Chapter 23 Difficult Defense

They arrived in a hurry, and the team did not carry a lot of siege equipment. The three long ladders of the roommate were carried by the soldiers.

But the fact that there were no siege equipment was not taken seriously by Baron Lobean. He knew that there were only a dozen guards in the castle, and the truly trained guards were only a few. Even with the help of the city wall, they would definitely not be able to withstand 300 people. attack.

What's more, he has also arranged spies in the castle, and the city gate will be opened in a while, so he is determined to win this Moland Fort!

"Prepare to defend! No one is allowed to escape! If anyone dares to escape, I will stuff your intestines into your mouth before you act!" Logan shouted loudly to threaten the guards.

He held a long sword in his hand, and wore a half-body chain armor on his body to stand ready. The hero units exchanged from the system were loyal to Leiner. Even if he died in battle, he would keep his master's territory.

The guards on the city wall looked at the enemy army below the city wall tremblingly, facing so many enemy troops they were quite afraid.

The atmosphere in the air gradually solidified, and the news that the enemy army appeared below the castle was known to everyone as if they had grown wings.

This news shrouded the castle like a nightmare. Although Mrs. Moreland suppressed it, people still seemed panicked.

The baron was leading the army outside, but someone attacked the castle at this time, which was a devastating blow to the morale of the castle.

The dim flames flickered on the top of the city, illuminating the nervous and terrified faces of the guards, making them even more at a loss.

Although they are afraid, they also know that if the castle is captured, they will have no way out. On the contrary, if they rely on the castle to block the enemy's attack, they will have a way out.

At the same time, his subordinate Barron was galloping fast on his horse. He had been marching for more than an hour, and he was not far from the place where Reiner was stationed.

After all, Fort Mollander is just a small barony, and it only takes a short time to span the entire territory.

His breathing was also very short, and the galloping horse told him that his buttocks hurt a little, but he didn't care about it at all, because the flames of the camp had already appeared in front of his eyes.

He didn't know if the fire in front of him was an enemy or a friend, or whether it was the baron who had defeated the Kraders, but he knew that this was the last straw for the entire territory.

If the Kladers were stationed here, then all would be lost, and shaking his head to get these things out of his mind, he picked up the horse again.

"Stop! Stop your horse! Otherwise, you and your horse will become corpses!" Several guards outside the simple camp raised their spears and long swords and shouted at Barron, who was advancing at a high speed. road.

"I am a servant of the Moreland family! I have something urgent to see the baron immediately!" Baron, who was galloping, gradually slowed down his horse, and then took out a small coat with the coat of arms of the Moreland family from his arms. Said the flag waving.

Several guards saw the small flag in his hand after seeing the light of the fire, and immediately put him into the camp without daring to neglect.

Two guards followed Barron, sending him to Reiner's tent along the way.

At this moment, Reiner was sipping malt wine in a happy mood. He had completed the mission and received rewards and reputation.

"What's the matter?" Reiner was not very happy about his leisure time being interrupted, as a person who likes to be at ease, he doesn't like being disturbed.

"It is such a baron, he, who calls himself Baron, is a messenger from Fort Moreland, and he wants to see you with a letter from Mr. Logan!" The two guards said.

"Barron?" Reiner thought for a while and said, "Let him in!"

He knew this Barron. There were not many people in Fort Moreland as a military castle. Basically, everyone Reiner had seen.

He still has some impressions of this Barron, after all, there are not many followers in the castle.

"Urgent matter?" Reiner was a little curious, what urgent matter could happen in the territory?

After Baron came in, he said anxiously to Reiner: "My lord, the castle is about to be attacked. As he spoke, he took out the letter that had been warmed up from his arms."

When Reiner heard that it was related to the castle, he panicked. As a nobleman, it can be said that the castle is everything to him. If there is no territory, then he is worthless as a baron, and he will be a courtier for others Or work like a housekeeper, he absolutely can't bear it.

In his opinion, in this era, if one can't be a lord, the kind of person who wakes up with a drunken beauty and holds the power of the world, it is meaningless.

In the final analysis, he is just a lucky man who has become a lord by chance. He may be hundreds of years ahead of the whole era in knowledge and thinking, but his specific talents are still at the level of ordinary people.

He took a deep breath, took the letter and checked that the wax was intact, opened the envelope and began to read the contents inside.

"Ding! Mission released! Defend your territory!"

"As a lord, losing your own territory is the same as losing your life. You must never let others take your territory!"

"Mission reward: Covering the stone road in the territory, upgrading the castle once, meritorious service 300"

"Failure penalty: loss of territory"

"Damn it!" Leiner gritted his teeth, ignoring the tasks issued by the system. He didn't expect that someone would attack Fort Morland while he was leading the battle.

Lobean, the Baron of Gorburg, knows that Gorburg is just south of Merland Fort, and he will benefit from resisting the Klad people on the northern border of Gorburg, but Lobean actually took this opportunity to come Attack yourself.

"Lord Baron, the situation is very critical. We don't know what kind of benefit they will arrive at the castle. Please return to the castle as soon as possible to protect your subjects!" Baron said anxiously.

"Sir Cord!" Reiner called out loudly: "Assembly our army immediately! We must return to the castle immediately!"

"What happened? Your lord the baron?" Sir Corder asked inexplicably. He didn't know why the baron suddenly gave the order to return to the castle on this night of victory.

You must know that it is night now, and it is quite unreasonable for the soldiers who have fought all day during the day to finally get a rest, but now it is quite unreasonable to wake them up from their sleep.

"The castle is about to be attacked! We must return to the defense immediately, gather the army immediately and we must go back immediately!" Reiner said solemnly.

"What!" Sir Corder was also taken aback when he heard the news. She didn't even ask the reason and who was the attacker, and immediately said: "Yes, Lord Baron, I will go to assemble the army immediately!"

At this time, the night was already deep, and the exhausted soldiers were sleeping soundly. The sound of snoring filled the entire camp, but the sound of the trumpets woke them up from their dreams.

Dim sleepy eyes looked at the sky outside, and saw that there was still darkness between the sky and the earth. They couldn't help cursing that damned trumpeter, but they still had to reluctantly get up from the bed, put on heavy cotton clothes, and then stand in front of the tent. line up.

Those who did not appear in the assembly queue within five minutes of the sound of the bronze horn would be punished with thirty lashes, and no one wanted to suffer such a punishment.
