The Sun King's Evidence

Chapter 65, The Danger of City Destruction (5500 words long chapter)

"Catch them!" Birig raised his battle ax.

The front was gradually pressed across the Aarhus Bridge.

Every barbarian crowds towards the bridge crazily, wanting to drink more blood of the southerners, because only in this way can they have a chance to win the attention of the God of Darkness.

If they want to become the champion of Chaos, become a demon in endless glory, and become a real demon prince, they must seize any slight opportunity in the eternal and bloody war to show their "usefulness" to the evil god of chaos. , only in this way can they gain the favor of the God of Darkness and continue to step up the ladder to become a demon.

According to the previous arrangement, Nord's army seemed unaware of the increasingly disadvantageous situation in the battle. They retreated while fighting, without any intention of defending the bridge. They just ensured that every step back would cost the barbarians more lives.

Finally, the Nord army withdrew from the Aarhus Bridge, and the entire bridge was filled with barbarians. They loudly celebrated another victory, and then greedily rummaged for weapons, armor, and coins from the dead.

They didn't know what was waiting for them.

When more barbarian warriors poured into the Aarhus Bridge, Walnut Knight Nikolai judged that the time was right, so he gently took out an arrow and lit the tip of the arrow.

"Damn Yankees! We Nords are going to give you a big gift! It's a big treasure we carefully prepared~" Nikolay shouted with a laugh.

"Damn Yankees! Try our Nord's big treasure!" The Nord troops also shouted.

"Don't be blocked on the bridge! Don't be blocked on the bridge! Rush across the bridge! Kill all those lowly southerners! Don't be blocked on the bridge!" Birig suddenly realized something, and he quickly shouted loudly, signaling his The soldiers immediately pursued the enemy.

late.

"Boom!!!!"

The earth shook and the rivers flowed backwards.

The earth-shattering explosion collapsed the 30-meter-long stone bridge Aarhus Bridge. None of the barbarian looters standing on it survived. The sky was filled with smoke and falling rocks on both sides of the bridge.

Hundreds of barbarian soldiers and the stone bridge of Aarhus Bridge were reduced to scattered fragments.

"Hahahaha! Birig, are you satisfied with our gift?" Lops and Ike took away the barbarian marauders who rushed across the bridge one by one, then stood on the side of the bridge and shouted, Walnut Knight He even laughed loudly and signaled the soldiers to retreat: "If you are not satisfied, wait until Mjordenhaven, we have a better gift for you, and that is death!"

Ike's face was flushed with excitement, and the wandering knight took the heads of six barbarian marauders by himself.

"Originally, we could have done more." Ryan signaled some of the soldiers to retreat, while others stayed to continue sniping at the barbarians. The crossbowmen rained arrows wildly, and barbarians continued to fall down after being hit by arrows, facing the broken bridge. , the barbarians became the living targets of these crossbowmen.

But there was no smile on Ryan's face. In his plan, they should destroy the trees and houses on the other side of the river as much as possible to prevent the barbarians from quickly building new bridges. These barbarians traveled lightly and only relied on blowing up Bridges can't delay much.

The remaining two hundred crossbowmen and a dozen cavalry were firing cold arrows on the other side of the river, preventing the barbarians from building new bridges. There were not many trees on the other side of the river, and Ryan and his group were firing cold arrows again. The human tribe's actions to build the bridge were repeatedly blocked. The barbarians who tried to swim across the river all lost their lives to prove to Birig that this road was impassable. The barbarians could only honestly try to repair the bridge. Fortunately, the bridge exploded but the piers were still there. Birig Judgment shouldn't take much effort.

During the long tug-of-war, the Nords hided just outside the range of javelins and throwing axes. These annoying cold arrows brought great trouble to the bridge repair work.

"Waste! Waste!" The barbarian champion Kuro Lin cursed and signaled the soldiers to hurry up, because time passed so quickly, and the sun had changed from rising to high in the sky - in the process of repeatedly cutting down trees and building bridges, the barbarians Already spent half a day.

The cold arrows on the other side of the bridge gradually stopped, because the crossbowmen had used up the arrows they had brought, so Ryan signaled the crossbowmen to retreat, leaving only a few wandering knights and two kingdom knights. .

"Our plan was successful, Mr. Lane. The barbarians have been dragged here by us for half a day." Nikolai said happily. The casualties paid by the Nords today were not too many. The barbarians had already dropped more than 500 weapons. corpse.

"It would be better if we had time to cut down some more trees on the other side of the river." Ryan also nodded. After such delay, the Barbarians' footsteps were blocked by the broken bridge. It would be difficult for them to reach Mijorden today. Haven't.

Moreover, they also prepared some extra "little surprises" for these damn barbarians.

After the bear tribe built a bridge with the wood they had finally collected, a group of barbarian raiders hurriedly stood on it, hoping to cross the river quickly and eliminate the Nords on the other side.

"Three, two, one~down!" Nikolai's last finger fell, and the piers that had been moved collapsed under the gravity of people, and then were washed away by the river. The temporary wooden bridge that lost its support also fell apart, and ten more A few unlucky barbarians fell into the water, and the cold and biting river water gradually overwhelmed their senses.

The wooden bridge that took half a day to build was in vain.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!" The remaining people on Nord's side laughed loudly, and Ryan nodded slightly. The wooden bridge collapsed, and this group of barbarians had to spend more time crossing the river, so at least they would have to wait again. It took half a day to work, so no matter how full the plan was, the barbarian army was delayed by people like myself for a whole day.

The imperial army will arrive the day after tomorrow, leaving only one day for the barbarians to attack the city. If the barbarians cannot attack the city within one day, they will face the danger of being flanked by the imperial army - the quality of the imperial reinforcements And the number is simply not comparable to these defenders.

So whether he is losing his mind and attacking the city with all his strength or hesitating whether to retreat, Ryan is sure that he can rely on the city wall to hold on and succeed.

"Hahaha~ Stupid Nord Pig, do you think you can slow me down like this?" Brig looked unconcerned and laughed loudly: "Let me think about it, do you think you can stop me like this? Drag the imperial reinforcements to support you?"

"Go back and look at your city and see what happened to it?" A black crow flew onto the hand of the barbarian chief. The crow, symbolizing evil and wisdom, whispered to the barbarian chief. The barbarian chief nodded with satisfaction.

"???!!" The smile on Nikolai's face gradually disappeared, and the joy of winning and successfully sniping the barbarian army faded from the faces of the remaining few people.

"That's enough Birig, you used five hundred lives in exchange for the loss of less than a hundred of our people. I wonder what your evil god will think of you? A stupid coward? Or a crappy leader? Your ridiculous The tactic is to let your soldiers come up to die? Then I think you will never have a chance to win the favor of the evil god in your life." Ryan retorted, and then ignored the green and red expression on Birig's face and immediately moved towards the remaining few People issued an order: "The mission objective has been completed, let's retreat quickly!"

"Yes!" Several people's horses were covered with barbarian heads, and some even got more. They gained a lot this time, everyone was satisfied, and they were more convinced of Ryan's order.

The Nord army retreated in front of the barbarians. Before leaving, Nikolai fired all the arrows in his quiver in retaliation, killing a dozen more barbarian soldiers.

Riding on the horse, Ryan told the Walnut Knight: "My plan is to block Birig here until dark. Before arriving at the port, we have to snipe Birig here for at least one day, so that we can retreat back to the port. , we only need to hold on for a night and half a day, and the empire's reinforcements will arrive. Relying on the city wall, we are fully capable of resisting the offensive. Once the empire's reinforcements arrive, we can turn around and eliminate this tribe."

"The walls of Miljödenhaven are thick and high. As long as there are no mistakes, there should be no problem if you stick to it for a day. Mr. Lane, your plan is very successful." Nicklay praised Lane's plan: "Although it is not as expected. We will hold on until dark, but it will be at least noon tomorrow if Birig wants to reach the city, so we only need to hold on for one day."

"I hope that's the case." Ryan said, "As long as there are no accidents."

"Stupid! Weak! Scum!" Seeing the Nords disappearing far away on the horizon, Berig couldn't hold himself back and finally exploded. The big ax in his hand instantly chopped off the heads of the two incompetent people, and then angrily shouted: "Kuluolin! Take your people and make me a raft immediately! We must cross the Ovre River quickly! Otherwise the empire's reinforcements will arrive!"

"But Chief, there isn't much wood around here. It will take time for us to all cross the river!"

"Then do it quickly! We must cross the Ovre before dark!"

"yes!"

——Time goes back to two days ago——

The Blood Ax Mercenary Group is resting in Mjordenhaven. The former strong mercenary group now only has two or three kittens left. There is a heavy sadness on the face of the deputy leader Wilt, but he still puts on a strong face. Laughter encouraged the mercenaries to grit their teeth and get out of the difficulties.

However, the subsequent barbarian invasion gave Wilt another blow. As a mercenary group, they must be forcibly recruited by the lord. Although Albert opened his treasury and took out a large amount of wealth to hire them, Wilt knew that Blood Ax was now What is needed is not income, but cultivation and recruitment of new members.

The lord's order cannot be refused. Now it is Albert's officials who come to the door. If they refuse, it will be the lord's soldiers who come next time.

So the mercenaries were dispersed and organized into the city-defending army. Under the order of the count, the soldiers collectively cleared the fields outside the city, burned down the houses and cut down the trees. Only Emilia survived - Jialan suddenly came to the door. Congresswoman Theresa Trowick took Emilia away from the garrison officer on the grounds that she needed a "helper."

Banda was assigned to garrison at the East Gate of Mjordenhaven. This port city has only two gates, the East Gate and the South Gate.

"What should I do? What should I do?" The little mercenary's eyes exuded a strange light. His steps were a bit awkward, especially his left leg. He walked very awkwardly. Even if he was incorporated into After entering the military camp, he still wore a long cloak, hiding his appearance in the cloak.

His fingernails grew longer, as did his fingers, and more importantly, he began to be inspired by more and more dreams, and he gradually figured out a way to attract Ms. Trowick's attention.

The little mercenary became more and more talkative, and his language was as beautiful as the strong wine and warm sunshine in winter. The soldiers responsible for guarding the city were soon conquered by Banda's conversation. After each duty, his various weird ways The story became a favorite among the soldiers. In just one day, Banda gained everyone's trust.

The next day, watching Ryan leading an army out of the city, the little mercenary standing on the city wall knew that his opportunity had come.

That night.

Today it was Banda's turn to be on duty with another soldier, and the two men would guard the noose at the city gate at night.

The cold moonlight shone on the two guards, and there was an uneasy atmosphere among the defenders. The soldiers who were partnered with Banda shivered in the cold wind, and kept cursing the barbarians until they had nothing to say. Stop.

The soldier sniffed hard, and then curiously asked Banda, who was standing still: "What's wrong, brother? Do you think we can survive this war?"

"I don't know, I only know that my opportunity has come!" Banda walked gently behind the soldier, and then looked at the bottom of the tower in surprise: "Oh my god, what is that?"

"What?" The soldier curiously ran to the crenellations of the city wall and looked down, but found nothing: "What did you see? Banda?"

A cold dagger penetrated his chest, and the soldier's mouth was covered. After a convulsion, his thin body lost its vitality: "I saw death."

"Next..." the little mercenary muttered to himself. He asked the soldier to stand still, and then used the cold wall and the spear to help him fix his body shape and ensure that his position could be seen by many people.

"That's good." Banda had already received enough information from the soldiers who trusted him. He calculated the time when the guards would change shifts, and then secretly took advantage of the short gap to escape.

It has to be said that Banda does have enough talent, and there is no reason why he would be accepted as a disciple by the great swordsman Wilt. If he had not fallen into a fascination with Senator Gloria, his future is very promising.

"Wait for me! Ms. Trovik!" Banda hid himself behind the dark corridor of the tower and muttered to himself.

"I'll show you right away, the most beautiful one..."

"The most beautiful thing, fireworks."

"Boom!" In the early morning of that day, the explosion at the East City Gate woke everyone in the city from their sleep.

"What happened?"

"what happens?"

"Oops! The city gate is lost!"

"Did the barbarians come in?"

Citizens and refugees fell into extreme panic. People rushed to tell each other and trampled on each other. The docks of the port were crowded with people who wanted to escape by boat. Amidst the crying and crowding, people kept falling into the water. In the city, People crowded and trampled each other, and there were countless casualties. Despair was everywhere.

Lord's Castle.

Hearing the loud noise, Albert suddenly woke up from his sleep. He subconsciously reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword on the bedside, and then shouted outside: "Come here!"

"Your Excellency!" Several attendants rushed in from outside immediately.

"What happened? Tell me quickly! Did the barbarians rush in?" Albert immediately realized what happened and shouted frantically at the attendant.

"No, I don't know! We just woke up." The attendants responded in a panic. They were also confused.

Word soon came from loyal soldiers.

A huge explosion occurred in the armory at the east city gate. The room where the city's artillery was stored was detonated under unknown circumstances. More than twenty soldiers or mercenaries on guard were killed or injured, and several people were missing.

The worst thing is not the loss of military strength, but... the east city gate was blown down!

"My lord, the city gate has collapsed! The hinges of the suspension bridge have also been damaged!" Valdemar, the bamboo pole knight, rushed to the Earl's castle and said sadly: "The east city gate has become a ruin. We have lost the cover of the city wall and are about to Facing a direct attack from the barbarians!"

"Who did it?! Who did it?!" Albert's eyes turned blood red. Regardless of the fact that he was only wearing thin pajamas, the Lord Earl frantically grabbed Valdemar's collar: "Tell Me, who did this?!”

"I don't know, my Excellency, a total of more than twenty people died in the explosion, and several people are missing. We cannot identify the suspects in a short time." Valdemar said with an expression that was almost crying: "My Excellency, We are finished, we are finished, there is no city wall, how can we resist Berig’s 4,000 barbarian army?”

"Damn! Damn! Damn!!!" The 40-year-old Earl was pacing crazily in his bedroom.

"Count, escape! Let's escape to the south!" Valdemar walked behind Albert and said cautiously: "There are still several passenger ships on the pier, and the barbarians will not arrive until the morning after tomorrow at the earliest. We can get on the passenger ship first."

"Then what? As the Earl of Miljödenhaven, I am actually a greedy person who abandons his own territory and is afraid of death?" Albert snorted twice, then looked at his kingdom knight: "It's really unimaginable. Valdemar, my knight, you can only come up with this low-grade idea of ​​​​escape?"

"That's not what I meant, my Lord, I mean... we can do this," Valdemar really didn't want to fight. His knighthood of the kingdom was inherited from his father. He is only thirty this year. Many years old, not enough to be a noble: "We can entrust the city defense to Nicklay and Lane! Then we can wait for the results of the battle on the passenger ship. If Nicklay and Lane can lead the defenders to defend the city, then Of course everyone is happy..."

"Then what if we can't hold on?" Albert sneered.

"If we can't hold it... I mean if, then we can take a boat and go to sea temporarily. You know, our reinforcements will arrive soon. We only need to hide at sea for a day or two until the empire's reinforcements arrive. We can take the opportunity to land again and attack from both sides... uh, we should cooperate inside and outside! In this way, no one will think that we are escaping, this is our strategy, yes, it is a strategy!" Valdemar saw Albert and did not refute, Thinking of something interesting, his tone became much lighter: "What do you think of this idea?"

"You are really smart, Valdemar. It's not easy to come up with such a strategy. I want to reward you." Albert clapped hard, but the sarcasm from the corner of his mouth could not be removed. He shouted outside: " Emil? Bring your people in, I have something to give you!"

"There's no need to be like this. I'm just giving you a suggestion. It's you, the Count, who makes the decision!" Valdemar was a little embarrassed, and his eyes flickered even more.

"Earl!" Several fully armed guards rushed in from outside. They were all wearing full armor, holding halberds and swords hanging from their waists.

"Get him!" Albert suddenly drew his sword and pointed at Valdemar who was standing in front of him, and shouted angrily.

"What?"

My home was stolen, hey hey hey
