Her movements, every frown, and every smile vividly portray how a woman grows from a village girl who is inexperienced in the world to a hero who fights against foreign enemies.
Holding a gorgeous long sword horizontally, pointing at the enemy on the opposite side, Barbara, wearing a set of women's armor, seemed to be shrouded in divine light.
With a solemn expression, she stood in front of the cross in the background and said loudly: "The Lord has called you and me, and will grant eternal life to mortals. You are sown until you bloom again! It is all God's will! Listen, heaven has sounded.
Ring the Holy Bell! Get ready to welcome new life!"
At this moment, a rapid and long bell rang in Lone Rock City.
The audience, immersed in the plot, did not feel panic at all when they heard the alarm bell. Instead, they cheered loudly.
As for Barbara, she frowned, glanced at the people behind the scenes, and found that the other person also had a puzzled expression.
The sound of the alarm bell became more and more urgent and louder. The audience finally realized that something was wrong and began to whisper among themselves.
At this time, a heavily armed light cavalry galloped on the road, beating the gong in his hand and shouting loudly: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The southerners are coming!"
Barbara put down the sword in her hand and looked at the audience in front of her, shouting and running away, with unstoppable panic and uneasiness in her eyes.
A strong arm stretched out from behind Barbara, hugged her waist, and took her away from the stage.
Randall avoided the rush of people, took the woman in his arms to a relatively safe corner, looked at the other party's pale face, and whispered: "Don't panic, as we agreed in advance, you go and tell the group
Chief, ask him to pack his bags immediately, throw away all unnecessary things, and leave Lone Rock City!"
Barbara bit her lip and nodded slightly.
Randall took out a palm-sized umbrella badge from his arms and handed it to Barbara: "Bring this to Knight Commander Horn and ask him to escort you back to Twilight City immediately!"
The clever Barbara heard the implication of Randall's words, grabbed the other person's arm, and said eagerly: "What do you want to do?"
"I want to stay."
"Stay? Are you crazy?!"
Randall hugged Barbara tightly in his arms and whispered: "I am not sure how long this city can resist the attack from the south. Rather than fleeing here with the troupe, it is better to stay."
Come down and buy time for you..."
Barbara raised her head and stared into Randall's eyes: "If you don't leave, I will stay too!"
Randall shook his head: "If you stay, I will always worry about your safety."
Before Barbara could say anything else, an earth-shattering explosion and a violent shaking made her tremble all over.
The two of them looked in the direction of the explosion, and saw fire and gunpowder smoke rising in the direction of the city gate of Lone Rock City.
At the gate of the outer city of Lone Rock City, an armored vehicle loaded with explosives was detonated with kerosene by the well-prepared defenders of Lone Rock City. It caused a huge explosion twenty meters outside the city gate, causing serious damage to both sides of the battlefield.
The military caused different ripples.
Because the Ayub Empire's army was close to the explosion point and had no barrier to withstand the explosion, nearly fifty people were killed or injured; while the defenders of Lone Rock City were well prepared and had solid city walls, and only four or five soldiers were injured due to the shock.
"That Garcia is right, the southerners are attacking..." Looking at the densely packed imperial soldiers under the city, and the huge pit in front of the city gate that is as deep as one person and more than 20 meters wide, the regent of Lone Rock City Zhan Ning
Suddenly, my scalp felt numb: "If it weren't for that guy's tip, the southerners might really be able to blow open the city gate."
"Sir, the enemy is coming again!"
Zhan Nings calmed down and turned his attention to the bottom of the city. A large number of imperial light cavalry jumped off their horses, lined up and raised their muskets.
With the sound of gunfire one after another, a burst of dust and gravel suddenly rose from the city wall.
Jennings hid behind the city pier and shouted to the messenger: "They are all cavalry. They have no artillery and only carry simple weapons. Let the archers enter the watchtower to shoot. The watchtower should always pay attention to the enemy's explosive carts!"
As orders were passed on one after another, the defenders of Lone Rock City entered their respective positions and began to attack the enemy.
The Ayyubid Empire's army only has more than a thousand people, and they are all cavalry. For mobility and surprise attack capabilities, they only carry basic light weapons and armor. But this group of southern troops who loudly chanted Allah, in the battle
The will and desire to win far exceeded Jennings' expectations.
An Ayyubid soldier who was climbing up a simple wooden ladder was shot into the shoulder by an arrow. He remained unmoved and continued to climb up the city wall. On the other hand, the soldiers in Lone Rock City were suppressed by muskets.
Without raising their heads, some timid people even huddled behind the wall and refused to show their heads.
The war lasted for nearly thirty minutes. Although Lone Rock City had advantages in the number of soldiers and terrain environment, it gradually lost the initiative on the battlefield due to the gap in morale and quality. Several soldiers from the Ayyubid Empire had even climbed up.
city wall.
Seeing this scene, Zhan Nings felt worried and couldn't help but sigh: Lone Rock City, which has not had a war for decades, is used to peace and comfort. Facing a sudden enemy, it no longer has the vigor of the past...
…
Thinking of this, Zhannings turned his head to the adjutant behind him and asked in a low voice: "Have all the messengers asking for help set off?"
The latter nodded and responded: "We are all setting off. The one closest to the royal city is Marquis Dorantal, who must have led his troops by this time."
Zhan Nings took a deep breath and shouted: "Herald! Order the Guards to come in and supervise the battle. If any soldiers are timid, they will be executed on the spot! Get these heretics to me from the city wall..."
Before Zhan Nings finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion behind the city wall.
A warrior wearing black armor and holding a sword and shield, under everyone's attention, actually jumped directly onto the towering city wall by running and climbing.
"God, his movements are like a nimble antelope!" The adjutant looked at the black-armored warrior and said in shock: "And he is also wearing heavy armor!"
The black-armored warrior waved the long sword in his hand, splitting the iron shield in the hand of an Ayyubid soldier, and then kicked the latter off the city wall; then, he kicked another Imperial soldier with his toes.
The soldier's knee, accompanied by a harsh bone cracking sound, the long sword penetrated the victim's chest without any delay.
The surprised Zhannings looked at the soldier's smooth attack and asked in amazement: "Who is he?!"
Everyone present shook their heads, no one knew.
Facts have proven that under the leadership of a lion, even the cowardly hyena will develop the courage to bite.
Under the influence of the heroic battles of the black-armored warriors, the soldiers of Lonely Rock City gradually gained fighting spirit. The latter shouted the glory of Heavenly Father and fought in melee with the enemies who climbed up the city wall, and relied on the advantages of numbers and terrain.
, gradually established a firm foothold, and finally drove the Ayyubid Empire army off the city wall in one go.
"Sir! We have won!"
Listening to the adjutant's shouts of joy and looking at the enemy soldiers on the city wall, Zhannings, who had not been in battle for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The regent of Lone Rock City has been tense since he learned the news of the invasion from the south, and now, he can finally relax for a moment.
"As soon as possible, let someone calculate the ratio of battle losses between the enemy and ourselves! Also, I want to meet that warrior!"
