Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Demolishing the City Wall and Probing

"Report, the army of the Blue Sand Kingdom has arrived."

"Is that so, who has come?" Martha Earl stepped out and looked towards the opposite side.

Her subordinate immediately said, "Judging by the flag and emblem, it should be commanded by Earl Guluo."

Martha Earl laughed, "An old rival, eh? Let’s have a good showdown this time." Last winter, her rival had been Guluo, but she had chased him down and won in the end.

However, it wasn’t a complete victory, and this time was the perfect opportunity to cement her triumph.

To trade the opponent’s defeat for one’s own glory, such was the ethos of the nobles.

"They’re heading towards Earl Jia Siwei’s territory. No, wait, why can’t I see anyone on the city walls over there?"

Due to the proximity, they were originally able to see some people on the city walls of Jia Siwei’s side. Most were puppets, but there was still a person at intervals. But now, all of these had disappeared.

"How strange, why aren’t they fighting back as they’ve reached the city walls? They couldn’t have run away, could they?"

"Damn cowards, not a shred of responsibility," some had already started cursing.

The opposing army didn’t care about these remarks; they began to methodically demolish the city walls. These walls were unprotected by a Rune Barrier, and although construction was troublesome, destruction was quite easy.

With no one to defend them, several sections of the wall were soon destroyed.

From a distance, one could see another wall stirring with people.

"So they’ve abandoned the first line of defense? Although that defense wasn’t strong, this is too wasteful to give up just like that. Could it be they’ve reached some agreement? Impossible, unless they’re planning to defect."

Martha Earl didn’t understand the situation and could only watch a troop slowly enter Jia Siwei’s territory.

"It seems they really don’t want to fight, but should we just let them go? What if it’s a ploy?"

Earl Guluo shook his head: "Deception is out of the question, just think about his standing in the New Moon Kingdom, so whatever he says is likely true, he wouldn’t be willing to collaborate with other nobles."

Being a noble himself, of course, he understood the mindset of nobles.

If his own Kingdom had someone like Jia Siwei, he’d definitely scheme to take him down.

Keeping such an existence around was simply too much of an eyesore. That’s why when Kerla came over for negotiations, Guluo believed their claims wholeheartedly, without a shred of doubt.

"So we just let them go?"

"How could we? Test their strength first; if they’re not too strong, then devour them. Destroying their own walls? This I have to see for the first time."

"Zhang Dong, aren’t you and they from the same place? This task is yours. If you win, I’ll recommend you to be a Viscount."

A small man with messy hair’s eyes lit up; he too was from Earth and envied Jia Siwei immensely. Hearing about this opportunity, Zhang Dong immediately promised to do his utmost.

"Is it appropriate to send him? After all, they all come from the same place."

"It’s precisely because they come from the same place that it’s appropriate. People become most vicious when facing their former compatriots."

Zhang Dong led his men, hastily charging this way. Knowing his own strength was weaker, he arranged for many bodyguards, even though they somewhat looked down on him, Zhang Dong didn’t care.

Once successful, he’d become a viscount and fully integrate into this world.

As a noble, what could Fang Jie, that big shot, count for? Not to mention just a puppet raised by others, how could it be a stumbling block on his path forward?

"Charge with me, wipe them out!" Zhang Dong bellowed loudly.

On the other side, Jia Siwei didn’t care who was coming, simply saying to Cole, "This first battle is yours to lead, and it’s also a fight under the watch of the Great Lord. Your achievements will depend on this."

Indeed, Jia Siwei had entrusted the first battle to Cole.

Although many of the people from Earth had fought alongside him, when it came to the command and combat of cold weapons, there were severe deficiencies. Those who had recently joined were even less accustomed.

Some troops trembled or even froze at the sight of the approaching enemy’s momentum.

These people still needed training, but after this battle, quite a few would likely become much more disciplinable.

"Don’t worry, leave it to me. I won’t let them cross the wall even half a step."

The upcoming battle was purely defensive, and much effort was put into the second line of defense. It wasn’t as long as the first but was incomparable in thickness and height, and it was also connected by makeshift fortresses.

The fortresses were dotted with Arrow Towers, and many archers were on standby.

The main force consisted of Puppets, and as soon as the enemy’s troop charged over, the battle erupted.

But the opponent lacked siege weapons, and facing the walls seemed somewhat powerless. Those who had gotten used to tearing down walls earlier showed no awe, so they lost their lives.

The Puppets showcased why they were considered the strongest of the same class within the troop types, virtually impervious to swords and spears, their adversaries lacked even the means to wound these Puppets.

Moreover, the Puppets’ collective strength was greater, and there was no chance for victory.

Before one knew it, a group of Puppets had run out from the fortress gates, nearly surrounding them.

"Not good, we’re being surrounded from behind, if we don’t retreat now it’ll be too late."

"Nobody is allowed to retreat, victory is ours as long as we ascend the walls." Zhang Dong had gone mad, not even considering retreat, because he knew this was his only chance. If he couldn’t handle even one attack, there’d be no more opportunities for him to lead troops.

Because Zhang Dong persisted, his men didn’t evacuate in time and ended up completely surrounded.

Against the siege of the Puppet Army, Zhang Dong, who couldn’t break free after several attempts, finally despaired completely.

"No, don’t kill me, I’m not a native, you can’t kill your own kind." Unfortunately, no one heard Zhang Dong’s final words; Jia Siwei didn’t even know that the one attacking him was a supposed compatriot.

After the battle, corpses lay everywhere, and the Puppets began clearing the battlefield. This troop was entirely annihilated.

"Have you cleared up the investigation? How many troops are in this territory?"
