716(1/2)
Today's battle was even more brutal than yesterday, and most of the giants who originally didn't know much about human tactics had gained experience.
At this time, the human soldiers also made targeted improvements to the giants' fighting methods. This time, there was a lack of panic in the giants' siege.
"Go to hell!" Unilla was limping, relying on the city wall to avoid the attacks of the giants. Watching the giants knock down one of his soldiers, he stabbed the long sword in his hand quickly and accurately.
The other person's chest.
Along with the roar of the giant, another giant swept his arms, and the originally solid city wall was shattered under the continuous hammer blows of the giant!
"No!" Several soldiers fell from the city wall, and one of them was knocked aside by a heavy blow from the giant during the fall. He hit the city wall and fell heavily.
"Be careful!" Viscount Leofric looked at a giant's iron fist. The next moment, it was about to hit Elinor's shoulder heavily, but the opponent forcefully held up the terrifying blow.
With the sound of broken shoulder bones, Elinor pierced the giant's arm with the cross guard sword in her hand.
Wails sounded, and Owen on the other side also picked up the steel crossbow in his hand, and the crossbow arrow penetrated the air and pierced the giant's eyes fiercely.
"Can't retreat!" At this time, the giants were already feeling a little tired. The giants were huge and their daily consumption was extremely high. However, such long-range combat, coupled with yesterday's fierce battle, really left them exhausted.
One night may be enough for humans to restore their physical strength, but compared to giants, it is too little!
"That's it now." At this time, Eleanor also paused for a moment, then looked around, raised her hand, and launched a blazing blue short arrow into the sky, which immediately exploded!
The next moment, a silver-red flower bloomed in the sky. Many people in the viscounty were shocked when they saw the fireworks in mid-air.
"What a brilliant communication method. It can be seen even from a thousand meters away," Viscount Leofric said with some surprise. "These things are simply weapons on the battlefield."
Of course, when hearing this, Elinor seemed to smile slightly, thousands of meters away? This is too underestimated the "clairvoyance" produced by the Marquis.
That's right, how can these backward viscounties understand the advanced technology of the marquisdom?
…
"Huh? The wait is finally here," Captain Cary was wandering around boredly, holding a piece of grass he picked up from the ground casually in his mouth. The moment he saw the fireworks, he stood up excitedly and shouted with extreme joy on his face.
, "Everyone, tidy up your clothes and then rush after me!"
More than a hundred fully armed cavalry galloped towards Trubrun. They were riding exceptionally tall horses, and the armor on their bodies was very surprising from the ordinary soldiers of the Lion Realm, and seemed to be more colorful.
However, the journey that originally took more than an hour took less than twenty minutes, and the people on the city wall of Trubrun could already see this force approaching.
"Lord Elinor, it's Captain Cary and the others," a soldier from the Marquisdom said to Elinor.
"It came so quickly," Viscount Leofric also sighed.
"It's not too fast," Unilla said with a curled lip as she gritted her teeth and corrected the broken bone.
"No, you saw how quickly they arrived, but you didn't notice the speed they ran after they appeared within our sight.
This ability to sprint over short distances is the most terrifying thing. These Marquis soldiers are quite terrifying." Viscount Leofric analyzed calmly.
"Ah this..." Unilla took a closer look and saw that the speed of the flying red soldiers was particularly terrifying, and they still kept the overall formation intact. This level was really terrifying.
"But their number is a bit small," Barbara frowned at this time, "These people may not be able to guarantee the absolute safety of our town of Trubrun. Lady Eleanor, this is all
Reinforcements?”
"Of course not," Elinor said with a faint smile, "We never expected that the number and combat power of these giants would be so terrifying. The Marquis has already understood everything, and the second batch of reinforcements will arrive soon.
.”
"That's good," Viscount Leofric also breathed a sigh of relief, "With these new soldiers, we can at least hold on for a while longer."
From the speed and discipline of these soldiers, Viscount Leofric can conclude that this group of reinforcements is stronger than the soldiers of the viscounty in all aspects. This makes Viscount Leofric, who has spent half his life in the army,
, it is inevitable to feel a little disappointed.
Just thinking about it, if these soldiers are not good enough, it will be difficult to wait for the support of the Marquis Territory who comes again. After all, it can be known from the appearance of Eileen in the town of Trubrun so early. The Marquis Territory is afraid that
We have already prepared the team in front of us to deal with possible crises.
That's why these people appeared in the town of Trubrun at such a speed. However, if the enemy's strength exceeds the original budget and the soldiers are mobilized again, I'm afraid it will take some time.
Without this new group of soldiers, the viscounty might not be able to survive until that time.
"Then should we prepare to welcome them into the city?" Unilla seemed to have thought of something and said enthusiastically.
"What's the response? If the war situation changes, just ask the Viscount to help," Elinor said with a smile.
What's the meaning?
Unilla touched her head in surprise. Did Elinor mean to respond or not? Maybe Elinor was too tired and said the wrong thing.
"Why did they charge directly into the battle?" At this time, Barbara screamed all her life to attract everyone's attention to the city. Sure enough, the rushing Marquis soldiers had no intention of resting, nor did they move toward
They came from the city gate and tried to enter the city, but instead they went straight to the rear of the giants to kill them.
"This... what are they going to do?" Unilla also said in surprise, with a face full of disbelief. These people didn't have a way to enter the city, so why did they kill towards the back of the giants?
Once they fall there, even if they really want to support them, they can't do it at all.
"Your Excellency Elinor, what is this?" Viscount Leofric also looked a bit shocked. If all this power is really lost, not to mention how angry the Marquis will be.
The small town of Lubrun will definitely not be able to hold on until the arrival of the second wave of reinforcements from the Marquis.
What did the leading officer think? Why did he lead his subordinates to die? For a moment, Viscount Leofric found it very difficult to accept.
"Lord Viscount, our people from the Marquis will go back to attack the rear of those giants. When the giants retreat to protect their rear, please take the initiative to send troops to chase the giants who come back. In this case, the giants who come back will definitely be defeated."
We don't have the heart to fight, the situation will be of great benefit to us." Elinor said to Viscount Leofric in front of her.
"Are you crazy? There are more than two hundred giants. Even if many of them are attacking the city, the rear must be heavily guarded. Besides, looking at their size and strength, they should be quite terrifying. I estimate that these giants in the front row are
They won’t even come back for help." Unilla said in disbelief.
"If these giants do not return to aid, then naturally the most important thing is to defend the city. But if the giants do return to aid, please ask the Viscount to send troops," Eileen said, looking at Viscount Leofric in front of her.
She did not try to convince the people in front of her of the combat power of the Marquis, but with such a statement, Viscount Leofric would naturally find it difficult to find a suitable reason to refuse.
"Then it will be according to Your Excellency Elinor's wishes," Viscount Leofric readily agreed. Naturally, he did not know how to object. Moreover, he did not believe that there were more than a hundred soldiers from the Marquis.
The cavalry can really allow these giants who are attacking the city to return to the rear to support them.
There were more than two hundred giants, each with terrifying strength. Their individual combat power far exceeded that of humans. That is to say, they relied on the solid city walls to fight with each other. On the flat ground outside,
Every time the opponent jumps and lands, he may trample several of them to death!
…
"The enemy still has reinforcements?"
"It looks like they are soldiers from other lords. They seem to be obviously different from the soldiers in this town," a giant elder calmly analyzed. "They are so fast. They don't seem to be easy to mess with."
"Prevent them from breaking into that town. Once they break in, it will be even harder for us to capture the town!" A giant elder shouted, realizing that this force entering the town and relying on the city wall would make the small town more difficult to capture.
The town's defenses are so strong.
"Haha... don't worry at all. Look at these humans, where are they going? They are coming towards us!" At this time, several giants laughed and said, looking very unbelievable.
.
"Oh my God, are these human soldiers crazy? Who gave them the courage? There is no such thing as their shrinking city walls here, and they are riding some small horses, and they dare to come to us for trouble!" Another giant laughed.
, many giants are preparing for the battle.
They originally thought that if they stepped forward to attack the city, the battle would take a long time before it was their turn, but they never expected that they would get an unexpected appetizer.
"Tell the partners at the front that there is no need to return for reinforcements. We must continue to put more pressure on the small town. It's time for us to practice these cavalrymen," the giant old patriarch said with a smile.
Huge giants gathered together, holding simple stone axes, ready to welcome these incoming human cavalry.
In their eyes, there was no trace of seriousness or nervousness, as if they wanted to kill these humans who tried to provoke them. It was unbelievable. How could more than a hundred cavalry have the courage to come to their rear?
Even during the siege, there were at least nearly two hundred giants in the rear. One-on-one was enough! Besides, one-on-one on flat ground? That was simply seeking death!
Yesterday's battle fully proved that even relying on city walls, only a few humans can deal with giants. Most of them rely on the combined efforts of a few or even dozens of people to deal with an adult giant!
"Light the fire!" Seeing that he was getting closer, a bit of scarlet flashed in Captain Cary's eyes. His fighting spirit suddenly rose, and he shouted loudly. The next moment, crimson fighting spirit accompanied by substantial flames ignited in the air.
On top of the huge silver-plated sword!
boom……
At this moment, as if they had rehearsed it countless times, the entire army of magic swordsmen was burning with blazing fire. They were wearing crimson armor, and the red crystals inlaid on their chests were emitting dazzling light at this time.
.
And everyone's swords were burning with terrifying flames, with fighting spirit mixed in them. The flames were purely terrifying, as if they were enough to burn everything!
this……
"What's this?"
"Is it the rumored magic?" Viscount Leofric on the high wall was still waiting and watching, and even observed a moment of silence in advance. This was a team of real warriors. Unfortunately, under the wrong command of the leader, there was nothing to be done.
Buried meaningfully.
But at this moment, his vision was greatly impacted. It was so terrifying to see the flames burning on the cavalry!
He seemed to think of the magic recorded in historical books. No, that's not right. How could a noble magician take the lead like those warriors?
But, is there a chance for a change? Even the flames may not cause much substantial damage to the giants. They tried to shoot rockets and throw flaming eggs before, but the giants did not panic at all. On the contrary, they were the ones who made these belts.
Flame-burning anti-personnel weapons, causing a huge drop in efficiency!
