Chapter 100: Fierce Battle and Siege

A wave of 500 troops, spearheaded by more than 50 berserkers, smashed into the walls of the city of Gronia like a giant fist.

The berserkers ran briskly, howling one after another, and at the same time a faint white air flow overflowed from their bodies, and under the effect of this air flow, they entered a state of rage, their eyes were red, their expressions were crazy, their bodies were bruised, and their muscles were bulging.

The white energy is not a fighting energy, but a special energy called madness. It comes from the spirit of the Berserker rather than the body, but it has a more powerful strengthening effect than the fighting spirit, which can make the Berserker enter a berserk state. In their frenzied state, their strength, speed, stamina, and resilience are greatly boosted, and these warriors in particular gain a bloodthirsty desire to fight, fearless of death. Such an army is difficult to defeat even if the opponent is of equal strength.

But the side effect is that the outburst of madness suppresses the sanity and wisdom of the berserkers, so that the berserkers weaken their control over themselves, are dominated by their own emotions, and fight according to their instincts, they tend to fight only on their own, and it is difficult to follow orders and commands.

There are many examples in history of berserkers chasing and killing enemies all the way to exhaustion, and finally being killed by the enemy. There are also cases where berserkers don't vent enough killing intent after killing enemies, and kill their allies in a frenzy. Therefore, the Berserker's army is a double-edged sword for any commander, and if used well, it is a positive force that destroys decay, and if used badly, it can put one's army in a situation of no return.

The crumbling walls were a slope of rubble, and the berserkers leaped and climbed like apes, rushing into the breach at a speed far beyond that of ordinary people.

The guards of the city lined up a formation to meet the attack, and more than twenty warriors in two rows, holding swords and shields, blocked the opening, followed by more than fifty spearmen and archers. They were full of knives and guns, and they looked very difficult to deal with. But the loose formation of berserkers rushed forward without hesitation.

Under the protection of the berserker, the berserker's skin became rock-solid, and the swords and spears of the defender warriors often left only shallow wounds on their bodies. And even if there is a wound, the mad body will quickly stop the bleeding and repair the wound. Often, four or five warriors beckoning to a berserker would hardly really hit him. It was difficult for the flying arrows to penetrate the berserker's body for half an inch, and most of the berserkers in the front line had many arrows stuck in their bodies, but they were still fighting vigorously. Far from reducing the Berserker's ability to act, these limited damages allow them to stimulate more rage, gain greater strength and speed, and multiply their combat power under the stimulation of the pain.

The berserker's team slammed into the defenders' formation, knocking the soldiers in the first row directly into their backs. Immediately after that, these leading berserkers began to wield their greatswords and axes, these powerful weapons, these warriors danced like windmills, and the soldiers of the defenders in the front row only launched a weak resistance, and they were completely defeated, and the berserkers' swords and axes were broken arms and stumps everywhere, and there was a bloody rain.

The enemy officers drove their soldiers up from the walls at either end of the city to intercept them, but soon the berserkers who followed them met them and forced them back.

Several of the enemy's mid-level and low-level fighting warriors had to come out to fight, but the most ordinary berserkers were at least low-level levels, and in the case of madness, their physical fitness was even more crushing the low-level fighting warriors, and soon five or six fighting warriors were overwhelmed by the overwhelming berserkers. Even the two mid-level warriors were frightened by the berserkers' siege that did not cost their lives. They tried their best to kill two berserkers and severely wound the other two, but soon more berserkers rushed up with a roar despite the death of their companions, and these people were mixed with the masters of the berserkers, and the two mid-rank were besieged by the berserkers from all sides, and soon they were struck in the back, lost their combat power, and were chopped into pieces by the mad berserkers.

The battle lasted only fifteen minutes, and the berserkers had broken through the enemy's lines, slain the enemy's masters, and began to storm the city. There were no more enemies left in the gap and the two surrounding walls, only the remnants of the defeated army that were running in all directions in fear.

After the first berserkers stormed the city, they remained in a state of frenzy, and they did not stop, and pursued the enemy who had collapsed.

Along the way, they mercilessly wipe out everything that comes their way.

Behind them, five hundred ordinary warriors followed and began to charge. They had kept their distance from the berserkers before, fearing that these crazy people would suddenly turn around and slash at them.

It wasn't until the berserkers had finished the battle and jumped off the walls that they followed and rushed up the gravel slope.

About fifty of these warriors were veterans with sufficient training and experience, and the others were farmers and townspeople who had recently joined Selinda's army. Urged and driven by officers and veterans, they tremblingly climbed up the gap and rushed towards the remnants of the enemy.

Selinda's men found no ambushes or traps in the city, so after thirty minutes, she sent a second team of 1,000 men to consolidate the victory.

When several officers sent people out of the city to report that the overall situation in the city had been decided, Selinda and Li Jia climbed the city wall under the escort of personal guards.

At this time, the whole city was full of smoke, and although the fighting was coming to an end, the killing was not over. A gust of wind blew from within the city, bringing with it a mixture of blood and burnt, as well as screams and wails.

Selinda held on to the stone on the battlements and said to Li Jia: "See, this is the power of a berserker." Such warriors fought for us regardless of life and death, and if they were not rewarded properly, how could they be worthy of their bravery? ”

In the battle just now, Li Jia could see it clearly from the mage's eyes. When watching these berserkers fight, the scene of swords entering flesh and blood splashing made even his blood boil.

But thinking that these soldiers had now rushed into the city, and they were treating the civilians in the city in the same way, Li Jia felt that he had a sense of suffocation.

At this time, Selinda said: "Come with me to the City Lord's Mansion, they have reported that they have captured the coward lord, I will go and see his face with my own eyes, and then hang him." ”

"No, I want to walk around the city. Look...... Is there anything else that has slipped through the net?" Li Jia said.

Selinda looked at him and the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and said, "Okay!"
