Chapter 267: Destruction Begins

Inside the fortress castle, Petrov rolled out of bed with his eyes open, looking at the familiar surroundings and trying to remember what had happened.

"Boom! Rumble! With the sound of artillery outside, Petrolev instantly sobered up, picked up the big sword placed next to him and rushed out of the door.

The moment the door opened, he was stunned, and the women and children all over the corridor looked at him with frightened eyes, and the movement of pushing the door just now frightened them.

"Your Lord, you're finally awake! Mistress Gila said that if you wake up, you should go to the walls immediately. Behind the door, a tired soldier came out and said excitedly.

When the people in the aisle saw that it was Petrov, they all stood up, leaned against the wall to make way of the passage, and greeted him softly.

Petrolev lost his mind and immediately nodded in reply and ran out quickly, from his residence to the city walls, the inhabitants of the city could be seen quietly gathered together, with fear and hope in their eyes.

"Jira!! Do you know what it is to attack a lord?!! When Petrolev walked up to the city wall, he saw Gila in command at first glance, so he rushed up and asked angrily.

"Great, sir! You're awake! Pour some water for the adults. Gila, who was full of sorrow, stretched out when she heard Petrov's voice, and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to pour water.

Petrolev wanted to refuse, but found that he was really thirsty, so he took the container and drank it in one gulp. "You'd better tell me some good news, or I'll kick you off here!!" Petrolev was not in a hurry, because as soon as he came out of the house, he found that the siege had been temporarily stopped, and the sound of artillery, although heard from time to time, did not look like it was attacking the enemy.

"My lord! The enemy has suspended the siege and given us a breather, artillery is bombarding the houses around us in order to create more obstacles, now there are 40,000 inhabitants and more than 30,000 soldiers in the fortified area, and less than 10,000 can be armed, food supplies are difficult, and the soup for dinner has begun to contain sand, hoping that we can wait for the arrival of reinforcements. Jira quickly explained the current situation.

Petrov took his eagle glasses and looked out of the city walls, he was devastated, the only street leading to the fortress was long gone, the surrounding buildings were basically destroyed, the enemy was all stationed at the entrance to the outer city wall, and Petrov also saw a large number of giant bear corpses.

"What about the casualties of the Berserk Knights?"

"Uh...... Adult ......"

"What else can't be said now?"

"There are three hundred knights left in the Berserk Knights...... "Gila replied in a low voice like a child who had done something wrong.

Petrolev was silent for a while, but the anger in his heart could be seen in his hands clenching the eagle glasses. The Berserk Knights were his last cards, whether it was to meet reinforcements or defend against enemy forces, they were the key, but now there were only 300 left.

"Mammoth? Where is it? Why not in town? Petrolev immediately thought of this enemy's great killing weapon, and only they could inflict such heavy damage on the Berserk Knights at once.

"The War Mammoth retreated after we all entered the fortress, and it was not it that caused heavy casualties to the Berserk Knights, but a group of enemies who were 100% covered in armor, and they entered the city with the Mammoth, and the Berserk Knights were no match for them......" Jira felt a little frightened when he thought of the scene before entering the fortress, if there were only a few of them, he might not have paid attention to them at all, but it was a formed heavy armored unit, and the Giant Bear Knights did not have the slightest power to fight back under their attack, although they could also cause them damageBut only after the charge.

"Why did the enemy abandon the siege?" Petrolev heard the fear from Jira's mouth, and with the strength of the enemy, there was no need to stop, and those tattered obstacles could not be stopped even by ordinary marauders, let alone other elite soldiers.

"Maybe it's because there are no siege equipment." Gila himself did not believe this, but the enemy knew even the secret passages, and it was impossible not to know that the Slughof fortress had two walls.

"Woo woo woo ~ "

Just as Petrolev was about to criticize Jira, the muffled sound of the horn sounded again.

"Quick! Alert!! When Jira heard this voice, he subconsciously commanded loudly, and every time this horn sounded, the enemy would switch tactics, which was unpredictable.

Even if no one gave the order, the soldiers would have prepared as quickly as possible, and this time the trumpets were continuous, low and depressing, and Petrolev had a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, the heavily armored soldiers who had previously exited the city once again lined up and walked in in neat steps, and in addition to that, there was another person that Petrolev was extremely familiar with, the wanderer Ufrik!

"As soon as they get into the range of the artillery, they can fire directly without an order !! Ranged troops, watch out for the sky!! Only then did Petrolev remember how the manticores in the sky were gone.

"My lord! Look! They're ...... Like we bow down?? Jira said with a look of incredulity.

After hearing this, Petrov hurriedly raised his eagle glasses and looked over, only to see that this Ulfrik had really led all the marauders to kneel on the ground, muttering words in his mouth, and bowing as he spoke.

Just when everyone was puzzled, countless muffled thunder sounds were heard outside the city, and the sky over the city was dyed red in a moment.

"Shelling!!" After the sentry's sharp warning, the entire fortress shook violently to the incessant sound of explosions. As soon as one round of artillery fell, the second round appeared in the sky.

The cannonballs mercilessly fell through the walls into the fortress, and the bones of countless residents and soldiers were left in the explosion, and for a moment, the entire fortress was filled with cries.

"Fight back! Fight back!! Gila fell to the ground in excitement and shouted loudly, and the cannons on the city walls responded, but the cannonballs fired by the old cannon flew to the entrance of the street and fell unwillingly, let alone outside the city, not even the marauders who knelt down at the gates of the city could not be hurt.

"Why? Why? Why do they have imperial artillery? Jira shouted with a full face, but when he saw Petrov, he immediately deflated the words that followed,

Petrolev seemed to have thought of something, and said with a frightened face, "No...... This is not the artillery of the Empire, this is Chaos...... Chaos' Hell Cannon...... They didn't siege cities to take them...... It's about bringing us together! ”

Petrov's words exploded in Gira's ears like thunder, and all the previous doubts were solved in this instant. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
