The retreating castle guards were pushed down and kicked over by the violent beastmen one by one. In a place without city walls, it was like a massacre. On the way back from the ice wall to the castle, there were screams and bright red blood everywhere.
.
"I have to stop them."
After escorting Caroline back to the castle, Rhodes ignored the opposition of the witch and the butler and rushed out again with his sword.
The snowflakes fell around him and were quickly melted by the body temperature. With the wild roars of the beastmen and the screams of humans, Rhodes felt a scalding heat surge in his body, and the cold iron sword in his hand couldn't help but tremble.
However, after a slight discomfort, the vision in front of him became clear again. This time, the world was clearer than before. The movements of the beastmen slowed down in front of Rhodes. He seemed to have more agile skills and more
Keen observation. Falling snow and flying arrows fell together, and Rhodes roared out.
A horned beast in front of him was pierced through the chest by Rhodes with a sword on the spot. He stepped on the chest of the horned beast. Rhodes pulled out his sword and rushed out with a roar. He was met by a beast covered in blood.
The huge wooden mallet crashed down on the man. However, Rhodes did not dodge at all. Instead, he clenched the sword in both hands and fought back.
In the howling north wind, the knight's long sword sliced open the beastman's huge mallet. In the surprised eyes of the soldiers, Rhodes sliced open the beastman's head with a sword. The hot blood and disgusting brain suddenly came out.
The head that was split in two surged out. However, even more incredible scenes continued.
When everyone was retreating, their lord was charging in blood. He grabbed each soldier, dragged them behind him, and asked them to retreat to the castle as quickly as possible. All the beastmen who dared to cross the city gate were all
Died tragically by his sword.
Rhodes roared like a giant bear, and a bulky tauren warrior came towards him. The terrifying horns declared his status among the beastmen. Without a word of nonsense, the tauren warrior rushed forward. It
His mouth and nose were breathing heavily, and the ground was shaking under his huge hooves.
Amid the roar of the beast, the Minotaur's heavy hammer roared towards him. Rhodes lowered his head to avoid the heavy blow from the Minotaur warrior, and at the same time bent down and swept across its lower body. The sharp two-handed sword tore open the Minotaur's calf with one strike.
Amidst the screams, the Minotaur knelt down in pain, but the slaughter was not over yet. In full view of everyone, Rhodes took back his sword, roared, and the sword blade penetrated the Minotaur warrior's chest from top to bottom.
He opened his chest and pressed it smoothly, letting the sword pierce the tauren's strong body. The scarlet beastman's blood spread all over Rhodes' body.
Several veterans stayed behind to guard the gate with Rhodes, covering the others' retreat to the castle. However, those who were more careful discovered that their lord's weapon was flashing a cold white light.
Blackhammer Castle is located in the barren northern wasteland. Weapon enchantment requires a high fee. Even if Blackhammer Castle's income for three years is combined, it is impossible to enchant a weapon. What's more, the long sword in their lord's hand is still a sword.
An ordinary two-handed sword with no attribute bonus. It is not a rare treasure.
However, before everyone's doubts were resolved, Rhodes had already put away his long sword, and another beastman was slaughtered like an animal. The big lord's two-handed sword penetrated the beastman's jaw and stabbed out from the back of the head, and blood flowed out.
Like hot spring water splashing everywhere.
The arc flashed, and another beastman fell under the sword of the Lord of Blackhammer Castle. At the gate of the city, the corpses of beastmen of all sizes were piled at Rhodes' feet.
Finally, when the last Blackhammer Castle warrior ran into the castle, the Frost Witch released the ice wall spell. "Rhode! Run!" Caroline shouted.
The next second, a solid ice wall suddenly rose under Rhodes' feet. Countless tiny ice crystals quickly gathered and filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, blocking the entrance to the castle gate. Using this time, the soldiers closed the gate with force.
…
"Brother, hold on!"
"I'm dying……"
"ah……"
Passing through the blood-stained city gate, Rhodes saw the wounded and busy soldiers and doctors all over the ground. Many people's bodies had been severely injured, some had their arms and legs cut off, and blood was flowing out uncontrollably.
His body was pierced by a spear, and he was groaning half-dead. The doctor was helpless. White knelt on the ground and prayed for blessings from the gods. However, it had no effect. The blood was still flowing continuously, and the entire Blackhammer Castle was filled with thick blood.
The smell of blood.
"Archers! Guard the gate!"
On the city wall, the roar of the chief knight Virgil can be vaguely heard. Although the city gate has been closed, the battle is not over yet. It is not ruled out that the beastmen will attack the city again with a battering ram.
“Have someone prepare hot oil!”
Without enough time to deal with his wounds, Rhodes trotted up to the castle and gave orders to the soldiers around him. The soldiers followed the orders and began to work.
Outside the city, the town has fallen, and the beastmen gathered under the castle, making terrifying roars.
Obviously, there are still a lot of them, but they just lack the tools to attack the city again.
Soon, the beastmen began to clean up the battlefield...
"What are they doing?"
The exhausted Caroline walked to Rhodes and asked in surprise.
"Provocation, they provoke us and laugh at our timidity and cowardice."
Rhodes replied breathlessly.
Outside the city, groups of beastmen were seen searching for the bodies of dead human soldiers, then cutting off their heads one by one and inserting them on spears.
One of them, a particularly burly beastman, was commanding the herd. The corpses of human soldiers were piled up, and their bloody heads were inserted into the pile of corpses one by one. The scene was like a hell on earth.
"My ice arrows can chip away at it!"
Caroline said enthusiastically.
"No, it's not necessary. You hurry up and recover. We don't know when there will be another battle." He was about to cast a spell, but was stopped by Rhodes. "The range of the ballista can be reached."
"Crossbow!"
Immediately, Rhodes shouted loudly.
The large crossbow machine located above the castle began to operate. Several Blackhammer Fort engineers struggled to operate the large machine. The two of them worked together to lift a thick crossbow arrow to the launch pad, while the remaining people worked hard to turn the winch.
, amidst the creaking sound, the clockwork was continuously charged, and the arrow pointed directly at the big beastman outside the city.
Finally, with a bang, the big arrow shot out.
The big flaming arrow fell like a meteor, roaring from above the castle and crashing into the crowd of beastmen. However, it did not hit the leader of the beastmen, but smashed the pile of corpses into pieces.
