Chapter Ninety-Nine: Charge

When Count Valen climbed the city wall in a hurry, he saw such a shocking scene of heavy cavalry charging.

This well-equipped order of heavily armored knights rushed towards the gate of the castle in a sharp formation, and the silver armor reflected a terrifying cold light in the sunlight, and the strong murderous aura made everyone on the city wall feel chills in their hearts.

The neat formation and the excellent standard armor all show that this knight order is well-trained and has a strong heritage.

Count Valen was a little skeptical, this order of knights didn't look like it could be formed in a year, wasn't it?

There was no time to think about anything else, looking at the posture of this cavalry unit, it was obvious that the comers were not good, with their numbers and equipment, once they stormed the castle, it would be difficult to resist with the remaining forces in the castle.

"Gotta stop them!"

Count Valen shouted at the captain of the guard who was in charge of defending the walls.

"Rest assured, Lord Earl, the gate of the castle has been closed, and they can't enter without siege equipment!"

As early as the beginning of the discovery of the attacking knights, the captain of the guard, who ordered the closing of the city gate, said with confidence.

Count Valen found that he was a little frightened by his own thoughts, not to mention that this elite knight order could not be trained by Chen Mo in just one year without a war horse.

Even if it was really Chen Mo, he was indeed as powerful as rumored, but he had no wings and couldn't do magic, so he couldn't fly up the city wall with this group of cavalry.

Thinking of this, Count Valen's heart relaxed, sorted out the clothes that had been messed up in a hurry, and looked at the heavily armored knights rolling below, and his heart was not as worried as before.

This black stone castle is made of hard black rock throughout, and the walls are more than ten meters high and more than three meters wide, making it difficult for even agile werewolves to climb.

From the beginning of its construction to the present, I don't know how many enemy attacks it has withstood for its lord, and it is still standing.

The two gates of the castle are reinforced with hard wood wrapped in iron sheets, with a thickness of more than 30 centimeters, thick and strong, and the bolts are made of whole thick logs, not to mention the impact of cavalry, even a group of werewolves are difficult to break.

Even if these knights charged towards the castle gate with all their might, they would only break their tendons and fracture under the violent impact, and it was impossible for them to break through the strong gate with their flesh alone.

With the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, the heavily armored knights approached the castle gates, and soon came within range of their bows and arrows.

"Archer prepare!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

With the command of the captain of the guard, the archers behind the towers and the battlements shot their arrows at the galloping knights.

"Whew...... Whew......"

With the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air, a black rain of arrows pressed towards the charging knights.

"Raise your shield!"

Chen Mo, who was in the lead, shouted, and the hundreds of knights behind him raised their shields in unison and blocked the helmet.

Chen Mo grasped the timing very well, as soon as the shield was raised, the rain of arrows on the city wall was covered.

A crisp metal crash sound rang out one after another, and with the dense formation of the knights' charge, nearly half of the hundreds of sharp arrows hit the target.

It's just that after the rain of arrows, the shield was lowered, and the entire knight regiment was unharmed, and even the horses that sat down were not injured.

This is thanks to the armor on their bodies, in addition to the material that is much stronger than ordinary knight armor, this set of full-body knight armor and horse armor designed by Chen Mo himself is also very comprehensive in the protection of knights and war horses.

Borrowing from his own Erdman alloy armor, the joints and other moving parts have been cleverly designed, ensuring flexibility and strong defense.

This set of knight's armor is exposed except for the part of the eye, and everything else is under the protection of the armor, plus the excellent steel material ensures that the armor is strong enough, and it will not be pierced by the bow and arrow at all, as long as the face is blocked with a shield in time, the bow and arrow will not pose any threat to them at all.

Even the war horses under their seats are all heavily armored, and even their eyes are blocked by the steel masks on their heads, which can not only resist the enemy's attacks, but also prevent the war horses from being frightened on the battlefield.

The neck and chest were also covered by sturdy armor, and only the legs were exposed, and the arrows shot from above the city walls could hardly hit the legs of the horses, which were small and fast-moving, so the bows and arrows were not much of a threat to these horses.

"How is that possible?!"

Under a dense rain of arrows, the enemy was all intact, this situation shocked the Count of Valen and others on the city wall, and under the order of the captain of the guard, the archers began to shoot in a continuous manner, and the rain of arrows covered Chen Mo's knights.

Under Chen Mo's precise command, every attack was well resisted, and the knights quickly rushed under the city gate under the rain of arrows.

Due to the suddenness of the Knights' attack, Count Valen's troops were completely unprepared, and there were no stones or sassalwoods on the walls, so it was too late to prepare now.

Therefore, when the bow and arrow were ineffective, they could only watch the knights led by Chen Mo attack under the gate of the castle.

Thankfully, they couldn't do anything with the sturdy gate.

This is not the simple wooden gate of those small nobles and poor lords, even the werewolves who invaded before failed to break through the strong gate, and after being shot to death by them with the help of the location, the remaining werewolves finally had to flee in embarrassment.

Seeing the Knights rushing towards the city gate without slowing down in the slightest, a mocking smile appeared on Count Valen's face.

He concluded that the knights must have had no knowledge of his castle at all, and had regarded the gate as a thin wooden gate that could be easily smashed by a charging horse.

He was looking forward to the moment when they slammed into it with all their might and found that the gate was unbreakable, and with the speed of their charge, those in front would be squeezed into meat sauce, and even those behind would not be unharmed.

Once the heavily armored knights charge, while gaining a strong impact, it is also difficult to be flexible, and it takes a long buffer distance to slow down and stop, with their indomitable posture at this time, I don't know if they will be wiped out under the gate?

Thinking of this, Count Valen couldn't help but laugh, looking at the knights below who had approached less than thirty meters from the gate, still not slowing down at all, Count Valen's expectant probe looked down.

He wanted to see for himself how these knights had brought about their own demise.
