Karan, the gateway from the north to the south, is strategically located due to its location on the swamps.
Things did not go beyond the expectations of Jue, Vagslo and others, and the radicals soon sent troops to attack Karan.
Fortunately, Denham had the foresight to take control of it long before the meeting began, so that the Conservatives were not in a very bad situation. However, the soldiers who remained in Kahlan still faced the danger of being overwhelmed by a large number of enemies.
On the city walls, the Guardian of Kahlan City looked at the forest in the distance. He knew there were a lot of TRP soldiers in there. But there was one thing he was curious about, why these people hadn't attacked the city until now. He is not unaware of the current situation, if the city of Karan is in an emergency, then the Conservatives will definitely send troops to support Karan, so there will be problems with the defense of the west, so that the Radicals will easily control the west. Why do you want to put Kahran's hard bone in the back and gnaw on it?
"Lord Taishou!" a soldier on the city wall called out to the man who was leading them, "we don't have enough supplies to last another month." β
"Is it net supplies?"
"No, there's also a batch of supplies collected from the citizens of the city. The soldier said.
"Is that so...... If the support doesn't come again, then it's a situation of internal and external troubles......," said the Taishou.
Just then, his phone rang suddenly.
"Hey?...... Lord Vagasloe?!" Taimori's eyes widened when he heard the other man's voice, "What? there's a group of troops gathering here?...... Fifty cavalry troops?!What are you kidding?!This is the Eternal Night Forest, do you want a group of cavalry to fight in the forest to make them die?!"
Faced with the question of Taishou on the other end of the phone, Vagusloh did not answer. In Vagaslo's opinion, Jue's idea should be to connect with the soldiers in Kalan City, and to flee to Karland and exterminate them all.
"If you see that it is not cavalry, then you are allowed to attack. Vagasloe said.
"Okay, okay, I see. Taishou nodded and said.
He understood what Vagsloh meant, he just wanted to attack inside and out.
Taishou hung up the phone, and then looked at the light that was shining outside the cityβthe lighting spell cast by the radical soldiers.
"Lord Taishou," the soldier asked, "what are the instructions of Lord Vagasloe?"
"Tell me to let anyone go if there is cavalry coming from the south, and if it is infantry, there will be no mercy!" said Taishou.
The soldier nodded. But instead of leaving, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed at Taishou.
"What are you going to do?!" Taishou dodged when the dagger was about to stab him.
The soldier waved the dagger in his hand and said, "Conservative scum!
As he spoke, the soldier stabbed his dagger at Taishou.
But apparently Taishou was quicker, and he stabbed the soldier's throat with his sharp nails, then pulled his blood straight out and pooled in his hands.
The soldier who had been drained of his blood instantly turned into a dried corpse, but his eyes were full of confusion and doubt.
"Hmph, I'm more or less a descendant of the side branch of the Fanzhuo family, how could I be killed by a lowly scumbag like you?" Taishou said and looked at the guards who rushed over because of the voice, "Inform the whole army that there is a rebellion within Karan, immediately send someone to control the city gate, and control the commercial road in the city!
"Yes!"
"And!" Taishou suddenly called back the men, "Let all the soldiers sent by the Conservative side wear the Conservative unified armband in case of accidental injury to friendly soldiers!"
"Understood!" said the guards, and went down.
Taishou saw that there was no one around, and then he took out his mobile phone and called Vagaslo.
"Lord Vagaslo, there were rebels in our army just now, so I hereby remind you that you must be careful of the people around you, the Radical Party has infiltrated very strongly!"
After saying that, Taishou hung up the phone.
He looked at the blood ball in his hand, and then followed the path that the guards had left. He followed the soldiers to the south gate of Karan.
Things turned out to be unexpected, and there were many more rebels in the city than Taishou had imagined. However, thanks to Taishou's quick response, the Conservatives were able to control the important door.
"Lord Taishou!" said the soldier standing in front of the door, "there are so many of them, maybe they will enter the city before we do!"
"Hold on! You must not lose control of the city gate!" Taishou said as he tried the blood ball in his hand to unleash a needle-like attack on the enemy, "Support will come soon! And it is a cavalry with strong assault ability! It must have a certain effect in the city!"
Taishou's words have a certain degree of motivation, but they are not permanent.
Reinforcements did not arrive, and the soldiers who hid in the doorways fought from morning to dusk. However, such a record was also completed by relying on the geographical advantage of the door.
"Taishou-sama, why hasn't the support come yet!" Some of the soldiers couldn't hold it anymore, and they began to turn their anger on Taishou.
Taishou didn't have any words that could be considered an answer to this.
Just then, there was a sharp knock from behind the door.
"Someone's coming?!" The soldiers in the doorway felt excited at first, but this excitement was = killed by the blade in the sudden entrance.
A large number of blades began to slash into the gate. These blades were so sharp that they cut through the thick, hard gates.
The soldiers knew that these blades were not what the spears of the cavalry should be, and that they must be something that only the infantry could hold.
Now they are caught between two sides.
When the enemy outside the door saw the strange thing on the gate, they became even more excited to attack the people inside.
Blood was splattering, screams were echoing. The floor of the doorway was soaked with blood.
"Lord Taishou!" At this time, the people around Taishou suddenly said, "The gate of the north is about to be lost!"
What the?!
Taishou's heart tightened, so it was a matter of time before Kahlan was lost. Now the rebels are wreaking havoc inside the city, and the enemy outside the city is eyeing the city......
Taishou took a few steps back in disbelief. The sound of knives and gunfires in front of him irritated his eardrums, and the machetes behind him upset him.
The sound of the door slamming down grew more and more frenzied, like a captive beast rushing out in a hurry.
Taishou looked at this hellish scene, and he fell into despair for a moment.
But just then, he suddenly heard the sound of the door being cut outside, and a machete never pulled out after it had slashed at the door.
Taishou stared at the gate, as if he had forgotten that he was still on the battlefield.
Looking at it, he noticed that the ground beneath the door was beginning to turn black, and the darkness was still spreading outward.
I should leave the door open......
Taishou stared at the gate and thought.
He walked towards the door, like a puppet. The blood cells that had condensed in his hands had turned into pools of blood because he no longer provided strength.
It doesn't matter what the people outside his door are, they are all dead anyway, so it's better to die without any doubts......
Taishou thought.
He opened the door.
The sound of the door opening was so harsh that everyone present stopped fighting.
At the moment when the door opened, a crisp splash of water came from the doorway, followed by the sound of horses' hooves treading water.
Taimori stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes, and everyone around him looked at the scene on the other side of the gate in disbelief.
The fight inside the doorway is hell on earth? Ridiculous, isn't that the hell outside the door really hell?!
People looked at the scene outside the gates - a large amount of blood soaked the land and corpses, and the real blood flowed on the other side of the city gates. The bodies had many penetrating wounds, as if someone had pierced them with a sharp object, and they had been done so many times that some of them had a hole in their heads.
Everyone present was stunned, and they looked to the other side of this horrific scene.
Some knights, some cavalrymen with blood splattered on their armor. No, it would not be rigorous to say that these cavalrymen were all bloody, because in front of this group of cavalry there was a man wearing the armor of the Grand Commander who had no blood on him at all. But the bloodied spear in his hand seemed to tell the story of its master's exploits.
The archon scanned everyone inside the doorway. He rode high on his horse, and although he could not see the face of the Grand Commander under his helmet, his piercing eyes seemed to be as penetrating as the spear in his hand.
"I'm the conservative Karan Taimori, if you're here to support us, please come right now!" Taimori said.
The Grand Commander nodded, then kicked a man beside him.
The man was dressed in Han-style scale armor and held a glaive knife in his hand. The moment the Grand Commander kicked him, he raised the Glaive in his hand and threw it directly at the enemy outside the doorway, and the man jumped out of his horse and hit all the enemies next to the Glaive.
In the face of such a violent opponent, the enemies were stunned.
The Grand Commander raised his spear and shouted, "Charge!"
Immediately afterwards, the remaining cavalry rode into the doorway.
When the guards saw the cavalry, they immediately moved out of the way.
After passing through the camp of the Taishou, these cavalry rushed out like chicken blood, and then crushed the enemy one by one.
Since Taishou had previously said that conservatives should wear their own armbands, in order to prevent chaos on the battlefield, radicals also wore armbands corresponding to their factions. As for those who wear the armbands of the enemy forces, they will not appear, and no one will do such a thing to cause trouble for themselves. The battlefield is so chaotic, does the person who cares about the armband know him?
Taishou looked at the cavalry and the scattered radical party troops, and then he looked at the inactive commander. Beside him, there was a man in Valkyrie armor who held a double-headed scythe in her hand. The scythe exuded an ominous and terrifying oppressive force, and the blood dripping on it added a lot of horror to the scythe, which made the scythe not match the noble and holy image of the Valkyrie at all.
Seeing that there was no danger on Taishou's side, the Grand Commander drank lightly and came to Taishou's side.
"I'm Jue, a mercenary of the Dragon Clan, and I've come to help Kalan City break the siege this time. Jue said.
"You're the reinforcement sent by Lord Vagslo?!Thank you so much!" Taishou said with a bloodless face, for he had lost a lot of energy after a day's fighting.
"Ah, I'm here to rescue you, I'm pretty clear. Jue said, and then he got off the horse. He looked at the scene at the entrance of the door and said, "You and your warriors have done a great job, thank you for holding it up to now." β
"Why can't you come earlier?" someone limped over, and he shouted almost with all his strength, "You know we are so miserable, why don't you come earlier?!"
Seeing that person's attitude, Ouyang Taxue on the side directly put the sickle on the guy's neck.
Jue stopped Ouyang Taxue after seeing her move, and then Jue lowered his head with his eyes closed. He said: "I'm sorry that we have delayed too long to wipe out the wandering enemy. β
Taishou gave the man a look and told him to pay attention to the scene outside the city gate, and motioned for him not to say too much.
Jue looked at Ouyang Taxue beside him, and then smiled slowly with interest.
When Ouyang Taxue went on a killing spree in the southern country, it had already caused a lot of trauma in her heart, and coupled with Jue's tragic situation in order to save Ouyang Taxue before, this made a great breakthrough in Ouyang Taxue's inner endurance. And Ouyang Taxue's obedient attitude towards Jue made her overcome her own resistance on the battlefield. It can be said that the current Ouyang Taxue has become a qualified warrior.
"I'm sorry......" the man bowed his head, "thank you for your help." β
"I can understand you who have just experienced a life hanging by a thread. Jue said. Then he looked at Taishou again and said, "If you can, please tell me about the current situation." β
Taishou nodded and said, "This way, please." β
As soon as he walked into Taishou's office, Taishou put a map in front of Jue.
Unlike the all-round map of the Eternal Night Forest in Vagslo, this map is a detailed map of the vicinity of Karan.
"There are different enemy defenders in the three directions in front of the north gate, and they may still be waiting for Kahlan to fall. β
"Didn't there be a fire? The fires that occurred during the turmoil and the sounds of killing and looting can also be an important basis for the other side to judge the situation in the city. β
"The walls of Kahlan are very high and thick, so it is difficult to see the condition inside the city. Taishou said.
Jue's mobile phone rang at this time, and he picked up the phone.
"Hey?...... Well, yes? Well, send some men to defend it, and then the enemies in the city will have to pay attention, and if they find out, they will not be killed. With that, Jue hung up the phone.
"The control of the North Gate has been consolidated, and now there is no need to worry about losing the city. Jue said.
Taishou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Jue stared at the map, and then said, "Now is not the time to be relieved. The most important thing now is to find a way to push the enemy back. β
"But there aren't enough people in the city anymore. Taishou said.
Jue nodded, and then asked Taishou about the current situation of the materials in the city. After learning about the current shortage of materials in Karan City, Jue nodded and said, "Now distribute the materials collected from the people." But distribute it in the name of the reinforcements we have brought, so as not to be disgruntled by the equal distribution. β
"But we don't have enough supplies!"
"Send the wounded to the south. Moderate to serious injuries can go back," Jue You said again.
"Now that the enemy is pressing, there is such a shortage of manpower and you have to let people go back?! It would be enough to send the seriously wounded back. β
Jue shook his head and said, "Stabilize the mentality of the residents in the city, and tell them that our reinforcements are reliable and that we have the ability to solve the current problems." Sending the wounded back is a relief from the current material pressure. β
"What about the enemy? What about the enemy outside?"
Jue laughed after hearing this, and then said: "Throw the corpses of the rebels from here outside, so that we can send a message to the enemy that 'we know your plan', and then we will more than double the number of patrols, so that we can have the illusion that there are many of us." At the same time, I will move around the city walls with my men, and the spies on the other side will report to the other command after seeing people in different uniforms that Kahlan has come to reinforcements, right? β
Taishou nodded in understanding.
"One more thing......," Jue said, "I have something I want to ask about the other party's corpse." Is there a trebuchet or something in this city?"
Trebuchet ...... Ah, there are not many of them, but there are still them.
Jue nodded and said, "Then please prepare for a protracted battle in Karan." β
