"Oil?" General Terrenders raised his brows lightly and didn't pay much attention. It was very common for this dilapidated military town to store such things, but it was so old that it probably couldn't be used even if it hadn't evaporated completely.

Seeing that the commander didn't take this to heart, Dmitri reported some more results. He just found some old weapons depots, but the equipment was all made of scrap metal from more than a hundred years ago, and the cellars and granaries were also rotten.

of wheat straw, and Terrenders soon lost interest.

"General."

"Forget it, it's just an extravagant wish. I can't blame you." Tyrandez waved his hand. He knew that he couldn't force others to do anything. The young people in front of him had done their best.

"Then Sir, why don't we send people down the mountain to collect food? Maybe we can sustain it for a while." Dmitri suggested. Although this is a border area, he still remembered that there were some villages scattered around on the way here.

Perhaps there can be a solution to the military's urgent needs.

But Terrenders shook his head after hearing this, "Even if there is barren land in the mountains, it will be a drop in the bucket. What's more, it's a lean season. We can't collect food for a few days, and the villagers may starve to death. After that,

a few days,

If there is no news again, you can lead a team of people to the south to contact and see what happened in the south." It has been too long since I received no contact. I sent several waves of people into the sea, and the experienced Tyrandes has already been there.

I felt something was vaguely wrong.

"But sir, you have already sent out several groups of people. If I leave again, your side -"

"Staying here is definitely not a long-term solution. I have a feeling that something big is going to happen. It would be better for you to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible." Terrenders looked at the young man in front of him and said earnestly. He said before

People have been sent away from here more than once, leaving only a few old and weak people around. Little Dmitri is considered the only young person left here with great achievements.

"Then General, you might as well leave with us!" Of course he knew the commander's good intentions. With tears in his eyes, Dmitri was unwilling to leave the Pebble Castle alone, and tried to persuade Tyrandes.

Terrenders said: "I and the old guys here are different from you. We swore to the prince to be stationed here, and we will never leave our posts without permission even if there is only one soldier left, and you are still here."

There is still a long way to go after you are young, and you cannot die here in vain. I have made up my mind, you will take your team down the mountain tomorrow."

The candlelight in the military tent illuminated the old general's white hair, and his face carved by wind and frost swords was full of determination. Looking at him, little Dmitri hesitated to speak, but in the end he still

They gave up the idea of ​​persuading. At this moment, the old man and the young man seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. They looked at each other in silence, which was better than a thousand words. The flickering lights reflected the light and shadow of the two people on the curtain behind them.

At this moment, the sudden noise of shouting for death broke the silent night. How could this happen? Terrenders and Demetrius became alert. Soon, the sudden fire outside the tent made them both

They were inexplicable shock. Could it be that there was a fire in the castle? They walked out of the tent without thinking. As soon as Dmitry and Terrenders raised their heads, they saw "meteors" wrapped in flames in the sky heading toward them from the sky.

Come smash it.

"Get out of the way!"

"Be careful! There is an enemy attack!"

An exclamation of warning came from the side, and the guards who rushed forward threw the two of them down, and then avoided the fatal blow. When Dmitri reacted, he turned and looked behind him, only to see where they were standing.

Even the military tent was smashed into a huge fire pit by the flaming "meteor".

"What is this?" Dmitri, who was completely confused about the situation, muttered to himself in order to escape.

General Terrenders on the side was much calmer. He could tell at a glance that this was not caused by some meteor from the sky. "It's a counterweight trebuchet. I saw this thing when I went to the Holy Land decades ago."

, if we can bring it here, it looks like we are in big trouble."

Looking at the guard on the side, Terrenders asked: "How is the situation?"

The guard reported: "We are still sending people to check. It is too dark. We also asked the general to go to the city wall to take charge of the overall situation." It was completely unprepared. Pebble Castle did not expect the enemy to come back to attack at night, and the mountain road was the most rugged.

direction, so the defenders in the city are now in chaos, and Terrenders himself is urgently needed to calm down the morale of the troops.

The old general didn't hesitate at all. He looked at little Dmitri, who had also calmed down, and said with a smile: "It seems there is no way to drive you away."

"Even if you are chasing me, I will not leave." Dmitri patted his chest, showing his determination to fight side by side.

Terrenders nodded and said: "Then send your company to come with me to the other side of the city wall to meet the enemy."

"Yes, my general."

…

Although the name of Pebble Castle is a castle, its architectural structure is not a Western European-style fortress. In addition to being in disrepair, its walls are dilapidated, low, and thin. But it is also due to this that the counterweighted stones were thrown.

The projection range of the aircraft was too high, and stone bullets and asphalt barrels fell into the city, but even so, the soldiers guarding the city were frightened by this sudden posture and were in panic all day long.

There was a cry of killing in the dark night, and nothing else could be seen. The only thing that could be felt was the dull pace getting closer and closer. The nervous city guards subconsciously stuck their heads out and looked below the tower.

Suddenly, he saw a straight "black snake" scurry up the city wall from the thick fog of the night, and bit him hard on the female wall with two sharp "fangs" on its head.

He jumped and fell heavily to the ground. When the torch was lit up on the top of the city, the defenders of Pebble Castle discovered that the "black snake" was not there just now, but a ladder. At the same time, more

The ladders were also put up on the top of the city, more and more, and the sound of the ladders and city bricks being knocked was rhythmic and oppressive, until a roar woke up the shocked defenders.

"What are you still doing? Do you want to die here?" General Terrenders, who had climbed to the top of the city, scolded everyone with lightning speed as soon as he showed up.

"Everyone should return to their posts immediately and prepare for battle. The enemy is about to board the tower! Soldiers of the Fourth and Fifth Brigades, prepare your weapons to meet the enemy."

The words of the old general seemed to contain infinite power. The originally panicked defenders of Pebble Castle cheered up and the chaos on the tower became orderly again. At this time, Dmitri also brought his

The company rushed over to provide support, and also brought many rolling logs and rocks. These items were all found in old warehouses and could be used just in time.

Seeing this, Tyrandez nodded. This was exactly what was needed. Although the accuracy was not high in the dark, it continued to cause casualties to the enemy troops who entered the city.

"The enemy is coming!" Upon hearing the movement, the alert soldiers shouted.

Without further delay, General Terrenders immediately asked Demetrius to distribute the equipment for defending the city to others, and then shouted, "Down with rolling logs and rocks! First knock down their forwards, and then shoot with bows and arrows!" In an instant,

, one call and hundreds of responses. In the hundreds of previous exercises of Tyrundes, the defenders of Pebble Castle had already had a tacit understanding, so the rolling logs and rocks fell one after another, and the following came one after another.

It was the sniper crossbowmen who fired strong bows and crossbows at the enemies climbing up in the darkness. Sure enough, screams from the enemy soldiers kept coming from the city, but neither Demetrius nor Terrenders showed a smile.
