Chapter 014 (Battle of Salt Town)

The twilight was blank, and the day was contending with the growing dark, and the night was huddled, clinging to the sun, and covering the earth with its thick, damp curtains. There are a few white silk strips of white clouds in the sky, painted with a layer of morning red, like bright and dazzling colored satin, decorating the early morning sky.

A rainbow pulled out of the misty ravine, drew an arc in the sky, and fell into the ravine, its colors were distinct and dazzling, like a huge colorful arch bridge connecting the huge peaks on the east and west sides of Yanzhen.

Last night's storm held back the Targaryen army outside the walls, and also brought a brief respite to the armor soldiers defending the city.

The war is getting more and more intense, and the casualties are getting more and more tragic. The battle for the city walls lasted for seven days and seven nights, resulting in the death toll of soldiers on both sides exceeding five thousand. The number of soldiers defending the city was less than 500, and the number of knights of the Knights of Glory had also dropped by several hundred. There are only more than 700 people left in the combat strength of the entire salt town. The Targaryen army had more than 4,000 dead soldiers, more than three times as many as the defenders. The elite tarantula knight brigade of the Mitiag family has also been wiped out.

The rising sun in the east heralds another bloody day. I wonder how many soldiers will not see the dusk of sunset?

The 'giant' stood proudly on the city wall with Thor's warhammer on his sturdy shoulders, looking down on the enemy below the wall. His round leopard eyes shimmered with fiery power that shocked people.

"The day is dawn! The enemy must have been frightened in the face of us, the offspring of the bear and the wolf! Even now, the enemy's heart is full of fear. Luke Ness exclaimed impassionedly, "Valiant knights! And famous. I don't think anything can change that today. His voice pierced through the clouds and into the sky. It was so loud that even the deaf could hear.

"Glory will always be ours," roared Henry Sweet, who stood to the left of Captain Luke. "Not even the gods can take away our glory from our sword. "This is a thick-lined man, with broad shoulders, a tall build, strong limbs, a tall chest, and a whole body as strong as a grizzly bear.

No one dared to question his combat prowess, and the giant axe in his hand had countless heads cut off. Henry Sweet was one of the five most powerful knights in the Golden Lands, having single-handedly defeated twenty well-armed and sturdy knights.

The five most powerful knights in the Golden Land are ranked in order: "Luke Ness 'The Giant', Robert Redwin 'The Lion', Bowen Ness 'The Shark', Wicks 'The Strong', Henry Sweet 'Grizzly'. 」

"Today is a good day to die! a good day to meet the gods!" declared Rhaegar Frey, who stood on the other side of the giant. "Let's send many of our wailing enemies to the god of hell!" he was the best knight of all the knights of the Knights of Glory.

Tall, handsome, chivalrous, gentle and considerate, good at getting along with women, Rhaegar Frey is known as the "Flower of Knights". The Knights of Rhaegar are not only very popular in the Golden Land, but also have a good reputation throughout the Cania Federation. Duke Philip, the ruler of the Golden Land, trusted him even more.

Henry Sweet and Rhaegar Frey are not only the right-hand men of Captain Luke, but they are also ranked in the top 20 among all the knights in the Golden Land. At the same time, the two of them are also candidates for the next head of the Knights of Glory.

"Now, brethren, it's time to get down to business. Knight Henry blunted his shield with his great axe and ordered in a loud voice, "Put on your armor and pick up your shield." Pay attention to orders. Our enemies have gathered. ”

On the city walls, the knights leaning under the battlements rose to straighten up their torn armor and hold the uneven shields resting aside, while leather-clad soldiers stood on either side of the knights with spears or swords. There are very few archers left in the tower. After last night's rest, their tired faces looked a little refreshed.

"The enemy is coming! It looks like they're ready to die! Warriors!Pick up your sword! Prepare for battle!" Leon Belmont, who was standing on the other side of the wall, roared, "We're here to stop them, we're here to fight." Here they die, take their shields. Hold on to your spears, warriors. Remember today, this day will always be yours. His grey eyes were cold and merciless, perhaps Sir Lyon was the shortest of all the soldiers, but no one doubted his abilities.

Sir Bob and Sir Randy are still at the side of Lord Belmont, while Baron Kane Grell is guarded by his close confidant, Knight Rand. Baron Kane has no worries, even if he dies on this wall, he will die without regrets. A few days ago, eight knights loyal to the Greer family had escorted the baron's wife and all his possessions out of Salt Town.

The cowardly Earl Gavin also left with the knights of the Grell family, and they were on their way to Raven Grove, but their final stop was Rocky Harbor. Baron Kane and Earl Gavin did not know that Rock Harbour was not a safe haven. Sir Leon was disappointed in his nephew because of this.

The deafening pre-war speeches have ended. Then the battle horn sounded through the sky, "Uh-woo-......woo-

The Targaryen soldiers set up ladders under the walls, and one by one the warriors rushed up, and they climbed the walls, brandishing their weapons, fighting bloodily, and one fell, and the other took over. A soldier was scratched all over his body, and at the moment of falling, he shouted slogans, which was extremely tragic!

The first enemy to charge the walls was cut in two by Henry Sweet's great axe, and blood splattered like a fountain. Another sword-wielding foe rushed at him, brandishing his sword and letting out an inexplicable roar. Grizzly raised his shield to block it, then quickly slammed it with his powerful body, leaving his foe top-heavy and Henry splitting his stomach with a great axe. He fell, and his roar turned into a wail.

Rhaegar Frey turned to meet the attacking enemy, and he struck the eyebrow bone under the enemy's helmet, and the enemy's sword slashed at him, but Rhaegar skilfully dodged it. He took the opportunity to slash the opponent's throat with a single sword, and the enemy fell in a pool of blood. A spear stabbed at him, and he dodged sideways, turning his hand to grasp the spear and pulling his enemy forward, his sword thrusting forward at the same time. The icy sword pierced the hot chest of his foe, and by the time Rhaegar drew his sword, his foe was no longer breathing.

Sir Bob and Sir Randy slashed and shouted counting. "Six!" a corpse fell. "Seven!" There was only one heartbeat, and another figure was choked by Ser Randy's sword before he could reach the wall. At this moment, a sharp axe slashed him in the shoulder behind him, and the shoulder armor was split in two, and blood kept spilling. Seeing this, Bob rushed forward and stabbed the soldier holding the tomahawk with a sword.

"Come here," Bob commanded, "you two take Sir Randy to the church for treatment. ”

"No," Randy shook the soldier's arm away from the pain, "I can still fight." ”

"Don't let it go, if you keep bleeding like this, it won't be long before your blood will drain. Sir Bob said angrily, "What are you doing in a daze, let me take him away." Two soldiers picked up Sir Randy and headed under the walls, while the rest of the soldiers stood by to escort them.

The 'giant' swung his hammer and smashed head after head, and the enemies on the walls cowered before him. Captain Luke stepped forward and smashed a thick wooden shield to pieces. The enemy behind the shield fell to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, and struggled to get up in pain, only to see a spear pierce his chest. "Brethren, we have to face our adversity, and many of our brethren have given their lives to defend this wall. Captain Luke roared with a murderous face, "But as long as we stand, no one can defeat us!"

Targaryen soldiers continued to climb the city walls, and the entire wall was already half occupied by them, and some soldiers rushed towards the gates under the walls.

Baron Kane and the Rand Knight led fifty elite armorers to guard the city gates, and the heavy rams slammed into the gates outside the gates, and the gates were blocked by a pile of boulders. Dozens of Targaryen soldiers frantically rushed towards the city gate, and in an instant, hundreds of people fought in a melee.

In the bright sky, a dazzling light suddenly fell into the city of Yanzhen, but it did not attract much attention, perhaps because the soldiers were silent in the fighting. (To be continued......)
