At this moment, Ford did not have any suspicion of Willis at all. For Ford, Willis in front of him was his best partner.
Perhaps when his companions from the Nord Kingdom rushed into the city, he could consider sparing Willis's life. If it weren't for him, there was no way he could have completed the mission so quickly.
I believe that King Ragnar will reward me handsomely after conquering this city.
"Don't worry, the people I brought with me are people I trust. They are all loyal to me and have no second thoughts. My plan will never be leaked out. Time is almost up.
We won't waste any more time talking nonsense. Let's open the city gates now and let those foreign Nord Kingdom soldiers pour into the city. Then our plan will succeed." Ford urged Willis to open the city gates.
According to the original plan, Willis had quietly withdrawn the group of soldiers guarding the city.
Therefore, the very few soldiers seen on the city wall were all Willis's soldiers. Willis could command these soldiers at will, and they were all Willis's direct soldiers.
"Okay, I will immediately let my subordinates open the city gates and welcome the Kingdom of Nord." Willis said to Ford, his expression seemed very excited.
In Ford's opinion, this might be the excitement shown after the plan was about to succeed, so Ford did not feel any surprise or confusion about Willis's expression change.
Walls cursed Ford in his heart, what a fool he was. Why was he so excited? Was it just because the plan was about to succeed?
Did he really surrender with a clear conscience? After all, he was from the Kingdom of Swadia, and he was about to surrender to the enemy at the last moment, and he showed an excited expression.
Such a person will surely be reviled in the future, and Paovlis would never do such a thing. He will never betray the Kingdom of Swadia.
Everything now shows that Willis does not really want to cooperate with Ford. What he wants is to completely eliminate the rebels and evildoers in the city.
All the Nordic spies and those fools who come from outside must die.
Willis waved to the soldiers on the city wall. Those soldiers were Willis's direct subordinates and they all obeyed Willis's orders, so they opened the city gate quickly.
At this moment, they could clearly see the Nord soldiers slowly passing by in the distance. Under the cover of night, these Nord soldiers began to advance towards a city gate of Zhongsunuo.
The leader of the troop was none other than Farrington, the captain of the guard under King Ragnar.
According to the original plan, Hosbens would wait for the leader of this group of Nord soldiers to enter the city, and then suddenly close the city gate to cut off reinforcements from outside.
At the same time, thousands of arrows were aimed at the leader of this army. Farrington was very unlucky to be the leader of this army that night, because he was likely to die in this ambush.
Willis took a slow, light step forward.
It did not attract Ford's attention, and it seemed irrelevant to Ford's men. The city gates had been opened, and no matter what happened, it could not stop the Nord Kingdom's army from pouring into the city.
"Soon, a group of Nordic soldiers will appear in this city. What do you think they will do next?"
Willis asked Ford bluntly, and his tone seemed a little strange and harsh at this time, completely unlike the previous Willis.
But Ford, immersed in joy, didn't care about such changes at all, even though he was a well-trained spy and saw the victory was within his grasp.
He had already forgotten everything around him, so he said nonchalantly:
"Don't worry, they will follow my previous agreement and will never attack the ordinary residents of the Kingdom of Swadia in this city. They will only massacre the soldiers who resist, and all those who surrender will survive."
After hearing these words, Willis laughed secretly in his heart. Things would definitely not develop as Ford said.
Farrington said that the team he led had quietly approached the wall of Daocheng. Everyone adjusted their breathing to the minimum and they dared not make the slightest sound.
For the other people who have been frozen in the city, this is the most critical moment. Now all Farrington needs to do is lead his team into the leftmost city.
Then Ford's plan was half completed, and the remaining half was to wait for Farrington to capture the entire city of Suno.
Walsh gradually approached Willis, and Willis' eyes were looking outside the city gate. At the same time, he was always paying attention to Ford in front of him.
He had to seize the opportunity to catch Ford at the last moment and execute him on the spot. Such a spy must be killed and must not be allowed to escape.
Willis had no idea that there was someone watching her. Walls was staring at her all the time, even though he pretended nothing happened.
Willis didn't notice anything unusual at all, which allowed Walsh to take out his weapon and kidnap Willis the next moment.
The team led by Farrington has poured into the city, and Farrington is standing in the middle of the team, surrounded by many Nord royal guards.
This time, with the spies in the city opening the city gates for him, the night attack will surely be much simpler and easier.
The order Farrington received was to unite with the rebels in Suno City to eliminate the remaining resistance forces in Suno City.
Ford could see the shadows of the Nord Kingdom's soldiers from afar. Looking at the familiar shadows, Ford was very excited.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt something hard pressing against his neck. It was very thin, hard, and cold, carrying the chill of the night. This was...
The image of a dagger suddenly appeared in Ford's mind. He turned his eyes and saw that the person holding the dagger was actually his most trusted partner, Willis.
Needless to say, at this moment, Ford had completely understood what kind of scheme he had fallen into. It was all a deception by Willis, and he was too stupid to be deceived by Willis.
I should have thought carefully about it after hearing Walls's idea. I was blinded by my own success.
Ford didn't say anything. He already knew his fate. There was no need to say anything more. The righteous soldiers of the Nord Kingdom would be quickly slaughtered after his death.
With a click, a bloody mark appeared on Ford's neck.
The sharp dagger directly cut through his skin and severed his artery. Blood gushed out like a fountain, drawing a graceful arc in the sad and beautiful night sky, like a piece of music welcoming death.
After Ford fell, Willis's men picked up their weapons and rushed towards Ford's companions, most of whom were spies like Ford.
A small number of them were Ford's confidants after being bewitched, so these people did not deserve Swadia's mercy at all, and they were quickly chopped to pieces by your men, Willis.
Willis noticed that Walsh, who was following behind him, had no intention of taking action, and he did not force Walsh to carry out the order. Willis did not tell anyone about this battle plan.
This group of his soldiers were his trusted confidants. After seeing that he had killed the enemy's leader, they all took up their weapons and killed all of his subordinates.
This is the alertness of a guard. He does not need any orders from his superiors to clearly understand the master's intentions.
Since they were going to kill the leader of the other side, then his subordinates would naturally have no need to exist. The subordinates would naturally need to be dealt with by this group of people themselves.
"Everyone, wait here. We will have a good show. Those Nords who dare to invade us will be torn to pieces by us."
Willis gave orders to his soldiers. He did not let his soldiers continue to move forward, but asked them to stay where they were.
Farrington led his men forward. He felt that many figures suddenly appeared on the city wall. They held strong bows and crossbows in their hands and seemed to be aiming at something.
The further he went inside, the more he felt that things were not going well. Could it be that the spy he had placed in the city had surrendered to the enemy? Did he sell himself out?
When Farrington was in doubt, he heard a whooshing sound. The sound was continuous and endless, and suddenly a rain of arrows fell from the sky.
Oh no, those Swadians actually set an ambush here.
A thought just flashed through Farrington's mind. Before he could open his mouth to tell his men to retreat quickly, he heard a clang.
The city gate was closed at an incredible speed. Farrington had no way to retreat. He realized that he was forced into a desperate situation. He could either lead his soldiers to fight back or capture the city in one go.
Farrington, who had many years of combat experience, could clearly feel that if he ordered his soldiers to retreat, those cowardly ones would be the first to flee.
It will definitely cause chaos in the army, and then all the soldiers will rush forward and try to escape. While they are rushing to escape, they will all die under the powerful bows and crossbows of the Swadians.
Instead of letting them run away and retreat, it is better to unite and fight hard. This can also be regarded as sacrificing one's life for the country.
"Everyone listen, our retreat has been cut off. I can tell you without hesitation that our retreat has been cut off by Swadia.
There is no chance for anyone to retreat. Rather than being trapped here and waiting to die, it is better for us to follow me and capture this city and kill all those despicable guys who ambushed us."
Farrington raised his own axe and spoke loudly, his voice echoing throughout the battlefield, and the morale of the Nord soldiers who heard his voice was greatly boosted.
The Nord soldiers saw that their commander was leading the charge, regardless of his own safety, and so they followed him and rushed forward.
The Nord soldiers cannot attack those soldiers standing on the city walls or other high places for the time being. Farrington now has only one goal, which is to kill directly into Hosbens' camp.
It is obvious that at the current speed, if nothing unexpected happens, Farrington's troops will never be able to reach Hospens' base camp directly.
If they were lucky enough to reach Hospens' base camp, their troops would be reduced to very few and would be unable to withstand the Swadian soldiers that kept pouring out of the city.
Although they are only the remnants of a force, it is difficult for these defeated soldiers to cause any substantial damage to the Nordic Kingdom.
However, in this battle, Farrington is likely to die here.
Walls looked at the corpse of his companion in front of him, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that his perception was indeed correct. If he had been stupid enough to be with Ford.
Then there must be his own corpses on the ground. After all, there are several elite soldiers around Willis. Even if he can kill these soldiers, there will be an endless stream of Swadian soldiers pouring in here.
Above the heads of the Nord soldiers in front, the Swadian soldiers holding bows and crossbows kept shooting down their crossbow arrows, creating a rain of arrows.
Although all the Nord soldiers were equipped with powerful shields, after the initial panic, they slowly gathered into shield walls.
They resisted the attacks from the sky and all directions, and moved slowly forward. It was difficult for them to hit the enemy soldiers on the city wall. They did not bring any archers with them for this raid.
As a result, their long-range firepower is extremely insufficient. If a group of Swadian soldiers rushed into their formation, their agility would still be enough to chop the enemy soldiers into pieces.
Farrington also hid in his own shield formation. Through the gaps in his shield, he could see the soldiers constantly appearing on the city wall. In his heart, he felt very disgusted with the spy who provided the information.
Either the intelligence this guy collected was wrong, or he had already defected to the enemy and committed treason.
However, according to the current situation, our side clearly has the advantage, so this spy will definitely not surrender to the enemy and commit treason, so there is only one choice in the end.
Which spy is a stupid spy? The intelligence and advice he brought, and the plan he implemented was a wrong plan, and he himself was tricked by others.
It was too late to say anything now, as Farrington had already rushed forward with the determination to die.
As a commander under Hospens, Willis was also the highest-ranking commander after Hospens, and at this moment, in order to prevent Ford from having any doubts about it.
Most of the soldiers he led were close to him, and these soldiers were his personal guards.
Therefore, all these soldiers obeyed Willis's orders. Under this situation, Willis commanded his soldiers to launch a surprise attack on the group of surrounded Nord soldiers.
Needless to say, when Willis saw this shield formation, he could see that after being hit by countless arrows, this shield formation had gradually begun to show signs of slackening.
The Nord soldiers were finally afraid. They were afraid of the enemy's numbers and that they would die without a burial place. They had fallen into such an ambush.
There is no way of retreat, no, or rather, their commander has cut off their retreat.
Farrington actually asked their soldiers to continue to fight forward bravely. In fact, as long as they opened the city gate, these soldiers still had a chance of survival.
Therefore, some of them wanted to disobey the orders of their superiors and rushed to the city gate to open it.
Willis had expected all this, and he led his soldiers forward slowly and calmly. It was when he was the one leading his soldiers forward.
Through the gaps between their shields, the Nord soldiers could clearly see the enemy soldiers slowly approaching them. The moonlight was bright enough that they could even see the smug expressions on the faces of the Swadian soldiers in the distance.
The more proud they were, the more afraid the Nord soldiers would be.
His superiors were urging him to keep moving forward to fight against the Swadian soldiers, although the archers would definitely restrain themselves when engaging in close combat with the enemy.
No one can guarantee that these archers will not hit their own people, so they will aim their main arrows at the back, that is, at the part of the Nord soldiers who are not in close combat with their own people.
This would also cause the Nord soldiers in the rear to flee regardless of their superiors' orders. Willis could see from afar that the Nord soldiers at the back were the most obviously shaken.
Farrington just stared ahead with his eyes, he didn't even look behind him. With the belief that he would die, he had only one goal, to move forward, rush directly into the enemy's base camp and capture the enemy's main general.
Wales stood next to Willis, so he could naturally observe the situation on the battlefield. Indistinctly, Wales could already observe Willis's current thoughts.
What Willis wants most now is to disrupt the morale of these well-trained Nord soldiers and make them flee without a fight.
Although his Swadian soldiers had developed strict discipline after a period of training, they were still significantly inferior to the veterans who had actually fought on the battlefield.
It was obvious that the opponent these Swadian soldiers were facing was naturally an elite army.
They were all veterans who had fought in the battlefield and had seen death. Otherwise, how could they maintain their formation and quickly assemble a shield formation after being ambushed?
Willis knows how to use his strengths to attack other people's weaknesses. Although he is very young and does not have much practical experience, he still knows this method.
Now Willis just needs to wait, and wait until the enemy's morale becomes unstable before letting his soldiers launch an attack.
There was a hint of triumph in Willis's smile.
But in the next second, he felt a chill on his neck.
Needless to say, he also knew what it was, it was a dagger. When he turned his head behind him, he saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar. The familiar thing was that he had seen this person before, but the unfamiliar thing was that the expression on his face was no longer the same as before.
"Tell me why you are doing this." Willis said to Wales behind him, who was holding a dagger against his neck.
"You have such a smart brain, can't you figure out the answer to this question? I think you have already guessed who I am in your heart."
Walsh spoke to Willis without hesitation, and his dagger was getting closer to Willis's neck. The soldiers next to Willis saw this sudden scene and showed expressions of astonishment on their faces.
"You are in the same group with Ford. Ah, I should have thought of it earlier. I shouldn't have trusted anyone who was close to Ford so easily. I thought you were just a lamb who accidentally went astray.
But I didn't expect that you are the same as Ford, a spy." Willis said with sudden realization.
In response to Willis's words, Walls smiled. His clever mind had already guessed what had happened.
"How did you realize that Ford was a spy? I'm curious. I think Ford's disguise was perfect."
Walsh asked Willis, at this moment he still wanted to know how Willis and the others knew about this spy.
"In fact, I relied largely on my guesses. My intuition told me that this person was a spy. When he approached me and told me about his plan, I knew that he was really a spy."
Walls was not very satisfied with Willis's answer. It was hard to believe that he could guess that someone was a spy based on just an intuition.
However, the situation is urgent now, and Walls is unwilling to serve as an advisor. The current goal is of course to rescue Farrington who is already surrounded, or to directly hold Willis hostage and force him to be released.
And break the city. All the credit will go to Walsh. Ford, who should have received the credit, is now dead.
