For him, this is just the first step. If you think you have won, that is simply a joke. You must start from the Red Dragon City and then go to Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Only when you get there and meet the emperor of the Byzantine Empire, you can be considered to have completed the second step.
The emperor of the Byzantine Empire hated the Arabs no less than the city lord. Only by gaining the emperor's trust and forming an alliance between the two countries could the third step be completed.
Of course, this third step may not necessarily keep him alive. After completing the third step, he has to take the envoy from Constantinople back to the northern camp of the Arab Empire. Marshal Sukhguman will then write a letter to send the envoy to the holy city of the Arab Empire.
If all the things are done, even if they make crazy progress every day, it will take several months or even half a year. This is the alliance between the two countries, but now when it comes to these things, they have to do it because they have no other choice.
"Blindfold him. Detain everyone except him and the two men beside him. Change horses and men along the way. Swiftly reach Constantinople. Remember the burden you bear. The city may soon collapse, but you must deliver this man to the Emperor as quickly as possible."
The city lord called in his most elite knight team, and he believed that this team could complete his instructions.
"Please rest assured, Lord City Lord, we will definitely live up to everyone's expectations, but..."
This 35-man knight squad is the most elite knight squad around the city lord. They are responsible for the city lord's safety, but if they go to Constantinople at this moment, the city lord's safety may be in jeopardy.
Outside the city, the Tang army had been conducting drills for two consecutive days, and they had also received several thousand reinforcements from the east. It was unknown why they hadn't yet begun their attack on the city, but it was likely within the next two days. Without this elite squad of knights, if the Tang army launched an attack on the city, the fate of the city lord would be...
"There aren't that many buts. We all have our own mission. From this moment on, your mission is no longer to ensure my safety. Your mission is to protect the safety of this bastard. You must not let him die before he sees the Emperor. As for my safety, there's no need to worry about it anymore. I will live and die with this city."
The city lord spoke seriously, and the knights knew that persuasion was useless. What they had to do now was to bring this guy to the capital as quickly as possible to see what the emperor really thought. At the same time, the other two cavalrymen had set off in advance. They carried the city lord's letter and rushed to the capital as quickly as possible.
Although the military advisor was wearing a black hood, he could still hear what the city lord said. He silently said a good word for this guy in his heart, but he also knew the result here. The Tang army attacked the city with that glowing and smoking thing, which could be said to be invincible.
Although the Byzantine Empire built brick and stone castles, such things were a piece of cake for the Tang army. They might waste some of them, but there was no way they could not take them down. They could only delay time.
Perhaps the city lord also understood this. After all, it was no longer a secret that the Tang army had been conducting drills outside the city these two days. When the Tang army was conducting drills, they were facing a pile of rocks. No matter how hard the rocks of your castle were, they would probably be broken in the end. This was one of the reasons why the city lord wanted to send the military advisor to the capital.
Chilong City is considered to be the city with the best defense along the way, but the city lord knows that when facing the weapons of the Tang Empire, they really have no absolute chance of winning. Even Chilong City has no chance of winning. From here all the way to the capital, I am afraid that other cities have even less chance of winning.
Report this news to His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible. Perhaps this is the only thing the city lord can do at the moment.
The knight squad said goodbye to the city lord with the highest etiquette, and then quickly drove towards the capital with this group of the most annoying Arabs.
The city lord took a deep breath, walked to the highest point of the castle, and looked at the dense crowd below. With the support from all over the place, they currently had 8,500 heavy cavalry, 6,000 ordinary cavalry, 14,000 heavy infantry, 10,000 ordinary infantry, plus some young and middle-aged people in the city, the total number exceeded 50,000.
Although there are still some support troops on the way from various places, Lord Eladoan knows very well that those people may not be of much help, as the Tang army will launch a general offensive in the next two days.
Once the Tang army launches a general attack, they will not be able to delay the war. According to the Arabs' description, the Tang army will blow up your city walls, and then their cavalry will file in through the gaps. These cavalry will also be equipped with weapons that can fire continuously. The surrounding defenders will not be able to stop them unless they are wearing heavy armor.
There are many heavy infantrymen in the city, which is also one of Eladoan's strengths.
Damn it, we should let those guys see our armor. They have fought against the Tang army many times. I don’t know if our armor can withstand the Tang army’s automatic weapons. It’s a pity that those bastards have gone far away now. We can’t call them back because of these things.
As for the Arab delegation members who stayed behind, one look at their appearance and knew that they had never fought against the most elite army of the Tang Dynasty. It was useless to rely on them. It was better to stuff them all in the cellar and only give them some life-sustaining food every day. As for other things, they would not be given any more. After all, you have made us suffer enough, and it is not easy to give you these things.
Just as the city lord was looking at the Tang army outside the city, General Sima was also looking at the city wall with a monocular telescope. The city wall here was indeed different from ours in the country and looked very beautiful, but for our artillery, it was nothing more than a matter of adding one more shell.
What really worried him were the heavy armor on the city wall.
