Chapter 241: dispute

Through the telescope in his hand, Xiao Huangma clearly saw that the soldiers of the Turin Kingdom were pulling out of the camp at the moment.
"Retired? Really?" Xiao Huangmao was unbelievable.
Half a day ago, the people of the Turin Kingdom were still attacking the city of Radiance, and even once a soldier climbed up the wall through the ladder. Although they were successfully repelled, the Greek Empire paid a small price.
After most of the forages from the Turin Kingdom have been burned, everyone knows that the enemy will not be able to hold on for a long time, but it is unavoidable to see the Turin Kingdom retreating with his own eyes.
Luke happened to pass by Xiao Huangmao. After hearing his words, he snatched the telescope and ignored the shouting of the latter. Luke aimed at the camp of the Turin Kingdom and saw that the other party was preparing to retreat.
The movements of Luke and Xiao Huangmao were not small and attracted the attention of many people around them. Soon, the city walls where they were located gathered a lot of people.
"General, should we cause a little trouble for the people of the Turin kingdom?" A captain said.
I have to say that these days, people in the Turin Kingdom are crushed in the city to fight, even the most honest people, there will be anger, not to mention these soldiers.
Now, when I hear that those enemies who are arrogant and brave are about to run away, they can sit still.
In the opinion of the captain, the face-to-face battle is definitely not the upper hand, but if it creates a little trouble for the retreating enemy, they also have the means.
"Come down."
As soon as Luke spoke, the spirit of the school captain was shocked, thinking that his suggestions had been accepted.
"In the past few days, strengthen vigilance, those who leave the city without permission are engaged in military law!"
This order was like a basin of cold water, which poured a cold heart on the captain's heart. Luke looked at his expression, and shook his head secretly.
After this battle, the soldiers of the City of Radiance have made great progress in combat effectiveness, but after all, they are still too far away from the word
elite
, otherwise they will not float because the other party has just revealed their intention to retreat.
Go to the people of the Turin Kingdom?
Just kidding, they want you to go out and die.
Because of the small captain in front of him, Luke realized that there were no fewer people in the army who seemed to hold this idea. In order to prevent accidents, he even temporarily lived above the city wall.
The city's owner, Edric, soon received the news. This time, he stood on the rare side of Luke.
For Edric, it is first and foremost to keep the city of the glory and his own fiefdom. As for other things, he didn't take his mind at all.
Therefore, he also resolutely opposed the soldiers' pursuit.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the barracks outside the city were long gone.
Two hanging baskets were placed on the walls of the City of Radiance. A dozen scouts went to investigate as quickly as possible after landing. Before dark, they sent the specific situation to Luke and Edric. before.
"General Luke, great joy, the grandchildren of the Turin Kingdom have finally run away!" Nothing excites Edric more than this news.
The Turin Kingdom has retired, and even if they mean to make a comeback, it will take time to raise grain and transportation, plus the recent beauty of the heavens and the heavy snow, so according to Edric's estimation, the next time Turin Kingdom people come over It is estimated to be a month or two later!
Although it ’s not a month or two, it gave the city of respite a breath of time. Besides, this is a relatively bad situation. Does God know that people in the Turin Kingdom will completely retreat because of this defeat?
Edric laughed like a child of two hundred pounds.
"General Luke, since the people of the Kingdom of Turin have retired, can we reopen the city gate? You must know that the closure of the city for many days has caused the city of Tianhui to imagine the shortage of supplies."
Adding up to 100,000 people outside the city, the daily consumption of materials is no less than that of the Kingdom of Turin.
Perhaps because the city of Tianhui has been operating for many years, there is little savings in the city.
But we must know that the City of Radiance is not a war city after all, hundreds of miles away from the border, so they never thought that they would be involved in the war one day. Therefore, many important materials have no reserves, such as gauze. Many days ago, it was exhausted, and now it can only be supported by ordinary cloth.
Of course, Edric is eager to open the gates. The shortage of supplies is on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wants to regain the supreme command of the city of Tianhui.
Edric has never been a master of the city who likes decentralization. These days, the reason why he can tolerate Luke and silently take charge of logistical security behind the scenes, after all, it is not because of the threat of the Turin kingdom.
Now that the enemy has retired, Edric believes that it is time for the City of Radiance to settle anyway.
Once the city gate was opened, it signaled that the City of Radiance was temporarily lifted from alert, and its focus shifted from defense to internal politics.
The matter of the army is what Luke said, but if it is about governance, who can there be in the city of Radiance besides him, the Lord?
"No!"
The smile on Edric's face froze. Although he also thought that Luke would not easily delegate power, he had not thought that the other party would not give any face, and there was no room for negotiation in his tone.
"General Luke." Edric narrowed his smile, his tone indifferent: "The owner of the city thank you very much for your contribution to the City of Radiant these days, and also understand that without you, maybe God The city of Fai has been ravaged by the iron hoofs of the Kingdom of Turin. The owner of the city promises to report it to the Emperor in accordance with the facts and ask for your help. Now that the city is in flames, the owner feels that it is time to recuperate. "
The meaning of Edric's words is very clear ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It should be your credit. He will not grab it, and he can even take the initiative to ask the Emperor for credit, but the next thing, you Don't get involved.
"No!" Luke was unmoved at all, again rejecting Edric's proposal: "The city of Radiant continues to martial law, no one can leave the city without my order!"
"you!"
"Master City Lord!"
Seeing that Edric and Luke were about to turn their faces, Lax, who was watching, couldn't help but interject.
"Isn't there still spies in this city, but now it's better to find them? It's very easy to know that once the city gates are opened, they want to get out of the city."
Eridic heard it as if that was the case.
Tens of days of tension almost made him forget about the Maude Chamber of Commerce.
The Maude Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce colluded with the Kingdom of Turin, poisoned the cloth, and almost buried the whole situation. It was private and public, and there was no reason for Edric to let them go.
