Unknown Knight

The capture of the city gate was very smooth. The captain guarding the gate saw Katia coming with a flag and a team of about 100 guards. Although he was on high alert, he did not close the city gate. It seemed that he was still dealing with them as usual, as if they came to the city lord's mansion to cause trouble.

When the team approached, the captain hurriedly stepped forward to salute and tried to dissuade Katia with a flattering smile. He did not refuse her from entering the city, but only asked her not to bring so many armed men into the city.

Suddenly, a group of fully armed men rushed out from a yard near the city gate. Without wasting any time, they quickly took control of the city gate, and then, together with the guards brought by Lady Katia, they attacked from the front and back, surrounded the city gate team, and easily disarmed them.

It was not until then that the captain guarding the gate seemed to understand what was going on. He was so scared that he dared not resist. He just kept saying things like "We are all family. We can talk it out nicely. Don't come into the city to cause trouble."

Katia simply ignored the words of the gatekeeper captain, but did not make things difficult for the soldiers guarding the city gate. Once she captured Kudan City, with the blessing of her legitimate identity, these soldiers would have to recognize her as their master and become her people. So she just had these gatekeepers under guard and then entered the city as the hostess.

The rest of Katia's troops were lying in ambush in the dense woods near the city gate. When they saw that the city gate had been controlled, they rushed over together, following the vanguard and entered the city in a mighty manner.

So many troops poured into the city at once that the shops on both sides of the main road were frightened and closed their doors one after another. In an instant, there was no one left on the street.

Katia was very proud of this. In the past, when she came to the city to cause trouble with a dozen guards, the residents in the city did not avoid her in fear like today. Instead, they stood far away and watched her joke with the mentality of a spectator.

Now that she has come with a large army, none of these untouchables dare to laugh at her. They can only hide behind the door and tremble in fear. The city of Kudan will finally return to the rule of the Voldrat family.

For this reason, Katia, who already regarded herself as the hostess, specially called Rolf and asked him to take people to restrain the soldiers entering the city and prohibit them from looting in the city, as if the owner of Kudan City had changed at this moment.

The army followed the main road and soon arrived at the innermost city lord's mansion. The defenders here had already received the news and had closed the mansion door. The city wall and the arrow tower next to it were also full of soldiers holding bows and arrows.

Seeing this, Katia did not immediately order an attack, but instead asked Rolf to step forward and shout:

"Listen carefully, everyone in the mansion. Madam Katia heard that Madam Tand was attacked and fell ill, so she came here specially to express her condolences. I hope you can open the door of the mansion immediately and don't destroy the relationship between the family, hehehe."

No one would believe what he said. After he said it, Rolf himself laughed, and the soldiers behind him also laughed, with a smug look on their faces.

However, there was a grim atmosphere in the City Lord's Mansion. None of the soldiers on the city wall answered him. All of them just stared at the enemies under the city wall with cold eyes.

The two sides confronted each other like this. After a while, Katia lost her patience and was too lazy to pretend. She was ready to order a forced attack. At this moment, all the troops she led had entered the city. The wall of the city lord's mansion was not high, so it was easy for her to capture it with her advantage in military strength.

At this moment, there were sudden shouts and cries from the direction of the city gate. Katia was shocked. Before she sent people to investigate, the shouts and cries stopped. Then there came the sound of footsteps of a large army advancing from the direction of the city gate. The sound was very neat and imposing.

Soon, a troop of heavily armored infantry with bright armor appeared in the field of vision. They were lined up in neat rows and advanced in the territory's unique array combination formation. The neatly arranged iron-covered large shields in the front row blocked the main road tightly, like a wall, slowly coming with a suffocating sense of oppression.

At the same time, a large number of archers with bows and arrows appeared on the roofs of houses on both sides of the main road. Heavy armored infantry in arrays also appeared on the four auxiliary roads leading to the urban areas on both sides of the main road, also holding large iron shields, blocking all the passages tightly.

Now it was Katia's turn to panic. The soldiers she led, who had been so proud just a moment ago, now had only fear on their faces. They were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe. They were trembling with fear, not knowing what to do.

It turned out that as early as the last invasion of the Khugit Khanate, through street fighting in the city, Aix discovered the role of the building layout near the main road in military affairs, so he ordered the reconstruction and reinforcement of the buildings on both sides of the main road in Kudan City.

After Gang Deyu was injured and fell ill, leaders such as Atiman and Cress immediately decided to dispatch troops from the upstream Tangquan Fortress to provide support. At the same time, in order to prevent the enemy from noticing, the supporting troops did not come from land, but used the ships of the territory's merchant caravans to cover their tracks. The dispatched soldiers hid on the merchant ships and landed in batches at the dock in the middle of the night. After landing, they quietly lurked in the soldier hiding caves in the city.

In order to avoid being noticed by outsiders, although the number of troops deployed each time could not be too large, after several nights of deployment, before Ketia launched the attack, the total strength of Kudan City, including the more than 500 people originally in the city, had reached 1,500.

This time, after seeing through Katia's conspiracy, Aix took advantage of the situation and spread the false news of Tunde's death through a spy who sneaked into the mansion disguised as a cook. He also took into account the current situation and used the characteristics of the city's terrain to formulate this plan to lure the enemy into a trap.

This plan is actually not difficult to see through. Anyone who is more cautious will not fall into the trap so easily.

Although Katia is not a reckless person, she did a lot of work in the early stages to bring down Tsuna, and invested a lot of resources, which can be said to be a huge investment.

Just like many people going to college nowadays, they find out after their sophomore year that the major they studied is very popular and they cannot find a job in the major after graduation. At this time, even if someone asks him to change his major or simply give up his studies and go to work, this person will probably not listen. He will choose to finish his major even if he has to hold his nose. After all, so much manpower and material resources have been invested in the early stage, and few people will turn back unless they hit the wall.

Katia had this kind of mood. In addition, she had intercepted and killed Aix's messenger twice. The pressure of Aix's imminent return made her feel a great sense of crisis, forcing her to make this risky decision.

Moreover, if this adventure succeeds, the fruits of victory will be extremely sweet. Although she had some doubts in her heart, she still chose to believe in herself. She took the family fortune she had saved up with great difficulty in the past few years and plunged headfirst into the pocket prepared for her by Aix.
