Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

In Talsi, the capital of the Arab region, Tax learned of the enemy's movements. A gleam flashed in his eyes, but he finally decided to proceed as planned.

With more than 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, their chances of winning are slim against the elite troops left behind by the enemy.

Having reached this position, he has a very deep understanding of "not seeking merit, but avoiding mistakes".

After blocking the news, Tasker continued to mobilize supplies and armed forces from various regions in the Arab region, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

In the Haina region of the Kingdom of Arland, the 15th Army was unstoppable and captured three earldoms in succession, capturing more than 10,000 enemy troops. Except for ordinary soldiers, the rest of the captives were all given to Lavia's students for reform. If they did not give up their belief in the God of Giants within three days, they would be physically destroyed.

As he advanced deep into the enemy's territory alone, Weilin did not adopt an aggressive strategy, but chose to advance step by step. Wherever he arrived at a place, he would capture all the professionals there, and give preferential treatment to those who were willing to join the army, distributing money and property, and promising them titles, land, as well as cultivation techniques and magic potion resources.

For professionals who are unwilling to cooperate, the stronger ones will be executed in secret, and the weaker ones will be branded on their faces and thrown into dungeons to be used as mining slaves in the future.

The difference in quality is obvious, and most professionals choose to join the 15th Army and fight for their own interests.

The cannon fodder troops expanded like a snowball, forcing Weilin to set up a new army to accommodate the increasing number of soldiers from Arland.

After the Black Rock Army, Thousand Fort Army, Badako Army, Means Army and Alan Army, the Haina Army was officially established, with Carlisle, the former deputy general of the Black Rock Army, as the commander of the Haina Army.

……

In the governor's palace built of logs in Haina City, the capital of Haina Region, a sturdy middle-aged man with a gloomy face looked at the war reports on the table, not knowing where to recruit troops from.

"Governor, Bayan City has fallen and General Mien has died in battle." An officer entered the hall, knelt on one knee, and reported loudly.

"How far is the enemy's vanguard from Haina City?"

A young man stepped out of the queue and answered, "Governor, less than 200 kilometers."

"Two hundred kilometers." The Governor of the Haina Region closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself, making it impossible for everyone present to guess what he was thinking.

After a long time, the Governor of Haina Region opened his eyes and asked, "Any news about the reinforcements?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one stood up to answer.

Three waves of flying knights were sent out to ask for help, but there was no sign of reinforcements, and not even a reply. It seemed that the front line was already in danger.

"Governor, the messenger is back." A guard entered the hall and reported loudly.

"Bring him in."

"Yes."

A few minutes later, two guards supported the dying Four Seal Knight into the hall.

Looking at the barely breathing Knight of the Four Seals, a general took out a piece of preserved fruit containing magical power from his chest, fed it to the Knight, and used the seal to help him digest it.

After a while, the dying knight's breathing stabilized and his injuries were stabilized.

After waking up, the Knight of the Four Seals saluted the general first, and then began to report the situation to the Governor.

"My lord, the Inars defense line has been breached, the army of the Forest Free Alliance has invaded the Dunsita Plain, the Heina Region and the eastern part of the Billion Region have fallen, and we have been completely cut off. The reinforcements... the reinforcements can't come."

"This is true."

"Those who fabricate military intelligence shall be executed."

"That's impossible. The Inars Line of Defense can never be breached, and the Woodland Freedom Alliance's army can't possibly cross the Sodaliga Mountains."

In the hall, everyone started arguing after hearing this. No one believed the information reported by the Knight of the Four Seals.

The governor of Haina looked around, but no one dared to look him in the eye. "Someone come here."

The two guards standing guard outside the hall entered the hall, bowed their heads and saluted, waiting for orders.

"Send a message to the Flying Bear Knights. Send them all out to find out the situation in the Billion region for me."

"Yes, my lord."

"Pass the order down, tell the rear to move. In this life-or-death situation, if anyone dares to do the opposite, don't blame me for being ruthless and disregarding our past friendship."

"Yes, Lord Governor."

Everyone left the hall one after another and returned home, ordering their servants and guards to pack up their belongings and prepare to evacuate.

From the governor's tone, they could already hear the idea of ​​abandoning Haina City.

The Bilian region was cut off, and it was only a matter of time before it was captured by the army of the Woodland Freedom Alliance.

There are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops in the southwestern part of the Haina Region, and there is no need to defend. The best option now is to gather troops and seek refuge in the Kingdom of Skalovi before the enemy arrives in Haina City.

Three days later, the governor of Haina Region left 8,000 men to guard Haina City, and personally led an army of 130,000 to the north under the guise of supporting the Billion Region.

Wherever they passed, there would be nobles bringing their families and troops to join the Governor of the Haina Region, causing the number of this "reinforcements" to expand rapidly.

"General, what should we do?"

Looking at the royal flag flying away, an officer bravely asked.

"What do you think we should do?" the young general said unhappily, and then sat down beside the city wall without any image, looking at the kingdom's flag planted high up, closed his eyes, and slept as if no one was around.

The officer saw this and stood quietly by.

As time passed, officers of all ranks of the Haina City garrison came to the city wall one after another, looking at the new garrison general Raphael, waiting for his instructions.

The sun set and without the sunlight, Raphael woke up and looked around. Officers of all levels of the remaining army were basically surrounding him.

"Why are you looking at me? Let's go back." Raphael stood up and said lightly, then walked towards home.

A middle-aged officer looked at the back of the general defending the city and asked, "General, the enemy's vanguard will arrive at Haina City in three days at the latest. How should we defend it?"

"An empty city, what is there to defend?"

Raphael stopped, looked at the sunset in the distance, and said calmly: "Those who want to leave can leave as soon as possible. I will not stop you. Those who want to stay can stay. In three days, I will take you to surrender."

After saying that, Raphael jumped off the city wall without looking back, leaving dozens of officers on the wall looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Goodbye, colleagues."

An officer said this politely, then left the city wall and walked towards the barracks.

The general had spoken, and everyone stopped insisting. With various thoughts in mind, they walked towards the garrisons of the troops they commanded.

The next morning, half of the 8,000 defenders had left.

By that afternoon, there were only two thousand defenders left in the entire city of Haina.

In the early morning, Raphael woke up from his sleep, came to the courtyard, and said, "Put on my armor."

"Yes, General." The four guards responded.
