Chapter 444
"You mean, you want me to go to Dia City first?"
"That's right, there are few of you, but your personal strength is outstanding, which is most suitable for this task, and only by confirming that there are no enemies in it can we avoid suffering from enemies in the belly."
Hanan thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, just in case, we don't have to go all, leave a few people to help you better,"
Farafla interrupted with a wave of his hand: "The army is fighting, how can a few people help?"
Even if you are a sea thief who has been offered a reward of 40 million, hey, this is a war, personal martial courage is useless, and among thousands of troops, it is just a waste of life.
Farafoula seemed to be patiently explaining, but his tone was disdainful but not concealed in the slightest: "That is, for the sake of you helping the rebels, I am good at persuading, you, do you know what I mean?"
"Hannan, why did he let us go to Dia City?" Jessica rode forward on her war horse and asked Yuenan next to her.
In the end, Hanan accepted Farafola's suggestion and took all his partners to scout, while the rebels, after repairing in place, advanced several miles northeast of the city of Dia, and then stood in formation, waiting for Hanan to send back information before making a decision.
Hannan's attitude towards Farafola did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
First, as Farafola said, Hanan had never seen two armies fighting, let alone know how to line up troops.
In the event of a large-scale confrontation, it is really difficult to say how much personal force can play, according to Farrafora's meaning, it should be afraid that they will drag their feet.
Moreover, it is possible that the left and right arms will remain in Dia City, after all, they originally broke the city.
If you encounter a large number of enemy attacks, even if you are not defeated, the first choice should be to rely on the city defense to stand for help, in the worst case, even if the entire army is destroyed, there should be clues in the city.
Hanan also rode on a high-headed war horse and explained casually: "Farafola is afraid that there is an ambush in the city, in order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, let us help."
Jessica was even more dissatisfied: "The rebels really called us as subordinates?"
Hanan looked at the city that was getting closer and closer, and whispered to her: "Don't complain, we are now in a mutually beneficial relationship, it is said that on the other side of the hill, there is a royal army brigade, his worries are not unreasonable, and his right arm may still be in the city."
Harvey, Akin and Charlie also changed into war horses, although the camel sits comfortably, but can sprint short distances, or war horses have a speed advantage.
Charlie was the most anxious, his legs tightly clamped the horse's belly, constantly speeding up, faintly distanced himself from several people in Yunan, and Hanan quickly beckoned everyone to follow.
As he approached the city gate, Hanan looked up and saw that there was no one behind the battlements, several sections of the wall had collapsed, some areas were potholes, apparently under heavy shelling, some of the outer walls had fallen off, revealing the adobe inside, and there were several places in the city where billowing black smoke was billowing out.
Hanan was thinking about whether to dismount and enter the city, and a dozen soldiers of the king's army wearing standard armor rode out of the city gate, and when they saw Hanan's people, they were stunned at first.
Then he screamed a few times, and without questioning, he raised his musket and shot.
Charlie rushed to the front, since he was the first to be attacked, dozens of projectiles whistled, he was in a hurry, quickly jumped off his horse, turned over a few heels on the ground before getting up, and was about to rush over, but saw two black shadows flashing in front of him.
It was Hanan and Akin, who had the sharpest intuition in battle, and although they suddenly encountered the enemy, they reacted the fastest, jumping high at the first time, making the moon step, and in the blink of an eye, they were among the group of enemies.
As the screams sounded, the first few soldiers had been knocked to the ground, Hanan wanted to leave some alive, but this group of people were very fierce, all of them were not afraid of death, even the fallen people struggled up, red eyes to fight again, the moves are also to fight for life, in desperation, Hanan and Akin made heavy hands and killed several people in a row.
Seeing this, Charlie hurried over to help, Jessica and Harvey were faster, and by the time Charlie arrived, the soldiers had all been killed, and only Harvey activated the fruit ability and captured a prisoner.
Hanan quickly asked Harvey to pull the captives aside, Charlie went to collect his horses, and Akin and Jessica stood by the city gate on guard.
The gates had been destroyed, and the openings were filled with heavy remains of door panels, piles of charred wood chips, and several corpses scattered, not like the king's army, nor like the rebels, but more like the common people.
Akin observed for a while, did not find any enemy coming, turned to walk towards Hanan, but saw that Hanan's face was livid, looking at the corpse on the ground in a daze, Harvey also froze in place with a shocked expression.
"This man actually committed suicide?!" Harvey suddenly said, "No, do you remember Hannan, we have seen this kind of dead man on that island!" "
Huh?" Hanan was shocked and replied: "That's right, when Fang Cai clashed, I found that something was wrong, the difference in strength was so great, even the most powerful enemy would have the meaning of hesitation or retreat, but this group of people couldn't wait to pounce and take a bite,"
Hanan suddenly remembered Nabos's strange condition before his death, hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power, carefully probed the surroundings, but found nothing, did not find spiritual fluctuations, and couldn't help frowning.
"I was careless." Harvey pried open the corpse's mouth and found the deadly poison on his teeth, exactly the same as the one used by the dead on Nameless Island.
Charlie had just led everyone's war horses over and asked in a deep voice: "Captain, are we on foot or on horseback?"
Yu Nan said: "Since it has been discovered, riding a horse can also save some physical strength, walk, and enter the city." "
Huh, where's Jessica?" Harvey saw that only Jessica's horse was empty, and hurriedly asked everyone.
At this time, a terrified scream came from the city, it was Jessica's voice.
Several people were suddenly startled, and quickly urged the horse to go in, did not go far along the main street, and saw Jessica standing not far away.
They entered through the south gate, the traditional urban layout of Alabastan, the southern city is generally mixed by commercial and residential areas, at this time Jessica is standing at the entrance of the street, covering her small mouth with her hands, standing in place like a fool.
A few people from Hanan rode over and looked inside the street, 'Hiss'! I couldn't help but gasp.
On the originally wide street, the houses on both sides are all dilapidated, several shops along the street are still burning, large black smoke rises into the sky, and the ground is full of corpses of different shapes, layered and dense, with no end in sight.
"This, this is?" Harvey's eyes widened, incredulous: "Could it be Tucheng?"
Charlie was even more shocked and sat on the ground, although he was accustomed to life and death, but such a tragic situation made him feel like he had come to the purgatory on earth.
Only Akin was very calm, holding his great sword and looking around, cautiously guarding.
