Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 356 Detective Master Caroline

Night fell silently.

Clouds obscured the moonlight, as had been the case in recent nights.Abundant warm water vapor will come from south to north at this time of year every year. In the northern part of Amasir, it will collide with the cold air from the south of the quiet mountains, forming a long period of rainfall.

In the past few days, it has rained sporadically a few times, and it is not surprising that it is the vanguard of the next rainy season.

But for Cyril, this is not a very favorable situation.

Although the dark night didn't affect him, it was a big trouble for Siliki's new army.In the chaotic night, it is estimated that the level of training that novices with no combat experience can display is less than one in ten.

The bigger problem is that the missing piece of the city wall is undoubtedly an open door for the enemy.

If the commander of the Vader family was smart enough, he would choose to enter Somi City directly through this gap after the daytime investigation.

The predecessor of Suomi City was a small strategic castle, but it only had a small amount of troops, which could serve as a quick support when the Ao San Emma attacked the eastern forest.After changing to a normal living city, the population is still small, and the number of garrisons is the least among the three cities.

For a noble soldier, even if there are only 100 of them, as long as they can enter the city through the breach, they can take the city steadily.

At this time, Atsk, Baron Jean, and those mercenaries who fought together on the Magic Plains, and now the newly formed first part of the Siliki City Defense are guarding the gap in the city wall. Azik, who graduated from the academy, also has the ability to deal with night attacks.

The number of nearly a hundred people in the first part can also ensure that they will not be overwhelmed by the enemy in an instant.

The rest of the new army was lined up on the city wall facing the northern jungle where Cyril was, and they took turns watching the night in batches.The torches illuminated the faces of the recruits, and the good news was that the excitement on their faces was greater than the fear.

Most of the elves of the Dawn Patrol Team are also concentrated here, and their keen insight can help inexperienced rookies discover the movements of the enemy army.

After discussing with Atsk, Cyril was even more convinced that this would not be a safe and sound night. Atsk said this:
"I think that with the ruthless style of the Griffin people in Palannia, seeing this dilapidated small town after a long journey will definitely be like a hungry old man kicking open the widow's house."

And it turns out he was right.

The not-so-gentle night wind blew through the distant jungle, causing the leaves to rustle, and then blew across this seemingly quiet city.Meng Fei stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful in the wind, put it in front of his nose and took a deep breath, then he had a strange look on his face.

"My lord, there is a smell of blood in the wind, they are coming."

"Blood smell?"

Cyril listened attentively, but did not hear the voice belonging to the light armor. So it seems that the other party is wearing leather armor?Is this a scout force?
But he saw that Meng Feila's expression became more and more dignified.The elf's insight ability is by no means just eyesight and hearing. At this moment, she obviously got far more information from the wind than Cyril got:
"There is a strong smell of blood. They should have carried out a killing not long ago... They are approaching, approaching, approaching, and soon... The whole army is on alert!"

Meng Feila suddenly raised her hand and shouted, which lifted the spirits of the soldiers who were a little bored in the dark night of waiting.They clenched the sword and shield in their hands, staring intently at the darkness below.

On the contrary, Cyril felt even more puzzled. It stands to reason that Memphis could catch the opponent's rapid approach. There should be a lot of movement at this marching speed, but the wind technique still didn't bring him any feedback from the sound—he After all, he could only listen to the natural night wind, and he didn't have the ability to whip up a gust of wind to sweep and investigate places hundreds of meters away.

When did the Palanians have such elite scouts?Those hands and feet, let them play snitches who sneak even worse than halflings—

Or are they not Palanians?
The moment this idea appeared, it occupied Cyril's entire mind.He rushed to the edge of the city wall in three steps at a time, and looked into the distance with all his eyesight, and finally vaguely saw a few blurred dots at the end of his sight, which seemed to be groping towards the direction of the city wall.

"Caroline, northeast, let your cats and dogs go to investigate." Cyril said in a deep voice. The latter had been whispering to Elena before, and immediately nodded to him, and then closed his eyes. , fully controlling her "companion"——

Cyril only saw two white shadows running in the direction he said, as if they were having fun, they were so small that they disappeared in the blink of an eye.He leaned close to Caroline, and heard the girl chanting words:
"There's a rock over there, jump over it... Oh, you're so stupid, let Inu perform for you, and see how Inu dances! Well, you're amazing too..."

She concentrates on manipulating her skeleton, as if she is training two little lives, it sounds so interesting.Not long after, Caroline opened her eyes and said to herself:

"Okay, you saw them, hey...they're big...ah, Cyril, when did you stare at me?"

The little girl was so startled that she nearly jumped from the firing holes in the battlements.Cyril quickly grabbed her and asked:

"Did you find them?"

"I found it, I found it, they... oops, they are going to run away again, let me tell you, they don't wear clothes at all, they all look fierce, and they have tattoos on their bodies..."

No clothes?So fierce?Got a tattoo?so big?
For a moment, Cyril couldn't tell how much of it was Caroline's exaggeration, but the fact that he didn't wear clothes made him confused-what troops would not wear clothes?Savage?Or a water monkey popping out of the Elgin River?

He quickly tossed aside these rambling thoughts: they had come through the Dark Forest, from the North, had something to do with Pallania, were shirtless, tall...

etc!Could this group of people be...

Northern barbarians?
Just as he was thinking of this, he heard Caroline give a soft "Ah", then opened her eyes pitifully and looked at Cyril: "Inu was crushed."

Cyril reached out and rubbed her face: "Next time pinch a big dog, remember who stepped on it, and bite it back."

The little girl nodded vigorously, and Cyril had already called a recruit, asking him to immediately take this guess to the city wall at the breach and pass it on to Atsk.

He held his chin, imagining in his mind the possible route the other party might choose...

This is 1440. According to the time calculation, the barbarians in the Northland may indeed be captured by the Palanians.

If the opponent is really the barbarians of the Northland, then they will definitely choose to enter through the breach. The barbarians of the Northland are brave and good at fighting, but they lack certain battlefield insight...

Then he reached out and tapped lightly on the city brick twice:
"Get ready, open the city gate."
