Chapter 1427 Expulsion
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
clang! Clang!
On the highest tower of Aiya Post, the guards shouted loudly and rang the warning bell.
The loud bell echoed throughout the outpost, and everyone took action.
One after another, the ballistas were pushed up to the shooting holes in the city wall, and on the highest inner city wall, the guards tore off the coverings of the catapults one after another.
The cloth, which was completely sewn from several pieces of cowhide, fell heavily at Etelina's feet.
boom!
Amidst the dull noise, Etelina was awakened.
She looked at the dark monster rushing towards her like a wave in disbelief.
Finally, a hint of bitterness appeared on her lips.
Is this my punishment?
Deep in her heart, Etelina thought silently.
But that didn't make the priestess of the Temple of Thorns give up everything.
Until the last moment...
She will never give up!
"The archers are divided into three teams!"
"The pikemen are divided into two teams!"
"Shield!"
"Soldier, pick up your shield and stand in front of your comrades!"
Etelina turned around and shouted loudly to the soldiers in the post.
To Etelina's relief, the already well-trained outpost soldiers and the elite temple knights left behind became faster and more stable after she joined them.
"There are one hundred and fifty permanent soldiers stationed at Aiya Post, and there are 400 reserve and auxiliary troops. In addition to the 100 elite knights left by the temple, the number of combatants is 650. Moreover, Aiya Post is well-equipped Complete, including crossbows and catapults, it can build a very good fortification."
Etelina made general calculations.
She did not take out the militiamen, fire-headed troops, etc. who should not be counted among them.
Because, at this time, only more people can make her feel at ease.
Of course, the thing that makes Etelina feel the most secure is the outpost at her feet.
Aiya Outpost, said to be an outpost, can actually be called a small town.
Not only are the city walls tall and strong, they are also divided into inner and outer walls.
In the confrontation with the lords of the Yot Plains, Aia Outpost played an indelible role, but...
That's just against fellow human enemies!
Facing the enemy who is a monster, Etelina does not have much confidence.
But she has no choice now.
The speed of the monster was beyond her imagination.
She clenched the sword in her hand and stared at the approaching wave of monsters.
Then……
She noticed something was wrong.
The monsters running towards them did not have the ferocious feeling that they were about to attack, but instead had a sense of panic and fear.
what happened?
Etelina was stunned.
"Lookout hand!"
she shouted.
In fact, without Etelina's orders, the best lookouts at Aiya Post were already observing this unusual team of monsters.
And soon, he saw the unusual reason.
"Your Excellency Etelina, it seems that someone is chasing these monsters!"
"chase?"
"Who is it?"
Hearing the words of the lookout, Etelina couldn't wait to ask. At the same time, she widened her eyes again, hoping to see who it was.
But it is a pity that her eyesight is not outstanding. Without the support of Lady Thorns, she is even unable to find that goal.
However, this did not prevent Etelina from issuing accurate orders.
"attack!"
"Archer, free scatter!"
Etelina shouted.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Arrows shot high into the sky, and then fell like rain one after another.
In an instant, the monsters that were rushing towards him fell to the ground.
For the entire group of monsters, this number is not large, and it can even be said that they cannot make a single splash.
Scattering again and again.
The first team of archers had already walked down the city wall to rest, and the second team of archers had drawn their longbows for the second time.
Each of them looked at the monster with an expression of excitement and hostility.
For the soldiers and knights guarding the city, their stay here shows that they have decided to use their lives to delay the monsters.
They didn't expect to be alive.
They just hope to delay the monsters for a while.
Let the team with hope go a little further.
Make their death more worthwhile.
So that they can hold their heads high when they return to the Kingdom of God.
Belief!
It is the source of everything!
For those who live in an age where gods manifest themselves, all this is taken for granted.
However, they won't mind if they encounter unexpected rescue.
This will not affect their 'merits' at all.
and……
This attack method is really too beautiful.
The panicked monsters did not attack the city, they only knew how to escape. They were not in danger at all, just like shooting targets in a drill.
Whoosh whoosh!
Another rain of arrows fell.
But what was different from before was that this time as the monster fell to the ground, a figure appeared among the monster.
On the metal, weird war horse, the black crow feather windbreaker dances in the wind.
In the red, dazzling flames, roars filled with pressure and fear went straight up into the sky.
Etelina, who had been staring into the distance, was completely stunned when she saw that figure.
"Ly, Ryan?!"
"How, how is this possible?!"
The priestess of the Temple of Thorns stammered.
She seemed unable to believe that she could still see that figure.
Similarly, the surrounding defenders who heard the words of the priestess were all stunned on the spot.
but!
Some people were not dumbfounded.
Melzer, Pierke and other Holy Grail thieves, as well as the ‘Green Stone’ killers.
The former, under the control of [Mesili's Ring], instantly sensed who it was.
The latter found his own commander in Teach's secret technique.
More than a dozen figures rushed out of the city wall.
They are all like apes and civet cats, and the towering city walls have no stopping power at all for professionals like them.
They kept walking.
Like an arrow from a string, it rushed towards the black figure.
The dark monsters encountered along the way were all slaughtered one by one by these dozen figures.
It is not the head-on fighting method of knights, but the small and strange assassination techniques that thieves and killers are good at.
A dagger, a short sword, three to five darts, throwing knives, and several bottles of poison with different effects.
Eyes, throat, heart, private parts.
There are no superfluous attacks.
There was no hesitation.
When he turned over nimbly, the monster that had just passed by suddenly fell to the ground, and the smelly liquid in his throat erupted like a spring.
With a neat rollover, the roaring monster turned into a howl, and its pierced eyes made it attack everything around it crazily.
finally?
The poison robs it of life when it rests.
The people on the city wall stared at this team in stunned silence. They thought it was a silent, alternative team that did not listen to anyone's orders.
Watching them harvest the lives of monsters with ease, tearing apart the defense lines, and came to the black figure.
Watch them get down on one knee.
Watch them lower their heads.
Watch them obey and shout——
"grown ups!"
