Chapter 019 (Dawn of Dawn)
The wolf hour was near, the moonlight and stars were gone, and the night was getting thicker.
War is the feast of death, the soul of the dead will be imprisoned in the abyss of the earth, and the flesh may be the vulture's dinner.
Flocks of vultures spread their wings and hovered over the night with their greedy faces exposed, the smell of blood drawing them from their nests.
The black shadows on the top of the city were dense, the blades of the blades kept waving in the air, the light and shadow of the blades shining in the dark night, and the sound of steel clashing loudly in front of the ears.
There were thousands of corpses around the walls, and the blood stained the whole land red. The fierce fighting continued, the frenzied enemy kept attacking, the soldiers defending the city had almost nowhere to retreat, and the battlements were filled with corpses.
Oster Lane led the knights of the Knights of Glory to hold on, and Sir Leon Belmont led the warriors of the city defense regiment to fight, although they were exhausted, they still fought to the death, for honor, for home, and for their loved ones.
Beneath the city walls, the last of the bulky crash cars were charred by pitch-black tar, dozens of charred corpses were piled up under the city gates, and the Targaryen heavy soldiers who had climbed the walls were nowhere to be seen. After repelling the enemy's fourth assault on the city, the defenders on the city walls took a brief respite.
The soldiers then threw the corpses on the walls of the city outside the city, not only the corpses of the enemy, but also their comrades who fought side by side. They had to make enough roads on the walls to move their bodies in the shortest possible time.
"Let the enemy tremble before us, warriors!" said Sir Leon, sword raised, "let them pay with their blood and their lives for their foolish deeds." ”
In the face of a desperate situation, the momentum of the soldiers needs to be boosted at all times. All Sir Leon could do at this moment was to use his indignant words to motivate the soldiers to continue to fight to the death.
"Brave knights, you will die in battle tonight, but the honor will live on with you forever," Sir Oster said, "show your skills, ignite your fighting spirit, and let the enemies of the city see the roar of the Glorious Knights!"
"Swear to the death to protect the glory. Rex, the long-faced knight, echoed.
"Swear to protect glory," all the knights on the city wall echoed in unison, "swear to protect glory, swear to protect glory." ”
……
"Sir Oster," said Sir Leon, in a deep voice, "if you hadn't led the Knights of Glory in time, I'm afraid this city would have been breached by the enemy." ”
"Sir Leon, it is you who command the right way to keep the enemy out of the walls. "It's a privilege to stand with you against a strong enemy," Oster insisted. He admired the middle-aged man's command ability on the battlefield.
"If we can hold out until dawn, maybe we can go to the battlefield together again. "Sir Lyon is not afraid of death, and he will not choose to kill himself in the face of strong enemies, only by saving his life can he regain his honor.
Oster said in a firm tone, "Sir Leon, I will fight with you to the last drop of blood. Before leaving, Duke Philip had instructed him to go to the Golden Tooth City to obey Sir Lyon's command.
Outside the West City Gate, inside the Targaryen army camp.
"Commander," Baron Curwen respectfully pleaded, "his subordinates are willing to personally lead their soldiers into battle and capture the city." "The time has come, there are not many soldiers left to defend the city, and he only needs to take this opportunity to take the city, and he will be able to make a victory.
"Are you sure, Curwen?" asked Count Lorac in a deep voice. Several strong attacks failed to take the opposite wall, and he was suspicious of the young knight in front of him.
"If you can't take the city, your subordinates will be punished for their own crimes. Kewen's face was firm, giving people a feeling of confidence.
Count Lorak frowned and pondered for a moment, "Baron Curwen listens," he said sharply, "I order you to lead your army to continue the siege of the city." Since the junior of the family has this confidence, he decided to give the other party a chance.
"Yes, sir. Kewen took the order and left.
The battle horn of "Woo Woo
One by one, the figures climbed to the top of the city, and the soldiers guarding the battlements gave them a head-on blow at that moment. But the narrow battle line of the city wall will always have a leak, and the enemy figure will take the opportunity to frantically swarm up.
As a great knight, Oster has otherworldly strength, but he is also a little overwhelmed by absolute numbers. The enemy pounced on him like a beast, leaving scratches on his body. And the sharp sword in his hand will swing out one sword after another, tearing apart the flesh and blood in front of him.
The knights of the silver armor and steel helmets are not afraid of any strong enemy, they always rush to the forefront of the battle, and stab their swords at the enemies who stand in their way. I saw a knight with several swords holding the bodies of several enemy soldiers and jumping straight to the city wall, and at the moment of death, he did not forget to kill the enemy to protect the city.
Although the shorter Sir Lyon did not have a strong physique or strength, his fierce and courageous attacks made the enemy unable to advance or retreat, and the guards who guarded him were also heroic.
Baron Corvin Targaryen, clad in heavy gray armor, climbed the city wall himself, drew his sword from its scabbard and led his own guards into battle. At this moment, he was determined to take the city, and then kill all the enemies in the city to relieve his wrath.
Count Lorak saw the momentum of the opposing army's defending city, and he couldn't help but shudder, and his face was dark. With so many casualties just to capture a city, it would take all the armies to swallow up the entire Golden Lands. The old man closed his eyes and pondered, he could not pay too heavy a price, and he had to break the dominance of the Islamic family in the Golden Land in other aspects.
At this moment, the Golden Tooth City was dim, and the houses and streets were almost empty. Tens of thousands of civilians had fled dozens of miles outside the city with the soldiers led by Sir Randy. Most of the people were forced out of the city by the soldiers before they could pack their bags and prepare their supplies, as well as their belongings. There are also a few people who tie their latches and hide in their houses and refuse to leave, after all, this is their home, and their wealth and land are in the city. Time was running out, and the soldiers had to make their choice.
Gavin rode along the road on his fast horse, accompanied by Sir Bob and the other knights, who had now galloped dozens of miles away.
The dark clouds that covered the sky gradually receded, and the battle on the city walls quietly ended.
The wide gates under the city walls were slowly opened, and the soldiers waiting outside the gates poured into the city in droves. The soldiers need to vent their pent-up anger, and they will also plunder whatever they can.
Baron Curvin finally got his wish and took the castle, and his first order was to slaughter all the people in the city. He wanted to show the world that the Targaryens would walk the talk, and that was the consequence of not accepting surrender.
By the time they repelled the enemy's fifth attack, the figures of Sir Leon and Sir Oster had quietly disappeared from the city walls. They led the last remaining men to ride their horses from the east gate. Sir Lyon did his duty, and abandoning the city did not mean defeat and cowardice, but in order to be able to retake the city that belonged to them from the enemy in the near future.
The dawn of dawn lifts the light veil of night, spits out the brilliant morning light, and ushers in a new day.
