Act XLV. Battle of KeynzburgVII.
Colin. Royce, one of the commanders of Wendland's vanguard into Cainzburg, was a knight with bronze lower strength, his father had established a meritorious service in Wendland's suppression of the rebels, and was awarded the Medal of Glory, and then received the knighthood and passed it on to him, but in the second generation, his son was still in infancy, and his wife was sick, and he did not want to participate in this war if he did not have to answer the call of the lord.

And now, as a member of this extremely dangerous vanguard force, Colin has mixed feelings, on the one hand, if he can build up his military exploits, then after the war is over, after returning home, he will definitely be able to obtain abundant wealth and fame, and earn more for his children; On the other hand, although Wendland has an absolute advantage in the current general trend of war, in the battle of the Misty Forest, Wendland was defeated, and even their commander, the gold-level Horace. Lord Akrio has died, and the Asters are treacherous and cunning, and as the vanguard, they are more than lucky.
Colin and his party entered from a crypt in the southwest of Keynzburg, and after a half-day trek, they made it through the dirty and dark sewers to enter the castle. Even in winter, the sewers still smell of rancidity, disgusting, and from time to time one or two ugly-looking monsters pop out of the sewers in disrepair, costing him two of his men.
But fortunately, after entering the castle, their actions were quite smooth, after killing a few soldiers patrolling near the sewers, they divided into three ways, according to the established plan towards the city wall, the goal is to manipulate the city gate to take off and land the mechanism room, once the magic barrier is activated, it is difficult to close, and most of the control mechanisms are in the hinterland of the castle, so they do not consider directly ending the magic barrier for the time being.
In the face of these Astor soldiers, Colin with the bronze downstream level is like a fish in water, he can only kill an Astor soldier in three moves, and some enemies can't even survive his sword, leading thirty people all the way to break through, but he failed to find the organ room that controls the take-off and landing of the city gate, but instead went all the way up and climbed to the top of the city wall.
"Protect Her Highness the Princess!"
When he heard the opposing soldiers shouting and protecting a group of blonde women in military uniform, he knew that he had hit a big fish.
Colin knew that the owner of this castle was Prince Leotis, but he didn't know that Her Royal Highness Princess Astel was established here, and if he could capture this princess alive and hand it over to his lord, then he would definitely receive a richer reward, and maybe even be given a fief, thinking of this, Colin licked his lips and ordered his men to attack.
However, to Colin's surprise, this princess was not the weak boudoir lady he imagined, and he was a little surprised that he could cut off one of his subordinates with just one sword.
Bronze mid-tier, and even higher.
"Surround it, there are not many people on the other side!"
Whispering an order, Colin knew that they could only rely on their numerical superiority to consume the enemy, and this advantage could not be maintained for long, and out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to have seen Astor soldiers hurrying up the stairs to support this side, Colin turned his gaze back to the battlefield in front of him, only to see that in an instant, the blonde princess stepped forward and slit the throat of a Wendland soldier with a single sword.
Colin panicked, not only because of the other party's burning long sword, but also because of the determined look in the girl's eyes, it could be seen that she was not used to killing, and the hand holding the long sword trembled slightly due to nervousness, but even so, Her Royal Highness the princess still waved the long sword bravely, which made Colin have some scruples.
Finally, when another Wendland soldier was killed by the girl, Colin finally couldn't hold it back, he happened to engage an Asterl soldier, and after three moves, he sent the sword in his hand into the opponent's heart, and then, he turned around and stabbed the girl in the back!
This sword is quite tricky, attacking from the blind corner of the opponent's field of vision, pointing directly at the girl's heart, however, the other party is as if he has eyes on his back, and he easily dodges to the side, and easily avoids the edge of the short sword.
Colin was startled, and was about to withdraw and retreat, avoiding the opponent's blade, but the girl did not give him this opportunity at all, and swung the long sword in his hand at a speed that could not be seen by the naked eye.
"Ahh
With Colin's screams, his right hand holding the dagger flew into the air, blood splattering onto his face, making him feel hot as he was frozen by the north wind.
In the next second, the scorching flames were coming, Colin didn't even have time to feel the edge of the opponent's long sword, he felt his body light, his vision began to float upward, he saw the cannon fire in the sky burst into brilliant fireworks, he saw the chaotic men and horses in Keynzburg, moving towards the city wall with torches, he saw the plain, Wendland's soldiers moving like ants, killed by falling cannonballs.
The last thing I remember in my mind is the appearance of his wife and children. Royce ended his life at the age of thirty.
And the battle on the city wall is not over yet.
Elifils's act of cutting down the leader of the other party with one blow obviously caused Wendland's soldiers to be in disarray, and they were afraid to retreat, but this was in Kainzburg, the very center of Aster's army, where was it so easy to retreat.
"The opponent's general has been cut down by us, and then we will wipe out the enemy in one go!"
Elifils shouted, frightened by her shout, the formation of the Wendland soldiers began to fall apart, and Aster's reinforcements arrived just in time, and the Wendland soldiers were almost unable to fight back, and could only be gradually eaten away by Aster.
Alysfers knew that the battle on this side was decided, but she was still worried about the situation on the other two sides, and she was a little uneasy when she saw the faint light of fire on the walls on the east and west sides.
She needed to find out where Wendland had infiltrated the castle as soon as possible, and whether any other Wendland troops had entered the castle, and at the same time, because of the commotion, the continuous shelling on the city walls had also stalled for a while, and in this gap, more Wendland's infantry had broken into the vicinity of the magic barrier, and Eliefils knew what that meant.
Eventually, a few minutes later, Alysfils killed the last Wendland soldier to infiltrate the southern walls, and just as she was about to give the order for the soldiers to resume shelling, a sound like breaking glass made her heart skip a beat.
She saw that the magical barrier that had blocked Wendland's cannon fire was glowing with an ominous crimson light.
It was a sign that the wall was on the verge of collapse. (To be continued.) )
