City of Sin: Twenty-seven raids
Richard spread out the map on the table, pointed to a small town on the map, and said, "This is the town of Jovan, and this is the target we want to capture this time."
Unlike Osfa, the town of Jovan is much larger and more prosperous. It is the connection point between many villages in the mountain area and Baron castle. The wood, minerals, animal skins and other special products in the mountain area must pass through Jovan. At the same time, adventurers who are planning to enter the forest area will also choose Jovan instead of Osfa as a supply place .
With more than 500 households and more than 2,000 people, Jovan has a large number of shops, and adventurers can find various supplies here, from blacksmith shops to alchemy workshops. The only important building that is not available here is temple. The God of Courage only built a temple in the city of Barony, which is a magnificent building, and is also a testament to the piety of the Buddha Baron.
The construction and maintenance costs of temple match its grand scale, so even Fossa cannot support the construction of a second temple in the territory.
The town of Jovan is the territory of Sir Gregory. Jazz built a large estate outside the town where he usually lives. Near the manor is the Knight's Camp of the Jazz. More than thirty elite private soldiers belonging to Gaoyue are usually stationed in the Knight's Camp. But now, the knight battalion is empty, and only a few young servants live in it. All the elite Warrior have gone to the Foreign Plane invaders with Sir Gregory, and will never return.
So in the past few days, Sir Goyo ’s manor has been full of people in panic and unprecedented dense guards. These guards have only received superficial training, not even the regular Warrior, but now that the elite forces of Jovan have been swept away, they have to call them out of the field and temporarily top the guard position.
The broken soldiers who escaped a few days ago have brought back the news of the defeat. The bad news is like a fire in the dry season of the grassland, and the entire Barony was burnt in an instant. Lian Mintai and Hu Earl were both killed on the spot, so it was obvious that Sir Jorge, who had set off as the vanguard, was more and more fierce.
No one knows when the Demon of Foreign Plane will appear, so some of the relatives in the manor's side who are next to the high-ranking Jazz have begun to pack their bags and are ready to escape. Their actions exacerbated the panic. But most people are calm and not in a hurry to escape. It is not far from the city of Fossa Barony, Baron also has a strong army, and the **** of courage temple will not sit back and watch the actions of the invaders. And behind Fossa Baron, there is also Galleon Earl, one of the Earl of the Principality.
So in panic and restlessness, the people of Jovan Town ushered in another night.
The town of Jovan is more than forty kilometers away from the mountains. Due to frequent adventurers and mercenaries, and resisting the Demon Beast beast tide that occasionally rushed out of the mountain forest, Jovan built the city wall There are also high defensive walls and arrow tower around the main building of the manor.
As soon as the night came, a smart figure appeared outside the town of Jovan. He walked around the town silently and then entered the wall. He walked around the town like a ghost again, and went over the wall again. The three-meter-high wall in the town was not an obstacle for him at all. A moment later, he appeared again in Gaoyue's manor, where he also wandered around to observe the terrain and defensive strength. He perfectly used the cover of the night, and the fresh rookies in arrow tower didn't find him at all. After checking all the important places, he quietly left again by night.
An hour later, a small team appeared quietly outside the town of Jovan. Richard looks far away, and through the night, you can see the outline of Jovan town faintly. He waited patiently. After a while, the elf Olar emerged from the night and said softly: "Master, there are about 50 militiamen in the town of Jovan, and their arms and strength are very poor. But the trouble is that there are now in the town Many adventurers and a small group of mercenaries. There are about 50 people in total. Their individual strength is much stronger than the militia. I feel that there are several guys with Level 6 and above who dare not approach the reconnaissance. There are many people defending the Gaoyue Manor, but their strength is not strong enough. They are all militiamen. However, the Knights ’Camp of the Gaoyue is not far from the manor, and there are about 30 servants, and the same number of chores. They can all be armed and become a force. "
"What about horses?" This is the main concern of Richard.
"War horses are mainly concentrated in the manor and the knight camp. There are about forty High Grade horses, half of which are in each."
Richard is very satisfied with the information. He took out the map and finally confirmed it. He turned back and said, "They have a good road, give them some weapons!"
Medium Rare took off the bundled weapons and shields from his back and distributed them to the five captive Warriors. Everyone got a steel knife and a small round wooden shield.
The five Warrior were originally civilians. Their loyalty to the lord is limited. In the face of real death threats, they can only choose to survive. Under the guidance of the captives familiar with the terrain, Richard was able to penetrate the Barony hinterland silently and appeared outside the town of Jovan.
Richard brought three Infantry Knight this time, and their equipment is all shields and axe. The remaining four Infantry Knights remained in the base guarding the captives who refused to surrender. Everyone else followed Richard.
"Go to the high manor first!"
With the orders of Richard, this team again rushed to the high manor under the cover of darkness. Between one by one's disparity in size, there are three silhouetted beasts of terror.
The door of Gaoyue Manor is closed, and several burning torches illuminate a small area in front of the door. There was an archer in each of the two outposts behind the gate. At this moment, he was hiding behind the outpost, and occasionally glanced into the darkness. Although it is early summer now, but the style outside tonight is cool, the wind is very strong on the high sentry tower, which makes the two sentries have a very hard time.
A sentinel was curled up in a ball, and the old leather armor was as cold as a steel plate soaked in water. He cursed a few words of the weather in a low voice, and just wanted to be active, suddenly a very subtle voice was heard in his ears. The sentry immediately became alert and stood up suddenly. The probe looked out of the wall. As a result, Richard jumped into the sentry tower like a ghost, covered his mouth with one hand, and rubbed his back with a dagger. The sentry struggled and twitched for a long time before slowly moving. In another sentry tower, the elf Olar was like a shadow, putting a post on the back of the sentry, and the sentry fell immediately and softly.
Seeing that Olar solved the guard of another sentry tower, Richard cast a zero-level magic flame hand. In the deep night, this ray of fire was particularly eye-catching. So the figure of one by one full of murderous aura rushed out of the darkness and rushed to the manor. While seeing the firelight, the elf Olar jumped into the manor from the sentry tower. The Shepherd of Eternal Rest with water splash cut the chain on the manor's gate with a few knives, and then the capacity slowly opened the heavy gate.
As soon as the gate of the manor opened, it was discovered by the patrol inside, so the whistle and roar of the warning interweave with bell sound, and the whole manor boiled in an instant!
