"Frey concentrated most of his forces in the two castles to the southwest and northwest facing us, numbering more than 1,000 men." Joshua, who had returned from Freiburg as an emissary, instructed the troops on the sand table, "The walls and towers are very good, the moat is very deep, and it will be very difficult to storm it. ”

"What about the main castle in the center?" Xia Boyang asked.

"As far as I've observed, Frey's family guards and vassal knights are stationed there, about 100 people, well-armed, but I don't see any particularly powerful people." Joshua said, "Maybe Frey didn't think anyone was going to be able to attack there suddenly, so he didn't put too many troops in place. ”

"I like his confidence." Xiao Yan smiled, "Then let's act according to the original plan." We unfold at dawn. The main force is under the command of Lord Xia Boyang. ”

"No problem." Xia Boyang nodded.

"By the way, Frey, didn't he offer any reasonable terms? What exactly did you talk about? Sonia asked curiously.

"Hmm~" Joshua hesitantly avoided the girl's gaze and glanced at the heroic Xia Boyang again, "Miss Earl won't want to know." ”

……

August 26, 1072 at 4 a.m.

Dawn is the time when the night watchmen are most sleepy and slack. But this time is also best for raids.

After causing confusion to the enemy, the raiders will be echoed and supported by a frontal army at sunrise in the near future, and will not need to hold out for too long.

Xiao Yan, Galadia and Valkyrie, the strongest combat force of the Tianwen team, and more than 100 rangers in leather armor rode rafts from upstream and approached the main castle of the Twin River City Bridge in the dark night.

Before the two Frey Family Guard soldiers could see the raft, they were sniped by Galadia and died silently on the tower's watchtower.

"After fixing the raft. Assault the Lord's Mansion as fast as possible, even if you don't capture Frey, capture the castle and hold out until the main force arrives. Xiao Yan and Valkyrie made a plan.

"No problem, look at me!" Such covert operations are best suited for Valkyrie. The red-haired female warrior leaped lightly from the raft onto the stone bridge, brandishing her red and blue swords and lunging at the guards with lightning speed, killing an entire group of people before the patrolling guards could spot it.

"That's it!" Valkyrie beckoned down from the bridge. Xiao Yan and the others quickly climbed up.

Xiao Yan and the others swept away the guards on duty at night like a hurricane, and went straight to the bedrooms of the lords and guards. The few vassal knights were killed while they were still asleep.

"Boom!" The heavy door was kicked open, and Xiao Yan took the lead and rushed in.

"It's a pity~" Galadia shrugged as she followed behind, "How did you know about our plan?" Where is Earl Frey? ”

Standing in front of them were five red-robed mages of the Cult of Destruction, who ignored the warriors who rushed in and continued to concentrate on a magic circle.

"Kill them!" Xiao Yan roared angrily and threw out the iron throwing spear, and the mage led by him flew upside down on the spot, firmly nailed to the wall like a butterfly in a herbarium book.

Galadia's longbow flashed with two arcane radiances, killing two in an instant. Valkyrie kicked one over and pinned the other to the ground with his sword piercing the shoulder blade.

"Where's Frey?"

"Haha, hahaha!" The cultist of the God of Destruction showed a distorted and ugly face, "The master has long expected your carving insect skills. Lord Frey is in the West Castle, with 1,500 of his own elite soldiers. ”

"And you, soon, will be destroyed!"

Valkyrie suddenly arrives in extreme danger, and she slashes her sword to kill the two believers, but the smell of danger is already in the space.

A circle is coalescing.

"Stand back!" Galadia reminded the two, "The circle is ready, and it will trigger as soon as all five of them die." ”

"Quick, lead someone to block the entrances on the east and west sides." Xiao Yan turned to the soldiers who followed him and said, "Peel off the armor from the corpse and put it on for everyone." Frey's forces are coming! ”

As soon as the words fell, the shouts of killing were already coming from both the east and west. A blood-red portal was formed in the bedroom, and the figure of a burly red giant emerged from it.

The red giant was draped in heavy armor and armed with a great axe. Its feet were like the hooves of a cow, its head was covered with huge horns, and its whole body was as red as boiling molten steel.

As soon as it appeared in the world, the portal seemed to run out of energy and disintegrated into the air.

"Demon Vanguard. Race: Demon. Attributes: Strength 80, Agility 50, Stamina 45, Perception 35, Intelligence 35, Spirit 35.

Special Skill 1: Legionnaire LV1. Health is increased by an additional 1000 points.

Special Skill 2: Bash the Earth. Slam the ground with great force and stun enemies within a 30-yard radius.

Special Skill 3: Fire Magic. Demon Vanguard's attacks will attach flames, dealing fire damage to enemies it hits; You can use fire magic below the intermediate level. ”

Xiao Yan rushed over the moment he saw the attributes, hugged the giant who was twice his height and crashed out of the bedroom window.

"Hey! Slow down......" Valkyrie wanted to stop, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yan had already fallen into the icy river with a thud with the demon vanguard.

"Is he always like that?" Valkyrie asked Galadia in surprise, "Ran away without saying a word." ”

"yes!" Galadia tilted her head, "Aren't all men like that?" ”

"It's okay, lest the giant collapse the floor or break the bridge, and it won't be easy to clean up." Valkyrie walked outside, "I'll meet Fred's army, and you'll be on the roof of the building." ”

"No problem!" Galadya deftly grasped the window edge and jumped onto the roof of the main castle with a backflip.

Xiao Yan and the Demon Vanguard fell under the tower together, and before they could stand firmly, a heavy blow was transmitted from the ground.

"Slam the earth." The demon trampled the bridge with its huge hooves, and even the rangers of the surprise force not far away were stunned.

However, the high resistance brought by Xiao Yan's physical strength quickly lifted the bad state, and the demon rushed over before he could swing his sword and slash down.

The demon's greatsword was wrapped in flames, and the blade nearly hit Xiao Yan and detonated the frost shield on his body.

"Boom!" The ice ring exploded, deflecting the demon's sword blade to one side, and Xiao Yan grabbed the gap and stabbed it with a sword.

Hanguang easily pierced the heavy armor on the demon's body, severely wounding his limbs.

"Whoa!" The Demon Pioneer's hand claws were one, and suddenly a magic circle appeared above the heads of it and Xiao Yan, and a large ball of fire meteors smashed towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan put another ice shield on himself, and shook his right hand without any scruples, choking the throat of the demon pioneer and suffocating the giant. Then he drew his sword and slashed it, and the lightning wrapped in the sword light, and with a single blow, it split its head in half.

"Is this a normal soldier template?" Xiao Yan drew his sword and swung it again, cutting off the demon's arm, "The skills of stun and burning are not bad, but if they become large, they are still quite difficult to deal with." ”

The attributes of the Demon Vanguard are quite good, and the melee range damage and strength are very oppressive; It can also use mid-tier fire magic, which adds a lot of tactical options.

However, when it was fighting Xiao Yan, it mistakenly chose a spell attack, which directly caused it to be crushed and beaten.

By the time the Demon Vanguard discovered that the magic was not working, its health had dropped to less than a third. The lightsaber is extremely sharp, and its own base damage has exceeded 100, and with the blessing of Xiao Yan's high strength, it is also very easy to cut 1450 HP Demon Vanguard.

Seeing that he was about to be killed, this demon struggled like crazy, and actually knocked Xiao Yan back a few steps. The strength of this person and one demon is not much different, and they do not give in to each other in the confrontation.

Xiao Yan skillfully dealt with the demons with all aspects of attribute suppression, and at the same time studied the skills of fighting them.

"It would be nice to have a little more medium and close-range attacks." Xiao Yan threw a spear at the moment of opening the distance, piercing the chest pain of the demon vanguard, and at the same time, he regretted that he found that he had too few long-range attack methods, wasting the bonus of his agility attribute to long-range strikes, and had to rush up to fight again after opening the distance.

Finally, the demon fell down with a howl. The flames that enveloped its body extinguished when it died, revealing its blue-black corpse.

Compared to other enemies killed by the army under their own command, the quality of the rewards dropped by the opponents they killed directly was much better. This Demon Guardian, though not particularly powerful, has a rare drop of a blue skill book.

"You have obtained the item: Intermediate Fire Spells (Consumables). Grade: Blue. Effect: After use, you will randomly gain 1~3 types of fire magic abilities below intermediate level.

Note: Fire magic will have a negative impact on the caster's already mastered ice magic, reducing the cast effect and duration of both, and it is not recommended to learn both skills at the same time.

Additional Notes: Please consult your Magical Advisor for further professional advice. ”

……

A large number of Frey soldiers rushed over with improvised battering rams.

They were clearly preparing for an attack on the main city, and in a hurry they took out a battering ram.

Xiao Yan's rangers hid behind the walls and battlements, firing deadly arrows at reinforcements. In the face of Galadia's overwhelming firepower, the Frey soldiers who rushed to the front were like harvested wheat, and a large piece fell with a hula.

To the west of the town came the clarion call for an attack. Xia Boyang began to command the army to attack the city.

3:1 superiority! What a joy to fight such a rich battle! Xia Boyang watched with satisfaction as the soldiers attacked from all directions, overwhelming the more than a thousand defenders.

Joshua wrapped his hammer in flames, clad in heavy armor, and rushed to the walls with several knights. Mel, who was growing up, hid behind and covered her companions with a bow and arrow. Hiding in the darkness, Asimin and Joshua dodge bows and arrows from the walls and climbs up with the help of a ladder.
