July 18, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

19:27 pm.

Within the Luolin Empire, on the south bank of the Shunau River, in Laer City, in Eugene's office.

Ou Ren feels very irritable now.

A few hours ago, after reading the military message from Oede, Ou Ren began to feel very irritable.

Thanks to this irritable mood, his efficiency in handling military affairs is horribly low.

He has been holding this military letter in his hand for nearly half an hour. In the past, it would have taken only 10 minutes to handle this military letter. However, because he was too irritable, his office efficiency seriously declined.

It took more than half an hour, but I still couldn't handle the military affairs in front of me.

After Ou Ren sighed softly, he put down the military affairs in his hands, then took the sword aside, hung it on his left waist, and strode out of the office.

He planned to go for a walk outside to relax and relieve the irritability in his heart.

Ou Ren himself couldn't figure out where the irritability in his heart came from.

Although the Britannian army, which had completely wiped out Simeon's army, seemed to be heading south, Eugene was not worried at all that the Britannian army would come over.

Because according to the intelligence sent by Oede, the Britannian army that defeated Simeon's army seemed to be only a cavalry force with a total strength of about 4,000 to 6,000.

Eugene is convinced

As long as the commander of this Britannia army still has some brains, he will never attack him!

He now holds an army of 5,000 and is stationed in Leer City.

Although Lyle City is just an extremely small city, it is still a city.

Therefore, Ou Ren can be said to have the advantage of geographical convenience.

If the Britannia army intends to attack him, it means that they will attack the city of Lyell.

To attack a city by force, the strength of the attacking side must be at least five times that of the defending side.

In other words, if the Britannian army planned to attack him, it would need at least 25,000 troops.

The total strength of this Britannia army, which seems to be heading south and whose specific movements are unknown, is only 4,000 to 6,000, which is the same number of troops as him, and this Britannia army is all cavalry!

No one with any brain would abuse the cavalry so much and let the expensive cavalry dismount to attack the city. Even if one's own cavalry is far stronger than the defenders, no one would do this, let alone on both sides.

The strength of the troops is about the same.

Therefore, Eugene was sure that this unknown Britannian army would never attack him.

Therefore, he is still very safe now. He just needs to continue to guard the surrounding areas of Lyall City as usual.

However, even though Ou Ren told himself over and over again in his heart, "I am safe here and the Britannia army will not attack here", Ou Ren still felt very irritable in his heart.

So why am I so irritable... I always have an ominous premonition in my heart...

While retaining this question, Eugene quickly walked out of his office and climbed onto the west wall of Lyle City.

Although the soldiers standing on guard on the west wall of Lyle City did not know Eugene, they could not recognize that the young man who suddenly climbed up the city wall was the current highest officer and person in charge of Lyle City.

But after seeing the extraordinary long sword hanging on Ou Ren's left waist, he immediately recognized that this young man must be a high-ranking general, so he immediately raised his hand and walked towards Ou Ren.

Imperial military salute.

Eugene waved his hand to indicate that they didn't need to carry his luggage with him, and then quickly walked to the city wall, holding his hands on the city wall, looking at the scenery in the distance outside the city.

It is already the evening of July 18th. Because it is summer now, the days are longer, so even though it is past 19 o'clock, the sun has not completely set and is still some distance from the horizon.

The sun, which has not completely set below the horizon, is still working hard to spray out sunlight.

The afterglow of the setting sun, the sky dyed dark yellow by it, the birds flying lazily in the sky, the shadows of various things on the ground stretched by the last sunlight of the day... all of these are composed together.

A beautiful dusk scene.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Ou Ren, who never had a rich expression, couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth slightly out of joy.

The irritability in my heart subsided unconsciously.

Just as Eugene continued to be intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in front of him, he suddenly found that there were some strange things in his sight.

On the distant skyline, some strange black lines suddenly appeared.

what is that?

Ou Ren asked in his mind, while squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.

Not only did strange things suddenly appear within the field of vision, but also some strange sounds were heard in the ears.

It sounded like thunder, and it felt like the sound was getting louder and louder.

The next moment after Eugène looked intently at the horizon far ahead, a cloud of dust and smoke gradually emerged from the point where the sky and the earth met, and soon covered half of the sky.

And the strange thing that suddenly appeared on the skyline slowly revealed its figure.

It was a thin black line, and making up this thin black line were cavalrymen one after another, all covered in black armor.

After seeing this group of cavalry suddenly appearing in the west of Leer City and rushing towards Leer City at high speed, Eugene immediately felt that the hairs all over his body stood up in fear.

The eyes that were originally half-closed suddenly widened due to excessive shock.

However, Ou Ren is also a leader among the younger generation of Luolin Empire's military who has experienced many battles.

So after a brief shock, Ou Ren quickly reacted.

"The enemy is attacking!! Pull up the north gate and south gate!!!"

Eugene shouted at the top of his lungs at the soldiers not far from him.

"Yes Yes!"

Several soldiers who were not far away from Ou Ren were frightened by Ou Ren's roar, but they reacted quickly. After shouting in agreement, they divided into two groups and walked quickly towards the north.

Go to the main gate and south gate.

After watching these soldiers carry out his military orders, Eugene turned back and stared at the huge cavalry that had completely "surgeed" out of the skyline, with a total strength of about 4,000 to 6,000.

"Is the Britannia army serious..." Eugene gritted his teeth and said, "Is the commander of this Britannia army a madman?! He really intends to use his troops to equal the defenders.

Are the cavalry coming to attack the city?!"

The cavalry of the Britannian Army was very fast, but the defenders of Lyell City were faster.

The defenders of Lisle City successfully closed the North Gate and the South Gate, the only two exits of Lisle City, before the Britannian Army's cavalry rushed to the city.

However, after the cavalry team of the Britannia Army rushed to the gate of Leer City, which had closed the city gate, they immediately divided into four small troops.

These four small troops rushed to the four walls of Leer City respectively.

…

At this time, under the west wall of Leer City.

"General."

The commander of the 4th Army respectfully reported to Deng Jiaer.

"The entire army has been successfully divided into 4 troops, each guarding the 4 walls of Lyle City! No one will be allowed to get out of Lyle City! Lyle City has now become an isolated city! The people inside

There is absolutely no way to go out and ask for reinforcements!"

"Yes. Very good." Deng Jiaer nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, Deng Jia'er." Alan, who was next to Deng Jia'er, yawned loudly, "We have arrived at Lyle City now, how do you plan to use the cavalry with a total force that is smaller than the city defenders?

Is there a team coming to attack the city?"

"Well, if you follow my plan, it may take a few days to capture Lair City." Deng Jiaer showed a mysterious smile, "Anyway, Alan, you will know by tonight
