Rise In Calradia - Chapter 406: : Rhodocan Civil War (11)

“Is there something to the east?”

“Hurry up and call the sergeant!”

On the watchtower of the city wall of Jelkala, the soldiers saw the dust rising from the east, and immediately shouted to the bottom. When the soldiers on the wall heard this, they ran away to find their sergeants. There is also more fear and uneasiness.

It’s easy to understand. In the past, when the guards of Jerkala saw the smoke and dust rising on the eastern road, they would think of the Leyland family who controlled the eastern region, or the Sarande merchants who came across the desert and oasis. queue, loaded with exotic merchandise. But now, when they hear that someone from the east is coming, they can only think of one thing—Von Byron is attacking them!

Today, the defense level of Gelkala is not as good as before. The earthquake destroyed many sections of the city wall. Concentrate your forces and siege engines on the onslaught. In addition, due to the impact of the civil war, King Graves had to mobilize troops from the city three times, taking half of the original defensive troops and mobilizing the available militia. Now the city is full of troops and there are only less than 1,000 troops. soldiers, and a considerable part of them were urban militiamen. Facing Byron’s troops, the soldiers defending the city really had no idea.

Soon, the sergeant arrived, and after that, the adjutant of the city defense came to the city with reinforcements. Not long after, the city defense officer also arrived. Hundreds of soldiers performed their duties, guarding all important positions and city defense weapons. silhouette.

The soldiers all seemed a little nervous at this time, only the city defense officer frowned, but he still spoke calmly, was in a normal state of mind, and could make rational judgments, which made those sergeants who had looked down on him feel the new city defense officer The official has a little more admiration.

The soldiers on the city wall were ready, as long as they confirmed that it was Byron’s troops, they would immediately shoot arrows to warn them, and then decide whether to continue to shoot arrows or continue to shoot arrows into the dead according to the opponent’s reaction.

However, as the smoke and dust dissipated and the flag became more and more conspicuous, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and put down their weapons. The cavalry standard bearer who led the team was not holding Byron’s peony flag or any other Swadian lord. flag, but the green flag carried by the scouts of the city of Jelkala. And they were not many in number. Although they saw the smoke and dust flying from a distance, they realized that the cavalry was only a dozen or so cavalry when they got closer, and there was no support behind them, posing no threat to the city defense.

But even so, they didn’t dare to fully confirm that these were their own people. After all, after dealing with Von Byron for a long time, even a fool can get the hang of it. After being deceived by the mercenary lord’s tactics for a long time, everyone will be more careful. They were very worried that those people had been replaced by Byron’s soldiers, and they wanted to earn money to open the city gate. Although Byron’s people were not nearby, who knew if he would play another trick. You know, the fortifications were well built before the Jerkala earthquake, so the city gates were quite thick and difficult to open. Sometimes it took a few minutes to close them all. Usually, they were always open unless necessary. In case of sudden escape from any direction A group of Swadian soldiers came out, and it would be really easy for them to break into the city.

Fortunately, after the cavalry approached, people recognized their appearance and attire, and their accents were correct. Everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief. They were ready to open the door, but they still did not dare to ignore the possible danger in the distance.

“What happened to the East?”

Lord Borgia stood at the head of the city and shouted at the soldiers below.

“It’s terrible, my lord!” The words of those patrolling cavalry startled everyone, and even the city gate stopped in mid-air. The soldiers looked at each other, and didn’t even know whether to open the gate.

“Von Byron is plundering our villages. They took away all the young and strong laborers, and even women and children were forcibly taken away by them. Now the villages on the border are all empty, only some can’t walk. Old man of the road, they begged for our help, and the Swadians have taken everything of value in sight!”

Now, everyone can finally relax, lay down their weapons, and leave their posts. Although the report of the cavalry is also very bad news, but the plunder on the frontier is better than a war for the siege of the city.

“Let them enter the city!”

The city defense officer issued an order, and the soldiers followed immediately. The big shots began to have heated discussions, and the topic gradually changed from how to defend the city to how to drive away the enemy troops who plundered the village and the population.

But first, they had to figure out the situation.

The cavalry entered the city in a hurry, and were recruited by the city defense officer and several other nobles. They reported in detail what they had seen and heard. In their description, Von Byron’s army did not appear near the border, but they The spies have been able to observe that the Swadian army is returning to the north in batches, and the remaining troops are also gathering farther east towards the border of Sarande. Judging from the current situation, Byron doesn’t seem to have any intention of doing anything against Jerkal. The huge coalition forces he has assembled are now being disbanded, and Byron’s main energy is still resisting the Saranders who were cheated by him. on the anger. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The nobles are not aware of the recent situation of Salander, and the information they have is obviously outdated, so they don’t know whether the Salander will continue to attack the Eastern Rhodok region. And this idea has been approved by many nobles, and only Lord Borgia, the city defense officer, has some opinions on it.

At this time, there is a heated discussion in the city of Jerkala because of Byron’s annoying looting issue, and the king on the front line has no time to take care of these things at this time. The area where the wall defense line is damaged is getting bigger and bigger, and the offensive of the coalition forces is getting stronger. ferocious. All the experience of the two sides at the moment is in winning this battle, so naturally they don’t pay much attention to these small groups of troops, and let Borgia, the city defense officer, take full responsibility for this matter.

But Borgia was acting aggressive at this moment. Although he still insisted on defending the city, many Rhodok cavalry troops also went out of the city to search for traces of the enemy. As a result, there were fewer defenders in the city. Not a lot.

These practices won the support and appointment of the residents in the city. The patrol team dispatched several times not only forced back a Swadian attack, but also recaptured some villagers and dinars. However, the people of Jerkala didn’t know that for some people, the plan they implemented had already achieved more than half of the success at this time.
