Chapter 85: The Bloody Battle (1)
Seth Guard Tower Camp.
At this time, the Seth Guard Tower was no longer the deserted and abandoned camp it used to be.
On the outskirts of the camp, Rhodes ordered Greyfang to build rows of towering walls out of "mud to stone", a wide and powerful man-made barrier that completely enveloped Seth Tower.
This kind of wall is not as simple as it seems.
Rhodes first asked Jon to lead the men to cut down all the trees in the open field ahead, and the stout logs were driven into the ground, built into a simple wooden fence, covered with a layer of mud, and finally built an impregnable wall by the gray fangs to "turn mud into stone".
Behind the wall, there are simple arrow towers, built by virtue of the momentum of the wall, continuous and open, which can completely deploy hundreds of people to shoot at the same time.
And that's not all.
Originally, the Seth Guard Tower was overhauled by the Iron Sword Regiment, and Rhodes added another layer of wall to the original one, separated by a blank arrow tower separation zone.
This was remodeled in reference to the "Urn Castle" that the Oriental Castle likes to build.
Moreover, Rhodes also had the surrounding jungle burned to the ground with a fire, and if the enemy tried to attack, the open field ahead was enough to make the enemy pay enough price.
Inside the camp.
Rhodes was carefully examining the quiet sleeping Scarlet, her face as delicate as a porcelain doll was becoming more and more beautiful, three days had passed, the little girl was not surprised, today was the day of her awakening.
In the face of an inexplicable Pachouli, Rod did not dare to take it lightly, and he checked his body at least three times a day.
"Your Excellency!"
At this moment, a scout from the arrow tower hurried over, and he bowed respectfully and said, "A group of unknown armed men have been found outside, and they have sent someone to call out to us and ask to see you!" ”
"Want to see me? Do you know where they come from? Rod looked stunned for a moment, and then, his eyes were solemn, and he asked the minion in a deep voice.
"I don't know, but it's a lot!"
The scout responded, and Rod's face turned gloomy and he headed outside.
As he walked up the outer wall, he happened to see a group of cavalry in armor galloping from the open field, kicking up puffs of smoke and dust in the autumn wind.
"Stomp!"
The horses under their crotches marched almost in unison, and the armor of the horses on the horses made a rapid sound of metal rubbing.
Seeing this uniform pace, Rhodes raised his eyebrows, this group of cavalry was obviously extraordinary.
Iron hooves are intimidating, and the banner hunts.
In the midst of the cavalry, a banner embroidered with blood-colored cross symbols fluttered in the wind, without any noble symbols and ornaments, and it was clear that this was not an army to which the nobility belonged.
"It's the Blood Killing Bounty Regiment!"
The monkeys who hurried over on the side couldn't help but whisper solemnly when they saw this flag.
"Blood Bounty Regiment?" Rod asked.
"My lord, this bounty group is not composed of ordinary bounty hunters, their system and fighting methods are all carried out in the form of an army. This group of people has an amazing record and has appeared many times in armed disputes in other regions! ”
"In some circles, it is rumored that they are not a mercenary organization that simply sells force! This is the private army of a certain nobleman! ”
The monkey's face changed, and he whispered respectfully to Rod, his solemn face and his tone of surprise indicating his inner uneasiness.
Rod narrowed his eyes slightly.
Bounty group?
He hadn't been in contact with this kind of organization before, for example, the more famous [Golden Regiment] in the south was this kind of violent organization that sold force.
"Is it the Viscount Winton's follow-up?" He was suspicious.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves became heavier and heavier, muffled like thunder, and the open land of several hundred meters was fleeting, and these cavalry horses were tall, all carrying sharp and heavy swords in their hands, and when they galloped side by side, the momentum was extraordinary.
"Zhang Gong!"
On the arrow tower near Rhodes, Jon's furious roar was heard, and strong bows were pulled apart, and sharp arrows flashed black light and stretched out their heads, and from a distance, the cold light behind the wall was dazzling.
Click! Click!
At the same time, a series of mechanical crossbows were bitten and wound, and the winches of the crossbows were tightly tightened, and triangular arrows could be seen inserting into the sleek crossbow body.
These intricate and intricate crossbows are all made by Taneba, and their composite structure reduces some complicated accessories, making them much lighter, while the delicate parts do not detract from their power, and with this three-edged arrow cluster, as long as the distance is close enough, even heavy armor can pierce it.
The strong crossbow is wound, and the war horse is stunned.
These cavalry slowly spread out in a fan shape, and soon formed a straight formation.
At the front, a sturdy and broad man in black armor stepped out of the crowd, he did not wear a helmet, his expression was arrogant, and he shouted loudly to the wall: "I am the Bloody Slaughter Regiment's Keli, let your leader come to see me!" ”
Rod pestle his long sword without making a sound, and motioned to the monkey next to him to speak.
"Guys of the Bloodslaughter Regiment! What are you here for today?! The monkey replied in a loud voice.
"Hey! Is this your leader? The corners of Keli's mouth showed a trace of disdain, and he said arrogantly: "Why do you look like a monkey, it's really a bunch of garbage, tell you, this camp, our blood killing group is going to be!" If you know each other, you will immediately get out of the camp, and the masters may be happy to let you go! ”
Rod's face sank.
This Keli's eyesight is amazing, and the distance between the two sides is at least 100 meters, and he can actually see the appearance of the monkey clearly.
But this arrogant posture is really unpleasant.
As Clery's words spoke.
The atmosphere in front of the entire wall was oppressive and terrible, the bleak autumn wind carried some chills, and the cold arrows became more and more piercing.
"Kill them!"
Rod spit out a sentence coldly, and at the same time, a strong bow that grabbed the archer next to him, stretched his bow and set up his arrows, and without any hesitation, flew directly towards Keli's head with an explosive cluster of arrows.
If this arrow hits, the arrogant head will immediately explode like a watermelon.
Clang!
That Keli was also a good hand, and I saw him draw a heavy sword on his horseback, and slash at the arrow with a heavy and thick heavy sword, and the fierce metal sparks rubbed out, and the arrow was actually chopped out by him.
"So, what are you waiting for? Offensive! Keli's eyes showed a fierce light, his face was fierce and gloomy, and he shouted.
There was a rumbling sound, and the horses in battle armor began to rush, and a dozen knights in heavy armor and heavy shields took the lead in the charge, and the rows of knights behind them drew their knightly spears, and the cold metallic luster made them look like nightmare knights.
The horse's hooves flew, the ground trembled slightly, and the men wore helmets on their heads, their masks fell, and only a pair of cold eyes remained.
"Shoot!"
Jon roared.
Collapse! Collapse! Collapse!
The dull and rapid sound of bowstrings sounded, and there was a tearing sound in the air, like a storm, and dense clusters of arrows with phantom shadows shot at the charging knights.
