Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 774: Reward an official who wants to die before the war

In the city of Talsi, the capital of the Arab region, Tusk learned of the enemy's movements, and his eyes flickered. In the end, he decided to proceed according to the original plan.

With more than 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people, facing the elite left by the enemy, the chance of winning is not high.

Having reached this position, he has a very deep understanding of "not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes".

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

In the Haina region of the Kingdom of Arland, the 15th Army was unstoppable, successively captured three earldoms, captured more than 10,000 enemy troops, eliminated ordinary soldiers, and all the remaining captives were still given to Lavia's students for persuasion. Those who did not give up their belief in the God of Giants within three days were directly physically destroyed.

Going deep into the enemy alone, Weilin did not adopt a radical approach, but chose to play steadily. Every time he arrived at a place, he would capture all the professionals there, give preferential treatment to those who were willing to join the army, distribute money and property, and promise titles, land, and cultivation methods and magic potion resources.

For those who are unwilling to cooperate, the stronger ones are secretly executed, and the weaker ones are branded on their faces, imprisoned in dungeons, and used as mining slaves in the future.

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

The cannon fodder troops are expanding like a snowball, forcing Weilin to set up a new army to accommodate more and more warriors from Arland.

After the Black Rock Army, the Thousand Fort Army, the Badak Army, the Mines Army and the Arlan 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 Haina City, the capital of the Haina Region, in the Governor's Mansion built with logs, a sturdy middle-aged man with a gloomy face looked at the battle reports on the table, not knowing where to recruit troops.

"Governor, Bayan City fell, and General Min 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 walked out of the queue and answered, "Governor, less than 200 kilometers."

"200 kilometers." The governor of Haina closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself, making it hard for everyone present to guess what he was thinking.

After a long time, the governor of Haina opened his eyes and asked, "Is there any news about the reinforcements?"

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

Three waves of flying knights were sent to ask for help, but there was no sign of reinforcements, and there was no 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 helped the dying Four Seal Knight into the hall.

Looking at the Four Seal Knight who was barely breathing, a general took out a piece of preserved fruit containing magic from his chest and fed it to the other party, using the seal to help the other party digest it.

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

After waking up, the Four Seal Knight saluted the general first, and then began to report the situation to the governor.

"My lord, the Inars defense line was breached, the army of the Forest Free Alliance invaded the Dunsita Plain, the Heina District and the eastern part of the Billion District fell, we were completely cut off, and the reinforcements... the reinforcements can't come."

"This is serious."

"You fabricated military information and should be killed."

"This is impossible. The Inars defense line is absolutely impossible to be breached, and the army of the Forest Free Alliance is even less likely to cross the Sodaliga Mountains."

In the hall, everyone heard the words and quarreled. No one believed the intelligence reported by the Four Seal Knight. "Clean up."

The governor of the Heina District glanced around, and no one dared to look at him. "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, all of them go out, go and find out the situation in the Billion District."

"Yes, sir."

"Send the order down, and let the rear move. At this moment of life and death, whoever dares to go against me, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless and disregarding our past friendship."

"Yes, Governor."

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

From the governor's tone, they have heard the idea of ​​abandoning Haina City.

The Billion District was cut off, and it was only a matter of time before it was captured by the army of the Forest Free Alliance.

There are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops in the southwest of the Haina District, and there is no need to defend it. For now, while the enemy has not yet arrived in Haina City, it is the most correct choice to gather troops and go to the Kingdom of Skalovi to seek refuge.

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

Every time they passed a place, there would be nobles with their families and troops to join the governor of Haina Region, causing the number of this "reinforcement" to expand rapidly.

"General, what should we do?"

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

"What do you think we should do?" The young general said unhappily, and then sat down by the city wall without any image, looking at the royal flag planted high up, closing his eyes, and sleeping as if no one was around.

Seeing this, the officer stood quietly aside.

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

The sun was setting, and without the sunlight, Raphael woke up and looked around. The officers of all levels of the remaining army were basically around him.

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

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

"What is there to defend in an empty city?"

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

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

"Goodbye, colleagues."

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

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

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

That afternoon, only 2,000 defenders remained in the entire city of Haina.

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

"Yes, General." The four guards responded.
