The strongest lord system

Chapter 434: An Empty City?

A day later, the troops of the Osim Empire who came from the nearest place had surrounded Doroman City, but most of these were the private soldiers of the lords who were very close to the territory.

However, they don't dare to act rashly now, because they must know that this is the army that captured Doroman City.Now they are occupying the city and defending, which means they have an advantage.

And now that the regular army of the empire has not yet arrived, which lord is willing to let his hard-earned army be consumed in siege battles.

So at this time here is in a stalemate.

"Look at the soldiers on the wall. They've been standing there all morning." A soldier pointed to the figure on the wall in the distance.

"They are afraid of our attack. But it is only a matter of time now. Once our army arrives, how can they resist our attack." A soldier next to him said with a smile.

"That's right, we just need to follow behind, maybe we can get some credit."

Although it is spring now, the sun at noon today is surprisingly fierce.

However, under the sun, a cavalry of thousands of people appeared here.

Several lords who had been chatting together saw the man on the horse and immediately stood up and ran over.

"General Liandel. You are on the front line, why are you here?" Several lords said in surprise.

This middle-aged man is named Leander.He is a general without a title in the Osim Empire. He has no territory and no private soldiers of his own.But almost no one in the empire dared to show the slightest disrespect to this man.Don't look at him now as if he is 40 or [-] years old. In fact, he is already over half a century old.

As for why this man has such prestige, of course it has a lot to do with his strength.

In fact, although Trina is known as the Goddess of War of the Osim Empire, the big reason may be because of her youth, and another reason is that she is Leander's apprentice.

Leander spent at least 50 years of his life in his 40s fighting for the Osim Empire, saving the empire several times in times of crisis.

The previous emperor of the Osim Empire wanted to grant him the greatest title, the greatest territory, and even the greatest right next to him.

But this man refused directly at that time, he didn't want those things, all he wanted was to fight, to fight for his country.

So this man without any status has a status second only to the emperor in the Osim Empire.

"Why are you besieging and not attacking here?" Leander said, frowning.

"That, that. We want to launch the attack after the army has arrived, but we have surrounded the place now. You can see that the enemy soldiers on the city walls are waiting in full formation." A lord said in a low voice.

Leander frowned, and said in a deep voice, "How many troops do you have?"

"Uh, ten thousand." Several lords looked at each other and said softly.

"Ten thousand!" Liandel suddenly shouted loudly: "The army of the Ziying Empire inside is only 2000 people. You people have an army of [-] and dare not attack. Are you embarrassing us Osim Empire men? !"

"No, no. We just want to be on the safe side."

Leander drew out the sword at his waist and pointed to the far city wall: "That is the territory of our Osim Empire, and the people of our Osim Empire live in it, but they are now under the threat of the enemy. You You should know what happens to those civilians every time you delay here!"

Several lords did not speak. Of course they knew what those troops would do after occupying the enemy's city territory. Why hadn't they done it before?

Do ** looting, set fire to plunder.

Almost all of these things have become the rights of the victors, and those who suffer are of course those civilians who have no resistance.

However, in the eyes of these lords, the civilians are more important than the soldiers they raise.

Oh, this is already obvious.

Seeing that the few lords did not speak, although Leander was very angry, he still understood a lot of truths in his heart. Some things cannot be explained, and this is where he is helpless.

"Okay. Now I want to take over the command of all the troops here, do you have any objections?" Leander said in a deep voice.

Several lords could only lower their heads and say, "No."

Leander waved the iron sword in his hand and said: "The infantry is now ready to attack with the siege equipment, and the archers will follow up and launch a strafing attack on the city wall after they are within range."

"Yes."

With his order, the army that had been besieging but not attacking began to move slowly.

300 meters!
200 meters!
100 meters!

At this moment, a puzzled expression appeared on Leander's face.

Because there was no movement on the city wall at this time, and the figures of those soldiers did not move at all on the city wall.

With the shooting of the archers who entered the attack range later, there was still no movement on the city wall.

"Strange, what's going on, why don't they fight back."

"Is there some trick they have?"

"What kind of trick is this? Our soldiers climbed up the city wall and those people are not our opponents because of the superiority in numbers."

The lords also felt a strange atmosphere at this time.

And a few minutes later, through the ladder, the soldiers in front had already run to the top of the city wall.

But there was no movement of fighting.

After that, a few soldiers on the other side of the city wall moved some black things and ran towards Liandel's position.

"General, general. There is no enemy on the city wall." The soldier who ran over said pantingly.

"There are no enemies, how is it possible? Just now we saw a figure, how could there be no enemies." Several lords said quickly.

"But we saw these on the city wall." A few soldiers moved the black things one by one in front of everyone.

Leander frowned. He sneered at the lord next to him and said, "These are the enemies you mentioned. These are the enemy forces that made you spend half a day besieging and not attacking. Idiots."

After Leander finished speaking, he drove the horses and led his team towards Doroman City.

Several lords glanced at each other, they swallowed their saliva, they really didn't know what to say at this moment.

I saw that those black things were dummies covered with armor one by one, which looked like a human figure, and there were even arrow feathers stuck on their bodies.

The gate of Doroman City was opened by soldiers from the inside, and Leander, who walked into the city, found that he did not see the scene of the messy street he expected.

At this time, the city seemed to be a deserted street, very quiet.

"Go and find the defenders of Doroman City, as well as civilians."

"Yes."

There are no blood-stained streets, no burned houses, no painful women with torn clothes beside the streets, no dead bodies, and relatives who are suffering beside the dead bodies.

Was this place really occupied by the enemy?
At this moment, this is a question that appeared in Leander's mind.

When the soldiers searched the houses, civilians were driven out one by one.

Leander looked suspiciously at the civilians in front of him who were obviously at a loss.

"Why are you hiding at home and not coming out? Was this place occupied by the army of the Ziying Empire before? Where are the defenders and lords here?"

Several civilians raised their heads cautiously, and one of the bolder men said in a low voice: "Master General, we were indeed captured by a group of troops from nowhere before. Our Lord City Master and those soldiers were imprisoned." In the dungeon."

"Those enemies didn't hurt you? Why didn't you come out." Leander said with a frown.

"They didn't hurt us. They also took out food from the warehouse in the city and distributed it to every household. They said that during this period of time, we were not allowed to go out or go to the streets. Anyone who was found would be executed. Several times before A daring person came out, but they were all caught, and none of them came back, they should have been killed. So now we don't care about any movement outside, we dare not come out." The man said.

"Then they didn't bully you women and rob you of your belongings?" Leander said in disbelief.

"No, except for the first search to see if there are soldiers in our house, they have never disturbed our lives since then. How should I say them?" The man said cautiously: "They are very kind."

"How can you say that the enemy is kind, I think you are suspected of betraying our empire." The soldier next to him scolded loudly.

"Shut up." Leander yelled at his soldiers, and then he fell silent.

Is there really an army that won't do anything bad after occupying a city?

Even the church-founded country on the mainland can't guarantee this.

"General, we found the city lord here, some soldiers, and some civilians in the dungeon at the city lord's mansion." Several soldiers came out with a few disheveled people.

"Aren't you an axe? Didn't you get caught and killed by those soldiers because you went to the street without authorization? Why are you still alive?" The man who spoke just now pointed to one of the few people.

Ax shook his head and said, "They didn't kill me, they just locked me up."

"What about the others?"

"It's just locked up."

Leander looked at these people, and his mind fell into contemplation, what kind of army is that, why they do this, is there any purpose.
