Bloodline Lord of War - Chapter 124

  Chapter 124 Sending troops at the same time

  Baron turned his head and saw several soldiers fell to the ground after being shot by arrows. He suddenly turned pale with fright, and felt extremely surprised in his heart: from such a long distance, Pointy Ears actually shot over!

   “Phew!”

  Suddenly, a sharp piercing sound flew past Baron’s ears, and immediately after, the adjutant next to him fell straight onto the city wall.

  Balon was taken aback, looked down, and saw that the adjutant had been shot in the head and was already dead.

  The adjutant’s eyes were wide open, and the expression of fear was permanently fixed on his face.

  Looking at the pale face of the adjutant, Baron felt his hands and feet were cold, and his back was sweating intermittently. If the arrow just missed by a few centimeters, he might be the one who died.

  Balon immediately crouched down and hid his body behind the city wall. He had learned how abnormal the half-elf’s archery skills were before, and he almost pointed at where to shoot. At this time, another rain of arrows flew over, and there was another scream on the city wall.

  The defenders of Wind Castle were the same as Baron. They never thought that the half-elf would shoot arrows from such a long distance. They were caught off guard, and many soldiers who were shot by the arrows did not react until they died.

  Many Windcastle archers were furious and wanted to fight back, but the arrows they shot couldn’t reach the Raging Wave Legion at all, and fell sporadically on the grass in front of the iron guard shield wall.

  The distance between the walls of the Wind Castle and the Raging Wave Legion has already exceeded the limit of ordinary human archers. The fighting spirit knights can shoot farther, but that requires instilling fighting spirit into the bow and arrow, which is obviously impossible for ordinary soldiers.

   “Hidden! Don’t shoot at them, take cover!” Baron hid behind the city wall, shouting anxiously.

  Then, Baron carefully poked his head out from the city wall, and looked at the Raging Wave Legion in the distance. He soon discovered that only nineteen of the half-elves on the opposite side were shooting arrows, and the rest were standing guard.

  Baron thought for a while, and he immediately understood that obviously not every half-elf archer can shoot at ultra-long range. He immediately ordered loudly: “Everyone is not allowed to show their heads, the archery with pointed ears is very poisonous!”

  Raging Waves Legion, taking advantage of the gap between the half-elves shooting arrows, Robin opened the eyes of blood with great interest, and observed the half-elves who were shooting arrows. He discovered that every time the half-elf shoots an arrow, a ray of blood mist will be injected into the arrow, and it is this ray of blood mist that allows them to shoot farther.

   Soon, there was no one to be seen on the city wall. All the defenders of the Wind Castle hid behind the city wall. The half-elves couldn’t find their target and stopped shooting arrows one after another.

   This highlights the great role of the city wall. If it is on the plain, only half-elf long-range archery and kite flying can shoot down the enemy’s army alive.

   Seeing the defenders of Wind Castle huddled behind the city wall, Robin ordered: “Go ahead!”

  The iron guards raised their square shields one after another, and the whole team continued to move closer to the Wind Castle.

When the Raging Waves Legion came within the range of the archers of Windcastle, Robin saw heads popping out of the walls of Windcastle. Hundreds of Archers of Windcastle bent their bows together, and the rain of arrows immediately fell from the wall of Windcastle. Come, shoot at the Legion of Raging Waves.

  The iron guards marched forward with their square shields in hand, and the arrows hit their square shields crackling like raindrops.

  The half-elf hid behind the iron guard, advancing and counterattacking the Wind Castle. However, the defenders of Wind Castle had the city wall as cover, and the half-elves were not only outnumbered by the opponent, but also shot from low to high, and the combat conditions were very unfavorable. So as soon as the two sides fought, the half-elf, who had always had extraordinary archery skills, was suppressed by the archers of Wind Castle.

   A scream rang in his ears, Robin turned his head and saw a half-elf fell to the ground with an arrow.

  Although the half-elves were trying their best to stick their bodies behind the iron guards, the defenders of the Windcastle were shooting from a height. The iron guards and the square shields in their hands could not completely cover the half-elves, and they still had the risk of being hit by arrows.

  However, fortunately, the half-elf was only shot in the shoulder, and his life was not in danger yet.

Robin hurriedly pulled the half-elf up. The other was also a man. After saying “Thank you, sir” to Robin, he pulled out the arrow from his shoulder. Sweat, but gritted his teeth and didn’t make a sound.

   Then, he took out a small bottle of moon water from his arms, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he continued to draw the bow to fight, and shot the arrow of vengeance at Windcastle.

  The team walked a few steps forward, and another half-elf fell to the ground with an arrow. Fortunately, he was not fatally injured. Like his companion just now, he pulled out the arrow, drank the moon water, and continued to fight.

  Robin appreciates the courage and perseverance of these half-elf warriors, but as a commander, he must make rational judgments.

  If the team continues to advance against the rain of arrows from the Wind Castle, they should be able to bite the bullet and rush to the bottom of the city gate. But as a price, these half-elves under him may lose more than half. Similarly, the Iron Guard will definitely suffer casualties.

  The awakened people under Robin are all his treasures. Even if he traded one elf warrior for ten wind castle defenders, he would feel a huge loss.

  Suddenly, Robin saw dozens of black earthen pots flying down from the wall of the Wind Castle again. These crockpots flew towards our own camp, some of them hit the grass, some hit the iron guard’s square shield, and immediately fell to pieces, smashing into pieces, the light yellow liquid in the crockpot It was immediately spilled, and part of it was poured on the iron guard’s square shield.

  As soon as Robin smelled the liquid, he immediately realized: “It’s kerosene, the other side is going to launch a fire attack!”

   Sure enough, on the wall of Wind Castle, fifty archers raised their burning rockets. Their target was obviously the iron guard’s square shield that had been splashed with kerosene.

  Once these square shields are lost, the iron guards and half-elves will be completely exposed to the killing range of the enemy archers. At that time, they can only rely on their armor to resist, and the casualties will inevitably be greater.

   “Shhhhhh—”

  The archers of the Wind Castle released rockets. Their archery skills were mediocre. Some rockets hit the ground, and some rockets shot over the head and flew over the heads of the iron guards. But relying on the advantage of numbers, some rockets still hit Fang Dun, and Fang Dun in the hands of more than a dozen iron guards immediately burst into flames.

  Seeing this, Robin thought for a while and immediately ordered: “Stop advancing! Retreat!”

  As soon as he heard that he was going to retreat, Simon on the side immediately shouted unwillingly: “Boss, why do you want to retreat, let me lead the brothers to charge, and I promise to capture the city gate!”

Robin kicked him speechlessly, and cursed loudly: “I know you can capture the city gate, but what about the casualties? Use your brains in the battle, I only have this little soldier under my command. If all of them die, I will take the city.” What’s the use of the door? Your life is more important than the Wind Castle, do you understand?”

  Although the **** was kicked by the leader, it hurt, but hearing what the leader said, Simon felt very happy in his heart, and shouted and replied: “I understand.”

   “As long as you talk nonsense, carry out the order.” Robin said.

  Simon straightened his neck and shouted: “Yes!”

  Robin’s attack this time was just a trial. Siege battles are always difficult, not to mention that he doesn’t have an advantage in troops. From the very beginning, he didn’t think he could take down the Wind Castle all at once.

  Under his command, the iron guards immediately changed their formation. The iron guards who had lost their shields retreated to the back line, and the iron guards with shields gathered together in a row, and then the whole team began to retreat quickly.

   On the wall of Windcastle, Baron saw Robin retreating with his troops. He was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly ordered the archers: “Keep shooting!”

  At this time, an officer ran over and asked excitedly, “My lord, the enemy has withdrawn. Do you want me to send people out of the city to pursue them?”

  Baron was quite happy. Hearing this, his face immediately darkened. He slapped the officer’s iron helmet with a slap, and scolded with his eyes wide open:

“Pursue? Do you have the ability to pursue? We rely on the city wall to repel Robin’s army. If we go out of the city, we are going to die. Still chasing? I think you are impatient to live. If you pass the order, the city gate will be closed. Don’t leave the city!”

  The officer was scolded in disgrace, and said dejectedly, “Yes, my lord.”

  Robin led the troops back into the temporary camp, ordered the treatment of the wounded, and the others rested and stood by.

  Simon ran over erratically. He took off his helmet. His big rough face was full of useless expressions, and he cursed depressedly: “The fight was so terrible that I didn’t even touch the enemy’s city wall.”

  The half-elf Luke was much calmer. He also walked up to Robin and asked, “Master Baron, what should we do next?”

  Robin looked up at the sky. At this time, the sun in the west had completely set, and the light was dimming little by little. It seemed that the sky was going to be dark.

   “Wait,” Robin said.

   Luke didn’t understand at once: “My lord, what are you waiting for?”

  Robin smiled: “Wait until it gets dark.”

  Luke was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: “I see, my lord.”

  A master and a servant, both of them showed tacit smiles.

  …

  【Rose Castle】

In a magnificent bedroom, a ball of white light suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the center of the room. The paper on it was blown all over the sky.

   After a breath, the light gradually disappeared, and Glenn Knight, covered in scars, appeared on the floor of the room.

  He looked painful and tried to struggle on the ground a few times, but he couldn’t get up at all, and his body was like mud, unable to move. He could only shout weakly: “Come… come…”

After a while, it seemed that his voice was finally heard, or that the strong light and strong wind just now startled others. With a “creak”, the door of the bedroom was slowly opened, and the two maids stood there in panic. At the door of the room, he poked his head and looked carefully into the room.

  When they saw Glenn lying on the ground, the two maids were shocked and rushed forward to help Glenn up.

   “My lord, are you alright?” One of the maids asked worriedly.

   “What the hell… do I seem to be okay?” Glenn glared at the other party viciously.

   Then, he grabbed the maid’s white arm with a **** hand, with a frightening expression, and said in a serious tone: “Go and tell Master Vaughn, just say, the Wind Castle is about to fail…”

  The maid looked down at the blood on her arm, panicked and froze for a moment.

  Glenn was furious immediately, and shouted with staring eyes: “Go, otherwise, you will die!”

  The maid’s face turned pale with fright, she replied weakly “Yes, sir”, and hurried out of the room. There was only one maid left, who helped Glenn onto the bed with difficulty.

   After a long time, the maid finally brought Vaughan back.

  As soon as Vaughan entered the room, he saw Glenn weakly lying on the bed. He couldn’t help but change his face, and asked in surprise, “Glenn, why are you hurt so badly! Who beat you like this?”

  Glenn showed a miserable smile: “It’s Robin, sorry, Master Vaughn, I lost to him.”

   “You lost?!” Vaughn was very surprised. He had never seen Glenn lose before, and the loser was a small pioneering lord.

  He walked quickly to Glenn’s bedside, and asked nervously, “You said the wind castle can’t be defended, what’s going on?”

Glenn said with a look of despair: “Master, trust my judgment, Robin, that man is not simple, and the thousand soldiers brought by Baron and I will definitely not be able to defend the wind castle. You have to do it.” Decide whether to have Windcastle or not.”

  Vaughn couldn’t believe that these words came out of Glenn’s mouth. He had known Glenn for so long, and his impression was that Glenn had always been a person who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, even a little arrogant. For the first time, Vaughn heard fear from his mouth.

  Vaughn was terrified: Robin, what is this man capable of scaring Glenn!

  …

   A few hours later, Silver Frost City.

  Duke Augustus was sitting alone in the spacious dining room, enjoying dinner. There is also a book next to his dinner plate. While eating dinner, he turns the pages of the book from time to time, concentrating on it.

  Suddenly, the door of the dining room was pushed open forcefully, and Knight Helen walked in hurriedly, with a tense expression on her face, as if something was urgent.

  Augus raised his head and saw Helen with a kind smile on his face: “It’s Helen, do you want to sit down and eat together?”

  But Helen was obviously not in the mood for dinner. She was wearing armor, with a sword hanging around her waist, and she was full of murderous aura, as if she was ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

  She walked up to Augustus and said, “Your Excellency, please forgive me for being rude and interrupting your meal. I have something important to report.”

  Augus frowned, and his expression became serious: “What’s the matter?”

  Helen said: “I just got a report that Vaughan from the Golden Rose family led a thousand cavalry into the wasteland. I suspect that he is going to support Wind Castle. Something may have happened to Wind Castle.”

  Augus’ reaction was quick: “You mean, Robin is going to take the Wind Castle? But with his little force, how is this possible?”

Helen’s expression was very serious: “Robin is a person who can turn the impossible into possible. My lord, the Wind Castle is about to fall, so Vaughan hurried into the wasteland. It’s not impossible. I think we should support Robin. Bing.”

  Augus picked up the white napkin on the table, slowly wiped his mouth, and thought for a while.

   Right now, Robin is still useful to him. Augustus just wanted to teach the disobedient Robin a lesson, but he didn’t want Robin to die. If that kid Vaughan came to kill Robin first, then the Xueying family would be in a big loss. There would be no other family in the wasteland for an ally like Robin who could carry and fight.

  Besides, Augustus thought that Robin’s troops were too small, and it was a blessing to be able to defend Rage City, and it was impossible to take down the wind castle. This was one of the reasons why he decided to negotiate peace with Golden Rose.

  However, if Robin really has a chance to win the Wind Castle, then Augustus must help him.

So, Augustus made a decision, and with a calm expression, he said to Helen: “Since the golden rose is unruly, there is no need for us to bind our hands and feet. Helen, you also lead troops into the wilderness, bring two thousand cavalry, and keep an eye on them.” Vaughn, he doesn’t move, and you don’t move either. If he does something wrong, don’t be afraid, just do it! Anyway, it was the agreement they violated first, and we have already stood on the moral high ground.”

   Seeing that the Duke was willing to help Robin, Helen was overjoyed and immediately replied: “Yes! Your Excellency the Duke.”
