Working Prophet.

Chapter 629 Natural Disaster Comes
Like all people at important historical junctures, at the beginning, no one realized that their lives would be completely changed today.

Therefore, when the sun rises from the sea level, people living in this harbor start their day as usual.

The first to wake up were the small traders in the city. They went out at dawn and came to their stalls early to start their day's business.

Then there are those dock workers, most of them are landless farmers or people who want to go to the city to beg for a living, living in the area around Stinky Shrimp Street in the north of the city.

There are all densely packed low-rise shanties, like a maze, and foreigners who walk in accidentally can easily get lost in it.

Thanks to the developed maritime trade, there is an endless stream of merchant ships coming and going to the port every day. Whether they come to sell goods or purchase goods, they need to hire these dock workers, so they also support many people.

How many dockers there are has always been an unsolved mystery.

When the Wetin family was still ruling the Newland, they tried to count several times, but they had to give up in the end. These dock workers are highly mobile, and one person often has several jobs.

Sometimes they disappear and come back after a while, or there are many people who disappear suddenly while doing work. Anyway, even the foremen can't tell how many people they have under their hands.

And when the morning sun crossed the huge stone statue of Sea God Claudius outside the port and came over the trident in the right hand of the stone statue, the nobles in the city would only open their eyes from their big soft beds.

After washing up and tidying up, it's almost time for lunch, after which they are either dealing with government affairs, or going out to hunt in the city, or visiting friends...

In short, everyone was busy according to their established life trajectory, until a sloop from the free city of Cyprus first discovered a group of small black spots on the sea level in the distance.

When they first saw those little black spots, they thought it was a flock of birds.

Although flocks of this size are not common, there seems to be nothing but flocks of birds that fly in the sky.

The people on the sloop thought so, but after a while, the watchman on the ship suddenly yelled.

"My God! Gods above, I...what the hell did I see, why are those people able to fly in the sky?!"

After listening to the watchman's words, the person with good eyes looked at the group of suspected birds again.

But this time, because they got closer, more and more people began to see the appearance of those things clearly.

That is indeed a human being, a flying human being!And it looked like a large army, everyone was wearing leather armor and carrying weapons, looking like they were not kind.

The captain of the sloop has been going back and forth between Cypress and Cape Crab, doing shipping business, and even getting to know some nobles of the empire.

Whether it is for his own future money, or simply from an emotional point of view, he is more inclined to side with the Red Lion Empire.

Therefore, seeing an enemy coming, the first thing he thought of was to notify the defenders in the city.

However, those flying birdmen came very quickly, and when the sailors on the ship were still adjusting the sails and preparing to move forward at full speed, those birdmen were only a few hundred steps away from them.

The captain turned pale with fright, hesitating whether to surrender directly or resist a little later, but the birdmen seemed to have never seen them at all, just flew straight over their heads, and rushed towards the place not far away. Seaport.

The people on board felt that the sky darkened for a moment, but luckily they saw the sun again not long after.

If it weren't for a feather falling from the sky, many people would not be able to help but wonder if that scene just now really happened.

After a while, the first mate came to his senses first and asked the captain if he wanted to stop at Crab Point.

The captain's face was very ugly. It was not easy for them to come this time. They had traveled at sea for more than four months. The salary and food supplies during the period were not a small expense.

If you just turn around and go back like this, it will definitely not work, but obviously you can't go back to Crab Corner.

Because there is going to be a big battle there, and the captain is not very optimistic about the nobles in the city.

In the final analysis, being able to fly is really an advantage, and before the fight is started, it is already invincible.

So the captain asked Da Zhan to take out the chart and search for another nearest port. He planned to go there and sell the goods on the ship, then flee and return to the free city.

He had an ominous premonition in his heart, not only the crab horns, but maybe the entire Red Lion Empire would be on fire in a short time.

This magnificent empire established by orcs, humans and dwarves is about to usher in the most terrible disaster.

The sloop can still slip away halfway when the situation is not good, but for most people in the city, they don't have such good luck.

As those Yi people approached, more and more people discovered the vision in the sky.

The pier suddenly fell into chaos, and the crowd began to flee in all directions. The goods were just thrown on the ground, scattered everywhere, and some bold people did not escape, but took advantage of the chaos to pick up things.

Someone notified the news to the guards in the city, and Dusan, the patriarch of the Drummond family, also knew that the Wings were coming.

After the initial shock, Dusan wanted to organize a defense. However, facing the enemies who could fly freely in the air, the tall and solid city walls that the nobles on the Bratis mainland were proud of lost this time. Once it works, it is no different from a sedge sheet.

Dusang had also heard about the burning of the King's Landing Tower in Lionheart Castle earlier. It was said that a group of guards with superb martial arts skills and well-equipped equipment were helpless against a mere enemy.

But this time what he faced was not just a flying enemy, but a group of flying enemies.

As soon as he thought of this, Dusan felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.

What the female lord named Yileiya said was actually true, and those Yi people really came.

And they had no choice but to land from Crab Point.

Dusan had many thoughts in his mind, and even considered whether to run away, but he couldn't let go of the seaport he had just arrived in, and if he really ran, he might not be able to outrun those wings with wings behind him. tribe.

As for the surrender, Dusan never thought about it. Everyone in this city can surrender, but he, as the de facto master of Xinlu, cannot surrender.

If so, then we can only fight.

Dusan gritted his teeth, and said to Baals beside him, "Mobilize all the archers to the castle. The horns of the crab are too big for us to defend, but we can still use the castle to defend against the attacks of those Yi tribesmen."

Bals nodded and left the room in a hurry. Dusan then called a guard and asked him to find a way to gather all the mercenaries in the city who knew how to shoot arrows, including hunters.
