"Your Majesty, Mayweather's army has begun to move. They are not preparing to defend the inner city, but are preparing to break out from the west gate. Moreover, I saw many people there that I had not found before!"
Jackson's voice rang in the system, and Ronan frowned after hearing this. The distance between the west gate and the inner city is the shortest, and it is indeed the best place to break out, and those common people...
Ronan had already vaguely guessed Mayweather's intentions. He couldn't help but frown even more tightly, and he was constantly making judgments in his mind. Then, Ronan gritted his teeth and cursed Mayweather for a few times in his heart before giving the order.
.
Since the enemy was not prepared to defend the inner city, it was meaningless for Ronan and Trezeguet to be here, so Ronan directly led his troops to evacuate outside the city.
"I let you escape this time, Mayweather, but next time, I will let you return it with interest!"
At the west gate, the soldiers who had received Ronan's order had given up their positions. Inside the west gate, the people were driven together with fear on their faces. Then an officer riding a war horse said to them:
"As soon as the city gate opens, you rush out, do you hear me? If you don't rush forward, our archers will shoot you to death!"
The common people were even more frightened. The cries and whispers of curses were mixed together, which made people very irritated. The officer immediately waved his riding crop and made a loud sound in the air, and then roared:
"Quiet, or I will kill you now!"
Following his words, the soldiers behind him immediately took a step forward and drew their weapons. The people were frightened and did not dare to cry anymore. They could only sob quietly.
The west gate slowly opened, and as expected by Ronan, the first people to rush out were the common people who were being held hostage. If Ronan's army did not give up their position, they would be rushed into the formation by these people. Even if Ronan's army did not move at all, it would be successful.
If Mayweather's army is blocked from trying to break through, then all these people will be dead, and it is basically impossible to leave a single person alive.
Ronan had planned before that it would not matter even if these people were injured during the siege, but if the people were allowed to be massacred, or participated in it, and let the soldiers kill these people coldly, it would be a disservice to the people who had always shown their love for the people.
Ronan's reputation outside will have a huge impact, because not all of these soldiers are Ronan's system soldiers, and it is impossible to block the news.
Reputation is Ronan's foundation. There is absolutely no need to damage his reputation and reduce the system's honor value income because of Mayweather who cannot escape. If the system's honor value income is reduced, it is equivalent to directly weakening Ronan.
It will also disrupt Ronan's plan and damage the glorious and majestic image Ronan has always created. A lot of things need to be done to make up for it in the future.
After the people rushed out of the city, Mayweather's army immediately opened the way with cavalry and charged out. Then they were surprised to find that Ronan's army ignored them at all and was just gathering the people. Mayweather's army didn't cause much trouble and just left the city.
After running far enough to the west, they settled down.
"This old fox has seized our lifeline. He is so insidious. He actually uses innocent people as a shield to restrict us!"
Magna said with a headache, Ronan said with a gloomy face:
"These people don't have any conscience in order to achieve their goals. It seems that I still underestimated their bottom line. But without fire prevention and massacre of people, Mayweather is already much stronger than those unscrupulous nobles."
Got it!"
"Intelligence shows that they stationed in the west for a while and then headed southwest again. Where is there another city that is still under their control?"
Trezeguet, whose shoulder had been bandaged, said, and Ronan leaned back slightly on his chair and responded:
"It seems that they have tasted the sweetness, but this time they will not be allowed to do so easily. Aldridge is already in place, and they cannot enter that city!"
With Jackson's reconnaissance, Ronan knew the movements of Mayweather's army clearly. He could guess their intentions by looking at their route, so he sent Aldridge to arrive there first with the fast cavalry troops.
A city.
All the cavalry removed the heavy armor from their horses and did not bring too much equipment or supplies. Then each cavalry brought a soldier. Even so, it was still faster than the movement speed of Mayweather's army.
few.
Mathias also followed, in order to capture the city quickly. Although Mayweather's army did not have many soldiers left behind, they still had to avoid accidents.
"Let's get going too, we can't let them go this time!"
Ronan stood up and said, then led his men out of the room, returned to the military camp and began to lead the troops towards where Mayweather was.
Two days later, looking at the city in front of them that looked like a twisted beast entrenched on the earth in the dark night, Aldridge and Matthias looked at each other.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, it's a good weather!"
Mathias said with a slight smile, and then cast another spell to evoke the black clouds, blocking out the last moonlight, leaving only a faint light from the burning brazier on the city wall.
Teams of assassins wearing pitch-black night clothes with their arms outstretched quickly moved toward the city wall under the cover of grass outside the city, without the soldiers on the wall noticing.
These vampire assassins quickly pressed their backs against the city wall, then took out a sleeve arrow and tied it to their arm. They quickly took two steps back. The sleeve arrow bounced out. The tapered arrow transformed into a hook in the air, and then died.
It got stuck on the battlements of the city wall. I reached out and pulled it to confirm that it was tight. The vampires immediately climbed up the city wall with the people behind them.
He quickly climbed up the city wall, then immediately transformed into a ball of mist, moved quickly on the city wall, and came to the back of the patrolling soldiers.
At this time, two patrol soldiers happened to be passing each other face to face. Looking at the vampire assassin who suddenly appeared behind their comrades, they both raised their arms and were about to scream when they were covered by a slender but powerful arm stretched out from behind.
Then he grabbed the patrol soldier's head with both hands and twisted it to the side, turning it into a 180-degree angle. He couldn't die anymore.
Holding the body and placing it slightly on the ground without making any sound, the vampire assassins then extinguished the burning brazier on this section of the city wall. It would take some time for patrols from other areas to patrol here.
Seeing that the brazier on the city wall was extinguished, Aldridge immediately waved his hand after receiving the signal. The soldiers who had been hiding behind him immediately rushed out of the hiding place, carrying the ladder and ran towards the city wall as fast as possible.
