Who taught him to restore the country like this?

This group of brainless idiots encouraged him to fall into the trap. If he was not in urgent need of manpower, he really wanted to deal with these idiots for last night's rout.

"withdraw!"

Ian pondered for a long time and ordered a retreat.

They were not far from Baimu City at this time, and Baimu City must have discovered the enemy attack.

But after waiting for so long, Baimucheng didn't respond at all.

The trap couldn't be more obvious.

He expected that there must be many traps set up in Baimu City at this time. With the 4,000 people he led, if he attacked rashly, he would probably repeat the defeat of last night.

Without the heart of a white lion, he chose to retreat for the sake of caution.

Too many strange things happened today, and he had to be on guard.

Ian reined in his horse and turned back to White River City.

He did not give up attacking Baimu City, but planned to go back and recruit more manpower to deal with Baimu City.

……

On Baimu City.

The several mercenaries from the Tiantu Mercenary Group who were on guard were sweating profusely at this moment.

They discovered very early that a large number of enemy troops were approaching. The reason they remained calm was because Ron had instructed them in advance that if they saw enemy troops attacking, they should not panic or do anything, just stand on the city wall and watch.

Even though they believed that there must be a reason why Ron asked them to do this, when the dark enemy formation really appeared two miles away and the murderous aura seemed to be able to penetrate from such a distance, their hearts still beat uncontrollably.

Every breath became heavier, and the knuckles of the fingers holding the weapon turned white from the strain.

Every second the enemy stayed outside the city felt like a century to them.

I was worried that if the enemy attacked at this moment, how would Baimu City resist?

When the mercenaries on the city wall saw the enemy formation begin to stir, the enemy commander reined in his horse and turned around, and the entire huge army formation slowly began to turn around, they could hardly believe their eyes.

"Gone...gone?" someone murmured, his voice filled with the confusion of having survived a disaster.

"They're really gone! They're retreating!" Another mercenary took a deep breath, as if a drowning person had finally surfaced. His tense body relaxed instantly, and he even staggered and almost fell.

He held on to the cold battlements, gasping for breath, his face showing a mixture of disbelief and fear.

He looked at the dust rising in the distance, which was the trace of the retreat of the Silver City army, and then looked back at the city - it was still empty, with only these few "decorations" and the deceptive formation set up by Mr. Thomson.

Thinking back to Mr. Thomson's confident look in the morning, it seemed as if he had already calculated all this.

"Mr. Thomson is truly amazing."

Everyone felt sincere respect in their hearts.

And at this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion.

Ron, who had just woken up, was standing by the window, looking leisurely at the red sky.

Only after the sleepiness in his brain completely disappeared did he turn around, change his clothes, and walk out of the room.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Ron went to the Public Security Department for inspection.

A large number of guards left the city at once. As a leader, if he did not show up, the mercenaries and wounded in the city would probably feel abandoned and fall into panic.

"Mr. Thomson."

In the courtyard, the wounded and mercenaries saw Ron and greeted him.

Ron patiently responded and communicated with them one by one, soothing their anxious hearts and laying a solid foundation for future reputation gains.

After a tour of the security office, Ron went to the city gate for inspection.

When Ron climbed up the city wall, others were already asking the guards about the situation.

It's Reggie and Tallulah.

"Mr. Thomson."

Reggie noticed someone coming from behind him, turned around, and saw it was Ron, so he took two steps forward to greet him.

"Teacher." Tallulah also walked forward and shouted.

Ron nodded slightly.

"Are you feeling better?" He looked at Reggie and asked with concern.

"Yeah." Reggie's face flushed slightly.

She didn't suffer any serious injuries last night and she fell into a coma simply because she was too tired. She feels much better now after a good night's sleep.

But Tallulah told her that it was Ron who carried her back to her room last night and bandaged her wounds with his own hands, which was very thoughtful.

This made her, who had made a big mistake, feel flattered, but at the same time, it was a little hard for her to imagine that His Majesty, who usually only bullied her, could have such a caring side.

"Teacher, you are really brave, but it really worked. They retreated. They were really scared away." Tallulah said excitedly.

Has the Silver City army arrived yet?

Upon hearing this, Ron found the guard to find out what was going on.

The guard detailed the recent attack by the Silver City army.

After Ron heard this, there was no expression of surprise or joy on his face, only a deep calmness and a sharp insight into everything.

"Mr. Thomson, you are really a genius." The guard exclaimed sincerely.

"Yeah." Ron replied calmly, looking into the distance: "It's just a simple trick to confuse the enemy."

He walked slowly to the edge of the city wall, pressing his hands on the rough stone bricks. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched his figure long, casting it on the empty city wall.

"Teacher, you are too modest."

Tallulah said, "This is indeed a simple thing to do, but how many people have the courage to think of and use such a trick in this situation?"

Reggie nodded, agreeing with Tallulah's statement.

This strategy of feigning an attack and then risking one's life leaves no room for retreat.

How many people dare to gamble?

And how many people are as confident as Ron?

"You won't get any reward for kissing my ass."

The corners of Ron's mouth curved up slightly, not with pride, but with the understanding of a chess player after making a move.

The empty city plan is not something that can be played casually.

The main reason for this success was that Silver City had just suffered a crushing defeat last night that it shouldn't have suffered. It was full of suspicion and had lost the support of the 'Heart of the White Lion', making it like a frightened bird.

The more Bai Mucheng showed weakness, the more the enemy was afraid to believe him. What they saw was not an empty city, but a trap he had set in his mind.

"I'm not flattering you, teacher. I really think you're amazing," Tallulah said flatteringly. "It would be even more amazing if you could teach another student as outstanding as you."

"Go." Ron rolled his eyes at Tallulah.

"Mr. Thompson, what should we do next?" Reggie asked.

Ron's empty city strategy was just a temporary solution.

The Duke's second son is not a fool. The strength of Baimu City is obvious. No matter how many traps he sets, it will be just that at most.

The reason why Silver City withdrew its troops this time was simply because they didn't bring enough manpower. When they return, they will definitely gather a stronger force and make a comeback.

There is not much time left for Baimu City.

"Recruit some more guards."

Ron withdrew his gaze from the distance, looked at Reggie and said, "I just went to the Public Security Department to check. They have to maintain law and order in the city and take care of the wounded. The manpower is indeed a bit insufficient."

"Oh." Reggie responded blankly, then realized that Ron's answer was not what she asked at all.

"Mr. Thompson, Silver City might attack again. Should we..."

"Will not."

Ron chuckled and said, "Silver City will not attack Whitewood City again."

If Silver City is scared off today, it will have no chance to attack White Wood City again.

Because it will be at least tomorrow morning when they gather enough people.

This period of time was enough for the army led by Singer to reach White Star City and capture it.

When the Duke's second son gets the news, will they continue to attack Baimu City, which has unknown risks, or will they lead the troops back to deal with the people in Baixing City?

The answer is definitely to counterattack White Star City. White Star City is the main city closest to Silver City. Once the Duke's eldest son enters White Star City and gains power, it is only a matter of time before he captures Silver City.

Giving up the home advantage of Silver City and attacking a marginal Whitewood City - no smart person would do that.

Therefore, the Duke's second son will definitely deal with the rebels in White Star City first.

This move is called diverting trouble away.

What followed was the struggle between the Duke's eldest son and the second son. He only needed to sit back and watch the fight, waiting for the opportunity to restore the country.

Reggie looked at the confident smile on Ron's face and was stunned.

When she saw Ron smile like this before, she just thought he was a lunatic.

Now she is immersed in it.

Chapter 120 Resurrection

……

The midday sun was like melted gold foil, flowing down the eaves of the solemn hall, spreading a shimmering river of light on the white marble slabs.

"Is it really okay for you to just look at me like this?"

A voice suddenly came from the hall.

Celia came back to her senses in a daze and looked towards the hall.
