If only Duncan had a more elite cavalry and larger numbers, he dared to try to take the enemy general's head amidst thousands of troops.

Exeter.

A thunderous cheer erupted.

After entering the town, the first thing Duncan did was put on the lord's armor, stripped from the Duke of Dingtiger, then gathered the Duke's knight guards to form a cavalry unit of over thirty elite riders.

Because, from the God's perspective, he already saw another Saxon army on its way.

——Hosa [Leader] [Chieftain] [Odin's Gaze] [Legend] (Two-Star Gold)!

.........

Hosa was now very angry.

He hailed from one of the Germanic branches, the Jutes, roughly from the area around Denmark.

The Jutes were the first Germanic barbarians to migrate and invade Great Britain. Later, the Saxons and Angles joined in, forming a force that occupied the southern part of Great Britain.

Originally, he should easily have inherited his brother Hengist's throne, but due to the meddling of the Anglo-Saxons, Hosa had to divide the land with his nephew. These troublemakers obviously wanted to split the Jutes, but left Hosa helpless, gnashing his teeth in frustration.

Historically, after the decline of the Jutes, the Saxons led a racial purge, and the Jutes were among the victims.

"Completely annihilate the Duke of Dingtiger and use the victory's might to force them into submission!"

Hosa didn't want a civil war.

In today's Great Britain, the Celts still had the numerical advantage. If a barbarian civil war were to break out, Hosa and his brother's years of effort would be utterly destroyed. The Saxons were systematically executing the first step of ethnic cleansing on the island, which simply put, involved getting the British women pregnant with their offspring, gradually turning the natives into history.

The specific operation process can be referred to as the American eradication of Native Americans.

During these decades of invasion, there might still be many British natives in other areas, but around Kent, the cleansing and assimilation were almost complete.

"Enfiss was defeated?"

Hosa, traveling under the escort of the chieftain's guards, changed his expression, revealing anger: "Useless!"

"Didn't he assure me he could capture Exeter?"

Enfiss started as a Saxon pirate, early invaders of Great Britain, pirating all around. Once they had people, money, and territory, they gradually transformed into British noble warlords.

Additionally, the land promised by the Duke of Dingtiger to Duncan, Southampton, was originally Enfiss's territory.

He also controlled White Island.

A nearby barbarian general laughed and ridiculed: "Perhaps Enfiss wasted too much energy on virgins."

"Does he no longer have the strength to pick up a weapon and fight?"

The barbarian messenger's face was flushed with anger, gritting his teeth: "The Duncan who allegedly killed the founding monarch appeared."

"He led over ten riders that scattered our archers."

"Caused chaos."

"Lord Enfiss led the chieftain's guards in pursuit, but two were shot dead by him, and he even killed the lord's warhorse."

A deathly silence fell.

People around exchanged glances and couldn't help but look at Hosa ahead. During this time, Duncan's reputation had grown tremendously.

Shooting a founding monarch was already a major event, and with Avalon covertly fanning the flames behind Duncan, although the Celtic mythology was declining, they still held some power on Great Britain. The Druid priests wielded significant influence over native tribes, and once the news spread, Duncan's fame would resound across Great Britain.

"Duncan!!!"

Hosa's expression was full of hatred. No matter how he fought for the throne with his nephew, the relationship with his brother was genuine. The two brothers invaded together, establishing the foundational kingdom of Kent, a bond of life and death.

His brother was incredibly powerful, one of the top warriors among the Germanic barbarians, yet he died so unjustly.

A ballista pierced his chest, and he held on for half an hour before passing away.

"Accelerate the entire army!"

"Surround Exeter immediately," Hosa decisively ordered.

Exeter wasn't a fortress of the Cornwall region; its defenses weren't so sturdy. If they could besiege the enemy inside, perhaps they could kill Duncan to avenge his brother.

This time, Hosa gathered about 3000 men, and with Enfiss's Saxon pirates, they had over 5000 forces.

Exeter.

After taking over the army here, Duncan immediately ordered the soldiers to dismantle houses and repair the wooden walls on all sides.

The Duke of Dingtiger conscripted a force of over 2000 troops, and after a small defeat yesterday, they had about 1500 to 1600 men left. As long as they held out until tomorrow, when Kvito's troops arrived, Duncan would have over 2000 men, barely able to face Hosa's army head-on.

In fact, on Great Britain, the native population still predominated, but in actual military confrontations, the Britons were always on the weaker side.

"This time there's no ballista, I'll have to find an opportunity myself."

Duncan was inspecting the city defenses; Exeter had nothing more than wooden walls over three meters high, incapable of stopping a large army, and lacked any decent fortifications, just a few watchtowers serving as meager defenses.

He urgently promoted Kulin as the commander of the British Legion, reorganizing the troops to concentrate the main forces.

Night fell.

Hosa had already surrounded Exeter with his army. Unlike the previous engagement, this time Duncan noticed some special units.
