"Today is really exhausting."

The sky was completely dark. In the city of Veruga, Hank, the city defense officer and city councillor who was also in charge of city defense, pushed open the door and hung his coat on the wall.

He intends to let her wife iron a glass of wine for her as usual, and then take a comfortable bath, and work on creating people in the evening.

He yelled a few words, but he didn't get a response from his wife, and a sound similar to an exclamation was mixed with heavy footsteps that a man could have.

"This bitch! It's the third time this month!"

The anger instantly overwhelmed his sanity. He held the dagger at his waist and rushed upstairs quickly.

He didn't show the figure of the maid who used to be busy in the kitchen downstairs. He subconsciously thought that she had colluded with the man and woman, so he didn't go to the kitchen, let alone show a few traces of blood on the kitchen floor.

He rushed upstairs and pushed the door open. But what caught his eyes was that his wife was tied tightly and her mouth was covered by a masked man.

At the moment he opened the door, the other person hiding in the door turned around and pierced the dagger directly into his neck. He drew out his dagger and stabbed it randomly, but missed the target at all. After a few seconds, he fell down with staring eyes. The man walked over and drew another dagger to make some repairs on him.

As for his wife, her throat was also cut at this time, and she was struggling until she was completely breathless before being thrown to the ground.

"Compared with before, this time we are not doing very well."

The assassin who killed Hank retracted the dagger and spoke to his companion in Salan.

The other party nodded, then quickly changed clothes with him and left through the back door.

In two other parts of the city, two other high-ranking military officers in charge of city defense were also killed on street corners and at their homes.

At this time, Byron's army had also entered the sight of the Veluga garrison. Of course, in their eyes, those soldiers dressed basically the same as them, riding on horses in the city, but with a lot of blood stains on their bodies. The leader is still the Alfabe-sama they know, but the equipment on his body is slightly damaged. They took many prisoners and several carriages covered with blood-stained linens, which looked like they had returned in triumph.

Captain Rodok, who was defending the city, saw Alfabe and immediately ordered the gates to be opened to welcome them into the city.

Due to the dim weather, he only discovered something wrong after half of this troop entered the city gate, because there were so many faces he didn't recognize.

As soon as he was about to sound the alarm, he heard a few shouts from someone in the opponent's army, and then several soldiers approaching him directly stepped down from the horse and pulled out the captured Rhodok army with a **** and quickly ended him.

The militiamen on the wall panicked, and the crossbowmen immediately started shooting down, but because of the poor light and lack of experience, the hit rate was poor. Dozens of crossbow arrows were shot past, but only a few fell.

The mercenaries smashed through the wooden door at the stairs of the city wall, rushed to the top of the city, tore the green robes on their bodies, revealing the peony pattern inside, so as not to be accidentally injured in the battle.

The armies of the two sides immediately fought together, and these temporarily armed citizens were unable to stop the fierce mercenaries in a panic. In the melee, they retreated steadily, and even the noose that controlled the city gate was controlled by the mercenaries. NS.

There were two walls at the gate of Veluga. When the outer city was lost, the soldiers guarding the second wall immediately lowered the iron gate to prevent them from entering.

However, as a ignited carriage was pushed to the front of the iron gate, and there was a loud noise that was enough to awaken the whole city, the iron gate was blown out by a huge impact and inserted into a private house.

The flames burst into the sky outside the city, and Byron's army saw the success of the plan and immediately rushed to the gate of Veluga. The militiamen on the city wall are now fighting the mercenaries who entered the city before, and are at a disadvantage, unable to stop them at all. Therefore, the troops outside the city encountered little resistance, so they slammed in from the city gate.

The situation was critical. The patrol team in the city and the soldiers near the city wall hurriedly went to their boss to report the situation, but the officers were also helpless at this time, because they had just received news of the death of several city defense officials and military councillors.

In desperation, they could only report to the Earl of Matthias while ordering resistance, during which they lost hundreds of soldiers and several blocks due to the chaos in command.

The citizens were awakened by the sound of fighting. They looked out the window in horror, and saw the flash of fire on the street, and the sound of soldiers shouting in their ears.

And because Byron's soldiers used Tao Lei extensively, it caused a fire, and the spread of the fire caused a corner of the city to be engulfed in flames.

Some soldiers were forced to break into some houses for defense, and their fighting also severely damaged the homeowners’ property. The screams of women and children flooded the entire street.

The southern city wall has been occupied by Byron, and the streets are full of fighting soldiers. But despite the desperate resistance of the soldiers in the city, they still could not stop the advance of the mercenaries. Some citizens also took up botched weapons in the chaos to try to help their army resist the invaders. This caused the mercenaries to encounter unexpected blows, but only slightly slowed their progress.

After losing almost half of the city, under the order of the angry earl, the remaining city defense forces and the earl's guards lined up on the street, raised their shields, and erected their spears and machetes.

A group of Swadia light infantry and mercenary swordsmen tried to break through their defenses, but they were pierced through armor with sharp spears and pierced through flesh and blood before they were close. They fell to the ground in wailing and were chopped into pieces by a long-handled machete. Piece.

The infantry retreated, and crossbowmen from all over the country stepped forward and shot arrows. Their arrows are powerful, but with little effect. Just like the civilian crossbowmen of Rodok before, the damage caused to the opponent is almost negligible.

The mercenaries were forced to retreat, while the spearman's phalanx moved slowly and calmly forward, pushing these mercenaries into the narrow alley.

At this time, the cavalry of the Peony Mercenary was almost useless. The crowded personnel made them unable to charge at all. They could only dismount their horses and fight on foot, and the Rhodok army like a tortoise shell faced off head-on.

The mercenaries withdrew from the block, but the citizens of Rodok did not have time to cheer. Because before they took back this street, another army took the place of those mixed mercenaries.

Most of them wore leather and soft armor, and a small number of them wore scale and chain armor. Wearing a pot helmet, holding a sharp halberd that is basically the same length as their spear, and without a shield, they lined up and rushed towards them in a formation similar to theirs.

The crossbowmen behind the shield wall shot a round of crossbow arrows and shot down more than a dozen people, but this did not slow down the opponent's charge. Soon the long-armed weapons of both sides collided together, constantly stretching forward and retreating, stabbing Pour one soldier after another.

However, the soldiers of Rodok soon discovered that although the opponent was poorly protected and did not hold a shield, their halberds were extremely lethal, and their armor could not protect them too much. Moreover, the halberd can slash through their shields from above, and can also cut off their own guns. After a few confrontations, they stopped their advancement. And these people seem to be under-trained, but their morale is high, and they have always been in an offensive position not to suppress them.

This is a contest between two infantry groups. Both sides tried their best to kill the enemy with weapons in their hands. The battle soon fell into a state of anxiety, and the casualties of Rodok also began to increase rapidly. After they passed them, they caused the opponent. Damage.

At this time, the spearman in another street was defeated by twice as many mercenaries as they were. A large number of lumberjack mercenaries and Nord soldiers quickly rushed in, brandishing halberds and tomahawks, facing from the right. They attacked. Under the double line attack, even these well-trained Rhodok lancers can only retreat back to the castle with the support of the sergeants who came from the rear to support ~lightnovelpub.net~ but although it is said to be A castle, but Veluga is not a well-protected semi-fortress city like De Herim. Although both are important agricultural sites in both countries, Veluga’s commercial value is far greater than military. The castle in the center of the city is more like a large-scale manor with better protection, and it is not protected by a moat or a tall city wall.

Moreover, after Byron's raid, the defenders in the city had been reduced by half, and the remaining soldiers could not withstand the opponent's attack.

Therefore, Earl Matt Ass made a very heartbreaking decision. After leaving some loyal soldiers, he left the North Gate with his family and a few of the most valuable things. And Byron's troops were not enough to encircle the whole city, nor did they cut off all the streets in the city, so they let them escape.

But the fall of the city is inevitable...
