"Hahaha! Ramsay! Let's get out! Blocked here, it's unpleasant to kill. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Sim slammed a spear into a gnolloin's eye, then turned his head and shouted at Solam.
The battlefield is too noisy, and if you don't rely on shouting, others won't hear it at all. They are now blocked in the arrow tower by monsters, they are a little unlucky in this part of the city wall, I don't know what's going on, many jackals have run to this side, in order to cover those recruits, Soram they have to let those recruits enter the arrow tower.
And they and some veterans blocked the two exits of the arrow tower, several people in front of them were holding large shields, and the people in the back stabbed out with spears, and the situation was stabilized for a while.
Although Sim stabbed many gnolls to death with a spear in the back, he still felt uncomfortable, and he was still used to slashing with an axe.
Soram felt that Sim's words were not wrong, and if he kept it for a long time, he would lose it, and it was not a way to keep blocking it like this.
"Okay! Just the two of us! "No way, there are too many recruits here, if they all rush out, what will happen to these recruits, Soram can only rush out with Sim and the two of them to have a look.
"Good!" Sim hurriedly took out his axe and waited for Soram's order.
"Uncle Mares! You and them guard the passage, and we will kill them! Soram reminded Maris and looked at Sim, who nodded at Soram.
When Maris heard this, she only responded loudly, and did not say much, and there was no time to discuss the situation.
"You listen to my command, I count to three, you let us out, after we rush out, you have to make up in time, don't let those things rush in." Solam called out to the soldiers in front of him with large shields.
"Understood!" These are all people from the city defense team, these people belong to the direct jurisdiction of Cruise, and Cruise is usually well trained and has good quality, if it weren't for these people, Soram and they wouldn't be able to cover so many recruits.
"Good! One! ”
As soon as the warriors with the shield heard the command, they began to resist the big shield with all their might.
"Two!"
At this time, those soldiers suddenly shrank their shields back, and the monsters on the other side suddenly lost their support, and when they fell forward, they slapped their shields forward fiercely, and when the monsters blocking the front were slapped, Solam and the others were also ready.
"Three! Rush. At this command, the soldiers in front of them raised their shields quickly dodged, and Solam and them also picked up their weapons and rushed out like tigers out of the gate.
Solam and Sim burst into the crowd with their weapons brandished, killing the monsters at the door before the soldiers behind could block the entrance. Those monsters at the front, before they could recover from the shield strike just now, were sent to the west by Solam and the two of them.
As soon as the other monsters saw that someone had finally come out, they also rushed to these two people desperately, and Solam saw that the soldiers behind him had blocked the entrance to the arrow tower with their shields, and he was also relieved, "Sim, let's rush!" ”
After saying that, without waiting for Sim's reaction, he took the lead in rushing towards the surging monsters, killed one of the gnolls who rushed to the front with a blow to the head, and then slashed horizontally with an axe with his backhand, decapitating the three goblins in front.
When Sim saw that Soram was so fierce, he couldn't hold back, raised his head to the sky and let out a loud roar, and also rushed into the group of monsters.
These two people are too ferocious, especially Solam, he is wearing legendary armor, and he doesn't care about the monster's counterattack at all, so he rushes to the place where the monsters are piled up, and the war hammer and the battle axe are constantly wielded, and everywhere they go is a mess, and those monsters who are better are all broken hands and feet, and if they are unlucky, they will die in a strange shape.
Sim is not bad, this guy is even more ferocious than Solam, he has entered a madness at the beginning, he is not afraid of pain at all, everywhere the tomahawk passes, there are corpses and broken arms, and in a moment, this guy becomes a bloody man. But there is one thing, this guy is too reckless, and he is not wearing armor, and those monsters still leave a lot of wounds on his body despite their terrible weapons.
Solam had to pay attention to his situation from time to time, and blessed him with a rejuvenation technique from time to time, for fear that he would accidentally kneel.
In this chaotic battlefield, heavy weapons are greatly advantageous, especially this group of monsters, the equipment is terrible, there is not even a piece of leather armor on the body, as long as they are hit by Solam, they are basically seriously injured.
Soon, Solam and Soram both drove down the monsters in this section of the wall, and Solam also used a few fireball spells to burn all the long ladders, so that no more monsters would climb up.
While Soram and the others were fighting, soldiers from other places also rushed over, so that the battle on the side of the arrow tower became more and more relaxed. The recruits, under the leadership of the veterans, plucked up the courage to kill them from the arrow tower. No one will miss this opportunity to beat the water dogs.
******
The battle lasted until the afternoon. Except for the chaos at the beginning, the human side had the upper hand until the siege ladders of those monsters were burned, and those monsters retreated to the roar of the ogre.
"Whew!" Solam lit a "cigar" and took a hard puff, this was his last cigar, the cigar he brought from his hometown was almost there when he entered Genting City, this one was specially kept. There is tobacco in Locketown, but it is all shredded, and you can't buy tobacco at all, so you can't roll cigars.
"A cigarette afterwards, happy like a fairy!" Soram felt that it was the right thing to keep with the cigar, and it was so refreshing to take another puff after a fierce fight.
Sim was cleaning the wounds on the side, those monsters had all kinds of weapons, all of them were dirty to death, and if they didn't clean the wounds, it would be difficult to continue to treat. Otherwise, if the wound becomes infected inside, it will be a problem.
"Immortals? What is that? Gods? ”
Solam accidentally said all the sayings of his previous life, and there is no such thing as a fairy here.
"Well, slang from my hometown."
At this time, Harris also came over, and he was now counting the casualties, and he would report to the town hall later.
"Ram, how are the losses on your side?"
Harris didn't say hello when he came, and asked them directly how the losses were.
"It seems that more than 20 people died, most of them were recruits, this group of people is simply adding to the chaos, and several veterans were dragged back by these recruits before they died." Solam really looked down on those recruits, the night before yesterday was not good, and today, as soon as there was a hand-to-hand fight, all the dishes were stopped, and it was useless at all. "I said who arranged this, so many recruits were thrown on the city wall, isn't it harmful?"
"Alas... Who else could it be, not the old men of the council, who thought that after the night before, these newcomers should be able to help, so they all threw them on the wall. Harris didn't agree with this either, but even his immediate boss couldn't stop it, and he could only complain.
"But after today's battle, the situation should be better, those recruits can learn something somewhat, and they won't be in a hurry next time." It's already like this, and Harris thinks it's better to think on the bright side, no one is born to fight, and after this time, those newcomers can grow a lot.
"Hopefully, by the way, what about today's losses?" Soram was noncommittal, instead asking about today's losses.
"Not to mention, the recruits almost lost more than 200 soldiers, and the previous city defense team and security team were a little better, and they also lost almost 100 people. This section of your wall is quite good, and the rest of the city is much more serious, if Lord Cruise had insisted that those knights and nobles' private soldiers be kept as reserves, it is estimated that monsters would have rushed into the town long ago. Harris's face was gloomy as he spoke of this.
In fact, most of these losses were caused at the beginning, and the chaos caused by those recruits caused a lot of casualties, if there were no reserves, it is estimated that the monsters would have really run into the town, and the losses caused by that time would only be greater.
"But it's not too much of a loss that we've killed several times as many monsters."
********
After the losses and gains were reported, the city hall also began urgent consultations.
"So much in one day?" One of the councillors looked at the loss report and asked in disbelief, knowing that they had only recruited more than 1,000 recruits in total, but they had lost almost a fifth of them in one day, and their pressure was not small.
"Most of these losses are caused by the chaos caused by those recruits, and it is estimated that this loss would have been even greater if it had not been for the bullet pressure of the reserves. I said a long time ago that you shouldn't transfer too many recruits to the city wall at once, but...", Cruise didn't bother to say any more, a bunch of laymen, they had to command blindly, and now retribution is coming.
Although the latter words are not spoken, they are all people who understand and know what they mean. In particular, the faces of the parliamentarians who advocated the transfer of all troops to the city wall were particularly ugly.
"Okay, now is not the time to blame anyone, Cruise, you say, what are we going to do next?" Although Count Royce is very supportive of Cruise, he cannot allow this argument to spread wildly, at least not now, otherwise, the prestige of the town hall will be affected, which will be detrimental to the next war.
"We should remove some of the recruits and rest in the city, and then mix the recruits and veterans, otherwise today's incident will still happen." Cruise quickly came up with his own plan.
"Wouldn't there be too little power on the walls then?" One of the councillors asked worriedly.
"No, the walls of our Rock Town are not long, and if there are too many people, they can only be crowded together, which is even more inefficient. In fact, about a thousand people are about the same, and half of the recruits are withdrawn first, plus the original veterans and adventurers, it is completely enough. ”
"Very good, just do as you say, as soon as possible!" Count Royce didn't ask for the opinion of the others at all this time, and directly gave the order to Cruise. However, the councillors had no opinion, firstly, the Earl of Royce had a high prestige, and secondly, the members of the opposition to the Earl of Royce, that is, those who had previously proposed that all the recruits be on the wall, were now reluctant to intervene in this regard.
"Yes!"
