Blood Dragon

Chapter 150 Retaliation

Below the city of Fonoros, it was pitch black.

The little queen's army set up the first line of defense half a league away from the city wall.Standing on the city wall, you can see the faint fire in the camp in the distance.

The enemy showed no signs of attacking.This can be seen from the daytime - the city head has a good view, and you can clearly see the movements in the enemy camp.So far, no one has found signs of siege machinery being built in the camp.As we all know, without a battering ram, without a tortoise shield, without a siege tower, or a ladder, it is completely impossible to attack a city.

Even someone who knows nothing about military affairs can guess that the little queen intends to use siege tactics.

Having said that, the siege tactic itself is also the most effective, least labor-saving and unsolvable method used by the siege side.

Belheim was wearing a leather, simple-looking traveling suit, with a rough leather armor on the outside, and a taupe cloak.Beside him were three followers who were dressed in the same clothes as him.

"What are we waiting for?" Bellheim asked.

"Wait a few people." Essien replied.He was wearing the rusty mail mail he had worn last time, and a black cloak.When he was talking, he kept looking at the camp in the distance, as if he wanted to see some special traces from the darkness.

"Who else is waiting?"

"Wait for someone who can... provide you with identity cover!" Essien replied bluntly. "If I didn't take you with me, I wouldn't have to look for such a troublesome thing."

As if to prove Essien's words, a few minutes later, several figures appeared on this section of the city wall.Although these people were all wrapped in hoods and cloaks, anyone could tell that these were women and children.Belheim caught the smaller figure, under the hood was a child's face, full of fright.

"Essien, what do you want to do?" Bellheim let go of his hand and asked.He didn't know the child, but he could roughly tell his identity from the child's clean face and slightly chubby body.

"Find a suitable reason that can pass the camp smoothly." Essien replied. "With them, there will be a reasonable explanation, at least it will not make others doubt the identity of our team."

Belheim quickly realized Essien's true intentions, or he thought he understood Essien's intentions.The damn mercenary wants to use this opportunity to make some extra money.But Belheim also thinks that Essien's words make sense.

This kind of scum is always doing everything possible to reap benefits!He thought contemptuously in his heart.

The people had arrived, and Essien jumped into the hanging basket prepared at the top of the city, and was slowly lowered down.The stars and the moon are sneaking tonight, which is a good time for stealthy actions.

According to the plan, Essien had to contact that "old friend" first to determine the situation there.

Belheim stood at the head of the city, watching Essien disappear into the darkness.In fact, he kind of hoped that this lowly guy would never return.Essien's body is full of factors he doesn't like: humble background, full of lust and ambition, no respect, arrogant, arrogant and so on.If Byron is in charge of the overall situation in the city now, but Byerheim, he might find a death mission that is most suitable for this kind of scum, and solve this unsightly guy once and for all.

However, the facts seem to illustrate the truth that the scourge lives for thousands of years.Not long after, there was a slight ringing of bells below the city wall.The hanging basket was put down again, and Essien returned to the top of the city.

He looked all right, not even a piece of skin was broken.

"Everything went well, I found that guy." Essien said immediately before Byerheim asked, "Fortunately, he was in charge of patrol today. This means that he can let us leave without any effort."

In this way, they came to the city by relying on the hanging basket.Under cover of darkness, they crossed the moat in a small boat prepared in advance.The whole process was fairly smooth, even those little brats who were in the way were not too much of a drag.Then, they stooped and sneaked in the open space outside the city, trying to approach the enemy's camp as quietly as possible.

The enemy's first line of defense was half a league away.It was a line of defense consisting of simple earthen walls and ditches.A torch provided illumination at intervals along the line of defense, and corresponding sentries were also arranged.This line of defense is actually not difficult, as long as a person with agility (with the help of a little tool) can easily climb over.After passing through this line of defense, the biggest trouble is.Behind is the enemy's strong camp, various fortifications used to defend against frontal attacks, and numerous patrols.

Without Essien's leadership, at least Bayerheim himself would never have taken this risk.

The journey through the darkness is slow and depressing.In order to take care of those children, Essien is not very fast.Everyone knows that this operation is dangerous-all kinds of controllable and uncontrollable accidents will kill the whole team at any time.

They came all the way to the high wall, and when Bellheim was looking at this simple but effective fortification, someone suddenly poked his head out from above.

Belheim was taken aback.His hand was thrown quickly behind him... ostensibly he wore only a sword, but in fact, like all those calculating men, he concealed a special and exquisite pistol on his body.

"Essien, are you here?" the stranger said to Essien.

"Well, where's the ladder?" Essien replied.The calm tone of his speech brought the whole team back from the shock.Obviously, this person is an old friend of Essien, at least he is also a trusted subordinate of the old friend.

"Here." The stranger ignored the team's reaction.Soon, a ladder was lowered.With the help of this tool, the whole team, including the children, successfully climbed over this obstacle.

Bellheim was the last to climb up.He noticed that there were already four or five people waiting for them here.These people are fully armed, but the armor styles are different, and they can be recognized as mercenaries at a glance.

"There are too many people, they must be separated. Only two people can walk at a time." Essien whispered to the leader, then turned to Bayerheim. "The little ones have to wait here and need a car to hide them, but we can go first."

Belheim had absolutely no opinion on this proposal.He just wanted to pass through this camp as soon as possible, as for those children, it was completely out of his consideration.

However, the so-called "lateness makes change", when Essien proposed to be the first to leave, he immediately agreed.

The strange mercenary took the lead, Essien was second, and Belheim was last.It must be said that the guide was really familiar with the road, because they turned and turned all the way, and they didn't even meet a patrol team.

Ahead was an open space in the center of the camp, a bonfire was burning ragingly, but there was a standing figure in front of the bonfire.It seemed that the one who led the way wanted to pass through here, because he had no intention of avoiding that figure at all, but walked directly over there. .

Is it the guy who can't sleep at night and hangs out?Belheim lowered his head, looked at the ground in front of him, and tried his best not to be conspicuous.

The person in front stopped suddenly.Bailheim could barely hold his feet.He raised his head instinctively, and saw that he had come before the person who was standing by the campfire in a daze.

The stranger looked fairly young, wearing armor (which was normal in a barracks) and no helmet, with black hair and eyes of the same color.There was a scar right down the middle of the bridge of his nose from some kind of sharp object.The stranger smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Hmm..." Belheim realized in an instant that Essien had retreated to the side, and so had the mercenary leading the way.These three people just formed a triangle, surrounding him in the center.Even a fool would know something was wrong.

"Viscount Belheim?" said the man with the scar on the bridge of his nose. "Nice to meet you. To be honest, it's really regrettable that you didn't give me a meeting plan when you visited Falcon City last time. Fortunately, I can make up for this regret today." Looking at Belheim slightly With a frightened face, the stranger's smile deepened. "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ashrufat, and I'm a newly-canonized earl. You must have heard of me. I have many questions to ask you, and there are many places that need you, trust you won't let me down."

"What..." Byerheim's shock at this moment was truly indescribable.what happened?How did it become like this?He turned to look at Essien, who had a smile on his face.

"I am very grateful." Essien said, but the joy on his face was not fake. "With your help, Lord Belheim, I finally got the chance to be promoted."

"Essien...I treat you well..."

"Master Belheim, your level of speaking really puts me at a disadvantage." Essien replied. "How can you tell such a lie in person without changing your face or beating your heart. At this level, even that guy Cleo will be willing to bow down!" He reached out and took out a bag from his waist——that is It was the heavy purse that Bailheim had given him before, and it contained hundreds of golden oligos. "Your 'not thin' can be taken back at any time. What do you think I am? A beggar on the street?"

"Damn it..." Bayerheim turned his head and reached for his gun desperately, but Essien moved a little faster.With one swing of his arm, the heavy money bag hit Belheim on the head, causing the latter to fall over and stop moving on the spot.

There was a sound of fine footsteps, and several people present saw a little girl in armor appearing beside her.Everyone, including Ashurfat, took the initiative to salute.

"Your Majesty," Essien greeted.

"I saw it." The little girl looked at Essien, and then at Belheim who had fainted. "Essien, you have done so much for me, what do you want?"

"It's the same as I said last time, Your Majesty," Essien said with his head bowed. "I just wish for an opportunity to serve you."

The little girl opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end. "I can make you a general, but I don't have any extra troops for you." She finally said

"You just need to give me five hundred soldiers." Essien replied.

The little girl turned her gaze to Aishuruffat, saw approval in his eyes, and then turned her head. "That's all right. If... Essien, if you can do what you said... well," she gestured with her hand. "From all those territories, you can choose a piece of land you like at will as your fief!"
