Riding and Slashing

Chapter 309

The hearing of the Noldor elves is really good. Even at the gate of the city, Lisa Dilan still heard Leon's cry.

Of course, everyone around the Noble House heard it too.

But no one did anything to Li Ang——Li Ang was the marshal of the Sarleon Kingdom, and he had made great achievements in the South and North Wars. Without the king's order, no one would do anything to him.

Even though he just ordered his guards to enter the royal city.

On the contrary, Ors was quite hesitant. He hesitated left and right at the gate of the Noble Court, and finally turned around and broke into the high tower of the Noble Court.

He worries about Inna, the son he just met and the only relative he has now.

However, Lisa Dilan, who had been waiting by the city gate, did not hesitate.

If Risadiran was not a Noldor elf, but a knight from Sarleon like Aurs, he might still be a little worried after hearing this order—to bring the guards into Sarleon City, which is basically equivalent to rebel.

But Lisa Dilan didn't care what the lord was going to do. He didn't have any sense of identity with the Sarleon Kingdom, and he didn't think there was anything special about Sarleon City.

That is to say, the scale is relatively large and the city wall is relatively high.

So after hearing the order, Lisa Dilan sounded the horn to march without hesitation.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

The horns of the elves are low and long, and they don't sound high-pitched, but they can travel far.

The Noldor Guard not far outside the city responded and began to charge towards the city gate.

At the same time, five men in black rushed out from the corner near the city gate, rushed to Lisa Dilan's side quickly, and then rushed into the gatehouse of the city gate with Lisa Dilan - that was the one who had been ambushing in the city. The leading Scorpio Assassins, they temporarily accept the command of Li Sadilan.

The gatehouse of Lion City is not a messenger room, it is actually a military depot inside the city gate, and it is also a passage leading to the city tower and the city wall, located inside the city gate hole.

This is also the working place of the city gate officer.

For a big city like Lion City, the gatehouse is the core defensive location, because there is a winch inside the gatehouse to control the opening and closing of the city gate.

Of course, it was daytime, and there was no enemy outside. The gates of Lion City were already open.

At this time, the guards of the city gate did not know that there was a murder case in the noble court, and they did not receive any orders, so naturally they did not close the gate.

But Li Sadilan knew very well that when the lord said 'open the city gate', he did not ask him to push the winch to open the gate, but to let him control the gate.

That is to kill the soldiers stationed in the gatehouse, lest they close the city gate.

Because Li Ang's guards were still outside the city at this time.

Sarleon has two gates, the outer gate and the inner gate.

There is a moat about ten meters wide around the city, and a huge stone base several meters wide is deliberately left between the river channel and the root of the city wall to prevent the river from corroding the city wall.

The outer city gate is actually not on the city wall, but a separate gate, the bottom of which is built on the foundation of the megalithic city that is several meters wide. The whole is very high, with a total length of more than 15 meters.

This kind of outer city gate needs to be lowered or pulled up slowly, because it is too high, and if the bridge deck of more than ten meters is allowed to fall freely, it is likely to be damaged or even broken.

The inner gate is different. It is embedded in the city gate. It is the grid-shaped lifting gate hanging in the gate hole of Changhe Town. It is made of giant wood wrapped in iron sheet.

As long as someone knocks off the wooden plug that fixes the winch, the heavy inner gate will crash down, sealing the city gate.

If this kind of gate is lowered, it will take a lot of effort to raise it again. Just pushing the winch requires several strong men to fight together.

As the capital of the Sarleon Kingdom, the residence of the king, of course, no lord is allowed to bring troops into the city. At most, he can bring a few followers or captains of guards, such as Lisa Dilan.

Even if the entourage of the foreign lord wants to settle temporarily in the Sarleon City barracks, they must disarm and enter the barracks from the entrance of the barracks at the root of the side wall. They cannot go through the city gate to avoid misunderstandings or accidents.

Once an armed force is found approaching the gate, the inner gate will be closed immediately.

And at night, or when facing foreign enemies, the outer city gates will also be pulled up, making Sarleon City a closed giant fortress.

This is the primary military task that the garrison in the city will perform without any order.

The only troops that can enter Sarleon City wearing armor and holding weapons are the king's own army-that is, the Lion Knights and the Royal City Guard.

But the Lion Knights are currently in the Fox Town, and the King City Guards are waiting for news in Haringosburg, and none of them are in the Lion City.

The Royal Guards were waiting for Li Ang and Inna to return to Lion City to explain the situation to the king. They felt that they would leave again soon, so they did not return to the station, lest they would do futile work going back and forth.

In other words, there are currently only about 1000 standing troops in Sarleon City, and they are not elite troops.

In fact, not to mention the elite, they can't even be called soldiers...

Lisa Dilan originally thought that he would face a bitter battle in the gatehouse. After all, it stands to reason that as long as the guards of the city gate see the Noldor guard rushing towards them, they will definitely try to drop the inner gate.

There are only five scorpion assassins around him, and the gate guards of Sarleon City usually have at least one centurion.

But in fact, he and the five Scorpio Assassins took control of the most important place, the concierge, without any effort - when they entered the concierge, there was no one inside!
Lisa Dilan was even able to arrange things calmly, moving several stabbing boxes to seal the gaps in the city wall and sealed the door, and then even rested for 2 minutes, only then did he see a group of soldiers rushing Trying to get into the concierge...

The attack that was originally expected turned into a defense, and it was still the kind that had time to prepare.

So Lisa Dilan and several Scorpio assassins didn't fight anyone at all, and didn't sweat a drop.

Because after the garrison found that there was a stabbing box sealing the gatehouse, and there were a few guys who seemed to be experts inside, they didn't rush in at all, but dispersed in a crowd-the Noldor guards were already at this time. It's starting to enter the city, and these garrisons don't intend to die here.

The garrison in Sarleon City is probably the most useless army Lisa Dilan has ever seen...

In other words, they were not fighters in the first place.

Because the garrison troops in Sarleon City have never experienced a real battle—for more than a hundred years, no enemy has ever directly attacked Sarleon City, and they have not even hit Sarleon City.

The closest battle to them was the one when the D'Shars rushed to Yaragarh to plunder—but the D'Shars didn't attack Sarleon City, and were disabled in Yaragarh, and the battlefield was still far away from them. It's dozens of miles.

In addition, Ulrik has recently supplemented the Lion Knights and the King City Guard twice, picking out all the slightly reliable soldiers in the garrison.

Now the rest of the garrison are basically related households who make a living. The city defense army in the capital Wangcheng is treated well. They don't have to risk their lives to fight, and they can deduct oil and water from the city gate, and their food and wages are also guaranteed...

Therefore, what the garrison of Sarleon City is best at is actually not fighting, but frightening farmers and merchants. By the way, they can get some money when inspecting caravans, or help tax officials collect city gate taxes to make some extra money.

Rather than saying that they are city defense forces, it is better to say that they are hooligans, and their combat effectiveness cannot keep up with that of the Red Brotherhood.

After all, those gang members of the Red Brotherhood still had some guts, but these ruffians ran away when the Noldor seized the city gate...

A few minutes later, Li Ang's guards took over the city gate with ease, without killing anyone - all the guards at the city gate ran away, and the other city guards never showed up, so they probably haven't put on their armor yet...

Afterwards, Li Sadilan brought half of the people to Li Ang's side to meet him.

In fact, Li Ang has been standing outside the gate of the Noble House without moving, and has been hugging Mrs. Felina's body, but no one has cared about him.

It wasn't until this time that the formed city defense army appeared, but they still didn't even know what happened, and they were too timid to step forward.

A whole row of Noldor rangers with bows and arrows stood on the city wall, and Li Ang was surrounded by hundreds of Noldor cavalry. The city guards did not dare to approach at either end, so they could only linger in the middle of the street.

They don't even dare to ask...

The guard of only 200 people is now the most powerful combat force in Sarleon City, and it can even make the city defense army of thousands of people dare not make a sound. It has to be said that this is the tragedy of Sarleon Kingdom.

"My lord, are we going to rush into the palace?"

Seeing Li Ang holding a dead body, Li Sadilan looked a little sad, thinking that his lord might rebel...

"What nonsense are you talking about?! Can you enter the palace casually?! I asked you to escort me!!"

Li Ang gave a reprimand at the beginning, and then signaled the guards to surround the high tower of the Court of Nobility: "Seal that tower, and no one is allowed to enter or exit... Now I am controlling here as the marshal of the kingdom to ensure the safety of His Majesty the kingdom! If anyone If there is any abnormal movement... shoot and kill!"

Li Ang's voice was loud, and he spoke quite indignantly.

Originally, there were quite a few guards who were at a loss and were whispering to each other, but at this moment they suddenly became silent.

In fact, Li Ang did not let the guards enter the city for the purpose of rebelling - and he didn't need to rebel.

On the contrary, what he is going to do now should be called "Escorting the King" or "Qing Jun's Side"-this is the standard procedure for loyal and patriotic people to fight for the country.

After all, Li Ang knew that Anna was one of the three prophets, and judging from the identities used by Circe and Anna in the Noble House, Anna should be the leading one.

How powerful the Three Prophets are, Li Ang has personally experienced it...

But now, King Ulrik entered the tower of the Noble House with his sword in hand, and Anna just committed an unforgivable crime.

It's not certain what the king will do exactly, but in this case, Anna can think of what she will do with her toes - there is a high probability that something will happen to Ulrik.

Either be hijacked, or be killed, or even be poisoned or go crazy.

Anyway, with the skills of the three prophets, once the king is held hostage by Anna, no one should be able to save him.

——At least Li Ang felt that it must be impossible to save...

If he is saved, he must be a mad king controlled by heresy...

Therefore, now let the guards enter the city 'Qin Wang'.

To be honest, Leon didn't believe that Felina was pushed down by Princess Anna - because Anna didn't have to do so.

Even if Feilina knew something inside that caused the three prophets to silence her, with their abilities, they would not kill people in such a conspicuous way—whether it was illness, poisoning, or silent death on the bed , the three prophets can easily do it.

This kind of practice of pushing people and jumping off a building is only the practice of ordinary people, and it is completely inconsistent with the behavioral logic of a master like the Three Prophets.

Besides, who would stand at the window after killing someone?

Are you afraid that others will not know that you are committing murder?
It's more like forcing...

It seems that Felina is forcing Ulrik to break with Anna!
Or, to force Anna to jump over the wall in a hurry and reveal the truth by herself.

Then Li Ang will naturally have to do what he wants - of course Marshal Wang Guo will not rebel, but he can "clear the king's side"!
If you accidentally cleared Jun together for this reason... then it can only be regarded as an accident.

All the Noldor elves took off their bows, and some of them rode horses and started patrolling around the Court of Nobles. Those who had been probing their heads on the King's Road and intending to watch the excitement dispersed in a crowd.

The other part of the girl rangers went directly to the wall of the Noble House, taking over the posts of those guards and driving them all out.

None of the guards resisted. They all looked at Li Ang, as if they were going to ask the Marshal of the Kingdom to give a clear explanation.

Li Ang ignored them, but handed Mrs. Filina's body to Lisa Dilan: "You take Aunt Filina to the Fox Town and hand it to Lord Godric with your own hands! Then tell Amy, Let her not get entangled with the Lion Knights, leave Klose to lead the infantry to block the enemy, let her bring all the cavalry to the city of Sarleon as fast as possible, I will wait for her here!"

Lisa Dilan took the order to go.

"You have all seen the murder here! Princess Felina was brutally murdered! Since Princess Anna did such a thing, I suspect that she is probably controlled by a heretic, or that she herself is the leader of a heretic..."

Li Ang pulled out his sword, looked around at the guards of the House of Nobles, and said loudly: "Now His Majesty and Knight Inna have gone in to investigate, and I will also bring people in to protect His Majesty's safety... But I am worried that some of you It’s a heretic follower—so I must take over the defense here until the truth is found out! You’d better put down your weapons and cooperate with me... Those who are still holding weapons after half a minute, I will directly regard them as heretics!”

The guards looked at each other, and then nodded. There is nothing wrong with Li Ang's statement. Of course, it is necessary to find out the murder.

The guards, who were at a loss at first, now received very clear instructions—this is an instruction issued by the Marshal of the Kingdom, and most importantly, this is an instruction that can exempt them from responsibility...

Li Ang suspected that Princess Anna was controlled by heretics, and further suspected that there were spies among the guards of the Noble House, so he asked to take over the defense, which was indeed quite reasonable.

And Li Ang's request is actually tantamount to keeping the guards out of the matter in order to prove their innocence.

So the guards put their weapons in front of Li Ang, and withdrew from the House of Nobles—because in this way, no matter what happens, these guards can be exempted from responsibility, and Marshal Li Ang will be responsible for the sky falling...
