"What?!!"
Karlyana didn't quite understand what Sean said.
"You mean the enemy will attack tonight? But haven't they arrived yet?" This is what makes people confused. If the enemy is already stationed outside the high wall, they may attack at any time. At present, no trace of the enemy has been found. The scouts sent out have not returned yet. Apart from seeing the Desert Gold Group, no other enemies have been found.
However, the Desert Golden Group has always had rebels dozens of miles away from the border, and no one knows what they are doing!
According to Joseph's understanding of the border, the mercenaries in the desert would not wander around aimlessly. Perhaps they were hired by the opposite city, Bahama. However, the cost of hiring the Golden Group was very high, so it was unknown why they wanted to hire the Golden Group.
"You've been acting strange lately," he said, looking at Sean who was leaning on a chair in the middle of the tent.
After waking up, Karyana was no longer sleepy.
The tea on the table had gone mostly cold, and the other witches were busy reheating the kettle. The door of the tent was still half-open. Normally, other soldiers would not come in rashly at this time unless there was something important to report.
"Sean, you've been acting strangely lately. What you say and do is always inexplicable." Seeing that he was holding the table and gasping for breath, Karlyana said it again.
But Sean still didn't answer, but just glanced at her subconsciously.
"Did something happen?"
"Your mental state has been bad recently. Sometimes you are in a daze for a long time. Is it because of the sequelae of the last battle in the forest?" Karyana tried to ask.
He remained silent, but this time he let out a long sigh and tried to appear more energetic.
Since gaining power from the Lord of Time, Sean has indeed become a little different. Everything around him would occasionally slow down, and in his dreams he could see the unknown truths of the past, as if he were an omniscient prophet. Situations that he had not known before were now slowly understood.
For this reason, Sean wanted to know more of the truth, and he always couldn't help falling into dreams.
"I'm fine, I've just been too busy lately. But what I said just now was not a joke. You should go and ask the soldiers to be prepared now, especially in the next few nights or maybe even today," Sean emphasized again.
At this moment, soldiers were vaguely seen running towards the door, more than one.
Door Open
Joseph hurried into the tent with a few soldiers, and the witches around him noticed the expression on his face.
"what happen?"
"Sir, one of the scouts we sent out hasn't returned!"
Joseph's words made Sean's head buzz. Wasn't that the same as what he saw in his dream?
"Is it a young man?"
"Yes, he was originally one of the scouts. According to the discipline of the scouts, he had to come back on time every day within a certain range. If he encountered any trouble, he had to let go of the carrier eagle and let it come back immediately. But nothing has happened so far. I'm worried that he has met with an accident. Sir, do you know that scout?" Joseph said this before realizing that Sean seemed to have described the other person's appearance first.
"It doesn't matter whether I know him or not, Joseph. Now send troops to patrol the front-line sentry towers day and night. They must carry the signal guns that Claude brought. If there is any emergency, they must send a signal."
"Yes, sir," Joseph answered hurriedly, but asked curiously.
"Does your Lordship believe that the enemy has already begun to act?"
Sean turned his head and looked at the other person seriously.
"Whether the enemy starts to act or not, we must be prepared. It is obvious that they are approaching us. You go and find Barnier and the others." No matter what Sean said, he was the biggest leader in the local area. Even if they didn't understand it in their hearts, they would do what he said.
"Yes, sir. I will go and call them back now. Do you want to send them outside the arrow tower?"
Sean had been a mercenary for a while, although not for long, but he still understood the fighting style of the mercenaries in the southern area. They were more suitable for individual combat, so it was best to put them together in a four-man team like Barnil. It was very suitable to send them out.
But right now, we don’t know the enemy’s combat effectiveness, and sending them out may cause danger!
The face with the golden mask comes back to my mind
"If they are not needed for now, let them stand guard with the team in the camp."
Joseph nodded and left the tent with the order, leaving behind a group of witches who looked at him with surprised eyes.
"Let's prepare now. It's best to use magic to set traps. We don't know how strong the enemy is yet, so we must at least come up with the best defensive measures."
If they were to fight a war of attrition, Sean felt that with Oro City's economic strength, it should be possible to last half a year without any problem. However, he did not want to lose the natural barrier of the border wall. Otherwise, the Tacoma ruins behind him would be an empty city, and the enemy would probably use it as a stronghold to form a confrontation with Oro City.
Of course, it would be much safer in the city, but the townspeople in the surrounding areas would likely be harassed endlessly, and the order that they had worked so hard to establish would collapse in an instant, so this high wall had to be defended at all costs.
After arranging everything, Sean had dinner with the soldiers as usual. However, after dinner, he did not return to the tent on time but walked to the top of the high wall alone.
Looking at the dense fences and artillery holes under my feet, there are many arrow towers and sentries in the outer areas, and the roadblocks have just been set up.
