The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

"What?! Already lost?!"

After the cavalry regiment returned to the army, they immediately reported to Riegl and Klein that Port Foster had fallen.

Rigel was struck hard and stood stiff on his horse, while Klein next to him was slightly better off, because when he set out from Port Brulo, he had already prepared himself for the fall of Port Foster.

In fact, the cavalry that rushed to Port Foster at full speed did not actually reach the port. They just encountered a group of defeated soldiers fleeing the port on the way.

When the defeated soldiers saw that Port Foster was about to fall completely, they fled in panic. The only place they could go to now was Port Brulo, which had sufficient troops, so they met the cavalry on the road.

After the news that Port Foster had fallen spread among the army, everyone felt unprecedented pressure. As a support force, their original mission was to help the defenders of Port Foster to guard the port. That was why everyone was trying their best to get on with their journey. However, after working so hard for three hours on this cold night, they learned that the port had fallen. The heavy blow made it almost impossible for them to move their heavy legs.

The same was true for Klein. He was deeply depressed and had begun to hesitate about whether to continue to go to Port Foster.

In contrast to his indecision, after digesting the news that Port Foster had fallen, Riegl's chest was filled with anger.

"We can't let Foster Harbor be occupied by the Yan people! We must speed up our advance! Get to the port as soon as possible and take it back!"

While riding on his horse, he punched the air hard and roared angrily.

As soon as he finished speaking, Klein at the side said hesitantly:

"If the port is lost, then with the combat power of our two armies, we may not be able to recapture the port. If we continue to rush to the port, we may also fall there."

"We may wait for the news of the port's fall to be sent back to the port of Bruno before taking the next step. Before that, we should wait here for orders."

"There's a high probability that General Bernhardt will send more reinforcements."

After he finished speaking, Liger shouted angrily: "How long will it take? Six hours or eight hours? Ten hours?!"

"After such a long time, the Yan people have already set up tight defenses in Foster Port! If we go there at that time, it will only make us more passive!"

Klein said solemnly, “But this is less risky.”

"If we are no match for the enemy by the time we get there, then we have done nothing and have caused meaningless casualties!"

After these words, Liger's anger eased a little. He took a deep breath, but still shook his head and said:

"No, you just heard it. They said that the enemy paid a heavy price to attack Foster Port, and the troops that landed afterwards were not too many. After fighting for such a long time, even if the enemy took Foster Port, they would have been exhausted. We should counterattack while they are not ready and retake Foster Port..."

Before he could finish his words, Klein interrupted:

"You can't think like that. Although they have fought a high-intensity landing battle, the weapons they have are incomparable to ours. We rushed over tonight and everyone is also exhausted. I don't think there is much difference between us and them."

Hearing this, Rigel turned his head and looked at the army that had stagnated. Since most of them were infantry, and each of them carried a lot of combat equipment, after three hours of arduous march in the cold night, almost everyone's face showed a look of fatigue.

Fighting in such cold weather would greatly extend the time it takes to reload a musket, not to mention killing the enemy.

But Liger still said unwillingly: "But the Macedonian military factory is very close to the port. If an accident happens there, it will be extremely bad."

Klein nodded and said, "I know."

"But the Yan people landed at around four in the morning. They didn't have the energy to go deeper inland. At this time, they could only set up defenses in Foster Harbor to provide safety conditions for the landing of other warships."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Geer asked anxiously: "But what if?"

"If they destroy the Macedonian arms factory, it will be a disaster for us."

"No! They are also flesh and blood, and they need to rest. It is already difficult for them to occupy Foster Harbor. They will never move inland in such a short time."

"Trust me, you won't be wrong."

"We must never go to the port again. We must wait until we have enough troops to attack the port in one fell swoop and take it back!" Klein said in a deep voice.

Riegl was in a dilemma.

After the cavalry brought back the news, messengers had already rushed back to Port Brulo, but even so, it would take at least two hours for them to deliver the information to Port Brulo, and it would take even longer for reinforcements to arrive. However, the longer Port Foster was occupied, the more disadvantageous it would be for their side.

Seeing that he remained silent and was still struggling, Klein said angrily:

"Wake up! Liger, don't make wrong judgments in your haste!"

"The most important thing we should do right now is to stay where we are! Even if Port Foster falls for just one day, we can still take it back."

"The premise is that we have enough troops to drive them out!"

Rigel seemed to be convinced and nodded.

But the next moment, he said, "We can't wait here for orders. Staying here is useless. Let's go to the Macedonian military factory."

"The port will be given to the Yan people for now, but the Macedonian military factory must not be lost. We will guard it to prevent any accidents."

Klein's face froze. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't come up with any reason to refute.

After all, although the Macedonian military factory is not as important as Foster Port, as one of the largest military factories in the country, once it is destroyed, all the troops will be affected.

Moreover, the most likely possibility is that the Yan people will stay in Port Foster, so taking a detour to the Macedonian military factory at this time is not only very risky, but can also prevent the situation from further deteriorating.

Thinking of this, Klein nodded slowly and said:

"Okay, then we'll go to the Macedonian Arsenal and set up a defense there."

The two finally reached a consensus and immediately led the army to take a detour to the Macedonian military factory, but the journey was also long and it would take them at least another five or six hours to get there.

At the same time, the messenger was rushing to send the message back to Port Brulo.

On the sea near Port Brulo, the information sent from Port Foster reached the Yan Army fleet early on.

Sea routes are always much faster than land routes.
