The lord of Bilin City, Yit, has been feeling a little complicated recently.

As the southernmost part of the eastern border and the closest to the king's leadership, it played a very important role in the war - mainly logistics;

In fact, he also wanted to fight on the battlefield and avenge Duke Richard?

However, Bilin City must serve as a transit station for the logistics supply of the army. He, the city lord, has a heavy responsibility and is very busy all day;

The siege equipment had just passed through the suburbs a while ago. As the war was about to enter the final stage, the Duke of Phoenix suffered a great defeat, with less than 10,000 people left - this was a bolt from the blue for everyone in the Eastern Realm.

With the retreat of the remaining soldiers, Bilin City suddenly changed from logistics to frontline - according to the combat situation, it would not take long to become the territory of the king.

Several of the viscounts under his subordinates speculated that with the nature of the Duke, they would mostly choose to surrender in order to protect the lives of the people;

They also advised Earl Itte not to act irritably, after all, the usual style of conduct in the East is extremely concerned about the safety of the people.

As a result, a few days later, Lord Noah's order was to accommodate the people nearby and burn down the granary in the city. The meaning of doing so was quite obvious, which was to allow the enemies entering the East to get no supply, in other words...

It's just fighting the enemy to the end.

Although this intention made Count Itt quite happy, he also felt something was wrong-

Will the people really respond to such orders?

How much damage will this cause to them by burning arable land and granaries? The East has always protected the people...

Moreover, looking at the history of the Kingdom of Fares, such acts of forcibly migrating people in a short period of time, almost no pleasant endings - the people are unwilling to leave, and the nobles are either forced to compromise or use force...

But the result was so smooth that everyone was surprised.

After the nobles sent knights to the villages, they announced orders issued in the name of the duke to the villagers and explained to them the reasons for doing so;

As a result, all the villagers rushed to pack up their salutes and rushed towards the nearby city - because they knew that this was the only way they could help the Duke of Phoenix.

Before, the villagers of the entire territory heard that when the Duke of Phoenix went to war, many people wanted to join in to avenge Duke Richard; in the end, the lord successfully stopped it on the grounds that "people who can't fight, only increase the logistics burden when they go to the battlefield."

At this moment, just "retreat and return to the city" can serve the Eastern Realm. Is there such a good thing?

As for those granaries? Those crops? So what if you burn them in one go?

They all knew very well how good their lives were and how kind of benefits they had enjoyed compared to the Western border, the North border and some barren areas in the Middle border;

And they also know very well who this favor comes from.

If the Duke of Phoenix had not been short of food, they would have scrambled to donate the food.

Now it's just a waste of burning it out with a fire.

Under such a high degree of awareness, the people near Bilin City successfully rushed to the city for refuge within three days, and even the streets were filled with people;

The nobles were naturally not vague, and they opened porridge shops directly for people who did not have enough food to ensure that they could support them.

People from multiple villages get along very peacefully on the streets and the city is in order - they all know what behavior can make the nobles less trouble.

On the fourth day, the army from Zhongjie arrived at Bilin City.

They looked arrogant, with flags covering the sky and the sun, and everything that was blocking them was about to be crushed;

But they stopped in front of Bilin City, and sent envoys to demand that the Lord of Bilin City surrender - and then were driven back by Earl Itt with stones.

This extremely rude behavior angered the Central Army; they began to attack the city.

However, this almost unscheming hard hit has not achieved any results, because-

The walls of Bilin City are full of people.

Although there are not many soldiers left in Bilin City, this does not mean that they are short of manpower;

After eating free hot porridge, the people in the city also increased their fighting spirit;

They took the initiative to ask to climb the city wall to help defend, and they didn't have to go through too much training in what they needed to do. They were nothing more than throwing stones off the city wall, overturning the ladder that built the city wall, etc.

Even if one or two soldiers could climb the city wall by chance, they would be pinned to the ground by the militia who flocked to them;

Even if their armor is strong enough, they are not afraid of the simple weapons in the hands of militia, they will be solved by the most primitive attack method of militia - several people will be raised together and then thrown down the city.

The attacking soldiers would never understand where these people on the city walls got such high morale.

The battle did not last long before it ended; the offensive team suffered heavy losses—nearly a thousand mid-level soldiers;

The losses in Bilin City were less than 300 people, most of whom were only slightly injured.

The soldiers of the Central Army who were defeated in the siege could only choose to destroy Bilin Village - they burned down their residences and left.

If this city cannot be captured, then the next city will not be the same, right?

Earl Itt knew that the next city would be like this.

All the people, as the nobles said, left no food for the enemy - nor gave the enemy the chance to kill themselves at will.

This situation of war once again exceeded Duke Myrones' expectations: Why did these people obey the words of the Eastern District nobles so much?

They do whatever they want? Abandon the land and most of their property is to oppose the East?

He will never understand that this is the importance of the people's hearts.

No matter how the soldiers in the Middle Realm are destroyed in the East Realm, they just burned a few houses;

The person is still there.

They also couldn't get half a grain of food.

But, can this really make the enemy retreat? Earl Itt still has some doubts.

He knew that the northern part of the eastern border was much denser than the southern part of the population; it seemed a bit unworkable to carry out such a strategy again.

On that day, just as Count Yit was pondering in the castle, the guards who walked quickly interrupted his thoughts.

"Sir, Princess Mapoloshi came to the city just now..."

"Why don't you invite her in quickly?" Even the Earl of Itt, who is far away in the southernmost end, knows Roche's reputation as a genius. "Anyway, the enemy has retreated now, open the city gate!"

"No...she's gone."

"What..." Earl Itt asked in confusion, "Don't you let her into the city?"

"No... she just asked the defenders on the city wall for a large bag of dry food and left, and then tied it to the rope...it."

The guard said as he spread his palms, with a golden dragon on it.
