General Husi's actions were not slow either. A few days later, a two-thousand-strong army set off from the Golden Eagle Country and headed towards White Stone City.
Mobilizing the army so quickly was partly due to General Husi's swift and decisive actions, and partly due to the King's request.
This time, the Golden Eagle Country mobilized its army not only because of White Stone City's provocation.
In fact, after that incident, the King and General Husi had analyzed why White Stone City, who had signed the agreement last year, would change its attitude so drastically this year.
Combined with the information brought back by the envoy, they believed that the reason was this year's pest disaster. Obviously, White Stone City had also been affected, so they did not want to hand over their food.
For this reason, they would rather break the agreement and provoke the Golden Eagle Country in public.
From this, it could be seen that White Stone City had been forced into a corner.
However, this had nothing to do with the King of the Phoenix Country. To the Golden Eagle Country, the fate of White Stone City did not matter to them. However, the Golden Eagle Country dared to directly reject and break the agreement. If they did not teach them a lesson, the other countries might follow suit.
If every country had the same thought and refused to honor the treaty they had signed with the Golden Eagle Country, then what was the point of the Golden Eagle Country's hard work in showing off their military might and fighting for their reputation?
That was why the King of the Phoenix Country mobilized his army so quickly. He wanted to show the other countries the price of resisting him!
White Stone City had to be completely destroyed!
Of course, other than this, the Golden Eagle Country did not have much food left due to the pest disaster. If they could not harvest their food during winter, then most of the people in the Golden Eagle Country would have to spend the winter with empty stomachs. As for how many of them would survive, it was hard to say.
Originally, the other countries' resistance had already made the Phoenix King very angry. He even had the idea of directly sending troops to attack one or two countries. Now that White Stone City had come knocking on his door, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity.
The king's officials were well aware of the current situation, so when the king sent out his troops, none of them objected. After all, nothing was more important than having a full stomach.
Many countries had sent envoys to the Golden Eagle Country, and this time, the Golden Eagle Country did not intend to hide the fact that they had launched an attack. Hence, not long after, many people knew about this — — White Stone City tore up the agreement they signed with the Golden Eagle Country, refused to pay their share of taxes, and even chased the envoy of the Golden Eagle Country out.
This incident caused a huge uproar in the entire Golden Eagle Country. The citizens of the Golden Eagle Country were naturally furious with this small country that refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. They clamored to teach them a lesson.
The emissaries of the other countries were trembling with fear. They could almost guess why Baishi refused to pay its share. Perhaps everyone had similar thoughts, but this kind of thing could only be said and not done.
But now, White Stone City had broken the agreement and the Golden Eagle Country's army was marching in. Based on the Golden Eagle Country's strength, White Stone City was doomed.
White Stone City was doomed!
At this moment, General Husi had the same thought. He rode on his warhorse and looked at the 2,000 elite soldiers in front of him in high spirits.
These were the 2,000 elite soldiers that the king of the Golden Eagle Country had sent to him. Even in the Golden Eagle Country, their combat power was top-notch.
General Hu Si was certain that it would take no more than five days for these people to deal with Baishi City to determine the outcome of the battle.
The king of the Golden Eagle Country had already given him an order. After breaking through the gates of White Stone City, they were to take everything that could be looted.
As for the civilians and captives, they were to be brought back to the Golden Eagle Country as slaves. This was to alleviate the current manpower shortage in the Golden Eagle Country.
General Husi had also promised the king of the Golden Eagle Country that he would return triumphantly in ten days at most!
To General Husi, defeating White Stone City did not require much time. In fact, the time spent on the road might be more than the time needed to defeat the enemy.
This time, among the 2,000 soldiers, he also brought 300 cavalry. Although he did not think that White Stone City needed to use these elite cavalry, it was better to be safe than sorry.
After all, since the enemy had chosen to fall out with the Golden Eagle Country, they must have expected the Golden Eagle Country to attack White Stone City. Therefore, these cunning bastards would definitely be prepared.
General Husi did not think that the soldiers of White Stone City could fight against the elites of the Golden Eagle Country head-on. Therefore, it was very likely that they would set up an ambush and trap. This was what he was most wary of.
Although General Husi had already raised his guard by 120%, when they entered the border of White Stone City, everything in front of them was very strange.
The surrounding farmland had already been harvested, but not a single grain of food could be seen in the granary. Not only that, when General Husi sent scouts to search around, the information he received was that there was no one in the villages on the outskirts of Baishi City.
This made General Husi puzzled. If those people heard that the Golden Eagle Country was coming, it was not unreasonable that they ran away. However, the scouts reported that the tableware and other things in the houses in the nearby villages were still there, and there were no signs of them being taken away.
This made General Husi a little puzzled. Logically, even if they were fleeing, they should have brought something with them.
One or two careless people could be forgiven for forgetting, but these few villages reported the same thing. Could it be that these people had collectively gone crazy?
The current White Stone City was very strange. This also proved that Hu Si's guess was right. White Stone City was obviously prepared for their arrival.
However, he still could not figure out what was going on with these people … Did they take away the people in the nearby villages?
Or did these people run away on their own?
Hu Si was puzzled, but if he could not figure it out, he would not think about it. No matter what, the scouts reported that there was no ambush within a radius of a hundred miles, so Hu Si did not have to worry about falling into the enemy's ambush.
Although he did not know what White Stone City was doing, as long as he directly attacked White Stone City and took it down, then there would be no problem!
Thinking of this, Hu Si decisively issued an order to move forward.
But it didn't take long before he suddenly saw a few scouts in front of him, whipping their horses and running over while panting.
"General, Sir General!!"
"What's wrong?
What happened? "
Looking at the anxious appearance of the scouts in front of him, Hu Si seemed very calm. The current situation of White Stone City was very strange, so it was not surprising for them to show a little tail now.
But what he didn't expect was that in the face of his question, the scouts gave out orders for a long time. Finally, the old scout who was the leader let out a sigh of relief and stepped forward to speak to General Husi.
"Sir General, we found something very strange outside the White Stone City gate, and the reaction of White Stone City is also very strange … This, we don't know how to explain it. In short, you'd better go and check it out yourself."
"Oh?"
Hearing the words of the old scout, General Hu Si was also curious.
The scouts under him were all experienced elites who had fought alongside him for many years.
What kind of scene had these guys not seen? At this moment, they actually showed such an expression, which really made General Hu Si feel a little curious.
So he did not think much and quickly nodded.
"Okay, lead the way. I want to see what kind of tricks White Stone City has prepared to welcome us!"
Even though that was what he said, when General Huss arrived at the frontline and saw the White Stone City and the strange things blocking it, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
What the hell is this?
