1027

Looking at the distant towns mixed in between the islands, Ferrantir and Hanigan stopped their horses, and their eyes almost began to light up,

"The capital of the Black Forest, Emuto, the legendary and mysterious city"

Ferrantil's pupils constricted unnaturally, and the five fingers of his right hand holding the whip were clenched, slightly pale from too much force, and a look of excitement on his face that could not be concealed

The island in front of you has the best water source in this desert, the most concentrated forest area, and the huge island is like a huge emerald carpet extending into the distance.

Dense lakes of all sizes are next to each other, a river that runs through here glows with a pearlescent sheen in the sun, and waterfowl wander through the woods and lakes from time to time.

"What a surprise!" Next to him, the Sky Sect Leader Hanigan also puffed out his Tongling-like eyes, greedily looking at the beautiful city in the distance.

"My devout disciples" he subconsciously licked his somewhat dry lips with the tip of his yellowed tongue, raised his horsewhip, and shouted to the thousands of pious and crazy sky cultists in front of him, "Emuto is the Pure Land of the Sky Sect given to us by the God of the Sky, only the purest people can have it, but unfortunately, now this Pure Land is being ravaged by a weed called the Sukh tribe, what should we do?" "Kill all the Sukh tribes!

Tens of thousands of fanatical Sky Cultists raised their simple spears in their hands one after another, and the sound of a mountain and sea was like a muffled thunder rolling in the air, in this case, who would say that Emuto was originally the base camp of the Sukh clan,

Hearing Hanigan compare the naked slaughter to clearing weeds, a hint of displeasure flashed across Ferrantil's face, "Stupid fellow!" Ferrantir's gaze glanced nonchalantly in other directions. In fact, he scolded secretly in his heart,

The self-righteous performance of the idiot god stick is so disgusting, I really don't know why there are so many people, I believe that this guy who is full of killing is some kind of messenger of God?

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" said Ferrantil's table. Hanes also pretended to have an invisible expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched disdainfully, why did he send troops to Emuto this time, everyone tacitly knew it, it was originally a relationship of mutual use, in addition to obtaining Ebonyto's sufficient stockpiles, Hanigan also had his own ideas.

He has always wanted to find a place that is mysterious and sacred enough to make people feel mysterious and sacred as his base camp for his mission, Risalan is too small, and although the Sky Temple has suffered heavy damage, there is still a place in the hearts of most Salander people, if he can't jump out of such a range, the Sky Sect will always be able to follow behind the temple as a junior brother, which is why he is willing to send disciples to be cannon fodder, and also to fight Emuto with several other forces

The melodious sound of the military horn came from the city of Emuto in the distance. A group of about 3,000 people with plover-cloaked light cavalry drove out of the city, it was the three thousand chasseurs of the Sukh tribe, and these chasers were dressed in delicate and light chain mail. Holding a hunting bow for short-distance assault in his hand, accompanied by a sharp hunter's long knife at his waist, the quiver behind each shooter is full of arrow clusters, and it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 10, which is enough to launch three or four arrow rain covers.

It may be that they have given up the harassment tactics, or they find that there is no point in harassing them, and the chaser archers who are used to rushing like the wind are now extremely rare to line up like a battle.

Their expressions were grim. His eyes were blazing as he looked at the large number of enemies that kept appearing from the dust belt in the distance, like a group of wounded beasts, looking angrily at the robbers who had invaded their homes, their bloodshot pupils were congested...,

20,000 to 3,000, an absolute disparity in strength, but they have no way back. Further back, there is the base camp of Umuto, where their relatives are haunted...... It's a home they can't afford to lose!

"The whole army is lined up, scoop down the ebony!"

Seeing that Hanis had begun to encourage his disciples to form an array to press up, Ferrantir had also begun to reorganize his troops in the back,

The frontal crushing tactics adopted by the coalition forces proved to be very effective, regardless of the harassment of the chasers, advancing towards the predetermined goal, and sure enough, the chasseurs, who had always been famous for their speed, were like being trapped by an invisible rope, and as the distance decreased, they eventually lost the range of maneuver

He rode his horse sideways in front of the soldiers who had just crossed the sandstorm area like lightning, because it was a heavy infantry, so his infantry walked the slowest, and the sword made of gold in his hand was held high above his head like a battle flag, and the sun shone on it, shining with dazzling golden light, which also attracted everyone's attention,

The rumbling battle horn woke up the soldiers who were still in shock, "Everyone is back and ready to attack!" Salander's infantry captains drove away the scattered soldiers with angry expressions,

The sand poured into the inner layer of the armor, and the creaking was very uncomfortable on the human body, some Mamunuk knights even unfastened their armor, and some wolves were cleaning the sand from their bodies, if there was really the fastest concentration, it was the religious fanatical Sky cultists, their wide robes were almost immune to the invasion of wind and sand. Coupled with the fact that the cultists had already been stirred up, these little sands could no longer constitute any reason to stop them, and they completely ignored the 3,000 chasseurs who were in formation on the opposite side, and rushed towards the wooden fence on the periphery of Ebony like a tsunami landslide

"Raise your bow!"

On the city wall, the terrifying poison arrows of the Sukh hunters were also raised at the same time, and with the vibration of a tight bowstring, the first round of arrows was fired at the frantically attacked Sky Cultists, and countless streams of metal light fell from the sky like a waterfall, and the raindrops hit the simple and practical wooden rattan shield of the Sky Cultists,

"Poof!poof!poof!" The dull sound came from the sound of arrows being stuck in a shield, a simple shield invented by the Salander mountain people, woven from rattan in the mountains, soaked in oil for a month, and then dried, and the rattan became light and strong enough to defend against the average light bow and arrow

This is the most commonly used equipment of the Salander light assault infantry, because the number is limited, only the 1,000 disciples who rushed to the front have rattan shields, which leads many disciples behind them. They were shot by the arrows and rolled to the ground, their faces turned red, and then quickly turned from red to black, and their mouths let out a series of terrible screams. This time, instead of foaming at the mouth, black blood flowed from the mouth, nose and ears, and at first glance it was an extremely terrible poisoned arrow

"Forward, take back the Holy Land!"

The Sky cultists had bloodshot eyes and hypnotic sounds coming out of their mouths, completely oblivious to the clusters of arrows flying overhead. Covered by a row of rudimentary rattan shields at the front, they charged forward like a swarm of locusts, and the dense flow of people quickly rushed through an open field outside the island, and began to climb the low wooden fence of a watchtower on the outskirts of Ebonyto.

"Shoot! They must not be allowed to cross the perimeter"

Su Yannis, the Great Elder of the Sukh Clan, who was standing on the wall of the ebony wall, looked at the Sky Cultists who were storming the wooden fence on the periphery with a solemn expression, because the height of the wooden fence was only less than three people high, and the impatient Sky Cultists didn't even need to build climbing tools, so they jumped on the shoulders of their companions and jumped suddenly. The hand can grasp the edge of the fence and move upwards,...,

The Sukh guards above slashed down with a meter-long hunting knife. "Ah" A miserable scream, the Sky Cultist fell down in severe pain, leaving half a palm or a few fingers wriggling on the wooden fence, "killing" the Sky Cultists surging behind him, hitting the wooden fence like a tumbling wave,

The tragic siege battle broke out like a prairie fire,

The Sukh clan had limited troops, and could only rely on the archers on the city walls to continuously suppress the frantic charges of the Sky Cultists, and as the arrows rained down, the Sky Cultists also fell in pieces. However, due to the disparity in strength, the wooden fence of the first row of defense lines finally toppled down by the combined efforts of the many Sky Cultists, revealing the ebony city wall behind it

"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements you promised!" Lark Suke returned to the city wall from the front line in a fit of rage, and she took off her helmet with one hand. Revealing the dazzling red hair, she glared at the woman in the purple dress standing next to Suyanis,

"What, such a small battle is afraid?"

Sokutus Delan's pretty face was slightly cold, and she looked at the embarrassed lark Suk without flinching, and said with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, "Don't forget, dragging the enemy under the city of Emuto is part of the plan, if you don't even have the slightest endurance like this, then you will disappoint me too much, it turns out that the lark of the Black Forest is just a little girl who will cry when she hurts!"

"You bastard, we have already lost three hundred warriors of the Sukh clan, what price do you want us to pay to stop" Bailing Suke said with an annoyed expression, her beautiful big eyes were full of tears, and her tone was full of tears, although she was also considered to have been in battle for a long time, but it was a confrontation of about a thousand people, and losing three hundred elites of the clan like this would definitely be painful for the Suke clan with a total strength of only three thousand people

"Don't worry, I believe the Falcon is already on their way to help!" said Sokutus Delan as she looked at the tear-stained Lark Suke and pointed to the horizon in the distance

"According to the enemy's original plan, the four-way army should have surrounded Emuto on both sides, but until now, have you seen the enemy on the other side? If I guess correctly, the Falcon army has already routed them and is coming here, as long as we hold on, the army will launch a deadly assault on the enemy from the flank!"

"Well, even if what you say is true, but do you dare to guarantee that the army in your mouth will arrive before we break the city?Or is this just a trap to trick us into helping your Falcon Empire weaken the dissidents?"

"I can't guarantee it!" Sokutus Delan shook his head with a resolute expression, and said, "But I won't choose to be cowardly, even if the city is broken, I will die, in this situation, we must all go all out, don't forget, it is we who are helping you, not you helping us! Life and death, you must rely on yourself, pin your hope on others, don't you feel ashamed!"

"That's enough, Bailing! As a commander, your duty is to fight! You should be at the forefront of your position now, not to come here and roar, remember when I told you, whether there is anyone to help you or not, the future of the Sukh must first rely on yourself," said the Great Elder of the Sukh clan, Suyanis, in a loud voice

"Okay, I'll go back to command, but if the reinforcements don't come for a long time, I can't guarantee that I will be able to hold out for a long time!" Bai Lingsuke's white face turned red. Pouted and turned away with some embarrassment,

"Sorry to make you see the joke!" Suyanis said apologetically, turning to Sokutus Deran, "after all. After all, Bai Ling is still a 18-year-old child, and there is still a distance from the real patriarch, you may not know that Bai Ling's father, the previous leader of the Sukh clan, was arrested by the royal family of Salander because of the betrayal of a traitor on an outing. In the end, he was hanged on the gate of Sarander Kyoto, and his father's tragic death made Bailing develop a suspicious problem since he was a child, and this time he may be too excited, so he will be so silent!"...,

"It's nothing, her suspicions are not wrong, in this kind of great battle that stakes the fate of the whole clan, proper care and suspicion are necessary" Sokutus Delan sneered at the corners of his mouth with a strange expression, a very stubborn lark. Just like you were at the beginning!"

At noon, after more than 2 hours of fierce fighting, the Sky Cultists' offensive was still continuing. They left layers upon layers of corpses under the city, and although the rear continued to send teams of Cultist spearmen up, they were unable to make effective progress under the fire of the Sukh hunters

The fanatical religious believers were like being beaten in the head, they were not professional soldiers after all, and with the ineffectiveness of the attack and the prolongation of time, the body and mind had begun to be exhausted,

The towering wall in front of me was like a giant meat grinder, turning one companion after another into corpses full of arrows. There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and the flesh and blood under his feet were blurred, and the blood flowed into a small river, and the enemy offensive seemed to have begun to weaken, and the first to be keenly aware of this was Bai Ling Suke who was on the front line,

"Someone. Immediately ordered all the chasers of the guards to assemble "At the gate of Emuto, Bailing Suke, who had just come down from the city wall, began to untie the reins of his white Jinghama,

"Young patriarch, you are ......" The city gate defense officer was startled, the personal guard chasers are the guards of Bailing Suke, the number is only a hundred, but they are the most brave warriors in the clan,

"Execute the order!" Bai Lingsuke turned his head, the red-eyed defender was furious, and the murderous aura revealed in his words made people have no doubt that the red-haired girl in front of him would slash the person who refused to carry out the order

"Yes, yes, subordinates are going!" The city gate defense officer secretly wiped the cold sweat on his head, and replied repeatedly, and soon, at the gate of Emuto, a hundred guards and falcon cavalry lined up,

"The enemy has lost its sharpness, and it is the best time for us to attack!" Bai Lingsuke raised his head while tying his long red hair with a black rope, and drank the full bowl of spirits on the table next to him, only to feel a hot current flowing down the throat into the stomach, and suddenly his whole body was hot, and he boldly lit up the bottom of the bowl.

"The young patriarch just commands" a whole hundred people said in unison, the voice vibrated at the city gate, and the slightly drunk Bailing Suke slowly walked into the queue with a proud expression,

She looked at everyone one by one, and saw the faces full of vitality and youthful vitality in front of her, the passionate eyes, the war horses were handsome, the sabers were bright, the air was full of fiery passion and murderous aura, everyone's eyes flashed with the fighting spirit of generosity to die, and the soldiers were ready to give the invaders a fatal blow.

"Okay, worthy of being the warrior of my Sukh tribe!

Bai Lingsuke ordered loudly, the captains of the various guard teams came out one after another, lifted the prepared wine urn and poured the spirits for the team members, the guards drank the wine in the sea bowl in one go, and smashed the wine bowl hard, hundreds of people drank at the same time, only to hear the crisp crackling sound non-stop, and the guards smashed the wine bowl one after another.

"Open the city gates!" Bai Lingsuke waved his hand to the city gate guard, "All the troops are on their horses and attack!"

"Rush up!" In the position near the city gate, the heavy infantry that had just been sent up was still gathered under the siege ladder in a straggler line, the wall of Ebony Tuo was not high, but because it was cleverly built, behind the wooden fence on the periphery, was a small protruding hill, which was the commanding height of this island,

The prisoners who were exiled here at the beginning, in order to resist the royal army that might come to encircle and suppress at any time, relied on this hilly terrain to build the original Emuto Fort.

After a hundred years of expansion, it has developed into a ring-like incremental fortification, but the Black Forest is full of barren land and lacks solid stone, so the entire city of Emuto is completely a huge wooden fortress that surrounds the top of the hill, and the walls of each layer are not high.

Seeing that the city gate suddenly opened, the heavy infantry could not believe their good luck, and then the long-awaited drawbridge fell heavily, and an infantry detachment shouted to rush in to be the first "glorious troops" to enter the city, and was knocked to the ground by the cavalry who rushed out of the city.

"Kill"

The head of the lark was decorated with a streamer, and the sharp hunting knife in his hand quickly cut off the head of a heavy infantryman, and bright red blood spurted out of the headless chest, reflecting a bewitching light in the sun.
