Section 87 Decisions
Harvey immediately rolled over, and pulled out the long sword at her side and the long dagger at her waist at the same time, and before the other soldiers could understand what was going on, Harvey had already rushed out of the arrow tower, and she ran across the walls and shouted orders to the soldiers with crossbows.
"Immediately mount the crossbow bolts, and the enemy is attacking our walls."
"What?" The crossbowmen were awakened from their sleep at this time, and although they did not understand what was happening, they reflexively began to step on the crossbow strings, and suddenly a creaking sound sounded on the walls of Mecklenburg in the night sky.
"Ah~~~." Harvey held the sword and long dagger in both hands and ran towards the spot she noticed was unusual, only to hear a scream.
"Plop~~." I saw that the torches that had been inserted in the wall battlements had been extinguished, and there seemed to be something heavy falling on the black city wall, and at the same time, a gust of wind with a sandalwood smell came to the front, Harvey hurriedly raised his sword and slashed over, and immediately a crisp metal collision sound sounded, and the two sides separated with a touch.
"Has it been discovered?" Master Alger held the scimitar horizontally in front of him, placing the inside of the scimitar on his left elbow, looping his legs so that he spread his legs so that his center of gravity lowered.
"What now?" The nomadic warriors asked their leader.
"Leave this woman alone, I'll deal with her, you guys hurry up and go to the gatehouse to control the city gate." Lord Alger spoke to his men in their tribal language.
"Yes." The nomadic warriors immediately threw Harvey aside and tried to rush over, although Harvey could not understand their language, but she knew what the next plan of these people was, she swung her long sword and long dagger, and attacked the nomadic warriors like a whirlwind, the swords and scimitars of both sides collided together, and the sparks from their strength were so great that they flew around.
"There are enemies? Crossbowmen prepare to defend themselves against the enemy. Harlan also led the other soldiers to rush over, and he saw Harvey fighting with the enemy, so he tried to give an order to the crossbowmen, but the crossbowmen refused.
"Harlan, it's too dark there to see anything, and the crossbow bolts will hurt Lord Harvey by mistake."
"Then hurry up and light the torches." Harlan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, although he was promoted to the rank of squire knight by Princess Josie, but he was not experienced enough in battle, and there was still a gap between him and the real knights, and after being reminded by the crossbowmen, he remembered that there was no torch to illuminate these enemies, and the darkness was used as a shield for defense, so that the defenders could not use crossbows against them.
"The torch is coming, oh~~~." Several soldiers with torches had just run over, but before they could get close to the place, they let out a scream, and they fell backwards to the ground, only to see an arrow stuck in his body.
"Whew." A nomadic warrior hid in the dark, holding a small bow in his hand, and the Mecklenburg defenders did not expect that the other party was carrying bows and arrows, knowing that the Germanic people used bows were all longbows of one person's height, although they were powerful and long-ranged, but they were very inconvenient to carry. The bows of the nomadic warriors were composite bows made of animal horns and glue, which did not need to be large but were very elastic, suitable for mounted archery and covert combat.
"Ugh." Harvey tried her best to stop these enemies, but these nomadic warriors were extremely cunning and difficult, and when she heard a gust of wind coming, she instinctively wanted to use her sword to hold the enemy's weapon, but she felt something entangled in her long sword, and before she could react, she felt her body fly.
"Lord Harvey, now fire your crossbow." Harlan saw Harvey being pulled into the darkness by something, and then Harvey fell from the wall to the inside, when she fell into the wall, fortunately there was a thatched hut below, and the roof cushioned her body from falling, when she rolled off the roof and fell to the ground, there was not much damage except for a slight injury to her arm.
"Whoosh~~~." The crossbowmen raised the crossbows in their hands and shot their crossbows in the direction of Lord Alger and the others, only to hear the sound of the crossbows hitting a blunt object in the darkness, and then they calmed down, except for the noise in the direction of the Pomeranian camp, of course.
"Did you kill the enemy?" Harlan held his long sword, he stood there with his eyes fixed on the darkness opposite, at this moment the moon that had been covered by dark clouds was revealed, and in the moonlight, Harlan and the others saw the nomadic warriors raise their felt blankets and shoot their crossbow arrows at the thick carpet.
"Kill~~~." As the nomadic warriors tossed their blankets aside, they let out a shout of slaughter at the same time, and then raised their swords and rushed towards the Mecklenburg defenders.
"Woo~~~~soft~~~~smack." Among the nomadic warriors, there was one warrior who was the most powerful, and the weapon in his hand was a long whip, the whip of the nobles of Europa was relatively short when they rode their horses, but among the nomads there was a whip that was not only used to urge the mount, but also used to attack the enemy when necessary, and it was he who threw the whip around Harvey's sword and threw her out, the unpredictable whip caught the Mecklenburgers off guard who had never seen such a weapon.
The shouts and sounds of killing on the city wall made the heart of the Pomeranian chief relax slightly, he knew that the critical moment had finally come, and immediately struck the scepter on his palm, and then raised the scepter and shouted to the nobles, then turned over and rode towards Mecklenburg slowly, behind him the Pomeranian extinguished the bonfire and followed behind the lord with weapons, the nobles rode proudly behind their horses and waved their respective flags, Of course, no one can see clearly in the dark.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Princess Josie woke up from a nightmare, wearing only a white fringed nightgown, and was finally able to rest after drinking the fetal pill that Miss Shirley had concocted for her, but now she woke up from her dream to hear the clashing of weapons and shouts of murder outside.
"Your Highness the princess is not good, the Pomeranians have stormed the castle." The maid was startled and ran in, and Princess Josie was so surprised that she quickly got up from her bed and walked to the window, and looked out of the window of the main tower, and saw a long dragon with torches pouring in from the gate of the outer wall.
"Ah, ah~~~." Princess Josie's mouth opened wide, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain when she was excited.
"Princess, Your Highness Princess, you have shed blood." The maid covered her mouth with her hands, and her eyes widened as she watched as Princess Josie's white fringed skirt was dyed red, and blood was running down from between the princess's legs.
"Ahh Princess Josie couldn't hold it anymore, she slid down the wall and fell to the ground, and a maid rushed out of the bedroom to find Miss Shirley.
"Princess, Your Highness." Just as the maid had just rushed out of the bedroom, Brother Elvet came running in panic with his monk's robe, and when he learned that the Pomeranians had rushed into the castle, he also panicked, and his first thought was to report to Princess Josie, who was not only noble but also had calmly commanded the soldiers in times of crisis, but when he stepped into the bedroom, he smelled blood, and heard Princess Josie's groans of pain.
"Oh God, God."
"Brother Elvet, uh, order immediately, order the soldiers to hold the inner city~~~." When Princess Josie saw Brother Elvet in great pain, she gritted her teeth and gave him orders with all her might.
"Okay, okay." Brother Elvet's eyes glazed over, and he bent down and walked out of the bedroom with his eyes down.
"How's it going?" Dylan. Matt hobbled over, and he heard the fighting outside the castle, and the figure of Brother Elvet swayed in the light of the flames under the torches planted in the corridors.
"She should be giving birth soon, she should be fine, God forbid, we will all be fine." Brother Elvet spoke incoherently to Dylan. Matt said.
"Didn't I ask Your Highness the Princess, do I mean you have any idea of defending the inner city? Now as the palace minister, you have to take on the responsibility of dà. "Dylan. Matt reminded Brother Elvet.
"I, what can I do, I should have thought that the castle could not be defended at all, and the Earl himself refused to return to rescue his castle, so what use would I have?" Brother Elvet stretched out his sleeve and wiped his forehead, and the forces of Mecklenburg, who had defended off the Pomeranians, had placed them in the outer city, which now had few troops to defend.
"What are you going to do?" Dylan. Matt frowned, he seemed to sense something, so he asked tentatively.
"I mean, send someone to ask for a Pomeranian peace talk first, to buy some time." Brother Elvet to Dylan. Matt said.
"Peace talks?" Dylan. Matt felt that there was some truth to this, but could the Pomeranians agree to this suggestion? Now Mecklenburg is just meat in their mouths.
"Yes, is there anything else we can do? There were fewer than a hundred men in the inner city, but the Pomeranians numbered in thousands. Brother Elvet clasped his hands and looked at Dylan worriedly. Matt said.
"Where's Lord Soros?" Dylan. Matt looked around, and the important ministers should be involved in such a serious decision.
"Hmph, that Jew, I'm afraid he has already run away." Brother Elvet pursed his mouth, the Jews were very cunning and had an extremely keen sense of smell, and if the momentum was not right, he would have fled long ago.
"Okay, let's do what you said first." Dylan. Matthew nodded and agreed to Brother Elvet's suggestion, and now Brother Elvet was the head of the courtiers left by Arrod, and he had the right to make a heavy decision.
"I'll go and arrange for the messenger." Brother Elvet straightened his crumpled robes from panic before striding away, Princess Josie's groans of pain echoing through the hallway.
"Hmm." Dylan. Matt stood at the door of the bedroom for a moment, as if pondering something, before walking in the direction of Miss Shirley's room. R1152
