1442 I am good to you, or it may be a trick to you, the city is broken
What Strauss didn't know was that if he hadn't revealed that he knew the Holy Light as soon as the battle began, and that he had the Paladin armor that could block the bow of Epirus,
The barbarian king Hein might really have been blocked by flames in his way, and there were archers shooting his men wantonly. Feeling regretful about underestimating the enemy, he ordered his troops to withdraw and fight another day.
After all, the 50,000 troops he brought were all from the barbarian tribe. No king would force his soldiers to die unless necessary.
Even if it must be filled with human lives, it must not be filled with the elites who took the lead.
But this force, which numbered five thousand and suffered two or three thousand casualties, did not collapse. The retreating team was in the hands of Hain. Apart from the Guards and the direct team of ten thousand people, it was the most adept at attacking difficult situations.
Instead of filling it all into the meat grinder, it is better to take it out and learn about the situation in the city first-hand.
In addition, I have the Bow of Epirus in my hand, an artifact that can play a huge advantage in terrain like the City Gate Cave.
As long as the commander's mind is normal, he will retreat his troops and use artifacts to break through the defenders' defense lines.
But after the fifty arrows of the Epirus bow were consumed, and his physical strength and energy were greatly reduced, the only thought in Hain's mind was that he must forcefully break through the enemy's line today.
Otherwise, something will change later, and we may never be able to break into the wall of hell and release the titans sealed next to the giant wall and hidden in the mountain.
Moreover, Hain was still thinking that if Strauss had a trump card against him, but at the moment of life and death when the front line was broken, he could only use it against the barbarian soldiers.
Therefore, when the barbarians heard the attack horn, they immediately thought that if they disobeyed, they would be executed and their whole family would be demoted as slaves.
Under such harsh military laws, the barbarians could not care whether they would be burned or burned to death.
The barbarians who threw the corpses, when they felt someone behind them pushing them forward,
Some people raised the shields of the defenders or blocked their bodies in front of them, rushed out of the sea of fire like crazy, and then threw themselves at the Paladin or the surrounding defenders desperately.
The brutality of the war suddenly increased several levels.
Even the Paladins who were covered in heavy armor were knocked down by several barbarians, and then knives were pierced along the gaps in the armor.
Strauss quickly released the Holy Light Healing Technique on the Paladin, but the Holy Light Healing Technique was not a resurrection technique. If the weapon penetrated the eyes, the brain-dead knight would never die again.
In the middle of a chaotic battle, I calculated in my mind that five rookie knights had been killed, and the surrounding infantry were also attacked by the barbarians in a desperate manner. After being frightened, the formation began to become chaotic,
Strauss had to shout, "Put down the boulder, put down the boulder."
The city lord Palau, who had been paying attention to the battle situation and orders, immediately cut off the iron chain on the mechanism with a sword.
Within a few seconds, a muffled sound of "bang" was heard coming from the city gate.
The three-meter-thick boulder crushed a dozen barbarians to death in an instant, split the city gate into two, and completely sealed the city gate. While cutting the barbarians in two, it also gave them a chance to breathe.
Then Strauss took the archers around him and shouted with him, "The giant stone gate has been lowered. Killing all these barbarians is victory."
These words quickly excited the infantrymen who were frightened by the barbarians' desperate attacks.
In addition to the thousands of archers on the city wall, the nobles in charge assigned half of them to support them.
Stand on the city wall and city stairs and shoot the barbarians who rush into the city wall and fight with the defenders.
The barbarians who had no way to retreat did not last long before they were wiped out by more than 2,000 defenders and paladins, plus thousands of young men who came to support them.
Unfortunately, the battle in the city has just ended, and the barbarian king outside the city wall has also ordered the barbarians in the city gate to withdraw and stand a hundred meters away.
He opened the Bow of Epirus in his hand and charged it for about ten seconds.
A magic arrow with blue light rushed into the city gate, and exploded on the huge stone city gate with a loud "boom".
"Crunch, crunch".
After one arrow passed, a hole dozens of centimeters deep was blasted out of the three-meter-thick boulder, and then pieces of broken stone fell to the ground one after another.
The enemy will lay down boulders to block the road because they can no longer defend the enemy. These barbarians who are accustomed to fighting still know this.
Therefore, when the barbarians saw this scene, their morale immediately increased greatly, and their eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at Hain who drew his bow again and charged up his strength.
It's a pity that the cheering barbarians didn't know that Hain had reached the end of his strength.
The less physical strength and energy you have, the more uncomfortable you will be. In severe cases, you may even faint and die.
After shooting the magic arrow again and blowing up a bigger hole, the defenders behind the city gate were frightened and panicked. When they formed their formation without even bothering to repair,
Hai En suppressed his fatigue and dizziness and took a few glances around him.
Soon I saw Theseus with a concerned look on his face, and old man Samir with an inexplicable light in his eyes.
Hain knew very well that although his guards were loyal, the prerequisite was that he, the king, could not show any weakness and be responsible. What was waiting for him would be to be overthrown from the throne.
In just a few seconds, he made up his mind, "Theseus, in the name of the King of Crete, I appoint you as captain of thousands."
Just when Theseus was feeling happy and puzzled, he saw Hain handing the Bow of Epirus to him.
Then I heard Hein say, "Come on, my captain, I hope you can take the honor of breaking through the wall of hell, lead the warriors of the Kingdom of Crete, and be the first to break into the wall that no one has broken through for thousands of years."
"City of Hell".
These words made the surrounding barbarian guards' eyes blaze with fire. At the same time, Theseus was so excited that he wished he could immediately perform unparalleled feats for Hain.
Without any hesitation, he knelt on the ground, took the Bow of Epirus with both hands, and said with seriousness and admiration, "For you, I am willing to kill any enemy who stands in front of you."
"very good".
Hain laughed and let go of the Bow of Epirus, watched Theseus stand up, stepped forward more than ten steps and looked at the huge stone in the city gate, but his eyes were fixed on him and he hesitated to speak.
of Samir.
Samir, who was so frightened that he could tell from Hain's laughter that there must be something wrong with his health, lowered his head without daring to look directly.
Fortunately, I had seen it with my own eyes before. Hein had to pull the bow so many times before something went wrong. Only then did Samir put it down and fight to be killed. He also made sure to remind Theseus that there was something wrong with the bow of Epirus.
As for Theseus, who was almost at full strength and energy, and still younger, he drew the bow of Epirus and imitated Hain, who gathered strength for about twenty seconds before releasing the bowstring.
A brighter blue magic arrow roared into the city gate.
There was a louder "boom", and a hole nearly one meter deep was blown out. The three-meter boulder was even shaken and had small cracks. It was directly blown into pieces by the arrow.
This made Theseus, who was covered in chicken blood, not paying attention to the consumption of his physical strength and energy.
He drew the bow of Epirus again. He only charged up the force for about ten seconds in a hurry, and then released the bow string.
