Chapter 402. The author's scrumming update
The elite troops in the inner city have all disappeared, which is not normal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info If there is no trickery, Levi definitely does not believe it. And he still led his troops further into the inner city, and according to his previous memories, he followed the streets to the Doge's Castle. Because he understands that as long as this building is captured, then Gray Mist City is equivalent to half of it.
The streets along the way are still neat and beautiful. Blooming flowers are still blooming in this autumn. The inner city belonged to the area where the nobles and gentlemen lived, no less than their status. But now, it was stepped on by a pair of brand-new cowhide military boots.
Levi was not a revolutionary who saved the world, nor was he a savior sent by God. It's not even the insurrectionists who represent the people at the bottom and come to change everything. He just wants to overturn the old order and make himself the maker of the new order, nothing more. In other words, he came for power and wealth!
Therefore, it is impossible for Levi to withdraw his troops at will, and he will not wantonly indulge his troops to loot in the inner city. Even if some nobles left their salutes on the streets, at a glance, they knew that they were full of precious items, but no one cared. As long as Levi didn't give the order and let his troops pick it up, then no one would look at the package, which might be full of large silver coins, as if they were seeing a pile of useless waste!
They're moving fast!
The flintlock pistols were all on their shoulders, and the privates walked briskly one after another. Beside him and at the forefront, are the Barbary pirates with their scimitars. They are responsible for using their lives as sharp blades to carve the way to the Doge's Castle.
Behind, native archers, Spanish guerrillas, and cannons drawn by horses slowly followed, escorted by Levi and his cavalry. However, the road was still calm, without the slightest trace of the enemy, as if they had gone deep into an empty city with no people.
Frowning slightly, Levi's face became more and more gloomy. He didn't understand what was going on, so he couldn't help but grit his teeth and ask, "Did the reconnaissance team find an accident?" ā
The reconnaissance troops had already dispersed, and in the surrounding streets, several Barbary pirates and privates, as well as indigenous archers, cooperated with each other to form a reconnaissance team, as fine as a fishing net, as the troops advanced, they were also searching for possible enemies.
But everything was very calm and nothing unexpected happened. The information returned by the reconnaissance team was that except for the occasional panicked nobles and gentlemen who appeared in sight, the enemy's large forces had all disappeared.
"Your Majesty, the Governor's Castle is ahead."
Wilmot had already walked over quickly, his face extremely solemn. Then came the more tragic siege battle, which was no longer on the city walls, but on the fortified castles. These medieval castles, with a lot of firepower, are still hot for them.
So he came to Levi's side, slowly calmed down the restlessness in his heart, and asked Levi, "Shall we launch a general attack directly?" After a pause, he said in a somewhat anxious tone: "We don't know where those troops in the inner city have gone, if we attack the governor's castle and are flanked from front to back, the consequences will be quite miserable." ā
"Of course I do." Levi frowned similarly. But it is impossible for them to continue to retreat, they have already come here, and if they retreat, it will undoubtedly be a failure. With the prepared Grey Mist City, if you want to continue to attack the inner city as you are now, then the price to pay will inevitably be even greater.
"Go on the offensive." Levi's order was delivered. In order to solve the Grey Mist City once and for all, then directly capturing the Governor's Castle is the best choice. Now Levi was sure that his attack was absolutely sudden, even the Governor and the nobles in the entire Grey Mist City would never have thought of an attack from him today!
Maybe these nobles are still fighting each other and watching each other. But once the Governor's Castle falls, these nobles, who are like scattered sand, will definitely not continue to unite to resist. Because in the face of absolute power, no one will stupidly choose to resist.
Even the mages are the same. They did not play their part, even at the city walls. These mages all quietly hid in their corners, quietly watching the deadliest attack since the establishment of Grey Mist City, and they were also waiting.
Last time, the attack from the South Roaring Sea made the Doge's Castle choose to turn to the power of the mages, making these mages the third faction in the Grey Mist City, and so important that they could almost be counted as another Doge's Castle.
Now, these mages have taken it a step further, and perhaps in their opinion, not all of the power of Grey Mist City is in the hands of the Governor. The original rebel nobleman, Prince Morton from the South Roaring Sea, had already created a huge gap between the Mage's Tower and the Doge's Castle.
Now, this gap is about to grow into an insurmountable abyss. If the Governor's Castle and those nobles continue to choose the faintly hostile mage tower, then this extremely deadly offensive for Grey Mist City, these mages will not continue to appear on the frontal battlefield, even if there is a previous agreement.
There is not much conflict between the Mage Tower and Levi, and even because of Moulton's relationship, the two sides can still have some contact. So these mages didn't panic at all, because the most panicked ones had all run to the Doge's Castle.
The current Governor's Castle is densely packed with elite guards in the inner city, as well as the field troops in Gray Mist City, except for a few important points, which are controlled by the Governor's Guards, the other areas are all troops in the inner city that can accept the Governor's order and are willing to come to the Governor's Castle to garrison.
Even around the Governor's Castle, in the small square close to three or five hundred meters, there were already elite guards in the inner city armed with halberds on guard. And at the top of the Governor's Castle, in several towers, mages wearing hoods also exist, after all, the Governor's Castle is not without attraction to these mages who have mastered mystical abilities.
"Levi? Who are you. ā
At the very top of the Doge's Castle, inside the watchtower, Paul's butler's face was extremely depressed. He took a deep breath, and there was even more gloom on his meticulously groomed face. Slowly stepping back, he needed to report to his governor, after all, he was in this castle, just a butler.
