Chapter 687: 685 Attack (Part 1)_1
It was the darkest part of the morning, just before dawn, when Knight Pala suddenly woke up from sleep.
As a powerful knight, Pala hadn’t had a nightmare for many years, but just now, he suddenly felt a strong palpitation.
It was as if a pair of hostile eyes in the darkness were staring at him.
Knight Pala looked around vigilantly, but found nothing.
But he was no longer sleepy, so he got up, washed his face, put on his armor, walked out of the guard post, and went to the top of the city.
As the commander of the Dragon City Imperial Guard, Knight Pala didn’t need to keep watch personally, but recently he worried about the Orc squad that had infiltrated into the Empire’s heartland and was yet to be found, so he stayed in the city.
...
Of course, this was just an excuse on the surface.
The real reason why Knight Pala stayed in the city was to avoid Colin.
When he received the news that his brother, Prince Lexie, was killed in Springs Town, Knight Pala was certain that it was not the orcs who killed his brother, but Colin Angler!
Because he also knew about Prince Lexie’s plan to deal with Colin, and that Colin had just ascended to the Holy Field, possessing the strength to fight against Prince Lexie.
As for the Orcs, unless an orc army surrounded Springs town, there was no possibility of killing a Holy Knight.
So, ever since Colin returned to Dragon City, Knight Pala was worried about being assassinated and hid in the Imperial Guard under the pretext of preventing an orc attack.
In this way, if the newly promoted Holy Knight really intended to assassinate him, Knight Pala could at least contend with him with the help of the Imperial Guard.
Pala believed that as long as Colin didn’t want to cause a civil unrest in the Empire, he wouldn’t dare to assassinate him so blatantly.
Once Reggie ascended to the throne, he wouldn’t need to fear Colin Angler anymore, and he could even plan how to avenge his brother…
Bang!
A loud noise interrupted Knight Pala’s thoughts, and for a mont, the whole city tower shook.
A shudder ran through Knight Pala’s heart, and he imdiately shouted:
“Quick! Quick, to the West City Gate!”
After speaking, he ran towards the direction of the West City Gate.
When he arrived, he found that the chain of the City Gate drawbridge had already broken, and the loud noise just now was the sound of the drawbridge falling to the ground.
A chill ran through Knight Pala’s heart because he knew that such drawbridge chains wouldn’t break on their own, they must have been severed by soone!
And to silently sever such thick iron chains under the guard of the guards, it must be a Holy Field powerhouse!
For a mont, Knight Pala seed to feel once again the gaze that woke him up from his nightmare.
He looked around warily, but could only see an impenetrable darkness.
“Sir, the drawbridge chain has broken. I’ll send soone to call the craftsman to repair it right away…”
“Repair my ass!” Knight Pala shouted angrily, “Sound the alarm! We’re under attack!”
“Under attack?” The deputy officer hesitated for a mont, wondering if Knight Pala was making a big fuss out of a small matter, as there was no sign of the enemy…
Before he could speak, he heard a series of screams coming from the city gate:
“Ah! We’re under attack! We’re under attack!”
“Orcs! Orcs have broken in!”
“Quick! Block the city gate!”
…
The shrill sound of the horn broke the silence of the night and woke up the sleeping Dragon City.
At the West City Gate, the hastily prepared Imperial Guard couldn’t withstand the onslaught of the orcs.
Although the number of these orcs wasn’t large, their individual combat strength was extrely strong and they were fearless in the face of death, making the Imperial Guard pay a painful price in an instant.
Due to the rapid fall of the West City Gate, reinforcents couldn’t arrive in ti, and for a mont, the situation seed to be on the verge of collapse.
What was worse was that although the commander of the Imperial Guard, Knight Pala, was present, he dared not stand out to boost morale, let alone lead his soldiers to counterattack.
Knight Pala always thought there was sothing wrong with tonight’s attack, and it might be a trap against him.
That gaze in the darkness seed to be staring at him all the ti, preventing Knight Pala from relaxing at all.
But as the battle continued to deteriorate, there were inevitably fewer and fewer soldiers around Knight Pala.
The West City Gate had beco a massive at grinder, constantly devouring the lives of the Imperial Guard soldiers.
With a burning heart, Pala grabbed the deputy officer and asked:
“Where are the reinforcents? Why haven’t they arrived yet?”
The deputy officer seed to not understand the panic of his superior, because in his opinion, the current situation had not yet reached the point of no return. Although the orcs were fierce, there weren’t many of them. As long as they could withstand the hardest wave of attacks, they could stabilize the defense line.
“Sir, reinforcents should be on their way. Also, I have sent soone to notify the reserve team, you shouldn’t worry too much…”
Before he finished speaking, a roar of beasts suddenly ca from behind them.
They saw orc soldiers climbing onto the city wall, roaring as they rushed over.
“Form up! et the enemy!”
Deputy officer drew out his long sword and shouted loudly.
At the sa ti, he finally realised that sothing was wrong.
From the initial breaking of the drawbridge chains to the orcs seizing the chance to break in, everything pointed to a preditated inside and outside collusion.
And now, this group of orcs could accurately locate the Imperial Guard commander in the dark, which was simply unreasonable.
Unfortunately, there was no ti for extra thinking on the battlefield.
The orcs who stord up had collided with Knight Pala’s personal guards, and for a while, the killing noises drowned the sky, and blood surged.
At this mont, Knight Pala was completely focused, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
He could feel that terrifying gaze, like the breath of death, enveloping his entire body, making it impossible for him to escape.
The next mont, this long tornt finally ended.
The sight of Knight Pala was completely occupied by a huge phantasm of a white wolf, and his ears were filled with the deafening sound of wolf howls.
It was as if at this mont, he was pulled away from the battlefield and brought into a strange space.
Ahhh——
Knight Pala let out a roar of despair and anger, but found that his movents were as slow as a dying old man.
The blade light in front of him, which seed to run through the heavens and the earth, brought a wave of unstoppable montum in his personal guards, then swept towards him.
Whiz!
Blood light flashed across the city, and the entire battlefield seed to quiet for a mont.
The deputy officer turned abruptly, only to see Knight Pala and more than a dozen bodyguards, like wheat in a field, being severed at the waist by the death scythe flashing through the darkness.
In the midst of his shock, wave after wave of orcs surged up from below the city, gradually drowning them out.
