Chapter 39: Who's the Toad?!
Judging by the sound alone, the Selmans had already raided less than a block from Sinampe's lodging. As one of the most powerful cities in the world of Litianjiao, Roman City's defense specifications are also numerous, whether it is the height of the city walls, the number of equipment defending the city, or the armed personnel stationed, it can be called a temporary choice.
And according to some rumors, as soon as a hostile armed man approaches Roman City, the priests in the Holy See will notice it in advance - this kind of mysterious thing is still rumored to have noses and eyes.
But...... Not only did this mysterious thing not work, but the walls of Roman City, the knights stationed in the city, and the mercenary regiments did not play any role - all of them were unprepared for the surprise attack of the Selmans.
They had the impression that the front line of the confrontation with the Sermans would be on the land frontier of Odesia or the eastern part of the Central Sea, not in the city of Rome, which was the center of the Retianist world.
The gates were easily breached. Bands of Selman soldiers quickly rushed into the interior of Roman City. Although it was still early hours of the morning and the light conditions were not conducive to the performance of the musketeers, the Tuks were descendants of the nomadic people, and they wielded their scimitars with swiftness and sharpness.
In the early hours of the morning, the people were the most tired of the day, and the guards who had not bothered to guard against the enemy were already yawning, while the other soldiers were still asleep, and they had no clothes on...... These people fought with the premeditated Selmans, and the results can be imagined.
The soldiers of the Litian Sect in the city were mercilessly slaughtered, and the battle situation fell into a one-sided state from the beginning.
The most terrifying thing was that there was a howling camp incident in the military camp of the Litian cultists. Many of the Litian Sect soldiers, who had not even figured out the situation, began to attack their own people with ferocious ...... The enemy may have been two or three blocks away from them, but they themselves started the fight.
All of a sudden, the Litian Cultists suffered heavy casualties.
Night raids have been the biggest shortcut to victory since ancient times. It is not for nothing that so many generals like night raids.
As if with the aim of destroying the city completely, the Selman soldiers slaughtered civilians and looted their belongings, while setting fire to them at will...... The originally dim city was as bright as day because of the fires.
People who did not want to be hacked to death by the Selmans began to flee, and the streets were filled with people who were undressed and fled inland. Although the streets of Romain City are much wider than those of Pali, they still can't accommodate as many people.
The stampede was inevitable, and Sinampei, who saw this scene, couldn't leave the neighborhood where he lived at all.
Although the inn where he stayed was naturally in the rich area. However, the road in front of him was also one of the main arteries in Romain City, and a considerable number of people chose to run inland from this road.
Sinampei frowned.
"Mr. Si, don't worry too much. Mademoiselle told me that your safety is the top priority, and if you can, just hit the carriage with you. Kara said without a hint of expression.
"Nope. No way. Sinampei shook his head. This is not just because of the estimation of casualties. What's more, the carriage couldn't rush out in the face of such a dense flow of people! Who knows if it will let itself fall after knocking down the first few people?!
"So what are we going to do?" Kara didn't have any emotional fluctuations, but she asked her own question for the first time.
"We ...... Walk in the direction of the Pope's Bedchamber!" After recalling the city map of Roman City in his mind, Sinampe gritted his teeth and made a decision, "The Pope's guards must be quite tight, whether they are fleeing or staying in place, the security should be much higher than in other places." Don't look at the Tuks attacking so aggressively now, but it's just because they have a surprise advantage. They can't hold Roman City for long. They don't have the stamina, and the long supply lines alone can kill them. ”
“...... But we still have to go through the current flow of people. "Kara Dao.
"Yes. Yes, but we just have to cross it and walk down the alleys to His Holiness the Pope's bedchamber. Si Nanpei made a decision, "Just the two of us, and not any of the other entourage!"
"You're going to give up on them?" said Kara softly.
"I can't help it, I hope they don't blame me, let's go. Sinampei lowered his voice.
As he spoke, he took the lead in his steps.
Kara shook her head, she felt that the man in front of her would never do this before...... It seems that people will change after all.
Although he thought so, Kara did not delay and quickly kept up with Sinampei's pace.
Swiftly moving through the flow of people, Sinampe and Carla hurried towards the Pope's bedchamber.
It's just that the two of them didn't expect to meet an unexpected guest in a secluded alley.
"Ah, Mr. Sinan Peisi, hello, I think, this is the second time we have met, right?" Leaning on the wall, a man named Zhen Nanzhu, stared at Sinan Pei with a playful smile.
"You, you...... How could you ......" Sinan Pei was so frightened that he couldn't speak, how could he just be blocking this place?!
Kara took the initiative to protect him. Although Zhen Nanzhu was the only one who appeared in front of them, a fool would think that he was really staying here alone.
But Sinampei did not accept Kara's kindness, but stubbornly stood in front of the girl.
He's a man......! In the eyes of others, he is a soft eater.
"Well, in the Selman Empire, there are also people who know how to prophesy. Zhen Nanzhu laughed, "Speaking of which, I was ruthlessly washed by you last time." ”
Si Nanpei smiled helplessly, in the end, he still figured out the reason.
"So, are you waiting for me here just to avenge the last one-shot attack?" Si Nanpei raised his eyebrows.
"Of course not, I'm here today to witness the death of my future greatest enemy. Oh, by the way, if it weren't for you, Miss Sylmeria might have been in my hands, ...... said" Zhen Nanzhu laughed unusually madly.
"Ahh
"Oops, hey, compared to me, who has already achieved fame, I don't know who the real toad is. Zhen Nanzhu looked up to the sky and laughed, "In the history books of later generations, I am at least a hero, but what about you? Mr. Si!" (To be continued......)
PS: Everyone, allow me to cry for three minutes, and I'm going to start speeding up the plot
