Late at night, the tower in the center of Hemer Town was brightly lit, and torches illuminated a distance of more than ten meters around the tower, exposing the dark wilderness creatures outside the tower to everyone's eyes.
Just as Ren expected, less than five minutes after Rupert and Delit left from the secret passage with a few militiamen, large swaths of wilderness creatures poured towards the castle like a tide.
It seems that the exit of the secret passage has been discovered by these guys!
This thought suddenly came to everyone's mind.
Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang!
There was a dull banging sound outside the iron gate, and then the frightened shouts of the guards guarding the third floor: "Bear... Bugbear! Mayor, they made a simple battering ram!"
Outside the gate that Ren and others could not see, six bugbears were holding a siege ram as thick as two people's waists and banging against the iron gate. A depression the size of a human head gradually appeared on the stone gate.
"The archers all go upstairs and shoot me hard!"
Mayor Yeshan held the long sword in his left hand and said sternly.
"Angelica, you go up too, be careful with yourself! Mr. Sodik, please take care of Angelica and the militia archers above!"
——Fireball!
"You guys prepare for me and tear a gap!"
At this moment, a ball of sword light exploded from the side and rear of the girl, and it accurately deflected the arrow without injuring the girl at all.
The girl and the halfling looked at each other, knowing that the situation was urgent and now was not the time to talk. They nodded and turned around to go up to the second floor.
Mages never stand under dangerous walls. Hand-to-hand combat is not what spell casters like them should do. Let's leave it to the younger brothers!
Hand-to-hand combat begins instantly!
It takes at least six or seven kobolds or goblins to replace one militiaman. According to this formation, the first to be unable to hold on is the opponent.
——Block flying arrows!
A powerful monk with this feat can deflect incoming arrows with one hand, or even catch them in his hand, while a swashbuckler uses a long sword instead of his bare hand.
The girl saw clearly that an arrow penetrated his simple leather armor, accurately hit his heart, and took away his life.
The militiamen of Hemo Town formed a formation under the leadership of Mayor Yeshan and the militia deputy captain named "Gulus". With their backs against the wall of the castle, they neutralized the waves of attacks from the wilderness creatures.
With her own perception and agility, Angelica barely avoided two of the arrows, but there was another arrow that was like a poisonous snake in the shadow, silently attacking the girl's neck. When she discovered it,
Already in a state where the old strength has been exhausted and the new strength has not been regenerated, I can only watch the shining arrow tip getting closer and closer to me.
Seeing the stalemate in the battle, Mundas cursed in a gloomy tone.
That is the sadness and anger towards the death of similar people!
Angelica, with a frosty face, rushed to the window, took off her +1 compound longbow, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, and relied on her intuition to shoot two arrows into the darkness.
"A bunch of idiots! They can't even handle a few dozen people!"
Ren glanced at Miss Ranger and said solemnly.
"Come die!"
This time, in order to completely capture the town, Mundas directly mobilized half of the troops in the camp.
"Get out of my way!"
Facing the incoming wilderness creatures, the militiamen, led by Ren and Mayor Yeshan, launched a counterattack.
After giving the order, the senior mage of the Dragon Witch Cult moved a few steps back without leaving any trace.
The halfling made a cool show of swordsmanship and raised his voice.
"Angelica, just pour your firepower on them and leave the rest to me."
Compared with the wilderness creatures, the militiamen of Hemer Town are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, but they are generally two to three levels higher than their opponents in terms of level. Only the hobgoblin captains can compete with them.
Ren's long sword drew a piercing cold light. Relying on its own explosive power and strength, the sword slashed diagonally on the bugbear's shoulder. With the blessing of Ren's strength, the cold iron long sword directly cut off half of the opponent's head.
The shoulders fell down.
Just when Angelica walked up to the second floor, with a scream, a militiaman holding a short bow suddenly fell backward.
"For the sake of the Dragon Witch Cult and the Dragon Queen, come to me!"
boom!
Accompanied by a huge explosion, the blazing yellow fireball hit the scarred iron door heavily, and thick smoke suddenly rose everywhere.
"ah!"
A faint scream came from the darkness.
Kill with one blow!
Archers!
According to this strength, it should be a hobgoblin archer. It is impossible for a kobold to have such great power to shoot arrows so far.
The overburdened iron gate suffered a fireball, could no longer hold up, and collapsed.
In a few seconds, the extremely complicated spell-casting gestures ended. Mundas pointed forward, and the spells burst out from his mouth at the same time.
But before he died, these guys had smashed a deep dent into the castle's five-finger-thick iron door, and cracks spread across the door like spider webs.
Looking at the wide-open eyes of the boy who was only a few years older than herself, and the still trembling tail feathers in the pit of her heart, the girl truly felt the cruelty of war for the first time, but then, a wave of anger and sadness emerged from her.
My heart raced.
Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Mundas frowned and scolded, and began to prepare to cast a spell.
Taking a moment to look up, Ren felt slightly relieved.
The girl nodded slightly towards the halfling, and together with several guards, poured out the fury of intelligent creatures at the bugbears under the tower. The angry girl even used the evil-killing origin arrows given to her by the shield dwarf.
The smoke dissipated, and Renne and others, who were waiting in full formation, appeared in Mundas's field of vision.
kill!
Under the concentrated fire of the archers, even the rough-skinned bugbears were turned into hedgehogs and fell to the ground one by one.
But the next moment, the sound of several bow strings vibrating sounded one after another.
Taking a breath, the paladin raised his left arm and used his small shield to block an arrow shot from the darkness.
After receiving the leader's order, the goblins and kobolds cleared the area around the iron gate.
The terrain in the castle is too narrow, which is not conducive to the cooperation and deployment of the militiamen who have undergone certain military training, and will lose the support of long-range professionals. In this case, it is better to rush out of the castle and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the opponent.
"'Fang' Dangut, follow your orders, Lord Mundas!"
A one-eyed bugbear who was two and a half meters tall grinned, clenched the wooden mace in his hand, and responded with a sinister smile.
In a series of dazzling spell-casting gestures, Mundas waved his free left hand, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, and under the light of the fire, a crystal flash of light refracted in the air.
A cone-shaped magical light instantly covered the cone-shaped area where Ren was located.
