the medium-sized elemental pool is equipped with high-level magic crystals as an energy inducer, my subordinates can't do anything. They can only let the army climb the city wall to attack and forcibly break the city." Dred lowered his head slightly and replied to Verin.

"I see."

Knowing the reason, Weilin also knew why high-grade magic crystals are so precious and are the hard currency of various countries.

In the past, it was only known that high-grade magic crystals were expensive and had many unimaginable uses.

Through Dredd's explanation, at least I know something.

On the way forward, Dredd explained to Verin the uses of some advanced magic crystals on the battlefield, which opened his eyes to the fact that these things cannot be learned from books.

The three golden swordsmen walked in front of the queue. With their keen observation, they eliminated the traps deployed by Huoye City without having even the slightest effect.

At noon, six kilometers away from Huoye City, the army stopped to rest and eat.

A team of six golden warriors began to clear the traps outside Huoye City and remove obstacles on the way forward.

The white-haired old man stood on the city wall, watching the trap he deployed being destroyed, clenching his fists and feeling powerless in his heart.

"It's difficult! It's difficult!"

He was the only one in charge, and could only watch helplessly as the other party cleared the trap.

Seeing this, the white-haired old man has come to the conclusion that he will definitely lose.

"Just hold on for as many days as you can. It's considered your best."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the troops gathered, formed six square formations, and advanced.

In the middle of the army, Verin looked at General Dredd expectantly.
