Chapter 115: The Siege of Snow Rock Castle

"Three hunters made a mess of the camp and burned half of the supplies and food. Hmph......"

Walking on the way to Snow Rock Castle, Rod couldn't help but laugh at himself. But Diego denied such claims.

"Not your average hunter, the Wood Elf Tracer roams and patrols the forest for many years, they can hunt prey that is several times larger than their own size, and the manticore lion you encountered before may not survive more than ten minutes if she fights her. ”

Diego explained.

"So she's much stronger than I was back then?"

Rhodes asked, turning his head.

"Isn't it? Her story may be more legendary than yours than your original 'legendary' story. Diego replied, "You have to think about how long we humans can live, how long can they live? Elves who look like they are only in their twenties may have lived for hundreds or thousands of years." During this long time, they have time to hone their skills and abilities. So, needless to say three, one such Wood Elf is enough for us. ”

"I'd love to know, if it's really the nobles of Errengrad who hired them, how much does that commission cost?"

Rod muttered to himself.

"Estimated sky-high prices. A price that you and I can't even imagine. But the nobles of Erlengrad are rich, and I know as an outsider that in your country, the economic center is not the city of Kislev, but the city of Erlengrad. These nobles have nothing but the most money. When the city is broken, I should go and make a good fortune. ”

Diego laughed. Although witch hunters don't love money, many times, they can't do things without money, so how to make money is also a science. And taking advantage of the chaos is definitely the most common method.

And Rod thought of the appearance of the wanderer, which was not too beautiful...... Perfect body and face...... Dexterous movements are paired with a cool leafy skirt...... Compared with the most beautiful girls in the human world, they are all surpassed. It seems that the legend is true, and every elven female is a stunner that makes human males salivate. But this thought lasted less than a minute, and Rod came to his senses, which was like a sperm worm's brain...... A huntress who burned her own camp was originally an enemy...... Also, it wouldn't be nice to let Caroline know that she was still eye-catching with the elf girl when she was out hunting.

......

"The gods are above! These brutes! they deserve hell!"

Due to the fact that some of the supplies and grain and grass had been burned before, the coalition forces had to say that they had collected food and hunted along the way, and arrived at Snow Rock Fort a full week later than expected before departure.

When Rhodes and his party arrived at Snow Rock Fort, it was surrounded by a large number of green skins. Even, in order to siege the city, the Greenskins cut down all the woods around the castle and used it to craft their goblin catapults and all kinds of strange siege weapons.

Looking as closely as possible, Deguel saw that a breach had been blasted open in the outer wall of his castle, but the gap had been rebuilt with rubble and earth. As you can guess, after the previous battle, Greenskin once blasted through the walls and rushed in. But then it should have been blocked by the human defenders in the city. Explosives, hot oil, rolling stones, in short, there are many ways. After the Greenskins were killed, the soldiers and civilians estimated that the gap would soon be filled.

"How sure are you that you rush straight over?" I mean, the cavalry charged, and the infantry followed the cavalry. Tear through the greenskinned defenses and enter the city. ”

Rod asked.

"There are risks. "Die Literature Network

Palumbel replied with a frown.

"What risk?"

"There are also cavalry in the Greenskins, and the wolf riders will interfere with us, and if a single charge fails to tear the battle line, my men will soon be entangled by those wolves. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, the cavalry has no advantage at all. ”

Palunbel replied.

"What about positional warfare? we hold the greenskins in tow, and you outflank them?"

Edmund proposed.

"Difficult. Again, the Greenskins are wild, but they are not fools, they have wolf riders, and wild boar cavalry, and the Ice Queen gives me light horses, no matter which direction you charge, it will attract the attention of the greenskin riders. ”

Palumbel said. In terms of seniority, he is considered the most powerful Ugor cavalry in Kislev. But the battlefield is not a one-man decision, Palumbel can rush into the enemy army by himself, killing ten, or even twenty green-skinned orcs and goblins, but after that, it is a person, and his physical strength will decrease, and if he is a person, he has a time when he is inattentive, as long as his body is slashed somewhere, his combat effectiveness will drop significantly. How many heroes did not die from a heads-up boss, but were besieged to death by countless minions. The number of people on the battlefield is not the most important, but it is also an objective factor that cannot be ignored.

"There's another way, I can lead my people to divert some of the greenskins, and you can take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Concentrate superior forces in a short period of time and crush them. ”

Palumbel came up with his own idea.

"But only if Greenskin is willing to divide most of his troops to chase after him. But I'm sure it's not easy, your cavalry is fast and nimble enough. But when the orcs and goblins find out that they can never catch up with you, the greenskins will quickly turn back and find a more direct opponent to fight. We may be faced with a two-sided enemy at that time. Or, they don't want to chase you at all. I mean, two legs can't catch up with four, that's obvious, the greenskins aren't brainless creatures, they can tell. And if it's just wolf cavalry and boar orc cavalry to chase, then it doesn't make much sense, we still have to face a huge number of green-skinned infantry. ”

Rod analyzed.

"Listen to me, this is my castle and I know how to fight. ”

Suddenly, Deguer, Lord of Snowrock Castle, interjected.

"Snow Rock Fort is more than just one passage to enter. There is only one passage above ground, but there is another one underground. I know the way. Therefore, I will say that tonight I will go in through that secret passage with my men, and when I return to the castle, the soldiers will be in high spirits when they see that I am alive. When the time comes, we will use the wolf smoke as a signal, and we will join forces with the outside to defeat the greenskin together. ”

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for coming to the aid of my castle, this battle must be fought this way. The Greenskins wouldn't have discovered the passage, and if they did, Snowrock Fort would have fallen long ago. I can reach the inside of the castle and reassemble my warriors. For Kislev's victory, wait for my signal. ”

He repeated it again, his voice sonorous. Rhodes just thought it was a little funny, he hadn't seen this Lord Deguel so anxious and assertive when the Kislev coalition was fighting against the rebels and mercenaries. Now seeing his castle under siege, he instantly commands the master, the master tactician...... But this is normal, after all, people don't die for themselves, and Katerina is not big enough for her ministers to sacrifice themselves for her unconditionally. Erengrad rebelled, and on the surface, the Kislev coalition army reached tens of thousands, but in fact, everyone had their own evil intentions. They all want to lose less in the war and let others come to the front to carry the ......

"It's a deal, brother. ”

Rod said, extending a hand of friendship to Lord Deguer. Soon, the two hands were firmly clasped together.
