Chapter Fifty-Six: We Have No Reinforcements

Fort Baron Abelon.

The baroness stood on the castle and looked at the flag of the López family from a distance, with a solemn expression.

The shiny armor of the nobility resembles a god in the sunlight.

Viscount Wilbell was at the front, followed by the seven guardian knights of his family, and then behind were the knights' respective servants and conscripted cavalry.

Dozens of horses marched neatly on the late autumn meadows towards the Baron of Alberton.

Above the city walls.

The Baroness asked Lord Deli, who was beside her, with the same solemn face, "Lord Deli, how long can we hold out?" ”

Lord Deli did not directly answer the Baroness's words, turned to the knight behind him and asked, "When will the soldiers sent to Luntunburg be able to send back the news?" ”

"It's the fourth day, and I guess it's going to take some time......," the knight said back, his voice getting quieter and quieter.

"What about Earl Adelson? His castle is only three days away, have the carrier pigeons returned? Lord Deli asked again.

“……”

No one answered him.

Earl Adelson was a military Earl of the Realm, and he was once a brother to Baron Albert. Although Alberon is old and obese, the relationship between the two has not weakened by half a point.

The Count of the Territory is the owner of a castle, but he is not the owner of the territory. He was responsible for defending the city, but all the proceeds of the land belonged to the army. And the Earl of the Territory is just a general with an empty title.

Count Adelson has a knightly order under his command. The number of people is more than a hundred. Lord Deley once had the privilege of following Baron Abelon to the castle of Rebes. The galloping horses and the trembling momentum of the earth are really exciting.

Lord Deley didn't expect Adelson to eliminate the threat for the barony, but to contain it, at least to keep him from attacking the city with all his might.

Looking at the army of Viscount López, which was getting closer and closer, Lord Deli's proud heart was hit again.

Five hundred well-trained soldiers marched in order, three hundred small round shields with weighted weights and a hundred large iron shields, and in the middle were a hundred spearmen armed with iron spears.

"Nope." Lord Deli shouted in his heart.

Is Viscount López really favored by the heavens? An army of this size is he a viscount able to recruit code? Doesn't the Viscount of López need to be defended? Someone must be behind it.

Lord Deli firmly believes.

Even though the facts were in front of him, Lord Deley still refused to believe it.

At this scale, there was no one in the entire aristocratic realm west of Luntunburg who was stronger than him.

In half an hour, López was already preparing for the siege.

A soldier of a squadron of 100 people walked out of the ranks.

They had a Germanic one-handed sword in one hand and a Germanic heavy shield in the other. Walk in a neat procession and meet the arrows that are shot from the castle one after another.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

With a drizzling feeling, the soldiers attacked the castle unscathed.

The improvised ladder was erected, and the knights of the castle seized the opportunity to shoot a deadly arrow at a flawed López soldier.

Flutter ......

The soldier fell.

"Watch out for arrows. Be careful with bows and arrows. ”

A sergeant major was directing the soldiers to attack the city, and his heart ached as he watched the soldiers he had personally trained fall in front of his eyes. But...... This is war.

A person's carelessness will only cost his own life, and if he is not careful as a sergeant major, it is possible that this team will be gone.

He can't be taken lightly.

Pull two soldiers from the side and let them stare at the cold arrows around them for themselves. He continued to direct the soldiers to siege the city.

"Go up, go up! Quick, get on it. Climb up. ”

"Raise the shield and protect the vital points of the body, mainly the head, damn it, you stupid."

The sergeant major saw an arrow stuck in a soldier's head and cursed.

Two more soldiers left this world forever.

Although the knights' archery skills are not as accurate as those of professional archers, from top to bottom, within ten meters, the use of crossbow machines can still accurately take the lives of one enemy soldier after another.

After five days and three battles, there were not many arrows left in the Baron's castle. The war crossbow is depleted of arrows, and the rest is a loose hunting crossbow that shoots crossbows that can only kill a few small animals.

"Quick, they're running out of crossbow arrows. Rush up. A soldier's head is exchanged for a silver moon. The knight in the rear of the siege force stood on his horse, and shot an arrow at the militia on the castle with his longbow in his hand.

The militia fell from the castle and landed on the ground with two enemy soldiers who were climbing.

On the castle, there was a commotion......

"Get out of the way, get out of the way. Rolling oil... Boiling Oil ......"

The defenders of the castle finally boiled a pot of boiling oil and poured it down from the city gates.

The López army, which was enjoying the thrill of siege below, had no time to dodge, and dozens of soldiers were drenched and miserable.

Then, the soldiers, who had no time to retreat, watched as a torch fell from the sky.

Rumble!

I saw that the fire oil was ignited in an instant, and the lawn around dozens of meters was on fire.

Under the castle, López's soldiers rolled and screamed on the ground. The soldiers who were standing took off their clothes to help extinguish the flames.

"Ahh Hurry, hurry. ”

"Ah...... It's hot, it's hot. ”

"Save me, save me......"

"Don't go, don't go. Help me, help me! ”

The soldiers watched in despair as the siege party began to retreat.

10 meters ......

Twenty meters ......

Fifty meters......

100 meters......

In the distance, Viscount López looked at the outside of the castle in a mess, and faintly told the knight behind him, "That's it for today." Then he left the house.

In the castle.

Lord Deli looked at the retreating López army and walked down the castle, leaving the two knights to clean up the break in the castle.

Lord Deli entered the castle and asked the maid to bring in the baroness.

The baroness came in one after another, and the aura of the noblewoman did not disappear at all because of the tense atmosphere of the battlefield.

Both sides sit down in order. "Lord Deley." The Baroness paused and said, "We... There are no more reinforcements. ”

The two sat opposite each other and did not speak for a long time.

"Are there no reinforcements? Isn't Earl Adelson willing to send reinforcements? He and Baron Aberon are brothers in life and death. Lord Deli couldn't believe it.

"If it had been before, maybe he would have sent troops, but ...... Just now, just now, Baron Albert he... He's dead. Finally, the baroness could not hide her grief and cried out loud.

"How is that possible? How can it be? I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Lord Deli knelt on the ground, he could not believe that the baron, whom he had followed for more than twenty years, was dead at this time.
