Chapter Seventy-Eight: Catch Monta First
Fed saw more than 400 two-handed swordsmen behind Marcus and Matthews striding towards the city gate in the darkness of the distance, and he immediately told Greif to lower the drawbridge.
Greif pulled the chain-attached drawbridge switch with all his might, and even a man as strong as him had to pull it with all his might. Seeing this, Fei De immediately ran down and helped him lower the drawbridge together.
As soon as some of the soldiers of the Kosai Kingdom patrolling the city walls noticed this situation, they immediately let the bell tower of the castle run to the castle and sound the alarm. Some of the soldiers standing at the back of Disha Castle also quickly noticed the emergency at the front gate and began to rush in the direction of the front gate of the castle.
"Turn around and attack in the direction of the front door!" some of the soldiers shouted to the man in control of the trebuchet, and the trebuchet began to slowly change direction, throwing wood at the two-handed sword mercenaries who were rushing straight ahead.
It's just that Marcus and Matthews ran very fast, and they ran to the side of the drawbridge in one fell swoop, and the logs flying in the air had long been left behind. Some of the soldiers stood on the ramparts, picked up their bows and arrows, and shot at the drawbridge, and a few of the two-handed swordsmen were shot by the flying arrows and fell off the moat, and many of the logs thrown by the trebuchets were knocked out of the air.
"I'll go back and get my harpoon first. Greif still remembered the three-pointed harpoon he had placed under the bed in the soldier's quarters, and without that huge weapon, it was like his hands were being restrained.
"It's too dangerous now," a few of the quickest reactive Kingdom soldiers had already run to the main entrance drawbridge switch and ran into Feld and Greif, but Greif picked one up in one hand and threw them far away. And Fed, with a short sword in each hand, used the techniques that Patrick had taught him to easily knock down those confused soldiers, "I'll take back the black plate armor and go with you later." "Actually, Fed's heart is to attack the center of the castle alone, catch Sir Monta first, and then the rest of the things will be easy.
From the bandit leader to Burns, from the ship's Assassin leader to James, every time Felder thought of capturing the thief and capturing the king first. Although the effect of this is good, he chooses to be in danger every time, but he lacks the temperament and consciousness of a leader. In fact, his uncle Evan saw this early on, but Fed did not choose to follow Evan back to Mallot, starting as an officer.
Seeing that things had changed, Andrew's legion at the rear of the castle immediately sent Alain's archers forward, shooting arrows into the castle without stopping, and the other troops rushed up and set up ladders on the stone road where there was no river.
The trebuchets in the inner city saw that they were attacked on both sides, and for a moment they could not care so much, and when the mercenaries on both sides approached the city walls, these bulky assault weapons lost their effectiveness and became ornaments.
Marcus and Matthews were the first to rush into the castle, Marcus was holding the "Black Flash" in his hand, he threw it to Field, "You are not as heavy as you think, hurry up and put it on and fight together!" In fact, it was because of the light spar, although the black plate armor was lighter, but Fielder occasionally found that the originally pitch-black plate armor began to become less jet black.
Some of the other two-handed swordsmen who rushed to the castle made their way to the walls and slay the archers, while others stormed the soldiers' quarters and the alleys of the castle to fight with the Kosai soldiers who had turned back to guard the gates.
Fed put on the "Black Flash" and said to Greif with two short swords in his hand, "Let's go, let's go get the harpoon first, and then we'll go to the inner city." Both of them ran barefoot and ran as fast as they could, and soon recovered the three-pointed harpoon that had been hidden under the bed.
Although Keth and Carrie were named Captain Alain's personal crossbowman guards, they stood further back than Alain, and the range of the crossbow was so limited that they had to stand on the periphery and watch the other squadrons attack the city.
"These guys, I don't want to die for them!" "Big Nose Fan was mixed in with the spearmen besieging the city, he just looked at the arrows flying from the sky, and used his iron gun to block them, even if a partner next door was shot, he was indifferent, and looked for a safe position on the battlefield by himself.
On the contrary, the regimental commander Andrei took the lead, the first to climb the ladder, climb over the battlements and rush in. He waved "Silence", and even without wearing any heavy armor, he was invincible, and no soldier could stop his advance, and he fell to the ground.
The less than 700 soldiers in Disha Castle had always prided themselves on their fortifications, but the hand-to-hand combat in the middle of the night was no match for the fierce mercenaries, who had either just woken up and panicked, or had lost their way in the darkness of the night and were killed in an instant. The back door of Disha Castle was suddenly opened by the mercenaries of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment who had climbed over the city wall, and the more than 5,000 people poured in, unstoppable.
Fidel and Greif found a shortcut and stormed the inner city, which was poorly garrisoned, and most of the soldiers were stationed on the outskirts of the castle while they fought a mercenary ten times their size.
"All we have to do is catch that Sir Monta, and the others won't be a problem. Fed said to Greif, who spun and waved a huge harpoon in his hand, and no guard could get close.
There was now a man lying on the ground in the hall of the castle, it was Sir Monta, lord of the castle, but he was already very drunk, and snoring loudly, like a big fat pig that was well fed and sleeping.
Fed kicked open the door to the lord's hall and handed over the guards behind him to Greif. It's just that at this time, Viscount Monta, who was still lying on the ground, was not aware of the danger around him at all, and was still asleep.
In the evening, Sir Monta thought that the mercenaries had been discouraged by his strict defenses, so he brought out the food and wine and feasted on him.
One of the knights, wearing full-body chain mail, propped up the dining table with both hands, drew the long sword at his waist, stood up and said, "Who are you! How dare you go straight to the lord's banquet!" The knight shook his head when he spoke, and he probably drank several pounds of wine, and he couldn't even stand up straight, so he had to stick the long sword pointed at Fielder on the ground to support his body.
The other knight also tried to stand up, but as soon as he tried to speak, he couldn't help but vomit the contents of his stomach, and he was embarrassed.
None of these guys seem to be able to fight. Feder thought to himself, and he slowly walked towards Sir Monta, who was lying on the ground in a silver-rimmed aristocratic robe, and he looked at the viscount, whose belly was bulging and his breath was still rising and falling, and he instantly lost interest in killing the other party.
Feder looked around, and except for some shivering maids hiding in corners, there were only seven drunken knights in armor and a sleeping lord, and he had no choice but to throw his two short swords on the ground and walk over to one of the servants.
"Go get me some thicker rope. Fidel said to the other with a blank face.
And the woman who had already been frightened and sat on the ground immediately nodded: "Don't kill me, I'll go." ”
Greif had also cleared out the miscellaneous soldiers outside and walked into the lord's hall. Seeing the situation here, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It seems that you have made the wrong choice, you should look for an opponent in the castle instead of taking care of this mess here." ”
