Chapter 843: Murderer?
"What's going on?"
"It's the camp of the Golden Shield family over there, could it be that the natives have come out of the city to sneak attack?"
In the camp of the alliance forces in Sky City, a group of city lords walked out of their tents one after another, gathered on the camp lookout and looked west.
Looking at the sky-high fires and the incessant shouts of killing, they were all a little inexplicable.
Gervais was also in the crowd at this time, and he looked at the west with doubts.
It stands to reason that the natives rely on the giant city and don't need to venture out of the city at all, especially if there are also their enemies.
But if it wasn't the natives who attacked the Golden Shield Family Alliance, who else could it be?
You must know that Gervais and Baartman's camp are also very close, so the scouts on both sides are constantly patrolling the realm within a radius of twenty miles.
If there really is an unknown enemy coming, then Gervais and their scouts will be able to detect it.
"Whatever! If it's an indigenous trip, it's the best! Let's hope the natives can catch all the Baartman guys, that will help us a lot! ”
"Duke Johnson is right, haha, it's better to serve Bartman and them! Then we can slowly conquer this divine city! ”
However, although everyone was puzzled, they were happy to see that the Golden Shield Family coalition was unlucky, and they began to laugh while watching.
……
There was laughter and laughter in Sky City, but the camp of the Golden Shield Family's coalition army was already in chaos at this time.
The soldiers had already fallen asleep after the high-intensity fighting during the day, and the sudden attack and the flood of fire made the awakened soldiers immediately fall into terror.
Many of them hurried out of the camp before they even had time to grab their armor and weapons.
But no sooner had the soldiers burst out of their tents than they were confronted by heavily armed assailants.
Without saying a word, the attackers swung their swords and slashed at them, instantly slashing the soldiers in sackcloth and underwear as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.
The attackers quickly set fire to the tents in the camp and went on a killing spree, killing anyone they saw.
As time passed, the casualties in the camp of the Golden Shield Family coalition increased.
And the chaos has gradually penetrated from the original periphery to the core area.
Many Holy City families wanted to organize a team to fight back, but it was night, and many panicked soldiers kept running around and fled to the core of the camp, so that those Holy City City lords and captains couldn't organize at all for a while.
"Don't panic, everyone obeys my orders and fights back with the soldiers of my Golden Shield family!"
However, at this time, Bartman suddenly appeared, and more than a thousand elite soldiers in full armor had gathered beside him.
When those soldiers saw such a scene, their original panic slowly eased, and they really followed the Golden Shield Family's team and advanced towards the outskirts of the camp.
"Kill!"
A few minutes later, the elite of the Golden Shield family and the sneak attacker met, and the two sides instantly rushed together, and there were bursts of shouts of killing again.
The two sides fought for about two or three minutes, and the sneak attackers did not take much advantage, and when they saw this, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd of sneak attackers.
"Retreat! Everybody back to camp! ”
"Retreat!"
When the order to retreat was given, the raiders did not fight, and ran out of the camp gate without any delay, heading towards the southeast.
"Don't chase, extinguish the fire first and rescue the supplies!"
Bartman personally led his elite men to pursue to the gate of the camp, and when he saw the sneak attackers disappear into the night to the southeast, he immediately stopped his men's actions.
"Yes, Lord Duke!"
Hearing Baatman's order, the subordinates immediately stopped the pursuit.
And the other Holy City soldiers who had been following them originally wanted to beat the water dogs and relieve the hatred in their hearts, but when they saw such a situation, they could only stop their pursuit.
After that, the Golden Shield Family coalition quickly began to clear the camp.
It took more than half an hour to extinguish the fire in the camp, and all the Holy City City Lords gathered in the tent.
"What the hell is going on, why are there unknown people who come to attack our camp in the middle of the night, and the most hateful thing is that the soldiers on duty have been quietly eliminated by the other party!"
"Yes, I can see clearly that those sneak attackers are not native! Bastard, I've lost more than 500 men! ”
"I also lost more than 300 people!"
"I lost more than 400 ......"
At this time, a group of Holy City City Lords sat around the long table, their faces gloomy and their teeth gritted a little.
"The soldiers on duty are all jointly appointed by everyone, and we still need to investigate carefully where there is a problem!"
"However, I'm afraid there are already some clues about tonight's attackers! It's just that it's not yet possible to determine whether it's true or not! ”
Just after the group of Holy City City Lords hatefully recounted the losses of themselves and others, Bartman, who was originally silent, finally spoke.
"Oh? Duke Bartman, who is the attacker! ”
The Holy City Lords immediately looked at Bartman.
"I'll show you something first!"
Bartman said a word to the city lords, then raised his hand and waved at one of the guards at the door.
When the guard saw this, he nodded and walked out of the tent.
After a few moments, the tent curtain was reopened, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Golden Shield family entered from outside.
And the soldiers were divided into groups of two, and each of them carried a corpse.
They then placed the bodies in a row in the tent.
Seeing this situation, the city lords of the Holy City already had a guess in their hearts, so they immediately looked towards the armor of these corpses.
"It's the badge of the castle in the sky!"
In an instant, these Holy City City Lords saw the badges on the chests of these attackers.
"Bastard! Why do they dare to do this, they dare to attack us before the natives have been driven away! ”
In fact, there is no need to think too much, there are only three forces within a radius of dozens of miles.
The people who attacked them, except for the natives, could only be the Sky City Alliance, which also belonged to the Holy Alliance.
However, although there were some speculations, the city lords did not dare to really determine it without evidence.
But now after seeing the badges on the armor of these sneak attackers, they immediately identify the murderer.
Not only is the armor of these sneak attackers unique to Sky City, but the inscribed insignia is not deceiving.
"Everyone, please listen to me first!"
As the Holy City Cults were angrily scolding Sky City, Bartman spoke again.
After drawing everyone's attention again, Bartman continued.
"Although my Golden Shield family has also lost more than 200 people this time, I can't wait to find the murderer and break the corpse into thousands of pieces now."
"But everyone, have you ever thought that although such armor styles and insignia belong to Sky City, it cannot be ruled out that people with ulterior motives are deliberately causing trouble! I think we'd better investigate carefully before drawing conclusions! ”、
Bartman slowly explained to the crowd.
"Duke Bartman! Although my Jie Jie family usually only looks at the Golden Shield family, but this time I don't agree with your statement! ”
"This is the hinterland of the Godfall Lands, and at this time there are only us and the Sky City Alliance! How could anyone else deliberately blame the city in the sky! ”
"There's no way we're going to do it ourselves, right? So I think this must be the work of the Sky City Alliance! ”
"Yes! Duke Jerle is right, Edward, they must be worried that we will take the Divine City, so they deliberately sent people to sneak attack us to make trouble! ”
"Yes, except for the people of Sky City, there are no other human races in this vicinity, as Duke Jay said, it can't be our own people!"
It was the first time that the Holy City Lords had refuted his words in front of Bartman.
After all, this sneak attack caused a lot of losses to the families, not only the soldiers had big losses, but even the materials were lost a lot, not to mention how angry they were at this time!
"Alas! Although what you said is also reasonable, it is just that the current enemy is ......"
Bartman seemed to be half persuaded by everyone, and showed a helpless expression.
"Lord Duke! The natives are definitely afraid to leave the city at the moment! Moreover, this sneak attack by the Sky City Alliance has caused huge losses to each of our families! ”
"I'm worried they're going to keep doing it in the future, so ...... We might as well strike first! ”
The Duke of Jay had a hot temper and spoke again to Batman.
"Yes, more than 4,000 casualties and countless supplies, we must avenge this revenge! Moreover, having burned so many supplies today, I'm afraid that the remaining supplies are no longer enough to support us in capturing the indigenous Divine City! ”
"yes, who knows if they'll continue to attack us next! This time we are lucky, Duke Bartman just organized a team to fight back, otherwise the loss may be even greater! Those sneak attackers are absolutely elite! ”
One by one, the city lords of the Holy City chimed in.
"In that case...... Okay, then let's drive out the Sky Castle team first, and then move on to the siege! ”
Bartman was finally persuaded by the city lords to make a decision according to everyone's wishes.
And everyone didn't know that at this time, there was a flash of essence in Bartman's eyes.
