king of ros

Chapter 316 Responding decisively
"Bastard! Why are the gates abolished!"

Just as heretics were pouring into the city, at the gate of the Red City, a battle had just ended, and Dill, the victor of the battle, uttered such a howl.

After hearing the sound of the fire, Dill's first reaction was to control the city gate. As long as they controlled it, they could deal with any incidents outside the city.

With only one-fifth of the Rostov Battalion left, Dill led the troops to the city gate without any hesitation. Of course, he knew that his strength was insufficient and he did not flinch, because he knew that if he didn't do it, it would be really difficult. The situation may be corrupted.

Dill didn't mind dying for Rostislav, who had made him and his family what they were today, and Dill had always been very grateful to Rostislav.

As for the city gate, what they found was Miria's subordinates who stayed here, and some people dressed as civilians were mixed among these people. Dill knew they were definitely Milia's accomplices.

And he also noticed that these people had giant snake emblems on their shoulders. He also grew up in Northeast Ross. Of course he understood what this symbol meant.

Veles, the giant snake, these people are followers of that pagan god.

Without any hesitation, the Rostov battalion, loyal to the prince of Moscow, launched an attack on the traitors of the former comrades. These Christian soldiers had no mercy when facing their former colleagues, and the same is true for the opposite.

Ever since Milia formed a faction in the Rostov camp, the gap between the pagan soldiers and the Christian soldiers has become wider and wider, and the mutual hostility has become more serious and bigger.

Although the Christian soldiers did not report the small actions of the heretics out of comradeship and the same disapproval of conquering the countryside, but that was all, and the relationship between the two sides could only go so far.

Swords and swords exchanged mercilessly like this. Both sides were fighters trained in the same battalion. They used similar combat skills and knew the opponent's weakness. The battle naturally became cruel.

However, Dill's side continued to have reinforcements joining in, and the noisy fighting sound had awakened the entire Red City, and the soldiers naturally got up and put on their armor quickly, and then came to join the battle.

The addition of armored warriors immediately changed the balance of battle. These warriors are the elite of the princes, and they are superior to these rebel soldiers in terms of armor and combat skills.

They directly relied on the thickness of their armor to attack the enemy. No matter how they slashed, the rebels could not do anything to their armor, while the soldiers slashed at will. Countless blood flowed with every cut, and some people died.

The guards joined the battle in groups of three or four, and with more and more guards, the defeat of the traitors had become a foregone conclusion.

As the last rebel soldier was crucified on the wall, there was a burst of cheers from the Christian side, because everyone saw that there were more pagans coming along the road, and this scene couldn't help but make everyone look dignified.

Dill took a few soldiers into the gate building and wanted to put down the iron door. This is the most convenient way to close the door. After taking it up, he found that the bearing of the iron door had been damaged, so he had to go down. It turned out that the wooden door looked intact but was actually closed. The top has been dismantled and several link points have been destroyed.

So there was Dill's angry cry.

"Dill, what's going on here, who are those people outside?"

Domhnall's voice came, and his words were full of confusion. There was such a fight tonight. When he saw Dill, he subconsciously helped him, but he didn't know what happened after the fight.

Domhnall's face was full of pain. With the help of his subordinates, he quickly took off the chain mail, revealing his naked upper body, which was covered with tiny wounds.

Before Domhnall put on the chain mail and rushed out without wearing the inner armor inside, which led to such a situation, leaving himself covered in scars.

And as a person like the vice-captain of the bodyguard team, it was natural that someone rushed to apply the medicine to him, and after the medicine was finished, he immediately put on the inner armor, and then put on the chain mail.

The words of the Gaels represent the doubts of many people. Now there are soldiers, followers and some servants here. Most people are ignorant. They see that they are being attacked, but they don’t know who is attacking. up.

"The goddamn heretics are attacking! Don't you see the giant snakes on their arms? They made most of my battalion mutiny, Domhnall don't sit there like a normal person, come to the city gate Shield Wall, we must hold them back! They're coming!"

The information contained in the words was too much, and Domhnall was immediately stunned. Why is this city more dangerous than the outside?
He was ignorant, but his movements were not ambiguous at all. After all, everyone could see the menacing army coming, and he also understood the meaning of the giant snake logo and the weight behind it, so he didn't dare to relax at all.

His thinking immediately returned to the feeling of being on the battlefield, and he immediately called his subordinates to carry the corpses, intending to stuff these corpses in the city gate hole for a while, and ordered those who can shoot arrows to go to the city wall to hinder those corpses. The march of the brigade.

It's just that during the operation, Domhnall noticed a very bad thing, that is, the morale of many soldiers has serious problems. The sudden attack in the middle of the night, and the vast number of armed personnel outside are very shaken. some people.

This is not a good thing, even among princes' personal soldiers. They urgently need someone who can control the situation, and this person must have high prestige, and now there are very few people who meet this condition... unless !
"Calm down, it doesn't look like a soldier should be in such a hurry. You can deal with it as you want. I don't panic even as a woman, let alone you men."

When the name appeared in Domhnall's mind, the owner of the name just came out. Zoe was wearing a thick fur coat, and her beautiful face was exposed.

This is a face that everyone in Moscow knows, and it is also the city's highest prestige, Rostislav's wife, Mrs. Zoe of Moscow.

For this face, everyone is convinced, and the authority of the prince's wife is sufficient among them.

Zoe was surrounded by armored soldiers, and the closest ones were the eunuchs and soldiers she had brought. Their faces were still shrouded behind the chain veil, standing behind Zoe like stone statues.

And slightly outside are the armed Greek and Russian officials, as well as the servants of the Rostislav Palace. , mail, leg armor, spears, axes... This makes them finally look like soldiers-provided you charge in the dim light.

Her face was very indifferent, even if she was pretending, she was pretending very well, and she couldn't see any flaws at all, and this made everyone feel at ease.

"Mrs. Zoe."

Domhnall and Dill immediately knelt down in front of the hostess, but Zooey just waved her hand to signal them to get up.

And then a team of crossbowmen ran past them and climbed onto the city wall, and then started shooting outside the city non-stop.

"I know what's going on, you guys do your best to just, I'll just stand here, I'm needed here now."

Zoe's tone was so indifferent, as if what was going to happen next was not a brutal fight, but a leisurely outing.

The two subconsciously wanted to persuade Mrs. Zoe to go back to a safe place. If something happened to the prince's wife, they couldn't bear it, but seeing the soldiers who had apparently settled down with Zoe's appearance, they swallowed their words again. in stomach.

After all, if you can't protect the city wall, let alone protect your wife, the two of them didn't hesitate any more when they saw this, and went on to their work.

And Zooey just asked his eunuch guards to move over a chair, and then calmly watched the soldiers busy. Only at this time could her nervousness be relieved.
