Unknown Knight

Of course, Niza's disappointment was just a small resentment caused by the setback in the siege. Considering the brotherhood between the two of them who shared the same ideals, it was far from the point of causing a rift. It was more like a complaint between close friends.

And Niza did not hide anything. He immediately reported the current situation to Aix, and complained openly that the soldiers Aix brought were too few, saying that the troops he brought were of little help to the current situation.

After hearing what Niza said, Aix didn't take it seriously. Instead, he laughed out loud in a pretentious manner, leaving the people around him confused for a moment.

It turned out that although Aix had been traveling for the past few days, his strengthened body was not tired at all. Instead, he was thinking about the current situation while marching.

With his enhanced brain analysis, he not only predicted in advance that it would be difficult for Niza to capture Dukuba City with his current strength, but also worked out a way to break the current situation.

The surprise attack was a great success, far exceeding previous expectations. Now Niza's report has verified his guess. This ability to anticipate the enemy's situation has made him even more confident, and at the same time it has also aroused his desire to show off.

How could this guy let go of such a good opportunity to show off so easily? He looked so proud that he had a clear mind. He waved his hand and said:

"What's so difficult about this? We just need to do this and that..."

That night, the camp outside Dukuba City changed from the desolate atmosphere of the previous few days of failed siege to become extremely lively. A huge bonfire was lit in the camp and a bonfire party was held.

This atmosphere made the three princes who were watching from the watchtower of Dukuba City worried.

Just after noon the next day, another cavalry team of three or four hundred people arrived at Niza's camp outside the city. Then loud cheers came from the camp. The sound was so loud that it could be heard on the top of the city wall of Dukuba, causing a commotion on the walls.

For several days in a row, between noon and dusk every day, an army of at least one or two hundred and at most four or five hundred people came to Niza's camp outside the city.

As a result, the camp was originally filled with tents, and soon the area in the camp was not enough, so new camps had to be built for the reinforcements that arrived every day.

In the meeting hall of the city lord's palace in Dukuba City, the eldest prince Nubia, who was sitting in the main seat, glanced at the third prince Azzam and the fifth prince Sharif, who were sitting below.

Since entering the city, the three princes have been fighting openly and secretly.

The eldest prince Nubia relied on the fact that Dukuba City was his own territory and threatened to use food and supplies as a threat. Under the guise of overall command, he demanded that all the troops in the city be integrated and commanded in a unified manner.

The third prince Azam and the fifth prince Sharif were not stupid either. They saw through their eldest brother's plan at a glance and naturally strongly opposed it.

However, the two families were guest armies, and individually, neither of them was a match for the eldest prince, Nubia, so they had to unite to resist Nubia's schemes.

Thus, two forces were temporarily formed in the city. One was the local group of the eldest prince Nubia, and the other was the foreign army group composed of the third prince Azzam and the fifth prince Sharif.

The two forces often engaged in fierce fights over food, supplies and water, which could even lead to bloodshed and death in serious cases.

That is to say, their common enemy, Sultan Niza, is outside the city, and the three princes of the two forces are still restraining their soldiers, otherwise they may have an internal conflict and fight directly in the next moment.

But this was not a solution. Large numbers of reinforcements arrived at Niza's camp every day. The camp was getting bigger and bigger like a huge rock, pressing on the hearts of the three princes, making it increasingly difficult for them to breathe.

As a last resort, the three brothers glared at each other and sat together again to discuss how to deal with the situation.

“Sharif, you have been the smartest among your brothers and sisters since childhood. Do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?

This isn't a solution. In just a few days, over a thousand reinforcements have arrived outside the city. If we don't find a solution, that damned bastard Niza will definitely attack the city again once his army gains an advantage over us. Then we'll be in trouble!"

After hearing what the eldest prince Nubia said, the fifth prince Sharif looked at the third prince Azzam. The two smiled at each other. Sharif curled his lips and said nonchalantly:

"It's not that there isn't a solution, but my third brother and I haven't had a full meal these past few days. Even if there's a solution, we can't fight on an empty stomach, don't you think, my respected brother?"

The eldest prince Nubia also knew that what he did was a bit disgraceful. He blushed unconsciously and coughed to cover it up.

"Ahem, this is my negligence. You all know that we are facing a powerful enemy and there are too many affairs in the city. I can't take care of everything, so don't be angry.

Come, quickly replenish the daily military supplies for my two brothers. Quartermaster, have the chefs prepare a feast and ensure that all the soldiers in the city are well fed. No mistakes!"

After hearing what their elder brother Nubia said, Sharif and Azzam smiled at each other again, then shrugged and closed their eyes, pretending that they were still dissatisfied.

Seeing that his two younger brothers were unmoved, the Nubian prince had no choice but to continue:

"Give orders to the chefs to slaughter cattle and sheep to ensure that the soldiers have meat to eat.

In addition, um, in addition, the quartermaster will immediately distribute three days' worth of rations to the armies of the two highnesses, oh no, five days' worth of rations."

Glancing at his two younger brothers who remained unmoved, the eldest prince Nubia added.

Seeing that his elder brother was finally willing to spend his fortune, Prince Sharif no longer acted pretentiously and cleared his throat and said:

"My respected elder brother, have you noticed that the enemy reinforcements arriving outside the city have increased in number over the past few days, forcing them to expand their camp?"

"Yes, their army is growing in number now. If this continues, it will be very bad for us!"

Seeing that Nubia didn't see the key to this and wasn't on the same wavelength as him, Sharif couldn't help but look down on him even more. He curled his lips and continued,

"My respected brother, their reinforcements have been arriving later and later these past few days, so much so that they haven't even finished repairing the expanded camp until dark. In some places, there aren't even trenches or camp walls..."

In order to make the dull and suspicious Prince Nubia feel more involved, Sharif deliberately did not finish his words.

Hearing Sharif's words, Prince Nubia realized that he was unworthy of his position and said:

"My wise fifth brother, are you suggesting that we take advantage of the opportunity to launch a night attack and penetrate the enemy's main camp from the newly expanded camp?"

"That's right, my dear brother. If the usurper Niza's army continues to grow like this, he'll soon be overwhelming us. Once he launches an attack on Dukuba City, it will fall, and we brothers will surely perish!"

Seeing his elder brother Nubia showing hesitation, Sharif said worriedly, his contempt for him increased a little bit, and he had to help his stupid and cowardly elder brother make up his mind.
