Chapter 129: The City of St. Dantier

The first rays of the morning sun shine on the city of Saint-Dentier, the magnificent buildings are dyed a warm yellow, the dark and cold tones are dispelled, and the thousand-year-old capital of Nosval seems to come to life at once.

In the wealthy area near the palace, the well-dressed butlers were already busy with the nobles' breakfast, while in the outermost commoner areas, people opened their doors one after another and exchanged a simple word or two with their neighbors, and the city gradually became lively.

"Hi Rick! Have you heard, the barbarians will be coming in soon! ”

"What? The barbarians of the North? Didn't the army drive them back to the north? ”

The neighbor had a disgusted expression of "why don't you know anything", looked around, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he whispered: "I also heard from others, the city has spread, the barbarians are on the side of the Silver Valley, and it is ten days away from us, and the north has almost fallen." ”

Looking at Rick, who looked shocked and stunned, the neighbor said again: "Don't you see that there are more and more refugees outside the city?" They all fled south, but the regent was unwilling to let them into the city, and yesterday the daughter of the old Donnie of the blacksmith shop came back, just outside the city, and there were soldiers who stopped them from entering, which made Old Donny angry, and made a big fuss at the city gate, and finally almost lost his life. ”

"Oh my God, is the royal capital in danger too?"

"I don't know...... neighbor's expression was not good, and he began to complain: "The price of barley flour in the city has risen, and even the black bread has three silver coins." ”

Rick also complained: "My daughter hasn't eaten meat in half a year. ”

"I still want to eat meat!" The neighbor exaggerated: "You can't buy rum, let alone meat, I advise you to take out all the silver coins to buy food, this battle will not end for a while......"

In the whispering discussion between the two, a light streaked across the sky, and then there was a loud bang, the sound of a building collapsing, and under the dust, the people looked in one direction in horror.

"What's wrong!"

"What a sound!"

"It's the Church of Light! The church collapsed! ”

At the end of the street, the church of the Holy Light collapsed, and the fire burned in the rubble, and people ran back to their homes in panic.

It turned out that a boulder mixed with oil had hit the church, and someone could see the trajectory of the stone in the air, which was thrown from outside the city.

Some people are talking outside the church, and many more are hiding in their homes, because there is only one way to do it.

It's the barbarians who have called!

The bells of the city of Saint-Dentier were struck, and groups of soldiers ran up the walls, looking nervously into the distance.

A few kilometers outside the city, a barbarian figure wearing animal skins and bare chests appeared, and a catapult also appeared in the distance.

The elite of the regent has been sent to fight in the Silver Valley, and there are only 60,000 horses of the Praetorian Guard in the royal capital, these soldiers of the Praetorian Guard have never received the baptism of war, and usually only maintain law and order in the city.

"How could a barbarian appear in the royal capital!" After carefully seeing that there was a barbarian army in front of him, the officer defending the city said nervously and suspiciously.

"Are the people on the front line all rubbish! How did you put so many barbarians in! ”

The barbarians were not many in number, but there were several thousand, and they did not form a dense military formation, but connected in several lines, which directly seemed to have an endless feeling, and at this time they were slowly approaching the king, and every time these lines moved, they would bring a great sense of oppression to the Praetorian Guard.

The barbarians on their horses began to charge forward, and the archers on the walls hurriedly aimed at the enemy, but these cavalry avoided the gate of the royal capital and ran to the sides instead.

The nimble cavalry prevented the Janissaries from striking effectively, and the infantry from a distance had been slowly approaching, and until now they had not been in range.

The barbarian cavalry began to set fire to the royal capital, they threw rockets into the city, many of the wooden houses of the civilians were set on fire, the bells and drums in the city were constantly ringing, the people began to put out the fire with basins of water, and the soldiers rushed through it in a panic, trying to find a good position to fight back on the city walls.

But the cavalry was so nimble that every time the archers were in position, they found that even the barbarians were gone, and they seemed to have no intention of attacking the royal capital, but had been wandering outside the city, constantly setting fires and creating chaos.

In fact, there was indeed chaos in the city of Saint-Dentier, and even the regent was surrounded by guards into the basement of the palace, which was an underground bunker built by the first kings of Nosval, which was brightly lit and the tunnels extended in all directions, and could go directly to the outside of the royal capital.

"How did the barbarian army end up here? Has Silver Valley been lost? ”

The age of the regent is about 50 years old, the brother of the old king, Julian's uncle has the royal family's characteristic lake blue eyes, some white hair on the temples, and his face is full of wrinkles.

"I contacted Silver Valley just now through magical communication." The official on the side leaned over and whispered, "The main force of the barbarians in the Silver Valley is still continuing to attack, so it is unlikely that these barbarians are coming from the direction of the Silver Valley. ”

The Regent pondered, and he was surprised by the barbarian cavalry that did not fight.

"Maybe a barbarian army from the direction of Wellenburg on the Eastern Front."

A voice sounded, and all the officials present looked at the man who spoke.

Song Yu smiled lightly, he always maintained that calm and calm demeanor, which was in obvious contrast to the officials with ervacant eyes beside the regent.

"What do you think?" Said the regent.

"The number of these barbarians is not large, and there is not much threat to the royal capital, if I were the commander of the barbarians, I would not let my soldiers come over and die like this." Song Yu said: "And they are also very smart, they just sent cavalry to harass, and did not take siege measures, such an army of unknown origin and strange behavior suddenly appeared, I think there is something wrong with it." ”

The regent nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "What you say makes sense, but I don't know what their purpose is?" ”

Song Yu's brain was running rapidly, putting aside the possibility that a remnant army on the eastern front would be regrouped, and the rest could only be attributed to the reincarnation team, because the main force of the barbarians on the western front was involved in the Silver Valley, and only the eastern front of the east was still in the direction of the enemy.

The core of this dungeon was the battle of the three regiments, and the first feeling he had when he saw those barbarian cavalry was that the enemy team had attacked.

It's just that this formation makes him feel strange, what is the other party going to do?
