Before dawn on the third day, the camp of the Restoration Army was crowded with people and very noisy. According to Flander's order, the army must arrive at Thorne's city before dawn and launch a sudden attack before the defending army could react.

"Set off!"

With the order, the siege troops of the Restoration Army walked out of the army camp one after another, heading towards the east gate of Thoren City...

…………

"The team behind us is following!"

Almost at the same time, the Wells Legion also set out from the south of Thorne City and walked towards the south gate in a mighty manner.

According to Flander's order, when both armies arrive at the designated position, they will also launch an attack on the defending army.

"Hey, Hans, do you think we can conquer Thorne City in one fell swoop this time?"

Bury, who was walking in the marching ranks, asked Hans, who was riding on the left.

"I don't think it's easy. Not only is the walls of Thorne City strong, but the defending troops inside are mostly veterans who have fought with the Restoration Army, and their combat power is not weak." Hans lowered his head and whispered to Bury.

"What are you afraid of? In my eyes, those bastards are just as soft as those bastards in Cordor. Let's see how I cut off their heads one by one!" As he said that, Bury spat a mouthful of phlegm on the wild flowers on the side of the road, with a look of contempt on his face.

"You kid, be careful this time, don't always rush forward alone. This time, the one who fights us is not a softie."

"Don't worry~" After that, Bury quickly followed the team in front. Hans, who was walking behind, shook his head and sighed.

At this time, standing on the wall of Thorne City, looking eastward, a winding gold edge had already appeared at the top of the low hills in the distance. But outside the city was still gray. The morning mist covered the surrounding wheat fields and grass, and there was almost no one to see at a distance of about a hundred steps.

“嘘嘘嘘～”

A city guard soldier wearing light armor, short sword around his waist, and a helmet tilted, was walking towards the east city gate from the south corner, humming small songs from time to time, full of spring. I think he had sneaked out last night and worked hard all night on the bed of a woman in a mill in the city~

"Ouch!"

As soon as he walked to the middle of the city gate, a sudden urge to urinate. The soldiers guarding the city quickly covered their lower bodies. After looking back at the left, they saw the guys in charge of the whistle squatting and napping in the corner. The soldiers guarding the city smiled and climbed onto the east wall with their hands and feet. In an instant, a stream of turbid liquid mixed with the smell of inferior beer poured down from the sixty-foot-high city wall...

Suddenly, a breeze blew from the east, and the thin stream weakened and floated towards the cowhide boots of the soldiers guarding the city.

"ah!"

The city guards screamed in a low voice and quickly moved the giant object in their lower body. Seeing the sunrise slowly rising in the distance, a smile appeared on the faces of the city guards, and they were immersed in the beautiful scenery in front of them.

After emptying the turbid liquid in his abdomen, the soldiers guarding the city shook their bodies and felt a sense of pleasure. Just as he squatted down and was about to jump off the wall, he suddenly found that there were several black shadows moving slowly in the hazy fog not far outside the city. He thought he was drunk too much last night, so he wiped his eyes and looked out, and he saw dozens of men in black holding long swords touching less than a hundred steps from the moat...

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The soldiers guarding the city quickly jumped off the city wall and shouted loudly, scaring the soldiers who were dozing in the corner of the wall suddenly got up, and hurriedly looked out of the city in panic. In an instant, a few sharp arrows flew over and shot through the heads of the two soldiers on the spot.

clang……

clang……

clang……

As a bell rang at dawn, a siege battle began...

"Quick! Put the wooden bridge on the moat right away."

Then, several groups of people were operating their equipment under the cover of shields and slowly pushing several simple wooden bridges towards the moat.

"Hurry up, they are going to cross the river. Take arrows! Take arrows!"

A city guard officer directed the crossbowmen on the city wall to suppress the enemy's pace of progress with bows and arrows.

…………

A moment ago, when the bell rang in Thorne's city, the defenders stationed under the city wall hurriedly ran up the city wall with their weapons.

At this time, the rebels under the city had crossed the trap outside the city and came towards the city gate. The officers present immediately organized manpower defense and shot arrows at the defenders outside the city in a panic, trying to stop them from moving forward. The rebels were approaching the moat step by step under the cover of the shield.

Seeing the enemy coming in full force, the officer responsible for defending the city organized soldiers to defend the city and ordered people to inform Berna immediately.

…………

Returning to the front battlefield, the Restoration Army had already laid the wooden bridge on the moat. With the order of the front line commander, soldiers carrying long ladders and pushing siege hammers approached the city gate step by step under the cover of shields.

"Prepare to beat the stone!"

Seeing that the enemy was about to approach the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city had already raised the rocks and rolling wood, ready to smash the rebels under the city at any time.

"Fifty Steps~"

...

"Forty Steps~"

...

"Twenty Steps~"

"put!"

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers on the city wall raised the stones in their hands and smashed the rebels below. A few unlucky guys were immediately smashed to death and knelt on the ground, covering their wounds and shouting. The arrows on the city wall also flew towards the rebels in a dense manner, shooting three or four of them on the spot.

"Shield covers, prepare to hit the door!" Even though the beating stones and rolling wood kept falling on the city wall, the officer responsible for the siege never took a step back. After hearing the order, the soldiers holding the shield immediately leaned the shield tightly against the siege hammer to resist the rolling beating stones.

On the other hand, the soldiers responsible for climbing the city were slowly raising the long ladder. As the sound of the long ladder hitting the city wall came, the soldiers who had already sharpened their swords were holding their shields and climbing up the ladder with a arrow~

"Sir, they are coming up!" Seeing that the rebels had stabilized the ladder and people kept climbing up, a soldier reported urgently. Then he raised the rock to smash the enemy who had just climbed to one-third of the place. The rock to fly down and hit the exposed shoulder of the soldier holding the shield. The man grinned in pain, rolled down the ladder as soon as his feet slipped, and took the guys following behind him down.

The officer guarding the city looked at the rebels who were rolling down and said loudly, "Yes, just smash it for me and kill these bastards!" After that, he raised the stone at his hand and smashed it down the city~

…………

The South Gate of Thorne City. According to Flander's order, when the Restoration Army began to attack the East Gate, the Wells Legion also attacked the South Gate at the same time.

According to Yat's deployment, after the wooden bridge was placed on the moat, the troops that broke the city immediately rushed over with siege equipment under the cover of shields. A crossbow team of more than 100 people followed closely behind, responsible for suppressing the enemies on the city wall and covering the troops in front of them.

At first, before the soldiers on the city wall could react, the soldiers of the Wells Legion once captured it. Seeing that they were about to succeed, the enemy's reinforcements suddenly appeared on the city wall in large numbers. The soldiers who were climbing up desperately were smashed by the enemy's rocks and rolling wood, and were seriously injured. The soldiers responsible for the siege hammers were burned to death by the turbulent oil splashed by the enemy...

At the back, Yat, who was watching the situation on the front line, saw that the best time to siege had missed, so he ordered the soldiers around him to blew the order to retreat, and ordered the soldiers on the front line to cover the retreat, intending to siege the city again after a little rest.

…………

At the east gate of Thorne City, the troops of the Restoration Army were thrown to death and held desperately under the city wall. The surroundings were full of corpses of their own people and wounded soldiers who were wailing in pain. The defenders on the city wall suddenly became as excited as they were injected with chicken blood, and kept holding up the rocks and rolling wood and smashing them down. Because a moment ago, the officers guarding the city had just received the order that all the soldiers killed one enemy and rewarded five hundred Finneys. When they heard this news, the soldiers guarding the city were a little excited while frightened, and began to harvest the heads worth five hundred Finneys under the city wall at all costs.

Early this morning, when Bernard was still lying in the bed of a plump woman, the messenger's knock on the door woke him up. The old guy thought it was his own business and was discovered by the skinny woman at home, so he quickly crawled out of the bed and put on his clothes and ran out the door.

After the messenger reported that the rebels in the East Gate had begun to attack the city, Bernard's eyes changed from panic to fear. What he least wanted to see happened.

Immediately, Bernard immediately summoned some of the city guards and ordered them to resist the attack of the Restoration Army according to the previous deployment. In addition, in order to increase the enthusiasm of the soldiers to defend against the enemy, he decided to give a reward of 500 Finney to the soldiers who killed one enemy. This move was tried and done. He understood in his heart that if others wanted to work hard for him, a very effective way was to use jingling money to win people's hearts. As long as the price you gave was appropriate, even if they were asked to sell their souls, they would be willing. Whoever had the money would have the right to speak.

According to the current reaction of the front-line soldiers, Bernard's decision was obviously right. As long as he could defend Thorne City and win the battle of successors, there would be a steady stream of gold coins entering his pockets in the future. The only thing he had to do now was to use the money in his hands reasonably and let every copper plate play their due value.

…………

"Send the order to let the soldiers on the front line cover the retreat!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis." After that, the messenger ran forward.

Outside the front command camp of the Restoration Army, seeing that the best time to attack the city had been lost, after losing a lot of people, Fland finally ordered a retreat. He prepared to adjust his deployment after rest and attack Thorne City again.

After seeing that all the siege troops were withdrawn, Flander ordered the immediate treatment of the injured soldiers and sent people to send the seriously injured back to the camp for treatment.

Looking at Thorne City still standing in front of him, Flander was mixed with emotion. If he really attacked Thorne City, the outcome would be unpredictable. Seeing that his siege was not good, Flander immediately remembered the Wells Legion outside the south gate.

"Send someone to see what's going on outside the South City Gate immediately. In addition, ask Lord Yat to come and see me, I have something to discuss."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."
