Chapter 474: Capture the City

Just when a fierce battle attracted most of the attention, outside Rexburg, not far from the city of Panon, a group of heavily armed warriors was ushered in. Since most of the troops were transferred to the vicinity www.biquge.info of the Main River, the guards in Rexburg were not too strong, and the original three squadrons of nearly 1,000 people were now only one squadron of more than 300 people.

At this time, everyone thought that the Pritz Army was at war with the Knights of the Sect of Light, and the news of the fall of Panon City had not yet arrived, so the atmosphere in Rexburg at this time was still relatively relaxed. The soldiers on duty were all chatting and farting in the barracks, and even the soldiers who were on duty at the castle were lazy and listless.

Since the main force had been withdrawn, the captain of the garrison, Louis Black, was the supreme commander of Rexburg, and he was patrolling the castle beneath his feet as the morning sun rose. Of course, most of his mind was also thinking about what kind of fun he would have when he went down to the city later.

Just as Captain Louis Black was about to descend the stairs on one side, a reflection of sunlight suddenly flashed in the distance, which happened to be reflected in Louis Black's eyelids. Louis Black subconsciously blocked it with his hand, still thinking in his heart how could something reflect such a strong sunlight?

Thinking of this, Louis Black's heart suddenly moved, and the whole person quickly leaned on the city wall and looked out, only to see a group of heavily armed hoplites pouring out of the woods in the distance, the burly and tall figure, strong and powerful arms, and the round shield in his hand that reflected the light in the sun, and a spear that stood towards the sky, which was completely different from the equipment of the Paris Imperial Army, which made Louis Black feel terrified.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, close the gates, close the gates!" Captain Louis Black shouted at the city with his own strength. The team of hoplites in the distance seemed to notice that Rexburg had begun to be alert, and they didn't care to hide their whereabouts, and one by one they threw off their steps, and their legs ran wildly towards Rexburg's side like a windmill.

Louis Black is very glad that he is not lazy, and he is very grateful that Lady Luck is still on his side at the most critical moment. As a result of his timely warning, the two heavy gates of Rexburg were closed in time, and the soldiers on duty began to dress up the city walls.

Although the defenders of Rexburg had made a complete defensive posture, the enemy soldiers outside still strode over, seemingly completely unconcerned about the threat of the Rexburg defenders.

"Bow and arrow ready! When the enemy enters the firing range, they will be thrown immediately!" Seeing the unknown enemy soldiers in the distance wearing heavy armor but running as fast as galloping horses, that strong physical strength made Louis Black's heart tighten.

As a veteran soldier who has been in the army for many years, Louis Black has participated in the Orc invasion and counterattack, and has seen the majestic posture of the powerful armies of various countries on the battlefield, as well as the strong physical fitness and fierce combat methods of the orcs. But to be able to run fast in heavy armor and with a large shield like these enemy troops outside Rexburg at this moment, Louis Black realized that these soldiers must have come from an extraordinary background.

If it had been encountered in the wild, Louis Black could have assured that his 300-strong men would have been wiped out if they could not put up any effective resistance. But now the heavy castle at his feet gave Louis Black a sense of security, and although the walls were not too high, they were enough to ensure that the enemy troops who did not have any siege equipment could do anything about them.

When the defenders of Rexburg breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the enemy army did not have any siege weapons, the soldiers armed with the giant round shield held the round shield horizontally above their heads, shielding the arrows that were constantly being thrown, and rushed straight to the bottom of the walls of Rexburg.

Just when the garrison soldiers secretly laughed in their hearts that the enemy troops rushed to the city and could not enter, a terrifying scene appeared.

I saw that the heavily armed soldiers running in the first row stopped and half-knelt on the ground, the round shield was still held high above their heads, and the row of soldiers behind them strode forward, holding the spear in their hands on the ground hard, jumping high like a pole vault, and landing on the round shield of the soldiers in the front row.

With a roar: "Sparta!"

The soldiers in the front row, who were half-kneeling on the ground, pushed their shields up in unison, and the soldiers who landed on the shields took advantage of the force to leap into the air again and jump straight towards the walls of Rexburg.

This kind of relay jumping method to attack the city is simply unheard of and unseen, and the garrison soldiers of Rexburg look at the heavily armored soldiers who jumped over as if they were divine soldiers descending into the world, and their faces are all in disbelief.

Especially their garrison captain Louis Black, after seeing this kind of city-jumping attack again, the first reaction in his mind was that it was too, is this still human?

Where are the warriors in heavy armor who can walk and gallop horses? Where is the way to jump on the city walls to siege the city? Why don't you people play cards according to common sense when you fight?

The warm and uneager rays of the morning sun shone on these hoplites as if they had descended from the sky. In the air, they drew their swords from their waists, shouted, "Sparta!" and fell on the city.

The defenders reacted as if they had just woken up from a dream, but unfortunately the enemy could no longer climb the city wall, and the enemy hoplites waved a round shield in one hand and swept the surrounding defenders with a continuous slap, and the short sword in the other hand also continued to stab like a poisonous snake, almost every blow took the life of a soldier.

Louis Black also bravely launched a counterattack with his soldiers against the enemy troops who had jumped into the city, hoping to drive them out of the city when they were unstable. Unfortunately, his courage quickly faded with the appearance of the second and third groups of Spartan warriors who jumped on the walls.

He didn't want to die yet, he didn't want to die in this little fortress on the border of the empire.

The captain of the garrison, Louis Black, abandoned the city and fled, this news instantly destroyed the will of all the garrison soldiers to resist, and these enemy troops were indeed fierce, and they were simply not able to resist them, so the garrison soldiers immediately surrendered to the Spartans.

After the gates were opened, the majestic Spartan king Leonidas strode into the first castle taken by the Spartan warriors. Looking at the garrison soldiers who were escorted into platoons, Leonidas said with disdain: "You guys are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you have insulted the word soldier, so you are only worthy of being slaves of the Spartans!"
