Working Prophet

In addition to Solomon, there were other people who were also busy recruiting troops during this time.

It took Gwen of the Figuerola family nearly a month to barely gather enough 8,000 people.

The main reason is that the families in the Western Region really have few warriors anymore, and Gewen is unwilling to let Ilea intervene, fearing that the latter will take away the credit and limelight.

He would rather go to a vassal farther away to borrow someone, which would waste a lot of time on the way back and forth.

Of course, Herodotus will not be idle, it is said that he did the same old thing again, pulling up a new army in the multi-scale city.

And this time, it is said that it has also received the support of many nobles, but those nobles are all notorious guys without exception.

Among them, the two traitors, Hugo and Ilkander, are the most eye-catching. The latter is now called the Kingslayer by the people in the West.

In addition, there is Blanco from the Arias family. According to the Blood Moon Society, Blanco should be the real head of the Arias family.

It was just that in that fateful election, his position as Patriarch was taken away by Ilea and the Shuangxiu Cult using despicable means.

But now that the Blood Moon Society and Herodotus are making the decision for him, Blanco has confidently spoken out that he will regain the position of head of the family from his sister.

Let the people living in the green field return to the embrace of the Silver Moon Goddess again.

Although the nobles who heard this thought that the child was probably out of his mind, with Ilea's current prestige, no matter how she became the head of the family in the first place, it was obviously impossible for her to lose to her brother again.

However, seeing that so many nobles suddenly began to support the Blood Moon Society, the morale of the civilians in the city, especially the new army newly formed by Herodotus, was still boosted.

Ge Wen didn't want to wait any longer, watching Herodotus, a clown, continue to show off his might.

Therefore, although he did not pull up an army of tens of thousands as expected, and most of them were just militiamen, Ge Wen decided to lead the army to the outside of the Scaled City.

In Ge Wen's opinion, there is no reason why he cannot do what the female lord can do.

And compared to the dwarf army in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, those guys from the Blood Moon Society are just a bunch of mobs.

Herodotus was good at deceiving people, but he had never proven that he had any military talents. Every time he faced a tough battle, he would only choose to run away, and this time was probably no exception.

Moreover, the name of the Figuerola family is known to everyone in the Western Territory.

As long as the Blood Moon Society's despicable methods of poisoning and assassination can be guarded against, there won't be much suspense in this battle. Even the so-called army in the city may be surrounded by the Figuerola family's army when they hear that it has been surrounded by them. I was so scared that I surrendered.

Ge Wen's strong self-confidence made Quintus, who was accompanying him, a little confused about what to say.

He wanted to remind Gavin that Herodotus and the Blood Moon Society were no longer what they used to be, and with the lessons learned from the massacre of 20,000 people before, the new army in the city would definitely fight until the last moment.

In addition, forget about Hugo and Blanco. They are indeed not very good among the nobles, but Ilkand is a real strong general.

If he sincerely joins the Blood Moon Society, the next battle may not be easy to fight.

However, Ge Wen couldn't listen to Quintus's advice at all. As soon as he arrived at the city, he couldn't wait to start arranging the first wave of attacks.

The walls of the scaled city are strong, and Ge Wen plans to attack with his entire army early tomorrow morning, attacking from all directions. However, the army is only feigning an attack. What really determines the outcome of the battle is a vanguard group of 300 people.

As long as the next city wall can be captured, the soldiers behind can be transported up continuously until the city gate is completely captured.

Ge Wen and a dozen vassals finalized the details of tomorrow's action and then looked up to see Quintus still standing silently aside.

"High Priest Quintus, didn't you say you would contact people in the city? What happened?"

Quintus cheered up after hearing this, "I did contact a few priests, and they told me that although the Blood Moon Society controls the Scaled City, there are still people who are secretly resisting Herodotus."

"Really?" Ge Wen became interested, "How many people are there and what can they do for us?"

"There are probably one or two hundred of them. Many of them had to join Herodotus' new army in order to survive." Quintus replied.

"As long as they can stand firmly with us in this battle and show their worth, I can pardon them after the war," Ge Wen said. "If they perform well, additional rewards are not negotiable."

"They also have the will to do this, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that Herodotus has always been very good at demagogueing people. I'm worried that they have been instigated by Herodotus to rebel. This is Herodotus's trick." Quintus said frankly.

Ge Wen disagreed, "What can Herodotus give them? Let's see who will join the Blood Moon Society. A traitor from the Western Region, and a little kid who failed in the family struggle and has been wandering for several years. These are all Why would anyone else want to serve Herodotus if he was a desperate loser?”

Quintus had to admit that what Gwen said made sense. The high priest of the Silver Moon Church continued, "They are willing to secretly open a city gate for us when the war breaks out."

"Oh? Which city gate is it?"

"The little door to the south."

Ge Wen nodded, "Then I will arrange for a thousand people to wait at the south gate tomorrow. If the door opens there, we can send people to go in. If it doesn't open, it doesn't matter. We just need to seize a city wall according to the plan. The Scaled City is also in our pocket."

Quintus was born in a peasant family and had no military experience. Hearing what Ge Wen said, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him.

So early the next morning, Ge Wen launched an attack on Multiscale City as planned.

The army surged towards the city like a tide, and the militiamen braved the rain of arrows from the city and began to set up ladders and climbed to the top of the city.

Ge Wen wore armor and rode a war horse to personally supervise the battle on the front line. However, the battle situation did not go smoothly.

The tenacity of the defenders was a bit beyond Ge Wen's expectations. The guys on the wall were obviously not real warriors, but they fought with all their might, even if the enemy's swords were almost on their necks. People retreat.

There were also civilians without any armor who were also helping to pick up stones and throw them down the city. It was only after Gwen captured a few prisoners that he found out that it was because before the war started, Herodotus had performed miracles in front of the believers.

Let a stone float on the water.

This is considered to be the oracle of Bisiya, which indicates that the Blood Moon Society will win the next war.
