Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 104 Choice
The night was dark and silent.

Suddenly, a shimmering light appeared in the wilderness twenty miles outside Baimu City. A huge army of thousands of people appeared in the wilderness, breaking the silence with the sound of horse hooves.

The armor gleamed coldly in the starlight, and the horse's hooves wrapped in thick cloth stepped on the weeds, leaving only a faint sound.

Leading the group was a strong young man in luxurious armor. He stopped with one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and the other on the reins.

Looking at the vague outline of the Baimu City tower in the distance, he raised his hand and whispered the order to set up camp.

"Lord Krag, shouldn't we attack Whitewood Castle under cover of darkness?"

The deputy commander beside him asked in confusion.

Now that Baihe City has been taken, the only force left in the entire Thorn Territory is Baimu City, which supports the Duke's eldest son.

A single tree cannot support the whole city. People in Baimu City should understand this. One day is enough for many different voices to appear in Baimu City.

If they now launch a surprise attack under the cover of night, the Baimu City, which has different opinions, will inevitably become disorganized and will be unable to exert even 50% of its full strength.

This was a good opportunity for them to take over Baimu City in one fell swoop. He didn't understand why Krag chose to stop and set up camp at this moment.

"Do you think those who took over Shiraki Castle in one day with only a few hundred men are a bunch of idiots?"

Krag looked at the deputy commander with cold eyes. His voice was very low, but it was like a piece of cold iron hitting the adjutant's heart.

"Don't think your enemies are too stupid. What you see as an opportunity might just be a trap they've set for you."

Krag withdrew his gaze from the deputy commander and looked again at the distant Whitewood City.

Baimucheng was able to see through the conspiracy of "Shirakawacheng asking for help" and become the last lone member. There must be an outstanding leader behind him.

With such a leader, there would be no possibility of disagreements or chaos in Shiraki City.

On the contrary, Baimu City, as the last remaining member, will become more unified, united and powerful.

Because the guards and forces loyal to the Duke's eldest son had no choice but to surrender to Baimu City, and they all surrendered to Baimu City with the mentality of fighting to the death.

Nowadays, there are nearly three thousand guards gathered in Baimu City, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

But it was not to the extent that Krag was afraid. He was absolutely sure that he could capture Baimu City by force.

However, doing so would cause great damage.

This is not what Krag wants to see, nor is it what Master Ian wants to see.

"Select some reliable people, change them into civilian clothes, and at daybreak, flee to Shiraki Castle."

"As ordered."

……

Whitewood City.

The morning light shines through the window lattice, reflecting on the pile of documents on the desk.

In front of the office, the orc girl who had not slept all night was still holding a feather pen in her hand, her heavy eyelids almost narrowed into slits.

bang bang.

There was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

Reggie quickly sat up straight and looked towards the door.

"Sister Reggie, breakfast is ready."

Renee opened the door and walked in.

"Ah."

Reggie smiled at Renee, and his tense body slowly relaxed.

"Sister Ruiji, didn't you get any rest last night?"

Renee walked to Reggie's side, looked at his tired face and somewhat listless spirit, and asked worriedly.

"I am fine."

Reggie smiled and shook his head.

"It's all my fault for being useless."

Renee lowered her head. She could see that Reggie was forcing himself, but she couldn't help.

"You've done a great job."

Reggie raised his hand and rubbed Renee's little head, comforting her.

Renee lowered her head and remained silent. *Thump thump*

At this time, the half-open door was knocked again.

Then White Bear Town Sheriff Thor pushed the door open and walked in.

"Ms. Reggie." Thor walked to the desk and bowed to Reggie.

"Sheriff Thor, what do you want to talk to me about?" Reggie asked.

"A group of people claiming to be guards from White Wind City came to the city gate and wanted to join us. Sheriff Singer asked me to ask you whether you want to accept them?" Thor reported.

White Wind City?
Reggie frowned slightly.

Isn’t that one of the main cities that surrendered to the Duke’s second son?
Why would they come to Baimu City for refuge?
Did they have internal disagreements?
Or... is surrendering to the enemy fake, and sneaking into Baimu City to be an insider is real?

"How many of them are there?" asked Raj.

"More than two hundred people." Thor replied.

so many people?

Reggie's frown deepened.

If there are only a few dozen people, you don't need to think too much about it. Just let them into the city first, control them and interrogate them.

But if more than 200 people were allowed into the city and got out of control, it would be enough to cause considerable chaos in Baimu City.

Reggie stood up and decided to go to the city gate to see the situation in person before making a decision.

As I took a step forward, my vision suddenly became blurry.

"Sister Reggie."

Renee quickly supported her shaking body.

"Ms. Reggie, why don't you take a rest first." Seeing this, Thor looked worried.

"I'm fine," Reggie shook his head, "I just sat there for too long."

She held onto the edge of the table to calm herself down, then left the office and walked towards the city gate.

On the wall of Baimu City, Sheriff Singh stared at a middle-aged man more than 50 meters in front of the city gate with a hawk-like gaze.

Dozens of meters behind the middle-aged man, there were more than two hundred soldiers lined up in neat rows.

They were all wearing civilian clothes, without armor, and few of them were holding weapons.

According to the middle-aged man, they were all forced to submit to the Duke's second son. When Baifeng City sent troops to attack Baihe City not long ago, they disguised themselves as civilians, broke away from the Duke's second son's control, and escaped all the way here.

"Lord Singh, Miss Regis is here."

The sentry's announcement interrupted his observation.

Singer turned around and looked at the orc girl climbing up the stone steps.

This young orc girl was forced to become the city lord by Mr. Thompson.

He was not optimistic at first, but after seeing his outstanding governance ability, he recognized the young city lord.

"How's it going?"

Reggie came to Singer's side, leaning on the battlement and looking down at the crowd in the distance.

Singh relayed the content of his negotiations with the middle-aged man to Reggie.

"I asked someone familiar with White Wind City to confirm. The man is called Amon, a captain of the White Wind City Security Team. When the two young masters fought last time, he was indeed on Master Ole's side."

There was not a single loophole in the other party's words.

After listening to this, Reggie was faced with another choice. The pressure in her heart gradually increased, and a thick layer of sweat seeped out from the back of her neck.

Judging from the current evidence, the other party's words are 80% credible, and these people are coming here sincerely to seek refuge.

But after the last time Baihe City asked for help, she was extremely alert to everything.

She was worried that this was another enemy conspiracy.

"What do you think?"

Raj was silent for a moment and asked Singh for his opinion.

"Now the four main cities are all controlled by the Duke's second son. We are weak and alone. If we want to compete with them, we must gather all the strength we can."

Singh analyzed calmly.
