Chapter 702: Strong Will

Field led the army, gathered all the troops, and arrived at Bull's Castle at dusk.

As expected, Fort Bull was filled with Union soldiers, and there was even a temporary camp built of wood outside the city. The entire Bull Fort was filled with the smell of blood, and the wails of wounded soldiers could be heard endlessly.

"This place is really...a killing place." Field clicked his tongue.

"Since the count has persuaded me to surrender, even though I don't know his intentions, I am willing to give him a chance."

Then he asked the soldiers to bring two captured enemy soldiers and write two handwritten letters persuading them to surrender.

Field ordered: "You two, give this letter to the earl and ask him to surrender. As long as you pay the price of materials or gold coins, you can get your life back."

After watching the two soldiers enter the city, Field let his army rest.

"Your Majesty, we caught some strange people when we checked their identities." A grudge knight came to report, "They said they were from Earl Pig."

"Count Pig?"

Field was stunned: "Earl Pig has not suffered enough yet, and he actually dares to form a coalition army and bring them over."

Soon, the advisor sent by Earl Pig was thrown in front of Field's horse.

"Lord Baron, please spare my life." The consultant was shaking like chaff. He was frightened by the previous battle.

"What's your name? What official position do you hold under Count Pig?" Field raised his chin, "Why did you join Count Swallow's coalition."

"My name is Blue, and I am one of Earl Pig's newly appointed military advisors." Blue looked up at Field's expression and continued, "Well... you attacked Earl Pig's territory, and Lord Earl was very angry. , just thinking about...revenge."

"So that's it. It seems that Earl Pig is a man who never waits for revenge."

Field was amused, but his smile quickly calmed down and was replaced by murderous intent: "The caravan that attacked me before is now invading again. No lessons have been learned."

"By the way, my knights are distributing food in your village. Has the food been taken away?"

"Ah? That's from you." Blue was stunned.

They thought it was hidden secretly or stolen by the ignorant people.

"It has been taken back by the count. Many people died for the sake of food. Many people in the territory fled or were driven away."

"Nima, what a beast this is. The subjects only have a few pieces of black bread, and they have to search it away. Are you going to eat that stuff? If you don't eat it, you won't let others eat it."

Field was furious when he heard the news.

Blue shrank his neck and collapsed on the ground in fear: "It's all orders from the Earl, it's none of my business."

Field said secretly: No, Zhaoxia City can no longer let Earl Pig rule. Otherwise one of the best cities I can get is going to be a trash can.

Rick's province has one south and one north. The best land in the south is the Rose family's Golden Eagle City, which is in the hands of his sister.

To the north, closer to the Night Territory, is Earl Pig's Zhaoxia City.

These two cities are not only good in size and construction. The location is also excellent and can connect the east and west, so it is naturally the core of the province.

"This is a bit difficult to deal with. At this stage, I am afraid that Maple Leaf City and Zhaoxia City can only occupy one."

Zhaoxia City has strong defense power, but it is too far away from the Night Territory, separated by other people's land, and surrounded by many greedy people. It is an "enclave" and it is extremely difficult to take charge of it.

Maple Leaf City, on the other hand, is easy to attack and difficult to defend. It is bare on the plains and does not even have a decent city wall. The enemy can attack at will. Maple Leaf City is so prosperous only because of Simon and Fronni themselves.

If he wants to occupy them all, he will immediately burst into flames from all directions.

"Can you convince the soldiers you brought with you to come out and surrender?"

"Yes, of course."

Hearing this, he seemed to be grasping at straws, and Blue was overjoyed: "I am willing to die for your Excellency."

"Very good. As long as it's done, you don't have to die. I keep my word."

Blue kept kowtowing: "Sir, I'm going to ask the soldiers to surrender to you."

"Don't worry, they are in the city now. If they want to surrender, I'm afraid they will be slaughtered." Field rubbed his chin, "Follow my orders."

Not long after, food and baggage transported from the border fortress arrived.

Everyone had a hot meal and their morale was high.

Field chewed the chicken leg bone stick twice and threw it away: "Let's see if Count Swaro is willing to surrender."

At this time, inside Bull Castle.

Count Swaro received the shocking news that his fourth-level divine choice Esther was killed in battle. Her lord was worried that the army would lose control, so he hid it and did not report it. But after returning to the fortress, he vomited blood and died suddenly.

"Ahhh!"

For a moment, Siwaro's face turned red, he drew his sword and struck in all directions.

Everyone in the camp was as silent as a cicada.

Simon shivered with fear and nervously tugged at the hem of Fronni's skirt, almost tearing her clothes off.

"I, I want to go home, let's stop fighting." Simon was sweating profusely.

Fronni made a silence gesture: "Don't talk about this now, let's see what the count thinks first."

"Sir, some of our soldiers have brought back a letter from Baron Field." The guard dragged the two soldiers in.

"What letter?" Swaro's eyes turned red.

"My lord, this is a letter of surrender."

"Persuading to surrender... Haha, I'm dreaming!"

Siwaro was furious, his fighting spirit surged, and he split the heads of the two soldiers directly, blood splattered, and it was extremely terrifying.

"Whoever dares to talk about surrender again will end up like this. Drag the bodies of these two traitors out and tell all the soldiers."

"Our main force didn't suffer much loss. We will reorganize the army and I will fight back with my own hands."

Everyone was stunned. It was obvious that the earl was really angry and even blinded by anger. All those who wanted to propose surrender in the tent shut up.

"What should I do? I want to surrender." Simon broke out in a cold sweat. "I should have known better than to come. Maple Leaf Territory is more comfortable."

"It's not the earl's fault that we can't surrender."

Florni knew clearly: "It's Field. If he can swallow the Bull Territory, he will definitely swallow the Maple Leaf Territory. Surrendering to Field is tantamount to seeking death."

"At this point, we can only fight hard first and find an opportunity to leave alone."

"Can we teleport away?" Simon couldn't wait any longer.

"Don't think about it. Field has the Chosen One. Once the teleportation anchor is blocked, we won't even have the chance to surrender."

Not long after.

The news that Swarro refused to surrender and killed two "traitors" reached Field's ears.

"Fortunately, my men were not sent." Field took a breath, "I didn't expect the earl's determination to be so firm."

"Since they have chosen to fight, they can forget about sleeping. Artillery team, bombard Bull Castle in turns!"
