Chapter 59: The Golden Scroll?
Passing through the streets of the town for nearly two kilometers, the townspeople who slipped through the net rushed out from time to time along the way, and they raised their knives to slash at them with painful faces.
By the end of the street, the town had entered the middle of two peaks more than a thousand meters apart, and the town was built between these two peaks, one end outside and the other end in the valley, dividing the town into two halves, half of which belonged to the common townspeople's living area, and the other half belonged to the brutal church area, which was cut off by a wall, and they needed to storm the city again.
Unlike a section of the city wall outside the town, there is a moat outside the city wall here, and it is quite wide, more than ten meters wide, the water does not know how deep it is, there is a huge black shadow swimming in the water, and it is estimated that there are fierce beasts in the water.
The Brutal Church had abandoned the outer town and concentrated on defending the interior, only defending a small section of the wall.
When Lei Hai and the others arrived, the army of Ramgar City was regrouping, presumably preparing to attack the city, and many contractors sighed and prepared to watch the battle outside.
Only this time they were not so lucky, and a knight galloped over on his war horse and commanded in a loud voice:
"Get ready to attack with the army!"
After saying that, he didn't give them a chance to defend himself, and turned around and left.
The group was stunned for a moment, and then exploded into a mess.
Just when the army under the city was getting ready to go, the priests of the Church of Courage were making various preparations, and the contractors were arguing, on the top of the castle-like cathedral inside the brutal church behind the city wall, more than a dozen priests in black robes were standing in a huge magic circle painted on the ground, in the center of the circle, there was a black-robed priest, he had a golden scroll in his hand, which was emitting a faint golden light, as the surrounding dozen black-robed priests continued to chant incantations, the light emitted by the golden scroll became brighter and brighter, and slowly changed to the direction of blood.
A gust of wind blew, and the steel shield suddenly looked up and looked around, and said in a low voice:
"I feel a little wrong, an inexplicable chill."
Lei Hai also glanced around and said:
"I don't feel it, is it because I have a bad premonition that the city is going to be attacked?"
"No, I rarely have such a hunch, but every time it happens, something very bad happens."
The steel shield's gaze finally fell on the castle behind the city wall in front of him, and he said in a deep voice:
"This feeling of uneasiness came from there."
Lei Hai touched his head and said:
"There shouldn't be any problem with this, maybe there are strong people there who can kill us in seconds, that's why there is this sense of unease, don't worry, the sky is falling, there are tall people on top, the Church of Courage has two strong people with terrifying templates, and the Brutal Church really has super masters coming over, let them go to the top."
Under the coercive orders of the Church of Courage, the contractors reluctantly followed, and Lei Hai and Steel Shield were no exception.
The siege began without warning, they were driven into the attack queue by the warlords, the distance was fine, they didn't ask to rush forward, those melee contractors were miserable, they were driven forward by the warlords, the steel shield held a shield, was driven into the first queue and walked in the front, just entered the range, a rain of arrows flew over.
The moat was ten meters wide, and the previous ladder was not used, so the commander ordered the corpses of the villagers to be moved and thrown into the river to be used to fill the river.
As soon as he threw it down, the river boiled, and huge black shadows floated up from the bottom of the water and frantically bit the corpses, frightening everyone into a cold sweat.
These black image giant piranhas, their teeth are dense and extremely sharp, and they can easily bite off a large piece of flesh from a corpse in one bite, and can split a corpse in a few clicks.
There are more piranhas, but there are more corpses, and there are more than a thousand townspeople in the town, most of whom have been killed, and the corpses can pile up into a hill.
"Bang!"
A loud sound of shaking eardrums exploded in Lei Hai's ears, startling him, it was the contractor with the steam gun, this gun was powerful, but the sound was too loud, he was on the side, every shot was filled with steam, and it felt like a cloud.
He was so obvious that the sound of gunfire was not only frightening to his teammates, but also easier to attract the attention of the enemy, without firing two shots, Lei Hai felt a stinging pain in his scalp, and subconsciously moved to the other side, and then heard a sharp roar, a thick crossbow arrow flashed, just hit the muzzle of the steam gun, the terrifying force stretched open the muzzle, and with a loud bang, the steam cavity exploded, and the hot steam burst out, and the man let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground.
The contractors who were close to them were also affected, and they were scorched by the boiling steam, and the surroundings were in chaos.
"My gun!"
The steam chamber exploded, the steam gun must have been scrapped, and the man howled in pain.
No one paid attention to this man's screams, no one dared to be distracted on the battlefield, in fact, he was lucky to be like this, a crossbow arrow was blocked by the weapon and was not killed directly.
This time the brutal church did not give up the defense of the city wall, this section of the city wall was very well managed by them, all kinds of crossbow arrows were dense on the city wall, there were dozens of bed crossbows on the short city wall, there were a large number of trebuchets behind the wall, there was constantly the sound of whirring wind, and then huge stones flew out from behind the city wall and flew towards them.
The terrifying blows fell, the position rumbled loudly, and the stones of several thousand kilograms on the table fell to the ground and rolled in all directions, hurting and dying next to each other, directly plowing a bloody path, and bursts of terrible screams were endless.
The stone weighed thousands of kilograms, smashed from a distance and fell to the ground and rolled forward, and the terrifying force could easily crush people, and no one could stop them.
Lei Hai was in no mood to fight at this time, and his eyes were fixed on the trajectory of the falling rock, ensuring that he would not be directly run over.
Fortunately, his luck was not bad, and the speed of the stones thrown was not as fast as that of the cannonballs, except that one of the stones fell to his left, and he deliberately turned more than two meters to the right in order to be safe, and did not suffer any damage.
The battle lasted for about half an hour, and when the morale of the army in Ramgar City was about to collapse after heavy losses, the knights of the Church of Courage began to join the battlefield, and at the same time, some priests began to cast magic to calm the morale and stabilize the morale a little.
However, this will not last, the army has lost nearly half of its personnel from the attack on the town to the present, which is a very terrible number, if it were not for the commander who ordered the slaughter of the town, normally even the regular army would have collapsed, and now it is on the verge of collapse, if the Church of Courage can't quickly open up the situation, this army will really collapse.
The normal army has a limit to the battle loss line, and the average recruit may collapse after two achievements in battle, about 30% of the veterans, and 40% to 50% of the division of a hundred battles, and no matter how many battle losses there are, the army will collapse, unless it is a special circumstance, such as no way back.
Nearly fifty percent of this army has not collapsed in battle, and to be honest, Lei Hai was very surprised.
