Chapter 42: This Is Just the Beginning
"Behind the lavish lives of many nobles lies the corpses of countless innocents, and one of them now stands on this castle overlooking my army, without the slightest hint of repentance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
- Leo Chang
"Attack~~!!" In the deliberately elongated chant of Leo, the soldiers of Stormwind City, who were already impatient, led by more than a dozen punishment knights led by Finn, carried a rudimentary ladder and shields to cover the feathered arrows and stones fired by the castle, and launched an attack on O'Brien Castle.
Viscount Charlotte finally chose to resist, he still had some confidence in this choice, the dozens of veterans left behind in the castle plus more than a hundred new recruits who had recently been forcibly recruited, under the leadership of the only surviving knight, hid behind the city wall, facing Leo who was no more than twice as strong as him, the viscount still wanted to gamble, and at the same time, the messenger who went to other nobles and White Moon City to ask for help had climbed down the rope from the back of the castle.
Standing on the city wall, the composed, Viscount Charlotte desperately waved his decorative sword, ordering the soldiers to desperately attack the army of Stormwind with bows and crossbow arrows, but unfortunately the experienced veterans in the last war were almost lost, and these newly recruited soldiers could only guarantee to shoot the bows and arrows in their hands, not only was the range not accurate but also ridiculously poor, and the knights and soldiers who were rushing forward were not even bothered to dodge the action.
The distance of more than 100 meters allowed the leading Finn and the others to reach the dead corner under the city wall safely without much time, and after the champion swordsman who came later hung a few rough ladders on the city wall, Finn tightly buckled the shield in his left hand into his forearm, and the first to jump on the ladder and climb up with the long sword in his right hand, and the other ladders were also the first to be the punishment knight.
Dodging or dodging, allowing a few weak arrows to slip from the sturdy armor, Finn strode up the last ladder, the shield swung left and right to block the weapons stabbed by the few veterans, the long sword stabbed into the chest of one of them, and then the whole person jumped into the city wall, in the face of the soldiers swarming around, the Grand Master of the Punishment Knights did not care, the long sword flew up and down like an obedient elf in his hand, simple stabs, splits, and sharpening, the blade, the back of the sword and even the hilt of the sword became a deadly weapon in Finn's hands.
In a few breaths, he killed several people in an instant, and the terrifying combat power made the besieging Viscount Fort soldiers actually killed a gap by him alone, and after a few breaths, Fein looked at the several champion swordsmen who jumped in behind him, and plunged into the already timid crowd again.
The situation on the other several ladders is not much different from here, whether it is Anthony or Case, or other punishment knights, no matter from the comparison of combat experience or personal combat power, these recruits of the Viscount Castle are unlikely to pose any threat to them, if according to the data in the game, according to the punishment knight has been modified by Leo, four basic data 100, all skills are full level, long handle, one-handed, two-handed, throwing all 800 terrible attributes, these recruits are the five scum of war, Champion Swordsman and Stormwings can barely meet the minimum standard of the elite.
On the one hand, under the leadership of the Punishment Knight, the morale was like a rainbow, on the other hand, almost all of them were recruits who had just put down their farm tools, plus they had already approached the city wall and began to shoot accurately with the Storm Wings with long-range cover, panic and flight began after the last knight of the Viscount was killed by Keith, and some of the Viscount's soldiers began to drop their weapons and flee into the castle, some desperately retreated and pushed their companions forward, and some even panicked and were squeezed off the city wall with a miserable howl. At this time, only ten minutes have passed since the start of the siege.
Rhodes carefully shuttled through the crowd, after experiencing a hard baptism, Rhodes also from the ignorant peasant child who liked fantasy, really adapted to the identity of the soldier, did not slash and kill those scattered soldiers like his companions excitedly, Rod from the beginning of the battle Viscount Charlotte was tightly locked, and Rode, who wanted to become a big man, knew that only such a feat, he would get the other eyes of the god-like lord.
Yes, god-like lords, since the expedition Leo has not shied away many times from summoning food, wine, and even armor and weapons out of thin air, after the horror, in this superstitious age soldiers have regarded it as a miracle, and Leo has also been crowned with the title of god-like, which is somewhat blasphemous.
Baron Charlotte's mood was blank at this time, a little sluggish watching his soldiers being wantonly slaughtered, the city wall he had high hopes for did not even play a role, when his last knight was crucified on the city wall, the viscount finally regained consciousness, frantically waved the sword in his hand and ran towards the stairs below the city wall, even scratching himself without feeling pain.
All that comes to mind is "Run!" Run! Run! The Viscount who had this thought did not notice that in the noisy battlefield, there was an ordinary champion swordsman who was gradually approaching him.
Seeing that the prey dressed in gorgeous clothes was about to escape, how could Rhodes be willing, throw away the somewhat cumbersome shield, grab the sword body with his free left hand and pull out the long sword from the back of a sub-knight soldier with his right hand, and rushed in the direction of the viscount desperately, seeing that the viscount had gone down to the stairs behind the city wall, in a hurry, Rhodes pushed away the two routs in front of him and jumped directly from the city wall to the bottom of the stairs, and after landing on the ground, he endured the pain in his ankles, and Rod limped up and slowly walked in front of Viscount Charlotte.
The long sword hanging on his side, wisps of blood fell on the stone stairs along the tip of the sword, and also dripped in the heart of the viscount, looking at the half-covered helmet in front of him, the expressionless Rhodes, Viscount Charlotte first subconsciously waved the saber in his hand a few times, probably remembering his weak physique even in bed, the viscount first took a step back timidly, and said with a crying and laughing expression on his wine-colored face
"I'm Viscount Charlotte J. Orrea, soldier, I need to be treated with the dignity and treatment that a nobleman deserves, you can't ......"
Before he finished speaking, a huge black shadow occupied the Viscount's sight, and then it was dark in front of him, and the Viscount lay on the stairs with his back facing the sky and slowly slid down, not knowing who was going to work.
Rod shook his retracted fist vigorously, inserted his long sword back, lowered his head and carried the unconscious Viscount Charlotte on his shoulder, and then said to himself: "For dignity and treatment, you go and talk to my dead companions!" ā
I don't know when the sky began, a light rain began to fall, and the silky spring rain took away some of the unpleasant smell of blood, and Leo, who was fighting outside the city, suddenly tilted his head and said to the unprepared Baron Leicester, "You know, my brother, since I heard you tell you about the great deeds of your ancestors, there is an impulse and a thought that has always been in my mind. ā
A little stunned Leo suddenly mentioned this, but the good cultivation also made the baron bow slightly to Leo to express his gratitude when the other party mentioned the great history of his family, knowing that Leo did not finish speaking, the baron carefully and quietly waited for Leo's follow-up after giving the salute.
"The ancestors of the Great Swan family were able to use their blood and loyalty to help establish the empire, and even today there are legends of the ancestors of the noble family on the mainland." After a pause, Leo looked at Baron Leicester with extremely serious and profound eyes, "So, my dear brother, my first close ally on this continent, as I, who have the same inheritance from Pander as your family, can I be equally fortunate to have all the loyal and selfless help from you and the family behind you?" ā
For the first time, Leo showed his ambition to reach the top in front of people......
