40. The Battle of Connorson Island
The night is dark and the wind is high.
The guards on the top of the city held a torch and left long shadows on the walls. The hard-skinned boots stepped on the stone wall, making a crisp sound of "clicking and clicking".
The guards were wearing a layer of hard leather armor, and there was a layer of scale-shaped armor on their breastplate. The black cast iron scales made a "swish" friction sound as the guards moved.
Two guards hung standard crusaders around their waists, looking at the dark sea, whispering the unique food and beautiful girls on the island.
A torch is lit every ten meters away on the city wall. This is a kind of palm leaves soaked in whale oil and stuffed into a canned box and connected to a wooden pole. This torch looks more resistant to burning, and after it is burned, new oil-soaked palm leaves can be added to the iron box, which is very convenient to use.
There are many materials to defend the city on the city wall that is more than two meters wide. Some polished and round stone bullets are piled in the corners of the wall. Each stone bullet must weigh one or two hundred kilograms. This kind of stone bullet is specially configured for the catapult. In order to ensure that the catapult is thrown accurately, stonemasons need to polish all the stone bullets into the same size and shape, and the weight should not be too light. If it is too light, the thrown stone bullets will have no destructive power, and of course they should not be too heavy. If it is too heavy, the range of the catapult will be greatly discounted.
In addition, there are many arrows and short flying spears on the city wall, and some square tower shields as huge as door panels. There are some water tanks and sandboxes every twenty meters.
The military flags inserted on the city walls were clamoring in the wind, and there was only some light on the top of the city.
The sea was pitch black, and under the darkness, it was like a big mouth of a giant abyss beast that could devour everything.
The city of Connorth Island is also pitch black, and the buildings standing in the dark are like stone forests.
A vague figure climbed up from the wall, her fair fingers clenched into the cracks of the wall, and her body quietly climbed over the wall and hid in the shadow of a corner.
At this time, there was a sound of flapping her wings in the night sky. The two guards flew and turned their heads to look over and saw a single-winged white-feathered angel landing gently on the top of the city. With the torch on the wall, she could see that her face was pure and flawless, wrapped in a layer of leather armor, and she smiled faintly at the two guards.
The two guards rubbed their eyes hard with their hands, watched the beautiful angel folded their wings with the torch, and sat quietly on the city wall. Their round calves kept swaying, their beautiful faces, exquisite curves, and unarmed. The two guards quickly came over curiously.
"Oh my God, what is she? Is she an angel?" A guard asked his companion around him in a low voice, his eyes full of surprise.
Another guard looked at Deborah carefully and said with some uncertainty: "It shouldn't be that the real angel came, and it should emit a sacred light all over his body, illuminating the entire Connorth Island City. I guess she is a winged girl from the city of Clouds, and her wings should be injured. You see, she only has one wing."
The guard had a little grin and his voice lowered, saying, "We should help her. Maybe she escaped from Yunzhongcheng and ran outside to the innocent girl who broke into the world. Hey, man, we have to help her. Do you think she can understand the imperial language?"
Deborah waved to the two guards, wearing a thin leather glove that could conceal her slightly dark blue skin.
The two guards walked up quickly. When they passed a corner, a light body rushed out of the shadow. She pressed behind a guard and used a broken blade to cut open his throat. The guard pressed his throat with both hands and kept bleeding. His breathing became particularly rapid. He wanted to make a call, but found that his throat was hoarse. His frightened face seemed a little distorted. He tried to pull out the sword around his waist, but found that the power in his body seemed to have been evacuated.
The other guard was just smirking at Deborah, and he was not aware of his companion being killed.
Just as his hands were about to touch Deborah's white wing, an arm suddenly poked out from the wall, clamping his throat like a poisonous snake. He grabbed the arm hard and broke free with all his strength, but it had no effect.
He tried to ask for help from his companions around him, but found that there was no one around him. He could not shout, and wanted to draw out his sword and cut off the arm.
Deborah jumped off the walls lightly, pulled out his sword from the guards, and took it in her hand to look carefully.
The innocent eyes faced the Snow-Red Sword Blade. The guard widened his eyes at this time, looking at the other dark green succubus wing behind Deborah. His throat made a desperate "whimper" sound, and his feet in hard leather boots kicked the city wall desperately.
Kalancho's upper body was exposed from outside the city wall. She gently stepped over the city wall, freeing her other hand, twisting her head hard on the guard's head, and the guard's neck bone made a crisp sound. His head hung down unnaturally and swallowed his last breath.
"Where is Gija?" Kalancho asked Katerina, who was dealing with the guardian of the body.
Katerina shrugged her shoulders, saying she didn't know where I was.
I removed the magic effect of the 'Shadow Cloak' on my body, and crawled out in the shadow of a crossbow, and whispered: "Hurry up and put down the soft ladder, this is not a place to speak."
I poked out from the top of the city and made a gesture of peace below the city, but it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.
Kalancho dropped a bundle of soft ladders off the wall, and Deborah helped Kalancho tie one end of the soft ladder to the wall.
Katerina squatted beside the guard's corpse, pulled down the standard hard-skinned armor from the two guards, and wiped the blood on the hard-skinned armor with a piece of cloth. The guard's corpse was dragged under the crossbow by Katerina. The people at the foot of the city wall had already climbed up along the rope ladder. The one who climbed in the front was Captain Jaster. He opened his eyes wide and was cautious. He saw that everything was safe on the city wall, so he felt relieved.
The people under the city wall climbed up one after another, and the guards in this area of the city wall were all replaced by ours. The sailors on the slave trader all showed strong desire to wear standard hard leather armor.
...
We walked down the city wall along the stone steps, passed by a city gate along the way, and saw the locked gate and the guards at the door from afar. Jaste whispered to us: When we evacuate from Connorthen City later, we will seize this city gate.
This time, the rescue operation in Connorson City was mainly to rescue the confidants of Earvan in the Connorson City prison and to take all the soldiers and families in Connorson Island City away from Connorson. This was a large migration of more than a thousand people.
According to the plan, Earl Earl led all the fleets under his command to attract all the fleets on Connorth Island to leave and create a rescue opportunity for us.
The three sailboats Noah and I have never entered the sight of the rebels. They know nothing about us, so when they find that Earl Evan's fleet is all in sight, they will inevitably go all out and strive to encircle Evan.
In this way, the troops in Connorth Island City must be very empty, so we sneaked into Connorth Island in the dark, launched a rescue plan, and then brought these people to meet with Earl Ever on the sea. This is Ever Ever's "Great Migration Plan" of Connorth Island.
Because there were too many people on the list of people to be taken away this time, when we returned to the sailing boat, we could not climb over the city wall and return the same way as we did when we came, so we had to seize a city gate in our plan.
Successfully sneaked into Connorson City, and we had to act separately. Soon Captain Jaster took his entourage and disappeared into the night. He would bring his entourage to inform all the families in the island city for a limited time, and gather them together, waiting to meet with us.
Noah and I, as planned, occupied the Island City Prison in advance, where many Earl Earl Earl and some confidants were imprisoned. We wanted to rescue them, strengthen our team's strength, and then return to the city gate to seize the city gate as soon as possible.
Our team quietly marched along the stone street towards the prison. I followed the team and muttered to Noah in a low voice: "It seems that we have forgotten the most important part of the plan to rob the city."
"Where are we missing?" Noah asked me.
"Earl Evan's mansion in the city, I guess it has probably been occupied by the rebels in Connorson City. You said we made such a big noise in the city, and there is no reason for the Earl's mansion not to send a personal guard team out, but we obviously did not make any defense against this force." I said to Noah.
After hearing what I said, Noah looked dumbfounded and didn't know what to do for a moment.
I patted Noah on the shoulder and comforted him, "We don't have to worry too much. If the soldiers come to block the enemy, the water comes to Tutun. Then, we will rush out of the city."
"Yes, after we robbed the prison, we should gather a new force and then rush out of the city gate directly. Isn't this what we planned in advance?" Noah hit me with his fist and said excitedly.
I nodded to him, but I thought of another thing in my mind, that is, there are two Garen-class sailboats and seven five-masted sailboats moored on the port. Are those boats anchored in the harbor just decorations? What should we use to stop the pursuit of these two forces?
But seeing Noah's excited look, I couldn't bear to attack him at this time. I looked at the Rand Knight who was following Noah. The expression on his face seemed very calm. Although he had no smile, he seemed not worried about Noah's safety. It seemed that Earl Evan must have secretly told him something else, otherwise this battle-hardened knight would not have thought of these.
As for what to use to hold back the two forces chasing us, I am not that I can't guess it, but I dare not think about it.
...
With Katerina who could hide her body in the shadow, almost all the guards along the way were killed quietly.
When Caterina silently cut off the head of the guard at the gate of Connorthan Island prison and walked back as if nothing had happened, watching the head of the rebel guard wearing a steel helmet dripping blood on the ground, the sailors on the slave trader looked at Caterina with awe and fear.
The tauren Luka, holding a huge moon blade axe in both hands, stood at the gate of the prison, savagely breaking the huge iron chain as thick as his arm at the door.
The sound of smashing the door was like thunder rolling in the sky in the quiet night. Our team of people had been completely exposed, and there were also chaotic footsteps and shouts in the prison.
The sailors on the Slave Vendor flocked to the scene, and everyone worked together to push open the heavy iron gate. These guys have been doing these stealing, robbing prison slaves and other things over the years, knowing when they should rush up. The sailors in front, holding shields like door panels, rushed into the prison courtyard like a tide when the iron gate was pushed open, and collided with the prison guards heavily.
The sailors holding scimitars in the back swung out the scimitars from the gap left by their companions in front and slashed at the prison guards. Many prison guards had just crawled out of the quilt and had no time to pierce armor on their bodies. They just rushed into the yard with weapons and blocked the gate. Naturally, they were not the opponents of these sailors who had already prepared.
The sailors on the Slave Vendor stepped on the bodies of the prison guards and rushed into the prison in a swarm. Kalancho rushed in front with a double-edged sword, and broke through the seven large iron gates in a row from outside the gate. Although there were warrior guards with a turn in strength, they could only barely resist after Kalancho's slash.
The one guarding Kalancho is Miss Cheri, a female swordsman who is proficient in kendo. I have never seen such an excellent finishing technique. When Kalancho uses her powerful strength to defeat her opponent from her body to her heart, Miss Cheri often rushes up from the side and makes up for a fatal sword.
Even the eight constructed knights around Noah were not attracted by them, and Katerina was with me like a shadow. Only when the sailors met a warrior who turned or above the prison guards, Katerina would suddenly disappear from me, then flashed behind the warrior, and used the sword-breaker to perform a "throat cut" on the warrior. Even if the warrior who was agile quickly made counterattacks, Katerina would ignore these counterattacks and directly slap the attack with the excellent defense of the Asian Dragon Skin Light Armor. After the blade was wiped from the warrior's neck, these warriors would probably understand the truth on the battlefield.
Seeing Katerina's fierce fighting style of fighting for injuries and looking at Karancuo, who was leading the team in front of the team and rushing into prison, probably at this time the sailors on the Slave Vendor truly saw the real strength of the two of them. Oh no, maybe they knew the means we had since the day we seized the ship and killed Captain Johnny.
I was at the center of the team, and the four-type stone drum totem kept rotating around me. The magic effect range of the "Petrified Skin" exceeded thirty yards, and even the sailors rushing in front could feel my magic power.
Ice shields flew out of my hands, always appearing on the sailors who were chopped down by prison guards and took a killing blow for them. We have the absolute advantage of the battle situation. Although there were certain casualties, we rushed to break through all the gates of the prison. The sailors waved their scimitars like locusts passing through the border, smashing the doors of all rooms in the prison, and letting out the prisoners detained inside.
