Chapter 5: A Great Victory
After surrounding Richard's base, Sir Mintai did not rush to attack, but circled the base in a full circle.
The site sits on a slightly abrupt piece of land with steep slopes on three sides, with only a gentle ramp connecting to the main entrance. The height of the steep slope reached twenty meters, and it was difficult for ordinary fighters to climb it. In addition, there are a lot of puddles scattered around the base, which looks a little strange.
(It's like an encirclement...... )
Thinking of this, Min Tae shook his head with a smile. It's just a few puddles, can you still hide people inside?
Seeing clearly, Sir returned to the main entrance of the base and asked the surviving priest, "Is this the base of the invaders?"
The young priest looked at a map and replied in the affirmative: "This is the place indicated in the oracle!"
Sir nodded and said, "You hide in the back, keep the magic and don't use it indiscriminately." Then, a small group of warriors retreated into the woods with the priest in their arms.
At this time, the team had been assembled, and Mintae squinted his eyes to observe the forward base dozens of meters away. The enclosure wall is made of stone and is about four meters high. Two thick wooden gates were tightly closed, and two archers stood in the towering turrets.
"Knight-like, bastard!" Sir Minthai muttered, sensing the momentum of the two shooters. Then, his gaze fell on Richard, recognizing the magician who had attacked him. As soon as he saw where Richard was standing, Mintai wanted to find a bow to shoot an arrow. Directly above the gates was a crucial position where Richard could stand and bring all of Sir Mintai's attacking forces into his range. However, he himself is easily caught fire by enemy ranged units.
However, when he saw the foot knight holding a tower shield next to Richard, Mintai dismissed the idea of shooting him down with an arrow.
Mintae touched his beard, waved his big hand forward, and said, "First team, second team, third team, attack!"
Led by three knights, thirty warriors slowly approached the base. The archers on the left and right arrow towers released their bowstrings, and in an instant, two warriors fell to the ground with arrows, and the knights who led the team had no time to help.
"Do you want to send a few more teams, or do you want the archers to suppress the tower?" suggested one of Mintai's knights.
Sir shook his head and said, "No, those two guys will soon lose their strength with this kind of shooting! And they only have two shooters, how many arrows can they shoot?"
Without Mintae's urging, the attacked knights quickened their pace and rushed to the gate of the base with the warriors behind them. For them, the walls of the base are not too high and can be easily climbed. If it is not mixed with special materials, the thick wooden door will not be able to withstand the destruction of the fighting spirit, and the only thing that the knight needs to worry about is the range magic suppression from Richard. As strikers, these three squads have an important task to drain Richard's magic.
Seeing that the vanguard rushed into the range of the enemy mage, Sir Mintai ordered again: "The fourth team, the fifth team, raise their shields and attack the left and right arrow towers!"
Two knights came out in response, leading two teams of warriors to rush towards the arrow tower. This time, the shooters in the tower had to turn their attention to these two teams of fighters. As he wished, Mintae watched as a fireball exploded under the walls, encircling a group of warriors, including two knights.
The raging waves of fire had not yet dispersed, and Richard had already begun the next round of spellcasting. Three seconds later, another fireball flew out of the wall and almost landed in the crater from which the first fireball exploded. When the second fireball exploded, the warriors were all charred, and even one of the knights was badly wounded and fell.
Several sharp arrows whizzed towards Richard, then slammed into the knight's tower shield and bounced off. More warriors appeared on the ramparts, and Richard left under the cover of heavy shields.
The mage stops attacking, which means that the melee is about to begin. Mintai finally waited for the opportunity he wanted, and Jazz waved his hand vigorously and shouted, "The 6th to 10th teams come with me, all attack!" Huber, you lead the 11th to 15th teams to prepare for the second round of attack. Others, stay put!"
Dozens of warriors shouted loudly, led by Sir Mintai, and the scattered arrows fired from the base could not stop the rushing army.
Rushing in front of the walls, Mintae jumped to his feet and threw a punch that smashed a small hole in the wall. In the next moment, the height of the knight had already exceeded the city wall!
At this time, a double-edged battle axe suddenly appeared and slashed at Mintai. Sir in mid-air had nowhere to borrow strength, so he roared, picked up his two-handed heavy sword and fought hard with the battle axe! The two heavy weapons collided together with the blessing of the fighting spirit, and there was a thunderous roar. Gangde took two steps back, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and Mintae was thrown out by the rebounding force.
As Jazz cursed something in mid-air, a feeling of extreme danger came over him. He was horrified to find a woman in a trench coat and armed with a crossbow on the wall. What's more, the crossbow facing him was empty!
A sharp pain came from Sir Mintai's abdomen, and the paralyzing sensation that crept all over his body in an instant told him that it was an enchanted crossbow arrow!
When he fell to the ground, Sir Mintai spurted out a mouthful of blood and lost his mobility.
The foot knights of House Akmund rushed out of the tower, their battle axes in one hand and their round shields in the other, and they fiercely struck the enemy who climbed the walls. These infantry knights were all the elite of the Akmund family, and the knights of the same rank could not defeat them at all, and ordinary warriors were even cut to the ground one by one.
Suddenly, a ray of flame burst into the sky, and it was the signal for a general attack!
Under the cover of the infantry knights, Richard, Irene, Quicksand, and Minnie Mouse climbed the walls and quickly drove the enemy down.
At the same time, hundreds of water arrows were fired from all directions, and more than half of Sir Mintai's troops fell in an instant.
Seeing a humanoid creature emerge from the puddle around him, Sir Mintai, who had just been helped up by Huber, spat out a mouthful of blood again and said astringently, "Elemental creatures...... No wonder there are so many puddles around here. ”
Soon, Min Tae and his remaining more than a hundred men were surrounded by hundreds of water elementals near the city walls. Sizz's helmet was long gone, and his paralyzed hands could not hold his weapon or shield, and without Huber's support, he might have fallen to the ground in no time.
On the city wall, quicksand turns the Book of Time, blessing the magic of Gangde and the knights of the foot war. And Richard and they are not idle, protecting the body stone skin, magic shield, and the power of the bull...... One buff spell after another was cast.
Seeing this gorgeous scene, even Sir Mintai dispelled the idea of storming the forward base.
Richard looked at the city and said to Mintai, "Surrender, sir." Stop making unnecessary sacrifices. ”
Mintae laughed a few times, and then asked viciously, "Surrender?"
Richard said, "If you swear allegiance to me, that's certainly the best option." Otherwise, you are my captives, and I will inform Baron Fossa, that he will pay a ransom for you, and give me a piece of land. ”
"Dream!" snarled Lord Minthai, "as believers in the God of Courage, we will not compromise with the invaders!
Reilly patted Richard on the shoulder and said, "There's no need to waste time with them, you just take those who are willing to surrender, and I'll take the rest." ”
Richard's face changed, then he nodded, and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, throw down your weapons and stand against the city wall!"
As soon as the words fell, those water elementals rushed over and dragged several warriors with weapons into their bodies. Seeing them struggling in pain in the water, more and more fighters trembled and threw away their weapons.
Eventually, seventy surrendered warriors were escorted to the cellar below the tavern. The wounded were treated and bandaged briefly, and two of the more seriously wounded knights each received a minor treatment, which reassured all the captives. Looking at this posture, at least they will not be slaughtered like those diehards.
