Chapter 753: Hostage the Northern Territory General Administration (Part 1)
It was late at night when Humphrey returned to Baidi City with his and Su Cheng's joint letter and the battle plan for the "Aurora" offensive.
After saying hello to his colleagues at the Northern General Administration and telling them that he, Humphrey, was back, Humphrey went straight back to his room and prepared to go to bed.
After changing his clothes and preparing to go to bed, Humphrey put his and Su Cheng's joint letter and the battle plan for the "Aurora" offensive in the cabinet beside the bed and locked it with a key.
Because it was too late now, Humphrey planned to wait until tomorrow morning to send someone to deliver these two things to Pendragon.
After putting these two things in place, Humphrey lay down on the bed with peace of mind and covered himself with a quilt.
Humphrey didn't know.
At this time, there was a troop that didn't even have a torch, lurking in a forest outside Baidi City...
...
...
Baidi City, in a forest outside Baidi City.
"El, are you really serious?"
"We have already come to the outskirts of Baidi City, Gabriel, do you still think I am joking?"
Gabriel hugged his head and looked at El with disbelief.
"El, are you really going to capture Baidi City and hold the Northern Frontier General Administration hostage?!"
After looking at the map for nearly an hour and thinking for nearly an hour, although El did not come up with a brilliant plan to rescue everyone in the Aighar Corridor, he came up with a brilliant plan to rescue some people in the Aighar Corridor and the Muhavitz Fortress.
That is to attack Baidi City! Hold the Northern Frontier General Administration hostage!
Take Humphrey and others from the Northern Frontier General Administration hostage and negotiate with Su Cheng.
Use the hostage Humphrey and others to exchange for some people trapped in the Aighar Corridor and the Muhavitz Fortress.
This is El's plan.
Hold the important officials of the Northern Frontier General Administration hostage to exchange for some people trapped in the Aighar Corridor and the Muhavitz Fortress.
Although this move could not save all the people, it could at least save some of the senior elites in the army, so that the battle would not be lost too badly.
After quietly lurking in a forest outside the city of Baidi, El asked his soldiers to use the surrounding trees to build siege ladders.
Now, enough ladders for 2,000 people have been built.
It is time to launch the attack on Baidi City.
El plans to do it tonight!
Tonight, take down Baidi City! Hold Humphrey and other important officials of the Northern Territory General Administration hostage!
When El took a final check of the siege ladder they were about to use, Gabriel asked El in a cautious tone:
"El,
What if we fail to successfully capture Baidi City, or fail to successfully capture Humphrey and others, or Su Cheng is unwilling to exchange hostages with us?"
"... By then..." El was silent for a while, smiled and raised his hand to scratch his head, "Let's return to the earth together as virgins."
...
...
2 hours later
Humphrey, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a hurried knock on the door.
"Governor! Please wake up! Please wake up!"
This was the voice of Humphrey's right-hand man, Yarlin.
"Yarlin... what's the matter...?" Humphrey, who was still in a daze, muttered in an unclear tone.
"Governor! Baidi City was attacked by unknown troops! They are about to attack the city!"
"What?!"
Hearing this news, Humphrey was quickly awakened.
He quickly took off the pink nightcap on his head, changed his clothes, rushed out of the room, and went with Yarlin to see the situation outside.
Even though they were far away, Humphrey still heard the shouts and screams coming from the city wall.
"How many enemy troops are there?!" Humphrey asked Yarlin.
"Conservatively estimated to be more than 1,000 people! They attacked the east gate of Baidi City at night! Now the enemy is about to enter the city!"
"More than 1,000 people..." Humphrey's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
The garrison troops in Baidi City, or the garrison troops, only have 150 people.
Facing an enemy force that is more than ten times larger than their own, and they launched a sneak attack at night, it is impossible to defend with just these few troops in Baidi City!
So Humphrey hurriedly said to Yaerlin:
"Hurry up and send someone to Avalon Fortress! Go to ask for help from Captain Cheng! At the same time, summon all officials of the Northern Territory General Office! Gather at the Northern Territory General Office! We must destroy some confidential documents in the General Office before the enemy attacks the Northern Territory General Office!"
"Yes!"
After Yaerlin left quickly, Humphrey remembered something very important.
The joint letter between him and Su Cheng and the battle plan for the "Aurora" offensive!
There are only so many defenders in the city. Even if they ask Su Cheng for help, Su Cheng's reinforcements will not be able to arrive in time to rescue.
The fall of Baidi City is a foregone conclusion.
Although we don't know the identity of this enemy army, there are only three possibilities for its identity.
Bandits nearby.
Peasant rebellion broke out nearby.
Xilan Army.
No bandits would take the initiative to attack such a big city. This is purely seeking death, so this enemy army cannot be bandits.
The North has been peaceful and prosperous recently, and it is unlikely that a peasant rebellion will appear for no reason, so this enemy army cannot be a peasant rebellion.
Therefore, the identity of the enemy army that is attacking Baidi City can only be the Xilan Army!
Although it is unknown how the Xilan Army penetrated into the northern border and approached Baidi City, the enemy army that is attacking Baidi City can only be the Xilan Army.
Therefore, while asking Yaerlin to send people to ask for reinforcements, Humphrey also asked Yaerlin to summon officials to destroy some confidential documents in the General Office before the Xilan Army attacked the Northern Border General Office.
Some documents in the Northern Border General Office must not be obtained by the Xilan people!
Just after issuing this order, Humphrey remembered that there were two very important things in the cabinet at the head of his bed.
These two things must not fall into the hands of the Xilan people!
Therefore, Humphrey hurried back to his room, opened the cabinet with the key, and took out the joint letter between him and Su Cheng and the battle plan of the "Aurora" offensive.
Humphrey decided to put these two things in a safer place where they would not be easily discovered by the enemy.
There is a secret compartment in the floor of Humphrey's room.
This secret compartment is very hidden. Only Humphrey knows the existence of this secret compartment in Baidi City, not even Yaerlin.
Humphrey decided to hide these two crucial things in this secret compartment.
So he opened the secret compartment and hid the joint letter between him and Su Cheng and the battle plan of the "Aurora" offensive in it.
After hiding these two things, Humphrey rushed to the Northern Territory General Office without stopping.
After dealing with these two things, there are still many very important documents in the Northern Territory General Office that cannot be obtained by the Xilan people.
He had to destroy these documents before the Xilan people attacked the Northern Territory General Office.
