I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 225 Chaotic Battle (Part Two)

Connie didn't care about the secret passage discovered by her adjutant. She simply stood outside the makeshift tent, gazing at the distant city walls, rain streaming down her helmet and blurring her vision.

"Damn it, why are those guys moving so slowly?!"

Connie cursed in dissatisfaction.

"I'm definitely going to dock their bonuses later!"

The voice just fell.

"Sir!"

A player suddenly ran out of the darkness, holding a signal light that was flashing a faint light.

"Our inside man has signaled that they are in position and ready to open the city gates at any time!"

"very good!"

Connie smiled, but her smile didn't last long. Almost immediately, she heard the piercing sound of bells coming from the distant city walls, echoing through the rainy night and breaking the silence.

Then came the roar of gunfire and shouts of battle, all of which came through the rain from afar.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!"

This was Connie's first reaction and her judgment, and her subsequent decision was even more decisive and resolute.

"Quick, brothers, charge over there and take the city gate!!!"

Connie turned around and waved to the players who were watching her expectantly. The players carrying siege spears set off first amidst cheers, like tigers descending a mountain, pouncing towards the nearby Waterladnoy.

Then she turned to her adjutant and gave him a command.

"You and the others follow behind, and act according to the situation!"

After saying that, Connie turned and ran, following behind the player.

This left the adjutant, who was standing there waiting for orders, completely dumbfounded.

No, is that all?

Lieutenant Algernon stood frozen in place, rain dripping from his chin. He watched Connie and the group of lunatics rush towards the city gate, and suddenly felt that the "Battlefield Command" course taught in the night school officer crash course was a complete joke.

"Sir! What do we do?"

The messenger shook his shoulder anxiously.

The adjutant mechanically turned his head and saw more than a thousand regular soldiers behind him looking at him with expectant eyes. These well-trained soldiers were like hunting dogs abandoned in the rain by their masters, bewildered and aggrieved.

“Proceed according to…according to plan,” the adjutant said dryly, unsure of what kind of plan it was.

Suddenly, the adjutant remembered the little boy and the drainage ditch he had mentioned. Although Commander Connie said it was a trap, that was only her side of the story and had not been rigorously verified.

Moreover, even if it is a trap, it can be dismantled. In the midst of chaos, how many enemies would still remember it?
The adjutant gritted his teeth. Since his superior had told him to act according to the situation, he had to take some initiative too!

Just then, a series of deafening explosions came from the direction of the city gate, which was obviously the siege spears brought by Commander Connie coming into play.

Without a second thought, the adjutant immediately pointed to a captain.

"You, take your men and follow the child to the drainage ditch to see if it leads into the city. I'll take the rest of the others to support Commander Connie!"

"...Lieutenant, what are the specific tasks?"

"Play it by ear!"

Watching the adjutant's retreating figure, the captain who had been singled out was speechless.

What's going on? How come all the officers have turned into brutes overnight?

When the adjutant led his men to the foot of the walls of Vortradnoy, thick smoke was billowing from the city gate, and people on the walls were firing muskets down.

Following Commander Connie's barbarian warriors, some were charging headlong into the city gate, while others stood on both sides of the street, firing flintlock pistols and crossbows at the city walls. The two sides were exchanging blows, creating quite a lively scene. Seeing this, the adjutant quickly led his men up to join the exchange of fire.

The soldiers who followed Connie were all novices; they were well-trained, had seen blood, and were armed with excellent weapons and equipment. Everyone wore armor, and more than half of them were equipped with flintlock muskets.

They quickly spread out on the streets and fired volleys at the city walls. In the first round, about a hundred flintlock muskets were thrown into the attack, the gunfire dense and powerful.

The sporadic attacks on the city walls were immediately suppressed.

Connie was overjoyed.

"Well done, adjutant! I'll recommend you for commendation later!"

The adjutant, who still had no name, gave a bitter smile.

He would be overjoyed if he could successfully capture the city wall or escape unscathed after such a battle; he dared not hope for anything more.

As the enemies on the city wall are reduced, the player's journey to the city wall becomes much smoother.

But soon, everyone who went in rushed out, covered in dust and dirt.

Before Connie could even ask, they revealed the reason amidst their shouts and curses.

"Damn it, Connie, the city gate is blocked, we can't get in!"

"The siege spears are useless?"

"It won't explode!"

"Get on the city wall!"

Connie made a decisive move, and the other players followed suit, immediately rushing towards the city wall.

The walls of Vortradnoi are not short, about six or seven meters high, but because of its long history, houses have been built all around the walls, which has reduced the height of the walls.

The city hall of Vortradnoy did not send anyone to demolish the houses, whether because they were incapable or simply did not think of it.

So, the players who wanted to climb the city wall set their sights on a two-story house with a wooden and brick structure right next to the wall.

One player, an expert in civil engineering, came up with a construction plan after just one glance.

"Move the siege spears!"

he shouted.

"Detonate the explosives in this direction, close to the city wall. The collapsed buildings can reduce the height of the city wall by half!"

Without needing to verify anything, at this critical moment, three players immediately charged forward, fearlessly brandishing their siege spears.

After three consecutive explosions, the three people were killed instantly, and the house collapsed, forming a small slope at the foot of the city wall.

The adjutant, who witnessed the entire process, was deeply shocked.

No, where did Prince Chris find such an educated, knowledgeable, and selfless barbarian?
Could it be true, as some fanatical followers of the prince claim, that Prince Chris is a true god who saves the world and eliminates war and hunger?

And these so-called barbarians are his chosen ones?
The adjutant dared not think too much. While those barbarians were climbing the city walls by stepping on the ruins and using wooden poles and ropes, he organized his men to provide continuous volleys of fire from the rear to provide fire support.

"Charge! Charge forward!"

Connie shouted excitedly; she not only shouted, but also wanted to lead the charge herself.

Unfortunately, players find Connie a bit of a nuisance; every time she tries to charge, someone inadvertently blocks her way.

Experienced players have all suffered from annoying NPCs who disrupt quests in other games.

They're all wary of Connie now.
