Chapter 230

The king of Brugg was panicking today. At dawn, the court warlock reported that two griffons were hovering over the palace. He just thought it was strange at the time, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, this is the palace, hundreds of elite soldiers, not to mention two griffins, twenty of them are also delivering food.

A few minutes later, the Warlock rushed in again. But this time, before he could open his mouth, he was blown away by a cloud of flames. Flames rained down from the sky and smashed the gates of the palace into ruins. The king was stunned for three seconds before realizing that the palace had been attacked.

The attack was very strange and came from heaven. To be exact, the two griffons were throwing fireballs from the sky. It was a burning alchemy bottle. When it hits the ground, it emits a violent explosion and flames. His magic advisor died under this thing.

By the way, that rookie wizard was just a wandering warlock, and his royal finances were destined to not be able to hire Erethusa, or the graduates of Ban Ade, as advisors.

A dozen fireballs in a row blew up the entire palace and turned one person on his back. The king gathered his army like crazy and prepared to fight back. However, by the time the heavy crossbows were adjusted, the two griffons were long gone. And that's not all, according to the guards, they clearly saw that the two griffons had someone on their backs.

The king felt that the world was crazy, otherwise how could anyone throw fireballs at his palace on griffins. He was now very insecure, so he gathered a large army and guarded the palace.

By the way, the regular army of the entire Brugg was about one and a half thousand people. Three hundred men were the permanent garrison of the royal palace, and six hundred were stationed around the city. The rest are stationed in the remaining two provinces (three cities in total). In this way, the capital garrisoned nine hundred, and he gathered eight hundred around the palace. There were only a hundred guards left at the gates.

There was a rush of confusion at dawn that caused the soldiers on the walls to talk. The attack on the palace was a novelty for them.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly noticed that a puff of sand and dust appeared in the distance of the city wall. He was an experienced veteran, and at a glance he could tell that it was dust from a cavalry charge. It's just that this picture makes him a little blind. After all, the city gates are closed now, even if it is cavalry? Isn't that still possible to jump on the city wall on horseback?

However, due to his profession, he quickly raised the alarm.

"Enemy attack......" he shouted, subconsciously wanting to greet the people around him. But as soon as he turned around, a crossbow arrow pierced his throat with precision. The city wall was in chaos, and a group of black-clad men who came out of nowhere quickly attacked the guards on the city wall with short crossbows.

They strike quickly and ruthlessly. Use short crossbows, throwing axes, and other weapons to quickly reduce the number of guards on the walls. The number is not large, only about thirty or so. But two consecutive waves of crossbow arrows, plus two waves of throwing axe attacks, directly cut most of the hundred soldiers in half. The rest have also lost their fighting spirit.

The signal had been given, but the guards on the other side of the palace were a little far away. And at this time, a large amount of debris inexplicably appeared on the streets, hindering the soldiers' return to defense. In just five minutes or so, the walls had fallen.

The attackers quickly pulled the winch of the wall and raised the gates. At this time, some of the soldiers had already returned to the defense. When they saw the gates of the city opened, they were so frightened that their souls flew halfway. Suppressed by the archers, they began to attack the walls with all their might. They had even seen the figure of cavalry outside the city. Within a few minutes, the other party will reach the city, and then they will lose their greatest support.

However, the attackers on the walls did not directly apply to them. They took out some kind of delicate alchemy bottle. A small switch on it was flipped and a flame lit up. Then throw it out quickly. Explosions and flames instantly destroyed the passage to the upper wall. Then the attacker directly used shields, corpses and other obstacles to protect himself, and cowered in a corner and did not fight back.

This hand made the soldiers completely desperate. Some soldiers braved the flames and tried to force their way through. But as long as that kind of flame is contaminated a little, it will be like a maggot on the tarsal bone, which cannot be extinguished, and eventually burns people alive. Even if a few can pass. It is also impossible to dodge the sudden appearance of crossbow arrows.

More and more soldiers rushed over. But they were unable to recapture the walls. The cavalry, as well as the soldiers, wanted to set up a position to resist the onslaught. But what I didn't expect was that the other party didn't want to usher in the spear like the traditional cavalry at all. Meeting is a wave of throwing.

This time, it's some kind of explosive potion. The shock wave blew up the hastily set formation. Numerous cavalry rushed into the crowd, and a one-sided slaughter began.

Temolia, the royal palace. King Foltest was frowning at a piece of information. Just today at noon, he received the news. A vassal of Temeria, Brueg. In the early morning of the day, it was attacked by neighboring Sintra.

The news made King Foltest frown. Brugg is the place where Sintra and Temeria are at odds. But for many years, Temeria suppressed Sintra and occupied Brugger. He knew that Queen Carantor was obsessed with it. But I didn't expect the other party to really dare to do it.

But in any case, Temoria is not a master who allows others to bully and not fight back. Fltest immediately summoned his military commander and various ministers, and began to gather troops to aid Brugg.

"Sintra has done it. There must be a certain degree of certainty. I estimate that Brugg will last five days at most. I need you to gather 5,000 troops in two days, and then gallop to the aid of Brugg. Everyone here will cooperate with you in the follow-up preparations. ”

And just as they were discussing the specifics of the rush, another soldier rushed in. Such break-ins occur only in the case of an emergency military situation. This made Foltest feel a little bad.

The soldier stepped forward and handed over a small bamboo tube. Inside is the information transmitted by carrier pigeons.

When Foltest opened the note, he was stunned. The ministers below did not know what was going on, only that their king had a very bad face.

After a long time, Foltest finally spoke.

"The army continues to build, but there is no need for reinforcements."

"But Your Majesty, Brugg won't last long." As soon as the general spoke, he didn't feel right. He thought of a terrible result, but he couldn't believe it.

"It really won't last long. Brugg has fallen. Foltest said weakly. The entire hall was instantly silent.
