A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

The terrain was difficult and it was difficult for the Knights to carry the cannons up, so they now used muskets for cover and tried to climb the city walls with simple ladders and grappling ropes.

This siege method was really crude. Even if there were only two or three hundred soldiers in the city, Muzaffar felt that they could hold out for half a day.

In fact, it might be possible to hold out for two or three days, or even until reinforcements arrive.

However, he couldn't hold on.

Because Thomas could be here any minute.

An army of thousands of people is no small task for the Knights, and more than 90% of them may be led by the Grand Master himself.

Muzaffar knew that once Thomas arrived with the bloody cross flag, the situation would be reversed. At that time, with the help of "flying magic", he would fly directly to the top of the city.

Then there is absolutely no chance.

So you have to leave immediately.

The fear was that once he and the Grand Master left, the morale of the defenders would completely collapse. Everyone would try to escape, and the castle would likely be taken by the Knights in no time.

So now he needs to supervise the battle in all directions, to create the illusion for those outsiders or non-core members that they are determined to defend the city to the death, so that they can hold out longer.

He, the Grand Master, and the core members fled by boat.

This is also a normal operation.

Long before he went to meet the Grand Master, he had secretly arranged for a confidant to go there and prepare the ship for sailing.

There were currently three ships anchored in the harbor adjacent to the castle: two warships and a clipper.

Forget about the warships, as it takes a lot of time to prepare for sailing, but the clippers are prepared for this time.

When he came back after supervising the battle, he got on the boat with the grandmaster.

He encouraged the defenders and boosted their morale along the way, and when he reached the end of the coastal corner, his brows furrowed slightly.

A ship of the Knights has actually rushed into the harbor!

Not a battleship, but a clipper!

There are several reefs outside the harbor, and people who are not familiar with the local waters will not easily enter. Navigation is also required to enter.

But this clipper rushed in regardless of everything.

The Knights' navy has begun fighting with the people left behind at the dock.

A knight had already taken the lead and leaped onto the dock, a longsword in each hand, one ablaze with flames, the other glittering with lightning. He charged left and right with extraordinary valor, slaying five or six defenders in a matter of seconds and scattering any who attempted to stop him. He had broken through the barrier, allowing the others on board to disembark safely.

Wherever the two swords go, there is no enemy that can match them.

You can tell at first glance that he is an elite warrior, and an extremely outstanding warrior among the elite.

But no matter how powerful...

It's a bit too arrogant of you to just charge in with a speedboat with only a few dozen crew members.

Moreover, the crew on this ship was not all elite soldiers, because those who came onto the dock after the knight were all musketeers and crossbowmen.

There is no particular advantage in numbers.

Some reckless little guy wants to take credit!

Muzaffar made this judgment instantly.

"You guys," he said to his men. "Mobilize the troops immediately and take back the dock!"

Chapter 264 Siege 3

On the other hand, Thomas on the boat also felt that the situation was somewhat out of control.

Little Balbo is really leading by example!

While this is a good thing for a member of the Order, there are consequences to consider.

If he died here, Thomas felt the consequences would be serious and his father would never let it go.

Although he had equipped little Balbo with a "protective long-range weapon", he couldn't stop the boy from rushing too fast.

I guess he was too excited about going to the battlefield for the first time.

People are different from each other. Most people are nervous and even have a mental breakdown when they go to the battlefield for the first time. It takes many attempts before they get used to it.

But some people are just like this, they are extremely excited.

It seems as if they were born to kill.

Thomas had not yet disembarked, but he saw a group of reinforcements coming from a distance.

There were continuous gunshots in the distance, but it was still too early to attack the castle.

Now we can draw sufficient troops from the castle to counterattack here.

"Joseph, follow him!" Thomas said. "Don't let him get into trouble."

Little Balboa had already rushed to the front.

There was a staircase leading up the ramp. Enemy reinforcements were coming down the stairs. It was clear they were coming with ill intentions.

But little Balbo did not meet the enemy head-on, but rushed towards the stone wall beside him.

He just saw that there were several shooters on the high ground.

The archer is fine, but there is also a man in distinctive clothes and armor who looks like a commander.

Instead of dealing with these worthless soldiers, it is better to catch a big fish.

The flames and lightning on his two swords all dissipated and turned into a faint yellow light.

He swung his sword in his right hand and slashed at the stone wall.

The sword immediately stuck to the stone wall. He used this force to climb up the wall, then slashed at the stone wall with his left hand.

Under the influence of the extraordinary power, the sword was able to merge with the stone wall, giving him the opportunity to climb up.

He had been blessed with the "brute force technique" and the "lightness technique", and now he climbed up like a monkey.

In just a few steps, he had climbed from the bottom of the cliff to the top of the city wall.

Even Thomas was surprised.

It’s just like those mountaineers I saw in my previous life climbing mountains with ice axes!

This kid's extraordinary power is really amazing!

But this situation... is bad!

If this kid goes up like this, even Joseph won’t be able to support him!

On this side, little Balbo had already jumped onto the city wall.

The musketeers who were loading bullets were no match for him and were chopped down one by one by his sword.

Muzaffar was originally walking back to gather his men, but he had just walked a short distance when he heard the sound of fighting from behind.

When he looked back, he saw that the knight had just knocked down the last musketeer and was rushing over.

In the opponent's hand, there was a sword with condensation on it, emitting thick mist.

Lightning flashed on the other sword.

Without thinking too much, he drew his sword and prepared to fight.

He was also a veteran elite warrior. Although he was surprised, he was not panicked.

But he couldn't withstand the opponent's fake attack in the air, and a wave of thick fog hit him in the face.

The thick fog covered the area, and for a moment, the vision was severely obstructed.

The sound of breaking air reached my ears. This time it was real!

Muzaffar swung his sword to block the long sword that was coming down from the air, but he suddenly felt panic in his heart.

The opponent is dual wielding weapons.

In this era, there are very few dual-wielding warriors. Even if most people use two-handed swords, they will choose a two-handed sword, a half-handed sword, or a machete.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, when you encounter someone who is dual wielding, you will feel uncomfortable for a short period of time.

It’s not that you can’t fight, but you need three to five moves to adapt to the characteristics of the opponent’s dual-wielding attack.

If the conditions were different, Muzaffar might have had a chance.

But at this moment, he blocked out of habit, but forgot about the lightning sword in the opponent's hand.

The swords clashed, and a violent electric shock shook his entire body.

Before he could come to his senses, another sword had already slashed down from the air, wrapped in mist and surging towards him.

This lightning-fast scene was the last thing Muzaffar could see.

I should have worn a helmet...

These were his last thoughts.

But in order to boost morale and make himself more recognizable to his subordinates, he wore armor but not a helmet.

Little Balbo knocked the Crescent Moon cultist, who looked like a commander, to the ground with one sword.

The sword pierced the brain, killing him in one blow. It was the kind of fatal blow that you could tell at a glance that there was no need for a follow-up blow.

He continued forward excitedly, killing his way along the city wall.

To be honest, there weren't many defenders on the city wall, they were all archers. Furthermore, the city wall itself was quite narrow, so even a large number of people wouldn't be able to maneuver around.

All mobile forces were transferred to retake the dock.

Little Balbo fought his way through, surprisingly unstoppable. In the blink of an eye, he had already killed and dispersed more than ten defenders in an area.

Under his cover, several knights rushed to the top of the city wall along a ladder.

Soldiers continued to rush in, one after another.

The shouting and screaming outside the city became extremely exciting, and everyone knew that they had won.

The fierce battle lasted for about an hour.

The fight started at dawn, and by the time it was bright, there was no suspense at all.

The city gates had been captured and the knights' soldiers poured in.

This time, Thomas entered the city safely without bloodshed.

It was totally unexpected that this time it was little Balbo who made the greatest contribution.

Little Balbo's performance was too outstanding to be concealed even if one wanted to.

He was the first to leap onto the dock, scattering the defenders. He then scaled the wall alone, killing the enemy commander, and finally, he continued along the wall, covering his allies as they climbed up. His performance was truly remarkable.

That’s right, the enemy commander, the one called Muzaffar, was said to be a very strategic and experienced man.

He was killed by a single sword by little Balbo who was on the battlefield for the first time.

Thomas also saw Muzaffar's body.

When he used black magic before, he had carefully inquired about the people in charge of the Star-Moon Sword Castle and knew their names and appearances.

It should be Muzaffar.

However, the battle wasn't over yet. The Star-Moon Sword warriors within the city continued to fight to the death. They occupied a small corner, relying on the terrain to their advantage and put up a desperate resistance.

A group of enemies still occupied the highest point of the castle.

Of course, these are just desperate struggles and can't change anything.

Chapter 265 Siege 4

Thomas walked through the aisle. Several wounded soldiers in front of him saw the commander coming and reluctantly stood up and saluted.

"No need to be so polite." Thomas frowned. There were quite a few casualties on his side.

Of course, casualties are inevitable when dealing with diehard religious elements.

There was a loud explosion in the distance, and a moment later, a group of knights soldiers crawled out to escape.

Thomas recognized the leader as a knight—a full member of the Order.
