"Could it be the troops of the Holy Cathedral?"
"My lord, it doesn't matter if it's the troops of the Holy Cathedral! The enemy has already destroyed the camp on the outskirts of the city, and all the noble soldiers have dispersed! We only have about a hundred people who can fight in the inner city … It's not too late to break out now! "
Just as he was speaking, a series of explosions rang out, followed by screams of fear and alarm …
"They're charging in! They're charging in! "
Someone shouted loudly, and the result was that all the squires who were still holding their weapons scattered, because the Eifferta infantrymen had already rushed in from both sides of the tunnel in the inner city …
The soldiers outside the Earl's mansion had no power to resist at all, and all knelt down in surrender. Only the forty or so elite soldiers led by Kewell were already armed. Earl Harrison, who was wearing pajamas, was dragged onto a horse, and the entire team had just rushed out of the mansion when they were blocked by the infantrymen.
"Kill!"
This knight's strength was not bad. He swung his spear and kicked the horse's abdomen, charging straight at the infantrymen with strange short spears in their hands. But before he could make a sudden thrust, a dazzling white light appeared in front of him …
These infantrymen were holding special "anti-cavalry spears". This strange name was said to have been given by the Prime Minister. Although it didn't sound mighty, its power was an improved version of the "rechargeable cavalry spear".
The "anti-cavalry spear" powered by rechargeable crystals could be said to be a short-range rocket launcher. The back half of the spear was stabbed into the ground or supported by the foot, and the front half was aimed at the approaching cavalry. After it was activated, there was no suspense in a large energy impact. In the midst of the humming sound, Knight Kewell and the seven or eight cavalrymen he led were blown into pieces on the spot.
Blood and flesh splattered all over the ground. When the fragments of armor smashed into Earl Harrison's face, his warhorse also reared up due to the shock. The Earl was caught off guard and fell to the ground on the spot, and was immediately captured by the soldiers who strode over …
"Who the hell are you?! Who the hell are you?! "
The Earl, whose face was covered in blood, only had this question left in his mind. But as far as the eye could see, all the infantrymen were silent like machines. Only the wolf head imprint representing the Eifferta Lucifron family on their armor was silently answering his questions …
When the magic clock reached 11 o 'clock in the morning, Commander Faram had led the guards into the count's residence. The ten mages in the team did not participate in the battle. Instead, they quickly set up a communication circle. Faram needed to know the situation of the southern front.
Meanwhile, in Dunkell City, south of the Holy Sanctum, the noble army stationed outside the city had also completely collapsed.
Unlike the tactics of the Western Front, Trucks, who commanded the Southern Army to attack, directly used a cannon to bombard the camp outside the city from a distance of 800 meters.
He didn't care how many nobles or squires were inside. The 20 centimeter caliber crystal cannons fired two rounds. The infantrymen didn't even look at them when they passed by and headed straight for Dunkell City.
Similarly, the walls of Dunkell City were reduced to ashes by a volley of cannon fire. The infantry company continued forward and entered the city without any hindrance.
The Dragon Spear Knights dispatched a troop of a hundred people to intercept and kill the nobles who tried to escape from the city gate in platoons. In the battle that lasted until the afternoon, a total of six barons and one viscount were captured or killed. When the owner of Dunkell City, Count Beliden, tried to climb the inner city wall to resist, he was blasted into pieces by the cannon company on the spot.
At 2 o 'clock in the afternoon on the 9th of May, Trucks, the commander of the Eifferta Infantry Division in the south, used the circle to get in touch with Faram and confirmed that the two cities were under control.
At 4 o 'clock in the afternoon, the road from the Holy Sanctum to the two cities was completely connected, but the puppets repairing the road did not stop. Instead, they continued to advance south from the two cities. Their goal was to rush all the way to the central hinterland of the kingdom!
And so far, all the forces of the Cullen Royal Family … including the Dragons, including the noble troops rushing towards the two cities on the road, knew nothing about this.
*****
After nightfall, Suvala City was completely taken over by Eifferta's soldiers, and the curfew was strictly enforced.
Because the road from the Holy Sanctum to here was clear, the Templars and logistical soldiers from the Holy Sanctum had already arrived in the evening. Although their military discipline was not as strict as Eifferta's, under the leadership of the bishop, they still made a good addition to the control of the city.
In this battle, other than the casualties of the noble soldiers outside the city, there were almost no casualties among the civilians in the city. In fact, most of them were confused, and many of them even hid in their homes from the beginning to the end. Until now, they still did not know who controlled the city.
But Jonathan was very clear … this sudden war definitely broke all the expectations of the Cullen Royal Family.
The soldiers from Eifferta seemed to have descended from the sky, using powerful weapons to directly break the city wall, and then came in to occupy the city as if they were taking a stroll in their own garden. If he did not see it with his own eyes, he would never believe it was true!
He had entered the CIA last year. At first, he was not a servant of some nobleman, but really the child of a poor peasant. He had been used to a hard life since childhood, and because of the bad harvest, he had been forced to work here and there for a short time. Coincidentally, he entered the Paer territory's trading company. Later, because he was smart and skilled, he was recommended to the "CIA."
Up to this point, he was actually happy because the salary of the "CIA" was three times higher than when he was a clerk in the trading company. But Jonathan had more thoughts about this — since he could earn three times the price, why couldn't he earn five times, or even ten times the price?
It was because he had experienced poverty that he was filled with a desire for money that ordinary people could not have. And three months ago, when he betrayed the information of his companion, causing him to be exposed and executed, he received a reward of five gold coins. This money was equivalent to the sum of his income for the past two years.
So Jonathan could not stop, and at the same time, he used different methods to bewitch many "newbies" who did not have much experience. Jumping out of the CIA's rules and weaving an independent network for himself … The overly cautious Jonathan never tried to pull anyone into his group. On the surface, he was just a "senior" who was angry at the management rules and tried to unite everyone.
But no one knew that he did this to have better eyes and ears, fresher first-hand information … At the same time, he could sell out his teammates more quickly.
Today's battle was over, and Jonathan also realized that his chance to earn big money had come. As long as he could report important information such as the composition of the Eifferta army, weapon structure, and power, the royal family would definitely reward him handsomely!
At the same time, he was thinking of organizing a celebration party … to invite his agents in the "CIA" to celebrate the victory of the Eifferta army's first battle.
This kind of two-faced life was very exciting for Jonathan, and he found that he was enjoying the pleasure of walking on the edge of a knife.
Looking left and right, the night patrol team had just passed by the street. He carefully walked in the shadows of the buildings, and not long after, he came to a hidden residential area in the east of the city.
Skillfully flipping over the back wall, Jonathan heaved a sigh of relief when he landed. He bought this house alone, and other than the messenger pigeons that delivered letters, there was no one living in it. He took out a fire sickle and lit the candles in the house, and began to write the script that he had already prepared in his mind with a quill. After he finished writing, he blew on the paper and carefully folded it after letting it dry in the shade. He then walked to the pigeon coop and began to pick out the pigeons.
But just as Jonathan's hand was placed on the pigeon coop's door, he found a black shadow beside him. This scared him, and he instinctively pulled out his dagger. He looked closely and realized that it was the newbie Nora that he had just met a few days ago.
"Hey … Nora, why are you here?"
Jonathan was extremely nervous because he knew that the other party must have followed him. If he did not want to expose his identity, the only way was to silence him!
"I am very curious as to why you are running around during the curfew, so I followed you."
Nora still had the appearance of a freckled maid, and her clothes were all standard maid attire. She tilted her head and looked at the pigeon coop. "Are you planning to send a letter to someone? The Intelligence Bureau does not seem to allow secret service members to have their own pigeon coop. "
"Actually … I have never told you that I am a special member of the Intelligence Bureau, and I have the authority to directly report to the Prime Minister. I am now planning to report today's news to him! "
Jonathan made up a story, and at the same time, he handed over the letter in his hand. "If you don't believe me, take a look. The contents are all here."
Nora did not seem to notice anything fishy, and she reached out to take the letter — the next moment, Jonathan's movements suddenly sped up, and the dagger in his other hand shot out, the tip of the dagger pointed straight at Nora's heart!
Under the dim light, Jonathan gritted his teeth. He had already planned to press down on the other party's mouth to prevent her from making any sound. However, just as the tip of the dagger was about to make contact with the maid attire, it abruptly stopped.
He realized that his right wrist had been entangled by a black object. It was so strong that he couldn't advance or retreat. When he looked over, Jonathan suddenly realized that … the object was actually sticking out from under Nora's skirt.
His left hand released the letter, and he clenched his fist to punch Nora. However, his fist was easily caught by the other party. Next, she flicked her tail, and Jonathan's entire body flew backwards – before he landed, Nora had already teleported to where he landed. When Jonathan fell to the ground with a "bang", she flicked the dagger with her tail and nailed it to the side of Jonathan's face.
The sharp edge of the dagger caused his cheek to bleed, and this double agent did not dare to move. He endured the intense pain that threatened to tear his body apart, and asked in a low voice, "You … who are you?"
"A CIA agent."
