With a soft sound, Trisna raised her sword to block the soldier's longsword.
“Your fear pleases me!” Trisna gave a look, signaling the soldiers beside her to step back.
The enemy commander stared at Trisna in disbelief, knowing full well that she could easily kill him because he was now utterly worthless!
“I’ve decided to let you live, as a warrior.” Trisna sheathed her longsword.
"This is a new salvation outside the royal family. I disregard your past mistakes. Until then, you must prove your will to be reborn with your blood and sweat!"
"Go and prove your loyalty to me!"
"If you can capture that city, you will become the first citizens!"
citizen!
Trisna's promise excited the prisoners.
Knowing they were already on death row, the royal family offered them a redemption plan that was almost impossible to achieve.
They dared not gamble on the royal family's kindness, and even had to suppress their brutality and restrain their ferocity in order to gain freedom, so as not to harm the trainees.
Now, they have lost and will face the judgment of the victors, but their opponents have given them a second chance to live...
Become a warrior, die with dignity, and exchange your bravery for the opportunity to become a citizen!
“This time, you don’t need to suppress yourselves anymore. Prove your courage to me.”
Trisna continued to promise, "If you die in battle, as long as we capture the city, you will still be entitled to enter the cemetery, and your tombstones will be covered with Saint Yarrow orchids."
Saint Yalorlan!!!
The prisoners had naturally heard the legends of the mainland, the legends of a white divine flower that came from the fertile lands of the west.
The third-generation saintess of the Sia family once held this flower in the city of Auvic to pay tribute to Tilan, and shed tears, declaring her worship of Tilan.
Therefore, the Saint Yarrow Orchid is also hailed as the highest praise for warriors.
“We are willing to fight for you, my lord!” The enemy commander announced his name: “I am Manlin, a death row inmate of the Saijing royal family.”
“Very good, Manlin!” Trisna waved her hand, signaling the soldiers to return the supplies to everyone.
These were not her personal thoughts, but Elsie's orders; if they refused to obey, they were all to be killed.
If they submit, promise them benefits and arrange for them to lead the vanguard; even if they feign obedience, it's fine...
Because Elsie would be watching everything here, she decided to give these people a chance, but if anyone didn't cherish it, she would ruthlessly transform them into inferior vampires and order them to create chaos.
Even if clergy were to investigate, they would not discover their own identities, and because of the Tiran family, they dared not thoroughly investigate their own army.
...
Inside the camp, David had already prepared his equipment, and he was about to launch a general assault on Watchtower No. 2 with Parker, Yinlang, and Trisna's forces.
Lynn's team will then be on the perimeter to prevent the enemy from escaping.
Connor and Dongshan Hong had already arrived at Watchtower No. 3 to await orders.
At this moment, the vanguard of death row inmates organized by Manlin had gathered outside the No. 2 watchtower.
Trisna wasn't worried about them betraying her, because according to the information, there were only twenty people stationed at Watchtower No. 2 and forty at Watchtower No. 3. Even if they did betray her, they would be wiped out by the united combat team.
Now, Manlin volunteered to persuade the commander of Watchtower No. 2. If the commander refused to submit, he would ambush and kill him, start an internal strife, and have his men tie strips of cloth around their fingers to identify themselves.
At that time, the main force can launch a general offensive!
"Everyone, let's get ready to move out!" David led the group toward Watchtower No. 2.
Manlin entered Watchtower No. 2 after receiving the signal. The guards nearby did not pay attention to Manlin's condition and simply let him pass as usual.
Soon, Manlin and his squad had entered the watchtower and were silent.
"Wait!" David instructed the men to hide in the woods near the watchtower.
He kept his eyes on the watchtower, monitoring the movement of personnel.
One of Manlin's men came down from the watchtower and stood aimlessly blocking the entrance. He kept an eye on the changes inside the tower while glancing at the hiding places of David and the others.
The atmosphere at the scene was eerily silent...
"Won't something go wrong?" Parker wondered.
No one responded. David tapped his fingers, counting the time.
Yin Lang then took out a piece of candy from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
Trisna took deep breaths until a shrill scream came from the watchtower!
"Manlin!!! What are you doing!! No!!!" Then a person was thrown out of a third-floor window. He struggled, but unfortunately, he was still killed by the fall.
"Kill!" The soldier under the watchtower drew his longsword and gave the signal.
David immediately stood up: "All combat squads, attack according to plan!"
"Third squad, follow me to clear out the surrounding armed forces!" Yin Lang led his men into action first.
"Fifth squad, assemble at the watchtower!" David raised his shield and charged.
"Trisna! Cover us!"
Trisna immediately pulled on the reins: "Fourth Squad! Charge with me!!!"
"Parker! Don't just stand there! Come with me!" Yin Lang pulled Parker to clean up the surroundings.
...
At this moment, the guards inside watchtower number 2 panicked.
"Enemy attack! Ring the bell!!!"
As is well known, the alarm bell is located on the top floor of the tower, but the only entrance is blocked by death row soldiers.
"Damn it! Get out of my way!" A guard stabbed the man through the body with his sword.
The group surged into the watchtower over the corpses of the enemy, but soon screams erupted as all the fires inside the watchtower went out, making it impossible to distinguish friend from foe in the dim light!
"Hmm! Who are you!"
"Help!"
"Don't point your sword at me!!"
"Give me some space! My sword is stuck in its scabbard!!"
...
Leaving aside the chaos inside the watchtower, the soldiers on the outside were already fleeing in all directions.
Even the warriors who were able to gather were terrified by Trisna's charge!
"I am the daughter of Earl Ellen of the Tilan family! All death row inmates, lay down your weapons or you will all die under the hooves of horses!" Trisna galloped through the streets of the checkpoint.
The tall, heavily laden horse is extremely imposing!
The idea that cavalry was superior to infantry had taken deep root in these people's minds, and when Trisna called them "the Tilan family" and "the daughter of Ellen," they were even more terrified and threw down their swords!
...
"Fifth squad, prepare to break down the door!" David had already led his squad to the door.
He glanced at the death row soldiers hacked to death by the swords at the door, somewhat puzzled.
These guys probably don't actually believe their promises, do they? At least they don't believe it themselves!
What does Trisna's promise have to do with Elsie? Elsie is the one who truly decides whether to accept them!
“Is it worth it? Ha…” David leaned his body into the watchtower.
"Squad, advance! Anyone without a cloth strip tied to their belt will be killed!"
The sounds of fighting echoed from inside the watchtower. Manlin's troops were stuck on the third floor, battling soldiers who were trying to rush up the stairs.
"The enemy is below! We're surrounded!!!" The enemy soldiers on the second floor were terrified.
"Lay down your weapons! Disarm and you will not be killed!" David's voice was full of power.
