Tarik was furious at the sudden deterioration of the situation for the people, and he fired an arrow that hit the target with precision, and the defenders of an Ustok village fell from the city.

But Tariq was even more indignant.

With his right hand loosening the bowstring, Tariq stopped bending his bow and arrows, and turned his head just in time to see his companion cutting off the head of the corpse, and then stacking it in one place.

Seeing such a scene, the anger in Tariq's chest suddenly emptied, and was replaced by unspeakable sadness, "In the past, I shot all the Kusettes with quick knives and horses, or the Stegian warriors with heavy shields and axes, but now I can only shoot a group of useless waste robbers and a group of bad old men with pitchforks!" ”

Hearing that Tariq had directly denounced them as waste bandits, the group of foresters who had been unable to attack them for a long time in the onslaught just now and now fled back in confusion to repair themselves wanted to retort a few words, saying that some messengers of the forest god were not robbers and other wonderful things.

But in the blink of an eye, he saw the head of the man who had cut the ground to warn them, and the thought of arguing with Tariq dissipated in an instant.

"Be content." Tarkling a human head around his waist, Tariq's companion walked over, "You can still hold the bow steadily, pull the strings, still breathe, and send this bunch of waste to death at any time." ”

"But what about those people, the people who came out of the dungeon with us?" His companion let out a cloudy breath, "Oh, damn it, I almost forgot their names now!" ”

But Tariq was unimpressed by the sentimentality of his companions, "What if you forget? What if you don't forget? You just need to remember that we are not the same person we used to be! The Legion is gone! Now we are on a new path, and even if we meet Ron and them again, we will be enemies! ”

"That's what you said." The companion did not refute, "It is only right to do what is in front of you." ”

Then, as if he remembered something, his companion asked, "How long has it been since we attacked?" ”

"An hour and forty minutes. I'm counting. Tariq muttered, then wiped away the rain that was blocking his eyes, "This damn rainstorm, it can't be delayed any longer, let this bunch of waste get up and let them continue the siege!" ”

In the end, after the Overseer once again beheaded one of the foresters who had been the first to flee during the siege, both sides had to prepare for battle, whether it was the defenders of Ustok Village, who could not withstand more casualties, or the foresters who had already suffered heavy casualties.

This time was even more different from the previous offensive, as long as the defenders of Ustok village dared to show their heads, they would immediately usher in an overwhelming rain of arrows, although most of them were not accurate and the resistance of the torrential rain was not very lethal at all, and the protected Stegian warriors could still hold on to the battle even if they were hit by two arrows.

But this shows the attitude of the forest people, and it also shows the determination of the commander of the forest people under the wooden wall to decide to complete the battle!

Because when your own soldiers climb the city wall, usually the long-range strike force will stop or even not move at all, and only use the elite shooters in it to carry out accurate strikes, otherwise if the own soldiers who climb the city wall are accidentally injured, the casualties are secondary, and it is a heavy blow to morale.

But now the people of the forest have completely ignored the accidental injury, and their archers have been ready to shoot arrows as soon as the people at the head of the city show up.

The brutality of the war has escalated again.

"Legion Commander!"

In the blink of an eye, the city, which had become fragmented after several attacks, was once again in danger of being breached, and Karl's two deputies had already stepped forward to press the formation, but Karl stopped at the last moment of his advance.

Immediately afterwards, Carl actually knelt down in front of everyone, holding his blood-stained northern covering helmet in his arms, his attitude was extremely sincere, and his tone was extremely solemn, even Ron had to be cautious no matter how good his concentration was.

"What's the matter?"

"As I said, Legion Commander, with the strength of a group of women, the elderly, and a dozen of my people, it is absolutely impossible for me to take on the heavy responsibility of defending the front line, protecting the safety of the village and you."

"But since it's the task you gave me, there are naturally higher-level considerations, I can't figure it out and I don't want to think about it, I just know how to fight to the death."

At this point, Karl paused for a moment, inhaling a deep breath from his chest before he continued to speak, knowing that his next words might shake people's hearts or invite suspicion, but he had to say it, and only he could say it.

Arthur was a smart man, and now he sat more steadily than Ron's concentration, and obviously had figured out the reason in his heart, but he clenched his mouth and did not speak, only occasionally reporting the time on time, and I am afraid that he knew quite well what a terrible situation would be if this question was asked.

But Carl just wanted to ask, rather, because he was Carl and not Arthur, so he wanted to ask even more!

"Commander, do we have no reserves?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked. Arthur opened his mouth, but did not speak again, closed his eyes and continued to count the time.

Ron didn't speak, and Carl kept looking at him half-kneeling and twisting his head.

It's been a long time, but it's not long, it's just that this strange silence has been hard and long, and Ron can no longer hold back that ancient face like a hidden fox.

"Since you have a question now, you must have an answer in your heart, whether I say yes or no, the answer in your heart will not change in any way, so why bother to ask? Just do your best. ”

"Of course you have to ask!" Carl still turned his head to look at Ron, "I can understand your frustration in keeping your mouth shut, and I also know that I often have a bad habit of not being able to control my mouth, if the soldiers knew from the beginning that there were only a dozen of them, they would panic, they would be afraid, they would not necessarily be as brave as they are now." ”

"But!"

"Yes is yes, no is no! If the other soldiers were in the village, I would be lucky; And if the soldiers were all with John, I would be determined to die. ”

"Whether there is a will to die or not may be the key to whether the city is not breached!" Karl shouted, "Commander, we have all been in the Imperial Legion, and we all know the current situation, if there is no new force to join, all the people of the forest will be on the city wall within twenty minutes!" ”

"What if you have a will to die?" Ron spoke softly.

"Then whatever I say, I'll make it difficult for the people of the forest to move forward in twenty minutes!" Carl replied loudly.

"Thirty minutes."

Hearing this, Karl was first startled, then stunned, and finally nodded suddenly, put on his overlay helmet and turned away decisively.
