Rise In Calradia - Chapter 426: : King's Charge
“We will not fail!”
Facing the lords whose faces were filled with uneasiness, His Majesty the King pressed the hammer on his waist and straightened his body as much as possible to make his old body look taller.
“Take back that wall, then eliminate the invaders and traitors on the other side of the wall, then von Byron should talk to us, he is a mercenary guy, he will definitely compromise. So we will not lose, we will win , as long as we take down that wall!”
The calmness shown by the king and the order-like reason pressed back the hearts of the lords who were about to jump out of their throats. They all bowed to His Majesty the king, and then returned to their troops to direct the next battle.
“We can’t delay any longer…”
Looking at the unoccupied wall and the approaching Byron troops from behind, King Graves took a deep breath, picked up his face helmet, and put on all the armor. This set of armor is just like the king’s identity, with many beautiful gilt textures and an etched and dyed mountain bear pattern. There are many additional decorations on the helmet and armor, all in gilt or solid gold. Especially on the helmet, the craftsmen thinned the steel from the eyes to the bridge of the nose and replaced it with a layer of gold, which is as majestic and inspiring as a pair of golden eyes. This armor is more suitable for ceremonial occasions than battlefields, but it is a solid suit of finely crafted plate armor, and King Graves was in desperate need of inspiration, so he donned this heavy suit with the help of his squires. Armor, and peacock feathers on his helmet, he would wear to climb the wall and inspire all the Rhodoks loyal to him to fight.
This was not the first time that King Graves took to the battlefield in person, nor was it the largest war he had ever participated in. In his youth, he led an army that gathered all the Rhodoks to resist the Swadians’ attack on Gru Fort Enward’s attack, he was not the king that time and almost died in battle. Compared with that war, the current war with Byron is just a flank battlefield in terms of scale, but it is not inferior to that war in terms of importance and danger to him.
“Warriors of the Rhodoks, the plains, the forests, and the coasts! Students of St. Gruenwald! Today we will drive out the invaders! Today we will prove our strength to the northerners again! For Rhodok Gram! For the homeland!”
“For the homeland!”
As the first to rise and shout appeared, more and more soldiers began to join them, and soon they gathered in a wave. It is true that the Rhodoks are always suppressed by the Swadians on the battlefield, but when their homeland is even occupied by the enemy, and the anger of revenge ignites the spirit and boils the blood, they will break out unimaginable strength
Following the footsteps of the king’s guard, the soldiers set up siege ladders and long ladders to rush up the wall. They did not have sophisticated armor and weapons like those elite soldiers. Of course, they couldn’t do as well as the sergeants of the guards when shooting spears. Even though the wall was not very high, people still kept falling from the ladders, especially those heavy stones. The soldiers who were hit were smashed to the ground. But their morale was high and their numbers were high, with thousands of soldiers erecting more than forty ladders here and there on the wall, and the Thrindir troops on the wall were simply unable to cope with them all.
Soon, the king’s army continued to mount the wall, and as Bandak kept retreating the main force for the purpose of preserving strength, the number of king’s troops on the wall began to gradually catch up with Serendil’s troops. Hundreds of soldiers fought together on this narrow wall with similar weapons, while crossbowmen from both sides shot at the enemy troops on the wall at the same time. But no matter how you look at it, Serendil is at a disadvantage.
Seeing the continuous expansion of his own battle results on the wall, King Graves nodded in relief, but when he turned his head to the other side, he saw his own infantry troops in a tense formation near Juma and the approaching The Swadian army, he felt that this was still too slow, so he ignored the obstruction of the people around him, and after a loud roar, he rushed to the nearest siege ladder with a few guards around him.
The lords were dumbfounded. They didn’t expect their king to work so hard to boost morale. But now, it is not appropriate for them not to act, so the five local lords headed by Earl Tubiton rushed forward after ordering their crossbowmen to cover the king.
The lofty kings and lords set an example, proving that they are also brave warriors, not cowards and liars who can only speak. The back of the man beat his broad shield with a military pick and a warhammer. Soon, a more ferocious offensive was launched. This time, except for the troops defending the horse defense line at the rear, all other troops were engaged in the attack on the wall. For a while, even the crowded ladders had to rely on grabbing .
Bandak had already retreated under the wall at this time, and retreated while shooting those dangerous veterans and sergeants with the siege crossbow, while Jamila’s female soldiers also formed another front behind the crossbows, and Jamila stood among them too, in shining breastplate and a tattered cloak that had seen many battles, cheering up her soldiers.
The female soldiers kept shouting~www.mtlnovel.com~ They shot more and more enemies on the wall with their crossbow arrows, and praised the male soldiers in front of them. Whenever the crossbowmen achieved success with their volleys, or the infantry killed the scattered kingdom spearmen who rushed up, the voices of female praise would surround them. It’s a tactic Jamila uses, men always reach their potential better when they’re around the opposite sex. And when these opposite sexes are good-looking and keep cheering for them, the combat effectiveness and morale can be greatly improved.
But even so, they only held the open space behind the wall, and the wall was eventually taken away.
At this time, Fatis finally rushed to Jamila’s side with Amira’s troops. He looked at the wall at this time, where the peony flag and the sea king flag had been torn down, and he was standing on the wall again. An old but majestic warrior looked down on them under the raised mountain bear banner, and beside him were Rhodok’s loyal lords.
“Graves? He’s a little too far forward.”
This idea appeared in the hearts of Fatis and Bandak almost at the same time.
