198 – Siege and Defense of Lasseu Castle (3)
As the flag flew high in the sky, we momentarily forgot that we were in the middle of a siege and cheered.
“f*ck, I finally ate the watchtower!”
Some soldiers had tears in their eyes even though they hadn’t even finished eating yet.
“We came this far, ok.”
It’s a bit funny that things are going on like this when the war isn’t even over…
A siege is a kind of land-grabbing war, and the wider the space you occupy in the enemy’s castle, the more advantageous you become.
Until you climb the castle wall, your allies have no choice but to suffer a one-sided attack, but once you climb the castle wall, you gain the strength to reduce the number of enemies.
Once you occupy part of the castle wall, you will have a base where you can reliably receive reinforcements from the rear. If you acquire a watchtower, not only will it become a more solid base, but you can also reduce the enemy’s morale, so you can expect a butterfly effect.
‘Thanks to that, the reward money will skyrocket like crazy, right?’
When we were so happy, the allies under the walls and around the castle also cheered.
“The watchtower has been captured! Hurray!”
“If we continue like this, we can win!”
“Long live the Empire of Montmartre!”
Along with shouts, loud trumpet sounds rang out from beneath the castle walls.
At the same time, a ladder was hung on this watchtower, which had now become a safe zone for our troops in this castle, and many of our soldiers began to climb up here.
“I will kill every single one of those Barcelo bastards!”
It looked very majestic as the watchtower was lined with ladders and soldiers clinging to it like a swarm of ants climbing the wall.
‘It’s like the huge herd of animals you see on TV.’
It feels very reassuring to think that they are all allies.
On the other hand, the enemy army, who heard our good news, was anxious to somehow regain the watchtower.
Knights and mercenary captains came up to the walls and began to scold the soldiers.
“f*ck, take back that watchtower somehow!!! “Take it back!”
The impatient guys overtook their subordinates and stepped forward directly.
“What a piece of sh*t! Move! “I will kill everyone who thinks I am a white beard or a bundle of white fur!”
If the battle continues with the watchtower taken away, their fight will be in vain…
“Whitebeard mercenaries! “Let’s go catch those dogs coming over there!”
We brushed the blood off our swords and rushed to the stairs at the end of the watchtower to fight the guys coming towards us.
I wanted to go down the stairs and fight directly, but…
Looking at the momentum of the people coming in, I thought that if we knocked on them carelessly, we would be hit hard.
We must take the risks we have to take, but we cannot recklessly risk our guys’ lives on variables that seem unfavorable to us.
“I am in the lead! Everyone, defend the watchtower!”
As I stood at the entrance guarding the stairs, beating everyone else, the knights rushed towards me.
“Die, you lowly bastard!”
I’m not an old guy who has nothing to brag about in life other than being old, and the writers of the article don’t have anything to brag about…
I don’t know why you keep belittling people by calling them lowly and lowly.
The more it goes on, the more it seems like it doesn’t exist, and the so-called knights don’t even know that.
‘What a world.’
“You’re all alone!”
Out of curiosity, I killed the guy standing in front swinging his sword at me with a single blow.
The guy behind him stabbed me in the neck with a sword.
“Die!”
Is it possible to shake that much?
I lightly let go of what I was trying to stab and stabbed the guy in the neck.
When the lives of two enemy knights were lost in the blink of an eye, our mercenaries became excited and began to fight passionately, fearing that all of their great achievements would be taken from us.
“Don’t make Captain Martin suffer alone!”
Because the stairs are narrow, they can’t come to help right away, but seeing that the condition is improving so well, it seems like friendly support is slowly arriving.
“Captain Martin! “Our soldiers have filled the watchtower!”
When I looked back for a moment, I saw several friendly wizards and archers standing in the watchtower.
“Now is the time, shoot!”
At the same time as those words were said, arrows rained down on the guys who were coming to take the watchtower we had taken over.
“Ugh, sh*t!”
As we rained down arrows and magic at a distance from where our allies were, the momentum of those approaching from the castle wall toward our watchtower was completely broken.
The enemy’s momentum has died down, so we can use this flow to attack the castle wall.
“Whitebeard mercenaries! Going down the stairs! “Keep going like this!”
As I set an example by cutting down those who stood in my way one by one, the mercenaries behind me excitedly followed me.
The guys who followed me were armed with various weapons and started driving out the enemies around me from behind.
“Die!”
As I climbed over the watchtower and occupied the castle wall, I saw a knight with unusual momentum approaching me.
“You bastard!”
No, when we meet in war, we end up killing and killing each other. Why do you get angry and make a fuss over something that is obvious? He is a man with a very bad temper.
“Did you find me?”
“Yes! “For daring to disturb Raseu Castle, pay for it with death!”
At those words, the guys on the castle wall made way for us.
“Lord Colon has arrived!”
“Charge forward!”
“Now it’s over for that bastard!”
From Noble mtl dot com
Seeing that he receives support from soldiers, he seems to be quite capable.
“I, Adelheit Colon, a senior knight of the Viscount Laseu family, will deal with you!”
When I heard his voice, he seemed quite young, but he was already a senior knight…
I guess I rose to the top thanks to my own skills plus my parents’ reputation.
When I decided to raise my mental tension and do my best, Colon’s sword swung at my breastplate.
“Get lost!”
As if his confidence wasn’t bluff, the guy’s sword radiated cold enough to have frost on it.
Expert intermediate level, the same level of skill as mine.
‘It must be quite difficult.’
I unleashed as much auror as I could, ignited my sword with fire, and parried the attack.
The cold from his sword was melted by the flames emitted by my auror, so it didn’t have much effect, but he showed some signs of difficulty from the beginning.
‘If I keep pushing like this, I will win.’
After confirming that, I deliberately adopted a defense-oriented stance.
“Die!”
“Try killing me once!”
The guy’s attacks continued, but I just kept parrying them and blocking them.
Rather than trying to attack too forcefully or for no reason and giving him an opening… It’s safer and more certain to wait until he sees an opening and then aim for him with one shot.
When I showed a defensive attitude, he continued to attack me as if he was impatient.
They tried to take my life by cutting and stabbing in all directions, up, down, diagonally, etc…
“Will it work?”
I took advantage of the opportunity by blocking all the attacks with minimal movement.
After about 5 or 10 minutes had passed, I felt that the coldness in his sword had weakened slightly.
You couldn’t see his face because it was covered by his helmet, but he probably knew it too, so it must have been quite embarrassing.
‘Experts who can’t use Auras are just ordinary people who are extremely strong.’
“Ugh.”
The breathing sound of the guy swinging the sword gradually became rougher.
Then he stepped back and assumed a unique posture.
Are you planning on using this bastard family’s secret?
“Die!”
Not needlessly shouting out the name of the special move when using the Five Swords is an attitude worthy of high praise.
Because shouting such things is not only a waste of energy, but also serves as a warning to the enemy to prepare carefully because he will use a special move.
‘Let’s take a look.’
He pierced the gap between my neck very deeply and quickly.
When I threw it away with my sword, the guy turned his body around as if he had expected it and attacked me while turning in the opposite direction of the attack.
‘The connection is good.’
It was an attack that I was deeply impressed by, but once I blocked it, he kicked me in the shin with a low kick.
“Ugh…”
While I hesitated for a moment, he tried to stab me in the neck again.
Anyone can see that I am in danger, and if I panic or stop, I will 100% die.
I very slightly removed his stab with my sword.
It was only a slight shake, but that alone changed the trajectory of the stab, and I took out the dagger with my left hand and grabbed it.
Nevertheless, the guy and Kodeung fought with the sword in their right hands, and the standoff continued for a while.
Of course, as I held on with one hand, the sword was pushed back little by little…
“Die! “You damn mercenary!”
Just as he was trying to push me with confidence, I stabbed him in the armpit with a dagger.
“Ugh, ugh!”
When I struck the neck of the man whose posture was broken with a sword, everyone’s eyes turned to me.
“I, Martin Mayer, cut off the head of Viscount Laseu’s high-ranking knight, Adelheit Coron!”
When he shouted that, there was a huge cheering in the place where the allies were.
“The enemy senior knight has been defeated!”
On the other hand, a sigh of lament came from the Barcelo camp.
“No, f*ck…”
One enemy senior knight has died, so morale around here will be low for the time being.
“Now is the time, kill them all!”
As we continued to advance, cutting down countless enemies, the sun was setting.
Soon, a trumpet sound was heard from within the castle, announcing a retreat.
The enemy immediately escaped from the walls and headed toward the inner walls of Laceu Castle.
