The battle ended more smoothly than Hodge had expected.

It was about the extent that the city defense army simply did not have time to integrate the team, plus the bronze dragon crossbow arrows broke up the formation of the city defense army, and Hera's sound blade storm showed a deterrent effect, and no one wanted to stand within the range of the storm and be stirred into mud.

Their will had been shattered by Hodge's tactics before the battle began, so the resistance was not fierce, and even though the lord of the city, Baron Lourdes, personally urged the city defenders to fight with whips and knives, the negative effects of cowardice were enough to cover the entire battle.

Hodge's Antler Bay team only paid the price of three dead and five wounded, and they crushed the 1,000-strong force lined up by the Wuhe City Defense Army, among which the number of soldiers who were actually killed and wounded by the Bronze Dragon Crossbow Arrow and the Sound Blade Storm did not exceed fifty.

There were as many as two or three hundred people who actually died, and most of them were trampled by their companions or horses in the process of fleeing, and the ranks were in disarray, and Baron Lourdes could no longer control the army, and retreated in the direction of the city lord's palace under the protection of a group of dead men who were truly loyal to him.

It doesn't matter if the city gate is broken, as long as he can retreat into the city lord's mansion, where the stone walls and iron gates are difficult to conquer for a while, he can write to the neighboring cities for help during this time, although Wuhe is a small city, but it also has a certain economic value for the Count of Aldan, and he will inevitably immediately deploy troops to relieve the siege.

Unfortunately, they didn't go far before they were stopped by a few galloping horses.

Hodge leaped off his tall horse and landed firmly on the ground.

"It's over, Baron Lourdes, I can accept your surrender, according to the agreement between the nobles, as long as the Count of Ordin gives a certain amount of money in exchange, you will be free, and of course, the ownership of this city will also belong to me. ”

Four dead men lined up in front, separating Loudd from Hodge, and Old Man Loudd sat in the saddle, panting thickly, his red beard and eyebrows shaking terribly.

"A deal between the nobles?" Rudd sneered, "you think I'm going to trust you? a man who brutally occupies Uhe despite the pact, a mongrel who hooks up with a filthy creature like a witch, wants me to believe that you will abide by the agreement of the nobility? I want me to believe that you will spare my life? Fuck off, go dream." ”

Hodge's face was as usual, and he grabbed the reins of the warhorse.

"I did want to give you a chance. ”

His voice became muffled.

"It's a pity that you wasted my kindness. ”

Lu De's heart was crossed, he pulled out a scimitar from the side of the saddle, held it in his hand, and shouted, "Charge me! Kill this evil intruder!"

It's time to fight for your life, and Hodge has made a mistake.

Rudd thought to himself that the little one, thinking that he had already won, was so arrogant that he brought only two horsemen to surround him, not including the witch who had made his heart palpitate.

Even if they still have the kind of crossbow arrows that can shoot burst flames in their hands, they can't be shipped normally at this distance, and their four dead soldiers all have knight-level physique and ability, as long as they rush in front of Hodge's body and enter the moment of sword fighting, the victory and defeat can be distinguished.

And the victory belongs to him.

The tide of battle can be reversed in an instant.

The corners of his mouth were already hooked into a smile, as if he had seen the handsome and beautiful young man in front of him being cut in two by his own scimitar, or stabbed into meat skewers by the dead man's cavalry spear.

Hodge looked at the dust and sand in front of him and the speeding cavalry, clenched his right hand into a fist, and struck a punch from afar.

Bang!

In fact, there was no sound, but anyone who witnessed this punch would probably have a violent impact sound in their minds.

The four dead men and Baron Lourdes were thrown several meters away from their horses at the same time, and fell to the ground, and the horses fell to the ground, twitching their hooves and neighing in pain.

And the four who fell off their horses were not much better, even though they were wearing heavy armor, they still felt the burning heat in their bodies, the power of action was deprived in an instant, and the only strong feeling was pain.

Under the armor, their skin quickly sunken inward, and many internal tissues were directly necrotic due to burning, and the nerves all over the body were greatly obstructed, unable to function normally at all, and the thick blood vessels could not escape, gradually twisting into a charred black color.

In the end, the five of them looked horrible and fell to the ground in an exaggerated posture of pain, their faces and skin completely sunken into their bones, and their whole bodies turned into charred and yellowish colors.

"Clean up. ”

Hodge turned on his horse, gave an order to the two cavalrymen who accompanied him, and dragged the reins of his horses to the city gates.

At this time, under the deterrence of the other Antler Bay soldiers and Hera, the city defense army of more than 1,000 people honestly stood in the corner of the wall, and many people in the residential houses near the city gate opened their small windows to take a look at the situation outside, and quickly pulled down the windows, afraid that they would be implicated.

After seeing the tragic situation of the city defense army, these residents generally understood that Wuhe City was about to change, and as for whether it would be brought to people at the bottom like them, it depended on the mood of the people in power themselves.

"Your Excellency. Jackman urged the horse to come close to Hodge, who was one of the captains of the city gates in Antler Bay, the highest-ranking of the fifty men who followed Hodge, and who was responsible for the actions of the fifty men until Hodge gave specific orders.

"We have made a rough count just now, and there are about 1,147 people standing here in Wuhe City Defense. ”

"Good. Hodge nodded, dragging his horse around the array of a thousand men, and with Hera's mastery of sound, he could make his voice reach the ears of every city defender with incredible clarity, even if he didn't roar loudly.

"Just now, Baron Lourdes has been confirmed dead, which means that everyone present, you have lost your allegiance. Hodge deliberately said it in a very flat tone, and the more bland the current situation is, the more convincing he can be.

"You now have two choices, or submit to my command and be the loser in the war, and this option is the best for you, because I don't mind who you are the loser. ”

Hodge swept from the head to the end of the thousand-man line, making his voice even heavier.

"Or you can choose to avenge your dead lord, but you will follow him. ”

"Heretics, the victory achieved by relying on the power of the evil witch is also worthy of our allegiance?" In the center of the line, a middle-aged soldier threw down his helmet and bowed his head and spit, "Don't think that force can conquer everyone, at least you are not worthy of my Jenov's allegiance!"
