From the moment he learned that Stanley was nearby, LAN had speculated a lot. He knew that he had been ambushed by Stanley in the wilderness, which meant that the battle had lost suspense.


    He could fight for the glory given to them by the Lord, but LANN didn''t intend to do so. He left half of Brasi''s soldiers to resist Stanley and fled with the rest.


    As he speculated, there was no suspense in the battle. Stanley wiped out 2000 enemy troops with minimal damage and captured Brasi alive.


    Gassack laughed when he learned of the victory. He ordered Stanley to continue the pursuit and completely defeat the divine punishment army. At the same time, he wrote to Wang Du to explain the cause and effect of time.


    He also issued conscription orders to the Lords around him. He wanted to see the attitude of the Lords again. If anyone wavered, he would directly annex their territory in the name of the king.


    Late at night, gassac received the news that Sorens had assembled an army and was heading for Niujiao town.


    Is he here to help? Sorens rejected the idea for the first time. According to his Sorens'' understanding, if he came to help, he would certainly send letters first, and then bring the army in a big way. Why is it so low-key to send people? Sending troops quietly like this must be to stab in the back.


    Gelsack''s conjecture is also very accurate. Sorens pays great attention to details, but he will make a decision according to the trend of the overall situation. After receiving the news of gelsack''s attack, he can see that the war has developed towards an irreversible trend. As for gelsack''s just victory, in his opinion, it is just a reflection of Stanley''s military talent.


    Although he saw through sorense''s intention, the current situation is really tricky. Stanley took nearly 90% of the soldiers in niuzhen, and the remaining 10% is not enough to compete with sorense, which forced gassack to immediately transfer back to Stanley, or lead the ancient god believers around him to a surprise attack.


    There are nearly 100 ancient god believers around gaisak, which seems to have good strength, but this raid is not easy to fight, and there are many ancient god believers around Sorens. Most of the ancient god believers of gassac are in the first level, while Sorens is surrounded by strong people in the second and third levels.


    Returning to Stanley seems to be the safest way, but it only solves the immediate urgent need. In the long run, if it does not bring a heavy blow to the divine Punisher, gaisack will soon fall into the continuous counterattack and siege of the divine Punisher.


    After thinking for a long time, gassack came up with a countermeasure. He wanted to paralyze Sorens by pretending to surrender, and then give the other party a fatal blow by surprise.


    But who will send the news of surrender? Sorense is not a fool. He must be on guard. The messenger must be able to win sorense''s trust.


    Gassack screened the people around him and finally found that there was only one suitable candidate.


    Baron Claude Sai did not follow Stanley on the ground of inconvenient movement. He was a subordinate of Sorens. He delivered the news and was able to win Sorens'' trust with the greatest probability.


    In the castle, gassack told Claude''s wishes in a euphemistic way. Gaisak has a good reputation. Everyone knows that he is a hard bone, and Sorens is not a fool. He can''t deceive him by directly saying surrender. So gaisak asked Claude to show kindness to Sorens in the name of peace, and paid Sorens a piece of land and 10000 gold coins in exchange for Sorens'' military support.


    Sometimes speaking vaguely is more effective than expressing it directly. Claude Sai was also a person who had seen the world and soon understood gassac''s hint.


    Sorens sent troops, and gassac was afraid and wanted to exchange land and money for Sorens'' forgiveness. Claude Sai was overjoyed at this job. Now the situation is in chaos. Since Sorens wants to turn over with gassack, he naturally has no reason to work for gassack. He sent Sorens good news and sold gassack a favor by the way. Neither side offended and just got away smoothly.


    He took his attendants on his way, but met Sorens''s messenger outside the city. He didn''t know the messenger, but when he heard the other party''s name, he realized that things were different from what he thought.


    The other party''s name is Amado. He is the former deacon of God Punisher in Niujiao town. He only used one meeting to successfully break through Claude''s psychological defense and let him tell the purpose of his trip face to face.


    "Baron, you may not have heard my name, but I''ve heard about you for a long time. Your family has a long history in Tieshan town and maintains a mysterious connection with resentment haze valley. Most importantly, your relationship with Viscount Sorens is not harmonious, and something unpleasant happened not long ago. In this case, if you send another false message To the Viscount, I''m afraid you''ll be killed. "


    Claude Sai said in amazement, "you said the news of peace was false?"


    Amador said with a smile: "I have been in Tieshan town for decades and have a very thorough understanding of gassac. He would rather break to pieces than bow his head in front of Sorens. Your news must be false. If Viscount Sorens is really fooled, gassac will soon take his head."


    Claude Sai refused to believe it at first, but under Amado''s repeated threats and hints, he gradually wavered.


    "What should I do?" he chose to ask Amado for help.


    Amado said with a smile, "find a way to lead gesack out of the castle, and leave the rest to me."


    Claude Sai thought for a long time, but he didn''t think of a good way: "I''m not his subordinate, and he doesn''t have a reason to believe me. Moreover, I''ve left Niujiao town. Now I''m sure to incur doubt if I return rashly. It''s hard to protect myself, how can I lead him out of the castle?"


    Amado whispered, "you are a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time. You should know what is crucial to the victory of the war."


    Claude Sai thought for a long time and was suddenly surprised: "do you want to lead him out or force him out?"


    Amado said with a smile, "is there any difference? As long as you leave the castle, he will die. You don''t need to worry about anything."


    Late at night, gaisak is still sorting out letters to local lords. He should accurately grasp each wording, not to make local lords feel too heavy coercion, but also to make them feel enough awe.


    A family minister hurried to gassac and brought shocking news: "Sir, our granary has been attacked."


    "Who did it?" gassack was very surprised. He made enough defense in the granary. He really couldn''t think of anyone who would have such courage and means.


    "It''s Baron claudesai. He''s attacking the granary with his soldiers!"


    "How did he come back? Did..." gassack patted his forehead and realized the problem.


    The previous idea was a little too simple. Claude Sai was sorense''s man after all. He was likely to see through his plan and take risks for sorense. Once the food was destroyed, Niujiao town would be destroyed in half. When sorense took action, he would be safe.


    "I immediately took people to the granary and gave orders to kill Claudius himself or his soldiers."
