Section 70: The Princess's Decision
"Ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong~~~." On the walls of Mecklenburg, the Pomeranians raised five wooden ladders on it, and the Pomeranians who came like waves waved all kinds of weapons with greedy desires, and all the hands that Mecklenburg could find climbed the walls, and they fought hard to block the dense Pomeranians like ants, and everyone knew that if the castle was attacked by these pagans of different races and cultures, it would definitely be a catastrophe.
"Boom~~~." A Pomeranian wielding a pitchfork climbed up the ladder, and behind him were more Pomeranians urging him forward, but at this moment a rolling log appeared from the city wall that needed to be carried by two people, and the two ends of the rolling log were connected to iron chains, and the rolling wood was nailed with rusty iron nails, and with a bang, the rolling log was thrown from the wall, and the heavy rolling log broke the brains of the Pomeranian who tried to climb up, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and the two wooden ladders that were built on the city wall were smashed to pieces.
"Ahem, cough, cough~~~." On the other side, the people on the wall of Mecklenburg will also take out a long wooden pole, and put a wooden board in the middle of the wooden pole, and the end of the wooden pole is tied with a lot of chicken feathers and poisonous weeds stained with asphalt, when the defenders ignite these chicken feathers and poisonous weeds and quickly put down the wooden pole, the poisonous smoke will permeate the surroundings of the attackers below, and after inhaling the poisonous smoke, the Pomeranian coughs violently, and even feels that the throat is burned, and some people who can't stand it fall directly from the wooden ladder.
"+Quick, bring the gold juice over." The squire Harun commanded the guards of a section of the wall, and several Mecklenburg civilians carried iron tongs and pots to climb the city wall carefully, but they were frightened by the arrows flying overhead, but in order to stop the Pomeranians, they placed the tongs on the wall stacks and tilted the mouth of the pot, and the boiling water mixed with feces and urine in the tongs pounced on the Pomeranians who were ascending the city.
"It stinks. Why is this thing called golden juice, I think it's dung and urine. A guard with a halberd had to cover his mouth and nose, and they were puzzled by the name of the weapon by Arrod, Earl of Mecklenburg, perhaps because of Arrod's bad taste.
"Ahhh The hot dung juice was poured on the Pomeranians, and many were burned to the core, and even if they survived, they would be accompanied by fever for a long time afterward. For the first time, the Pomeranians were caught off guard by such a large number of defensive weapons.
"Great Chief, our warriors can't attack it, let's think of a way." The Pomeranian aristocracy was distressed to see the heavy losses of their people, who were important soldiers in times of war and farmers who paid taxes in times of peace, each of whom was an indispensable man and property.
"We will not hesitate to break through Mecklenburg, the nobles should not spare the lives of their soldiers, as long as we break through Mecklenburg, we will be able to use endless treasures, and many Mecklenburgers will become your slaves." The Grand Pomeranian chief sat on the ground covered with animal skins. He crossed his legs and stroked his beard, a Pomeranian sword resting beside him, his eyes fixed on the battle of the castle in front of him, and he made a promise to the nobles. "It's a fair price." The nobles around the Great Chief nodded with satisfaction, Mecklenburg had been turned into a large castle run by Arold, and the town was protected by a tall and sturdy wall, and the walls built by the slab method were not inferior to the stone walls, so that the treasures of the rich town of Mecklenburg would not fall into the hands of the Pomeranians without being breached.
"Divide our people into three groups. Take turns attacking Mecklenburg, I'll see if they're iron-clad. A sneer appeared on the corner of the Pomeranian Grand Chieftain's mouth. The numerical superiority allowed him to attack Mecklenburg with ease.
"Your Royal Highness, please don't leave the tower." At this moment, Princess Josie put on a cloak and left the main tower despite the persuasion of everyone, surrounded by several guards and maids, and the streets of the inner and outer towns were deserted, and everyone took refuge in a safe place.
"I have to go to church." Princess Josie hobbled towards the church with the help of her maid. Her face was a little pale but her spirits were much better, and it seemed that Miss Shirley's medicine had worked.
"To church?" Princess Josie's personal maid asked curiously.
"That's right." Princess Josie walked through the dusty and sewage streets, and the group tried to avoid the others as much as possible, because in this chaotic time there would be some ruffians who would take advantage of the opportunity to loot, so it was not the good people who appeared at this time.
"Bang~~~." Just as they were about to cross an alley. Hearing the sound of smashing around the corner, the guards holding the halberd suddenly became alert, they walked to the front of Princess Josie and aimed the halberd in their hands at the place where the sound sounded, and then several men ran over from the corner in a panic, all of them were holding some utensils and belongings in their arms, and the other hand was holding a polished wooden stick and dagger, and the appearance of Princess Josie and the others was also unexpected to them, and the two parties froze there at once.
"You robbers have taken advantage of the opportunity to plunder." Seeing that these villains were openly robbing at the critical moment of Mecklenburg's survival, the guards angrily rebuked and aimed their halberds at them.
"It's a damn nobleman." Those villains were not afraid to back down, and seeing that Princess Josie and the others were smaller, they had the idea of doing another vote, and no one cared about what was happening here at this moment when everyone was in danger.
"Ahh The maids around Princess Josie panicked, they were protected within the high walls on weekdays, and they were protected by soldiers when they entered and exited, not to mention that Mecklenburg under Arold's rule was also a place of good security, but any inhabited area would leave a gap between the rich and the poor, and the suppression of the magistrates and soldiers usually did not show anything, but in the case that Arold led most of the army to attack Watergast, and the number of soldiers left in the castle was insufficient and there were foreign enemies, these malignant tumors showed up one by one.
"Haha, I didn't expect to be able to taste the nobility today." Seeing these noble maids dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing various silver ornaments, the villains couldn't help but get excited, and the shouts of the Pomeranians outside the castle made the noble maids feel creepy, and some of them had already drawn crosses.
"Bell~~~Oh~~~." The villains rushed at the guards with sticks and daggers in their hands. The five guards immediately stabbed the villains with their halberds, and the villains who were not stabbed let out a miserable cry, but the villains were more numerous, and when one of their companions was stabbed, they did not flinch, but rushed up and grabbed the guards' arms and necks, and in the narrow alleys, short weapons such as sticks and daggers were more useful, and the daggers stabbed through the gaps in the guards' armor.
"Protect Her Highness the Princess." The guards did their best to protect Princess Josie from the way she came. But those villains chased after them, and watching the panicked appearance of the nobles who were usually high up in the sky gave great satisfaction to their twisted hearts, and the red-eyed villains only regarded this group of nobles as if they were prey.
"Ahh In retreat, Princess Josie stepped on her dress and fell to the ground, but fortunately the maids beside her grabbed her arm and did not cause more damage, but they were chased by the villains and cornered.
"Haha, little beauty, surrender, I don't want to build a pregnant woman." The leader of the ragged and hideous-looking villain laughed and said. He led his men to force Princess Josie, and the three guards stood in front of Princess Josie and the others, holding their halberds and aiming at the villains who were approaching.
"Brush~~." Princess Josie gasped, suddenly reached out from the waist of the guard in front of her, pulled out a short sword and held it in her hand, she had already made up her mind, if the defense was broken by these villains, she would rather kill herself with a short sword, but pity her unborn child.
"Whoosh~~~." Just as Princess Josie was in a desperate situation, and the other maids couldn't help but complain that they shouldn't leave the inner city, several crossbow bolts flew out from the street corner at the other end, and the crossbow arrows shot at the villains surrounding Princess Josie and the others. Suddenly, a moan of pain rang out from the villain.
"Kill all these bastards." A group of people rushed out of the street corner, with small crossbows in their hands. It seemed that they were firing crossbows at the villains, and the leader of the spies, Harvey, appeared just in time, holding a sword in one hand and a dagger in the other, and beside her was a group of people dressed in various clothes, these people had wooden signs pinned to their chests, and a few drops of blood were drawn on them.
"Damn. It's a member of the Brotherhood of Blood Drops. Seeing the people rushing towards them with wooden signs, the villain leader panicked, he originally thought that he was just catching an ordinary nobleman who wanted to escape from the castle, but he did not expect to alarm the Blooddrop Brotherhood to come out in person, and the legitimate and good civilians may not know the horror of the Blooddrop Brotherhood. But those of them who live in darkness know very well that the fate of those who refuse to cooperate when they are caught by the Brotherhood of Blooddrops is extremely miserable, and these terrible legends have been circulating in the shadows.
"Run." The villains had lost their courage when they saw the Brotherhood of Blooddrops appear, and they scattered to escape, but when they drove Princess Josie into a dead end, it was now a nightmare for them, and when the members of the Brotherhood of Blooddrops blocked the intersection, they were completely caught in the urn.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, you shouldn't have left the inner city at this time." Harvey frowned and put the long sword on her shoulder, and she said to Princess Josie and the others in an unkind tone, at this time, the maids were all frightened and pale with fear of the battle and death in front of them, and no one mentioned Harvey's rude attitude.
"There's one thing I have to do." Princess Josie only felt that her legs were paralyzed, leaning against the body of the maid behind her, but she still said to Harvey.
"Okay, but what are these guys going to do?" Harvey slammed his mouth and looked at the villains who were honestly kneeling in front of him, and asked Princess Josie that these villains were indeed not good people, but Harvey, as the leader of the spies, knew that these people were also valuable sometimes, and it would be difficult to kill them all.
"Forgive us, for God's sake, be merciful." The leader of the villains knelt on the ground with snot and tears mixed together, at this time he already knew that he had attacked the wife of Arrod, Earl of Mecklenburg, if he really hurt Princess Josie, he would definitely not be let go by Arrod, fear made him tremble uncontrollably.
"Let them go to the city walls to help defend them, and if they dare to play tricks, then they don't have to be polite and killed." Princess Josie looked at the leader of the villains like a wretched worm and ordered Harvey.
"Good idea, Your Highness Princess." Harvey was slightly stunned, she probably didn't expect that the seemingly weak Princess Josie would have such a decision, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile, and pointed her long sword at those villains to let her subordinates take away.
"Lord Harvey, take us to the church now, most of my guards need your help." Princess Josie said to Harvey at this time. (To be continued......) R1292
