Chapter 230: Surprise Attack on the Harbor (Part II)
I don't know what, looking at the smile on the other party's face, a chill rose in Oransk's heart.
He suddenly noticed that this barbarian seemed to be a little different from ordinary barbarians, his figure was not so burly and clumsy, and he had a bit of a refined and vigorous taste, and his face was not so straight and hard with totem ornamentation.
"You..."
He was about to ask for the other man's name when the barbarian warrior suddenly approached and put his hand on Oransk's shoulder.
The next moment, the greedy deacon felt a chill in his heart, and a sharp dagger pierced his chest silently and swiftly.
How could this be!!!
The barbarian's left hand on his shoulder quickly went around his neck and choked his throat, choking Oransk's dying cry so hard that he could not collapse to the ground on the spot.
The two stood shoulder to shoulder, looking very affectionate, and the guards not far away didn't notice anything wrong.
Unbeknownst to anyone, their immediate boss was taking his last breath, and the bright sun shone on his face full of astonishment and disbelief.
The barbarian warrior held on to Oransk's corpse, the smile on his face condensing into icy frost.
He let go of the handle of the dagger and turned slightly to gesture to the warriors behind him.
Do it!
Hundreds of barbarian warriors holding snow camels and waiting to load their goods showed their hideous fangs in an instant, some of them drew their weapons and pounced on the barbarian guards, others holding up their longbows.
"Ahh
There were dozens of barbarian guards in the warehouse area who were in charge of maintaining order, completely unprepared for the attack from behind, and only sensed the danger when the tomahawk mace was approaching.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
However, it was too late at this time, and dozens of escort soldiers were either shot to the ground by feather arrows or cut in two by tomahawks, and the lively warehouse area suddenly turned into a bloody Shura field!
"Enemy attack!~"
A barbarian warrior standing farther away let out a hysterical roar, and then was shot through the throat by a flying arrow!
The sudden outbreak of slaughter stunned the barbarian porters and baggage soldiers who were busy in front of the grain warehouse, and they did not understand what was happening, only to see their own compatriots fighting each other.
But when a dense rain of arrows fell on their heads, and the people around them fell screaming, these barbarians woke up like a dream, screaming and fleeing for their lives.
Some of the barbarians were pushed to the ground, and then others trampled directly on him, leaving everything they had in their hands and just looking for a safe place to hide.
And the soldiers who were carrying the mane oil, holding the huge oil tank, rushed to the front of the warehouse under the cover of their companions, and threw the oil tank directly into it.
While they were, the warriors who were waiting on the outskirts of the warehouse area put away their bows and arrows, drew their tomahawks and swords, and slaughtered them with great vigour, and anyone who dared to stand in their way was cut to the ground.
The warehouse area was full of murderous noises, and it was completely in chaos.
At this time, a group of barbarian warriors patrolling the outskirts of the port area was alarmed, and they immediately rushed towards the warehouse area.
But before they could rush in, a huge mace swung sideways, instantly smashing the two warriors who rushed to the front directly into the air.
Frost Giant!
The barbarian warriors were completely stunned, they couldn't believe their eyes, how could the most powerful war puppet on their side become an enemy, could it be that the giant barbarian inside had gone crazy.
They never had a chance to understand the truth, for the Frost Giant, wielding his mace, swept away the leaves with a fierce wind, and no warrior could stop its thunderous blow.
It was Leon who controlled the Frost Giant, and of course it was all Thunderbeast warriors in disguise who rushed into the warehouse area and caused great chaos.
The plan for the raid on the port of Linsk was devised by Leon, with a strong sense of adventure, but even he himself did not expect that things would go so smoothly.
On the way into the port area, the Thunderbeast Brigade encountered three barbarian patrols, but none of them were suspicious, and the barbarian warriors even jumped off the snow camels to salute the frost giants he commanded.
The barbarians had no idea that an enemy would be able to control their vaunted war golems, and the Frost Giants became the best talisman for the Thunderbeast Brigade, allowing them to make their way to the heart of the port area.
The barbarian warrior who negotiated with Orlansk was dressed up as a Thunderbeast Scout, a leopard-born scout who was quick and adaptable, and perfectly completed the task entrusted to him by Leon.
While Leon annihilated the barbarian patrol squad, hundreds of Thunderbeast warriors began the most important step of the entire plan, opening all the warehouse doors, throwing mane oil canisters into them, and finally lighting the fire!
The port area of the port of Linsk is very large, and there are dozens of large warehouses for storing supplies alone, which store mountains of grain, weapons and equipment, animal skin materials, etc., and there are also large piles of forage and timber in other open fields.
Many of these materials are flammable, and after being poured with mane oil, a little fire will burst into flames, and all the warehouses are made of wood and stone, so the fire is simply out of control.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of warehouses were set ablaze one by one, and the fire soon spread to the piles of wood and hay outside, turning the huge warehouse area into a purgatory fire in a short time.
Rumble!
The warehouse where the mane oil was stored was set on fire, and a chain reaction ensued, following an explosion after the oil tank burned.
The warehouse was blown up into the sky almost instantly, and the debris splattered with fire, and clouds of black smoke rushed to the sky, and the scene seemed to be the end of the day.
Several of the retreating Thunderbeast warriors were even knocked to the ground by the shockwave generated by the explosion.
"Retreat!"
The Thunderbeast warriors, who had completed the arson mission, evacuated as planned, and they rode out of the warehouse area on snowy camels as fast as they could, leaving the burning sea of fire behind them.
Looking at the port where the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Leon couldn't help but clench his fists.
Burning the food and supplies here, although it will not pose a mortal threat to the barbarians, the enemy forces in Valen City will inevitably be greatly affected, and they will be doomed to starve in a short time.
This will be very beneficial for the Third Regiment's campaign to retake Valen.
But Leon doesn't think about this long-term matter at the moment, and although the Thunderbeast Brigade has done a nearly impossible task brilliantly, it is still out of danger.
His gaze fell on the Linsk fortress that stood on the south side of the harbor, where a barbarian legion was stationed.
At this time, it was impossible for the defenders in the fortress to be aware of it, but it was also impossible for them to react immediately and comprehensively.
In fact, the defenders of the Linsk fortress did not understand what was happening, only that the harbor was in flames, and when the guards on duty reported the situation to the commander urgently, and waited for the commander to give the order, it was too late.
More than 800 thunder beast warriors rode snow camels out of the port area, retreating all the way south without hindrance, and the barbarian defenders finally reacted.
Hundreds of horsemen rushed out of the fortress in pursuit of the retreating Thunderbeast warriors, who apparently realized that the fire in the harbor was inseparable from the escapees.
Entering the port area was bound to pass through the road in front of the fortress, and if these cavalry had gone out earlier, they might have been able to surround the Thunderbeast warriors.
But the opportunity was fleeting, and the Thunderbeast warriors moved extremely quickly, retreating before the enemy could react.
The defenders on the walls of the fortress tried to intercept them with their heavy crossbows, but by this time the Thunderbeast warriors were out of range of their attacks.
At this time, the port of Linsk was completely engulfed in flames, further strengthened by the wind blowing from the sea to the east, and the flames from the explosion of the former mane oil depot inevitably affected the civilian areas on the outskirts of the port area.
The blazing flames melted the snow and ice, and many rudimentary houses began to burn, and countless barbarian civilians cried out for their lives.
More and more barbarian cavalry rushed out of the fortress to join the pursuit, and snow-white wolves appeared among the beast riders.
The Arctic Ice Wolf is a magical beast endemic to the Arctic Continent, possessing the size and strength of a giant wolf, and can easily carry a heavily armed barbarian warrior.
The Ice Wolf Cavalry was also the elite of the Barbarian Army, and the raids of the Thunderbeast Brigade completely angered the defenders of the Linsk Fortress, and they sent their strongest forces out.
The speed of the ice wolf is much faster than that of the snow camel, and some of the officers of the ice wolf cavalry are all Terran knights, and their strength is not the same as that of ordinary snow camel cavalry, and they can definitely catch up with the enemy to wash away the shame of being sneak attacked.
Call!
A large boulder, weighing thousands of pounds, flew into the air, swept hundreds of paces away, and smashed down in front of the fortress's gates with ferocity and precision.
A barbarian cavalryman was caught off guard by a boulder, and immediately turned into meat sauce along with the mount under his crotch, and the boulder that continued to roll down several riders behind him.
The barbarian cavalry was in chaos, but this was only the beginning.
Whew, whew!
Similar boulders flew one after another, smashing the barbarian cavalry at the gate of the city, and the passage was blocked.
"Titan God, what's going on?"
"It's the Frost Giant, it's attacking us!"
"How is this possible, could it be said that the giant barbarians are traitors?"
Shocked, stunned, and incredulous, many barbarian cavalry were stunned, and even forgot to chase after the Thunder Beast warriors.
But the flying boulder was a clear reminder to them that the impossible had really happened!
