Burt swam forward, but the boat had been punctured and left in the serrations of the lock. Fortunately, everyone else managed to escape by jumping into the water to avoid being trapped. He grabbed a large smashed wooden board, climbed up with all his strength, raised the bloody giant sword, and slashed through the door made of black iron, destroying the cold grid to create a large hole that he could pass through. The sound of the giant sword attacking the gate immediately attracted the attention of the archers on the top of the city, and they began to shoot at Bert.
He grabbed the half-cut railing, and the cold temperature spread from his fingers to his heart. Bert gritted his teeth and turned inside. The arrow remained on the board he was on, making the board look like a hedgehog covered in thorns. The archers cursed unwillingly, and the officers immediately sent a large number of infantry to the waterway to intercept the ships.
Lear looked back and saw Bert risking his life by jumping into the gate, falling into the city wall and into the waterway leading into the city. He couldn't help but cursed, and immediately called out to Jersted: "Jerstang! That idiot Bert jumped into the gate."
¡°You worry-free bastard.¡± Jessdown roared. He turned and swam towards the gate. At this time, the river water was already slightly red, which was the blood shed by the Atak people who were unfortunate enough to be shot. Jessdown suddenly felt a trace of sadness and pain from deep in his heart, and the Atak people began to kill each other. This was an incredible drama.
There are still two corpses floating on the river. They were shot by arrows in the back and could no longer support themselves in the woods. Others were lucky enough to escape the arrows, or were still strong enough to survive and successfully hid in the woods dozens of meters away. Currently, there are only two people left alive in this river of crime, Lear and Jestang. They kept swimming towards the lock, intending to jump in through the hole that Bert had previously destroyed and save the trapped ship and Bert.
The soldiers on the wall will not waste such a good opportunity. The arrows are cheap and they can shoot at will. Jessdown knew how to swim and immediately jumped into the river. Lear and River are good friends and can breathe underwater many times longer than the others. The druid swam swiftly through the water, like a real salmon, coming and going with ease.
But their way forward was blocked by the gate. In order to prevent enemy ships from entering, the gate's grid was very narrow and could only allow small fish to pass through. Currently, they can only pass through the gap created by Burt.
Jestang jumped out of the water first. He did not intend to leave the danger to Leer. A burst of prepared arrows forced the dark mage back. The movement speed of arrows underwater is greatly slowed down. Although today's technology can greatly weaken the impact of running water on arrows, how can the power of nature be easily offset?
Leer drank some water, so he coughed a few times when he came out of the water. He grabbed the railing, climbed up, and then jumped into the gap that Bert had created before, successfully entering the gate. Jestang felt a little lack of oxygen and felt uncomfortable with his hair and clothes getting wet, so he put in more effort than Biel.
Furthermore, his mage robe was pierced by arrows, and a long wound was cut on his thigh. In the cold environment, the pain from the wound was even more severe, and he felt a very cold air entering his body.
The waterway in the gate is very dark, and the light source can only shine through the narrow grid, projecting on the water like spots. Jestang and Lier swam forward vigorously, feeling nervous because they could hear the sounds of fighting ahead.
Leal summoned a vine, which clung to the brick. The druid grabbed the vines and climbed up, holding on to the vines and walking against the wall. Jessdown was envious of this ability, so he also grabbed the vines and moved forward slowly. The boat Larov was on had already parked at the small dock. At this time, they were having a fierce hand-to-hand battle on the boat. Enemies kept rushing across the side boarding, engaging in life-and-death fights with other soldiers, and several bodies had been thrown off the ship.
"We have to help quickly." Lear transformed into a werewolf, let go of his arms, and joined the battlefield. As soon as he appeared, he knocked down a charging Atak soldier, knocking the enemy into the water and causing a splash. Both sides were shocked. After seeing Leer's appearance, Larov and the others immediately became happy, while the enemy's morale was somewhat demoralized.
Druids have a strong physique to begin with, and when they transform into werewolves, they have very powerful hand-to-hand combat capabilities. Most druids know how to transform into half-animal, half-human forms, and how to use the surrounding plants to kill enemies. Faced with such a powerful profession, most people have no choice but to fail. In the Europa continent where barbarians live, it is precisely because everyone is afraid of offending the Druids that they will have the tragic fate of being eaten by a strange beast on their way home, so the Druids have a very high status. . Many battle cases show that druids have amazing abilities.
Leer is of course also a qualified Druid. As soon as he joinsDuring the battle, soldiers who wanted to break through the defense felt more pressure. After taking their casualties, their targets moved to both sides of the ship. Many soldiers who knew how to swim jumped into the cold river water and prepared to climb up from both sides. Larov also ordered to try to remove the side planks put up by the opponent to avoid being attacked from multiple sides. But the soldiers on the other side fixed the side planks and prevented Raloff from taking them down.
The werewolf jumped out, and Leal scratched the board with his claws, and then hit it hard. At this moment, the board immediately shattered, and Leer staggered and fell on the board. At the same time, an unknown enemy took out a mace and threw it hard on Leer's forehead. Leer felt a sharp pain. Then there was blood all over his face.
He felt unsteady when walking and suddenly fell into the water. Lear grabbed the rocks at the bottom of the pier and exposed his mouth, nose and eyes to the water. His consciousness was a little blurred and he could only temporarily ensure that he could observe his surroundings.
Jestan also landed on the ship, and his magic helped Raloff and the others greatly. At this time, the boat began to slowly turn around and move backward. Bert, who was already out of breath, got a chance to take a breather. He suddenly realized that Lear was struggling in the water, so he didn't even bother to sit for a while. Although he knew that Lear couldn't freeze to death or drown, he couldn't. He still jumped into the water and swam towards Lear. The Druid forced out a smile when he saw Bert, who was soaked and slightly injured.
¡°I thought they would entertain us in a friendly way with bread and berry wine.¡± Leal put his paw on Bert¡¯s shoulder.
"But they unexpectedly attacked us with arrows and swords." Bert grabbed Lear's arm.
"I think they are from the eldest prince's side, and they are just waiting to give us a heads-up." Lear sighed, "The Atak people actually started attacking the Atak people. It is really a sad thing. I think what if If something went wrong in this link, we would all be trapped in the river now, unable to survive."
"Their plan is really superb. As long as we relax our vigilance, they can catch us all." Bert grabbed the hull of the boat and slowly climbed up. Lear rubbed his head and followed Bert onto the deck.
"Fire!" They heard someone shouting on the small dock and immediately turned their attention to each other.
I saw that the dark river was suddenly filled with a burst of red light. Countless soldiers holding torches rushed down the stairs and went to the dock to burn the boat on which Larov and the others were sitting. Once the ship is destroyed, they are easily defeated in the water. Following the leader's roar, countless torches drew red trails in the air and landed on the ship. Ralof had ordered everyone to abandon the ship and escape more than ten seconds ago.
This order is undoubtedly correct. As soon as the flames come into contact with the wooden ship, the part exposed above the water is immediately enveloped in flames. The red light illuminated the dark interior of the city wall, and also illuminated everyone's helpless faces. Originally, they were supposed to walk to the pier and follow the stairs to the ground to boost the morale of the defenders of Tiger Step City.
But now, they are like fish that cannot get a chance and keep swimming in the water. More arrows were thrown onto the water, hitting several people. You can hear the wounded gasping in pain as they hold in their pain. The sound of arms and legs paddling through the water can be heard. In such a dark environment, they fell into chaos for a while.
"What to do next?" Larov asked himself. In such a bad situation, storming the dock would be a dead end; swimming out from the gate would also have to face intensive attacks from a large number of archers on the city. There would be many People were injured and bleeding, and many died with severe pain and scars all over their bodies. This is not what he wants to see.
"Rebels!" On the dock, a voice full of justice and majesty echoed penetratingly in Larov's ears. With the sound of weapons and armor rubbing against each other, about fifty heavy infantrymen rushed to the pier in an aggressive manner and put their weapons on the necks of the soldiers who were trying to kill Larov. The leader of these unexpected visitors was a noble man wearing gorgeous armor, holding a sharp sword in his hand, looking mighty and noble.
"Your Highness the Second Prince!" A warrior beside the noble said loudly. He seemed to be an excellent warrior. "I'm sorry for the bad impression Hubu City gave you. Please come to the dock quickly. We have already put the rebellion in order." If the perpetrators are brought under control, they will get the punishment they deserve. I think their houses will be burned to the ground and their gold coins will be confiscated."
"I want to know who you are." Larov asked cautiously.
"Claudette Crislin," the noble said, "Your Highness, the Second Prince, we will ensure your safety and explain this attack We will not let the rebels go easily."
