king of the castle

Chapter 318

Lisa's words startled Roger. 【】Although the town's defense is indeed much weaker because of Roger's departure, there are two knights, Chris and Phil, guarding the town, as well as a team of soldiers and two steel golems left by Roger, Kent Town At present, it should be able to resist attacks of a certain scale.Why is Lisa's tone so tense, as if the enemy will break into the town at any moment?

"Calm down, calm down!" Roger asked Lisa while reminding himself, "Do you know where the other party came from? How many of them are there?"

"There are a lot of them, and I don't know where they came from, and they immediately surrounded the town." Lisa replied nervously: "Everyone is fighting with them, and the golems of the baron's mansion are also dispatched. .But there are too many bad guys, and Phil said we can't keep guard for long."

Even the mature and prudent Phil said so, and Roger finally determined that Kent Town must be in a big crisis.He didn't care about thinking too much, and immediately said to Lisa: "Listen Lisa, you go to Phil now and tell him that if the town can't be held, don't fight the enemy head-on, find the opportunity to take Let everyone break through. I just want you all to be safe, the town is destroyed and we can rebuild it!"

These are Roger's sincere words, not deliberately said to buy people's hearts.For Roger, who grew up on earth, human life is the most important thing.Although he also spent a lot of effort in the town of Kent, if the town really can't hold it, there is no need to take more lives to protect it.

But to Lisa, Roger's words were too touching.How many lords voluntarily gave up their territory out of concern for the safety of their subordinates?To the lord, the territory represents everything, and his subordinates must try their best to defend it for him. Otherwise, why do they need to support so many people?

For a moment Lisa was so moved that she couldn't speak, tears of happiness slid down her cheeks like broken pearls, at this moment the girl felt from the bottom of her heart that she was extremely happy to have a master like Roger.

"Lisa, go find Phil now! I've already arrived in Kent, and I'll be back soon!" Of course, Roger didn't know what the girl was thinking at this time, so he cut off the mental connection after a few hurried words, and urged The Nightmare Beast ran towards Kent Town at the fastest speed.

Seeing Roger's stern and frightening expression, and hurrying on his way, Bonnie also guessed that something must have happened in Kent Town.The female knight didn't ask any more questions, but silently hugged Roger's waist from behind, bringing the two of them closer together so that the Nightmare Beast could run faster.

The Nightmare Beast is worthy of being a beast from hell. Although the area of ​​Kent County is not small, it only took more than two hours to traverse the entire Kent County and brought Roger to a place very close to Kent Town.In the world of Torenzo, which has no high-tech means of transportation, this speed is second only to those monsters that can fly in the sky, and it is definitely one of the best on land.However, Roger was not satisfied with this, and kept urging the nightmare beast to speed up.

Although he had already sent Hippogryphs to hover over Kent Town before that, he knew that Chris and the others could still barely hold the town.However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee how long this situation will last. Maybe the enemy will rush into the town in a second to burn, kill and loot, so Roger does not dare to be careless.

The Nightmare Beast also sensed the restlessness of its master, and its flaming hooves moved a little faster than before.Every step forward leaves a flaming hoofprint on the ground, and the flames on the hoofprint will gradually extinguish after running a long distance.The Nightmare Beast had also run with all its strength, blowing out white smoke with sparks from its wide-open nostrils, and blue foam appeared from the corners of its mouth.

This is also the first time for Roger to show his fatigue on his mount, he couldn't help but patted the Nightmare Beast's neck and whispered encouragement: "Good job, come on, it's almost here!" "

The Nightmare Beast seemed to understand Roger's words, and ran even faster after a long hiss.With the efforts of the Nightmare Beast, Kent Town soon appeared in Roger's field of vision, and he also saw the enemies who besieged his territory.

There are a lot of these guys, they wear all kinds of clothes, and they use all kinds of weapons. They are not regular troops.This made Roger feel a little puzzled. Apart from the regular army, when did such a powerful force appear in his territory?

But right now is not the time to think about this. These guys divided into several teams to launch an attack on the town, and two teams have successfully set up the ladder.Many enemies are climbing up the ladder. If they are not stopped in time, they will soon occupy the town's wall.If even this last barrier is breached, the defenders, who are already small in number and have lost their geographical advantage, will definitely not be able to hold on, and can only hand over the town to others.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Roger certainly would not hesitate, but with a thought, a row of crossbowmen ready to shoot appeared in front of him.Without Roger issuing an order at all, the crossbowmen had already aimed deadly arrows at the enemy dozens of steps away.

Those enemies were all concentrating on attacking Kent Town, never expecting someone to launch a deadly attack from behind.Unprepared, many people were shot by arrows from behind, screaming and falling to the ground, and the attack that was originally organized became chaotic in an instant.

However, the crossbowman was naturally exposed immediately after firing the first round of arrows.The other party quickly discovered the attackers, and part of them rushed towards Roger with shouts.

Although these guys are not regular troops at all, they have rich combat experience.Knowing that the most important thing to deal with an enemy purely composed of crossbowmen is to quickly approach the enemy for hand-to-hand combat.These guys are also fierce enough, so they rushed up to the crossbowmen like this, intending to fight hard for two rounds of arrow attacks, and also to wipe out all the enemies that appeared suddenly.

Roger is also considered a seasoned commander, how could he let the opponent succeed?Before the enemies had rushed far, two rows of heavy spearmen appeared in front of them.

The heavy spearmen lined up in a tight formation are not easy to deal with, not to mention these guys who barely wear armor, even ordinary cavalry dare not beat them lightly.

These guys were involuntarily startled when they found so many enemies suddenly appearing in front of them.At this juncture of life and death, no one cared to consider where these heavy spearmen came from, they just fled to both sides shouting.It's a pity that these guys have forgotten that there are still a large number of crossbowmen behind the heavy pikemen.Taking advantage of this delay, the crossbowman has already fired a second round of arrows.Sharp arrows fell from the sky, making the guy howl like ghosts and wolves, and dropped dozens of corpses on the ground.

Of course, Roger would not be satisfied with the current results. Since these guys dared to attack his territory, they would have to pay a heavy price.He quickly summoned half-armored swordsmen and light cavalry, and began to charge the already somewhat disorganized enemies.

The half-armored swordsmen charged in a relatively loose formation. Their two-handed giant swords reflected a palpitating cold light in the sun, and almost no enemy had the courage to stand in front of them.Such a two-handed giant sword is not a joke. It is enough to cut an enemy wearing leather armor into two pieces with one sword.What's more, now that hundreds of half-armored swordsmen are charging at the same time, no one is willing to appear on their attack route unless they are crazy.

The half-armored swordsmen quickly approached the Kent town's wall, and the leader of the opponent also came out. If they were allowed to move on, the advantage they had finally established would be wiped out.Not to mention occupying Kent Town, even if they want to retreat safely, it is wishful thinking.So he immediately yelled for his subordinates to set up a defensive line and form a defensive formation along the route of the half-armored fighters.

It's a pity that Roger's crossbowmen didn't give the enemy such an opportunity at all. As long as people gathered, they would be attacked by arrows before they got in line.After paying the price of nearly a hundred people, the leader of the opponent also gave up his plan to regroup and loudly ordered his subordinates to retreat.

These guys who besieged Kent Town had long been frightened by Roger's soldiers. If it weren't for the harsh punishment for being a deserter, they would have already dispersed.Now that the leader has ordered the retreat, it would be an idiot not to run.These guys retreated towards the coast while yelling. In order to run faster, many of them even did not hesitate to drive away their companions in front, and exchanged the lives of others for their own chance to escape.

Those guys who had already climbed the ladder were even more unlucky. All the people below ran away, and they also hurriedly climbed down. Many people stumbled and fell in a panic.Although the fence in Kent Town is not too high, the fall may not be fatal, but it also hurts a lot.But now no one cares about the injured companions, regardless of these people's loud cries for help, they all followed the large army.

Seeing that the morale of the enemy has collapsed, how could Roger let go of such a good opportunity?He sent out all the light cavalry to chase down the chaotic enemy.

Naturally, light cavalry cannot be used to fight tough battles, but it is most suitable for chasing and killing enemies that have begun to collapse.Dozens of light cavalry scattered in the wilderness around Kent Town, chasing and killing those guys on horseback.

The pursued enemies became even more flustered, and fled to the beach without their lives.But how can a person's two legs run faster than a cavalry? Along the way, many light cavalry chased up from behind and fell to the ground, leaving behind many corpses.The enemies who escaped by chance swam in a panic to several large ships not far from the shore, and sailed to the far sea at the fastest speed.

This battle was all due to Roger's timely arrival. Not only did he resolve the crisis in Kent Town, but he also killed nearly [-] enemies and gained a lot of soul power.

When Roger walked into the town slowly, all the townspeople and businessmen who escaped from death cheered sincerely, paying tribute to the lord who saved everyone and the town.The crisis that was enough to destroy the town of Kent and everyone in the town did not cause a catastrophe because Roger arrived in time.
