early autumn day cold night

The enemy is slowly coming

Peaceful life is like fallen leaves

why leave me

grey day on the journey

hand holding spear and sword

leave home to say goodbye to lover

I always think

I want to put on a coat for you

Take care of yourself

no one hurts you more than me

tell you in each

miss you at night

I cry so powerless

Let the autumn wind take away my thoughts

take away my tears

I've been standing strong

Amera Castle

Pray for God to strengthen my hands

fire my heart

Let me destroy the enemy and triumph

come back to you

around you

...

Skadi's beautiful singing resonated with other soldiers in the fortress. They all bid farewell to their hometowns and their families, and were stationed in the frontier castle.

Soon, several veterans sang along.

Before long, a chorus sounded throughout the fortress.

The soldier who was wiping tears in the barracks because he missed his new wife wiped his eyes fiercely, and then joined the chorus.

Fatis breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as the enemy arrived, someone was crying in the barracks, and he was seen on the spot by Charles, who was patrolling.

Well now, no one was hurt, no one was punished, and morale improved a bit.

After the song ended, Charles walked to the door of the church in the fortress and gently pulled the rope next to it.

From the small church came the sound of copper bells, and then there was the sound of getting up and getting dressed.

It didn't take long for the priest to open the door with a candlestick.

"Your Excellency Vice-Principal?"

Bobby, the Eastern pastor of Fort Amera, was less than thirty years old and had studied for a year at MacGarden University Seminary, so he knew Charles.

Charles smiled and said to him, "Excuse me, can I take up your time?"

"No problem." Pastor Bobby immediately ushered Charles into the church sideways, "Do you want to pray or repent?"

Charles did not go to the altar, but sat down in the last row of chairs used for group building in the church in the past, motioned Pastor Bobby to sit next to him, and said, "I'm here tonight mainly for what happened just now."

"Today, the pagan army surrounded us, and the lights of the barracks outside were like stars in the sky. It is understandable that everyone is worried."

"I'll give you the bottom line. In this war, we have prepared an encirclement to trap the enemy in the mountains."

"The mission of Fort Amera is to hold on to it and prevent the enemy's reinforcements and supplies from easily entering the territory."

"I hope you can walk around the military camp more tomorrow, listen to everyone's voice, and use "Shen Qi" to clear the haze in everyone's heart."

When he wrote "God's Revelation", he had the content of military ideological construction, but this work was a bit unfamiliar to the priests, and he failed to grasp the key points immediately in the actual work.

Now 80,000 enemy troops are surrounded by the foot of the mountain, and the scale of the merchants and military prostitutes that follow is not small. Even the officers who participated in the Battle of Fort Garmich many years ago have never seen such a big scene, not to mention those two years ago. Join the recruits.

Moreover, Kebo Wenling has already abolished the system of military prostitutes with the army, and the soldiers cannot vent their worries and fears, so they can only cry.

Although there are conventional military means to boost morale in the fortress, but that has to be reserved for the later stage, and now it is revealed that it may add uncertainty to the war.

At this time, only religion comes into play.

Charles and Pastor Bobby chatted for a short while, and then they said goodbye.

The wind in the mountains is very strong at night, and the north wind blows in autumn, which makes people feel a little cold.

There was silence in the fortress, and the footsteps of patrols could be heard occasionally.

Charles walked alone for a while, was speared several times by the patrol, and then went back to sleep satisfied.

Although he has commanded a lot of battles, it is the first time that the combat power levels of the two sides are so close. It is fake that he is not nervous.

"click"

The sound of a stone falling came from an alley that served as a fire barrier.

Charles pretended to be attracted by the sound, and poked his head into the alley. Valley

Sure enough, a black figure suddenly appeared behind him, covering his mouth with one hand, and stabbed his neck with a dagger in the other.

It's just that the dagger was blocked as soon as it touched the neck, and the assassin stabbed a few times but didn't get in.

The assassin suddenly felt a whirlwind, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Charles rubbed his neck where he had just been stabbed. Although he didn't break the defense, it still hurt.

With the help of the faint moonlight in the sky, it can be seen that the assassin is a good-looking girl.

He had seen this girl before, and she came in with the villagers of Seren Village.

When he went to inspect the villagers' settlement these few days, the girl would flirt with her eyes from time to time. In addition, her appearance and figure were quite attractive, so Scadi made fun of it several times.

Because rural women were often engaged in physical labor, Charles had no doubts about the girl's well-proportioned athletic figure.

Now is the time of life and death. It's not a dinner party. Charles didn't hesitate because the assassin was a young and beautiful woman. In order not to startle the snake, he used teleportation to take her to a deserted island in the north for overnight interrogation.

This assassin is professionally trained, and normal interrogation methods cannot pry her mouth open, but Charles may not be a normal person.

As soon as the sun rose the next day, the soldiers came to the villagers' residential area and selected young and middle-aged villagers to carry things in groups.

There are a lot of things to be moved, boxes of crossbow arrows, bundles of javelins, and stacks of shields all need to be moved to a location close to the city wall.

These things are not light, and everyone carefully walked on the stone road after carrying their own share.

Suddenly, an officer suddenly stretched out his foot from behind and tripped a villager. The villager who was carrying something fell unexpectedly.

Before he could regain his senses, the soldiers next to him rushed up to tie him up, and stuffed him with a cloth ball.

Almost at the same time, several other associates of the assassin were arrested in the same way.

It has to be said that the Kingdom of Swadia has made great efforts to capture the Amera Fort.

Those spies entered Seren Village as refugees three or four years ago. At that time, there were many such refugees. In addition, they did not know the identities of other people before, and they had been living their due diligence, so there were no such refugees in the village. found to be different.

At the same time, the Polcha who charged him 300 dinars was just a trick of the Swadia Kingdom to cover up the real spies.

The arrest caused panic among the villagers, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief with the officer's personal explanation and the chaplain's comfort.

Everyone quickly recalled what was wrong with those few people in the past. For example, someone borrowed a lot of money before the war to spend a lot of money. Now that he thinks about it, he has no plans to pay back the money.

In less than an hour, the spy turmoil came to an end, and there was no splash.

In the morning, the Swadian army at the foot of the mountain sent an emissary.

An officer was hanged from the city wall with a hanging basket. After making sure that the messenger was not armed, he covered his eyes with a black cloth and hoisted him into the fortress.

Fatis sneered when he saw the messenger, and asked the messenger to turn ten and a half circles in place, and then took it around the fortress, making a few random turns before each turn.

The messenger finally came to Charles' residence and was arranged to rest in the living room on the first floor.

When the messenger recovered a little, he immediately discovered a problem.

This is just an ordinary house, and the sound insulation effect is not very good. In the living room, you can hear the wheezing of girls from upstairs and the vibration of the bed hitting the wooden floor.

The messenger looked suspiciously at the guard in the living room, and the guard said angrily, "Sir, he is practicing in the morning."

The sun outside was very high, which made the messenger frown slightly.

Soon the movement upstairs died down after a few shouts.

After a while, Charles came to the living room.

Although his clothes are neat, you can still see the print under the collar.

After some courtesies, the messenger presented a letter of persuasion from the king of Swadia.

Charles took the letter very solemnly. After reading it, he returned the letter and said, "It's too cold in that place."

The price that Harroth's father offered him was a fief that looked quite large, but it was located on the northern border of the Swadia Kingdom, where the people were still half-farming and half-hunting.

The messenger left without having lunch, expressing that he would take Charles' words back.

Not long after, there was such a message in the fortress: "The enemy said that as long as we surrender, we will be exiled to the north where the urine will freeze immediately."

For the next few days, the two sides tacitly did not launch an attack.

Charles needs to let the soldiers get used to the atmosphere of the war, and the enemy at the foot of the mountain also needs to rest~lightnovelpub.net~ This is beneficial to the Kebowen leader. The longer the delay, the more fully prepared for the defensive battle.

It's just that the messenger had a bit of hard work. Every morning, he first went around the fortress, then sat in the living room and listened to Charles' morning exercise, then handed over the latest version of the letter of persuasion to surrender, and finally returned with various conditions.

On the fourth day, it seemed that Charles had been practicing for a long time in the morning, so the messenger suddenly rushed to the second floor to push open the bedroom door.

His strength is not small, and he was pushed to the ground when several soldiers stepped forward to stop him.

But the bedroom door was unexpectedly strong, and the messenger couldn't open it after several pushes.

The sound inside stopped, and after a while, Charles opened the door from the room with a dark face, and by the way, let the messenger see the situation in the room.

When the time came to noon, the messenger returned to the foot of the mountain and began to report to the king on the work of the day: "Today, the vice-principal Charles categorically rejected the request for peace, on the grounds that I disturbed his entertainment every morning."

"Today, I took a chance to go upstairs to take a look at his bedroom. There are three women on the bed inside. Their demeanor and the smell in the room can't be faked."

Then he looked at a nobleman beside the king and said, "One of the women looks roughly the same as the woman among the few people you have brought my attention to."

Her father Harroth sneered and said to the people around him: "It seems that my future son-in-law is under a lot of pressure. Since this is the case, we will put more pressure on him."

"He's been in books too long, thinking that paper that shreds at the touch of water is the power."

"We've almost rested, let him know before we leave that the real power comes from knives and swords made of steel."

As the horn sounded, the army camp of the Swadia Kingdom under the mountain suddenly became lively.
