Under the city of Gongta Grassland and Coennas, there were two consecutive major defeats, and the morale of the teaching army had dropped to the bottom.
This can be seen with the helpless expressions on Devis and others when facing the troublemakers just now. In a sense, their predictions about the end of the war were the same as those of them. What supported them to fight at this time was no longer the desire and belief for victory, but the conscience and courage.
While thinking about this, Donner came to Dean Devis.
“Sir, why haven’t they attacked the city?”
“They are waiting, waiting for more people.”
“Then how many enemies do you predict will gather together during this period?”
“There are at least 20,000 people, and they will come one after another in these two days.” Devis answered calmly.
“It may be difficult to defend with us alone.” Donner said tentatively.
“It was from here that Emperor Louis started, so let’s fight for the empire one more time here.” Dean Devis looked around, his tone a little tragic.
Donner fell silent, thinking about what to say next.
“Donner, are you afraid of death?” Devis asked suddenly.
“Sir, I don’t want to die…” Donner looked in the direction of the enemy: “Because I want to defend this city… and fight back to Coennas.”
Donner’s tone did not fluctuate much, as if he was talking about something irrelevant, but Devis was stunned.
“Now, Lord Dean, I need you to do me a favor…”
“What do you want me to do?”
“I need you to bring the people in the city to the city wall. The more the better. I will let them know that we are not going to be buried for the empire.”
Devis glanced at Donner meaningfully, turned around and walked down the city wall.
More than ten minutes later, citizens began to walk up the city wall tremblingly. At first, they did not dare to approach the outside of the city wall until they confirmed that the thorny army was just gathering in the distance.
Two hours passed, when Donner took the Youth Army down the wall, thousands of people had already stood there.
“Open the city gate.”
Donner ordered calmly, without explaining his actions. After the test of living and dying together in the war, he trusted the brothers and sisters standing by him at this time, and they also trusted him. As for Richard and Kelly, it is time for them to experience the cruelty of the war.
The city gate opened again, and the thirty-five young soldiers rode out one after another. Behind them, the city gate closed again.
The people on the city wall looked around and talked quietly.
…
The Thorn Army’s position also started to stir.
“Look, someone comes out again…”
“What are they going to do?”
“Will it be that they were deliberately seducing us to get closer?”
“Hmph, don’t bother them and continue to be on standby!”
…
“Hey, aren’t you curious? Why are we coming out? Wesley, you have nothing to ask me?” Donner led the team, stopped not far from the city gate, and turned around and asked.
“You are the boss, you have the final say.” Wesley still looked indifferent.
“You want to use sacrifice to awaken their courage?” Sarah asked.
“Okay, this is the fate of the knight!” Mino echoed.
Richard and Kelly were dragged at the end of the team, not speaking, and their faces turned red with excitement.
