The jackal mercenaries gathered outside the village, eyeing the prey in front of them, but inside the village of Guruuddin there was still a peaceful day.

The surrounding villages, large and small, were swept away, and the wolves scattered everywhere to burn and loot also returned, gathering outside the village, ready to attack the fattest prey.

In the morning, the Jackals ransacked the windmill hills to the south, and the smoke rising from the territory was visible even to the inhabitants of the village of Gurudin.

Several large mills were destroyed, huge windmills were dismantled, and high-quality timber from the impellers and propeller shafts was sorted out and carried to the open space outside the village, where the jackals began to make siege ladders and rams overnight.

On this day, Mu Kai also went out early and returned late.

Under the strict supervision of Ainu, he trained for another whole day, and by the time he left the training ground, he had basically mastered the skills of using the long sword, and even by Ainu's standards, he could not find any fault.

With his powerful spiritual power, he can accurately reproduce every movement in the microcosm of perception, and even know the tense and relaxed state of a certain muscle group when exerting force, and even the conduction line of the fighting qi can be perceived in the world.

In this case, it is really not too difficult to master the basic skills of using a sword in a short period of time, although it is not to the level of mastery, but it is only a matter of time.

Three days of training were able to do this, and even those two indifferent elf masters were sideways, even the elves who were proud of their swordsmanship had never heard of such a precedent.

According to Ainu's course arrangement, the next step to learn is the use of qi, but unfortunately, the gnolls are about to attack the city, and since the war mercenary group has signed a contract, Mu Kai must participate in the battle, and the training can only be suspended.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and it's a new day.

Wash your face, brush your teeth, put on a full set of bone armor in front of the mirror, hang the sword on your belt, calmly go downstairs, eat breakfast, everything is no different as usual.

Mu Kai did not return the room of the Haiyan Hotel, he had no intention of checking out in a short time, and even negotiated with the boss about the discount for a long stay.

Although the fee is very expensive, the service is good and allows him to sleep peacefully.

As for the gold coins, now is the golden period for mercenaries to make money, and this situation will continue for a long time, as long as you can continue to improve your strength, there are many opportunities to make money.

When the seal is broken and darkness falls, survival will be the most important concern of people, and strong force is the most important foundation.

From the hotel, head south along the main road, turn right at the Orc Guild, and then past the grocery store, and in front of you is a small square where the mercenaries have set up a makeshift camp.

The small square is located in the southeast corner of the village of Gurudin, close to the city wall, if a war breaks out, the mercenaries can immediately climb the city wall to fight, and the main force of the jackal soldiers is also concentrated in the east and south directions of the village.

To the east, the road to Banis and the city of Grudin, where the advancing base of Grecia was stuck in the middle of the road, and in this direction the Jackals could advance and retreat with ease.

To the south is adjacent to the windmill hills, from which timber can be transported in good condition and heavy siege engines and rams are concentrated.

There were about two hundred mercenaries and adventurers stationed in the small square, and Mu Kai quickly found the camp belonging to the war mercenary group, everyone was ready for battle, and after the personnel were assembled, they climbed the eastern wall under the leadership of Crowne, and there was a small section of the city wall that they were responsible for defending.

"How many people are on the other side? Looks like more than a thousand, right? Looking at the gnolls who were gathering in the distance, Mukai asked Crown beside him.

"The intelligence shows that it is 1,300 people, it should not be wrong, the commander is an Oyemaf, what is it called?" Unable to remember the name for a moment, Clouen thought as he rubbed the stubble on his chin with his index finger and thumb.

"Rakleman, the most powerful subordinate of the Bloody Monarch Nurka." Yana reminded beside her, "You can't do this, Captain! ”

The half-elf mercenary likes to carry with Cloun and never misses any opportunity to hit him.

"Hey, hey! Who cares what the wolves have strange names? I'm going to be killed anyway! ”

Clun wisely didn't provoke the spicy mercenary and fooled him around.

Yana's elder brother, the current deputy head of the War Mercenary Regiment, Yari, diverted the topic and said: "This battle is not easy to fight, counting the militia, we are less than six hundred, and the last attack of Cosellus caused the Guruding village to lose most of its elite." ”

"If you want to defend the city, there should be enough manpower." Kaizhe pointed ahead calmly and said, "The jackals are almost attacking!" ”

Following the direction pointed by the middle-aged mage, Mu Kai saw that the forward of the gnolls had begun to move, and the jackals carried long ladders and ropes with anchor hooks on their shoulders, lined up and slowly advanced, followed by archers who played a covering role.

The situation was similar to that in the south, except for the addition of two huge siege engines.

The siege engines were crudely made, and one of them was even a little crooked, but it was huge, and the thick timber staggered and bitten together, looking like a monstrous monster, brought a great sense of oppression to the soldiers defending the city.

"The jackals carry the stolen gold coins in their arms, they have already made a fortune, and they may not have the determination to fight now." Mu Kai slowly drew his long sword, pointed at the jackal soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and said loudly: "Fight hard, we have no other way out!" ”

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

The bell on the tower of the castle was struck, and the sound of a loud knock made people's eardrums tingle.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Archer prepare!"

Several heralds ran swiftly across the walls, shouting loudly.

It is not known who shot the first arrow, and the battle began.

At first, it can only be a long-range duel, and when the bowstring vibrates, it emits "Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound is like a dense drum beat.

Arrows rained down in the air, whistling arrows staggered through the air, and then flew towards their respective targets with the hiss of breaking wind, splattering red blood flowers.

The howls of the jackals and the shouts of the soldiers, intertwined with all kinds of piercing screams, converged into a heart-stopping roar that resounded throughout the battlefield.

After the first few rounds of outbreaks, the soldiers' attacks began to become weaker, the number of jackal archers was larger, the archery skills were stronger, and as the casualties increased and the physical strength was consumed, the soldiers defending the city began to be at a disadvantage even with the help of the height difference of the city walls, and the suppressive effect on the jackals became smaller and smaller.

The archers in the mercenaries and adventurers are the real elite, and they still maintain a steady shooting and killing system, and with their agility, their casualties are very small.

Just like Gogo, he has developed a strong sense of battle in life-and-death battles over the years, even in the face of five or six jackal archers, he is still calm, does not look embarrassed, and can also seize the opportunity to counterattack when dodging, and the arrows he shoots are sharp and accurate.

The archers who have completed their first transfer are the Grim Reaper who harvests life in such a war, but unfortunately their number is too small to turn the tide of the war.

More and more jackals gathered under the walls, climbing up ladders and ropes, and soon the time came for the two sides to meet each other.
