Chapter 841 Murderer?
"What's going on?"
"That's the Golden Shield family's camp. Could it be that the natives came out of the city to launch a surprise attack?"
In the Sky City coalition camp, a group of city lords walked out of their tents and gathered on the camp's observation tower, looking towards the west.
Looking at the flames rising into the sky and the endless shouting and killing, everyone was a little confused.
Gervis was also among the crowd at this time, looking at the west with confusion.
It stands to reason that the natives rely on the huge city and don't need to take risks to leave the city, especially when there are enemies like them.
But if the ones who attacked the Golden Shield Family coalition were not the natives, who else could it be?
You know, Gervis and his men's camp is very close to Batman's, so the scouts of both sides are constantly patrolling the area within a radius of 20 miles.
If there really were any unidentified enemies coming, then Gervis and his scouts should be able to detect them.
"Who cares! It would be the best if the natives leave the city! I hope they can catch Batman and the others in one fell swoop, that would be a great help to us!"
"Duke Johnson is right. Haha, it's best to wipe out Batman and the others at once! Then we can slowly conquer this holy city!"
However, although everyone was confused, they were happy to see the Golden Shield Family coalition in trouble, and they all began to watch and laugh.
…
There were laughter and joy in the Sky City, but the Golden Shield Family coalition camp was in chaos.
The soldiers had already fallen asleep after the intense fighting during the day. The sudden attack and the flames in the sky made these awakened soldiers immediately fall into panic.
Many people rushed out of the camp in a hurry without even having time to pick up their armor or weapons.
But as soon as the soldiers rushed out of the tent, they were met with fully armed attackers.
These attackers said nothing. As soon as they met the soldiers, they swung their swords with cold light and slashed at them. In an instant, they chopped down these soldiers who were only wearing linen underwear like cutting melons and vegetables.
These attackers quickly set fire to the tents and supplies in the camp while killing people indiscriminately, killing anyone they saw.
As time went on, casualties in the Golden Shield Family coalition camp increased.
The chaos gradually spread from the original periphery to the core area.
Many Holy City families wanted to organize a team to fight back, but it was night, and many panicked soldiers kept running away and fleeing to the core of the camp, making it impossible for the Holy City lords and captains to organize themselves for a while.
"Don't panic, everyone listen to my orders and follow my Golden Shield family's soldiers to fight back together!"
But at this moment, Batman suddenly appeared, and more than a thousand fully armed elite soldiers gathered around him.
When the soldiers who were running away in panic saw this scene, their fear gradually eased, and they actually followed the Golden Shield Family's team and advanced towards the outskirts of the camp.
"kill!"
A few minutes later, the elite members of the Golden Shield Family met the attackers. The two sides rushed into each other in an instant, and shouts of killing were heard again.
The two sides fought for about two or three minutes, and the attackers did not gain much advantage. Seeing this, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd.
"Retreat! Everyone return to camp!"
"retreat!"
When the order to retreat was given, the attackers did not linger in the fight but rushed out of the camp gate like a tide and headed southeast.
"Don't chase them, put out the fire first and rescue the supplies!"
Batman personally led his elite men to pursue the attacker to the camp gate. Seeing the attacker disappear into the night in the southeast direction, he immediately stopped his men's actions.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!"
When the subordinates heard Batman's order, they immediately stopped the pursuit.
The other Holy City soldiers who had been following them originally wanted to beat the fallen dog to vent their hatred, but when they saw this situation, they could only stop their pursuit in disappointment.
Afterwards, the Golden Shield Family coalition quickly began to clear the camp.
It took more than half an hour to put out the fire in the camp, and all the lords of the holy city gathered in the meeting tent.
"What on earth is going on? Why would unidentified people attack our camp in the middle of the night? The most abominable thing is that the soldiers on duty were killed silently by the enemy!"
"Yes, I saw clearly that those attackers were not natives! Assholes, I lost more than 500 men!"
"I also lost more than 300 people!"
"I lost more than 400 people..."
At this time, a group of holy city lords were sitting around a long table, each with a gloomy look on their faces and some gritting their teeth.
"The soldiers on duty were jointly appointed by everyone. We still need to conduct a detailed investigation into where the problem occurred!"
"However, I'm afraid we already have some clues about tonight's attackers! We just can't tell whether they're true or not!"
Just after the lords of the holy city recounted their own losses bitterly, Batman, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"Oh? Duke Baartman, who is the attacker!"
The lords of the holy city immediately looked at Batman.
"Let me show you something first!"
Batman said something to the city lords, then raised his hand and waved to a guard at the door.
When the guard saw this, he immediately nodded and walked out of the tent.
A moment later, the tent curtain opened again, and more than a dozen soldiers from the Golden Shield Family came in from outside.
The soldiers were divided into groups of two, with each pair carrying a corpse.
Then they placed the bodies in a row in the meeting tent.
When the lords of the holy city saw this situation, they already had some guesses in their minds, so they immediately looked at the armor of these corpses.
"It's the emblem of the Castle in the Sky!"
In an instant, the lords of the holy cities saw the badges on the chests of the attackers.
"Assholes! How dare they do this? The natives haven't left yet, and they dare to attack us!"
In fact, there is no need to think too much. There are only three forces within a radius of dozens of miles.
The people who attacked them, apart from the natives, could only be the Sky City coalition forces who belonged to the Holy Alliance.
However, although there were some speculations, the city lords did not dare to make a real conclusion without evidence.
But now, after seeing the badges on the armor of these attackers, he immediately identified the murderer.
Not only are the armors of these attackers unique to the Sky City, the emblems engraved on them are truly unmistakeable.
"Everyone, please listen to me first!"
When the Holy Cityists were angrily cursing the Sky City, Batman spoke again.
After attracting everyone's attention again, Batman continued.
"Although my Golden Shield family also lost more than 200 people this time, I wish I could find the murderer and chop him into pieces right now."
"But everyone, have you ever thought that although this type of armor and emblem belongs to the Castle in the Sky, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone with ulterior motives deliberately framed us! I think we should conduct a serious investigation before drawing any conclusions!"
Batman slowly explained to everyone.
"Duke Batman! Although my Jer family usually follows the lead of the Golden Shield family, I disagree with you this time!"
"This is the heart of the God's Falling Land, and right now there are only us and the Sky City coalition forces around! How could someone else deliberately put the blame on Sky City!"
"It's impossible that we did this ourselves, right? So I think this must have been done by the Sky City coalition forces!"
"Yes! Duke Jer is right. Edward and the others must be worried that we will capture the City of God, so they deliberately sent people to launch a surprise attack and create trouble for us!"
"Yes, apart from the people from the Sky City, there are no other humans nearby. Just as Duke Jer said, it can't be done by our own people!"
It was the first time that the lords of the holy city refuted Batman's words in front of him.
After all, this sneak attack caused a lot of losses to a number of families. Not only did they suffer heavy losses of soldiers, but they also lost a lot of supplies. They were so angry at this moment!
"Alas! What you said makes sense, but now we are facing a powerful enemy..."
Batman seemed to be half convinced by everyone and showed a helpless expression.
"Your Excellency the Duke! The natives definitely don't dare to leave the city right now! Moreover, the sneak attack by the Sky City coalition has caused huge losses to each of our families!"
"I'm worried that they will continue to do this next time, so... we might as well strike first!"
The Duke of Jer had a bad temper and spoke again to Batman to make a suggestion.
"Yes, we must avenge the more than 4,000 casualties and countless supplies! Moreover, so many supplies were burned today, I'm afraid the remaining supplies are not enough to support us in conquering the indigenous city of God!"
"Yes, who knows if they will continue to sneak attack us next! We are lucky this time because Duke Batman just happened to organize a team to fight back, otherwise the loss would be even greater! Those sneak attackers are definitely elite!"
The lords of the holy cities echoed one by one.
"In that case... OK, then we will drive away the Sky City team first, and then continue to attack the city!"
Batman was finally persuaded by the city lords and immediately made a decision in accordance with their wishes.
But everyone didn't know that at this moment, a gleam of light flashed in Batman's eyes.
