A lonely person will feel more lonely after being missed.

Compared with the fierce battles between the east and south walls, the battle of the Assassian Storm and the Thunder Corps of Uppadama in the west and north walls seems to be too much to deal with; the two Royal Legions belong to The archers and instrument soldiers fired waves of arrows and heavy crossbow arrows at the walls, but the real siege did not start.
After advancing their array to a position only 300 meters away from the city wall, the soldiers of the Storm and Thunder Legions stopped their advancement and did not move forward; the defending soldiers on the city wall obviously had a lot of The equipment and weapons that attacked more than 300 meters away, but they dare not use them easily, because the equipment and weapons of the Royal Army outside the city are more and better than them!
On the west and north walls, where the defending soldiers used equipment weapons to attack the infantry of the Royal Legion outside the city that had not yet launched the attack, the heavy equipment troops of the Royal Legion that were ready to launch would concentrate their firepower on the wall.
The heavy equipment unit belonging to the Royal Legion uses all the heavy-duty catapults; unlike the maneuverable catapults, the catapults that can only be split and transported not only have a longer range, but also can project heavy weapons. Thousand pounds of giant stone bombs!
Although this huge stone bomb with a weight of over a catty cannot be directly destroyed by the magically fortified city wall of Calais, it can cause damage to the city wall of Calais that is difficult to repair within a short period of time; it is within the range of the giant stone bomb attack The city walls, the defenders on the city walls, and the equipment and weapons they use will all be devastated.
After several painful lessons, the defenders on the west and north walls no longer used their equipment and weapons, attacking the infantry of the Royal Legion that were already within their range but had not yet launched an attack; such a scene According to the agents sent by Martin to the west and north walls, it was evidence that Bennett and Albert frowned.
The and fierce battle lasted for an entire morning. The Yulin and Blaze Corps, which first entered the battle, stormed for more than four hours with extremely strong tenacity, which made the defenders defending the east and south walls pay extremely. A heavy price.
The Storm Corps and the Thunder Corps, which symbolically launched two offensives, did not cause any substantial casualties to the defenders on the west and north walls; if they were not the archers and equipment troops belonging to the two Royal Legions Awesome, the defenders on the walls of the west and north, the number of soldiers killed or injured in the morning may not even have five thousand people.
It was also subject to the onslaught of the enemy Royal Army. The number of soldiers killed in the morning on the east and south walls exceeded 30,000, and the number of casualties was countless. The total number of casualties on the west and north walls was only 5,000. Such a weird situation is not normal.
Not to mention that the current Prince William has already reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, even if he is still in the sky, such a thing can't help but he is not suspicious; plus his top confidant Martin is helping, Prince William's suspicion is even more serious Too.
This afternoon’s battle is exactly a copy of the morning battle. The offensives of the Yulin Army and the Blaze Army are still violent, and the casualties of the defenders on the east and south walls are even more heavy. It’s not an exaggeration to describe it.
In the morning, the archer and equipment troops were used to suppress the storm and legions of the defenders of the city wall. In the afternoon, there was no symbolic attack at all, let alone remote suppression. The enemy outside the city rarely launched an attack. The defenders and soldiers on the walls of course will not proactively provoke the enemy troops who are only outside the city but have no actual offensive actions.
When the dusk was approaching, the Yulin and Fire Legions who failed to break through the city walls in a day withdrew their troops and withdrew to the camp. Instead, the Storm and Thunder Legions did not attack much, and they did not withdraw their troops even at night.
The Storm Corps and the Thunder Corps, which did not withdraw their troops, built their temporary camps just 500 meters away from the city walls. They were completely outside the appearance of the defenders outside the city walls. Look at Marshal Bennett All have headaches.
Marshal Bennett is not a fool, how could he not know that he fell into the plot of a peaceful rebel army outside the city; from the letter of persuasion in the middle of the night to the three-day difference of attack, and finally the city tonight Outside camping, he certainly understands why this series of actions is intended.
The point of the problem is that in the face of this conspiracy on the bright side, Marshal Bennett has no choice but to pray that Prince William will not be hit; in fact, at this time, Marshal Bennett, his arms still There was a letter of persuasion from Marshal Albert to him.
This letter of persuasion is exactly the same as that received by Marshal Bennett three nights ago, but he found it in his bedroom last night; If it is a tool for conspiracy, then this letter of persuasion is a genuine letter of persuasion, even if the content of the two letters of persuasion is the same, but the meaning they represent is completely different.
Marshal Bennett, who didn’t have much loyalty to Prince William, would fight for Prince William more because of the obedience of the military to obey orders than other things; and because of this, Prince William would be right He has many doubts.
On this night, Marshal Bennett just sent his lieutenant general to the royal palace to report today’s war situation to Prince William. He himself stayed on the east wall without even returning to the mansion; obviously, he felt the crisis personally. He also has to think about his future.
"General Bennett is really amused. He stayed here in the middle of the night and didn't sleep. He actually appreciated the moon."
Looking at the man in black who suddenly appeared on his side, there was not much surprise on Marshal Bennett’s face. He just slowly withdrew his gaze from the sky and said in a deep voice: "On my own site , I can't use the word'hide'."
"Under the world is the king's land, the shore of the earth is the king's minister." Although the black man's face was covered with a black veil, but the pride in his tone could be heard by anyone, Marshal Bennett heard I wanted to say something, but still didn't speak after opening my mouth.
"General Bennett, Marshal Albert and Marshal Rundstad all appreciate your abilities. As long as you are willing to chaos anyway, the two marshals promised to plead for you under your majesty, not only to relieve you of all your guilt, but also to let you Continue to serve in the military."
"I know the wise man of His Majesty Frederick and the name of the former, and I also believe in the promises of the two marshals." Bennett's tone was slightly sharper: "It's just that the two marshals don't think they are using them now. Is the means too mean?"
"Despicable?" The man in black suddenly laughed: "Your excellency, your words are also the most funny jokes I have heard this year."
