Chapter 1065 Lord Parker’s Attack

Chapter 1065 Lord Parker's Attack

In the time the mansion was being secured, both Remus and Lord Parker received their respective signals, both amusingly from Alexander, and both through a mirror stationed around a window.

The former was given the signal as a warning to prepare himself for the imminent assault about to be launched toward his way.

While the latter was given the go ahead to attack with the intention that Alexander would be able to inflict some good damage on these forces, and perhaps even more importantly, distract them from the real prize- the burning of the ships.

Lord Parker however of course did not know about this trap and so upon seeing the signal, quickly became excited.

He turned to Achillas pointed to the lone ray of light and shouted in glee, "Look! There! There it is! Hahaha, blow the horns! Now! Quick! Hahaha." Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

Lord Parker had been put in a very good mood from the moment the first messenger had come to him, bearing glad tidings of the scheduled attempt.

The man was truly glad that the Margraves had at last come around to his way of thinking. So he could not help but keep regularly offering up a small giggle or guffaw.

"Yes, my lord." While Achillas was much more reserved and taciturn, as he entered his 'general mode', focusing more on controlling the soldiers and making sure everything went according to the plan

Which was, to be fair, relatively simple and straightforward- the men were to attack the lines head on hard and fast, with everything they got in a kind of one giant hammer strike, thus breaking through everything in the first hit.

This was perhaps not the best or most sophisticated way to break through such heavily defended lines, kind of like how smashing your head against a stone wall was not the best way to enter a house, but given the congested streets and generally narrow terrain Achillas found himself in, this was really the only option available to him.

So the man hoped the surprise of the night attack and the sheer mass of men behind it would be enough to overwhelm the defenders

And if that did not work, there was always the next back up plan.

Achillas under Lord Parker's instruction had already selected two thousand men to board the ships at the Great Harbor, the units ready to head out at a moment's notice.

The plan here too was simple.

It called for them to quickly sail to the Royal Harbor in a surprise attack and create a beachhead there, thus forcing the defending legionnaires to leave their entrenched positions and go shore up their exposed flanks, hence making them deal with a two pronged attack.

And in trying to defend both places, hopefully failing to do either.

Achillas personally was quite hopeful about this pincher maneuver.

*Trumpet*, *Trumpet*, *Trumpet*,

And so it was with such high hopes that the general blew the horn, breaking the covertness of night and signaling the soldiers to attack.

The Heeat family soldiers began to immediately form up upon hearing this, the clatter and chorus of loud shouts and officious cries suddenly buzzing out of Lord Parker's camp like it was suddenly a busy day inside a fish market.

Which certainly alerted even the most daydreaming legionary in Alexander's camp to the imminent threat.

Anyway, with the soldiers finally ready for battle with their properly maintained arms and armor, they would then report to their superior, who would combine the various individual squads into proper fighting formation and at last lead them into battle.

While during all of this time, Lord Parker's men would be busy smashing their fisting against the lightly defended lines with overwhelming numbers and likely even succeeding.

Knowing of this golden opportunity, the Heeat family officers thus began to immediately mobilize their men, barking out,

"There! There is the horn! Quick! Do not waste a second. Attack before the enemy can wake up. Attack before they get the chance to fight you. Attack before they even have the chance to know you!"

"Haaaaah!" And the men too responded with a great cheer, before beginning to hurriedly charge, knowing that the faster they arrived at the defensive lines, the better their odds were of catching the other side off guard and thus better the chances of their survival.

But alas!

Reality was much different from what Achillas and Lord Parker had expected.

Because much contrary to their expectations, the lines were not lightly defended.

They were very heavily defended, much more than even how they typically were during the daytime.

And to make them even more 'thorny', Alexander's men had also laid out a very special surprise for the incoming men.

Who soon got the message, as shots of pained cries and surprised yelps began to ring across the entire formation.

"Ahhh! What was that? My feet!"

"Me too! Aghhh! Something pierced by foot!"

"Uggghhh! Don't push bastard! I can't walk! Ohhhhh... hurts so much! Dammit, hope I don't lose the leg."

"What is this? Something scattered all around?I can't see anything in this darkness, fuck!"

"Feels like some kind of thon! Hey, bring the torch here. The bastards have done something to the roads."

"Caltrops! They are metal caltrops. Bastards! They were not during the day when I scouted the place."

"They must lay them around only during the night. Clever swine. How are we supposed to get past these?"

It was like this the Heeat family came across their first defensive hurdle.
