“Quickly close the city gate!”Seeing the slaves rushing towards the city gate, the captain of the guards became anxious. If he let the slaves enter the city, wouldn’t he lose his official position?

However, the captain of the guards obviously thought too much. After the slaves entered the city, he couldn’t even save his life. How could he care about his official position?

“Rumble…”

“Creak Creak Creak…”

Along with the sound of grinding gears, the stuck city gate noose finally lived up to everyone’s expectations and closed the city gate.

“Phew…”the captain of the guards had just let out a sigh of relief and was about to get someone to report to his superior when he suddenly heard a loud sound!

“Boom!”Along with the loud sound, the captain of the guards standing on the city wall felt as if there was an earthquake, and the entire city wall was shaking.

He leaned over to take a look below the city wall and saw dozens of strong slaves carrying a huge log ramming against the city gate. Moreover, there were more than one group of slaves doing this job, and there were several groups of slaves carrying logs charging behind them!

“Damn it! Release the Arrows! Shoot these dirty slaves to death!”The captain of the guards shouted loudly, because he knew that in the past few decades, the general responsible for guarding the imperial capital had been embezzling military funds, so the city gate had not been strengthened for several decades. Although the surface was painted every year, it looked as if it was new.., in fact, the interior had long rotted. Under such a violent collision, the city gates could not last long!

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…”the soldiers on the city wall immediately released arrows. The sharp arrows easily pierced through the unprotected slaves. One by one, the corpses fell down. In an instant, the slaves’attacks came to a halt, the fear of death was an instinctive feeling!

“Follow me! Mala’s wealth and beauties are waiting for us!”Gilent knew that it was time for him to show off. For the sake of his brothers, not to mention the rain of arrows in front of him, even if it was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, he would still charge forward!

“Charge! For Freedom!”

“I want to live a good life, Charge!”

“Beauties! I’m Coming!”

“I want to become a rich slave owner too!”

..

Even though Gilent’s words were very simple, they were very effective for the slaves. Freedom was what they yearned for the most. Having beautiful women and wealth at home.., at this moment, there was nothing that could stop the slaves from invading the Imperial City of Marra. Even death would not be able to scare them off!

“Ah!”

“AH…”

“Kill!”

As the slaves charged forward, screams and screams rose one after another. The slaves fell one wave after another under the rain of arrows. However, more slaves charged forward. They stepped over the corpses of their companions, then, they picked up the logs that had fallen to the ground and continued to charge forward!

The slaves were continuously shot down. However, there were always new ones coming up from behind. Soon, one of the logs reached the city gate!

“Boom, Boom, boom…”the sound of the log hitting the city gate became even more intense. The two logs hitting the city gate at the same time caused more damage to the city gate, and the time it took to break through the city gate became shorter and shorter!

“Shoot! Shoot those slaves to death!”The captain of the guards was so anxious that his eyes were red, although he had already sent troops to ask for help, the city gate had been in disrepair for a long time. At this time, it was already riddled with holes. Even if he had people constantly use wooden sticks to support it, or even temporarily find wooden planks and nails to repair it.., however, this was completely useless. The slaves outside the city had already gone crazy. Their attacks were getting stronger and stronger. This dilapidated city gate could not last for long!

“Sir! We are running out of arrows!”There was a saying that went, “When the house leaks, the night rains.” At this moment, the captain of the guards hated his immediate superior. This old fellow was greedy for military funds and had no restraint at all. There were very few arrows and other defensive equipment on the city walls. Only a few were piled on the surface for inspection, the rest had long been sold for money.

“Damn it!”The captain of the guards cursed in his heart, then he shouted loudly, “Brothers, I don’t care what methods you use, you must guard the city gate for me. Think about your family’s wealth, think about your wives and daughters. You must not let these hundreds of thousands of demons into the city!”

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

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

“Yes! Sir!”The soldiers replied, and then they risked their lives to guard the city gate. The Arrows on the city wall had been used up, so the soldiers moved rocks from below the city, and then used the rocks to smash the slaves below the city.

After the rocks were used up, the soldiers had no choice but to demolish the houses near the city gate. Although the commoners were cursing, the soldiers knew that if they did not do their best to stop the slaves.., the losses that the commoners would have to bear would be even greater!

“Sir… Sir, it’s bad. The general has run away…”a soldier ran over while panting. However, he brought a piece of news that almost angered the captain of the guards to death.

It turned out that when the slaves were attacking the city, the general guarding the imperial capital had received the news. This fat old fellow had drunk too much blood from the soldiers. He knew very well how empty the imperial capital’s guards were under his crazy exploitation!

In order to eat empty pay, this general had taken the liberty of disarming four-fifths of the army. The entire imperial capital was known as a hundred thousand soldiers, but in reality, there were less than thirty thousand. Not to mention all kinds of equipment and armaments, they were all just for show, it was fine to deal with the inspection of the emperor, but in a real war, it might not be as effective as a big wooden stick.

It was precisely because he knew what he had done that the general had long determined that Mala would fall. So, he did not wait for the captain of the guards to send someone to inform him. He collected some gold and silver and then took thirty-seven concubines with him, he sneaked out of the city through a secret tunnel, and his family fled to the north.

In fact, like the general, there were many nobles who escaped through the secret tunnel with their family. Corrupt officials were usually more intelligent than honest officials. It was just that they did not use their wisdom in the right place.

There was a saying that “A crafty rabbit has three burrows”. These corrupt officials and nobles were no exception. They had long dug the secret tunnel. Although their original purpose was to escape with their family when the emperor wanted to punish them, when Mala city was in danger.., this secret passage also saved their lives.

“Damn it! These damn bugs!”The captain of the guards cursed and ordered the soldiers to directly go to the imperial palace to seek help. However, in a short period of time, he clearly did not have any reinforcements.

“Brothers, now Mala city can only rely on us! “Today, we will fight to the death. Not for those detestable nobles, not for that stupid emperor, but only for our parents, wives, and children not to be harmed by the demons. Today, we will fight to the death!”The captain of the guards saw that the city gate was about to be breached, so, he made the final mobilization!

“For our parents, wives, and children!”

“Fight to the death!”

The soldiers roared angrily 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!
