-153- Night Raid

Tonight was lively.

Although there is still a tough battle to fight between the Castel Bridge and the main island of Beigang, but from the perspective of the coalition forces, the back road of Castel has been cut off, and both sides of the waterway are surrounded, and it is only a matter of time before this northern pearl is taken.

It's natural to celebrate.

The bridge was taken, and the main force of the coalition forces crossed the river smoothly and settled down on the north bank of the Dorne River, just in time to completely cut off the communication between the North Port and the mainland.

The top brass of the two principalities are even already discussing the next offensive plan to divide their troops to the north.

Of course, even if it is an attack, it is a matter of the next day, and the soldiers need to rest and recuperate after many days of siege.

And when the night deepened and the time came to the second half of the night, the brightly lit army garrison gradually fell silent.

With the exception of those who were still on patrol, the vast majority of the soldiers had already fallen asleep.

No one was worried that Castel would attack the camp at night.

After setting up camp, the coalition forces have built a temporary magic array around the Castel Bridge leading to the main island of North Harbor, and there are even transcendents who take turns to be on duty, which is very stable.

Of course, the defense of the rear of the coalition army was relatively much weaker, and the Beigang Bridge, which was finally taken down, was left on the coalition side with only two ranks, thirty extraordinary standing guards, and one hundred ordinary levies to garrison.

As the night grew darker, the silver moon climbed to the dome, and the moonlight poured on the surface of the sea like water, reflecting the sparkling brilliance below.

On the Beigang Bridge, the soldiers on duty were on crutches, half-asleep, and dozing off in a daze.

A ghostly shadow flashed across the ground, but it didn't catch the soldier's attention.

It wasn't until the vigilance magic set up on the bridge that the soldier woke up in vain, but before he could sound the alarm, a figure shrouded in black mist appeared behind him and cut his throat directly.

The soldier's eyes widened, and his expression was terrified.

At the end of his loss of consciousness, he saw a pair of scarlet eyes and a bloody mouth with fangs, which bit directly into his throat, greedily sucking his blood......

On the bridge, ghostly figures "floated" from all directions, and the soldiers on duty also stepped into the footsteps one after another, turning into corpses before even sending out the alarm.

There are more and more ghostly figures, flying towards the bridge from all directions......

The bright moonlight shone on them, and they were figures in black cloaks with red eyes.

Bloodline.

Or rather, the Bloodline and the Bloodservant.

Reinforcements from the Knights, their minions, and followers have landed under the cover of night!

The night is home to the Bloodline......

The Beigang Bridge, which was captured by the Principality Coalition with great difficulty, was unknowingly controlled by the bloodlines.

……

The Principality's Coalition garrison, the outermost edge.

The soldiers on duty got dressed, took up their weapons and came to the place of duty to change their duty.

"Pierre, it's a change of guard, it's time for you to go to bed."

He yawned and knocked on the plank of the outpost.

A gust of night wind blew, which made the soldier shiver, he looked up at the moonlight, and scolded:

"Hell! It's a cold night, and the weather on Castel's side is much worse than in Boulder! ”

However, after he finished speaking, no one at the outpost responded.

"Pierre?"

The soldier frowned.

Another gust of night wind blew, carrying a strong smell of blood.

Smelling this, the soldier's expression changed suddenly.

He hurriedly pushed open the gate of the outpost, only to see that inside, the soldier named Pierre had fallen.

His face was pale, he looked like he had lost a lot of blood, and his neck had already been cut.

The soldier's pupils trembled slightly, and he almost subconsciously took out the whistle, and hurriedly blew the whistle, and then shouted:

"Enemy attack! Enemy Attack ——! Yes!! ”

Before he could finish shouting, a ghostly figure flashed over, and a sword pierced his chest.

It's just that the whistle has been blown, and the sleeping soldiers have also been suddenly awakened.

"Enemy attack? Which? ”

"Castel has sent troops?"

The sleeping soldiers in the tents near the outpost hurriedly got up and took up their weapons, but before they could get ready, ghostly figures rushed in.

Screams rang out one after another, and the Bloodborns began to kill, torches overturned, setting the tents on fire, and the Coalition's fringe garrisons were quickly thrown into chaos.

The commotion grew, even alarming the nobles in the center of the camp, and when the third prince Philip was woken up by his own soldiers, dressed in a daze, and came to the outside of the barracks, the south of the coalition army was already on fire.

"What's going on? What happened? ”

Looking at the soldiers walking back and forth in the camp, listening to the fighting and screams in the distance, the third prince's expression changed and he asked.

"Your Highness! It's the rear! The direction of the Beigang Bridge! We've been attacked! ”

The nobleman who came in a hurry said.

"Rear? Beigang Bridge? ”

The third prince was stunned, and subconsciously blurted out:

"It can't be! The North Harbor is already surrounded by us, how can they go around behind us?! ”

"Your Highness! It's really the Beigang Bridge! The enemy's combat effectiveness is very strong, I'm afraid it's a group of transcendentals, and the armies on our periphery can't resist at all! ”

The nobleman said anxiously.

"The Transcendent?"

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, with a solemn expression:

"I'm afraid it's the transcendent team organized by Beigang that has gone around behind us with the help of night."

"Don't panic, there aren't many transcendents in Beigang, send transcendent standing to stop them, you can't cause even more chaos!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a whistling sound.

"It's a stone cannon! Your Highness, be careful! ”

The nobleman was the first to react, his expression changed, and he dragged the third prince to his stomach.

As soon as they lay down, they saw a stone bullet hit the tent not far away, tearing several soldiers to pieces in a scream.

It was only at this time that the faint sound of shelling came from afar.

"Where's the stone cannon?!"

The third prince was shocked and angry.

Looking for the source of the sound and picking up the telescope, the nobleman's expression was dazed:

"Like...... Is it at sea? ”

"At sea?"

The third prince was stunned.

But the next moment, he saw the nobleman's expression change:

"Your Royal Highness! Look! Sea level! ”

Listening to the other party's words, the third prince Philip subconsciously snatched the telescope and looked at the sea, and then his expression changed suddenly.

On the vast sea, the light of the fire gradually rose, and the sound of artillery fire was heard in the distance, piercing the silence of the night.

The bright moonlight illuminated the sea, and the burning sailboats that were hit reflected in the sky red, only to see a mighty galleys on the periphery of the combined fleet surrounding Beigang!

I'm sorry, I was too tired to go home last night, and I was going to take a nap with codewords, but I didn't pay attention and slept until morning.
