Chapter 479 Burning Kent Town

"Small sample... I'm afraid you won't come." Roger muttered to himself with satisfaction: "Let you know that my buddies are not easy to bully."

Roger was in a good mood, but the soldiers who had stormed into Kent Town hoping to make a fortune were not so happy. 【】Rushing into the town and searching through boxes and boxes, they were disappointed to find that the entire town of Kent seemed to have been washed away by a flood, except for the houses that could not be demolished, there was nothing that could be moved. .

Not only were the furniture and gates of the house removed, but in many places even larger trees were cut down and sawn into small pieces, which were not used for any purpose other than firewood.As for the valuable things, there is nothing, there is not even a single grain of wheat in the whole town. Although there are tactics such as "strengthening the wall and clearing the field" in the world of Torenzo, it is absolutely unique that can achieve this level.

The huge contrast between expectations and reality disappointed all those who wanted to make a fortune. Ten thousand people destroyed everything that could be destroyed while yelling at the enemy to vent their anger, and soon destroyed the originally tidy town of Kent.

"It's almost..." Roger, who was in control of everything, secretly calculated the time, and then gave an attack order to the soldiers who were manipulating the dwarven ballista and catapult.

The dwarf ballista and trebuchet had long been ready for battle, and their target was the town of Kent not far away.The distance between Roger's castle and the town of Kent was nearly 200 meters, and the town was just within the range of the dwarf ballista and trebuchet.As soon as Roger gave the order, the dwarf ballista and the trebuchet launched an attack at the same time.

The giant crossbow fired by the dwarf ballista shot towards the town of Kent with raging flames, and what the trebuchet threw was a raging fire.Both the fire crossbow and the fireball hit their targets accurately, and instantly ignited the fire dragon blood that Roger had hidden in Kent town in advance.The fire dragon's blood is more flammable than the gasoline on the earth. Once ignited, it quickly caused a terrifying fire, and quickly spread to all directions.

The sudden fire frightened the soldiers who were still destroying and venting their anger, and rushed out of the town.However, at this time, these soldiers discovered sadly that they had demolished the walls of the houses before, but they actually blocked many escape routes.If it was not a big deal in normal times, it would take some time at most to get out, but now it is a life-and-death situation where you are racing against time to escape, such a situation is very fatal.

In addition, Roger also made arrangements for the location of the fire. The fire was first burned near the traffic arteries on the edge of the town, which made it even more difficult for the enemy to escape.When the rapidly spreading flames engulfed most of the town of Kent, only a few lucky ones escaped in time, and the rest were all caught in the raging flames.

Under the action of the fire dragon's blood, a raging fire raged throughout the town.The soldiers besieged in the town barely managed to escape, the wailing and screams resounded through the sky, and many people struggled with fire all over their bodies, and then fell headlong into the ruins that were also burning with fire and never got up again.More people were suffocated to death by the thick smoke and poisonous gas, and their bodies were roasted by the fire, emitting a disgusting burnt smell.

"Alas..." Roger on the crossbow platform sighed deeply when he saw this: "The new town of Kent has to be relocated. This place has been polluted by these bastards."

Although Roger started the fire, he always felt like a victim.If these guys hadn't been greedy for the wealth of Kent Town and came all the way to trouble Roger, he wouldn't have to burn down the town he worked so hard to manage.So even though the more than 1 soldiers were burned to death, they were the ones to blame in Luo Jielai. The only thing he cared about was the town that had turned into a sea of ​​flames, and this piece of land polluted by scorched corpses.

However, what made Roger feel somewhat comforted was that because the fire dragon blood that ignited Kent Town was produced in the castle, and the soldiers responsible for igniting the fire were also trained by the castle hub, so the soul power of the more than 1 soldiers who were eliminated were all taken by Roger. absorb.With these soul powers, Roger was able to train many soldiers again, which can be regarded as the harvest brought to him by this fire.

While Roger was quite comforted, everyone on Alonso III's side was as cold as ice.Looking at the burning town of Kent, everyone knows that there is absolutely no possibility of surviving the more than 1 people who rushed into the town.No one, including Alonso III, expected that Roger would be able to do such a thing. He set fire to his own territory and wiped out more than 1 enemies.

Roger's method made everyone secretly startled, and many nobles who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain a vote had to reconsider whether to fight against him.And those nobles who sent all their soldiers into Kent Town to plunder all wanted to cry. These soldiers were all their family assets, and now they were burnt down. This loss is too great.There were a few nobles who were even more miserable, and even the knights under their command died in the sea of ​​fire.Such a large loss would even directly affect the foundation of the nobles' ruling territory, and they would have a headache after returning this time.

As for the ordinary soldiers, they didn't think so much, they were all thankful that they ran a little slower and didn't have time to rush into the town.Otherwise, I am afraid that now, like those guys, they will become a scorched corpse in the fierce fire.

In fact, the biggest impact of this incident is the prestige of Alonso III.After all, nothing happened when Sutil strictly prohibited soldiers from entering the town before, but Alonso III hastily ordered Sutil to lift the blockade of Kent Town as soon as he came, which led to such a tragedy.This incident also made many nobles secretly question Alonso III, feeling that the king did not have the ability to command the army to win.For the Thorne Kingdom, which was established by force, if a king allowed the nobles to have such a law, it would be very detrimental to him.

However, the Thorn Kingdom is a big country after all. The army directly under the kingdom plus the private soldiers brought by the nobles from all over the country has nearly 10 people.Such a large number of troops also gave everyone full confidence in whether they could win the battle, so although some manpower was lost, the contradiction of distrust of the king did not show signs of breaking out for the time being.

In the next few days, the Royal Guards also sent some people to help Sutil's army build siege equipment, which greatly accelerated the manufacturing progress.With a large number of battering rams, siege towers and ladders built, Alonso III's army finally began to officially attack one fine morning.
