Oct. 29, 6 p.m.,

There was no sun in the dreary sky, the sky over the barren Fort Stmonidos was dark, the sky was gray, gloomy as if it was about to rain, the air pressure was very low, so low that people could not breathe, the breeze blew, and the dog's tail grass stained with the blood of the soldiers on both sides swayed gently, ups and downs in the wind, stretching their lonely posture to the fullest.

There are no flowers, no trees, only unknown weeds, which stubbornly poke out their bodies in the cracks of the rocks, greedily absorbing the qiē outside, to make up for the lack of their foundations.

In just two hours of offensive and defensive battles, Li has become a sea of blood and fire.

As the attack from the flank Dunbao became less and less, the dense sound of military trumpets in the Nord army formation sounded like a torrential rain again, and the Nords who had been waiting for a long time finally waited for the opportunity to attack with all their might

Spitanger finally gave the order for a total attack, and the eighth attack came again at 6:20,

The crippled fortress of Stemonido faced the most brutal test, and the 16,000-strong Nord infantry, lined up in thirty or forty squares, marched in orderly steps. Their blue diamond-shaped shields shone with a dark glow under the inky sky, while their black spears did not have the slightest light, as if frozen in light.

Behind them were about four thousand archers, their bows half-hanging down, arrows pointed at their toes, but once within range, they would lean back skillfully, draw their bows and arrows, and shoot them at an angle of forty-five degrees.

The infantry formation under the "attack" city began to accelerate at about a hundred meters, and the sound of heavy breathing was snorting

"Whoosh, whoosh" arrows rained down on the top of the city, and the Nord infantry who rushed to the front fell in pieces, but this did not affect the people behind to continue to rush up, and the Nord infantry rushed to the top of the hill with their shields against the arrows above their heads, and climbed over the blood-stained city wall regardless of a qiē,

But what awaited them there was a strict Vikian infantry formation, less than a thousand Vikyans, with a strict spear array and constantly firing crossbow arrows in the inner fort, entangled and fought with the Nord army on the city wall, and the fortress of Stemonido was like a small boat rocking in a storm, gradually being flooded by the blue tide......

"Brothers fight" Vekia crossbowman howled with blood on his face, shooting the last crossbow arrow in the quiver into the enemy's chest, every section of the guard tower on the city wall is a line of defense, stabbing with a sword, smashing with a stone, using a shield to resist the enemy who rushed up, the short sword in his hand stabbed from the gap, until the enemy fell with his eyes open, or was stabbed to death on the stairs by the enemy who rushed up, the tenacity and madness of the falcon army made the Nord soldiers feel palpitations,

"Withstanding" in the surging crowd of Nord soldiers, ten Falcon hoplites with shields in their hands, like bodies and shields, like a wall blocking the road to the Dunburg corridor,

The crossbowmen above pulled their bolts with all their might, and the white light shot into the throats of the enemy, and they continued to pour fire from the heights on the enemies crowded in the corridors, and the corpses piled up on the steps of the stairs leading to the watchtower.

The sounds of fierce fighting and screams mingled into a hell on earth. At 6:37 p.m., there was a moment when the scales of victory tilted towards the Nords, and the footsteps of the goddess of victory paused lightly at this moment,

Ten minutes later, the balance of Yiqiē was broken, and a kilometer away from the fortress, a group of falcon cavalry was rapidly approaching, the sound of fighting in the direction of the fortress was clearly audible, and the thick smoke above made Hu Keqili, who led the army, anxious,

Hu Keqili shouted violently, "The whole army draws its sword and prepares for an assault"

"Huh" neatly drawn the knife with a knife light, the sound of the horse's hooves, has long been covered by the drumbeat of the Nord army assembled in front of the fortress, the Nord Fourth Legion does not know that the sharpest sword of the Falcon Dynasty has quietly attacked them, with a falcon battle flag fluttering on the castle, almost the same style of the falcon battle flag appeared in a woodland on the left side of the Nord Legion, a long black line silently gradually emerged from the depths of the dense forest,

His eyes swept over the Nord army formation with his back to him, and the central general Hu Keqili, who arrived at the first time with the "assault" leading the army, raised the saber in his hand, and then fell suddenly,

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded rapidly, and 7,000 cavalry of the Central Army with sharp swords in their hands, like ghosts that suddenly appeared in the night, formed several huge cone-shaped phalanxes and rushed towards them...,

The neat and dense black-armored cavalry was like a steel wall, and it was like a mountain of swords and a sea of swords rushing towards it, and the gloomy and pitch-black wings stretched out silently, eerie and terrifying.

The sound of cracked and piercing horses' hooves rolled like thunder,

The iron head of the black-armored cavalry crashed into the back of the Nord legion like a whirlwind, sweeping and destroying a qiē. In the face of this terrible torrent of destruction, the rear of the Nord regiment, which had no time to adjust, was like paper paste, and was rushed by the cavalry cluster attacking from the flank.

The corpses tumbled as if they had been slashed by a giant side knife, and the two squadrons of Nord infantry were crushed into powder by the torrent of steel in a cry of death......

In a panic, thousands of Nord soldiers were chopped to pieces by the roaring cavalry swarm. Immediately, next to the corpses of the Nord soldiers, Prais's 15,000 infantry followed the Guards cavalry and pressed towards the rear of the disorganized Nord army

"Reinforcements are coming, order a full-scale counterattack"

Hutu Emma drew a bloody sword from the corpse of a Nord soldier and shouted hoarsely, and behind him, the remaining 1,000 or so falcon crossbowmen were like chicken blood, and their exhausted bodies were suddenly filled with strength,

They completely abandoned their previous defensive state, bravely rushed forward, and stabbed the enemy in the stomach with the short sword in their hands, and many Nord soldiers who were climbing the main fort were shot to death by the Vicchian crossbowmen above in a panic,

The corpse fell from the cylindrical head of the city like a kite with a broken string, tumbling down the mountain road, or falling directly on the spears of the soldiers below, and the blood of blood dripping from the top of the head like drops.

"Steady, can't go back"

The commander of the 4th Legion, Spithanger, rode on his horse, brandished his knight's sword in vain, and shouted with all his might, trying to stop the soldiers who were in chaos from the front and behind at the same time,

He had already sent the remaining reserves to the city wall, and he was just a little closer, he could win the siege battle and obtain this most important node, but now he was far away from him.

"Assault crossbow" Hu Keqili shouted, handed over the war knife in his right hand to his left hand, pulled out a short crossbow from the weapon slot, and rushed towards the Nord main formation, the guards around him pulled out the short crossbow in the weapon slot of the war horse, the arrows rained down, and the Spitang, who was wearing gorgeous armor, was naturally the object of everyone's care, countless cold lights shot into his front, his voice came suddenly, and his body was like suffering countless heavy blows, and after a period of trembling, he fell from his war horse...... ，
