"Close the city gate quickly!" Seeing the slaves rushing towards the city gate, the guard captain who guarded the city was also anxious. If the rioters were allowed to enter the city, would his official position be lost?

However, the guard captain was obviously thinking too much. After the slaves entered the city, he could not save his life. How could he care about whether he was not an official?

"Boom..."

"Squeak squeak..."

With a sensation of gears, the stuck city gate noose finally lived up to expectations and closed the city gate.

"Huh..." The guard captain here just breathed a sigh of relief, ready to report to his superiors, but a loud noise suddenly came from his ears!

"Boom!" Accompanied by the loud noise, the captain of the guard standing at the top of the city felt like an earthquake, and the entire city wall was shaking.

When I leaned over to the city, I saw dozens of strong slaves slamming into the city gate with a huge log. There were more than one group of slaves doing this job, and there were several groups of slaves holding logs behind him charging!

"Damn it! Show me an arrow! Shoot these dirty slaves to death!" The guard captain shouted loudly, because he knew that in recent decades, the generals responsible for guarding the imperial capital had embezzled military expenses, so the city gates had not been reinforced for decades. Although the surface was painted every year, it looked like new, but in fact the interior had long been decayed. Under such violent impact, the city gates could not last long!

"Swoosh swish swish swish..." The soldiers on the city wall immediately shot arrows, and the sharp arrows easily shot through the slaves without any protection. The bodies fell down. In an instant, the slaves' attacks stagnated, and people's fear of death was an instinct!

"Clash with me! Mara's wealth and beauty are waiting for us!" Girent knew that the time for his performance was coming. For his brothers, he would have to make a breakthrough even if it was a sea of ​​swords and fire!

"Run! For freedom!"

"I want to live a good life, hurry up!"

"Beauty! I'm here!"

"I want to become a rich slave owner, too!"

...

Although Gironte's incitement was very simple, it was very effective for the slaves. Freedom was what they longed for the most. At this time, there was nothing that could stop the slaves from attacking the imperial capital, even if death could not scare them away!

"ah!"

"ah……"

"Kill!"

During the slaves' charge, shouts of killing and screams came one after another. The slaves fell one after another in the rain of arrows, but more slaves rushed up. They stepped over their companions' bodies, then picked up the logs that fell to the ground, and then continued to charge!

The slaves were constantly shot down, but there were always new additions behind them, and soon a log arrived under the city gate!

"Boom boom boom..." The sound of logs hitting the city gate became even more intense. Two logs hit the city gate at the same time, which caused greater damage to the city gate, and the time for breaking the city was getting shorter and shorter!

"Cheer me! Shoot those slaves to death!" The guard captain was already red in his eyes. Although he had sent troops to ask for help, the city gate was really disrepaired and was already full of holes. Even if he asked people to use wooden sticks to support it, or even temporarily found wooden boards and nails to repair it, it was useless. The slaves outside the city were already crazy. Their attacks were stronger than the waves, and the dilapidated city gate could not last long!

"Sir! Our arrows are almost used up!" You said that it was raining all night long. The captain of the guard hated his boss at this time. This old guy was greedy for military expenses and had no control. The arrows and other guardians on the city walls were very reserved, and only some were piled on the surface to deal with inspections. The others had been sold for money.

"Damn it!" The captain of the guard cursed secretly, and then he shouted loudly: "Brothers, I don't care what method you use, I will definitely keep the city gate for me. Think about your family's wealth, your wife and daughter. Never let these hundreds of thousands of demons enter the city!"

Obviously, the captain of the guard was a sensible person. He knew that these slaves had been oppressed for too long. They looked like harmless sheep on weekdays, and even anyone could bully them.

But because of this, once the slaves who had been suppressed for too long were liberated, they would become ferocious beasts that were more brutal than demons. Once they were let into the city, the entire Mara would suffer a catastrophe!

"Yes! Sir!" The soldiers agreed, and then tried their best to protect the city gate. After using up the arrows on the city, the soldiers carried stones from the city and then smashed the slaves under the city with stones.

After the stones were used up, the soldiers had to forcibly demolish the houses near the city gate. Although the people were scolding, the soldiers knew that if they did not make every effort to block the slaves, the people would suffer even greater losses!

"Big... Sir, no, General, run away..." A soldier came over panting, but he brought a message that made the guard captain almost angry.

It turned out that when the slaves attacked the city, the general guarding the imperial capital received the news that the fat-headed old guy drank too much military blood. He knew very well how empty the guards of the imperial capital were under his crazy exploitation!

In order to earn an empty salary, the general dismissed four-fifths of the army without authorization. The entire imperial capital was known as a 100,000 defender, but in fact there were only less than 30,000. Not to mention various equipment and arms, they were all good. It was okay to deal with the emperor's inspection, but in a real battle, it might not be as good as the big wooden stick.

It was precisely because he knew what he had done that the general concluded early in the morning that Mala would inevitably fall. So before the guard captain sent someone to inform him, he took some gold, silver and fine materials, and then secretly left the city with his thirty-seven concubines, and the whole family fled to the north.

In fact, like this general, there are many nobles who fled from the secret passage with their family. Corrupt officials are often more wiser than honest officials, but they just don’t use their wisdom in the right place.

There is a saying that cunning rabbits have three holes, and these corrupt officials and nobles are no exception. They have dug up secret passages long ago. Although their original purpose was to escape with their families when the emperor wanted to handle them, this secret passage also saved their lives when Mara City was in crisis.

"Damn it! These damn borers!" The guard captain beat and scolded, and then asked the soldiers to go directly to the palace for help, but in a short period of time, he obviously had no reinforcements.

"Brothers, now we have to rely on us in Mara City! We will fight to the death today, not for those hateful nobles, nor for the foolish emperor, but for our parents, wives and children not being harmed by demons. Today we will fight to the end!" The guard captain saw that the city gate was about to be broken, so he made the final mobilization!

"For parents, wife and children!"

"Bloody battle to the end!"

The soldiers roared and then lined up in front of the city gate, because the city gate was about to collapse, after that, they would be the second city gate made of flesh and blood!
Chapter completed!
