On the pier inside the notch in the south wall of Lionheart City.
Bestur, leading fifty Swadian knights and three thousand powerful soldiers of the fifth-level arms, slowly moved towards the south gate under the cover of night.
Three thousand soldiers, even if they are all elite, but this number is still very large compared to this small dock.
Although the road leading to the south gate of Lionheart City on the wharf was built very wide for the convenience of the carriages pulling goods, it was a full 30 meters long.
However, the length of the team of more than 3,000 soldiers walking on this road is still more than 100 meters.
A large area of blackness.
so many people.
Speed, it can't be too fast.
The footsteps must be gentle, otherwise the sound of slightly heavier footsteps will be loud.
It must have alarmed countless people living on this pier.
With such rules, Bestur had already issued orders to all these soldiers when he was on the ship.
With the elite level of these soldiers, Bestur's order was undoubtedly executed very well.
Even the 500 Mamluks of the heavy cavalry and the 50 Swadian royal knights did not make much noise because the mouths and hooves of the war horses were wrapped in coarse linen.
Along the way, Ravenston rangers or Rhodok snipers killed drunks who occasionally appeared on the streets, or poor people or gangsters who were awakened by the army to investigate.
After all, more than 3,000 soldiers were marching, and the slightest footsteps would cause some noise.
And there are always some people who sleep very lightly, or are very easily awakened.
If you can't bear it and dare to come to the street to investigate, the end will be very miserable.
After walking slowly for nearly half an hour, the south gate of Lionheart City was already very close, only a hundred meters away.
Thanks to the new moon tonight, the moonlight is extremely dim.
Twenty meters away, it was almost pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
Otherwise, if it is a crescent moon or a full moon, under the bright moonlight, even two hundred meters away, you can still see the movement vaguely.
At such a close distance from the city gate, Bestur ordered the troops to stop.
Certainly not with ordinary shouting to give orders.
Bestur directly imitated the sound of three barking dogs, and the team stopped abruptly.
If it was Fatis, I am afraid he would not be willing to imitate the barking of a dog.
But Bestier, he doesn't care, as long as he can win, what's the point of mere imitation of a dog barking
Bestur looked at the outline of the city gate in the darkness in front of him, it was very blurry, it was really too dark tonight, the light of the new moon was really not much different from the absence of the moon.
Bestur believed that the Sarion Lion Knights who had lurked into Lionheart City must have completed the commission he gave at this time, and perhaps they had opened the gates of the city.
As long as he charged with the army, he would be able to rush into the south gate of Lion Heart City immediately.
However, Bestur did not do this.
Be safe!
There is no rush.
Bestur put the thumb and index finger of his right hand into his mouth, and whistled with a short pause.
Make a whistling sound.
This is imitating the cry of a night owl.
Bestur paused for about 30 seconds and imitated it again.
The sound spread far away.
In this silent night, it seemed even more abrupt.
The South County Territory of the Lion Principality, where the bustling plains are located, has many such birds.
They feed on voles and snakes and are nocturnal.
The soldiers who were born in the South County Territory were all familiar with this bird call.
Therefore, although the hooves of birds like owls that are active at night appear very abruptly, they will not arouse the vigilance of the soldiers on the tower.
No one stipulated that no night owl could fly nearby, right
Unless, they are standing guard very seriously, not letting go of any signs of seriousness.
But obviously, this is impossible.
The signal has been sent.
If the Sarion knight lurking in Lionheart City did not act according to the scheduled time and hadn't completed his plan at this time, then Bestur would regularly imitate the cry of a night owl every ten minutes.
Waiting until the Salyon knight in Lion Heart City completed his plan and had a corresponding response, Bestur would lead more than 3,000 elite soldiers into the south gate of Lion Heart City.
The results proved that the majestic 6th-level troops, the Sarion Lion Knights, who are comparable to the world's top knights, are trustworthy partners.
When Bestur sent out the signal for the first time, there was a cry of killing from above the gate of Lionheart City.
At the same time, the three gates of the south gate of Lionheart City were opened together.
Then, in the three arched passages of the south gate of Lionheart City, six torches were lit.
Bestur became excited, a bloodthirsty wolf-like brilliance flashed in his eyes.
He yelled directly:
"Decree: The whole army raises fire!"
Now, there is no need to hide anymore!
Directly, kill in!
In this dark night, a light source is a must.
Otherwise, it is very possible to smear the fast march and stampede to death.
Every soldier, whether Mamluk, Virgil archer, Ravenston ranger, Rhodok sniper, or Rhodok sergeant, took off the torch pinned to his waist, and held it in his hand. hands.
The same goes for the Swadian knights.
Every squad leader carries a flint and steel.
In a short period of time, the entire legion was lit up, with more than 3,000 torches burning blazingly.
The only person in the whole army who did not hold a torch was Bestour.
Bestur was riding on a horse, at the forefront of the entire team.
At this time, he pulled out the knight sword at his waist, raised it to the sky, and shouted loudly:
"Soldiers, follow me in and destroy the Nanchengmen barracks!"
As he said that, Bestur took the lead in galloping his horse, but of course his speed was only moderate.
"kill!"
Three thousand fifth-tier elite troops all responded loudly.
The royal Swadian knights and the Mamluks all followed Bestur on horseback.
1,000 Rhodok sergeants followed closely behind the cavalry, trotting forward holding torches.
500 Virgil sharpshooters followed closely behind Sergeant Rhodok, also trotting forward with torches in hand.
500 Rhodok sniper shooters followed Virgil's sharp archer, also trotting forward with torches.
Finally, there are 500 Ravenston rangers, because they are proficient in both long-distance attack and offensive combat, they are specially arranged at the end.
At this time, they were only 100 meters away from the south gate of Lionheart City, and the barracks at the south gate were just under the walls on both sides of the gate, with 1,500 elite private troops of the Earl Simon Pulan family stationed on one side.
