Since the system became my girlfriend

After closing the suffix, Su Rui returned to Lord Daril's side once again.

"Brother, what are you planning to do later? Should we just attack?" Su Rui asked Lord Daril.

"That depends on Kova's performance! If he cooperates with my investigation, we'll deal with him after we find the evidence. If he dares to resist, I don't mind executing him and his men on the spot!" Lord Daryl said coldly.

"Huh?!" Sui Rui was startled. The Lord of Daril in his memory was not such a cruel person. Could it be that Marshal Salo's death had caused him too much of a shock?

If it were the Daryl City Lord that Su Rui knew before, even if this situation had occurred, he would definitely have investigated secretly first, then informed the Regent, and only after receiving the order would he have sent troops to Tarrenburg.

But what about now? General Salo's death has greatly impacted Lord Daryl, who, in his quest to avenge Marshal Salo, has disregarded all formalities.

If, as Lord Daryl claims, he leads his soldiers to launch a full-scale attack on Tarrenburg, then Lord Daryl would be attacking a fellow soldier, which would be a violation of military law!

If Lord Daryl eventually finds evidence of General Kova's collusion with the Moraka Brotherhood, then everything can still be resolved. But what if he can't find any evidence? Then someone will surely impeach Lord Daryl to the Regent, and the consequences could be very serious.

"Brother, don't be impulsive. We'd better resolve this peacefully!" Su Rui advised. If Daryl were the city lord of Xuanwu City, he would naturally benefit greatly. But if Daryl were impeached because of this incident, the new city lord would have no connection with Su Rui.

"A peaceful resolution? That would be best!" Lord Daril sneered. He did not answer Su Rui, but Su Rui already understood Lord Daril's determination.

After walking for about another hour, Su Rui and his group finally arrived near Tarrenburg. In front of the large group of people, there were again those barricades and roadblocks.

"Get all of these things out of here!" The vanguard commander clearing the way was none other than Lord Daryl's trusted confidant—High-ranking Overseer Ryan!

"How dare you! Who would dare to trespass on Tarrenburg?!" The soldiers guarding the roadblock were no pushovers either. Although Ryan's rank was much higher than his, they were not from the same unit, so he didn't care much.

"Insolence!" Ryan's face darkened immediately. Although they were not from the same unit, they were both from the kingdom's army. His rank was much higher than the other's, and the other should have taken the initiative to salute him. Now that he had been rebuffed with such an attitude, he was naturally angry.

"Men! Shovel them up!" Ryan waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward and moved all the barricades and roadblocks to both sides of the road!

"How dare you! What are you doing?!" The soldiers guarding the barricades and roadblocks were also furious.

"Take him down!" Ryan waved his hand. As a confidant of Lord Daryl, how could he not know what Lord Daryl had come for this time?

Lord Daryl is eager to get rid of General Kova, so why would he be polite to these of General Kova's soldiers?

As soon as Ryan gave the order, the soldiers behind him rushed forward like wolves and tigers, instantly capturing the soldiers guarding the barricades and roadblocks. These soldiers guarding the barricades and roadblocks did not put up much resistance, and they had no way to resist. There were only about ten of them, while Ryan had hundreds of soldiers behind him.

After these people were captured, Lord Daryl's army continued to advance, marching directly past Tarrenburg.

Along the way, whether it was roadblocks preventing the advance of the column or troops attempting to obstruct them, all of these were flattened by the army of Xuanwu City. However, the soldiers of Tarrenburg were not brave in battle; they seemed more like they were just going through the motions. Therefore, they were easily captured as prisoners. By the time they arrived at Tarrenburg, the soldiers of Xuanwu City had captured nearly two hundred prisoners, but only less than twenty were actually wounded, and even those twenty were only slightly injured.

In other words, these nearly two hundred prisoners were all captured without any particularly strong resistance.

"Dallier, what are you trying to do?" When Lord Darlier led his troops to Tarrenburg, General Kova stood on the city wall and loudly questioned him.

"What are you doing?! Open the castle gates and I'll tell you what I'm going to do. Otherwise, don't blame me for attacking the city directly. Once the city is breached, I guarantee that I will slaughter everyone in the castle!" Lord Daryl said hatefully.

"Dallier! Are you insane?! Are you trying to rebel?!" General Kova shouted. His troops were no match for Lord Darlier's.

"Hmph! I'm insane! I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm here today to take your head!" Lord Daril said, his eyes now bloodshot, clearly linking this Kova to the murderer of Marshal Salo.

"Damn it! Daryl, you madman!" General Kova was also in a panic. The number of soldiers in Xuanwu City below was several times that of his own. There was no way he could hold out in Tarrenburg today.

But if you let General Kova open the castle gates and leave him to die, he wouldn't be willing to accept it.

"Attack the city!" At this moment, Lord Daryl had no patience to continue talking to General Kova. With a wave of his hand, he issued the order to attack the city.

"Yes!" the soldiers of Xuanwu City replied, and then began to operate the engineering machinery they carried behind them.

Although these machines looked primitive, their offensive power was truly terrifying. The catapults launched fireballs, which would explode violently upon hitting the castle walls, even blasting a gap in them.

Under the relentless onslaught of such powerful siege engines, the walls of Tarrenburg were quickly riddled with holes.

"Charge!" With a command from the front-line commander, the soldiers of Xuanwu City rushed out of their bunkers and headed straight for the breach left in the Tarunburg city wall after it had been blown up.

"Kill!" The soldiers of Tarrenburg fought back bravely. They were on higher ground and enjoyed the advantage of range. The sharp arrows pierced the bodies of the Xuanwu City soldiers and took their lives. Most of these Xuanwu City warriors were shot dead before they even reached the foot of the city wall.

But with their numerical advantage, more people rushed to the foot of the city wall. Then, these people entered the city through the gap in the wall, went up the passageway, and rushed straight to the defenders on the city tower!
