Chapter 24 Siege and Spellcaster
Watching Grace shed tears and like a lonely little girl, Willis gradually returned to peace. "Give me the map, I will give you two a way out." Willis stared at Grace and said slowly, "I'm in the name of my mother."
Grace looked at his younger brother who had never paid attention to since childhood, as if she had known him for the first time. "I believe you won't lie." Grace said with a sob before her tears had flowed out. After that, she took off the sapphire necklace on her neck and pressed her fingers on both sides of the gem. The pure sapphire actually opened like a clam shell. This was a hollow sapphire. From the outside, she could not find it at all.
The gem contains a knuckle-sized parchment roll and a black ring. The parchment roll is through the map of the Mofi Forest, and the black ring is the token of the Kingdom of Karaman.
Willis took away the rolls and rings and indeed let go of Grace. Christine and his maid Rafi also ran from the next door. Willis did not pay much attention to the three people and led his men to leave. The city could not be defended. There were at least a thousand Fostein troops outside. The city had only 300 guards and the refugees brought to charge the number. It was impossible to defend it. It was just that the time and time of breaking the city was different. He assigned all those who could fight to the four gates, giving the Fostein an illusion that he would defend the city to the death. In fact, he led the fifty cavalry who were most loyal to him and broke through the weakest attack.
"Where is Sharp, where are others?" Grace found that the old housekeeper was missing and called to Willis, who had not yet left.
"I'm too rebellious, I'll kill you." Willis left without looking back.
Grace then fell to the ground powerlessly. If she had been holding her housekeeper and maid before, and using the map she remembered to cross the Mofi Forest to the Karaman Kingdom, now she really gave up. There is no old butler with a low-level steward, and only a lower-level maid, it is still a matter of whether she can approach the Mofi Forest alive.
"Miss, what should we do?" The maid Raffie hugged Christine and ran over and squatted down to look at Grace. Christine also looked at her obediently, but she didn't sleep all night. In addition, Willis had forced the few people to separate, Christine's condition was obviously even worse. Her face was filled with abnormal flushing and her eyes were confused, as if she could faint at any time.
Grace immediately realized that she could not fall down, her niece still needed her care, and the blood of the Philip family could not be broken. She still had assets in some places in Charlotte. She had only ordinary civilians disguised as Charlotte. She would be able to discover the wealth in the future, even if she could not become a nobleman, she would be a wealthy and noble ordinary civilian. Moreover, as the famous honorary countess in the kingdom, she would definitely be able to summon a group of people to protect her in the future, and life would definitely be bad. Grace fantasized about a bright future, but how could she guarantee that the Forster's army could not find her, and how could she guarantee that she could survive the city breaking. Grace, who had never experienced war and killing, was just a canary in the cage.
She and the butler and four others were caught by Willis's guards around the city lord's mansion as soon as they left the house. Now the butler is dead. Although she has never experienced the war, the refugees in the city also scared her when they look at others. They are not protected by powerful people. God knows what those refugees who have nothing will do. "Go back to the yard before," Grace said to the maid.
Outside the city, Locke was carrying a shield that he had found from somewhere and was rushing forward with sword rain. The first squadron leader Monte had already stood under the city wall and was commanding the soldiers around him to climb the ladder and rush up. The other squadron leaders also led the soldiers to move closer to Monte. Somehow the city was in trouble. Although the resistance was strong, there was no rule. Could the city guard be a fool? He smashed the turbulent and rolling stones into one place. The squadron leader Monte just used a small trick and took a shot, and occupied a little under the city.
Baron Kaidozi seemed to have discovered the Sharlots who were defending the city. Although the defensive was strong, he was weak inside and outside, and was powerless afterwards. He decisively sent the fourth squadron and the third squadron that had just been repaired for a while. He planned to take the city in one go. Whoever broke the city gate first, the final distribution of the benefits would be higher. Baron Kaidozi, born in the military family, obviously believed in his judgment. He had a premonition that he would definitely be the one who broke the city first. Baron Kashgar would not be able to have a magician to help him.
Lock and the others had approached the city gate. At this moment, the captain of Monte had already set up three ladders at the bottom of the city. "Bend, Morrit, drive the ladder!" There were more than twenty people following him around Lock, all of whom were old brothers from the previous squad and several well-deserved squad leaders. Most of the others were left to Jerson, and Master Zoro's safety cannot be lost.
"Uncle Monte, what about Uncle Yoshak." Locke had met with Yoshak and his squadron leader here before, but he had no one at this time. Locke felt a little bad. "Oh, Locke, Yoshak and Clariant have all gone up. I consume too much fighting spirit and can only stay here first." Monte said breathlessly. The reason why he could occupy the city was almost all the credit of Captain Monte. I don't know how many rolling stones and arrows he used the fighting spirit, so it was normal to over-expend it.
When Lock heard this, he immediately became anxious. "Gulas, Hans, Kane, come with me!" Locke snatched a ladder, bit his sword in his mouth, and climbed up with his hands and feet. Uncle Yoshak has taken care of him for so long, and he has long regarded Uncle Yoshak as his father's generation. Although Uncle Yoshak is strong, he dare not bet when he loses his hooves, so he can only rush up and fight with Uncle Yoshak.
The power of role models is infinite. When the soldiers around him saw the squadron leader taking the lead, they rushed up without fear of death. This guy, Gulas, was even more serious. He had a little bit of contempt for the thin Locke as the squadron leader before, but at this time he was impressed by Locke's courage. Hans, who was as strong as the physical body, followed closely behind Locke and crawled up, while Kane followed the last with a bow and arrow, clearing some obstacles and hidden threats for the advancers.
Locke bit the sword in his mouth and climbed up with his hands and feet. The city wall area directly above the ladder here, and the others should not have gained a foothold, because there were arrows and rolling stones from time to time. Fortunately, Locke's half-body armor had a helmet, which was so close that it could be blocked by the arrows, and the rolling stones were flexibly dodged by Locke.
The soldiers below Locke are not so lucky, whether they are arrows or tinctures, they will definitely fall down from the city wall. Although the city wall is not particularly high, if they fall like this, they will be seriously injured. As for the rolling stones, they will smash a large area, and only the second-class privates at the squad leader level and some strong third-class privates can follow Locke closely. No wonder after every battle, the servants and third-class privates are the most serious casualties.
Locke did not look back, but he could roughly know the soldiers' losses from the dull sound of the heavy objects behind him and the screams of the soldiers. Before, he was the squadron leader, so he would have to take care of his team on the battlefield. Now he is the squadron leader, and many of the soldiers behind him are his subordinates, and he doesn't want to be the commander of the bare hands.
As soon as Locke raised his energy, he guided the few fighting spirits on his right foot, kicked hard, and even stood up in the air. This move shocked the enemy on the city wall, the soldiers behind Locke, and even more shocked Locke himself.
This time, it actually consumed one-quarter of Locke's fighting spirit, and he hadn't started fighting yet.
"Another knight, brothers, don't let him come up!" the Sharrow soldier on the city wall shouted.
Locke was not surprised, and then stood up in the air and moved left and right with the help of the city wall and the ladder, and finally got on the city wall without any danger. Of course, this was also the reason why the city walls were coordinated by Shake and others.
After Locke came up, the battle on the city wall was indeed not optimistic. Three squadron leaders, including Yoshak, were forced to a small area of twenty square meters, with dead bodies on the ground, including Foster and Charlotte.
Lock looked around and found that there were only two enemies with the same fighting power as them, but the two men were surrounded by soldiers, and the siege was completely suppressed by Yoshak and the others.
Fortunately, the ladder was still there, and Foster's soldiers continued to rise. As long as the ladder was guarding, the city wall would definitely be able to capture it. Charlotte's side obviously knew that Fosterte's side actually had four knight attendants with fighting spirit, so why did they not have reinforcements? However, their task was to defend the city wall, and they had to continue to order the soldiers to rush up, which would inevitably suppress Fosterte's soldiers.
Unlike the battle in full swing on the city wall here, the two gates of the Kashgar attack were less intense. The Kashgar Baron was also very anxious. Unlike Baron Kaidozi, he could send people with low-level knight attendants to the formation. The strongest knight in his hand was only a guard of a low-level attendant, so of course he could not send his own guards.
According to the agreement, whoever breaks the city gate first will have the right to select spoils first and share more spoils. In the past, it would be given up, but this is a city of a son of a marquis. The harvest is self-evident, so you can't just give up.
"Master Jackson." Baron Kashgar called in a low voice.
"Master Baron." An old man in black robe appeared out of the shadow at some point.
"Be sure to break this door first, please," said the Baron Kashgar.
Soon, everyone on the battlefield heard a loud noise. The sharp-eyed man even found that there were three fireballs floating above the city gate where the Baron Kashgar attacked.
