Chapter 81: The Fall of Voodoo

"Is this the so-called just war of your country in the private war waged by the nobles of Goliath, which has caused disasters to innocent civilians everywhere?" Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 He stood in the main hall of this palace with a flat expression, holding a strange crown in both hands. Looking at the white Greek negotiator below, he said:

"The Republic could not bear the cruel exploitation of the innocent people living here by the tyrants of Eritrea, so they sent a large army to help the people here free themselves from the tyrant's rule, and we were welcomed here. The monarch here brutally exploited the people, lived a life of luxury, sexual immorality, curryed favor with the Abyssinian Empire, and succumbed to foreign coercion. When you say that I am invading, in fact, you yourself are not happy with the people, and if you could unite as one, I may not be standing here so directly. ”

"Shameless people, ever since you Goliaths came to us, our people have lived in hell, our houses have been burned, our lives have been wantonly deprived, our land has been seized, our livestock have been taken away, and the slightest resistance will be mercilessly slaughtered. You said you came to save us, then now that the king is put to death, you can go, since you are a democratic and free republic, you will not be as brutal as a tyrannical militaristic state. Of course, we will also treat the valiant soldiers of the Republic with some hospitality, but if you wield your sword, we will not lack the heart to resist. The envoy said righteously, but also tactfully said that he would make some concessions, and showed toughness.

'Bang Dengden. The crown was still on the ground, and he fell down the steps to the side of the envoy, and Cizawa said disdainfully: "Take your crown and get out." Foolish fellows, you are plotting against your own monarch, it is a great rebellion, we Goliaths hate this kind of behavior the most, and how can you run the country with your meagre intelligence, you are just a bunch of guards who have betrayed your master, and you are trying to own the country, don't you see the form?

"Greedy vultures, you will fail, you are not peace-loving people, you shameless butchers who have made a fortune by tyrannical conquest, and the brutal militarism will be punished by heaven. The envoy said angrily.

"Your people are already on my side, idiots. Nishizawa said.

"No, the descendants of the Hebrew queen will not give in to the followers of Abivi. Saying that, he actually launched an attack on Nishizawa Wuyan, only to see his figure rush over quickly, and the weapon in his hand stabbed straight through. Lewis and the others on the side obviously didn't plan to make a move.

Nishizawa stopped the soldiers with crossbow arrows on the side, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. He stepped back, dodged the attack, and then kicked him to the ground.

"I won't kill you, I'm going to tell your leader, I don't need to surrender, my territory can't have such idiots, decapitation? You don't know that I often use this trick, negotiation does not lead to killing, this is what I often use, but I am not so stupid that I can't see the difference in strength. Nishizawa said with a smile, and many people around him laughed. At last all the Goliaths laughed.

When he left, Lewis on the side glanced thoughtfully at Nishizawa Uren, and Nishizawa Uren also showed a smile to the others around him. He never planned to leave, the other party guessed his plan wrong at the beginning, of course he was going to fail, through the war he had controlled most of the land here, and because of his land reform and slave emancipation, he had the support of a large number of landless peasants and slaves here, the reason why he agreed to negotiate was just out of the idea of minimizing losses, but he didn't expect the other party to see the form at all, just a clown-like figure, originally he thought that the leader of the forbidden army who dared to kill their king at this time was a powerful person, it seems that he thought too much, and he was not a smart person at all。

"I'm determined to win here, but unfortunately they misguessed what I meant, thinking that I just need a base to attack the southern Abyssinian Empire, how is it possible, the strategic position here is no worse than Abyssinia, and it is in the commercial area of the gold trade, which can be called the richest commercial kingdom in the entire Apollo, I can't let this area be independent of control, it is better to occupy it directly than by agreement. Nishizawa said.

It is a pity that the leader of the forbidden army still has illusions and counts on the Abyssinians in the south, but they do not know that they are too busy to take care of themselves in the civil war, and their emperor has been surrounded by several generals. Now their navy has been defeated by the generals again, and the land routes have been blocked again, and it is too naïve to try to stop us with one city. Lewis said.

"It's just across the Red Sea from the port of Yemen in the Republic, so it's not a problem to resupply. Lyuye said.

"Food is not a problem in the first place, and so are weapons, because the opponent's combat effectiveness is too poor, and there is not much damage at all, but there are too many strong people, and we often need to take action ourselves. We now mainly need to stock up on large quantities of supplies for the next war against Abyssinia. Peinan said lightly.

"How's the Voodoo investigation?" asked Nishizawa U.

"It's pretty much clear. That's when Lewis said.

"There have always been many religions on the Abyssinian plateau, from the Crucifixion of the Europa merchants, to the Davidianism of the Hebrews, and to the animism of the Negroes. This Voodoo is a branch of Animism, they are good at using curses and poisons, but their headquarters has been known to us, and now we have sent people to exterminate them, and the Cross and Branch Davidians have joined forces to riot, and their church has hundreds of guardian knights, and our soldiers are already suppressing it. In addition, all the land has been recovered, and all the property that belonged to the church has also been recovered. That's why those churches rioted. Lewis said.

"Repression with all its might, I hope there is only one religion here, and that is the religion of obedience to us. Nishizawa said calmly. He carried out reforms in Eritrea, the first of which was the reform of the land, and although he was resisted, he was an aggressor and was not afraid of this resistance, and they have now killed nearly 400,000 Eritreans, and if it were not for the fact that Cizer Uyi regarded her as his property, many more would have died.

"General, the capital city is very difficult to break, and it is said that their walls were built by the great mages hundreds of years ago, and even the giant cannons can't blast them. But it's nothing, the slaves here have been liberated, and they have all turned to support the generals, and we can train and test them through battle. Lyuyeino said.

"And the general, the head of the flag regiment, Igosiqi, also sent back the news today that the Kingdom of Djibouti is willing to surrender to us. Penan stepped forward and said as soon as Lyuyeno had finished speaking.

The Kingdom of Djibouti is an independent kingdom and unlike Eritrea, which is nominally a vassal of Abyssinia, it is not a secession from Eritrea. It is a completely independent black country, with a population of only a few hundred thousand people, which is a small country compared to Eritrea's population of more than two million, but its geographical location is not weaker than that, and if you get her, you can directly connect to the port of Yemen and the sea trade route to the East through the Red Sea. The port of Yemen meets the Kingdom of Djibouti not even a strait away, and it will take dozens of minutes to arrive by boat, and occupy her, and Cizawa Uzor will not have to worry about supplies. And she has no ability to resist, and if it weren't for the arrival of Cizeru, she would also be occupied by the Duchy of Eritrea.

Just as the meeting was about to end early, suddenly a soldier ran in, he was half-kneeling on the ground, looked at the military leaders in front of him, and said: " Excellencies, the combined pirates of the Vikings and the Nordrians attacked the city of Djibouti with our banner, plundered and killed many people, and our Banner Commander has already fought with them, he killed seven hundred and twenty-three pirates, and our Banner Regiment also killed twenty-three and wounded forty, and our Banner Commander took revenge by landing at the Vikings and killing many Vikings. Now the Commander of the Banner is planning to retaliate more violently, and I ask His Excellency the General for instructions.

The Vikings are a branch of the Goliaths, a cruel and cunning pirate people with long red hair. Since the migration of the Huns, the king of Adan Muqir to Europa, they have been raiding to this day, when they were bandits on horseback, invading the Germanic regions and Finland in Northern Europe, where the polar people living there are their direct descendants, but they have also been Europaized. Later, after Goliath was defeated, he migrated to the peninsula and gradually became a pirate. It was the main force of the Abivian navy, defeated the main Roman navy, and attacked the coast of Rome and the whole of Europa. They even sometimes traveled long distances to the Asahi Islands and Seris in the east to plunder, and they were extremely fierce.

"It's not good news, it's the first time they've attacked. Lewis shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Those damned Vikings, they dare to attack the general's men, they should be killed, the raider tribe should be found, and then they should all be killed, and these pirates should be dealt with with thunderbolts. You will crucify them all. Pennan said angrily.

"They're Goliaths too, so can't we take a more gentle approach? Lyuyeino frowned slightly when she heard Pennan's words. He did not think that the Vikings, who were also Goliaths, should use such cruel methods.

"Hey, Lyuye, when did you become a nationalist, does it matter if they are Goliaths or not? The point is that they attacked our people, Djibouti has surrendered to us, those are the generals' people, and their lives should also be decided by us, not a group of pirates. As for help, we don't need those barbarians who blindly rely only on brute force to win, we don't need those who don't obey discipline, with them, they will lead the soldiers badly. Pennan said dissatisfied.

"I don't sympathize with them, but I fear their power. The Vikings have a million people here, and they are all soldiers, and if they are provoked, they can mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to harass us, and they use that guerrilla style to attack our supply lines. In that case, we will not be able to prevent it, but we will stabilize them first and act later. Lyuyeno didn't look at Penan, but suggested to Nishizawa Uyo.

"What? To compromise with them, they killed dozens of generals, and we will do so, if we forgive them like this time, then look at it, and no one will dare to question us in the future. We don't have many people, and the reason why we can maintain our rule is because of the fear of those people, and if this fear is gone, then we must be prepared for mass murder, which will be a great loss. Pennan stared coldly at the skulls of the Vikings on the map.

"The temporary retreat was not to compromise, but to prepare for an attack, and the Vikings were just a bunch of wandering pirates this time. Maybe it was the leader of the Viking tribal alliance who tempted us. They are poorly equipped, and they have caused us so much damage, and it will not be good for us to be here when those who are well equipped are here. They can do a large-scale attack on the port of Yemen every year, and their strength must not be weak. Moreover, this has always been their territory, and we have been uninvited guests, and now we occupy most of Eritrea, build fortifications, and strengthen coastal defenses. This greatly reduces the effectiveness of their raids. They will fight us desperately to survive, and the Vikings are not easy to deal with. Liuye said to Pennan.

"Forget it, Pennan, don't forget, our naval captains are Vikings, the sailors are Nordrians, and we have only a few humble transports and the only giant battleship, the Punisher. Do not offend them until there is no independent navy. Lewis looked at Penan and wanted to speak, and then reminded. Sure enough, Pennan didn't speak. Then Lewis turned to the soldier and said, "Tell your flag commander to keep him restrained, and all the losses this time will be counted, and let him compensate the Vikings for their losses." Then the soldier was a little unwilling, but then nodded anyway.

"We have to have our own navy as soon as possible, otherwise, we will be blackmailed, and without sea power, we will lose here. Penan muttered.

"Yes, there's good timber here. Abyssinian in the south is said to have a kind of iron wood, which is not much more than steel, and these are the capital that can develop the navy. What we have to do now is to first build a fort in Djibouti and then restore order in Eritrea as soon as possible by recruiting some black soldiers to keep them safe and to serve as a kind of beginning to dismantle their hostilities. There is also a great construction here, and the abolition of slavery should be accelerated. Lewis said as he looked at the people around him.

"I thought these words would be more appropriate for the general. Pennan said.

"Don't worry about the details, Lewis and I are sometimes the same. Nishizawa spoke suddenly, and he looked at Lewis on the side.

Then he added to Lewis's words: "The center of construction is religious buildings, to spread our religion, and to build some infrastructure that has a great improvement in the local economy in a short period of time, not only can stabilize people's hearts, but also our money is not unlimited, we must have a certain surplus as soon as possible, and we have earned back the consumption of military spending from the plundering here, and we will return here below." ”

"The land here is suitable for farming, but they are only backward in technology, although it is indeed the most dynamic commercial kingdom of Apollo, but it is somewhat inferior to the countries of Europa, I believe that soon those will be grateful to us, these natural slaves, only with the whip on them, they will be more industrious. Pennan said.

"Don't always treat them with such contempt, they have an advantage. Lyuya was uncomfortable with this discrimination because he was a Crucifixion.

"Advantage, their advantage is their tenacious vitality and fast reproduction. Pennan said dismissively. But then he still said with a little respect: "However, those warriors among them still have to be treated differently, and those who do not surrender are the truly noble people, not the slaves of heaven." ”

"Alright, that's the end of the matter, and now, that's the end of the meeting. Nishizawa Ushi announced.

"That's the end of the general, and important things haven't been discussed yet. Penan wondered.

"Important things are not for discussion, I have my own plans. Nishizawa replied as he looked at the teacup in his hand.

"Pennan, you don't have to worry about that. The capital of Eritrea, there is no need to do a strong attack, only need to cut off their land and sea, although their city is strong, but that city is not self-sufficient. Now that the southern empire is in a civil war, it is powerless to intervene, although the king of kings last time tried to see how strong I was, but it was self-defeating not to do so. Lewis said to Penan, the last sentence in Seris.

"And in your Cyrisian language, what does that last sentence mean, what does it mean to be self-defeating?" asked Pennan.

"You don't need to know that. Lewis put his hands in his waist and leaned against the wall.

The capital of Eritrea, the city of Asmara. At this time, the Praetorian Army was making final preparations for what was to come, and they decided to die for their country, and they would never surrender no matter what, and these devout Crusaders, who were also 'pure-blooded' Hebrews, were outraged when they learned of the Goliaths' intentions. But they also knew that without food, without reinforcements, they alone would lose sooner or later, and although the city could not be destroyed, the spirit of the people would be crushed, and hunger, disease, boredom and fear were spreading.

Ships carried supplies from Abyssinia in the south to the city of Asmara, but only a tenth of them survived each time.

"Look, it's the Goliath's boat, quick, cover the others. The Hebrew captain Shayat Bohan shouted. These transport ships don't have the slightest ability to resist, and no matter how strong they are at sea, they can't exert their strength, otherwise how could they be so panicked with his strength.

The sound of the 'tearing' hull being shattered by ballistas struck everyone's hearts. The fire dragons burned the transport ships into fiery ships like the gods of death on the sea. Shayat Bohan knew that it was the Goliaths, that it was the fire of the sea that they had learned from the Romans. It is an inextinguishable flame invented by the ancient Roman Grand Magister, which is claimed to be able to incinerate everything.

"No, damn it. Shayat Bohan's heart throbbed, knowing full well that his father was among the ships that had been engulfed in flames. Those ships that were set on fire by fire. His old father used to be the kingdom's god of war at sea, and defeated the southerners many times, but unfortunately he was defeated by the Viking pirates more than ten years ago, and since then the kingdom has also fallen into decay, and the kingdom that the Vikings come to every year is crazy to raid and slaughter everyone they see. His mother also died at that time.

"No, I can't panic, this is the last chance for the kingdom to resist. Shayat Bohan thought to himself.

Suddenly, he saw the burning boats, the boats blown to their side by the wind.

"It's not good, disperse. "It's a pity that in such a chaotic situation, no one has acted according to their banners. The once mighty and fearless navy of the kingdom is long gone.

"It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. The once brave navy of the Kingdom of Eritrea could not even resist at all. Lewis sighed as he stood aboard the Punisher and looked at the unusually bright sea ahead of him illuminated by the firelight.

He saw those who had fallen into the water, and there was not a trace of fluctuation in his eyes: "Give them a happy death, I don't like to hear these wailing voices." ”

Clusters of green bars of fire were ejected out, and those who were touched by the bars of fire were instantly swallowed, and the seawater also emitted bubbles like boiling water, and the water vapor continued to rise. Some of them had to swim quickly to avoid the flames, like flying fish, and fled wildly in the water.

"Hahaha. ”

Some of the Goliath sailors burst out laughing, and they were all Vikings. The traditions of the Vikings led them to despise these enemies who did not die in battle. They love to see these enemies drowned after falling into the water, watching the painful struggles in the water. Others looked at them with a little sympathy, the Nordrians, who were the most sentimental warriors, who often felt sorry for the misfortunes of their opponents, and then treated their enemies even more ferociously in order not to make their families suffer the same fate.

"What a cold-blooded bunch, but sooner or later you'll be like them. Some of the Goliath soldiers in their land armor looked at the Vikings, and a wave of anger flashed through their hearts. They had followed Lewis to the landing force accustomed to fighting at sea, and the Goliath soldiers of the Marine Corps were still concerned about the Vikings stealing their booty.

The Goliath sailors under Lewis's command were victorious, and the sailors' morale was high, and most of them were pleased with the commander, while the Vikings were admiring and secretly frightened.

And the Hebrews, who were sunk one after another, had reached a dead end.

"General, another fleet has been wiped out by the Goliaths. We ······" The speaker was silent at the moment.

"Is God going to destroy us?" said some of the priests, who were already beginning to despair, holding crosses and praying.

"Will the Goliaths slaughter the city, General, or we will surrender, and then we will ······." The Cardinal said.

"Then you'll be alive, won't you?" Before he could finish speaking, a forbidden army officer said jokingly.

"Bastard, you dare to speak like this, I am here to protect the civilians here from the slaughter of the pagan devils. Cardinal John Lloyd's face was unusually sacred, and he said loudly.

"My lord, don't believe these gods, these guys usually enjoy people's offerings, but as soon as the disaster comes, it is so simple, they abandon their own believers, and only think about saving their own lives. The Praetorian officer said.

"Oh no, my lord, the black slaves in the city are rioting. A Hebrew slave owner hurriedly said.

"What?" the general, who had been looking resolute just now, couldn't help but have dark eyes at the moment.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency. Damn, you're not going to be a Goliath spy. A long knife in the officer's hand had been placed on the slave owner's neck.

"Don't get me wrong, I am, I'm a knight, a descendant of the explorer Count Henapo Convich who once served the king. The slave owner stammered.

"Fuck off, damn coward. "Look at Jazz who stumbled and was about to leave, the guy who had forgotten what he was here for. The officer shook his head and sighed, "The kingdom is really coming to an end. "He's going crazy, he didn't know there were so many cowards before.

"Damn, there is now effort to deal with the slave rebellion, it must be those slaves who have heard the emancipation decree of the Goliaths and now want to cooperate with them, these fools, don't you know that the Goliaths only treat them as slaves?" the officer cursed in a low voice, but still sent some troops.

"The voodoo people are going to surrender to us? It's a good thing, what? You say they're asking to be the rightful presence here, it's, it's just, it's just great, promise them first, and then, hum. The wing commander in command of the operation said to the soldier who was negotiating.

In the high plateau of the mountains, the headquarters fortress of Voodoo is located on the top of a hill surrounded by boulders, and only a hidden population goes out, in the hands of the Voodoo leader. The Goliaths besieged the fortress for many days without success, and then sent messengers to persuade them to surrender.

"Are you going to trick them out of this fortress and kill them all?" asked the other Wing Commander on the side.

"That's right, the Voodoo cult can't be kept, this is the order of the flag commander, they have been assassinating our people, this surrender is probably some kind of conspiracy, it is estimated that they want to poison us next time, to poison us all, then I will kill them all first. Uriuri said with a hideous face.

"Sure enough, it's the cunning and untrustworthy Sinbuyi. The inquiring flag leader thought to himself.

"The Voodoo branch here is a terrorist organization that has been reformed by the Assassin culture and must be eliminated, they are like a group of assassins in the shadows, threatening my officers at any time. These are the exact words of General Pennan. Uriuri said.

"Then the only way to do this is to destroy them, and I didn't want to break my oath and promise. The commander of the other flag had no choice but to say.

Soon Uriuri saw an old black man in a black robe with a scepter in his hand come out with a group of about a hundred people. The surrounding Goliath soldiers had strange looks in their eyes, and Uriuri secretly made a gesture.

"I am very happy that Elder Zaruuddin was able to come for the sake of the lives of these cultists, and I am assured that I will make you the rightful presence here. After Uriuri finished speaking, he ordered the interpreter on the side to pass the message to the other party.

When the elder heard this, he quarreled a few words with some dissatisfaction.

"What did he say?" asked the interpreter.

"He said, they are our allies, you can't talk to him in this tone, and they exist by the will of God, which is legitimate, and we Goliaths are sent by the devil to dislike the gods, and only by drinking their divine water can the curse of the gods be dissolved. The translator said.

"Hmph, tell them that soon they will be able to meet with God. A chill flashed in Uriuri's eyes.

As soon as the interpreter finished speaking, a large number of soldiers poured out from all directions, with crossbow arrows in their hands.

"What are you catching up with? We, but, ah!" Many of the Voodoo cultists were killed instantly, and the sect elder who was questioning had already fallen to the ground.

"I said, to make you legitimate, only when you are all dead, can you legally exist in history. Uriuri said with a cold face.

"Hahaha, crows will peck at your souls, you untrustworthy devils. "A wall of bones appeared around the old man with that scepter, and the bolts were blocked for a moment.

"Hey, you can't see it, you can curse us in hell. Uriuri's figure disappeared in an instant, and the next moment he appeared next to the old man, a red dagger had been inserted into the opponent's chest.

"This is our General's special dagger, and you don't have to use it to cast a curse on the medium. Uriuri said, but unfortunately the old man could no longer hear his words, and even if he could hear them, he could not understand them.

"Is it dead?" asked the flag leader next to him.

"It's over, let's burn the corpse. Uriuri said.

"Wait. Uriuri seemed to have thought of something.

"Why, do you want to bury them, these guys are so weird, if something is wrong, it's better to burn them according to the original plan. The flag commander said.

"No, these are the best carriers of the plague, throw them into the city of Asmara with trebuchets. Uriuri said.

"It's going to be the end of the place, and our loot will be gone. The flag leader frowned.

"The empire of the South, with its endless gold and ivory, its sturdy and beautiful black slaves, its rich land and abundant bounty, is nothing now, and we can go to the South. When the time comes, you can also marry a beautiful beauty. Uriuri said loudly.

"In that case, please. The other flag commander was clearly moved by what he said.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, there is still one alive here. A soldier ran over and said.

"Then you're still standing, why don't you kill him, what are you running here for?" Uriuri didn't speak, and the flag leader next to him asked.

"Hey, this isn't your subordinate, he's a soldier in my wing. Uriuri disagreed.

"That voodoo survivor, we thought it was a little strange, so we didn't kill it, and we wanted to ask the flag leader to make a decision. But all but the one who thought it was had been cleared, and the fleeing Voodoo men were all wiped out by our ambushed cavalry, and three were killed. They were killed by the monsters they summoned. The soldier said to Uriuri.

"What's so strange?" said Uriuri.

"General, now that Asmara has been besieged by us for nearly half a month, they are almost unable to support it. The three flag captains said to Lewis.

"Continue the siege, send troops in turns to harass them, so that they cannot rest. Lewis said, wiping the bloodstained knife in his hand.

"Yes, General. The flag commander then went on to direct the battle.

"It's also a good idea to use cannon fodder from those black people to drain their energy. You can't break them, but you can break their spirits. "Some of the flag captains were talking together.

"Their weapons and arrows can be consumed, but they can be made continuously, and although their supply has been cut off by us, we can't deplete their stocks in a short period of time. Another said.

"It's all because the power of this heavy artillery is not enough, otherwise we would have rushed in, these forbidden troops are just a group of guys who lack actual combat, not as powerful as imagined, just now my wing followed behind those black people, almost attacked, they were killed nearly 100 people, but our side only killed ten people, and seven people fell to their deaths. Looking at the fierce and repetitive siege battle ahead, the flag commander said with some unwillingness.

The battle ahead kept repeating itself, the Golliths besieging the city, and the soldiers in the city fought back. With their tenacious combat style and strong combat effectiveness, and the protection of the armor on their bodies, the Goliaths suffered not too many casualties, but they could not attack it.

"Damn, some of those black soldiers actually backed away. Kill them. When a wing commander saw that some of the blacks had fled, he ordered the overseers to shoot them.

The soldier coldly carried out the order, and fired without hesitation, the arrows were accurate, and each arrow killed a fleeing black man. Soon all three hundred deserters were shot.

With the screams of the blacks, the blacks around them who wanted to retreat rushed forward again.

"Damn. The co-captain took a shield and a katana and rushed straight over.

"Get out of the way,. After pushing a black soldier out of the way, he quickly climbed the ladder, his shield fending off the attack from above as he skilfully and swiftly advanced.

"Damn, it's not that hard at all. The captain easily climbed up.

After slashing four or five entangled Praetorian soldiers, he took the bow and arrow from his back at a corner of the wall, and as the strings buzzed, more and more Forbidden Soldiers were killed in their counterattacks.

The Wing Commander, dressed in black heavy armor, was like a stationary fortress, constantly firing lethal fire.

"Look, the commander of Yabuli rushed forward, the brothers stepped up, and the Simbui warriors rushed. "The morale of the soldiers below is extremely high. They simply threw away their shields and climbed up as fast as they could.

"Oh no, there's a group of Goliaths rushing up, go tell ······" Before the Praetorian officer could finish speaking, he was shot dead by a Goliath soldier who had just climbed up.

"Ahh Another Praetorian soldier was directly shocked and fell to the ground.

"Coward. The Goliath soldier took advantage of the fact that the other party had not yet gotten up, and quickly stepped forward to cut him down.

Then he moved closer to the co-captain.

In a corner of the fortress of the wall, the Goliaths established a tenacious 'stronghold'. The Forbidden Army, who were constantly trying to drive them down, began to grow stronger.
