Chapter 309: Tentative Attack

Night had fallen, as if a black cloth had suddenly covered the sky, and even the stars were so scarce.

On a cool night, some unknown little bugs chirped in the grass, and they didn't care what these creatures were doing on their two feet, and if they came to them, they could run.

Wild dogs roam the streets at night, digging through the garbage to find something to fill their hungry bellies.

Alia, on the other hand, was lying in ambush near the city walls, huddled at the corner between the roof of a house and the city walls, waiting for the best time to leave.

Originally, Alia, as a former bloody rose, was very confident in her skills, and even wanted to visit the second one after she brought back the first granary.

However, what she didn't expect was that the enemy's reaction speed was so fast, and she had just burned down a granary, and the enemy was quickly put on guard.

This made her helpless, after all, even if she claimed to be a bloody rose and her hands were stained with countless human blood, she was still just an assassin.

She is not the god of war in myths and legends, nor is she a paladin and vampire knight, and a pair of three with ordinary soldiers is already the limit.

After all, she is proficient in assassination techniques, and focuses more on stealing or poisoning, rather than fighting in a dignified manner like a knight.

She was now like a cold-blooded viper, lurking on the eaves of the dwellings, waiting for the guards on the walls to relax.

A knight in fine chain mail and his own family smock patrolled the castle with a dozen soldiers, and in addition to him, ten knights stood guard on the city walls with five armed soldiers each.

As time passed, they had reached the edge of dawn, and the armed infantry standing guard on the city wall felt sleepy, and some even leaned directly against the city wall, slipped and fell asleep.

Even the knights were not so energetic, and some had even begun to sit on the ground with long swords and take a nap, only one or two knights were still barely holding their spirits and looking around.

Alia was actually very tired, how could she not feel tired after fleeing all day without even eating a bite of food.

However, as a bloody rose, she has been trained in this area, and she can force herself to cheer up and not fall into a stupor, just as the top special forces in later generations can control their adrenaline.

Looking at the situation above the city wall, she knew that her opportunity had come, and slowly pulled out the two daggers on the calves of her legs, and she quietly climbed up the loosely guarded city wall along the crack in the stone.

One step, two steps......

She held her breath, lighted her steps, and quietly walked outside the city wall, as long as she left the city wall, it was a wide sea with a fish jumping, and the sky was high for birds to fly.

Moreover, the man besieging the city outside was Count William, who was the object of her allegiance, although the young earl did not give her much favor.

At this time, William was still staying in his tent and waiting for the opportunity, he had already made up his mind to minimize the losses, so that the enemy in the castle would surrender because of the lack of food.

Even if you don't surrender, at least force the enemy out of the city to fight a decisive battle with you.

However, William was very confident that the enemy's regular army was far inferior to his own, and if the serfs were not extremely numerous, they would basically not be able to affect William's army, so he was not afraid of the enemy going out of the city to fight a decisive battle with him.

Therefore, William had Hurim transport the plundered population and property back to Denlenburg, which would be a great burden if he carried them with him in battle.

What's more, although it took a lot of time to come, it was all because it took so long for William to travel from the royal capital of Brijek to Issamdenburg.

In fact, the distance between Denlenburg and Issamdenburg is very close, because the northern territory of Denenburg is Issamdenburg, so it only takes a few days for the hussars to transport the population and material property back to the territory.

"William!"

Norwin walked in from the outside and said, "There is a messenger with the Iron Cross who claims to have received a messenger from Denlenburg who has been assigned by Tus to see you!" ”

William nodded after hearing this, indicating that he understood that the person who could carry his own coat of arms was still more credible, not to mention that with his own strength, it was quite difficult to assassinate himself.

"Let him in!"

William nodded.

Walking in was a middle-aged man in leather armor, and the first thing he did was not to salute, but to show William the iron cross coat of arms and the dark dagger wooden plaque representing his identity.

After confirming his identity, William asked, "Did something important happen?" Tus is in such a hurry for you to send me a letter? ”

"Report to Lord Earl, I don't know what the specific matter is, I'm just a low-level intelligence officer with a dark dagger, and I don't have the authority to know!"

After listening to this, William nodded, all these adjustments of the Dark Dagger were formulated by him, so he still understood the rules here.

Taking the letter from the other party's hand, he opened the wax seal from the envelope, took the parchment out of it, and began to read it.

When William had read all the contents, his face had become noticeably more ugly.

"Alright, you go down first!"

After the messenger left, William said to Norwen with a solemn face: "The kingdom of Ribone and the church have been dispatched!" ”

"The Kingdom of Ribone supports Duke Bunkerson on the pretext of helping his friends, and the Church has dispatched four hundred Templars under the guise of mediation!"

At this moment, under Cancherinburg, there are hundreds of trebuchets in King Brolin's camp, although this trebuchet is not as advanced as William's own design, but it is also a very good tool for siege.

The morale of King Brolin's side can be said to be high, after all, it is an absolute superiority of forces to attack the enemy, which can almost be said to be a battle that can be captured, so that everyone is fighting bravely.

General Yousen looked at the city wall in front of him and said, "Let's attack first, let the prisoners be at the front!" ”

They plundered a large number of people when they entered Issamdenburg, and at this time they were the best supplies to consume the enemy's arrows.

General Yousen did not treat them as subjects of the Tskma Kingdom in the slightest, just as the Principality of Bunkersen had never belonged to the Tskma Kingdom.

Perhaps it was simply because of the forces of the Duke of Bunkersen and the King of Brolin, a principality that had been established for no more than ten years, and the inhabitants of the former kingdom of Tskema, who had just become subjects of the Duchy of Bunkersen for less than ten years, became enemies.

Now that the order had been given, everyone had to obey it, and in this way, under the orders of General Yousen, three hundred armed infantry supervised the march of fifteen hundred prisoners in the direction of the enemy's walls.
