"What's wrong with Melinda?" In the longhouse where the slaves were held, Martin walked to the window with his leg cuffs and bracelets, and when he saw Melina's panicked figure, he hurriedly asked.

"The Slavs have broken down the gates of the Count's Castle, they are rushing in and burning everywhere, I have hit the man who took the key, let's run away now." Melina's little face turned pale, and she reached out and took out a string of jingling keys, these were the keys to the slaves' shackles and hand chains, and at the beginning of the battle, Arold imprisoned these strong male slaves, he didn't want to have a slave revolt in the middle of the battle, but the reality was that the cruel Slavs' terrible "dragon's blood" secret medicine broke Arold's impregnable city gates, and when Arold and his soldiers were desperately resisting the Slavs, the guards of the slaves were completely relaxed at this time.

"Martin, what are we going to do now?" As the slaves untied their chains, they asked Martin.

"Protect the archers on the walls and hold the stairs." Arold felt the sweat on his body dry and wet, wet and dry, and he kept roaring and giving orders, his eyes staring at the movement of the enemy under the city walls, and at this time the main building of the castle, the Saxon House, the door was closed, and the arrows and crossbows that were constantly fired from the window proved that the Saxon House was still in the hands of Arold's men at this time.

The death of the chief of Upton had given the Swiss back their courage, and it seemed that the demon-like man could still be killed, and the Swiss were no mercy when it came to dealing with humans, and they were in a group of each other, with spears against the spears of the Slavs, in the castle's blacksmith's shop. In the longhouse, Arold's soldiers engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Slavs, and when the weapons of both sides fell, the hands, teeth, and bodies became the most primitive weapons of the people, and the straw and mud were all over the people's bodies, and if it were not for Arold's strict prohibition of open defecation, I am afraid that the people's bodies would have to stick to their bodies.

"Lord Count, we have too few men, and although the soldiers fought bravely, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the attack of the Slavs." Julian gave up the Whirlwind Cannon. Joined the battle to defend the city walls. At this time, the area around the whirlwind cannon also became a battlefield, Julian was worried about the safety of Arrod and led the serfs to defend the city wall, and the narrow city wall and arrow tower became a strategic point for their defense, but the Slavs did not show weakness. They covered the front of the body with shields. Forcefully shoved with the Arold soldiers on the city wall. The narrow space did not allow them to swing their spears, so they could only try their best to push their opponents off the walls, from which from time to time people fell. Screams rang out from time to time.

"I have no choice, it seems that I can only go into battle in person." Arold felt that he was exhausted, he looked around, one of the crossbows at the back of the bed crossbow also shot out, there were no soldiers to send by his side, even the miscellaneous servants who were originally responsible for carrying on the city wall had joined the battle with tools in hand, Arold drew his sword, as a decision-maker he had worked very hard to use all his wisdom, and now he was going to become a warrior to fight for his fate.

"I'm with you, Lord Earl." Julian nodded to Arrod with his sword in his hand, and followed closely by Arrod's side, who didn't say anything, just reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"For the glory of the family." Arold placed the Terminator parallel to his head, a style suitable for thrusting in tight spaces, and roared the Wendell clan's battle cry from his mouth, stabbing his sword out of the middle of the crowd, and the blade of the sword was accurately stabbed into the face of a Slav, proving that the sword and dagger were the most suitable weapons at this time, and blood splattered out, and the stabbed Slav fell from the wall without saying a word.

"Oh~~~." Suddenly, a group of slaves armed with hammers and wooden forks rushed out of the castle, and their sudden appearance made the people who were fighting in the castle stunned, because they did not know which camp these suddenly appeared belonged to.

"Slave revolt?" Julian parried the spear of the Slavs with his sword, and when he saw the slaves rushing out from under the walls, he shouted to Arold in horror that if the slaves joined the battle in this chaotic moment, the balance of victory would surely tip in that direction.

"My life is on hold, can I wear it back when I die?" Arold smiled wryly and looked at the slaves under the city walls, it seemed that his slave was mainly in revenge, and his words sounded to Julian's ears and thought that he had gone insane because of fear.

"Kill." Suddenly, the slaves raised their tools and attacked the Slavs, who were caught by surprise by the addition of a new force, the most heroic of whom was Martin, who, wielding a heavy hammer, smashed the head of a Slav who had choked John Berg by the neck.

"They actually joined us." Arold looked at the slaves who helped him in disbelief, and he thought that these slaves would be eager to cut off their own heads to relieve their hatred.

"It's all due to your kindness, Lord Count." Julian said to Arold in admiration that Arrod's method of using slaves was too merciful in the eyes of a nobleman like him, and not only were the slaves not whipped by the overseers, but they lived in the same longhouses as the other freemen, and ate the same food, and these skinned and bony slaves who were tortured when they were delivered actually produced a lot of meat during this time.

The addition of the slaves gradually tilted the balance of victory in Arold's favor, but the Slavs quickly changed their methods of warfare under the leadership of Kang Tuoyi, they no longer attacked the narrow city wall arrow tower, but began to deal with the stragglers in the castle with heavy warriors as the core, which made Arold and others very anxious, if the resistance in the castle was cleared, then the people on the city wall and in the Saxon house would be isolated, but the remaining men in Arold's hands were only enough to defend the city wall.

Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened, but neither side had the idea of stopping, one side thought that he had the chance to win, and the other side desperately resisted for his own survival, Kang Tuoyi's throat was hoarse but still encouraged the soldiers, in order to deal with the infidels in the Angry Lion Castle, he almost used all his strength, in the stubborn resistance in the Angry Lion Castle, a terrible thought couldn't help but hover in his mind.

"If I fail, I'll cause the entire county to collapse its military power." Kang Tuoyi was also tormented by this terrible thought in the battle, he looked up and saw the young earl fighting with his sword, the two staircases of the city wall were covered with the corpses of soldiers on both sides, Arrod's hands were weak with his swordsmanship and excellent chain mail, and his sown shirt was smeared with blood and could not see the colors and patterns at all.

"Kang Tuoyi~~~." Arold also saw Kang Tuoyi's gaze, and he tried to stand up straight, pointing his sword at the other party, sending a signal of challenge.

"Hmph." However, Kang Tuoyi did not accept Arrod's challenge, he felt that Arold was already meat on the chopping block, and he could not destroy the sacrifice of his teacher Upton for the sake of a momentary blood, and taking this pagan castle was his first priority.

"Boom~~~." Just as the Slavs were destroying the soldiers who were resisting in the castle, in the evening of the growing darkness, a roar sounded from outside the castle, a strange sound that an experienced warrior could discern as a herd of horses on the ground.

"Cavalry, where did the cavalry come from, I don't remember having cavalry support?" Kang Tuoyi's face changed greatly when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, he knew very well that he had not ordered the cavalry troops to come to support, and the leaders of the horses were fighting on foot here, so what was the sound?

"No, no, a group of Catholic knights are coming towards us." Some of the Slavic light infantry, who were at the entrance to the castle, ran in panic, ran through the crooked wooden door that had been knocked open, and staggered as they ran and shouted to Kang Tuoyi.

"Knights? What's going on? Kang Tuoyi's face was pale at this time, he couldn't believe the words of these Slavic light infantry, but then reality gave him a hard slap in the face, as the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, a group of knights with the blue Holy Cross coat of arms rushed onto the wooden drawbridge, slashed and dispersed the Slavic light infantry guarding the door, and then calmly rushed into the castle, these knights wore conical nose helmets, long chain mail, heraldic smocks, and horses with spears in their hands.

"Gray Law ~~~." The knights rode their horses into the Slavic crowd, picking, stabbing and pumping the Slavs with their spears, and when the spears were not enough, they gave up decisively and drew their swords at their waists to slash and slash.

"Kang Tuoyi retreats quickly, we can't win." If the Slavs were able to attack with tenacity after a day of fighting, it was because victory was so within reach, and now the addition of the hoplites completely destroyed their morale, and the Slavs were slaughtered like sheep, crying like weak babies.

The Swiss mercenaries, serfs, and slaves on Arold's side cried out with excitement, they had lost many of their companions, but now the dawn of victory shone above their heads, and the cries could no longer express the joy in their hearts, and many were weeping in pain, but these were tears of excitement.

"I thought it was too late." Arold saw the knights rushing into the castle and took off his helmet to drain the sweat from it, and he couldn't even smile with joy because he was tired.

"Lord Arrod, we have come to our aid as you have to order." One of the knights, the most well-armoured knight with a blue cloak behind him, turned his horse's head and shouted to Arrod on the wall. (To be continued......)
