Lord Helanza

Drink a little ale on such a cold snowy night, and ate some meat sausages and smoked fish that entertained alcoholics in the pub. I felt that apart from the lack of variety of food here, Everything else is fine, and ordering is more free, free from the complicated constraints of high-end restaurants.

The taste is very delicious against the ale.

In the pub, in order to match the ale, many dishes are salty, which is like some salted nuts, which tastes crispy and flavorful.

The arrival of Surdak and Aphrodite restored some vitality to the originally quiet tavern. Several drunk alcoholics looked at Aphrodite's back with straight eyes.

There are no wine sellers in this pub. The alcoholic people at that table gathered together and whispered a few words. Among them, two brawny in hard leather armor were holding large ale glasses. He walked over slowly and sat silently on the seat beside Aphrodite.

The man grabbed a big wine glass on the bar, and did not come over to chat with Aphrodite. He just asked the bartender to fill up the ale in their glass, and the amber liquor flowed from the corners of his mouth. Down, the man wiped his beard with his sleeve.

"Do you know?" One of them spoke loudly, "Last winter, almost at this time, I saw a band of bandits of more than 100 people in the mountains and they were trying to climb over In the middle section of Makuri Mountain, Guro and I were only a few meters away from them at the time. We were worried about being discovered by them. We hid our bodies in the snow pit and hid silently for most of the day. When they were far away, we both Lying in the snow pit, my hands and feet were so cold that I couldn't help."

Just talking loudly about the dangerous experiences that happened to them, as if only in this way can they show how brave they are.

From their words, the two brawny seem to be hunters. They look for some exotic pets for employers, and occasionally hunt the primary level demonic beast, but they seem to be in the tower. The demonic beasts are almost extinct in these mountains and forests in central Lapagan.

If you want to hunt the demonic beast, you must go to the mountain range of Paglos.

Aphrodite lowered his head and took a sip of ale slowly, only to recover a trace of blood on his face.

It seems that the summon array is frequently turned on this time, which is very burdensome to her body. The charm of Demon General’s long hair is tied high, covering the two corners of the head, and it looks like one A glamorous beauty, she did not wear the mithril mask of the faceless, with a lightly smile on her delicate face, she was listening to the conversation between the two brawny beside her.

Surdak lowered his head and ate the smoked fish. He glanced at the alcoholics around him. Some of them might be drunk. They opened their thick cotton-padded coats, revealing their chests full of hair.

"Are you two staying? I have a room for relaxation." The bartender asked Brawny.

"A lot of money..."

Before brawny was finished, a loud bang suddenly came from outside the tavern.

Surdak has been in the guard camp for so long, especially when he participated in the war of the Vojmara city. Naturally, he is not unfamiliar with this sound. This is the explosion after the detonation of a large fire-scale bomb. Sound, at the beginning of Wal-Mart’s city, almost every day hundreds of fire-scale bombs were thrown into the city by trebuchets and exploded among the hell dogs.

Surdak woke up suddenly from his contemplation. This is the hinterland of Pena Province. If there are occasional bands of robbers haunting the surrounding mountains, this may not be surprising, but It is said that someone detonated a fireball on the city wall, besides the fireball self-destruct, would anyone use it deliberately?

Just when he hesitated, one after another in the distance made a crackling sound of fiery bombs.

Surdak stood up suddenly from the bar, threw two Silver Coins on the bar, moved towards the entrance of the tavern and walked quickly, Aphrodite followed closely from behind.

A group of drinkers in the tavern also heard the explosion and were astonished at it. Seeing someone walking out of the tavern, they were also going to follow it out to see what was going on outside.

Surdak stood on the street and just saw a series of fires flashing through the northwest corner of Constantinople, followed by a series of explosions.

Then the big bell on the bell tower in the city was ringed, and the bell sounded and never stopped.

The drinkers in the tavern first walked to the street, and everyone looked into the distance in panic.

Then some of the surrounding citizens ran out of the house wearing overcoats. Some people only wore fur coats. Some even wore pajamas. Many people were full of horror. Some people continuously asked other people around: "...What happened?"

Everyone moved towards the square where the clock tower is located, no one knows what happened, but the clock tower in the city kept ringing alarm bells to inform all citizens that something big happened People woke up from their dreams and ran out of the house before they could get dressed. The streets seemed a little chaotic.

A group of Knights passed by the long street in a hurry, and the direction was just where the explosion sounded.

In the chaos, some people ran against the current to the city. Some people asked those who came back: "What happened?"

The people who ran into the city looked panicked. He said: "There is a war. There is an army outside the city. Now it has attacked the city wall and fought with the city's defense guards."

"Where did the group of enemies come from?" Someone in the crowd asked again. road.

"I don't know!" The man running into the city said in a panic. He wanted to continue running inside, but was stopped by a group of people and couldn't get out anyway.

Someone in the crowd asked again: "Alien or human?"

"It seems to be a hillbilly from the northern region of Tarapagan!" The person's voice was a little hoarse, and his voice trembled.

At this time, there was a rumble shouting to kill from the city gate.

The city is in chaos. From time to time, a cavalry team passes through the street, and the citizens of the city evade to both sides of the road...

This night, it is destined to be less peaceful.

……

Surdak didn't expect that he rushed to Constantinople by himself and would encounter such an incident.

He was actually very curious. He wanted to see what happened near the city wall, so he kept moving towards the northwest corner of Constantinople in the crowd. This city was better than he thought. It’s much bigger. I usually travel around in a magic caravan during the day. No matter where the destination is, the carriage will arrive very quickly, so the feeling is not so accurate.

But now the city is in chaos, and there is no magic caravan at all. He wants to go to the northwest corner of the city and can only rely on his feet to walk through the streets of the city.

The succubus Aphrodite followed behind him, she withdrew into the shadow, her body gradually faded and fuse together with the shadow, blurred like a shadow.

"What shall we do? Should we leave here as soon as possible?" The succubus felt that he should not be involved in this battle in Constantinople. Since the full-covered armor has been bought, he should leave as soon as possible. That's right.

"Look at the situation first." Surdak replied.

The more you go forward, the more people crowded together on the street, and then a section of the road, the street is crowded with infantry from the city’s defense reserve, these defensive teams The infantrymen of China lined up neatly with weapons in their hands and shields on their backs. It seemed that there were too many people crowded to move forward.

There was even a group of cavalry from the guard battalion crowded on the street, because they carefully controlled the horses under the crotch and tried to avoid stamping.

Surdak secretly praised in his heart: Constantinople’s garrison reacted really quickly. The defense forces were assembled so quickly and rushed to the city wall.

In this way, even if someone sieges the city and wants to take Constantinople in a short time, it is absolutely impossible.

Seeing that the street was too crowded and couldn’t squeeze for a while, he climbed onto a high roof and looked towards the city wall in the northwest corner, except for a few bursts. In addition to the yelling and killing, there was a faint fire, and it seemed that the battle was going on all the time.

Looking at the chaotic streets and lanes, I vaguely smelled a conspiracy.

He jumped off the roof and said to Aphrodite who was hiding in the corner of the alley: "I always feel that this is not like an attack on the city. Those people seem to be deliberately creating chaos in the Western District... …If you were the bandit leader, what would you be looking at in Constantinople?"

Aphrodite said without hesitation: "In addition to the Gold Coins in the vaults of various manors, of course there are The materials here, after all, Constantinople is the most famous transit place for materials in Pena Province!"

She turned into a ball of illusory shadow, and her voice seemed a little illusory.

Surdak set his sights on the Trading Company not far from the southern gate of the city, and said to Aphrodite: "Do you think they will rob the Trading Company in Constantinople?"

Aphrodite shook the head and said, "It's easy to sneak in by the chaos, but it's not easy for them to rob the Trading Company at this time. The guard camp in the city will not let them at This time is chaotic. Rather than venturing into the city and looting the Trading Company, it’s better to looting the fire-scale bomb production workshop by the Crescent Lake outside the city!"

Surdak's eyes lit up and said, "You mean They are likely to create chaos in the Western District, just to attract the city’s defense forces, and then let a large number of robbers looting the firearms workshop outside the city?"

Even the firearms workshop. When sending out a distress signal, because of the chaos in the city, neither the guard camp nor the city's defensive equipment has time to dispatch people out of the city to help.

"Perhaps, since the Western District can't get through, should we go see the firearm workshop by the lake?" Surdak said. "I don't want to have any problems over there. After all, our sulphur mines have to be sold here."

The city of Constantinople is still in chaos, except for the explosion in the northern corner of the Western District. Only the bell tower was not frequently sounded, causing a large number of citizens to rush out of their homes and gathered towards the bell tower square.

Surdak and Aphrodite came to the south gate of the city. A large number of city defense troops gathered on the south city gate. The gate was closed, and the suspension bridge outside the gate was also raised high, making it impossible to get out of the city. Just in Surdak hesitated, whether to go back to the hotel to sleep, a group of cavalry rushed from the street inside the city to the city gate, the head of Knight happened to be the Jude Great Captain of Constantinople.

He brought a team of Knights to the city gate, took out a token from his arms and threw it to the Captain of the city guard, then said loudly: "The third battallion of the guard camp is ordered out of the city, please Hit open the city gates and let it go!"

"Yes! Wait a minute." The city guard said, carefully checking the token in his hand, and it didn't take long for someone to call open the city ​​gates and put down the suspension bridge.

Jude Great Captain, who was waiting at the side of the city gate, swept all around at will, his gaze fell on a person on the side of the city gate.

"Surdak Baron, why are you here?" Jude Great Captain looked at Surdak somewhat surprised and asked him.

Aphrodite was hiding in the dark, again at night, no one noticed her.

Jude Great Captain looked a little excited when he saw Surdak.

Surdak didn’t expect to see this Jude Great Captain again at the city gate, and said, “I happened to buy a batch of armor in the Constantinople Trading Company. Drank in the city and ran out to see the explosion sounded outside the city."

"There was a robber in the Western District who tried to climb over the city wall and sneaked into Constantinople and was spotted by the city defense team. , The two sides fought on the city wall, and accidentally detonated the fire bombs stored in the warehouse of the city head. This raid will shock the whole city.” Jude Great Captain said, and then asked Surdak: “ What do you think of the robber group attacking the city..."

"If it were me, I would look at the firearms workshop in Crescent Bay!" Surdak casually said, "The siege...should be impossible. !"

"I think so too, Surdak Baron, if you are interested in verifying your guess, do you want to go to Crescent Lake with me to take a look." Jude Great Captain took the horse by the reins. Said to Shurdak.

"I can't ask for it." Surdak really wanted to take a look.

At this time, the city gate was opened by the guards, and the suspension bridge connecting the outside of the city fell amidst the harsh sound of wheel shaft rotation. Jude Great Captain waved his hand and led the battallion to rush outside the city.

A Knight under Jude Great Captain gave up a horse to Surdak. Surdak was not welcome, and stepped on the horse. Following Jude Great Captain’s team moved towards the firearms on the shore of Lake Crescent Fang rushed.

Surdak can only leave Aphrodite in the city, she might take the opportunity to return to the hotel.

The road at night is difficult to walk, Surdak is average equestrian, and at the same time not very familiar with the road, can only follow the team.

Walking down the road opened by the Red Rock, the Knight of the Guard Camp was still halfway, and he saw a fire on the shore of Lake Crescent Lake. Jude Great Captain did not dare to delay anything. Immediately let the cavalrymen speed up their marching speed and rush towards the firearm workshop.

Immediately afterwards, there was another rumbling explosion in the direction of the firearms workshop.

Surdak was more sure of his previous judgment and urged the horse to move towards Yueya Lake.

Before reaching Crescent Lake, the Knights of the guard camp came under the red rock and suffered an arrow rain.

These rain of arrows were shot from the side of the forest. Obviously these people had planned for a long time...
