I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 90: Bloody Battle at the Castle (I)

When Xiaodao hurriedly ran down from the secondary fortress of Bolas Fortress, the battle on the stone bridge had temporarily come to an end. The five players guarding the bridgehead suffered some injuries, but no one died.

Just at this time, the remaining dozens of players on the opposite side of the bridge also rushed in to reinforce Xiaodao.

After receiving the planned reinforcements, Xiaodao didn't think too much about it. He raised his sword and pointed it towards the opposite side of the stone bridge, then rushed over with the other players.

The guards in Bolas Fortress are being mobilized. The noise across the stone bridge, the chaotic footsteps, and the lights that keep lighting up behind the windows - those are the soldiers holding up torches - are all telling the players.

The enemy is gathering and coming.

Many players have played war games, and they know very well that they must not be blocked in this small place of the secondary fort at this moment, otherwise, the two sides can only shoot at each other across the stone bridge and consume each other's lives.

There are few players, so such consumption is not good for them.

Therefore, you must attack quickly and violently to capture the fortress gate first and let the players below in!

……

"Kill, kill, kill... Kill them all, burn them all!"

There were shouts and cries that reached the sky, flames that lit up half the sky, and players running around chasing the defeated soldiers.

The cool guy who just walked out of a shed and the freed slave laborers behind him were all looking at all this in confusion.

what's going on?
The cool guy felt dizzy. He stood on the roadside holding a bloody machete and looked at the bustling surroundings.

A Minissian in chain mail came running up, uttering shrill, terrified cries and looking back as if some evil spirit were chasing him.

Then, the man ran to the cool guy, and when he turned back inadvertently, he finally saw the latter.

"what……"

The sturdy man screamed like a woman, and no one knew why he behaved like that.

After screaming, the man turned around and ran. However, because of this pause, the player who had been following closely behind him also caught up. He raised his long sword and swung it quickly and fiercely, beheading the player with one blow.

The headless corpse suddenly fell in front of Cool Brother, and the blood spurting out from the headless broken end just dripped down on Cool Brother from top to bottom, turning the already ferocious-looking him into a bloody statue.

When the player who killed the person saw this, he suddenly became embarrassed, wiped his face with his hand, and smiled obsequiously.

"I'm sorry, man, I didn't see you standing here."

After apologizing, the player quickly ran away, passed the cool guy, and ran towards the top of the slope, which was Bolas Fortress.

Cool Guy watched him go away, and before he could move on to rescue people, several players came running over. They saw him and some of them stopped to ask.

"Call me Cool. What are you doing here if you're not going to Bolas Fortress?"

"What Bolas Fortress? What for?!"

"The door is about to open. Don't you know? Xiaodao and his men broke in through the drawbridge behind."

The player shouted at the cool guy.

"Brother, hurry up and get going. Seize the opportunity and get some heads in exchange for something good."

"No, I have things to do."

"What to do?"

"Rescue."

The cool guy's expression was serious, and the player was stunned. After a second or two, he peeked at the shed behind the cool guy, then turned his head and looked around. "Dude, take my advice, don't waste your time here... Forget it, why should I be such an idiot? Goodbye."

The player who tried to persuade the cool guy thought it through carefully. Everyone has different aspirations and everyone has different gaming pleasures. Why force it?

However, this kind-hearted man had better act quickly to save people because he found that a big fire had already started in the shed area.

As to whether this fire was set by the defeated soldiers, or the players were so angry that they felt it was not fun enough without the light of fire, so they lit it with their own hands, no one knows.

The scene is so chaotic, who can say it is certain?

The player left, leaving Cool Guy standing there in a daze.

When the news that Xiaodao and others had attacked Bolas Fortress spread, players who were already online and offline all took action.

Players who had time to be online packed up their things and emerged from the forests on both sides in groups of three or five, heading straight for the earth wall area.

Players who are not online also use the game's idle function to let their game characters rush into the battlefield under the control of the smart butler that replaces the mobile phone.

When in idle mode, the player character's tactical decisions and combat actions are very rigid and formulaic, and it is easy to die miserably when facing a master.

Just like in general online games, when NPCs face players, once the routines and moves are understood, the players will pursue no damage.

There are gains and losses, and players who AFK also understand this.

Therefore, if there is a good friend online doing the same type of task, the AFK player will choose to hand over the command of the AFK character to him, and let the character go with the friend.

In short, most of the players started to take action. They rushed into the battlefield where Cool Brother was. The Minisians, who had been fighting back and forth with a few players, were quickly defeated.

It's not that the Ministian soldiers lack the will to fight, but any group will lack courage when fighting against players who have no blood or tears, including demons.

Being able to hold out against the players for so long here, the Minisians are definitely worthy of the military pay given to them by the kingdom.

After defeating the same number of guards as the players, they chased the fleeing soldiers, rushed up the slope, and climbed towards Bolas Fortress.

……

The Bolas Fortress is not big. It is a small fortress transformed from an ancient knight's castle. It stands on the edge of a cliff and covers a small area. Not counting the secondary fort, it is about the size of a football field.

Because the sub-fortress has a drawbridge that can pass through the canyon, Bolas Castle also serves as a commercial hub in peacetime.

Merchants would drive their carriages along the winding stone mountain road towards Bolas Fortress. After paying the toll, they would enter the castle and then cross the drawbridge of the secondary fort to reach the other side of the canyon.

For this reason, after passing the stone bridge between the secondary castle and the main castle, the player continued to rush along the road that only allowed one carriage to pass, and soon arrived at the main gate area of ​​Bolas, only one step away from opening the city gate.

It sounds good, but in reality, when Xiaodao led the player into this passage, he found that it was a trap.

On both sides of the passage are inner walls that are more than four meters high. Behind the "concave"-shaped parapet are rows of archers and musketeers. They conduct cross-fire from a high position and can turn any enemy who rashly enters into a sack of blood.

The three or four players who rushed faster entered the killing zone and died. One of them was a heavy infantryman wearing heavy half-body armor.

The high manganese steel breastplate provided by Chris was of very good quality, but no matter how good it was, it could not withstand the intensive overhead shooting, especially since the Minisians were using large-caliber muskets of about 20 mm.

Amidst the hail of arrows and gunfire, the Tony helmet on the heavily armored player's head was smashed to pieces on the spot, and the "football" inside was also blown up.

"grass!"

"How to do?"

"What can we do? Either we get shields and form a tortoise shell formation to charge in, or we take a detour and find a way to take down the high walls on both sides of this passage!"
