Chapter five hundred and ninety eight: burst fireball
"Master, more and more soldiers are coming around..." A general guard reminded Qin Feng in the spiritual network.
Qin Feng put away his sword and looked around. There were already shield soldiers guarding the front, and a large number of spear soldiers on both sides had also arrived. If they were blocked, there would be many casualties among the generals and guards.
"Good luck to him. We have been delayed here for too long. Let's retreat first..."
Qin Feng turned the horse's head and retreated to the rear, disappearing from Count Kanu's sight in the blink of an eye.
The sky was getting brighter, and the white light enveloped the earth again. Count Kanu looked around with a tired look on his face. He was so frightened that he couldn't sleep well all night.
The captain of the knights came from a distance and came to Kanu, "Lord Earl, last night, we damaged 1,000 soldiers, as well as all the grain, grass and ballistae."
"So?" Kanu's eyes were blank. What he saw now was a group of listless soldiers cleaning up the dilapidated camp.
The knight leader still said bravely: "We have to retreat, otherwise, we who are hungry will not be their opponents at all."
"What, retreat?" Kanu gritted his teeth. Retreating means failure, failure means being laughed at, and being laughed at means losing face.
Let me run away in a hurry, will I still be able to gain a foothold among the nobility in the future?
"No, we still have 2,000 people and Master Mino. As long as he is here, we can still defeat the rebels in front of us."
Count Kanu suddenly thought of something and immediately ran in the direction of Master Mino.
Although the other party is just a traveling mage, he cannot die. If he dies, his mentor may come to trouble him.
More importantly, if Master Mino dies, he will no longer be able to annihilate this rebel army.
"Master Mino, are you okay? This is really great..." Count Kanu searched for a long time and finally found Mino who was looking around.
Mino turned around and said, "Count Kanu, it seems that your war has failed, and it's time for me to leave."
The most important thing is that I don't want to die yet. One of the opponent's cavalry can beat Count Kanu to a point where he is almost defeated. If all the opponent's troops are pressed against him, will there be any way for me to survive?
"No, Master Mino, we still have 2,000 people and you, we will definitely win."
Count Kanu saw that Master Mino was still hesitant, so he promised to pay a lot of money, "As long as you blow open the city gate, how about I give you 100 gold coins?"
"Just blow up the city gate?" Mino was doubtful.
"That's right, just blow it up and leave the rest to us..." Count Kanu nodded vigorously.
"Okay, but I need you to protect me. Those people's bows and arrows are far away." Mino immediately made a request. Although money is good, his life is more important.
The militiamen of the misty town got up early to replace the frightened brothers on the city wall.
Then they saw the scattered camp outside, the flames that had not completely dissipated, and the soldiers with low morale. They all told them how miserable the battle last night had been for them.
The troops on the opposite side are slowly gathering, but due to low morale, their speed is as slow as a snail.
After about three hours, the troops below finally gathered together.
Count Kanu walked on the fire-dried ground, turned to Master Mino behind him and said: "Master Mino, it's up to you..."
Master Mino took a deep breath and walked forward. His casting distance was about 300 meters, and he had to be 300 meters close to the city gate.
"I hope those demon archers will no longer be here... no longer here..."
As Master Mino whispered, dozens of shield swordsmen came over, surrounded Mino in a circle, and protected him inside.
The militiamen on the city wall saw a group of people holding shields and slowly walking towards the city gate.
"Prepare your bows and arrows. If they come, we will shoot them to death." The militia captain shouted to the left and right.
The militiamen on both sides immediately took out their bows and arrows and pointed them at the wall.
When the soldiers holding up their shields stopped, the militia captain shouted: "Shoot the arrows."
The vibration of the bowstring sounded, and the arrow flew out, piercing a long distance and landing 50 meters in front of the shield swordsman, still far away from them.
"Stupid rebel... roar..."
Due to the militiamen's mistakes, this slightly increased the morale of the count's soldiers.
The shield swordsmen separated slightly, leaving a passage for one person to pass through.
Master Mino appeared at the very end. He took a few steps outside, picked up a staff, closed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself.
Within a moment, he stretched out his staff, and a fireball condensed on the top of the staff. In the horrified eyes of the militiamen, the fireball quickly grew into a large fireball 2 meters wide.
"No..." The militia captain was a little desperate.
That is the mage, that is the legendary mage. I heard that he can destroy the world, and it is easy to destroy their town.
A huge fireball flew out from the army, drew an arc in the air, and accurately hit the wooden city gate.
With a loud noise, the fireball exploded, and the flames quickly spread throughout the city gate.
Count Kanu and his soldiers all cheered. With this powerful spell, they believed that this crusade would be successful.
Count Kanu seized the opportunity and immediately shouted, "Charge all in...take them all down...after capturing the town, I will grant you three days' leave."
All the soldiers howled like wolves. They knew very well that three days off was three days of looting, and it was also a good day for them to make a fortune.
Facing the temptation of wealth, the soldiers immediately burst out with strong morale and rushed towards the city gate with roars.
"Archers... stop them..." The militia captain waved his sword.
Arrows flew, and the count's soldiers and militiamen fell to each other wounded.
When the battle was fierce, at the edge of the misty forest, Farut and the others stood there, quietly watching the battle in front of them.
A big man next to Farut said at this time: "Legion Commander, do we want to help? Judging from the appearance of those militiamen, it seems they can't stop them...
If the mist town is controlled by the nobles, legion commander, we will not be able to stay here any longer."
The hesitant Farut touched his chin with his left hand. Should he help or not? Will he accept the solicitation from the current kingdom? It seems that if he is not solicited by him, his people will not be able to survive...
At this time, the count's soldiers had already rushed into the city gate and were fighting with the militiamen inside. However, the militiamen's equipment and combat experience were not as good as those of the count's soldiers. In addition, the knight captain acted as an arrow, causing a rain of blood among the militia.
, it is difficult for a militiaman to go through a round in his hands.
"Stop him..." Facing the unstoppable knight leader, the militia captain had no choice but to rush forward, only to be split in half by the opponent's sword.
The other militiamen were no match for the knight leader, and they could only retreat steadily.
