Chapter Eighty-Five: The Blocker Thunders

All the members of the Potato Mercenary Regiment were stunned by the thunderous roar, and when they looked back in the direction of Riverside Castle, they found that everyone was looking in the same direction, which was Riverland Castle.

Fei De subconsciously touched the moon shield with his hand, and only after finding that there was no unusual reaction, did he calm down - the last time the sharp birdsong was made by the life weapon, which made all the soldiers fall into madness, and at this time, there was suddenly such a loud noise that spread throughout the entire river area, it was really incredible.

"It's the 'thunder' that Captain Satnam said. Feder muttered to himself.

The crowd slowly approached the direction of the riverbank, standing as high as they could, trying to see what was causing the loud noise. It wasn't long before there was another loud thunderous bang, only this time it was heard by all—it went from small to loud in seconds, and finally like a lightning strike on the ground, it made a deafening sound.

And in addition to the sound, Fidel and his party also saw something clearly.

A circular "ball" with a radius of nearly two meters rolled out from the direction of the castle between the rivers. The ball rolls so fast that it looks like a marble popped out with your fingers, and it rolls quickly on the grass in front of the castle to the riverbank. The mercenaries who were chasing the soldiers of the East Oguna Empire tried to dodge the attack of the ball, but many of them were unable to dodge and were run over by the huge ball, which turned into meat sauce in an instant. After taking a closer look, Fidel and the captains around him realized that the ball was actually a large stone, but it was relatively smooth and polished, like a large ball.

And those mercenaries who were still chasing were immediately attacked by the balls that continued to pop up from the direction of the riverside castle. These balls that eject at high speed look very thick and hard, but they are so fast that even the fastest horses cannot keep up with the rolling speed of the balls. The key point is that the direction of the riverwall castle can fire several of these shock balls in a short period of time, and if you want to launch a frontal attack on the riverbank castle built on a high place with the back of the split mountain range, I am afraid that no siege weapon can get close to it.

Many soldiers of the Kingdom of Salins who saw the "thunder" of the weapons defending the city subconsciously picked up their shields and blocked them in front of them. Although the round stones could not hit the river bank for such a long distance, the river castle built on a high place had the advantage of being condescending, and the huge balls that were ejected could easily hit down a certain slope. Even if you use the long shields of the kingdom's infantry to form a defensive shield array, it is impossible to resist it. The only thing that can be done is to determine the landing point of these extremely fast stones, which only need to be fired at intervals of more than ten seconds, and then immediately move their bodies to dodge.

Deputy Commander Rashad swallowed his saliva as he saw some of the mercenaries being knocked into the air by round stones because they couldn't dodge, and his newly bandaged arm ached. He and Satnam had known about the defensive weapon built in the rivercastle, but what he didn't expect was that the rivercastle would be able to use it so perfectly—the right slope, the endless and minable stones that cut through the mountains, and the walls that could only be attacked on two sides.

All these conditions make the riverbank castle very strong, and it is impossible to attack the city head-on, no wonder Archbishop Arthur Auerbach wants to reach an armistice with Viscount Hollis, it turns out that the castle's defensive ability is the key to all problems.

The mercenaries of the Church Alliance immediately rushed back from the slope, and the balls behind them began to decrease, and when the mercenaries who saw the wind and made the rudder retreated to the riverbank, there were a total of eight balls fired from the castle between the rivers, the weapon of the city's defender, "Thunder".

Feder believed that it was impossible to mine and polish so much of the boulder in a short period of time, so the ammunition for these weapons could not be wasted. However, there has been no war in the Riverland for many years, and with Viscount Hollis's ability, there must be a lot of this stone ammunition preserved in the Riverland Castle. If the Church Alliance were to attack from the front, if the guy who could use the weapon of life used the weapon at the same time, no matter how many soldiers would go crazy, they would be hit by a huge stone ball and die.

Thinking of this, Fei De reluctantly turned around and stopped looking at the rivercastle in the distance.

At this time, some of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sallins had already found the body of the captain of the guard, Chedy, and they did not notice that the golden shield in Chedy's hand was missing, nor did they realize that Fid and Ayana had killed him. They all thought it was the soldiers of the Eastern Oguna Empire who had rushed to the rear of the large army and then engaged Chedy to kill them.

His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment hadn't pursued the retreating army much just now, and their leader, Marvin, had already mounted his horse in front of the Deputy Head of the Order, Rashad, "Your Excellency is Lord Rashad, the Deputy Head of the Knights of the Church? The pure purple plate armor worn by Malven was quite gorgeous, and it was very dazzling in the sunlight, so that the female knight chief Selena couldn't help but admire such gorgeous and valuable armor in her heart.

"That's right, thanks to the support of Deputy Commander Marven, who gave the emperor ** a fatal blow, and now the victory of this battle between the rivers has come into our hands. Rashad said to Marvern, supported by two knights of the Church.

"Since we have allied with the Papal Congress, of course it is a matter of duty to come to support this time," Marvin sat on his horse, and his lofty attitude made Rashad feel very unhappy, "It's just that we are late because of some obstacles, and I believe that the archbishop, the pope, and even the head of Satnam, who was not present, will be considerate of us." The elite knights behind him were all on their toes, and even the war horses under their crotch raised their heads slightly, which was very imposing.

Rashad didn't say much to Malven, he just said that the archbishop and the pope were now in the city of Crafe, and hoped that the members of His Majesty's knightly mercenary regiment would come to the city to see him. Although Marvin expressed in a very polite tone and attitude that he very much wanted to meet with the archbishop and the pope, he had other tasks on his body and had to leave for the time being. He also stated that if the alliance of the Church League and the Kingdom of Sahlins marched towards Riverland Castle, they would definitely appear again to assist the Church Alliance.

Neither Rashad nor Selena figured out the intentions of this guy, could it be that the other party just came out and went through the motions? But just now, the soldiers of the East Oguna Empire were so frightened by these knights that they immediately ran away, there must be something that the emperor ** command was afraid of.

Big-nosed Van returned to Avi's side, and he picked up the dejected Avi. Sometimes Fan will feel that Avi is too weak, as a mercenary or soldier, death is the most common thing, this time it is Hughes who died, and next time it may be his own death, it should not be particularly strange.

As if he had heard the words of the big-nosed Fan, Avi said slowly: "Fan, if I can, I don't want to see any of my companions die. ”

"No," Big-Nosed Fan shook his head, he really couldn't understand Avi's naivety, "Since we are eating mercenary food and taking the employer's money, we should know that we will encounter such a dangerous situation at any time." ”

"But I don't really crave the money that was bought with blood. ”

"Since it's not for money, then don't be a mercenary. ”

"So what?"

Big-nosed Fan groaned for a moment, "How about the regular army for honor?"
