Chapter 504: New Carthage
"It stands to reason that the Alans are here, and they really shouldn't be!" "Just as the birds belong to the sky and the elk to the forest," Sergius said, "the Alans should be on the other side and not here." ”
"Either the soldiers guarding this area have done nothing, or New Carthage has been breached, and there is no other explanation as to why the Alans are in this place and why they are so arrogant in drinking horses at the sea." Luga said, clutching the scepter in his hand, he understood that it was time to use the power in his hands to knock the nobles of New Carthage against the tigers, of course, it was a good choice to kill the chickens and monkeys under the necessary conditions.
New Carthage is a capital city, and it has to be said that its unique geographical location has allowed its business to develop rapidly. It is precisely because of the rapid rise of commerce that the city has expanded unprecedentedly and is huge. Of course, this is a thing of the past, and the impact of the war has long since left it without the vitality it once was.
The ships of the fleet moved unhurriedly forward, and it was not until the night of the fifth day that the fleet finally approached the docks of New Carthage.
It was night, it was curfew, and the soldiers patrolling the docks were chatting boredly and bored. They were chatting and trying to get through the long night in any way they could.
However, they heard the sound of wooden planks rattling, and then their eyes widened to see the sound of dozens of oars lapping on the water in the darkness.
"It's so late, and there will be a ship coming in?" One of the soldiers asked curiously.
"It's no-go time, and there's no way a ship will come in." The other soldier continued, but he quickly stretched out his hand to signal everyone present to be quiet, only to hear him whisper, "Listen, listen to the sound, the sound of the oars lapping on the water." Listen, how many oars are in motion, it's a big ship! ”
The soldiers stood up, drew their iron swords, stretched out their heads to look at the dock in front of them, and kept walking forward.
The dark shadow in front of them was getting closer and closer, and they couldn't be sure what it was, because when they were about to look up at this behemoth, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten.
"What's going on?" Each of them was asking this question in their hearts, but the bad premonition and nervousness made it difficult for them to contain.
"Quick! Go sound the alarm! There are enemies! There are enemies! Finally, the leader could not bear the fear of confronting the darkness like this, and he turned back sharply and shouted to his own people behind him. A soldier woke up in an instant, he nodded again and again, and hurriedly ran towards the shore.
"Dangdang! Dangdang! Dangdang! ”
The sound of bells rang out one after another, making the seemingly peaceful dock instantly lively, and a large number of soldiers poured out of the street behind the dock, and they were belatedly surprised to see the burning torches and lights.
Beneath the light were neatly lined up soldiers, and the night watchmen kneeling in a row, tied up with flowers.
"What the hell! What the hell! What do you all do! The soldiers who poured out, the officers led by them, pointed at the gang of "kidnappers" in front of them and shouted loudly.
Everyone looked up at the officer, and they could only say that they didn't see anything wrong inside, he only saw that the soldiers in front of him looked like Roman soldiers, and they did kidnap their own people.
"Who are you, tell me, and then, I command you, let them all go!" The officer pointed his iron sword at the unknown soldiers in front of him.
"Smack!"
Just after he finished roaring, he only felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and he only felt a hot pain on his face that made him almost unable to speak.
"Damn it! Damn it! ”
The officer covered his face and wailed, spreading his palms to see a pool of blood on the palms of his hands.
"Dare to hit me! Dare to hit me! The officer roared, and the soldiers behind him jerked their weapons at the strangers in front of them.
"Smack!"
Another whip, swung out of the shadows, slammed into the officer's body, causing him to fall to his knees with a scream.
"Me!"
The voice was cold, like ice and snow in the far north, and everyone looked for it, only to see a man holding a long leather whip in his hand, wearing a brass muscular cuirass, and a lion's skin on his shoulders, the whole lion's head was his hat, and the skin on the lion's back was his mantle.
The soldiers behind the officer swallowed for their saliva, for they weren't sure what rank the guy in front of them was slapping their boss.
"Who are you?" The officer knelt on the ground, and he looked up, the pain making him grin so hard that he could hardly speak.
"Your new Captain of Soldiers, Flavis. Luga! The man stepped out of the shadows completely, and in the light of the fire, his sparkling eyes fixed on the officer.
For some reason, the officer bowed his head, before confirming Luga's identity
The barbarians were rampant, causing panic in the hearts of the people, and no one knew when there would be marauding barbarians outside the city.
