Chapter 508: An Eventful Night
At five o'clock in the afternoon, with the cold evening breeze, the night fell early.
Thanks to the fact that most of the 80,000 survivors in the base are hungry and thin-skinned, and they are insensitive to external things. As long as the normal food supply is restored and a small number of ambitious guys are killed, the turmoil in the outer city will easily subside.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the entire He'an base was already silent, and there was no voice.
However, the real danger of the Guild of the Rescuers has only just begun to come.
During the day, the Survivors' Guild was able to easily suppress the entire scene, relying on unilateral air supremacy and a large number of reconnaissance eagles to patrol non-stop. After nightfall, the effectiveness of the Scout Eagle is greatly reduced, and the Rescuers' Guild's control over the He'an base is seriously reduced. Some of the "rats" who held back during the day and did not move are likely to show their heads.
"Listen, everyone, no rest is allowed tonight. Keep your eyes open, the slightest sound could be a harbinger of an enemy attack! ”
"Light up all the torches you can light! The lighting stone is also taken out! Within 100 meters of each station, it should be brightly lit! ”
"Don't be held back by the commotion that the enemy might create, even if someone sets fire everywhere! After dawn, naturally someone will dispose of it! ”
"Always pay attention to the movement in the He'an Guild, Lieutenant General Han may make a desperate bet and take the initiative to launch a night attack!"
"Pay attention to the family area in the inner city, it must be controlled by us!"
Targeted orders were issued in advance, and all the departments of the Rescuers' Guild, which had been prepared for a long time, also realized the danger of the first night after they entered the city. Up to Fang Jin, Lu An, Wei Gong, Wang Guan and other high-level leaders and the leaders of each bronze group, down to every member of the Rescuer Guild, they all showed the highest vigilance.
The night is dark and the wind is high, and the killing machine is like a tide!
………
Hundreds of torches and a large number of lighting stones lit up the dark He'an base in many places. But in the dark corners where the light could not shine, a large number of professionals from the He'an base, who had been scattered during the day and lurked in various parts of the city, took advantage of the familiar terrain and began to act one after another.
Those who are steadfast hostile to the Guild of the Rescuers, or who fear that the world will not be in chaos, may be only a small fraction of the lurkers. But even so, after some of them secretly connected together, it was enough to pull up a team of as little as a dozen, as much as dozens or even nearly a hundred.
Here, after all, it is the home of He'an people!
Sporadic fights and screams were heard far away in the dark night. But in the face of the sheer guard of the Guild of the Dead, the occasional attack was particularly weak.
Until 12 midnight, the whole first half of the night was quite peaceful.
The real turmoil really began in the second half of the night.
The south gate of He'an base!
Parts that were damaged during the day have been restored after temporary emergency repairs. The 25-ton alloy steel gate was re-closed. At this moment, a large number of torches illuminate the vicinity as if it were daylight. The firelight stretched half a street outward, and any enemy who tried to get open close would be spotted far away.
The two teams of professionals in charge of the night vigil vigilantly watched the streets and alleys in front of them, and most of their bodies were placed behind the makeshift shelters that were being repaired.
It doesn't seem to be a great power.
But the two teams of night watchmen knew very well that they were only paralyzing the enemy's ornaments on the surface. In the dark corner ahead, there are at least 10 Bronze Thieves. Above the city wall behind himself and the others, at least 40 archers, mages and priests were secretly arranged. In the temporary parking area on one side, there are all the remaining bronze steps waiting for reinforcements at any time.
The reason for this arrangement is to attract those who are strongly hostile to the Guild of the Savior, so that they mistakenly think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and then take the initiative to jump out.
Otherwise, if you are too tough and don't give them a chance, you will end up being transformed by potential enemies into the Rescuer's Guild, and it will be difficult to find them out.
This kind of show of weakness and looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside has obviously deceived many people.
At about 1 o'clock in the morning, a team led by five or six bronze ranks successively gathered more than twenty gray iron professionals. Realizing that they already had a certain strength to make waves, they secretly targeted these two teams of night watchmen.
Using one of them's equipment skill [Fog Darkness] as a cover, these professionals crept close to dozens of meters under the cover of the gray fog.
By the time the inconspicuous fog was about to dissipate, the warriors at the front were already approaching the charge.
But at this moment, an inconspicuous wave erupted at the intruder's feet, and with continuous explosions and decelerations, large swaths of thorns with sharp barbs broke through the ground, tying up five or six panicked sneak attackers.
- They narrowly escaped the trap in front of them, and finally stepped on the densest trap belt behind!
"It's exposed, kill!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the five or six bronze steps of the He'an base who were in the lead let out a low shout and waved their weapons to kill.
In their expectations, the two teams of night watchmen who were attacked by themselves and others should be panicked. But in fact, when the distance was closer, the attackers only saw sarcasm and pity in the eyes of the members of the Salvation Guild on the other side.
"Not good!"
One of the attackers, who reacted quickly, chuckled in his heart, realizing that he had been tricked by the others.
However, this discovery came too late.
A rain of arrows and spells fell head-to-head from the walls behind them, catching the attackers off guard. Then, the cold, poisonous dagger blade creeps out from the back or throat of the attacker.
There was no need for more people to show up, and the sneak attackers had already been easily routed in just one ambush.
The gray iron-level cannon fodder that followed, some of them were even so unlucky that they didn't even let out a scream, and they were directly killed by the amazing damage.
In just half a minute, Namdaemun fell back into calm.
As the corpses on the ground were quickly cleaned up, and the blood stains were also cleaned by the water spells of the mages, it was as if the calm of the first half of the night had been restored, as if nothing had happened.
The attack on the south gate side was just one of many attacks in the second half of the night.
Compared to this sneak attack, which did not cause any casualties to the Rescuers Guild at all, the two largest and more threatening attacks came from the opposition faction and the Heavenly Fury Guild at the He'an base, respectively.
After realizing that the Salvation Guild, a strong dragon that crossed the river, was trying to swallow the entire He'an Guild, these scumbags who had once opposed Commander Hong and now began to oppose Lieutenant General Han finally regarded the Salvation Guild as the most threatening enemy. Although these short-sighted, power-fighting guys have not contributed to humanity, they do have some power in their hands thanks to their status in the old civilization.
At around three o'clock in the morning, a group of 14 bronze rank and more than 80 gray iron professionals secretly completed the assembly and launched a fierce attack on the members of the Savior's Guild guarding the inner family area.
