"What?"

"How is this possible?"

Karu and Castro stood up almost at the same time, with a look of surprise and disbelief on their faces.

Slowly, a feeling called panic occupied Karu's heart.

"Those Ming soldiers...the Ming soldiers came for me, they came to avenge the Ming merchants."

Kalu murmured for a few words and suddenly walked forward a few steps and grabbed Castro's hand and begged: "Col. Castro, the Ming people are coming in full force. You must help me. I alone cannot stop those Ming troops!"

Castro shook Karu's hand away in disgust and said lightly: "Your Highness Prince Karu, we will never be stingy with helping friends, so please rest assured that we will keep our promises.

But the premise is that you must be successful. For those cowards who give up on themselves, they will not be able to save them even if God comes."

Looking at Castrona's cold gaze, Karu's heart was cold. He naturally understood the other party's words. Even if the Spaniards were willing to help him, he would have to show his own strength, otherwise they would not help a waste in vain.

At this point, Karu knew that he had no way out and could only follow the Spanish to the point of getting dark.

Taking a deep breath, Karu shouted to the outside, "Come on, call all the troops immediately!"

“Woo woo woo woo…”

Sharp conch sounded, and amid the chaos, a soldier holding a weapon began to assemble in the city.

Castro brought two officers to the outside of the palace and happened to see a soldier from Luzon from all directions. Most of these soldiers were wearing light green shorts and gray shorts, and straw sandals on their feet. If they weren't holding various weapons in their hands, these soldiers would be no different from ordinary Luzon people.

What... armor?

Don't joke, except for the elite army affiliated to the king, only the guards directly under Prince Karu have more than 100 sets, and ordinary soldiers don't even think about it.

An officer with the rank of captain wearing the rank of Captain walked to Castro and frowned and said, "Col. These soldiers from Luzon are almost no different from ordinary civilians. Are you sure you rely on these people to destroy the army of the Ming Dynasty? You have heard just now that everyone comes is all cavalry!"

"No……"

Castro shook his head.

"I don't need them to destroy the Ming army. Our mission is to observe the Ming army at close range, evaluate their combat effectiveness, and report everything we see to President Fidel."

"You mean letting them fight with the Ming army, regardless of their life or death?" The captain's face showed a look of surprise. His colonel had just promised to fulfill his promise.

Castro glanced at the young captain beside him: "Mitchell, you are still too young. Remember that keeping your promise is a virtue, but this virtue can only be used on civilized people. Talking about virtue to uncivilized barbarians will bring ridicule, do you understand?"

The captain opened his mouth to say something, but then closed his mouth. The colonel said right. Committing to these uncivilized natives was like making promises with cattle and sheep, and there was no meaning except to attract ridicule.

It took Prince Karu a full half an hour to summon his army. Looking at the dense army standing in front of the palace, Prince Karu, who was originally a little guilty, suddenly felt that the courage that had disappeared had returned to him.

He turned around and said to Castro who was standing behind him: "Col. Castro, I have summoned all the troops. Although I dare not say that I can defeat the Ming army, I think it should be no big problem to stop them outside the walls of Apari."

Castro's lips twitched, and he said with a smile on his face: "I also look forward to the surprise of His Highness the Prince."

"You will definitely see it. This time I will lead the team to defend the city myself. Just wait for my good news."

Prince Karu said confidently, and then led his army to start to set up defenses on the city wall.

In order to defend Apari, Prince Karu also ordered every household to send a strong laborer to the city wall to assist in defense. Anyone who dares not go will be punished for being punished for collusion with the enemy.

When Wu Keshan led the Mongolian cavalry to Apari in the afternoon, he saw a soldier from Luzon who had already stood on the city wall. These soldiers were holding long bows or holding spears, steel knives and other weapons, and were nervously looking at Wu Keshan and his group who had just arrived.

Slowly, three thousand Mongolian cavalry began to gather outside the west gate of Apari, and a cavalry began to form a formation and stood five hundred meters away from the city wall.

"Bang..."

With a crisp sound, Beninho's back had another bright red mark.

A soldier holding a whip shouted at Beninho: "Hurry up, you lazy guy... Work quickly. If you didn't put all these stones on the city wall before dark, you would have no food to eat at night!"

Looking at the vicious soldier, Beninho felt a little aggrieved. He worked hard to escape to Apari, originally hoping to escape. It would be even better if Prince Karu could give him some rewards for his report.

But fate always likes to tease people. After reporting the news, not only did they not receive the reward, but they were driven to the city wall and defended the city with these soldiers, which also made Beninho cry without tears.

Looking at the Ming cavalry gathering more and more outside the city, Beninho felt a moment of despair. Could it be that he could not escape the pursuit of the Ming people?

In a corner of the city wall, Captain Mitchell frowned and said, "Mr. Colonel, the situation seems to be wrong. According to the information we have obtained, this Ming army, who came from afar, belonged to a Ming country called Jiangning Hou.

This army is well-equipped and has heavy weapons and muskets including twenty-four pound artillery, but the army outside the city is all holding cold weapons. Moreover, the armor style on them is very different from the armor of the Ming army we already know. Is the information we get wrong?"

Castro was also a little confused. He shook his head and said, "It's too early to say this now. Let's observe it for a while. Remember, if the fight starts later, if the situation is wrong, we must find a way to leave here this morning and report these happenings to Governor Fidel."

"I understand!" Mitchell and the officer next to him nodded at the same time.
