Ride and Cut

Chapter 158 The Calm Before the Storm

The two Persian soldiers suddenly turned at an intersection, turned wildly, and quickly disappeared from sight. Let the savages who are about to do something regret it.

"Want to be a deserter and be caught by the supervisory team?" Li Cha felt that this was the only way to explain why the two groups of Stuarts were hostile to each other, chasing and fleeing.

"Maybe." As the only berserker out of more than a hundred barbarians and the only seedling in a thousand hectares of land, Roselle has been quite active recently. He put up an awning on the brow bone with one hand, looked around the city of Winter, put down his arm and smacked his lips helplessly, "But why are the defenders gone?"

"I don't know." The lord glanced at the Pompeii soldiers who entered the city together. They had already ran a long way along the city wall, and there were not a few good Stuarts who came out to stop them.

He couldn't help suspecting that it might be Seedorf, an old fox, who saw that he couldn't hold on, so he led his subordinates to desert. The lure of the enemy a few days ago was just a smoke screen to facilitate the retreat. The more cautious the Pompeii army was, the less likely it would be to detect their small movements.

The more Li Cha thought about it, the more likely it was that the two groups of Stuart soldiers just now were left behind. One of them didn't want to die, that's why they were chased by the other gang.

"My lord." Dracula walked to his lord, looking at the city with his cloudy eyes: "I can feel it, it's still there."

"Yeah." Of course Li Cha didn't forget the Ring of Sky and Thunder, but now is the most crowded time, and he plans to wait until night to talk about it.

"Hey, these are all fakes." Gunther walked to a dragon hunting crossbow at the base of the wall, and stabbed it with a tomahawk, and the shell made of wooden sticks and straw paper immediately collapsed.

This kind of thing can fool servants from a long distance, but when you get close, you can see its flaws at a glance. But even if it is a fake, the size should be the same as the real one, and you can vaguely see how exaggerated the size of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow is.

The huge base occupies an area larger than a bungalow, and there are no crossbow arms or strings on the main body. There is only a thick and long cylinder, which is more than enough to throw a half-sized child into it.

If it is genuine, it must weigh at least three thousand pounds, and it will be very difficult to maneuver. If you want to use this thing to deal with giant dragons, you have to work hard on how to attract the giant dragons to approach - for example, defending the city is very suitable.

The news that Winter City had become an empty shell was sent back to the base by the soldiers. At first they thought it was the defenders who were plotting, but it was hard to fake the fact that there were no people in the whole city.

The engineers built a simple lever to remove the stones stuffed in the door opening, and the city gate was opened from the inside.

Although the victory came a bit inexplicably, after all, after a month of hard work, it is still worth celebrating. So the Pompeii Expeditionary Army still organized a city entry ceremony, lined up in a neat line, and entered this important town of the enemy country.

When entering the city, Suffolk looked at Li Cha with an extremely complicated expression - someone lost half of the legion and failed to make any meritorious service. There are people who haven't fought a copper battle, and everything will be fine if they walk over. The strong contrast made him so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

The lord smiled very modestly, this kind of modesty stopped abruptly when he saw Higuain.

"What are you looking at! I'll pick out your eyeballs!" Li Cha had a smile on his face, but his mouth was not forgiving at all. He kept his voice very low, except for Higuain who could hear it, others would not pay attention at all. However, General Pinto, the commander-in-chief, happened to be not far away. Higuain didn't have the guts to be presumptuous, and his face was flushed from being suppressed.

After the army entered the city, they remained vigilant for quite a while. It was not until they searched the whole city repeatedly and found not many enemies that they finally confirmed that Winter City had completely fallen into their own hands.

In full view, General Pinto personally removed the emblems hanging from the City Hall and the Noble Court, which represented the end of the Stuart Kingdom's rule. In order to convey the good news back to the country with the most solemn gesture, Dragon Knight Zed took the initiative to act as a volunteer and immediately set off to fly to the capital with two emblems.

With the flying speed of the giant dragon, he can return to Winter City before noon tomorrow without delaying the business.

"Where do you think the civilians in the city have gone?" Bedric still looked leisurely, and he didn't forget to chat while watching the ceremony.

The resident population of Winter City is around 300,000 at ordinary times, and more people will seek refuge in the city during wartime. There should be at least 400,000 civilians. But these people are nowhere to be seen now, and no one knows where they went.

When the defenders retreated, they brought hundreds of nobles with them. It was impossible and impossible to manage civilians who were ten times larger than them. Doing so would only drag everyone down.

"Maybe they were dismissed before the siege." The lord is now full of the ring of sky and thunder.

Thinking about it makes me excited, it is a relic from the Titan era, and now it is lying in a corner of the city, waiting for Mr. Richard to pick up the leak.

"That's right." Bedrick also didn't take it seriously.

…………

More than 100,000 people just lined up to enter the city, and it took four to five hours. After entering the city, it took almost another time to redefine the defense zone and arrange patrols. When everything is arranged, there is only the last twilight of the sun in the sky.

"Let's go!" Li Cha snapped his fingers and set off sneakily with Dracula.

According to what Dracula said before, the Ring of Sky and Thunder belonged to the collection of a former traveler. The mansion of the traveler was located in the aristocratic area in the east of the city, a little far from the military camp. However, the two of them were by no means the only ones sneaking there, and there were quite a few people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make some extra money. The upper echelons of the expeditionary army chose to turn a blind eye to this.

After all, the one-month siege battle was too difficult, and it would be unreasonable to be strict with military discipline at this time.

"This is the Ring of Sky and Thunder?" Li Cha stood in a showroom, holding an ivory white ring the size of a bracelet in his hand. To be honest, he really couldn't believe that such a thing that didn't even have a magic crystal embedded in it could be a magic equipment.

"Absolutely!" The light in the room was already dim, but Dracula covered his cloudy eyes, as if looking directly at the sun. He can see the "light" that ordinary people can't see, the more precious the object, the brighter the light, and at this moment the strong light in front of him makes it impossible for him to open his eyes!

"All right."

It's a pity that Qiqiu is not here, otherwise you can try it on the spot. Li Cha smacked his lips regretfully, this little thing seems to be a little angry since it was kicked off the wall. The lord originally planned to take it with him, so forget it if he didn't find it for a long time.

As time passed, the last remaining twilight of the day also fell below the horizon with the sun.

No one noticed, while the sun disappeared.

Pale palms suddenly protruded from the soft mud, the ditch, and even the cesspit of the dry toilet.

Something is wrong with the mind. . . . to stroke
