"General, the barbarians have withdrawn!"

Tuze stood atop the crumbling walls of the Mudstone City and watched the slowly retreating barbarians below, taking the corpses of their tribesmen, but discarding the corpses of the swamp peoples' surrendered armies in the trenches, by the craters, and under the walls.

This is the fifth time in seven days that the barbarians have launched an attack on Mudstone, since the last time Livitt had taken half of the garrison of Mudstone City under the pretext of defending the royal city, there had been no reinforcements from the rear, and the Bracadans, who were about to ravage the land of Tataria, did not appear, and they were devastating by the barbarian army that had arrived from the rear when they had just entered the Enrith swamp.

The melee lasted two days and two nights, and Christine's bulky ballistas and trebuchets could not be carried out on the narrow and cramped terrain of the swamp, and Bracada's army was huddled in the muddy swamp because of the haste of the battle, and the barbarian legions with the swampmen as guides rushed at Christine with thunderous rage and hatred of the country.

The beast tamers let the eagle owl and the ptarmichor carry the orc warriors into the air, the sharp axes rained down on the heads of the Bracada, the ogre mages unleashed a mass rage on the hungry wolf knights and the goblin legions, and the humble creatures instantly became red-eyed and extremely brave, at first because of the support of the mage group, the Brakkadians also put up a rather stubborn resistance, because in their hearts the barbarians had completely failed, and these people in front of them were just the remnants of the souls wandering in the wall peak.

But when Tanan appeared in the sight of Christine and Brandon standing on the back of the Beamon Behemoth, the Bracadas were completely devastated, and the Barbarian hero rushed into Christine's middle army first, and behind him were the newly promoted generals who were loyal to him, and under the sharp claws and savage charge of the Beamon Behemoth, the Bracada army was torn apart like a soft piece of tofu.

The spearmen had their heads smashed, the marksmen had their arms torn off, the griffons were disemboweled in the air by the Thunderbirds and Eagle Owls, the swordsmen shouted that the charge of the Wizard King was more like suicide, and the red-robed archmages who were worshipped as gods by the people at the bottom could not stop the wrath of the barbarians, who were torn to pieces by the Beamon Behemoth and the Ogre, and then rushed to eat.

In the end, less than a tenth of the 40,000-strong army escaped, and Christine, who saw that the situation was wrong, decisively left his beautiful concubine, and disappeared into the fleeing crowd on a horse alone, but was shocked to find that Brandon, an archmage wearing a gray cloak on his left, looked at each other with a wry smile, even if he left this bloody land, the sky of Bracada shrouded by the majesty of Gwen-Magnus would not be too bright for the defeated generals.

Tanan did not rest on his defeat of the Bracadas, and he marched into the depths of the swamp along the established route of Christine, asking the Swampers to open their gates to him and join him in resisting the tyranny of the Wizard King, and when he refused, he immediately turned into a bloodthirsty demon.

Within a few months, Tanan had already captured four fortresses that stood in his way, and if the generals or armies stationed there refused to leave Queen Thales's rule and fall under his command, they would be immediately bloodily purged and slaughtered.

This situation continued until half a month ago, Tanan drove with an army of 80,000 barbarians and swamp people to the mudstone city where Tuze was stationed, and the captain he sent Grancell, as in the past, made a request to Tuze to surrender, but Tuze unceremoniously refused him.

The battle began, but it was more difficult than the Krurodians had imagined.

Tuze introduced a black oil mixture (oil) from the bottom of the swamp to the moat, and it was highly toxic, leaving the Barbarians' ground troops to stand in front of the moat, which was eight meters wide, and looked at the water, but there was no place to stay—the intense poisonous water would corrode anything that came into contact with it, including the barbarians' rafts and bridges made of bushes.

On the first day of the battle, Gnison used hundreds of siege crossbows captured from Christine, and he raised the front end of the ballista with bushes and boulders, so that the ballista could shoot upwards at the walls like archers, and the two-meter-long crossbow arrows were tied to the ends of thick hemp ropes to shoot at the female walls of the mudstone city, and many swamp warriors who could not escape were nailed directly to the boulder walls.

Then the Goblin Legion used their blades and whips to drive the puppet army that had attached to them up the ropes, and climbed like a tightrope up the straight hemp rope towards the walls of the Mudstone City, which was blocked by the poisonous smoke and bubbles of the moat, which prevented them from using the ladder.

When all the twine was crawling like grasshoppers, the barbarians' phalanx of trebuchets (also contributed by Christine) began to roar, and the boulders were covered with sharp thorns, which smashed into the female wall and exploded, and then the corpses and spikes began to reap the lives of the defenders on the wall like bullets.

Tanan ordered his beast tamer general Shiva to take the orcs up the mud city again, and the sharp axe blades kept falling on the unhidden soldiers in the aisles of the city wall in the miasma rising from the swamp, some of them were cut off and let out a scream, and some of them were directly cut off half of their heads, and when all this happened, there were wails from the soldiers defending the city, and the mossy female wall was soon covered with a layer of dark red bloody gas, and the broken corpses were exposed on the city walls, but the barbarians were not subjected to any large-scale counterattack。

This made Gnison feel that it was almost the same, it was just as easy as the previous battles, as long as the puppet army climbed the wall and lowered the drawbridge, the battle was over.

These lowly swamp people always showed how loyal they were to Talus before the battle, and then chose to surrender as soon as they saw the might of Krulrod after the battle.

"Shh

Gnison spat at his feet to show his disdain for these cowards.

A few minutes later, the expelled werewolves and lizardmen climbed the walls of the mudstone city, but to Gnison's surprise, there were no fierce shouts of killing on the walls, but it didn't matter, maybe the swampmen had already been frightened by the first round of attacks, they always did.

Sure enough, after a few more minutes, with a rattling sound of bearings rolling, the heavy suspension bridge of Mudstone City was slowly lowered.

The gates are wide open!

"Attack!"

Gnison swung his long knife forward, and the barbarian legions roared and rushed towards the drawbridge, led by the Hungry Wolf Knights, who were the fastest and always the bravest, and the Goblin Legion close behind.

Behind the city gate, a shadowy swamp army began to appear, and it seemed that the generals of Mudstone City finally remembered to organize a hurried resistance, and rows of lizardmen warriors began to shoot at the barbarians, and the poisonous arrows easily reaped the lives one by one.

But it was too late, the hungry wolf knights were very fast, and they rushed to the city gate like a black whirlwind, but fortunately, the beast tamer who arrived later commanded the huge swamp monitor lizard to join the battle, blocking the raging barbarians at the door.

There was a large open space under the mudstone city, large enough to accommodate thousands of warriors stationed together, and the hungry wolf knights withstood the counterattack of monitor lizards and lizardmen, and then more goblins poured into the small square at the city gate, but just when Gnison thought that the situation was decided, a large number of lizardmen suddenly appeared on the female wall, and they shot the flaming arrows in their hands into the moat without hesitation.

"No!"

Gnison was stunned, and a fire rose from the moat.

The huge drawbridge was engulfed in flames almost instantly, including a large number of goblins and a small number of ogres still crowded on the drawbridge, and at the same time, dozens of black shadows began to rise rapidly in the rear of the mud city, and the roaring swamp wyverns launched an attack on the eagles hovering in the air, and there were even a few Wyvern Kings among them.

Eagle owls and thunderbirds carrying orcs on their backs could not fight effectively, because as long as they dodged or attacked a little wider, the orcs on their backs would scream and fall to the ground, walls and moats, and in desperation, Shiva had no choice but to retreat for the time being, and the wyverns did not pursue, but pounced on the barbarian soldiers surrounded by fire and warriors at the gate square.

It was a massacre.

Gnaison could hear the screams and screams coming from the distance and the tumbling flames, and after a few minutes it was all calm, and through the flames he could vaguely see corpses being thrown into the moat.

Thousands of barbarian warriors, although they are the lowest hungry wolf knights and goblins, but they are also barbarian warriors, and they are gone.

Just as Gnison was about to give the order to attack, there was a clarion call for retreat from behind him, and it was obvious that the leader had seen all this, and the heavy horn seemed to carry a heavy disappointment.

"Retreat!"

Gnison threw his long knife into the dirt in front of him, the first time he had given such a humiliating order since entering Tartaglia, but what he didn't know was that it was just the beginning.

Just as the barbarian army turned around and was about to enter the swamp, a dense black shadow suddenly appeared on the walls of the mudstone city again, and a large number of poisonous flies and dragon flies, under the command of the beast tamers and the blessing of berserk magic, rushed towards the barbarians' trebuchet team desperately.

These monsters, which are more than one meter long (two meters long and two meters long), desperately launch suicide attacks on dozens of trebuchets, and when the hurried orc and ogre armies have slaughtered these monsters, they have no choice but to find that these trebuchets are running out.

Gnison looked back at the wall in grief, only to meet a tall figure's gaze.

One is angry and furious, the other is resolute and resolute.

My name is Tuze.

Impregnable.
