Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 4 Chapter 25: Night Attack (Part 1)

Two hours ago, in Fort Wiscari where night fell, martial law continued. Soldiers guarded every important place. In particular, the Watergate also strengthened its defenses. In addition to fully armed guards, There are regular inspection teams. Due to what happened before, all the soldiers who watched the night dare not slack in the slightest.

This also made the Assassin assassins who had been waiting for the opportunity to feel very difficult for a while, and they did not expect the Moria nobles to react so keenly, and immediately strengthened their vigilance. In this way, their chance of taking over the Venetian fleet in the city would be very difficult, but even so, these assassins hidden in the darkness still didn't mean to give up.

"What can I do now, Chief, have they noticed something?"

"It's okay, although the other party has been alert, but it seems that they have not noticed that the Venetians will make a surprise attack. These days, they are only searching in civilian areas."

"But in this case, we won't have the opportunity to respond. The defenses of these Tianshuimen have obviously been strengthened."

Although these Assassin assassins, who have been severely trained since childhood, are superb, it does not mean that they can break through the layers of the army's protection. If they can't catch the flaws, they can only helpless.

While the Assassin killers were still hesitating, the assassin leader among them didn't seem to worry about the mission failure, but calmly said: "Don't worry, just wait and see what happens. It will be our turn later. "The man was surprisingly calm, not at all worried about the Byzantine defenses.

Seeing this scene, although the suspicious assassins did not understand why the leader was so calm, they still suppressed the doubts in their hearts and waited quietly in the dark.

In the night of Fort Wiscari, everything was quiet except for the sound of wind and waves from the sea and the footsteps of night watch soldiers on the stone road, as silent as a calm lake, but in fact, this But undercurrents surging. It is destined that countless people will not be able to sleep peacefully tonight. The Assassins were waiting for the opportunity to strike, the Venetians also showed their fangs in the dark, and the Byzantines were also guarding this isolated city in panic.

Although most Byzantines did not know that the Venetians were coming, the tense city-wide martial law made a tense atmosphere spread to everyone and further turned into fear.

Suddenly, the northeastern part of the castle burst into flames, and then there was a fire cry for help.

"It's on fire! It's on fire!"

The soldiers who watched the night watched subconsciously and saw the fire spread in an instant. There was a fire at this time, and everyone who saw this scene was shocked. In this era, a fire is disastrous for a town, even if it is a metropolis like Constantinople. It is also vulnerable to the attack of the tongue of fire. When Constantinople fell, there were Venetians and Pizzas who deliberately set fire in order to avenge, and all of a sudden burned a large area of ​​the magnificent Constantinople.了白地.

Therefore, the severity of the fire was no less than that of the enemy's invasion. Once encountered a fire, the Byzantine soldiers who had been patrolling immediately put down their work and went to the fire site to prevent the fire from spreading. Although their task is to implement martial law throughout the city, they have to make a choice when encountering this situation.

The fire was obviously not small, and soon more soldiers at checkpoints were transferred to fight the fire, but the defense force of the Watergate was never used. And the Assassin leader who had been observing this scene secretly couldn't help but frown slightly. Originally, he was delighted to see the city of Wiscari on fire, knowing that it was the people in the city who had made it to attract the attention of the Byzantines. In fact, they were able to escape the Byzantine army in the city, thanks to the shelter of the co-conspirator who responded to them. But now if these soldiers guarding the Watergate do not leave, the plan is still very tricky.

Could it be said that an attack was carried out early?

Although it succeeded once, it was entirely because they saw that George Frontier was unprepared, and this time it might not be so easy.

But at this point, the Assassins were unwilling to give up halfway, but just as they were preparing to start from the darkness, the sound of rushing horses suddenly interrupted their actions.

I saw a gray-headed Byzantine soldier who was burned by the flames riding a fast horse and shouting: "What are you doing in a daze? Go and put out the fire! Duke Leo's house is on fire. Everyone, go and fight the fire!"

The northeast of the fire was the mansion of Leosgros, and the flames had spread. Many soldiers ran to fight the fire. The manpower was no longer enough, so I had to call the manpower here~www.ltnovel.com~ Okay, here we are. Just go. "When the Duke's mansion was on fire, the officer guarding the water gate nodded quickly. After all, it was the residence of the nobleman. He didn't dare not obey the order, so he left a few guards and immediately led the others to fight the fire. .At this juncture, they can only put down their work and rush to fight the fire.

And seeing this scene, the Assassin assassins who were already ready to act finally were able to breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing the garrison troops running over to fight the fire drifting away, the assassin leader finally showed a satisfied smile. At this moment, no one could hinder them. The remaining soldiers were not at all in trouble.

"Do it!"

With a rare opportunity, the assassin leader shouted, and then these black assassins jumped up and rushed towards the few guards who were defenseless. These elite assassins seemed to have fallen by the side of the Byzantine guards while the night owl was rising and falling, and only then did these guards realize that the danger was coming, but it was too late.

"What?! Ah—" Before they even had time to shout to warn their companions, the throats of these guards were cut open by the killers, and the Byzantine soldiers killed themselves without even feeling the pain.

"Open the gate immediately and raise the fire as a sign!" After calculating the time, according to the previous agreement, the Venetian fleet should have been close. The assassin leader immediately ordered his men to light the torch without hesitation, and saw the bright torch hit the time. The Byzantine soldiers who ignited the city’s head and were busy fighting the fire did not notice what happened here, but the Venetian warship that saw the signal at this moment, a thousand sails on the dark sea marched like a fierce sea beast. Fort Wiscari that looks fragile.
