In the Gobi Desert beyond the border between the Bashalan Empire and Adak, the revolutionary army and the Desert Gold Corps have joined forces...
Although the total number of people was less than 15,000, it was still shocking to look down from a thousand meters in the air, especially the Golden Group! It was the first time Sean saw warriors covered in golden armor, and almost every one of them wore a golden mask.
“How many people do you think there are?”
"Looking at their formation, there are probably more than 10,000 people, but definitely not as many as ours." Joseph said as he looked at the formation in the distance.
Neither Oro City nor Tacoma City, which ruled this area in the past, had probably ever seen such a large battle. Although each city had a large number of garrisons, they mostly dealt with small matters and occasionally suppressed bandits and robbers. Even this only chance to go to the northern front was stopped by Sean.
Therefore, even the most experienced garrison troops had never participated in a real war, let alone a siege...
Sean noticed that the soldiers around him were in a somewhat uncertain state of mind.
Even the garrison sergeant major, Joseph, swallowed his saliva several times...
Turning his gaze back from the owl in the sky, Sean observed the situation in the opposing camp. Surprisingly, the other side carried almost no supplies. Did they think it would be easy to break through their city walls?
"I don't see any supplies in their team." Sean said to the people around him.
"I once heard that the Desert Knights have a habit of looting. Since it's not easy to carry supplies in the desert, they start robbing before they even reach a place during their marches... The Golden Group only cares about collecting money and doing things. There's no such thing as faith for them." Karyana said from the other side.
Sean brought all the high-ranking people around him to the top of the outermost fortifications...
Almost 80% of the forces that Oro City could muster were blocked at the border line, including the defenses of the valley corridors and the arrow towers and defense walls on the mountains. The total number of troops added up to about 20,000.
In fact, there are not many more of them than enemies. The only thing that can make people feel at ease is probably the protection of high walls.
"Then can we try to bribe the Golden Group with money?" At this time, Barnil expressed his thoughts.
"What are you talking about! The enemy has already reached our city wall. Do we still have to spend money to fight them? You don't know how much money they will ask for. Moreover, the northern front keeps asking us to send supplies over. What will Oro City eat then?" Several witches with wings of covering the sky said dissatisfiedly.
"I'm just expressing my opinion. I'm not saying you have to pay me. Besides, with so many of us here, how could we possibly be afraid of them..."
"Yes, Lord Earl."
Several people threw the key of the topic back to Sean.
Sean is the ruler of the entire Oro region. As long as he persists in fighting in his heart, others will follow suit. Therefore, no matter how strong the enemy is, he must see victory in front of him.
In fact, on the day Sean discovered the enemy's presence, he had already sent a message asking for help to the empire.
If the enemy appears in the south of the Bashalan Empire, it will not just be a battle between one person and himself. Once any problem occurs in Oro City, it is likely to cause a huge shake in the balance of power on the northern front.
So the Empire should send someone over...
At least the longer you delay, the more advantageous it will be for you, so the enemy should choose to fight quickly and decisively, and it would be best if they could break through your defense line within a few days.
"It's probably too late to ask for peace now. They didn't bring much supplies with them, and they just want to end the war quickly... If we can hold out for a month, they'll have no way to stop us."
"Your Excellency is right. We will not fight. We are not afraid of any tricks they play." Joseph also echoed.
At this moment, bursts of roaring sounds came from the Gobi Desert in the distance.
It sounded like war drums, but the opposing team didn't have any drums... Instead, they used a method of roaring and beating the ground in unison from the middle and back.
"All artillery pieces are ready. Open fire once the enemy is within range." Sean suddenly gave the order, and the soldiers around him were ready to fire at any time.
In the distance, the roars and the sounds of weapons hitting the ground gradually became more and more uniform, and changes gradually appeared in the enemy's formation...
A path was made in the center, and then two people walked side by side and slowly pushed out something tall.
"What is that?"
It was quite far away, and from where Sean and the others were, they could only see something like a bamboo pole standing there, with a black spot on it.
"It seems the Golden Company pulled out something, a flag?"
Everyone couldn't see clearly, but in fact, the opposite side had flags on both sides, so there was no need to bring out a big one separately.
And Sean once again used the owl in the sky to control himself to see...
That was not a flag at all. It was just a corpse tied between two horses, dried to death by the sun. It was completely black, but from the armor he wore, it could be seen that he was a soldier from the city of Oro.
"That is..."
The target gradually approached, and the people around him gradually saw what was being pushed forward.
That's the missing scout. We haven't heard from each other for two days, and now we're in this state.
"Damn desert people! They don't even take us seriously..." Joseph angrily hammered the stone wall in front of him. This scout was a skilled recruit sent out by himself, but he didn't expect that he would be taken out by the enemy like this!
The soldiers around him were also very surprised when they heard the result...
"We killed four of them, and now they are retaliating against us in the same way... Ha, you want to pay money to reconcile? Absolutely not. Gunners, get ready!" Sean gave the order again, and all the surrounding towers began to aim in one direction.
