Chapter 33: Breaking Through the Defenses

Sniffing the smell of blood in the air, Orgar's brows furrowed slightly,

I think it's a good mood.

For a creature like a demon, a peaceful life is not bad, but it is always a little less tasty.

Today's purge in the royal capital undoubtedly suited his appetite and made him feel the peace he had not seen for a long time.

As for what they were dealing with, Orga didn't care much, he didn't care if there were other demons entering this world, anyway, with his strength, he didn't have the ability to take this world now, just like a rat running into a granary, maybe he could eat enough, but that's all.

So he doesn't have much of a problem with other demons trying to break in, he can come in if he can, and pull him down if he can't.

However, if he has the opportunity, he doesn't mind killing demons, after all, killing a powerful demon can also make a lot of money, and if you don't make money, you won't make it for nothing.

Looking through the soil layer above and looking at the moon in the sky, he stretched: "...... I really want to do the event......"

I miss the bottomless abyss in the 'you kill me, I kill you.' 's simple time.

In the next moment, the figure turned into an illusory bubble and disappeared into the basement.

-------

When it's almost dawn.

The two sides finally completed their tasks and converged in front of the palace.

As soon as they met, Safi took the initiative to complain: "Your Highness Jem, I think this deal, our church is also too lost, originally just wanted to prevent the demon from coming, but I didn't expect to help you deal with more than ten cult forces, as well as five or six underground forces, this is completely outside the task." ”

At first glance, I wanted to get Jem Watts to do more.

In this regard, Jem Watts just smiled and waved his hand: "How can you say that, our Duchy of Marton has paid for it, and I see the manpower of your church. Although he looks a little tired, there are not many casualties at all, so you can work harder!"

The implication is that the transaction has already begun, and it is impossible to ask Lao Tzu to add money.

Safi just smiled at this and didn't say anything more, because he knew that saying it was the same as not saying it.

The person in front of him is at least as thick-skinned as himself, and he is not a person who is easy to fool.

After silently giving the other party a comment that he didn't know whether to say high or low, Safi looked at the several carriages behind Jem Watts that were still bleeding, and said with a slight smile in his eyes: "It seems that not only my side, but even His Highness has encountered a lot of trouble!"

Jem Watts shook his head, smiled casually and said, "No way. As a crown prince, I would feel uneasy when I suddenly found so many rebels and thieves, and I had my soldiers cut off their heads and pile them up at the city gate as a warning to warn those who came after me. ”

Safi persuaded: "Everyone is dead, Your Highness will have a lot of gossip in doing this, it's not very appropriate!"

"It's just a small matter, it's not worth mentioning, let's clean up first, it's better to get ready to enter the palace, although this is a search, but after all, the palace represents the face of the Duchy of Marton, I hope the bishop can let his priests restrain a little. ”

"Naturally, I still understand this. ”

Soon after, when both sides were almost rested, Jem Watts walked to the palace and made two gestures, and the palace door was opened from the inside, without saying a word.

Faced with this situation, Safi frowned slightly: "It seems that all the key places in the Marton Kingdom have basically been handled by him. ’

"Let's go......"

Regardless of what they were thinking, Jem took the lead and rode into the palace on his warhorse.

But what Jem Watts didn't expect was that as soon as he entered it, he saw a familiar figure, standing not far away with his back to him.

After his face changed for a while, he stepped off the war horse and knelt down on one knee and said, "Queen Mother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The other party said without looking back: "I don't have a son like you." ”

There was indifference in his voice.

Not caring about the other party's indifference, Jem Wads said as usual: "Now there are cultists hiding in the royal capital, they are trying to cause great trouble, and there is a certain risk in the palace, so I need to inspect the palace, I hope the queen mother will not be surprised." ”

The other party smiled disdainfully and said, "Excuse me, is it useful to say what I say now?"

With that, he walked away, not even looking at Jem Watts and her son.

Although Safi on the side had no expression on his face, he immediately felt that there were a lot of insiders in his heart, otherwise a mother and son should never be mixed like enemies.

When the other party left, Jem Watts stood up from the ground with his usual face and waved his hand lightly to the soldiers and priests behind him: "Start searching, be careful not to destroy things." ”

Only Charles noticed that Jem Wads's eyes were glazed over, as if he were thinking about something.

Obviously, the heart is far from being as calm as it is on the face.

But Charles didn't ask much, because he knew what kind of person Jem Watts was, and there must be a reason why he didn't want to talk about it.

So I just stood quietly and did nothing.

---------

Soon after, after some searching.

The crowd confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the palace.

With Jem Watts' instructions, they moved on to the next location.

--------

Looking at the building in front of him, Safi controlled the war horse and stopped, and said with an extremely serious expression: "We seem to have found our target." ”

"Because he sensed our approach, and was not sure that he would not be discovered, he simply stopped pretending?"

Feeling the completely different atmosphere of the building, Jem Watts calmly analyzed: "It seems that by knowing our movements in the city, they have deduced our purpose, so now they are planning to destroy the ship." ”

'The Colosseum, as one of the largest buildings in the royal capital, has always been the seat of the royal family in turn, and I remember that the person who is now in charge of this place is my uncle Richard Watts, and it was his negligence that it was used as a den by the Crooked Spirits, or was it something else......

After thinking about it, he gave up dwelling on the problem.

Because there is a problem in front of him at the moment, that is, because when the Colosseum was built, it was also given the role of [Royal Capital Defense Fortress], so its construction specifications are exceptionally high, the height of the outer city wall is close to thirty-five meters, except for knights, ordinary people can only sigh even if they have ropes, and the gate is made of iron and wood plus metal, fireproof and sword-proof, even a battering ram cannot be broken in a short time.

Faced with this fortress standing in front of him, Jem Watts directly gave up his plan to go through the main gate.

After his eyes flickered a few times, he raised his hand and shouted: "All knight-level and great knight-level people have changed into wall climbing hooks and are ready to climb the wall to fight! ”

Unlike Earth, where sieges must rely on large equipment such as siege ladders, the humans of this world have additional development in certain tools due to their supernatural powers. The wall climbing hook is one of them, which can make people climb on the wall to a certain extent, but it is too dependent on physical strength, and it is easy to fall to death once you climb high.

And this thing needs to use all the limbs, so people can't even lift their shields, and it's easy to be hit by the defender as a moving target, so most of its role is used for sneak attacks, and frontal combat is just a simple search for death.

However, at the moment, although the other party has taken precautions, Jem Watts does not believe that a group of shady cultists can hastily raise hundreds of people to defend, and only a few dozen people will die. With the support of bows and arrows, the thousands of knights and big knights on their side can force their way up the wall with the help of the wall climbing hook, and there may be a certain degree of casualties, but at least within the acceptable range!

With his order, the soldiers and generals did not hesitate, and immediately began to change their equipment and quickly put on the wall climbing hooks, while the priests of the Church Cult Hunting Station began to hesitate and looked at Safi.

After some hesitation, Safi gritted his teeth and ordered: "The knight-level and the great knight-level will start to wear the wall climbing hook and prepare to fight together, and those who are not at the knight level will use bows and arrows as cover attacks." ”

He knew that at this time, the necessary sacrifice could not be avoided, otherwise when the sacrifice ceremony in the Colosseum was completely completed, the demon would really come to this world, and it would definitely cause greater losses, which was not the scenario he wanted to see.

No matter what his purpose was, what he thought about the Duchy of Marton, but as a devout cultist, his dislike for demons was absolute and he couldn't tolerate that kind of thing happening right in front of his eyes.

As soon as this order was issued, many priests immediately began to change their equipment like the soldiers of the Duchy of Marton.

The wall hook is as much a weapon to them as the sword, and when it comes to special operations, they are often more familiar with cultists and evil creatures than most soldiers!

When everything was ready, with several rounds of rocket fire, a burst of screams began to sound in the Colosseum, the sound of the cultists being hit.

Pinching the interval between the attacks of a round of bows and arrows, Jem Wads ordered without any hesitation: "The assault begins!"

Thousands of warriors armed with wall climbing hooks clinged to the walls like lizards and began to climb quickly!

During this time, many cultists tried to shoot them down, but the constant attacks of bows and arrows kept most of them at bay, and only a few were able to pull out their hands to attack the climbers on the walls.

In the face of these attacks, those climbers were unable to fight back, but relying on the absolute superiority of numbers, they directly forced their defenses through the casualties.

As they continued to succeed in climbing the wall, Jem Watts immediately stopped the archers from shooting.

Because of the change in the number of people above, that would do no good except to shoot at one's own people.

He didn't have to wait too long, and with the sound of the edges and corners of the gate rubbing against the ground, the gate of the Colosseum was opened from the inside!

Jem Watts ordered: "All archers change to melee weapons!
