Chapter 248: Capturing the Fortress
Following Savan's order, Celia deftly climbed onto Fiorno's back and whispered, "Let's go, Fioror." ”
The wyvern flapped its wings, kicked the ground hard with its hind legs, and suddenly took off into the air and flew towards the black night sky. Seeing this, Sawin leaped forward and unleashed his flying technique, flying into the air like a sharp arrow.
In order not to be detected by the sentinels guarding the fortress, the two men and the dragon flew as high as they could, and then flew towards the fortress. After a few moments they were on top of the fortress, and Sawan made a pause gesture for Celia and Fionor to wait while he slowly descended first.
Savan, who was in mid-air, carefully observed for a while, and saw that there was a fixed sentry at the head of the city every few dozen paces, and in addition to two patrolling guards, patrolling back and forth on the city. Seeing that the enemy army was well guarded, it was impossible for him to quietly kill the sentries at the head of the city, so he had no choice but to launch a strong attack, hoping that Fionor would scare the soldiers away.
Sawan flew back to Celea's side and whispered, "You and Fionor go down first, let him attack with fire, and I will follow you closely." ”
Celia nodded, patted Fiono's neck and said, "Let's go first!"
Fionor said dissatisfiedly, "Why are we taking the lead?"
"You don't talk nonsense, are you looking for a fight?" said Savin, raising his sword in his hand, causing Fionor to shrink his neck, gather his wings, and swoop down towards the Oron Fortress.
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city were already very tired, some of the fixed guards had quietly napped, and the soldiers patrolling back and forth began to slow down. Although there was a big battle ahead, they didn't feel nervous when they were hiding in a strong fortress. A soldier yawns tiredly, his eyes unconsciously looking into the night sky.
The soldier with his mouth wide open suddenly froze like a clay sculpture as he saw a terrible black shadow in his eyes. With huge wings, hideous faces, and blood-red eyes, it seems that death has come to the world. The soldier's brain paused for a few seconds, then suddenly cried out, "There is ...... Yes...... There are monsters!"
His shout scared the sleepy soldiers around him so much that he almost urinated. Everyone was about to curse, when suddenly they felt a gust of wind blowing, and a huge thing suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Damn, there's a monster!"
"Help!"
The screams of several soldiers sounded like a thunderclap in the silent night, and Celia patted Fiono's neck when she saw this, which was the code that the two of them had agreed to spew fire. Fionor understood, opened his mouth, and a stream of flames shot out like sharp arrows.
Several soldiers were unable to dodge, and they were immediately burned to the ground by the flames, struggling and letting out heart-rending screams. Fionor loved the screams of the humans, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of pride, so he continued to spit out one flame after another, and soon the soldiers around him either burned to death or fled in fright.
Fiorno's flames reflected the night sky red, and at the same time, the cavalry in ambush in the dense forest was clearly visible, and the cavalry turned on their horses under the leadership of the officers. An officer shouted, "Advance! Capture the fortress of Oren!"
"Kill!" the three thousand cavalry shouted in unison, shaking the dense forest. Three thousand cavalry rushed out of the dense forest and rushed towards the hillside leading to the fortress.
Seeing that Serya had already begun to move, and that the soldiers guarding the city were driven away by the dragons, Sawin leapt from mid-air and stomped firmly on the brick pavement at the head of the city. As soon as he landed, Savin attacked the soldiers guarding the winch of the city gate. The gate of Oron Fortress is a huge iron gate that goes straight up and down, and when it opens, dozens of soldiers need to push the winch at the same time to make the gate slowly rise.
The soldiers guarding the winch were watching in horror at the wyvern rampaging everywhere, who would have thought that someone would kill them at this time. With Sawin's speed, but in the blink of an eye, he reached the front of these people, he picked up the sword in his hand and slashed wildly, and several soldiers didn't have time to dodge before Sawin was cut in two.
The others were so frightened that they exclaimed when they saw that Savin was so brave, and Samhain didn't care what they were shouting, but just slashed with his sword, and in a short time hacked the dozens of soldiers to death or scared them away. Seeing that there were no more soldiers, Sawin stepped forward, grasped the lever of the huge winch with both hands, and began to push the winch hard.
At this point, there were no enemy soldiers left in the city, so Sawan continued to push the winch, while Celia and Fionor were responsible for covering Sahain. After this surprise attack, the whole fortress was already alarmed, and the warning bell rang rapidly through the fortress, and the defenders rushed out of the barracks in the direction of the city gate.
"Whoosh...... "Whoosh" in the dark night with a whistling sound of sharp arrows, "Boom!", a sharp arrow nailed to the winch, the tail of the arrow still trembling violently.
Savan was busy pushing the winch when he saw the enemy shooting arrows indiscriminately, so he gestured to Celia and pointed to the soldiers who were laying arrows under the wall. Selea nodded knowingly, and with a dash of Fionor, she lunged at the soldiers below the city. Fionor flapped his huge wings and let out a deafening cry from his mouth, and many soldiers involuntarily covered their ears.
Sawan took advantage of this opportunity to quickly speed up the speed of pushing the winch, only to see the huge gate slowly rise under the impetus of his own person. At this moment, the cavalry was halfway up the hill and would not be long before they could reach the bottom of the city.
The leading cavalry couldn't help but be overjoyed to see that the gate of the fortress was slowly rising, and the most feared thing by these cavalrymen before was that they failed to capture the city gate, once they reached the city and could not enter the city, it was equivalent to a live target. At this time, seeing that the city gate had been successfully opened, their morale was greatly boosted, and they shouted one after another: "Rush! The city gate is opened! This battle will be won!"
"This battle will be won!" The high morale immediately infected everyone, and the cavalry accelerated and rushed towards the city gate like a gale.
Seeing that the city gate had been wide open, the defenders, under the command of the officer, hurriedly divided their troops into several routes, all the way to the city gate, and all the way to Sahain. Seeing this, Savin held the winch in one hand and the sword in the other, and fought with the enemy troops who kept coming. When the defenders saw that Savin raised the city gate alone, they were all so frightened that they smacked their tongues again and again, is this still a human being, how can they have so much strength?
But surprise to surprise, the order that should be carried out still has to be carried out, the soldiers stubbornly raised their knives to kill Savin, Sawin held the sword in one hand and danced wildly, although there was no move, but the victory was the strength of the huge speed like the wind, once the soldiers' weapons touched Sawen's sword, they were immediately shocked and flew out, and no one could get close to Savin for a while.
At the same time, the defenders supporting the city gate had just set up a phalanx at the city gate when a rumbling sound was heard in their ears. The defenders' eyes looked panicked, and their hands holding their weapons trembled involuntarily. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the darkness, and it was the light reflected by the armor in the moonlight.
The soldiers in the front row cried out in horror: "Damn it! It's cavalry!"
Without waiting for the soldiers to think about it, the mighty cavalry had already slaughtered in front of them. The huge impact force instantly shattered the defensive military formation, and the iron flow formed by the three thousand knights attacked the Oron Fortress with unstoppable might, and hundreds of soldiers defending the city gate were crushed by this iron flow in the blink of an eye, becoming the souls of the dead under the iron hooves.
With the addition of cavalry, the battle immediately lost its suspense, and the powerful impact of the cavalry quickly broke the will of the defenders, and they fled to the gates on the other side of the fortress. The defenders, who did not have time to escape, had to surrender on their knees, and the few stubborn defenders were quickly wiped out by the cavalry.
The battle lasted only two or three hours before it was completely over, except for a few hundred defenders who fled, everyone else was forced to surrender, and the knights did not lose a single death, only a few were slightly wounded, which can be described as a one-sided victory. After some counting, about 500 enemy troops were killed in this battle, more than 1,000 surrendered, and more than 300 escaped.
Sawan was so pleased with the outcome that the fleeing defenders had to flee to Pesanes, to the north, while the King's army on the battlefield remained unaware of what was happening at Oren's fortress.
