Chapter 66: The Blue Tragedy Hold on
As the sky grew brighter, and the soldiers began to take turns to rest, Rika also returned to the camp accompanied by Ensa, and after Rika slept, Ensa returned to the city wall and continued to monitor the sea situation with the soldiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"General, you better go and rest for a while, you haven't closed your eyes since yesterday!" said an adjutant near noon, as an adjutant came to Ensa's side.
However, Ensa is not tired, since a coincidence a long time ago, he has been a saint, and has not experienced the hard practice of many ordinary people, and it is precisely because of this that he will choose another way to repay God, or God's kindness to himself, of course, in fact, what happened to him is largely related to his parents, but it seems that Ensa only regarded it as an inevitable accident, so he just let it pass in the long river of time.
"Go and rest, leave me alone!" Ensa retracted his gaze to the city, a part of the self-organized logistics staff was cleaning up the corpses left yesterday, some of the corpses had some previous corals or gems on them, these are also the people who cleaned up the corpses, which can be regarded as a kind of welfare, so there are still many people involved in cleaning up the corpses.
At this moment, Ensa suddenly saw a young man, probably only about fourteen years old, with very loose armor on his body, wielding a sword half a man's height behind the battlements not far from him, and the shield could almost make him a blanket.
Ensa came to the young man's side and took the sword from the young man's hand, "I remember this sword, its owner fought alongside me and saved my life many times!" Ensa waved the sword in his hand a few times, "What is his relationship with you? is it your father?"
"This is a sword handed down from my ancestors, and it used to be with my uncle, and then my uncle died in battle, and this sword was handed over to my father, and some time ago, my father was also killed in battle, and now this sword is in my hand!" said the young man, taking the sword that Ensa had handed back, and said to Ensa.
"Your father?" asked Ensa.
"Yes, my name is Celebe, and I am the lieutenant of the flagship of the Third Fleet, and I am the son of Celebe, Cyrian—" replied Cyrian.
"Okay, Sirian, then let me ask you, are you already married, do you already have children?" asked Ensa, looking into Sirian's blue eyes.
"No—" Sylian replied.
"Then I'm sorry, I can't allow you to stay here!" Ensa said to Sirian, "take your family and go east, to Fier, and establish a new home there!"
"I don't have any family anymore!" Silian knelt on the ground, "Please don't let me go, my family has been serving Zhanlan since the beginning of my ancestors, my grandparents, my uncle's family and my father and mother all gave their lives to protect Zhanlan, so please allow me to stay here and complete the mission left by my ancestors, even if I follow in the footsteps of my ancestors, I have no complaints!"
"In that case, I'm going to give you a task that only you can accomplish!" Ensa saw that Silian was very persistent, so he took off one of his tokens and handed it to Sarian, "Ride the fastest blue horse and run east, Fei'er's reinforcements are coming to the blue road, I need you to meet them on our behalf and show them the nearest way!" This is the map of the blue and the arrangement of the traps near the blue blue, so be sure to hand it over to the commander of the Fei'er reinforcements!"
Silian took Ensa's token and map, nodded heavily to Ensa, and then rushed down the city wall, mounted his war horse as fast as he could, and rushed out of the blue east gate. Ensa watched Sirian leave, but his heart became heavier and heavier, the whole family sacrificed to protect Zhanlan is definitely not the only one Cyrian, but he only saw this one, and he can only protect one!
Immediately, Ensa turned his gaze to the harbor, which was blackened by the blood of the fishmen, the self-organized logistics staff were still cleaning up the corpses left behind yesterday, and the distant ocean was shining white in the sun.
When Rika yawned and returned with food, it was already evening, and Ensa was still standing on the wall like a stone statue looking into the distance, "Now, I have prepared some food for you, you haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon!" Rika handed the food in her hand to Ensa and said to Ensa.
"Uh-huh" Ensa leaned against the city wall, put the food handed by Rika on his lap, and ate it with the water he had brought with him, and then the two of them warmed up for a while, and the sky was dark.
"Wouldn't it be nice if these days could go on like this?" said Rika as she leaned on Ensa's left shoulder.
"Yes, but the reality is that it often doesn't work out—" said Enza, who rose again and began to look at the illuminated harbor, and Rika followed suit, for today she would not be as pale with fright as she had been yesterday.
The soldiers, like yesterday, scattered lit petals in the harbor to serve as some warnings and basic lighting, if the other party appeared, they could also react quickly, but after waiting for a long time, the same time yesterday had passed, but the other party still did not have any reaction, and the sea was also calm.
This calm lasted until the second half of the night, and just when all the soldiers thought that the matter would end like this, there was a faint roar in front of them, and five hydras covered in heavy armor and black crawled up from the sea.
"Damn it, harpoon ready!" Ima cursed suddenly, and then heard the sound of the pirate's harpoon loading.
"Aim for the head in the middle of them, aim, don't shoot crookedly!" Imai said again after the harpoon was ready, "Wait, wait until they get closer, and listen to my command!"
"Fire-" After a brief silence, Ima suddenly shouted, and twenty harpoons on both sides of the wall shot out, and although only ten hits, they also managed to fix the heads of five hydras.
The harpoons on the city wall are all dead to the city wall, no matter how the five hydras resist, they can't get rid of the harpoon and the thick rope held by the harpoon, and finally when the harpoon is tightened, it tries to attack the soldiers on the city wall several times, but in the end they all gnaw on the wall battlements, because the cannon ports on the city wall are also protected, so the venom flying everywhere is basically nothing.
At this moment, Ensa suddenly realized that the situation did not seem right, these hydras seemed to be pulled up and sent to death, but it was too late, the acidic blood of the hydra soaked into the trap that made the pirates chrysanthemum tight, and the sound of the ensuing iron erosion also reached the ears of Ensa and all the defenders present as if it proved this thing, this was one of their reliance, but they didn't expect the other party to crack it so easily.
Then, the sea began to surge again, and countless fishmen began to land, and the blood of the Hydra had no effect on them, and the other traps were mostly destroyed due to the huge body of the Hydra, although in the end the Hydra died because of the drained blood, but it succeeded in paving a direct path to the city wall for the army in the rear.
"Ballistas, artillery, archers ready!" Now Ensa has nothing to do, but fortunately, the other party does not suspect the ships docked on the shore, as long as they resist today, then relying on the ships, they can survive tomorrow.
The fishmen didn't think much about it, they just kept charging forward, and when they were about a third of the way from the wall, Ensa gave the order to attack, and the deafening roar woke the blue inhabitants from their dreams, and the fishmen who were charging forward exploded, and in the brief silence of the artillery fire, arrows rained down from the sky, and the special ballistae used to attack the ships were heard to break through the air.
Under the pressure of almost constant artillery fire, arrows and ballistas, the fishmen could not rush under the city walls, let alone climb the walls to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the blue defenders, and even so, the fishmen continued to climb from the sea to land, and stepped on the shattered corpses of their own compatriots to charge the walls, as if they were testing the blue strategic reserves with their own lives.
This state lasted until the sky was crimson again, and the fish people died and rushed up again, and then died again, and then rushed up again, and the entire port, including the white city wall, was covered with a thick layer of meat and mud, which looked really disgusting, but fortunately, Zhanlan was on the seaside, and there was also a magician army, although it was much worse than Fei'er, but at least it was no problem to clean up the battlefield.
And just when the sun rose and the fish-people retreated, Ensa found something that he had not found in the past, or rather, something that he had not encountered in the past, although he knew that these fish-people were half-undead, but Zhan Lan was not without necromancers, although the undead creatures did not like the sun, but they were not afraid of the sun, and these fish-people here would be afraid after seeing the sun, and the appearance of escaping was not so much a retreat, but a panic, but there was too little time left, and Enza could no longer make any targeted measures for this feature。
"Alas—I hope that the army that has come from Fei'er will be based on light magic—" Ensa sighed, and as he had done yesterday, he accompanied Rika back to rest!
