Chapter Fifty-Eight: Slaughter
The army lined up outside the town, causing panic in the town, at first the town sent people to negotiate, but then the talks seemed to collapse, Lei Hai faintly heard someone shouting 'infidels, infidels' and the like in the back, and then the people in the town were killed, and then the town gate was closed.
The town also has a wall outside, about four or five meters high, the structure is made of stone, and there are many guards on the wall, and as the two sides collapse, there are more and more guards.
The Church of Courage did not attack immediately, but waited for the large team of logistics men to follow up, and first set up a simple military camp, while there were craftsmen in the rear convoy, who were cutting trees from the field to build simple siege machinery, such as ladders.
At this time, the Church of Courage issued exploration missions, exploring the terrain around the town, as well as exploring the interior of the town, and there were many contractors who went to claim the mission, but neither Lei Hai nor Steel Shield went.
The reward for one mission is not high, and the second is that a big war is imminent, so they have to recharge their energy and conserve their physical strength and energy.
After a dozen ladders six or seven meters high were made, and the trebuchets in the logistics convoy were assembled, the army phalanx began to move in the direction of the city wall, and the battle was about to begin.
More than 1,000 people lined up in an array to move forward, the visual impact brought by it is very large, ordinary people will lose the will to resist under this visual impact, Lei Hai wants to encounter this situation, there is only one way, that is, run, he will never be able to resist the impact of thousands of troops alone, even if he is several times stronger.
The standard array began to fall apart as it approached the town's walls, stretching into a straight line and rushing under the walls like a tide.
And the guards on the city wall began to rain arrows, all kinds of stones, thick rolling logs pushed down from above, as long as they hit it, they would be injured, hit the head and other vital points, and fell to the ground on the spot, life and death are unknown, and the battle instantly entered a tragic state.
At any time, the siege is the most tragic and the loss is the greatest, but fortunately, all the contractors are adventurers in this world, and the commander knows that they are not good at siege warfare, so they did not let them join the siege warfare.
In fact, Lei Hai suspects that if they are allowed to join the siege war, there will be several contractors who will obey the order, and there is a high probability that they will refuse.
The battle lasted for almost an hour, and the army of Ramgarh City attacked back and forth in three echelons, and attacked the city in waves without stopping, suffering heavy casualties, but still failed to capture the city.
However, the defenders in the city also suffered heavy losses, this is just a small town, there is no regular army, only the militia organized in the town, and the combat effectiveness is much lower than that of the regular army.
Lei Hai kept observing from a distance, and saw that there were many black-armored warriors on the walls of the town, mixed in the militia, and it was these black-armored warriors of the elite template who stabilized it, and the militia at the head of the city did not collapse.
However, their number is too small to change the tide of the battle, it can be stabilized for a while, but it certainly can't last long, and the most important thing is that none of the Templars of the Church of Courage have not moved, if they move, the town will definitely not be able to stop it.
"It's a little strange, if the Temple of the Cruel Church is here, why don't you send a strong person like a priest to help? One priest on the battlefield can be used as ten black-armored warriors. ”
Lei Hai didn't think that this was the headquarters of the Brutal Church, at best it was a sub-diocese, and if it was the headquarters of the Brutal Church, then their task would be more difficult than that.
When a church involves the true God, if it is a church headquarters, there will definitely be an existence beyond the horror template, you must know that the leader of the Church of the True God - the Pope or the Pope and the like are basically the chosen people of the true God, all of them are legendary powerhouses, and any one of them can easily kill everyone present.
He suspected that their mission world this time was limited to the Ramgar City area, and it should be a small piece of a large world as their mission area, and the area of the contractor's activities was limited to this area, and the strongest one that appeared was the diocesan bishop level of the two churches, and it was impossible for more strong people to appear.
Another hour and a half later, after the army had lost nearly thirty percent, the town gate was finally breached.
To be precise, under their continuous attacks, when the Templars of the Church of Courage finally entered the battle, the black-armored warriors of the brutal church immediately withdrew, leaving only the ordinary militia to hold on to the city walls for less than ten minutes before the city gate was captured.
The remaining army of Ramga, who was in his early 1,000s, stormed the town and began to slaughter it.
True, the army lost too much, and the commander gave the order to slaughter the town directly, and it was not stopped by the Church of Courage.
"Evil heretic, the great Lord of Cruelty will avenge me!"
"Cruel executioners, my lord will punish you."
This was the second most heard sound by Lei Hai and the other contractors after following the army into the town, and the most were all kinds of screams.
The group of contractors walked silently on the central street with pale faces, and everyone was silent and silent.
On the side of the road, there were killed civilians everywhere, when the militia was crushed, the civilians hiding in the houses were rudely broken into the door by the soldiers, the old men were dragged out and hacked to death, the women were raped and killed, both the old people and the children, all killed, and the whole street was covered with blood, so that they walked on the street and their feet were sticky, it was all blood that flowed out.
The contractors from the real society have never seen this kind of brutality that only appears in history books, and the bloody atmosphere is so thick that everyone feels uncomfortable, and the few female contractors in the team have already vomited so much that they almost vomited bile.
Lei Hai felt a little uncomfortable, and had a feeling of wanting to vomit, but the steel shield was better, and the soldiers were determined, and it was not that he had never seen such a cruel scene, and he could bear it, but his face was ugly.
The army advanced all the way, and there were constant sounds of battle and screams in front of them, and there were constant remnants of militia and civilians resisting, and one by one they were killed, and they almost all the way forward with corpses.
The knights of the Church of Courage guarded the priest in front of them, and a female contractor couldn't help but come forward and question, and when she came back in the middle of the night, she became even more disappointed.
Someone asked her what was going on, and she replied:
"They say that these townspeople are heretics, and heretics must die."
All....
"Don't think too much, it's just a quest world, and if you complete the quest, you have to leave."
Listening to these self-deceptive words, Lei Hai's blood surged into his heart, and he shouted loudly with an impulse:
"Ahh
Everyone turned their heads, he pinched his nose and said embarrassedly:
"Excuse me, my nose is itchy."
"This situation will happen again in the future, so it's good to get used to it slowly."
Steel Shield patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
