Chapter Eighty-Three: The Capture of the City

Looking at the sudden appearance of the city wall in front of them, Sedkamp and Pat were shocked.

"Triple gold ring, this is the family crest of Viscount Kenmeth, can it be ...... Our family ......" Pat's face became extremely ugly.

"Huh, why didn't you tell me there was a barrier wall here?" Lorist hurried his horse up from behind.

"My lord, this is our family territory, but this barrier wall was not built by our family...... When we were ordered to look for you, there was no such wall here, and the family didn't have the manpower or material resources to build a wall here. Sedkamp muttered.

"Oh, you're saying that this wall was built on our family territory, but not ours?" Lorist had a foreboding feeling, he had imagined many scenes that he would encounter when he returned to the family domain, but he did not expect to encounter the walls built by others in the family territory.

Usually this happens, which only means that the Norton family has become a loser in the territory war, and the family territory has been occupied. Judging by the level of perfection of the wall in front of him, this must have happened a few months ago. Now there are only two options in front of Lorlist, either leave in disgrace, or start a territorial war to reclaim the family territory.

The defenders on the ramparts had spotted the Norton convoy flying the Angry Bear flag, and a man in leather armor was pointing at the convoy loudly and screaming at the panicked defenders ready to let go.

"One, two, three. Hehe, it's really a cost. It's surprising that there are three crossbows guarding the city in such a small wall......" Lorist squinted at the defenses on the wall, and his mouth slurped.

"Whose badges are those three circles?" Lorist asked.

"My lord, that's the family coat of arms of Viscount Kenmeth, with whom he fought a ...... over the copper mines," said Sedkamp.

"So our Norton family has been defeated at the hands of this Viscount Kenmeth, so he has recklessly built walls and set up checkpoints in our family territory. Lorist smirked, it looked like he was going to start a territorial war.

"No, sir, I don't see it that way. Pat seemed to have something in mind.

"What's wrong?" asked Lorlister.

"My lord, if our family loses the territorial war and the family territory is occupied, then there is no need for Viscount Kenmeth to build any walls and set up checkpoints here, because that is his territory, which is connected to our family territory. I haven't heard of anyone building such a wall in their own territory, isn't that asking for trouble for themselves?"

"And I have fought against Viscount Kenmeth's army before under the leadership of the old master, and his army is mostly mercenaries hired from all over the world, and there is no combat effectiveness. Even if we lose our family force, Viscount Kenmeth's army will not have the strength to take our family's manor castle. What's more, Kitano Town is not far from the family's manor castle, even if the garrison is a bastard, they will not joke about the life and death of the family, because this involves their own interests, and if the family is destroyed, then their foothold will be gone, so they will not sit idly by and watch the army of Viscount Kenmax capture the family's manor castle. ”

"I think the main purpose of Viscount Kenmeth building such a wall here is to cut off the family's connection with the outside world, trap the family in the wilderness of the Northlands, and finally force the family to bow to him. Pat spoke his judgment.

"What you say makes a lot of sense, we will know the truth of the matter as soon as we take the city. Loris nodded.

"My lord, you want to attack the city now?" Sedecamp said: "But we are not ready for anything, we have not even made a siege ladder, how can we attack the city? And there are three crossbows on the city wall to defend the city......

"Siege ladders? You see, this city wall is only about four meters high, and there are twenty or thirty kittens and dogs on it. Making siege ladders is too elevating them, and the three siege crossbows are too cumbersome, and there is still a threat to deal with large groups of siege men, so I can only avoid the angle of shooting, and the defense car crossbows are useless. Pat, you go and tell Ovikis to get his guard team ready, and when I go up the wall and take control of the city, let them follow immediately. Lorist said.

"Yes, sir. Pat replied loudly, and then said with a little worry, "Be careful, my lord, or I will go with you." ”

"Hehe......" Lorist laughed: "You should know my skills, this wall is not a problem for me, but you are heavily armoured, and it will be difficult to go up." Besides, I'm a person with a small target and a flexible dodge, but with multiple targets, you're aiming bigger. Don't worry, those people above are just a piece of cake for me, it's fine. ”

Lorist rode alone and really ran to the city wall. Seeing that it was less than seventy meters away from the city wall, there was a "boom" sound, and a crossbow from the city guard on the city wall was fired. Lorist flashed to the left, and the huge bolt grazed Lorlist's mount, more than a foot deep into the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Lorist had crossed the angle of the crossbow fired by the defenders, less than forty meters from the city wall, and reached out to take out his throwing spear and throw it.

The three throwing guns were nailed to the city wall, half a meter away from the head of the city. Several of the guards on the city wall laughed, this quasi-head, even the head of the city can't be thrown up, there is a fart, there is no threat at all.

Unexpectedly, Lorist had already reached the city wall, and rode his horse against the city wall, and the first few guards on the wall wanted to shoot with longbows, but because of the angle, they could not lean out of the city wall to aim.

Lorist turned his horse's head and trotted against the wall again, unsaddling his stirrups and squatting on his horse's back. Seeing the place where he was nailed to the city wall, he jumped lightly, as fast as an ape, hooked a spear with both hands, flipped it with his strength, and the whole person had reached the top of the city wall.

This set of movements was like an acrobatic move, which stunned the defenders of the city wall, and by the time he reacted, Lorist was already standing at the head of the city, drawing the long sword that was behind his back.

The leader of the leather-armored guards who had just arranged the defense on the city wall shouted loudly and called the names of several people, and several of the guards around Lorist raised their guns and shields and pounced on Lorlist, intending to bully more and take Lorliste down.

In the flicker of the sword, the blood from the throats of the five defenders who pounced one after another spurted and fell to the ground. Lorist strolled leisurely past the twitching body on the ground and walked towards the leader of the leather-clad Guardians.

The leader of the guards stopped scolding, looked at the five fallen guards in disbelief, saw Lorist walking towards him, hurriedly drew his long sword, and grabbed a shield from the side, while protecting his body and retreating, he opened his mouth and yelled at the other guards to come up and attack Lorist with him.

Two guards armed with spears stealthily approached Lorist from behind, spears stabbing at Lorlist, one left and one right. The guardian leader's eyes flashed with surprise, the long sword in his hand flashed with a sword light, and he was about to step forward to assist in the attack, but when he saw Lorist's figure, he did not advance but retreated, and turned into a whirlwind and swept between the two sneak guards behind, and the sword flashed, and the two sneak attacking guards dropped their spears, covering their bloody throats and making a "hea" sound and falling straight down.

The leader of the guardians was startled, turned and ran. Did you run?, Lorist rushed forward, and saw that he was almost behind the leader of the guardians, who suddenly turned sharply, shielded his body with his left hand, and slashed backwards with his sword in his right hand......

There was no one behind the leader of the guardians, the long sword slashed into the air, and he took two diagonal steps with his body before stopping the castration, and was about to find out where Lorist was, when there was a cold sword on his neck, and Lorlist's voice came from his side: "Abandon the sword and surrender, spare you from death." ”

The leader of the guardians froze, and with a "clang", his left shield hit the ground, and he slowly turned to face Lorlist.

Lorist pressed his sword down on his neck and motioned for him to throw away the longsword in his right hand. The leader of the guardians slowly raised his sword, and was about to lose it, seeing that Lorist focused on the sword in his hand, the leader of the guardians suddenly leaned back, detached from the sword that Lorist pressed against his neck, and then tried to roll back and escape.

It's just that no matter how fast he is, Lorist's reaction is not as fast, and the long sword is stretched out and stabbed into his throat......

"Self-defeating. Lorist scolded.

He just wanted to find a leader to ask what had happened during this time, but he didn't expect that the leader of the guards was restrained and wanted to resist. Turning his head to look at the city, he couldn't find a single person except the eight corpses on the ground and himself, and the remaining dozen or so guards had already fled down the city and fled into the distance.

Standing at the head of the city and looking in the direction where the dozen or so guards had fled, "...... Day" Lorist scolded, hurrying that Viscount Kenmeth is not building a city wall or a checkpoint here, he is building a city. More than 300 meters away from the city wall where he was standing, there was a higher and thicker city wall.

Outside the city, Ovicis and his team of guards were shouting something in a mess, and Lorist looked over and saw that everyone was coming.

"Wait. Lorist said.

Descending the walls and opening the gates, Joske came in first.

"Your Excellency, you are too impulsive. At least I'll have to wait for me to come over and scrap the crossbows on the city walls. Josk grumbled as he held up a huge crossbow bolt pulled from the ground outside.

"Aren't I fine, you still have a chance to show that you want to look ahead, there is still a city wall. Lorist said, pointing to the wall in the distance.

"No problem, leave it to me. Ride!" Josk slammed his horse's belly and rushed out, and the squad of guards with Ovikis followed him toward the wall.

"I'm dizzy, old Joe, I didn't let you go to the siege!" and pretended not to hear, and ran so fast......." Lorist stomped his foot in a hurry.

The wall in front of it was a lot taller than the one he had just taken, and it looked very thick, and the defenses must have been better than this one. Josk and his team of guards recklessly crashed into it, fearing that they would break their heads and bleed.

Lorist ran outside the gates to find the mount that had brought her, only to find that the mount had run back to the convoy on its own. At this moment, he was being led by Pat, and Sedkamp and Reddy in the carriage led the convoy slowly towards the city wall.

Lorist beckoned to Pat, telling him to hurry up and bring the horse over. As a result, Pat, Sedercamp, and Reddy misunderstood, thinking that Lorist was happy to take the city wall with a single sword, and was showing off his power in Dese. So he waved his hand very cooperatively in response, and let out bursts of cheers.

Lorist was half angry to death, and said in his heart that he was usually smarter than the other, how could he become a fool at a critical moment, and beckoned them to come over early, they would think crookedly, what a genius.

Finally, when they got closer, Lorist roared angrily, and the three of them knew that they had made a big oolong. Pat hurriedly brought his horse over. Lorist glared at him hatefully, and just turned over his horse, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a cheerful guard ran back in front of him: "My lord, my lord, we have taken the city wall!"

"What?" said Lorlist, almost sliding off his horse without stepping on the stirrups.

"How many casualties?" asked Lorist nervously.

"Casualties? Well, there were no casualties. The messenger of the guard thought for a moment and said, "The enemy has no casualties. ”

We have no casualties, no casualties among the enemy, and the city walls are occupied by us, is this a child pretending to be a family wine?

The walls are so tall that the defenders can keep the attackers from eating and walking around as long as they shoot arrows down from them. Even if Joske's arrows are invincible, he is under the city, and he suffers much more than the condescending defenders, and with only one bow, as long as the defenders pay some casualties, they can force Joske to retreat.

Lorist can take a city wall with a single sword is a dangerous way, one is to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and one person cannot attract the attention of the defenders. The second is unexpected, taking advantage of the low city wall to climb the top of the city with juggling movements, and the defenders can't help him. But he went up and killed eight defenders before he took the wall.

"How did Knight Josk do it?" Lorist was curious.

"Well, my lord, Lord Joske only shot three arrows, the first one broke the flagpole, the second one knocked over a garrison crossbow, and the third shot the two-handed axe of the mercenary captain who guarded it. When the mercenary guards found out that Master Joske was a Golden Rank, they all gave up resistance and surrendered. The messenger said.

People are more popular than dead people, and as soon as Lorist can imagine, as soon as Josk's three arrows came out, the mercenaries who were guarding looked at it, and the golden rank was golden. is still holding a bow, and now he can't escape if he wants to, and then he sees that there are so many retinues with iron armor and full armor behind him, so everyone should surrender as soon as possible to save this old life, so those mercenaries of the silver and black iron rank all knelt.

And Lorist went up to the city wall, even if he killed five guards, because there was no sword on the sword, those guards regarded it as a black iron rank with excellent swordsmanship, so they would still think about sneak attack, and also think about resisting. Even after the leader of the silver-rank guardians was restrained by Lorlist, he thought that as a silver-tier, it was a shame to be restrained by Lorist of the black iron rank, so he resisted desperately.

After figuring out why the leader of the guards killed himself, Lorist's expression was extremely exciting, his face was not smiling, but his heart was aggrieved. Fortunately, he didn't run to attack the wall behind him, otherwise he would have to kill from one end to the other, and the mercenaries guarding the river would not surrender without killing a river of blood. Like Joske, he easily shot three arrows, and as soon as he showed the strength of the golden rank, the enemy saw it and surrendered as soon as he thought he was invincible.

Damn the fighting spirit, the damn flame fighting spirit, the damn family secret flame fighting spirit. Lorist looked unwilling to break his thoughts in his heart......

"By the way, my lord, Lord Joske, please come over, as if you have found something important. The messenger remembered the second thing he had sent him over, and hurriedly reported it.

"Okay, I'll go over it. Lorist gathered up and said to Pat and Sedkamp. Reddy three ordered: "Settle the convoy and set up camp here today." When the gates are closed, there will be men on the walls to defend them, understand?"

"My lord, we see. ”
