A wave of 500 troops, led by more than 50 berserkers, slammed into the walls of Gronia like a giant fist.
Those berserkers ran quickly, howling one after another, and a faint white airflow emanated from their bodies. Under the influence of this airflow, they entered a violent state, their eyes were red, their expressions were crazy, veins on their bodies were bulging, and their muscles were swollen.
The white Qi is not Dou Qi, but a special energy called Mad Qi. It comes from the berserker's spirit rather than his body, but it has a stronger strengthening effect than Dou Qi, and can make the berserker enter a frenzy state. In the frenzy state, their strength, speed, endurance and recovery are greatly improved. In particular, these warriors will gain a bloodthirsty desire. They are eager to fight and have no fear of death. Such an army is difficult to defeat even if the opponent is equally strong.
But the side effect is that the outburst of madness suppresses the Berserker's reason and wisdom, weakening their control over themselves. They are dominated by their own emotions and fight according to instinct. They often only care about fighting for themselves and find it difficult to obey orders and commands.
There are many examples in history of berserkers chasing enemies until they are exhausted, and finally being killed by the enemy. There are also cases where berserkers did not vent enough killing intent after killing the enemy, and killed their own friendly forces in a frenzy. Therefore, the army of berserkers is a double-edged sword for any commander. If used well, it is a positive force that can crush everything in its path, but if used badly, it can put the army in an irreversible situation.
On the collapsed city wall, the rubble formed a slope. The Berserkers jumped and climbed like monkeys, rushing to the gap at a speed far beyond that of ordinary people.
The city guards formed a battle formation at the opening. Two rows of more than 20 warriors blocked the opening with swords and shields, and behind them were more than 50 spearmen and archers. They looked difficult to deal with with their swords and spears. But the loose formation of berserkers rushed forward without hesitation.
Under the protection of madness, the berserker's skin becomes as hard as a rock. The swords and spears of the defending soldiers can only leave shallow wounds on them. Even if there are wounds, the berserker's body will quickly stop bleeding and repair the wounds. It is often difficult for four or five soldiers to really injure a berserker. It is difficult for the flying arrows to penetrate the berserker's body half an inch. Most of the berserkers in the front row have many arrows stuck in their bodies, but they are still fighting vigorously. These limited injuries not only do not reduce the berserker's ability to move, but also stimulate them to be more crazy under the stimulation of pain, gaining greater strength and faster speed, and doubling their combat power.
The Berserkers rushed into the defenders' formation, knocking the first row of soldiers to the ground. Then the Berserkers at the front began to swing their giant swords and axes. These powerful weapons were wielded like windmills by these warriors. The front row of defenders only put up a weak resistance before being completely defeated. Wherever the Berserkers' swords and axes touched, there were broken arms and limbs, bloody storms.
The enemy officers drove soldiers up from the city walls on both ends to block the way, but soon the berserkers who followed behind came forward to fight and forced them back.
Several mid-level and low-level Douqi warriors of the enemy had to come out to fight, but the most common berserkers were at least low-level. When they were berserkers, their physical fitness was even stronger than that of low-level Douqi warriors. Soon, five or six Douqi warriors were overwhelmed by the berserkers. Even the two mid-level warriors were frightened by the berserkers' desperate siege. They tried their best to kill two berserkers and severely injured the other two, but soon more berserkers rushed up with roars, regardless of the death of their companions. Among these people, there were also masters among the berserkers. The two mid-level warriors were besieged from all sides by the berserkers and were soon stabbed in the back, losing their fighting power, and then chopped into pieces by the crazy berserkers.
The battle took only fifteen minutes. The Berserkers had already broken through the enemy's line, killed the enemy's masters, and then began to break into the city. There were no more enemies in the gap and the two surrounding walls. There were only the remnants of the defeated soldiers who were running around in fear.
After the leading berserkers rushed into the city, they remained in a frenzied state. They did not stop and chased after the collapsed enemy in different directions.
They ruthlessly destroyed all creatures that appeared in their sight along the way.
Behind them, five hundred ordinary warriors began to charge. They had been keeping a distance from the berserkers, fearing that these crazy people would suddenly turn around and hack and kill them.
Only when the berserkers finished the fight and jumped off the wall did they follow them up the gravel slope.
About fifty of these warriors were veterans with sufficient training and experience, and the rest were farmers and citizens who had recently joined Serinda's army. Urged and driven by officers and veterans, they climbed up the gap tremblingly and rushed towards the remaining enemies.
Serinda's men did not find any ambushes or traps in the city, so after thirty minutes, she sent out a second team of one thousand men to consolidate the current victory.
Only after several officers sent people out of the city to report that the situation in the city had been settled did Serinda and Li Jia climb up the city wall under the escort of their personal guards.
At this time, the whole city was filled with thick smoke. Although the war was about to end, the killing had not ended. A gust of wind blew from the city, bringing with it a mixture of blood and burnt smells, as well as screams and wails.
Serinda held onto the stone on the battlement and said to Li Jia, "See? This is the power of the Berserkers. Such warriors fight for us regardless of their lives. If we don't reward them well, how can we justify their bravery?"
Li Jia saw the battle clearly from the Mage's Eye. When he watched the Berserkers fighting, the scene of the swords piercing the flesh and blood splattering made even his blood boil.
But when he thought that these soldiers had already rushed into the city and were treating the civilians in the city with the same methods, Li Jia felt a sense of suffocation for no reason.
At this time, Serinda said, "Come with me to the City Lord's Mansion. They reported that they have captured the cowardly lord. I want to see his true face with my own eyes and then hang him."
"No, I want to walk around the city and see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net?" Li Jia said.
Serinda looked at him and raised her lips slightly, saying, "Okay!" (To be continued)
