"Tomorrow? A decisive battle outside the city? Baron Soto, please forgive me, is your decision too hasty?"

When it comes to his own interests, Bauer no longer cares about the courtesy between nobles and said bluntly:

"We have just experienced a major defeat. The soldiers are disorganized and have no fighting spirit. If you let them go to the battlefield tomorrow, you are letting them die."

"And why would Feiyu Town abandon the city wall and choose to fight out of the city? Baron Williams is not stupid and will not be angered by a letter of challenge."

After listening to Bauer's words, Karloff next to him didn't say anything, but he nodded repeatedly in his heart.

He felt that what Ball said was reasonable. It seemed that this failure made Ball grow a lot.

Soto was not angry either, although he had the most to lose when the attack failed.

According to statistics, the casualties of the militia troops were close to two-thirds, and the Silver Leaf Knights and retinues also lost more than half.

When he just heard the report of casualties from his subordinates, Soto felt his heart bleeding.

There is no way, who made his troops the main offensive force.

But no matter how great the loss was, Soto could not complain. After all, he was the main commander and was originally responsible for the defeat of the war.

What's more, with his current strength, he can't even implement the registration.

The exhausted troops and Bulbasaur, who was in a weakened state, could not keep the two barons at all.

In addition, they had just experienced a defeat, which was when they were most vigilant. Even if Soto wanted to poison and plot, he would not be able to do it.

Therefore, Soto was forced to give up the registration and planned to use words to persuade the two barons and use their strength to attack Feiyu Town.

So he patiently explained: "My soldiers have lost their will to fight, but don't you still have your troops?"

"Our original plan was to wait for your troops to arrive in Silver Leaf Town, rest for one night, and then set off early tomorrow morning to rush to Feiyu Town."

"Originally, we thought that we had captured Feiyu Town before they arrived. They were just using it to replenish their combat power and guard against Yinghuo Town. Unexpectedly, an accidental collision allowed us to regain the troops to attack Feiyu Town. ”

"Your troops are all knights. Without the burden of militia and siege equipment, they should be able to reach the battlefield soon. When my soldiers see reinforcements coming, they will regain their fighting spirit. The strength of our troops will not weaken. On the contrary, it will be enhanced.”

Bauer frowned slightly as he listened to Soto's explanation.

To be honest, he didn't really want his Cavaliers to go to war.

While escaping and retreating, he witnessed with his own eyes the crazy performance of the Yinghuo Town reinforcements.

Those Warcraft envoys were like crazy, fighting desperately.

He didn't want his noble knights to die at the hands of a group of mindless pariahs.

Karloff didn't express his position. He was not afraid of the reinforcements from Firefly Town.

No matter how strong the enemy is, the knights of Wudou Town will not retreat. In their eyes, death on the battlefield is the best destination.

Karloff did not express his position but just wanted to take this opportunity to raise conditions, such as command rights. He did not want to hand over his Cavaliers to Soto's command.

Who knows if Soto will let his knights die to balance the power of the three towns.

Seeing that both barons were silent, Soto couldn't help but feel angry.

He knew that these two people wanted to preserve their own strength, but what time it was now, Ryan only sent out a knight commander, and let them retreat in disgrace.

If it were delayed for a while longer, by the time Ryan came back from the sea, this war would still be in vain. He might as well surrender the city!

Soto took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

He tried to use a gentle tone and said: "I know you are worried about the casualties of your troops, but don't forget that my troops suffered heavy losses, and the enemy is not much better!"

"Their Warcraft envoys have almost lost all of them. Although the knights have suffered few casualties, their strength is uneven, and they do not have the madness of the Warcraft envoys who are not afraid of death. They are an opponent we are all too familiar with."

"The knights from our three towns join forces and are enough to defeat them easily!"

Bauer touched his chin when he heard this. He always felt that this sentence sounded familiar. Did Soto say something similar before the war started, about how the Silver Leaf Knight could easily defeat the enemy's Warcraft user?

Before Baldur could think more, Soto's voice came to his ears:

"Both of you are smart people. You don't know what it means to have Yinghuo Town's garrison in Feiyu Town, right?"

"I really don't know, do you mean I'm not smart?" Karloff had an indignant expression on his face.

Soto shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, isn't this nonsense!

Of course, he would not say what was in his heart, but explained with a smile:

"No, no, no, I just think that Baron Karloff's wisdom is all used in combat. You disdain these conspiracies, so you haven't figured it out yet."

"It doesn't matter, I can help you analyze it. Ryan has stationed troops in Feiyu Town early, which shows that he has been coveting our territory for a long time."

"Just like I said when I made the plan, if we don't capture Feiyu Town before he comes back, then he will definitely bring the war to our territory!"

"When the time comes, the knights you are reluctant to send to the battlefield will all become Ryan's bag and be used by him in other wars. The Iron Thorn Knight on the battlefield is the best example. You should all have seen it."

Listening to Soto's well-founded analysis, Ball felt a little shaken, but he still felt lucky:

"The garrison of Feiyu Town may not be sent by Ryan in advance, maybe Williams asked for help from Yinghuo Town overnight?"

Soto nodded slightly: "It is possible, but Yinghuo Town immediately sent troops to assist Feiyu Town as soon as it received the news. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

"Ryan is very hostile to us, so he issued an order to support Feiyu Town at any time before leaving."

Bauer continued to ask: "How do you know that Ryan issued the order before leaving?"

Soto tried to look at Bauer with a useless look: "Do you think that without Ryan's order, a clerk can mobilize the knights in the territory and command the knight commander without authorization?"

"That's right, Ryan really had a plan." Bauer suddenly realized.

"That's right, otherwise he wouldn't send people to explore the information of Yinye Town. In short, this Baron Ryan is ambitious, and he will take action against us sooner or later." Soto said firmly.

He did not mention that he started the war, nor did he say that the main purpose of this war was to take Feiyu Town to protect Yinye Town.

Soto's words were full of the word "we" in order to drag Bauer and Karlov into the water.

However, he still had a certain basis for what he said. Everyone knows that the lips and teeth are cold, which is also an important reason why Karlov wanted to form an alliance with him even if he saw through Soto's tricks.

Seeing that Ball was still hesitating, Soto struck while the iron was hot and said:

"Although my troops suffered heavy losses, this was all caused by my underestimation of the enemy and improper command, so I will not compensate myself."

"However, you are different. No matter what, your troops have protected Silver Leaf Town. As the lord of Silver Leaf Town, I will not let you pay in vain."

"As long as you are willing to send out all the knights, you can ask for any conditions."

Ball's eyes lit up: "Oh? Really?"

Soto nodded: "I am a baron after all, how could I lie to you."

"Okay, then in addition to the spoils on the battlefield, I want one-third of Williams' private treasury. After defeating Baron Ryan, I ask to share the blueprints of the seal treasure!"

Ball said with a lion's mouth, his eyes full of greedy desire.

Soto raised his eyebrows and sneered in his heart.

You really dare to ask for it. You haven't met Ryan yet, and you've already started to think about the seal treasure.

With such a big appetite, you are not afraid of bursting your stomach!

But Soto had no intention of refusing. Anyway, what Ball wanted was only future benefits.

Let’s not talk about whether they can defeat Ryan. Even if they can win, Ball may not survive.

What? Why is Soto so sure?

Just kidding, it’s hard to make a person alive (Player: Is it hard?), but it’s not easy to make a person die!

Soto agreed without hesitation.

Ball felt a little regretful when he saw this. He felt that his conditions were too few. He wanted to raise two more, but he was embarrassed to say it out loud because of the nobles’ face. His expression was particularly tangled.

Soto turned his head and looked at Karlov: "Baron Karlov, what are your conditions?"

"I am the same. I can’t be worse than the conditions of that cowardly Ball, and I want to command the fighting knights myself. I don’t trust you."

Karlov obviously didn’t believe in Soto’s command ability, but Soto was not angry when he heard this, but was relieved.

Karlov just kept silent and let Bauer have a verbal confrontation with him, which made Soto a little suspicious of him.

It seems that Karlov is not as reckless as he imagined. Has he been hiding his true character? This is a bit scary!

But after listening to Karlov's conditions, Soto gave up this idea.

In his opinion, Karlov's performance just now was just venting his dissatisfaction with him. The other party believed that it was because of Soto's command that he lost the battle.

That's why Karlov was upset and didn't want to talk, and at the same time he didn't forget to ask Soto for the right to command.

Thinking of this, Soto smiled indifferently. He felt that he was too nervous and a little suspicious.

Everyone knows that there are reckless people in Wudou Town. How could Karlov hide his calculations?

"Baron Karlov doesn't trust my command ability, but I did lose the battle today. It's normal that you don't believe me. I promise you that you will command the fighting knights yourself."

"But the overall tactical strategy still has to be decided by me. I don't say retreat, and you can't lead the knights to retreat privately." Soto said seriously.

Karlov snorted coldly: "Who are you looking down on? As long as you don't run, I won't run. Don't compare me with the coward on the opposite side!"

"What did you say?!" Ball said angrily.

"Am I wrong? I don't know who has been asking for help today and threatening us with running away. It's even more cowardly than a coward!" Karlov said disdainfully.

"You!"

"Okay, stop talking. Baron Ball has a hard time today. His opponent is the experienced Baron Williams, not to mention that Williams's monster can restrain his giant Swampert. He can hold on for so long, which is already very good."

Soto tried to smooth things over, but what he said was a bit strange, which reminded Ball of the other party's words "You can hold on for three minutes, which is already very good" when he was having a tryst with a noble lady before.

Damn, three minutes is too insulting. Counting the undressing and foreplay, it should be at least five minutes!

Ball became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it, and could only change the subject:

"Speaking of which, Baron Soto has not answered another question of mine. How can you be sure that Williams will go out of the city to fight?"

"Because."

Just as Soto was about to answer, there was a commotion outside the tent, and then a knight ran into the tent in a hurry.

"You rushed into the tent without even asking for permission. Is this what I usually teach you? Get out and ask for permission!"

Soto shouted angrily with an unhappy face. If he was the only one in the tent, he might not care.

But there were two other barons in the tent, and he didn't want to make fun of them.

"But." Silver Leaf Knight wanted to explain a few more words, but was interrupted impatiently by Soto.

"No buts, get out!"

"Yes!"

The Silver Leaf Knight had no choice but to leave the tent and asked outside:

"Lord Soto, I have important news to report to you, can I come in?"

"Well, come in and tell me."

After getting Soto's consent, the Silver Leaf Knight walked into the tent again, first gave a knight's salute to the three barons, and then reported:

"Report to Lord Soto, the enemy sneaked into our camp under the cover of night. They attacked the knights who were resting and set fire to the tents. Now the camp is in chaos and there is a risk of explosion!"

Soto didn't take the news reported by the knight seriously, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

At the end, he stood up and roared loudly:

"What? The troops are going to blow up the camp. Why didn't you say it earlier for such an important matter!"

"Didn't you ask me to go out and ask again?" The Silver Leaf Knight said aggrievedly.

Soto was speechless and could only transfer all his anger to the enemy:

"A group of Lada who only dared to appear in the dark actually dared to attack my camp. I must chop off their heads and make them all into wine glasses!"

After that, he kicked over the table in front of him and walked out of the tent with gritted teeth.

"Baron Soto, do you want us to help?" Ball's mouth corners could not help but rise.

For some reason, he especially liked to see Soto's frustrated look.

Soto glanced at Ball and said in a cold tone:

"It's up to you, but if you blow up the camp, the enemy is likely to take the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, and then Baron Ball will have to trouble Williams."

When Ball heard this, his smile froze immediately.

"Ahem, well, as your allies, how can we just stand by and watch, right, Baron Karlov."

"Hmph, coward!"

"You"

"Shut up, come with me if you want to help, stay in the tent if you don't want to help, don't make trouble for me!"

Soto waved his hand to stop their quarrel and led the way out of the tent.

Bauer and Karlov glared at each other and followed them out.

As soon as they walked out of the tent, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
