Chapter 517: Skilled Special Combat Infiltration

The soldier rubbed his eyes, trying to get his spirits up. However, the tiredness made him lean against the wall. He could not help but want to fall asleep. His spirits were very low.

In any case, he was not the only one who was like this. Everyone was like this.

There were even some soldiers who had the magical ability to fall asleep while standing.

This ability made the soldier very envious. He also hoped that he could learn this ability.

On the city wall, although everyone was standing guard, not many people were really staring outside the south city wall.

Below was the dock area, and there were more than two thousand navy soldiers guarding it.

They did not believe that someone would have the courage to attack the south city gate of Lionheart City at night.

There were also not many people staring inside the south city wall.

The closest to the south city gate was the slums. They did not believe that there were poor people who dared to come to the city wall in the middle of the night without any regard for their lives. They could use the excuse of wanting to open the city gate privately to directly shoot the poor people who came.

Nothing like this had happened in more than ten years.

Everyone could be considered to be just killing time here at night and taking a small salary along the way.

There was no essential difference between a serious sentry and a lazy worker.

“Keep your spirits up, soldiers?” The commander of the sentry troop, a squad leader, said weakly.

This was just routine business.

He was afraid that someone would inform on him for not doing anything as an officer, and then took his place.

Although being the small captain of this sentry duty was not a good job, he was still a small captain. He could get 30 more small silver coins per week than ordinary soldiers.

After the small captain spoke, none of the soldiers on sentry duty paid attention to him. It was still the same.

The small captain did not speak again. He stood and even closed his eyes.

He planned to sleep for two hours first.

Then, he could sleep and snore until dawn.

Under the obscure moonlight, the 50 Sarleon Lion Knights turned into shadows and quietly arrived at the south gate tower.

The soldiers on sentry duty on the tower did not notice their arrival.

The south city wall was 10 meters high and spreading 50 meters to the east and west. The thickness of the wall was also 10 meters. This way, there would be a wide position on the wall near the city gate, so that when the enemy attacked the south gate, more soldiers would be placed on the south city wall to defend.

Below the city gate were three arched holes.

In each arched hole, there was a city gate that was six meters wide.

Besides the city gate, in each of the three arched holes, there were two soldiers stationed below each city gate.

They were the soldiers who were responsible for opening and closing the city gate. At this moment, they were lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.

This arched hole was much more comfortable than the city tower.

The six Sarleon Lion Knights slowly moved towards the soldiers stationed at the city gate who were sleeping on the ground in the three arched holes.

Almost at the same time, every Sarleon Lion Knights approached a soldier.

They did not use their knight swords. Instead, they held the soldier’s head with both hands and twisted it hard.

Snapping… Snapping…

The sound of a broken neck was very ear-piercing in the three arched holes. In fact, it was not because the sound was loud, but because the environment was too quiet.

The six soldiers guarding the city gate died silently in their sweet dreams.

Due to the structure of the arched holes, the sound of a broken neck could not be transmitted to the top of the city tower.

In each of the arched holes, the city gate was made of two extremely heavy wooden doors.

At this moment, the two wooden doors were tightly closed. Between the two wooden doors, there were three gates.

They were all made of extremely heavy and extremely tough wood.

The six Sarleon Lion Knights quietly pulled open the gates of the city gate.

If they pulled too quickly, they would be able to open the three city gates at the same time.

However, they did not do so.

When the thick and heavy city gates were opened, the creaking sound that they made would definitely be extremely loud in this quiet night.

It would definitely cause the guards on sentry duty on the dull tower to hear the movement of the city gates.

Furthermore, when the heavy city gate opened, it would cause the entire city tower to vibrate slightly. If the soldiers felt the slight vibration frequently, they would immediately know that the city gate had been opened.

These soldiers on sentry duty were not scary, but they could shout loudly and inform the nearby barracks.

When that time came, things would be a little troublesome.

The six Sarleon Lion Knights who had pulled open the gate were standing under the city gate.

They were waiting quietly, and at the same time, they were guarding against the soldiers who suddenly rushed into the arched cave and inserted the gate again.

The other 44 Sarleon Lion Knights quietly followed the concrete steps that were built close to the city wall and slowly approached the city tower step by step.

At the same time, they quietly and slowly pulled out the knight swords on their waists without making too much noise.

Just like that, they quietly stood on the steps close to the inner wall of the south city wall of Lionheart City. As long as they took two steps, they would be able to go up to the city wall and start a massacre.

They were waiting for the signal to sound.

If they just rushed up the city wall and started a massacre, there were more than 200 soldiers stationed on the city wall. No matter how fast they killed, there would definitely be soldiers who would inform the people in the nearby barracks through loud shouts.

At that time, General Baheshtur and the others outside would not have arrived and would not be able to enter the city.

On the other hand, the private armies Count Simon. Prynne’s family would surge out from the barracks and directly surround the fifty Sarleon Lion Knights.

Even if they opened the city gates and escaped, even if they could escape with their lives, Baheshtur ‘s plan to take down the city gates through a sneak attack would completely fail.

Therefore, they needed to wait.

Wait for Baheshtur ‘s signal or wait for the sentry soldiers on the city tower to give warning after they noticed Baheshtur and the others.

Then, it would be the time for them to rush up the city tower and kill wantonly.

It was also the time for the six Sarleon Lion Knights to open the city gate in the arched cave.

On the Reisneston River, 30 triremes and 120 sailboats, like shadows, quietly lurked near the navy camp of Lionheart City.

In the navy camp, there was a 30-meter wide and 200-meter long water bay that was dug out.

The warships of the navy were docked in this water bay.

On both sides of the water bay, there were some sentry towers. Behind the sentry towers were the navy camps.

At the same time, on both sides of the water bay, there was a small dock that was used to repair the warships.

At this moment, the navy camp was quiet.

The soldiers on the sentry tower were obviously similar to the guys on the south gate tower of Lionheart City.

Moreover, because there were few soldiers on sentry duty, they were even more unscrupulous.

They were also dozing off.

Kant led the water bandits, as well as his mages, mage apprentices, the Swadian Knights, and the Sarleon Lion Knight of Sarleon. They were also waiting quietly.

What he was waiting for was the earth-shattering battle cries coming from the south gate of Lionheart City.

At that time, he would be able to make his move.

If he made his move in advance, the battle cries here would definitely alarm the camp of the guards at the south gate of Lionheart City, which was three miles away.

It would affect Baheshtur ‘s plan to sneak attack and seize the south gate of Lionheart City.

Baheshtur ‘s plan was orderly and interlinked. Kant did not want Baheshtur’s plan to fail because of him.

He also hoped that Baheshtur ‘s surprise attack on Lionheart City would be an “Epic Battle” or a “Legendary Battle” comment to obtain system honor points.
