Chapter 144: Sneak Attack in the Night
"Long live the Lars Empire!-"... Seeing this, the officers and soldiers of Lars, who were on the southern wall of Mandoria, immediately burst into bursts of enthusiastic cheers, and they lifted the huge trees and boulders on the city wall one after another, and threw them at the amphibious enemy at the foot of the city wall. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The amphibious troops besieging the city were seriously wounded by their commanders, and they immediately fell into a situation of paralysis of command and collapse of morale; they blindly retreated and never organized any offensive again.
In this battle, the defenders on the southern wall of the city of Mandolia: 250 militiamen were killed. Thirty-five Imperial Mages were killed. Twenty-seven Lars sword fighters were killed. The friendly forces in Lars, who came with reinforcements, lost only five elite infantry and twenty militiamen. Only a dozen were lightly and seriously wounded, and only a few of them were seriously wounded and incapacitated.
On the side of the Amphibious Sark Kingdom: about 200 archers, giant shield soldiers and trident soldiers were killed each, a total of more than 600 people. The number of wounded was as high as seven or eight hundred, and more than 100 of them were seriously injured who were hors de combat or in a state of near death.
Fernando took the retreating troops to a high ground with a view of the tower of Mandolia, stationed them, and ordered his men to tie up Golle at once. It didn't take long for a team of amphibious officers and soldiers to push the big-flung Gule into his tent.
"Fernando!--How dare you arrest me!?--Where did I provoke you!??" Goller, who was pushed into the tent and fell to the ground, looked up and saw Fernando, and struggled desperately, rolling in disbelief, and shouting again and again.
"Goller!—what did you do yesterday? You know best! Drag this garbage out and cut it for me!" Fernando clenched his right eye with his left hand in pain, and when he saw Goller's appearance, his eyes showed a fierce look, and he stood up with a hideous face, and slapped the table with his right hand, angrily. The two guards then stepped forward, grabbed the rope that was tied to Guller's body, and dragged him out.
"Fernando!--I see that you have been shot blind like this, haven't you also suffered defeat!? You have even spilled your resentment on my head because of this! Even if I have a great crime, it will not be your turn to deal with it, and I can only be punished by the prince!" Golle saw that his life was not guaranteed, and he rolled desperately on the ground, constantly screaming and questioning.
"In that case, then gouge out this guy's right eye for me, and cut off the left one!" Seeing this, Fernando's face was flushed with anger, and his left eye was bloodshot, and he raised his right hand with bloodshot left eye, pointing at Goller and shouting loudly. Guller was then dragged out of the tent by two guards.
"Write down the charges of Gule, and then take that guy to the prince and let him be disposed of. Then Fernando summoned some of Goller's lieutenants and gave them orders, and after saying that, he felt dizzy and fell on the table in front of him, fainting and fainting.
"Ah!!h Goller, that guy became a one-eyed dragon and an ear.
Next, several of Gule's lieutenants took the guy in front of the port of Shevis and Ladakh, and presented the documents accusing Gule to the prince.
"It's all Fernando's fabrication to frame me!--Lord!-Look!... Fernando's
As soon as Goller, whose head was tightly wrapped in gauze, saw Ladakh, he fell to his knees and moved his knees step by step in front of the prince, and hugged Ladakh's calves, and wailed in pain and tears.
"You incompetent and useless garbage rice can, how dare you slander General Fernando in front of this king. Do you know what you are? You're just a slug! General Fernando is a fierce general, the most needed and relied on by the king.
Someone! Drag this garbage out to the king!" Before Goller could finish speaking, Ladakh raised his foot violently, kicked the garbage in the head, and cursed angrily.
"Wait. Leave him a cheap life for the time being. When the king sees General Fernando in person, it will not be too late to execute this garbage in front of the general. "As the two guards dragged the slumped, silent Gollum out. Ladakh suddenly changed his words and commanded.
"Lord, you must not do this! Otherwise, I'll take care of your business—" Goller's face was full of tears, and his eyes were blank at the thought of something, and he wailed and called out for threats.
"Otherwise, what do you want to do with this piece of garbage!?--Will you be cut and your whole family wiped out by a thousand knives?!!Take it away!-" Ladakh was furious when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward, waving his hand into a resounding slap in the face, glaring mercilessly into the other's eyes. Syllable!
As a result, Gull was dragged out of the house by two guards and put in a cell. Almost at the same time, Fernando was lying on his bed in the barracks tent, unable to get up. A large group of amphibious lieutenants were gathered around his bedside, listening attentively.
"I'm not going to do it anymore. Now, I will give you only one last order: Tonight, you will gather all your troops and attack the northern walls of Mandoria at night, and with the advantage of our people's night vision, you will break through the city, and you must avenge the general!
"It can be done!" the lieutenants agreed in unison.
"Good. As long as you can do it. I'm worthy of the prince and all the people of the clan, and I can be blind to death..."Fernando lay on the bed, and continued to move his lips, exerting all his strength in a loud admonition. In the middle of the night, the raging amphibious general died on the bed in his tent due to an attack of arrow.
After defeating the amphibious forces led by Fernando, Hanks readjusted the deployment of forces in the city of Mandolia. The southern wall was guarded by two hundred militiamen, twenty-three Lars sword fighters, fifty elite infantry, fifty Lars archers, and thirty-five imperial mages stationed in Tina.
The middle-aged uncle was responsible for defending the eastern city wall with fifty Lars archers, fifty elite infantry, and one hundred and seventy-five militiamen. There were fifty Lars archers, fifty elite infantry, and one hundred and seventy-five militiamen left on the western wall garrisoned by Bran.
There are still thirty imperial mages, fifty elite infantry, and two hundred militiamen left on the northern wall where Rossi was stationed. Among them, the Lars Sword Fighter and the Imperial Mage have the strongest combat effectiveness, the elite infantry and the Lars Shooter are the second, and the militia is the weakest.
"The enemy's extremely fierce attack has been thwarted and has suffered heavy losses, and without reinforcements, it is estimated that it will be difficult to launch another attack, but there are still a considerable number of troops. So, everyone should pay attention to the sneak attack tonight. On the tower of the southern wall of Mandoria, Tina reminded Hanks, Bran, and Rossi who were standing in front of her.
"Everything under his subordinates is subject to His Highness's arrangement. Hanks was the first to reply.
"Even when I'm asleep, I keep one eye open. Bran replied jokingly second.
"We amphibians are night vision. It is indeed highly likely that they will launch a night attack. Of course, I will prepare carefully when I go back. Rosie finally chimed in. The three companions then left the tower on the southern wall and returned to their own defense zone with their troops.
At the third watch in the evening of the same day. Rosie, who was stationed on the north wall, saw a large group of fireflies in the distance, and flew towards this side one after another. No, he looked at it carefully, and found that the fluorescence was not the glow of fireflies, but the bright eyes of the amphibians in the moonlight.
"Wow!—what a big bunch of fireflies!, why are they all flying towards us, so big and bright!" Seeing this, an Imperial mage standing beside Rossi couldn't help but cover his mouth with his left hand, yawning and stretching his back to sigh.
"Big and bright, of course! those are the eyes of our people that glow in the night!" Rossi snapped to the Imperial mage beside him.
"So what should we do next?" the Imperial Mage woke up from his drowsy slumber.
"The whole army obeys the order!—please pretend that you don't see anything, and be ready for battle at all times—" Rossi immediately conveyed his instructions.
All the officers and soldiers of Lars on the northern wall received the order, and then clenched their weapons tightly in their hands. Several lieutenant generals assigned by Hanks kept watching Rossi's every move with their eyes, ready to deprive the amphibious prince of command at any time. After all, it is impossible for the human officers and soldiers of Lars to fully trust such an amphibian "prince".
The patrolling Lars guards continued to stand on the northern wall and patrol in detail, pacing unhurriedly. Seeing this, the amphibious enemy troops who came by sneak attack did not notice anything unusual. Boom, boom, boom... So, in a short time, dozens of arrows were shot from the darkness at the foot of the city walls. The torches on the north tower were then extinguished.
Smack, smack.... Immediately after, Rossi heard the clatter of the grappling hook being thrown up and hooking the city wall.
"Rush!--" "Kill!--..."... The amphibious enemy beneath the walls immediately began to scream as they climbed up the rope of the grappling hook. The Larsians, who thought they were defenseless, would be scared out of their way by the sudden screams they let out so closely.
"Do it!" Rosie raised his right arm and slammed it down. The officers and soldiers of Lars, who was on the wall to the north, all stood up. Thirty Imperial mages immediately began to unleash blazing white spell energy light balls. The dazzling white light instantly illuminated the vicinity of the castle tower as if it were day.
