"Beastmen!"

Rhodes exclaimed.

The tension suddenly spread, and above the entire ice wall, the flames were everywhere, and the soldiers who had been drowsy just now immediately cheered up, throwing guns and bows and arrows in their hands, and without firearms, these long-range weapons were the only means of fighting the beastmen. After all, humans have no advantage in close combat.

Rod drew the greatsword on his back, the blade reflecting the cold moonlight.

In the darkness of the night, countless figures began to emerge from the forest, however, both Rhodes and Caroline knew that they were not human beings at all, they were hoofed ones, beastmen. The wild roar mingled with the characteristic horn sound of the beastmen resounded through the forest, and distant birds awoke from the trees and flew into the sky.

In the midst of the darkness, the Beastmen began to storm the human towns on a large scale.

The ice wall was sturdy and tall enough, but Rhodes was not sure if it could withstand the beasts. Under the evil moonlight, the figures of these terrifying creatures became clearer and clearer, and at first estimates, there were hundreds, or even thousands. This is almost three times the number of previous years, according to which Kislev should have sent out a regular army to exterminate it, however, now it seems that there is none, and they are left to their own. Fortunately, Rhodes had finally gathered the forces of the three castles before the beasts launched a general attack.

Heidelberg's crossbowmen were ready and ready to fly, waiting intently for the beasts to come into range.

Soon, an alarm bell sounded above the towers of Blackhammer Castle, and the first crossbow bolts burst through the air. It was the heavy weapon of the entire Black Hammer Fortress. A three-meter-long heavy crossbow bolt slashed through the dark night sky and shot into the crowd of beastmen, piercing the beastmen who had no time to dodge.

The burly beastman was shot through the abdomen, and the whole person was nailed to the ground by high-speed flying crossbow arrows, unable to move. Warm blood splattered all over the ground.

However, the sight in front of them did not stop the other beastmen from attacking frantically.

With a tidal roar and roar, large swaths of the beastmen rushed towards the walls of ice outside Blackhammer. Caroline, the Frost Witch, had begun to cast a spell, her eyes turned dark blue, like the ice stones of the Arctic, her fingertips shimmered with a bleak cold light, the air around her dropped sharply as if it had been drained, and Rod's armor and witch's robe were soon covered with a thin layer of frost. And the power of magic is still growing.

"Listen to me, launch!"

Rhodes stood above the ice wall, swinging his sword and yelling.

In an instant, hundreds of human defenders loosened their bowstrings, and their feathered arrows rained down on the charging beastmen.

However, the beastmen were not pure beasts, they had weapons and shields, and the beastmen who rushed to the front raised their shields one after another, and the feathered arrows rained down like ice rain, landing on the beastmen's shields with a tinkling sound. But it didn't penetrate, and only a handful of the arrows hit the beastmen warriors who didn't have shields. However, the beastman's huge, sturdy body, being shot with an arrow or two, was not too much of a problem.

They drew their feathered arrows and continued to charge with a roar.

At the forefront were two huge minotaurs, armed with battering rams, which were in fact a rough log, and with the horns of the dead beastmen attached, they were a battering ram. However, their strength should not be underestimated, and the power of storming the city gates exceeds that of human siege vehicles......

"Free Fire!"

There was no time to shoot in unison, and Rhodes gave a second order. Immediately, scattered arrows flew towards the horned beasts that rushed in front of her, and at the same time, Caroline, the Frost Witch, finished casting a spell, and a biting cold wind blew up from behind her, like a flood of beasts, and pounced on the beastmen in front of her.

In an instant, the beastmen who rushed to the front were frozen by the cold wave, their bodies froze in the raging cold wind, their arms and feet became immobile, the huge war hammer fell to the ground like frozen stones, and in a few seconds, outside the wall of ice, more than a dozen beastmen turned into shining ice sculptures. At the same time, fragments of ice crystals in the biting cold wind began to attack more of the beastmen behind them. Their skin was torn apart, their eyes were blinded, and some of the ice even pierced the beastmen's chests, piercing the hearts like a sharp knife.

One after another, the Beastmen fell under the ice magic of the Frost Witch. It has to be said that this is a truly lethal magical effect that Rhodes has seen so far. However, after this round of casting, Caroline was pretty much the same. Her physical strength was severely depleted, and her whole body was weakened.

"Guards!"

Rhodes hurriedly called the guards and helped her to the backfield, and he took the veterans of Blackhammer Castle and the Iron Guards of Ring City to defend against the Beastmen's follow-up troops.

The two minotaur warriors finally collapsed after being shot with numerous arrows, however, the beastmen who followed behind quickly picked up their battering rams and continued to ram towards the gates of the ice wall.

Rod could clearly feel the ground trembling beneath his feet, however, he had to keep fighting. Before the city is broken, you must stand at the forefront, otherwise, the morale of the soldiers defending the city will collapse in an instant.

The tall ice wall prevented the beastmen from attacking further, however, the gates were quickly breached. With a thunderous crash, the gates of the Ice Wall of Blackhammer Castle were smashed to pieces. Minotaur warriors armed with heavy axes rushed in, and a Heidelberg soldier who had no time to escape was knocked away by an axe, his skull shattered, and he fell to the ground convulsing continuously.

More arrows flew towards the bloodthirsty minotaur, but the pile of tattered armor on his body blocked the cluster of feathered arrows.

Rhodes could only go into battle in person again, and in the horrified eyes of everyone, the Lord of Blackhammer Castle, Rod Lawn, with a sharp blade in his hand, roared and jumped off the ice wall, just jumping on the head of the manic minotaur, and before the other party could react, the cold iron sword pierced the minotaur's neck from the back of the neck.

The wild minotaur warrior fell to the ground screaming, sending up a cloud of snow. Rod, on the other hand, jumped away before it fell to the ground, tumbling to the ground, "Retreat! Retreat to the castle!" he shouted.

Hundreds of castle guards fled like refugees fleeing.

Indeed, compared to the werewolf night attack two days ago, the beastman siege at this moment is the real war.

Immensely large size, wild roar, and bloodthirsty attacks that slash at sight, the castle guards have little power to parry in front of these big men.

Even if the three of them worked together, they could only barely stab the beastman.

"Archer, ignition!"

The town had fallen, and in the castle, the chief knight, Virgil, had to order the defenders to open the gates and let the soldiers on the periphery enter the city as soon as possible, while the archers were on standby, and the flames were another weapon against the beastmen. As long as you don't injure your companions by mistake......
