The shouts of slaughter from the direction of the city gate nearly woke half of the residents of Seabreeze City from their slumber. The slum where Ryan was located was only two streets away from the only gate in Seabreeze City, so Ryan and the others, who had just slept for a short time, walked out of their rooms.

Alendor quickly climbed the big tree in the courtyard and stood on the treetop to look in the direction from which the shouts of murder came, while Ryan looked at Maia, who was still sitting under the tree, and it was obvious that the priest had lost himself, and he had not yet figured out the problem that was bothering him.

"What's wrong?" Oz hurried into the yard, he was drunk at the moment, but the only shoe on his foot still revealed Oz's inner anxiety.

"Huh!" Elendor jumped lightly from the treetops, he glanced at Oz, and said to Ryan, "Fierce battle, the number is about 500, and the battlefield is at the city gate." ”

"How can this be?" Oz shouted, "Seabreeze City has nearly 30,000 troops. ”

Robin, who walked out of the room quickly, heard Allendo's words as soon as he walked out of the door, he looked at Ryan, opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated, while Ryan didn't have so many concerns, he directly said what he thought in his heart: "It can only be Senate's rebels, only he has such a big force in the south." ”

Robin saw that Ryan didn't seem to care about Oz, and he also knew that Oz was Ryan's teammate before, so he opened his mouth and said, "I think it's best to rush to the palace in the center of the city now, where one of the empire's most elite troops is stationed, and there is also a teleportation magic array that connects to the imperial capital." ”

"It's on fire, it's on fire!" There was a frightened cry in the distance, and Alendor moved quickly, and he used his feet to make a few steps to the big tree, because of the weight of Elendo, the branches under his feet kept shaking, and it seemed that they could break at any moment, but Elendor stood firmly on the undulating treetops like a bird.

The situation in front of him shocked Elendor as well, just now it was just a noisy sound coming from the city gate, and now the entire Seabreeze City was full of sky-high fires, docks, administrative districts, slums...... More than a dozen fires threw the city into complete chaos, and many residents of Seabreeze City looked at the raging fires in shock, thinking that the enemy had fully invaded the city.

After listening to Alendo's simple description, Robin strongly asked Ryan to escort him to the palace in the center of the city, which is the palace where the Fernando royal family lives in Seabreeze City, in fact, this palace is a small military fortress at all, plus the thousands of warriors there, I believe that everyone's safety is not a problem, even if they take 10,000 steps back, even if the rebels occupy the entire city, they can leave through the teleportation magic array there, and destroy the magic array by the way, cutting off the connection between the imperial capital and this side.

However, Ryan had a big doubt in his heart, if the rebels could fully capture Seabreeze City in such a short period of time, then their strength would be very strong, so why should they light fires everywhere and destroy the city? It is better to directly control the key points of the entire city, and it is more cost-effective to take over completely.

Even if the commander of the rebel army is a guy who likes to destroy, his only hobby is destruction, so he ordered the city to be set on fire, then he can capture the city so quickly, why do he need tens of thousands of troops under his command, where are so many rebels hiding during the day? Could it be that all the soldiers in Seabreeze City have defected?

Ryan is no longer a simple boy who just left his hometown, after experiencing two tragic battles in Thor's Fortress and the Imperial Capital, Ryan has a lot of experience in military affairs, he thinks that the rebels should not be on fire everywhere in the city anyway, the only explanation is that the rebels did not enter the city at all, and it was their internal response in Seabreeze City that set the fire.

Thinking of this, Ryan's face was already decided, he looked around, and saw that not only his companions had arrived, but even the members of Oz's team were almost here, he thought for a moment, opened his mouth and said to Oz: "Oz, I need your support. ”

Without thinking about it, Oz replied, "No problem, Ryan." My men, including me, are now at your command, give orders, Ryan, as they did before. ”

Ryan nodded slightly, the situation was urgent, and he didn't intend to be humble anymore, so he gave the order directly: "The focus of the rebels' attack is undoubtedly the only gate in Seabreeze City, and our task is to rush there as soon as possible to assist the defenders in driving the rebels out." ”

"Colin, you take 5 people and take care of the security on the left side of the entire queue. ”

"Commander, yes, Commander!" replied Colin with his hands clasped to his thighs, his chest held high.

"Thomas, you bring five people to take care of the security on the right. ”

Thomas's movements and answers were exactly the same as Colin's, and these rituals and etiquette they had practiced in the army for a long time without knowing how many times.

"Allendo, after you break up with Flanna, it's enough to bring 5 people. ”

Alendor didn't have the same as Collin and Thomas, he just nodded slightly.

"Oz, you are most familiar with this place, I believe that there will always be someone you know in the defenders over there, you take 10 mercenaries to walk in the front. ”

"Yes, Captain!" Oz thumped himself in the chest.

"The rest and I are in the middle of the queue, Fani, you take care of Robin and Malt more. ”

"Okay, Ryan. ”

After assigning his personal tasks, Ryan pointed his hand in the direction of the city gate and said, "Let's go, we may have losses, but there are some things that must be done." ”

Ryan gave the order, and everyone set off according to their respective directions, and Oz took his pair of steel axes from his men, and struck each other hard, and let out a roar in the sky. Colin and Thomas, on the other hand, took out their short bows and crossbows, and quickly climbed the walls of the houses on both sides of the street to the rooftops, and their task was to keep an eye on the surroundings and avoid being attacked by the enemy from both sides.

Wearing a black cloak and watching the riots in the city indifferently from the window, Raphael's room was in an inconspicuous corner of the slum, with no lights in the room, which allowed him not to be exposed to others, and at the same time to spy on every move outside.

Raphael, as the mastermind and commander of the entire operation tonight, was not directly involved in the operation. Originally, Raphael was not optimistic about tonight's raid, because Senate only gave a mere 5,000 men. Although these soldiers have undergone a certain amount of military training, due to Senat's previous state of exile, the training intensity of these soldiers must be greatly reduced, and most of these soldiers are temporarily transferred from the mercenary group to which Sennat's daughter Karina belongs.

When Senate was a lord of the empire, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Fernando royal family, he used various methods to train his soldiers, the most common one is to draw out his soldiers to form one mercenary group after another, these mercenary groups are usually no different from other mercenary groups, but every other, In two months, some merchants will come to the door and ask them to come forward to complete certain tasks, which are usually in deserted areas, in fact, there is easy access to Senate's secret military camp, which allows Sennat's soldiers who exist as mercenary groups to gather in several secret military camps for a short period of military training without arousing suspicion.

This kind of secretive and hiding-hiding training method certainly avoids being discovered by others, but it is also difficult to train elite troops like those in Thor's Fortress, but once Senate needs troops, he can use them all at once, and he doesn't have to train for a few more months like recruiting farmers.

It's just that in this way, when performing major military tasks, such as the night attack on Seabreeze City, these mercenaries are temporarily formed, they belong to different mercenary groups, and there is no tacit understanding between them, Raphael has to arrange them according to the mercenary group to which he belongs, such as letting Andy, who belongs to the lightning mercenary group, be responsible for occupying the city gate.

In fact, in Raphael's heart, he did not approve of this attack, but he received a strict order from Senate and had to forcibly launch this night attack. In Raphael's opinion, his master, Senate, has been acting a little overconfidently lately.

Indeed, in the previous adventures, Senat greatly expanded his sphere of influence, but the expansion of the territory brought the hidden danger of a serious shortage of troops, and this was a good time to recuperate, the imperial capital of the north was caught in a war with the orcs, and was simply unable to deal with the situation in the south, and the lords of the south, large and small, were not Sennat's opponents at all.

It's a pity that Senat is ready to continue to expand eastward, eat Sea Breeze City, and completely cut off the imperial capital's control over the south, and at the same time, he can also go north through this port city to Sunrise City under the control of the orcs to trade, which is basically equivalent to monopolizing the bulk trade between the north and the south, and the profits in it can no longer be described objectively, it is simply faster than robbery.

After Senat returned south, Raphael's status declined unconsciously, and most of the strength of his subordinates was deprived by Senat with a word, leaving only the killer organization to devour souls, as well as a large number of dead souls created, which is completely unrecognizable, even if Raphael wants to hand it over, Senate will not allow it, because the latter needs to maintain a positive image in people's hearts, if he lets his people know that this ruler is related to forty percent of the assassinations, kidnapping and other bad events on the mainland, it is estimated that it will happen immediately** Finish.

Moreover, Susan has not responded since she went out on a mission to assassinate Ryan. Susan has a magical imprint deep in her soul, and as its owner, Raphael can have some kind of contact with Susan anytime and anywhere. But Susan is gone, and no matter how Raphael contacts him, he can't feel Susan's presence, which gives Raphael a sense of foreboding.
