The sudden attack of the barbarians forced Arthur to stop. He stayed in Gomir City and was ready to deal with the invading barbarians at any time.
He had written a detailed report on the rebellion and sent it to the capital. The report stated that all the rebel soldiers and the Revolutionary Army had been wiped out. Fortunately, the Imperial Capital did not know the exact number of bandits, so it was not difficult to fool them. It was just a pity that the equipment of Nagata's subordinates would be handed over to the Imperial Capital as spoils of war.
Of course, he also wrote a letter to Aiders and the others about staying in Gomir City, telling them not to worry.
The equipment of Nagata's subordinates had to be prepared as soon as possible. A thousand well-trained and experienced soldiers were just enough to deal with the invading barbarians. For this reason, Joly spent all his time buying equipment. It was not easy to buy and transport equipment in the black market.
In the past few days, several reports of villages being attacked by barbarians had been submitted. Fortunately, the people in the village had all moved to the city, so there were no casualties.
The specific location of the invading barbarians had also been investigated, but Arthur did not intend to send troops to annihilate them. Putting aside the outcome of the battle, just thinking about the loss of 4000 soldiers against 800 tall barbarian warriors in the wilderness was enough to make his heart ache.
Therefore, Arthur decided to wait for the Nagata soldiers to arrive before finding a favorable terrain for the final battle. Since the people outside the city had already moved, he had nothing to worry about.
Every day, he would patrol the city walls as usual. However, after a short walk, Arthur frowned and stopped to look into the distance. He sensed the presence of about 500 people there.
On the horizon, tall and sturdy figures appeared. Seeing these figures, Arthur smiled. Only 500 people dared to attack the city. They were simply courting death.
"Natala, gather the guards and prepare for battle!”Arthur ordered Natara, who was accompanying him.
"Milord, what's wrong?" Natara asked in confusion.
"The barbarians are coming. There aren't many of them, only five hundred. We'll deal with them outside the city.”Arthur pointed at the barbarians and explained.
"Understood, my lord!" Natara looked in the direction that Arthur was pointing at. There were only blurry figures in his sight. He could not tell if they were barbarians or people from the Empire. However, he would not doubt Arthur's judgment. He immediately went to reorganize the troops.
"Reinforce our defenses and prepare to close the city gates at any time!”Arthur ordered the soldiers on the city wall.
"Yes, my lord!"
As Arthur had discovered the barbarians early on, the 500 barbarians only arrived at the city after the guards had gathered.
Arthur was riding a horse at the city gate. Half a horse behind him was Natara, and behind them were four rows of cavalrymen. There were 1000 of them. Their armor was bright, and the sabers in their hands were shining. This was the cavalry that Gomir City had spent a lot of money to build. Behind the cavalry unit were also four squads of soldiers. They were also 1000 heavy armored infantry.
"I'll leave the city wall to you." Arthur said to Najeta, who had rushed over after hearing the news. Then, he led the 2000 guards out of the city.
The barbarians in the distance had already formed a scattered formation. Each of them was more than two meters tall, tall and strong, and had all kinds of totems painted on their bodies. However, their weapons were very simple and crude. They wore simple animal skin strips and had no armor at all. Most of the weapons in their hands were wooden sticks and large sticks. Only a few people in front of them held iron weapons.
Under Arthur's lead, the 2000 guards quickly surrounded the 500 barbarians. Their shields fell to the ground, and the cavalrymen and infantrymen worked together to surround the barbarians. Although the territory didn't have an organized iron cannon unit, it was more than enough to deal with these barbarians.
The barbarians who were surrounded in the middle looked at the guards of Gomir City in a daze. They had plundered the surrounding towns many times, and no one had ever dared to fight them head-on. Moreover, the equipment of these people was obviously better than that of the other towns.
"Hand over the food and we won't kill you! Hand over the food and we won't kill you!" The strongest man in front of the barbarians shouted in the broken language of the Empire. Although he did not understand why these people dared to surround them, he believed that the tribe's men were not afraid of them at all. They could defeat them with a single charge.
"Surrender, I won't kill you!" Arthur smiled at the adorable men and replied with similar words.
Arthur's words made them even more surprised. Someone actually told them to surrender. Immediately, the shock turned into anger. Howls came from the barbarians. No one could make them surrender!
"Surrender, I won't kill you!" Arthur shouted again. This time, he was not joking. He really wanted to subdue these barbarians. They were tall and strong. They were natural warriors. According to Arthur's understanding, the barbarians only came out to plunder during the winter when there was a shortage of food. They did not kill civilians. Most of the time, as long as the town handed over some food, they would retreat.
"Ah! Ah!"
Arthur's words completely infuriated the barbarians. The strongest man at the front of the barbarians roared and rushed towards Arthur. The big axe in his hand flashed with a chilling light.
"Roar! Roar!"
The other barbarians didn't go forward. Instead, they patted their chests to increase their momentum and encourage the tallest barbarian.
Do you want to fight alone in front of the battle? Arthur smiled and held the Budu spirit in his hand, smashing it with the back of his sword.
