Start Sanctuary: I stole Athena

Chapter 14 Storm City
The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated through the distant Ariya Mountains and shone on the neatly formed army outside the city of Dislanka.

Ryan took the lead and stood at the forefront of the army, looking at the familiar city in the distance. Behind him, the neat army formation was square, and the well-equipped [-] troops were waiting in formation, and the atmosphere of killing surrounded the entire army silently.

The defenders of Dislanka have long noticed the strongest army in the empire. At this time, the gates of the imperial capital that have not been closed for hundreds of years are tightly closed, and the guards on the city walls look desperate, and some even The hands of the soldiers holding their weapons were shaking.

Aside from the 2000 soldiers guarding the palace, there were only 3000 on the walls.

3000 vs. 50000, the day-to-day disparity brought nothing but despair to the defenders.

In particular, these 01 soldiers are the strongest army stationed at the border of the empire, fighting against the pirates who invaded the empire all the year round. Compared with the imperial capital, these soldiers only eat cards and collect protection fees. Man, the gap between the two is not 30:[-] points.

"The whole army is ready." Ryan saw that the person on the city wall that he was thinking about still did not appear, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then he raised the whip in his hand, and was ready to issue an attack command after all the soldiers looked over.

Suddenly, at the rear of the team, a soldier galloped through the team and came straight to Ryan, still shouting loudly: "His Royal Highness Ryan, urgent report from the City of Stormwind."

"What are you panicking, the sky won't fall!" Ryan was displeased when he was interrupted by soldiers just as he was about to give an order, but he also knew in his heart that he dared to interrupt him at this time, there must be something important, so he asked directly: "Storm What happened to the city?"

"His Royal Highness, the pirates of the Beasts Pirates, have landed in the territory of the empire under the leadership of Flame Calamity and Drought Jack." The soldier swallowed and said in a panic.

"What did you say, say it again!" Hearing the news, a general quickly ran to the soldier and grabbed the soldier's collar and asked anxiously.

"The Hundred Beasts Pirates... are here~" the soldier was held high in the air, tightly holding the general's hand and said nervously.

After the general heard these two words, his whole body seemed to lose all his strength. When he let go of his hands, the soldier fell from mid-air and fell to the ground with his legs limp.

Ignoring the soldiers on the ground, all the soldiers present who heard the news immediately focused their eyes on Ryan.

For many people, City of Stormwind is not just a fortress next to the border. The soldiers who have been fighting on the front line are the home of all of them.

In this cruel world, there are basically pirates wandering from the sea every day with greed. Soldiers have no tomorrow, and the red walls of Stormwind City are all stained with blood.

Most of the soldiers also settled down in Stormwind City to marry wives and have children.

These generals were willing to follow Ryan to rebel because of this. They didn't want their sons to live in this endless life forever like themselves, and they also wanted to leave Stormwind City and move to the most prosperous imperial capital.

Of course, although Stormwind City is relatively chaotic, for the vast majority of soldiers, this is their best choice.

The city of storm is the most important line of defense on the border of the empire. If the city of storm is broken, there will be peasants who have not resisted behind it, or a city with only a few soldiers.

The entire empire of the intruder will not have a single obstacle on his way to the imperial capital.

So for the soldiers, it’s the same wherever their home is safe, and it’s the same wherever they hide in Stormwind City. It’s better to let the family members stay in Stormwind City. It’s convenient for them to take care of them, and they go home every day. You can also have a hot meal.

This time they followed Ryan to attack the imperial capital. The original plan was also to fight a blitzkrieg, so only 2000 people were left in the entire Stormwind City for the most basic defense.

The original plan was to capture the imperial capital within a day, and then the army could quickly withdraw to Stormwind City, and the safety of Stormwind City would not be affected in just one day.

But at this time, when they heard the news of the Beast Pirates attacking, all the soldiers couldn't sit still. If it was to resist foreign enemies, even if the city of Stormwind was broken, they would live and die with the country. .

But if it is because of the civil war for the throne, of course the family is more important than who is the king and his family.

At this moment, Ryan's face became ugly, and he looked at the location of the palace with a gloomy gaze. Ryan knew very well that there was a lonely red, and it was impossible for him to mobilize the army to hide from his dictatorial father.

It is even more impossible to hide the movements of the Hundred Beasts Pirates from him, but his father just acquiesced that all this happened.

This is forcing him to make a choice. If he ordered to continue the attack, I am afraid that this army will be the first to oppose him.

If he went back to the City of Stormwind, he missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm afraid his dear father would never give him another chance, and his years of hard work would also be ruined.

"Go, go back to Stormwind City and kill the pirates!" Looking at the soldiers staring at him, Ryan took a deep breath, and finally shouted angrily.

He has no choice, has he?

If he is defeated, then go hang those pirates who affect his plan on the top of the city.

……

Stormwind
In front of the City of Storms, hundreds of pirates from the Beasts Pirates gathered together under the leadership of Jhin and Jack, greedily looking at the tall city wall in front of them, as if everything in front of them already belonged to them.

The city wall had already been lit with cooking smoke, and densely packed soldiers stood on the city wall with bows and arrows in their hands, waiting in full force.

Although the Hundred Beasts Pirates only dispatched hundreds of people, each of them is a master of the Pirates.

Putting it in the first half of the great channel or in the four nautical miles, there are also ruthless characters with a bounty of tens of millions of Berries.

Basically, more than half of them are devil fruit capable users, and half of them are dispatched by Six Flying Cells and True Fighters.

It can even be said that Jhin has already brought half of the Hundred Beasts Pirates here.

"Jhin, don't make a move this time, let me come alone, I'm going to screw that fellow Ryan's head off." Looking at the familiar city wall, thinking of the defeat not long ago, Jack shook the ivory on his body, and said to the side Jhin said with a murderous look.

"Then I'll leave it all to you, Jack, and I'll fight for you." Of course Jhin won't confront Jack, a brainless brat. Ryan's name is also widely spread in the sea. Jhin didn't want to take the lead in this role.

Of course, if Jack can't take Ryan down, Jhin still doesn't mind helping Jack.

"That's a good deal." Jack nodded in satisfaction. Jack had already made plans. If Jhin wanted to compete with him, he would beat Jhin to the ground here before going to Ryan.

"Little ones, rush for me!"

Looking excitedly at the tall city wall in front of him and the trembling soldiers on it, Jack rushed to the front.

While running, Jack's fruit ability was activated, and the hard long hair pierced his tough skin and gradually grew longer. The two long ivory tusks were like two sharp daggers, and soon a huge mammoth appeared under the city wall. Trampled the ground under his feet and rushed towards the city wall amidst the shaking of the mountains and the ground.
