Proof of the Sun King

Chapter 65: , The Danger of City Destruction (5,500 characters)

"Follow them!" Birig raised his battle axe.

The front was gradually being pushed across the Aarhus Bridge.

Every barbarian crowded frantically on the bridge, wanting to drink more of the blood of the southerners, because only then could they have a chance to win the gaze of the dark gods.

To become champions of Chaos, to ascend to demons in endless glory, and to become true princes of demons, they must seize every tiny chance in the eternal and **** war to show the evil **** of Chaos their "usefulness" , Only in this way can they get the favor of the God of Darkness and continuously step up the ladder to ascend to the devil.

According to the previous arrangement, Nord's army seemed to be unaware of the increasingly disadvantageous situation of the battle. They retreated while fighting, and they had no awareness of defending the bridge. They just ensured that every step they took back would cost the barbarians more lives.

Finally, Nord's army withdrew from the Aarhus Bridge, and the whole bridge was filled with barbarians, loudly celebrating another victory, and greedily rummaging through the dead for weapons, armor, and coins.

They didn't know what was waiting for them.

When more barbarian warriors poured into the Aarhus Bridge, the walnut knight Nikolai judged that the time was right, so he gently took out an arrow and set the tip on fire.

"Damn Yankees! We Nords are going to give you a big gift! It's a big baby that we carefully prepared~" Nikolai shouted with a big laugh.

"Damn Yankee! Taste the big treasure that belongs to our Nord!" The Nord army also shouted.

"Don't block on the bridge! Don't block on the bridge! Rush across the bridge! Kill all those lowly southerners! Don't block on the bridge!" Bireg suddenly realized something, and he hurriedly shouted loudly, signaling his The soldiers immediately chased and killed the enemy.

late.

"boom!!!!"

The earth shook and the river flowed backwards.

The earth-shattering explosion collapsed the 30-meter-long stone bridge of Aarhus Bridge, and none of the barbarian plunderers who stood on it survived.

Hundreds of barbarian soldiers and the stone bridge of Aarhus Bridge were reduced to scattered fragments.

"Hahahaha! Bireg, are you satisfied with our present?" Lops and Ike cleaned up the barbarian plunderers who rushed across the bridge one by one, and then stood on the side of the bridge and shouted, "Walnut Knight" He laughed even more and signaled the soldiers to retreat: "If you are not satisfied, we will have a better gift for you when we wait until Miyodenhaven, and that is death!"

Ike's face was full of excitement, and the wandering knight took the heads of six barbarian plunderers by himself.

"We could have done more." Ryan signaled that some of the soldiers retreated, and some stayed behind to continue sniping at the barbarians. The crossbowmen poured down arrows frantically, and the barbarians kept falling down with arrows, facing the broken bridge. , the barbarians became the living targets of these crossbowmen.

But Ryan didn't have a smile on his face. In his plan, they should destroy the trees and houses on the other side of the river as much as possible to prevent the barbarians from building new bridges quickly. Bridges can't be delayed for much time.

The remaining 200 bowmen and a dozen cavalrymen kept firing arrows on the other side of the river, preventing the barbarians from building new bridges. There were not many trees on the other side of the river, and Ryan's group kept firing arrows, Bear. The human tribe's bridge-building operation was repeatedly blocked, and all the barbarians who tried to swim across the river lost their lives to prove to Bireg that the road would not work. The barbarians could only honestly try to repair the bridge. Judgment shouldn't take much effort.

During the long tug-of-war, the Nords were very obscenely hiding out of the range of javelins and throwing axes. These nasty arrows brought great trouble to the bridge repair work.

"Trash! Trash!" Barbarian champion Kurorin scolded and signaled to the soldiers to hurry up, because time passed quickly, and the sun had changed from rising to high in the sky - in the repeated tree cutting and bridge building, the barbarians It's been half a day.

The cold arrows across the bridge also gradually stopped, because the bowmen had exhausted their arrows, so Ryan signaled that the bowmen could retreat, leaving only a few wandering knights and two kingdom knights. .

"Our plan was very successful, Mr. Ryan, the barbarians have been dragged here by us for half a day." Nikolai said happily. Today, the Nords have not suffered too many casualties, and the barbarians have dropped more than 500 weapons. corpse.

"It would be better if we had time to cut down some more trees on the other side of the river." Ryan nodded as well. After such a delay, the barbarians were caught in the footsteps of this broken bridge, and it would be difficult for them to reach Miyoden within today. Haven.

Moreover, they also prepared some "little accidents" for these **** barbarians.

After the bearmen tribe built the bridge with the wood they had finally collected, a group of barbarian plunderers hurriedly stood up, wanting to cross the river and destroy the Nords on the opposite side.

"Three, two, one~ Fall!" Nikolai's last finger fell, and the bridge pier that had moved his hands and feet collapsed under human gravity, and was then swept away by the river. The temporary wooden bridge that lost its support also fell apart, and another ten A few hapless barbarians fell into the water, and the icy river water gradually drowned their senses.

The wooden bridge that took half a day to build became useless.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" It took half a day of work, so no matter how full it was, this barbarian army was delayed for a whole day by their own people.

The army of the empire will arrive the day after tomorrow, leaving only one day left for the barbarians to attack the city. If the barbarians cannot break through the city within a day, they will face the danger of being attacked by the imperial army before and after - the quality of the imperial reinforcements And the number is simply not comparable to these defenders.

Then, whether it is an irrational siege with all his strength or whether to retreat or not, Ryan is confident that he can rely on the city wall to defend successfully.

"Hahaha~ Stupid Nord Pig, do you think this can hold me back?" Bireg looked indifferent and laughed: "Let me think, do you think this will make you Drag to the imperial reinforcements to support you?"

"Go back and see your city and see what happened to it?" A black crow flew into the hand of the barbarian chief, the crow symbolizing evil and wisdom whispered to the barbarian chief, who nodded in satisfaction.

"??!!" The smile on Nikolai's face gradually disappeared, and the remaining few people's faces faded because of the joy of winning and successfully sniping the barbarian army.

"Enough Birig, you exchanged five hundred human lives for the loss of less than one hundred of us. I wonder what your evil **** will think of you? A stupid coward? Or a lame leader? You are ridiculous The tactic is to let your soldiers come up and die? Then I don't think you have a chance to win the favor of the evil **** in your life." Ryan retorted, and then regardless of the blue and red expression on Bireg's face, he immediately turned to the remaining few People gave orders: "The mission objective has been completed, let's retreat quickly!"

"Yes!" Several people's horses were covered with the heads of barbarians, and some even got more. They have gained a lot this time, everyone is satisfied, and they are more convinced of Ryan's orders.

The Nord army retreated right in front of the barbarians. Before leaving, Nikolai fired all the arrows in his quiver in retaliation, killing another dozen barbarian soldiers.

Riding on the horse, Ryan instructed the walnut knight: "My plan is to block Birig until it is dark here, and before reaching the port, we must snipe Birig here for at least a day, so that we can even retreat back to the port. , we only need to hold on for one night and half a day, and the reinforcements of the empire will arrive, relying on the city wall, we are fully capable of resisting the offensive, and once the reinforcements of the empire arrive, we can destroy this tribe in turn."

"Mjordenhaven has high walls and thick walls. As long as there are no mistakes, there should be no problem in sticking to it for a day. Mr. Lane, your plan is very successful." Nickley praised Lane's plan: "Although it is not as expected. Hold on until it gets dark, but if Bireg wants to get to the city at least noon tomorrow, then we only need to hold on for one day."

"I hope so." Ryan said, "As long as there are no accidents."

"Stupid! Weak! Scum!" Seeing the Nords disappearing far into the horizon, Bireg, who couldn't hold it any longer, finally broke out. The big axe in his hand instantly cut off the heads of two incompetent people, and then became angry. He shouted: "Crollin! Take your people and make me a raft immediately! We must cross the Ovre River quickly! Otherwise, the reinforcements of the Empire will arrive!"

"But Chief, there isn't much wood around here. It will take time for us to cross this river all!"

"Then do it quickly! We must cross the Ovre River before dark!"

"Yes!"

——Back in time two days ago——

The Blood Axe mercenary group is resting in Mjordenhaven. There are only two or three kittens left in the mercenary group that used to be strong and strong. The deputy head of the mercenary group has an unbearable sadness on his face, but he still has a strong face. The laughter encouraged the mercenaries to grit their teeth and get out of the difficulties.

However, the subsequent barbarian invasion gave Wilt a blow. As a mercenary group, they must be forcibly recruited by the lord. Although Albert opened his treasury and took out a lot of wealth to hire them, Wilt knew that the blood axe now What is needed is not income, but recuperation and recruiting new members.

The lord's order cannot be refused. The officials who come to the door now are still Albert's subordinate officials. If they refuse, the lord's soldiers will come next time.

So the mercenaries were scattered and incorporated into the army of defending the city. Under the order of the earl, the soldiers gathered together to clear the walls outside the city, burning down houses and felling trees. Only Emilia survived - Jialan who suddenly came to the door. Congresswoman Teresa Trovik took Emilia from the garrison officer on the grounds that she needed a "helper".

Banda was assigned to guard the east gate of Mjordenhaven. This port city has only two gates, the east gate and the south gate.

"What should I do? What should I do?" The little mercenary's eyes shone strangely, his steps staggered a little, especially his left leg, which was very awkward to walk, even if it was programmed into In the military camp, he still wore a long cloak, hiding his appearance within the cloak.

His nails became longer and longer, as did his fingers, and more importantly, he began to be inspired by more and more dreams, and he gradually came up with a way to attract Ms. Trovik's attention.

The little mercenary became more and more talkative. His language was as beautiful as winter liquor and warm sun. The soldiers in charge of defending the city were quickly conquered by Banda's conversation. 's story became a favorite of the soldiers, and in just one day, Banda gained everyone's trust.

The next day, watching Ryan lead an army out of the city, the little mercenary standing on the city wall knew that his chance had come.

That night.

Today it is Banda's turn to be on duty with another soldier, and the two will guard the noose at the city gate at night.

The icy moonlight shone on the two guards, and there was an uneasy atmosphere in the guards. The soldiers who were partnered with Banda were shivering in the cold wind, and they kept cursing the barbarians until they had nothing to say. Stop it.

The soldier took a deep breath and asked Banda, who was standing still, curiously, "What's wrong, brother? Do you think we can survive this war?"

"I don't know, all I know is that my chance is here!" Banda walked gently behind the soldier, then looked under the tower in surprise: "Oh my God, what is that?"

"What?" The soldier ran to the crenel of the city wall curiously, looked down, but found nothing: "What did you see? Banda?"

A cold dagger penetrated his chest, the soldier's mouth was covered, and after a twitch, the thin body lost its vitality: "I saw death."

"Next..." The little mercenary muttered to himself, he let the soldier stand in place, and then used the cold walls and spears to help him fix his body shape, and ensured that his position could be seen by many people.

"That's good." Banda had already received enough information from the soldiers who trusted him. He calculated the time for the guards to change shifts, and then secretly took advantage of the short gap to get away.

It has to be said that Banda is indeed talented enough, and it is not without reason that he would be accepted as a disciple by the great swordsman Werther. If he hadn't fallen infatuated with Senator Garland, his future would be very promising.

"Wait for me! Ms. Trovik!" Banda muttered to himself, hiding himself behind the dark corridor of the tower.

"I'll show you right away, the most beautiful..."

"The most beautiful, fireworks."

"Boom!" In the early morning of that day, the sound of the explosion at the East City Gate woke all the people in the entire city from their sleep.

"What happened?"

"what happened?"

"Not good! The city gate has fallen!"

"Did the barbarians come in?"

Citizens and refugees fell into extreme panic. People ran to tell each other and trampled on each other. The pier of the port was crowded with people who wanted to escape by boat. In the cries and crowds, people kept falling into the water. In the city, People crowded each other, trampled on each other, were killed and wounded countless times, and there was hopelessness everywhere.

Lord's Castle.

Hearing the loud noise, Albert suddenly woke up from his sleep. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword on the head of the bed, and then shouted outside, "Someone!"

"Your Excellency!" Several attendants rushed in from outside immediately.

"What happened? Tell me now! Are barbarians rushing in!" Albert immediately reacted to what happened and shouted frantically at the attendant.

"No, I don't know! We also just woke up." The attendants responded in a panic, and they were also at a loss.

News from the loyal soldier soon came.

There was a huge explosion in the armory at the east gate, and the room where the artillery was stored was detonated under unknown circumstances. More than 20 soldiers or mercenaries in the night watch were killed or injured, and a few people were missing.

The worst thing is not the loss of military power, but... the Dongcheng Gate was blown up!

"My lord, the city gate has collapsed! The hinges of the drawbridge have also been damaged!" The bamboo knight Valdemar rushed to the Count's Castle and said sadly: "The east gate has been in ruins, and we have lost the cover of the city wall. Facing the direct attack of the barbarians!"

"Who did it?! Who did it?!" Albert's eyes turned blood red, and the lord and count frantically grabbed Valdemar's collar regardless of his thin pajamas: "Tell me Me, who did it?!"

"I don't know, my lord, a total of more than 20 people died in the explosion, and several people are missing. We can't identify the suspect in a short time." Valdemar said with an almost crying expression: "My lord, We are finished, we are finished, without the city wall, how can we resist the army of 4,000 barbarians of Bireg?"

"Damn! Damn! Damn!!!" The forty-year-old Earl paced frantically in his bedroom.

"Count, escape! Let's escape to the south!" Valdemar walked behind Albert and said cautiously: "There are still several passenger ships on the dock, and the barbarians will not arrive until the next morning at the earliest. We can get on the passenger ship first."

"And then? As Earl of Mjordenhaven, I am actually a life-threatening person who abandoned his own territory?" Albert snorted twice, then looked at his kingdom knight: "It's unimaginable, Valdemar, my knight, you can only come up with this inferior idea of ​​escape?"

"I didn't mean that~www.wuxiahere.com~ My lord, I mean...we can do this," Valdemar really didn't want to fight, his kingdom knighthood was inherited from his father , He is only in his thirties this year, and he has not lived enough to be a nobleman: "We can entrust the city defense to Nikolai and Ryan! Then we can wait for the results on the passenger ship. If Nickolay and Ryan can lead the defenders Of course everyone is happy to defend this city..."

"What if you can't keep it?" Albert sneered.

"If we can't keep it... I mean if, then we can go to sea temporarily by boat, you know, our reinforcements will arrive soon, we just need to hide at sea for a day or two, and wait until the reinforcements from the empire arrive, We can take the opportunity to land again, and attack from both sides... uh, the inside should be combined with the outside! In this way, no one will think that we are escaping, we are a strategy, yes, a strategy!" Valdemar saw that Albert did not refute, I thought there was a drama, so my tone became much lighter: "Look, how about this idea?"

"You are really smart, Valdemar. It's not easy to come up with such a strategy. I want to reward you." Albert clapped vigorously, but he couldn't get rid of the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth. He shouted outside: " Emile? Bring your people in, I have something to order!"

"There's no need for that. I'm just giving a suggestion. It's you, Count, who make up your mind!" Valdemar was a little embarrassed, and his eyes flickered even more.

"Count!" Several well-armed guards rushed in from outside, all of them wearing full armor, holding halberds and swords hanging from their waists.

"Take him to me!" Albert suddenly drew his sword and pointed at Valdemar who was standing in front of him, shouting angrily.

"what?"
