Sword and Fire XV

The ring advanced quite quickly. Backed by trebuchets and ballistas behind the stone walls of the bunker, one megalith golem after another fell on their way. The farthest of them was probably less than a hundred feet from the walls. But if you don't do it, you don't do it. The fallen Stone Golem is of no use other than obstructing your path.

The Storm Cloak's most elite Praetorian Guards did not appear on the battlefield. Some speculate that they should be the main force of the Imperial Legion in the White Ground area with Ulfric. And that's exactly what happened.

Therefore, Xue Man can unscrupulously use the elite of the squad to focus on hitting a certain tactical target, or a few tactical targets that are not too far from the city wall. The Storm Cloak, on the other hand, can only be stacked with human lives.

"Grand Commander, the ring of the comrade-in-arms has reached its predetermined position. "A civilian (a rarity in the Cloak of Storms) came to Gadama Stonefist's side and briefed him on the latest developments on the battlefield.

"The brethren are holding them back. But I'm afraid it won't last long. ”

"Hehehehehe......" Storm Strike picked up his hammer and stood up like a giant in the wilderness. And the majestic momentum that lingers on him at this moment, even a genuine giant will choose to retreat cautiously.

"Finally, I was able to let go of all my means and really fight a game. I've been looking forward to it for a long time. He took a step forward, and the heavy armor of his body made a sharp sound like the grinding wheel clashing. And when his footsteps hit the ground, it was like a meteorite hitting the ground, causing the entire barracks to tremble slightly.

"Inform Master Wu En and get ready to go. ”

……………………

The first wave of the rebel offensive finally fell to the ground under the heroic Snowman Defenders. At the same time that the penultimate megalithic golem was knocked down by the heavy ballista of the defending city, the rebel trebuchet smashed oil bombs and stones from a distance. Suppress the defenders on the walls while covering the retreat of the Stormcloak warriors.

It will take at least five minutes for the second wave of the offensive to arrive.

Or longer.

And during this time, it was enough for the defenders to gather their formation and restore their morale.

"The rebels made a stupid move. Hadava said happily, regardless of whether anyone could pick up on his words.

"The Nords never forget the battle, even when they are drunk. It's not known why they chose this time, but their strategy was undoubtedly a failure. ”

The young centurion looked back at his slightly tired but still scrappy troops. Twelve people died in the battle just now. Many more have suffered minor or serious injuries. But compared to the defeat suffered by the Stormcloak, the effort was worth it.

Not to mention we're going to win, aren't we?

Hadava thought optimistically. From him, he could see that the rings of his comrades were besieging the Stone Golem. As was customary, as long as all the megaliths were defeated, the rebels had no choice but to retreat.

From the beginning of the war to the present, not a single stone statue has been able to touch the snow-covered walls. But judging from the tactics of the Storm Cloak, once this terrible thing happens, it will mean a shocking reversal of the situation.

"But even if they take the façade, it's useless. Hadava whispered. "Behind the outer walls there are moats, there are drawbridges, there are inner walls, and there are countless strong-willed Imperial warriors. They can't get in. ”

At this moment, Lilith next to him kicked him.

Hadava turned his head sharply, and a herald of the legion was standing not far from him, watching him.

"What's wrong?"

"This is an order given to you by Governor Quincy. The herald respectfully handed over a tightly sealed text, "Please remain calm and obey." ”

As if had been expected for a long time, when Hadava looked at Wen Jiàn repeatedly and raised his head, his young face was already crawling with anger. He lowered his voice and shouted in a voice that only those standing beside him could hear: "What does this mean, this is betrayal!"

"You are questioning the orders of a military governor, please think about it before you make a move!" the herald looked at Hadava without flinching, "for the sake of victory." You must, must, obey, obey. ”

Hadava stared at the featureless face for a full five seconds before nodding slowly. Every word seems to be squeezed out of your teeth.

"Hadava will obey. ”

The herald bowed deeply, then left without looking back. Only the gloomy face of the Legion centurion remained, and his fist almost broke the flesh of his palm.

Lilith, who was beside him, kicked lightly on his shoes, and there was an inquiring look in her eyes.

"Nothing. It's just a marching route. Hadava said nonchalantly. "It's just a marching route. ”

He pressed against the edge of the wall, looking aimlessly at the other side of the battlefield. The enemy's second wave of troops had been assembled, and had bypassed the Ring, rapidly advancing in the direction of the snowman.

"It's just a marching route. He repeated it again.

He didn't dare to look back, he didn't dare to look behind him.

……………………

Before the blood-soaked hammer smashed into the chest of a Circle Warrior, Skoryue thought he was close to victory.

It couldn't have been easier. Before that, they had accomplished similar tasks perfectly seven or eight times. And this time it shouldn't have been an exception.

The comrades-in-arms are invincible. And they haven't failed before. Even in the face of a tenfold and hundredfold number of enemies, the warriors of the Circle were able to win at a meager, if not negligible, cost.

Even not so long ago, when they faced the greatest challenge they had ever faced – the terrifying golden red sublime dragon and the rampage dragonborn Alice - not a single one of them would lose their lives under the cover of the shield brothers.

The ring will not be defeated, it will not die. As long as...... They are shoulder to shoulder.

This is the end of this arrogance.

With its wielding hammer, the Storm Strike crushed their pride into a mud along with their blood.

"Roar!!!!"

Immediately, the irrepressible Ring Warriors lifted the domination of the beast and pounced on Gadama as a mighty werewolf leader.

"Hehehehe......" Gadama knocked the werewolf to the ground with just one blow. Then he strode forward, and the giant hand shrouded in heavy armor had already pinched the werewolf's head. "Little wolf cubs, you ......"

"It's still too tender!!"

'Bang!' The wolf's head exploded into a cloud of blood. The splatters of blood even got on Skoryue's breastplate. In the anger and grief of the Circle Warriors, the headless giant wolf's body fell limply, and was trampled in two by Gadama like a mass of garbage.

The third blood feud is nothing more than that.

The wrathed warriors did not hesitate to abandon the half-crippled Stone Golem, either swinging their claws at Gadama in a bestial stance, or firing at the Storm Strike with their ancient strong bows. Grief dominates their power, allowing them to be more ferocious and more terrifying than usual.

Even so, they still couldn't gain the upper hand in front of Gardama Stonefist, who was going all out. The blood-colored ** surrounded the Storm Hammer, making his body as hard as diamond rock, making his strength as huge as a mammoth, and when he wielded the executioner's sledgehammer, it was like a terrifying hurricane that was enough to tear apart the oceans and shatter the mountains on the earth!

The warriors present finally understood why the man in front of them was called the Storm Wing. Because fighting him is no different from slashing at the hovering steel in the storm!

But there is no way back for them. Either beat him here, or he beat them here. There is no other way but to fight to the death with all your might.

Only two warriors were able to maintain some composure, one was Wilcas, who was known for his wisdom and calmness, and the other was the leader of the Ring, Skoyue.

[The Storm Strike is a proud person, there is no need to hide his strength until now......]

[So, why did he do this?]

Scorp turned his head sharply, and at the end of his vision, the brilliance that was characteristic of the high-level spells that were cast was fading.

"Oh no!

In response to Scott, he was hit with a hammer that almost knocked him to the point of vomiting blood. Gadama grinned, the blood of the Circle Warriors splashing down his monstrous skeletal armor, making him look like a terrifying demon that had just crawled out of the Hell of Annihilation.

"You guys, you're rushing too deep!"

Rewind time to five seconds ago.

Waves of bloody yellow light swept by. On the various sections of the wall, at least two hundred brave warriors fell abruptly and silently.

"High Wizard !!"

The well-informed veteran shouted in fear—her position was immediately baptized by three bursting fireballs. Not only people, but even the wooden protection on that section of the city wall was shattered by the explosion, and not even a single fingernail-sized residue remained.

And with the release of this spell, the large illusion enchantment used for concealment also dissipated. Dozens of guys dressed in gray robes who were out of place in their surroundings suddenly appeared in the center of the rebel array. It was only forty or fifty feet away from the city wall. And in the midst of these many wizards, an old man with a cane has a particularly strong sense of existence.

"It's him......" said a sluggish Imperial officer who had traveled the East, "Windhelm City Court Wizard, Living Dead Witch!"

"Beware of corpses killed by witchcraft!!"

His voice had just come out of his throat. A hand that was still warm pierced his heart. His comrades, who had lost their lives only ten seconds earlier, crawled out of the hell of annihilation and tried to drag the living into the arms of death with their own hands.

This is not the only place where the same thing happens. In all corners of the city walls, the slain warriors rose again under the control of evil magic. Sprinkle fear and death on your close comrades-in-arms who were still fighting side by side just now. Elite Imperial swordsmen are also able to forcibly suppress the uneasiness and anger in their hearts. The conscripts were clearly not capable of doing so - they screamed and scurried around like ducks burned by tongs.

There were archers who tried to shoot at the Witch, but there was no point in front of a defensive junction large enough to withstand the direct attack of the giant trebuchet.

Superior summoning is a sophistry of life and death.

This was a forbidden spell born out of the slavery of the dead. With the cooperation of the high-level wizard Wu En and his wizarding group, the necromancy that could only affect a dozen people has been expanded by at least ten times its power.

This is enough to decide the outcome of a large-scale battle. The premise is ...... The opposing team does not have a wizard of the same rank to compete with.

"Here, give it to everyone!" accompanied by a slightly immature female voice, the brilliance of the upper level of the Restoration Spell shrouded the snowy city wall in the blink of an eye. All the fighters who were still alive felt an inexplicable burst of courage rise from the bottom of their hearts. The body became stronger, the eyes sharpened, and the almost endless power rolled and flowed through the veins.

The Upper Rank Restoration Spell Ginares is an inspiration. As long as this light shines, even the cowardly farmer dares to challenge the dragon single-handedly!

What kind of is that?

The militiamen, who were panicked and almost retreated, all became fearless warriors at this moment. Calm and composed, fanatical and ferocious, they can tear open the heads of the dead without changing their faces, even if they are gouged out by the living corpses that pounce on them. And those Storm Cloak warriors who climbed up in the air were almost all the direct guards of the God of War. Even if they split the chest of the Imperial Sword and Shield Bearer in front of them with an axe and tear their hearts, they would be able to chant 'Long live the snow'. Then bring at least two enemies down the walls together.

And such a powerful spell is naturally not all without a price. Ruby, overdrawn with all her magic and mental strength, collapsed weakly, and was then half-supported and escorted back to the temple of Gina Lace under the protection of the vigilant temple guards.

On the other side, the court wizard Farenga also appeared on the battlefield in time with his wizard group. and striking Wu and his wizarding group with a storm of fire and ice. With the deliberate cooperation of Xueman's siege weapons and archers, the battlefield of the two high-ranking wizards gradually shifted to the edge of the city walls.

After all, this is Farenga's home turf. Even if the ability may be lacking, it is still possible to control the position of the struggle a little. Even if the walls were built with demonic materials. But it is still quite dangerous to directly face the impact of high-level spells.

And it was just a breath or two of effort, and the front of the snowy castle tower had been carefully plowed by the rioting elemental storm. A passage large enough to accommodate nearly a hundred people was opened. And this seems to be just the aftermath of the two inadvertently.

[Now, all the hole cards that can be confirmed by Xueman have been used.] 】

[Then it's time too]

In an inconspicuous corner of the battlefield, an exceptionally well-preserved megalithic golem suddenly stood up.
