Come to another world and become a lord

In the northern nomadic army, when the warhorse of Great Khan Atikila walked out of the army formation, almost everyone held their breath. People stared at the northern king with awe - a heavy dark leather armor, wrapped in a complete bear skin cloak, and unmelted snow still accumulated on it, forming a layer of light white. His long hair fluttered in the wind, echoing the black battle flag behind him. There was no expression on the face of the Great Khan, only a pair of deep eyes revealed determination and ambition. It was as if his existence was a gust of ice wind, which made people terrified and irresistible.

Behind him, a young girl rode a shorter white horse and slowly walked forward, pulling the reins when she came to a position parallel to him. The girl had a fair face and bright eyes. Her long eyelashes were as white as snow for some reason, and her eyebrows and soft long hair were also white.

This is Noura, the only daughter of Great Khan Atikila, known as the Snow Princess.

She was wearing light armor made of snow fox fur, a felt hat made of fox fur on her head, and pure white. In her hand, she held a spear whose tip did not look like metal, but crystal. The center was a strange blue, and cold air was constantly pouring out. She had a bow on her back and a sword on her waist, and the sword also exuded a similar cold air as the spear, which leaked out from the gorgeous scabbard. All of this made her as cold as ice and snow, and it was cold in the true sense of the word, not just in a metaphor.

When she spoke, her tone was gentle, yet revealed an incomparable coldness:

"Dad, they opened the city gates. It seems they couldn't bear to kill their own people."

Atikila narrowed his eyes and looked forward, but did not say anything.

Seeing that her father didn't say anything, the girl continued:

"Father, now is the best opportunity. I am willing to fight. Once I charge in and capture the castle, we will be able to move south without any obstacles."

But what he got in return was Atikila shaking his head again. The Great Khan stared ahead. The city gate on the other side was wide open. He had never seen anyone take such a move. Would a lord order the city gate to be opened because he couldn't bear to kill the untouchables? This had never happened before and would never happen. He couldn't even understand the actions on the other side. He looked at his daughter, who had an expectant look in her eyes, but he just shook his head calmly:

"Don't be careless, test the situation first."

Then he whispered to a general beside him:

"You, lead a small scout team and chase after them to see what's going on."

"Yes~" the general replied with a fist salute, then rode his horse into the army formation.

On the other hand, Nura showed a dissatisfied look:

"Father, if you miss this opportunity, it will be gone!"

But Atikira remained cautious and repeated:

"Let's talk later~"

After a while, accompanied by whistling and the sound of whips, a cavalry team of nearly 70 people rushed out of the formation and chased after the villagers in front.

On the tower, Alia stared at Carl with her eyes wide open, not knowing what to say for a long time. However, since the order had been issued, everyone followed it, after all, he was the lord now.

After a long while, Alia calmed down and asked:

"Do you know what you're doing?"

And Karl's tone was also exceptionally calm:

"I just let these people into the city. If I don't open the door, they won't survive at all."

The girl almost vomited blood and shouted uncontrollably:

"That's not the question at all. I mean why should we save these people!"

Well, why should we save them? This is indeed a good question. As a person who traveled from the modern world, it is indeed not in line with the moral values ​​of the original world to watch a group of refugees die without helping them. However, Carl is not really such a saint. The reason why he wants to open the city gate is more to test the other party's reaction.

Then he saw 70 enemy cavalrymen rushing out of the army formation and charging towards this side. They quickly joined up with the few cavalrymen who were driving away the villagers, and then chased that group of people and continued to advance towards the city gate.

But in fact there was no need for them to chase anymore. When they saw the city gate open, everyone automatically quickened their pace.

"The enemy is coming, prepare for battle~" he said calmly without answering Alia's question.

"You don't have to say it."

"More than 70 riders, can they be eaten?" Carl continued to ask.

"No problem~" Alia's eyes became sharp at this time. As a veteran who had been fighting for many years, she no longer asked questions, but focused her attention on the cavalry.

She leaned down, took down the bow behind her, and took an arrow and put it on the string. The Fire Rose Guards beside her also made the same move at this time. Everyone did it almost at the same time, so neatly that it seemed as if they were connected in mind. Then he heard Alia shout again:

"Everyone hold on, wait until everyone enters the city before shooting."

Karl understood that this was meant for the castle guards. Her own team did not need such clear instructions. With just a glance or a gesture, they would know what to do.

For a moment, the surroundings became quiet, and a solemn atmosphere began to spread on the city wall. Everyone held their bows and held their breath. The sound of horse hooves and the screams of villagers outside the city began to become particularly harsh. Jim squatted beside Carl and swallowed nervously. Waiting, the sound was getting closer and closer, accompanied by dust, and then countless villagers, crowding into the city gate, and the scale of hundreds of people soon filled this small city.

Following closely behind were the 70 cavalrymen, who were trapped in the crowd the moment they rushed into the city, and could hardly move forward.

Faced with the towering city walls all around, these cavalrymen seemed to have a bad premonition, and when they wanted to retreat, they were blocked by their teammates who rushed into the city behind them.

At the same time, Carl waved his hand fiercely:

"Lower the gate!"

As the city gate fell, bows and arrows arrived as expected. In the chaotic crowd, those riding tall horses became the most conspicuous targets. They were shot and fell off their horses one by one with screams.

The battle lasted only a few minutes, and the 70 cavalrymen were defeated in a flash, without losing a single person. During this period, some cavalrymen even wanted to dismount and blend into the crowd, but under the accurate shooting of the Fire Rose Guards, everything became futile.

"We won! We won!" Someone on the wall suddenly cheered, and then all the local guards of Rickburg began to cheer. Carl understood that many of them were really fighting for the first time. Most of those with combat experience were taken away by the king himself, and only some inexperienced recruits were left. On the contrary, Arya's Fire Roses were relatively calm. For them, such a small-scale battle was not even a victory. He was once again thankful that if it weren't for the prime minister, he would really be in trouble.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Alia, who looked back at him angrily and started to bring up the topic that had been interrupted before:

"I really don't know what you are thinking. Tell me, what are your plans?"

Carl could only scratch his cheek helplessly:

"Isn't this a win~"

"We only destroyed a team of scouts. The enemy didn't fall for it at all. This achievement can't affect the outcome of the battle." The girl replied bluntly.

"I don't plan to win by relying on force." To be honest, it would be difficult to deal with if the other party really rushed forward. There is no way that such a small number of people can defeat ten thousand people, Carl complained in his heart.

"So, what exactly do you want to do?" the girl continued to ask.

"Well, I just can't bear to see these people die in vain. You have been advising me to let the townspeople guard the outer city, but I didn't agree. Now, the people guarding the outer city are here~" Carl said while pointing at the frightened villagers under the city. There are at least four or five hundred people.

After hearing what Carl said, Alia became even more angry and amused:

"I think you may not understand what our real difficulty is. It has never been a question of numbers, but food! Food! How can we feed so many people?"

She paused here and continued shouting:

"What's more, if we rely on this group of people to defend the city, I'm afraid it will be gone in half a day!"

"Well, if that's the case, then there's no need to worry about food issues. Well, I think I should talk to their leader about the current situation." Carl said as he walked towards the bottom of the city wall.

"I'm telling you, are you listening to me seriously?"

"Of course there are people who listen..."

In the Northern People's Army, Great Khan Atikila watched everything happen expressionlessly, watching his scout team rush into the city and then be annihilated. All of this was within his expectations, but facing the death of his compatriots, he still couldn't help but sigh, and then shook his head:

"It seems they don't intend to surrender."

On the other side, Nura was gritting his teeth in hatred, and his hand holding the spear was creaking:

"They are dead. I swear with my name that after the city is captured, not a single living thing will be left alive!"

The Great Khan just patted his daughter on the head and then smiled:

"Okay, that's how war works. There will always be sacrifices, and you~ have to get used to it as soon as possible. Go tell Kachar to start preparing siege weapons."
