Chapter Twenty-Three: The Battle of the City Wall

A day later, under Mike's almost non-stop attack, he had conquered 22 level 1 camps, 8 level 2 camps, 4 level 3 camps and 2 level 4 camps, compared to the number of bandit camps detected before the war, more than 70% of the bandits' nests had been eliminated, and the bandits on the city wall were unable to attack after paying the price of more than half of the casualties after desperately attacking for a whole day.

"My lord, the enemy is asking for negotiations." The militia who came from the front brought back a message.

"Oh? What does the other party say? Lu Cheng asked.

"The other party asks the lord to negotiate in person, and they can consider surrendering." The militia replied.

"This could be a trap!" Jona smelled the snare in it.

"It's a trap and I have to look at it, I'm curious to know what's inside this canter." Lu Cheng played with the cipher tube in his hand, it was impossible for the robbers to launch such a large-scale attack just to avenge Andrew, and it could only be for this cipher tube after thinking about it.

Lu Cheng and the accompanying Chiyan and Liya walked to the front of the confrontation between the two sides, only to see a big man standing in front of the robbers, Lu Cheng recognized him, and every time he could see this big man commanding the robbers to attack.

"Are you the lord here?" The big man asked first.

"Exactly, you're the leader of the robbers?" Lu Cheng asked rhetorically.

"I'm the leader Otis." Otis replied.

"What are you asking me to come over for? If you continue to fight, you will only be wiped out, if you know each other, you should surrender, as long as you are willing to surrender, I can spare you the death penalty. Lu Cheng unceremoniously threatened.

"Hahahaha, where do you get your confidence?" Otis laughed presumptuously.

"If you can't beat me, it won't be long before my nest will be wiped out." Lu Cheng went back directly.

"Humph! I'm afraid that you don't have this ability, and my level 5 camp defense strength is enough to deal with your sneak attack team, so I persuade you to die of this heart. Otis said confidently, in fact, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, but at this time, the momentum could not be weak, so he could only make it up.

"Then what else to say, we'll see the real chapter under our hands!" Lu Cheng didn't care whether the other party surrendered or not, and said deliberately.

"Wait, I want to ask you something." Otis interrupted.

"What's the matter?"

"Did you get the cipher holder that Andrew had with him when you defeated him?" Otis asked.

"Why should I tell you?" Lu Cheng sneered.

"Do you want to know how to open the canter?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Cheng frowned, his original purpose was to set the other party's words.

"You see, I've got the key to the canister." Otis took out a key from his arms and shook it to Lu Cheng.

"What do you want?" Lu Cheng didn't understand Otis's intention to take the initiative to take out the key.

"It's very simple, let's have a competition, if you win, I surrender and give you the key, if I win, you give me back the cipher tube, no matter what the result is, I promise not to attack you again in the future." Otis said.

"Childish, are you my three-year-old?" Lu Cheng didn't know how Otis was embarrassed to offer such a condition.

"If you don't agree, I'll destroy the key now, and you'll never want to know the secret." Otis threatened.

"Secret? What secrets can there be? Lu Cheng deliberately pretended not to care.

"Humph! It's a secret that the Pirate Kings of the North want to know. Otis was a little anxious, he clearly wanted to fight with Lu Cheng, but in fact, his plan was to raid Lu Cheng and withdraw to his lair as soon as he got the cipher barrel and wait for the Pirate King's men to land. But Lu Cheng had been standing behind the crowd and talking to him from a distance, he had no intention of taking the bait, he began to be anxious in his heart, if this deception was not successful, there would be no chance in the future.

Lu Cheng's heart tightened, he didn't expect that the cipher cylinder could also involve the Northern Pirate King, although he didn't know what the Northern Pirate King was from, but this name can explain the strength of the opponent, if it is really the Pirate King, it is impossible for the current village to compete with it, thinking about this is also quite, and the small one jumped out of the old one, endlessly.

"Hehe, Otis is it, it seems that you are at least a fourth-order warrior, why are you embarrassed to invite our lords who are less than the first order? If you're really interested, I can play with you for you, you see? Chi Yan, who was guarding Lu Cheng's side, suddenly said.

"Red Flame, what are you?" Lu Cheng looked at Chi Yan in surprise, because of the problem of loyalty, Lu Cheng couldn't inquire about Chi Yan's situation, but the other party was a high-level warrior, Chi Yan couldn't be considered a burly body, but could he be an opponent?

"It's okay, I'm a Rank 6 warrior." Chi Yan squeezed his eyes and whispered playfully.

"it!" Lu Cheng was dumbfounded.

"You? A female streamer? I advise you to go home and take the children, haha. Otis and the robbers behind him laughed maniacally.

"Hehe, I'm afraid you're not as good as a little girl." Red Flame slammed his spear to the ground, and the city walls shook with such force that they shook.

The robbers' laughter stopped abruptly, and they looked at each other in fright by the amazing power of the red flame, even Andrew and Otis had never exerted such a huge power, could it be that the seemingly weaker woman in front of her was stronger than the strength of Andrew and Otis?

"Humph! It's a bit capable, but ......" Otis frowned, Red Flame's threatening blow still put a lot of pressure on him, and he was a little unsure of Red Flame's strength, so he decided to strike first.

"Huh~"

Otis suddenly burst into trouble, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed forward and stabbed at Red Flame, Red Flame's weapon is a spear, and it is not as strong as a knife in suddenness, Otis used all his strength to raid Red Flame, trying to hit and even kill the opponent.

"Hehe, it's really a robber, and he doesn't follow the rules when he does things." Chi Yan did not panic, and turned to one side slightly, holding a spear in his right hand and stabbing obliquely, and the tip of the spear accurately blocked in front of Otis.

While~

Otis hurriedly changed the slash to block, and was able to block the spear's thrust.

Call~

Red Flame grabbed the spear between her body and arms and swept it fiercely. Otis hurriedly blocked the knife in front of his chest, took a heavy blow, and took a few steps backwards before unloading the impact. At this time, Red Flame's spear stabbed again, and Otis could only continue to block.

Red Flame and Otis took more than a dozen moves in just a few breaths, except for the first blow was Otis's main attack, and then it has always been Red Flame attacking Otis in the dead defense, and as Red Flame's offensive is getting more and more fierce, Otis's resistance is becoming more and more difficult, after a fierce fight, Otis who is sweating profusely has been injured in several places, on the other hand, Red Flame, his breathing is not chaotic, not even a drop of sweat comes out, who is strong and who is weak at a glance.

Bang~

Otis was once again beaten back a few steps by the Red Flame.

"What else to see! Come with me! Otis turned back and shouted to the robbers who were still watching the battle.

"Hehe, sure enough, if you go alone, you're going to be beaten in a group." Red Flame scoffed.

The robbers were stunned and then pulled out their weapons and rushed up, Red Flame took a few steps back and stood in a row with the militia, Liya immediately summoned a wall of fire to block the path of the robbers' attack, and the robbers who knew the power of the wall of fire immediately stopped in front of the wall of fire, and then rushed to the militia that had organized a defensive formation after the wall of fire subsided.

The militia has a great advantage in weaponry, and the robbers are generally armed with iron or even worse weapons, and the robbers can only use more lives to pile up in battle, often paying many casualties to replace a militiaman. At this time, when Chiyan and Ria both joined the battle, the bandits' onslaught was more like sending them to death, and nearly a hundred bandits died in a few minutes, while the militia only paid the price of more than a dozen casualties.

Lu Cheng observed the battle situation for a while, on the whole, there was no danger or danger, the robbers were just struggling senselessly, the space on the city wall was limited, and the robbers' numerical advantage could not be brought into play, and they could only maintain the battle line by fighting huge casualties.

"No, it's clear that there is no hope of breaking through, why are the robbers holding on to it?" Ria muttered as she cast her magic.

Being reminded by Liya like this, Lu Cheng also felt that the situation was a little wrong, according to the usual practice, it was impossible for the bandits to break through the defense of the militia, and continuing to consume would only increase the casualties, but now the robbers seemed to be desperate to break through the militia's defensive formation, and the price paid was already very heavy.

"Death!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout, a group of enemies who were stronger than ordinary robbers rushed out to surround Chiyan, and all kinds of weapons attacked Chiyan fiercely, because the militia next to him was killed by the bandits' surprise attack and the lone Chiyan was not afraid, and blocked the siege of dozens of weapons under the dance of the spear, and a fierce counterattack from time to time can kill a robber.

Just when Lu Cheng was worried about the safety of Chiyan, Otis suddenly rushed out of the bandit formation, aiming directly at Lu Cheng, and Chiyan was besieged by many bandits at this time, and several militiamen tried to block Otis, but the combat effectiveness of Otis above the 4th order was extremely strong, and in just a few breaths, all the militiamen who blocked it were stabbed and fell.

"Lord be careful!" Leah hurriedly reminded.

Noticing that Otis was aiming for himself, Lu Cheng hurriedly pulled out the perfect dwarf steel sword made by Red Flame, and Lu Cheng was more than a step above Otis in terms of weapons and equipment, which was also where Lu Cheng's little confidence lies.

"Hmph, boy, don't hurry up and hand over the cipher canister, if you dare to resist, I don't mind looking for it from you after cutting off your head!" Otis did not forget to threaten Lu Cheng.

"Ice Arrow!"

Leah was the first to attack, and an ice arrow struck Otis in the chest.

Otis pulled a bandit minion in front of him, and the bandit minion watched in horror as the ice arrow pierced his chest, and after a few struggles, he collapsed and completely lost his life.

Lu Cheng was taken aback by Otis's cold-blooded and ruthless behavior, and even his own people casually used it as a shield, which showed the ferocity of the other party.

"Charge me, destroy the magician!" Otis kicks the stunned bandit minions around him, forcing them to launch a death charge at Leah to buy time for his actions.

"Boy, I've decided it's better to find it from your corpse," Otis smirked and ran towards Lu Cheng, a heavy sword slashing at Lu Cheng.
