Chapter 52 I Really Can't Think of a Reason to Lose
"kill!!!"

Deafening shouts and screams echoed above the city walls.

Countless siege ladders were erected in front of the city walls, and large numbers of mercenaries and soldiers were climbing up densely.

From a distance, the city wall looked like it was clinging to countless ants.

In the Starlight Continent where knights roam everywhere, the defensive effect of the towering city walls is not very obvious.

Even an apprentice knight could climb up the city wall despite arrows and falling rocks.

Not to mention the knights, a height of just a few dozen meters is just a matter of a few vertical jumps for them.

Therefore, the city walls often become the key point of fierce competition between the two sides.

Less than half an hour after the war broke out, the city wall had turned into a bloody battlefield like a meat grinder. Blood spread outward along the cracks between the bricks and soon soaked the ground.

Behind the battlefield.

In the heavily guarded center of the army, four armored knights looked coldly at the bloody city wall.

Daven frowned and said, "The resistance of Black Rock City is unexpectedly strong."

"That's normal." The tall Zolf said in a deep voice, "Expanding the army is all about money. Key holds a treasure like the Black Stone Mine. If his military strength doesn't improve at all, then he'd be a waste."

Norwood smiled and said, "Don't worry. Our military strength is several times that of Black Rock City. We can't lose no matter how hard we try."

Then she gave a flattering smile to the man next to her.

"Besides, we still have Lord Martell here. With you leading the army, defeating Blackrock City will be a piece of cake."

The man named Martell was about forty years old, with a tough face and a strong aura. He was one of the newly appointed lords after Owen occupied the Glittering Territory, and was also his confidant.

Martell was also a high-ranking knight.

This time he led the army to the battle under Owen's orders, and he also tried his best to gain merit so as to be granted more land.

After hearing Norwood's words, Martell's face flashed with pride, and he smiled: "Lord Norwood is right. With a gap of several times in military strength, I really can't think of any reason to lose."

Daven was more mature and prudent after all. Seeing the two people's disdain for Black Stone City, he couldn't help but remind them: "Don't forget that there is a wizard in Black Stone City."

"Lord Dawen is talking about Sunan, right?"

Norwood smiled.

"We watched that kid grow up. He was weak and timid since he was young, and his body was so weak that he couldn't even practice breathing techniques. How could such a loser be a wizard?"

"Besides, it's still unclear whether the wizard's rumors are true or not."

Martel also looked unconvinced.

Even if it was a real wizard, he, a high-ranking knight, would not be afraid.

In fact, Daven was also skeptical about this rumor, but seeing that the two men didn't care, he stopped talking and continued to watch the battle in the distance.

The first group of people attacking the city were mercenaries and the troops brought by the three lords, and their fighting ability was not outstanding.

Therefore, our army has not yet captured the city wall and the fierce tug of war is still going on.

Because of the long-term siege, the offensive of our army has begun to show some signs of fatigue.

Seeing this, Martell finally couldn't hold back and rushed forward with his elite troops from the Shining Territory.

As Martell's army entered the battlefield, the pressure on the defenders increased sharply.

In just a moment, the attacking army occupied another step of the city wall.

Martell, with his indomitable bravery, plowed a bloody path through the defenders, causing the defense line to become shaky.

Seeing this scene from afar through a brass telescope, Devin and the other two all showed joy at the same time.

"As expected of Lord Martell, he is truly amazing!"

"This is the power of a high-level knight!"

But just as the three were rejoicing, the situation on the city wall suddenly changed.

A group of panther-like creatures suddenly rushed onto the city wall and pounced fiercely on the attacking army.

These beasts were unexpectedly strong, and they were evenly matched with the knights. For a time, the attacking momentum of the siege army came to a standstill.

Key also appeared on the city wall with a black panther and stopped Martel.

Although Key was only a junior great knight and his strength was far inferior to Martell, he had a fearless great knight-level Black Rock Leopard by his side.

The man and the beast cooperated perfectly, and for a moment even Martell could not do anything to them.

"What is that?" Norwood was surprised.

Daven and Zorf also showed surprised expressions.

Coming back to his senses, Daven hesitated and said, "That looks like the mount of the Black Rock Cavalry."

"Mount?"

Zolph and Norwood looked at each other in astonishment.

They knew that Blackrock City had formed a cavalry regiment, and the mount was said to be a strange leopard beast.

At the time, they scoffed at it and didn't take it too seriously.

Although many exotic beasts are more powerful than war horses, being powerful does not mean they are suitable for the battlefield.

For cavalrymen, what is more important for a mount is its degree of taming and its ability to obey the master's orders.

Only in this way can the effect of one plus one be greater than two be achieved.

However, it is extremely rare to find exotic beasts that can be domesticated on a large scale and adapted to the battlefield.

At the time, Daven and the other two thought that Black Rock City was just trying to attract attention.

But when they actually saw it, they were shocked to find that those Black Panthers advanced and retreated in a measured manner, cooperated very well, and were fearless of death. They were more elite than the most elite soldiers!
It's really suitable for the battlefield!

If all the mounts of the Black Rock Cavalry were creatures of this kind, then the combat effectiveness of this army would be terrifying!

With two hundred Black Rock Leopards joining the battlefield, the area originally occupied by the attacking party was quickly taken back.

The battle suddenly fell into a stalemate again.

"Damn it! Black Rock City actually has this kind of trump card!" Norwood looked annoyed.

Zolf frowned and said, "This is troublesome. With those strange beasts here, it may not be so easy to break through Black Stone City."

Daveen also frowned.

With such a variable suddenly appearing out of nowhere, even if they can finally capture Black Rock City, they will probably be seriously damaged.

"Attacking a city will cause too much loss, it is better to besiege it."

After thinking for a while, Daven looked at the other two.

"Winter is just over, and there must not be much food in Black Rock City. If we besiege it for a month or two, Black Rock City will not be able to hold out, and they will definitely leave the city and fight us."

Zolf and Norwood's eyes lit up and they nodded.

"good idea."

"I will propose this when Lord Martell returns!"

When going out of the city for the decisive battle, the main force will be the elite cavalry regiment under the command of Baron Owen.

In this way, their military casualties can be reduced.

When the three of them were feeling proud of coming up with a good idea, they suddenly heard a shrill scream in their ears.

They turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound, and were shocked to find that the right wing of the army, where the elite cavalry regiment was located, was in chaos for some unknown reason.

Hundreds of war horses fled in all directions, and the neighing sounds were endless.

Many cavalrymen were thrown off their horses and then trampled into pulp by the hooves of the oncoming horses.

In the process of calming their horses, more cavalrymen were suddenly thrown out as if they were hit by a galloping elephant, falling more than ten meters away, howling in agony.

Some unlucky ones even had their bodies twisted into strange arcs in mid-air, and died without even a sound after landing on the ground.
