Chapter 114: Mist

Kingdom of Thray, Spink City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Originally a commercial city, Spink City was located at the junction of the eastern hills and the central plains. As a result of the third rise of the Nords, the Kingdom of ThΓ©lay transformed the bustling city into a massive fortress to defend against the Nord invasion. However, due to the untimely death of the third Nord king, the Nord stopped attacking. Otherwise, the Nords would probably have rushed out of the eastern hills long ago.

Kenan looked at Spink City from afar, standing above the Central Plains. The walls of the entire city of Spink are made of solid black iron stone, and the gaps between the cracks are filled with molten iron. The entire wall is ten meters high and six meters wide, with twenty arrow towers on the front, and the gate in the middle is also covered with iron sheets.

Beyond the city walls, there was a trench six meters wide and more than three meters deep, and the bottom of the trench was filled with sharp wooden stakes.

After the wall, there is a second wall, which is twelve meters high, and is densely packed with rows of arrow stacks. Can resist for a while after the main wall is lost. The buildings in the city are also solid stone buildings, and wooden structures are rarely visible, presumably for fire prevention.

More than 30 makeshift wooden arrow towers have also been erected in the city, presumably intended for street fighting.

Kenan looked at this huge city armed with hedgehogs from afar, and turned his head to look at the group of elders next to him, these humans really look at me, I actually made such a strong city, what do you think.

At this time, Uru stood up and said, "Your Majesty, give me three thousand warriors, and I will take down the gates." ”

Kenan glanced at Uru, "No, the loss of the assault is too big, it's not worth it, don't forget what our goal is." We cannot afford to waste too many troops here, which is irresponsible to the whole world. ”

At this time, Elder Hughes stepped forward, "Why don't we bypass this city?"

Kenan shook his head, "This is our first battle, so we have to win, and we have to win it cleanly and beautifully, so that people shudder at the mention of our names." And if left unchecked, it could threaten our logistical line. ”

"Your Majesty, what are we going to do?" asked Uru.

Seeing Uru's blank gaze, Kenan sighed, knowing that it was not easy to count on these Nords who had been hunting all day to come up with a good way to attack the city, and he could only rely on himself for now. I hope that through the war, these Nords can grow up as soon as possible.

Kennan calculated the distance between the city and the mountains, and found that the city was just over a thousand meters from the hills where they were hiding.

"Tell all the men to rest on the opposite side of the hill, no fire, rest during the day, and attack the city tonight. ”

"Yes. The herald quickly retreated, passing the word on.

The obedience of the Nord to the strong is from the bones, as long as the king gives an order, even if there is a question, he will question it face to face, and he will never disobey the yang and the yin. If you accept the task, even the Daoshan oil pot will jump without blinking, and it is a very stupid and persistent race. Of course, only such a race can have strong cohesion.

After the order was given, all the Nords began to nibble on some cold jerky as Kenan had instructed and then find a place to sleep. No one questioned it. After all, it's just a night fight, and the Nords also rest during the day and then catch some nocturnal animals at night, so there's nothing unacceptable about fighting at night.

Kenan silently glanced at the heavily guarded Spink City. Turned and retreated to the other side of the hills.

At night, torches were planted all over the Spink Tower, and patrolling soldiers passed by in groups, constantly patrolling the city defenses. Although, Kenan had been in office as the new Nord king for some time, and the Kingdom of ThΓ© had issued orders to all the cities under its rule to defend against Nord raids. However, Spink City's defense remained in its usual state.

Because, according to the past style of the Nords, if they want to attack the city, they will definitely put on a big position, and then compete with real swords and guns. There is no record of the Nords attacking the city in the past. In addition, Kennan kept the army hidden, and the patrols in Spink City did not detect the Nord army that arrived, so it was normal to be unprepared.

Faun was an apprentice tanner, and he could have gone to the tavern for a meager salary after a hard day's work. Unfortunately, this peaceful life was shattered by martial law enacted by the kingdom.

Since Spink City is a border city, and martial law issued by the kingdom, the lord of Spink issued a mandatory conscription order. Farne was unfortunate enough to be drafted, took off his thick overalls, and then put on a thin cloth coat, and carried a worn-out spear to blow the cold wind on the city walls.

The weather had entered autumn, and the wind was still very cold at night, and Faun shivered and stamped his feet on the city walls with his spear in his arms as he drank to his hands.

Bullying newcomers is a common practice in almost all armies. The old city defenders hid in the barracks to drink and eat meat, leaving only a few recruits to guard the walls. Anyway, the enemy hasn't come yet, and now the fool is going to blow the cold wind on the city wall. This was the common idea of almost all the defenders of the city. Therefore, apart from the personnel on duty, the defense inside Spink City is still very lax.

Fearn stamped his feet as he walked towards Bandak, an apprentice in the brewery next door, and like Faun, he was a hapless man who had been drafted. It's too lonely to keep a vigil on the city walls alone, and it's better to find someone familiar to talk to to make time pass a little faster.

Faun brought his frozen hands closer to the torches, and although the heat was limited, Faun, who was shivering from the cold, couldn't care much about it.

Bandak looked at Faun, who was shivering from the cold, turned his body to the side, and flashed a spot for Faun. They are also a pair of difficult brothers, and they usually know each other, so they are naturally closer than ordinary people in this environment.

Faun roasted the fire for a while before he eased up a little, and looked at the shadows outside the city with his spear in a daze, while looking for a topic to gossip.

"It's really cold today, and I don't know when the winter coat will be distributed. ”

"Yes," Bandak continued, "the lords have stayed in the warm rooms themselves, and left us on the walls to blow the cold wind, and they don't know if they will be paid this month's salary." ”

"yes, don't get denied by the captains. I've heard that our captain is the nephew of the city defense officer, so I don't think we can afford this money. Faun was a little worried when Bandak said this. As a small civilian, he is most concerned about his own pitiful interests.

"Forget it, it's useless to think about it. Bandak took out a small flask and shook it at Fahn, "Come on, don't you want to drink a little bit of this damn weather, it's going to kill you." ”

"Isn't that okay?" said Faun, hesitating. After all, it is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol during the duty period.

"What are you afraid of, don't you see those veterans hiding in the barracks and drinking, it's okay for us to come a little. If you don't drink it, I'll drink it myself. Bandak took a sip to himself.

"Okay, I'll do it too, it's really not okay if you don't drink a little bit of this damn weather. Seeing that Bandak had drunk himself, Farne took Bandak's flask and took a big sip.

Drinking and chatting, Faun suddenly noticed that a fog in the distance was slowly drifting towards Spink City, and he couldn't help muttering, "The fog is really big today." ”
