Chapter 32: The Riot of the Night (2)
Under the silent night sky, the tremors of the city walls reverberated throughout the castle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The little wizard, who was still asleep, rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed, and there was a slender figure in his blue eyes.
"Leah...... Miss?"
The dazed Ain immediately became nervous, deliberately hoarse and hoarse, and only relaxed his vigilance slightly after confirming that he was still wearing clothes - the identity of the witch was too sensitive. Since leaving the Wimpal Academy, there hasn't been a day when the little wizard hasn't been scared.
"What's the matter, little wizard?" asked, the spear-wielding elf, "having a nightmare?"
"No, no, I just vaguely heard some movement...... "The sleepy-eyed Ai Yin scratched his head, and suddenly reacted like a rabbit, and his face suddenly turned red: "Little, little wizard?!"
"Questions?" Leah blinked, "That one is called Loren, doesn't he call you that often?"
“...... It's nothing. Suppressing his anger, the little wizard clenched his fists and squeezed out a "gentle" smile: "Excuse me...... Did he say the same thing in front of you?"
"Hmm...... I think there are five or six times. The elf with her chin cocked thought for a moment and replied truthfully, "Is there anything else?"
"No, thank you for your honesty. Ayn Rand thanked him "sincerely". He went back to bed as if nothing had happened, gritting his teeth and staring at the ceiling with wide eyes.
Great liar, you're dead!!!
Shrugging her shoulders, Leah turned to leave, closing the door and locking it as she could. The female elf standing in front of the corridor window could already clearly see the group of refugees outside the city wall like an angry sea!
The soldiers on the city walls had gradually disappeared, the castle guards were panicked behind the city gates like headless flies, and the refugees with torches banged on the city gates over and over again, and the noise and shouts of the waves came to their faces.
The eyes of the elf, who had a little trembling at the fireball that had just hit the wall—she was not afraid of real swords, nor of rampaging ogres, because she knew what to do with them.
But that fireball really made her a little afraid. Even if an ogre is taken a moment, he will definitely die, how did these humans create such weapons?
"Are you scared?"
The familiar voice made Leah turn her head, and Lukka, who had taken off her cloak, was fully armed, followed by two war dancers who had come with her.
"Have you seen me scared?" the female elf who asked rhetorically looked at him with an expression of disbelief, "Are you really going to take everyone to fight those poor people?"
"We have made a pact, and the elves cannot break the promises they have made. Lukka nodded, "What's more, only by doing this will the Earl provide us with support." ”
"But don't worry, as long as those people don't rush in, we won't have to fight them. Lukka patted the elf's head comfortingly: "Only then will the Count think of us people." ”
"But at that point, you are the only one who can defend the castle, protect the person in the room, and the earl, no matter what, you can't let them hurt a cold hair, it's a matter of life and death for our settlement!"
After receiving an answer from the elves, Luca, relieved, left the castle with the rest of the elves.
Leah, a lone war dancer, raised her head slightly, holding a spear upside down in her right hand, stood in the middle of the corridor without saying a word, staring into the darkness ahead.
The cold moonlight whipped up the cold wind, and her figure standing with a gun was reflected on the wall.
.................. When these elves with spears and spears on their backs appeared at the city gate, Lu Wen was somewhat relieved. At least these elves didn't break their promise, and they didn't turn to the Senna family, otherwise the Deep Forest Castle might really not be able to hold it.
But even that didn't make the situation much better - the refugees outside the Deep-Limburg were getting more and more excited, and every time a fireball fell on the walls, it killed many people.
"Just continue to consume them and see how long this group of people can last!" Lu Wen, who had an ugly face, said to himself: "Do you want to use this method to force open the city gate, do you think I'm a fool?!"
Indeed, even with trebuchets, it is not easy to break open the gates of the Deep Forest. But since the other party has been so well prepared, Loren never believes that the other party will not know this.
Just as he was about to persuade Ruben to be on guard, a fierce cheer suddenly erupted in the dark crowd outside, and the wide-eyed Loren followed the firelight, and the refugees in the distance were clustering several ladders to approach the city wall.
They even prepared siege ladders?!
"Push the ladder down, don't let them climb up!"
The roaring Levin was a step too late, and before the panicked castle guards could figure out what was happening, thousands of ragged refugees had already climbed the ladder with their rudimentary weapons, like hungry hyenas.
Hunger, cold, embarrassment...... These people have gone crazy, they just know that there must be food in the castle, and they can save themselves and their families by rushing into the castle.
In such a surging roar, even though Levin had dispatched two guards to the city wall in time to defend, he was still torn open a few holes, allowing the refugees to rush onto the city wall!
While the daggers and sticks didn't do much damage, the guards, who had been torn apart, were equally unable to organize their defenses and were left in a situation where they were left to fight, not even knowing who they were fighting against.
Even among these refugees, many of them were relatives, neighbors and even family members - this hesitation also prevented Ruben from giving the order to expel the refugees, otherwise the guards would probably mutiny!
"Send the Count back to the lord's quarters in the main castle, and then mobilize all the men to guard the walls!" Loren immediately pressed the knight of the guard behind him: "Go now, it's too late!"
"What are you talking nonsense, how can I hide alone now?!" The young earl roared angrily, "I am the lord of the Deep Forest, and the city walls are where I should be!"
"When you're dead, you'll no longer be the lord of the Deep Forest!" Loren roared back unceremoniously, "The goal of this rebellion is to kill you - why would they encourage these refugees? I just don't want to get my hands dirty!"
"Listen to me if you don't want to be fooled, Ruben Fried—you promised not to doubt my decision, is the Count's promise the same as a fart?!"
"You ......," Lu Wen said halfway through his words, and he fainted to the ground as if he had been hit hard.
Flicking his left hand with the "spellcaster", Loren glanced at the guard knight next to him: "What are you still looking at?
When the knight of the guard left the tower with Leven on his back, Luca, who had always been silent, walked up and looked at Loren tentatively: "That one just now, is it the magic of your human wizard?"
"There are no wizards among you elves?"
"We have sages who have mastered the knowledge of herbs, nature and astrology and serve the ancient wood. Lukka shook his head: "But this kind of power that is incomparably ominous just by looking at it, no." ”
"Whether it's unknown or not, it still depends on how to use it. Loren smiled disappreciatively: "What's more, we need this kind of power now." ”
Anyway, there is already an Asrael, how far can he go even if he is "unknown"?
While the two were talking, another knight of the guard suddenly rushed up: "The refugees have rushed in, right at the side gate to the west of the castle!"
"One of the castle guards betrayed the Count and secretly opened the door!"
The guards on the tower gasped, and the horror was no longer enough to explain their expressions. After hesitating for a moment, Loren picked up his wand, turned and walked to the stairs, staring at Luca behind him.
"The walls are up to you and the Elven War Dancers, and I hope you will be as heroic as you were when you fought the ogres. Before he could finish speaking, the black-haired wizard had already jumped from the tower and the wall, and his nimble figure had disappeared from Luca's sight in the blink of an eye.
"I hope you survive, Wizard Excellency. Lukka threw down his spear and held two meter-long throwing spears in both hands, which he used as short spears.
"Elves, fulfill your promises-!!!"
