System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1339: Assault on Kakasong City? (10K)_3
Previously on System: Build My Own Territory...
Samuel immediately turned his head to look.
Only to see.
A guard wearing Church standard plate armor, was galloping on a warhorse.
The guard’s chest armor was stained with large swathes of scarlet blood!
Samuel’s brow instantly furrowed.
Not just Samuel.
The Church guards standing nearby, and the believer soldiers lined up, all saw the blood-soaked guard.
Under everyone’s watchful gaze.
The guard dismounted from the warhorse and quickly ran towards Samuel.
Watching the approaching guard, Samuel asked in a deep voice.
“Eli, what happened?”
Covered in blood, Eli swallowed and quickly said.
“Captain Samuel! Bad… bad news!”
“The Furious Giant Bear Mercenary Corps has breached Kakasong City and is advancing towards the Church!”
Samuel said in a deep voice: “Breached Kakasong City?”
“The walls are towering, the gates are shut tight, how did they breach it?”
Eli continued to explain: “Captain, the free nobles inside the city have gathered hundreds of guards and launched a direct attack on us from the rear.”
“Three squads of ten were directly killed by the free noble guards.”
“They even opened the city gates and let the Furious Giant Bear Mercenary Corps in!”
Samuel’s eyes narrowed.
Just as he had guessed!
If only the Furious Giant Bear Mercenary Corps attacked Kakasong City.
With the strength of Kakasong City’s walls and gates.
And with him leading the Church guards and believer soldiers.
The mercenary corps without siege weapons would struggle to breach Kakasong City.
To be precise, it’s impossible for them to breach Kakasong City!
But now.
The free nobles have allied with the Furious Giant Bear Mercenary Corps and outright opened the gates.
The mercenary corps of over a thousand members easily entered Kakasong City.
Thus.
The Church’s situation has become extremely dangerous!
Not just the Church.
The entire Kakasong City has become dangerous!
Samuel looked at the guards beside him and issued orders.
“Bring all the believer soldiers inside the church, seal and nail shut windows, guard key entrances.”
“The city gates have collapsed, we need to rely on the church for defense!”
Two guards replied solemnly and immediately responded.
“Yes, Captain!”
After answering, the two guards immediately retreated to start arranging the distribution of weapons to the believer soldiers.
Samuel shifted his gaze to another group of three guards and ordered.
“You three, immediately ride fast horses into the residential area, sound the alarm bell, and warn all residents.”
“Also inform all the residents and believers, an external invasion, the church and Kakasong City need their help!”
The three guards also replied promptly and withdrew quickly.
Samuel looked at the remaining guard standing beside him and continued.
“You, quickly climb up to the top of the church’s clock tower, and sound the alarm bell.”
“I need to gather all the Church believers!”
The guard quickly kneeled and responded, rushing towards the back door of the Church Castle nearby.
After giving all instructions, Samuel glanced at the distance.
He could faintly hear.
Continuous sounds of terror and screams mixed with the sound of chaotic footsteps…
Echoing from the South City Gate along the street to the church.
Samuel understood.
The Furious Giant Bear Mercenary Corps was advancing towards the church.
Withdrawing his gaze, Samuel strode into the church.
At the moment Samuel closed the main doors, two guards immediately shut the double doors!
…
On Church Street.
Riding on a tall steed, Ludovico Dons, donned in exquisite, finely-made leather armor.
Ludovico stared ahead, his face full of seriousness.
Members of the Furious Giant Bear Mercenary Corps, like beasts released from a cage.
Firmly gripped their weapons, kicking open the closed doors of house after house.
Upon seeing the women within, their expressions twisted with laughter.
Despite curses and scolding from men in the house.
The mercenary corps members paid no heed, stepping boldly.
After a flurry of heavy thudding and the sound of metal blades scraping against bone.
The once angry curses and scolding stopped abruptly, falling into silence.
But after mere seconds.
The sound of women crying and powerless resistance echoed in the buildings…
Ever since the South City Gate of Kakasong City was opened and the Furious Giant Bear Mercenary Corps members flooded in, reaching Church Street.
In a matter of minutes.
Bodies are strewn, flowing blood pooling, seeping through the cracks of the cobblestone…
Splashing blood from severed necks, splattering on the walls of buildings…
Sounds of crying… wailing… shouting… fighting…
Blended into one.
Originally a silent, orderly Church Street.
Has now turned into a living purgatory.
Looking at this scene, Ludovico turned his gaze to Megan beside him and spoke.
“Lady Megan! This is not what I, Sir, was told!”
“I spent a fortune hiring your brother’s mercenary corps, only to have them take down the Church and kill Simo.”
“Not to cause innocent slaughter of city residents like now!”
“With such burning, killing, and looting, even if they accomplish taking down the Church, how do we govern the city’s residents afterward?”
Faced with Ludovico’s questioning, Megan had a helpless expression, saying.
