System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1295 - 342: Defend the City and Slay the Enemy with Me (10,000 Words) Part 2

"Once there’s any anomaly outside the castle wall, they’ll report immediately..."

Godfrey heard this and pondered aloud.

He withdrew his gaze from the distant darkness, where campfires and bonfires burned.

Godfrey turned around and stepped toward the wall stairs.

However, he hadn’t taken more than a few steps.

Godfrey’s gaze was fixed on the ground beneath his feet.

Little stones or clumps of earth the size of eggs were quickly jumping and vibrating.

Seeing this, Godfrey couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

The next moment.

Godfrey realized something.

He turned his body, taking large strides to run to the edge of the wall.

Before he could reach the wall, a thunderous roar sounded outside.

The sounds were so loud, they were nearly deafening!

The soldiers of the Sword and Shield Corps stationed on the wall all changed color.

Godfrey reached the edge of the wall, quickly scanning around.

Very soon.

Godfrey’s gaze settled on the distant Marquis Polk’s camp area, and his pupils instantly contracted.

Behold.

Torches were lit throughout the camp area, converging into a flame tide.

Flowing from the camp area, it surged rapidly toward Spirit Reef Port.

Godfrey understood that beneath this flame tide was a cavalry charge.

Godfrey further understood.

Marquis Polk, who had gathered military forces, finally issued the command to attack Spirit Reef Port again!

It wasn’t just Godfrey who saw the frenzied surge of the flame tide.

Alongside Godfrey was Danke.

The Sword and Shield Corps soldiers stationed on the wall opened their eyes wide, filled with anxiety.

Prior to this.

They were clear about the number and strength of Marquis Polk’s army soldiers.

Additionally, relying on the defensive fortifications of Spirit Reef Port’s walls.

The Sword and Shield Corps soldiers had absolute confidence.

To successfully defend Spirit Reef Port against Marquis Polk’s army.

But now, the Sword and Shield Corps soldiers have already endured two sieges.

With huge casualties, mentally and physically exhausted, lacking any support.

Now.

Summoning such numerous lord reinforcements, Marquis Polk’s army attacks again, launching a third siege.

The Sword and Shield Corps soldiers in Spirit Reef Port will be powerless to resist.

As the flame tide draws closer, the thundering gallop of the warhorses nearly envelops all of Spirit Reef Port!

Whether in the soldiers’ barracks or the buildings where civilians reside, oil lamps or candles are lit.

They open their doors or windows, or come out onto the streets.

Without any words, their gaze uniformly turns outside the walls of Spirit Reef Port.

They can clearly hear the thunderous roar rapidly approaching.

On their faces, there is either surprise or anticipation...

But mostly, it’s the fear of war!

Even before the Sword and Shield Corps soldiers occupied Spirit Reef Port.

They were residents of Marquis Polk’s territory.

But now.

Marquis Duca’s Sword and Shield Corps has occupied Spirit Reef Port for months.

Even if Marquis Polk retakes Spirit Reef Port again, ordinary residents like them will surely face suppression and consequences from Marquis Polk.

Because.

After the Sword and Shield Corps soldiers occupied Spirit Reef Port, as residents of Marquis Polk’s territory, they didn’t resist.

Furthermore, under notice from Sword and Shield Corps soldiers, they continued living...

Upon the wall.

Godfrey, appointed as Spirit Reef Port’s highest commander, remains steadily standing.

His gaze, sharp, penetrates the night, relentlessly fixed on the flame tide in the distance.

Godfrey’s spoken words are chilling to the extreme.

"Sound the alarm immediately! Gather all Sword and Shield Corps soldiers within Spirit Reef Port."

"Prepare to face the enemy’s final wave of attack!"

Feeling the infinite aura emitting from the back of Godfrey, Danke’s body shuddered suddenly, responding loudly in haste.

"Yes, Commander!"

As Godfrey had no further instructions, Danke hesitated not a moment, quickly summoning the nearby patrol team.

Beginning to relay the orders given by Godfrey.

In a short while.

Clang clang clang~

The patrol team swiftly descended from the wall, split into several squads, quick-stepping toward Spirit Reef Port.

In their hands, the iron gongs were struck ringing loudly.

Awakening sleeping soldiers and civilians, frightening the domesticated poultry and livestock...

In an instant.

The fearful noisy chatter, one figure after another ran on the streets, roosters crowed, dogs barked, children cried out in confusion...

The entire Spirit Reef Port turned into chaos.

With numerous Sword and Shield Corps soldiers, clad in standard armor, gripping their weapons.

Surging from Spirit Reef Port, gathering beneath the wall.

Led by soldier captains, they climbed up the wall, heading to their respective defense areas to begin their watch.

Above Spirit Reef Port, besides the thundering gallop of the warhorses.

The thudding steps of armored soldiers and the clashing sounds of armor components continuously echoed.

Listening to such sounds.

Standing firm atop the wall, Godfrey turned his gaze, scanning the walls on both sides.

More and more Sword and Shield Corps soldiers climbed onto the wall.

They went to stand by where Rolling Wood and Stones were stored, readying for defensive combat.

Despite the Ducas Clan’s Sword and Shield Corps soldiers, hardened through years of training, having participated in many wars.

Those surviving now are elites among the soldier ranks.
