Chapter 111: Harvest

In the past few days, Sintra City seems to have hit "bad luck", not only rumors about basilisk are circulating everywhere, but also more "messy" rumors have gradually spawned. The gossip www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion is like a sword that "punishes the heart", and people gradually enter into hesitation in this situation.

Fast forward to March 19, during which it rained for three days, but fortunately the rain was not heavy and Congress received no further reports of the disaster.

From early in the morning, long queues formed at the gates of Sintra, either in horse-drawn carriages, pushing carts full of suitcases, or carrying their families with their baggage. There were all kinds of people in the group, and almost the majority of the crowd wanted to take refuge in the city.

The people who left the city a few days ago were still in the normal range, and Melwitz had already ordered people to post announcements all over the city, but it did not achieve the desired effect. Many people began to follow suit and go out of the city, so that in the end, more and more people took refuge in the city......

Melwitz knew that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to him, but he could not restrict the freedom of the people for no reason, and it was impossible for him to use forceful means to contain the current situation, and there was no other way but to let it go.

The soldiers guarding the gates opened the gates every day and closed them again at nightfall. And the people are all quite orderly, never to make a noise, as long as the city gate is closed, they will be disbanded on the spot, and when the city gate is opened the next morning, they will continue to line up out of the city.

The time had slowly shifted to dusk, but the sky was overcast and accompanied by drizzle, so there was no sunset in sight, after all, it was not much different from night.

When it was time to close the city gates, those who were going to line up to take refuge outside the city also dispersed. It didn't take long for the soldiers in charge of the night to arrive at the castle tower, and the soldiers who had been in charge of patrolling had also assembled and lined up to prepare for the handover.

......

A certain soldier on duty with a spear in his hand, he was patrolling back and forth on the castle tower, when he suddenly turned his head and saw some dots of red light coming out not far from the city, he felt strange in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Captain, come here! Look what it is!"

The captain of the city gate garrison, who was pacing leisurely, was really startled by the strange screams of his soldiers, and hurriedly ran over to follow the direction pointed by the "ghost scream" soldier, squinting his eyes.

The captain of the garrison looked at it carefully for a long time, but he was stunned and did not find anything unusual, so he stretched out his hand and slapped the soldier's head with an ugly face, and reprimanded: "What are you asking me to see? I don't see anything! You kid will stand guard for me, don't be surprised!"

The soldier always felt that he was not dazzled, so he continued to look at it carefully for a long time, and indeed did not find the red light before. But there was a snickering laugh from his companions, and just as he was about to look back, he was struck in the head by the captain of the garrison.

"Ahh Captain, you hit me again..."

The captain of the garrison looked angry: "Beat you? Do you still know that I beat you! Stand guard with good spirits, don't look around anymore, or I will let you go to guard outside the city gate." ”

The soldier felt more or less aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say anything else: "Subordinate... Yes, sir. ”

The captain of the garrison did not embarrass the soldier again, nodded and went back to inspect elsewhere.

......

The sound of the rain never stopped, and the soldiers guarding the castle tower did not feel sleepy because of the cool breeze blowing at night. If the sound of the rain is silenced, the entire city gate is very quiet, except for the occasional jet-black bat with its fangs exposed.

The soldiers on the night watch didn't pay any attention to these bats, but these bats were not as simple as passing by, they were spies sent by the Bloodline.

Under the control of Filinans, the Bloods belonging to the Expansion faction have set out from the castle and have arrived outside Sintra. And when they arrived, they washed the surrounding villages near Sintra City in blood, and although Twilight Hitomi had already received the news, it was still a step too late, and by the time Twilight Hitomi passed the news to Meliwiz, the Blood Clan had already advanced outside the imperial capital gate and launched an attack.

The Bloods are good at change, and after the jet-black bats assassinated a few soldiers by surprise, they transformed into dead soldiers and mixed in with the garrison to cause a riot.

These blood tribesmen who transformed into soldiers kept secretly killing the soldiers defending the city, intending to open the city gate and let the blood army enter the city smoothly. Because the Blood-Clan were so murderous, some careful soldiers found their dead companions, and the riots began in earnest.

The castle tower had experienced a brutal battle first, and the chaos highlighted by this made it difficult for the guards to distinguish between friend and foe for a while, and even the captain of the garrison wanted to send soldiers out to report the news. At this moment, on the city tower, everyone is fighting on their own, and no one dares to easily approach anyone, nor dare to fight back to back with anyone.

The captain of the garrison was full of remorse in his heart, he thought that tonight would still be as usual, so he didn't issue the password at all, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen into such a stalemate and broke through easily. His heart suddenly crossed and wanted to break through and report the news by himself.

I saw the captain of the garrison speeding up, holding the long sword in his hand and going straight to the bottom of the city tower. Since he was the supreme commander here, no one dared to stop him, but the Blood Clan didn't think so, and when they saw the captain of the garrison starting to move down the tower, they didn't care so much, and they attacked him one after another.

The Bloodclan deliberately revealed their identities, which gave the real defenders a direction, and they quickly gathered together and began to desperately stop the Bloodclan's attack on the captain.

Seeing this, the captain of the garrison had no choice but to rush down the tower as soon as possible to inform the patrol team on the street, so as not to attack the city gates in other directions.

The Blooddmen are not afraid of the ordinary swords in the hands of the guards, and although they are cut, they can recover in the shortest possible time, so that they can easily cut off the heads of their enemies.

The guards also fought and retreated, knowing that they were not attacked by the blood clansmen, but they also thought that they would fight for the captain to find a way to buy time to report the news.

The Blood Clan had given up the transformation that had concealed their original body and reverted to their original appearance, and they were uniformly dressed in black hooded robes, revealing black claws that were already stained with blood, and approached the guards step by step.

The captain of the garrison was finally able to rush down the tower at the cost of the lives of many soldiers, and rode a fast horse in the rain to gallop towards one place.

The Blood Clan also knew in their hearts that they could no longer stop the garrison captain from breaking through, so they also changed their goals, planning to go down the city tower to open the city gate and enlarge the army into the city.

......

In just a few minutes, the soldiers who had been protecting the captain of the garrison had already fallen in a pool of blood one after another, their blood mixed with the rain that had splashed into the castle tower, and the place seemed to be a sea of blood.

"Hmph, these human beings who are not self-sufficient dare to confront us. A Blood Clan looked around at the corpses strewn across the towers of the city, his tone full of disdain.

Another Blood Clan licked the blood from his black claws, and said in a strange manner, "Don't forget our mission, open the city gate quickly." ”

"Do you need to remind you of this?" The previous Blood Clan shook his black robe, and suddenly his feet left the ground and flew directly under the castle tower.

In this skirmish, the Bloods won the battle with an overwhelming margin, and opened the gates of the city to the rest of the Bloods.

The city of Sintra, which was shrouded in rain at night, had unknowingly been seized by the Blood Clan, and of course the soldiers guarding the city gate were basically all killed......
