Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Alliance Under the City

"Damn it!"

The battlefield was covered in blood and corpses, even the head of Dortmund Castle was bloody, and the chiefs of Dortmund and Normaburg could do nothing but curse.

More than 200 soldiers were killed and wounded, including nearly twenty warriors, who did not even approach the city walls, and the earlier group of siege soldiers were already dead!

Chief Dortmund and Chief Normaburg are also considered to have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they don't have much other skills, but their eyes are extremely sharp, and he still has a rough idea of how many dead and wounded he has.

"We can't fight anymore, if we continue to fight, our strength will be lost too severely!" The chief of Fort Norma clenched his teeth, he had already retreated, and he thought that he had piled up most of his strength here, and as a result, he suffered heavy losses, but he could not see the hope of victory, how could this allow him to continue.

"No, we can't give up like this, although we have big losses, they are also the end of the crossbow!" Chief Dortmund roared angrily, he was unwilling, he had come to this point, how could he give up, once he gave up, he couldn't think about what the consequences would be.

"But ......"

"Nothing! Let me attack again, they don't have those black things that can set people on fire, otherwise they would have used them a long time ago, why wait until that time, and they haven't seen it now, as long as we don't have that thing, we can take this place back! Chief Dortmund said.

He was right, Carl did not have asphalt, after all, this is not an industrial era, and it is still quite difficult to make this thing.

"I'm willing to lead my army to charge, and if I hit their city, how about you let your army support you?" Chief Dortmund knew that the other party was really unwilling to invest any more troops, so he had to say so.

"This ...... Well, then I wish you success! ”

The chief of Fort Norma nodded, if the chief of Dortmund took the city, then why should he continue to send troops.

This attack was obviously a little more terrifying than just now, and the army of two or three hundred broke away from the formation and slaughtered the city wall in a mighty way.

"My lord, we're running out of arrows!" An archer reported loudly.

This is also no way, Karl can't bring too many arrows from Sylde Manor, the axle weight is a very serious and difficult problem to deal with, and the capture of Dortmund Castle consumes a lot, although there is a lot of looting in Dortmund Castle, but it is not enough to make up for the loss, and it is very normal that it is not enough now.

"Keep shooting until the last arrow is fired, then draw your sword, we will take over this land once and for all, and those Flo people must die!" Kevin said without hesitation, since the archer no longer has a bow and arrows, then he is a simple light infantryman!

"It's Chief Dortmund, that old guy has personally attacked the city!" Karl looked directly at the Dortmund chieftain who had joined the siege under the protection of the guards.

"He couldn't sit still." Sylvia sneered, yes, seeing his own army fighting like this, being pressed and beaten by the other party, how could the old guy Chief Dortmund not be in a hurry?

"It's best if you can't sit still, we can send them on their way!" The same is true for Karl, who is even looking forward to killing the Dortmund chieftain.

With the personal presence of the chief of Dortmund, the morale of the Flo people was very high for a while, and the pressure on the soldiers defending the city increased a lot.

There was a shortage of arrows, there were no archers on the walls, and now they were all light infantry, blocked together, so that the Flo people who climbed the long ladder could not start.

"Our walls are blocked by corpses!" Kevin frowned, more and more people died, and he was forced out of a hole by the Flo people.

"Almost, pour boiling water!"

The soldiers had already prepared for this opportunity, and one by one they lifted the large wooden barrel beside them.

"What's going on?"

Chief Dortmund, who was still climbing the long ladder, did not know what to do, and he saw that the defenders on the city wall had suddenly retreated, and there was a place to climb the wall above the long ladder.

"They're going to surrender?" Thinking of this, Chief Dortmund was overjoyed, and in his opinion, the other party could not hold on.

"It's not good, let's go!"

In the distance, the chief of Fort Norma constricted his pupils, and then he saw the most terrifying scene.

The boiling water is like a waterfall, rushing straight down, and a large amount of boiling water will be poured down from every defensive mouth, rushing to the besieging infantry and warriors, and the moment the boiling water touches them, they will be scalded by the heat, let go of their hands and fall down from mid-air.

The Flo people are like dumplings, constantly falling, dead and wounded, those who are not dead are also lying on the ground, their bodies curled up and squirming, constantly struggling, red skin, hideous faces give people a very terrifying look.

"Demonic ...... Demons ......," the chief of Fort Norma muttered, the sight of hell chilling him.

"Not good!"

Suddenly, his expression changed, he clearly saw that Chief Dortmund fell from the air and was smashed on him by several soldiers, and he couldn't imagine the kind of force.

"Lord Sir, Chief Dortmund seems to be dead!" Kevin stared at Chief Dortmund, who had lost his breath under the city wall, and said hesitantly.

"Hahaha, dead is dead, Chief Dortmund is dead, we killed one of the chiefs of the Flo people!"

Karl's voice was like thunder, and he wanted to tell his soldiers plainly that they had won a great victory.

Sure enough, the soldiers shouted loudly, and the death of a chief boosted their morale.

"Withdraw your troops!"

The roar of the chief of Fort Norma brought the battlefield to a halt, followed by the call to withdraw his troops, like a lamentation.

The chief of Fort Norma is now in despair, after two wars, he paid a large number of soldiers, although there is no count, but the survivors are definitely not more than three hundred, although there are still some defenders in Fort Norma, soldiers can also be recruited from Fort Norma, but the heavy casualties are absolute.

He was no longer ready to attack, he knew that Dortmund Castle could not be defeated, the war had reached this point, it was over.

"The enemy has withdrawn his troops, Lord Sir!" Kevin laughed, tears were about to come out, he was crying with joy that they had managed to hold the castle!

The same is true of the others, one by one crying with joy, especially those light infantry, they are all relieved, these light infantry are the most reluctant to fight.

"What's wrong, Lord Sir?" Sylvia asked suddenly, and Karl frowned instead of being overjoyed.

"Lef, come here......"

……

The iron gates opened, and a light foot on an armourless light horse galloped toward the position of the chief of Fort Norma, holding a letter in his hand.

The Flo soldier drew his bow and arrow, ready to shoot the soldier alive or dead.

The Chief of Fort Norma frowned, raised his arms, and stopped the soldier's actions.

"Chief of Fort Norma, my master, the great Lord Carl Dias, wishes to speak to you!" The Dirman shuddered and dripped the letterhead in his hand.

"Hmph, beggar-like accent." The Chief of Fort Norma snorted, but he didn't bother to say anything to the Dierman, knowing that even this sentence was only improvised by him, so the accent was strange.

The chief of Fort Norma opened the letterhead, which only had a simple seal of the Díaz family coat of arms, and because there was no ink and fire wax, only blood could be used, which looked a little scary.

The content of the letter was not long, it could even be said to be very short, only a few flirtatious sentences, but the chief of Fort Norma read it very carefully, and read it word by word.

His mood became very complicated, one moment with murderous intent, another moment with anger like waves, but finally it turned into calm again.

"The Dierman nobleman...... A daring guy indeed. The chief of Fort Norma took a deep breath, and waved his hand under the inexplicable gaze of the warrior beside him, and the messenger hurriedly left the place as if he had been pardoned, and he could not stay for a moment in this territory full of Flos, for fear that these barbarian fellows would cut off his head and use it as a drinking vessel.

"Chieftain, what are you?"

"Except for a few of you, everyone else is leaving." The chief of Fort Norma didn't explain anything, just let a few of his cronies stay in his tent.

……

"Sir Sir, what you are doing is nothing short of blasphemy against God!" Sir Vahn's face was gloomy, and he was about to turn his sword at Karl.

The other religious knights were equally indignant, as if they would draw their swords at the slightest word from Sir Vahn.

Kevin and Sylvia pressed their hands against the hilts of their swords in a somewhat puffy manner.

"No, Sir Vane my friend, I have never blasphemed God, not now, nor ever will!" Carl did not hesitate to deny this sentence, he did not carry this big hat.

"But you ......"

"What did I do? I have preached the gospel of the Lord to the pagans, what have I done wrong? Proselytizing in pagan chiefs should be something that every Christian aspires to do, right? Karl interrupted him, leaving Sir Vane speechless with a few questions.

Karl was right, even now there are many clergy who preach in foreign territories.

"Don't worry my friend, you see, the soldier is back." The corners of Karl's mouth rose as he gestured to the returning courier.

"Well......" Sir Vane sighed, accepting the result.

……

The chief of Fort Norma walked out of the tent with a dozen warriors, while the other soldiers lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, and there were a few corpses in the tent, which were several warriors who were unwilling to obey the orders of the chief of Fort Norma......

When the chief of Fort Norma approached Dortmund Castle again with the warriors, the soldiers defending the city suddenly became nervous, but they were relieved to see that there were only the chief of Fort Norma and a dozen warriors.

The chief of Fort Norma was also cautious, and stopped after making sure that Karl and the others could not shoot.

Karl, Ser Vahn, and even Kevin were staring at each other as the Chief of Fort Norma and his warriors removed a piece of wood from their necks, which symbolized the gods of the Healom Cult.

The chief of Fort Norma sighed with a complicated face, and swung his sword to split the piece of wood in half, and his warriors followed suit.

"Hahaha, don't send it if you go slowly!" Looking at the back of the chief of Fort Norma who turned around and left without stopping, Karl laughed, this sword represents the establishment of the covenant, and under his compulsion, the chief of Fort Norma signed the alliance under the city!
