Chapter 747: The Power of the Knight's Country
King Leonac was followed by a group of lords, all dressed in ornate armor, and appeared on the city walls.
King Leonac held the battlements by his hand and began to look down.
When he saw that the Norweed people were jumping up and down to prepare for the siege, great doubts appeared in his mind.
"Norvidians?" King Leonac was shocked to find that these strong-looking, tall soldiers were not the Norvidians they had perished.
He was quite impressed by the Norwidian people, and the original northern holy war broke out because of the conflict between the Norwid barbarians and the kingdom of Astra.
Therefore, he also had some knowledge of the appearance and culture of the Norwedians, and after seeing the enemy below, he immediately felt that it was a Norwidian.
And his lords also found out about this problem, and they began to talk about it, after all, the Norvids had been defeated, and even their kingdom had been divided among the Holy Cult countries.
No one knows exactly why, there is still such a large group of barbarians.
However, when they saw the full strength of the Norvids, they no longer had the previous tension, but the army of more than 50,000 people could be an invincible behemoth for other Holy Cult nations.
But for the kingdom of Astra, there are not very many enemies, if they are desperately mobilized, they can even burst out tens of thousands of knights, after all, the knight's land is not built.
In the current Cargallon City alone, in addition to the Holy Grail Knights, counting the knights of the lords, there are three or four thousand knights in Lin Lin in total.
Even if there is a real fight, even if it is a field battle instead of defending the city, they are not afraid of which Norwids.
Hopefully, when all the armies of the Norwid Empire arrive, these lords will be able to think so.
Without any hesitation, the Norwids beneath the castle began to besiege the city, their engineering equipment was quite rudimentary, with only a few hundred long ladders, which reached the top of the city walls and began to climb up.
The lords were slightly surprised by their siege methods, and after watching the battle for a while, they walked down the walls, not believing that the Norweeds, who did not even have a well, could climb the walls with the help of ladders.
Actually, it's not to blame these Norwids, everyone is a born warrior, and no one wants to be a construction worker or a slave.
In addition, they advocate field warfare and attack, so the castle is just a tool that prevents the enemy from sneaking attack, and it is not like the Holy Cult World, which regards the castle as the basis of rule.
Therefore, the walls of the Norweed Empire are very simple, and the walls are poor, which makes the siege equipment and siege tactics unable to become more sophisticated.
That's why they couldn't master the siege.
Large stones and logs were thrown down the ladder by the soldiers, and often each stone or log caused huge casualties to the enemy, making it difficult for them to continue climbing.
The battle had been going on for more than half an hour now, and not even a single person had been able to touch the city walls.
No matter how brave and brave these Norweed warriors were, they could not be displayed until they had climbed the walls.
The five clan leaders below frowned and looked at this scene, they didn't expect that the usual invincible method would lose its effect at this moment.
The enemy held back their wolf-like warriors with only a few stones and wood.
"Withdraw! Withdraw quickly! ”
Several tribal leaders hurriedly gave the order to retreat, and their tribes, although strong, were not strong enough to ignore casualties, which even Emperor Porioye could not do.
These more than 50,000 young men are already most of their tribe's labor force and combat strength, and they brought them here in order to make a fortune, they don't want to lose too much here, otherwise their tribe will definitely be greatly affected.
So far, each of them has lost two or three hundred people, and they cherish every warrior and labor force due to their sparse population, which is already a big loss for their tribe.
The Norweed warriors who were climbing the city wall in front of them were quickly ripped off the city wall after receiving the order to retreat.
Stone and wood blocks could not hurt the enemy, and the archers on the walls also shot the enemy with their recurve compound bows that had been exchanged with the Kingdom of Lorik.
During the retreat alone, the Norvid warriors fell again by hundreds of men.
"It's unbelievable, the enemy has such a powerful force, to be honest, I never thought there would be such a tall wall in the world before I came here!"
One of the clan leaders said to the other four.
"yes, it's unbelievable that we didn't even climb the walls after paying so many casualties!"
One person also interjected, and only one person expressed his opinion: "I think we should report to Your Majesty immediately, and it is not our fault that we can't conquer this place, but we can't climb such a tall city wall at all!" ”
After exchanging opinions, it was decided to halt the attack for the time being, report the situation to Emperor Porioje, and ask for more troops.
The defenders on the walls cheered after the retreat of the enemy, and although the battle was not very difficult, the victory was always a joy.
The lords and King Leonac who heard the cheers were also relieved in their hearts, in their opinion, these dead people were nothing more than the Norwidian who had been hiding in the first place, and had only come to take revenge on themselves and the others until now.
In their eyes, the Norvids were of course not taken seriously by them, and seemed to have become enemies that could be defeated with a single charge.
Of course, they did have the confidence to do so, and the appearance of a Norvidian of this size in any Holy Religious country except for a few powerful countries would be an inevitable catastrophe.
But in front of the Astra Kingdom, they still can't set off the wind and waves, and they can't touch the city walls with such an attack, and even ordinary soldiers don't make a move, let alone the more powerful Grail Guardians and the Grail Knights, this is where the confidence of the Astra Kingdom, which is the hometown of knights.
This is not all the power of the Astra Kingdom, if they are really ruthless, they can still mobilize the wandering knights and explode tens of thousands of knights, such combat power is not something that anyone can have.
Emperor Porioye, who got the news, waved the letter in his hand like a thunderbolt, and he could not bear the setback he suffered in his first battle here.
The resistance of the kingdom of Astra was beyond his expectations, and within his expectations, 50,000 Norvid warriors would be enough to sweep through this "weak" country.
However, this also made him realize that not all countries on the Holy Sect Continent are weak, and there are also powerful countries that can make them suffer.
