This battle ended faster than Ilea expected.
The defenders in the city were frightened by the roar of white dragons and Italian artillery, and had no fighting spirit at all.
As for the old oak tree, just as Ivan had analyzed, seeing that the situation was not good, he only resisted for a moment and immediately led his people to sneak away from the east gate.
Yanxue City is not his territory, and he has no interest in defending the city for the Figuerola family. He happened to take this opportunity to retreat to Lake City to join Solomon's army.
His departure caused the morale of the remaining defenders in the city to completely collapse.
Kamzi easily captured the city gate without much effort, and then the rebel army poured into Rock Snow City.
They encountered almost no decent resistance along the way, and easily took over important facilities such as city walls, granaries, and ordnance depots.
Finally, we arrived outside the castle of the Figuerola family.
This castle was originally built by the Enriquez family, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources. After Philip Snowclaw took over, he not only repaired it, but also further strengthened its defense.
The inner city wall was raised so that it was nearly half higher than the outer city. Then trenches were dug in front of the castle and a stone bridge was built. Now it has become a small fortress.
The stone bridge outside the wall has been closed as expected, but there is a figure standing at the end of the road.
Before everyone could reach him, they heard his curses from a distance.
"traitor!!!"
"You have betrayed those sacred and ancient oaths!!! You have desecrated the ancient spirit of your family and brought shame to your ancestors and descendants!!!"
"You will definitely be cast aside by the people in this land!!! The people here will not surrender to you, they will show you their tenacity and unyielding character..."
Fabrice pulled up the reins, stopped the horse, and interrupted the man.
"With all due respect, we didn't feel any tenacity or unyieldingness when we entered the city. I didn't even find where your army was. They all disappeared before they saw us.
"And why didn't you escape back to the castle to be with your people, Lord Gith?"
"Because I want to stay here and scold you despicable villains in front of you!" the nobleman named Guis said angrily, his beard trembling as he spoke.
"I want you to see the courage of the Figuerola family. I am not afraid of your bows and arrows!"
"If you were really so courageous, you should have led us to fight against the Wing Raiders instead of betraying Sir Ilea."
Yinsong, who came from behind, also interjected.
However, Geese kept chattering, "Ilea is a despicable [beep]. If Marquis Cullen hadn't spoken for her, she would never have been able to become the head of the Arias family. As a result, she was not only ungrateful, but also
He also betrayed Bisiya.
"He got together with the vicious heretic named Merlin, and then he turned to the evil path. He also wanted to replace the Figuerola family. David shouldn't have just killed her father, he should have killed her too!"
"Have you scolded enough?" Thomas also rushed over at this time, his face was gloomy and terrible, and one hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword.
However, Gis showed no fear and looked at the young knight with provocative eyes, sneering, "What, you dare to do it but don't admit it? You eggless cowards, if you dare, kill me!"
Veins popped up on Thomas's arm, and he was about to draw his sword when he was held down by Kamzi, "Don't be impulsive, he is eager for you to kill him now, so that he can leave his name forever.
"And you are Lord Ilea's vassal. If you kill him, the debt will be settled on Lord Ilea."
"Then I'll just sit here and listen to him spread rumors and insult Lady Ilea?" Thomas said coldly.
"Of course not," Kamzi shook his head, "I will have him taken prisoner first, and we will discuss how to deal with him later. The top priority now is to knock down the castle in front of us and capture Clovis."
Before Kamzi finished speaking, he heard a whooshing sound and something flew past his shoulder.
When he looked back, he found that Geese, who was still chattering and squirting vigorously, suddenly closed his mouth. His neck was pierced by a sharp arrow, and blood was pouring out.
He covered his neck with one hand and stared angrily at the guy who was shooting the arrow.
"Who did this?!" Ramsay said angrily.
"I." Jude threw away the bow and arrow in his hand nonchalantly, "I am not from Sir Ilea, I am just the deputy commander of the Black Dog Guard. I should be able to kill him."
After saying that, he looked at Guis again, "Stop talking bad about the Prophet Merlin in the future. Oh, by the way, if you see your ancestors after you die, remember to tell them that they are the Enriquez family."
Jude sent you to greet them."
After Jude said the last word, Guise's body fell backwards and fell into the deep ditch.
This small episode did not affect the army's subsequent actions.
When everyone arrived, the nobles began to attack the castle, but this time their opponents were the guards of the Figuerola family.
These people were all professional soldiers who were not engaged in production. They were highly skilled in martial arts and loyal to the Figuerola family. They were not frightened by the dragons and cannons like the militiamen and garrison troops in the outer city.
Relying on the tall and solid city walls, they fought with the rebels.
It's a pity that their number is too small. Marquis Cullen brought some of the family elites to deal with the savages, but most of them were buried in the small valley with Marquis Cullen.
Afterwards, Gawen was defeated again in the Scaled City and lost more than half of his elite troops. Now there are less than 400 guards left in the castle, and some are newly recruited.
The combat effectiveness is obviously not as good as those of the veterans. In addition, the White Queen has visited here before and burned some people to death. The trebuchet on the city wall cannot be used anymore.
With the fierce attack by the rebels, the people in the castle soon became unable to withstand it.
But what makes everyone a little strange is that Clovis has not shown up until this moment. Hells is still being detained by the Wing Tribe people at the moment. Clovis is the actual person in charge of the Figuerola family now.
But he did not go to the city wall to direct the battle. At this time, it would be good to just scold the enemy soldiers on the city wall and boost the morale of his men like Geese.
Or did he also escape with Old Oak and his gang?
Kamzi couldn't help but frowned. When did Clovis become so cunning?
But those Wing Tribe people already have Hells on their hands, so it seems useless to ask for Clovis.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone reporting that Clovis was found in the library.
