The early morning in Gugu Port was peaceful and quiet, with a few sailing ships parked in the port. There had been no war in this place for a long time, and even the port's defense force was weak to almost non-existent, let alone daily patrols on the sea.
The chief of guard stayed overnight in a prostitute and did not return home all night. The soldiers at the port observation tower simply followed suit and left their posts to find places to catch up on their sleep.
The huge fleet from Muxi City sailed into the harbor in such an environment. The fleet was getting closer and closer to the mouth of the bay, and no one stopped or warned it from the beginning to the end.
It was not until the collision angle of the ship broke through the berth rope and rushed directly onto the plank road that a huge sound spread throughout the entire port area, and the sleeping sentries were awakened. They rubbed their sore eyes and saw one group after another.
When the soldiers of the team stepped onto the ground from the lowered springboard, they had a ghostly look on their faces, and their mouths were wide enough to fit an egg in.
As more and more soldiers gathered at the port, the alarm bell on the watchtower finally rang, and the entire ancient city was disturbed by sharp and ear-piercing shouts.
"The enemy invaded from the sea!"
"The enemy's fleet can't be seen at a glance, and it has blocked the entire harbor!"
"The enemy is the Kingdom of Connaught. They bypassed the Northern Sea and launched an attack on us!"
True and false intelligence was like a ladle of water in a boiling pot, plunging the entire city into complete chaos. As a result, most of the landing force had already assembled at the port, and the Ulstermen had not yet launched any attack.
Todd was a little surprised by the good situation in front of him. In his opinion, the port landing battle should be a very fierce and tough battle, but in the end, it only took twenty minutes for Mu Xi's army to completely control the entire port.
"According to the original plan, the first army attacked the port guard camp, the second army blocked the exit of the inner city, and the third army advanced along the street towards the city gate!"
After giving this order, Todd turned over and mounted the griffin, and nodded to the other nine people who were ready to go: "Let's go!"
The ten manned griffons flapped their wings vigorously and flew into the sky, clutching huge wooden boxes tightly on their paws.
Flying over the city, chaotic and noisy crowds can be seen everywhere in the streets and on the terraces.
Todd looked at the position of the city wall in the distance, estimated the distance and time, and then led the other nine people to fly towards the city gate.
The city gate of Gugu City adopts the old double winch gate design, which is strong but troublesome to use.
To lower the city gate, only one person needs to loosen the winch; but to raise the city gate, it requires at least four people to work together to push a circular rotating shaft.
Ten griffons flew over the city gate, and slowly landed on the ground under the gaze of the stunned defenders. They first put the boxes on their talons on the ground, and then waited for the passengers on their backs to turn over.
Todd was standing in the inner urn passage of the city gate. Not far behind him was the winch of the city gate, and in front of him was the square of the city gate barracks. He looked at the enemy soldiers around him who seemed to be under a restraining spell, and he didn't panic.
He hurriedly drew his weapon.
At this time, an enemy finally remembered and shouted: "Enemy attack!"
Todd tied the handle of the shield to his wrist and said in a deep voice: "Evie, take someone with you to occupy the winch room! Jerry, you and I will guard the corridor and block the enemy's reinforcements!"
The passage leading to the winch frame at the top of the city gate is only two meters wide. Without considering long-range weapons, it is completely possible for "one man to block the barrier and no one to open it".
Seeing the ten people falling from the sky and dividing some of them to attack the winch room, no matter how stupid the enemy is, they will know what is going on.
"Attack! Charge up! Don't let them control the winch!" A man who looked like a commander shouted loudly towards Todd and others.
The soldiers guarding the city gate rushed toward the corridor like crazy. Everyone among them had heard about what happened at the port, and they all understood the consequences if these people captured the city gate.
Todd struck with his shield, first hitting the soldier at the front. With the sound of his skull cracking, he stretched out his right foot and kicked the unlucky man down the stairs, knocking down countless enemy soldiers.
Little Jerry's attack method is much simpler. The weapon he uses is a folding dragon gun used to resist the charge of heavy cavalry. When fully unfolded, it is more than four meters long. With the natural huge strength and the assistance of the keel, the heavy
The dragon spear weighing a hundred kilograms was as light and flexible as a bamboo pole in his hand.
A shot was fired, and a group of people were swept to the ground. Another shot was hit, and even the heavy infantry wearing armor was hit with brains flying everywhere.
Finally, there are the Valkyries. Their movements when fighting are not like fighting for their lives, but more like dancing; no matter what kind of weapons the enemy uses, long swords, flails, or iron spears, they can always use the smallest movements to avoid them.
Every attack of the enemy. In the same way, when they launch an attack, they can always evaluate the terrain, wind direction, position, distance and other factors, and launch the most deadly attack with the least risk.
Todd looked at the movements of these Valkyries and couldn't help but think of their superpower - "Time Delay". The superpower can slow down the flow of time to one-tenth or even one-fiftieth of the original speed.
.
From the perspective of these Valkyries, the world is like a space in slow motion. The speed of the sword blade is as slow as a snail crawling. The trajectory of the spear head in the air can easily determine the impact point and strength.
The battle lasted for a while, and Todd and his party, who were responsible for blocking the enemy, did not even have a single wound. However, the number of casualties among the guards exceeded 30. The dead bodies were piled up in the front section of the corridor, making it difficult to even find a place to set foot.
The city gate commander finally couldn't stand it anymore. Dozens of archers were mobilized at the entrance of the corridor, and arrows like locusts pounced on Todd and others.
Little Jerry, the dragon bone armors on the Valkyries began to extend countless parasite limbs, entangled and tied into solid shields in front of everyone.
The arrow hit the "Insect Shield", making a tinkling sound like a rainstorm of pear blossoms, but in the end it did not cause any damage.
The mad city gate commander ordered a small bed crossbow to be rolled out from the armory and pointed in the direction of the corridor.
Todd looked at the iron crossbow bolt that was one meter long and as thick as a thumb, his face sank, and for the first time a solemn look appeared on his face.
"Get out of the way! The armor of the keel can't resist this kind of weapon!" Todd pushed aside the people in front of him, looked at the siege weapon that was ready to go, and walked to the front of the team without fear.
Following the commander's order, the huge iron crossbow carried frightening kinetic energy and made a huge cracking sound in the air, aiming straight for Todd's face.
What surprised the commander was that a huge black monster suddenly appeared in the corridor, with one hand firmly grasping the front end of the crossbow bolt, and cold white frost looming in its mouth.
At this moment, a loud noise came from the winch room, and the gate hanging high in the air slammed to the ground. This scene officially meant that Gugu City had shut out all reinforcements.
