Chapter 284 Barbarians attack the city(1/2)
At dusk, on the ancient stone wall of Bainiao City, the soldiers on duty looked at the black smoke rising from the distance, feeling sad and angry, and held the spear in their hands tightly.
A disaster!
The sound of horse hooves that would sound at some point, the barbarians with oil paint on their faces, and the sharp scimitars in the hands of the barbarians were nightmares in the hearts of countless civilians in the northern provinces of the Loway Kingdom!
Every year, people are destroyed by barbarians invading their families. No one knows whether the barbarians will come to their village tomorrow.
Suddenly, the soldiers discovered a goshawk flying from the distant sky.
"Quick! Report to Master Sarlock! The barbarian goshawk appears!"
Barbarians have a tradition of taming eagles. In daily life, goshawks can help barbarians hunt. In war, goshawks are the best scouts for barbarians, because barbarian wizards can share their vision with goshawks with the help of magic.
Sarok, the son of Viscount Namisha and the acting lord of White Bird City, soon received the news and quickly summoned everyone to a meeting.
Sarlock looked around with a serious face.
"Everyone! The eagle is here!"
Everyone frowned. They all knew what this meant, which meant that the invading barbarians were very powerful, carrying a rare and powerful profession like a wizard.
But this is reasonable. After all, Shirago City is the largest city in the northern province.
"Everyone, the barbarians may launch a night attack tonight. We need to take turns to guard the city walls to ensure the safety of the city."
Sarlock continued.
"Barcelona Mavie, Sir Soma, Sir Podoro..., you five are on duty in the middle of the night. Baron Mavie is responsible for the parade, Sir Soma is responsible for the South Gate, and Sir Podoro is responsible for the West Gate..."
"Baron Tedoro, Sir Thom..., you five are responsible for the second half of the night, Baron Tedoro is responsible for the parade, and Sir Thom is responsible for the South Gate..."
"And I will lead the elite of White Bird City and be ready to reinforce at any time!"
"Yes!" xn
After understanding their respective tasks, everyone scattered and returned to their respective stations.
Baron Mavi also walked towards the temporary residence of the Green Vine Town in White Bird City. Sarok attached great importance to Baron Mavi, a timely friend who helped him, and temporarily recruited five courtyards as the temporary residence of the Green Vine Town people.
The first thing Baron Mavie did when he returned to the garrison was to order the kitchen to cook and give the soldiers a full meal. The war was coming and the soldiers needed enough physical strength.
The sun was slowly falling into the horizon, and Baron Mavie began his mission with all the people who had eaten and drunk.
The task of the people in Green Teng Town is to patrol. The patrol is to patrol back and forth on the city wall. On the one hand, they are guarding against barbarians and ready for emergency reinforcements at any time. On the other hand, they are supervising the soldiers guarding the city wall to prevent them from neglecting their responsibilities. At the same time, they inspect the precautions and check for omissions.
Baron Mavie divided 400 soldiers to participate in the city defense team, and he led a hundred elite troops to patrol the city walls.
A loud eagle cry came from the sky. Baron Mawei frowned and looked up at the goshawk in the sky, feeling unhappy.
The goshawk is always outside the range of the bow and arrow, and the bow and arrow have no way to deal with it. Moreover, the flying speed of this beast is super fast, and only the master-level mage's flying skills can catch up with it. However, there are no master-level mages in the city, so they can only be allowed to observe.
Baron Mavi ignored the goshawks on his head and continued patrolling. The barbarians had no siege equipment and could only climb the city tower through tools such as grabbing hooks. He had to be always guarded against the barbarians' raids.
The sky gradually became darker, and the torches were lit early in the city tower of Bainiao City.
Suddenly, a team of cavalry appeared behind Bainiao City. Baron Mawei rushed to the scene and looked out and found that the cavalry was carrying the white wolf flag of the White Wolf Army, and was delighted.
"Quick! Go and notify the Lord of Sarok, the third prince has arrived!"
A close confidant behind Baron Mavi received the order and hurriedly ran to the city.
After a while, the nobles in the White Bird City rushed to the city tower and observed the cavalry coming from afar.
Because the sky was dim and the sight was limited, the nobles could only see the flags and could not see the faces of the visitor clearly. Everyone dared not open the city gate directly.
Not long after, the cavalry came not far from Baibird City, followed by the power of magic and the glory of the moon. The nobles saw the armor and faces of the cavalry and breathed a sigh of relief.
It is indeed the reinforcements of the third prince - Millum!
After all, the barbarians cannot come up with so many sets of White Wolf Army standard armor, and there are quite a difference in their faces between the Luowei people and the barbarians. The main reason is that the barbarians are exposed to wind and sun all year round and they are going to look darker.
"Open the city gate! Get ready to welcome!"
After confirming the identity of the visitor, the lord of White Bird City, Sarok, led the nobles to the city tower and prepare to welcome the third prince who came from afar.
The king is old, and the four princes are fighting for the throne, and ambitious nobles in King Rowe all take sides.
The nobles in the northern provinces dreamed of changing to a southern territory to get rid of the invasion of the barbarians. Therefore, most of the nobles chose to support a certain prince, in order to achieve the merit of following the dragon and change the fate of the family. White Bird City is the third prince - the Millum.
Therefore, as soon as the third prince came to the northern province, he rushed to the territory of his greatest supporter in the north.
The city gate was wide open, the suspension bridge was lowered, and a bridge was formed above the moat.
The nobles came outside the city to greet them. The White Wolf Army riding horses was very fast. Everyone got their wish and surrounded the third prince and came to the Shimire family castle in the center of White Bird City.
No matter what society, a luxurious banquet is the best choice for guests.
After the banquet, everyone came to the conference room at the call of the third prince.
The meeting was short, but the influence was great, so the third prince, who naturally took over the command, offered to take the initiative.
Because it is far from enough to stand out among the four princes and defend the main cities, and to defend more villages and towns, if conditions permit, it is best to annihilate the barbarians entering the country.
Of course, the White Wolf Army had been on the road for a day and was exhausted, so it was inevitable that they would take a night off.
After the short meeting, Baron Mavi returned to the city wall excitedly. The arrival of the third prince gave this war a new meaning. If he could make contributions on the battlefield and help the third prince ascend to the throne, then nothing was possible!
Baron Mavi took over the command from the captain of the personal guards and continued his patrol mission like a chicken blood. If the barbarians were allowed to climb the city tower due to his negligence, the consequences...
...
Several kilometers away from White Bird City, in the woods under the moonlight, the barbarian chief, Permahan, sat casually on the ground, surrounded by five subordinates, discussing how to attack White Bird City.
After Viscount Namisha was defeated, Permahan led 10,000 people across the mountains and forests, sneaked into the Kingdom of Loway and then headed straight to White Bird City. He was about to destroy White Bird City and repay Viscount Namisha's previous "grace".
Permahan was originally 80% sure about his night attack plan, because White Bird City was not the Midoran Fortress built by the Kingdom with a large sum of money. It did not have such a high wall, so many elite soldiers, and so many masters.
But with the arrival of the White Wolf Army, everything became confusing. Although Permahan didn't know who the visitor was, he would definitely be a big shot in the Kingdom of Loway.
The fat man shouted with his big hands like a palm-leaf fan.
"I want me to tell you! Just follow the original plan, use the grab hook to flip in at night, open the city gate, and kill directly in!"
This great man is another chief under Permahan - Mumuta, who has the strength to enter the master level.
Of course, more than 10,000 barbarians were not just members of the Muluo tribe of Permahan. In fact, this army was composed of five barbarian tribes, and the five chiefs had high-level strength besides Permahan and Mumuta.
Ignoring the shouting of Mumu Tower on the left, Permahan asked the old man sitting on his right.
"Wizard Pamitchell, what do you think."
Wizards are the name of magicians by barbarians. Because the barbarian clan lacks systematic knowledge, magic knowledge has been passed down from word to mouth throughout the ages. In the large barbarian tribe of tens of thousands of people, there are often no more than ten spell casters, and most of them are magic apprentices who are not very useful. High-level spell casters like Pamitchell are even rare.
It is precisely because the Muro tribe has a master-level powerhouse and a high-level spell caster that Permahan became one of the five barbarian forward leaders.
The old wizard Pamitchell opened his eyes when he heard the chief's question, and his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life and sparks of wisdom shining in his blue pupils.
"I agree with Mumuta's proposal."
Permahan frowned and felt very surprised. In his opinion, Mumuta's reckless proposal was simply a mess.
But the caster has wisdom far beyond ordinary barbarians and has always served as the guide of the barbarian tribe. Therefore, Permahan respects Pamitcher very much.
Permahan signaled the old wizard to continue.
The old wizard took off the water bag from his waist, moistened his throat, and continued.
"The White Wolf Army that just arrived must be great figures from the Kingdom of Loway, and 80% of them have master-level powerhouses. After a day of travel, they must be trapped in the crowd. If we attack a wave of surprise, we might be able to catch them all in one go. In this way, all the chiefs can make great contributions."
"On the contrary, if they wait for them to rest well, the White Wolf Army will definitely become our biggest threat, so we must not only raid, but also catch the White Bird City off guard as soon as possible!"
Permahan lowered his head and pondered and weighed the pros and cons.
After a while, he made up his mind.
"Okay! This vote! If you fail, you will retreat immediately!"
"Wizard Pamitchell! Your wisdom is far above us. Please make a combat plan!"
The old wizard did not refuse. After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, he stretched out his dry fingers covered with wrinkles, and his black nails drew a simple map of the White Bird City on the ground.
"Look, this is the west gate of Bainiao City, Chief Mumuta, you will lead a team of elite troops to raid the west gate, and you will not ask to capture the city gate, but the movement must be a big deal."
"no problem!"
Mumuta patted his chest, and his fat flesh rippled.
The old wizard continued.
"The Shimier family in White Bird City has a master-level powerhouse. This master-level powerhouse will definitely be attracted to the turbulent west city gate. At that time, Chief Permahan will lead another team of elite troops to raid the south city gate and open the city gate."
"There is a dense forest two hundred meters away from the southern city gate. We hide the army in the dense forest. We just wait for the chief to open the city gate and launch an attack. Don't rush to kill people after entering the city. Let's set fire to distract the enemy's attention first."
"Then,……."
After the old wizard finished speaking, Permahan hit the ground and suddenly stood up.
"Okay! Just do that!"
"Mumu Tower, you can choose everyone! After picking it, go outside the Xicheng Gate to wait for the signal."
"no problem!"
Mumuta patted his butt and left.
