Chapter 303 153 Night Attack
Chapter 303 -153- Night Attack
It's a lively night today.
The capture of the North Port Bridge boosted the morale of the Principality's coalition forces. Although there was still a tough battle to be fought at the Castres Bridge and the North Port Island, looking at the coalition forces, Castres' retreat had been cut off, and both sides of the waterway were on both sides. Being surrounded, it was only a matter of time before we captured this pearl of the north.
It is natural to celebrate.
The bridge was captured, and the main force of the coalition successfully crossed the river and was stationed on the north bank of the Dorne River, completely cutting off the communication between North Port and the mainland.
The top leaders of the two principalities are even discussing the next attack plan to divide their troops and go north.
Of course, even the attack was a matter of the next day. After siege for many days, the soldiers also needed to rest.
And when the night got darker and the time came into the middle of the night, the brightly lit army station gradually became quiet.
Except for the soldiers who are still patrolling, most of the soldiers have fallen asleep.
No one feared that Castel would attack the camp at night.
After setting up camp, the coalition forces had built a temporary magic circle around the Castel Bridge leading to the main island of Beigang, with extraordinary people taking turns to guard it, making it very stable.
Of course, the defense at the rear of the coalition forces is relatively weak. After the Beigang Bridge was finally captured, only two initiates, thirty extraordinary standing soldiers, and one hundred ordinary conscripts were left on the coalition side. garrison.
As the night gets darker, the bright silver moon climbs to the dome, and the water-like moonlight pours on the sea, reflecting the sparkling brilliance.
On the Beigang Bridge, the soldiers on duty were holding their weapons, half asleep and half awake, dozing off in a daze.
A ghostly black shadow flashed on the ground, but it did not attract the soldier's attention.
It wasn't until the warning magic arranged on the bridge lit up that the soldier woke up in vain. However, before he could sound the alarm, a figure shrouded in black mist appeared behind him and cut his throat directly.
The soldier's eyes widened and he looked horrified.
At the end of his loss of consciousness, what he saw was a pair of scarlet eyes and a bloody mouth with fangs, and the bloody mouth directly bit his throat, sucking his blood greedily...
On the bridge, ghostly figures "floated" one after another from all directions, and the soldiers on duty followed one after another, turning into corpses without even sounding the alarm.
There are more and more ghostly figures flying towards the bridge from all directions...
The bright moonlight shone on them, and they were figures wearing black cloaks with red eyes.
Bloodlines.
In other words, vampires and blood servants.
The reinforcements composed of the blood descendants of Nes and their servants and followers have landed under the cover of night!
Night is the home of the vampires...
The Beigang Bridge, which the allied forces of the Principality had finally captured, was unknowingly controlled by the blood descendants.
…
The principality's coalition military station, the outermost edge.
The soldiers on duty put on their clothes, picked up their weapons, and came to the place of duty to change their duties.
"Pierre, it's the changing of the guard, it's your turn to go to bed."
He yawned and knocked on the wooden board of the post.
A gust of night wind blew, causing the soldier to shiver. He raised his head, glanced at the moonlight, and cursed:
"Damn it! It's so cold tonight. The weather here in Castres is much worse than in Boulder!"
However, after he finished speaking, there was no response from the guard post.
"Pierre?"
The soldier frowned.
Another gust of night wind blew, carrying a strong smell of blood.
Upon smelling this smell, the soldier's expression changed suddenly.
He quickly pushed open the door of the outpost and saw that a soldier named Pierre had fallen inside.
His face was pale, he looked like he had lost a lot of blood, and his neck had already been cut open.
The soldier's pupils trembled slightly. He almost subconsciously took out the police whistle, blew the whistle quickly, and then shouted:
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack——! Ah!!"
Before he could finish shouting, a ghostly figure flashed over and a sword penetrated his chest.
However, the police whistle had been blown, and the sleeping soldiers were suddenly awakened.
"Enemy attack? Where?"
"Castle sent out troops?"
The soldiers sleeping in the tents near the outpost quickly stood up and picked up their weapons, but before they were ready, ghostly figures rushed in.
Screams rang out one after another, and the blood descendants began to kill. Torches overturned and set fire to the tents. The edge stations of the coalition soon fell into chaos.
The commotion grew bigger and bigger, even alarming the nobles in the center of the camp. When the third prince Philip was awakened by the soldiers, got dressed in a daze, and came outside the barracks, the southern part of the coalition army was already ablaze.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Looking at the soldiers walking back and forth in the camp, and listening to the fighting and screaming in the distance, the third prince's expression changed and he asked.
"Your Highness! It's the rear! In the direction of the North Port Bridge! We are under attack!"
said the noble who came in a hurry.
"Rear? Northport Bridge?"
The third prince was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously blurted out:
"This is impossible! Beigang is already surrounded by us, how could they get around behind us?!"
"Your Highness! It's really the Beigang Bridge! The enemy's combat power is very strong. I'm afraid they are a group of extraordinary beings. Our surrounding troops cannot resist at all!"
the nobleman said anxiously.
"Extraordinary?"
The third prince was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, with a solemn expression:
"I'm afraid it's the extraordinary team organized by Beigang, who took advantage of the night to get behind us."
"Don't panic, there are not many extraordinary people in Beigang, send out extraordinary people to stop them, and don't cause more chaos!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a whistle.
"It's a stone cannon! Be careful, Your Highness!"
The noble was the first to react, his expression changed, and he dragged the third prince to lie down.
As soon as they lay down, they saw a stone bullet hit the tent not far away, tearing several soldiers into pieces amid screams.
It was not until this time that the faint sound of artillery came from afar.
"Where did the stone cannon come from?!"
The third prince was shocked and angry.
Looking for the source of the sound and picking up the telescope, the noble's expression was blank:
"It seems... on the sea?"
"On the sea?"
The third prince was stunned.
But the next moment, he saw the noble's expression change:
"Your Highness! Look! The sea!"
After hearing what the other party said, the third prince Philip subconsciously took the telescope and looked at the sea, and his expression suddenly changed.
On the vast sea, the fire gradually rose, and bursts of artillery fire came from afar, piercing the tranquility of the night.
The bright moonlight illuminated the sea, and the burning sailboats reflected the sky red. Only to see a mighty oars fleet appeared outside the joint fleet surrounding Beigang!
Sorry, I was too tired to go home last night. I originally planned to take a nap and type, but I slept until morning without noticing.
