Chapter 033: Ironstone Castle
In three days, Carter's side took five more cities.
With the orthodox bloodline identity of Caterina, the appearance of the Golden Epiphany Legion, and Han Dong's assistance, there has not been any substantial resistance so far.
It stands to reason that the news should have reached Boraz long ago, after all, although there are no telephones in this world, there are some unique alchemy items that can deliver news quickly.
But there didn't seem to be any movement there.
Let Katerina go down five cities in a row.
This is not an ordinary small city with a population of more than 100,000, but a large city with a population of more than 500,000.
Moreover, Count Eno has also successfully taken a city.
Because of the sparse population in the area near the Beast Forest and the Greystone Desert, Caterina has actually taken about one-tenth of Carter's land.
Now the place they were heading to was Ironstone.
It was an important city in the north of the Carter Kingdom, where one-third of its steel production was born.
The Red Rock Mountains separate Carter from the hinterland, and the only entrance and exit point is the Iron Fort.
Otherwise, you will need to climb steep mountains.
It's easy to defend and hard to attack.
The best thing to do is to disintegrate from within.
When the Lacey Empire captured this place, it used the method of letting the spies steal the city.
Now, this pass with a double-layered wall, more than 60 meters high, and a full 10,000 Lacey army handles, has become an obstacle to the southward advance of Caterina's army.
By taking it, Caiterina truly owns the northern part of Carter.
Significant.
Guarding this place is a general of the Knight of Light, named Maslow, who has the strength of a sixth-order great martial artist.
And in addition to the 10,000 warriors, there is also a group of mages of 100 here.
There is no one in ten thousand magicians, and the formation of a mage group is generally a third-order intermediate magician, a hundred-person mage group, and the standard configuration is a sixth-order magician, and more than ten fifth-order great magicians.
Although the lethality of a single mage, a hundred-person mage group is not comparable to a seventh-order archmage.
However, in terms of area damage, that is, for armies that are generally at the junior Genki samurai level, the lethality is superior.
Therefore, it can be seen that the Lacey Empire also attaches great importance to this place.
After hearing the scout's report, Maslow forced the 10,000-strong Carter to carry the defensive equipment and strengthen the city walls.
By the time Caterina led her army to the Ironstone Fortress, the walls were already full of soldiers, with bows and arrows.
And outside the city walls, three thousand cavalry, five thousand ordinary infantry of the Reis Empire, were already in formation.
Maslow stood on the wall, standing with the mage regiment.
He was not suspicious of the intelligence giant, but he was also not cowardly.
The reason why he was able to be placed in such an important position was naturally because his personal military quality was high enough.
As a member of the Brown family, the glory of the family made him choose to sacrifice, and there was no possibility of retreating and escaping.
Giants appeared.
Just like the intelligence said, he was covered in bright red clothes, black boots and gloves, and the weapon in his hand was a huge shovel.
Although he had been prepared for a long time, seeing this two-hundred-meter-tall giant standing on the eighty-meter city wall and still looking up made his heart beat faster.
He couldn't show any panic, even if he didn't have any chance of winning, but at the very least, he had to leave Caterina's army with something to be left behind.
"God of Light bless! Charge! ”
Maslow directly signaled the attack to the soldiers under the city walls, and these soldiers immediately rushed towards the place where Han Dong was after receiving the order.
Katerina stood on Han Dong's shoulders and exclaimed, "In the face of such a great existence of the Guardian, these soldiers still have the courage to charge, this is the army of the Great Empire!" ”
Han Dong looked at the Iron Stone Fort in front of him, which could be regarded as a majestic city in Lilliputian.
The city, which covers an area the size of a basketball court, is densely packed with buildings and is flanked by towering mountains, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Han Dong was very careful, he knew that the advanced magic and vitality martial arts of this world could cause damage to him, so he stopped ten meters away from the city wall.
For the people of Lilliputia, that is, more than a thousand meters apart.
Han Dong actually wanted to deal with the army himself at first, but according to Katerina, Modo hoped to let the barbarian army fight.
These few battles were not very intense, and they were all fought in the city, and Katerina let the Golden Epiphany Legion fight, so that it would not arouse the disgust of the countrymen.
The 50,000 men led by Modo have always been in the role of playing soy sauce.
In this attack on Ironstone, the Golden Epiphany Legion only came with 10,000 men, while the Barbarian hoplites still had 50,000.
Seeing those soldiers charge, Han Dong said to Caterina, "Let Modo and them fight!" ”
After speaking, Han Dong took out his mobile phone to the side and started shooting.
This is much better than any blockbuster, but it needs to be magnified a lot to see it clearly.
But fortunately, the phone has enough pixels.
When Modo received Caterina's order, he immediately excitedly raised his broadsword and shouted:
"Soldiers, it's time for us to fight, drink!"
Before the words fell, a group of barbarians dragged the wine gourd from their waists and dried it in one gulp.
Suddenly, hot air erupted from his nostrils and mouth, followed by a loud roar.
These wine gourds were all 60 degrees of loose wine from Han Dong, and one gourd was killed directly, which had pushed the barbarians to the brink of madness one by one.
Fifty thousand people rushed forward.
Wearing heavy armor, he still walks like a fly.
Human soldiers can't do that.
The 50,000 people ran wildly, the momentum was huge, and the ground was dusty.
The 3,000 cavalry of the Lacey Empire took the lead and collided with the barbarian infantry first.
It stands to reason that elite cavalry is crushing the infantry.
But when facing the heavy infantry, it was five or five.
And now, they were facing barbarian hoplites, who were generally much larger in size and strength than humans.
Mo Duo jumped up, and the two-meter-five broad-bladed greatsword was a sixth-order magic weapon personally created by Blue in exchange for the liquor given by the ten giants, with the characteristics of flame burning.
With a loud shout, the great sword fell.
Even the people and horses were directly split in half!
Scarlet blood spurted out, and the incision was scorched black by the burned flesh.
Such a scene, after Han Dong zoomed in on his mobile phone, he also felt cruel.
But it's so cool to watch!
Crushing.
The barbarian hoplites were completely crushing against the ordinary cavalry of the Lacey Empire.
Whether it is from the point of view of individual combat effectiveness or the overall strength of the army, it is a crushing posture.
The ferocity and belligerence of the barbarians were aroused, and not a single man of the eight thousand survived, and even the horses were killed.
Han Dong was speechless for a while, this group of losers!
