Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning
Chapter 676 Panic in Libek City
Libek City. After the fall of the Thirteen Passes on the Ancient Gorge Mountain Road, a large number of nobles and merchants began to head eastward.
In the city lord's mansion, the city lord Harvey Goffrey had a gloomy expression. He summoned the generals defending the city eight times within five days to discuss defense strategies.
In less than two months, all the ancient roads in the gorge were lost. Given the terrain of Libek City, it was easy to attack but difficult to defend, so he had to make plans early.
"Master, something terrible is happening."
A butler broke into the study and, without bothering to be polite, delivered the letter to Harvey.
Harvey took the letter, opened it and read it, his face changed drastically.
Youhu Pass is more than 200 kilometers away from Libek City. It has 41 territories of various sizes and a population of nearly 3 million. It all fell in less than three days.
"Go and call General Perry."
"Yes, Master."
In less than a moment, a bald strong man entered the study, beat his chest and saluted, and said, "Lord City Lord, what can I do for you?"
"General Fei Rui, within three days, the enemy will be at the gates of the city. Do you have any way to deal with it?"
Fei Rui looked up at Harvey and answered, "Lord City Lord, there are only 30,000 defenders in Libek City, and less than 10,000 soldiers can fight. Previously, General Warren, the commander of the Gorge Mountain Ancient Road, asked for nearly 100,000 young and strong men, and there are less than 60,000 young and strong men in the city that can be used to defend the city."
"In this way, there are less than 100,000 defenders left in the city of Libek." Harvey couldn't help but stand up with a look of horror on his face.
Fei Rui felt helpless about this idiot boss, but he still remained respectful, nodded and said yes.
"I regret it so much. If I had known that Warren was unreliable, I should have been tougher. Now the defense of Libek City is empty. It's all my fault!"
Seeing this, Fei Rui comforted him, "Lord City Lord, no one can imagine that the alien god's army is so brave. It's not your fault. Please rest assured and think about the strategy of defending the city."
"Yes, you are right. Send someone to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess for help, and send someone else to mobilize the nobles in the rear. Once Libek City falls, they will not have an easy life."
Seeing this, Fei Rui lowered his head, accepted the order, beat his chest and saluted, then left the study.
In the afternoon, hundreds of cavalrymen left the city of Libek and headed in small teams to various baronies and viscounties to mobilize the nobles to join the war and spread the word that once the enemy army broke through the city of Libek, they would massacre the entire Libek province for three months.
The province of Libek has four counties under its jurisdiction. Earls from all over the country have already responded to the call of the kingdom and headed for Solomon City with their families. Now, only some weak barons and viscounts are left in the entire province. After receiving the conscription order from the city of Libek, for the sake of their lives and power, they began to collect ironware in the territory, recruit young and strong people, and prepare to go to support the city of Libek.
Three days later, Devonshire led 500 knights of the Crescent Knights and 3,500 knights of the two Crusaders Temple Knights and arrived at the suburbs of Libek City.
Riding on a red phosphorus horse, Devonshire, escorted by several knights, arrived at a low hill three kilometers away from the city of Libek, from where he looked into the distance and observed the city defenses.
"Sir, there are people in the distance, suspected to be enemy spies." On the wall of Libek City, an Indian soldier pointed to the distance and reported loudly.
The officer guarding the west wall was a Five-Indian warrior with excellent eyesight. He looked in the direction pointed by his subordinates and found that there were more than a dozen enemy knights spying on the defenses of Libek City.
"Suya."
Upon hearing this, a knight with three seals quickly came to the officer on duty, bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "Sir, please give me your orders."
"Lead your troops to that hill and eliminate the enemy scouts. Capture them alive if possible."
"Yes, my lord."
The Knight of Three Seals beat his chest and saluted, with excitement on his face, he quickly walked down the city wall, gathered more than a hundred knights under his command, left the city of Libek from the west gate, and headed towards the distant hills.
One hundred and thirteen knights faced more than ten enemy scouts, and the advantage was on his side.
"Captain, some enemy soldiers have left the city and are heading towards us." A low-level silver knight looked into the distance, then turned to report to Devonshire who was drawing a map.
Hearing his subordinates' words, Devonshire kept moving his hands, drawing a picture while asking, "Are you sure you can defeat the opponent?"
"Captain, there are only a hundred or so native knights. We can wipe them out in less than half an hour." Upon hearing this, the low-level silver knight knew that the opportunity to show off had come, and he answered loudly without any hesitation.
"Then I'll leave it to you. If you defeat them in half an hour, I'll give you credit for your achievement."
"Thank you, Captain."
After beating his chest and saluting, the low-level silver knight pulled down his armor, patted the red phosphorus horse under his crotch, exerted force with his right hand, took out his lance, and led his ten knights to form a battle line.
One low-level silver knight, three high-level bronze knights, four mid-level bronze knights and three low-level bronze knights are the personnel configuration of the third squad of the first squadron of the Star-Moon Knights.
"Today, the glory belongs to us."
The eleven knights formed a cone formation and rushed towards the enemy.
In less than a moment, the two armies collided, and the knight squad broke through the opponent's formation with its equipment advantage and powerful strength.
Tearing off the pieces of flesh hanging on the armor, the low-level silver knight adjusted his team and launched another charge while the enemy's formation was not stable.
On the city wall, the officer on duty opened his eyes wide and his mouth open, unable to believe what he saw.
"The enemy is going to massacre the city, so we need to get our family out as soon as possible."
At this moment, what he was thinking about was not anger and humiliation, but how to protect his family.
When he heard the news that the Thirteen Passes on the Ancient Xiashan Road fell in less than two months, he scoffed at it and expressed disdain for the troops guarding the passes.
However, when he witnessed with his own eyes that the enemy broke through the defense line of a hundred soldiers with only eleven cavalrymen, his thoughts began to change dramatically.
In less than half an hour, the more than a hundred knights who were so high-spirited when they set out on the expedition were reduced to only about forty disheveled figures.
On the city wall, fear surged in the hearts of both noble sons and ordinary soldiers, and they no longer had the intention of defending Libek City to the death.
After taking down the heads of more than ten enemy soldiers, the low-ranking silver knight returned to Devonshire and saluted by beating his chest: "Captain, Carnegie reports to you that no one in our army was injured, and we killed fifty-three enemy knights. Thirteen heads can be used as proof of military merit."
Devonshire put away the map, looked at his subordinates in front of him, smiled, and said, "Not bad, but your basics are not solid. You need to practice more when you go back. After you capture Libek City, come to me after nine o'clock every night."
"Thank you, Captain." The low-level silver knight said loudly with excitement on his face.
"Okay, it's time to go back."
After saying this, Devonshire led his men to leave the place and return to the military camp six kilometers away to wait for the arrival of the army.
