Come to another world and become a lord

Carl was running on the wall of Greyburg, his face covered with sweat and stains, and there was even a wound on his left arm. When Morton's large army arrived nearby, they only rested for one night and began to force the siege the next morning. The commander in charge of this attack was his old acquaintance, Iren.

"Free fire! Don't let them get close to the city wall!" Carl shouted at every soldier as he walked, his voice echoing in the cold morning wind. On the other side, Alia led a sword and shield team, constantly clearing out the enemies who tried to climb up. Her Fire Rose Guards were assigned to various sentry towers because of their superb archery skills, responsible for dealing with the enemy archers.

At the urging of Iren, the enemy's infantry began to climb the city wall desperately.

At the same time, a dozen men pushed a huge siege cone to hit the city gate, and each blow made the ground roar.

"Drain the oil!" Carl ordered.

Hot oil poured down the city walls, but was stopped by the bulkheads above the siege cones.

However, this was only the first step. Then, Carl shouted again: "Ignite!"

Rockets were fired and torches were thrown. They landed on the partition and instantly ignited the oil. Soon, the flames spread and the huge siege cone began to burn, accompanied by the screams of countless soldiers. They escaped from under the partition and began to beat the flames off their bodies, and were then shot and killed one by one by arrows.

Then, he suddenly saw Elena also appeared on the city wall. She was wearing armor and holding the sword and shield given by Goswin. She ran and shouted:

"Soldiers, do not be afraid! I am your Lord Selena, and I will fight with you until the very end!"

And at the moment when the girl ran up to the city wall, he also saw Morton's catapult in the distance just shooting a stone, right towards the girl's location.

"Be careful!" He rushed over and pushed the other person down almost instinctively. The rocks passed over their heads and hit one of the watchtowers. The huge crash and the subsequent rubble shocked everyone. When Carl looked up, the watchtower had collapsed in half, and there were panicked soldiers in the smoke and dust.

"Is Iren crazy? How dare he attack the city like this!" He yelled angrily, while helping Selena up.

But after he stood up, he suddenly felt dizzy. He didn't know whether it was because of tiredness or the shock from the previous impact. He thought Morton would adopt a siege tactic, but he didn't expect that the other party would transfer the command of the army to Iren, and this kid was crazy and attacked fiercely as soon as he came up.

Everything in front of him reminded him of the time when the Great Khan attacked Rickburg. No, it should be said that this time was much more difficult than the Great Khan's attack. Even though Morton did not have so many soldiers, Greyburg was not that strong either. More importantly, he had no reinforcements this time, so he could not use any tricks.

The battle lasted from early morning to dusk, until blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up like a mountain, and the enemy retreated. The walkway on the wall of Greyburg was now blood-red. Carl sat down on the spot, feeling a little exhausted. He took off his helmet, took out the water bag at his waist and took a gulp of beer, wiped the sweat off his face, and when he looked up again, he saw Alia had come to his side.

"How many casualties did we suffer?" he asked.

"Compared to the enemy, it's not much." The girl replied, "The problem is that the damage to the weapons is greater than expected, and the bow and arrows are almost used up."

"It's only been one day..." He sneered, then complained, "Iron is crazy. He doesn't even care about his own lives~"

"It is indeed unwise to attack like this." Alia nodded and said, "But if we continue like this, we will be the first to collapse."

After hearing this, Carl asked:

"What's your suggestion?"

But Alia didn't say anything. After a long time, she sighed softly and said:

"We have no choice but to continue fighting."

"So, did I do something wrong?" Carl said silently.

But I heard Alia laugh:

"If I'm wrong, don't forget that I agree with your decision."

Looking at the girl's smile, Carl felt a little guilty. This time, perhaps he had implicated the other party.

The night was a little cold and long. Even though he was exhausted after a whole day of fighting, he was still worried and couldn't fall asleep. Until the tent curtain was opened, Alia walked in with a strange man. The man was thin and wrapped tightly with a hood and cloak, and his appearance was almost invisible.

Such a suspicious outfit forced Karl to pay attention.

"Who is this person?" he asked Aaliyah.

And Alia smiled and said:

"The Chamber of Commerce is carrying President Edmund's certificate and seal."

"Edmund sent you?" Carl turned to look at the man.

But I heard the man say in a low voice:

"Yes, Lord Karl, I was entrusted by the presidents of the four associations to escort you away."

"Take me away? Now that Morton's troops have surrounded Greyburg, how are you going to take me away?" Carl asked.

The man smiled and said:

"Ah, don't worry about that. We have bribed Baron Baldo Frey who is stationed in the west. He allowed me to take the two of us away tonight. After that, we can go all the way back to Rickburg along the Northwest Road."

Carl was silent for a long while, then looked up at Alia:

"So, you want me to know Rickburg?"

"I support your choice, but sometimes you still have to do what you can. You have done your best in this matter." Alia replied. She paused and continued, "Tonight, you take Selena away, and I will stay to fight Morton."

"You stay?" Carl looked up in confusion. He knew very well what this meant. If Alia stayed here, it would be a complete death situation and she would not be able to survive.

"No, I'm not leaving." He continued, then he turned to look at the man, "Go tell Edmund that I will continue to stay in Greyburg."

"What?" the man screamed. Although his face could not be seen, one could still feel his surprise from his tone.

After a pause, Carlton continued:

"But since you are here, could you please take Alia and Selena away first?"

After hearing what Carl said, Alia screamed:

"Are you kidding me? Asking me to leave? Who do you think he came here for? Besides, you wouldn't be able to last a day without me!"

At this point, Alia sighed, and then continued:

"The president of the Fourth Association asked him to come here in the hope of taking you away!"

Carl smiled after hearing this:

"Then I can't leave. Besides, Greyburg is now the only ally of Rickburg. If it falls, it will only be a matter of time before Rickburg is taken. It's just a matter of dying sooner or later."

"Lord Karl, why bother? Just follow me, and the four guild leaders will come forward to mediate the conflict between you and Earl Morton..."

Before the man could finish, Karl interrupted him:

"No need. Go tell the four presidents that I appreciate their kindness, but I will live and die with Greyburg."

"This……"

Alia suddenly asked from the side:

"Is this your choice?"

Seeing Karl nod, she sighed helplessly, then waved to the man.

Finally, the man gave up and walked out of the tent listlessly. At the last moment before leaving, he suddenly turned back and asked:

"How many days can Greyburg hold out?"

"At least a week, as long as I'm here," Alia replied.

The man nodded and walked out of the tent.

Looking at the other person's disappearing back, Alia said to Carl in an extremely calm tone:

"You know, you've given up your last chance. Is it worth it?"

Carl tilted his head and replied:

"I didn't give up my last chance, I just took a gamble."
