Chapter 017 (Battle for the City Wall)

Golden Tooth City, outside the East City Gate.

Illuminated by the torch at the head of the city, Oster Lane led hundreds of knights in silver armor galloping towards the city gates. The dusty knights had been on the road day and night for two days in a row, and their expressions looked a little tired, but they still couldn't hide their mighty bodies and the momentum of their strong men.

Oster Lane looked up at the city and shouted, "Open the gates." "When he was still on the road dozens of miles away from the Golden Tooth City, he had already seen the sky-high flames burning in the city.

After a few breaths, the heavy and wide gate was slowly opened from the inside by a dozen soldiers, and before the wide gate was fully opened, the knights were already galloping through with their commander.

When Oster entered the city, he was shocked by the tragic sight before him. He rolled over and dismounted, stopped a group of soldiers passing by, and asked, "Why is there fire everywhere in the city, what happened?"

"Lord Knight," replied the captain of the banner, who commanded the soldiers, "it was all caused by the canisters of fire oil thrown by the trebuchet, and the army of House Targaryen was storming the western wall at the moment. ”

"Then why don't you defend the city?" Oster asked sharply.

"Werewolves are attacking the city, and we have been ordered to rid them of these monsters. Captain Qi explained.

"Knight Rex," Oster instructed his men beside him, "lead your knights to assist them." "These ferocious monsters must not be allowed to disturb the whole situation of the war, or the city will be in chaos before the walls are breached.

"Yes, sir. The long-faced knight in a T-shaped steel helmet replied respectfully.

After leaving these words, Oster stepped on his horse and galloped down the street towards the western wall, followed by the knights of the Knights of Glory.

War is like a cruel and merciless sword, without mercy and tolerance, there is only victory and defeat.

The Targaryen army exhausted all the means it could to attack, hiring murderous werewolves to lurk in the city to cause chaos, using trebuchets to drop countless stone projectiles and canisters on the city until all the ammunition was exhausted. They heard the city groaning and trembling, but it didn't fall.

Tens of thousands of densely packed troops collectively attacked the city, and the tall towers rumbled forward slowly, and the long ladders buckled the city walls in front of them, and rows of soldiers swarmed up.

Shouts of death abounded inside and outside the walls, and the Targaryen army was demoralized and fought to the death, fighting for land and honor. And the defenders on the city wall also did not hesitate to fight with their lives, and they fought for their homes and relatives.

The soldiers on both sides of the city wall fought in pieces, and countless corpses were piled up on the narrow road of the city wall, and the scene became more and more tragic. There were fewer and fewer soldiers holding the walls, and there was a steady stream of enemies climbing the walls, and these enemies were like fierce and fearless beasts at the moment, and the sharp weapons in their hands were like sharp fangs, ferociously biting the prey in front of them.

The ram under the city wall slammed into the gate violently under the full swing of the soldiers, and each impact could make the soldiers feel the wide gate in front of them trembling and loosening. And this means that victory is also getting closer and closer to them.

Built in the towers on both sides of the gates, the archers continued to shoot arrows, one by one at the enemies who wielded the rams. One of the soldiers wielding a ram under the gates fell, and at the command of the commander, another backup soldier took over.

When more than a dozen behemoths were slowly pushed in front of the city wall by the soldiers, the whole battle situation will become more intense. The towers were almost as tall as the city walls, and heavy planks fell from inside the towers. Planks were placed on the opposite wall, and rows of heavily armored soldiers rushed up the planks and rushed towards the wall.

In the blink of an eye, there were many times more enemies on the battlements, and the originally superior defenders had to face more enemies, and under the leadership of Sir Randy, they were fearless and desperately killed the enemy. One by one, the bodies fell, in exchange for another enemy rush and kill.

Under Sir Bob's orders, the soldiers cut the thick ropes, and the boulder hanging from the city gate fell straight down, and the ram under the gate collapsed, crushing it to pieces with thousands of pounds of boulders, and the soldiers under the ram were killed and wounded. Sir Leon led his men, using bows and arrows, boiling oil, and stones, to repel enemy attacks again and again. The Golden Tooth City was turned into a sea of blood, and although the opponent was outnumbered and attacked fiercely, it was still impossible to take the city from him.

The horror of the war forced Earl Lorak Targaryen to frown, and as a commander, he was physically and mentally exhausted by the constant death and wounding of his soldiers. The warriors of Duke Philip in the Golden Land are known for their bravery and skill. But he didn't expect that an army of 30,000 would fight so hard against 3,000 soldiers defending the city. The price paid was far greater than he expected.

Baron Kewen, who was commanding the battle on the battlefield ahead, looked at the battle on the opposite wall with an iron face. He had thought that it would only take a short time to take the city in front of him, but now he found that the behemoth in front of him was as tough as an iron bucket. But he was still convinced that the Targaryens' army would be able to break through the city, and that there were only 3,000 soldiers defending the city, and they would not be able to hold out for long without backup.

At this moment, Oster Lane appeared at the foot of the West City Gate, he drew his sword, and led the LinkedIn brave knights to rush to the city wall.

The soldiers on both sides of the city are fighting frantically, the enemy's strength advantage is gradually expanding, and the appearance of the Knights of Glory gives hope to the soldiers who are deflated by the defense of the city.

Any enemy who stands in the way of the Grand Knight Auster will fall under the sword in his hand. The knights fought bravely behind him. Mercilessly slay down one enemy after another who climbed the walls.

"Kill, kill all these enemies. The bloodied Sir Lyon hissed and roared. He lost count of how many enemies he had cut down, and how many of his men had fallen.

The wide gate under the city wall was blocked by a huge stone, and no matter how many soldiers the commander sent, he could not pry the boulder weighing thousands of pounds. In the arrow towers on both sides of the city gate, arrows were constantly being shot at the soldiers who wanted to move the boulders.

Count Lorak, who had watched this scene from afar, could not sit still, he held the golden wand in his hand, and staggered to an open field. At this moment, he will cast a spell as a golden-robed magister to help his soldiers break through the gates on the opposite side.

The old man raised his hand and raised his wand, chanting a complicated incantation in a low voice. Suddenly, a golden light flashed from the wand in the old man's hand, and in an instant, it burrowed into the ground and disappeared. Suddenly, the earth trembled under his feet, the flat ground cracked in front of him, and the earth under the ground continued to bulge, only to see five clay colossas more than ten feet tall appearing in front of him.

After the spell was completed, the old man's wrinkled face was a little weak, this powerful spell consumed a lot of his mental power, which was also quite related to his age.

These clay giants have the same hands, feet, and indistinct faces as humans, but these clay giants have no eyes, no breath, and no life, and the only thing that sustains them is the mysterious and unpredictable element of magic. Driven by the spell of the Magister Lorak, they drove their massive bodies towards the opposite wall, shards of dirt falling from them.

In the arrow tower of the city wall, a rain of arrows shot at the behemoths on the opposite side, but it had no effect at all.

The Dirt Giants rushed to the foot of the city wall with a rain of arrows shot at them, and the boulder that was blocking under the city gate moved aside with the combined force of the two Earth Giants. Then they slammed directly into the city gate in front of them with their huge bodies, and the impact was so violent that large areas of earth kept falling from them.

Lorak did not order the other three Dirt Giants to attack the walls, which were not only filled with enemies, but also his soldiers. The targets of the Earth Giant's attacks were the towering towers, and the archers who hid in the towers to shoot dark arrows inflicted too many casualties on his soldiers.

The clay giant slammed his thick fist into the arrow tower in front of him, and with each collision, he could see the dirt and gravel falling off continuously. The clay giants lifted the towers from top of their heads, and the archers hiding inside were unobstructed in front of the enemy, and groups of soldiers frantically rushed towards them.

Two tall knights rushed forward and fought, fighting the enemies who climbed the turrets, while the archers threw away their longbows and drew their short knives to fight the enemy. Count Gavin, who was hiding in the corner, shouted in a panic, "Someone, help!"

Seeing this, Oster suddenly flew forward, waved his sword, only to see the starlight, the sword rushed, straight into the body of the earth giant, stirring up bursts of mud and dust, the mud and stone colossus seemed to be unable to withstand Oster's blow, and even made a sonorous sound of gold and iron strikes, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of the colossus, and then slowly shattered, turning into a pile of dirt and rubble.

Sir Leon led the guards to the arrow tower on the right, and although he hated his nephew, he could not bear to let his sister's only son die in front of him. He was the first to climb the arrow tower, and the sword in his hand swung away, and a human head fell to the ground on the opposite side. The four steel-helmeted guards were even more brave, and they slammed into the enemies standing in front of them.

After rescuing his frightened nephew, Sir Lyon instructed, "Take him to the Earl's Castle, and don't be so embarrassed." ”

"Yes, Lord Leon. Two guardian knights escorted Count Gavin to the city walls.

Sir Leon and his guards occupied the bare tower to keep the enemy at bay as they climbed the walls, while the few surviving archers took cover.

One after another of the earth giants were reduced to small hillsides outside the city walls under Oster's powerful onslaught, but they still caused loosening and cracking in the thick gates, and the arrow towers on the walls were damaged by them. The archers had almost nowhere to hide, and arrows were constantly flying at them from outside the outer walls.

The war continues, the fighting continues, the offense and the defense, the victory and the defeat, all will surround this strong and unyielding wall.
