East, Boulder fortress.


    Wearing armor and clutching his hands on the hard wall crevasse, Damon Bilson raised his head and stared at the vast land outside the valley.


    There, the continuous wild people''s tents are like a huge black rag, completely covering the original color of the earth. The cooking smoke rising from the camp dyed the sky blue.


    He had never seen such a scene. The small-scale invasion of wild people more than ten years ago could not be compared with the current situation.


    He knows that the number of wild people is at least more than 200000, and this group of cheap guys are still gathering.


    Come on, come on! War is about to break out! Damon Bilson clenched his fist. Even at such a distance, he could smell the smoky stench on the wild people! Come on, come on! He thought, if you have the ability, try it. You cheap and vulgar maggots, either you die or I die.


    He is ready to fight to the death!


    "Damon." a call came from behind, and the sound of armor and footsteps stopped behind him.


    Don''t look back, Damon Bilson also knew that it was his brother Lowell, and from his low address, he knew that there would be no good news.


    Looking at his brother with a heavy face, Lowell stepped forward and whispered, "more than thirty mercenaries have left. It seems that they will all escape without waiting for the wild people to attack."


    "Oh!" Dimon Bilson chuckled, "do a group of damn guys think we will be defeated? They even didn''t see the shadow of the wild people''s army and ran away with their tails. Didn''t you pay them gold coins?"


    After measuring his body and seeing Lowell shaking his head, Damon Bilson said coldly, "just be a beast and run away. It''s just a waste of food and wine. A group of things without eggs are really unreliable!"


    This is not the first batch of mercenaries who fled without pay. The gathering of the wild people''s army, just those continuous tents, made these guys lose their courage to fight.


    Lowell nodded in silence. Although the escape of mercenaries has limited impact on the upcoming war, the practices of these guys greatly reduce people''s confidence in the war, and the clouds over the fortress seem to be a little heavier.


    Looking at the dark wilderness camp in the distance, Lowell hesitated and asked, "do you really think... We can beat these guys?"


    At the thought of the scene of wild people pouring in like rats, Lowell unconsciously felt powerless. Although they were well prepared and Damon kept declaring to the soldiers that victory belonged to them, the vassal and the soldiers were still sad, and everyone''s heart was like a huge stone.


    Looking at his brother, Damon Bilson said, "as a member of the Bilson family, how can you ask such a stupid question."


    Stupid? Indeed, as a member of the Bilson family, you shouldn''t ask such a question. Lowell thought, looking a little guilty.


    Looking at his brother, Damon Bilson said, "we have enough weapons, enough food, enough preparation, and most importantly, we have strong walls! What about the wild people? They are good for nothing except a little more. Even if they learn to make riprap machines and siege vehicles, the roads have been damaged and blocked by us."


    Looking at his guilty looking brother, Damon Bilson slowed down: "Go and tell Antos that they will convey my words to all the soldiers. The food of the wild people is limited. We only need to hold on for half a month, and they will eat up and store food. In one month, they will kill horses, cattle and sheep, and in two months, they will run out of ammunition and food. For us, victory is not to kill all these cheap guys. We just need to guard the city wall, and they will die in two or three months It will naturally retreat. At that time, it is winter on the grassland, and the wild people will be destroyed! "


    Lowell was shocked in his heart and looked up at his brother: "why didn''t you explain these situations earlier? Those mercenaries may not escape, and the soldiers will have more confidence in the war."


    "Fool!" Damon Bilson scolded, "we should seize the opportunity to boost morale! If we had explained all the situation a month ago, the depression in front of the station would only make the United military heart disappear!"


    During this time, every few days, Damon Bilson would find some good news to boost his morale.


    The preparation of food, the expansion of soldiers, the arrival of materials on the river, sufficient weapons and arrows, etc. these ordinary preparations for the war have become the soldiers'' confidence in the war under Damon Bilson''s preaching again and again.


    Lowell nodded after being taught. He had no time to take care of these small problems after days of pre war preparation.


    Turning to hold the city wall and looking at the messy boulders in the valley, Lowell turned his eyes to the camp of the wild people in the distance: "if you give us more time and attack them several times, we will win more time and slow down their attack. When we eat up all the cattle, sheep and horses, these guys may eat people!"


    "No need," said Damon Bilson. "When these guys are starving, the stacked bodies should be as high as the wall. Then we will retreat immediately and give them some food! The longer the war lasts, the better it will be for us."


    According to the plan, when evacuating the fortress, they will leave some highly toxic food for the wild people.


    ……


    Early in the morning, glanburg.


    The sky outside the window was still a little gray, and Bertha Bilson had awakened from her dream. The room was dark, and the maid was probably still asleep.


    She twisted her body, grabbed the soft velvet quilt, put her hands on her chest, lay on her side, and looked out of the window.


    She had a beautiful dream.


    She dreamed that she had become a bride. She was sitting in a luxurious carriage led by six white horses with golden and red velvet drapes. The streets were wide, the knight''s armor was shining, the tall war horses were covered with gold and silver, and the sides were full of celebrating people. They shouted her name, saying that she was the most beautiful bride, and the air was full of floating petals.


    She entered the magnificent castle. The hall was brightly lit and the ground was covered with petals. She stepped on the petals and stood on both sides with nobles. They smiled at her and bowed to her. Everyone''s eyes fell on her.


    A tall and handsome man came to her, wearing a crown, a golden armor, a cloak as bright as snow, a handsome face as sharp as a sword, but his eyes were full of tenderness.


    "Beautiful bazaar, here you are." the man knelt in front of her and presented the flowers in his hand.


    "Would you like to be my wife?" the man asked.


    She held flowers and tears of joy in her eyes. Then they hugged each other. Under the witness of all the nobles in the Kingdom, they kissed each other with their lips.
