Chapter 409: Heaven Descends

On September 4, 1440 in the imperial calendar, the Norman leader Boneless led 80,000 Norman main forces and more than a dozen small tribes to gather in Rennes.

Although the Norman vanguard was repelled by hundreds of Imperial horsemen, the Imperial nobles raced for their lives and did not take advantage of the situation to cover up and attack. By the time the nobles had put an end to their quarrel for a while, and had finally remembered that they had joined forces against the enemy, the army of the Boneless had already landed.

Its general trend has been established and cannot be shaken.

The people of insight in the city all sighed, but the matter had come to this point, and they could not do anything. After arguing a little more, they also retreated. Under these circumstances, it is clear that the Autumn Harvest Festival cannot continue. It was originally a grand festival intended to dispel the shadows in people's hearts, but because of the arrival of the boneless, it was once again shrouded in blood.

On September 5, 1440 A.D., the Boneless, who had been repairing all night, launched a tentative assault on the city of Wren. As the capital of Britannia, Rennes' defenses are clearly not comparable to those of the imperial castles that the Normans had previously captured.

When the Norman warriors, shields and battle axes in their hands, attacked Wren with supreme courage, they were greeted by countless arrows and falling rocks. The walls of Rennes are so high that there is nothing to climb in between. Norman was not good at siege equipment, and the only way to siege the city was to ram the gates of Rennes with sassal logs and build ladders to force the walls, all of which were broken by the prepared Britannian defenders.

But this does not mean that the Britannian army defending the city is easy.

Despite such unfavorable conditions, the Norman warriors, motivated by some unknown, seemed to have completely entered a state of madness. Their eyes were red, full of greed and lust, and they had no idea what death and pain were.

As long as he is alive, he will attack any enemy in front of him frantically until he is completely cut to pieces. Under this frenzied offensive of the Normans, the Britannian defenders were all terrified. Almost every Norman warrior who made it to the top of the city would kill multiple Britannian soldiers before they fell.

The walls were once precarious.

At the critical moment, Archbishop Alain of Britannia personally ascended to the city and sent the blessing of the Lord to the warriors in the bloody battle. The bishop was old, but he had no fear. In the face of the ferocious Normans, as the scriptures say, the old man who was covered in golden light and held a cane in his hand would vomit blood and die with just one blow.

Inspired by the bishop, the Britannian garrison was demoralized and finally gained a foothold.

The Battle of Rennes on 5 September lasted from morning to sunset, during which the Britannian defenders, one thousand men after another, ascended the walls and soon became part of the slaughterhouse. The flesh-strewn walls were so slippery that they couldn't even stand.

Although it was only the first day of fighting, it was far more tragic than anyone expected. Under the attack of the Normans regardless of losses, Wren's battle loss rate was also shocking.

In the battle, the Britannian defenders directly killed more than 2,000 people, and the wounded soldiers were not counted. Norman lost more than 3,000 killed, lightly and seriously wounded...... Not!

Except for a very small number of Normans who were seriously wounded and comatose and captured, the rest of the Normans all died in battle, and none of them surrendered.

This is the defense of the city!

Such a terrible battle loss ratio made everyone's hearts tremble. And some people, relying on Wren's solid defense, can easily withstand the Norman wave of siege, and the mentality is also suddenly shattered. Invisibly, a horror came to everyone's heart.

"Lord, he, are they all crazy......

At the same time, not only the infantry, but also the Norman navy launched an attack on the port of Rennes. On that day, the port of Rennes was sailed in a fierce naval battle on the famous port of the Empire. Hundreds of enemy ships are entangled, frantically attacking each other.

A strong citizen can go to the head of the city with a little training to assist the regular army in defense, but naval warfare is no better than defending a city, and without a period of training, the navy cannot form a combat force at all. And on the vast sea, Britannia is even more unsafe, struggling to support it only by virtue of its numerical superiority.

Seeing that the Britannian army was about to fail, with the support of William's own men, the extremely conspicuous Tirbitz finally broke out of the encirclement. Relying on the speed and armor far exceeding the opponent's speed, the huge black warship forcibly crashed into the opponent's formation regardless of it, and dozens of bed crossbows fired at the same time, instantly dismantling the Norman leader's flagship into pieces, and the Norman leader was pierced by the crossbow arrow at that time and was directly killed.

Having lost its flagship and commander, the Norman Navy was in disarray. And taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, William decisively commanded the whole army to attack. The Britannian Navy was mostly local, and knew that behind them was their homeland. Now that our situation is superior, a huge combat power immediately broke out, and under the command of William, it was entangled with the Norman navy.

Soon after the battle on the city walls ended, the leaders of both sides, completely carried away by the huge casualties, finally came to their senses. The battle has reached this point that there is no need to continue. Although both sides are eager to strangle each other...... Under the restraint of the commanders of both sides, the Norman navy, which suffered heavy casualties, slowly withdrew from the battlefield under the joint command of several chiefs.

And Britannia, which suffered heavier casualties, was powerless to pursue, so he could only watch them leave.

It was a battle, with countless casualties on both sides, and the sea turned red.

On the morning of September 6, the Norman barracks, which had been silent all night, moved again. It's just that this time they didn't directly attack the city, but started...... Slaughter!

Rennes is a large city surrounded by numerous villages. Originally, relying on the convenience of being close to Rennes, the life of the villagers was quite okay compared to other people in this era. But now, these few advantages have become a talisman.

The Norman pirates, who had suffered heavy casualties, stormed every village they could find, robbing everything they could find, and the young men and women were plundered into the camp. As for the remaining old people and children, a rather spectacular Beijing Temple has been built outside the city of Rennes.

With their heads.

Outside the city of Rennes, there was a lot of mourning, and the soldiers who witnessed the tragic situation outside on the city wall were even more excited, and kept asking for battle. But the nobles have not yet elected a nominal leader, so how can they care about such a trivial matter.

Louie dropped the cup a few times, but it was useless.

At this time, some bad rumors began to spread in Rennes.

……

"It's scary, it's scary......"

Juana trembled and threw herself into Rosa's arms, and the married woman was now like a pitiful little animal. Rosa, on the other hand, looked at her with great tenderness, gently patting her on the back, trying to calm the Spanish Grand Duchess.

"It's all right, Juana, everything will be fine."

Rosa's words seemed to have a strange and soothing effect, and she put her hands on the cheeks of the panicked Grand Duchess and landed a soft kiss on her forehead.

"You're not alone...... Don't be afraid. ”

“…… Well. ”

Juana looked at Rosa's gentle gaze and answered softly after a long time. She buried her head in Rosa's full ****, arching one arch at a time, and couldn't help but show a reassuring smile on her face.

I'm going to be blind!

I really can't stand these witches, either they run away and disappear, or they just show their affection everywhere.

Andiel silently looked away from the pair of lily girlfriends, and the indifferent mage moved his neck imperceptibly, looking away...... It's just that what appeared in front of his eyes was a worse scene.

Tilbitz, who was lying in a soft chair, opened his hands and closed his eyes shyly, his face full of anticipation. Sinloth smirked and glanced at his wife beside her, only to see that Mariana's forehead was bruised, but after she stroked her belly, which was becoming more and more round, she didn't say much. The puffed pregnant woman snorted coldly, and then turned her head.

Tirpitz's body is too conspicuous, and it is the best target in naval battles. Although he was able to tear apart the enemy with his terrible armor, Tirbitz was still the target of the fire, and he was still wounded. Although Britannia's craftsmen repaired it overnight, the speed of recovery was still worrying, and in order to allow it to continue to play a role in the next battle, it had to borrow the Yuan Jing for temporary repairs - Mariana knew this, of course, but the woman was still very unhappy.

She could ignore certain things, but she would never allow Tirbitz to do anything to her husband. So despite her reluctance, she still had to watch the two complete the repairs with her own eyes.

"Really, look at me, Charulu. Helping the damaged and returning ship mother to repair it in the canal is also the job of the governor. ”

Hearing Tirpitz's coquettish voice, Sinlos was helpless, he leaned down and kissed the long-awaited Tirbitz on the cherry lips. After a series of silent suckings, Sinloth, whose lips were slightly swollen, got up again, leaving only his eyes rolled up, and Tirpitz still lying limply in the soft chair with a broken appearance.

It's just borrowing a part of Xinluos's Yuan Jing to recover from his injury, should it be so exaggerated...... Andiel didn't understand what Mariana and Tirpitz were thinking, but it seemed that Mariana's terrible desire for exclusivity was a big problem.

Sure enough, it was Nanoka who was more suitable to be Fanzhuo's wife.

However, this matter can be mentioned to Sinloth later, but this is not the top priority now.

The pale, bloodless mage stretched out his equally pale fingers and snapped his fingers. And with his movements, an invisible wave began to ripple in the room.

Soundproof barriers.

The three children, Ellie, Nanoka and Assasin, are too young to participate in certain things. Pampered by their kind father, the three little ones were driven to bed early. Now, it's grown-up time.

"Sinloth, can you say anything, what are you looking for me?"

Sinloth didn't answer, and as soon as his heart moved, a pink and cute snow-white rabbit appeared on his shoulder. The incarnation of the sun, which had not appeared for a long time, first stretched Meimei's waist, and then seemed to smell something. Between the cute long ears, the corners of the mouth are already flowing with a trace of sparkling saliva.

The Sun Avatar took a deep breath, and the breath of blood and destruction poured into the rabbit's petite body. And the two crowns that had been silent for a long time in the earl's hair also began to emit a faint glimmer. The two crowns, which had been badly damaged in the battle with the Scourge Dream, began to repair themselves again.

"Huh?"

Andiel tilted his head, not understanding what Sinlos meant.

"That's right, brother, I saw something strange in the Norman barracks......"

Sinloth said this, and the rabbit sitting on his shoulder jumped down just in time. The little rabbit picked up the pen and paper on the table, and with that EX-level accuracy, he began to draw it quickly. It was obviously some kind of magic array, and the lines inside were so complicated that just looking at it made Sinloth dizzy. Fortunately, with the help of the rabbit, he was able to successfully restore the entire magic array on paper.

"I saw it in their camp by accident, and I don't know why I care so much."

"This is ......"

Andiel's pupils suddenly narrowed to the limit.
