Chapter 375. The oppressive and spreading Grey Mist City
On the Ketuf River, the panicked warships and transports of the river almost crowded the river hundreds of meters wide, and the gentle speed of the river, which used to be convenient for boats, was now the greatest obstacle to their escape. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
They wished that the speed of the current under the ship would turn into a torrent that would break through the embankment, and carry them out of the area, for they had seen the horror of Cape City, even more shocking and terrified than when they had gone to attack, the conclusion of the lives of the hoplites who had died miserably.
No one will choose to continue to fight hard, knowing that the final result of this battle is death, but for them, it is impossible to be stupid to hold on to the so-called beliefs, and living is everything.
Even if many of them belong to low-level aristocrats, but who cares about these? If they die, their family will shrink on a large scale, be occupied by other people, and even let their family fall apart, and eventually become ordinary commoners, and even the most miserable and lowly poor.
They didn't want to, so they fled back to Grey Mist, which was the truth, an excuse, and a result.
Soon, the news of the defeat spread to all the nobles' mansions, including the pot-bellied officials in the city hall and the governors in the castle.
I don't know how many nobles began to panic in their hearts, and even began to think about whether to transfer their borrowed maritime merchants who they once knew to take refuge in the South Trumming Sea.
The current Great Silver Plate Island is really turbulent, especially the troops of Gray Mist City have suffered another fiasco, bringing them not the fear of the last time, but real fear, losing to the same enemy twice in a row, and it is also a force that has just risen for not too long, this is simply the biggest nightmare!
As the orders in the Governor's Castle were delivered, the Governor's Guard also appeared directly in front of the mansions of the various nobles, and after a few announcements, the Grey Mist City regained control.
Because of the serious start of the Gray Mist City, the inner city has even implemented strict vigilance, and a large number of elite guards in the inner city have all been assembled, guarding behind the city walls and city gates with long halberds, and all the crossbows that were rarely seen in the past have also been distributed, and the towers of the city gates are also full of crossbowmen and archers.
This is an absolute security mode, when this appearance was once revealed, Gray Mist City was still attacked by the troops of the South Roaring Sea, and the two sides fought hand-to-hand around the city wall, and the blood stained the entire city wall red!
The elite guards in the inner city are all the children of the nobles in the inner city, as well as the children of the gentlemen, of course, there are also civilians who are not from the outer city, but they are all from excellent civilian families with guarantees, as for those who are in the rotten algae gang or other people with gang connections, they are all eliminated.
These forces were guarding the inner city, the last line of defense for the Doge's Castle, and if they wanted to stand here in peace and permanence, they would never be able to use those with evil intentions.
Even at present, the whole inner city seems to know some news, and the number of pedestrians has become much less, except for those servants who buy daily necessities, there are no nobles and gentlemen who go out at all.
Only these elite guards of the inner city, armed with halberds and wearing heavy armor, patrolled one after another, and the scale of hundreds of people formed dozens of patrols, which were led by their respective captains to patrol the streets and corners of the inner city.
They are quite dutiful for their inner city!
In fact, the elite guards in the inner city, the middle and high-level governors, are all controlled by the nobles of the governor's lineage, and they have been tied to this governor, which is equivalent to a loss and a glory, and the interests have been deeply entangled.
This deep-seated entanglement of interests is actually a way for them to trust each other, if they lose this trust, then it is estimated that in the future life, the two sides will have a rift, once the rift occurs, then for them, it is equivalent to falling apart, is a precursor to destruction.
Just like now, after receiving this news, the mansions of many nobles were tightly closed, and no one appeared outside, as if they knew nothing.
They are all waiting for the last news, or rather, everyone is waiting for the Governor's move, this battle was led by the Governor, they are just subordinate nobles who have been blinded, not to mention who knows that those privately cultivated hoplites are their people?
There is an eerie silence in the inner city, and this silence has not spread to the outside world, the outer city and the outer harbor area, the once dominant Rotten Algae Gang has lost its former glory, the leaderless group has brought about fragmentation, and two new gangs occupy the outer city, fighting each other to annex each other.
The Rotten Algae Gang still exists, still occupying the relatively prosperous outer harbor area, after all, they still have the backing of the city defense team, although they have lost the outer city, but they have not decayed quickly.
As for the city walls in the outer city, most of them are now in charge of that group of mercenaries, these fierce guys, even the city defense team dare not offend, because these are the three mercenary groups invited by the city hall at a great price, all of them are old soldiers who have been on the battlefield and fought the enemy head-on.
These guys have a completely fierce aura, even the kind of temperament that kills people without blinking, and these city defense teams also clashed with these mercenaries at the beginning, and the result is certainly not surprising.
I only know that the city defense team that eats and waits for death is turned over by these mercenaries on their backs, and finally they all kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, so as to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, as for the next disposal, they all give up the city wall to these mercenaries, and they are only responsible for security patrols in the city.
The turbulence under the dark tide, no one knows when, this dark tide will evolve into a crazy tsunami, overwhelmingly burying the entire Gray Mist City underneath.
At least some people know that the South Tsunami Fleet, which once arrived, was an expeditionary fleet, which could not last too long, and although it was fatal, it could grit its teeth and persevere.
However, Cape City, located on the east coast, is a real cancer, if this town cannot be wiped out as early as possible, then it is really uncertain who will be the boss of Dayinpan Island in the future. But it is worth mentioning that all the nobles know in their hearts that this cancer has begun to spread.
