Under the city of Fornoros, it was pitch black.

The little queen's army set up the first line of defense half a ligament from the city wall. Standing on the city wall, you can see the vague firelight in the camp in the distance.

The enemy shows no signs of attack. This can be seen from the daytime - the city is in a good view and can clearly see the movements in the enemy's camp. So far, no one has found signs of building siege equipment in the camp. As we all know, it is completely impossible to attack a city without a city hammer, a turtle shield, a siege tower, and a ladder.

Even those who know nothing about military affairs can guess that the little queen intends to use the siege tactic.

Having said that, the siege tactic itself is the most effective, labor-saving and unsolvable method used by the siege.

Byerheim was wearing a leather, simple-looking travel suit, with a rough and simple leather armor on the outside, and a gray-brown cloak. Around him were three followers dressed in the same manner as him.

"What are we waiting for?" asked Byerheim.

"Wait a few," Essin replied. He was wearing the rusty mail that last time passed through the black cloak. As he spoke, he always looked at the camp in the distance, as if he wanted to see some special traces from the darkness.

"Who else can I wait for?"

"Waiting for someone who can provide you with identity cover!" Essin replied without hesitation. "If you didn't bring you with you, you wouldn't have to cause such trouble."

It seemed to be to prove Essin's words, a few minutes later, several figures appeared on the city wall. Although these people were all wrapped in hooded cloaks, anyone could see that these were women and children. Byerheim grabbed the smaller figure, and under the hood was a face belonging to a child, full of horror.

"Essin, what do you want to do?" Baierheim asked. He didn't know the child, but his identity could be roughly seen from the child's clean face and slightly fat body.

"Find a suitable reason to pass the camp smoothly," Essin replied. "Take them with you and there will be a reasonable explanation, at least not let others doubt the identity of our team."

Byerheim quickly realized Essing's true intention, or he thought he understood Essing's intention. The damn mercenary wanted to use this opportunity to make some extra money. However, Byerheim also thought Essing's words made some sense.

This kind of scumbag is always trying every opportunity to get benefits! He thought contemptuously in his heart.

The man had arrived, and Essin jumped into the hanging basket prepared on the top of the city and was slowly put down. Tonight, the moon was a good time for secret action.

According to the plan, Essin must first go over and contact the "old friend" to determine the situation there.

Byerheim stood at the top of the city and watched Essin disappear into the darkness. He actually had some hope that this lowly guy would never return. Essin was full of factors that he didn't like: lowly origin, full of desire and ambition, ignorant of being arrogant, arrogant, etc. If Byron was not the one who presided over the overall situation in the city now, but Byerheim, he might have found a mission that is most suitable for such scum to kill and solve this annoying guy once and for all.

However, the facts seem to show the truth that disaster has lived for thousands of years. Soon after, a slight ringtone came from the bottom of the city wall. The hanging basket was put down again, and Essin returned to the city.

He looked safe and had no skin broken.

"Everything goes well, I've found that guy." Essin said immediately before Baierheim asked. "I'm lucky that he was in charge of the patrol today. This means he can get us away without any effort."

They came to the city where they relied on the hanging basket. Under the cover of darkness, they used a small boat they prepared in advance to pass the moat. The whole process went smoothly, and even the little boys who were in the way were not too much to drag them down. Then, they bent down and sneaked in the open space outside the city, trying to quietly approach the enemy's camp as much as possible.

The first line of defense of the enemy is located half a rig. It is a simple line of defense composed of earth walls and trenches. There is a torch every distance on the line of defense to provide lighting, and corresponding sentries are arranged. This line of defense is actually not difficult. As long as a quick person (with a little help from tools) can easily climb over. After passing through this line of defense, it is the biggest trouble. Behind is the enemy's solid camp, various fortifications for defense against frontal attacks, and many patrols.

Without Essin's leadership, at least Byerheim himself wouldn't have taken this risk.

The journey in the dark was slow and depressing. To take care of the children, Essin was not very fast. Everyone knew that the operation was dangerous - all kinds of controllable and uncontrollable accidents could kill the entire team at any time.

They came all the way under the wall, and as Byelheim looked at this simple and effective fortification, someone suddenly poked his head out from it.

Baierheim was shocked. His hand quickly reached behind him...on the surface he only wore a sword, but in fact, like all those who were good at calculating, he hid a specially made exquisite pistol on his body.

"Esing, are you here?" said the stranger to Esing.

"Well, where is the ladder?" Essin replied. The calm tone of his speech brought the entire team back to normal from shock. It was obvious that this man was Essin's old friend, at least his close friend's close friend.

"Here." The stranger ignored the team's reaction. Soon, a ladder was put down. With the help of this tool, the entire team, including the children, successfully crossed the obstacle.

Byerheim was the last one to climb up. He noticed that there were four or five people waiting for them here. These people were fully armed, but their armor styles were different, and they could recognize them as mercenaries at a glance.

"There are too many people, and you must separate. Only two people can walk at a time." Essin and the leader said a few words in a low voice, turning back to Baierheim. "The children must wait here, and need a car to hide them, but we can go first."

Byerheim had no objection to this proposal. He just wanted to pass through the camp as soon as possible. As for the children's affairs, it was completely out of his mind.

However, as the so-called "late, there will be changes", when Essin proposed to leave first, he immediately agreed.

The strange mercenary took the lead, Essin was the second, and Byerheim walked at the end. It must be said that the person who led the way was indeed very familiar with the road, because they had turned around and turned, but they had not encountered a patrol team.

In front of me was an open space in the middle of the camp, with a bonfire burning, but there was a standing figure in front of the bonfire. It seemed that the person who led the way wanted to pass through this side because he had no intention of avoiding the figure, but walked directly towards the side...

Is it a guy who can't sleep at night? Byerheim lowered his head, looked at the ground in front of him, and tried his best to make himself less conspicuous.

The person in front suddenly stopped. Byerheim almost couldn't hold back. He instinctively raised his head and saw that he had arrived in front of the person standing by the bonfire in a daze.

The stranger looked young, wearing armor (which is normal in the military camp), without a helmet, revealing black hair and eyes of the same color. There was a scar in the middle of his nose, which was left by some sharp weapon. The stranger smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Well..." Bielheim realized the next moment that Essin had retreated to the side, and the same was true for the mercenary leading the way. These three men happened to form a triangle and surrounded him in the center. Even fools knew that something was wrong.

"Virgin Bayerheim?" said the man with scar on his nose. "I'm glad to see you. To be honest, it's really a pity that you didn't give me a meeting last time when you visited Eagle Falcon City. Fortunately, I can make up for this regret today." Looking at Bayerheim's slightly frightened face, the stranger's smile became even stronger. "Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ashurufate, and I'm a newly enthroned count. You must have heard of me. I have many questions to ask you, and there are many places that need you. I believe you won't let me down."

"White..." Byelheim's shock at this moment was really hard to describe. What happened? How did it turn into this? He turned to look at Essin, whose face was full of smiles.

"I am very grateful." Essin said, but the joy on his face was not disguised. "With your help from Lord Baierheim, I finally got the opportunity to be promoted."

"Esing...I treat you very well..."

"Mr. Byerheim, your speaking level really makes me feel inferior." Essin replied. "You can tell such a lie to the face without changing your face. At this level, even that guy Cleo is willing to be inferior!" He reached out and took out a bag from his waist - it was the purse that Byerheim gave him before, heavy, containing hundreds of gold. "Your 'not thin' can be taken back at any time. What do you think I am? A beggar on the street?"

"Damn..." Byerheim turned around and reached out to draw his gun regardless of everything, but Essin's movements were faster. With a round of his arm, his heavy purse hit Beerheim's head, making the latter fall and stop moving on the spot.

A burst of footsteps sounded, and several people present saw a little girl wearing armor appearing next to her. Everyone, including Ash Rufate, took the initiative to salute.

"Her Majesty the Queen," Essin greeted.

"I saw it." The little girl looked at Essin, then looked at Baierheim who had fainted. "Essin, you have done so much for me, what do you want to get?"

"Just as I said last time, your majesty," Essin said with his head down. "I just hope there is a chance to serve you."

The little girl opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it. "I can make you a general, but I don't have any extra army for you." She said at the end

"You just need to give me five hundred soldiers." Essin replied.
