Al didn't wait long, and a few days later, in the early morning, before dawn, Al was woken up by a commotion, and woke Freeman up and ran up to the tower, where he found that a group of generals led by General Kleman were already standing on the tower for military deployment.

"Bertier, you prepare with strong archers, don't use arrows, that thing is useless against monsters. ”

"Yes!" replied a tall, thin, and somewhat deformed man with thick arms, Alexandre Bertier, the first marksman of the Snow Fortress and captain of the archers.

"Munse, take the first and second brigades to guard the archers, if any demonic beasts really climb the walls, drive them down. ”

A middle-aged man with a full beard and a calm and sophisticated look did not respond, but nodded silently. General Kleman, who knew his character well, didn't care either. This is Jean-Noy Monce, the captain of the Sword and Shield Soldiers.

"Victor, take your boys and get ready, and if there is a beast that the sword and shield soldiers can't deal with, you can go up. ”

"Order!" "Order!" a tall man standing as tall as a giant roared in response, he was covered in armor and grinned, and the horizontal flesh that was constantly shaking on his face showed the excitement in his heart, "I can finally fight a battle, and I can finally get a battle every day by training." This is Claude Victor, the captain of the hoplites.

General Kellerman looked at this rough man, and still a little uneasy, and admonished: "Don't let the soldiers get too excited, prepare while resting, you can't cope with a day's battle without resting in such heavy armor." ”

"Joseph, you take the rest of the soldiers as the general reserve. General Kellerman ordered another veteran soldier.

"Understood. The old soldier nodded calmly, without the excitement of longing for battle or the nervousness of the approaching battle, this was Jacques Joseph, the deputy defender of the Snow Fortress, also a veteran of battle.

"Oudino, the supplies are all right, right?"

"Rest assured, all the ordnance has been inspected a few days ago, and the ordnance for replacement and special preparation is in place, and there will be no delay in the battle. ", assured Quartermaster Charles Oudinot.

General Klerman nodded reassuringly, pressed his sword and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a long time since the Western Legion has fought a large-scale battle, and the heir of the Iron Thorn is here, don't let the name of the Duke be disgraced." The West will win!"

"The West will win!" the generals agreed. They scattered to make final preparations.

Al, who didn't want to disturb the military meeting, stepped forward and greeted everyone. After a few days of getting along, Al also had a nodding friendship with the generals, and he was bold and humble, and he still won the favor of many people.

"Master El, you're here. A flirtatious voice came, and a man in a military uniform with a pompous face who looked like he was more a gentleman than a soldier gave Al an exaggerated aristocratic etiquette.

Al couldn't help but have a little headache when he saw this guy, and when he saw him, Al always remembered Medea, that person, woman. Joathand Murat, a son of a broken nobleman, captain of the cavalry. Don't despise him because of his unstinting appearance, Murat's riding and spearmanship are recognized as the strongest in the Snow Fortress. Perhaps because of Murat's character, Al is the most familiar with him.

Howls rang out from outside the city. El leaned out of the city wall and took a look, gasping for air, but in one night, a dense number of demonic beasts gathered outside the Snow Fortress, as if the entire demonic beasts of the Sorrowful Snow Field had gathered.

"Don't worry, Young Master El, you can't jump up to such a high city demonic beast. Murat's languid voice came.

Al glanced at him, "Everyone is so busy, why are you the only one so busy?" ”

Murat shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "This kind of cavalry team defending the city is useless, I can't help even if I want to." Murat's face became serious when he mentioned the war, "Don't worry about the defense of the city, what you have to worry about is the field battle later." ”

Al nodded: "It's too unfortunate that the beast tide came this time, it is the time of spring ploughing, and the legion can't let these demonic beasts entrench in the wild, and the whole western realm will be hungry for a whole year by mistake." It is imperative to go out of the city to clean up. ”

As soon as Al's words fell, several different howls rang out one after another from the demonic beasts outside the city. As if hearing a military order, a large group of demonic beasts rushed towards the city wall. Unlike the orderly soldiers of the Western Frontier, these monsters obviously don't know how to arrange their troops, or run or jump, the beasts are scattered and stretch for thousands of meters to surround the entire snow fortress on all sides, and the snow and dust raised when running are like wolf smoke soaring into the sky, and the view from the city wall is spectacular. All kinds of howls were mixed and noisy, but most of them were winter wolves, and in a few moments these terrible creatures ran under the walls, and many of them began to scratch the bricks, and some of them even began to hit the walls with their heads. Compared to the Winter Wolf's helplessness, the ghost-faced monkey that followed the Winter Wolf climbed up the gap between the wall tiles, and these rock climbers living in the Weeping Mountains have a place here.

At the time of the attack of the monster, the experienced general Kellerman had already ordered the attack, "Trebuchet ready, put!"

Stones the size of a millstone continued to fall towards the running beasts, and many of them fell to the ground, splashing a large amount of snow and mud, and for a time smashed the field outside the city into a mess. But Warcraft are different from humans after all, these rocky and agile Warcraft with huge lethality to humans can easily dodge as long as they run two steps or jump. Although it seems to be a huge momentum, the results are extremely limited.

General Kellerman seemed to have been prepared for this, and when the monster ran to the city, he gave an unhurried order: "Archers, shoot!"

Captain Berthier led the archers and began to fire arrows. Most of the soldiers in the archer team came from the Orions of the West, and these excellent hunters used special strong bows, which required hundreds of catties of strength to pull, and with special wolf tooth arrows, they could even shoot larks down from the clouds. In fact, as the elite soldiers in the army, there are many strong elements in the archers, and the first marksman Berthier is jaw-dropping and can pull a bowstring of three hundred catties into a half moon!

With the shrill sound of arrows and bowstrings, the rain of arrows rained death on the herd. The thick and long wolf's tooth arrows can even create air waves in the air when they fall at such high speeds. The powerful kinetic energy makes the arrow penetrate the hard skull of the winter wolf, and in an instant, the blood dyes the snow-white hair red, and from the perspective of it, it looks like a red plum blossom in the blank snow, bloody and charming, cruel and beautiful.

The fall of a large number of winter wolves did not frighten these demonic beasts, but on the contrary, aroused their ferocity, and they rushed towards the city wall without fear of death. And the archers obviously couldn't maintain such a high intensity of archery, and after a while, the rain of arrows thinned out, and the city walls were suddenly crowded with demonic beasts.

"Get out of here, let go!" General Kellerman continued to order, methodically. Each roller cart was carried down the city walls by four sturdy soldiers. These round creatures are made of iron poured into large iron buckets, cast into oval shapes, and nailed spikes to the surface. The advantage is that it is extremely heavy and easy to manufacture, and the blacksmith shop of Snow Fortress has forged thousands of them day and night, but the disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of iron. Ordinary simmers had no effect on the strong Snow Beasts, and even if they fell from the twenty-meter-high city walls, they would only be beaten all over the place. Only this extremely heavy rolling cart can directly smash them to pieces, and the spiky rolling cart can also smash the legs and feet of some magical beasts that have no time to dodge when they fall and roll. Anyway, these monsters will not use these weapons, and when the beast tide recedes, they can also pick them up and waste them. A large number of rolling carts were thrown down, and a blood-stained clearing was immediately cleared under the city.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, some ghost-faced monkeys who were lucky enough not to be hit by the rolling cart climbed the city wall, and these monkeys "squeaked" and quickly climbed over the wall, and leaped towards the heads of nearby human warriors. The unprepared warrior's head was pounced, and before they could react, the ghost-faced monkey's strange tongue pierced through their foreheads and began to suck their brains with relish. These disgusting creatures typically bully the weak and fear the hard, they only dare to gather to prey on herbivores such as goats, and run away when they encounter winter wolves, snow leopards, etc., when in fact they are considered monsters solely because of their strange sword-like tongues.

Without waiting for the officers to give the order, the nearby sword and shield soldiers pounced on the ghost-faced monkeys. The comrades-in-arms were stimulated by the tragedy of sucking brain plasma, and the eyes of these big men were red. These well-trained warriors lined up in three columns on the city walls in a neat formation. Armed with light shields, they carefully shielded vital parts with their shields, especially the elusive tongues of the ghost-faced monkeys, and attacked the monkeys with their short swords. Let these ghost-faced monkeys jump up and down, tossing and turning to dodge the attack, and the sword and shield soldiers who have been training together for many years and cooperate with tacit understanding have uniform attack movements and make up for each other. It's like opening a net, no matter how clever the monkey is, it can't escape the fate of being hacked to death, as for the ghost-faced monkey's weak claws, will the men in the West care about these small wounds?

The smell of blood wafting through and the smashed corpses under the city spurred the beasts to go wild. There were a few more howls, several snow bears stood under the city, one snow bear actually lifted the other snow bear up, I don't know if it was because of the elemental tides, these monsters actually had some signs of intellectual enlightenment. In this way, two snow bears more than eight meters high set up a "beast ladder", and many winter wolves jumped directly onto the city wall along the body of the snow bear, even if they did not jump on the wall at first, they jumped on it. As a large number of winter wolves invaded the city walls, the western warriors on the front line suffered a large number of casualties at once.

It didn't take long for the battle to reach its climax!
