The refugees reacted very quickly, although the soldiers were very sharp, but there were too many refugees! There were thousands of them, and the old and weak were actually very few. Most of those who could escape in this world were men, even women were very strong. They were seen holding various weapons, all coming out. Due to the darkness and lack of torches, when the long gunners came in at first, they could still tell who was their own, but now it was too dark, and with so many people, they couldn't distinguish whether they were comrades or not.

  Everyone chose to wait and see with caution, and only when they were very close could they tell whether it was a companion or not, and then a battle would ensue.

  Actually, night battles are very rare, which is why Phil only wants to get the castle. With the moonlight, you can still see a little bit, but now the clouds in the sky have blocked out the moon and it's completely dark tonight!

  The situation took a dramatic turn, everyone was looking for their own companions, they said a word to each other and judged by the accent whether it was their own people, soon the long gunners gathered together and killed outward.

  The refugees, however, were like scattered sand and although they could not be organized, it did not affect their escape. The scattered refugees fleeing in all directions did not form a strong obstacle, and many refugees were stabbed to death as the long gunners advanced.

  The dying wails of those people alerted the people in the castle, Zig was the first to notice, heard a different movement, immediately got up from bed, then quickly took out a torch from beside the fireplace, lit it in the fireplace, and rushed out with the torch. On the city wall, there would be a bonfire at intervals, used for warmth and lighting for the night watchmen.

  As Zigden climbed up the watchtower, he saw a vague figure in the distance quickly approaching the city gate.

  Zig immediately took his own flower sword and rushed to the city gate. At this time, he had to be vigilant, otherwise the castle would change hands. John and others also got up. Recently, the engineering team's people all lived in the castle, so they didn't have to rush back and forth between the residential area and the castle, which was very time-consuming. This decision also gave them the power to resist.

  "What's going on?" John was still half asleep.

  "Hurry up and light the torches for defense, there's an enemy raid, people have already died on the refugee side." Zig said as he immediately ran towards the city gate.

  John was immediately awakened and shouted to the workers: "Didn't you understand? The enemy is attacking, hurry up and put on your clothes, take your tools and go to the city wall and gate to defend the castle! Otherwise, everyone will die."

  The workers also hastily went to fetch their own hammers and iron shovels, as well as some pickaxes.

  Just as Zige arrived at the city gate, he saw a man carrying an iron hammer. He recognized this person, who was a refugee, but worked very hard. Zige planned to recruit him into the castle as a craftsman after the castle was repaired.

  "Karl, what brings you here so late?" Ziggy had to be cautious now; anyone seemed suspicious to him.

  "Open the door quickly! There are people chasing me from behind, many people are attacking refugees, I'm running from somewhere, and it's estimated that you'll be next." Karl said breathlessly.

  "Is only one person chasing you? Wait a minute, I'll go open the door." Zig didn't doubt it because he saw the man who was chasing Karl, a knight, a knight without a horse? How strange.

  The city gate was opened, anyway, only one person could not turn over the big wave. Karl went in, but Zig did not go in and guarded the city gate instead.

  Fei Er De didn't think that someone would be so bold, coming here and daring to guard the city gate. Since it's like this, then let him experience it for himself.

  Silent and motionless, Field suddenly leaped up, jumping slash, in the sky raised his sword to chop down, the knight's long sword heavy weight and length advantage was brought into full play.

  This jump was actually four or five meters wide, causing Zige's face to change color! It turned out to be a formal knight, with physical strength suddenly surging and internal energy already producing fighting spirit. This wasn't something his abilities could match, so he quickly dodged out of the way.

  Zig dodged Field's sword with a roll on the ground: "Thought you were quite something! Dare to single-handedly guard the city gate, didn't expect it was just for show! Haha! Hurry up and surrender, otherwise, no mercy will be shown."

  Looking at Zig, who was dodging and retreating in disarray, Field felt disappointed. He had thought he would encounter a decent opponent. Zig's face looked particularly unsightly, his flower-patterned sword held upright against his chest as he gazed coldly at Field and said, "Less chatter, let's fight."

  Upon seeing Zieg's flower sword, Field snorted and said: "I thought you were someone else, but it turns out you're just a pretty boy who practices noble sword techniques. Spare me the theatrics! I'll show you that only a knight's sword technique is the strongest on this continent."

  Feld said, finishing with a sweeping slash, Zieg surprisingly had nowhere to dodge, silently cursing "Indeed, a barbaric knight, using such crude and unrefined swordsmanship to overpower people."

  The speed and power of the knight's longsword were not something that the flower sword in his hand could withstand, unless there was a shield warrior, otherwise almost no one could resist the knight's brute force. Ziggy had to lightly jump onto Field's head, then stabbed down with the flower sword.

  Feldt sneered "foolish" as he swept his long sword upwards, creating a semicircular arc in the sky. The long sword slashed towards Zieg, who was still suspended in mid-air with nowhere to borrow strength from. Just as it was about to strike him down, Hua Jian's flower-patterned sword blocked its path.

  Zig was knocked flying, the flower sword was of good quality and did not break, but Zig's hand was clearly unable to exert force, his chest bone had fractured, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his throat.

  "Trash, die!" Phil felt a sudden sense of danger and instinctively raised his long sword to block the attack. With a loud clang, the force of the impact sent Phil stumbling backward several steps.

  Feld's eyes widened in astonishment as he flipped his long sword over, only to find a bright yellow object embedded on it. His sword had undergone alchemy modification, boasting sharpness and solidity as its two greatest features. The flower sword had already left him stunned, but now another weapon was proving to be just as extraordinary.

  Feldt urgently wanted to get it, and when he looked in the direction of the attack, it was a child holding a strange object, but he could feel the taste of death inside.

  "Hurry up and bring Zieg back, close the city gate." A few workers rushed out to carry Zieg away, Phil tried to chase after them, but that little kid's weapon was pointed at him, forcing him to defend himself. Even with a sturdy magic-enhanced longsword, he was being pushed back, his own armor didn't have any special properties, or else he'd be dead already?

  Thus Zieg was rescued, John also closed the city gate and had all the logs and stones moved onto the city wall. The city gate was also blocked with several large logs, making it safe.

  Feld wanted to jump over the 7-8 meter high city wall! But under the threat of oak, he had to give up and walk away reluctantly. When he led his troops here later, there would be an opportunity.
