Chapter 61 Breaking the City
Surrender, of course, is impossible. Richard's troops appeared to be pitifully numerous. Even if the fact that the legendary powerhouse was repulsed is in front of it, people are more willing to believe their eyes. Tens of thousands of defenders still seem to be able to withstand the attack of a few hundred people.
There was a muffled buzz on the walls, and a giant crossbow of the city's defenses opened fire on Richard, the arrows glowing with a magical light that represented tracking. This is the Hulan Warrior's answer.
Richard stood still, and the ogre next to him shouted, and the war hammer swung sideways, smashing the crossbow arrow into the air!
Richard shook his head, the rear defense of the ** Bridge Fortress is really not good, there are only two city defense crossbows in total, and they are still ordinary goods, not to mention compared with alchemy giant crossbows like Discara's Fury, even the average level of Norland's city defense crossbow power range is much stronger than this. However, the cost of urban defense crossbows is expensive, and maintenance is a huge amount of money, and the Hulan Empire has lost the richest southern part and cannot afford a large number of urban defense crossbows.
"Ready...... Attack!" Richard's hand pointed forward!
The first wave of Constructed Knights approached a distance of 100 meters from the city gates. During the march, the Constructed Knights were constantly shining with magic and magic, and by the time they reached the combat position, they had already had a lot of bonuses that were almost extravagant.
The knights in costume still drew their throwing spears and shouted in a deep voice, and the thirty throwing spears turned into a torrent of light, rushing straight to the gate of the fortress!
The shadow of death instantly enveloped the hearts of every warrior on the city tower, and the brilliant light shining on the flying spears was no different from the smile of death in their eyes!
Many of the fighters opened their eyes in horror and their mouths opened wider and wider. In their pupils, the spears were rapidly expanding, and fear had taken hold of their hearts so completely that they could not breathe, could not shout, and could not even move to dodge! It was not that they did not want to scream, but that the disaster had come so quickly and suddenly that it was too late to scream.
With an earth-shattering roar, half of the small city tower flew into the sky, the two fortress doors were torn apart, and the fragments flew as far as tens of meters away, knocking down a house! In the roar and flames, many warriors could be seen flying into the sky. Under a blow of this magnitude, the Huran warriors seemed so small and helpless.
Richard pulled out the savage **, the blade pointed forward! This is the signal of the general attack!
The aftermath of the explosion and the smoke had passed, and the entire gatehouse of the fortress had been reduced to rubble. Under Richard's orders, the Knights of the Dark Blade rolled forward, crossed the Constructed Knights in front of them, and rushed into the gap! Dozens of Knights of the Dark Blade on each side dismounted directly, rushed up the city wall, and began to clear the defenders on the wall. The Constructed Knights of the Brigade formed a torrent of steel and rushed into the fortress. It wasn't until they went deeper than 100 meters that they collided with the defenders who came in a hurry!
Richard carried the savagery** and walked on foot on the flanks of the group. His movements were very soothing, not at all in a hurry, but he was able to keep up with the charge of the Constructed Knight. In this team, Richard is not conspicuous at the moment, but he is the one who really decides the outcome of the battle. The red dragon Carlo had already passed the time of the summoning and returned to his lair. Lina, on the other hand, was on her horse, and instead of participating in the battle, she drank a potion of powerful mana to wait for her to recover to a level where she could summon Carlo again. Somehow, her eyes fell on Richard.
At this moment, Richard looked like an ordinary warrior, but without armor. Beside the knights who moved like steel fortresses, it looked quite unusual. A Hulan warrior rushed at Richard, a murderous-faced, experienced veteran who knew how to pick and choose easy enemies.
And Richard didn't change his route at all, just slowed down his pace, and let go of the sword that the Hulan warrior thought he would kill, and then he stabbed at random, and the savage ** pierced the heart of the Hulan warrior.
It wasn't long before another Hulan young warrior burst out of the alley in ambush, visibly frightened, screaming frantically, waving his steel knife indiscriminately as he charged. But when he was about to take a fancy to Richard, his movements suddenly stopped, and then he slowly fell. It turned out that Richard had slit his throat at some point.
The followers all approached Richard at first, consciously or unconsciously, and kept some attention on him. Richard is the leader, their core and spiritual pillar, although everyone knows that Richard has spent the past year in the Peerless Battlefield, but after all, they think that Richard is still a magician, and he has not yet reached the level of an archmage. Hierarchy is the last word in most cases.
Richard, however, strode forward, following the Constructed Knight. He looked like he was guarding the Stormtroopers' flanks, and he did.
Enemies kept approaching Richard, but the followers saw the savage** constantly rising, impaling the heart, slitting the throat, or stabbing into some other vital part. The savagery ** was like a phantom at the moment, fluttering in Richard's hands, not engaging the enemy's weapons at all, just piercing directly into the fatal point, and ending the battle.
After walking for a long time, seven or eight Hulan warriors had fallen under Richard's sword, and Richard had never stabbed a second time on a single person.
Only then did the followers realize that Richard's knife was incredibly fast, extremely simple and practical, and never dragged into the water. Richard's movements were soothing, only at the moment of the knife he slashed, and he was sure to hit with one blow.
This is the true art of killing, with the sole purpose of harvesting life, without any hesitation or compromise between life and death. After looking at it for a long time, the followers suddenly felt a chill rising up, and there was an indescribable cold sensation running down the spine and up to the back of the head. It was never pleasant to be against someone like Richard, like fighting a white night. As long as he can move, as long as he still has a knife in his hand, he can deliver a fatal blow at any time.
It was only then that they saw the change in Richard. This feeling, this way of killing, is a style that can only be found in a killing battlefield. But why isn't Richard the Grand Magus yet?
Richard was paying attention to multiple places at the moment, and in his mind, the warriors who were rushing towards him were full of flaws, and they did not pose any threat at all. Don't they know that shouting is not possible to increase their combat effectiveness at all? At least the strong men of Daxodas will not be frightened by loud voices. For this kind of enemy, Richard can cook with a knife, and he doesn't need to think about it at all.
Richard's attention was elsewhere, he kept an eye on the movements of his troops, and gave orders to mobilize his followers and knights. Under his command, any organized resistance of the Hulan was crushed by the light yƬ. It was only then that the Hulands discovered that Richard's knights were few, but when they were condensed, they were as sharp as a table knife. And the large number of Huland people are like large pieces of cheese, and no matter how heavy the cheese is, it cannot withstand the random cutting of a dinner knife.
Richard was waiting, waiting for the strongest of the Hulans to appear. The Knights were advancing so fast that Richard believed that the Sanctuary of the Hulans would never be able to resist appearing.
He didn't have to wait long for a Hulan Sanctuary to finally appear. He didn't attack the Construct Knights, who were in full swing, but the elite Darkblade Knights who were fighting on the walls. Obviously, he wanted to intercept Richard's back path, or he just wanted to find a safe way to join the fight. The Constructed Knights are too fierce, all of them are full of fighting spirit, just look at the number, there are few Constructed Knights in the Holy Realm alone who dare to stop the crowds of charging Constructed Knights.
However, it was an even bigger mistake for this Hulan Sanctuary to choose the Knight of the Darkblade. This is a tall tribal woman, with a more pretty appearance than ordinary tribal women, but her hands-on style is more fierce and direct than the other tribesmen. Her weapon was a three-edged spear made entirely of steel, with serrated edges. Like a predatory she-bear, she emerged from the darkness and pierced through one of the Darkblade Knight who rushed to the front with a single shot!
A faint sneer appeared on Richard's lips, who was attacking forward in the fortress, and he said softly in his heart: "I caught you." ā
Immediately, the order was sent down to the thirty-seven Knights of the Darkblade who were still alive on that section of the city wall. The Hulan Clan's Sacred Domain powerhouse felt a pang in her heart, and the movements in her hand actually slowed down, because she found that all the Darkblade Knights in front of her had left their respective opponents, and all their eyes were focused on her! In an instant, she was stared at by dozens of expressionless cold eyes, even if she was already a Sacred Domain powerhouse, she couldn't help but tremble slightly.
With a snap, the Knight of the Dark Blade, whose chest was pierced, suddenly turned his hands and clenched the spear pierced through his chest. The Darkblade Knight's hands were so powerful that they didn't resemble a mortal who had been seriously injured and dying. The Hulan Sanctuary was shocked and provoked the spear, and the dark-edged knight was lifted into the air, but the knight didn't do anything, just grabbed her spear!
The rest of the Darkblade Knights are already around!
In the night, the roar of the Sacred Realm powerhouse was constantly resounding, and soon her roar was mixed with screams of pain, then fear, and finally screams.
"Goodbye. Richard said silently in his heart, as if he was saying goodbye to her. This is a habit that he does not know, in his consciousness to greet each opponent and say goodbye after killing the other. It was a habit he had developed in the Peerless Battlefield, and if it weren't, Richard feared that he would get lost in the seemingly endless wait and killing.
A dazzling light suddenly lit up on the city walls, and swept several elite Darkblade Knights around them. That was her last brilliance, a trick at the cost of her life, to drag a few more opponents to the funeral.
