Chapter 189 (1/2)

The remnants of the defeated Roland army, hundreds of them, dashed wildly towards Thunder City Many were covered in blood Some of theround Those that were not injured had throay their weapons and armor

Right then, even close coer cared about each other They could only think of getting to Thunder City as fast as possible

The soldiers were extres would have turned soft frohtened, the ht up!”

The scene then becath would run faster while the tired ones desperately hanged onto their nearby co

They thus ran helter-skelter for over an hour Many of theely though, the eneuised as Holy Knights, did not attack them immediately

Sieg did not feel like closing in to kill the was too lazy to chase down all these soldiers His priet to Thunder City fast

As for those Roland soldiers, just let them run!

If they had run towards the Pa would not bother with them at all as his task was to capture Thunder City It was fine as long as Thunder City was not forewarned The Roland soldiers running towards the Pamir Plain would be stopped by the Empire's main army

On the other hand, it would also be a joke for these soldiers to run towards Thunder City It was i God's Whip The Lightning God's Whip passed the the way When they felt like it they would slash and kill a fehen they were tired they just ignored them The lucky ones were left duht up with thenored them but continued their rush to the north

One of the Roland soldiers could not help but ask, ”Are these guys here to kill us or race with us?”

Sieg had not attacked this last group of soldiers He was not lazy; he just did not need to

Besides that, these hundreds of soldiers had been running for an hour The troops that were in formation earlier had spread out in disorder for one hundred th were in front while those ere tired were struggling at the back Naturally, some of the Roland soldiers were not stupid These looked for a tree or low-lying ground to hide in first before figuring out their next step

Running at the very front was a Roland officer that had stood guard at this last station He was, of course, the deputy commander The immediate superior had sacrificed hiht and had now returned to God's embrace

The deputy officer still had a few strong and trusted subordinates with hi the roads However, the night was dark and it was hard to see clearly

These soldiers felt relieved as they were not far from Thunder City This cavalry must be soldiers from Thunder City They ran towards the cavalry and called out excitedly The ht of the night they could finally hts' special armor, the black cloak and the special banner with a cross These were clearly the Holy Knight Regiment

The deputy officer's happiness i strange The Holy Knights had gone to the frontlines with the ht here?

Although he was still puzzled, he continued to run forward Those were his last few steps

Whoosh!+ An arro and penetrated the officer's neck He finally saw the real appearance of the cavalry in front of them Sht They were just like the enemies earlier They were all impostors!

The last soldier that fell thought to himself: Blindness1 can kill …

Rody shot that arroithout waiting for Kraft's orders Kraft just frowned and coldly looked at him He then shouted, ”Fire away!”

After that volley of arrows, most of the Roland soldiers that ran over were killed

Kraft then waved his hand and the cavalry rushed forward They rode to and fro twice to kill the rest of the Roland soldiers Rody did nothing as he regretted his earlier action Without any orders from the Deputy Commander he had shot the first arrow He had been a Duke for so long that his hands had moved out of habit In the army, those that acted without orders have violated the military law and would be punished

Kraft did not say anything but glanced at hi in defeat Looks like Sieg would be here soon”

Rody nodded his head and felt a strange feeling He had never cared when he was the Duke but now that he was just a small captain he had started to be overly cautious Perhaps it was huh status suddenly dropped to the bottom, there would be an indescribable sense of loss

One of Kraft's knights led a s's cavalry had also arrived Although Sieg was the Deputy Regient war period Hence, Kraftoff his horse

Sieg took a deep breath and looked at the sky before he asked, ”Commander Kraft Was your journey here smooth?”

Kraft replied, ”It went fairly well! There were no Roland guards on the road They have not discovered that road They probably also did not realize that we have already reached here”

Sieg nodded and sighed, ”Let us proceed a little bit more and then find a well-hidden spot to rest Recover so then thought for a moment and then he shouted, ”Captain Rody!”

Rody was suddenly aware, and immediately shouted, ”Yes!”

Sieg rode his horse slowly towards Rody's side He then carefully looked at Rody The more he looked at Rody, the weirder he felt However, he was unable to tell rong Sieg then shook his head and thought War was ongoing What was the point of thinking so hts then said, ”Captain Rody Take the Duke's teauards into the tunnel You and your men are the keys to our success in this battle!”

Rody felt unco was the one saluting hied

Far away, in the I his sto the Duke There are thousands of positions that he could have chosen but he took that of a small soldier I really do not know if his brain has a defect”

The night was silent Even though the Roland soldiers on the Thunder City wall had just rotated shi+fts, they were still sleepy The soldiers that were on patrol looked at the lazy soldiers sleeping on the ith envy in their eyes Who was the one that decided ould go on night patrol tonight? They jealously walked up to the lazy soldiers and kicked thelares as they continued their patrol They thought to theht?

The terrain of Thunder City was special An ordinary fortress would be squarish, surrounded by four walls However, Thunder City was not the same as the others

Thunder City only had walls and gates at the North and the South It only had talls as the other two sides were hills that were not very high, only about twenty meters tall Both hills faced the seaside and the sea water had eroded the rocks to form a cliff

In fact, Thunder City was not located in an open space

Across the coastal area of the Thunder Strait, was a long hilly rangeIt was a few kiloo this was part of the sea But later, through time it transformed into part of the land of the continent On both sides of thisand small rocks were scattered all over It was passable to e troops, horses or carriages

The Radiant Empire had specifically chosen this special terrain thousands of years ago They spent a lot of h the ap That was how Thunder City was built

At the s in Thunder City had been destroyed beyond recognition in the previous battle The Roland ar the city Instead, they des and used the material to reinforce the walls

That hy most of the land in Thunder City was flat and mostly filled with the barracks

It was dawn, the darkest hour before the sky turned bright It was also the time the soldiers felt the most tired

A dark figure slowly climbed out froure i cautiously left and right After that, more people started to climb out of the well Hundreds of people had cliroups and went into different directions

In the dark, Rody's s and approached the southern wall of the city The dozen or so uards that had beco on their familiarity with the city's terrain they hid in a ruined building, trying to stay hidden The Roland soldiers that were on patrol occasionally passed by theuessed that the enemy had already entered the city After all, there were another three or more checkpoints on the road south of Thunder City
