The soldiers, whose morale was greatly boosted, roared and pushed the wooden and iron-headed battering rams to slam into the city gate.
The soldiers on the city wall also knew that the gate was about to be breached. Lobelen had been attacked only a handful of times since it was built. After all, it was the southernmost city in Gaoling and did not have any important resources such as rich minerals.
Moreover, when the power of the Gaoling royal family was at its peak and the noble council could still play a greater role, the quarrels among the nobles rarely reached the level of sword fights. And even if they did fight, they would be stopped.
Comparisons are all for profit. It's nothing to do with a small incident, but if someone really kills someone and then occupies the other party's territory, neither the royal family nor other nobles will let him go easily.
Except for a few soldiers who stayed behind on the city wall, most of the other soldiers were already waiting nervously behind the city gate with shields and weapons.
"Hold your spear and raise your shield! Stay steady and don't panic. Never let any enemy soldiers pass. Think about your wives, children, relatives and friends behind you!"
Loberon's garrison loudly encouraged the soldiers in the middle of the formation, but the effect was average. The huge roar and vibration just now were too strong, and the city gate was seen shaking with the sound of impact, and was on the verge of collapse.
The defenders' hands holding the spears were full of sweat, and the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard clearly in the silent formation. The tension spread throughout the entire formation, oppressing the nerves of the soldiers. Even the officer was not there
words, because the soldiers did not respond to him at all, did not even notice what he said.
With a "boom", the wooden city gate shattered and fell. The city gate that was broken into several pieces fell to the ground and stirred up a burst of smoke. Then from the smoke came the excited shouts of the Nord soldiers.
Then the Nord warriors, holding wooden shields placed on their chests and holding battle axes or swords, quickly rushed out of the smoke.
Ronan took the lead, wearing knight's glorious plate armor and running at the front with a two-handed sword. Although Ronan couldn't feel the weight of the plate armor on his body, it didn't mean that the weight of the plate armor disappeared. He was running at full speed.
The extremely fast Ronan was like a charging steel rhinoceros, his heavy footsteps leaving deep footprints on the sandy ground he ran across.
"Ah!!!" Ronan roared angrily and bumped into the defender's formation with his shoulder. The defender's spear pierced Ronan's plate armor, which perfectly demonstrated what it means to not break the defense, without even a scratch.
It broke just a little bit, and Ronan's heavy shoulder hit the shield of the front row of defenders.
On the ground, the shield was directly hit to pieces. The soldier's arms and chest hit by the pressed shield made the sound of bones breaking. Blood spurted from the mouth and he was pushed into the air. If it weren't for
There were other soldiers behind him, and they might have been knocked out immediately.
The shields of the Nord soldiers also collided with the spears and shields erected by the defenders. The two armies collided in the small doorway. The soldiers fighting in the front row were all pushed by other soldiers behind them and could not move.
, tightly packed together, unable to dodge at all, only the weapons raised high can slash at the opponent from above.
There was no room for dodge, and it was a brutal hand-to-hand combat, but Ronan's side had better weapons and armor. The defenders' inferior standard iron swords were basically scratched on the armor and helmets of the Nord soldiers, or
It only caused some minor injuries, but the battle axes of Nord warriors who were stronger and had better weapons could often split the defender's head in half.
Especially where Ronan cut in, the defenders couldn't stop him at all. Their swords couldn't break Ronan's plate armor, and they couldn't pull Ronan down. They could only squeeze Ronan with their shields and numbers, trying to
Restrict Ronan and then attack from the weak point of the plate armor. However, Ronan's artifact plate armor has no so-called defensive blind spots at all, and even the bend of the back knee is protected by thick chain armor.
It was difficult to swing Ronan's sword in such a small space. Ronan complained about his lack of consideration, and then inserted the sword into the ground and started to fight back with heavy punches.
Ronan's fists were very heavy, and the fists of the arm armor were very hard and had some raised edges. Anyone who was hit in the head by Ronan's heavy punches would faint on the spot, and their helmets would be deformed.
, the cheek bones and teeth were shattered into pieces.
The full use of Dragon Roar just now prevented Rona from using Dragon Roar again for a short time, but Ronan still had many useful skills at his disposal, such as Fear Incarnate, which lowered the enemy's morale, and Ares' War Cry, which strengthened allies.
Ronan grabbed a long sword that stabbed his face, then broke it with force and stabbed back with the broken sword blade. It pierced the man's face and a large ball of blood burst out. He ignored the man who covered his face and fell down.
As the soldiers went down, Ronan pulled out his two-handed sword, held the middle part of the sword and used the big sword as a dagger to stab down several other soldiers around him.
The defenders gradually couldn't hold on any longer. Ronan's killing spree and the continuous decrease of friendly forces around him caused the morale of the defenders in the fighting area to gradually collapse. They wanted to escape, but they were blocked by soldiers behind who didn't know the situation.
But this atmosphere of collapse soon spread throughout the entire garrison.
The several defenders at the rear listened to the screams and the curses of their former comrades from the front, and finally couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts. They looked at each other and immediately threw their helmets and swords to the ground.
They turned around and started running towards the city, taking off their armor again and again as they ran. Nobles rarely massacred civilians in battles, so they still had a good chance of surviving if they hid in the city.
Ronan waved the big sword. He first held the sword blade and swept it hard. He used a weighted ball to hit the side of the helmet of the enemy in front of him hard. The man staggered and was a little confused. Then he raised the big sword high and struck hard, approaching the enemy.
The blade of the sword at the guard position cut deeply into the soldier's shoulder. Then he took a step forward, changed his hand to hold the hilt of the sword and slashed it to the side, directly slicing off the soldier's head.
Ronan held the big sword and watched the remaining defenders abandoning their helmets and armor and fleeing towards the city without pursuing them. Magna, who walked up to Ronan at some point, said to Ronan:
"Lord, I will take people to clean it up to avoid future trouble."
"Yes, but be careful not to go too far. If you want to control this city, the people's support is still very important, and we can't give out too bad a reputation."
"Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion and will definitely handle it to your satisfaction."
Ronan nodded, then waved his hand to signal the soldiers to follow him, and then he walked towards Loberon's city lord's palace holding a big sword and wearing armor that was dyed half red with blood.
