Come to another world and become a lord

Chapter 163 Yasha's Final Decision

When Yasha heard the news that Carl continued to move westward to attack Berti Territory, she was stunned and didn't know what to do for a while. In her prediction, the enemy should move eastward as soon as possible to lift the siege of Fengzhu Castle, but everything was beyond her expectations, and everything did not go according to the original plan.

"He is... planning to attack our homeland?" The girl's voice was trembling as she spoke. "He doesn't care about Fengzhu Castle anymore?"

"He knows very well that we don't have the ability to attack by force. It may take us a year or two to capture the city by siege." Farand said on the side. His tone seemed very leisurely, as if he was an outsider. "But on the contrary, at the speed he took over the two cities before, if he keeps this speed, in a month, no, maybe just half a month, I'm afraid your capital will be captured."

"We can't let him go any further, we must rush to the rescue immediately!" Yasha shouted, "We still have the advantage in numbers, and we may not lose in a head-on battle."

"I don't agree~" Farand said, "My opinion is to evacuate from the South Fortress immediately. Your troops can go back to Doronso and block his advance locally."

"Take a detour?" Yasha shouted with eyes wide open, "If he is really as fast as you said, then this detour will ruin everything!"

"At worst, we can just give up the capital~" Farand replied.

"That's easy for you to say! This is not your territory!" Yasha shouted, and then she paused and said, "Let's rush back now. If he dares to attack the city, we will attack him from behind. There is still time!"

"Sorry, we quit." Farand said suddenly.

"What did you say?" Yasha widened her eyes again and glared at Farand.

The latter yawned as if nothing had happened and continued:

"This battle has exceeded our expectations. You originally promised that we could take the territory for free without losing a single soldier, but now we have to fight with so many cavalrymen on the opposite side. This is not what we want." Fland said.

"So you want to betray us now?" Victor couldn't help it and shouted. He knew very well what would happen to him once the allied forces were disbanded. As a traitor of Lord Morgan, he had no way out.

"Betrayal? Don't put it so harshly. I helped you out of kindness. After all, we have never been allies."

"You!" Victor's face turned blue.

"Frande." At this moment, Campbell, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

"Lord Campbell, what do you want me to do for you?" Farland immediately bowed and asked.

"Let's go, stop talking nonsense with them."

"Yes~ Lord Campbell~"

"You, you can't leave, you..."

Victor wanted to go forward and say a few more words, but he saw Campbell suddenly turned around and glared at him with cold eyes. He was frightened for a moment. The eyes of that monster that was more than 3 meters tall seemed to be able to kill people. He swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. In the end, he just watched the two people leave without even daring to breathe.

Dongfang Yao had been sitting cross-legged on the ground. He watched the two of them leave, then looked up at Yasha:

"What to do next?"

"Next..." Yasha covered her head with her hands and shook it twice, then she cheered herself up and said, "Next, the entire army will march west to pursue Carl! We can't let him continue to act recklessly, and Captain Bertie must not be lost!"

"I'll listen to you~" Dongfang Yao nodded and said.

Yasha nodded. It's okay. She comforted herself in her heart. At least nothing happened to Count Ford. Especially that useless baron named Langman, who only knew how to take a nap every day and ignored the army. It was thanks to the useless man that she could fully control all of Ford's troops. She still had more than 4000 people and nearly 200 knights. She could still fight against Karl's troops! It's okay, Yasha. There's still a chance!

"Frande~" After leaving Yasha's tent, Campbell called Frande again in a low voice.

"Yes~ Lord Campbell~" The young man in white nodded respectfully.

But I heard Campbell whisper:

"Karl wrote to us to negotiate."

"The requirement is ..."

"Withdraw from Morgan Territory, return the occupied land, and hand over the traitors. By the way, cut off Yasha's escape route to the south." Campbell replied.

Fland rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment before asking:

"What do you think, sir?"

"I'd rather hear your opinion," Campbell replied.

"Except the last one, everything else is fine," said Farand.

"You want to save Yasha."

"It's in our interest to keep her alive." Farand paused here and continued, "If she is willing to retreat, we can provide her with a way back. But if she insists on chasing Carl to rescue him... then I'm sorry."

"In fact, there is another way. We can concentrate all our forces and march eastward to help Sirod attack the North Fortress. Once the pass is opened and the two armies meet, the chess game will be ready." Farand said, "But this strategy is too risky. It means we have to give up Candlelight Keep and allow Carl and Alia's troops to meet. They will definitely fight us before that, and will also take the opportunity to block our way back south... 800 rangers, plus nearly a thousand defenders of Candlelight Keep... If we lose, we will be doomed."

At this point, his tone suddenly changed, and he said lightly:

"Why should we take this risk?"

Campbell also nodded in agreement, and then he asked:

"Then what happens next?"

"Now there is only one way left, the best strategy I mentioned..." Farand muttered to himself, dragging out the syllables.

"Alarm the king? But what good will it do us?" asked Campbell.

"No, but we can protect ourselves. If Carl continues to win, the North will have a new Duke." Farand said.

"That's not impossible." Campbell replied expressionlessly.

"That's true." Farand laughed, "But if possible, I would rather that person be you."

"So, we should ask the king?"

"Not us~" said Farand.

"not us?"

"That's right. There's no need for us to get involved in this. Once Yasha is defeated, Xiluo De will definitely be unable to sit still. He is the one who needs to save himself the most. So, why should we do this?"

"Hmm..." Campbell fell into deep thought, "But I don't think the king's interference can stop Carl."

Farand replied:

"If this is true, then he is the well-deserved Duke of the North."

Campbell nodded. Yes, if this didn't work, then the only option left was surrender.

As night fell, the sky was filled with stars, like bright gems. The starlight fell on the earth, and the stars set off the huge dark figure of Wilsenburg in the distance.

At this time, Yasha's army was marching on a small path near the woods not far away. The sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the silent night, accompanied by the slight rustling of leaves. The soldiers forced themselves to move forward.

Although the troops were not in good condition, Yasha was not worried at all. She knew that Karl had led the army westward. The defenders of Wilsenberg were few in number and not to be feared. Now she had only one goal, to bypass this place quickly and return to her own territory.

In the middle of the team, there was a carriage moving slowly forward. The carriage was exquisitely carved and inlaid with gold and silver decorations, which was extremely luxurious. Needless to say, it was Langman's carriage, which also came with the team. The silk curtains hanging from the windows fluttered slightly, revealing a hint of mystery.

They walked along in silence, everything was so peaceful, until something was suddenly thrown out from the woods and landed in the front of the queue. Several soldiers looked down curiously and saw something they had never seen before, an iron-clad cylinder with a wooden handle underneath and a burning wire on the handle.

Just as they were about to get closer to observe, the thing suddenly exploded, blowing several curious soldiers away. For a moment, flames flew everywhere, fragments flew, accompanied by screams and smoke.

The sudden explosion caught everyone off guard, and the team fell into chaos for a moment.

Yasha shouted loudly:

"What happened?"

Then the sound of horse hooves rang out in the forest, and countless torches lit up at the same time. Before she could react, Carl's cavalry had already rushed out of the forest, like a black torrent, rushing towards her army. The sound of horse hooves and neighing covered the sky and attacked the chaotic soldiers.

"Yes, it's Karl! Why, why is he here?" Yasha shouted again, with a hint of despair in her voice.
