The soldier rubbed his eyes, trying to cheer up, but the tiredness from the bottom of his heart made him lean against the wall, unable to help but want to fall asleep, his spirit was very poor.
Anyway, he is not alone, everyone is like this.
Some soldiers even have the magical ability to fall asleep standing up.
This kind of ability made the soldier very envious, and he also hoped to learn this kind of ability.
On this city tower, although everyone stood guard and sentry, few people really stared outside the south city wall.
Below is the dock area, and there are more than 2,000 sailors stationed there.
They didn't believe that someone would have the guts to attack the south gate of Lionheart City at night.
Few people stared at the inside of the south city wall.
The closest to the south gate is the slum area. They don't believe that there are poor people who dare to risk their lives to come to this city tower in the middle of the night. They just use the reason of trying to open the city gate privately, and they can directly shoot and kill the poor people who come.
Nothing like this has happened in over a decade.
Everyone is here to pass the time at night, and get a meager salary by the way.
There is no essential difference between being a whistleblower and working hard.
"Cheer up, soldiers?"
The commander of the sentry soldiers, a small captain said weakly.
It's just routine.
In order to prevent someone from reporting on his inaction as an officer, he would be replaced by the way.
Although it's not a good job to be the captain of this sentry team, but he is still a captain, and he can get 30 more small silver coins per week than ordinary soldiers.
After the squad leader spoke, none of the soldiers standing guard paid any attention to him, and it was still the same.
The squad leader didn't speak anymore, and even closed his eyes while standing.
He planned to sleep for two hours first.
It's time to yell again.
You can sleep till dawn.
Fifty Sarion Lion Knights, transformed into a shadow under the dim moonlight, quietly came under the tower of the South City Gate.
The soldiers standing guard on the tower, no one noticed their arrival.
The south city wall is ten meters high, and the thickness of the city wall within the distance of 50 meters from the south gate to the south gate is also ten meters. In this way, there will be a very wide position on the city wall near the gate, so that the enemy can attack the south gate. When the time comes, deploy more soldiers on the south wall for defense.
Below the tower, there are three arched holes side by side.
In each arched hole, there is a city gate with a width of six meters.
In addition to the city gates, in the three arched holes, there are two soldiers stationed below each city gate.
They were soldiers responsible for opening and closing the city gate, but at this moment, they lay down on the ground, soundly asleep.
In this arched hole, it is much more comfortable than on the tower.
The six Sarion lion knights slowly moved toward the city gate guard soldiers lying sleeping on the ground in the three arched holes.
At almost the same moment, the unknown Sarion Lion Knights touched a soldier.
They didn't use knight swords, they just held the head of the guarding soldier with both hands and twisted it hard.
Slightly.. Slightly..
The sound of the neck being broken seemed very harsh in the three arched holes, but in fact, it wasn't that the sound was loud, it was just that the environment was too quiet.
Six soldiers guarding the city gate died silently in their sweet sleep.
Due to the structure of the arched hole, it is impossible for the sound of the broken neck to be transmitted to the tower above.
In each arched hole, the city gates are two extremely thick wooden doors.
At this time, the two wooden doors were tightly closed, and there were three valves between the two wooden doors.
They are all made of extremely heavy and extremely tough wood.
The six Sarion lion knights quietly opened the gate valve of the city gate.
As long as they pull hard, the three city gates can be opened at the same time.
However, they did not do so.
When the heavy city gate was opened, the creaking sound was absolutely huge in this quiet night.
It will definitely make the gate of the soldiers standing guard on the dull upstairs hear the movement.
Moreover, when the heavy city gate is opened, it will drive the entire city tower to vibrate slightly. Soldiers who often feel this slight vibration can immediately know that the city gate has been opened.
These sentry soldiers are not scary, but they can shout loudly to notify the nearby barracks.
Then things will be a little troublesome.
The six Sarion lion knights who opened the gate of the city gate stood just below the gate.
Waiting quietly, and at the same time, guarding against sudden soldiers rushing into the arched hole and re-inserting the gate valve.
The other forty-four Sarion Lion Knights quietly approached the city tower step by step along the substantial steps built next to the city wall.
At the same time, they silently and slowly pulled out the knight swords at their waists without making too much noise.
Just like that, they stood quietly on the steps close to the inner wall of the south wall of Lionheart City, and they only needed to take two steps to go up to the tower and start a killing spree.
They were waiting, waiting for the agreed signal to sound.
If you just rush up to the city tower and make a big kill.
There are more than two hundred soldiers stationed on the tower, no matter how fast they kill, there will definitely be soldiers who will notify the people in the nearby barracks by shouting loudly.
By that time, General Bestier and the others outside hadn't arrived yet, so they couldn't enter the city.
However, the private army of Earl Simon Puran's family would rush out of the barracks and directly surround them, the 50 Sarion Lion Knights.
Even if they opened the city gate and escaped directly, even if they could escape with their lives, Bestur's plan to take down the city gate through a sneak attack would fail completely.
Therefore, they need to wait.
Wait for Bestur's signal, or wait for the sentry soldiers on the tower to find Bestur and the others, and give an early warning.
At that time, it was the moment when they rushed to the tower and killed wantonly.
It was also the moment when the six Sarion lion knights opened the city gate in the arched cave.
Over the River Resniston.
Thirty warships of three rows and 120 oars and sailboats, like shadows, quietly lurked near the water army barracks in Lionheart City.
In the water army barracks, there is a 30-meter-wide and 200-meter-long water bay dug into it.
The warships of the sailors docked in this bay.
On the shores on both sides of the bay, there are some sentry towers, and behind the watchtowers are sailor barracks with strict rules.
At the same time, there is a small dock on both sides of the bay, which is obviously used for repairing warships.
At this time, there was silence in the navy barracks.
The soldiers on the sentry tower are obviously of the same virtue as the guys on the gate tower of the south gate of Lionheart City.
Even more unscrupulous because there are few soldiers on guard.
They were also dozing off.
Kant led the water bandits, as well as his mages, mage apprentices, Swadian knights, and Sarion lion knights, also waiting quietly.
What he was waiting for was the thunderous shouts of killing at the south gate of Lionheart City.
At that time, he will be able to do it.
If he started in advance, the sound of fighting here would definitely alarm the garrison barracks at the south gate of Lionheart City three miles away.
Affecting Bestur's sneak attack plan to capture the south gate of Lionheart City.
Bestur's plan is orderly and interlocking. Kant doesn't want to make Bestur's plan fail because of his own reasons.
He also hoped that Bestur would win an "epic battle" or "legendary battle" to gain system honor points in this surprise attack on Lionheart City.
