Chapter 98

The guard next to him said: "Master Knight, we can go out and drive them away."

"No." Claude shook his head. To be honest, he was a little scared of being beaten. The risk of going out to fight in the city was too great. What if he was defeated again.

But Claude definitely can't say that, I saw him smiling slightly, and said indifferently: "I laugh at this Baron Shire's stupidity and ignorance. Cold Winter Fortress is hundreds of miles away from Sunset Fortress. The supply line is so long. He transported ten rations to It would be nice to have a portion left here. Moreover, their Winter Fortress is so poor that they have to buy food from us. Now they dare to besiege the city. Do they have so much food? Can they afford to consume it with us?

We just need to defend the city. In a few days, their food will be exhausted. At that time, there will be no need to fight, and the victory will be ours. "

Afterwards, Claude walked down the city wall confidently and returned to his manor, but the first thing he did when he returned to the manor was to write a letter to the infantry commander Giacomo, ordering him to speed up the march, day and night, Quickly arrive at Sunset Fortress.

After writing the letter, Claude became worried. He was not worried about the safety of Sunset Fortress, because the walls of Sunset Fortress were strong and there were enough food reserves. Would Baron Shire want to take it down with more than 1000 people? Idiots talk about dreams.Even if the orcs invaded the south dozens of times, the number of times they broke through the Sunset Fortress was only a few times, and they were all piled up with human lives.

Claude's worries are precisely because the Sunset Fortress is too strong. Baron Shire only has more than 1000 people. What if he thinks he can't fight down and runs away with his troops?
When the trees were cut down and the Knights were defeated, would Baron Silver Fox doubt his ability? Based on what he knew about Baron Silver Fox, he definitely would.Maybe he won't replace him right away, but once he feels that he is not capable enough to be a knight commander, it will be a matter of time before he is replaced.

Claude couldn't let things develop into this situation, but he couldn't hide the defeat. After all, the two hundred knights were gone, and he couldn't change them out of thin air.

The most important thing now is to quickly defeat Baron Shire and cover up his defeat.Even if you are undefeated, at least you have to give yourself a chance to perform. For example, now that Baron Charles is approaching the city, everyone knows that he will not be able to defeat him, and he will have to evacuate sooner or later. However, there is still a difference between voluntary evacuation and being forced by him, Claude. of.

But it depends on when the infantry commander Giacomo arrives at the Fortress of the Sunset. The cavalry alone will definitely not be able to defeat Baron Shire. Claude has personally proved it once, but with the addition of [-] infantry, then It's easy, and the combination of walking and riding can give full play to the strength of the Silver Fox Knights.

The western front of the Alps.

In the early morning, the sun drilled out of the clouds, and the golden light refracted from the white clouds. The whole grassland was dyed with a faint golden light. The autumn wind clings to the ground and blows wantonly in the flat wilderness. This is a bright day. sunny morning.

step, step, step
Several rows of tauren columns made the sound of orderly steps, standing in tight formation on the Korimia prairie.Behind these heroic tauren warriors are four or five thousand tauren herdsmen in charge of reclamation.

This is a sacrifice to the beast god. Human soldiers do not need to participate. They hold spears and watch coldly from a distance. One is to be responsible for vigilance, and the other is to quickly maintain order if something unexpected happens to the sacrifice.

However, judging from the current rule of Shire over the Tauren team, there is almost no possibility of accidents in this sacrifice.

"The priest is here."

The tauren Henry standing at the forefront shouted, and then the tauren warriors stepped forward and shouted, and then thousands of tauren herdsmen.Wave after wave of sound undulated, slapping over like a stormy sea.

Thousands of people, the number of people in an elementary school in the previous life, can't even stand on the playground.But when they gather together and stand in front of you, united as one, you will find that they have great power.

On weekdays, the tauren's loyalty to the beast god may not be very high, but when they participate in the sacrifice, they will burst out with great enthusiasm.

Charles walked up to the high platform amidst the overwhelming sound waves. This is a wooden high platform, which is very simple.

When the orcs hold sacrifices, they often use bluestones to pile up altars, and they also need to use slaves as sacrifices. It seems that only in this way can the sacrifices be carried out, and the beast gods can cast admiring eyes.

But is this really the case?Is it necessary to have cumbersome and complicated steps, cruel and bloody sacrifices, and luxurious altars to hold a sacrifice?
Charles didn't know, but this sacrifice was a good opportunity to try.

When the sacrifice began, Charles' head inevitably ached again.

"Save...Save...His...Great...Beast...God."

One after another, murmurs exploded in Charles' mind, constantly impacting his spirit.

That illusory black shadow suddenly appeared, it appeared out of thin air, and immediately stuck in front of Charles, leaned close to his ear, and whispered: "God's Chosen, become the envoy of the Beast God, and you will get unlimited rewards." Glory above."

"Brother, can you put it another way? I have heard this sentence no less than ten times." Charles clasped his staff tightly in both hands, making the appearance of a pious sacrifice. Only he could see this illusory shadow, at least for now. As far as I know, Charles doesn't want to be a psychopath in the eyes of others, so he just needs to deal with this shadow in a low voice while performing sacrifices.

The tauren saw the priest of Shire holding up his staff with both hands, and his mouth moved slightly, as if he was praising the great beast god.

"Believe in Him, you will easily condense the seeds of life, you can break through the second and third levels, and your lifespan can even reach a thousand years."

"How high are you?"

"..."

The black shadow was finally quiet for a while, and Charles could concentrate on performing the sacrifice. With the experience of holding the sacrifice for the first time and the mass base, it was much easier this time.

But it's a pity that this illusory shadow is like a chatterbox. After a few seconds of silence, he started talking again and kept repeating those few words. He really wanted to try the benefits of believing in the beast god.

But belief is not something that Charles can believe immediately after he says he believes it, just like he took the exam to worship Buddha before, no matter how pious he is, deep down in his heart he should believe it or not.

Having entered into this state of disbelief, it is very difficult for him to return to the state of ignorance.

When the sacrificial ceremony came to an end, Shire was like an old farmer who started harvesting in autumn. The light of faith emerged from the head of each tauren and gathered into Shire's staff.

Faith seems to be a slowly regenerating energy, and every sacrifice is like a harvest.When the sacrificial ceremony was held last time, those tauren had never been harvested leeks, which were very fertile, but now, they have been harvested by Shire, naturally much less than last time.
