After dinner, when Count Harun had properly dealt with his troops' evening affairs, the two men sat in the same camp and seriously discussed their future plans.
Thinking of De Lassel's chatterbox nature, his endless nonsense could be said to be the ceiling in the chat world. Thinking of this, the young dragon Ryan hurriedly shouted.
“Ouch!”
[You guys chat about your own things, I don’t want to listen! I’m going to rest with my mother, Safiya, Safiya! ]
"Hey, go, go, my lovely Princess Safiya, please take this little brat to rest."
At this moment, De Lassel had no intention of paying attention to the young dragon Ryan. His thoughts were all on Count Harlan.
After the man and the dragon left, De La Serre was the first to speak: "It is meaningless to send the battle report back now. By the time the battle report arrives, the best fighter planes will be gone."
"Yes, that's right. Besides, the king may not receive the battle report even if we send it back. He may be on his way. If we want to capture Duckburg, we have to do it now! Speed is of the essence in war!"
"Count Harlan, if you want to capture Duckburg and occupy this place, I can help you. All the territory belongs to you. I don't want an inch of it."
Hearing this, Count Harlan smiled. He felt that it made sense. He had thought about this issue in advance, so he continued:
"Don't you think that even if you capture this place and the king gives you this castle as a reward, you won't be able to defend it? It's already hard enough for you to manage Uxhall."
"You're right. I might lose both places in the end. So I decided to help you take them down! In this way, Duckburg will be to my east, and your base, Earl Harlan's Castle, will be to my west. It will be very convenient for me to support you, and I can take care of both ends."
"Okay, then after we take it, the spoils and prisoners will be yours! De Lassel, I can't let you work in vain!" Count Haren said, patting his shoulder.
"No, this is all yours. Next time I'm in trouble, I believe you will help me."
In fact, De La Serre is not a good person either, he also has his own little calculations in mind.
Nowadays, Uxhall's geographical location cannot be said to be very good. It is too close to the enemy Khergit Khanate and can easily become a target of public criticism.
Although teammates in the kingdom will help you defend your territory, frequent battles and frequent repairs of towns will also have an impact on economic development.
If the Kingdom of Swadia could capture Dackburg and Shiko Village, it would be like building the front line of defense for De Lassel.
In this way, the enemy's revenge can be directed towards the new masters of Dakeburg and Xico Village.
However, the experienced and calm Count Harun had already thought of all this and saw through De Lassel's little thoughts.
But he was very powerful. He had accumulated more than 300 soldiers in his base, Count Harlan Castle, and it was almost overcrowded.
This directly led to the fact that the money he earned was not enough to support the army during peacetime.
If Fort Duck and the village of Xico could be annexed, it would not only ease the problem of overcrowding of troops, but would also bring in more tax collection.
What is more important is this world, this continent of Calradia.
The scope of the territory, the strength of the army, and the accumulation of personal wealth are three things that symbolize everything to a man.
The army and wealth can only be obtained continuously through territory, which shows the importance of territory.
"Very good. Thank you, Drassel. We will clean up tomorrow and launch a surprise attack on Duckburg tomorrow night. What do you say?"
"Everything is up to you. I will cooperate with you, Count Harun." The two of them had their own ulterior motives, but they could satisfy their own interests at the same time.
So under these coincidences, there must be an arrangement in the dark, and the two of them will have a close and seamless cooperation.
"But there is one more thing I have to say, De La Serre. You are so lucky! You have the help of a dragon and such a beautiful female archer."
"Hahahahahaha, this is a very long story. Let me tell you the story..."
At this time, the system is online.
[Stop chatting, you're such a chatterbox! It's late, go to bed first, or I'll have a breakdown. I'm already very tired after working all day.]
De La Serre was quite helpless and responded: Okay, okay, sleep, sleep, sleep, just sleep...
"Well, Count Harlan, this story is very long. Let's talk about it next time. I have something else to do."
"No problem. Have a good sleep tonight, De Lassel. I'm going to rest too." Count Harlan patted his shoulder and turned to leave.
The night passed peacefully, and it was late the next night when the two men prepared to launch a surprise attack on Duckburg.
At this time, there were still more than 100 enemy troops in Duckburg, but the successive defeats had caused the enemy's morale to be low.
There were only 120 people left in Count Harun's army. What was even more terrifying was that he also had three catapults and a battering ram.
Count Harun knew very well that the Baron's troops were composed of a bunch of mismatched mercenaries, and there was not a single capable and battle-hardened Swadian Iron Knight among the native troops.
The only people who could be used were the Baron himself and the little girl who was good at using the bow and arrow.
So together, they make a total of 122 people...
Thinking he had victory secured, Count Harun was preparing to launch the battering ram and catapult when something surprising happened!
Suddenly, terrifying wolf howls were heard from Duck Castle. Along with the howls, the torches on the city walls were gradually lit...
Then a special sound of gongs and drums rang out. De La Ser saw a group of soldiers riding on prairie jackals on the city wall!
At this time, even the experienced Earl Harlan showed a frightened expression, and he shouted hurriedly:
"Push the siege equipment back, everyone retreat! De Lacel, go!"
Before De Lassel could come to his senses, he was grabbed by his teammate Count Harun and evacuated together.
The group retreated to thirty miles outside Duckburg and could no longer hear the wolf howling. Only then did Earl Harlan gradually calm down.
At this moment, De La Serre felt confused and asked, "What happened?"
Count Harlan wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke slowly:
"Yes... She is the Valkyrie of the Steppe. She is the daughter of Saiga Khan, the king of the Khergit Khanate."
"So what? Even if she can tame the prairie jackals, we don't need to be so afraid of her. The prairie jackals are not very powerful. I have killed many of them myself."
Count Harlan looked helpless and shook his head:
"You think I haven't killed a prairie jackal!? You haven't fought her, so you don't know. She is called the Prairie Valkyrie, and the King of the Prairie Jackals bows down to her."
