Chapter 388: The Siege (2)

Early the next morning, ten catapults went out as usual and continued to throw stones at the head of Hankyo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The soldiers at the head of the city did not bother to dodge, and their eyes flew down from the sky with the stones, and smashed on the towers or the top of the city.

Bang!

The huge stone cracked, and white paper spilled out from the inside of the stone, and fluttered in the wind to all corners of the city.

A soldier picks up a blank piece of paper with a few lines written on it. He didn't know how to read, so he could only run in front of the squad leader, "Captain, what is written on this?"

Their captain's eyes widened as well, as if he was attracted by the content.

"What the hell is going on here, my lord?" the soldier asked softly, pulling at the squad leader's clothes.

"Food...... As soon as we go out, they will give us food to eat. The squad leader's eyes brightened, and a glimmer of brilliance finally appeared in his already dim eyes.

The soldier hurried to the head of the city and looked towards the enemy's camp, where behind the catapult lay a dozen cauldrons, the rich fragrance wafting to his nose with a light breeze. Let him want to jump off the tower immediately and eat a full meal, this should be his only wish before he receives his death.

"Captain, ...... Come here. Look at them!" the soldier's voice caught the attention of the others, and they all ran to the city wall, and although everyone did not speak, the sound of swallowing saliva revealed their truest thoughts.

In the face of survival, all loyalties are lies.

Thousands of blank pieces of paper flew down in the air, not only into the hands of soldiers, but also in the hands of citizens. The citizens held blank papers, blocked the city gates, and shouted loudly to leave Hankyo, they wanted to live, but the soldiers tried their best to stop them. Although they were hungry and panicked, they also desperately wanted to escape from the city gates.

"Damn!"

Grant saw the leaflet, and the anger on his face was undisguised.

"Razor, what is he trying to do, disturb the hearts of our army?" Grant crumpled the paper and threw it to the ground, his face flushed.

Half a minute later, he turned the blank paper out again, looked at it for a long time, put it on the candle, and gradually turned into ashes.

"Gabe, you go and send someone to put away all the blank papers, if anyone hides this piece of paper, kill it directly, and don't have to explain it to me. Also, Edward......" Grant looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him with fierce eyes, and the top of his bare head had lost its previous luster, "You let your little brother go and find out the news, remember, I don't want to hear a murmur in the city." If you notice something unusual, whether you grab it or kill it directly, it's up to you. Edward, this is one of the few opportunities you can perform, and don't let me down. ”

Looking at Grant's hideous and terrifying face, Edward felt a trace of fear for no reason, and stood up straight and assured Grant: "Please rest assured, I will complete the task." ”

Ever since Edward sent someone to assassinate Mitulin, the rift between him and Aaron has not healed. He could only follow Grant all the way to the dark, even if he knew that there was a dead end ahead, he had no chance to turn back.

Compared to Gabe, he is a wretched creature who is usually not welcomed, but he cannot change his fate.

As soon as Garber and Edward left Grant's residence, they set about their respective tasks. Garbe's task was simpler, he warned the soldiers defending the city that if they dared to pick up the blank papers, they would all be executed. And in the ensuing time, a few people who picked up the blank paper were indeed executed, and suddenly the soldiers at the head of the city fell silent, at least in front of Grant, and no one dared to mention it.

Edward, on the other hand, had to work harder, running around and spying on the inhabitants of Hankyo. However, Edward's men numbered only a thousand at best, and it was impossible to spy on hundreds of thousands of residents, so he only begged the people not to spread rumors.

"Brother Bell, what's the point of Edward doing these things?" a thug asked the blue-haired youth in front of him.

"It's bullshit, it's just a dying struggle. Do you know grasshoppers?" the blue-haired young man asked the thug.

"You know, I caught a dozen of them in the grass yesterday? The smell, the real fragrance, will make your mouth water when you think about it now?"

"Shut up, you bastard, in front of me, you'd better not talk about food, or I'm afraid I won't be able to help it and eat you. Bell wiped his saliva and scolded the thugs.

"I forgot, I'm sorry, big brother. However, grasshoppers seem to be the first thing you mentioned. The little thug said with a sad face.

"I'm making an analogy, you know? You idiot. Don't you know that in the fall, grasshoppers die. ”

The thug nodded, "I know, we won't even have grasshoppers to eat soon." ”

"Eat, eat, what else will you do but eat?" Bell wanted to slap his little brother to death, "Edward is very similar to grasshoppers now, and he won't live long." ”

Speaking of this, Bell suddenly lowered his voice, "You keep an eye on it, you must pay attention to Edward's movements, don't let this old guy escape, our future glory and wealth are all on him." ”

The thug nodded violently, but as for the reason, he didn't ask. If you want to survive in troubled times, the less you know, the better.

As things stand, it was only a matter of time before Aaron broke Hankyo, and Bale had to find a way out for himself, and perhaps it wasn't long before he could replace Edward.

Hankyo's guard became more and more intense, but Aaron's catapult attack did not abate.

Pieces of white paper with slogans written on them floated to the head of the city and into the city.

One soldier looked hungrily at the scented iron cauldron beneath the city, and his saliva almost reached the ground. Although Gaber strictly forbade soldiers to pick up blank paper. But every soldier knows it by heart.

Finally, in the middle of the night the next day, the closed gate slowly opened, and a dozen soldiers sneaked out of the city, and half an hour later, thirty or forty more soldiers slipped out of the gate.

On this night alone, 300 of Hankyo's soldiers fled.

When Grant learned the news, he was furious and executed the captain and other responsible persons who led the team, and reiterated once again that if anyone dared to defect without permission, he would not need to report to him and be killed immediately.

On the night of this order, another hundred people tried to sneak away from Hankyo, but they were captured by Garber and executed.

Hankyo is shrouded in the horrors of death. (To be continued.) )
