Linshui City was not near the water.
It was still hundreds of kilometers away from the Raging Water River, but five hundred years ago, the Raging Water River did pass through Linshui City. However, due to an earthquake, it changed its course and Linshui City became unworthy of its name.
In the back hall of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a scene of singing and dancing.
The young and beautiful half-elf dancers were graceful and charming. Their eyes were full of flirtatious glances, which caused a burst of excited cheers, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to the climax.
Viscounts Jacques, the Lord of Linshui City, was sitting at the head of the table, looking at the half-elf dancers in the field with drunken eyes, shaking his head along with the rhythm of the music, full of interest.
But unfortunately, there were always some untactful people who wanted to disturb his mood.
"Sir Viscounts, Sir Viscounts!"
Viscounts Jacques looked at Knight Palon in front of him and asked with a frown: "What's the matter?"
"Sir, there was a group of deserters from Alfalfa City just now, and according to them, the Bloody Cavalry has already crossed the river!"
"Knight Palon, you believe the words of deserters? With the Pegasus Navy, tell me, how did the people of the Northern Frontier cross the Raging Water River? Also, didn't I ask you to send someone to confirm? Did you send anyone? "
"Of course, I sent three batches. But until now, none of them have returned. "
"Isn't it at least three days from here to Alfalfa City? How can it be so fast? "
"But Sir, there are already so many deserters in Linshui City, which means that something must have happened in Alfalfa City. We should prepare early."
"Didn't I already send a letter to White Dew City? And aren't you also reorganizing the family army and preparing for battle at any time? What else do you want?"
"Sir, to be safe, we should close the city gate."
"Close the city gate?" Viscounts Jacques hesitated, "Isn't it a bit of a fuss before we get the exact information?"
Knight Palon lamented in his heart. The Eastern Region had been peaceful for too long, and these nobles had long lost their vigilance. He was about to persuade again when he heard a half-elf merchant next to him hurriedly say:
"Sir Viscounts, you can't close the city gate! Our caravan still has a batch of goods to deliver to Linshui City today! "
Viscounts Jaga's eyes lit up.
One had to know that every time the half-elf caravan passed by Linshui City, they would give him some "beautiful gifts".
Looking at the enchanting half-elf dancers in the field, Viscounts Jaga's heart was burning with passion. He immediately said to Palon Knight,
"How about this? Let's wait for Mr. Sasu's caravan to enter the city before we close the gate."
Palon glanced at the half-elf merchant cautiously and said, "Sir, I'm worried that it's too late …"
Viscounts Jacques glared at him and said impatiently, "What's there to be unable to do? Do you really think that I don't know how to march and fight? Even if the Bloody Cavalry really crossed the river, it would take at least two or three days. Moreover, they would also need to transport the provisions and logistics. It would take at least five or six days for them to arrive at Linshui City. Just do as I say! "
"Yes, sir." Palon had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Knight Palon came to the West City Gate with a heart full of worries. He happened to see a long line of carriages crowded at the gate.
It seemed that the half-elf caravan had finally arrived.
Palon's heart skipped a beat. He quickly ordered the soldiers to speed up the pace of the caravan.
However, halfway through, the caravan suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?"
Palon stood at the top of the city wall and asked.
"Sir Palon, a trailer collapsed under the weight of goods."
"Clean it up quickly!"
Palon shouted angrily. At the same time, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
He already felt that these half-elf merchants were not trustworthy. After all, the half-elf kingdom was now firmly in the hands of Count Angele. It was hard to say whether this caravan was a spy sent by Count Angele or not.
However, Viscounts Jacques had already been bewitched by these half-elves. Palon could not persuade him at all.
Now, he could only hope that the Bloody Cavalry would not arrive at Linshui City so quickly.
However, sometimes, the more one feared something, the more it would happen.
Dong, dong, dong …
The ground suddenly began to shake. Palon suddenly turned around and saw a thin black line on the horizon.
The thin line gradually spread out and turned into a black sea. It was surging toward Linshui City at an astonishing speed.
He only felt cold from head to toe. He immediately shouted hoarsely, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "
The soldiers gathered at the city gate were stunned. They were still unable to figure out what had happened.
Those soldiers who were helping to clean up the goods scattered at the city gate were still stupidly carrying the goods on their shoulders. They were dazed as they looked at the cavalry that appeared in the distance.
It was not until Palon jumped down from the top of the city wall and kicked several soldiers that they finally regained their senses.
"Quick, quickly close the city gate!"
Several soldiers rolled and crawled to the suspension cable. However, at this time, the city gate was blocked by the caravan. They could not close it even if they wanted to.
Palon had already confirmed that this half-elf caravan was a spy from the Northern Frontier!
Therefore, he did not show any mercy. He immediately led the soldiers to forcefully drive the caravan away. If the other party hesitated, he would pull out his sword and kill!
When they saw blood, the half-elves in the caravan immediately dispersed. However, they left the caravan of goods at the city gate.
Palon had no choice but to let the soldiers move the goods away. As for himself, he gathered the guards at the city gate and lined up outside the city, trying to block the Blood Cavalry.
In fact, at this time, there were one or two thousand guards at the city gate. Palon felt that with so many people, they should be able to block the Blood Cavalry and buy some time. As long as the city gate was successfully closed, the Northern Frontier might not be able to take down Linshui City.
Cavalry was not good at sieging cities. This was military common sense.
Unfortunately, Knight Palon had overestimated his subordinates.
The Eastern Region was too comfortable. The Nu Shui River firmly blocked the Northern Frontier outside. The elves hid in the Radiant Moon Forest and there was no trace of them. The army of the Eastern Region only bullied the bandits and did not fight a few serious wars. Many soldiers did not even practice.
Perhaps they were more proficient in using hoes than swords.
Therefore, when the vanguard of the Blood Cavalry arrived at the city gate with an unparalleled momentum, the guards led by Palon directly collapsed.
They saw the red blood, the ferocious faces, and the ruthless eyes. Then, they were scared to death.
They threw down the swords in their hands and ignored Palon's shout. They instinctively turned around and fled into the city.
Palon looked at this scene and his heart was completely desperate.
However, he looked down at the knight's sword in his hand. The oath that he once swore once again appeared in his mind.
Then, this Eastern Region Knight stood alone in front of Linshui City, facing the surging Bloody Cavalry alone, and roared loudly, "My Lord, I'm going to kill you!"
"Come on! Northern Frontier barbarians! "
