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According to the original plan, Willis had quietly withdrawn the group of soldiers guarding the city.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.
法林顿一个念头刚刚在自己的脑海里面闪过,还没等他张开口意识着自己的部下赶快撤退的时候,就只听见哐嗵一声。
拿城门居然一样快的不可思议的速度迅速关闭,法林顿的退路已经没有了,他意识到自己已经被逼入了绝境,要么带领着自己的士兵杀回去,要么直接一鼓作气攻下这一座城市。
有着多年的作战经验的法林顿可以清晰的感觉到,如果自己让自己的士兵退回去的话,那么那些胆怯的人率先逃跑。
必定会引起军心乱了,到时候一哄而上这些士兵们都想着逃跑,在他们争相逃跑的时候都会死在斯瓦迪亚人的强弓劲弩之下。
与其让他们逃跑撤退,到不如将团结起来奋力一击。这也算是为国捐躯。
“所有的人都听着,现在我们的后路已经被截断了,我可以毫不顾忌的告诉你们,我们已经被斯瓦迪亚给截住了后路。
所有的人都没有后退的机会,与其我们被困在这里等死,倒不如直接跟着我一起攻下这一座城市,把那些埋伏偷袭我们的卑鄙家伙通通杀死。”
法林顿举起他自己的斧头大声说到,他的声音传遍战场的每一处,听到他的声音的诺德士兵们都士气大振。
诺德士兵们看见自己的军队的指挥官身先士卒,不顾自己的安危带领着身后的士兵们冲锋陷阵,因此也跟着他一起向前冲去。
那些站在城墙上面的,或者其他高处的地方的士兵们,诺德士兵暂时攻击不到,法林顿现在的目标只有一个地方,那就是直接杀到霍斯本斯的大营。
很明显,按照现在的速度,如果不发生任何的意外的话,法林顿的部队是永远也别想直接冲到霍斯本斯的大本营。
如果他们能够侥幸的冲到霍斯本斯的大本营面前,那么他们的部队也会所剩无几,根本就难以招架那不停的从城市内部涌出的斯瓦迪亚士兵。
虽然说他们仅仅只是残余的部队,这一点残兵败将很难对诺德王国造成实质性的打击。
但是,这一场战斗当中,法林顿很有可能在这里陨落。
沃尔斯看着自己眼前的同伴的尸体,在自己的心里暗暗庆幸到,自己的感知果真是正确的,如果说自己傻乎乎的和福特一起的话。
那么地上的尸体一定也会有自己的,毕竟在威利斯的身边有着数名精锐士兵,就算自己能够杀掉这些士兵,更有源源不断的斯瓦迪亚士兵朝这里涌过来。
在前方诺德士兵的头顶之上,那些拿着弓箭和弩箭的斯瓦迪亚士兵不断的将他们的弩矢利箭给射下来,刮起一阵箭雨。
尽管诺德士兵们全部都配备着一种强劲的盾牌,在经过了最初的慌乱之后,他们慢慢的集结成一面又一面盾墙。
抵挡着来自天空和左右四方的攻击,并且缓缓的移动的步子向着前方迈进,那些在城墙上面的敌兵他们是难以击中的,这一次突袭,他们根本就没有带弓箭手。
以至于他们的远程火力极其不足,如果说现在有一群斯瓦迪亚士兵冲路他们的阵中,他们那矫健的身手依然可以使得那些敌兵被砍成碎肉。
法林顿也龟缩在自己的盾牌阵当中,他通过盾牌的缝隙可以看见哪城墙上面不停的出现的士兵,他自己在心里对那个提供情报的间谍感到十分可恶。
这个家伙要么是自己搜刮出来的情报有错误,要么就一次已经投敌叛国了。
不过按照目前的情况来看,自己这一方明显掌握了优势,那么这一个间谍是绝对不会投敌叛国的,那么最后只有一个选择。
哪一个间谍是一个愚蠢的间谍,他带来的情报与建议,并且按照实施的计划是一个错误的计划,他自己被别人给摆了一道。
现在说什么也晚了,法林顿已经抱着必死的决心朝着前方冲去。
维利斯作为霍斯本斯手下的一名指挥官,他也是继霍斯本斯之后的最高的一名指挥官,而且在这个时刻,为了防止福特对它产生疑惑。
他带领的士兵大多都是和自己亲近的士兵,这些士兵都是自己的亲卫。
因此这些士兵都对维利斯的指令通通遵守,维利斯在这一个情况之下,指挥着自己的士兵开始对哪一群被包围的诺德士兵发动突袭。
不用说,维利斯在看见这一面盾牌阵的时候,他可以看见这一面盾牌阵在经过无数的箭支冲锋之后,已经开始逐渐出现了松懈的迹象。
那些诺德士兵终究还是害怕了起来,他们害怕敌方的人数,害怕自己会死无葬身之地。自己陷入到这样的一个埋伏当中。
没有退路,不,或者说是他们的指挥官已经将他们的退路给切断了。
法林顿居然要求他们的士兵继续奋勇向前,其实他们只要把城门给打开,那么这些士兵还是有着一线生机的。
因此他们其中的一些人想要不服从他们长官的命令,想要冲到城门之前将城门给打开。
威利斯早就料到了这一切,他不急不慢的将自己的士兵慢慢向前进,他是士兵向前进的时候。
哪些诺德士兵通过盾牌之间的缝隙可以清晰的看见敌兵正在向自己缓缓而来的样子,月光很亮,他们甚至可以看见远处的斯瓦迪亚士兵脸上那得意的表情。
他们越是得意诺德士兵自然也就越是害怕。
自己的长官在催促着自己不断的向前进以对抗斯瓦迪亚士兵,虽然说在和敌兵短兵相接的时候,那些弓箭手绝对会有所收敛的。
谁也不能够保证这些弓箭手会不会射中自己人,因此他们会将弓箭的主要攻击方向对准后面,也就是没有和自己人短兵相接的那一部分诺德士兵。
这样的话,也会造成后方的诺德士兵不顾长官的命令向后逃跑,维利斯在后方可以远远的看见最后面的那些诺德士兵动摇的最为明显。
法林顿仅仅只是将自己的眼睛盯着前面看,他根本就没有看向自己的后面,此时抱着必死的信念的他只有一个目标向前进向前进,直接冲进敌方的大本营将敌方的主将给擒拿归案。
沃尔斯站在维利斯的旁边,他自然也能够观察到这个战场之上的局势,隐隐约约,沃尔斯已经可以观察的到维利斯现在的想法。
维利斯他现在最想要的就是让这些训练有素的诺德士兵军心大乱斗号扰乱他们的士气,使得他们不战而逃。
尽管说自己的斯瓦迪亚士兵经过了一段时间训练之后,他们已经有了严明的纪律。但是和这些真正上过战场的老兵相比他们还是有着很明显的一段差距。
而而很明显,自己的这些斯瓦迪亚士兵所面对的对手自然是一支精锐之师。
他们都是上过战场的老兵,已经见过了死亡,不然的话在中了埋伏之后怎么能够还能保持住自己的队形,并能迅速的集结起一面盾牌阵。
维利斯知道该怎么去用自己的长处去打击别人的短处,对于他来说的话,虽然说他很年轻,没有多少实战经验,但是他还是知道这样的一个方法。
现在的维利斯就仅仅只是需要等待,等着敌方军心不稳的时候再让自己的士兵发动攻击。
维利斯的嘴角带着一丝胜利的微笑。
可是在下一秒的时候,他就感觉自己的脖子上一凉。
不用说,他也知道这是什么东西,这是一把匕首。当他把自己的头转向自己的身后,看见的是一张既熟悉有陌生的面孔,熟悉的是,这个人自己见过,陌生的事,他现在面孔上面的表情已经好像不是从前的那个人。
“你为什么要这么做,告诉我。”维利斯对着身后的沃尔斯说道,沃尔斯拿着匕首架在自己的脖子上面。
“你有这么聪明的脑袋,难道还想不出来这个问题的答案,我觉得其实在你的心里早已经猜到了我是谁。”
沃尔斯毫不拖泥带水的对维利斯说道,他的那把匕首更加逼近的维利斯的脖子上面,处在维利斯旁边的那些士兵们,看见这突如其来一幕,脸上纷纷露出惊愕的表情。
“你和福特他们是一伙的,啊,我早就应该想到了,我不应该就这样轻易的相信任何一个和福特所接近的人,我当初还以为你仅仅只是一个一不小心误入歧途的羔羊而已。
但是却没有想到你居然和福特是一样的,是一个间谍。”威利斯恍然大悟的说到。
对于维利斯的这一番话,沃尔斯报之一笑,他的聪明的脑袋已经猜到了全部事情的发生经过。
“你是怎么察觉到福特他是一个间谍的?我很好奇,我觉得福特的伪装天衣无缝。”
沃尔斯向维利斯问道,他在这个时刻还是想要知道维利斯他们到底是怎样知道这一个间谍的。
"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.
