Chapter 516 - The Relaxed Navy Camp

Chapter 516: The Relaxed Navy Camp

A sailboat carrying Rhodok Sharpshooter quietly approached the north bank of the Resniston River under the cover of the night.

They arrived near the dock on the west side of the navy camp.

Following that, they directly used their powerful siege crossbows on the oar sailboat and aimed at the Navy soldiers on sentry towers near the dock.

Shhtaab! Shhtaab! Shhtaab!

The sound of sharp blades piercing flesh wasn’t very loud.

However, the scene was extremely messy and bloody.

The heads of the dozens of navy soldiers on sentry towers fell from their necks almost at the same time.

The terrifying city-attacking crossbows exploded with terrifying power within a distance of 100 meters.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The heads of the sentries fell to the ground of the sentry tower, making a sound.

The sentries fell to the ground of the tower one after another.

They also made muffled sounds.

They couldn’t travel far.

Rhodok Sharpshooters was an extremely powerful level 5 sniper. In terms of killing ability, they were even stronger than the Ravenstern Rangers.

Every shot was accurate!

In this late night, the porters, supervisors, and gangsters who had worked hard for a day on the dock all fell asleep.

Even the merchant ships on the river were pitch-black.

A dark shadow approached along the waterway that the merchant ships had specially opened to enter and exit.

Thirty triremes and one hundred and twenty sailboats.

Compared to the huge merchant ships, they were really petite and exquisite.

If they were neatly arranged on the Resniston River and sailed together, they would naturally be a large group of fleets.

However, it was nothing when they were integrated into the hundreds and thousands of huge merchant ships near the port of Lionheart City.

Even at night, there would occasionally be merchant ships that arrived at the port outside Lionheart City.

The 150 triremes and sailboats slowly approached the docks.

There was a slight sound of water breaking.

However, it did not attract much attention.

Even if there were people lying on the deck of many merchant ships, dozing off, they were still guarding the cargo on the deck.

Who could be bothered to stare at the pitch-black surface of the Resniston River?

As long as the goods on their own merchant ships did not make any noise and were not stolen during the night, everything would be peaceful.

Baron Kant’s army was absolutely elite.

They slowly made their way to the dock of Lionheart City in the dark, but they were extremely quiet.

Even the hooves of warhorse were covered with several layers of coarse linen. When they stepped onto the dock from the ship, they would not make a loud sound.

There were 500 Mamlukes, 500 Vaegir Marksmen, 500 Ravenstern Rangers, 500 Rhodok Sharpshooter and 1000 Rhodok Sergeants.

A total of 3,000 soldiers, all were level 5 troop class.

All of them silently boarded the dock of Lionheart City.

Finally, Baheshtur led 50 Swadian Royal Knights and also boarded the dock of Lionheart City.

Then, they silently moved towards the south gate of Lionheart City.

The sailors who were dozing on the watchtower on the road were all killed by the terrifying Rhodok Sharpshooters.

And on the triremes and sailboats, there were still some water bandits and Baron Kant.

There were also powerful mage troop, 50 Swadian Knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights.

The fleet moved silently from the dock like a shadow once again, moving towards the east in the passage that the merchant ships had specially cleared out.

Their target was the navy camp.

Baron Kant was entrusted a heavy task to Baheshtur. After they took down the south gate of Lionheart City, they would occupy the navy camp on the dock of Lionheart City.

This way, they could connect Lionheart City’s dock with the water bandits’ lair in the East County’s Sargoth Castle.

When the occupied Lionheart City was caught in a pincer attack from the north and the south, they could obtain a water supply line.

In terms of battle strength on water, the water bandits of the Continent of Caradia who were proficient in water battles were stronger the rabble of water bandits in this world.

In fact, the water bandits in the water bandits’ lair often did some siege and pillage in the Continent of Caradia.

They were not just water bandits in the sense that they could not be regarded as a mob.

In the Continent of Caradia, these water bandits were the bandit groups formed by the Nords, the Swadians, and the Vaegirs.

They were once the secret agents of the Nords’ invasion.

In their most glorious times, they assisted the main forces of the Nords to destroy the Continent of Caradia, the famous neutral city of Zendar. However, after the destruction of Zendar, they were all killed and banished after they fulfilled their functions. They were forcibly disbanded by the Nords and eventually became the bandits on both sides of the river. They harassed the kingdoms on both sides of the river. Even their former employer, the Kingdom of Nords, suffered greatly from them.

At this moment, the water bandits under Kant were much stronger than when they were in Caradia.

Among the 1,200 water bandits, there were 600 Water Bandit Minions, 400 Water Bandit Bosuns, and 200 Water Bandit Captains.

In addition, there were 200 mages, 100 mage apprentices, 50 Swadian Knights, and 50 Sarleon Lion Knights under Kant’s control.

With such a powerful force, it was naturally easy to deal with 2,000-man water troops of Lionheart City.

These 2,000-man water troops of Lionheart City were not elites. They were just relying on their numbers and organizational structure to drive away the rabble of water bandits in the upper and lower reaches of the river.

The truly elite soldiers of the Dukedom of Leo were all trained into powerful heavy cavalry.

In Lionheart City, 50 Sarleon Lion Knights gathered together and silently made their way to the south gate of Lionheart City.

The south gate of Lionheart City was guarded by a private army of a top noble family in the Dukedom of Leo’s South County.

There were 3000-man troops stationed there all year round.

Apart from the city gate tower, there were also 200 soldiers stationed in the arrow tower.

The rest of the soldiers were in the barracks near the south city gate.

The south city gate was the most lucrative city gate in Lionheart City. All the goods that passed through the dock had to enter and leave Lionheart City through the south city gate.

Hence, the private army of the noble family that could guard the south city gate came from the strongest of the four top-ranked counts in the South County.

Count Simon Prynne.

Above the gate tower of the south city gate of Lionheart City.

“Ah ~ ~ ~”

Yawn!

A soldier yawned. His eyes were a little hazy and full of sleepiness.

In the past, he was also an elite soldier. However, after staying on the gate tower of the south city gate of Lionheart City for several years, his sharpness was gradually worn away. Now, he was just wasting his time here.

He had no connections and background, so he could only be assigned here to guard the city gate. It was not a good thing for soldiers like them to patrol the south area of Lionheart City during the day.

The truly rich and powerful ones were still enjoying the gentle breasts of the maids in the tavern of Lionheart City!

Who would stand guard here?
