Chapter 100: The Beginning (2)

Unlike the last time Blue and Krishanna entered the city, there were many more guards outside the city than they had then, and their mental state was much worse.

This is because of the tense atmosphere in the city for a while, as well as the lack of manpower, they are on duty almost twenty-four hours a day, and they are of course in a poor mental state when they can't get rest.

On the new day, the guards hung their weapons crookedly on their iron hoops, and in one hand they carried coarse bread into their mouths, and in the other hand they held mare's milk buckles with leather armor.

"Damn, I only slept for less than an hour."

"Ha, you're good, when I got home, the mother-in-law was still babbling in my ear about what was expensive and what couldn't be bought...... I didn't fall asleep for a minute. ”

"Then why didn't the damn blue dragon come and burn that Charlie, so he wouldn't have to arrange for us to work like a life-urging ghost every day."

"That's it, that bastard, other people's squads at least have time to rest, why are we on duty every time?"

“……”

They dragged their sleepy bodies and stood at their posts, their mouths occasionally spitting out vicious curses and rude complaints about the present situation.

Although they kept complaining, they were still responsible, and they sat on the railing only after they had set up the guardrail and rejected the horses with skillful movements.

In the past, even if it was so early, there would have been a large number of merchants and people waiting to enter and leave the city.

For them, time is money, and in order to make a living for a day, it is very common to get up early and work in the dark.

Only now, such a scene has not appeared for more than a month.

Business travel was blocked, cities with tens of thousands of people could not be self-sufficient, there was a shortage of materials, and soaring prices became inevitable.

Just when they thought it was another dull and boring day, suddenly there was a billowing of smoke and dust in the distance.

"What's that?" A new guard asked.

The veteran guards squinted, then quickly climbed up to the lookout and looked into the distance.

If it is a large city, there will be specialized mages and rangers fixed at the lookout to detect the situation, and they can use "vision" and "eagle eye" to probe the situation in the distance.

However, of course, Schars City did not have such extravagance, and the person who walked up to the lookout was just an ordinary veteran, not even a first-class ranger.

After looking carefully, the old soldier's face changed, and he turned his head and shouted: "There are many people rushing towards this side, pay attention to vigilance, pay attention to vigilance!" ”

Damn it!

When both young soldiers and veterans heard the alarm, they immediately sounded the alarm bell, and the alarm immediately sounded throughout the city.

All soldiers and knights who heard the sirens simultaneously reached for the nearest weapons they could reach, and then mounted their horses or rushed to the emergency assembly point as per their training.

The residents of the city also immediately took back their belongings from home, and hurriedly placed the children and the elderly, and then took out their weapons from their homes, waiting for news with concern.

If the enemy attacks, there is no need to mobilize, and they will take the initiative to go to the city gate to help in order to protect their families and wealth.

When the whole city began to move, the north gate, which was the first to be warned, was filled with the sound of nervous movement.

"Antonio, what the hell is going on?"

"How do I know, hell, they're coming!"

The nervous arrivals of the soldiers soon appeared in front of them, only to see dozens of men dressed like caravans rushing towards them on horseback.

"Stop, stop! Damn, give them a flag message, and if they don't stop, we'll release the arrows! The commander shouted above the city gates.

At this time, the city gate has been opened, and the archers have all bent their bows and arrows in the direction of the dozens of outsiders, and only wait for the commander to give an order, countless arrows will rain out, forming a terrifying "rain of death".

The herald next to the commander also ran to the lookout at the city gate at this time, and then raised two flags and began to wave.

It could have been the arrows that flashed with cold light, or maybe it was the herald's flag that had worked, and the dozens of people finally stopped.

The Commander looked at the men with a frown, looking at the frightened faces on their faces and the way they exhaled heavily, not like horse thieves attacking the city.

What the hell are they doing, how do they seem to be hiding something?

The commander's conjecture was quickly answered, and a man stepped out of the middle of the dozens of people, who shouted: "Barney, is it Barney?" ”

The Commander, that is, Barney's eyes lit up, he looked at the comer strangely, and asked loudly, "Alan, what's wrong with you?" What the hell is going on, you are so flustered? ”

Eren wiped the sweat from his face, took a few breaths, and shouted loudly, "Half-ogre, we see the army of half-ogres!" They, they're coming this way! ”

Barney was stunned for a moment, he looked at Alan suspiciously, and asked, "Half-ogre?" What are they here for? ”

Alan also opened his mouth wide and was dumbfounded, and it took him two seconds before he reacted, and said angrily and urgently: "How the fuck do I know what they want to do, anyway, they are all armed with weapons, wearing armor, and murderous!" And at least a few hundred of them! When we saw them, we couldn't help but turn around and run away! Don't say it, it is estimated that they will catch up soon, you quickly open the city gates, let us go in and take refuge! ”

After Barney listened to Allen's words, he also nervously grabbed his long sword, and the tips of his fingers turned white.

Half-ogre? Those mongrels? What are they doing here?

Is it because there is no food, so you want to come here to grab it?

But what is Eren talking about, forget about weapons, half-ogres generally hold stone pillars and wooden sticks as weapons, as for what armor is, I haven't seen half-ogres wear armor.

He looked behind him, at this time, there were already soldiers who were relatively close to him to support, plus the soldiers on this side of his city gate, there were already nearly a thousand, even if Alan was deceitful, he should not be afraid.

"Open the gates and let them in!"

The gate was lowered again as the turntable turned, and Alan and the men behind him looked saved, and then hurriedly drove their horses into the city.

Just as Barney was about to go down and ask Alan about the situation, he suddenly saw a strange noise and dust in the distance.

He stopped his body from turning around and looked back into the distance.

Soon after, a column of half-ogre armies appeared in everyone's sight.

As the other party walked in a neat pace, gradually approaching Schars, Barney's face gradually turned pale.
