"Caroline, you don't want to participate in tomorrow's siege. Your injury hasn't healed yet..."
After Venos discussed the siege strategy, Rhodes found Caroline. She looked tired and her expression was not much better. After all, such a serious injury could not recover as before in two weeks. Rhodes remembered
How much blood did she lose that day in that farmhouse... Rhodes knew about Caroline's physique. She was not a legendary wizard, nor did she have an extraordinary physique like his own. She could walk after such a serious injury in two weeks.
Ziru is already considered lucky.
"It's not like you made the decision that day."
Caroline muttered.
"That's for your own good..."
"If you burn a scar on my body, do you think it's for my own good?"
"Otherwise you'll bleed dry."
"How's it going? No more bleeding now, right?"
Rhodes said, jokingly extending his hand to Caroline's abdomen.
"You can't be more honest and look around. You have no gentlemanly manner at all!"
Rhodes' half-stretched hand was slapped away by Caroline loudly, and she looked at Rhodes with a slightly angry look. The old man in front of her was warm and brutal... but she didn't know why she always disliked him... She dialed
Pushing the hair on his forehead, he pretended to glare at Rhodes.
…
In the early morning of the next day, huge catapults began to bombard the city of Dark Whisper Castle.
Since the town has been completely occupied and there are no more living people, the army will not show mercy to the town. The Snow Queen's meaning is so simple and clear, destroy all the undead in the city, find and kill the vampire lord.
The siege troops formed a neat square formation and stood ready at a safe distance outside the city. They were outside the range of the crossbows, waiting for the slings to smash through the city wall before advancing.
Rhodes and Vinos, the commander of this army, stood side by side, watching the battle ahead. Under the white sky, lit flints were emitted from the army's position, with a trail of thick smoke.
, falling towards the already dilapidated Secret Word Castle.
Less than an hour later, the entire castle turned into a blazing city of flames. According to Commander Vinos, if you want to burn the dead ghosts in the city to ashes before advancing, this can minimize the enemy's attack power.
quantity.
Facts have also proved that this is a wise approach. When the regular army troops outside the city entered the city at an orderly pace, the undead troops in the city did not put up much resistance. A huge gap was opened in the city wall. With bows and arrows,
The number of undead soldiers with crossbows is very small, only a few dozen. They were just resurrected two weeks ago. They were originally the defenders of the Dark Word Castle...
Scattered arrows hit the neatly organized Kislev army, causing almost no real damage to the army. However, the ensuing battle into the city became somewhat resistant. Although a round of sling bombing destroyed half of the army.
buildings, and almost set the entire town on fire, but the resistance of the undead troops in the town was still very tenacious.
Not every street, alley, or building is set on fire, and these narrow alleys have become the main lurking places for undead creatures.
Under the unified command of the vampires, a large number of zombies and ghouls pounced on the Kislev troops entering the city from all directions. On one side was the town in flames, and on the other were soldiers fighting everywhere. Only after entering the city did Rhodes know why the vampire lord was
It still didn't escape. It probably didn't expect that the one attacking it was a regular army of 3,000 people. Normally, more than a thousand undead plus cellar terrors and wolf bats could kill anyone who entered the city.
Human armies, you know, some castles have fewer than a few hundred permanent garrison troops. Perhaps the vampire lord had never thought of such an siege, or perhaps when he belatedly realized that the situation was not good, it was already too late to escape.
. Or maybe he didn’t want to escape at all... He fled from Erengrad all the way to Darkwhisper Castle, almost crossing the entire Kislev... If he could escape again, he could only enter the World's Edge Mountains, where greenskins and dwarves live.
On this territory, it would be better to die here than go there...
Rhodes followed the large army all the way forward. Unlike the siege troops, Rhodes only had one target in his heart - the vampire lord. But Rhodes had to find it because the situation at this time was different from that of that day. That day, the vampire was lurking.
It is in the dark, not wanting to be discovered, and now, it must serve as the commander of the undead army, commanding its men to fight. It will inevitably be in a relatively conspicuous place.
Two black shadows passed through the air, causing a small panic among the soldiers on the ground. However, after taking a closer look at their appearance, Rhodes did not want to pay attention to them at all. Two bloodthirsty manta wolves. He had fought with these creatures many times, and they
It is not a threat to itself at all, and it is not a threat to this siege force equipped with leather armor and crossbows. The reason why the soldiers are afraid is just because many people see this kind of creature for the first time.
"There is no need to fight with them in the streets. Find the vampire lord and kill him, and these undead will fall apart!"
In the chaotic streets of the town, Rhodes grabbed the legion commander Guvinos and shouted to him. The latter quickly understood and ordered the elite troops in the army to form a special attack team and march towards the castle.
A team of thirteen people held a battering ram and began to hit the castle gate. Although the rocks thrown by the previous catapult hit many buildings and also hit the castle in the center of the town, it was not that coincidental.
Smashing the castle gate, so the siege still has to be "manual".
A group of undead bats continued to harass the siege force along the siege passage. However, the crossbowmen at the back provided good assistance to the companions in front. Arrows were shot in succession, scattering the black shadow.
.They gathered together again, but were scattered again. After a few rounds, a bunch of completely dead black bats fell on the ground. Some were pierced by crossbow arrows, some were nailed directly to the city gate, and some
He was only scratched by an arrow cluster, and was hit by a melee soldier when he landed...
Finally, after more than ten consecutive blows, the castle door was broken open.
Two large wooden doors collapsed, and the raised dust filled the passage at the entrance. From inside the castle, two bloodthirsty big men rushed out, they were two cellar terrors... huge bodies, strong muscles
, their skin covered with abscesses and bloody fangs frightened the siege troops. Following the two cellar terrors, dozens of undead infantry rushed out. Rhodes saw their appearance clearly, these resurrected
The undead soldiers were the reinforcements brought by Pierno that day. Thirty Boville knights and a dozen Krem guardsmen... There is no doubt that these people became an excellent source of soldiers for the vampire lord after their death.
The combat effectiveness of the Rem Guards is comparable to that of the Black Knights. It doesn't take long for them to be resurrected. Otherwise, they would be able to defeat one against a hundred.
Rhodes couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that the Kislev regular army arrived in such timely manner. The longer time passed, the stronger the power of the undead in the Dark Whisper Castle became.
Like all the previous battles, Butcher Bogul rushed forward without looking. No matter who the opponent was, the Butcher screamed with excitement.
When he ran into these heavily armored undead infantry, he realized that he was dealing with an opponent worth fighting. Bogul could only deal with two resurrected Krem guards at the same time, and he would be unable to parry any more.
Already.
Rhodes quickly shuttled through the crowd. His skills became more agile than before. His movement alone was enough to dodge a series of attacks. After using an ax to chop off the head of an undead soldier, he flipped his wrist and used the ax handle.
Knock down another one. And these undead soldiers were all Bovell knights, noble warriors of Kislev...
After walking around among the undead troops, Rhodes was the first to break out of the encirclement.
