Chapter 162 Breaking the City

Nereus remembered Richard's advice, and did not chase him in, but just stood on the head of the city and looked around, murderous? The rest of the Sanctuary and the Constructed Knights could only stare at him, but none of them dared to go over and fight.

During the whole process, Nerith's position was extremely tricky, he used various terrains, and even briefly floated in the air, not only dodging several aids and interceptions from the strong men on the silver sword side, but also keeping his figure at the height of the city wall. And with the painful lesson of the previous Silver Sword Sanctuary being set on fire, as soon as the Silver Sword powerhouse found out that he had the momentum to lure the enemy, they all paid attention to their positions, for fear of becoming the next live target.

After a night of chaos, Silver Sword finally looked forward to the dawn.

All morning, Richard laid out his attack formations under the city, trying to attack in various areas, and each attack was a pause and then a change to the next place.

The walls of Swordwind City are an obstacle for ordinary knights, but not for the knights of Akmund, who are all equipped with magic horses. If the Demon Rider bursts into a charge, it can climb the wall at a height of 30 meters. Coupled with the assistance of the knights, the forty-meter wall of Sword Wind City is also useless.

However, maximizing battle damage is a challenge. The rules of Sword Wind City are not large, but they are completely built in the style of a battle fortress, and there is a hidden passage between the outer and inner walls, and street fighting is not a pleasant thing for cavalry. And Richard's heart beat wildly at the thought of the bet of the Four Princes.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, the time that Richard had agreed with Robert and the Earl of Cilitus, but the two counts' armies did not see a single sight.

When the magic clock pointed to twelve, Richard shrugged and said to Nerith, "An old fox is an old fox, always looking for the best time to make a bet." But sometimes, you only have one chance to bet. ”

On this day, Richard's harassing attacks continued, from early morning until late at night, and the defenders of Sword Wind City were already exhausted, and even the Constructed Knights and the Sacred Domain powerhouses felt a little exhausted. Although they didn't consume much, their mental pressure was extremely high.

Last night's battle in Neres City was amazing, beating the Silver Sword Family's Sacred Domain powerhouse to the point that he was powerless to fight back, vomiting blood and fleeing, directly losing his combat effectiveness. So now the Silver Sword Sanctuary needs to beware of two powerful Sanctuary, the Ogre Lord and Neris, the pressure has directly doubled? Maybe three, because Richard hasn't done it yet.

At dusk, it was overcast, and when night fell, no one noticed that under the clouds in the sky, a few dark clouds appeared at some point, and they were getting bigger. Towards midnight, there were already more than a dozen low-hanging clouds in the sky, each covering an area of several hundred meters? The dark clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and the electric light of jumping could be faintly seen in the depths of the clouds, and it seemed that a lightning bolt might fall at any time, but they only flickered among the clouds and never fell.

There would be fires and screams from the top of the city below, and people had no intention of seeing what was going on overhead.

After a night and a day of intermittent fighting, the ordinary soldiers of the silver sword were extremely tired, and even the eyes of those veterans above the fifth level looked a little dull, most of their fighting spirit had been consumed, and what was even worse was that there was a deep fatigue in their spirits?

Under the city, Richard's knights gathered again and began to approach? The defenders at the head of the city watched numbly, I don't know how many times? Richard's knights, with their overwhelming rank superiority, always rushed to the top of the city, harvesting their lives like mowing grass. Then when you've killed enough, go back. What about those knights in disguise and the lords of the Sanctuary who are usually invincible? What are they doing?

Most of the Constructed Knights and Sanctuary powerhouses were cowering in the city, and the few who dared to rush to the city wall to fight were all beaten to the ground.

It's finally time – Richard raises his right hand and pushes forward!

The 100 spearmen drew the last three burst spears and threw them at the head of the city—flames continued to explode on the city walls, and from time to time several figures could be seen flying up in the flames. The explosions thundered, but the fighters were no longer afraid, no matter how dense the explosions were, they were still standing. They know that if they are hit, they will definitely die, and if they are not hit, they will die later. After three consecutive shots by a hundred spearmen, all the silver sword defenders within a few hundred meters of the city gate were temporarily empty.

Then Richard's hand pointed to the gate, and thirty well-equipped knights rode forward, and threw their spears in unison to the sound of the captain's battle horn—this time a spear that was blackened and forged from Lafite's fine iron, and was an expensive armor-piercing spear.

One by one, the spears flew over a distance of 100 meters and were nailed to the city gate made of stainless steel, and the roots were so deep that they were stalked. Each spear thrust into it caused the gates to rattle and tremble. The aftermath shook the entire tower, and the gray stone fluttered. At this time, the additional Dou Qi began to burst with a lag, superimposed on another round of more deadly fluctuations. After thirty throwing spears, the city gate, which was nearly a meter thick and could resist the full impact of the large siege alchemy machinery, had tilted inward and was crumbling, but it had not completely collapsed.

The earth suddenly began to shake, and Tiramisu roared wildly, and the dark red fighting spirit rose like a burning cloud of blood. Long arrows, spears, and even bed crossbows were fired from the top of the city, all of which were bounced aside by Tiramisu's fierce fighting spirit. The ogre lord rushed all the way to the city gate, holding his war hammer ten tons high, and his two heads inhaled deeply at the same time, and a terrifying dragon dragon dragon suddenly appeared in the air behind him—the dragon's eyes slowly opened, and then let out a silent roar!

Rumble!!

With a roar that silenced the heavens and the earth, two incomparably heavy gates flew upside down into the city and slammed into the ground.

However, for a few knowledgeable people, the huge dragon head phantom behind Tiramisu is the real shock. It wasn't just any dragon, and it wasn't some meaningless, just scary phantom. That's the Chaos Dragon, one of the main gods worshipped by ogres, orcs, dwarves, dragonmen, and other races that worship chaos and violence, and the huge dragon head of dozens of meters is actually less than one-tenth of the true size of the Chaos Dragon's body, and how big the Chaos Dragon really is, in fact, no one can say.

Tiramisu induces the Chaos Dragon's phantom with a single blow, indicating that the Ogre Lord has received the attention of the Chaos Dragon, which often means that the door to the legend has been touched.

On the lookout of the castle of Sword Wind City, Count Fenrir's face turned pale, and a group of Silver Sword Leader masters behind him were shocked. Originally, the biggest reliance of the silver sword was the strength of the city defense of Sword Wind City, and the besieging side without large siege equipment could only fight a war of attrition, and it could support the arrival of reinforcements no matter what. However, the city gate was directly smashed open by manpower in such an unheard of way, and the defenses of Sword Wind City immediately came to naught.

Richard's tactics were always unexpected, and he actually bombarded the city gates with the throwing spears of the constructed knights. You must know that in a day, the first-order constructed knight only has the ability to throw a spear with full force three times at most, even if Richard's constructed knight has a higher average level, it will not exceed four times. He actually used a knight to attack the city gate—no, he also used an ogre lord, and after delivering a blow as powerful as just now, that Heavenly Sanctuary level ogre lord would be able to use the power of the Sanctuary at most once today...... It's just a waste.

No matter how extravagant Richard was, the city defense of Sword Wind City had been broken, and it was a scuffle in the blink of an eye.

"Order—Construct the knights to send out, block the gates—" Fenrir commanded, and the horn beside him immediately blew the trombone, and the sound of long and short trumpets resounded throughout the city. The Constructed Knights, who had gathered in a small field, began to gather their fighting spirits and turned to the avenue leading to the city gates.

The Count said suddenly, "Wait a minute—let the Knights of the Constructed Knights stop, and the Third Heavy Infantry Battalion will top—the Fifth and Sixth Guard Battalions will follow." ”

As soon as this order was given, everyone was stunned. Now that the battlefield is extremely dangerous, it is common sense to use the Constructed Knight on the most critical battlefield. And the knights in the costume have already moved, why do they suddenly have to take it back.

"Do as it is—" the Count snorted again. The herald immediately sounded the battle horn, and the knights who had already advanced heard the battle horn and stopped their horses one after another, and there was chaos again.

The Silver Sword Guards are still under the castle, they are all composed of the children of the Silver Sword family, their loyalty is unquestionable, and they are all quasi-constructed knights, so the old earl's value for this army is no less than that of the constructed knights, and they have never been used in this war.

Those with good eyesight have seen rows of black, gray, and black-armored knights pouring in from the collapsed gates, their hideous appearance and strict formation have long been known. These knights are the Darkblade Knights, known as the Constructed Killers. As soon as they see their opponent's constructed knights, they will ignore a qiē and rush forward to attack like crazy, and they will not stop fighting.

At this time, the Silver Sword Lords understood what Count Fenrir meant, and let the ordinary warriors go first, serving as cannon fodder to consume the power of the Gloomy Knight. Otherwise, if you use the Constructed Knight to fight the Knight of the Dark Blade head-on, the whole army will be destroyed.

Fenrir's decision cannot be said to be wrong, but the sudden change of orders at this time made the heavy infantry clearly know the identity of their cannon fodder, and their morale dropped instantly. The hoplites who had no intention of fighting to the death were instantly scattered by the Darkblade Knights, who were much higher in rank, and after a little resistance, they scattered and fled. And behind them, two infantry battalions that were supposed to fill the gap were nowhere to be seen.

At this time, the dark clouds in the sky, after receiving Richard's excitation signal, finally ceased to be reserved, and poured down the thunder and lightning that had been brewing for a long time. Lightning slammed to the ground, houses collapsed, knights set fires, and ordinary civilians fell in scorched black.
