Linshui City is not Linshui.
It is hundreds of kilometers away from the Nushui River, but five hundred years ago, the Nushui River did flow through Linshui City. It was only after an earthquake that the route was diverted, and Linshui City became so untrue.
In the back hall of the City Lord's Mansion, there was singing and dancing.
The young and beautiful half-elf dancer was graceful, coquettish and charming, and all her eyes were full of sultry glances, which aroused a wave of excited cheers and pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax.
Viscount Yajia, the lord of Linshui City, sat in the first seat, looking at the half-elf dancers in the arena drunkenly, shaking his head to the rhythm of the music, full of interest.
But unfortunately, there are always some uninterested people who want to disturb his interest.
"Master Viscount, Lord Viscount!"
Viscount Jaga looked at Palong Knight who was approaching him, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"My lord, just now another group of deserters from Clover City came, and according to them, the Blood Cavalry Army has already crossed the river!"
"Knight Palong, do you believe the deserters? With the Tianma navy here, tell me how the people in the north crossed the Nushui River? Also, didn't I ask you to send someone to confirm? Did you send it? "
"Of course it was sent, and three batches were sent. But until now, none of the batches have come back."
"It will take three days to go back and forth from here to Alfalfa City, right? How can it be so fast?"
"But my lord, so many deserters have already appeared in Linshui City, which already shows that something must happen in Clover City, and we should make preparations early."
"Didn't I already send a letter to Bailu City, and you are also rectifying the family army, ready to fight at any time, what else?"
"My lord, to be on the safe side, the city gate should still be closed."
"Close the city gate?" Viscount Jaga hesitated, "Isn't it a bit of a fuss before I get the exact news?"
Knight Palong lamented in his heart. The Eastern Realm has been at peace for too long, and these noble gentlemen have already lost their vigilance. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard a half-elf businessman beside him hurriedly say:
"Master Viscount, you can't close the city gate! Our caravan still has a batch of goods to send to Linshui City today!"
Viscount Jaga's eyes lit up immediately.
You know, every time a half-elf caravan passes by Linshui City, they will give him some "beautiful gifts".
Looking at the enchanting and graceful half-elf dancer in the arena, Viscount Jaga's heart felt hot, and he immediately said to Palong Knight:
"Well, let's close the city gate after Mr. Sasse's caravan enters the city."
Knight Palong glanced at the half-elf businessman vigilantly, and persuaded: "My lord, I was worried that it would be too late..."
Viscount Yajia stared, and said impatiently: "What's too late! I really thought I didn't know how to march and fight. Even if the blood cavalry army really crossed the river, it would take two or three days, and they had to bring food and logistics over. , it will be five or six days before we arrive at Linshui City, how can it be so fast! Just do as I say!"
"Yes, my lord." Palon Knight had no choice but to take the order and leave.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Palong Knight came to the west gate full of anxiety, just in time to see a long motorcade crowded at the gate.
It appears that the half-elven caravan has finally arrived.
Knight Palong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to direct the soldiers to let the convoy speed up the pace of entering the city.
But just halfway through, the team suddenly got stuck.
"what happened?"
Knight Palong stood at the head of the city and asked the people below.
"Master Knight, a trailer was crushed by cargo."
"Clean up quickly!"
Knight Palong roared, and at the same time, a bad premonition rose in his heart.
He had previously felt that these half-elven merchants were untrustworthy. You must know that the half-elf kingdom is now firmly in the hands of Earl Angelet. It is hard to say that this caravan will not be a spy specially sent by him.
However, Viscount Jaga had long been bewitched by these half-elves, and Palong Knight couldn't persuade him at all.
Now he can only hope that the Blood Cavalry Army won't kill Linshui City so soon.
But sometimes, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.
boom boom boom...
The ground suddenly began to tremble, Palong Knight suddenly turned around, and saw a thin black line appearing on the horizon.
The thin line gradually spread out, turning into a black ocean, surging towards Linshui City at an astonishing speed.
He only felt cold from head to toe, and immediately shouted hoarsely: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The soldiers gathered at the gate of the city were stunned, and they hadn't been able to figure out what happened.
The soldiers who were helping to clean up the goods scattered at the gate of the city continued to carry the goods on their shoulders stupidly, looking at the cavalry who appeared in the distance with dull eyes.
It wasn't until Palong Knight jumped down from the top of the city and kicked down a few stunned soldiers that they finally came back to their senses.
"Quick, close the city gate!"
Several soldiers rushed towards the sling, but at this time the gate of the city was blocked by a convoy, and they couldn't close it even if they wanted to.
Palong Knight has confirmed at this time that this half-elf caravan is a spy from the North!
Therefore, he did not show any mercy, and immediately led his soldiers to forcibly drive away the caravan. If the other party hesitated, he drew his sword and killed him!
Seeing the blood, the half-elves of the caravan immediately dispersed, but left the carts of goods at the gate of the city.
Knight Palong had no choice but to ask the soldiers to remove the goods, while he himself gathered the defenders at the city gate and lined up outside the city, trying to stop the blood cavalry army that swept over.
In fact, there are one or two thousand defenders at the city gate at this time. Knight Pallon feels that with so many people, they should be able to block the blood cavalry army and buy some time. As long as the city gate is closed smoothly, the northerners may not be able to Capture Linshui City.
It is military common sense that cavalry are not good at attacking cities.
But unfortunately, Knight Palong overestimated the soldiers under him.
The Eastern Realm is too peaceful, the Nushui River firmly blocks the Northern Realm, and the elves hide in the Huiyue Forest, and the army in the Eastern Realm has never fought a few serious wars except for bullying and bullying thieves. Soldiers don't even practice much.
Perhaps they are more comfortable and proficient with hoes than with swords.
Therefore, when the forward of the blood cavalry army rushed to the city with an unrivaled terror, the defenders led by Palong Knight collapsed immediately.
They saw the bright red blood, the ferocious face, and the ruthless eyes, and then they peed in fright.
They dropped the swords in their hands, ignored Palong Knight's cry, turned their heads almost instinctively, and fled into the city.
Palong Knight looked at this scene, feeling completely hopeless in his heart.
But he glanced down at the knight sword in his hand, and the previous oath came to mind again.
Then, the eastern knight stood alone under Linshui City, facing the surging blood cavalry army alone, and let out a deafening roar:
"Come on! Northern barbarians!"
