Chapter 518: The Approaching Army

On the dock in the notch of the south city wall of Lionheart City.

Baheshtur led 50 Swadian Knights and 3,000 strong soldiers of level 5 troop class. Under the cover of the night, they slowly moved towards the south city gate.

Three thousand soldiers. Even though they were all elites, this number was still very large compared to this small dock.

Although the road leading to the south gate of Lionheart City was very wide, it was thirty meters wide for the convenience of the carriage.

However, the length of the three thousand soldiers walking on this road was still more than a hundred meters.

There was a huge black mass.

There were so many people.

Their speed couldn’t be too fast.

Their footsteps had to be gentle. Otherwise, the sound of slightly heavier footsteps would be heard everywhere.

It would definitely alarm the countless people living on the dock.

Baheshtur had already issued orders to all these soldiers when he was on the ship.

With the elite level of these soldiers, they undoubtedly carried out Baheshtur’s orders very well.

Even the 500 Mamlukes and 50 Royal Swadian Knights did not make too much noise because the warhorses’ mouths and hooves were wrapped in coarse linen.

Along the way, the Ravenstern Rangers or the Rhodok Sharpshooters killed the drunkards that occasionally appeared on the streets, or the poor people or gangsters that were awakened by the army to investigate.

After all, there were more than 3,000 soldiers advancing. Even if their footsteps were light, they would still make some noise.

There were always some people who slept very lightly or were very easily awakened.

If they couldn’t bear it and dared to come to the streets to investigate, the outcome would be very miserable.

After almost half an hour of slow progress, the south gate of Lionheart City was already very close, only a hundred meters away.

This was all thanks to the fact that tonight was the beginning of the new moon, and the moonlight was extremely dim.

It was almost pitch black twenty meters away, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Otherwise, if it was a crescent moon or a full moon, under the bright moonlight, even two hundred meters away, one could vaguely see their movement.

When they were so close to the city gate, Baheshtur ordered the troops to stop.

Of course, he did not use ordinary shouting to give the order.

Baheshtur directly imitated three dog barks, and the troops suddenly stopped.

If it was Firentis, he probably would not be willing to imitate a dog bark.

But for Baheshtur, he did not care. As long as he could win, a mere imitation of a dog barks was nothing.

Baheshtur looked at the outline of the city gate in the darkness in front of him. It was very blurry. It was really too dark tonight. The brightness of the new moon was really not much different from the absence of the moon.

Baheshtur believed that the Sarleon Lion Knights who had sneaked into Lionheart City must have completed the task that he had given them. Perhaps they had already opened up the gates of the city.

As long as he led the army to charge, he would be able to charge into the south gate of Lionheart City immediately.

However, Baheshtur did not do that.

He needed eek stability!

There was no need to be in a hurry.

Baheshtur put the thumb and index finger of his right hand into his mouth and whistled with a short pause.

He was mimicking the cry of an owl.

Baheshtur paused for about 30 seconds and mimicked it again.

The sound traveled a long distance.

In this quiet night, it was even more abrupt.

In the South County of the Dukedom of Leo, where the prosperous plains were, there were many of these birds.

They fed on voles and snakes and moved around at night.

The soldiers who were born in the South County were very familiar with this kind of bird call.

Therefore, although the bird call of the owls that moved around at night were very abrupt, they did not arouse the vigilance of the soldiers on the city wall.

No one stipulated that no owl could fly nearby, right?

Unless they were standing sentry very seriously, not letting go of any serious movements.

But obviously, this was impossible.

The signal had been sent.

If the Sarleon Knights lurking in Lionheart City did not act according to the scheduled time and had not completed his plan at this time, then Baheshtur would imitate the howls of the owl every ten minutes.

Only when the Sarleon Knights of Lionheart City completed his plan and had a corresponding response would Baheshtur lead more than 3,000 elite soldiers to charge into the south gate of Lionheart City.

The result proved that the Sarleon Lion Knights, who were a troop class 6 and comparable to the grand knights of the peak of the world, were trustworthy partners.

When Baheshtur gave the signal for the first time, there was a battle cry coming from the gate tower of Lionheart City.

At the same time, the three city gates of Lionheart City’s south city gate were opened at the same time.

Then, six torches were lit in the three arched tunnels at the south city gate of Lionheart City.

Baheshtur was excited, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes.

He directly roared, “Order: all troops raise fire!”

Now, there was no need to hide anymore!

He directly charged in!

In this pitch-black night, a light source was a must.

Otherwise, if they were to march rapidly in the dark, it was very likely that they would be trampled by their comrades to death.

Every soldier, be it Mamlukes, Vaegir Marksmen, the Ravenstern Rangers, the Rhodok Sharpshooters, or the Rhodok Sergeants, all took down the torches on their waists and held them in their hands.

Even the Swadian Knights did the same.

Every squad leaders carried a flint.

In a short period of time, the entire army lit up the fire. More than three thousand torches burned fiercely.

The only person in the entire army who did not hold torches was Baheshtur.

Baheshtur rode on a warhorse and was at the front of the entire army.

At this moment, he pulled out the knight sword at his waist, raised it towards the sky, and shouted loudly, “Soldiers, follow me and charge in, exterminate the south city gate barracks!”

As he spoke, Baheshtur led the charge, but of course, his speed was only medium.

“Kill!”

Three thousand level 5 elite troop class soldiers all responded loudly.

The Royal Swadian Knights and Mamlukes all followed Baheshtur and galloped.

One thousand Rhodok Sergeants followed closely behind the cavalries, holding torches as they trotted forward.

Five hundred Vaegir Marksmen followed closely behind Rhodok Sergeants were also holding torches as they trotted forward.

Five hundred Rhodok Sharpshooters followed behind the Vaegir Marksmen, also holding torches as they trotted forward.

Finally, there were 500 Ravenstern Rangers. As they were proficient in both long-range attacks and battles, they were purposely arranged to be at the back.

At this moment, they were only 100 meters away from the south gate of Lionheart City. The barracks of the south gate was just below the walls on both sides of the city gate. On one side, there were 1500 of Count Simon. Prynne’s family private soldiers.
