26 Raid on Harbor Wall

We also remember that during the "Sand Spirit Crisis", Parrett sailed with Domi to Overwatch Island to receive the villagers of Spreet who had been teleported here by wind chimes, and these villagers had been deemed missing by the Empire, and the search was fruitless many times. Since Domi's hired ship was too small, he had to bring back a few villagers to report to the Empire's harbor first, and Parrett took advantage of the opportunity for the Archon of Wall Harbor to ask the villagers and stole the defense map. After handing over the defense map to Domi, he ended his mission and chose to disembark and return to Windwalk. As for what happened to Domi and what he did, Parrett didn't know.

"It turns out that Domi has long been divined, and we will use this! Sure enough, it's like a god! The Green Dragon Mercenary said excitedly and proudly, after all, Domi was also half a member of the Green Dragon Mercenary.

Milo's eyebrows were gloomy, and he was once again shocked by Domi's "terrifying" ability to predict, and this time it was obviously aimed at him, so he couldn't help but wonder in his heart - did Domi have other intentions? If Domi was still on the island, Milo would definitely find him regardless of the purpose and reason for his foreknowledge, but as we know, Domi left Maruyama Island early without saying goodbye, also to prevent Milo from paying too much attention to himself and preventing the "misalignment" from happening.

"Now that we have this defense map, we can easily sneak into the port!" Erin was overjoyed, and her words were also a reminder to Milo that he would be pardoned if he succeeded in quelling the rebellion. Sure enough, Erin's reminder brings Milo's attention back to the rebellion in Wall City, and he begins to ask Captain Finn how to sail, when to do it, and so on, leaving Domi's affairs behind. Parrett and Erin are also actively involved in discussing the plan, and they have already decided to infiltrate the harbor with Milo, much to the relief of Milo, who has received the support of love and love.

Kelan and the Green Dragon mercenary found a secluded place to talk about Elder Agatha, and the mercenary didn't show much sadness about her departure, "This is the Elder's choice, and it is also her fate, we have long understood that this day will come, and you don't have to be sad, Lady Dupont." The mercenary comforted Kolan, who nodded with a wry smile.

"I want to ...... You must have the 'Memory Quest Spell Stone' with you, right? Kelan asked.

"Yes, Domi specifically instructed it. Did you guess something? ”

"Well, I can guess what's going to happen." Kelan said confidently, and the mercenary smiled, as if he had reached some consensus.

……

Before the plan was finalized, everyone went to the cave inside Maruyama mentioned by the Green Dragon Mercenary, and saw two warships docked here: not as big as expected, but the small ships have the characteristics of small and flexible, each ship can accommodate twenty sailors, and is hired by the Green Dragon Mercenaries and Domi, a large part of them are retired British Navy soldiers, when they heard that they were going to Wall Harbor to quell the rebellion, they almost responded in groups, and did not even want to be paid - after all, it was to fight against the former enemy, There is a mentality of revenge for national hatred and family hatred.

After Captain Finn negotiated with the captains of the two clippers, they analyzed the defense map together and gave specific recommendations for action. Melo quickly put together all kinds of suggestions, instructed the ship's boss to prepare the corresponding supplies, and rewarded the sailors with his own money. After a busy night of preparation, on the morning of June 7, the two clippers quietly sailed out of Maruyama's cavern, with Captain Finn's Union closely behind.

Milo, Erin, and Koran are aboard the Union, while Parrett and the Green Dragon Mercenaries are on two clippers. Captain Finn somehow got a set of the Dragon's Empire military rattan armor, which was exactly the same as the one that Erin originally equipped, and when the captain showed it to everyone, Erin found a long-lost familiarity in the vine armor. Captain Finn proposes to equip Erin with a vine armor for the upcoming operation, but Erin eventually chooses the saber-toothed tiger skin coat, which was given to her by Milo.

Three days later, the three ships sailed to the outer seas of the harbor of Wall Harbor, west of the coast of Split, where the sprawling harbor and town were faintly visible. The three boats tried to avoid being in the line of sight of the harbor patrol vessels until nightfall.

On the night of June 9, the raid on Port Wall began.

——

According to the plan, the two clippers, who had already figured out the route of the patrol ship according to the port defense map, turned off their lights and shuttled very close to the port dock with dexterity and swiftness - because the dock was brightly lit, they would expose themselves if they approached, so the two clippers lowered the dinghy, and all the crew boarded the dinghy and went ashore in the night. Before leaving the clipper, the crew made a simple timed ignition mechanism out of candles and gunpowder, and when the two groups of people smuggled ashore, the two clippers exploded and caught fire almost simultaneously!

"It worked!" Parrett, who had already been smuggled ashore, said excitedly, and then led the sailors to assemble at the designated place. On the other side of the harbor, the Green Dragon mercenary also successfully led the sailors ashore, and when he saw the explosions and flames of the two clippers attracting the patrol boats, he showed a satisfied smile, "It's up to you!" Melo Entekoman. ”

Harbor bells blared, patrol boats patrolled around the two burning ships, and the harbor guards stared at the sea, but no matter how much they searched, they still couldn't find any enemies.

The Union in the distance, seeing two explosions, also quietly sailed into the harbor and successfully docked at the edge of the harbor - no one noticed the Union, and all the patrol ships and harbor guards were attracted by the fire of the two clippers at sea. Disembarked from the Union were Milo, Erin, Koran, and ten armed sailors, along with the captain himself.

"We'll wait." Milo ordered everyone to hide behind low walls, barrels, goods, and trees, and wait and see what was going on at the other end of the harbor. Erin approached Milo with his usual bolt-action rifle, only to see him clench the weight ball at the back of the hilt of the steel sword in his hand - he had chosen such a weapon so that he could use the weight ball to smash the enemy who was heavily protected by the armor, and more importantly, he did not want this raid to cause unnecessary casualties: on the one hand, the rebels were all Imperial soldiers with a sense of honor, and the rebellion was not intended; On the other hand, the main members of the raid were British sailors, and the two countries are currently in the armistice phase, and if there is an exchange of fire, some diplomatic disputes will inevitably occur. The main plan of action this time is to lead the sailors to create all kinds of chaos, attract the attention of the harbor guards, and create an opportunity for Milo and the others to infiltrate the city and smash into Sevia's lair. Of course, there is also the urgent question of knowing where Sevia is located in the city.

Moments later, a fire erupted from a warehouse near the docks, followed by an even more intense fire that engulfed the wooden building—a work that Parrett had led the sailors to do!

"It's on fire!" "Did the enemy do it?" "Hurry up, put out the fire!" The harbor was filled with shouts, but the well-trained guards were chaotic, and the firefighting and search were carried out in an orderly manner. But what happened next was to plunge the port into complete chaos - "Boom! There was a loud bang, and the whole port trembled! There was an explosion at a small ammunition depot not far from the pier! For a moment, the water splashed on the sea, and the patrol ships stopped patrolling in circles, and all attention was turned to the ammunition depot where the explosion occurred: the raging fire completely engulfed the surrounding buildings, and also lit up the entire port and coast, and the explosions continued to sound one after another, and the billowing smoke drifted into the air, like the light of fire, straight into the sky, quickly obscuring half of the starry sky!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "The defenders realized that this chain of events was not an accident, and that there must be an enemy lurking in the harbor! A voice suddenly sounded: "Hurry up and go to the monastery and inform the commander of Severia!" The port is under attack, the number of enemies is unknown, and it is likely that a warship is coming, asking for reinforcements! ”

"Monastery." Milo said softly, and Erin on the side also clenched the musket in her hand, and angry flames appeared in her eyes.

A panicked voice suddenly sounded: "Hey! There's—" but was quickly stopped! Milo, Erin, and the sailors followed the direction of the sound to see Koran push a heavily armed guard to the ground, and the guard did not struggle, presumably fainting. Captain Finn quickly ordered the sailors to evacuate the place and move in the direction of the city, and Melo cautiously checked the surroundings, and it seemed that the guard's abrupt shouting did not attract any attention, and then followed the sailors as well.

"Well done! Kolan. Melo softly praised Koran for knocking down the guards in one fell swoop. Koran smiled and waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing of a big deal, since she had given the white wooden cane (the Royal Sword of the Dragongon Empire) to Umi Liu, she had no weapon in her hand. Milo and the others had never seen Kolan fighting, and they didn't even know what weapons she was good at using, but judging from the situation just now, even if she was bare-handed against the heavily armed Imperial Guards, Kolan could deal with it with ease and defeat the enemy with one move, and she deserved to be the world's second-ranked battle mage.

As Melo and the others began to infiltrate the center of Wall City, another warehouse in the harbor was on fire, apparently with Parrett or the Green Dragon mercenaries leading the sailors to continue the destruction. "May they get out of it all right." Erin prayed for them, "May we find the sinners of the Empire with success!" ”

……

The infiltration process was relatively smooth, due to the curfew in the city, the group used various terrain, buildings, and obstacles to hide themselves, and managed to evade several groups of guards assembled towards the harbor, while Captain Finn and the sailors knocked out the guards standing guard with their sticks...... Soon, Milo and the others came to the vicinity of the monastery.

There were no lights (in times like the absence of torches at night would be suspicious), and the environment and conditions of the monastery and its surroundings were obvious, but there was one problem that made it difficult for the intruders - the monastery was surrounded by at least two stories of walls, heavily guarded at the main entrance, and patrolled back and forth around the perimeter of the high walls. Milo and the others and the sailors were scattered in a nearby alley, separated from Sevia by a high wall.

Captain Finn said to Milo, "I'll ask you to look around for a proper ladder, but the wall is a bit high......"

"They wouldn't be stupid enough to have such a high ladder nearby," said Erin half-mockingly to the captain, "and that's an act of asking for trouble for themselves." It's better to lure the patrols and guards away, and let's rush in again!" ”

"No, no." Milo denied, "The guards here are the last line of defense, and they won't be so easily lured away, so it's safest to sneak in." ”

"Then the problem is back, how do you turn it over?" The captain spread his hands and said helplessly, and in an instant his face changed, and his eyes were fixed on the end of the alley - "Someone! Milo, Erin, and Koran turned their eyes in the direction the captain was pointing at the same time, and sure enough, they saw a figure standing at the entrance of the alley, and because of the dim light, it was impossible to see the man's face, but one thing was certain: the man was looking into the dark alley.

"Keep your head down." Melo said in a breathless voice, but he soon noticed that something was wrong: the man at the entrance of the alley, he was alone, and he was not holding a torch or an oil lamp!

"Isn't he a guard?" When Melo thought this, the man made a gesture that no one expected—holding the middle of the scabbard of the long sword, holding it high above his head (indicating no hostility or his own people), and slowly walked down the alley. "Don't even move!" The captain immediately gave orders to the sailors in the alley, and the sailors all curled up to avoid being discovered.

However, the man had no intention of stopping, and continued to approach them—as if he knew there were people! Klan tried to get up and act, but was stopped by Milo. What is puzzling is that Milo slowly stood up and walked towards the other party!

"Milo!" Erin called softly, but Milo just waved her hand, still moving forward. Obviously, the figure saw Milo standing up, and he raised his other hand as well, waved it twice, and said something that made the hearts of everyone present hang:

"Milo Enteman, is that you?"
