Chapter 459: Attack
In the early morning, the clouds are thick, the sun is not visible, and there is still a drizzle, which makes the atmosphere of this early morning seem much more oppressive.
In the streets around Sanssouci Palace, there are no people. Even beggars and orphans did not spend the night in their habitual shelters, but chose to stay away from them. An anticipatory war is not known only to the side that is preparing to attack; Those who were attacked, and even those who had nothing to do with it, knew that the upcoming battle would determine the fate of Storm Bay next.
Someone is not surprised by such a situation. If you don't get everyone to know about it, you will be sorry for the name of your own 'rabble'. So he simply set the time of the attack during the day, instead of attacking at night. Everyone will sleep and eat enough to nourish their spirits, and then fight to the death. However, Lin also estimated that if the signs were wrong, I am afraid it would be a picture of trees falling and scattering, no matter which side it is.
The Orders of the Horns chose to rely on their location rather than disperse their forces to destroy the rebels scattered throughout the city. They seem to be the masters of Storm Bay, and they really don't think that the other party can set off any storms. At the beginning, just the original members were able to beat all the forces to pieces, not to mention that today, the strong people from all over the world come to vote, and the soldiers are strong.
As for the rumored Demon King, they were even less worried. After all, even the 'Rock Hann' was under their control...... What is that 'Demon King' who doesn't know if it's true or not?
Forum time, 8 o'clock in the morning. All the attacking organizations and individuals have seen an offensive plan that they have never thought of, and even participated in it. Because everyone's actions are not caused by a certain leader raising his arms and shouting, the minions screaming and rushing forward.
Rather, according to the organization, or acquaintances, they are distributed in different directions around Sanssouci Palace. Although the browser magic stones of the forum are not yet common in Storm Bay, several leaders will have one or two. The crowd launched the attack at the same time according to the plan, based on the time indicated on the forum.
The first wave of the offensive was the dark whistle on the roof on the periphery of Sanssouci Palace. The sound of rain confused the possible sounds, and the biting autumn wind paralyzed their alertness.
Despite the attention of the Grace Society, each sentinel was staffed with additional personnel and warning props. But the land snakes in Storm Bay still used various methods to sneak into the house with a sentinel on the roof before the time was up. Some of them were outlying members of the Grace Society, and they were all touched first.
When the time came, all of the outlying outposts of the Order of Grace were attacked at the same time. If you are sure, you can touch the sentinel from behind alone; If you are not very sure, there may be two or three, and the division of labor and cooperation can also touch the sentinel points. Even if it is a re-outpost, it is not enough for a group of people to raid.
None of the sentinels had time to issue a warning. Even if some sentinels have the effect of watching over each other, in the drizzly morning of autumn, a group of people with hazy bodies are attacked at the same time, and the cross-watch sentinels do not play a role at all. The periphery of Sanssouci fell silent almost instantly.
In the second step, some good hands who are good at bows and arrows occupy the original position of the roof sentinel point. The target is the group of people within Sanssouci Palace, who are also roof sentinels. There are not many, mainly because Sanssouci was originally the residence of the ruling family of Storm Bay, and the roofs have been built into gardens, as a place for pleasure, there are not many places to sentry. There are a few minarets with people in them, but their vision is limited, and they are also concerned by attackers.
Almost as soon as they were in place, they opened their bows and looked for an opportunity to shoot their targets. Because everyone already knew the patrol position of the target, the lookout post inside Sanssouci Palace was quickly removed. The drizzle didn't hinder the group from playing, but rather made their targets less alert.
When this fortress-like palace became completely blind, the people inside were still unaware. All the attackers were in their assigned areas and were in fixed positions ready to launch a formal attack.
Although Sanssouci is named after the palace, it is in fact just a luxurious mansion for the wealthy. Although there is a wall and a moat, the wall is only a brick wall one person high, and the so-called moat is just a ditch a few steps away.
There is a gate in each of the east, west, north and south, with the south being the main gate; The side doors on the east and west sides are transactional and do not necessarily open; The north is the back door, and it is basically walked by the women of the inner house. And whether the door is open or not, the Hann Society has personnel stationed there, and even open and dark sentinels.
However, in Lin's plan, he didn't think about walking through the door. Because the number of people joining is far more than he estimated, instead of concentrating on four doors to enter and exit, it is better to spread out more and attack at the same time.
So at the moment when the time for the planned attack arrived, a group of archers appeared on the building in front of the four doors and shot the unsuspecting guards. Only a few lucky people who were in the sentry escaped the first wave of attacks. Alarm bells rang.
It's like the bell for the official start of war. In front of the four gates, a group of men with small battering rams rushed out, and there were many more warriors with various weapons. In the area beyond the four gates, the attacking side carried a long ladder, crossed the ditch, and leaned against the brick wall, and attacked the interior of Sanssouci Palace. The thin rain did not extinguish the high morale of this group, but only calmed down the mood above them.
The whole set of tactics is completely a siege tactic, rather than an ordinary gangster's turf fighting. And the person who made the plan was more surprised than the one who was attacked.
It's obviously a group of ruffian-level people, and there are many people who are good at archery. When talking about siege tactics, there are still many people who can come up with a set, and even make up for the shortcomings of the original plan. This is not an ordinary street fight, and people at the level of fighting and troublemaking can have the skills and knowledge that they can have.
However, this also shows from the side the danger of the lost land itself, and how common the martial culture of the people living in this land is. Although there have been no large-scale wars in the past 100 years, there have been one after another small regional wars. It doesn't matter if it's man to man, or man to monster.
Attacking in the mode of war, it was like devastating along the way, and the people of the Hann Society were not able to organize much decent resistance. Regardless of the direction of the invasion, sporadic counterattacks are like drops of water into the lake, except for a slight ripple, which will have no effect on the entire lake.
Morale goes off and off. The attacker seems to want to vent the resentment accumulated recently, not only with a fierce expression, but also with a fierce attack. When an enemy appears, four or five people come forward to greet him. Even if the person who appears is fully armed, and the sword is difficult to hurt for a while, someone will take a war hammer and smash the person to the ground. Another round of knives to end his life.
There is no heads-up, there are no so-called rules, on the battlefield, there is only the difference between life and death.
However, just looking at the situation at the beginning of the war, one would wonder how Storm Bay was taken into the hands of the Hann Society. However, when it came time to storm the interior of the five mansions, the offensive was thwarted for the first time. No matter which mansion it is, the people of the Hann Society seem to wake up from sleep, and give a head-on blow to the attackers who break into the mansion. For the Hannkai, his true power is only now beginning to be unleashed.
The people who poured out of the mansion fought with the attackers at the door. On the windowsill, too, the archers of the Grace Order appeared, pouring arrows down to the bottom.
Before this wave of blows demoralized the attacking side, the leaders of all the organizations finally remembered the original battle plan, and the direction of the attack should not stop at the door.
The advantage of the Hann Club is that they have more high-end combat power than the attacking side, and they are also stronger. So a few of them can guard a portal. However, due to the size of the battlefield, the attackers have no other advantage to win than to die in one wave and the next wave will be replaced.
However, such a predicament, as early as the beginning of the war, Lin made this prediction. Therefore, the battle plan for attacking the mansion is the same as when attacking Sanssouci Palace, expanding at multiple points, not limited to the existing portal. Break windows and smash walls, not just queue up at the door to die.
When the battlefield entered the white-hot heat of the fierce confrontation between the two sides, a certain group of talents came belatedly. Lin, Fen, two apprentices, and four silver-bearded dwarves followed the direction of the attack and advanced towards the mansion at the entrance of the underground palace.
In the haze of drizzle, what should have been a beautiful courtyard is now like hell. Bloodstains, corpses, groaning wounded, friend or foe, everywhere.
For the silverbearded dwarves, they can't get used to the fight between Homo sapiens. The elven civil war encountered before, it was a coincidence, and he was driven to the shelves and had to fight. But this time, it was all the work of those two magicians. The problem they have to ask for is the same has to fight.
The mentality of the two apprentices cannot be said to be compassionate or cold-blooded. But they are accustomed to the killing in front of them. Before suffering a loss from the Hann Society, they may profess justice and rationalize their actions a little. But when they come back, there are more elements of revenge. They don't shy away from what they think, so they are able to look at it all more calmly.
The enemy was in front, and Fen, who should have been in high spirits, looked at the man who was walking at the forefront with mixed feelings. The ship-chopping knife he had borrowed from him was dragged to the ground with one hand. This means that he himself has given up the advantages of the flash technique, after all, it is easy to deify the magic material that someone has flashed, which is a defect that has not been improved to this day.
Although he didn't look out of the ordinary next to him, a closer look revealed a little light surrounding him. To put it bluntly, you may only be able to see the stars at night, but that doesn't mean that the stars don't exist during the day. And that's why the lich is reluctant to walk side by side with that man.
For the first time, Lin fought in a starry sky, leaving aside the exceptions of losing consciousness. I thought that this battle was no different from the battle with the uncivilized goblins in the past, or the battle with the lich after being brought into the pit several times, and the battle full of dangers.
But staying in the starry sky, I have a mysterious and indescribable feeling. It was as if his consciousness had been withdrawn and he had become a spectator. But every inch of skin, every muscle of the body, the vivid feeling is clearer than ever. As soon as the thought moved, it was as if even the hair was under his control, and everything was under his control.
The pace seemed to be slow, and the figure seemed reckless, but it didn't touch anyone. Lin held the sword and silently walked through the crowd to the door of the mansion. Several giant shield armor warriors stopped at the door, like an iron wall, and no one could step into it.
The hand rises, and the knife falls. With just one move, the road ahead has been opened! Lined with the blood in the sky.
