Through the hazy morning mist, Tifeco Wimbledon could vaguely see the flags flying above the city.

He raised his viewing glass and tried to identify the house emblem on the flag.The sailing and crown patterns on the green base undoubtedly belong to his sister, Garcia Wimbledon.This is also the most numerous flags on the city.

The second most are white flags, tall towers on white cloth and poisonous snakes lingering on the tower, which are the emblems of the Barya family.

Haha, he sneered in his heart and defected to the Queen of Blu Water, but he still hung the flag with the tower pattern, which was simply shameless.

When I catch you, the traitor, I must feed you the flag and swallow it, Count Barya.

He thought to himself.

Finally, there is the red-bottomed tower lion and the equally shameless Shita family.

Tifeko had no expression on his face, but had already sentenced Elinsita to death in his heart, just like Tombarya.

Of course, you also need to eat the flag.

Sir Naimen, raise the flag of the Kingdom of Greycastle!Tifeco ordered.

Obey your order, Your Majesty.The Knight Linfeng responded, and then rode his horse toward the army behind him. The king has his life and set up a flag!

The new king turned around and saw flagpoles being raised, gray flags unfolding in the wind, black patterns appear solemn and majestic, huge towers and spears that slop on both sides and cross each other, this is the emblem of the King of Gray Castle.

Any traitor will be awarded a guilty plea under this banner.

Upon receiving news of the independence of Carya, he immediately took countermeasures to mobilize the troops from the Eastern Frontier and the royal capital to attack Eagle City.

Although he felt as if a tremendous wave was stirred up in his heart at that time, he remained calm on the surface, which enhanced a lot of confidence for the ministers who supported him.

It took nearly a month to summon the vassals and troops, a week to go to the eastern border, and another half a month to get here. Tifeko finally arrived at Eagle City when the sun set yesterday.

Fortunately, the kings were not affected much by the Demon Moon, and the road to the southern border would not be impossible to pass due to snow. Instead, the ground was frozen very strong due to the low temperature, and the team of carriages carrying grain was moving faster than those of the free people.

His team was very large, mainly including his own personal guards, the Knights of the Royal City and the troops of Francherit, the Duke of the East.

The three batches of people totaled as many as 6,000, of which there were as many as 1,000 well-trained and well-equipped knights.

According to reliable information, the troops in Cásia are less than 3,000, and most of them are free people from the Birch Water Port. It is okay to plunder unarmed farmers and merchants in normal times, and head-on battles cannot be the opponent of the Knights.

Sir Gaode, the Minister of Finance, once raised an objection. He believed that after the end of the Demon Month, farming would be carried out in all regions, and the recruitment of large troops would have an adverse impact on the harvest.

Therefore, Tifeko did not ask the vassals to draw serfs to fight, but instead summoned the free people in the territory, and they were responsible for the logistics transportation.

In this way, even if they fight in the southern border, they will not lose spring plowing.

No matter what, Tiffeko Wimbledon must not allow Garcia to stay in the southern border again.

Eagle City is not a strong city. Its predecessor was a market, just in the middle of the surrounding towns.

Later, with the development of commerce, it gradually evolved into a city, less than a hundred years.

In addition, in order to promote its pro-business image, previous lords did not build insurmountable high walls.

The three thousand civilian troops and the two earls' men combined are not very big troops. The earlier the countermeasures are taken, the greater the chance of victory.

If she gave her a breathing opportunity and let her completely integrate the entire southern territory, it would be very difficult for her to defeat her again.

After a night of rest, his men were already full and ready to go.

The sun gradually changed from orange to bright gold, the mist began to dissipate, and the earth-brown city wall also showed its true body in the eyes of the new king. It was not a real city wall at all. At best, it was just a slope of earth.

There are inclined surfaces from the bottom of the slope to the top of the slope. You can climb up with your hands and feet without any siege ladder.

There is a circle of log fences that are more than one person tall on the top of the slope, which can block refugees and robbers, but cannot block fully armed soldiers.

The people on the city wall stood sparsely, obviously not as if they were preparing to defend the city.

Your Majesty, the cavalry responsible for keeping a track of the south gate, reported that he had observed the actions of the large group of people.The Rinfeng Knight ran back to the new king and reported.

Tifeko handed the lookglass to Duke Fran and said in a relaxed tone: It seems she wants to run away.

The latter looked carefully for a while and nodded. Being able to make up his mind so quickly was a decisive choice.Eagle City is not suitable for defending the city. She will only be beaten by us in one fell swoop.The Duke laughed at this point, as you expected in the combat meeting last night, she didn't expect us to come so quickly.

We arrived at the right time, Tifeco said that even if she wanted to escape, she could not move at night.

You are right, marching at night is a taboo.If she really does that, we will defeat the team without taking the initiative.Once the people get separated at night, there is almost no possibility of gathering.In this way, even if she escapes back to Bishui Port, she will have no way to die.

Therefore, my dear sister must wait until dawn before she can command the army to retreat.Tifeko looked at the Eagle City with satisfaction, thinking that everything she did was not more than she expected.

Carsia was too greedy for the symbolic status of Eagle City, and stationing troops here to occupy the mansions guarded by the southern borders for all dynasties was indeed easier to conquer the hearts of southern nobles, but the benefits were also accompanied by the crisis.

He specially sent a feint army to the road slowly, and led the cavalry to the east first, without infantry, and all the dry food consumed were transported by horse and carriages.

After arriving in the eastern territory, the duke will supplement the remaining troops and circulate from the other side of the kingdom to Eagle City. The cavalry will block the road first to reduce the possibility of spies sending messages.

It is impossible for the army to leave at will. Jiasia only received news about Mo Ling Liangke two or three days ago. It began to retreat at dawn today, which was a hasty move.

It takes a day to walk from Eagle City to Qingquan Town. Her two legs can't run four legs anyway. As long as she gathers a thousand knights to catch up with her team and chases her head, her ridiculous coalition will naturally collapse.

Unfortunately, Crasia still may escape from her hands. If she leaves three thousand people, she will leave with her two riders, and it will not be difficult to return to Bishui Port alive.

He finally had to go to her lair to finally end the farce, he thought.

Your Majesty, let’s act separately according to the previous plan.Duke Fran said, are you waiting for me to attack the city, go through the city and chase the south gate, or go by the way?If you want to detour, you should take another step.

It would be better for me to go around from the southwest. Tifeco thought about it. It was inconvenient for the knight to move in a narrow street, and it was also possible for Cia to block the streets from being covered with debris and hinder the passage of the troops.Even if you walk around for an hour at night, it will not hinder the subsequent pursuit.

Then I'm leaving, Your Majesty.

Be careful, Tifeko reminded that Cácia would not leave any troops in the city, and there were probably many traps.Also beware of narrow streets and numerous private houses.Just ambush a group of dead soldiers and threaten your safety.

Hahaha, Duke Fran smiled heartily, please rest assured, when I followed your father to fight, I cut off hundreds of heads with my own hands, and I have never been injured.He waved his hand to the guards beside him, shouted the roar and attacked!

The army behind them surged, and several streams of people walked out of the formation. Under the leadership of several knights, they stepped forward towards Eagle City. They were free people as pioneers. Following them were mercenaries in armor, and they were also the main force of this siege.

The knights brought by the Duke have been concentrated under his command.

When the large army began to attack the city wall, Tifeko led the remaining knights and entourages to the southwest.
