Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Arson and Murder

The Barnes forces arrived at the outskirts of Snow Eagle City, and in just one night, they had encircled Snow Eagle City.They sealed three sides, leaving only a gap on the West Gate side.However, they did not immediately attack the city; they seemed to be up to something.In the same military tent, the nobility of Snow Sealed County gathered once more.He huddled in his chair like a quail, not daring to breathe too heavily.Viscount Webster sat in armor, with a grave expression on his face."The Snow Swearer comes aggressively, estimated to number around two thousand, but the advantage is on our side," Webster began, his gaze sweeping over everyone."The garrison of Snow Eagle City numbers two thousand, with over a thousand knights capable of fighting.
