Chapter 16: Siege
In Gold Town, the general who defended the city, Bo Shi, looked at the triangular-eyed dwarf in front of him with suspicion, who claimed to be the little leader of the gold mine overseer.
"You said you saw Count Novan being killed by the enemy, and Count Casa being possessed by a ghost?" The boulder didn't believe the words of the little man in front of him at all! Compared to believing the words of a guy who knew at a glance that he was not a good person, Boulder was more willing to trust his own judgment! In the opinion of the berserker Boulder, whose strength had reached the third order, the troops led by the two Earls could retreat calmly even if they could not kill the enemies who attacked the mine. Therefore, Boulder asked his soldiers to take this little dwarf of unknown origin to the underground prison for torture and interrogation, and he sent a team of scouts to the mine to find out the news. Although he didn't believe what the little man said, the boulder still sent some people over very cautiously. If the mine really encounters any trouble, the Golden Town side can also send troops to support it in time.
However, the scouts sent by the boulder did not leave for long, and quickly rode back on their horses. The reason is simple, the Count of Casa has already returned with his army.
As for Count Novan, who was with him, Count Casa, said that Count Novan had stayed at the mine for the time being.
Before the boulder could ask the scouts for more information, Count Casa had already appeared outside the walls of Golden Town with nearly a thousand cavalry.
Looking at the cavalry team from a distance, whose momentum was obviously a little weak, Boulder's heart "chuckled", and he faintly felt that there was something wrong with it. Although the number of cavalry is not much less, the spirit of a cavalry unit can tell a lot. A cavalry that was imposing before setting off, but when it came back, it was as if it had lost a battle, and this change in momentum made the battle-hardened boulder feel an abnormal change. However, since the person leading the team was indeed the Count of Casa, the boulder could only put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, and went outside the city to inquire what was going on.
Facing the third-order berserker boulder who came out of the city to greet him, even the genuine Count of Casa didn't dare to be too slow. On the one hand, it is because the combat power of the boulder has reached the third order, and its strength is strong. On the other hand, Jushi was the Grand Duke's personal guard commander before, and he was one of the few people that the Grand Duke trusted the most. Although the supreme commanders of this golden town are the Counts of Casa and Count Nova, it is the Monolith of the City Guard that really manages the day-to-day affairs and is responsible for defending the city.
If it was just a berserker whose strength had reached the third order, the six heroes under Zuo Zhe could certainly easily kill him. But the problem is that the boulder is not alone, and there is an elite personal guard behind him. It's not that the boulder can't trust Count Casa, but that's how the boulder's pomp and circumstance is. If a person goes out alone to greet him, on the one hand, he is sorry for the pomp and circumstance of being the commander, and on the other hand, it is also rude to the Count of Casa who greets him.
So, now do you want to directly attack the Commander with only a dozen or so guards, or do you choose another method?For example, summon a banshee to occupy the body of the boulder?
It's a pity that Zuo Zhe only has 80 kilograms of gold now, and he can only summon one banshee. If the monolith had any life-saving equipment, the banshee's occupation might fail, just like the anomaly that occurred when she occupied Count Casa before. Speaking of which, although Zuo Zhe has no way to use the loot, the heroes under Zuo Zhe have a six-bar equipment slot, which can equip the magic items and equipment of this world. Therefore, these heroes under Zuo Zhe are no longer naked heroes, but heroes with good equipment!
"Lord Earl, I wonder what is happening in the mines, where is Count Novan at the moment?" Zema came to Count Casa, and after the boulder was sure that the person in front of him was Count Casa, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and asked.
"The mine has encountered a strong enemy. However, after some fierce fighting, the enemy has retreated. Now the third brother is taking the magicians and knights over there to sort out the military affairs, and I have an urgent matter to deal with when I come back!" said the Count of Casa, and pointed to the king of the hill, who was sitting on the back of his horse, and whose feet could not reach the stirrups at all. Obviously, with the size of the King of the Hill, he could not ride a war horse, and the King of the Hill rode the same war horse with a priest.
"Is this a dwarf?" Looking at the king of the hill who was short in stature but full of spirit, the boulder actually felt a strong sense of danger on the little man in front of him!
"I'm not one of those weak gnomes, I'm a dwarf, the king of the dwarves, Magni Copperbeard!" said the King of the Hill as he jumped off his horse, blowing his beard and glaring.
"Then the King of the Dwarves, do you have anything important to do here?" subconsciously clenched the saber at his waist, and the Berserker Boulder asked as he looked down at the dwarf who was only chest tall. For some reason, Berserker Boulder felt an increasingly strong sense of danger. However, Berserker Boulder didn't know where this feeling of danger was coming from.
"Storm Hammer!" The hammer head in his hand suddenly flew out, and the King of the Hill never did things blindly, and directly used his powerful attack skills!
The terrifying sense of danger came from all directions almost at the same time, and the Berserker Boulder subconsciously raised the saber on his waist, and at the same time the strong fighting spirit burst out on the saber, he reached out and touched the double-edged giant axe on the horseback!
It's just that, in the next moment, a tall figure with a black cloth mask appeared out of thin air on the diagonal back side of the berserker boulder, and a knife wrapped in a strong momentum slashed at the neck of the boulder, if the head of the boulder was hit by this knife, it would not be able to be saved!
"Commander, be careful!" The elite cavalry behind the boulder exclaimed in unison, and they all drew their weapons from their saddles, and they were about to come to their aid!
Under the vital blow, the knights, whose attention was drawn to the front, were suddenly encountered by the magic dagger that struck the vital part of the neck. Under the vital blows of these magic daggers, the cavalrymen lined up in a row suddenly screamed and fell to the ground!
"Phew!" Faced with the dangerous situation of being flanked back and forth, the boulder had no choice but to withdraw the palm that was touching the double-edged giant axe, and with a roar of rage, it stimulated all the fighting qi in his body, condensing a layer of solid and substantial barriers around his body!
In the face of this incomparably strong barrier, neither the King of the Hill's Storm Hammer nor the Sword Master's Hidden Breaking Blow and Critical Strike combined could break through this barrier!
However, these three seconds of vertigo were enough!Because, just across the boulder, under the protection of the three lawbreakers, an undead banshee appeared out of thin air!
"Let life tremble in my screams!"
