The Hunting Fortress is located in the northwest of the Kingdom of Jeppen, at the entrance to the Samurai Mountains. Half of the fortress is embedded in the mountain wall, which gives it natural shelter. On the side facing Aotran, there are towering ramparts. The walls connected the mountain roads that were not very wide, and even an army of a thousand men could not be deployed.

If you want to attack the hunting fortress from the front, I am afraid that you will have to pay a huge price. Leaving the fortress alone would have to trek hundreds of miles and endure the consequences of the soldiers in the fortress raiding from time to time and harassing the supply lines. Therefore, in order to attack the kingdom of Jeppen, the hunting fortress must be taken. Throughout history, Otlan and Jeppen have clashed many times, and finally stopped hunting under the walls of the fortress. The fortress has been through battle, but it has never been captured.

When Curt saw the majesty of the hunting fortress with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel sorry. The ten-metre-high walls are made entirely of stone, and it's hard to imagine how many workers had to be sacrificed to build them. Behind the battlements stood tall arrow towers, next to which were catapults. By ordinary standards, the defensive system of a hunting fortress is quite complete.

Only one drawbridge connects the entrance to the fortress, and below it is an artificial channel five or six meters wide. The altitude is relatively high, so the temperature is very low. If you fall into the river wearing armor, you will be frozen and drowned.

If Otlan's army alone were to attack the city, I'm afraid it would be useless to have 3,000 soldiers. They will be covered by a rain of arrows from the city, and they will continue to lose troops. The siege equipment could not withstand the blows of catapults, as well as boiling oil and falling rocks. On the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road, there are also wooden buildings reserved for archers. If you rush to the city walls, the situation will turn into a one-sided massacre.

Commander Valen refers to the hunting fortress. Ticurt and Hank, as explained the situation. Years ago he took part in the assault on a hunting fortress. I still remember the fiasco at that time. Wallen noted. The archers must be swept away from the cliffs at all costs. After that, the siege can officially begin, otherwise there is no chance of victory.

"Sounds ...... It shouldn't be that hard, right?"

Curt said casually, not feeling any pressure. Cliffs are a great enemy for warriors, but they can't stop flying mages. Hank also looked unimpressed, looking confident.

Because of the lack of time, the army that had conquered Jeppen camped in a clearing several miles away from the hunting fortress. This time the Gurant king gathered eight hundred warriors and two hundred cavalry. Removing the necessary manpower to maintain internal law and order is already the limit of the military power he can use. Plus more than two hundred baggage troops. The mighty is also quite impressive.

That night, Curt, Kate Lankate, and Hank met privately to discuss a specific plan for the attack. Hank has no worries about this, and he is even thinking about how to retain his strength.

"There's no need to use mass teleportation, we'll save the trump card for later. With the strength we have, we have no problem taking the hunting fortress. All it is necessary to suppress the archers on the hill and at the head of the city with their guns, and then force the sword of sacrifice to break through from the front. In half a day at most, you will be able to take the perimeter of the fortress. ”

This is a very royal argument, and Curt must agree with it. But after a moment of careful consideration, Curt also came up with his idea. In Curt's opinion. Onslaught will bring unnecessary losses. After all, sacrificial swords are not invincible, and they cannot be undamaged by the indiscriminate bombardment of boiling oil and stones.

And compared to the four sacrificial swords who were responsible for defending Curt. The thirty sacrificial swords that Hank brought with him were also much inferior. Their armor is pure steel, which can only be compensated for with large shields. After all, Mithril is an extremely rare metal, and even Ioham can't just get a few thousand kilograms out of it.

So Curt proposed an improved plan, which was unanimously supported by Lankite and Hank. They spend time discussing and going through the specific steps one by one. After communicating with Baron William, who was in charge of the battlefield command, and making the other party happy, the matter was arranged. Led by Baron William, assisted by Valen and Rodney, the first qiē went very smoothly.

Early the next morning, the siege battle officially began. Under Rodney's command, the soldiers set up siege equipment with great fanfare. These machines take up a lot of space in heavy trucks and naturally have their value. Within two hours, ten six-meter-high mobile arrow towers were assembled. In addition to this, there are two ladder trucks with very strong construction.

On the walls of the hunting fortress, Roger Cree was observing the situation under the guard of the priests and the Guards. He was the supreme commander of the fortress and the official worship of the Marquis. The use of a marquis to rule a fortress is a testament to the importance that Jepon attached to hunting fortresses. Moreover, Roger's family has been guarding it for generations, and is very familiar with the hunting fortress.

"It's just a bunch of junkies, and the god of the guardians will punish them. ”

As the Marquis de Roger Creques inspected the situation, a priest next to him spoke. He was dressed in a robe with an iron glove insignia, and his face was full of contempt. As the spokesman of the god of the guard, Haim, he participated in many siege battles and had absolute confidence in repelling the Otlan army.

Marquis Roger didn't answer, what he was really afraid of was Thousand Laws City. It was only a short time since Jeppen and Britannia joined forces to defeat Otlan. Since Aotran dared to counterattack, it showed that he had something to rely on.

So the Marquis of Roger Creekry scanned the enemy line with suspicion, trying to find out what was wrong. Under his watchful eye, ten mobile arrow towers were approaching. Alteran's main forces remained in the rear, arrayed out of reach of arrows and catapults. They waited quietly, the queues well segregated.

It's so ordinary that it feels weird.

With such an idea, the Marquis of Rogéclery ordered the archers to enter the position and shoot from the cliffs on both sides. Although the mobile tower has been fireproofed, the rockets stained with black oil can still stick to it, and the entire tower will be hot. It won't be long before the people in the arrow tower will be forced out and become targets.

To the surprise of the Marquis of Rogeric, the moving arrow tower stopped at a great distance. The plank directly in front of the tower was removed, revealing an arcane hunter with a black cloak and a rifle. Heim's priest snorted, looking very disdainful. In his opinion, ten arcane hunters would not be able to make a decent attack at all. Without saying a word, one of the guards on the side pounced and crushed the Marquis of Rogierry to the ground. He was a member of the Silver Spear team that survived and knew how terrifying the power of guns could be.

In the next second, neat gunshots rang out. No arcane hunter has the same shooting skills as Cameron, and he is perfect at a distance of two hundred meters. Before Heim's priest could react, he was shot in the chest and in the forehead, and the whole person fell upside down, and he was completely dead in an instant. Several non-commissioned officers who were commanding their subordinates were also hit by bullets and killed instantly.

Less than two seconds later, the gunshots rang out again. The arcane hunter searched for every living person on the city walls, and coldly pulled the trigger. By the time Jeppen's soldiers figured out the situation, they had already lost more than two dozen men. The smell of blood wafted down from the city, and in the blink of an eye, there was no human figure on the city walls.

"They're probably going to try their luck with catapults. ”

Baron William smiled and speculated, really happy. In the past, when attacking hunting fortresses in Aotran, there were often mountains of corpses piled up under the city, and there was almost no loss on the city walls. It's a great joy to be able to turn the situation upside down today. Curt on the side was a little distracted, he knew that his arcane focus was useless. Because on the cliffs on both sides, the sudden unrest is expanding. - While the mobile arrow tower attracts the attention of the enemy, the sacrificial swords blessed with stealth attack attack. They use flotation to climb up cliffs, then raise their swords and bladed shields to kill.

Looking at the whole of 6, there are only a handful of armies that can fight head-on with the Sword of Sacrifice. The archers on the cliffs are not even as good as ordinary warriors, so naturally they have no power to resist. In addition to bows and arrows, they only had a short sword for self-defense. As a result, twenty sacrificial swords covered the past, and they did not encounter decent resistance at all.

Often, the sacrificial sword swings its weapon, and the enemy's body is sliced open along with the dagger. By the time the sacrificial swords all climbed the cliff and advanced in a bronze and ironclad formation, it could really only be described as invincible.

The screams of the archers could be heard from afar, making Marquis Rogierry, who was hiding behind the battlements, pale at the ear. He ordered the rope bridge connecting the city walls to the cliffs to be cut off, which was unthinkable. Under the harsh shape, the belief that the hunting fortress was never conquered became the only pillar. The Marquis of Roger Creekry thought anxiously, trying to find an opportunity to fight back.

But under the suppression of the guns of the arcane hunters, the people on the city wall could not even lift their heads. As soon as any living creature appeared in the sight of the arcane hunter, it would immediately be shot into a sieve.

Within twenty minutes, the Sword of Sacrifice had finished crushing the cliff. Sixty arcane hunters were then sent to the cliff to occupy the vantage ground and blockade the walls.

"Hands-on. ”

Baron William raised his hand and gave the order. He couldn't believe that things could go so smoothly, and it seemed that the battle would be over in half a day. Two ladder carts rumbled forward towards the walls of the fortress. They are in the form of slender trapezoids, with the main body being a staircase capable of accommodating two warriors to climb side by side.

When the ladder cart approached the wall, the ten sacrificial swords rushed forward first. The walls were littered with unused stones, and boiling oil pots burned beside them. The Swords of Sacrifice began to sweep coldly, followed by four hundred unharmed Otlan warriors. In a short time, the number of people attacking the walls increased dramatically. On both sides of the cliffs, gunshots were constantly heard, indicating that the defenders of the fortress were being shot and falling. (To be continued......)
