Outside the city, all seemed peaceful, with only a few black monsters occasionally wandering outside the city, seemingly alone and lost, although they were just as hostile attacking the city walls.
However, with the single power of a few of them, it was obviously a fool’s errand to attack the city.
On the walls of the eastern gate, the soldiers on guard stood bored on guard, but their eyelids were fighting.
Anyone would have been “disappointed” to find out that there were few “enemies” under their feet and that they posed no threat, so naturally, sleep was the best way to pa*s the time.
On the walls, there were about a hundred or so such soldiers, most of the original garrison having been transferred to the northern gate.
Just as the soldier was in the middle of his snooze, suddenly, he clearly felt something approaching behind him.
A quick glance back woke the doze straight away, and in a panic he then hurriedly gripped his lance and steeled himself.
“What, shall we find you a bed?” Beside him, the voice said coldly.
The soldier instantly squeezed out a drop of cold sweat from his forehead and said, “Report captain, I was wrong.”
“If everyone who makes a mistake can say I was wrong and be fine, then what is the use of having rules in this world, what is the use of having decrees? What do you say?!”
The soldier sweatdropped and thought about it, and was about to speak.
But the voice said, “The evening meal is on you.”
The soldier nodded heatedly, although it was quite heartbreaking to lose some money, it was better than any other punishment.
“Well? What’s the situation?” The voice asked, then looked at the outside of the walls.
It was still calm, nothing was happening.
The soldier shook his head and said, “It’s just that there’s nothing going on outside, and I’m …… bored to snooze this.”
“What, by the tone of your voice, you still can’t wait for something to happen outside?” The voice laughed softly and then said, “There is nothing you can just enjoy yourself, at least you are in the mood to be lazy here now. Over in the North City, the situation is already critical.”
The soldier nodded, he knew this and shook his head, “I don’t mean that, I can wake up from sleep laughing when I can follow the captain and eat good food and drink good food.”
“That’s a human thing to say. I’ll tell you a secret, since you’re so sweet.” The captain laughed lightly.
The soldier hurriedly came to life and asked, “Captain, what’s the secret?”
“Just now I heard some whispers that the Pei family’s grandson has gone to inform the elite soldiers of Fierce Blood Town that it won’t be long before the crisis in our main city is lifted.”
“sh*t, no wonder the captain just punished me to buy the night snack, screwed up half a day ……” the soldier gladly understood, then hey a smile, said: “If I had known it was because of this, you do not even punish, I directly treat even ah .”
“To treat, not just lip service.” The captain looked up at the sky, it was almost noon and it was really time to eat something: “It’s almost noon.”
The soldier, despite his low rank, had been with his captain for a day or two, so he knew what he meant in a second and farted off down the wall to get something.
Soon after, the group laid down their weapons and ate and drank with gusto.
While they were quietly having fun, they didn’t know that outside the city, in the dense forest, the sound of footsteps was quietly approaching.
As they approached the edge of the forest, the man at the forefront raised his hand and the group of them not only stopped, but also quickly bent down and hid their forms in the gra*s.
Immediately afterwards, at the very front, a head poked out and quietly peeked towards the city wall for a moment before quickly retracting.
“Lord Zhu, you really are as good as your prediction, this eastern city gate’s defences are indeed incredibly weak.” The man couldn’t help but rejoice after shrinking his head back.
This group of people was no other than the Hei Yu and other troops who had retreated on the surface but had actually secretly detoured back to the eastern gate.
“However, I really don’t understand, actually our move is not that clever, this is a common strategy in any battlefield, why does City Master Zhu necessarily think that we will definitely succeed?”
“Or would the enemy be so stupid as to give us the slip? Why would they be so careless when this would be the end of the line for them?”
The man was very strange, but Zhu Yan Shuo, smiling gently, seemed to have a clear idea of what to expect, and then pointed to his chest ……
