The gars didn’t attack. Instead, they tried to sneak into the prison to lock themselves up. That was a good thing, as the guards of the Castle weren’t attacked.

The gars were busy defecting and sneaking into the Castle in a bid to beco famous slave warriors. Who had the ti to attack the Castle? The few gars who wanted to attack the Castle were unable to break the defenses and cause any harm.

The gars of Victoria City tried all sorts of ways to sneak into the Castle to defect, even at night.

The gars who got into the Castle weren’t released. The Duke was reluctant to kill these gars since they were fearless warriors. Where could he find such warriors?

The gars were locked in cells. Recently, more and more gars climbed over the walls, swam through the moat, and disguised themselves as commoners in a bid to get into the Castle. Within a week, the prison cells of the Castle were flooded with Victorians.

There were about 500 to 600 Victorians locked up in prison, and the number was increasing. The gars got to know more thods to get into the Castle on the discussion forum. A gar made use of the night to sneak into the prison. It was a wonder how the gar knew the location of the prison.

The next morning, the prison wardens got a fright when they noticed an extra prisoner.

They tried to confirm whether the extra prisoner was previously captured or just recently captured. However, none of the prison wardens had seen the extra prisoner before. It was as though he suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The extra prisoner said, “Please lock up. I’m willing to be your slave. Let fight for you, even if I have to do it for a lifeti.”

The prison wardens didn’t expect such a thing to happen. They had no choice but to lock him up in the prison cell.

More and more gars of Victoria City appeared in the prison cells. They even disguised themselves as female servants and other staff mbers in the Duke’s Castle so that they could be captured by the Castle guards.

On the tenth day, the small prison cells that could accommodate only 300 prisoners had 1,000 gars all cramd together. The prison guards suggested that the Duke kill so of the prisoners. Otherwise, the prison might beco a dangerous place.

The Duke wanted to fulfill his goals, so he was reluctant to kill these excellent warriors.

The gars developed a strange relationship with the Duke of York, one Queen Victoria got to know about it. She frowned and asked the three Hamsters, “What are the gars doing? Are they betraying Victoria City?”

Big Boss Hamster quickly replied, “No, my Lady. I feel it’s one of their sches. They have successfully infiltrated the Castle, and when we give the order, they can attack from within.”

Second Boss Hamster said, “That’s correct. That’s what I think too. That’s a brilliant sche. As long as we can take over the Castle, I can accept any of their sches.”

Fat Otaku said, “Can we have our al?”

Lilo nodded her head.

“What you’ve said makes sense. Let them infiltrate the Castle. When the ti is ripe, we’ll take it over,” Lilo said to the three Hamsters.

Lancelot wasn’t sure what the gars were up to when they tried to sneak into the Castle. He thought they were infiltrating the Castle to attack the Duke. However, he got to know from the gars that they were defecting.

As a Knight, it was inconceivable to defect. These gars were definitely not normal. They weren’t defecting due to fear.

What were the gars thinking? Were they planning to attack the Castle from within?

From Lancelot’s observation for the past few days, the gars weren’t planning to attack the Castle from within. Instead, they were defecting to the Duke. It was a serious case of treason, so he inford Queen Lilo, but she was nonchalant. She told Lancelot that the gars would never betray her and should never betray her.

Lancelot thought that the Queen had a hold over the gars. From his mories, every ti Lilo appeared, the restless gars would beco obedient. They wouldn’t say a word or make any moves. Instead, they would watch the Queen closely.

Lancelot had other problems, such as setting up the defenses of the Stronghold. Due to the mass defection of the gars, the Duke knew about the Stronghold’s location and sent scouts to conduct surveillance. Once the Duke discovered the Stronghold, he would want to destroy it. Fortunately, Lancelot chose a strategic location. The surrounding sides were protected by high terrain, and there was only a single entrance. It was difficult for the Castle guards to mount an effective attack against the Stronghold.

Moreover, the number of Castle guards was inferior to the number of gars. Even if 1,000 of the gars were imprisoned, there were still 3,000 gars at the Stronghold. The Duke’s scouts conducted surveillance of the Stronghold and never ca back.

Occasionally, so guards ca to keep watch on the Stronghold to prevent any surprise attacks.

Lancelot knew that the Duke didn’t have the capability to attack, but he didn’t let down his guard.

The Counts were on their way to reinforce the Duke of York and could arrive anyti. Once the Counts arrived with their reinforcents, the gars of Victoria City would lose their nurical superiority.

Though the gars wouldn’t be defeated, they would have to spend a lot more effort to take over the Castle. That wasn’t what Lancelot wanted.

Lancelot tried to persuade the Queen to attack the Castle imdiately, but she wasn’t in a hurry. She wanted to see what the gars were up to.

He could only fulfill his responsibility as a subordinate. He ordered the gars to build Siege Weapons.

The gars had a new Daily Mission to build Siege Weapons, but they were indifferent to the additional Daily Mission.

The Duke was extrely happy. He thought he was dood when he saw his Castle being sieged by the great number of Victorians. He even thought of fleeing his Castle. However, he didn’t expect the Victorians to defect to him en masse.

The Duke was overjoyed when he heard that the Counts bringing reinforcents had arrived at the boundary of the York Territory.

The plains at the boundary of the York Territory were filled tents, Knights, and their squires who were busy preparing als.

The Counts were resting in the tents. Their responsibilities included governing their lands, enjoying life, and fighting for their Lord during warti. Fighting a battle was dangerous, so the noble Counts tried to enjoy themselves as much as possible.

There were five Counts that ca to reinforce the Duke. The most capable Count was called Stead Dumpling, and he was the leader of the reinforcents.

Before they entered the York Territory, they held a war conference.

“I believe that all of you are aware that there are 5,000 enemies sieging the Duke’s Castle,” Stead Dumpling said.

Another Count asked, “I heard they were only farrs without complete equipnt. How are the farrs a threat to us?”

Another Count smiled and said, “These farrs are sieging our respectable Duke in his Castle. It seems like the Duke is too kindhearted towards the farrs.”

All of the Counts laughed, as they knew that the Duke wasn’t kindhearted. The Duke was besieged because his 3,000 Knights were killed by the farrs. This was a piece of astonishing news.

The Duke wanted to have a strong reason to attack Victoria City, so he spread the news of his humiliation. After attacking Victoria City, his Knights were annihilated. Only a handful of survivors returned to the Duke of York.

This was a piece of incredible news. After the initial shock, they laughed at the previously domineering Duke.

Due to his defeat, the Duke’s reputation was badly tarnished. Even his subordinate Counts were in contempt of the Duke.

However, they had to fulfill their responsibilities as subordinates. Stead Dumpling tapped the table lightly and said, “Gentlen, you must be thinking that the warriors of Victoria City are weak. Don’t forget that these weaklings defeated 3,000 Knights of the Duke. I’m sure you know how strong the Duke’s Knights were. Don’t underestimate the enemy, as they aren’t as simple as we thought.”

The other Counts beca solemn. They had beco too complacent.

As Stead Dumpling was about to discuss their war plans in detail, a scout ran hurriedly into the tent and said, “Great Counts, the warriors of Victoria City are closing in on our camp!”

The Counts and Barons broke into a loud discussion in the tents.

They couldn’t believe it. They furiously discussed it at length. They felt it was an insult that the farrs of Victoria City dared to launch an attack.

Stead Dumpling ordered the Counts and Barons to lead their armies and fight against the Victorians.

When they deployed their formation outside their tents, they discovered that there were only 100 Victorians, and they weren’t in formation. They weren’t on horses, wore no clothes, and held inferior clubs.

They didn’t look like scouts. Perhaps they were emissaries? The Counts and Barons didn’t order an attack, as they were confused. The Victorians stopped at a distance of three minutes of horse riding from the camp.

The Victorians pointed at the camp and chatted, but it was too far to make out what they were saying.

Stead Dumpling was getting impatient when the Victorians stood their ground. He ordered his squire to ride towards the 100-strong group of enemies with his flag.

The gars beca excited when they saw a squire on horseback coming towards them.

The Counts thought the farrs of Victoria City were fearful.

“I feel that the prowess of the farrs from Victoria City was overrated. They beca fearful after seeing our camp. When the battle starts, they’ll surely flee. I can’t imagine why the Duke was besieged and requested our help. He must have been complacent,” a Baron comnted condescendingly, and the other Barons laughed. The 100 gars rushed towards the squire and knocked him unconscious. Then, they stripped his clothing and stole his horse.

After a discussion, one of the gars rode the horse and left happily. How could the Counts endure such humiliation?

They rode out with their horses. Soon, 400 to 500 horsen dashed towards the gars.

The gars saw the approaching horsen and panicked. They started to flee from the cavalry.

How could the gars outrun the cavalry? The horsen swung their weapons and massacred the gars who were cursing, swearing in anger, and laughing. They didn’t hear any gars beg for rcy. Just like what they heard in the legends, the gars had no intention to surrender. Stead Dumpling was deeply shocked and beca silent. He had never encountered warriors with such superior willpower. There were only 100 enemies. He could imagine how terrifying it would be to fight against 5,000 of them.

He realized that the legendary Victorians weren’t overrated.

Stead Dumpling trembled, not in fear but in anticipation of an impending vicious battle. He had a strong desire to defeat such a worthy opponent!

Stead Dumpling turned his horse around and shouted to his Counts and Barons, “Prepare yourselves, we’ll launch an attack on Victoria’s Stronghold. We can’t let them besiege the Duke’s Castle. We have to diminish their arrogance.”

Everyone roared with excitent, and a large group of horsen set off from the camp towards Victoria’s Stronghold.

The massacred gars appeared at the Revival Point. They cursed and swore, then spread the news of new horsen arriving at the boundary of the Duke’s Castle and attacking them. However, the gars didn’t ntion their deeds of robbing the squire’s armor and horse. To them, it was their normal affairs. What was there to talk about?
