Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 254 Temptation

"Your Excellency Amata, I need you to solve this case in a short time, otherwise, I think I need to report to His Majesty Caesar!"

Facing the "threat" of the mayor, Amata, the Commander of the Teutonic Knights, remained calm. He replied unhurriedly, "Dear Mayor Gilbert, for the cruelty that happened last night, I believe that any Christian with a conscience will feel angry. We are no exception, please believe us, our Teutonic Knights will definitely deal with the attackers as soon as possible."

"I don't want to listen to your nonsense." Mayor Gilbert said bluntly, "I want you to come up with an effective solution immediately, or I will report this matter to Ippolito Palace immediately."

"Please believe in the ability of the Teutonic Knights." Amata said, "In fact, I already have a solution, a very risky solution."

"What?" Gilbert asked.

"I will patrol a secluded alley with a knight pretending to be an ordinary patrol member, luring the heretics to take the initiative to attack. When they move, they will send out a signal, and the soldiers who have ambushed in advance will swarm up and catch them all!"

Hearing Amata's plan, Mayor Gilbert couldn't speak for a while. He paused and asked, "Can you hold out until the ambushing soldiers arrive?"

"Please don't underestimate our Teutonic knights." Amata nodded, her tone quite conceited: "Even if it is the country's standing army, we can handle it, let alone the group of untrained thugs."

Amata's words have reached this point, and Gilbert can't continue talking, so he can only say: "In that case, then follow the plan of the governor of Amata."

...

According to Dutong Amata's plan, he and Deputy Dutong Ji'an will put on ordinary civilian attire (in fact, just in case, a chain mail is lined inside), equipped with only a knight Jian, pretending to be an ordinary member of the Mutual Protection Organization, patrolled the alley. The soldiers in charge of support will set up an ambush in the dark in advance, and after the two Amatas are attacked and signal fireworks are fired, they will surround the scene as quickly as possible and kill all the attackers.

The difficulty of this plan is not only whether the Amata and the others will capsize in the gutter and be killed before the reinforcements arrive, but also whether the soldiers who set up an ambush will be seen through, which will lead to the failure of the plan.

There is no 100% successful plan in this world, Amata knows this truth well, but he still decides to take risks to implement his plan, after all, this is the only highly feasible plan that can be thought of at present.

...

the next night,

Dressed in civilian clothes, Dutong Amata and Deputy Dutong Ji'an patrolled together in a dead alley. This alley is not far from the attack site not long ago. This is also the place Amata chose after consideration.

The surrounding area was very quiet, except for the snoring of people sleeping in the houses on both sides of the alley, there was only the sound of the two of them's footsteps.

Walking in this alley, both Amata and Ji'an felt a little nervous and subconsciously put their hands on the scabbard around their waists, pulling them out whenever there was a turmoil. Looking around, only the place illuminated by the torch in his hand can be seen clearly, other than that, it is pitch black, and he can't see his fingers.

Creatures are born to fear the dark, and humans are no exception. Although the two Teutonic knights are elite warriors who are brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, they still feel fear in the face of the unknown darkness.

"May God bless you tonight."

Ji'an swallowed the saliva secreted by nervousness, then prayed in a low voice, and raised his hand touching the scabbard and crossed himself on his chest. Perhaps because of his actions, the figure hidden in the darkness flickered slightly, and the eyes looking at the two became more murderous.

Amata quickly sensed the murderous intent coming from the air. His eyes tightened, but he quickly returned to normal. He didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that his actions would startle the snake and spoil the big event tonight.

After walking a few more steps, when they were getting closer to the entrance of the alley, a cold wind hit, and the sixth sense in Amata's heart frantically warned. With the first strike, the next second, he kicked his right leg hard, causing a sound of breaking through the air, and then, he felt a soft object being kicked, and accompanied by a muffled groan, the object he kicked flew far away. out, hitting the wall beside him.

"Enemy attack!"

At the moment when the attacker flew out, Jian pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted loudly at the same time, and Amata, who kicked the attacker, retracted his right leg in time, pulled out the sword, and looked around vigilantly. Looking at him, he couldn't help showing a look of astonishment, and saw dozens of figures in black robes and holding sharp swords appeared in front of them and behind them.

At this moment, the figure kicked away by him coughed violently and struggled to get up from the corner of the wall. While wiping the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, he stared at Amata with hatred. He took out a small tubular object from his arms and held it up to the sky. The next moment, he saw a burst of flames blooming on the top of the tubular object. Accompanied by piercing screams, an arrow of light flew into the air and exploded in the air!

"Oops! This is a trap!"

The face of the leader of the assailants changed drastically, and the alarm bells rang in his heart. Before he could respond, a fire suddenly lit up around him, illuminating the place as if it were daytime, and their faces turned pale as a result, as if the doomsday had come.

"Finally caught you." Amata said with a sneer, he raised his knight sword, pointed at the attackers who surrounded him, and shouted: "Surrender, in the name of Christ, we will not kill you all !"

"The people of Huanlu will never surrender!" The leader of the attacker shouted loudly, then he raised his sharp sword and ordered to the surrounding subordinates: "Go, kill them all!"

"call!"

Seeing this, Amata's face showed a look of regret. He shook his head, held up the knight's sword, and shouted at the city defense army and members of the Teutonic Knights who surrounded here: "Do it! Keep a few alive!"

As soon as the words fell, he and the deputy governor Ji'an waved their swords to meet the rushing pagans, and the soldiers on the periphery also charged at the stubborn enemies. The crashing sound was particularly harsh in the dark night.

Residents in the nearby houses were awakened by the sound of fighting. They hid under the covers and shivered, not daring to breathe out, for fear of attracting the attention of the soldiers fighting outside and causing fire.

The battle was over in less than ten minutes. How could these dozen thugs equipped with swords defeat the fully armed soldiers and Teutonic knights? After the leader was beheaded by Amata, his subordinates had no intention of fighting any more, and quickly put down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.
