Chapter 505: Breaking the City in One Night
The civil strife in the kingdom of Lopez has given opportunity to many careerists, some of whom come from outside the kingdom and many of whom are lurking within the kingdom.
They are like a poisonous snake lurking deep in the shadows of this kingdom, not moving, just waiting for it to be really tired, really weakened, revealing its figure, and then biting the throat of this country fiercely, two poisonous fangs pierced deep into it, injecting the deadly toxin into it without a drop.
At that time, the giant fell to the ground unwillingly, and countless careerists were reborn in its body, gradually growing up with its body as nourishment, and then dominating one side.
It won't be long before one of these careerists will emerge as the most capable and powerful, and then slowly devour the others to become the new kingdom master.
Count Huberian of Blix City felt that he would be the one who would be able to sweep the world after the fall of the Lopez Kingdom, and he had been preparing for this for several years, but he had not been able to do so when the rest of the kingdom's aristocratic power had shrunk dramatically due to the war.
He sold all his wealth for a large sum of money, and even his estate was sold by him to a large merchant who always liked to disguise himself as a high-class nobleman.
To get back to the point, he used the wealth accumulated by the Hyperion family for decades to secretly form several mercenary groups to hide people's eyes, in fact, these mercenary groups are the private soldiers of the Hyperion family, and they are all the capital that he can raise troops in the future and quickly sweep a province.
And although the Huberian family's manor is gone, and most of the wealth accumulated over generations has been used, the effect is obvious, for example, the Earl of Huberian has already secretly mastered the entire city of Blix, and the current city lord is his puppet, if it weren't for Phil and several princes and ministers, he would be the emperor of the city.
It's just that he may not be able to do it soon, the current Earl of Huberian is like an ant on a hot pot, in the hall of the city lord's mansion in a hurry, and the people present are also the most famous people in Blix City, but their expressions are very ugly now.
Because not long ago, an army suddenly appeared inside the kingdom, frantically attacking various important cities, seven big cities have fallen, and what is even more terrible is that these people have no chivalry at all, every time they break through a city, they will loot the food in the city, or burn it, and then capture the local nobles loyal to Phil and behead them in the city square.
Then throw the ruined city and replace the next target, and at the same time, the name of the black demon also resounded throughout the noble class of the kingdom.
And now, the army had come to the vicinity of Blix City, and had breached a small town that they had used as a makeshift base for them, and the scouts had reported that they were not resting in place, and that they did not know where to go next.
After all, there are two large cities nearby, Blix City and Mona City, and the location of Mona City is theoretically more important, but Blix City has a lot of food stockpiling.
The abundance of grain that had given Earl Huberian a sense of security was now a cause for his uneasiness, which made him feel ridiculous.
"Can you all stop crying and mourning!Can you help me find a way?!!!" After walking back and forth for I don't know how many laps, Earl Huberian suddenly stopped his steps and looked at the people sitting below with a sad face and roared angrily.
It stands to reason that the mercenary group he secretly formed added up to more than 6,000 people, plus the 2,000 soldiers who stayed behind to garrison Blix City, which was able to stop Richard's 10,000 troops, not to mention that this army did not carry a large amount of food.
But for some reason, Count Huberian just didn't feel at ease, but the shadow in his heart became thicker and thicker as time passed.
Because among those cities that were breached, there were also those who were not weaker than the city of Blix, but the longest of these cities lasted only one day and one night before the city gates were breached, and then the next day the nobles defending the city were hung on the city walls.
This made him always feel that he might end up like this, even if he recalled the mercenary group that had been scattered in order to hide people's eyes, it didn't make him feel even the slightest sense of security.
In other words, he has been frightened by Richard, whom he has never met, and this kind of person was previously complacent that he would be the king of destiny to replace the royal family of the Lopez Kingdom.
In the face of his angry rebuke, everyone present looked innocent, thinking that the city garrison is all in your hands, what can we do?
And it's just more than 10,000 troops, and after such a long time, how could Phil on the front line not make some reactions, maybe reinforcements from the royal family have already been drawn from the front line, ready to come back to exterminate this daring army.
They had been discussing here for an afternoon but had not been able to come up with a result, because there was no way to solve the matter, and what could be done but the enemy rushed up head-on and defended the walls on their own side.
So, it's time to test the quality of the army you've spent so much money on training, Dear Earl Huberian!
However, the army that was still resting in that small town in their intelligence came to the outside of Blix that night, and more than 10,000 troops were neatly and orderly, and they quickly set up a battle formation outside the city, led by a black-armored black horse, and the momentum was none other than Richard the Lionheart.
Graham, on the other hand, was behind him, looking at the tall walls in the distance without saying a word.
The city of Blix, shrouded in darkness, was completely unaware that death had crept in, and they naively thought that the army would take a break after a war.
"The Dead Souls team cleared the guards on the city walls, the 1st Corps siege the city with ladders, and the archers were ready. Richard's eyes were cold, and as for whether he would hurt civilians, it was not for him to consider.
Soon after, all the wall guards were cleaned up by a special class called the Dead Soul Squad, and only one or two people let out a scream before they died, but they quickly disappeared into the night, unnoticed by the others.
Immediately after that, a ladder was erected on the city wall, and all the soldiers quickly climbed the city wall with cold eyes, and soon there was a sound of fighting in the city, and the city gate slowly opened in a creaking sound.
Richard put down his face armor and pointed at the long sword in his hand: "Break the city!kill!!"
