The next day, the Darcy Army did send people. Two cavalry divisions aggressively attacked Bern City. Unfortunately, all they were left with was an open city gate and an empty city. Arthur and the others were already dozens of miles away.
Arthur led his men to Camil City with the captives.
Aiders, who had received the news in advance, had already prepared the reception work. The captives were imprisoned, the civilians were properly settled, and the wounded soldiers were treated in time.
On the way back to their residence, Arthur held his wife's hand and told her about the results of the trip.
When she talked about how Arthur had almost wiped out the three divisions, the woman's icy blue eyes seemed to have stars in them. She looked at Arthur with her big bright eyes and a faint pride on her face.
Look, this is my man!
Women were always happier than men when their men achieved success. Even the Queen was no exception.
The next day, the surroundings of Camil City were as calm as usual.
On the third day, the Darcy Cavalry appeared a few miles away from Camil City. There were about 10,000 of them. They rode their horses to a place not far away from the city and stared at the defenders on the city with wary expressions. Not long after, a series of bugle sounds could be heard, and a dense mass of Darcy soldiers appeared a few miles away. They were the main force of the Darcy army. In just one night, the city was already covered in banners and tents. Everyone on the city wall knew that a great battle was coming.
Although the Darcy Kingdom took advantage of the fact that the Empire's northern border guards were unprepared and occupied a large area of the Empire's territory in one go, those occupied areas were not dangerous to defend against. The Bern City at the mouth of the gourd was too small and could not withstand the attack of a large number of enemies. If the Darcy Kingdom's army could not take down Camil City, the Empire would occupy Camil City and could attack or defend. Although Darcy Kingdom had occupied a lot of land, they would definitely be in a passive position. This was a very awkward situation for the Darcy Kingdom. They could not swallow the meat that was in their mouths, and they could not bear to spit it out. Not only that, even though the empire was declining, its foundation was still much stronger than the Darcy Kingdom. If this continued, it would not be long before the Darcy Army was worn out.
Therefore, Aiders was not in a hurry. What was in a hurry was the Darcy Army. In order to solve this problem and obtain a place to defend, they would definitely do their best to take down Camil City.
However, to everyone's surprise, after the Darcy Army had built a simple camp, they would only send troops to the city walls every day to ride horses, wave their weapons, and roar a few times, as if they were going to confront you here.
It shouldn't be like this. Aren't they anxious? Arthur had a feeling that something was wrong, but he could not figure it out. He could only wait and see. After all, if they took the initiative to attack, they would be in a passive position. The dynasty's army was still coming. They should not be the ones panicking. They should just sit tight.
Aiders sat in the command post on the city wall every day. A confrontation was not something as simple as two groups of people sitting separately and glaring at each other. Darcy's cavalrymen were clamoring around the city walls every day. The troops on the city walls and even within the city had to make corresponding changes according to their movements. This required the commander to make a decision. Otherwise, if the Darsi soldiers below the city ran to a section of the city wall, but there were no defenders on the city wall, or if they were not on the same level as the Darsi soldiers, could it still be called a confrontation? They might take the opportunity to attack.
Therefore, Aiders did not have it easy every day. Arthur wanted to help her share the burden, but he didn't know much about the composition of the expeditionary force. He had never met the major generals before, so he couldn't help her. However, he could not just sit around and do nothing. Helpless, Arthur took over the logistics work in Camil City and supervised it personally. It could be considered as removing Aiders 'worries.
Another night, Arthur was lying on his bed after inspecting the granary in the city.
Aiders was very busy. He came back very late every day, and the moment he came back, he would lie on the bed, exhausted and motionless. Arthur's heart ached. Every time this happened, he would give Aiders a bone massage or something. After a few days, although they didn't spend much time together and had less interaction, their relationship had deepened. They felt like an old couple.
Not long after he lay down in a daze, Arthur's peripheral vision suddenly swept across the fire reflected on the window. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he looked through the glass, he saw that half of the dark night sky outside was filled with fire, and it seemed to be in the direction of the granary in the south of the city.
Not good, something happened!
Arthur got up, grabbed his coat, and ran out. He didn't have time to think about why the granary was on fire.
At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind. If the granary really caught fire, then it would be really troublesome!
