Working Prophet

Like all people at important historical junctures, at the beginning, no one realized that their lives would be completely changed today.

So when the sun rises over the sea level, the people living in this harbor start their day as usual.

The first ones to wake up were the small vendors in the city. They went out at dawn and came to their stalls early to start their day's business.

Then came the dockworkers. Most of them were landless farmers or people who wanted to go to the city to make a living. They lived in the Stinky Shrimp Street area in the north of the city.

There are all densely packed low shanties, like a maze. If a foreigner accidentally walks in, it is easy to get lost in it.

Thanks to the developed maritime trade, there is an endless stream of merchant ships coming and going in the port every day. Whether they come to sell goods or purchase goods, they need to hire these dock workers, so they also feed a lot of people.

Just how many longshoremen there are in Crab Legs has been a mystery.

When the Weiting family was still ruling the New World, they tried to count several times, but finally had to give up. These dock workers were highly mobile, and one person often worked several jobs.

Sometimes they disappear and come back after a while, or there are many people who suddenly disappear while doing something. Anyway, even the foremen can't tell how many people they have.

And when the rising sun passed over the huge stone statue of Claudius, the sea god outside the port, and came to the trident in the right hand of the stone statue, the nobles in the city would open their eyes from their soft beds.

After washing and tidying up, it was almost time to have lunch. After that, they would either deal with government affairs, go hunting in the city, or visit friends...

In short, everyone was busy according to their own established life trajectory, until a sloop from the Free City of Cyprus took the lead in discovering a small black dot appearing on the sea level in the distance.

When they first saw those little black dots, they thought they were birds.

Although flocks of birds of this size are not common, there seems to be nothing else flying in the sky other than flocks of birds.

The people on the dhow thought so, but after a while, the lookout on the ship suddenly shouted.

"Oh my God! Gods above me, I... what on earth did I see? Why can those people fly in the sky?!"

After listening to the lookout's words, someone with good eyesight looked at the thing that looked like a flock of birds again.

But this time, because they were closer, more and more people began to see clearly what those things looked like.

Those are indeed humans, humans who can fly! And it looked like a large army. Everyone was wearing leather armor and carrying weapons, and they looked like they were coming with bad intentions.

The captain of the sloop has been traveling between Cyprus and Crab Point, doing shipping business, and even got to know some of the nobles of the empire.

Whether he was thinking about his future money or simply from an emotional point of view, he was more inclined to side with the Red Lion Empire.

Therefore, when he saw an enemy invading, the first thing he thought of was to notify the garrison in the city.

However, the flying birdmen came very quickly. While the sailors on the ship were still adjusting the sails and preparing to move at full speed, the birdmen were already only a few hundred steps away from them.

The captain was shocked and hesitated whether to surrender directly or put up a little resistance. As a result, the birdmen seemed to have not seen them at all, and just flew over their heads and pounced on the bird not far away. A seaport.

The people on the boat felt that the sky suddenly darkened, but fortunately they saw the sun again not long after.

If it weren't for a feather falling from the sky, many people would not be able to help but wonder whether the scene just now really happened.

After a while, the first mate was the first to come to his senses and asked the captain if he wanted to stop at Crab Point.

The captain's face was very ugly. It was not easy for them to come on this trip. They had been at sea for more than four months. During this period, the salary and food supplies were a lot of money.

It's definitely not possible to just turn around and go back, but obviously we can't go back to Crab Corner either.

Because a big battle is about to happen there, and the captain doesn't think much of the nobles in the city.

After all, being able to fly is really an advantage. Before the fight even started, he was already invincible.

So the captain asked Da Da to take out the nautical chart and look for the nearest port. He planned to go there and sell the goods on the ship before fleeing and returning to the Free City.

He had an ominous premonition in his heart. Not only Crab Corner, but maybe the entire Red Lion Empire would be ignited in flames of war soon.

This magnificent empire built by orcs, humans and dwarves is about to usher in the most terrifying disaster.

The dhow was still able to get away when the situation was bad, but most people in the city were not so lucky.

As the Wing Tribe people got closer, more and more people discovered the strange phenomena in the sky.

The dock suddenly fell into chaos, and people began to flee in all directions. The goods were just thrown on the ground and scattered everywhere. Some brave people did not run away, but took advantage of the chaos to pick up things.

Someone informed the city's garrison of the news, and then Dusan, the head of the Drummond family, also knew that the Wing Clan members were coming.

After the initial shock, Dusan deliberately wanted to organize a defense. However, facing enemies that could fly freely in the air, the tall and solid city walls that the nobles on the Bratis continent were proud of were all lost this time. It has no effect and is no different from a piece of papyrus.

Dusan had also heard about the burning of King's Landing Tower in Lionheart Castle. It was said that a group of Kingsguards with superb martial arts skills and well-equipped equipment could do nothing to defeat a mere enemy.

And this time he faced not just one flying enemy, but a group of flying enemies.

As soon as he thought of this, Dusan felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.

What the female lord named Ilea said turned out to be true, and those Wing Tribe people really came.

Moreover, they had no choice but to land at Crab Point.

Many thoughts went through Dusan's mind, and he even considered running away, but he couldn't let go of this harbor that he had just acquired, and if he really ran away, he might not be able to outrun the wings on his back. tribesmen.

As for surrender, Dusan never thought that everyone in the city could surrender, but he, as the actual master of Xinlu, could not surrender.

In this case, we can only fight.

Dusan gritted his teeth and said to Bals on the side, "Assemble all the archers to the castle. The crab horn is too big. We will definitely not be able to defend it, but we can still use the castle to resist the attack of the Wing Tribe people."

Bals nodded and hurriedly left the room. Dusan then called a guard and asked him to find a way to gather all the mercenaries and hunters in the city who could shoot arrows.
