I'm not a lord

Chapter 114 Ma is safe and sound

Bova rode out of the woods and saw several rows of barricades at the city gate.

So instead of heading straight for the south gate, he cleverly turned west, crossed a large area of ​​harvested flat fields, and went all the way to the west side of the castle.

Jotanaka was completely exposed, and the guards on the city wall quickly noticed his presence and communicated with him through hand gestures.

And Bova also waved his arms, indicating that he wanted to enter the city from the west.

A guard immediately informed Flora, who was inspecting the enemy situation on the south wall.

Flora trotted to the west wall and panted, "Bowa? He's alone? Where are the other knights? Where is Henryk?"

The feudal knight guarding the city wall said in a low voice: "My Lord Regent, there is also black smoke in the northwest. Henrik may be fighting the enemy."

At this moment, the enemy troops under the city noticed Bova's presence, and longbowmen began to shoot arrows at Bova.

Another knight immediately suggested: "Regent, we are seriously short of troops. We should let Bova enter the city immediately!"

Flora thought for a moment and could only nod with difficulty: "Let down a rope, and if he wants to enter the city, pull him up."

Even now, Flora still has some doubts about Bova.

But her lover Henrik is not around, and there is indeed a shortage of troops in the castle. Does she have any choice?

She even felt that if she did not let Bova enter the city, the two feudal knights around him might just capture her and surrender her to the enemy outside the city.

But are these enemy troops outside the city really the Duke’s army?

If so, why didn’t they send an envoy into the city, and why have they remained silent since they set up camp?

What's going on with the black smoke in the northwest?
Are there enemies invading from the north? Is it the White Bear Territory?
Where's Henrik? Why hasn't he come to support us yet?
Flora was really dizzy. She had too little information and the situation she faced was too complicated. In addition, she lacked the support of reliable people around her. The changes in the situation were completely beyond her brain's ability to process.

She was just a clever woman who had never seen a real big scene. The troop deployment she had made in advance was already the limit of her ability.

Lynn's double-team and fake flag completely messed up her thoughts.

In the military camp outside the city, the sharp-eyed Lao Er naturally discovered Bova's presence.

After receiving the news, Lin En first looked at the panel and confirmed that Bova's loyalty had increased to 95 points.

Then he quickly walked to the edge of the military camp and immediately saw Bova riding his horse towards the west wall.

A guard on the city wall handed down a rope, obviously to pull him into the castle.

Lin En only had more than a hundred soldiers at hand, and could only block the city gate. It was difficult for him to take care of the other three directions, which gave Bova an opportunity to take advantage of.

During this time, archers from the barbarians kept trying to shoot him off his horse, but they couldn't hit him at all.

After all, the longbows used by the archers were quick-made products that had not been trained for a long time. Their range was limited to within two hundred meters, and their lethality in the last hundred meters was extremely limited.

Bova drew his sword and cut off a few spent crossbows, then quickly ran to the foot of the city wall and reached out to grab the hanging rope.

"Two more ropes to pull my horse up!"

Even now, Bova still thinks about his beloved horse.

He had just picked up this high-quality brown warhorse from Sanhe City last year, and it cost him a full seventy-six Northern Gold Shields!
It is the total income of his Cavaliers in the past two years.

The service life of a warhorse usually did not exceed ten years.

Bova has changed two horses during his knightly career. This beloved horse will accompany him throughout his final knightly career and will also be passed on to his son, so he is reluctant to throw it away.

Two more ropes were quickly thrown down from the city wall, and Bova immediately began to tie up his mount.

But at this moment, Lynn picked up the longbow, drew the bow and put the arrow on it. The arrow flew across a distance of two hundred meters and accurately brushed past the top of Bova's helmet.

The sharp sound of metal scraping startled Bowa, and he turned around suddenly, looking directly into Lin En's dark, sharp eyes. Bowa was stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, he was not stupid and soon realized that Lin En's arrow was to help him confirm his identity and completely clear his suspicion.

It also contained an implicit threat, warning him to act according to the plan.

At the same time, the two feudal knights on the city wall also noticed the presence of the enemy sharpshooter and the arrow that almost took Bova's life.

The two knights shouted at the same time: "Hurry up and bring Bovara up!"

The castle defenders were stunned and said, "But his horse."

Flora clutched the hem of her skirt and shouted towards the city: "Don't worry about the horse, Bova. I'll give you one after we defeat the enemy!"

Bova pulled the rope tight, raised his head and roared, "Pull me up quickly, I don't want the horse anymore!"

Just as he finished speaking, the second arrow pierced into the spot where he had just stood. If the two guards had not pulled hard, he would have been pierced through by this arrow.

His beloved horse was frightened and neighed.

And Bova stepped hard on the cracks between the bricks of the city wall and climbed up the wall as quickly as possible with the help of a rope.

As soon as he regained his footing, he looked towards the city wall in shock, only to see his beloved horse running towards the field in fright and being quickly restrained by two "enemy" soldiers.

The good news is that his beloved horse is safe and sound.

The bad news is that if he doesn't play the role of an insider, he will never be able to catch this horse again.

Flora witnessed the whole process of Bova's "escape from death", and the last trace of doubt in her mind was completely dispelled.

The signal smoke had been burning for nearly an hour, and in the entire territory, only Bo Wa could reach the castle.

In order to enter the city, he risked his life and gave up the expensive warhorse he had just bought last year.

If he is not a loyal minister, who is?

Seeing that Bova had successfully climbed up the city wall and his soldiers had caught his horse, Lin En smiled and threw the longbow to the barbarian archer next to him.

"This bow is useless. Change it."

On the panel, Bova's loyalty has jumped to 97 points.

As the arrows stopped shooting, the castle gradually became quiet inside and outside, and the entire battlefield was filled with an eerie tranquility.

The defenders of the castle were waiting for support, and Lynn was also waiting for support.

In the end, he was the first to receive reinforcements.

The third brother led eighty soldiers and slowly drove along the flat road to the west side of the castle.

Lin En checked the accounts with him and found that they didn't match.

"You captured him alive, Henryk. Where's the knight from White Oak Village?"

The third brother replied truthfully, "When I arrived at White Oak Village with my soldiers, I only saw levies. The knights and squires were not in the manor. They were said to have come to the castle to provide support."

He left twenty soldiers in each of the two villages he captured.

The progress of the fourth brother was probably about the same, because the black smoke in the northwest direction had been extinguished, which meant that the fourth brother had occupied both villages as planned and captured or eliminated the garrisoned knights.

However, there are more than a dozen villages within the Shallow Beach Territory, and Lin En cannot take care of all of them with just the troops he has.

Lin En immediately came to a conclusion: "Then they hid or ran away, what a bunch of cowards."
