When the first rays of the morning sun shone on the head of the Scaly City, an army of various banners also appeared on the avenue outside the city.

It's different from those new soldiers who are thin and have vegetables.

The warriors of this army were generally dressed in armor, leather boots, and shiny steel swords at their waists, of which cavalry accounted for as much as 30%.

In addition, siege equipment was prepared in advance, including more than 20 stone throwers and giant crossbows, as well as seven siege towers of various sizes.

Once the men have filled the moat outside the city, these siege towers can be pushed to the walls and help the attackers inside take the city.

The cathars were nominally commanded by High Priest Martina and fought for the goddess, but since High Priest Martina did not know how to march and fight, the actual commander was Dordot from the House of Mariel.

Dordot was the uncle of Judit, the head of the Mariel family, a graduate of the First Knights of the Royal Capital, who served as the emperor's royal bodyguard for twenty years, and participated in the war between the royal family and the Wettin family.

After returning to the West, he was appointed as a military adviser by Yudit, and then led an army with Huls to slay dragons, although it was unsuccessful, but it was not Dordot's fault.

First, the strength of the black dragon was very strong, far beyond the understanding of ordinary people, and secondly, the commander of Huls, didn't think about fighting hard at that time, and left a stand-in to die, so he opened the fire first, causing Dordot to be unable to use his strength.

And even though the coalition was defeated in that battle and Hulse was "killed" on the spot, Dordot still managed to keep most of his troops and wounded the dragon.

Speaking of which, Yin Leiya and Shuangxiu were able to slay the dragon successfully, and he also had a small part of the credit.

It's a pity that history only remembers the winners.

Dordot led the cathars to attack the city of Scales this time, intending to be disgraced.

However, things went a little differently than he had imagined, and Dordot led his army all the way to the city of Scales without seeing Herodotus' new army, and there was little resistance from there.

At first, Dordot thought that Herodotus also realized that the New Army was not well trained, and planned to rely on the fortified cities of the Scaly City to fight him in a war of attrition.

Dordot was not surprised, because he had already made a plan for this situation.

But what Doldot didn't expect was that before his army had set up camp outside the city, the gates of Scaly City had already opened one step ahead of time.

Then the messenger of the Rayin Mondi family came out of it.

The man who came claimed to be Shapiro, the second son of the lord of the city, Sir Eddard, shouted to see High Priest Martina as soon as he left the city.

Dordot didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Layinmondi family's gourd, but he still had the High Priest Martina invited, and then sent two teams of elite warriors to protect the High Priest Martina's safety and isolate her from Shapiro.

Shapiro protested several times, but to no avail, and finally could only stand ten paces away from High Priest Martina, turn his heart sideways, and tear his throat open.

"High Priestess Martina, the Layinmondi family has taken the gates of the City of Scales for you and the Goddess!"

？？？！

Dordot wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, what meant that the Laimundi family had taken the gates of the city of Scales for you and the goddess?

Pull a random person out of the western realm, they all know who the multiscale city belongs to, and isn't it the Herodotus and Layinmondi families who led troops so far away to fight?

However, Shapiro's voice continued, "Before you left the city of Scales, you went to my father to use the power of the Raimundi family to fight against Herodotus and his secret forces, and he promised you.

"But I didn't expect Herodotus to take the first step and lead people to raid your residence, and my father knew about it and brought people to protect you as soon as he could, but it was still a step too late, and you were already out of the city at that time.

"And Herodotus then mastered the entire Holy See as quickly as possible, and almost all the followers of Picia in the city of Scales are full, including the guards of the Layinmondi family, although my father is the lord of the city, he can't openly turn against Herodotus.

"So I could only make peace with him for the time being, and Herodotus became more and more arrogant after forming a new army, and he no longer took my father seriously, and my father's army was limited, so he could only endure in the mansion.

"I waited until last night, taking advantage of the internal instability of the new army, a sudden attack, and a bloody battle for a long time, which took the city gate for you."

Shapiro's words were full of emotion.

But the audience on the side was all stunned, obviously not expecting the Layin Mondi family to be shameless in this matter, first betraying High Priest Martina to Herodotus, forcing High Priest Martina to leave the city overnight.

Later, seeing that Herodotus's side was no longer working, he jumped ship again and opened the gates of the Scaly City for High Priest Martina with his backhand.

After hearing this, Dordot couldn't help it, and said, "Ling Zun is really loyal. ”

Shapiro, on the other hand, seemed to be unable to hear the sarcasm, and said solemnly, "That's nature, and what my father hates most is the capricious villain." ”

High Priest Martina herself was from a noble background, and she knew the shamelessness of some of them, and she didn't bother to dwell on the previous matters with the people of the Layin Mondi family, so she was straightforward.

"Where is Herodotus now?"

After that, I saw a look of embarrassment on Shapiro's face, "We haven't found it yet." ”

"But he's still in town, isn't he?" High Priest Martina frowned.

"This ......"

Looking at Shapiro's distracted appearance, High Priest Martina knew that Herodotus had already run away, and sighed, "Forget it, let's go to the city." ”

…………

Winning without a fight, taking the city of Scales should have been something to celebrate, but after entering the city, High Priest Martina's face was not very happy.

In addition to the fact that the culprit Herodotus was not caught, the main reason was that she was shocked by the scene in the city.

When she left a little more than a month ago, it was still bustling and bustling, but when she returned, at least a quarter of the city had been reduced to rubble.

The rest of the place was miserable, except for the nobles who were protected by the guards, and the other civilians in the city, even if they had survived the pagan trial, were not spared again in the great raid that swept through the city last night.

The loss of property is still secondary, many people's wives and daughters are still defiled by those new army robbers, and those who want to step forward to stop are directly killed by the new army that has already robbed the red eye.

Tens of thousands of people were killed in this doomsday spree, and the rout still roams the city.
