The sun gradually rose over the eastern horizon.

The warm dawn spread all over the earth and illuminated all things.

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, rebel camp outside the city, main formation.

At dawn, Allen stood on top of the formation, frowning and looking at Pendragon, who was surrounded by him.

Ever since the troops arrived at Pendragon City at dusk yesterday, this imperial capital, which he had seen many times before and lived in for a long time, gave him a sense of incongruity.

There is a strange feeling that cannot be explained or explained.

Pendragon was a little... too quiet.

I didn't see many soldiers patrolling at the top of the city, and I didn't hear any noise coming from the city.

Allen couldn't help but have a question - has the Britannia Empire given up on Pendragon?

Because of the huge disparity in combat power between the enemy and ourselves, they decided to abandon Pendragon and evacuate to the safety of the western rear - this was not an impossible thing.

Allen spent the whole night with the question "Has the Central Britannia Empire given up on Pendragon?"

At dawn, Allen couldn't wait to walk out of the big tent where he lived and began to make offensive arrangements.

After a while, all the troops responsible for the attack will be in place, and then the attack on Pendragon will begin.

Whether the center of the Britannia Empire has really given up on Pendragon - the answer to this question can be known only after Allen leads the army to launch an attack.

Just as Allen was looking at Pendragon in the distance, a male voice suddenly sounded from behind Allen——

"Good morning, Alan, you got up really early."

"Good morning." Allen said in a calm tone that was neither salty nor light, "I usually get up at this time."

The owner of this male voice is none other than Ebel, the first spy of the Frank Empire.

After Allen successfully launched a mutiny on the banks of the Yeni River,

Abel and Allen briefly separated.

The reason why Ebel and Allen were briefly separated was to go to Pendragon to cause sabotage - to spread rumors that Ilsa was dead and disrupt Pendragon's popular and military morale.

The day before yesterday - when Allen and his army were about to approach Pendragon City, Ebel finally reunited with Allen, who had been away for a long time.

Ebel took a few steps forward and came to Allen's side. Side by side with Allen, they looked at Pendragon in the distance.

Looking at the majestic city in the distance, Ebel sighed in a low voice without recognition:

"Finally... our Franks' long-cherished wish will finally come true..."

"We are finally going to capture the capital of the Britannia Empire..."

"We have been waiting for this day for more than a hundred years...more than a hundred years...it is too long and too difficult..."

Allen ignored Ebel's sentiments.

He interrupted directly:

"Abel, do you know what has happened to Pendragon these days?"

Allen interrupted his emotion, and Ebel couldn't help but cast a displeased glance at Allen.

But Abel is a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs. He will not be ambiguous in handling matters related to business - especially matters related to the capture of Pendragon.

"I don't know." Ebel shrugged. "Since Gale became the regent, he has stepped up the search for spies in Pendragon City."

"With that level of manhunt, even I could easily be caught."

"So after that Gale became the regent, I left Pendragon. I hid on the outskirts of Pendragon."

"Therefore, I don't know what happened in Pendragon City since Gale became the regent."

Speaking of this, Abel paused as if he remembered something.

Then added:

"However - in the past few days, the Britannia Empire Center seems to have stepped up its efforts to evacuate citizens in the city."

"Evacuate?" Allen asked with a frown.

"Yeah." Ebel nodded, "About 20 days ago, a large number of citizens suddenly left Pendragon, and it was the government people who helped the citizens evacuate, because I saw a large number of officials and soldiers dressed up People are leading and assisting these citizens to leave Pendragon."

After Ebel's words fell, Allen murmured:

"Is the Britannia Empire Central Committee vigorously assisting the citizens in evacuating Pendragon... This is a piece of information worth noting."

…

…

When the clock's hour hand pointed to the number "7", the troops responsible for launching the attack on Pendragon finally made all preparations.

An attack on Pendragon can be launched at any time.

After learning that the troops were ready to attack, Allen did not wait any longer.

He waved the flag directly and issued the order to attack.

The army resisting the long ladder rushed towards Pendragon from all directions.

The crossbowmen also followed closely behind, ready to launch missiles at Pendragon's city and provide covering fire for their comrades.

They were originally going to the Rhineland Plain to fight the hundreds of thousands of Frank troops.

Because they were going to have a decisive battle in the wild, the army did not carry any siege equipment.

Allen only had some improvised long ladders on hand.

As for large siege equipment such as siege towers, catapults, and siege crossbows, Allen's subordinates did not have any of them.

Such large siege equipment could not be made temporarily. Therefore, Allen could only ask his subordinates to make a large number of long ladders and then use these long ladders to attack the city.

Generally speaking, relying on long ladders to attack a city, especially a large city like Pendragon, is a completely suicidal act.

However, even if there were only some long ladders on hand, Allen had enough confidence to capture Pendragon.

Because he knew that there was no military force in Pendragon that could threaten him.

Without enough soldiers, what was the use of the high and thick walls?

Soon, the siege soldiers quickly approached the walls of Pendragon and entered the shooting range of the crossbows.

However, at this moment-a strange thing happened.

After the soldiers entered the shooting range of the crossbows, no arrows were shot from the walls of Pendragon.

The walls of Pendragon were still quiet...

Allen stayed in the main camp, paying attention to Pendragon's movements.

After seeing that no arrows were shot from the walls of Pendragon, Allen's brows knitted tightly.

That brow was tight enough to pinch a mosquito to death.

Also knitting tightly was Ebel, who was standing next to Allen.

"Strange..." Ebel murmured, "Is there no garrison in Pendragon now?"

Allen did not speak.

He continued to knit his brows tightly, staring at the extremely quiet Pendragon in the distance.

Allen's troops arrived at the foot of Pendragon without any injuries.

Then each long ladder was smoothly placed on the walls of Pendragon.

Afterwards, the soldiers could not wait to climb up the walls of Pendragon along these long ladders.

After climbing up the walls of Pendragon, they were surprised to find that there was no one on the walls.
