My Magic Age
Chapter 946 47. Crisis at the Pier
Connorson City was in chaos, with cries and sounds of killing everywhere.
I was worried that the city gates were completely controlled by the rebels, and it would cost us more to rush out of the city.
As long as the rebels in the city could hold on until the fleet that went out to sea returned victoriously, our plan of "sea migration" would be ruined.
There were nine ships anchored at the dock, two Galleon-class sailing ships and seven five-masted sailing ships, which meant that as long as there was an army of more than a thousand people at the dock, it was a pity that when the rebel governor of Connorson City brought his guards to gather the remnants in the city, he met us and died under the Paglio sword of Knight Lant.
I didn't even see his face clearly, I only remembered that the exquisite leather armor on his body was very gorgeous, and the guards around him were extremely brave. Although they were killed by Knight Lant, the strength they showed should not be underestimated.
The most unfortunate thing about this archon was that he actually had a street fight with us. Yes, in this narrow alley, only ten soldiers could stand side by side. With such a large-scale charge, no one could stop the sharp edge of the Lant Knights.
Pull off the exquisite leather armor from the rebels, regardless of whether it was still stained with blood, quickly put it on, pick up the weapons on the ground, and the prisoners rescued from the prison immediately became new forces.
Our team is constantly growing, and the sailors are excitedly howling loudly, venting their excitement.
Maybe the victory came too easily, and there is a blind self-confidence in the team. No matter where there are rebels, the people who rush to the front will raise their weapons without hesitation and kill them, and then like waves, one after another, they will eventually turn those rebels into foam.
But this team was out of control. Some sailors rushed to the front, just to chop down the rebel guards as soon as possible and loot their bodies first. Obviously, the rebel guards had some property in their pockets, which was worth the sailors' risk.
I asked Kalancuo to restrain the sailors on the "Slave Trader" as much as possible, and asked them to pay attention to the formation when marching in the city.
Although many red-eyed sailors complained and complained, they did not dare to say words of protest in person under Kalancuo's strong suppression.
The sailors running at the front of the team were like a group of ducks that had just rushed into the pond from the shore. They were undisciplined and looked for the rebels with weapons, and then rushed over in a swarm.
But when our team just rushed to the city gate, we saw dozens of torches suddenly lit up on the roofs on both sides of the street. Those people threw the torches in their hands to the crowd of sailors who rushed into the ambush circle without hesitation.
I had sharp eyes and saw a group of rebel archers standing on the roofs on both sides. My heart suddenly sank, thinking: The rebels' assembled forces actually set up an ambush at the city gate.
I cried out inwardly: Damn!
Before I made any warning, I saw arrows falling silently from the dark sky, and the sailors who rushed to the front fell down. The remaining sailors hurriedly sought shelter to avoid them. However, this kind of high-altitude terrain advantage, for the archers on the roofs on both sides of the street, as long as the target is clear enough, the hit rate of such downward shooting is very high.
The sudden change actually killed us and we lost more than 20 people at once. The remaining sailors retreated, and most of them had arrow wounds.
Noah and Shirley recited the spell without hesitation, drew the magic pattern array, and cast the "illumination technique". Several magical lights slowly rose from their palms, and then floated to the roofs on both sides of the street, illuminating the scene on the roofs.
It can be clearly seen that the roofs on both sides of the street and the walls at the city gate are full of rebels. Many rebels hold bows and arrows in their hands. They shoot at us from a high position, and we actually plunge into the ambush circle.
The archers on the roof looked at the magic glow with horror. Someone shouted loudly on the roof: "There are magicians in the group opposite. Pay attention to killing those magicians first. Whoever can shoot a magician to death, I will make him the captain immediately!"
"Humph!" Kalancuo snorted coldly, pulled out a short flying spear with his backhand, and threw the short flying spear out with a few steps of running. A scream of "ah" came from the roof, and a black figure fell from the roof.
The morale of the sailors following Kalancuo suddenly increased. Kalancuo held a double-edged sword and flipped onto the roof lightly. The sailors behind her also climbed to the roof under the rain of arrows.
Kalancuo turned to Luka and said, "Luka, you stay and protect Jijia." Then he rushed to the rebels on the roof.
"Okay!" The Minotaur Luka slapped his chest and blocked my body with his strong body like a hill, blocking the rain of arrows. The Minotaur Luka was wearing a full-cover heavy armor. These arrows posed no threat to him. They hit him sporadically and fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
While the sailors in our team were still in a panic, Knight Lant led the Construct Knight Squad to quickly attack the rebels on the city wall along the eaves. The archers on the roof sprinkled a rain of arrows. Fortunately, the Construct Knights had a light and tough knight light shield in their hands.
The sailors knew that only by occupying the city gate in one go could they reverse the unfavorable situation. So they also removed some door panels from the houses on both sides, held them high above their heads to block the rain of arrows, and followed Knight Lant to charge towards the city wall.
The city wall was full of rebels, and the arrows shot were very dense, and sailors kept falling.
Kalancuo and Miss Cherry, the female swordsman of Bena, climbed onto the roof. Carrying the big sword and fighting with the rebels on the roof, Kalancuo had some well-trained sailors behind him. These sailors followed Kalancuo and chopped down several rebels in succession.
When Knight Lant charged towards the city wall, he encountered great resistance. There were several warriors with the strength of the first turn on the city wall guarding the stone steps in the corner of the wall, forming a solid wall. If Knight Lant wanted to rush to the top of the city, he had to run over these first turn warriors.
However, although the strength of these first turn warriors was average, with the support of the rain of arrows on the top of the city, Knight Lant was helpless for a while.
Standing behind Luka, I kept drawing magic patterns. As I chanted, a 40-meter-long and 10-meter-high water wall hung in the air. As I gently said "condense", the huge water wall condensed into ice on the top of the city wall. When it froze, it made a series of clear "crackling" sounds, as if some cracks appeared in the ice layer.
Those abnormal noises immediately attracted the attention of the rebels on the city wall. However, when they found the huge ice wall floating above their heads, they were so scared that their livers and gallbladders broke and they immediately fled in all directions. However, there was no place to hide in the palm-sized place of the city wall. The ice wall hit the city wall with a "boom". Under such a huge impact, the entire ice wall broke into pieces, and directly buried some rebels who did not have time to escape under the ice layer.
It was like a big avalanche, with countless ice and snow pouring down from the top of the city. The people under the city did not even see clearly what happened on the top of the city, and saw that the entire top of the city was covered with a large amount of ice and snow.
Knight Lant took advantage of the soldiers guarding the steps being affected by the pouring ice and snow, and chopped down two first-level soldiers with the Paglio long sword in his hand. The construct knight behind him also quickly eliminated the ordinary rebel soldiers around.
Noah and Shirley stood back to back, and one fireball after another was shot from their hands, flying towards the archers on the roof.
Although the power of those small fireballs was average, whoever hit the head would immediately turn the archer into a fire man, and the companions around him would also be affected.
We tried our best and finally broke the ambush circle set up by the rebels.
Seeing that the situation was over, the archers on the roof jumped into the alley and fled in all directions. The captain of this team of archers was a shrewd man. Seeing that there was no advantage to be gained, he immediately let his men flee in a scattered manner. Catalina wanted to chase, but was stopped by Kalancuo on the side, and the sailors following them also stopped.
Another group of sailors waved their scimitars without hesitation and chased after the defeated rebels.
The sailors were overwhelmed by such an easy victory and wanted to pursue the victory, but they were forced back again by arrows shot from the shadows in the alley, and lost several sailors meaninglessly before they calmed down.
Our people occupied the top of the city. The sailors lifted the iron bolt on the city gate. Everyone worked together to turn the capstan. The city gate slowly opened with the sound of "clattering" chains rubbing. We finally opened a life passage to the outside of the city.
I looked up at the starry sky. There was still a little while before the time agreed to meet Captain Just. Noah and Shirley Newman sat at the city gate with their eyes closed, consuming a lot of mana, making them very tired and a little pale.
Miss Cherry stayed by their side, not leaving them.
I took Kalancuo, Katarina, and the minotaur Luka to the city wall at the gate. Looking at the sea not far away, it was still pitch black. Only the sound of waves could be heard. Less than two kilometers away was the harbor of Conason Island, where several rebel sailboats were moored.
Even at such a distance, there were still bright lights on the pier.
Knight Lant and his men stood on the city wall, looking at the harbor in the dark night. Standing with Lant were a group of knights who had just been rescued from prison. Although they were injured, they recovered quickly with the help of "hydrotherapy".
These guard camp knights stood beside Knight Lant, respectfully describing the topography of Conason Island City and the situation of the harbor.
"Lord Knight Lant, please send us to stop those port rebels!" One of the leading guard camp knights said to Knight Lant.
Knight Lant shook his head and said, "There are at least nine sailing ships moored at the dock over there. If they come out in full force, they can at least gather nearly a thousand warriors. You guys can't stop them alone."
"Their main force is not here..." the Knight of the Guard Battalion argued, but he obviously didn't have any confidence.
"Even if the rebels left in the port are all old, young, sick and disabled, they have an advantage in terms of military numbers. Can you stop those rebels with just a few of you?" Knight Lant said again.
"Otherwise, let me go!" I said to Knight Lant.
Knight Lant looked at me and waited for me to continue.
I took out a magic scroll from my waist bag and said to them, "These scrolls can be used to make some simple magic traps. I am sure I can delay the rebels on the dock. You should transfer the islanders to the ship as soon as possible."
"Magic trap? Well, in that case, I'll leave it to Mr. Jijia the magician to handle the dock." Knight Lant thought about it for a while, and seeing that I was fully confident, he nodded and agreed.
Then, Knight Lant sent someone to see if Just had gathered here with Earl Evan and his family members as agreed.
"Captain, Captain Just is back."
After a while, the Construct Knight ran up the wall and said to Knight Lant.
"Great..." Knight Lant waved his arm fiercely.
We quickly got off the wall, and then we saw that the entire city gate was crowded with people. The shadows extended into the darkness. It was hard to tell how many people there were. Captain Just, who was standing in front of the team, also had a bitter face. Facing us, his face was full of bitterness.
Noah and Shirley Newman also came over at this time. Noah whispered to Captain Just: "Why are there so many people all of a sudden?"
"I don't know how the news leaked. We went to Conason Island City to notify the people on the list one by one, and then the relatives of those people on the list came one after another, and then quietly joined our team, and then it became like this." Just spread his hands and said bitterly.
"But we only have three ships in total. Do you think our ships can carry so many people?" Knight Lant questioned Captain Just on behalf of Noah.
I took a quick look and saw that the number of relatives gathered at the gate of the city was over a thousand, which was the maximum number of people that Noah and I could carry on our three ships.
"Don't worry about it. Take people out of the city quickly, go to the beach quickly, and transfer people to the sailboat." Noah interrupted at the right time.
After hearing what Noah said, Knight Lant really stopped questioning Captain Just and began to arrange the transfer to the sailboat.
I whispered to Noah to set up some magic traps along the way from the port to Conason City to prevent reinforcements from coming from the port. Noah couldn't get away, so he thought about it, nodded, and said to me, "Then you have to be careful!"
