Prologue (3) -14 Unexpected Enemies

"Enemy...... There are other enemies, and they are ...... from behind us The land behind is also attacking!" the herald gasped and nervously said to the commanders of the city walls.

"What?!" the chief of the city wall was shocked, "Damn......

The enemy's infantry, as one might have assumed, landed on the pier from the battleship and advanced from there towards the wall.

Those enemies, perhaps before, had landed on the wasteland on the edge of the harbor of Sanabettiri.

Now the enemy's sea forces, as well as land forces, will flank the harbor of Sanabetiri from both sides!

"We need to be ready for a tough fight. "We don't have any other advantage now. The only thing that can be said to have an advantage is probably ...... We were able to rely on the narrow tunnels to fight. Okay guys, it's time to get ready. โ€

"No problem, if you need help, our sailors can help you too. Teresarini then said firmly, "There is no way back, let's all fight together!"

The commander of the defensive fortress on the side also nodded: "That's right, let's come on! Everyone, let's take stock of their respective forces first!"

The commander of the fort told them that he had about five hundred men left, one hundred of whom were crossbowmen and were not particularly fit for battle, as well as two hundred crossbowmen and two hundred spearmen.

Teresarini told the others that his forces were mainly sailors, and that the sailors, except for the archers, might not be suitable for battle, but of course, they could still help if needed.

The forces of the prefect defending the walls were more adequate than the first two.

The garrison defending the walls of the city was about three thousand people.

These 3,000 men consisted of 1,000 provincial defense crossbowmen, 500 provincial defense archers, 500 provincial defense short spearmen, 500 provincial defense swordsmen, and 500 provincial defense phalanx spearmen.

Then, the garrison defending the city wall told them that there were about 300 patrolmen in the city, who could be responsible for protecting the inhabitants of the city, allowing them to hide in the buildings in the center of the city, so that they could be deployed around the city.

......

"Quick! Go to the theater in the center of the city! Follow the man!"

"Hurry! You people here, evacuate to the square in the center of the city! Follow the man, don't panic, don't push!"

Hold on!"

"Is it already a fight?!"

"What's going on now?!"

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"

"Our defenses are already ready! Don't stop here, it's dangerous here! The city center will be relatively safe. โ€

"Hurry up!"

"There's going to be a war, there's going to be a war!"

"I've heard that the enemy is terrible!"

......

Soon, the evacuation of the residents was underway.

And the defense of Sanabettiri City is also in full swing.

The prefect of the city walls, along with several other men, rode in a carriage and quickly came to a garrison fortress in a safer place on the edge of the central square of Sanabettiri City, where the defense was arranged.

The command office is arranged here, and it is relatively better - it will not be directly attacked by the opponent and cause the entire defense to lose command.

"Our three-ring wall ...... here," said the chief defending the wall, spreading out the large map on the table, "and it will last for a while." โ€

"Perhaps, we can think about the defense outside the walls, I mean, in addition to the walls, it can be deployed elsewhere, or rather, the main force should be placed elsewhere. Although Teresarini was not very familiar with land warfare, he made a suggestion, "We can refer to the aftermath of the fortress of Alecotirin. The city walls, perhaps, will make us not more dangerous. โ€

"Wait, it's not good......" The chief of the city wall looked out of the fortress windowโ€”on one side of the sky, light gray clouds, weighing heavily.

Soon, there may be a torrential rain.

"It's going to rain soon, and the fire weapons like the Rocket Bolt and the Fire Barricade won't work well!" said the commander of the city wall with some concern, "They don't use this kind of fire attack weapon, and when it rains, it may be a bigger disadvantage for us!"

Teresarini looked at the lead-gray sky in the distance and shook her head helplessly and disappointedly.
