Chapter 364 Slughoff in the shadows

At around [-] o'clock in the middle of the night, the soldiers of the Slughof Fortress saw the signal in the direction of Kasi Village, and immediately the alarm sounded throughout the fortress, and the city immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

"How long has it been since the rescue letter left?" Petlev kept watching with his eagle glasses on the wall of the fortress. It had been five hours since the signal appeared, but he still couldn't see any of the outpost members returning, which made him very nervous. Anxious, who is the enemy?how many?He didn't know what the purpose was. There are dozens of villages around the Slughof Fortress, but only Kasi Village sent out a signal, which made Petlev very confused. Did the other villages not find the enemy or didn't even have time to send a signal? Was wiped out?

"My lord, it has been six hours now. Zuoshenk's envoy should have arrived, and it will take about two hours for the Ostrosk fortress." Petlev's deputy said patiently beside him. It was the third time he was asked. He knew that what Petlev was worried about now was not how strong the enemy was, but the supply problem!Whether it was the consumption of artillery ammunition or the tens of thousands of mouths, Slughoff couldn't satisfy.

Petlev nodded after listening, frowning and handed the eagle glasses to his deputy, "I'll go and see what else I can eat."

"Toot~~!" A low-pitched horn sound suddenly came from a distance. The sound of the horn was long and low, and the sound lasted for several minutes.

"Toot~~!" When the second part of the horn sounded, Petlev, who was stunned on the spot, realized, "Ready to fight! Ready to fight!! Quick! Quick! Quick!!" Following Petlev's order, the whole The fort began to turn.

Boxes of shells were opened and placed at the base of the wall, trebuchets were pulled away by people, the boiling kerosene that had been prepared was pulled directly from the inner city wall to the city wall, and huge rough logs were hoisted on the wall. As if it had been rehearsed countless times, the movements were swift and orderly.

Petlev ran all the way down from the sentry tower with his adjutant, and kept urging the soldiers to strengthen the city gate again before walking up to the city wall.

Walking to the top of the city gate, Petlev picked up his eagle glasses and began to observe the enemy. After seeing the enemy, he took a breath of cold air, which made him shiver uncontrollably.

War Mammoth!The largest monster unit on land, a creature that the entire continent once thought to be completely extinct, unexpectedly appeared on the horizon at this moment!Petlev stared dumbfounded at the creature that looked like a small city wall slowly and steadily moving towards him, and the soldier holding a spear on the elephant excitedly waved the spear in his hand, jumping and jumping.

"Reinforce the city gate! Pile up all the things that can be piled up for me!!" The first thing Petlev thought of was the relatively fragile city gate. They didn't have the technology of dwarves to make a pure metal city gate.

"Roar!" Just as Petlev was commanding the soldiers in the city, countless chaotic roars pulled Petlev's sight back again.

After the war mammoth completely exposed its entire body, a large number of huge figures also appeared in the sky, but compared to the size of the war mammoth, it was unknown how much smaller.

Manticore!These lion-like poisonous behemoths changed their movements recklessly in the air, roaring at the city wall non-stop. If it weren't for someone still restraining them, they might have rushed to the city wall by now.

With the movement of the enemy's army, thick fog appeared under the feet of the war mammoth. The fog was very thick but could not reflect the size of the mammoth. In this fog, the howling of wolves was heard from time to time, sharp and ear-piercing. It's hard to hear.

Petlev and his adjutant looked at each other involuntarily, then quickly took out the communication crystal and contacted the court immediately.

"Lord Petlev, His Majesty the King is discussing important matters with the ministers." On the other side of the communication crystal was a gorgeously dressed male official with two moustaches, and he spoke in a strange way.

"My lord herald! Look! We are under attack! Mammoth! War mammoth! There is also fog!! That's a swamp monster warrior (similar to a crocodile)! We ask for support! Please send support from His Majesty the King!!" Petlev Anxiously pointing the crystal to the outside of the city, unfortunately, the range of the crystal image is only a few hundred meters. For the enemy troops who have just stepped out of the horizon, the image is really blurry, and there is still thick fog. After seeing it, the herald raised his eyebrows He said indifferently, "I will pass on the message, but I think you should contact Prince Holden first, don't you?" After speaking, he directly closed the crystal.

Petlev was angry, wronged, unwilling, and helpless. After thinking for a while, he immediately contacted Holden again.

"Oh, my dear Lord Petrov, do you need help with anything? Just ask." Holden's tone made Petrov at a loss, but now that the war was imminent, he was lost for a second and immediately said:
"His Royal Highness! Look! Enemies! Countless enemies! We need support! We need help!" Petlev said in a pleading tone.

"What? They are really here?! Petlev! My good brother, you must stick to it!! Tell me what you want?! I will send someone to support you immediately!" Holden responded with a serious face .

"I... Food! Wine! Soldiers! Ammunition! I want as much as I have!" Petlev said a little nervously.

"Okay! I'll give you whatever you want! But there is one thing! You must defend the Slughof Fortress for me!! Can you do it?!" Holden moved his face closer to him.

"Yes! I promise! People are in the city!!" Although Petlev felt a little strange about Holden's enthusiasm, he didn't have time to think about it now, and he was slightly relieved by this long-lost trust.

"My supplies and troops arrived as quickly as possible! But this requires the cooperation of the Berserk Knights! Otherwise, I'm not sure that these things can enter the city smoothly!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness! Faced with this situation, Ann... we have special countermeasures!"

"Then I will wait for your good news! Long live Kislev!"

"Long live Kislev!"

After Holden closed the crystal, his passionate face immediately turned cold. At the moment, in the hall where he was sitting, there were only him and another man in ragged clothes with a crow on his shoulder.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, you are one step closer to completely controlling the entire northern province. As long as Peterlev and his old minions are all...you are undoubtedly the overlord of the North. As long as you contact Mutu again, your Highness will soon get you His Majesty’s attention, and with the strong combat effectiveness of the northern army, even if His Majesty does not..."

"Hush! Just know it in your heart, it's better not to say this." Although Holden stopped the old man's words, the flush on his face showed his excitement and excitement at the moment. "Are you sure that the trolls and the Norse people will evacuate after they capture Slughof Fortress?"

"Yes, Your Highness! This is what we have discussed with them before, as evidenced by the contract, as long as they are allowed to plunder the Slughof Fortress and vent a bit, then they will obediently retreat to Frost Forest." After finishing speaking, the old man took out the contract he had prepared and handed it to Holden respectfully with both hands.

Holden took a look and nodded, "Back when Andre let his father sit on the throne, many more people died than this time, so let's implement it according to the plan..."
