Chapter 224: Unexpected rescue

Views:

Under the huge city tower in the west city, the winch turned, and the iron cables that were as thick as someone's waist were rolled up, pulling the huge gate in the city weighing 10,000 catties and slowly rising.

Just when the gate was almost as high as one person, Adeline bit her lip hard, and suddenly whispered: "Daphne, you, come with me, we..."

Daphne's expression changed, and through the car window, he reached out to hold Adeline's face, slender fingers gently rubbed Adeline's tender face, and said softly: "Don't be stupid, I'm different from you. Yes! I am the daughter of the Minas family, the crown princess of the empire, I am gone, how can I survive…”

"Then I'm not leaving either, I'll stay here with you, I..."

"Don't be stupid!" Daphne's face suddenly changed, she was always weak, but there was a bit of decisiveness in her soft eyes: "I sent you out tonight, and I have a great relationship, together with This Mr. Giuseppe will also be punished, but now you say no!! Stop fighting, leave immediately!"

Adeline was just crying, looking at the city gate that was still slowly pulling up, and then at Daphne, biting her lip, but couldn't say a word.

"Hey..." Daphne sighed, his eyes full of pity: "It's been a day or two that Your Majesty doesn't like you, and Garcia is away, no one can protect you! This time His Majesty's actions are too crazy. , once he succeeds, he will act without any scruples, I am afraid that if you stay here, he will order to kill you at any time if he thinks about it... You... "

Just when the two girls were reluctant to part, suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves resounded on the street in the distance!

Everyone present suddenly changed their faces, Daphne and Adeline also turned pale in an instant, and they looked back... At the end of the street, a team of 100 horses came whistling! Although he was wearing the armor of the city guards, he was galloping from a distance, but he had no intention of slowing down, and he was full of murderous aura! !

The officer named Giuseppe's expression changed, and he stepped forward a few steps and shouted loudly: "Who! The city gate is forbidden, and horses are not allowed to run..."

Giuseppe shouted twice, but the horse teams in the distance were already doing their own way. Not only did they have no intention of slowing down, but they were even faster! It seems that it is only a hundred steps away from here!

Giuseppe's face changed wildly, and suddenly shouted: "Close the door! Close the city gate!!!"

He had already drawn out his long sword, stepped forward and grabbed Daphne, who had been stunned, and roared, "Miss, get in the car and leave! Quick!!"

Daphne was shoved into the carriage, and the officer named Giuseppe closed the door and turned around, shouting loudly, "Get ready to fight! Line up! Archers, sure..."

call out!

A sharp arrow came through the air and shot directly through his throat! The officer's eyes bulged out, clutching his blood-gushing throat, and fell backwards! His back slammed into the car door heavily, and with a bang, the hearts of the two girls in the car sank!

The whistling scream came instantly!

The cavalry of the rebels who came running quickly roared and launched a salvo. The coachman in the carriage tried to wave the whip to resist, but was quickly hit as a target. With a scream, the horses were hit by arrows, and they quickly went to the target. After running for a few steps, he took the carriage and rammed it out. Then, after the horse pulling the carriage fell, the car stopped abruptly, and hit the city wall sideways.

The two girls inside exclaimed repeatedly, and they heard the sound of "Duoduo" coming from outside from time to time, which was the movement of sharp arrows nailed to the wooden planks of the carriage.

The hooting of horses' hooves has already arrived here, and the cavalry rushed under the city tower. Although the soldiers defending the city have tried their best to form an array to try to block it, most of the city guards have been dispatched to the red zone to besiege, under the city gate. The remaining troops were obviously weak.

El Salvador's rebels were the most elite fighters selected. The cavalry at the front quickly rushed into the array of defenders and slashed back and forth. These cavalry also knew very well that if they could not overwhelm the enemy and rush out of Osgilia, Then once the City Guards react and mobilize a large group of troops, there is only a dead end waiting for everyone!

El Salvador also drew his long sword in the midst of the chaos. Although he was surrounded by two master guards from the family, he did not need the leader to fight in person, but his roar still desperately boosted morale.

"Kill it out! Kill it if you want to survive!!"

The elite level of these cavalry under the Salvador family far exceeds that of the city guards, especially the more than 100 cavalry, everyone is the elite of the selected elites, even in the dark, at the same time, there are a few fighting spirits. When the light came, the masters in the family attacked the defenders of the city gate in the dark night, and soon the city guards were killed and injured.

"Put down the gates! They're going to rush out! Put down the gates! Stop them!"

During the chaotic battle, other officers on the city tower shouted loudly, and the defenders on the city wall also heard the movement. Several groups tried to rush down the steps of the city wall, but El Salvador was very shrewd, and he had already sent two groups of people. He blocked the steps leading to the city wall, and used the swords of war horses and knights to block the route that the defenders on the city wall were trying to rescue.

There were only dozens of defenders under the city gate, and the two sprints of the cavalry broke these people down. In desperation, an officer shouted sharply: "Cut the winch! Cut it!"

A soldier rushed to the winch, swung a long sword and chopped it up. The rebels in the distance discovered this move - once the winch was cut off and the heavy gate was lowered, no one would want to rush out of the city. !

call out!

A sharp arrow came and shot through the soldier of the city guard who tried to cut off the winch. The body fell on the winch. The other two soldiers rushed up and tried to continue the work, but they were quickly shot by the cold arrow with a scream. shoot.

Salvador's eyes flickered, his eyes were sharp and bright, and he still shouted with all his might.

But at this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard on the street far behind, and in the dark night, the light of torches in the distance could be clearly seen quickly approaching here!

"Sir, the chasing troops are here!" The two guards shouted anxiously.

"What are you panicking! There is still a long way to go! Go out! As long as we go out, we will succeed!" Although Salvador's palms were full of sweat, at this moment, he still showed the calmness of a commander. He knew very well that he was the leader. , If you mess up first, then the people below will only be afraid...

It was General Spahn and his cavalry who were chasing from a distance. He brought his own cavalry to chase along the way, because the people in the red zone suddenly counterattacked and delayed some time. In the dark night, in order to find these rebels The trail took a lot of time, so I finally caught up now.

Spann had heard the sound of fighting in the direction of the city gate from a distance, and he was extremely anxious. If Salvador escaped, then he…

Seeing that there is the last street left in front of you, you can reach the city gate after rushing through this short few hundred meters! Spahn was anxious, raised his sword and roared: "Quick! Quick, quick!!"

The cavalry vigorously kicked the belly to urge the warhorse under the crotch, and the long cavalry team rushed through the street. This street is not wide, and the narrow street crushed a hundred and ten horses so that they could only walk side by side, and the horse team was pulled long.

And at this time, suddenly there was a loud "bang rumbling" in the dark night!

The two tall buildings next to the street suddenly collapsed! The building that collapsed with a bang, the front wall directly crossed the street in front, and the road was immediately blocked by rubble and broken walls!

"Applause!!!!"

The cavalry, who were running with all their strength, immediately subconsciously restrained their horses to slow down, and the team immediately became chaotic.

Spahn, who was at the front, was shocked. Before he could react, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air in the darkness!

Enemy attack! !

Spahn's heart sank, and he had already heard the screams of cavalry being shot by arrows, turning over and falling from the horse!

Spahn shouted: "Enemy attack! Dismount! Dismount!! The left team goes around!!!"

As soon as he finished shouting, a sharp arrow was shot on his shoulder. With a scream of pain, Spahn rolled over and fell off the horse, and rolled twice on the ground. Looking up, I saw dozens of black figures swaying on the houses on both sides of the street. Those guys were all holding bows and arrows, standing on the roof and shooting at the cavalry on the street.

More than a dozen cavalrymen under Spahn had been killed or wounded. He jumped up and grabbed one of his subordinate officers: "Bring ten people around! You bastard! Go around!!"

Those people on the roof didn't know what it was. After a few rounds of salvos, the archers in black quickly retreated. Under the cover of the night, they shuttled back and forth on the roof, fighting and retreating. Spahn's cavalry all wore armor, and it was obviously too difficult to climb up the roof to counterattack, and these sneak attack guys didn't seem to have any intention to fight recklessly. They just slowly retreated while shooting arrows, using bows and arrows to effectively block Si. The speed at which Pan's cavalry advanced, dragged the chaser little by little.

Although Spahn was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, he could only roar in vain.

Bow and arrow! Heck, bows and arrows! !

Spahn swears in his heart that after this incident, he must equip each of his direct cavalry with a hand crossbow!

The distance was only a few hundred meters, but Spahn's people were slow to rush over, and now the fierce battle under the city gate has reached its final moment!

Salvador had already heard the sound of the fierce battle in the distance behind him, and he was also wondering: who helped him block the chasing soldiers? !

But at this time, he couldn't allow him to be distracted and think about other things. He just shouted again and again and directed his subordinates to attack the city gate desperately.

Several rebels have rushed to the winch that controls the gate, two of them pull the noose together, and the others form a circular array to protect it.

The heavy gate was pulled up again with a creaking sound, and soon it was pulled to a height of more than two meters. The rebels cheered, morale boosted, and the defenders under the city finally collapsed, and the remaining people shouted and finally fled.

The hearts of the two girls hiding in the carriage were beating wildly. Both of them were pale and hugged tightly.

At this time, with a bang, the compartment door was slammed open, and a rebel peeked into his head from the outside, saw the two girls at a glance, was stunned at first, Adeline saw it, kicked it, and was Kicked in the face of the rebel, the guy took a few steps back, and then more rebels rushed up and pulled the two girls out of the car.

Salvador had come to the front and saw the two prisoners. The Minister of Military Affairs was also stunned for a moment, and then a strange smile appeared on his face: "Look! Who is caught! Haha! It seems naive You are so kind to me! A future queen! Oh, and a princess! Hahahaha! Two lovely little girls, did they accidentally get lost here at night!"

Daphne took a deep breath and tried to pretend to be calm: "Master Salvador, you..."

"Tied up! Bring them! Hahahaha!!"

El Salvador didn't talk nonsense with them either. The two rebels came over and lifted one of the girls with their hands and feet bound and threw the other on their horses.

Immediately, with a whistling sound, the rebels rushed out of the city gate. The river bridge outside the city was empty, and the rebel cavalry filed out, rushed across the bridge, and galloped away.

At this moment, the soldiers on the city wall had rushed down from the city gate, and the rebels blocking the steps had all been killed and wounded, and could no longer stop the defenders' rescue. But the last few rebels grinned and stood beside the winch, wielding swords... With a few bangs, the winch was cut off, and the heavy gate slammed down as the iron cables that were out of control quickly turned! ! !

If the defenders want to go out to chase and kill, at least they have to repair and open the gate first...

On the other side of the bridge, on the other side of the river, there were originally two towers with checkpoints. According to the usual practice, a small team of city guards will be stationed here to check the pedestrians passing in and out of the city on weekdays. When they rushed here, the rebels I thought I would go through a fierce battle, but when I came to the bridge, I suddenly found that it was quiet here...

There is no one alive under the checkpoint! The city guard squad that was originally stationed here has turned into more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground.

"Call!!"

Salvador immediately restrained the war horse and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

At this time, several men in black jumped out of the tower at the checkpoint. In the dark night, a figure stood at the highest point, looking coldly at the rebels and El Salvador below.

Salvador noticed that these men in black were holding swords, and blood was dripping from the blade!

"Who are you!" Salvador gritted his teeth.

The man in black suddenly smiled, jumped down from above, and landed in front of the rebels. The rebels' swords were in front of him, but this guy was not afraid and looked up at El Salvador: "You Is that how you thank those who helped you escape?"

Salvador sneered, holding a long sword in his hand: "Who the hell are you?!"

The man in black smiled slightly, then walked in front of Salvador. Salvador raised his hand and signaled his subordinates not to stop him, letting this guy come to him.

The man in black looked at El Salvador, pulled the black scarf on his face with one hand, lifted it up quickly, and quickly put it back on. Only the two guards beside El Salvador and El Salvador himself could see each other's appearance.

Salvador's face suddenly changed: "You?! It's you?!"

He looked around and lowered his voice: "Lord Junker! You Dark Night Royal Forest actually betrayed the emperor! Ha! I really didn't expect you to help me escape!"

The man in black in front of him, the moment he lifted the mask just now, his face clearly fell into Salvador's eyes, it was so real! It is the leader of the Dark Forest, who has always been most loyal to the emperor, Junker! !

El Salvador understood in an instant... Only the elite warriors of the Night Royale can strongly stop the chasing soldiers on the road, and have the ability to kill all the defenders at this post, clearing the way for themselves.

"You... why!" Salvador directly asked the most crucial question.

"In order to let you escape." Junker said lightly: "This is not an easy task. I have people in the city guards, and I have made all the preparations... Even if you did not arrange such a plan to escape for your life. , I can also find a way to get you out when I finally attack the red zone... However, Lord El Salvador is indeed Lord El Salvador! You really have your own way to escape."

El Salvador stared at Junker: "I still have that question... why!!"

Is Junkers ready to take refuge in me

Thinking of the dark night forest with hundreds of elites, El Salvador can't help but feel a little warm, after all, this is a rare elite!

"Let's go, don't let my efforts down." Junker shook his head: "In order for you to escape smoothly, I have lost several capable men! Lord Salvador, escape! After you escape, do what you want to do. Things! Remember, be sure to do a great job. Hahahaha!"

"Come with me." Salvador was indeed worthy of being a powerful person in a high position, and immediately made the intention of soliciting: "I will definitely live up to you!"

Junker still shook his head and looked at El Salvador: "You misunderstood me. Oh, yes, let me give you a piece of advice."

"… you say."

"I know that after you escaped from the imperial capital, you must immediately go to the city of Merika in the Armenian military region to meet Governor Hughes... Because this is the military region closest to the imperial capital. As long as you escape to the Armenian military region, you don't have to worry about the city guards. The hunted and killed." Junker said quickly: "However, Lord Salvador, I hope you will remember one of my advice... You are now the leader of the Red Round Table, but once the empire collapses, the Red Round Table will collapse! Governor Hughes is the next Speaker of the Red Round Table, and you are the current Speaker... Do you think that once the civil war in the Empire breaks out, you can still get along? Chief's! And chiefs, usually, there can only be one."
