The lighthouse was stolen after the enemy landed, and the beacon signal lasted only less than two hours before it was extinguished. However, the enemy's fleet was too large. Vales believed that Humphreys and the others would not really break in so confusedly, and also trusted that Catrick would not forget their existence just because he did not give any instructions.

It was already the fifth day of being surrounded. Although the city's daily necessities had accumulated enough to maintain everyone's demand for half a year due to Humphreys' mission, the number of enemies exceeding the two legions was unexpected, but they didn't understand what they were waiting for.

Most of the villagers outside the city hid in the city when they remembered the alarm. Unfortunately, their homes and a large amount of property were not protected by the city walls. They were completely destroyed by the soldiers of the island alliance that was better than the golden jackal beasts. Some villagers who did not choose the city walls and hid in nearby mountains and forests were tortured to death by them after being exposed, and all they could do was watch and watch.

It is a bit ironic that this is the only thing that is "good", because after seeing the scene through the telescope, the city lord Earl Pratt no longer entangled himself in opening the city gate and surrendered to the legion with the flag of the Great Prince's territory outside the north gate.

Wake up at the table at the temporary office center of the city gate, and it has become a habit to use a telescope to observe the movements of the enemy. This time, if the enemy still does not look like siege, Vales will prepare to go home and take a shower and add some sleep in the bed for the past few days. Otherwise, his own will not know whether he can last until the reinforcements arrive. At the same time, the number of enemies also made him worry about the safety of the reinforcements. After all, there are small towns and several small lords nearby, and they may not even be able to get half of the army out.

The enemy of the East Gate, supported by the fleet, was as relaxed as usual. Without any suspicious moves, there was no need to look at the south gate, which was the same battalion as them. Vales put down his telescope, breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the north gate. However, before he could take ten steps, he heard a sound that terrified him. Then he received a panic messenger's military report before the arrival of the voice: the enemy has siege the city, the enemy at the North Gate has begun to siege the city, more than 60 crossbows and catapults, and ~ two magic crystal cannons.

———

Outside the north gate, a middle-aged man wearing the armor of the commander of the Finesh Legion was chatting happily with the envoy of the Island Alliance around him, but when he listened carefully, he found that what he said was flattering nonsense, which was not exactly what a commander with military power should say; then when the envoy received the benefits and left happily, the false smile on his face had not faded, but his temperament was no longer the same.

"General~"

"Go and order the battalions to only conduct surface feint attacks and not to attack the city one step. Then let the guys who demolish the wall take their time and make sure to level the city for me."

"yes."

After a messenger was recruited and issued a puzzling order, the middle-aged man's face showed a hint of yin owl. He chose to garrison the safest position behind the Diana River, in order not to meet Finecius's army. The allies' tricks were expected before coming here, and they had reached an agreement with His Highness the Great Prince, that is, they could not take it, nor could they fall into the hands of another ally, the Kaisting Empire.

But this has greatly relieved the pressure on Bryon to some extent.

When Vales arrived at the north gate to command the battle himself, Solop, who had received the latest report on the battle situation, frowned. Under the confused eyes of the generals, he left a vicious sentence, "Angus, you are cruel enough", and ordered the fleet to use local materials to help destroy the city with long-range attacks. No one was allowed to attack privately, and then drove everyone away and enjoyed the sunshine and the sea with his accompanying wives, concubines and maids.

———

When the person who delivered the information met with Humphreys and others, it was noon the third day after the siege began. With the vision of the left eye, it was far away. Lu Chen saw the city of Bryon like a ruin. Although he did not regard him as his own city, his heart still tightened.

Then when he boarded the largest battleship seized, which was renamed as the flagship, Lu Chen heard even worse news: on the night after the siege began, the Count Pratt, the lord of Bryon, who could not withstand the enemy's attack, regardless of the safety of the whole city, he captured Vales and presented it to Angus's men, Palmer, the former commander of the 23rd Legion of the Kingdom, in exchange for the safety of himself and his family.

"The situation is true? Why hasn't Bryon been occupied yet?" Lu Chen asked in disbelief, not even caring about hiding his vision. Fortunately, no one would care about this at this moment.

"I was the one who led people to sneak into the enemy camp to inquire. Many soldiers were complaining because they could not enter the city to plunder. It should be true. As for the reason, I don't know." Mark replied with a remorse, not only because of Vales's situation, but also because of his own uselessness at critical moments.

"Have you found out where he was locked up?" Seeing Mark shook his head, Lu Chen continued to ask, "Where is Craig, haven't informed him of the situation here?"

"We went to his place when we came back, and we also solved a fleet of the Island Alliance. Now, Lord Craig should be in the northern waters to prevent the southern attack of the Imperial Fleet. Lord Duke, should I send someone to retrieve Mrs. Evelyn? The last time I heard the news was that they were in Canterrera City, not far from here." After Humphreys answered, he couldn't help asking again.

"No, the opponent is too many, the ammunition supply of the Flying Whale cannot keep up, and the time goes by, the people in the city will definitely not be able to wait for that time... I will rescue Vales tonight. No matter what the enemy's purpose is, according to this trend, Bryon will become a complete ruin the day after tomorrow." Looking at the various marks on the map, Lu Chen chose to retreat westward, because it was the direction that was most likely to meet his own two legions.

But after rescuing Vales and taking him to the city of Bryon, how to contact Humphreys, let them cooperate with the entire city's quiet breakthrough, which made Lu Chen feel in trouble. After all, how long it will take to rescue Vales and how long it will take for the people in the city to prepare for a breakthrough, there is no line. Moreover, even if Phoebe is willing to help, he will not have the time to calm down and use his mind to transmit the voice for thousands of miles.

The sun was tilting west quickly, and there was no sign of stopping the sound of the enemy's long-range weapons. The tall city wall was already ruined. Looking at the shaking city of Bryon, Lu Chen seemed to hear people's wailing, but he reluctantly secretly took out the crystal that could communicate with the god of knowledge.
