Section 86 Danger is approaching
As night fell, the medieval Baltic coast entered a dark time, and the wolves wandered in the dense forest. This night was so dark that there was no star. The torch inserted in the walls of Mecklenburg contributed the faint light, but even if the guards widened their eyes, they saw only a short distance below the wall.↖
"Today's Pomeranian camp is so lively." A Mecklenburg guard put his arm on the wall and looked at the Pomeranian camp surrounded outside Mecklenburg. I don't know why the Pomeranian camp today is particularly lively. The Pomeranians sang and danced around the bonfire and were noisy, as if they were having a banquet.
"Is it just to celebrate the death of their stinky companions?" Another soldier holding a crossbow in his hands shook his head and laughed, not understanding the thoughts of these pagans.
The soldiers of Mecklenburg could not understand the Pomeranians' thoughts, but the Great Chief of Pomeranian stood outside the camp with a scepter in his hand. His eyes were fixed on the ground between Mecklenburg and his camp. Several Pomeranian nobles were also fully armed by the Great Chief, and it seemed that they were holding a banquet.
"Let them be noisy." The chief turned around and shouted to his subordinates dancing around the bonfire.
"It's the chief."
"Oh oh woo woo ~~~." Hearing the command of the chief, thousands of people shouted like wild animals, and also tapped on anything they could find.
"Oh, these damn pagans are crazy." The guardians of Mecklenburg were upset by the noise, cursing the beastly pagans, and others scribbling crosses or praying to the lockers.
"Sharp~~~." In this noisy environment, the real intentions of the Pomeranians were covered. A faint rustling sound was made in the open space between the castle and the attacking camp. If there was light, you could carefully see a group of people wearing felt blankets crawling forward. The leader was Mr. Alger himself, and most of the others were other tribesmen and several ingenious Pomeranian soldiers.
"Squeak~~~." Mr. Alger stretched out his hand and groped around. In order to avoid being discovered by condescending enemies while crawling forward, they did not dare to open the felt carpet to find a way. They could only use their hands to touch the arrow feathers inserted on the ground during the day to judge. When someone touched the arrow feathers, they made a squeak like a mouse. Others began to gather in the direction of sound.
"Huhuhu." Mr. Alger gasped. This tactic reminded him of his life on the grassland from time to time. At that time, nomadic tribes often used this method to steal other people's cattle and sheep in the middle of the night.
After climbing for a long time, they reached the edge of the trench. To be cautious, these nomadic tribes stopped. They listened carefully to the movements on the city wall, because at this time, the people who were patrolling back and forth with torches on the city wall were very likely to find it. However, after a long time, except for the occasional conversations from above, the occasional sound of guards and occasional conversations coming from above were not abnormal. Leader Alger finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Pu.Pu." Master Alger rolled the felt blanket into the trench. During the day, the Pomeranian servants deliberately did not clean up the bodies in the trench, so when Master Alger rolled into the trench, he was not injured. Other nomadic warriors also rolled in as he looked.
"Uh~~." But when a Pomeranian soldier rolled into the trench, he fell unluckily on the pointed wooden stake in the trench. The pointed wooden stake pierced a Pomeranian body and exposed the tip, but it was the exposed tip that pierced his legs.
"Hi~~." Master Alger heard the low cry of the Pomeranian warrior, and big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. If it were his tribe, he would hold on without saying a word even if he was pierced at this time. But the Great Chief of Pomeranian had to arrange a few Pomeranian warriors, and now they were under the tip of the enemy's nose. If a crossbow arrow was found shot down, they would undoubtedly die.
"Sosuo~~~." A nomadic warrior immediately climbed up. He stretched out his big, smelly hand and covered the Pomeranian warrior's mouth. The Pomeranian warrior shook his head desperately in pain and frightened to get rid of the nomadic warrior's hands.
"Hu." The nomadic warrior also became angry at this time. He quickly pulled out the short sword with his free hand, and accurately stabbed the Pomeranian warrior in the heart with one knife.
"What sound?" The guardians of Mecklenburg on the city wall heard an abnormal sound. They held the torch and shook it down, but Master Alger and his tribal soldiers were motionless covered with felt blankets, and they were mixed with everything around them in the darkness.
"What happened?" At this time, Harvey led several soldiers to patrol. Her face was a little haggard but she was very energetic. In order to ensure that there were no mistakes in the city defense, Harvey always checked any loopholes himself, but even she never expected that the enemy was vertically below her.
"I just heard something." The guardian of Mecklenburg reported to Harvey. In order to prevent the enemy from giving death orders to the guardians, he would report to her any abnormal movements.
"Oh? Throw the torch down." Harvey thought about it and immediately ordered. Soon several torches were thrown off the city wall. According to Harvey's idea, throwing the torch down can illuminate the bottom for a period of time. Moreover, the sudden appearance of flames in the darkness will also cause chaos to the enemy who may attack.
"Huh!!!" The flames were thrown down and fell under the city wall or in the trenches, but there was silence where the fire could shine. Except for some corpses that had begun to decay, there was basically no abnormality.
"It seems that nothing unusual." The soldiers around Harvey looked carefully and reported that since there was no abnormality, Harvey led the soldiers to check the city walls in other sections. When the torches under the city wall were extinguished, they returned to darkness. Master Alger and his tribal soldiers carefully uncovered the felt blanket. They pulled out the dagger they carried and inserted it hard on the wooden wall.
"Oh oh oh ~~~~." In the Pomeranian camp in the distance, the banquet seemed to have entered the highest stage. Everyone was making noise. The noise turned the empty Mecklenburg walls upside down. The Mecklenburg guards frowned and tightened their weapons. Finally, some people who wanted to rest had to find something to block their ears.
"Oh~~." On the wooden wall, the nomadic tribal warriors inserted the dagger into the wooden boards with force. The walls made by the board building method were made of wooden boards and compacted soil. The nomadic warriors used their strong arms to use the dagger as a tool for climbing upwards. The agitated sound of the dagger stabbing into the wooden boards and soil was covered up. The Mecklenburg guardians on the wall were not aware of the danger being approached.
"Sir Harvey, you need a rest, please go to the Arrow Tower to rest."
"No, I'm not tired." Harvey waved his hand to Harren who was with her. Since she promised Princess Josie that she would do the city defense without any mistakes, Harvey would never allow herself to make mistakes. In her heart, she even had the intention of striving with Princess Josie.
"But if you don't rest like this, will we be powerless in the Pomeranians attack tomorrow?" Harren advised Harvey.
"What you said makes sense, okay, I'll close my eyes and rest here for a moment. You can't relax." Harvey felt it made sense when he heard it. She sat in the arrow tower and leaned against the wall and narrowed her eyes, but when she closed her eyes, for some reason, she remembered the moment when the torch was thrown.
"Wow huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh
