Chapter 12 The Fangs Thieves
The lord castle in Blackhawk Town is brightly lit.
Knight Morris, with ten trainee knights, and dozens of militia, was fully armed and vigilantly surrounding the castle walls and patrolling carefully.
There were many traps in the backyard of the castle, and there were also arrangements for Zebra to lead three trainee knights, and more than a dozen militia guarded there.
On this side of the main gate is Knight Morris, who personally led his men to protect him.
Several crossbowmen were also arranged to lurk in several dark corners on the roof of the castle to prevent thieves from climbing to the top of the tower to attack.
Now the entire castle is highly vigilant inside and outside, and everyone looks extremely nervous.
Although everyone was well prepared and had twenty armor-breaking crossbows, everyone was still a little frightened for no reason when facing the notorious Fanged Thieves.
Sean stood on the roof with a serious expression, wearing tough and fitted leather armor. The two apprentice knights were wearing light armor, each holding a thick and thick horse shield that was close to the top to protect the Lord, so as to prevent the Lord from being shot by the thief's hidden arrows.
The loyal castle housekeeper, Old John, although he has no combat power, always waits behind Sean. If he encounters danger, he will pounce in front of him without hesitation and use his body to block it.
Sean stood in the shadows, looking at the burning torches on the wall, his face also became a little gloomy and unstable.
According to time calculations, it is probably past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
But until now, the Fanged Thieves' team has no use to appear.
"Will they not come to attack tonight?"
Sean frowned, feeling a little confused.
With the cunning and suspicious character of the Fanged Thieves, they will definitely sneak into Black Hawk Town to spy on Xushi before attacking the territory.
I have been conducting closed training these two days, and at night I have made great efforts to make the entire castle brightly lit. Anyone would have been suspicious.
But if you don't do much, you will be very passive.
The only thing I can expect now is to hope that the thieves are arrogant and bet that they think they are bluffing.
As long as you bet right, your plan will be successful tonight.
He looked back at Old John and found that he was still standing there and refused to leave. He immediately frowned and said, "Old John, I have said that you can go back to the castle to hide so that you can avoid being accidentally injured by the thief."
"No, no, I won't go down."
Old John shook his head firmly and said, "I just want to be with the master here."
"what ever."
Sean had no choice but to let him do it.
At this moment, a commotion came from the courtyard wall downstairs. Then, Morris's low warning voice was heard, "Come on, the thieves are coming soon, everyone is ready for battle!"
Hearing this, Sean's heart moved and hurriedly looked towards the front of the castle gate.
I saw the street ahead was dark and I could not see anything.
At this time, everyone felt the ground under their feet trembling slightly. It was obvious that from the rapid and neat sound of horse hooves in the distance, there were still quite a lot, at least dozens of iron hooves.
As the sound of horse hooves became more and more obvious, everyone finally heard the direction of the sound of horse hooves.
It is right in front of the castle gate, which is from the narrow streets of Black Hawk Town.
Suddenly, when it was still a hundred meters away from the castle, the neat and rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, I heard a sound of gold and iron turning over and dismounting, as well as the sound of armor and weapons colliding.
With a burst of rapid and dull footsteps, they quickly approached. The people guarding the castle finally saw the scene ahead. Suddenly, everyone in the castle became nervous for no reason.
Sean took a deep breath and looked forward hard.
I saw an extremely tall and majestic thief holding a heavy sword in his hand and leading more than 30 black-armored thieves, like a group of ghosts suddenly appearing from the darkness, entering the range of the castle lights.
In addition to the heavy giant sword in his hand, the leading thief also wore a hideous fang-faced helmet on his huge head. I guess he is the leader of the Fang-Tooth Thieves Group.
As for the group of black-armored thieves following closely behind Fangs, they all looked cold, holding a shield in their left hand and a knife in their right hand. The sharp long sword flashed with a terrifying light under the reflection of the fire.
The thieves all showed fierce auras all over their bodies, and they rushed towards the castle gate with murderous aura.
Soon, the group of vicious thieves entered the castle gate within fifty meters.
At this time, Sean roared according to the battle plan he had formulated with Morris, "Shoot the arrow!"
In an instant, eight archers ambushed on both sides of the courtyard wall picked up wooden bows and fired them in scattered ways.
The crossbow is Sean's trump card for ambushing the thieves. They will not show it before the time comes.
This wooden bow shooting is mainly to confuse the enemy.
Sure enough, facing several soft arrows shot out from the castle, the thieves raised their shields and weapons and blocked them effortlessly.
Before the archers in the castle were waiting for the second round of archery, the leader's Fang smiled arrogantly and said, "I guess right, they were indeed bluffing, the Grizzly Bear, rushed up to break the wall!"
"Yes, the leader!"
With a command, he saw a strong man two meters tall rushing out of the thieves. The strong man held a giant axe to open the mountain and roared, "One attack to open the mountain and break it!"
With a "huh", the giant axe was raised high, and then a gray fighting spirit shone in the air, slashing hard at the thick wooden wall with a thunderous force.
There was only a dull "boom" sound, and the thick wooden wall as high as two meters was instantly split into a big hole between two people by a giant axe, causing the thieves following behind to cheer and roar.
The Fang leader waved his giant sword and laughed wildly: "Brothers, rush into the castle, kill all the nobles and knights, and steal all the things and women..."
Seeing this, Sean, who was standing on the roof, shouted in horror: "Captain Morris, hurry up and take people back to the castle, guard the inner door, and do not let the thieves rush in."
With his words, Sean immediately retreated into the castle under the escort of two trainee knights.
At the same time, Morris had already led all the combatants to retreat into the castle hall as quickly as possible.
Outside the wall of the castle, the Fang Commander led all the thieves into the wall like a wolf or a tiger. Looking at the heavy inner door of the castle, it had been closed firmly. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a cruel smile, and murmured to himself:
"Hehehehe... It's interesting tonight. This Baron Sean seems to be smarter and more cunning than the lords before. It's good. I like to try new challenges, come and score me..."
In the castle hall, Morris led all the people and all gathered here. Sean stood at the end of the team, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. I don’t know if it was because of nervousness or excitement.
Twenty elite men led by Morris and Zebras, holding crossbows and under the escort of a group of militia holding horse shields, set up a strange offensive and defensive formation.
Twenty armor-breaking crossbows that were ready to be fired have already been aimed at the closed inner door. As long as the thieves break into the door, there will be heavy casualties and injuries inside and outside the narrow gate courtyard.
At that time, they have no place to escape.
At this moment, outside the door, the thieves were surging fiercely, and they were yelling and carrying logs as thick as legs hit the door.
Bang!
With a dull impact sounded, the relatively solid door began to shake and tremble.
There was a vague clamor from the thief leader outside. "You useless guys, it seems that you have been lying on the woman's belly for too long during this period. You can't even break the door like this. Back up and let me do it!"
