Viscount Sade's idea itself is not wrong. Political matters are never a matter of life and death. Although flipping the table is fun, the consequences are generally very unpredictable, and compromise is the essence. Compromise makes things easier.
Stay in control.
Saul may not be a qualified politician, but he has been in a high position for decades and exists as a pillar of the country. He is by no means a fool who only knows how to be reckless and will not compromise.
But for things like compromise, both parties must have strength and be qualified to sit at the same chess table before we can talk about compromise.
If the Sad family can really withstand the attack of the garrison and prevent Saul from winning quickly, out of consideration for the overall situation, Saul should make some concessions to the twelve families of Burai City.
If things can develop to this point, Viscount de Sade will have achieved his goal and truly demonstrated the rebellion of the horses and horses. They cannot and do not dare to.
Although the kingdom's national power and local control have begun to decline, the strength of the royal capital is still strong, and the dragon knights of the country are still a sword hanging in the sky against the disloyal nobles everywhere.
Seeing that the people in Sadburg had no intention of surrendering, Saul said no more.
"Kuz, Dane, each of you will lead an elite force and prepare to attack with me."
"Yes, sir."
The number of men and horses in one capital should be five hundred when the number of troops is complete, and the number of men and horses in two capitals is one thousand.
The open space in front of Sadburg is not wide, because it is built in the city of Burai, and there is a street not far away.
A large army cannot be deployed in this narrow area, and dispatching a thousand people to attack at the same time is already the limit.
After receiving the order, Kurtz and Dane each took their troops and prepared to attack the city.
Although Dane was demoted to an ordinary soldier by Thor, with his strength as a great knight and his prestige in the garrison for so many years, how could Thor leave him alone?
To lead an entire city as a soldier is something that has never been done before, but it is definitely unprecedented.
Not to mention Dane’s weird identity,
The offensive troops of the garrison were prepared quickly. There were about a dozen simple long ladders in the team, which were temporarily built recently. Some people also carried flying hooks.
These equipment may help the attacking troops climb the city wall, but if they want to attack with this simple equipment, they may not be able to break the castle even if they give up thousands of lives.
Preparing to attack the city, these two troops were elites in the legion, and they quickly prepared for the attack and waited for orders.
Thor, wearing golden armor and a golden helmet, stood at the front of the team, holding a broad sword like a door panel in one hand.
At first glance, he is the most handsome guy on the battlefield. He is much more dazzling than a white horse and white armor. He is a real battlefield magnet.
But Thor didn't care, or his purpose was to attract more firepower.
The huge broadsword pointed forward,
"Come after me!"
There is no morale-boosting speech before the war. If the general takes the lead in the charge, it will definitely be better than any impassioned speech (not counting the down-and-out Austrian painter).
"kill!"
As the coach Sol took the lead and rushed to the front of the team, Kuz and Dane also led two troops to attack.
The originally quiet street suddenly became filled with shouts of murder.
At this moment, no one is thinking about whether the crude siege equipment they have can attack Sadburg. This is no longer the coach's lead. If they run slower, they will not be able to keep up with Thor.
.
"Archer!"
Although the attack was launched suddenly, the defenders who were already on high alert responded very quickly.
Following Viscount Sade's order, the first wave of arrows on the city came towards the garrison!
Taking advantage of the height of the city, the range of arrows fired from the top of the city was longer. Hundreds of arrows fell from the top of the city into the formation of the siege troops. Most of them deliberately took care of Thor who was rushing at the front.
Seen from a distance, Thor, who is dressed in golden armor, is like a magnet attracting arrows towards himself, and it seems that the next second will end with thousands of arrows piercing his heart.
However, after a shower of arrows, Thor was pierced by thousands of arrows. After he ignited the fierce golden fighting spirit of the earth knight, these arrows could not even come close to the two meters around him.
The fighting spirit became a tangible obstacle, blocking all the arrows, and even the pace of the charge did not lag at all.
However, the soldiers behind Thor did not have such strong protective capabilities. The archers on the city head originally used strong hard bows, which also had the power to fall.
Even though the soldiers of the garrison were fairly well-equipped, their armor could not withstand these sharp arrows falling from a height of more than ten meters.
"Puff, puff..."
With the sound of arrows piercing flesh, a dozen soldiers fell from the attacking team.
However, the rhythm of the attack did not seem to be interrupted at all. After the soldiers carrying the siege ladder fell, the people around them quickly took up their positions.
"Fire the arrow, quickly!"
Counting from the starting point of the attack, the attacking army rushed to the city wall a distance of more than 100 meters.
They were hit by the rain of arrows from the archers for three rounds. With Thor in front to attract and resist many arrows, they actually lost nearly a hundred people and nearly 10% of their casualties. These soldiers on Fort Sadd were much worse than they had initially imagined.
Even more elite.
"Ladder! Go up!"
Seeing that he was almost at the bottom of the wall, Kurtz shouted loudly for the ladder. Regardless of whether this thing was crude or not, without the ladder, there was no way to attack the city.
At this time, Thor had already reached the bottom of the wall first. The towering city wall did not hinder Thor's attack at all.
When Thor came to the bottom of the wall, he jumped up and reached a height of more than ten meters. If the Fort Sadd was a little shorter, Thor might have stood directly on the top of the city with this leap.
And Thor's jump also attracted the attention of everyone. There was no way, he was already dressed in golden armor, and jumping so high, it was hard not to attract attention.
Viscount Sade's eyes were fixed on Sol. When Sol jumped more than ten meters, Viscount Sade's heart almost rose to his throat.
He knew that if a strong man like Thor jumped directly onto the wall and could directly clear a section of the city wall, the subsequent garrison soldiers would be able to continuously pour into the castle along this cleared section of the wall. I am afraid that the castle would be lost in an instant.
.
Fortunately, Sol's leap was still a little short of the highest point of the city wall, and he had already begun to fall.
"boom!"
Before Viscount Sade could completely relax, Thor in mid-air threw the broadsword in his hand directly towards the city wall.
This broad sword made of an unknown material sank into half of the city wall without any hindrance, and Thor happened to be standing steadily on top of this half of the broad sword. The whole process was completed smoothly, and it was obvious that he had planned it in advance.
"Oil!"
Just when everyone was shocked, Viscount Sade seemed to understand something. When he reacted, he loudly ordered the soldiers to bring boiling oil.
But Thor was not idle either. Just when several soldiers from the Sader family were about to pour boiling oil down on Thor, Thor had already jumped up from half of the broad sword.
"clang!"
"ah!"
Thor, who jumped onto the city wall, kicked the boiling oil that was about to be dumped. The iron pot tipped over, and the boiling oil poured on the bodies of several unlucky Sade soldiers, causing a shrill scream.
Call.
But Saul has already stood firmly at the top of Sadburg...
