Chapter 44: The Battle of the Guards (1)
Night, in the darkness is pregnant with panic.
Some are worried, some are nervous, and some are doing shady things.
"Young master, everything is ready, just wait for the signal over there. A deep voice sounded not far from the city gates.
"Well, let's get ready for our victory. "The silence that had been there for a long time erupted, and the crazy thoughts only thought about how to take revenge, revenge on the city, revenge on the people in it.
The clouds drifted across the night sky, and July seemed to be covered with a black cloth, casting only a faint glow through the outermost edge.
The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when people are killed and set on fire.
Sure enough, outside the city walls, there was a roar, sparks flew everywhere, followed by the sound of iron cables sliding.
"Enemy attack!" the guards on the city wall had time to let out a cry of exclamation, and they fell down with their hands on their necks, and a small shadow in the darkness went on a rampage, but no one noticed it, and the surrounding guards fell to the ground unconscious one after another.
The loud noise outside the city walls had already alarmed the city of Budapest.
Although they were still confused and did not know what was going on, this did not prevent the guards from returning to their respective posts in the order organized during the day.
"The chains that hold the chain bridge around it are inexplicably broken, and the chain bridge is now slipping. The guards on the walls of the city had been attacked by something, and they had all fallen. One of the guards standing a little further away quickly observed the anomaly, and at the same time felt the anomaly on the city wall, reporting to Jason with red eyes.
"Let's all go back to our respective posts and light up the city!" Jason quickly realized the enemy's intention to attack at night, and roared in all directions.
City Lights is a lighthouse near the city walls of Budapest, with four in the inner city and eight in the outer city, and the main fuel is alum, which can burn bright white flames, and the brazier is also inlaid with copper mirrors that are slightly inclined inward, which can gather light.
Twelve scattered white lights illuminated the entire city at once, and the city of Budapest suddenly woke up from the darkness like a sleeping lion.
"Captain Mark, you continue to lead the security team to maintain order in the city gate area of the outer city, and do not let idle people approach the city gate. ”
"The guards of Laxia, the guards of Mesomea, you quickly defend the walls. ”
"Sangster City Guards, you are responsible for guarding the city gates. ”
"The Budapest city guards, under the city walls, are on standby, ready to support at any time. ”
......
Instructions were promulgated in an orderly manner and implemented.
Jason led his own soldiers to the city wall, and Alan naturally followed.
I saw that the chain bridge had been completely lowered, and the fire on the opposite side was lit, and the sound of marching and rolling wheels kept coming......
There was a strange scene on the city wall not far away, where guards kept falling, but there was not the slightest trace of the enemy.
"All backwards!" Jason apparently noticed the situation as well.
Drawing his sword and singing wildly, his hands raised, the blade pointed straight at the opposite side, Jason stared ahead with a wary gaze.
Suddenly, a ghostly figure emerged from the corpse on the ground, somewhat like a snake, heading straight for Jason's face.
Speaking too late, Jason waved a wild song, feeling excited, and with endless energy, a spike stabbed the black shadow accurately, and then the black shadow "wave" turned into nothing.
At the same time, among the enemy troops who were rushing to the city gate, the black-robed Dana looked up at the city wall in the distance as if he had a feeling, and a hint of gloom flashed on his face.
"Witchcraft!" Feeling the wave of energy as the shadow dissipated, Eren was sure it was witchcraft.
"It seems that there are wizards in the enemy army, but I don't know what level. Star, has the energy level of this witchcraft been detected?" Alan thought to himself, silently asking the chip.
"Ding! has been detected, and it is an energy level of 10 mana. ”
Before, Alan wondered why the good chain bridge was suddenly lowered, and with a wizard, it is not difficult to guess, everything is possible.
For a while, Alan felt like walking on thin ice, judging from this witchcraft alone, the other party's strength should be stronger than his own, as for how much stronger, Alan has no bottom in his heart. It is not clear the specific situation of the other party, and Alan does not dare to act rashly.
Not far away, Jason broke through the weirdness in one fell swoop, and it was exciting, although the guards present were very curious about what the phantom was, but they were not slow to react, applauding, and the applause kept ringing, Jason seemed to be addicted to dancing, and danced a sword flower to fiddle with a cool shape.
Alan was quite speechless, and directly signaled to Jason with a pause gesture.
Jason understood, and put away the Singing Sword.
"Everybody's in place. With a wave of his hand to silence the guards, Jason gave another serious order.
Jason walked over to Allen, gave a thumbs up, and whispered, "Worthy of a master, I like this sword very much." ”
"Listen, when using the Singing Sword, remember not to dance the sword within ten meters of your own people, and play whatever you want in the enemy pile. Also, don't hurt your own people, sword wounds are difficult to heal. Alan was afraid that Jason would mess around again in the future, so he hurriedly admonished.
"Hmm, it's ......," Jason was about to ask, when the Sangster Guards from under the walls arrived.
"Report! Major General Qiyu, something is wrong, the city gate has been opened. ”
"What's going on?" Jason was stunned.
"We followed your instructions to the city gates, only to find that the guards guarding the gates had been killed and the gates had been opened. ”
"Hold the walls, and when the enemy reaches the firing range, hit me hard. Jason pulled the leader of the Mesomia City Guard and the leader of the Laxia City Guard and commanded them directly.
"The guards followed me to the city gates. ”
"Order the Budapest city guards to support the city gates. ”
After three orders, Jason hurried to the city gate.
Alan didn't follow anymore, because under the observation of the True Eye, dozens of looming figures appeared in the sky in the distance.
"How's the situation at the city gate now?" asked the guard on the way.
"Our men are fighting with the squad that opened the gates, they have archers, and they rely on the gates to resist stubbornly, we are trying to find a way to break through, you know, we Sangster guards don't have many men......"
"Damn, don't let me catch that traitor, or I'll have to destroy his entire clan. Jason roared, but he couldn't wait for the large army to follow, and he went all out to unleash the speed of the intermediate knights.
At the city gate, a noble man about 20 years old commanded the squad around him to stubbornly resist the attack of the Sangster City Guards.
"Hold on, hold on a little longer, and the army will come. The aristocratic man was in a stirring mood, and for many years, he had been overwhelmed by that concubine, but such days would soon be over.
"It's you, a traitor!" a familiar voice suddenly sounded, and the aristocratic man was frightened: What should I do, what should I do? That concubine is here, and he can't beat him at all.
Jason took a leap and landed behind the noble man, the sword of madness opened and closed, the sword was deadly, and the tenacious squad was wiped out in an instant, and the guards of Sangster City not far away immediately discovered the situation and were also coming.
"Brother, I have something to say, I was persecuted and instructed by others. "The aristocratic man is Tony, the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion, that is, Jason's half-brother.
Five years ago, Tony had been provoking and ridiculing Jason as his eldest son, and wanted to take the opportunity to rectify it, but unfortunately Jason was not set up at all, and he never got his wish.
However, feng shui takes turns, and since Jason was promoted to an official knight and then repaired by Jason a few times, Tony didn't dare to target Jason easily.
Originally, this Tony could still accept it, but it was just suffering from some flesh and cold eyes. But since Jason advanced to an intermediate knight and his strength is comparable to his father, everything has changed. There are even more rumors in the aristocratic circle about concubines taking the heir, which makes it even more difficult for him not to be nervous.
However, he has no strength and no reputation, so he can only let Jason enjoy the scenery, but he is tolerating everywhere.
It wasn't until not long ago that Tony received a secret surrender from the neutral region and received a promise, and he felt that this was his only chance to turn around and change his fate, and he had to grasp it firmly. So he gathered his cronies and waited for an opportunity to open the gates.
"Who?" Jason grimaced, then punched him impatiently.
"I said, he's ......" Tony's mouth trembled and he smacked out two words, but he couldn't say it, and passed out directly.
