Alien Knights

The explosion of gunpowder resounded over the entire city, and the flames and flashes illuminated the night like day.

In front of the main gate of the Muxi Knights, there were fallen corpses everywhere, most of them were soldiers of the Knights, and a small number of the dead were the attackers.

More than thirty surviving knight soldiers hid behind the main gate, blocked the entrance with tables, chairs and benches, and set up a temporary roadblock.

As the temporary chief of this group of survivors, Ennis, the deputy captain of the Third Heavy Infantry Regiment of the Muxi Knights, a man who looks young but has participated in dozens of battles in Muxi City, is a veritable man. Senior commander.

Hold the gate!

Wearing a makeshift armor, Ennis half-kneeled behind the barricade made of tables and chairs, wiped the blood on his face, looked at the crowds of enemy soldiers in the darkness outside the door, and shouted behind him: Reinforcement soldiers! What?! Where are the damn reinforcements?!

A soldier covered in dust, wearing single clothes and holding a shield snatched from the enemy, cried out mournfully: The armory, the gate and the stables have all been captured by the enemy. We have no weapons or armor. There are many The brothers were killed before they even came out of the camp!

Ennis was so angry that he could only hear him roar, Traitors! A group of traitors! This must be a premeditated mutiny!

Before the words fell, a burst of musket gunfire rang out in the dark enemy formation.

A lead bullet with strong kinetic energy penetrated the wooden boards of tables and chairs with low defenses, and swept the remaining soldiers behind the barricade.

Accompanied by blood splashes, screams continued to resound among the soldiers.

Seeing the tragic deaths of his subordinates one after another, Ennis' eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his fists tightly, struggling to rush forward.

A sharp pain suddenly came from his back.

Ennis gasped, staggered and fell to the ground, a sharp dagger was stabbed deep into his back, and blood slowly flowed down his spine onto the ground.

Exhausting his last strength, Ennis turned his head and looked behind him, a panicked familiar face appeared in his sight.

Sorry...sorry, sir, I have a whole family...

Ennis fell to the ground, all the voices became farther and farther away, he slowly closed his eyes, and said the last sentence unwillingly.

A group of... bastards...

Standing on the clock tower of Muxi City, Rutledge, the patriarch of the Dawson family, looked at the scene in the city with a telescope.

The citizens in the city were overwhelmed by the sudden battle. The bustling market, the busy port, and the happy commercial street suddenly became a mess. People ran back to their homes crying and howling. Lock the door tightly, leaving only a gap in the window, peeping out.

While Rutledge was observing the situation in the city, a panting noble messenger climbed up the tower, walked behind the former, and whispered: Lord Dawson, the city security team and the barracks of the Muxi Knights have basically The battle is over.

How is it going?

In the security team, before the battle started, we bought off all the officers on duty tonight, and used the excuse of the banquet to control the chief and deputy chief officers of the security team in advance. Therefore, the entire occupation process was relatively smooth.

As for the barracks of the Muxi Knights, it took a lot of effort. The sentries of the Knights strictly abide by the military orders and are well-trained. It took a lot of effort for our internal officers to control the gate of the barracks. The armory is a big one. Trouble, there are three checkpoints at the gate there. Even though we tried many ways, we still couldn't bribe the chief of the last checkpoint, so we had to resort to a strong attack...

Rutledge put away the binoculars, stared at the person behind him, and said coldly: Idiot! There is no one in this world that money cannot buy. If there is, it just means that the price you paid is not high enough!

The messenger hurriedly lowered his head, saying yes again and again.

If you had done things more reliably, you wouldn't have made such a big commotion! Now that the whole city knows about our actions, those cabinet members must have already started preparing for their escape!

Rutledge, who was still angry, shook his head and said: There are also the Royal Navy and the North Island Knights. How about those two barracks?

The messenger swallowed: We have already controlled the plank road and the barracks in the Royal Navy. Now the warships in the port are engaged in fierce boarding battles. I believe that we will be able to control all the ships in a short time.

The North Island Knights are not going well...

Rutledge's eyes widened: What do you mean by not going well?

In the North Island Knights, excluding those who returned home and accompanied the ship, there were only about two hundred people left in the entire camp. At first, we thought that these barbarians who only knew how to drink and fight had no skills at all, so we sent There are not many people. But...

When the messenger said this, a look of fear flashed in his eyes: The pirates of the North Island are simply a group of monsters. They don't wear armor, and they won't fall down when they are shot by arrows. They kill people as casually as drinking water and eating. …Especially their deputy captain, that giant named Jerry Jerry, who swung that ax the size of a wheel and could easily crush the strongest giant shield…”

Shut up!

Rutledge heard the messenger's words getting more and more outrageous, and angrily stopped the other party: I don't care what method you use, whether you buy it or attack it by force, in short, you must capture the barracks of the North Island Knights!

Watching the messenger leave in a hurry, Rutledge thumped the wall in front of him with his fists, and roared, A bunch of trash!

Master.

The old butler of the Dawson family appeared behind Rutledge and reminded: The mercenary group and pirate group we hired with money are approaching Muxi City, and they need our support.

Rutledge took a deep breath: Tell those stupid silver ring nobles to give me the task assigned in advance to block the road and set up roadblocks. Order the scout ships in the port area and the scouts outside the city , light up the signal lights, and guide the pirates and mercenaries into the city!

Speaking of this, Rutledge thought for a moment, and added: Whether it is pirates or mercenaries, we must send troops to supervise them, and let them clean their hands and feet to ensure that they will not pollute the city. !

The old butler nodded, made a gesture of a knife towards Rutledge, and said in a low voice, As for the Minister of the Interior of Bai Ansi and that Guy VII of the Silver Ring Kingdom, do you want to deal with it now?

Rutledge thought for a while, then shook his head and said, Now is not the time. If I want to control Muxi City, I still need the help of those silver ring nobles.

The old housekeeper nodded in agreement, and then left the tower.

Turning his head, looking at the flames in Muxi City, Rutledge grabbed the railing in front of him, his face was surprisingly calm, and with a smile on his lips, he whispered: Come on, let the flames and fear be more intense. ...After tonight, this city will no longer belong to the Holy King!
