Chapter 285: Soldiers Descend on the City

Tang Jie rested a little, and after letting the Dark Night troops carry out the last round of weapon adjustment and equipment, he led his troops north along the coast.

At this time, the situation in the Falco Empire suddenly changed significantly.

......

In the royal palace of Otrelensia, Queen Camilla received a news that made her almost dizzy: the combined forces of the Xigang Empire and the Xila Empire attacked Bisquain County, and the lord Dolores retreated to the Valley River Pass in order to resist the fierce attack of the coalition army.

And the furnace of the gods is the fortress pass on which Otrencia, the imperial capital of the Falco Empire, depends, as long as this place is breached, then Otrencia will be in no danger to defend, and the coalition army can go in and out of their own back garden, and take Otrentia directly!

Although Camilla doesn't know much about governing the country, she is not a fool and idiot, and she still doesn't feel the slightest danger when the army has already driven to the city.

As soon as she received the news, Camilla felt a chill on her back, which stimulated her to stand on end!

In a panic, Camilla urgently convened a military meeting of the Cabinet and summoned the cardinals, the ministers in charge of the army, the ministers of civil aircraft, the marshals and generals to discuss national affairs.

When the important ministers of the Falco Empire heard the news, they all gasped, and some of them beat their chests and stomped their feet, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai and crying: "O god Raphael, look at our empire, it has only been less than five years, and what has become of it! Even clowns like Xila and Xigang have ridden on our necks to and pee!"

Queen Camilla originally really wanted to discuss the current national crisis with the ministers, but when she heard these important ministers actually scolding her around the bend, she suddenly turned blue with anger.

Camilla is the last thing she can see anyone fighting against her face to face, especially if she has the heart to work together with her courtiers to tide over the difficulties, but she didn't expect that these die-hard guys still want to fight her in the ring at the juncture of this national crisis.

These words of borrowing the topic to play, among them, I sincerely lament that I am afraid that there are only three points, and seven points are to take this opportunity to fight for power and profit!

Camilla hated so much that she dragged down the two ministers on the spot, stripped off her pants, revealing two white buttocks, and whipped her in court, beating the two ministers until they were silent.

After this whipping, the ministers were silent, and there was no one jumping up and down, and the important ministers honestly began to discuss national affairs.

The attitude of the ministers was divided into two factions, one was the main battle, and it was proposed to unswervingly wage a war of attrition against the opponent in the furnace of the gods with its dangerous terrain and strong fortresses, and at the same time mobilize other states and counties to raise troops to serve the king.

On the other hand, the main peace faction advocated ceding some barren and impoverished areas on the border to the Xigang Empire and the Xila Empire, in exchange for a respite from the empire, and then raise troops to counterattack and regain territory after recuperation.

The two factions of people held their own reasoning, quarreled fiercely, the palace was as lively as a vegetable market, some ministers argued to the point of annoyance, red faces, red ears, fists and beating, and performed a full martial arts.

Empress Camilla only felt the heavy pressure of sitting on this throne at this time, and after deliberating for a whole day without coming up with a good idea, Empress Camilla decided to make peace with the mud, on the one hand, she ordered the Imperial Marshal to go to the Furnace Pass of the Gods in person to resist the knock of the coalition forces, and on the other hand, she organized the foreign minister to contact the coalition forces privately to discuss the possibility of peace talks.

This discussion is naturally impossible to hide from Queen Camilla's personal maid Donnie, and this maid has long fallen into the love network woven by Rogge's own hands, and in the joy of the night, Donnie told Rogge in detail the content of today's secret discussion.

After hearing the news, Rogge was shocked, and he was stunned for a long time, and Donnie on the side shouted several times before coming back to his senses.

Rogge, who came to his senses, resisted his excitement, and after calming Donnie, he quickly ran to Angel's intelligence point in Ortransia, wrote this information in detail, and then stuffed the note into the small letter on the ankle of the carrier pigeon.

The pigeon flew for five days and nights, and then two more days in between, and finally passed into Angel's hands.

Angel, who was busy with the cleansing of Alcatraz Island, suddenly stood up from his chair after seeing the news, looking excited, and couldn't suppress his excitement and walked back and forth in place.

This information is too important for Angel, and it is not an exaggeration to call it invaluable.

Although Angel has made a plan to return to Otrensia and seize power with Queen Camilla, how will she return and when will she return?

She never had a better idea in mind.

Because if she forcibly intervenes in the political situation of Otrensia under the banner of "Qingjun side", it is easy to arouse the disgust of neutral people in the imperial capital, thinking that she is also an ambitious careerist, and Camila is just a raccoon dog.

So Angel has been longing for such an opportunity for her to return to Ortrencia justifiably and confidently, not only will not be offended, but will also be welcomed by the world!

And now, the opportunity is just around the corner!

Is there anything more justified than raising troops and sending troops to the king?

Although this opportunity was built on the perils of the empire, the great achievements of any wise emperor in this world were almost always based on disasters and suffering.

Angel walked around the room a lot, and after the burning thoughts in her heart gradually faded a little, she looked out the window and whispered Tang Jie's name: "Tang Jie, where are you? There is a fleeting opportunity in front of you, why can't you find your person?"

Tang Jie's actions are absolutely secret, and even Angel doesn't know about it.

While Angel was reciting Tang Jie's name, a humble three-masted griffon-class ship was being welcomed in the port of Budi, thousands of miles away.

Flying the flag of a chamber of commerce owned by the Kelsman family, the ship was moored and a line of sailors carrying bags stepped down from the ship after the dock attendant was at anchor.

Each of these sailors was extremely strong, especially the dark-skinned black slaves.

However, with the three wars of the Pound Empire against the Southern Continent, many aristocratic families and chamber of commerce families raised black slaves, and the patrol officer of Budi Port was not surprised to see these black slaves, but continued to patrol after a little glance.

After putting the cargo bags on their backs into the designated cargo hold, this group of soldiers quickly dispersed and occupied various key positions in the cargo hold, presenting a three-dimensional defensive layout.

The few people who came in the cargo hold quickly tore open the cargo bag, and turned out soft armor, swords, daggers, hooks, iron needles, short crossbows and other ordnance from the pile of cotton inside.

These people are the night troops led by Tang Jie, and Tang Jie is also among them.

Because Tang Jie was already quite famous in the Pound Continent at this time, especially his iconic black hair was too easy to recognize, Tang Jie had no choice but to use the fuel of dyeing cloth to dye his hair, dyeing it into yellow hair that could be seen everywhere.

This group of people silently dressed in various military equipment in the cabin, the atmosphere of the warehouse seemed extremely depressing and dull, like a barrel of explosives, as if a spark could make this place suddenly explode.

Tang Jie hid a short and powerful steel crossbow behind him, and was about to put on the soft armor, when suddenly a gap opened at the door of the warehouse, but Heda, who looked the most shrewd in the dark night, poked in halfway in.

Heda is one of Tang Jie's few old subordinates, and when he was selected into the dark night, he did not rely on strong force or extraordinary talent, he relied on a beautiful flying knife in one hand, which could nail a flying fly within fifty steps.

And Hedda is proficient in the dialects of the Pound Continent, quick thinking, extremely fast reaction, is the best pathfinder scout, so to speak, he is the eyes and ears of this army.

When Tang Jie saw Hedda coming in, he also let go of his grip on the hilt of the sword, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?

Hedda smiled: "Although martial law is under fire in the city, the defenses are so loose that they are almost useless. And those ordinary people were also harassed enough by Kumantanas, and there were no pedestrians on the road. ”

Tang Jie frowned slightly: "There are pros and cons to this, it is convenient to cover us with more people, but it is easy for us to be exposed if there are fewer people." ”

Hedda waved his hand and smiled disdainfully: "My lord, you are exalting these guys too much, this is definitely a rare group of scumbags! These guys are simply a group of peasants with weapons!"

Tang Jie nodded and said: "Don't take the enemy lightly, this is our first appearance, don't seek to be a blockbuster, but please leave no clues!"

Tang Jie's words defined the nature of this action, and everyone was stunned.

Tang Jie beckoned to the people around him and instructed Hedda to start introducing the situation in the city.

Heda was not polite, took out a charcoal pen from his bosom, and quickly drew a map of the general distribution of the city on the ground, especially marking the location of the inner city where the father and son of Kumantanas were located, as well as the location of the baggage where the grain and gold coins were stored.

"Although Budi's outer city is poorly defended, the inner city is relatively well defended. Hedda spoke for a while, his mouth was a little dry, he licked his lips, and said, "There are four waves of guards patrolling back and forth in the city, and I have observed that our best breakthrough is here......

As he spoke, Heddah marked a circle with charcoal on the location of the inner city, and then he spread his hands and said, "I think I can sneak in from here, but I don't know how to get there after entering." ”

Tang Jie nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way, you can tell me about the situation of the baggage warehouse." ”

"The baggage warehouse is even more heavily defended. Hedda shook his head, looking quite tricky, "There are about 3,000 soldiers stationed in this ghost place, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and they are very well guarded, and if you are not careful, you will be discovered, and it is difficult to sneak in." ”

Tang Jie thought for a while and said: "There are two problems in front of me, one is that the situation in the inner city is unknown, and I don't know how to go after entering, and I may not be able to find the father and son of Kumantanas, and the other is that the baggage warehouse is very well guarded, and it is difficult to sneak in." ”

As he spoke, Tang Jie turned his head to look at Giljiko: "Do you have any solution?"

Giljiko thought about it, and although he didn't have a clue for the time being, he was still full of confidence, because wasn't it just for the tricky situation in front of them that they had been training day and night these days?

Gilgiko said: "The specific situation will not be known until the scene, my lord, but I dare to make a military order to you, no matter what you ask me to do, I can succeed!"

Tang Jie nodded to him very pleased: "Yes, you have courage!" In this way, you take Heda and seven other people to infiltrate the baggage camp and set fire to the grain and grass, and I will take the remaining four people to sneak into the inner city, as long as you succeed in setting fire, I will take advantage of the chaos to assassinate Kumantanas. ”

Gilgiko nodded.

Tang Jie saw the confidence and excitement on this young man's face, and couldn't help but admonish: "Be careful in everything, don't be reckless!"

Gilgiko smiled and nodded in response.

Tang Jie looked at the excited and expectant faces around him, and said in a low voice, "Are you ready?"

"Ready!" the soldiers said with a murderous voice.

"Okay, let's go!" Tang Jie waved his hand, and the thirteen people suddenly split into two groups and quickly sneaked into the darkness of Budi City.
