Silver Moon sprinkled silver brilliance to the world as always.
It was a night in August, and the cool breeze took away the heat of the day, making people feel extraordinarily refreshed.
It has been eight days since Baron Camorra returned, and this is also the fifth night of Lorist's expedition to Beiye Town.
This is a small forest more than 200 meters away from Beiye Town. Lorist is leaning against a palm-thick cedar tree, looking up at the bright moon in the sky. of wooden poles.
Hawski and Jim came to Lorist's side, looked at Beiye Town in the distance, and looked at the wooden pole put aside.
"My lord, can you really climb the city wall with just this wooden pole?" Jim finally couldn't help it, and asked softly.
Lorist nodded: "Yes, you can start after I climb the city wall, are you ready?"
Husky patted the iron armor on his body: "Don't worry, my lord, we will never let you down."
"Why don't we act together? That's a catch-up..." Jim asked.
"More people means that it is easier to be discovered. When I go up to the city wall and make a mess of it, the attention of the defense team will be on me. At that time, you will not have unnecessary losses when you go to the city... "
"My lord, thank you..." Husky said with a sob.
"Why, the big man is still crying? It's embarrassing..." Lorist laughed.
"No, my lord, we are willing to do anything for you. Really, you have never looked down on us mercenaries, and have always treated us fairly. If it were other lords, the trench filling and siege would have driven us If the mercenaries do it, they will just stand behind and watch the fun..."
"I didn't think so much..." Lorist shook his head: "I think you mercenaries are rich in experience and have much stronger fighting power than the soldiers of my newly formed family. So I was originally going to use them when there was a stalemate. You entered the battlefield as a team of surprise soldiers and played a surprising role in winning. It’s just that I didn’t expect the garrison in Beiye Town to be so cunning, causing my family soldiers to be severely injured. Now I can only rely on you to accompany me to take risks.”
"My lord, this is what we are willing to do. Not only did you equip us with double-layer iron armor, but you also took the lead in the battle. It is an honor for us mercenaries to fight with you..." Haoski said excitedly, and Jim couldn't stand beside him. nod.
"My lord, look at the sky..." Pat reminded.
A large black cloud is covering the disc-like bright moon, and the sky and the earth are getting dark...
"Get ready, Pat." Lorist lifted one end of the long wooden pole.
"Well" Pat lifted the other end of the long wooden pole too.
When the silver moon in the sky was completely covered by dark clouds and it was dark everywhere, Lorist and Pat rushed out of the small woods carrying long wooden poles one after the other. They crossed the field, crossed the road, and soon came to Below the walls of Kitano Town.
Lorist didn't stop or slow down his sprinting speed. Seeing that the city wall was right in front of him, he jumped up with his toes pointing on the facade of the city wall. With Pat's sprint, he turned the long rice pole upwards, like flying over a wall , took advantage of the trend and rushed to the top of the city wall...
The guards at the top of the city were chatting: "It's getting dark, whoever throws a few torches down to see what's going on, be careful not to be approached by them..."
"Pull it down, they lost so much yesterday, do they still dare to attack..."
"I'm afraid they won't give up, everyone, don't be lazy, it won't take much effort to throw a few torches down..."
Lorist descended from the sky, and finally climbed onto the city wall as he wished. With the flash of sword light, four or five guards fell to the ground with their throats splattered with blood and their eyes open in disbelief...
He raised the torch on the ground and circled it three times around his head. The mercenaries in the small woods in the distance saw the signal of successful boarding and rushed out of the woods carrying two climbing ladders more than ten meters long, towards Beiye Town. run to...
"Enemy attack! The enemy has entered the city..." A broken gong-like sound broke the tranquility of the night.
The flames lit up from Beiye Town, and soon the lights were brightly lit. The crying and howling of children awakened, the sound of assembly gongs, and the noise of clashing knives and guns rang out in disorder.
"There!" Someone soon spotted Lorist at the head of the city.
"Swish, swish..." Countless arrows shot towards Lorist from the darkness...
Lorist became short, and moved three feet away from the ground. The place where he was originally was covered by arrow rain. Fortunately, the rain of arrows was only for a while, because Lorist had already been killed with the rushing guards.
"Kill!" The four spears rushed towards Lorist like poisonous snakes.
"Ah..." Two guards fell down screaming while clutching their wounds. Lorist cut one obliquely from his left shoulder to his right waist and opened a big opening. His internal organs were gushing out from the inside. The soldier only let out a short scream and died.
The other guard was stabbed in the chest by Lorist, and fell to the ground, clutching his wound and whining all the time. It's just that the guards behind rushed up and stepped on him non-stop, and soon he was silent...
On an iron bridge in Lorist, four gleaming spearheads brushed past the body.
"噗噢噢噐", Lorist slashed across with his sword, and the four spears were broken at the waist. The four guards only felt the spears in their hands tremble, and then lightly, and looked at the spears in their hands. There was only half of it left, and I couldn't help being startled, before I could react, I saw a black shadow rising in front of my eyes, the sword light shone into my eyes, it was black, and then my body seemed to be opened, and the pain hit, and I didn't know anything .
"Kill!" This was a silver-ranked swordsman, and he came straight for Lorist's chest with a glow on his long sword. Lorist turned around, and the long sword in his right hand came first, piercing the silver swordsman's left eye...
"Form formation, wave sprint!" A voice sounded in the distance.
"It sounds so familiar..." Lorist blocked a sword and a spear, and wiped the throats of the two guards.
"Kill..." This would be eight spears, four on the top and four on the top, sealing off the room for Lorist to move.
Lorist retreated, retreated again, kicked with his right foot, and a spear flew up on the ground and penetrated into the belly of a guard in front. Falling backwards. Lorist jumped into the gap exposed by the fallen guard like a fish...
The seven guards fell to the ground one by one.
"Attack back and forth, pay attention to the distance between the two teams, move closer..." The voice rang again.
"That's Malte's voice, that's the Morin family's garrison captain..." Lorist remembered who the familiar voice was, and got angry from his heart. He picked up several spears on the ground one after another, and headed towards the place where the voice sounded. Flying away, screams continued to sound.
"Kill..." Another row of guards rushed over, and the guards on the other side of the city wall were also rushing here...
A figure jumped up from under the city wall, and Jim's voice sounded: "My lord, we are coming up..."
Then two more figures came to the top of the city.
"That side belongs to you, and I'm in charge of this side." Lorist inserted the long sword into the scabbard on his back, raised a spear on the ground, and greeted the rushing guards, and there were screams from the city...
"There are people below, they are coming up..." A panicked voice screamed, and finally some guards found the mercenaries who were ascending the city.
"Don't panic! Throw the fire oil cans, and the archers will shoot down!" Marte's voice sounded again: "Brothers, this is our homeland. Our ancestors have worked hard here for two hundred years before we have what we have today. Beiye Town. This is our home. We have our parents and our children! For our loved ones, we fought against the enemy!"
"Kill!" "Fight"... .
More guards swarmed up...
"Day, I've become a villain..." Lorist was so angry that he felt extremely aggrieved, and his subordinates were even more merciless. The spear pierced out a little bit of cold star, stabbing the guards to the ground one by one, and blood flowed on the ground. Just kill one and jump over to a pair, kill two and rush up to four, it's too much to kill.
A wounded guard crawled slowly along the city wall, and suddenly jumped up and hugged Lorist's left foot. The end of Lorist's spear was retracted, and he slammed on the guard's head, his skull was smashed immediately, and he was killed. But even though the guard died, he still clung to Lorist's left foot.
"Day..." Lorist kicked twice, but he couldn't get rid of the corpse on his feet. The red-eyed guards in front of them were already disregarding their own life and death. They only wanted to stab Lorist. , As long as you open a hole in the enemy, you are willing to die yourself. There were even guards who wanted to grab the spear that Lorist had pierced into his body, so that his companions could get a chance to avenge him. The guards rushing up now would rather perish with Lorist...
Lorist could only drag the corpse on his feet back step by step, and Hawski's voice came from behind him: "My lord, no, we can't stop it..."
Lorist stabbed the two guards to death and looked back in a hurry. He was startled. At first, he felt that there were more than a dozen mercenaries, but now there are only four or five left. There is still a mercenary who is unconscious and dripping blood hanging on Ji's body, and there are two mercenaries in front of him holding up big shields and struggling to resist the attack of the guards...
"Why didn't the next one come up?" Lorist asked.
"I can't go up. One long ladder was burned, and another one was blocked by bows and arrows. Some people died when they went up..." Jim gasped.
Lorist was about to speak, when suddenly his eyes lit up, but the silver moon in the sky showed his face again, casting silver moonlight.
Lorist had killed too many guards, corpses were piled up, and the blood almost flowed down the back of his feet. The guards who were rushing here were also stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that the scene they saw under the moonlight after the darkness disappeared was so tragic. All they were stepping on were the corpses of their companions...
Lorist stepped on the arm of the corpse under his feet, broke free his left foot, pointed to the archer who was shooting down not far away, and said, "Hold on, I'll kill the archer over there and meet the people below." superior… "
Before he could finish speaking, Lorist suddenly got terrified and slumped down in a hurry. The sound of the wind passed over his head. Only then did three strings of "boom boom boom" reach his ears, followed by a loud bang of "boom boom" , the saw-toothed opening on the top of the city wall around Lorist shattered, and large and small gravel hit Lorist's body...
"Ah..." A huge crossbow hit two birds with one arrow, and the two mercenaries who were standing side by side holding shields against the guards were taken into the air, and fell over the city wall to the bottom of the city.
Of the three crossbow arrows, one passed over Lorist's head, one smashed the jagged opening on the city wall, and the other shot two mercenaries to death. If Lorist hadn't been able to hide quickly, he would have been seriously injured if he didn't die.
"Kill!" The morale of the guards on the mercenary side doubled, and they rushed over bravely.
Lorist jumped up from the ground and rushed over with his spear dancing. The screams became one, and the guards fell to the ground one after another...
After killing the group of defenders, Lorist turned his head and looked in the direction of the crossbow arrows, but saw a high platform erected at some point in Beiye Town about 80 meters away from the city gate, and placed side by side on the high platform. With three crossbows defending the city, at the moment a dozen people beside them are busy winding up...
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Lorist shouted.
Jim went down first, and Hawski slid down the long ladder with the wounded mercenary on his back.
"Shoot him..." Malte's voice sounded again.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Lorist turned over, hooked his feet to the long wooden pole and jumped upside down until he was three feet off the ground before jumping off. Pat rushed over to protect Lorist with a large shield, and he didn't forget to drag the long wooden pole with his other hand and run back. After running only a few tens of meters, the shield behind him heard the sound of being hit by an arrow.
Thirteen mercenaries died, twenty-one were wounded, and half of their strength was gone. Lorist gritted his teeth in hatred, he attacked the city wall and was driven down again, it was so frustrating. Unexpectedly, Beiye Town would build a platform in the city to place the crossbow, which posed a huge threat to Lorist, forcing Lorist to retreat, and successfully defended Beiye Town.
After fighting for most of the night, Lorist was so exhausted that he had no choice but to rest first.
…
Lorist attacked the city of Beiye Town for the second time. It was the early morning of the seventh day of the expedition, and there happened to be a little mist, which covered the movement of Lorist and Pat. Standing on the wall again.
This time Lorist was alone, and didn't want anyone to follow him, only Pat was behind the city to meet him. Lorist's purpose was to go up and kill for a while, killing the guards in Beiye Town with fear. After a few more visits, Lorist believes that they will collapse soon, and when the time comes, the whole army will be dispatched to take Beiye Town without breaking a sweat.
After fighting on the city wall for a while, Lorist was forced down the city by three crossbows. However, Lorist was not disappointed. This time he went to the city to kill another one or two hundred guards, and he was unscathed. A few more victories are in sight.
But a small incident happened on the city wall, Lorist didn't care. It was a white-haired old man who rushed over, shouting to give back his son's life, with bare hands. Lorist couldn't bear it, probably because the old man gave his precious son something to eat in the morning, just as Lorist went to the city, the precious son was loyal to his duty and died, and the old man rushed forward with grief and indignation and tears , without a weapon to open his mouth to bite, Lorist had no choice but to slap the old man unconscious.
…
On the ninth day of the expedition, Lorist attacked the city again, but to Pat's surprise, Lorist came down as soon as he entered the city. The city died.
Before Pat could react, he saw many white-haired old men, women and children appearing on the city wall, cursing and crying at Lorist under the city wall, demanding that Lorist return their sons, husbands, fathers, etc. … .
Loris dragged Pat to flee.
Pat was very puzzled: "My lord, these are rebellious relatives, why didn't you take action against them?"
"Day, can you do it?" Lorist squinted at Pat: "How about I send you up to let you kill? We are fighters, not butchers and executioners. Robbery versus robbery, sword versus sword for life and death No complaints. But if I shoot these old people, women, children and children, I will have nightmares at night. Even if they are rebellious relatives, we must have our own bottom line, people, you can't become animals!"
"Then, how do you attack the city?"
"Go back and think about it, there will always be a way."
