Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 472

Click and click--

In the Winster camp outside Timothy’s Castle, although it was at night, the inside of the camp was still brightly lit. The large amount of fire light made the camp as bright as the day. Compared with the outstretched hands outside the camp, the contrast is really big.

Walking in such a bright camp, the soldiers of the first patrol team relax a lot. What they fear most is patrolling in the dark. Let alone the fear of darkness in the bones of animals, only they have heard from their childhood. The story of the beast dragging a man away while he was in the dark is enough to make them get goose bumps in the darkness around them.

The camp is surrounded by a two-meter-high wooden wall. The wooden wall can also accommodate two people walking at the same time. Therefore, the patrol team must not only train in the camp, but also walk on the wooden wall. The outside of the wooden wall is dug. The deep ditch, one person high, is filled with dense spikes, so they don't worry about people attacking at night.

It has not been attacked by the enemy. The soldiers in the camp have somewhat lost some necessary vigilance. The patrols on the wooden wall and the soldiers standing guard are also like this. They looked at the dark outside world and couldn't bear it. I stayed and yawned. Although I didn't think there would be a night attack, due to military discipline, they didn't dare to openly do anything to sleep while standing guard. Regarding the urinary nature of the gendarmerie, they dared to stand guard to sleep. Was hung up and lashed out.

"When will it be the next shift?"

A sentry standing on the tower on the side of the gate complained in a low voice. He turned around and glanced at the brightly lit camp, sighed in his heart, and just turned his head, he saw a black shadow getting closer and closer, before he could react. , The black shadow passed directly through his wide-open left eye, smashed his brain, and then passed through the back of his head. The distracted sentry couldn’t even make a scream, so he fell straight back. His dereliction of duty paid the price.

At the moment he fell, there was also a slight sound of heavy objects falling to the ground from the opposite tower. Immediately afterwards, several figures turned over the gate like monkeys and jumped to the inside of the gate. They looked around and confirmed that no one was there. After finding out, they dispersed and ran towards the camp. However, at this moment, a team of patrols approached them, and both sides found each other for the first time. The attacker reacted more quickly, and he directly admitted. The short knife in his hand pierced the leader's chest deeply, and the latter fell to the ground.

After someone fell, the soldiers reacted and quickly raised their guns filled with ammunition and aimed them at the fleeing figure. They pulled the triggers together. The figure couldn't dodge, and fell to the ground with two guns in the back, spitting out a mouthful of blood. , He still wanted to struggle, but was stepped under the foot by the soldier who was catching up behind him, and he was stabbed to death with a bayonet.

The sudden gunfire sounded like a warning signal. After the gunfire, every soldier in the camp was awakened from their sleep. They had red eyes (they would be bloodshot after awakening, so they looked red). While mumbling something, he got up from the bed, put on the military uniform in a hurry, picked up the musket beside the bed and rushed out.

Richard in the main tent was also awakened for the first time. As soon as he got up, he saw his adjutant open the curtain and barge in. Without asking him, he directly replied: "Sir, we have been attacked. There are unknown numbers. The man in black sneaked into the camp and was spotted by the patrol, and the search has already begun."

"How about the casualties?" Richard asked in a deep voice.

"Two sentries and one patrol captain died."

"Contain their bodies and increase the search. The people in black must be found." Richard said with a headache while holding his temple with one hand. He saw the relaxation of the soldiers. It's just that I haven't found the right time to say that the current night attack can just hit them and make them more vigilant.

Outside, dozens of people in black who sneaked in were chased by Winster’s army. Their black clothes, which could almost blend with the darkness, looked particularly dazzling in the brightly lit camp, no matter where they went, They could all be found by the Winsters armed with muskets, which made them complain secretly, but they had no choice but to run forward desperately.

"Don't run! Stop!"

"Stop it for me now!"

Listening to the yells of the soldiers behind, several running men in black complained bitterly, but when they were even more desperate, a group of heavily armed soldiers suddenly appeared in front of them. They stood in place and pointed their guns at them. The black-clothed men on the run, before the latter wanted to surrender, saw the fire explode, and the black-clothed men fell to the ground immediately.

In just over ten minutes, all the people in black in the camp were shot and killed. Only one person who was shot in the leg and unable to escape was caught. In order to prevent him from playing tricks, the whole person was **** like a dirt. The dog was left in front of Richard.

Looking at the dead captive, Richard sneered, crouched in front of him, and asked aloud: "Where are you from?"

"..."

"What is your purpose?"

"..."

"Are you from the Kingdom of Oponia?"

"..."

Still do not answer.

Seeing the captive who gritted his teeth and couldn't say a word, Richard frowned, sneered again, got up, and said casually: "Don't say yes, that's fine."

"Break one of his legs," he said coldly.

"Yes."

A few soldiers promised, stepped forward, raised the **** of the rifle and slammed it down at one of his legs. The captive heard only a slight cracking sound from the leg bones, and the pain in his heart quickly spread throughout his body, and sweat dripped heavily. Big drops fell.

"I'll ask you again, where did you come from." Richard asked coldly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, as if he looked like a dead dog.

"..."

"Heh~" Seeing that the captive still refused to cooperate, Richard chuckled and made a devilish voice in the captive's ears: "One more interrupt."

Several soldiers did not hesitate, and once again raised the **** of his rifle and broke one of his legs. Two legs broke. The prisoner's face was pale, and he looked shaky, as if he would be unconscious in the next second.

"You have two hands left~lightnovelpub.net~You still have two chances, I will ask you again, where are you from?"

"I...I...I was sent by General Argo Walker."

Richard frowned slightly. Although he didn't say where he came from, he still told the instigator obediently. He continued to ask, "What is your purpose."

"Yes... it's setting fire to your camp..."

The captive said intermittently, it can be seen from his face almost comparable to white paper that he is suffering from inhuman pain at this time.

"Heh~" Richard sneered, fire attack, a good strategy, if they didn't happen to be hit by the patrol, wouldn't they succeed? When he thought that the flames might ignite the large amount of gunpowder stored in the camp and cause a violent explosion, he was terrified.

"Where is your army? How many?"

"In...in..." The captive hadn't finished speaking, but suddenly lost his support, and his whole body collapsed. No matter how hard the soldiers next to him toss, there was no movement.
