The purpose of Musen Territory's invasion of Night Territory is very obvious, that is to destroy the Night Territory. Viscount Corey actually does not have much confidence that he can block the attack of this army below.
It was not that he had never thought of surrendering in order to save his family, but the possibility of this was almost slim. Once there was hostility between nobles, there was no such thing as mercy.
Judging from Viscount Musen's past behavior, he is not a merciful person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to seize the Musen Territory and become the new Viscount Musen. He would have cut off Lord Huang Ye's head without blinking an eye.
Viscount Li did not dare to bet on how Viscount Musen would treat him if he surrendered.
So now he can only choose to resist to the end. Fortunately, even if he dies, Harvey and others can still survive, which is better than the entire clan being wiped out.
"Musen Territory, Antonio of the Qinghuang Knights, under the orders of my Lord Viscount Musen Territory, came to conquer Night City!
I, the Viscount of Musen Territory, am merciful and cannot bear to cause more killings, so now I will give you Night Territory a chance.
So in order to avoid additional killings! Open the city immediately!"
Antonio looked towards Viscount Corey's position and shouted loudly.
"Kaicheng! Kaicheng!"
In a short time, all the soldiers of the Qinghuang Knights shouted out together, and the sound was so powerful that it resounded through the sky and spread throughout the entire Night City.
The Night Leader warriors on the top of the city were intimidated by the momentum. Some swallowed secretly, fearful in their hearts, and some even took a few steps back unconsciously.
"The Musen Territory has invaded our Night Territory without any reason and will be severely punished by Count Reagan!" Viscount Corey, who was standing on the top of the city, glared at the Qinghuang Knights below and yelled angrily.
"Fighters, shoot for me!" Viscount Corey decisively chose to strike first, instructing the 100 archers at the top of the city to attack.
"Raise your shield!" Antonio responded quickly and shouted immediately.
Immediately, the Qinghuang warriors behind them squatted down, immediately raised the oil vine shields in their hands, and used the oil vine shields to cover the entire array.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
At the same time, hundreds of arrows flew down from the top of the city. Unfortunately, the Qinghuang Knights were far away, so only a few scattered arrows hit the knights' array and were blocked by the oil vine shield.
"Crossbow arrows are fired in turn, the fifth battalion's Qinghuang crossbows are ready!" Antonio said in a cold voice and waved his right hand.
"squeak……"
Qinghuang Knights, at the rear of the array, a thousand warriors from the fifth brigade, all pulled the strings of their crossbows in unison, aiming the Qinghuang crossbows at a certain angle at the head of the night city.
"shooting!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Thousands of crossbow arrows burst out from the arrow trough, piercing the air. As they passed through the air, they made bursts of whistling sounds and flew towards the head of the night city.
"Quick! Defend! Defend!" Viscount Corey shouted loudly as he stared at the whizzing arrows with his eyes wide open.
Unfortunately, although the soldiers reacted somewhat, raising their shields or squatting down, most of them still did not have time to dodge the arrows.
Phew! Phew!
For a moment, the sound of arrows being inserted into the body was heard one after another from the top of the city, followed closely by bursts of shrill screams.
More than a thousand arrows, at least half of them hit the city head accurately, and because Viscount Cory led the entire night, most of the three thousand troops were concentrated on the city head, which also resulted in a large number of
warriors were attacked by arrows.
Most of the soldiers lying on the ground howling were shot in the thighs and arms. As for the soldiers who were shot in the chest and head, they had already died.
"squeak……"
The screams covered the sound of string pulling below the city. At this time, the fourth brigade had completed stringing the Qinghuang Crossbow.
"Quick! Hide! Squat down!" Viscount Corey shouted to the soldiers on the top of the city.
He never expected that the Musen Territory would have so many crossbowmen. Looking at the soldiers who suffered heavy casualties, he felt a sense of despair in his heart.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
There is no doubt that the arrow rain struck again, once again bringing blood and screams to the city, harvesting life, leaving behind cold corpses.
"Whoosh..."
"Whoosh..."
Time gradually passed, and with the baptism of arrow rain one after another, the entire Qinghuang Knights shot fifteen waves of arrow rain, turning the entire Night City into a honeycomb, and no more screams were heard.
Come on, some are just faint moans.
"Gigantic crossbow!"
After the Qinghuang warriors hung the Qinghuang crossbows on their backs under Antonio's order, twenty low-level knights walked out of the array, holding large and powerful crossbows in their hands, pointing at the night city wall in front of them.
"Boom! Boom!"
The soldiers heard bursts of explosions, and the huge iron arrows penetrated straight into the tall city wall.
"Send the order! Attack the city!" Antonio pulled out the sword on his waist and waved it forward.
"Siege the city!"
"Siege the city!"
"kill!"
The order spread throughout the entire array, and the Qinghuang warriors drew out their swords, roared, and charged towards the Night Leader in front.
The army charged, and a handful of jet black ladders were placed against the night city. The Qinghuang warriors began to climb up quickly on the ladders one by one. Before that, Antonio and other knights had already relied on the iron arrows on the city wall.
With a few steps, he jumped up to the top of the city, and with the sword in his hand, he began to kill the surviving warriors on the top of the city.
"Quick! Drive them down!"
Viscount Corey's eyes were scarlet, and he led many barons and hundreds of surviving warriors to stop the Qinghuang warriors from ascending to the top of the city.
"Boom!" Viscount Kori was like a furious lion, charging through the group of Qinghuang warriors. He quickly swung the sword in his hand and flew away seven or eight Qinghuang warriors who were fighting. Blood splattered everywhere.
After several low-level knights of Qinghuang discovered Viscount Kori, they immediately rushed over and struck with the swords in their hands.
Viscount Corey's eyes widened, his whole body was shaken, and he slashed with his sword. After splitting several people, he kicked a low-level knight away.
Poof! The low-level knights of the Qinghuang Knights vomited blood and knocked down the two Qinghuang warriors.
Whoosh! The other low-level knights did not dare to hesitate and immediately rushed over again, trying to restrict the mid-level knight's movements.
"Kill!" Viscount Corey's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He moved quickly and waved his sword in his hand. Just as the sword was about to hit the armor of a low-level knight, a flash of aqua blue light flashed in the sky, and he suddenly disappeared from the sky.
Flashed across the body of Viscount Corey who was in action.
"Chi!" A slight voice sounded amidst the sounds of fighting, and Viscount Kori's movements visibly paused, his body stiffened, and a bloodstain appeared on his face from top to bottom, and his eyes were full of horror.
"Bang!"
In an instant, Viscount Corey's body exploded from the middle stage and split into two halves. The blood was as red as rain, and an ice sword was inserted diagonally not far away, causing a faint frost to form on the ground.
Antonio leaped from behind to the sword and pulled it up with his right hand.
