Chapter 210·Siege of Duncan's Castle Part 2

"Stones are coming!"

"Quick, pay attention to avoid! Hurry!"

Another huge boulder roared from the forest in the distance. The Cyclops had excellent eyesight. This monster could easily determine the densest location of the defenders on the city wall and the most vulnerable battlements, and delivered a fatal blow: "Whoops -

—!"

"Ah~~!" On the battlements, there were seven or eight archers and crossbowmen standing scattered. They were still hit by the stones. Wood and stones splashed, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. The huge stones that were thrown passed through the outer wall of Duncan Castle and fell into the sky.

Within the interior building.

"Lord Tugenheim, the threat posed by the Cyclops to us is too great. A company has already been destroyed by it!" On the tower of the city wall, a White Wolf Knight hurriedly came to the commander: "The northeast section of the city wall requests withdrawal.

Get off the battlements and avoid the stones!”

"You can't withdraw. Order them to stick to the city wall. Even if everyone is killed, the city wall will never be surrendered to the beastmen!" Von Tugenheim said in a cold voice with a serious expression.

"yes!"

The adopted son of the Elector looked around. As far as he could see in the distance, there was an army of beastmen running around. Among them, the black horned beast army occupied the entire sight. But those fragile bastards were not what Tugenheim was worried about.

Even the most ordinary swordsman can withstand their attacks.

What really makes von Tugenheim fearful are those groups of powerful war horn beasts, more than a dozen doomsday bulls, centaurs, and chaos eggs. Among them, the chaos eggs are particularly eye-catching. So far, relying on the powerful long-range output on the city wall, these monsters

They do not pose a threat for the time being, but this is short-lived. Once the city wall falls and the city gate is opened, even the elite halberdiers of Baron Draco are no match for these powerful monsters, while the walking knights and giant swordsmen are no match for these powerful monsters.

The monsters were of little use, so Tugenheim could only place them on the city wall, allowing them to exert maximum melee damage and prowess.

"Damn beastmen!" The iron glove of the adopted son of the White Wolf Elector hit the battlement. He ordered the Winter Wolf Knight beside him: "Sir Armand, you lead a team of musketeers and two teams of swordsmen.

Go immediately to support the northeastern section of the city wall, and be sure to keep the city gate firmly in our hands!"

"Since Lailan can rest assured that he will leave full power to me to command the army, then this defensive battle must be sustained until his surprise attack is over!"

"As you command!" Sir Armand didn't say much. He nodded firmly, then turned around and strode away.

At the same time, on the outer city wall.

"Fight, fight!" Hundreds of people were running nervously on the city wall. More than 70 wood elf forest guards occupied an entire section of the city wall. They set up their bows and arrows, and with their superb archery skills, they kept shooting at the big horns outside the city wall.

Beasts and other high-threat Chaos war beasts, their arrows were all fired, and hundreds of human crossbowmen and musketeers fired continuously.

Barrels after barrels of quivers were exhausted, and barrels after barrels of feathered arrows were brought in. Repeatedly, the dense rain of arrows fired from the top of the city effectively suppressed the attack speed of the beastmen.

The man-made tribe suffered tenacious resistance from the coalition forces. Inside the city, the mortar emplacements roared continuously, and the swaying burning shells caused great casualties to the herd. The distance of more than 500 meters from the forest to the outer wall of Duncan Castle has been

There were more than three hundred horned beasts and chaos war dogs lying on the soil. Whenever a small number of horned beasts war groups approached the city wall and the rocks fell on the battlements, Samu would start to attack.

The beasts swarmed so densely that the human soldiers did not need to observe the outside situation. The only thing they had to do was to throw the stones in their hands. After a few seconds, several shrill roars of beasts would be heard from under the city wall.

Similarly, the beastmen will never accept death. A small number of horned beast archer warbands pull short bows and continue to shoot towards the city wall, even if their

The roar of artillery, the volley of muskets and the sound of archers pulling their bowstrings resounded throughout Duncan Castle and its surrounding areas. Wave after wave of beastman armies attacked Duncan Castle without interruption, led by the strong Doomsday Bull.

, the terrifying monsters approached the city gate again and again, attacking the coalition defense line.

The disadvantage of the man-made tribes was the lack of siege weapons. In front of the twelve-meter-high wall of Duncan Castle, they could only rely on their own brute force to destroy the city gate bit by bit. A large number of hooks and simple rope ladders were rushed to the battlements, and groups of them

The horned beast climbed to the top of the city, attacking the crossbowmen and musketeers on the city wall, while the infantry knights and giant swordsmen waiting on the city wall waved their battle axes and two-handed swords, easily cutting down the upright beasts.

He fell to the ground and his body was thrown off the battlement.

Outside the city wall, the only Cyclops was also injured by the cannon controlled by Bennick Suterson. The clumsy and huge body was undoubtedly the best target, but the Cyclops's skin was covered with thick cuticle, and the cannon's solid shells were only temporary.

It was able to repel it, but far from killing it.

From nightfall to midnight, the two high walls facing the enemy in Duncan Castle were filled with thick smoke, and the beasts and humans were locked in a fierce tug-of-war.

The war lasted until midnight, the full moon of the evil moon Molesbury. The creatures of chaos bathed in the blasphemous green light were not afraid of death. They rushed in wave after wave like they were desperate, bathed in the dense

Under the arrow feathers, he roared and shouted wildly, not getting tired at all due to the passage of time in the war.

On the contrary, the coalition soldiers were exhausted due to lack of rest time and fighting at night. The wood elves and dwarves have high endurance physiques. They can fight again after a short rest. After half a day of fierce attack by the man-made tribe, the human soldiers have already appeared

Very tired, the frequency of musket firing gradually decreased, the reloading speed of the crossbows slowed down, most of the officers' voices became hoarse and their lips became chapped due to the continuous shouting, and the firepower pouring from the city head decreased, so that the Horned Beast Chapter successively counted

They attacked the city wall for the first time, but they were quickly eliminated by the infantry knights and halberdiers who came to support them.

Von Tugenheim led a small number of eternal knights and white wolf knights to rush around to support the front line. Whenever a beastman broke through the city wall defenses and roared wantonly, he and the infantry knights would immediately appear, with the gryphon swords waving.

Cold light, relying on unparalleled power, killed all the horned beasts that rushed up the city wall.

Once the battle situation becomes tense, the White Wolf Knights will let out bursts of wolf howls. They chant the name of Ulric and vent the anger of the Wolf God, while the Eternal Knights are like a silent black whirlwind, crushing all the fury of the beastmen.

"Hold on, warriors! They can't hold on much longer!" The gryphon sword in von Tugenheim's hand drew an arc and cut off the twisted head of a big horned beast. A large stream of filth erupted from the neck of the headless corpse.

Blood fell from the top of the city. The four or five eternal knights around them fought hard. The finely crafted rune swords forged by the dwarf rune blacksmith swept left and right, immediately clearing this small section of the city wall. While breathing, the adopted son of the White Wolf Elector raised his hand to wipe

Remove the blood stains on his face: "Don't stop! Soldiers! Squeeze strength from courage, anger is the best tonic! For the White Wolf God of War! For the empire!"

"For the Empire!" The soldiers on the city wall fought bloody battles. They used their strong perseverance to force themselves to fight. The blood-stained giant swordsmen longed for glory and fulfilled their oaths. Everyone knew that from the moment the battle started,

They have no way out and this battle must not fail.

In the artillery position of Sigma Church, several heavy artillery pieces were continuously bombarded, causing the barrels to overheat, and the red-hot metal heavy artillery pieces would be unable to fire for a while.

Just when the gunners were trying every means to cool down, taking advantage of the opportunity, Bennick Sutersson took his apprentice Anna up the city wall and did his part: "Shoot!"

More than eighty musketeers opened fire collectively under Suterson's order, and the dense barrage swept away the tide of beastmen in front of them.

"Try this!" Anna, a trainee engineer standing behind the corner of the tower, squinted her eyes. She aimed her long gun at a centaur leader who was standing far away from the city wall and pulled the trigger with her index finger. "Bang!"

"Roar..." The next second, the leader of the Centaur Beast, who was more than a hundred meters away from the city wall, had half of his horns and skull shattered by silver bullets. Red and white splattered all over the ground. The Centaur Beast roared before he realized what had happened.

, and then collapsed.

"Mentor, mentor! Look, that one was killed by my work!" Anna's face was filled with joy and she cheered. Finally, she finally made an excellent long gun with amazing power!

This sudden change shocked the attention of many officers on the city wall.

"Well done, my student!" Bennick Suterson never hesitated to encourage, his mustache twitched, and his long blunderbuss was also playing a great role.

On a section of the city wall not far away, von Tugenheim also saw the scene of the Centaur leader falling to the ground. Several axe-throwing Centaur beasts around him were like frightened birds after seeing the death of the leader.

With the sound of gunfire, the centaur group immediately fled backwards.

"That little girl..." The adopted son of the White Wolf Elector, whose plate armor was covered with bloodstains, took a deep breath and exclaimed: "You are both brave and powerful!"

"It seems to be the female apprentice of the engineer of Baron Draco." Sir Armand stood next to him, looking at the beastman army attacking again, his thick eyebrows furrowed: "Sir, if we continue to fight like this, we can't hold on.

How long has it been since the Four-horned Beast King has realized the importance of siege weapons? The Doomsday Bull and the Great Horned Beast Battle Group have begun to attack the city gates and gaps in the city wall in a targeted manner. I am afraid that it is only a matter of time before the outer defense line is broken!"

"I know, Armand, that the soldiers are exhausted. In order to defend the city wall, we have lost more than 160 people so far, but the casualties of the beastmen are greater than expected, even though their number is four times ours.

, but their casualties are by no means less than seven times ours!" Von Tugenheim looked extremely serious: "The plan is going step by step, and our advantages are also adding up bit by bit!"

The corpses scattered on the plain outside Duncan's Castle seemed to confirm his words.

"Victory will eventually belong to us, Laeren will succeed." Von Tugenheim heard the horn sound outside the city wall. He walked beside Armand and whispered: "Order the soldiers to hold on for a while longer.

Sir Armand, the outer wall has not yet been abandoned!"

"I see."

On the city wall, the knights on foot and the giant swordsmen drove the last group of horned beasts off the city wall. The cold evening wind blew, and the knights were wearing heavy armor. The heat was suffocating in the tight-fitting armor, and they were all sweating profusely.

Even if their physical fitness exceeds that of ordinary people, the knights are still unable to bear the alternation of cold and heat, especially the physical fatigue and mental pressure.

"Human beings... are tenacious, and city walls... are difficult to break." Ungur, the four-cornered beast king hiding in the forest, roared and raised his rusty serrated knife: "Order the Cyclops... to smash the wooden door... open!"

"Roar~The beast herd, attack!!!"

"Dong dong dong~~~" Several war horned beasts beat the human skin war drums, and the man-made tribe began another round of offensive!

"Wow!!" The frost-hardened soil was trampled into claw marks, and the half-gryphon Fernos rushed in the deep forest. Lailan, who was riding on his back, drove the mount and headed towards the forest north of Duncan Castle from the flank.

Adrian, Hector and a dozen eternal knights followed. The White Wolf Knights were not good at doing this kind of thing.

Under the dark night, the wood elf woodland lord Olasif Piazza and two rangers rode stags and elf war horses, rushing on both sides of a group of people. They relied on the cover of bushes and trees.

Advance as quietly as possible. Because of the siege battle not far away, all the beastmen in the forest followed the beast king Ungur. There were few things along the way.

Suddenly, Lailan, who was running in front, raised his hand. He signaled the knights to stop their actions and stared coldly at the treetops dozens of steps away. Everyone immediately held their breath and concentrated.

The wood elves unfurled their bows and arrows, and apparently they also discovered something following Lailan's line of sight.

"Quack~~" After a moment, a flock of crows took off into the sky. They flew around the treetops several times, and then flew to other places.

"It's the ears and eyes arranged by the screaming shaman. It seems that the beastmen are not completely unprepared!" Olasif said in a low voice.

Lailan loosened his grip on the hilt of the sword and narrowed his eyes: "We are not far from the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks. The scope of the screaming shaman's control of the crows is limited to the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks. Let's seize the opportunity while we can!"

"As you command!"

Ten minutes later, everyone tied up their horses and, led by Lailan, sneaked along the sparse forest and approached the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks.

This is a depression in the forest.

Not far away, in the camp of the Beastmen, which was full of filth and corruption, there were still more than two hundred horned beasts and chaos war dogs. In addition, Lailan also saw three Nurgle Beast Chaos Eggs, these filthy beasts.

The extreme creatures are covered with abscesses. They will rush into crowds and explode themselves, using deadly diseases and venom to cause huge damage to the enemies of Chaos. The violent explosion will also harm its allies.

"Our goal is very clear, to destroy the magic stone of the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks and completely cut off the source of survival for the beastmen. Whether Duncan Castle can be defended depends entirely on the success or failure of this operation!" Lailan said before the battle: "No matter what

No matter what, we must complete the task!"

"clear!"

"Repeat the plan one last time. I, Adrian, and Hector will each lead a small team to attack from three directions and disrupt the entire Demonic Rock!" As he spoke, Lailan looked at the three wood elves.

: "And you, Eslay, your mission is to eliminate high-threat enemies during the march, especially the Chaos Spawn!"

"Yes, we will!" Woodland Lord Olasif also signaled the rangers to prepare for battle.

"Get started!"
Chapter completed!
