Chapter 2: The Capture of the City
The Winged army took the docks without difficulty.
The defenders near the docks were no match for them, and they had just drawn their swords at their waists when they were knocked to the ground by a rain of oncoming arrows.
Those WingFolk have a high superiority and can attack the targets under their feet with impunity.
And the soldiers of the empire did not carry many bows and arrows when they patrolled, and a few archers became the targets of those Wing Clan warriors as soon as they came up.
In addition, it was not easy for them to shoot the enemy overhead, so in the first wave of the two sides, those WingClan people won by a landslide.
The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and the Empire lost four squads, nearly fifty men.
On the other hand, only two of the Wing Clan were slightly injured, and one of them was injured in the arm by a merchant ship guard.
The WingClan pulled the guard out of the crowd, and then a WingClan warrior stepped forward, grabbed one of the man's legs, spread his wings again, and lunged into the sky again.
He flew as high as four Poseidon statues, and then let go of his hand.
The guard let out a scream and fell straight down, turning into a puddle of flesh with a loud thud.
The crowd was stunned by this cruel and bloody scene, and fell into a dead silence.
But I have to say that this method is indeed very useful, and then no one dares to sneak in those Wing Clansmen.
And after they took control of the docks, they didn't move on.
Except for a small number of people who remained in the sky, guarding and clearing out the Imperial team that tried to get close here, the rest fell to the ground and rested on the spot.
It was only then that the people on the docks noticed that the Wing Clan were all dusty and tired.
Some people even found a random place after landing and fell asleep.
This gave a glimmer of hope to the survivors on the docks.
The expedition of the labor division is a taboo for soldiers, and although these Wing Clansmen flew to the continent of Brattis, they obviously paid a lot of price.
In order to keep the weight as light as possible, they did not wear armor, but only daggers and bows and arrows, and there were not many arrows, about ten per person.
In addition, the food and fresh water on his body seem to have been exhausted, so it is no wonder that he did not continue to conquer other places after grabbing the docks.
If the nobles of Cape Crab can quickly gather a garrison at this time, they may have a chance to defeat these invaders, or at least drive away these barbarians with wings behind their backs.
However, everyone waited left and right, and saw no reinforcements from the Empire, only a cavalry rushing here.
The cavalryman was alone and without companions, and his silhouette in the sun looked a little lonely and sad.
As he ran, he raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly bent, and his thumb pointing up and down, making a strange hand shape.
The next moment, a miracle happened, the Heavenly Wing Clan did not attack him, and just let him run in front of the army.
The horseman jumped off his horse, and then took off his bulky armor, revealing a pair of wings behind him.
He walked up to a man with white hair, white hair on his neck, but a pair of huge gray wings, rubbed the latter's neck, and said respectfully.
"Lord Solomon, welcome to your hunting grounds."
"Your name is ...... Yasu, yes, from the Red Jacket Tribe, I remember you were one of the first people to lurk on this continent, as if you came here seven years ago, right? ”
"For eight years, I have been quietly observing the people here and learning their language and customs." Asydo.
"I have also befriended quite a few nobles, studied their own likes and dislikes, and persuaded some of them to come to us."
"By the way, the armory is already in our hands now, but we need you to send someone over to support, and the Kant family alone can't stop the garrison for too long."
"Got it." Solomon nodded, "I'll let people pass." And what about food? ”
"It's easy to notice a massive hoarding of food, and I only know that the army will arrive in the near future, but I don't know when you'll arrive, so I'm not ready to eat.
"But it doesn't matter, let's go to the market and grab it, there is a lot of food there."
"Good." Solomon didn't like to talk nonsense, so he said directly, "When we have our weapons and we have eaten enough, we will go to the master here, kill him, and give a warning to the rest of the city." ”
"If there are any families who plan to rebel against us, we will kill them all together and tell the people here that this land is going to change owners."
"Yes."
As soon as he finished the last word, he suddenly saw Solomon punch him.
A look of astonishment appeared on the faces of the warriors of the Red-Coated Tribe, and they did not understand why the good Solomon would suddenly attack him.
And the punch was not light, and it knocked him upside down.
At the same time, Solomon himself spread his huge wings, stomped his feet on the ground, and soared into the air.
The next moment, Yasu saw a huge crossbow bolt close to the thickness of his forearm, striking the place where the two of them were standing before, blasting a deep pit there!
The dust was flying, and Yasu felt a pain in his cheeks, but it was cut by the splashing stones.
However, because Solomon sent him away in time, he was finally able to save his life.
"What's that?" Solomon frowned and looked in the direction the huge bolt was flying.
The frightened Yasu swallowed a mouthful of saliva before continuing.
"That's the Sea King's Halberd, a giant crossbow made by the Wettin family, mainly used in naval battles, and they also left twelve on the city wall, ready to use it against the invading fleet.
"This weapon is hugely powerful, but it's not easy to move and adjust, and the accuracy is average, so it should have been just an accident just now."
Solomon said, "Well, I can see that too, but let's have someone dismantle those giant crossbows, so that what happened just now doesn't happen again." ”
Naturally, Yaxu has no objections.
Solomon sent a group of men to lift stones and smashed the twelve halberds of the sea kings on the city wall.
Then only a small number of men were left to guard the docks, and the rest of the men and soldiers divided into two routes, one to the market to grab food, and the other to take over the armory and select weapons and equipment from them.
During this period, there were also a few battles, but the scale was not too large, and the Wing Clan easily won.
Solomon also saw at this time that the master of the city should have gathered the main forces in the city, and it seemed that he was determined to defend the castle to the death.
They seem to want to use the strong fortresses made of stone to defend themselves against foreign enemies, just like their ancestors.
However, Solomon was not worried, and he planned to teach all the nobles on the continent a good lesson.
