Heart of the Castle

Chapter 276 The Battle Between the City and the City
Tang Na's character is extremely brave, otherwise he would not have confronted a demonized knight with the strength of the seeds of battle qi that he had not yet comprehended when the last demonic disaster came, and finally suffered a severe injury that could not be recovered for more than ten years.If it wasn't for Li Wei's healing technique, he would still be hiding in the countryside farming with a lame leg. Where can he put on his armor and fight like he is now?

Among the followers around Li Wei, the loyalty of the ranger Warren and the female thief Martha is mixed with awe, the loyalty of the sniper archer Sir Grace is mixed with the belief that Li Wei can help him avenge, Only the loyalty of Donald the Roaring Bear was impeccable.Whether it was healing his old wounds from many years ago, or giving him Fierce Fighting Qi, for Tang Na, it was enough for him to devote all his loyalty to it.That's why he was able to issue a blood alliance to Li Wei without hesitation and became the first blood alliance knight beside Li Wei.

Both Draconic and Dickway were high-ranking knights with the power to dissipate fighting spirit, but after seeing Sir Ridvan's fighting spirit, they still couldn't help feeling a little hesitant in their hearts.But Tang Na didn't even have the slightest hesitation. He stood firmly on his feet suddenly, and let out a crazy roar from his mouth.

The fiendish grudge on the bear-headed battle ax was ignited again, and it slashed towards Sir Ridwan.In the first confrontation between the two just now, although Sir Lidwan had the upper hand, he was extremely limited.Although Tang Na's fighting spirit level is inferior to his, but the ferocious nature of Fiercefire fighting spirit is better than his green stone fighting spirit which has reached the level of heaven, and Tang Na's strength is also stronger than Sir Lydwan's. Much bigger.Adding the two together, Sir Ridwan actually did not take advantage of anything.

Seeing Donner attacking again, Sir Lidwan took a deep breath, and raised his sword to meet him. The two knights with extraordinary strength started a fierce hand-to-hand battle in front of the city gate, with swords and battle axes They slammed into each other, sparks burst out, mixed with the hiss of two people fighting against each other, and they circled behind the walls of the Green Castle.

At this time, the victory or defeat of the battle for the city wall has been roughly determined. The morale of the guards of the Green Castle is low, and they are suppressed by the continuous arrow rain from the archers below the city. It's really pathetic.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the heavy infantry and militia quickly rushed under the city wall. They not only swarmed towards the city gate, but also climbed up the cracks in the city wall of the Green Castle. With the long sword, all the guards who dared to resist were chopped to the ground.

The wind dancer Golei Joey charged up along one of the gaps. He didn't wear heavy armor like other knights, but only wore a set of studded leather armor. He held a sword in his right hand and a small circlet in his left hand. shield.Such light equipment allowed him to scurry between the gaps in the city wall like a civet cat, avoiding the stones and flying arrows flying down from his head, and soon he was the first to jump to the top of the city.

Several Greencastle guards with long swords and shields came up to meet them. Several shields painted with green leaf marks closed up to form a shield wall, pushing towards Gao Lei Joey, trying to squeeze him off the wall.

Gao Lei? Joy's speed was astonishingly fast, and the sword light flashed and pierced under the edge of a shield. After a scream, a guard fell down holding a bloody broken foot, causing a shield to appear on the shield wall. fatal gap.

The wind dancer really passed through this gap like a gust of wind.A guard cursed, threw down his cumbersome shield, and rushed towards Gao Lei? Joey's head with a sword.The body of the wind dancer suddenly fell down, and the sharp sword stabbed forward like a poisonous snake.The guard screamed and fell to the ground, his lower abdomen covered with his hands was dripping bright red.

Someone rushed up from another gap in the city wall. The one who rushed to the front was Knight Templeton with a scar on his forehead. He was dressed more like an ordinary knight. He had a helmet, armor and cloak. Holding a shield with a blood-dripping sword painted on it.While shouting "For Lord Li Wei!", he used the long sword in his hand to chop down the guards of the Green Castle one by one.

The two knights each occupied a position at the top of the city, and then the soldiers behind them swarmed up, suppressing the Green Castle guards to retreat step by step.Among them, there are Copman knights on the east side of the city, leading a few dismounted cavalry to block the advance of the Templeton knights, but the commander on the west side has been killed, and the guards, whose morale was already very low, suddenly became confused. In front of the sword light of the hunter, he retreated step by step.

It seemed that the victory of the siege troops was irreversible. However, at this moment, several knights wearing unmarked gray-black armor in the city gate area began to move. One of them appeared in front of the unstoppable Golei Joey. before.

"Are you a knight? Report your name. I don't want to fight with a guy who hides his head and shows his tail." Gao Lei Qiao said in a low voice.

"I am the one who sent you into the Kingdom of Eternal Night. You can call me the Ferryman of the River Styx." The black-armored knight replied in a low and hoarse voice, and at the same time the long sword slid out of its sheath with a clang.

"I prefer to call you Sister Sorrow. Although you are wearing armor, you have the same behavior as those nuns who vowed not to reveal their names." Gao Lei Joy finished coldly, and suddenly jumped forward, The sword light streaked across the sky like lightning.

The black-armored knight firmly blocked the sword, but before he could counterattack, the next sword of the wind dancer came one after another. The sword light continued continuously, and a brilliance bloomed on the left and right sides of the black-armored knight's body, looking tall Ray Joy had literally six arms, each wielding a long sword.

In front of the wind dancer's fast sword, the black-armored knight resisted very reluctantly. Sparks erupted from his gray-black armor from time to time, and a dent appeared on the faceplate, neck armor, and left shoulder.

Gao Lei? Joey's fighting spirit became more and more vigorous. The sword light was so fast that people couldn't see clearly. The black armor knight was a little flustered by the continuous slashing and stabbing. The original strict defense gradually revealed flaws that should not have existed.The wind dancer keenly grasped this point, he took a sudden step forward, the sword light pierced against the black armored knight's long sword, and bit deeply into the tiny gap between his neck armor and helmet middle.

Feeling that the blade pierced the skin, muscle, and finally stopped on the neck bone, Gory Joy laughed loudly to express his victory.However, the next moment, the black-armored knight who was pierced through the neck suddenly swung his sword, and the sharp knight sword slashed fiercely on Wind Dancer's right forearm.

Gao Lei Joy's laughter turned into screams, and the wind dancer staggered back. The long sword fell to the ground, and the right hand holding the sword hung limply, leaving only some skin and muscles connected to the arm.The black-armored knight let out a deep sneer and chased forward. Several heavy infantrymen with large shields blocked him, and the militiamen behind hurriedly helped Gao Lei Joey, who had lost his right hand, to retreat.

A muffled sound of blows was accompanied by a scream. The shield raised by a heavy infantryman was cut off in the middle by the sword of the black armored knight, and it fell to the ground together with the left hand holding the shield. The black armored knight swung his sword mercilessly at His head was chopped off, splitting his head and helmet in two.

On the other wall, Knight Templeton was in an indissoluble battle with Knight Copman. Both of them were quasi-high-level knights who were close to the level of vindictiveness, and there was not much difference in swordsmanship and strength.Although the Copman knights have more combat experience, the cunning of the Templeton knights makes up for this, but the veteran Greencastle vassal knights are slightly disadvantaged.

When several black-armored knights walked in this direction, Knight Templeton's heart skipped a beat. He roared suddenly. His fierce appearance made Knight Copman think that he was about to go all out. Deal with the opponent's stormy attack.However, the Copman knight had just retreated, but the opponent in front of him simply turned around and rushed down the wall.

The troops attacking the east wall retreated faster than those attacking the west wall, but they suffered less losses.Knight Templeton, who served as the commander, was not injured, and brought back nearly [-]% of his subordinates.The commander in the east, Gao Lei Joey, lost his ability to fight and was sent to the back to be bandaged urgently. Less than half of the heavy infantry who followed him to the top of the wall could retreat.

The black-armored knights mercilessly mopped up the attackers who were still on the top of the city. Whether they were seriously injured or corpses, they all chopped off their heads with the knight sword in their hands, tied them to their belts, and put the headless The corpse was thrown out of the city wall.This scene was so brutal that the guards of the Green Castle in the same camp felt shuddering, and the cheers immediately fell down.

The siege troops outside the city were filled with righteous indignation. Everyone shook their weapons, eager to launch another attack immediately, so that these arrogant and brutal black armored knights could experience the same feeling.However, the knights who can now serve as commanders have lost confidence. Of course, the Templeton knights, who had avoided the battle, did not dare to attack the city again. His strength is not as good as that of Gao Lei Joey who has a broken arm.

The attacker's hesitation was noticed by the black-armored knights. An exceptionally tall guy walked to the front, stepped on the crenel, and made an insulting gesture downward. Although he didn't speak, he That feeling of contempt made every attacker see it clearly.

Knight Copman frowned. The actions of this black-armored knight were simply the most ideal target.Sure enough, before he could say the warning, the next moment, there was a swishing sound of tearing the air, and dozens of sharp arrows shot towards the black armored knight.

The black-armored knight let out a smirk, swung his long sword around, and cut most of the flying arrows into two pieces, and the remaining few shot at his gray-black armor, and bounced out with a tinkling sound. .

"Weak knight, weak bow and arrow!" The black-armored knight yelled in a wild voice, "Get out of our sight, or end up like those guys just now..."

A silver light flashed, and the head of the black-armored knight was thrown back, before he fell to the ground.

Sir Grace held a silver fir longbow in his hand, and replied in a cold voice: "The bow and arrow are indeed average, but... it is enough to kill you."

However, behind the city wall that he couldn't see, the black-armored knight whose head was pierced by the triangular armor-piercing arrow twitched violently, and seemed to want to stand up.One of his companions hastily bent down and held him down with his hands, as if praying to the dead body.

"Your Majesty Ku Xi, do you want your lord's plan to come to an end?"

"Of course not, I just forgot that I was supposed to die." The tall black armored knight replied, "When will I be able to pull out this thing stuck in my head? It feels weird."

"When the battle is over," replied his companion, "or when we must evacuate."

Sir Grace's sharp shot boosted the morale of the attackers, but the black armored knights guarding the top of the city could not be suppressed by him with a longbow. The main gate of the Green Castle was blocked by two powerful knights fighting fiercely. The attackers had no good targets to attack for a while, so they could only stop there and wait for the city gate to decide the outcome.

But they probably won't have to wait long, because the fierce battle in front of the city gate has come to an end.Roaring Bear Donald's panting was very heavy, his steps were staggering, and the Fierce Fire fighting energy attached to the battle ax was also dim.Scars spread all over his body: a jeweled eye was missing from the bear-head helmet; the metal disc protecting his right shoulder was cut in half, and only half of it hung on the shoulder; the rest, including the breastplate, leg There are shiny sword marks of different shades on the armor and neck armor.The khaki gauntlet protecting his arm was covered with blood, and blood was flowing from the gaps in the armor on his body, like many bright red snakes slithering away.

His opponent seemed much lighter. Sir Ridwan's armor was lighter than Donner's, but it still belonged to the category of knight's armor. Except for a scorched black scar on his shoulder, the Lord of Greencastle was completely naked. No loss, just some changes in the emerald green stone grudge.

Inside the emerald-like Dou Qi, those black auras are thicker, giving the whole Dou Qi an ominous smell. In addition to blood, there seems to be a faint smell of corpses in the air.

Both Dragonson and Dickway had blue veins on their foreheads, and they didn't blink their nervous eyes. They stared at the fight between Donner and Sir Ridwan. When his body staggered, the corners of their eyes trembled, wishing they could rush up to replace him.However, the two high-ranking knights knew very well that if they had been one-on-one with Sir Ridwan, they would have been lying on the ground and turned into a corpse by now.

After all, the gap between Dou Qi Tianhua and Dou Qi Sanhua is far greater than the difference in level. The two high-ranking knights are proud of their bravery, but it's okay to let them challenge a great knight or a great knight. A title knight is beyond the limit of their ability.

As for going forward side by side, although it violated the practice of confrontation between knights, it can be explained because it was during a war rather than a duel.However, the city gate is very narrow, and there is no room for three people to attack at the same time. Besides, there is a black-armored knight standing with a sword on the opposite side. It seems that he is at least a great knight who has reached the stage of fighting spirit.

A rush of horns sounded from outside the city gate, filled with panic and panic. Dragunson's face changed slightly, and he said in disbelief, "The sound of this horn is...retreat immediately?"

"What happened outside?" Dickway was also a little confused.

On the contrary, Brother Ace Pross, who was wearing gray-black armor, let out a burst of laughter, and shouted at Sir Ridwan who was fighting.

"Master Ridwan, our reinforcements have arrived."

"Reinforcements?" Dragongsun and Dickwell asked in unison in surprise.

"Where did you get reinforcements from?"

"Of course the surrounding lords." Brother Ace Pross had a bright smile on his mouth, but it gave off an extremely gloomy feeling for no reason. "They were all invited, and they are going to work with Sir Lidwan to eliminate Levi Ston and his accomplices who have stolen the military power of the Viscount's territory."

"Damn you!" Dragonson roared angrily, ignoring the conventions of knightly confrontation, he raised his frighteningly large sword and approached.

Before he could move forward enough to join the fight, however, Sir Ridwan sideways dodged a heavy strike from Donner, took a few steps back, and broke away from the fight.

"The outcome is clear, Lord Donner." After the fierce battle, Sir Ridwan still carried that extraordinary calmness, and even his breathing did not change much. "Now you are doomed. If you don't want to be buried with Levi Ston, then put down your weapons."

"You're dreaming!" Tang Na replied simply and forcefully, his breathing was very heavy, and there was a strong smell of blood. It was obvious that his internal organs had been seriously injured by the battle just now, but he looked at Sir Ridwan's gaze was still sharp, with an unyielding fighting spirit burning inside.

"We will never give in!" Di Kewei also replied coldly: "Even if we fail in the end, you, the guy who led the wolf into the house, will not end well!"

But among the three, Dragoonson, who knew Sir Ridwan the most, didn't say a word. He just showed a puzzled expression, and looked at the elegant face of the Lord of Greencastle, which looked pale and aristocratic. .

"Dragonsun, why, are you afraid?" Di Kewei turned his head strangely without hearing the words of the last companion, "You don't mean to surrender, do you?"

"Surrender? Absolutely!" Dragunson growled in a low voice, and then he muttered something strangely, even Dickway who was beside him couldn't hear it clearly.

"What did you just say?" Dickwell asked, but Dragonson didn't answer him, but called out to Donner who was standing in the front.

"Master Donner, let's retreat first! If the armies of those lords really attack, there will be no commanders in the army."

This proposal is undoubtedly very correct. Donna nodded, and retreated slowly while keeping the bear-headed battle ax vigilantly in front of him, always ready to deal with the pursuit of Sir Ridvan or others.What surprised him was that until the three of them left the city gate and stepped onto the wooden passage, neither Sir Lidwan nor the black-armored knight had any intention of chasing them, but stood there quietly, Watching them leave with mocking eyes.
