When she saw the army appear, Vivian immediately thought of one thing. She shouted out loud: "Oh no!" Not only Vivian, it can be said that the captain-level figures present had already thought of it. The problem is that the civilian area under Iron Fist Castle has no defense at all. Once this army goes on a killing spree, Iron Fist Castle will naturally suffer heavy losses.
"Damn it." Vivian cursed fiercely. She had to say that the other party was coming faster than she expected. In order to protect the safety of the nearly 10,000 people at the foot of the mountain, Vivian only had one way to go. She quickly issued a series of orders, asking some of the guards to guard the passage, while she rushed down the mountain with the lord's personal guards composed of members of the third and fourth squads.
Originally, according to the original arrangement, the Iron Fist Castle would have sentries placed around it. Once there was an attack from a foreign enemy, the news would be passed in in advance, and the civilians at the foot of the mountain would quickly go up the mountain under the organization of the army. The young and strong among them would naturally They will also be incorporated into the defense team. Back then, Iron Fist Castle defended tens of thousands of enemy attacks with more than 100 guards. Although this impressive record was due to factors such as terrain, this team was temporarily composed of young and strong civilians. It is also indispensable,
However, now that the army at the foot of the mountain suddenly appeared, Iron Fist Castle did not have much time to transfer its people. Without the support of well-trained castle guards, the civilians were simply vulnerable, even if they were willing to fight bravely against the enemy. Without weapons, the ruler of Iron Fist Castle could use this method to firmly hold these people in the palm of his hand in normal times. However, in the current situation, it has become the biggest failure.
On the mountain road of several hundred meters, Vivian and her guards rushed to the foot of the mountain in less than 2 minutes. However, Charon's men who had previously sent down to take over the position did not know what had happened. Vivian came to the foot of the mountain. The first thing she did after that was to let Charon and his men guard the road across the moat, but she only brought 20 people and rushed to the gate of the civilian area. The remaining people were assigned by Vivian to transfer the people. Yes,
The sun has just risen now, and the entire civilian area is still relatively quiet. Many people are even sleeping soundly. When the castle guards shouted outside, many people thought it was just a prank, but those guards usually They treat these civilians from a superior position, so the method they adopt is very simple, that is, kick the door open, then use their weapons to knock on the door repeatedly to make noise, and then continue to loudly urge those who are woken up to hurry up. Run in the mountains,
I have to say that this is a good method, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, it makes the atmosphere in the entire civilian area quite bad. There are those who are timid and afraid of death and even run out without wearing any clothes. Anyway, it’s summer and it won’t be very cold. There are also those who are stingy and love money. They would rather be killed than slowly pack up the valuable things at home and take them away. There are also those who don’t believe it at all. Come out and take a look. He didn't see the enemy at all. He cursed in a low voice, closed the door and went back to sleep.
The stable life of more than ten years has made the entire Iron Fist Castle relax. They have long forgotten how their ancestors went up to the mountain to defend themselves at least five times a month on average in a year. They also forgot that if sharp weapons were to cut into I will be killed. In the eyes of many people, as long as you don't hit me on the head, you can do whatever you want.
Of course, there is also a kind of people who have long been dissatisfied with the rule of Iron Fist Castle. They wish that someone would kill all the Emilio family. They think that they can live a happy life in this way, but they don’t know that this will happen. The only outcome is that he himself becomes the slave of the conqueror,
Vivian didn't know that her people had so many different ideas. She just ran towards the gate with all her strength. Although the protection surrounded by wooden fences around the civilian area was not strong, it could still slow down the opponent's progress to some extent. pace, and once the gate is lost, all the people in the civilian area who have no time to evacuate will fall into the hands of the enemy.
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the commander-in-chief of the army had clearly appeared in front of Vivian. She was dressed like an adventurer, but her golden hair was unusually eye-catching. Vivian understood it after just one glance. revealed her identity, it was Vera's sister Adela,
Adela quietly went down the mountain immediately after last night's dinner and hurried to a pre-arranged location. What awaited her there was a small army. Vera tried her best to design various ways to make the Saranar family the most vulnerable. The elite army broke into pieces and infiltrated into the territory of the Emilio family. After welcoming Adela, this elite army of 500 people traveled all night and finally returned to Iron Fist Castle at sunrise.
Originally, Adela thought that with her brother Vera's sophisticated plan and the help of the blood killers, there would be no problem in secretly defeating the core of the Iron Fist Castle. Unfortunately, no matter how smart Vera was, she could not calculate Ryan's anomaly. The invincible bloody female killer turned into ice sculptures under Ryan's hands.
Therefore, when Adela returned to the Iron Fist Castle again, what greeted her was not the kind eyes and warm embrace of her brother Vera, but Vivian, one of the bloodlines of the Emilio family, and her team of less than 20 people. Although she knew that Vivian's almost suicidal move was just to delay time and that she could kill them all with just a little effort, Adela's heart kept sinking because her brother Vera The plan failed. Adela knew her brother's temperament very well and knew that he would never be a prisoner. Maybe Vera had turned into a cold corpse at this moment.
At the thought of this, Adela's whole body was trembling. She suddenly pulled out the sword in her hand, pointed at Vivian and the others and shouted: "Kill." After getting Adela's order , the generals on horseback who followed her immediately pushed their horses hard and led their men forward at full speed. As a commander, Adela could not charge into the battle from the beginning, if the opponent Liu Ya comes over, aren't the 500 elites here going to cry without tears
So although Adela was angry, she still slowed down her war horse as much as possible after she issued the attack order, and let her men lead the army past her to attack Vivian and her party in front. However, Adela's 500 troops They are all infantry, and there are only about twenty horses in the entire team. This is not because the Salanar family is too poor to afford it, but according to the laws of the empire, lords like them are not qualified to form cavalry. Even if you really buy back hundreds of horses for transportation, you will still receive a ruthless blow from the imperial capital. No matter how conceited Vera is, she will not dare to compete with the invincible Royal Knights.
So some of these horses were for officers to ride on, and some were brought by the mercenaries hired by Adela. In order to ensure the strength of his hands, Vera not only hired bloody killers, but also hired them for his sister. With two well-known mercenary groups, this kind of power can protect Adela's life to the greatest extent. Even if the 500 troops are wiped out, those mercenaries who have experienced hundreds of battles can still protect Adela and leave safely.
