Chapter 82: The Siege
The main reinforcements of Lin Qiu and the others in this war were the diehards of the original king's men, and before that, the first step they needed to complete was to open the gates of the steel city. As soon as Lin Qiu got off the mountain, he saw thick smoke rising in the distance.
Zero looked at the place where the smoke had risen, and his expression was a little solemn.
She muttered to herself: "The war has begun." ”
Since the last bandit force was wiped out eight years ago, the easterners have not seen this signal for eight years. Any soldier in the east will be enthusiastic when he sees this signal, but this is where the signal is directed, it is her and her village. It was early afternoon, when people were idle after tea and dinner, but the walls of the steel city were full of soldiers with bows and arrows, and all the shops were closed, and no pedestrian could find anyone in the street except for the hordes of troops.
"What about Tyre-Cyrius?" asked Zero when he saw the village chief.
"I've gone to the other side of the mountain. The village chief said.
On the other side of the mountain, where the Steel City is located, Judith and the others specially instructed them not to inform Zero and Angel about this before leaving. In other words, with only four of them, they dared to face Dima and his entire army.
"Four!?" Zero was shocked.
"Zero, they are the benefactors of Morning Dew Valley, don't worry about us, go help them. The village chief said.
And on the other side of the hill, the soldiers on the ramparts also raised similar questions to Zero. They had thought that no matter how bad it was to provoke the war, it would have to be a united army of all the villages outside the city, but when they looked down from their direction, they could only see four lonely black dots.
The soldiers were full of question marks - these were the enemies who forced Prince Dima to use an emergency assembly order? No kidding, this is not a war at all, the walls of the steel city are so high that these four people alone cannot even break through the walls. However, as soon as the thought came to mind, one of the four silver-haired girls stepped out of the crowd, leaned forward, and drew her sword.
Many people had a mockery on their faces.
Not to mention the power of this girl's sword drawing technique, she is dozens of meters away from the city gate at the moment.
Isn't this little girl here to be funny?
The next second, however, they couldn't laugh anymore. When the girl drew her sword, the space in front of her seemed to twist together, and a crack like broken glass appeared in front of her.
......
The sneaky guards slipped into the main hall, and when he saw that there was no one around, he reported to the old king: "Report to Your Majesty, they have launched an offensive!"
The old king was holding a book in his hand, and Ben was reading a book, and when he heard the report, his hands shook suddenly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. It had been less than half an hour since the agent had last reported the incident, and the smoke had just risen, and the entire Iron City was in a state of emergency trooping, and this was less than half a day before Dima sent troops to the Morning Dew Valley.
Although he did not leave the house, he knew the ever-changing battlefield inside out—every king in the east was killed from the battlefield.
It's so fast!
It was so fast that he couldn't believe that these outsiders could rescue Zero, contact all the villagers, and form an effective resistance army in such a short period of time. So he asked urgently, "What are their troops, and how is the battle?"
As a former commander, he knew that strength was often the decisive factor in the outcome of a war, and that they were now facing an opponent who was his die-hard loyalists and none of the villagers could compete with him.
"Bing...... Strength, only four!" The agent was a little weak-hearted, and he did not dare to look the old king in the eyes.
"Four!?You're not kidding?"
"It's true!"
Reckless!
The old king slapped the scroll in his hand on the table in a rage, he didn't think that he had waited for so many years, and had endured for so many years, and he had waited for such a reckless man. He was in an extremely awkward position now, and he had given everything he had for this desperate war.
The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. However, what he wants to see is to end Dima's brutal acts, not to accompany a group of reckless men to their deaths!
"Tell everyone to get out of ......"
Before the old king could say "withdraw his troops," another man rushed in in a panic, and he seemed to be so frightened that he couldn't even speak: "Report ...... Report to Your Majesty...... City...... City ......"
The old king raised his hand impatiently: "The attack has been repulsed, right?"
"I didn't ...... No, the gates have fallen!" The reporter took a long breath before he finished speaking. Until now, he thought he was dreaming, he saw one of them split the impregnable city gate in two with a single sword, and the elite who had gone through countless selections were crushed under the hands of the four, and the aftermath of the four swords alone was enough to sweep the soldiers into the sky.
No matter how strong Prince Dima's guards are, they are still within their cognition, and these four people are all like monsters!
"What did you say!?" the old king got up from his chair excitedly.
Only the Templars could do this!
However, according to church law, the Templars were not allowed to appear on battlefields of any size, and even in the Hundred Years' War, both countries were extremely careful with the use of the Templars, often as a means of siniting each other, and there had never been such a direct attack on the royal capital, unless ......
These people represent the Church—they are the Inquisitors!
The main reason why the Inquisition was feared was that it was an entirely Templar force, powerful enough to easily conquer any kingdom, and was known as the Church's ultimate counterweight to the nations.
"Tell the hell and get everyone ready for battle!" commanded the old king.
The two spies nodded, but the moment they walked out of the hall, their pupils shrank, and they subconsciously touched their swords. In the blink of an eye, the heads of the two rolled into the temple, the blood sprayed the floor outside the temple door red, and their bodies fell to the ground, and then, a bewitching woman walked into the room.
As she entered the room, her long, sharp nails slowly returned to their original shape, and she put her blood-stained index finger in her mouth, and her expression looked very enjoyable.
"Mirror!" the old king was shocked, and said the other party's name.
Although he didn't show anything on the surface, his palms were tense and sweaty. Every guard around Dima is a murderous figure, but at this moment, the dove is not around, and the two dead guards he hides in the shadows are not this woman's opponent at all...... Could it be that his plan was discovered by Dima a long time ago?
The old king was a little horrified.
"Don't be in such a hurry, Father. After a while, Dima walked into the house with a smile. He looked directly at the old king and said, "As a commander, you must remain calm at all times...... Isn't that what you've taught me since I was a child?"
