Chapter 92 Undercurrent Surging (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
The rain began to fall, and it was a downpour without warning, and the dense raindrops joined together, like a curtain of rain in front of the eyes, turning the whole world into a hazy one.
There were very few people wandering around the city at night, so there was no commotion.
Rosius listened to the fat women behind the walls shouting, "Put away your clothes!" With a spear in his hand, he ran quickly into the fortress with his colleagues to hide from the rain.
Although they are the guards of the city wall, their job is to keep a vigilant eye on the city wall and watch into the distance, but those who dare to stand outside in the rain are either stone carvings or idiots, what if they get sick, it is difficult to cure, who has so much money to spend.
After entering the covered fortress, the sound of the rain became quiet, and the guards who came to the fortress before him took off their helmets and sat and talked freely, and no one stared at the windows of the fortress.
Rosius despised these veterans in his heart, he was proud of his work, and he couldn't understand the psychology of these people.
Taking off his dull helmet and taking a breath of fresh air from the heavy rain, Rosciuston felt a lot clearer. He tucked his helmet under his arm, walked to the edge of the fortress window, and looked out in a daze.
The darkness of the night and the pouring rain made visibility outside the walls worrying, and Rocius wasn't sure how far he could see. Usually, when he looks into the distance, he can see the lush mountains and the gleaming sea, which is the scenery he is most familiar with and loves.
But now, it was all darkness, as if it had been covered with a black cloth, and even the lighting torches under the city had been extinguished by the heavy rain, and now nothing could be seen.
Rosius suddenly understood why the veterans weren't staring here, I'm afraid they also knew that this kind of weather was almost blind to them.
But if the enemy were to attack at this time, wouldn't this dark night and heavy rain be the best protection? I'm afraid I can't even hear the sound of footsteps in such a dense rain.
Thinking of this, Rocius suddenly laughed.
Just kidding, how is that possible.
Not to mention whether someone would attack Omlin in such weather, even if they wanted to, how would they find their gates in such an environment where they couldn't even light torches and their eyes were black? Do you go around the city walls?
Rosius couldn't help but be amused by his immature thoughts.
Blurry black shadows surged.
"Huh?" Rosius suddenly frowned, his eyes froze, and he looked down nervously.
The faint moonlight peeking through the thick dark clouds made him see something unusual beneath the walls.
Like a surging river, or a floating human head.
Rosius's face changed, and he suddenly picked up the torch hanging on the wall of the fortress, and ran out quickly under the surprised eyes of the others, and before he even had time to put on his helmet, he was bathed in the heavy rain.
Without hesitation, he threw the torch outside the city wall and stared down closely.
The torch's point of light grew smaller and smaller under the heavy rain, but it still faithfully fulfilled its task, and as it fell into the open space dozens of meters below the city wall, the orange firelight illuminated what was hidden in the night.
It was a force of at least 100 men, and at the forefront of the force was a thick battering ram, propelled by ten Combine soldiers, almost reaching the gates.
But they don't know anything about it!
Rocius's face became extremely ugly, and he turned and ran back, and shouted to all the guards in the fortress with the loudest voice in his life:
"Sound the alarm, enemy attack !!!!!"
"Bellโโ!! Bell โโ!! Bell โโ!! Bell โโ!! โ
Staring at the rain, Liu Yuan, who returned to the lord's castle from the observation deck, heard a nervous alarm bell.
The first sound was struck from a very far distance, then a second sound from a little closer, and so on, and so on, and now it was all together!
Something went wrong.
This thought flashed through Liu Yuan's mind.
It seems that Steno's words are right, there are really people who brave the heavy rain to attack the city-state.
Nights without moonlight and heavy rain became the best umbrella, and I am afraid that Omlin will be caught off guard this time.
Liu Yuan thought so, while taking the towels handed by the maids next to him in a panic, and hastily wiped his hair and clothes, he walked to the hall of the lord's castle, where the lords Ariana and Elizabeth and others were indeed here.
"Please be seated, Mr. Liu Yuan. I think you heard the bell outside, and we'll know what's going on in a moment. Ariana said with a calm expression.
It seems that the restlessness on the outside did not affect her mood, at least not on the surface.
"You're outside?" Olga Marie leaned over, looked at Liu Yuan, who was soaking wet, and asked, "What's going on outside?" โ
Liu Yuan shook his head, "I don't know, but I guess it's an enemy attack." โ
"Enemy attack? In this weather? Aren't they afraid of stepping on the mud and falling? โ
"Who knows, maybe they're on horseback." Liu Yuan shrugged.
At this moment, a herald rushed in, walked quickly to Lord Ariana, half-knelt down, and said loudly: "Report to your lordship, several enemies have been found outside the walls of the north gate, and they have gathered in front of the gate and attacked the gate with battering rams!" โ
Ariana's gaze suddenly cooled: "Report their number." โ
The herald bowed his head deeply, "I'm very sorry, my lord. Due to the weather, we could not determine the number of enemy troops, and we could only judge by a rough judgment that there were at least two hundred or more people gathered in front of the city gates. โ
Omlin has three gates, which are located in the north, south, and east of the city. Among them, the north and south gates are the two largest gates, which are equivalent to the main gates of Omlin City, and the enemy army wants to storm from the main gate with only a few hundred people, which is undoubtedly a provocation to Omlin.
Even the normally rational Ariana was a little annoyed, and she said to the soldiers who were half-kneeling: "Pass my order, mobilize a squad of 100 men to the fortress of the North Gate, bring bows and arrows and throw short spears, stop them from attacking the city, and-"
"Report to your lordship!" Before Ariana could finish speaking, she was interrupted by another herald who had rushed into the hall, who was half-kneeling at the door of the hall and shouted: "The east gate has been attacked by the enemy, the city gate has been destroyed, and about a thousand cavalry have rushed into the city!" The two captains, Curt and James, led their troops to block, but they were both cut down by the enemy leader, and both teams were wiped out! โ
A brigade consists of three squads, about 500 people, and two brigades are more than 1,000 people, which should be equal in numbers.
But under a thousand cavalry, it was so easy to lose, and so quickly, that even the herald wrapped the two pieces of information about the beginning and end of the battle together, indicating that the battle ended in a very short time.
The herald obviously knew that this was unreasonable, and his head was so deep that he didn't dare to look up at his lord's gloomy expression.
