Chapter 515. A surprise attack after dusk

The time was approaching dusk, and the sky was getting dark.

At night at the wharf, except for the arrival or departure of merchant ships from time to time, there are no merchant ships for loading and unloading goods.

These need to wait until the next day.

In this era, productivity was very low, and there were no electric lights that could illuminate the entire dock as if it were daytime, and if you wanted to work at night, you had to light torches.

However, such a thing is not allowed.

The dense temporary warehouses on the docks, and the thousands and hundreds of merchant ships on the Rythniston River, are all made of wood.

Once there is a fire, no nobleman or business family dares to pat his chest and say that he can compensate for the heavy losses caused.

On the three-mile-long wharf, the middle mile is where the Lionheart City Navy Barracks is located.

On the east and west sides of the naval barracks, there is a mile each, which is where the wharf for merchant ships to dock for loading and unloading is located.

The entire "recessed" dock area of Lionheart City is the responsibility of the naval barracks.

There are 2,000 permanent troops in the naval barracks, all of whom are from the four top nobles in the southern county territory.

The safety of the docks can ensure the long-term prosperity of Lionheart, so these sailors can be regarded as elite.

Of course, it's just relative to the water bandits. After all, their duty, the most important thing, is to drive away and exterminate the water bandits.

In most cases, it is to drive away, and the water bandits are slippery and slippery, and it is very troublesome to exterminate.

Every week, the naval barracks sweep up and down the river to drive away the raging bandits.

At the same time, soldiers will also be sent into the docks on both sides of the barracks every day to garrison and patrol.

It's just that for more than ten years, it has been smooth and abnormal.

The patrolling and stationed soldiers were at best only settling and suppressing some commercial disputes, or warning the air to threaten the too unscrupulous dock gangs, and there was not a single regular engagement.

Therefore, the sailor soldiers who are still stationed in the special guard towers on both sides of the naval barracks at night are just passing the time.

Because there is nothing to do at night.

Tonight, it happened to be a crescent moon, the crooked crescent moon, emitting a dull light, the sky and the earth were dim and hazy, and 20 meters away it was completely dark, and nothing could be seen.

In a tributary near Lionheart on the Resniston River, Besture took the thumb and forefinger of his right hand in his mouth, blew hard and stopped, repeating this five times, whistling like a night owl cooing.

The entire fleet, thirty search and three columns of warships, and one hundred and twenty oars, turned into a moving shadow in the dark night, approaching the Resnsiston River, finally entering the Resnsiston River, and moving in the direction of Lionheart City to the east.

At the same time, in the middle of Lionheart, near the southern city wall, the "concave" shaped city wall is a slum near the south gate.

The proximity of the ghetto to the marina is beyond doubt. It is only by working the docks that they can survive.

Some tall and sturdy figures came out of the dilapidated houses in the slum and slowly gathered together, and they had agreed on a place long ago.

This time is the time that Bestool agreed with them.

When they came together, there were exactly fifty people.

They were all Saarion lion knights, and they were well equipped except for war horses and heavy four-meter-long knight spears.

Wearing a giant helmet with Saarion feathers, a linen robe underneath the pinnacle armor of the Cold Weapon Age, a full-covered plate armor, a Kirtha lion kite shield on his back, and a silver greatsword and mace held in both hands at his waist.

Even if they don't have war horses and spears, they are also the most pinnacle-level strong soldiers, and the single strength is comparable to the terrifying existence of the world's most pinnacle knights.

Talents: (1) Lion Physique: They have special strength and can increase their physical fitness by 250%. (2) Honor and belief: In the melee, it will be like a lion in the fierce battle, and the physical fitness will increase by 50%-300% with the delay of time. (3) Bloody battle: In battle, you can plunder the enemy's spirit to replenish your body and prolong the battle time.

This is a group of people who are naturally fit for the battlefield, and the army that is their enemy on the battlefield will fall into a terrible nightmare.

They were able to emerge neatly in the slums of Lionheart, thanks to the fact that Lionheart was the largest trading city in the Lion Principality.

The daily flow of people and cargo throughput is huge.

They can easily infiltrate Lionheart by threatening one or two caravans that frequented Lionheart, hiding their armors, helmets, shields, and weapons in the thick of the cargo, and pretending to be the caravan's guards.

Such a caravan is not only very familiar with the soldiers who inspect it, but also the filial piety that should be given is definitely in place a long time ago, and the goods transported are similar every time, so the soldiers who inspect the goods on their carriages are mostly pretentious and sloppy.

It was impossible to discover, hidden among the goods, the armor, helmets, shields and weapons of the Lion Knights of Saarion.

As for the Sarion Lion Knights who were disguised as guards, they didn't even look at each other.

They are dealing with the leaders of the caravans, and as for the guards, are they qualified to let the soldiers of the oily city gates, which are the most prosperous cities of the Duchy of Lion, waste time to observe carefully?

Although Lionheart City is adjacent to the Resniston River, it has a defense line on the south bank to prevent the Silverpan Kingdom from invading northward.

There is a city in the north, and the ruler of the Lion Principality, Grand Duke Cameron, is based in the Lion Castle, and no one dares to offend.

Lion City itself is also garrisoned by tens of thousands of elite troops of the four top nobles of Nanjun, and the city is high and thick.

Does anyone dare to really fight the idea of Lionheart?

Therefore, Lionheart City's inventory is really lax.

Lionheart City, more than 20 miles long and wide, is the largest city in the Lion Principality.

On the east, south, west, and north walls, there is a city gate on each side, and each city gate is garrisoned by a family private soldier sent by a top nobleman of the southern county leader.

Each gate was spacious, measuring more than twenty meters.

Lionheart was originally built according to the standards of a trading city, and the wide gates were convenient for horse-drawn carriages to enter and exit.

Above the city gate, there are towers and arrow towers, which can garrison more than 200 soldiers at the same time.

On the walls on both sides of the castle tower, there are also wide gallop passages, which can be sent to defend from a high position.

Even though Lionheart is a trading city, if anyone dares to attack the city, they will definitely suffer heavy losses under the strong and tall walls.

However, in normal times, the private army of the four nobles led by Nanjun only sent two hundred soldiers to garrison the city tower and arrow tower.

That's enough.
