outside Bell City
This is a large battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke and blood everywhere, with corpses criss-crossed, covering all the surrounding land.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Hornby knelt down on one knee, leaning on the big knife in his right hand, his left hand hung down weakly, panting heavily, and there were only less than three hundred soldiers of the Hall Kingdom left around him supporting each other.
In the end, it was Hornby who won!
And Duford was lying not far from him, his head and body were completely separated, and his steel shield was lying quietly beside his corpse, but it was full of knife marks!
Although Duford's use of suicide squads caused heavy losses to the Hall Kingdom's army, a motley army was a motley army, even if it was 15,000 against 5,000.
If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers of the Hall Kingdom ran out of ammunition and had to fight hand-to-hand as a last resort, there would be at least a thousand soldiers left.
However, even if he won, Hornby didn't have any happy thoughts. He knew that the real problem had just come, and although he was prepared, he still had no idea in his heart.
"Ghost fire, ghost fire, now that the war is over, your fox's tail should be exposed, for what purpose, should it appear now?" Hornby murmured.
However, before he could get the news of the ghost fire, another bad news came.
"Report-"
A soldier with an anxious look on his face ran over in a hurry.
This sound made Hornby's heart skip a beat, and he suddenly felt a bad feeling. Could it be that the ghost fire's fox tail was exposed?
"Speak!" said Hornby hastily.
"General, it's not good, the Kingdom of St. Martin has attacked, and now it has occupied Dusi Port, and is heading for the royal city!" The soldier hurriedly said.
"What!?" Hornby said in shock, it wasn't the news of the ghost fire. But this news is obviously more serious than the ghost fire news!
and many more!
Wraith large quantities of arms for the Kingdom of Saint Martin.
A series of information is connected in his brain.
At this moment, he figured out that the culprit behind the scenes was not a ghost fire!
The ghost fire is just one of them. The real mastermind behind the scenes is the Kingdom of St. Martin!
"Haha!" Hornby slumped directly on the ground with a miserable smile on his face, "Saint Martin, Saint Martin, what a Saint Martin!!!"
If it is a ghost fire, he is confident, his preparations must be useful, at least he can bite a piece of the ghost fire, but St. Martin's words, he has no confidence at all!
After sitting paralyzed on the ground for a while, Hornby finally eased up, stood up abruptly, and said, "Go, go back to Hall City!"
"General, what about the city of Bell?" an officer asked unwillingly.
It's not that the officers don't know the importance of Hall City, but now that all the troops of the Bell Kingdom have been destroyed, the rest is only to receive the fruits of victory. It is really difficult to choose in this situation!
"I said, go back!" said Hornby in a heavy tone, staring at the officer.
"Yes!" the officer said helplessly.
After a while, the team of less than 300 people regrouped and headed back towards Hall City.
On the city wall of Bell City in the distance, a group of princes, ministers and kings of Bell Kingdom saw this scene. !
But soon, they stopped laughing.
"Report-"
A soldier hurried over.
After a while, the ministers and kings who got the news slumped on the ground and understood why Hornby retreated after winning. After all, the kingdom was no longer guaranteed, so what was the use of occupying Bell City?
——
Port of Ducey
It was beyond Rilis's expectations.
Attacking the two kingdoms was simpler than he had imagined. The entire process from the navy landing to occupying the port took less than ten minutes, during which no resistance was encountered at all.
"Da da da!"
Teams of naval soldiers from the Kingdom of Saint Martin went from the streets to the important points of the port.
Rilis was walking on the streets of this port, watching this scene, he was going to be happy at first, but now he can't be happy at all, and he feels very strange.
Because they met no resistance!
What's even more bizarre is that the people in the entire port seem to have not seen them, doing their own things on their own, and even the army has no response when they run over.
"This eldest sister, can I ask you a question?" Leslie asked with a smile on her face, stopping the aunt who was holding a washbasin and was about to go to the laundry.
"What's the matter with you?" Aunt Ma asked, looking up and down Rilis.
"Aunt, we are the army of the Kingdom of St. Martin, ready to occupy your kingdom, aren't you angry?" Rilis asked curiously.
"Angry? What are you angry about? You are not the bastards of the Bell Kingdom, just occupy it, it doesn't matter!" The aunt said quite a bit self-sacrificing.
"Er why?" Rilis asked in surprise.
"My husband and my son all sacrificed their lives for the kingdom, but the kingdom didn't even have any comfort. What's the use of such a kingdom?" As the aunt said, tears could not be stopped.
This cry made Rilis a little difficult to deal with. If he was asked to kill, it would be no problem, but if he was to comfort others, it would be a difficult thing for him!
In desperation, Rilis could only pat Aunt on the back with his hands and comfort her silently.
After a while, the aunt stopped.
"By the way, you are from the Kingdom of St. Martin. I heard that the workers there are living a good life?" The aunt stared at Rilis and asked hesitantly.
When Rilis heard this, his mind moved, and he immediately had an idea in his heart!
"It's alright, our kingdom has been recruiting workers. As long as you become a worker in our kingdom, you will have food and housing, and you will have a monthly salary. As long as you work hard, your life will be richer!"
"As far as food is concerned, the workers in our kingdom basically have meat for three meals. If they wear clothes, our kingdom supplies most of the fabrics in the entire West Sea at a fairly cheap price.
If it is people in their own kingdom, it is even cheaper to buy fabrics, so the workers do not worry about what to wear, but most worry about what to wear every day! "
"and also."
Rilis said a series of benefits of St. Martin's kingdom, and Aunt's face was quite moved.
"Well, can you let me take my daughter-in-law and granddaughter to become a worker in your kingdom?" The aunt hesitated for a while, and finally asked, and then quickly said, "Don't worry, I'm very diligent!"
"No problem!" Rilis patted his chest to assure, and then asked, "However, sis, why do you want to tell me first?"
"This" Aunt hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I don't want to stay in this kingdom anymore, I have nothing but to eat enough to eat, and I go to war all day long, I've had enough, I've had enough Everything here, I just want to find a place where there is no war, where I can eat enough, and work hard to buy some decent clothes for my granddaughter!"
Hearing these words from Auntie, Rilis was keenly aware of one point. Perhaps the war in the past few months has caused the people of the two kingdoms on this island to hate their own country in addition to hating the other's kingdom?
If it is true, it is a good opportunity to buy people's hearts!
So, he grabbed a few more people and used the temptation to go to St. Martin's Kingdom as a worker, and successfully asked them the same answer as Auntie.
"Sister, if our kingdom occupied this place and established a factory here, would you be willing to work here?" Rilis asked.
"Can I cover food and shelter, meat for three meals, wages and hair, and clothes to wear?" Aunt asked with a frown.
"No problem, everything you said is fine!" Rilis patted his chest and assured.
"That's ok, as long as you can make sure we don't fight here!" Auntie said with a smile.
"Okay, eldest sister, you can go and inform those who have the same idea as you, and tell them that after we occupy this place, we will build factories, farms, etc. in your place, and you can all enter and become workers!"
"Moreover, you can also eat and cover, three meals have meat, and wages are paid. In addition, the kingdom can also sell you some fabrics at low prices. As long as you are paid, you can easily buy these things!" Riley Si said with a smile.
"Really!?" The aunt couldn't believe it.
"Really! I am Rilis, the Admiralty of the Kingdom of St. Martin. If our kingdom can't fulfill these promises in the future, you will come to me!" Rilis patted his chest and assured.
Soon, the aunt went back to inform people with a happy expression.
And Rilis also dialed everyone's phone, slightly changed the strategy of the attack, and adopted the method of publicizing the attack again and again to attack the two kingdoms.
Let these people who have been poor for many years before the war see the benefits of joining the Kingdom of St. Martin, which can reduce their resistance to the idea, and after that, as long as the Kingdom of St. Martin fulfills its promise, it can still win the hearts of the people here.
