Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 868 The City Lord's Promise

Yang Bo finished the game and was eating and drinking with Su Wei, Annie and Xiya.

Outside the Green City in the second world, the thieves' camp finally quieted down.

These members of the bandit gang watched helplessly as the lights on the city wall lit up.

In my ears I could hear the wailing of my own members; they were treating their wounds.

There was a general feeling of frustration because everyone knew that those damn guys on the wall were repairing the damage done during the day.

Yesterday, the thieves were very proud and confident, thinking they could make a fortune this time.

Because 30 catapults and tens of thousands of stone bullets are enough to break the city wall in front of them.

As long as the stone bullets break the bricks and stones on the outer edge of the city wall, the inner wall will naturally collapse.

But unexpectedly, after just one night, the situation took a dramatic turn.

What do the thieves gather together for? Of course, to make money and for gold coins.

Now you can see that it is impossible to get rich, and there is also the risk of injury and death.

Of the hundreds of people who were responsible for the sneak attack tonight, almost everyone who returned was wounded by arrows, and some were seriously injured with several arrows sticking out of their bodies.

As for those who can’t come back, let alone.

What’s more important is that there are 5 fewer catapults!
Of course, no one has confidence now whether there are trebuchets or not.

Naturally, some people began to back out.

In a tent inside the camp, there were the same four men who were drinking with the women last night. Their mood was completely different from last night. Tonight, all four of them looked sad.

"Of the people who participated in the sneak attack, 32 did not return, and the remaining 90 or so were all injured, half of whom were seriously injured!" said a middle-aged man with silver hair who was in charge of the catapult.

Originally, a trebuchet would not require so many people, but everyone pushed the trebuchet over at night, and then had to push it back quickly after the sneak attack, so so many people were prepared.

"Insidious, shameless, despicable and cunning, just like the Green family." Another bald middle-aged man started cursing.

The other two people were a thin man with long black hair and a fat man with short, slightly curly black hair.

"We have discussed this plan and have been preparing for five years." The fat man with slightly curly black hair and a red scarf around his neck was a leader of the Red Turban Thieves Gang.

The Red Turban Thieves Gang is spread all over the continent, and each region has a leader. No one knows who the real leader of the Red Turban Thieves Gang is.

This big leader is the head of the Red Turban Thieves Gang in the Red Maple Leaf Kingdom.

"We paid nearly 30 gold coins for catapults." The silver-haired middle-aged man felt distressed when he thought of the price his family had paid.

These trebuchets had to be purchased, disassembled and transported, and a site had to be prepared upstream of the river.

"This is all just your own little calculations. If the catapult is used this time, you can use it a second or third time, but don't count it in our operation this time." The thin man with black hair said it directly without giving any face.

This thin guy is the second leader of the Tiger Thieves Gang.

"What should we do now? No matter how much we smash during the day, they will repair it at night!"

"Our supplies will only last for a week at most!"

"I suggest using a burning ball!"

"Don't use the burning ball unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Keep fighting for two more days. If it doesn't work on the fourth day, we'll use the burning ball." The silver-haired middle-aged man and the bald man wanted to take over Green City, so they rejected the request of the two leaders of the thieves' gang, but they also stated their bottom line.

"It's decided then. If we can't break through the city wall on the fourth day, our two families will withdraw first." The fat man from the Red Turban Thieves said bluntly.

Being able to be the leader of a gang of thieves definitely requires some ability.

If it weren't for the cooperation with the two noble families this time, and the other side had catapults, it would have been impossible for him to attack Green City.

For a group of thieves, preserving their strength is the most important thing. If the situation goes wrong, run away immediately.

Yesterday, these four people were still talking confidently about getting rich and drinking together, but today they were talking about preparing to leave.

“Our family has invested so much, we can’t just let it go like this!” The silver-haired middle-aged man shook his head.

"Not only do we have special incendiary bombs, we also have poisonous smoke bombs that can release poisonous smoke."

"The poison smoke bomb will be more powerful in an environment like Green City."

"I suggest we continue smashing things tomorrow. If the situation isn't right, we can use poison smoke bombs the day after tomorrow." The leader of the Tiger Thieves Gang said.

"why?"

"You'll know tomorrow!"

The next morning, the four men saw the situation and understood what the leader of the Tiger Bandits had said last night. Because of the watering and the fact that the sun was still warm during the day, some melted water spread a wide distance at the base of the city wall.

In the golden sunlight in the morning, you can see that a wide section of the wall below is a very smooth mirror surface. You can see how slippery it is.

"Then we'll continue to attack for a day. On the one hand, we'll paralyze the enemy, and on the other hand, we'll try our best. If it doesn't work, we'll use smoke bombs and incendiary bombs tomorrow!" The four people finally reached a consensus.

Yang Bo was standing on the city wall at this time and saw four people from afar.

The main thing is that there is a bald head among them which is very conspicuous under the sunlight.

These four people looked like ordinary thieves judging by their dress, but the other thieves were busy doing things, and only these four were standing there. How could they be ordinary thieves? Moreover, these four people did not notice that when others walked past them, they walked behind them.

"This disguise ability is too poor. The red scarf on the fat man's neck is probably the commander of the Red Scarf Thieves Group this time."

"The middle-aged man with silver hair was the one standing next to the catapult yesterday. Looking at his well-combed hair, he must be from a noble family!"

"That thin guy is most likely the commander of the Tiger Bandits."

"This bald man should be a member of another noble family. The nobles' standing posture is different from others. This is an unintentional manifestation of etiquette training they have received since childhood."

Yang Bo analyzed the four people one by one.

"Handy, this is for you!" The city lord took out a monocular brass telescope and handed it to Yang Bo.

"You have to be careful, this is worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Such a large and clear piece of crystal is very valuable, and it has to be made by a jeweler." The city lord warned carefully.

Yang Bo looked at the brass telescope inlaid with rubies, sapphires and emeralds.

"Sir, I have roughly identified several important figures among them." Today, Yang Bo repeated his analysis to the city lord.

"Very good, you keep a close eye on them, I want them alive, especially those two nobles. If you can catch one of them, I will guarantee you a viscount title!" The city lord heard Handy's analysis, because as long as the two nobles were caught, the families behind them would pay a very painful price, and the Green family would turn defeat into victory.

"I'll try my best, but I'll need more arrows. These two men must have a lot of guards around them."

"no problem!"

Yang Bo used a monocular telescope to carefully observe the bandit group's camp and soon discovered some clues.

That is, there are some places in the bandit group that everyone else avoids, and there seems to be a sense of separation from the entire bandit group. It’s just that this area is near the river.

"Pay attention to see if the other party has any other means. After all, the city lord took out something like a rocket last night!"

"I didn't have a chance to ask the city lord how the rocket was made. Maybe it was brought by a game player. After all, this game has been open for many years."

The group of thieves this morning were like crazy, with catapults constantly throwing stones at the city walls.

Even the people on the Green City wall felt the wall shaking from being hit.

The four targets that Yang Bo locked onto were watching from a distance.

The infantry of the bandit group was also fully armed and on alert, and they placed chevaux de frise outside the catapult position.

The cavalry of the bandit group was also ready at a distance to prevent people from Green City from coming out.

"What are these things?" Yang Bo discovered that these things were hidden in the camp. Only the leader of the people with the catapults could go in and out, and the other three people could not enter. However, someone took something out from inside, and the other three people took a look and nodded with satisfaction.

"Sir, what else can a catapult throw besides catapults?" Yang Bo followed the principle of asking if he didn't understand something, so he went directly to the city lord to ask.

"The trebuchet can throw a lot of things!"

"You can throw some rotten animal carcasses, which will bring plague diseases."

"You can also throw a burning ball. After it breaks, the things inside will burn. What did you discover?" The city lord asked Handy.

"One corner of their camp is heavily guarded. I doubt whether he has any weapons that can cause chaos in our city." Yang Bo told the truth.

"That's impossible! This was made by the kingdom's special confidentiality department." The city lord said in disbelief when he heard this.

"Sir, just in case."

"This area near the city wall, all the buildings in the city are covered with water."

"Okay!" When the city lord heard Handy's words, he agreed without hesitation, because Handy was a lucky rabbit hunter and had brought him good luck several times.

So the buildings in this area of ​​the city, especially those close to the city wall, also began to be watered.

This time, the fire-fighting water truck was used, but it was only pouring boiling water.

All the roofs and walls near this area are covered with a thick layer of frozen armor.

Of course, there were some downsides, like a thick layer of ice formed on the ground, and we had to sprinkle a thick layer of sand on top of the ice.

"We will continue to use stone bombs in the first hour tomorrow morning, and incendiary bombs after an hour." At night, the four members of the thieves looked at the brightly lit city wall. This meant that all their efforts during the day had gone to waste, and the other party's state of working with torches was obviously a mockery.
