The 335th Night Raid
However, what they didn't expect was that after these men in black crawled to them, they first made a shushing gesture to stabilize them, and then when everyone was in place, they gave a secret signal and started to attack together. The dagger stabbed them to death. Everyone was stabbed in the throat with one blow, leaving them unable to make even a sound.
All the dead people opened their eyes wide and looked at the men in black who were supposed to be friendly forces. Their desolate and puzzled expressions seemed to be asking them what they were asking.
A man in black seemed to be unable to bear such resentful eyes, and said helplessly in a voice as low as possible: "There is nothing we can do about the orders from above, so keep going, brother!"
After saying that, he climbed up with the other companions, and soon climbed up the city wall. It's strange that there is no one guarding here, not even a sentry. The entire castle was also quiet, as if everyone had fallen asleep.
All the men in black were surprised by this strange thing, and felt that something was wrong. But they were already here, and they couldn't retreat without any reason, so they had no choice but to continue. However, when they were about to walk down the city wall and head into the castle, dozens of rockets were suddenly shot from the high main tower of the castle.
These rockets were not directed at people, but were inserted straight into the city wall. Then, the entire top of the city wall was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire. It turned out that Lao Xie had long been on guard against being attacked by others. After all, he was born as an old devil and had experienced countless battles. How could he be so careless? With hundreds of people surrounded by thousands of troops, he naturally had to be cautious. Especially tonight, he didn't dare to be careless, so he sprinkled the city with kerosene early, waiting for someone to attack him in a sneak attack. Now it's natural to catch up at once.
The violent flames produced by the oil were extremely powerful, and the people on the castle were condescending to pour oil on it. Those men in black who were slow to react and weak in strength were burned into burning men in an instant, screaming in agony. Turned into ashes. Those strong people quickly jumped off the city wall. However, although they escaped the attack of the fire, their targets were completely exposed. They were under the bare walls, illuminated by firelight. It simply became a living target.
The so-called castle is nothing more than two parts. In the middle is a tall and strong stone fortress, which is the main place for people to live. It is surrounded by a defensive wall. Depending on the size of the castle, the walls and bastions vary slightly.
This castle is obviously large enough to station a thousand people, so the walls are more than ten meters high, and the central fortress is even taller and larger. It is several times higher than the city wall. There are many small windows on it for shooting defense. But now, those windows were all occupied by Lao Xie's people, and bursts of arrows rained down from them. The power is much higher than the flat shot.
Since Lao Xie had already asked people to remove all the shields in the castle in advance, the men in black who came in were completely exposed to the rain of arrows without any protection at all. As a result, they suffered heavy casualties from the rain of arrows. Many people were shot into hedgehogs on the spot, and countless others were shot and injured.
The mercenaries obtained by the Hercules family this time are quite good. Even though they are not good at melee combat, they can still shoot arrows. What's more, there are some masters brought by Constantine among them. The arrows they shoot are all accompanied by fighting spirit. They are so powerful that they can often kill the fighting spirit masters among the men in black.
Under the double blow of the wall of fire and the rain of arrows, almost half of the hundreds of men in black who came in were killed in one encounter. The remaining ones were somewhat injured. The current situation is obviously extremely unfavorable to the men in black, but now the city is full of fire, and the city gate is stuck tightly, and it cannot be opened in an instant. In this case, they had no way to escape. The only thing they could do was to charge against the strong castle like a hero. At least he died like a man!
In fact. This was indeed their final destination, and half of them fell down on the way to the charge. Although the gate of the castle is large and open, it is guarded by Sven, the God of Death. Trying to rush in is basically a delusion. Sven just casually launched a few fighting spirit slashes to block the opponent's attack. Those people all died in the hail of arrows fired from overhead. The entire battle lasted only a few minutes, and hundreds of men in black died under this insidious trap. If we didn't take advantage of the terrain and wanted to kill them, I don't know how many people would have to pay. It can be seen from this that ambush means taking advantage!
Just when the men in black were destroyed, Stoker, who was watching the battle outside, was frightened. Under the fire at the top of the city, he could clearly see the rain of arrows falling on the castle, and he could also clearly hear the "attendance" of his soldiers before they died. When all the sounds disappeared, he knew clearly in his heart that all his soldiers must be dead.
"Damn it!" After Stoker saw it, he couldn't help but cursed bitterly: "Damn bastard, he is so cunning!"
Stoke couldn't help but feel distressed, because these men in black were the Dark Bird troops carefully trained by the White Bird Archduke. Each one of them was at least a level 2 grudge fighter, and the leading captain was a level 6 master. In order to build such an army, I don’t know how much effort Grand Duke Shiratori spent, and countless gold coins were thrown at them. However, they also played a huge role. It was precisely because of the existence of Dark Bird that the White Bird Duke had extremely accurate information about the surrounding countries. At the same time, many matters that were inconvenient for the White Bird Duke to come forward were also handled by them.
It can be said that this is the organization that Grand Duke Shiratori values most, and it has always been his most beloved lifeblood. It wasn't until Lan Shite came of age that he was handed over to his management, and even Stork, his younger brother, had no right to use it. If it hadn't been for Lan Shite's recent incident, Darkbird wouldn't have been under Stoke's temporary command.
Stoke, who had originally obtained the command of Dark Bird, was still a little proud and planned to perform well, but unexpectedly, the first time he was dispatched, his entire army was annihilated. After Stoke saw this result, his face almost turned pale with anger. He couldn't help but lamented in his heart, "What happened to my nephew just happened, and I killed the dark bird again. I don't know if my brother will kill him." Got me? No, I want to give up the merit! Otherwise I will be dead! ’
Thinking of this, Stock suddenly woke up. He knew that now, he had no way out. If he couldn't kill the people in the castle, let alone him, his brother and even the entire White Bird Principality would. Finished. So he no longer dared to hesitate, and immediately took out a black cylinder from his arms, and then pulled the rope behind the cylinder hard, and then he saw a shining green magic bullet shoot straight into the sky.
This was the secret code agreed between Stoker and his trusted troops. As soon as the magic bullet was fired, the White Bird Knights, who had been hiding in the surrounding woods, immediately took action.
The so-called White Bird Knights are actually all griffin knights. The entire regiment has a strength of 8,000, of which more than 3,000 are performing tasks in other places. Only 5,000 are left in the capital, all of which were transferred by Stoker.
The griffin knights all know the goal of this mission. Although it is dark, it is not good for the flying griffons. But because the fire on top of the city was so conspicuous, it was almost impossible for the Griffin Knights to fail to find their target. Under the urging of the knights, the well-trained griffins gave up their fear of flames and rushed towards the tall castle with shouts.
Under normal circumstances, once the gryphon knights enter the castle from the air, the outcome of this war is basically certain. After all, there are five thousand people in the family, and they are all well-trained warriors, including some fighting spirit masters. As for Lao Xie, only about 400 people were able to survive, and there were many others who were just scraping by and couldn't bear a single blow from the elite soldiers. In the absence of terrain advantage, 5,000 vs. 400, is there any suspense? Even if Lao Xie is crazy, he thinks he can't beat him. Even if Sven is in his prime, it can only delay the defeat, but it is impossible to change the result. After all, with 5,000 elite warriors, plus 5,000 level three monster griffins, even the Sword Master can't stop them?
Of course, if Hettich joins the battle, the result will be different. After all, he is a legendary mage. He can kill dozens or hundreds of people with any spell, so he naturally doesn't care about the crowd tactics. But Hettich's identity was there, and neither Lao Xie nor herself wanted to be exposed so early.
Faced with such a severe situation, the people in the castle were somewhat nervous. After all, they were sending a well-known legion in the mainland. The strength and status of the White Bird Legion were the same as those of the Champion Knights of the Griffin Kingdom. No one will be afraid to a certain extent.
Listening to the cry of the gryphon getting closer and closer in the distance, Constantine couldn't sit still for the first time, and said to Laoxie slightly nervously: "My dear, it seems that they have dispatched the White Bird Knights. According to reports, As far as I know, there are more than 5,000 of them near the imperial capital. We only have so many people. I’m afraid we can’t stop them.”
