"Stay calm! Wait for them to get closer..." Vatir shouted.

He had already put on his winged helmet and stared at the Varedi's approaching vanguard troops.

Most of the Valedi family wore green armor, and the city was the first wave of this "green offensive".

The first row of the city walls are short swordsmen holding shields. During the interweaving period, the archers pulled a long bow under the cover of the square shield, and the spearmen and the halberd were ranked last.

At this height, the archers can have a range of more than 300 meters, but due to the lack of archers and arrows, the Nifgads are not allowed to attack at a shorter distance in order to increase the hit rate.

"Shoot the arrow!"

"Shoot the arrow!!"

As the officers' orders spread throughout the city walls, the archers loosened the bowstrings that had been pulled, and with the endless sound of the shaking strings, the rain of arrows flew towards the Varedi vanguard troops outside the city walls.

The vanguard of the Varedi Army was composed of two hundred soldiers. They had just experienced a marching force and were about to capture the city before Nifgaard reinforcements arrived. The Varedi Army had no time to carry or build heavy engineering equipment, and its vanguard could only launch a strong attack on the city wall with a ladder.

However, even at a distance of one hundred meters, the arrows did not pose much threat to the vanguard troops holding their shields.

After a rain of arrows, only a few dozen people fell to the ground screaming.

A distance of 100 meters is only enough for one volley.

"Free Shoot!" As the officers issued an order, the archers began to attack at will, and sparse and continuous arrows were covering the Valerdi army below.

More soldiers wearing green cotton armor fell to the ground by arrows, most of them did not die immediately, and screams in front of the city wall began to rise and fall.

However, the attack was not too hindered. The vanguard of the Valedi army quickly rushed to the city, and more than a dozen ladders stood up one after another. The soldiers held their shields high and began to climb.

However, what greeted them was naturally the stones, arrows, and even the foul smelly liquid.

The stones as big as a head shattered the wooden shield raised above the head, and the arrow shot into the eye holes in the neck and helmet, causing the attacker's door to scream and fall from the ladder.

Roars, curses, and wails filled the entire battlefield.

On the high ground a few hundred meters away, Arian and Roche looked at the battle situation in front of the walls of Gosvellen.

The first round of offensive was very smooth at first, and Nifgaard's rain of arrows was better than nothing. Arian saw his troops and quickly rushed under the city wall.

But the luck of the vanguard troops has reached this point, and no one has been able to climb the city wall so far. Arian saw two ladders burning directly, and another ladder even flew out with several soldiers.

The warlocks took action.

"Send Rox and Will's troops, and let the archers and crossbowmen advance with the heavy infantry to shoot the city walls." The Baron gave an order to the officers around him.

"Sir Baron, this will hurt your own people."

Arian did not answer, but just glared at the officer, who immediately took the order and retreated tactfully.

———————————————

Renault climbed hard on the ladder.

He looked at the ground below him and there were more than a dozen corpses piled up at the bottom of the ladder.

The ladder under his feet was shaking constantly, and the height of nearly ten meters made his legs tremble, but there was a shield underneath that was pushing him upwards, and his shield was also pushing him to another soldier above him.

The air was a little hot, which was a heat wave caused by the burning of the horse and the ladder. The smoke and dust in the air made him cry uncontrollably. His ears were his rapid breathing, and there were screams, screams, and sporadic explosions around him, but the barrier of his helmet made these sound very far away.

Renault didn't know why he wanted to climb.

Two years ago, a team of cavalry suddenly broke into his village, holding up a piece of parchment covered with red marks, and Reno was also crowded in the crowd watching.

Old Jon, who has seen the world, said: "That is the king's edict."

However, Renault did not care about the old lame man's nervous nonsense. He looked around in the crowd, looking for his familiar green eyes.

He quickly found the other party.

The other party was also looking at him, with a smile that could dissolve all the sadness in the world.

Lena.

The most beautiful girl in the world.

The knights spent the night in the village.

The next day, Renault, who had just left the house, saw three corpses hanging on the old trees in the village.

Ryan has been his best friend since childhood, hunting, farming together, and pursuing Lina together.

His hands were tied behind him and he was swaying gently in the breeze.

A knight shouted "Desergeant" under the tree.

Renault suddenly understood Old Jon's words.

"This is the king's edict."

My parents didn't sleep all night and used all the savings at home to exchange for a rusty helmet from the down-and-out veteran at the entrance of the village.

He hugged his parents in a hurry, and then he was stuffed with a broken iron sword and pushed to join the team.

However, in the crowd seeing off, Renault did not see Lina, and he did not even see Lina's parents.

Wait for me to come back.

They first fought against the Southerners, and later they heard that the king was dead, and a knight who he always remembered was not named, led them to continue fighting guerrillas with the Southerners.

Others corrected him that he was the Regent, but Renault never changed his words.

What is the difference between Lord Regent and Lord Knight?

Later, the Knights died, but they joined the army of the enemy, the Southerners.

He went to the north hundreds of kilometers away to fight against the Redanians, who were also northerners. This victory finally favored him, they won, and Redanian surrendered.

However, he was not allowed to return to his hometown.

Another edict was said to have come from the Queen, a little girl who was only ten years old.

He no longer knew his flag or his lord. There were no one left who set out from the village with him.

This time, I have to fight with the southerners again.

He couldn't figure out why.

A huge rock that passed by pulled Renault back from his memory. More stones fell from him, and some small pieces of gravel and sand crackled on his helmet.

His left eye had been narrowed by the dust, and he might be bleeding now. He looked at another ladder not far away with his intact right eye. A gray stone with a big head hit the head of the soldier on the top. The soldier did not make any sound, but his body suddenly softened, and his hands loosened the tight crossbar and fell down.

Renault felt a little glad, thanking that the soldiers above him helped him block most of the attacks.

Suddenly, Renault felt the pressure on the shield in his hand disappeared. He suddenly looked up and through the tiny eye hole of his helmet, he saw the upper edge of the city wall. After the battlements, three friendly forces wearing the same clothes as him were fighting against the Niphgads in black armor.

Renault suddenly woke up in his heart. He jumped onto the city wall and wanted to roar, but only a hoarse and strange sound came out in his throat, and instead a snot spurted out. However, the scream still attracted the attention of a man in black, and the other party's long halberd immediately fell to him.

Renault immediately raised his shield and with a bang, the impact force came from his arm.

“Est    heidt!”

“Tynn   heidt    alas   kaupunginmuuri!”

Renault heard the people in black screaming, but he didn't understand what that meant.

"Stop their attack and defend the ladder!" Renault heard someone shouting in words he could understand, and his voice sounded familiar.

The sound of his feet falling to the ground came from behind him, as if more friendly troops had climbed to the top of the city, which greatly increased Renault's confidence. He moved the high shield a little. Seeing that the southerner in front of him was stabbing towards his legs with a long halberd, he immediately lowered the shield and let it tilt to meet the tip of the opponent's halberd.

This trick was learned from the Redanians, and his two-year military career has made Renault a "veteran".

Sure enough, the long halberd hit the tilted shield and was bounced to one side, deviating from the center line. The southerners also lost their center of gravity in an instant. Renault suddenly took a step forward and stabbed into the gap under the opponent's helmet with a sword.

The southerners fell to the ground, and blood in their mouths gushed out with the sound of gurgling.

Yu Guangzhong, Renault saw that his comrades next to him also won the victory. More friendly troops climbed the city wall behind him, and the defense lines of the southerners were forced to retreat step by step.

Just when Renault thought they had occupied this section of the city wall, he saw a white-haired man in chain mail rushing over from another city wall. Several terrible scars were hanging on his face, and a faint yellow light seemed to radiate.

The man rushed to the front of several people at a speed that Renault had never seen before, and then jumped high, with the exquisite scimitar in his hand shining with bright red light.

"Roll, be careful!" Renault suddenly remembered the name of his comrades beside him.

The other party obviously noticed the white-haired man and raised his shield to defend without hesitation.

Wood chips splattered and blood spilled Renault all over. In the bright red vision, he saw Roll and his people and their shields being split in half.

"Bastard!" Renault shouted, and he raised his sword toward the white-haired man.

Unexpectedly, the man did not dodge, and the sword edge slashed directly on his back. However, accompanied by the dazzling yellow light, Renault felt a huge force coming from the sword edge, directly shaking away the iron sword in his hand.

Before he could come back from the shock, Renault suddenly felt a numbness in his body, followed by severe pain all over his body.

He wanted to howl loudly, but found that the flesh and blood on his chin had stuck to his helmet.

The helmet is filled with a burning smell.

Through the white smoke in front of him, Renault saw a beautiful black-haired woman standing on the tower in the distance, with white lightning jumping in her eyes, like a god.

Immediately afterwards, the scimitar that had dealt with his several comrades and swung him towards him.

A yellow light filled the field of vision, followed by the city walls that swiftly swept forward and the blood splashed out from the walls that were constantly away.

Renault felt like he fell on a pile of soft things, and something seemed to twitch under him.

Sleep came.

In the darkness that gradually wrapped around himself, Renault seemed to see those green eyes again.

"Geralt, be careful!" Yennifal shouted.

She had just dealt with a Vared soldier who had attacked Geralt. The other party was wearing a tattered cotton armor, but a somewhat delicate helmet. Her weird outfit made the sorcerer tut.
