Chapter 268 Flag Sacrifice
Time passed by minute by minute, and the allied camp looked like no one was interested.
"What's going on?"
Marvin looked at the entrance of the camp, "Even if that Corinne was going out like a woman and had to dress up, he should be here soon!"
"Don't worry, Philip should be back soon."
After the voice fell, Philip quickly walked into the tent: "It's not good, that Corinne closed the castle gate, and now even the castle servants who went out to do business are not allowed in, and no one comes out!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard such news.
"Fuck, who leaked the news!"
Marvin roared: "Is there a traitor among us?"
Corinne stayed at home, obviously he had heard the news, and it was normal for Marvin to have such suspicion.
For a while, the people in the tent looked at each other, and they were all a little alert.
Yesterday, in addition to Ronin and his people, there were only Toru, Marvin, Philip, and Thorstein. Even Taren didn't know the inside story.
If there was a traitor, it would be among these four people.
The coalition was already loose, and if the top leaders didn't trust each other, it would be a terrible thing.
Roning said at the right time: "Don't doubt each other. In my opinion, the person who passed the information to Corian was not one of us. Amycus in Chishan Town is also possible. After all, the disappearance of a core figure is something they should be alert to."
Although he said so, he still didn't expect the other party to notice it so quickly, and to report the information to Corian so quickly, which shows that they have a high degree of mutual trust and communication.
Roning had to sigh that the situation changed rapidly, and his plan to catch the turtle in the jar was ruined.
"Roning makes sense."
The tense atmosphere in the big tent eased a lot.
They also admired the adaptability of the young man in front of them more and more. If it was Wiggins, no, if it was them, their thinking would not be able to catch up with the other party.
"Ronin, what should we do next?"
Toru asked: "With the material reserves of a general castle, even if Corinne hides in the Giant Stone Castle for ten days or half a month, he will not worry about food. But we can't. This time, the Giant Stone Castle will bear the food consumption of the Wushan Castle Knight Squadron and the Wubeiling Knight Squadron."
In a nutshell, if Corinne does not provide food, the coalition will have nothing to eat.
If you are hungry, you will not only be unable to fight, but will also cause panic.
"The food problem is easy to solve."
Before Ronin spoke, Marvin gave a suggestion: "The Giant Stone City is so big, there are so many people, if it really doesn't work, just requisition their food."
Requisition sounds good, but it is actually robbery.
"The food stored in the camp should be enough for four or five days. If not, let other nobles balance the food and promise to return it to them after the war is won. The most important thing now is to consider how to deal with the enemy."
Ronin said: "The Boulder City and the Polant Thieves are cooperating. Since they have communicated with each other, I believe that Amycus also knows the situation of Corian. As a key ally in victory or defeat, Amycus will definitely send troops to support us. We need to prevent being attacked from both sides."
Everyone nodded slightly.
Thorstein couldn't help asking: "Should we divide our troops to resist?"
Ronin pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head.
It's not good to keep the troops in place, and it's not a good idea to divide the troops to fight.
"Last night was too short to attack the Giant Stone Castle, but we can try now."
Ronin said, "If we can take down the Giant Stone Castle before the enemies in Chishan Town arrive, we will not only have food, but we will also only have to deal with one enemy."
Marvin looked worried, and continued Ronin's words, "But the defense of the Giant Stone Castle is very strong."
"I have a way to deal with it."
Ronin said, "The Marquis gave me a level 6 magic cannon, which may be able to blast open the gate of the Giant Stone Castle."
"Magic cannon? The Marquis is willing to give you this thing?"
Marvin glared. He tried to buy a magic cannon at a slightly cheaper price, but Lu Lans didn't agree.
Now, the other party directly gave Ronin one.
Sure enough, compared with the apprentice, the grandson is closer.
The eyes of others also lit up. With the help of the magic cannon, it would be much easier to break through the castle.
"We are close to the Giant Stone Castle. Even if the bandits from Chishan Town arrive, it will take a day."
Marching at full speed will not take that long, but facing a battle that may break out at any time, they need to maintain their physical strength and cannot move forward at full speed.
"Within a day, we will try to blast open the gate of the Giant Stone Castle. Even if we can't blast it open, we will block them inside the castle and prevent them from getting out."
"At the same time, on the way to support the Giant Stone Castle, the Polish bandits will rely on the surrounding houses and other favorable terrain to set traps and ambushes."
Since luring the snake out of the hole and catching the turtle in the jar are not working, then we will surround the point and attack the reinforcements. At the same time, facing a single enemy, the noble coalition still has an advantage.
Under his arrangement, everyone felt that the chaotic situation suddenly became clear.
"Okay, let's do this!"
Marvin clapped his hands and looked like he was going to do something big: "I'll let Taren take people to get rid of Corian's team in the camp first, and use them as sacrifices."
Of course, some of the people Corian left in the camp were innocent, but it would be difficult to deal with this situation if they were not killed.
Moreover, with the war imminent, suddenly announcing that an important figure in the coalition was a traitor would definitely cause instability in the people's hearts. Publicizing Correan's evil deeds and executing his subordinates in public would have a very good effect.
"Toru, Redar, you should also deal with the traitor's matter, and try to let the coalition know the crimes committed by Correan and the whole process of the matter."
Ronin also ordered: "Philip and Thorstein, the scouts in Chishan Town cannot be reduced. They must be divided into batches, and multiple people in a group continuously report the latest developments of the Polante Thieves Group to us."
"Yes!" The two deputy leaders responded in a deep voice.
After some arrangements, everyone else left.
"McKen, go and gather Joffrey, Rogner and other ten extraordinary people. I have a special task for you."
"Yes, sir!"
McKen has seen the command ability of the lord and is looking forward to this special task.
On the other hand, as Talen and Marvin led the knights to surround Correan's men, a storm of waves was set off in the camp.
The barons, knights, and leaders of various family teams all couldn't believe that the baron of the Stone Territory would betray Wushan Castle.
They couldn't understand why he betrayed Wushan Castle when he was already a baron and was valued by the Marquis.
But with Toru's explanation and the interrogation of those knights, the truth about the tragedy in Chishan Town that night and Haen's death in battle surfaced.
The noble coalition began to accuse these traitors, throwing stones, and even drawing their swords.
In the wave of killing traitors and avenging Knight Haen, all the knights who stayed in the camp were slaughtered.
The hostility of the noble coalition to the Stone Castle reached a climax. With the order of Toru and others, the noble coalition, which had been divided into teams, left the camp under the leadership of the new captain and marched towards the Stone Castle. (End of this chapter)
