This was originally a small city in the south with a population of less than 20,000. It was located along the route from the port to Posey City. It gradually developed mainly by providing supplies for the teams transporting goods back and forth.
Although the city walls were built as usual and basic defense facilities were arranged during the city building, the utilization rate was obviously not high. Apart from routine and perfunctory repairs, almost no one paid attention to it. After all, the city of Stour is located in the far south, far away from the southwest swamps.
It is still thousands of miles away, and there are dozens of miles away from the coastline. There is no need to worry about the trolls in the swamp. The sea tribe's attack will not go deep into this position. It is even further away from the orcs and ogres. See the capital
Never seen it before, it has always been safe.
The city's guards are also relatively lax.
But something seems to have happened today. The sea water brought by the huge waves directly flooded the low-lying areas along the line. The sea water spread directly to the corner of Stour City. Sea tribes continued to emerge from the sea water, clinging to the city wall and trying to
Attack the city.
Obviously, the Sea Clan was no longer satisfied with just taking down a few port cities. They began to try to attack some cities with city walls. However, it was obvious that the Sea Clan's siege battles did not go well. The waves caused by the tide spell were basically here.
It no longer has much power, but the water depth around an adult's waist can only facilitate the sea tribe's advance. It is not of much help to siege the city, and the flood caused by the tide spell will not last too long.
Long, when the water recedes, it will be embarrassing to become a sea tribe.
"Archer! Archer!"
"put!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The training of these city guards was not very good, and some of their movements seemed not very standard. They just barely drew their bows, aimed and fired volleys in one direction. However, there were too many sea tribesmen under the city, and these looked a little soft, but the arrows were all shot from seven to seven.
After the eight-meter-high city head fell, it still caused a lot of casualties to the Sea Clan. After all, these ordinary Sea Clan warriors only had some protective gear made of seaweed and shells at most, and some were bare-chested, so they had no resistance to arrows.
The power is almost nonexistent.
After hundreds of feather arrows fell, the seawater under the city was quickly dyed red, and a pile of corpses floated in the seawater.
However, the number of the Hai Clan is still too great. This casualty cannot stop the advance of the Hai Clan at all. The garrison of this small town is only a few hundred, and with the temporarily mobilized young militia, there are only more than a thousand people. In terms of number, it is
The absolute disadvantage is that the Sea Clan's siege ability is weak, and everyone is just competing against each other.
"Rolling log! Smash these monsters down!"
"boom!"
An irregular log was carried by two soldiers and thrown towards the city, knocking down several Hai Clan soldiers who were climbing.
"Don't let them climb up! Shieldbearer!"
The Sea Clan didn't have any siege equipment, but they could climb the city wall directly with their sharp claws and the sticky substance secreted from their bodies. Although the speed was not fast, it couldn't hold them back in large numbers. Although many of them were knocked down by stones and rolling logs,
However, many sea tribesmen still scaled the city wall, and the battle entered a stage of hand-to-hand combat.
"Chi!"
The Hai clan who had just climbed up to the top of the city was pierced by a short spear with a short spear by a soldier on the city wall before he could show his anger. Then the soldier took a step forward and kicked the opponent to pull out the short spear. Blood spurted out from the wound.
The sea tribe who climbed up to the city fell backwards and fell to the ground, gradually losing their lives. The soldier turned his attention to the city wall again, looking for a new target.
At first glance, this soldier seems to be at least an elite, but in fact, this soldier is just an ordinary pawn in the garrison. It is only the sea clan's weak land combat power that makes him feel like a warrior in the army.
The combat effectiveness of the Sea Tribe is indeed inferior on land. As long as the human soldiers in the south are not on ships, most of them have a psychological advantage when facing the Sea Tribe.
"kill!"
"boom!"
"The patrol guards are coming up, stop him!"
Of course, not all sea tribes are so weak. The patrol guards among the ordinary sea tribe warriors are quite capable of fighting. These big guys with muscles around two meters in height and holding stone axes are not much worse than quasi-knights. Of course,
After they climbed onto the city wall, they were no longer able to resist the local garrison who had been neglected for a long time.
"superior!"
Two or three soldiers guarding the nearby city gathered around and tried to deal with the patrol guard. Although the city of Stour was small, it was located next to an important traffic road and was quite well-informed. During this period, even if
Ordinary people also understand the attitude of the Sea Clan towards humans after breaking the city. They don't even spare a breath of life. The soldiers all know that they have no way out.
"clang!"
"boom!"
The leading swordsman and shieldman tried to hold the patrol guard's stone axe, but there was obviously an absolute power gap between the two sides. The swordsman and shieldman was beaten back a few steps and exposed his flaw. He was bullied by other sea soldiers and received several blows.
He fell to the ground with a heavy blow. As the patrol guards opened a gap, a steady stream of sea people climbed up, and the situation became precarious.
"Chi!"
A long sword with a green-gray fighting spirit flashed past, and the patrol guard who had been showing off his power just now had half of his neck cut off by the sword. He stopped moving instantly and fell straight to the ground.
"Knight Olson! Knight Olson is here!"
Knight Olson is one of the only three knights in Stour City. Two of the knights have been entangled by the blood warriors of the Sea Tribe and are completely unable to free their hands. It seems that the Sea Tribe is about to completely attack the city wall.
, the Olson Knight with the reserve team finally couldn't help but take action.
Although Knight Olsen is only a junior knight, and his foundation in the quasi-knight stage is not good, and he is considered the weakest among the knights, it is not something that even the quasi-knights can resist the patrol guards.
, the three or four patrol guards who had just climbed up were no match for Knight Olson. When their fighting spirit exploded, they were killed in two or three strokes. The morale of the surrounding soldiers was also boosted, and the situation seemed to be reversed again.
come over.
"Master Priest, there is actually a knight in the human reserve team."
"Huh, boring trick."
"Get ready for the soldiers to attack. This time we will take down the human city in one fell swoop."
The priests were very confident in their words. Since the spellcasting ability of the Sea Tribe began to recover, the status of the priests has risen sharply. From a status that was just respected but with no actual power to a being with real say, the priests' status was so fast.
The bloodline warriors who have grown to the top of their heads now have to listen to his orders, and he enjoys this feeling very much. He is also willing to take action when the commander feels that the battle situation is difficult, so as to increase his prestige.
After an obscure spell, a water dragon nearly ten meters suddenly appeared in the air, circled in a circle and headed towards Knight Olson who was struggling to kill the patrol guard.
Knight Olsen had already reacted, turning around and trying to block with the long sword in his hand, but the water dragon spell was already considered a high-level water spell, although due to the low magic power, it was not as powerful as the water dragon released under normal circumstances.
Technique, but it also has the power of a powerful knight-level fighting spirit blow. Knight Olsen, who was hit head-on by the Water Dragon Technique, flew out as if he was hit by a speeding train. His entire chest sank in, and he struggled for a few seconds after landing with a bang.
There was no movement.
"Lord Olson!"
"Knight Olson!"
Seeing Knight Olsen fall to the ground, the surrounding human soldiers panicked. Even the knight was killed, so how could they fight?
In this attack on Stur City, the Sea Clan was obviously determined to win. Not only did they dispatch a large number of ordinary Sea Clan warriors and patrol guards, but they also sent two bloodline warriors and a high-level priest. The bloodline warriors were not bad, and their strength was as good as
The human knights were comparable. After leaving the sea and climbing onto the city wall, they were somewhat suppressed by the knights. However, the high-ranking priests were on a completely different level. He killed a knight with just one water dragon spell, and it didn't seem to be difficult at all.
"Priest Yanes! There is an urgent order from the high priest!"
The high priest who was about to make an appointment with the army commander to directly order the army to launch an all-out attack was suddenly interrupted by a messenger. However, he did not dare to be dissatisfied at all, because the messenger was a messenger dedicated to the priest's palace.
The order is issued to all directions, and they come out to represent the high priest.
Yanez stopped what he was doing and stood respectfully in the water, waiting for the next message from the messenger.
"The high priest ordered all attacking troops and priests to return immediately without any delay!"
"yes!"
"Order the troops to retreat!"
"But our people have already attacked."
It’s no wonder that the commander is a little reluctant. The city of Stur is actually considered destroyed. All that’s left is the finishing work. They gathered so many troops, isn’t it just to capture a human city and gain some credit? Now
He was really unwilling to give up immediately even though he had already succeeded.
"This is the order of the high priest! Retreat immediately!"
Yanez turned to stare at the commander, with a dangerous look in his eyes, as if if the other party said no even half a word, he would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
"Send the order, the entire army retreats, and take turns to cover the exit from the city wall!"
"yes!"
The actions of the Sea Clan made the defenders at the city head a little confused. They could take the city with just one more breath, but they actually gave up on their own initiative.
However, in their hearts, they are more grateful. This is the happiness of saving a life...
