Chapter 97: Blackheart City

Payne found himself unaffected anywhere, opening his eyes on time when the sky was just white the next day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When he came to the deck, he clearly felt a bleak coolness, and the golden-eyed eagle hovering in the sky was gone.

"Where is this, folks. Payne asked the mercenaries standing guard.

"It's almost time to Lovol, do you see the canyon ahead, just cross the canyon. He was answered by a sailor on the ship, and the other mercenaries were also confused.

"Oh, how far is that from the royal capital?"

"It's early, but if we keep going at this rate, we'll be around noon on the third day. ”

"Thanks, man. Payne put her finger on her eyebrow, then flicked it forward.

Although the sailor didn't know what this gesture meant, he could feel the other party's sincere gratitude, and the key was that this action was matched with the other party's eyes, which felt very handsome, "By the way, if nothing else, we will enter the Gray Wolf Plains before evening, which is an area where demons often haunt, especially after winter." Damn, I wish it wasn't too hard. ”

Gray Wolf Plains doesn't sound like a good place, Payne thought.

......

The Grey Wolf Plains is inhabited by fierce nomads, who have lived by herding for generations, and the wolves here are several times that of nomads, but after winter, the wolves disappear without a trace, and the nomads will hide in the only city in the land,—— the city of Sersard.

The fortification of this city can be described as impregnable, it allows the nomads of this plain to survive one winter after another, and the treasury of the lord is about to be depleted, and it will be filled again every winter.

A continuum of five merchant ships passed through Lovol County and reached the Grey Wolf Plains in the evening. The original green grassland has turned into an earthy yellow color, and a black city is located on the earthy yellow grassland five miles away from the river.

It is the city of Selsad, known as the city of the Black Heart.

Many of the mercenaries were ready to disembark, thinking that they would enter the city tonight for the night, and then wait until the next morning to continue north.

Although there is a high 'entrance tax' to enter the city, it is better than being attacked by demons at night. However, when the pier was seen from afar, the signal given by the pilot sailboat was not to enter the port, but to continue sailing.

......

In the highest castle of Sersard City, the lord of the city, Viscount Schöpp, was sitting on a luxurious large bed, and there were brown-skinned slave girls on the bed waiting for the viscount.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, a fleet is coming!" came the butler's shout from outside the door of the room, and his voice sounded extremely hurried.

"Come in!" Schöpp pushed away the slave girl beside him, "a bunch of useless things, I'm going to throw you out of the city tonight." ”

Before the slave girl could beg for mercy, the housekeeper had already rushed to the bed, "My lord... , a flotilla came. ”

"I hear it, to the point. ”

"There are five large sailing ships in total, but they are flying the flags of the Alliance Army and the Wolf Mercenary Regiment. ”

When the viscount heard this, his expression immediately froze, "What are you waiting for? Damn, how could the ships of the Union Army cross the canal at this time. ”

......

In the watchtower of the pilot sailboat, the sailor saw a wooden barrel floating on the water in front of him, which was now five hundred yards away from the sailboat.

The sailors immediately gave an emergency signal, signaling an immediate halt to the ship.

With a discordant tremor from the hull, Lieutenant Colonel Harding, who was studying the map in the cabin, immediately frowned, "What's the matter!"

"It's not clear yet, the ship seems to be slowing down. Someone outside the door replied.

Harding immediately came to the window of the cabin, and sure enough, the speed of the ship was slowing down dramatically, "Bastards, how dare they disobey my orders!"

Five minutes later, the captain stood in front of Harding with a pale face, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his expression gradually relaxed.

"Where did these barrels come from?" said Harding, gritting his teeth.

"This should be the work of the Lord of Blackheart, Viscount Sershad Schöpp. The captain replied that he didn't want to offend the black-hearted viscount, but in the face of the mercenary lieutenant colonel who could make his head bloom at any moment, he had to make the right choice right away.

"Viscount, why did he do that?"

"Probably trying to stop the passing merchant ships, and then knock it hard. Acrylic said on the side.

"Yes, that's probably it," the captain echoed.

"Clean them up and move on. Harding said.

"The obstacles are fifty yards long, and it would take about two hours or more to clear them all, and now it's less than half an hour before it gets dark. The captain explained.

"Then blow them up!"

"Then the fragments of the barrel will be wrenched into the propulsion module, and the situation will be even worse. ”

"This crumb!" Harding gritted his teeth, "I'm going to screw my head off." ”

"He's a wretch, indeed," Aacrylic said, "but it's no use to screw his head off, and his head isn't easy to wring." ”

"What do you mean?" Harding looked at the other man.

"There's a reason why the city of Sersad is standing on this land. Acrylic said.

"How much do you know about this judge?" said Harding.

"In short, I'm afraid we won't take advantage of it. Acrylic said.

Now the whole fleet is in a very awkward position, trying to dock, but has missed the dock, and it is impossible to move forward, the key current is still flowing, and the bottom of the river is full of silt, and the anchor alone cannot completely fix the hull, and if you don't get it, five sailing ships will have to collide in a row.

If that were the case, it would be all over.

After listening to the captain's explanation, Harding's face turned pale, like a fierce beast that chooses people and devours them.

Ten minutes later, a group of men and horses arrived from the direction of the city, and it was none other than the owner of the land, Viscount Schöpp, and his escort.

It wasn't long before Harding led the mercenary group and the knights to the shore, and as soon as they came ashore, the lieutenant colonel went straight to the viscount, who was going to crush the crumbled head with his own hands.

But the other party's guards were obviously not vegetarians, two giants nine feet tall and wearing a suit of plate armor immediately crossed in front of the viscount, and behind the viscount, there were sixty giant warriors armed with axes and hammers, and hundreds of knightly guards armed with muskets.
