Chapter 276: Raven
Out of the arrows!
The battle was fierce, and from time to time the corpses of the Salionian soldiers fell from the walls, and Uncle Peter pulled me and the Bill knight leaned over, and we had no intention of charging. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Soldiers from the 4th and 5th Squads and the 4th Brigade also joined the battlefield, and Baron Fred threw five ladders in one fell swoop, filling the entire southern wall!
The Raven Fort is built on the mountain, and only the north and south walls can pass through, and there are vertical cliffs in the east and west directions.
Baron Fred's assault did not yield much success, and more than three hundred Salion's soldiers charged four times, all of them reaching the top of the city but were quickly driven down, and the rogue knights and bandits seemed to suffer some casualties, but certainly much smaller than us.
After all, the advantage of occupying the city wall is too great!
"Plop!"
A corpse fell in front of me, and I recognized him as the second to follow Knight Kidd that day
Sergeant Major Sigmon, squadron leader of the first squadron of the brigade!
The fifth charge was also repulsed, and I didn't even have time to die for Sergeant Major Sigmunt
Silence.
Baron Fred finally gave the order to blow the horn of retreat.
"Woooooo
The Salion soldiers faded like a tide, and the mercenaries ran back desperately, one of the five ladders was completely destroyed, and one was pushed away by the bandits.
It collapsed on the ground, and no one looked back.
Just when I thought that today's battle was coming to an end, the horn of the attack suddenly sounded again!
The rapid sound of the horn stopped me, and in fact the mercenaries and the Sarion soldiers of the 3rd and 4th Battalions had retreated to the edge of the woods.
I saw the Iron Sword Kudan Adventure Regiment and the soldiers of the 2nd Brigade rushing towards the walls of Raven Castle at great speed!
We quickly retreated into the woods on either side and made way for us.
Known as the 'Iron Sword', Commander Kudan led a hundred armored mercenaries to charge with incredible speed!
They climbed up the city on three ladders and fought fiercely against rogue knights and bandits!
The morale of the soldiers of the second brigade was still high, dozens of crossbowmen remained under the city to suppress, and more than a hundred regular soldiers of the Saarion Army followed the mercenaries and launched an attack on the Raven Castle!
"Good opportunity! Taking advantage of the fact that the rogue knights' physical strength has been consumed, the Baron deserves to be born in the Lion Knights!"
Sergeant Gregory said as he looked feverishly at Baron Fred on his horse at the bottom of the mountain.
I didn't think much about it, I just thought that I should lead the mercenaries to charge again.
Uncle Peter, Jorgdorf, Bill, and Lake leaned against me, and more than seventy of the mercenaries from the five squads survived, and we didn't immediately retreat down the hill with the third and fourth brigades.
I kept a close eye on the head of the Raven Castle, and after Kudan climbed to the top of the city, he threw away his big shield, wielding a huge two-handed sword in both hands, and I don't know how many enemies he had killed, and behind him, the mercenaries of the 'Iron Sword' Kudan Adventure Regiment screamed and swarmed forward!
From beginning to end, even though the head of Raven Castle was already in a white-hot battle, 'Sir Raven' Boris never appeared.
The resistance of the rogue knights at the head of the city was very stubborn, but they were quickly beaten, and with a wave of Baron Fred's hand, the first brigade that had been recuperating for a long time also joined the battle!
The 3rd and 4th Brigades suffered heavy casualties, nearly half of them were wounded, and at this time they gathered around the Baron Yamashita to rest.
No one paid attention to our seventy or so mercenaries hiding in the woods, and there were indeed no more people under the walls of Raven Castle, so I was happy.
Less than ten minutes after the first brigade joined the battle, the city walls were completely under our control, and the mercenaries of the 'Iron Sword' Kudan Adventure Regiment and the soldiers of the second brigade had already slaughtered the Raven Castle!
The smoke on the city wall was 100 meters high, and the ground under the city wall was full of broken flags and weapons, and the corpses were stacked on top of each other, I am afraid that there were no less than 100 corpses!
Just when I thought the big picture was decided, a change struck!
"Reina, look over there!" Uncle Peter pointed to the foot of the hill, where a contingent of hundreds of cavalry was heading towards Baron Fred!
And beside Baron Fred, there were only more than forty guards and two infantry brigades that were exhausted and disabled!
"Damn! That must be 'Sir Raven' Boris!"
Sergeant Gregory's face instantly turned extremely pale, and he estimated that there were at least three hundred cavalry in the attack!
In fact, far more than that, just behind the more than 300 cavalry attacking, there were more than 200 heavily armed infantrymen, all of whom were carefully selected by Boris and collected from the entire western part of the Great Wasteland, and were named 'Raven Warriors' by Boris!
"Quick! go down to support Lord Baron!" I immediately made a decision, and rushed down with a crossed sword, the information was wrong, and there were definitely more than five hundred rogue knights under the command of 'Sir Raven' Boris!
There are more than 500 people around him now, plus those who stayed behind in Raven Fort and those who were killed by us before, it is no wonder that his total strength does not exceed 1,000!
The dense woods blocked our way down the mountain, and by the time we reached the bottom of the mountain, I saw that Boris, who was two meters tall and wearing a black armor and an iron helmet with a crow mask, had led more than 300 rogue knights into the crowd of the third and fourth brigades!
Although Baron Fred spotted the enemy at the first time and ordered the infantry to line up, the charge of more than 300 rogue knights quickly broke up the hastily formed formation of the Salion soldiers!
The rogue knights, faced with a dense infantry formation, launched a charge regardless of casualties, and had already lost eighty horses!
The casualties of the Sarion soldiers were even worse!
There were only more than fifty wounded Salion soldiers left to form a circle again, and with only Boris giving the order to charge again, the third and fourth brigades could be removed from the battle sequence of the northern commanders of the Kingdom of Sarion!
"Boris, shameful crow, I'm going to kill you with my own hands!"
Baron Fred was furious, he was actually tricked by Boris, a traitor, can he not be angry?
The lion horse felt the wrath of its owner, and it raised its front hooves and neighed towards the sky!
Baron Fred led forty cavalry guards and rushed towards Boris!
"Your Excellency, don't be in a hurry to leave when you come to the Great Wasteland, hahaha!"
Boris came from under the crow mask with an eerie strange laugh, and with a wave of his hand, the rogue knights behind him rushed towards Baron Fred!
The more than 70 mercenaries we led finally arrived at the battlefield and joined the circle of Saarion soldiers to fight with the more than 200 'Raven Warriors'!
The cavalry led by Baron Fred collided with the rogue knights!
"Bang!" Baron Fred's giant cavalry spear pierced through the two rogue knights in front of him in an instant!
Baron Fred threw off his riding spear, drew his lion knight's cross sword, and after only a dozen moves with the sword in both hands, seven rogue knights fell from their horses and died!
Between Baron Fred and Boris, there was no block.
"Come on, Baron, let me, the master of the Great Wasteland, entertain you well!"
"Betrayer, today is your death, I'm in a good mood, give you a ride!"
As they spoke, the two of them had already launched a charge!
At the moment when the two horses staggered, Boris jumped up from the horse's back, flashed the oncoming cross sword, landed on the back of Baron Fred's horse, and stabbed Baron Fred in the back with a backhand!
Clang!
Baron Fred was also very alert, and quickly turned around to block if he couldn't hit it, and the swords of the two collided together, and sparks flew everywhere!
"Roar!" Baron Fred jumped off his horse and threw away his helmet, his height in his early two meters was about the same as Boris's!
The two of you go back and forth, and in a few seconds, you will cut more than a dozen swords!
Baron Fred is still holding up, and our situation is not optimistic!
Although the soldiers of the first brigade found out that something was wrong and were rushing down the mountain to support, they could not quench their thirst from far away, and now our circle defense line was on the verge of collapse!
I'm sure the people who stayed behind in the Raven Fort were all guys with low combat effectiveness, at least not as many as the more than two hundred Raven Samurai!
This 'Sir Raven' Boris is really daring, he actually led the elite to abandon the castle and choose a sneak attack!
"Die!"
I broke through the block of the crow warrior in front of me with a single sword, and then stabbed him with a quick sword, and kicked him down with a kick, regardless of whether the sword stabbed him or not.
I took a few steps back, only to realize that there were still thirty mercenaries left, and with the Sarion soldiers, we were less than fifty!
The Raven Warriors had left behind more than fifty corpses, apparently not hurting their bones.
One hundred and fifty Raven Warriors surrounded us in the middle, and I felt the malice that came from the wasteland.
On the other side, Baron Fred became more and more courageous, forcing Boris to retreat step by step, and Boris dodged a cross slash from Baron Fred and quickly retreated ten steps away.
Baron Fred didn't chase after him, because he found himself surrounded by hundreds of rogue knights!
The baron's cavalry guards have all been killed!
"Baron, your subordinates are really powerful, killing so many crow knights that I have carefully cultivated over the years, what do you think I should do?!"
Boris took off his crow mask, revealing a handsome face that was contrary to his murderous name, God, this is a face that makes the noble ladies in the castle can't help but feel spring when they see it!
"Phew, a bunch of scoundrels, also worthy of being called knights?"
Baron Fred smiled disdainfully, although he was only one, he was not afraid of these hundreds of rogue knights! The cavalry guards under his command were all good, and each of them had killed at least three or more rogue knights!
These escort cavalry are all subordinate cavalry of the Royal Lion Knights of Sarion, and they prove the bravery of the Royal Lion Knights of Sarion!
"Maybe you don't look down on my Raven Knight, but you don't know that you, Baron Fred, will be a witness to the rise of my Raven Knights!"
With that, Boris waved his hand, hundreds of rogue knights, ah no, hundreds of crow knights!
The Raven Knights drew a spear from behind their backs in unison!
"Humph!"
Baron Fred shouted into the sky, and his blonde hair scattered without wind and floated in the air!
The already scarred plate armor on the baron's body was stretched by the swollen muscles, and a powerful aura gathered around him!
"Shoot!" Boris's handsome face distorted, the hundred spears he had smuggled from the kingdom of Livingston at great expense!
"Boom!"
"Bell, bell!"
Baron Fred swings his crosssword and slashes or knocks the flying spears flying!
"Boris, do you think that I can only become a baron to save the king? haha, you are so naïve, I can be named Baron of Biglen Town because..."
"Poof!" a spear pierced through the steel leggings and into the baron's left calf, and the baron's eyes widened in rage, and he slashed the spear with a sword.
"Because I'm an invincible drake-blooded warrior!"
The baron's roar resounded throughout the battlefield, and my heart was shocked, Baron Fred turned out to be a dragon-blooded warrior!
The baron's lion steed rushed behind the baron and blocked more than thirty spears from behind him!
The lion war horse's whole body was pierced by spears, and its blood-stained sideburns were just like angry lions!
A hundred throwing spears have been thrown, Baron Fred's cross-sword has been completely scrapped, and he has been hit by seven throwing spears, but none of them are injured!
Baron Fred glanced back at the lion horse lying in a pool of blood, old man, you are a lion!
"Boris! today I will show you the power of the Dragonblood Warrior!"
"Kill him! Whoever kills him will be the deputy head of the Raven Knights!" Boris instructed the Raven Knights to charge towards Baron Fred.
Boris was a little panicked, according to the plan he thought was perfect, killing the Baron today should have been a smooth thing, who would have thought that Baron Fred would be a dragon-blooded warrior!
Two Raven Knights stabbed their spears at the Baron, followed by a dozen swords!
Baron Fred ignored the trauma and grabbed the spear with both hands!
"Drink!"
The baron roared angrily, and forcibly picked up the two crow knights from their horses and threw them among the crow knights behind!
Two unlucky crow knights knocked down seven or eight companions, and two out-of-control war horses crashed into the baron, who spat out a mouthful of blood and stabbed out two spears with his backhand, killing the two crow knights behind him in an instant!
Baron Fred picked up two long knives casually, opened his bow left and right, and stubbornly blocked the swords attacking from all sides!
The baron became more and more courageous, and the crow knights suffered heavy casualties!
The First Brigade finally came down from Raven Castle to support, and we charged at the Raven Warriors, with Gregory at the front, with only one purpose, to break through the barriers and rescue Baron Fred!
The crow warriors had the upper hand in numbers, and they suppressed us to the death, and the chain mail on my body was scrapped, and my shoulder and lower abdomen were injured, although the wound was not deep, but the continuous spillage of blood was still very scary!
I gritted my teeth and retreated to the rear, and the Sarion soldiers rushed forward as if they were not dying, after all, according to the decree of the Kingdom of Sarion, the death of the commander in time for the rescue commander on the battlefield will be court-martialed!
What's more, he is still a baron with the identity of a dragon-blooded warrior who saved King Ulrik!
If the Baron is unfortunately killed in battle, the lightest treatment for these Salionian soldiers is imprisonment!
Officers above the squad leader, I'm afraid the punishment is a light sentence!
Jórdoff hurriedly bandaged me, and I looked around and saw that a familiar figure was missing.
Knight Ryker, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, was killed...
Uncle Peter and Knight Bill both had sad looks in their eyes, but now was not the time to weep sadly!
I took the still sharp crosssword and removed the iron helmet, which had been deformed by the collision and was useless.
I threw the iron helmet on the ground, and there were still a dozen mercenaries left beside me.
I calmly observed that the Saarion soldiers had broken through the Raven Warriors' defenses, and there were still more than a hundred Raven Warriors left, while the Saarion soldiers were only about seventy.
The shouting and killing in the Crow Fort on the mountain had long since stopped, and after discovering that there were no defenders in the inner fort, the captain of the second brigade and the 'Iron Sword' Kudan adventure group quickly returned after torturing the prisoners!
Wounded Sarion soldiers and mercenaries were left behind to guard and capture at Raven Castle, and more than a hundred fresh troops rushed down the hill despite their physical exertion!
I saw Captain Kudan and them running past me, fighting the Raven Warriors!
"Protect the Baron!"
I reminded the captain of the 2nd Brigade that he had just woken up from a dream and led the Sarion soldiers towards Boris!
I, on the other hand, join Captain Kudan and continue the unfinished battle with the Raven Warriors!
Ryker Knight in the Spirit of Heaven, bless me for killing all these murderers who killed you!
Boris apparently also spotted the arriving Salion soldiers, and seeing that Baron Fred was at the end of his crossbow, he was determined to kill Baron Fred before the Salion reinforcements arrived!
"Lord Baron!"
Sergeant Gregory exclaimed in surprise, and he watched as Boris changed into his men's war horses and rushed towards Baron Fred, who was covered in blood and covered with all kinds of weapons!
"Raven... Boris... Come on!"
Baron Fred seemed to suddenly inspire infinite power, and he rushed towards Boris head-on!
"Bang!"
The horse slammed into the baron, neighing in pain as if it had hit an iron wall!
A long sword pierced through the baron's chest, and a huge force pierced through the plate armor!
Boris has a fierce look on his face, can he finally kill you here?
The baron stretched out his huge hand and pulled Boris off his horse!
He didn't seem to see that his chest was pierced by the long sword!
"Haha!"
The baron laughed, and his tower-like body pressed against Boris!
The crow knight on the side stabbed out a dozen spears, easily stabbed through the badly damaged plate armor, and pinned the baron to the ground!
"Raven... You're strong..."
The baron said this vaguely, tilted his head, and was silent!
As for the 'Sir Raven' Boris, who was pressed under Baron Fred, his neck had already been torn off the moment the Baron pulled off the horse!
The Raven Knights, who had lost their command, tried to escape, but were chased by the angry Salion soldiers, and except for a dozen or so Raven Knights who were on the edge of the brink, they were chopped to pieces.
Baron Fred is indeed powerful, in the face of a siege of hundreds of people, he can kill more than half of the enemy army alone!
The Raven Warriors also collapsed, and the Sarion soldiers did not accept prisoners, forcing the Raven Warriors to fight until the last moment!
From noon to dusk, the battle ended.
Everyone was stained with blood, and Sergeant Gregory knelt before the baron's corpse and wept, his affection for the baron was almost the same as that of a master and servant for many years.
In fact, he followed the Baron from the beginning of his army, until the Baron activated his bloodline to become a dragon-blooded warrior, and saved the king and was named the lord of Biglen Town, Sergeant Gregory has been following the Baron, and it was the Baron who trained him all the way from a trainee soldier to a sergeant!
As far as the eye could see, the wasteland was littered with corpses, the white snow had been dyed reddish-brown, and everyone was cleaning the battlefield with a depressed expression.
We brought the bodies of the Sarion soldiers and mercenaries back to the foot of the hill and burned them, while the baron's bodies were placed in a coffin found in the Raven Castle and were to be carried back for burial.
'Sir Raven' Boris, though dead, is worthy of being the strongest man in the western part of the Great Heath, and his body is treated with great dignity by us.
Each of us slashed him and threw Boris off the cliff.
As for his men, they are in the wilderness, leaving it to the wolves and vultures to take care of the aftermath!
God of light is above, let these scum live in darkness forever!
This is what I heard as I passed by Sergeant Gregory, and he prayed sincerely.
