Chapter 58: Siege Warfare

The next day, the alien army launched a siege battle.

As the vanguard of the gnoll attack, they did not use the tools like siege ladders, but only carried a lot of large trees with branches removed to the city wall, one end into the earth, the other end against the city wall, although the top of the tree did not cross the city wall, but it was not more than two meters away from the city head, and this distance, the gnolls were enough to jump up.

The howls, the sounds of fighting, the war has not yet entered the white heat, and it has already revealed a bit of the cruel characteristics of the battlefield.

The soldiers defending the city were clad in armor and did not retreat, and if a gnolls jumped up, they would first use their spears to pierce them, often six times out of ten, and the poorly equipped gnolls could not stop the sharp spears with their flesh alone.

However, the spear is not always meritorious, and some gnolls react quickly, and can split the piercing spear with a single knife, and then jump into the crowd to the left and right, often taking the life of a soldier with a single knife. And at this time, it is necessary to deal with soldiers with swords and swords.

In the narrow terrain of the city, one looks at strength, two looks at equipment, and three looks at courage.

Except for the equipment that was a little worse, the gnolls were better than the defenders in both other things.

Fortunately, the soldiers defending the city had the advantage in numbers, and even if the gnolls were brave, they were repeatedly deflated.

Outside the city of Plenty, Toifil Worf and four other knights of the alien race kept a close distance from the city walls, which could not only deter the other party, but also not be easily attacked.

To Toifele's satisfaction, the Grand Knight of Plenty did not take part in the battle.

Since the great knight of Rich City did not participate in the battle, he was also happy to see it, just enough to consume the gnolls, I really don't know how they are so good at ......

Ahem, Toifler interrupted his thoughts with a light cough.

Although the arrangement of the tribe has this meaning, it must not be said outside, and if it angers the gnolls, it will be a troublesome matter.

"Wagner, did you spot last night's big knight?" Toiffele stared straight at the battlefield ahead, but asked the werewolf knight beside him.

The 'Great Knight' in his mouth is naturally Just, and Toifele has a high interest in him.

"No, the other party doesn't seem to be on the city wall, or he's hiding behind the crowd, and I haven't found him anyway."

"Whenever you see him, alert me immediately."

"Good!"

Above the city walls, although William did not let the great knights fight, the knight-level warriors of the garrison legion were all sent out, and they were firmly rooted in the city like nails, so that the gnolls could not enter.

After a short time, two soldiers came up with a gnolloll in tow, and after some torture, they came up with some information about the alien race.

William's main concern was naturally how many great knight-level masters there were in the alien race, and he didn't even think about whether there would be someone more powerful than the big knight, this possibility was almost zero.

It's not that there are no such masters in the alien race, it's just that there is no need to dispatch such masters when attacking Rich City.

According to the cultivation level of Dou Qi, there are several levels:

Knight Apprentice - Knight - Grand Knight - Silver Knight - Gold Knight ......

As far as the Kingdom of Sydes is concerned, the Silver Knight is already at the top of the combat power, and in the entire kingdom, the number of Silver Knight is no more than ten, or even less.

As for whether there is a Golden Knight, William does not know, he has never seen a Golden Knight.

His swordsmanship teacher, Salvatore, is just a great knight, but Salvatore is a little special.

It is rumored that Salvatore has touched the threshold of the Silver Knight, and it is for this reason that the king will put him in control of the Knights of the Thornblade.

Back to the point, the reason why William didn't let Scott and others make a move was to inquire about the enemy's intelligence.

According to the information obtained from the torture, William initially learned that there were only five great knights in the team of the alien attack.

"Only five......

As soon as he heard this number, William was still a little surprised, how could only five great knight masters dare to invade the Barron Territory, you must know that he has three people, Guland, Scott, and Just, and Justter can fight one against two.

Coupled with the infinite power of fire-based magic, Serrani will not lose to the other party.

When I thought about it, I understood.

There are already a lot of five great knights of different races, but William's power is too strong, you must know that the previous Barron Lord, at most, will not exceed two big knights, so he is naturally invincible to foreign races.

But if William lacks an important subordinate, it will be very dangerous to face this alien attack.

"My lord, are we going to take the initiative?"

After learning the details of the other party, Scott couldn't sit still.

"No, it's still too much to take the initiative."

After a few deep breaths, William said in a deep voice: "The best way is to seduce their great knights to attack the city, and then we will surprise and solve one first, so that we can create a breakthrough." ”

Subsequently, William asked Gooland and Scott to join the defense of the city.

Two of their great knights joined the war and took the gnolls by surprise.

Just like a college sports student beating a kindergarten child, punch by punch, kick by kick, no jackal can resist the front blow of the big knight.

In a short moment, the momentum of the alien attack came to an abrupt end, and the gnolls who were about to enter the city listened to the screams of their compatriots coming from the top of the city, and the corpses that flew down, and their hearts were cold.

The opponent's big knight has joined the battle, how can this be played?

Toifler was the first to notice the situation, and his brows were slightly condensed.

Why did the other party suddenly send a big knight to join the battle, this is not in line with the rules, and among the two big knights who shot, there was no Just.

At this moment, the leader of the gnolls, Solvay Ersor, spoke.

"The enemy's great knight has made a move, and the vanguard can retreat, right?"

He had to speak, because in just a few minutes, more than a hundred gnolls had died at the hands of the two Gourands, and if he continued, the whole team he had brought with him would be finished, and when the time came to return to the tribe, the chief would not let him go.

"Don't rush, you can let them slow down their attack first, but they don't have to retreat." Toifler interrupted Solvay's thoughts, looked at Wagner and Hayera, and said: "The enemy may be seducing us to make a move, but we can do it, you two strike first, I will follow, if the other party really has a trap, just come to a counter-encirclement." ”

"I don't think the other party has such an unrealistic idea. Even if the three of them attacked at the same time, it would be impossible to defeat me and Hayera in a short period of time, and they would be killing themselves at that time. ”

"That's not necessarily, according to the strength of Justter you described yesterday, if he suddenly strikes, you may really be in danger."

"Well, that's what you listen to."
