Chapter 335: Brienne's Smile
After saying that, the stone intimidated Rep, and ignored how the earth-colored mercenary leader begged for mercy, and turned around to return to the carriage behind, when a system prompt suddenly sounded in his head.
The Norsca woman stopped her long legs, which had just been "praised", and a hint of intriguing smile appeared on her face, which was just seen by Fitandila beside her.
Good...... Strange smile.
Soon, the next change made the female city lord forget the inexplicable smile just now, and at the end of the road that could be seen as far as the eye could see, with the ground shaking like thunder, a heart-rending cry came from a distance, getting louder and louder.
These voices of fear and despair soon had a chain reaction, and the seeds of chaos sprouted from behind the crowd lining up to enter the city, and quickly spread among everyone with lightning speed, and the ranks of hundreds of people collapsed in an instant, and all swarms rushed towards the city gates.
All the defenders were also stunned by the sudden turn of events, only Fletcher, who had shown the duty of a veteran of a hundred battles, immediately made a decision, walked quickly to the city gate, stood in front of the gate like a gate god, pulled out the long sword at his waist with a bang, raised it high, and roared loudly:
"Enemy-attack! Close the door! Array! ”
Three words, the first for everyone, the second for the soldiers inside the city, and the third for the outside of the city, each with its own meaning.
The soldiers inside and outside the city woke up like a dream, and after reacting, they immediately began to assemble according to their usual training and gathered at the gate.
At the same time, with a loud creaking sound, the steel casting door began to slowly close, but at this speed, it would take at least two or three minutes.
But the crowd is already coming, and every second counts!
"The people outside the city listened, and they were not allowed to go forward, and all the parts stood against the wall on both sides! The musketeers of the city will protect you! If you want to live, don't move, don't hear! Don't rush forward! ”
Seeing that the situation was critical, Fletcher immediately let out a hoarse roar, but at this life-and-death juncture, few people seemed to listen to him, although he didn't know what was going on behind it, but this was the "Black Fire Trail", and anything terrible could happen.
The desire to survive is like a relentless whip that instinctively drives people forward, and for them, as long as the gates are not completely closed, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Rushing to the front was a tall mercenary, he didn't hear what the officer was saying at all, he knew one thing, only by entering the city could he live.
Years of mercenary life made him feel that the situation in front of him was more dangerous than he imagined, after all, he had witnessed too many people dying in the wild for so many years.
The gates are not closed yet, and there are still a few steps left, so just go in.
With all his might, just as he crossed the last defender outside the city, the officer, a sharp pain came from his back, and he let out a scream involuntarily, and his feet were as heavy as a sandbag, and then his eyes began to blur, and the city gate, which was so close, suddenly seemed to be extremely distant.
After a few more steps, the tall back of the mercenary fell down at the city gate, and the cold face of Fletcher withdrew the long sword that had been stained red with blood, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly covered by murderous aura, now is not the time to be sentimental.
Before the big iron gate was completely closed, all he had to do was to prevent these chaotic crowds from approaching, because once someone rushed in, it would form an unstoppable torrent, and if there was really an enemy rushing over, the city gate would be opened, which would inevitably cause great disaster.
Years of military career not only allowed him to exercise a keen sense of smell, but also made him grow a hard-hearted heart.
At this time, he had no choice but to make an example, no matter what happened in front of him, he couldn't take risks, and the safest way was to abandon everyone outside the city, including themselves, in order to ensure the safety of more people in the city.
Of course, maybe it's just a false alarm.
After comforting himself in his heart, Fletcher quickly turned around with a murderous face, strode in front of the already rudimentary soldiers, and shouted at the already frightened crowd:
"I repeat, stand against the wall on both sides of the whole part, and give me the look, and whoever rushes to the city gate will end up like him! Get out of the way! ”
"Get out of the way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him took a neat step forward with huge shields and halberds, and shouted in unison.
At this moment, although there were only three hundred of them, the momentum they created was like a thousand troops, and the stones and Fitandi Laqi on the side nodded in unison.
In just a few minutes, you can see the results of the usual training of these soldiers, and likewise, the prestige of Fletcher among them, just by giving an order, these mountain guards formed a six-row rectangular battle formation under the leadership of their respective captains.
In front of the formation, there was a shield wall more than one person high, blocking the soldiers behind him and the city gate together, and behind it were rows of halberds more than three meters long, erected high, like a cold steel jungle.
Seeing this scene, even if they were unwilling, the crowd outside the city had to stop, and they had no choice but to separate to both sides, while looking back anxiously and looking behind them.
What's going on?
The answer was finally revealed, and the soldiers on the city walls finally got the news that they saw the cause of the chaos.
"Beastmen!! It's the Beastmen coming!! ”
At the very front of their line of sight, hordes of beastmen, like a tidal wave, rose from the horizon and were rushing towards the "border town".
Beastmen!? Hearing the bad news, the crowd under the city walls let out a wail, there is no doubt that these merchants who have been walking outside the old world for a long time know the power of these beasts, and once they fall into their hands, there is a good chance that they will be dead.
But their cries of fear were quickly muffled by a neat sonor, and Fletcher was not half surprised by this result, he had already guessed that looking at this formation, it would be either the beastmen or the greenskins, there was no difference.
Under his command, the mountain guards began to strike their weapons against the shields in front of them in unison, making the sound of golden iron horses.
It is worthy of being the elite troops of the most powerful country in mankind, and in such a short time, not only completed the formation, but also had high morale, and was not at all frightened by the upcoming war.
On the other side, the mercenaries, who were also obedient, were also at the foot of the city wall at the urging of Rep, although they were closest to the city gate, they did not rush to the city for the first time, and it was precisely because of them blocking the front that the order at the city gate was not so bad, otherwise I was afraid that more people would rush over.
For this reason, Fletcher made a special chest salute to his new friends not far away, thanking them for their cooperation.
But in fact, Rep is also anxious now, because he doesn't know what is really going on, and no one wants this feeling of fate in the hands of someone else.
"Miss Brienne, Lord of the City, what shall we do? Want to go into battle? ”
Sitting still is not Rep's style, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he found the two real bigwigs and asked.
Before Fitandila could speak, "Miss Brienne" preemptively said:
"No, you're all staying here, I'll go."
