The attack happened shortly after dawn, and the enemy seemed to suddenly jump out of the darkness.
The soldier in charge of the sentry squatted on the wall of the manor and saw a dark figure swaying not far away. He volleyed an arrow carelessly, and screamed in response to him.
This scream was a signal, more figures jumped out of the hazy fog, and even a knight riding a horse sprinted out. The sentry could only shout loudly, calling his companions to come to help.
Before and after dawn, it was the period when the Sentinel was at its worst vigilant. There were too many recruits in the Fifth Action Team, and their reaction was slower than half a beat after hearing the shouts. Seeing that the fence couldn't be guarded, the officer leading the team rushed out from the main castle of the manor, calling for their personnel to retreat.
The villages and towns in the north are all fortresses, consisting of fortresses and walls. Even if it is a run-down knight, his manor has built a wooden fort that takes care of both accommodation and defense.
Food and drinking water have been stocked in the wooden castle for at least five or six days, and narrow and sturdy perforations and observation windows have been repaired. The simple houses around the wooden castle are the places where the servants live, and they are facilities that can be abandoned at any time.
Lorraine is a rare civilian who can write and lives on the second floor of the wooden castle. She heard the warning call and immediately got up and looked out the window.
The windows of the room were only the size of a human head, but as far as the eyes could be, at least dozens of people could be seen attacking outside the manor. The enemy came too suddenly, and the number of people was particularly large, like locusts.
"Holy Light, I'm Eve Lorraine. My fifth action team was attacked on the No. 18 target manor. There are many enemies. We have abandoned the outer wall and retreated to the main castle. We ask for support."
Lorraine grabbed a piece of clothing at random and put it on, grabbed a short knife for self-defense from the head of the bed, hurriedly rushed out of the room, and down the stairs to the ground floor.
On the ground floor of the main fort is the large living room, the sentry withdrew from the outside, and the main force of the action team got up. The leader of the team grabbed a sword and stood at the door shouting: "Don't panic, the Holy Light is with us. Hold on for a meal, and support will come."
In a surprise attack, the will of the resisters is the key. It is necessary for the soldiers to understand that they are not in a desperate situation-Sophia's communication limit is two thousand and five hundred, but at this moment she will focus on Lorraine's Fifth Action Team.
When the sweet voice of the little girl came directly into his head, the panic of the Fifth Action Team was quickly brought under control. Dozens of people were calm or panicked, and a large amount of information was directly aggregated to Sofia. The little girl comprehensively evaluates the information and then feeds them back.
Lorraine quickly received instructions from the'Holy Light'-civilian staff should not directly intervene in the battle, and organize the second-line personnel in the team to act as logistics, find out the medical box, open up a safe area, and prepare to accept the wounded.
The leader of the team also received a synthesis of information sent by the'Holy Light'—according to the sentinel's feedback, the enemy encircled your manor on all sides, and the number of them was no less than two hundred. It will take an hour for the support to arrive at the earliest, ready to fight a tough battle.
There is basically no loss when the personnel are gathered. The area of the manor’s main castle is very small, and dozens of troops are sufficient. The door to the living room on the ground floor was blocked, and the infantrymen guarded the windows on the ground floor. The officer leading the team climbed to the top of the third floor of the main fort and took control of the overall situation.
In the face of the enemy attack, everyone was very flustered and nervous. However, the existence of the backbone veterans played a very important role model, and the message sent by Sophia through the Internet helped the team maintain its basic combat effectiveness.
Looking out from the attic on the top floor with the light of the gray sky, there are far more than two hundred enemies outside the manor wall. Lorraine looked out from the window on the second floor, screaming when he was frightened.
The enemy was holding the banner of Longlegs House in Coldwind City, and the number was more than 500. It was obviously a premeditated and organized noble counterattack. They were definitely not looking at the Fifth Action Team temporarily, but carefully selected targets.
Lorraine was reporting his findings to the'Holy Light' when he heard messy footsteps and breathing coming from the bottom. More than a dozen infantrymen took apart the heavy metal crossbow that launched yesterday and prepared to carry it to the three-story attic.
According to Zhou Qingfeng's "Field Operations Norm", the leader of the team must store the combat equipment carried by the action team in a strong fortress. Carriage and horses can be thrown out, weapons and ammunition must be loaded and unloaded.
The recruits of the action team originally felt that this rule was too tiring, and it was really troublesome to carry these heavy equipment every time they camped. But now the rules and regulations guarantee that they will be able to fight back in the face of raids and siege.
It took time for the heavy metal crossbow to be transported to the attic, but the soldiers at the bottom took out the light crossbow they were equipped with. The wooden box containing the arrows was violently broken open, and the infantrymen assigned the tied arrows to each battle position.
On the first floor of the ground floor, two soldiers stood after each perforation, taking turns loading and shooting. When the ground floor is full, every window on the second floor is also used. Even the reserve personnel such as Lorraine are equipped with crossbows and ammunition, ready to go up at any time.
When all these preparations were made, the attacking enemy only occupied the wall but failed to coordinate the attack. The opposing team's daunting attitude boosted the morale of the action team. Lorraine also took out a bottle of'stamina potion' from the logistics box and gave it to the soldiers one by one.
After taking a sip of the'physical potion', a guard veteran yelled habitually, and his face quickly turned red. He laughed a lot, smashed the empty wooden bottle on the ground, and shouted like a cheer, "Enough enough, I like the spicy taste."
Zhou Qingfeng used Hidden Servant as free labor, and the largest amount of his alchemy product was'physical potion'. The hard-to-eliminate spicy smell in the medicine has become a sign, and only the first-class products have this smell.
After drinking the potion, all the officers and soldiers of the action team felt excited.
Outside the manor, hundreds of serf soldiers were running with turmoil. More than a dozen fleeing aristocrats from Coldwind City rarely get together and decide to work together to get rid of a group of untouchables.
This is a battle out of the nest. In just one night, he gathered forces far beyond the action team, and used the environment to launch a surprise attack. The start of the battle was perfect.
Outside the team, Johnson Dorixin's tall figure was hidden in the mist. It took him a day to send his children everywhere to contact, or to arouse generals or temptations, to gather a team of more than six hundred people, using the night to maneuver together.
This is simply a miraculous task. All the nobles who contacted have tried their best to participate in the war and brought out all the troops they could bring. No accident occurred during the entire assembly process, and all troops arrived safely.
Probably it was forced by Zhou Qingfeng's brutal means to nowhere to retreat, or the glory of the nobles forced them to do their best. When the more troops gathered, the morale of the nobles' counterattack surged like flames.
They finally generously fed their attendants and servants, and offered high rewards as incentives—for every untouchable soldier killed, a gold coin was rewarded, and the boss was doubled.
The servants only knew that their master suddenly became extremely generous. Many people have been exempted from debts and taxes, as long as they move forward courageously in battle. If you can do meritorious service, you might have gifts like redeeming your wife and daughter.
A few lucky slaves boarded the fence first, and their master immediately announced that they were granted civilian status and allowed them to live a normal life.
The other servants and serfs who participated in the war were extremely jealous at the gold coins issued. They grabbed swords or dung forks, and screamed in excitement-mainly because the nobles were crowded and overwhelmed, which brought inexplicable confidence.
Johnson turned around and said to the second daughter: "Cast the cannon fodder to make them brave and rush in. As long as you keep killing the untouchables, Victor Hugo will definitely be dispatched, and our Kelly voters will follow him. Around."
Ha ha ha ha..., the dozens of people in Duo Rui Xing's family all smiled.
