Like all people at important points in history, at the beginning, no one realized that their lives would be completely changed today.

So when the sun rises above sea level, the people who live in this harbor start their day as usual.

The first to wake up were the small traders in the city, who went out at dawn and came to their stalls early to start the day's business.

Then there are the dock workers, most of whom are landless peasants or people who want to go to the city to earn a living, living in the area of Stinky Shrimp Street in the north of the city.

It's full of low-rise shantytowns, like a labyrinth, and it's easy for outsiders to get lost in it if they accidentally walk in.

Thanks to the developed maritime trade, the port is constantly frequented by merchant ships every day, and dock workers are hired to sell or buy goods, so it also supports many people.

Exactly how many dockers there are in crab legs has been an unsolved mystery.

When the Wettin family was still ruling the new continent, they tried to count it several times, and finally had to give up, these dock workers were very mobile, and one person often did several jobs.

Sometimes they disappear and come back after a while, or there are many people who suddenly disappear while doing something, and even the foremen can't tell how many people they have.

And when the rising sun crosses the huge stone statue of Claudius, the god of the sea, outside the harbor, and comes above the trident on the right hand of the statue, the nobles of the city will open their eyes from their soft beds.

After a casual wash, it's almost time for lunch, after which they're either on business, out of town hunting, or visiting friends......

In short, everyone was busy according to their predetermined trajectory of life, until a sloop from the free city-state of Cyprus was the first to spot a small black dot on the sea level in the distance.

When they first saw those little black dots, they thought they were flocks of birds.

Although it is not common for a flock of birds of this size to fly, there seems to be nothing else that can fly in the sky except a flock of birds.

The man on the dhow thought this, but after a while, the lookout on board suddenly shouted.

"OMG! The gods are above, I ...... What exactly did I see, why were those people flying in the sky?! ”

After listening to the lookout's words, the good-eyed man looked at what seemed to be a flock of birds again.

And this time, because they were closer, more and more people began to see what those things looked like.

It was indeed a human being, a human who could fly! And it still looks like a large army, everyone is wearing leather armor and carrying weapons, and they look like they are not good.

The captain of the dhow had been going back and forth between Cyprus and Cape Crab, doing shipping business, and even getting to know some of the nobles of the Empire.

Whether it is thinking about his future money or purely from an emotional point of view, he is more inclined to stand on the side of the Red Lion Empire.

Therefore, when he saw an enemy attacking, his first thought was to inform the defenders of the city.

However, the flying birdmen came quickly, and the sailors on board were still adjusting their sails and preparing to go full speed, and the birdmen were only a few hundred paces away from them.

The captain was stunned, and hesitated to wait for a moment to surrender or resist, but the birdmen flew over their heads as if they had not seen them at all, and swooped down on the harbor not far away.

The people on the boat only felt that the sky had darkened, but it was not long before they saw the sun again.

If it weren't for a feather falling from the sky, many people couldn't help but wonder if that scene just now really happened.

After a few more moments, the first mate came to his senses and asked the captain if he wanted to dock at Cape Crab.

The captain's face was very ugly, and it was not easy for them to come here, but they had been at sea for more than four months, and the salary and food expenses during this time were not a small expense.

If you just turn around and go back, it will definitely not work, but Crab Point obviously can't go anymore.

Because a great war was about to take place there, and the captain was not very optimistic about the nobles of the city.

In the end, it is too advantageous to be able to fly, and before the fight starts, it is already invincible.

So the captain asked Da Da to take out the charts and look for the nearest port, where he planned to sell the goods and return to the free city-state.

He had an ominous premonition in his heart, not only the crab horns, but maybe it wouldn't be long before the entire Red Lion Empire would be ignited with war.

This vast empire of orcs, humans, and dwarves is on the verge of one of the most terrible catastrophes.

The dhow can still slip away halfway through the road, but not so much luck for most people in the city.

As the Wing-Clan approached, more and more people discovered visions in the sky.

The docks suddenly fell into chaos, the crowd began to flee in all directions, the goods were thrown on the ground, sprinkled everywhere, and some brave people did not run away, but took advantage of the chaos to pick up things.

The news was reported to the city garrison, and Toussaint, the head of House Drummond, knew that the Wing Clan had arrived.

After the initial shock, Toussaint wanted to organize a defense, but in the face of enemies who could fly freely in the air, the tall and strong walls that the nobles of the continent of Brattis were proud of, this time they were all useless, no different from a piece of sedge.

Toussaint had also heard about the burning of King's Landing Tower in Lionheart's Castle before, and it was said that a group of highly skilled and well-armed guards could not do anything to take an enemy.

And this time he faced not just a flying enemy, but a group of flying enemies.

As soon as he thought of this, a strong sense of powerlessness rose in Toussaint's heart.

What the female lord named Ilea said turned out to be true, and the Wing Clan people did come.

And where they pick a bad one, they have to land from Cape Crab.

Many thoughts went through Toussaint's mind, and he even considered whether to run away, but he couldn't give up this harbor that had just arrived, and if he did, he might not be able to outrun those winged people with wings on their backs.

As for surrender, Toussaint never thought that everyone in this city could surrender, but now as the de facto owner of Xinlu, he could not surrender.

Since this is the case, then you can only fight.

Toussaint gritted his teeth and said to Bars on the side, "Mobilize all the archers to the castle, the crab horns are too big, we will definitely not be able to defend them, but we can still use the castle to resist the attacks of those Wing Clansmen." ”

Bars nodded and hurried out of the room, and Toussaint then called a guard and told him to find a way to gather the city's archery mercenaries, Orions, and so on.
