Chapter 249 Attack and Defense I

The edge of the snowy jungle.

In a hidden place, four men with different appearances, ages, and temperaments are gathering together, discussing in a low voice——

"Tyre is on guard. Ice castles have been built on the northeast and northwest sides. The old dog of Vauban also sent out the Knights of the North and nailed them to the opposite side of us. What should we do now?"

The first person to speak was a man who wore a leather vest in winter in the north of Emerald, revealing most of his chest and thick arms. He had messy hair and a dirty face inside his beard. His facial features could not be distinguished at all. Desperate prayers are no better.

However, he has a pair of red hands that look like blood.

Bloody Jason, the bandit from Gaosai, was frowning at the allies in front of him, waiting for their solution. After all, he himself did not agree to come to plunder in winter.

"Yeah? What now?"

A dwarf who shrank his whole body in the shadow asked the same.

Apparently, Black Skull didn't agree to come to loot at this time either.

"Going back empty-handed is a blow to us - not only in terms of subordinates' morale, but also in terms of our prestige...'Family' but I don't know how many people are staring at our position, especially some young people recently The rising speed is too fast, we have to be careful!"

With a mustache, a red and blue coat, a white wig, stockings of the same white color, and bright as new cowhide boots, he always dresses himself like a cunning fox of an old-fashioned aristocrat. I spoke. There were no obvious words, but it made the two people before had to frown and think.

"Kilderling, talk, what to do, it's your suggestion!"

The bloody hand looked at the man who wrapped his whole body in the armor. The same was true for the black skull, and his eyes were even more direct - with evil and killing intent. For this former thief and assassin, he liked it even more. Do something in the shadows, in the dark, not as it is now. Fight those nobles openly and aboveboard.

only. Their mutual alliance compelled them to do so.

As Sly Fox said, 'Some young people have risen too fast recently! ’ So much so that these ‘old men’ had to live in groups.

"Kilderrin must have made up his mind, don't worry!"

The cunning fox at the side had a gentle smile.

He waved his hand. That attitude undoubtedly showed the appearance of a solid ally. But the meaning in the words carries a hint of persuasion.

"I have no better way!"

Hammer of Riot said this, and then glanced at the 'allies' in front of him. He continued: "I didn't expect them to build an 'ice castle' in such a short period of time!"

"Then you mean we just retreat like this? Do you know how much we will lose?"

The bloody hand spoke in a hurry, with a slightly raised voice, so that no one would doubt his anger at the moment.

And the black skull is more and more integrated into the shadows, and a trace of coldness begins to emerge around it, as if it was born as a shadow creature.

The cunning fox touched his mustache, and then asked with a smile: "Kilderling, you see our loss, don't you?"

"Loss? Let's talk about it after the fight!"

Hammer of Riot seemed to be talking to himself.

"What's the meaning?"

The three bandit 'allies' were taken aback.

"I'll act as a bait, attack an ice castle, and attract Vauban's old dog and local armed forces. Then, you go to attack another one. After breaking through, loot the entire town of Tyre according to the original plan, and then go back the same way. Return—our other subordinates are only a little later than us, they are enough for me to attract the remaining strength of the old dog!"

The Hammer of Riot spoke word by word, and the voice echoed behind the steel armor mask, making a 'buzzing' sound.

"As expected of Kildrin!"

The cunning fox praised like this.

After the bloody hand and the black skull looked at each other, they didn't speak any more.

After all, the most dangerous missions were resisted by the Hammer of Riots, and they were there to reap the benefits, so there was no complaint.

As for the rule of sharing spoils established when the four parties formed an alliance?

There are too many tricky things that can be operated in it, so many that you can almost close your eyes to operate it.

"Kilderrin, which direction did you choose?"

With a gentle smile, the cunning fox asked seemingly casually.

"northwest!"

Hammer of Riot said this, and then stood up and walked straight to the hiding place of his subordinates.

The three remaining bandit leaders glanced at each other, and then walked to the hiding place of their subordinates.

...

On the northwest side of Tyreland, Ice Castle.

Huck led a group of people up to the 20-foot-high city wall, and a thick layer of sand fell under his feet, which was not as slippery as expected, but he still needed to be careful.

Therefore, on the wall of the ice city, Huck moved his steps close to the ground, stretched out his hands to support his body, and Huck poked his head out to look outside the ice castle.

It's so dark it's hard to tell.

"Deputy head, we should send scouts and patrol guards!"

Silen on the side also saw nothing, and couldn't help sighing.

"Did you forget the commander's order?"

Huck shouted in a low voice.

"Of course not—'Stick to the ice castle, all attacks and defenses are based on the ice castle!' However, this feeling of being blind and deaf is really uncomfortable!"

Siren shook his head again and again, and then said helplessly.

"Uncomfortable, it's better than dying! The patrolling scouts of the Northland Knights have set up a stronghold nearby. We just need to stick to our own duties. The rest... will be left to the Northland Knights!"

Huck said, but the last sentence was difficult no matter how you looked at it.

And the palm that was clenched into a fist unknowingly showed more directly what was going on in Huck's heart.

For a fighter. Needing to rely on fortifications to face the enemy is a shame in itself.

The other members of the Feichalun Knights standing on the city wall, listening to the conversation between their captain and deputy leader, all showed unwillingness.

Whoosh!

Snapped!

And at this moment, a loud arrow sounded suddenly, and then, a red firework appeared in the sky——

"Enemy attack! Prepare to fight!"

Huck shouted loudly at the same time when the red light was on.

Immediately, the Fechalen Knights and Zelgon's militiamen in the ice castle began to move, and people who were good at bows and arrows came behind the city wall. Some prepared stones and large ice skates were also piled up there.

As for ballistas and catapults?

The city of Vauban has these war machines. However, not in this ice castle.

The only thing that can be regarded as a delicacy is the crossbow in the hands of the militiamen-for these militiamen who lack training, most of them are blacksmiths and miners. It is difficult to bend the bow and nock the arrow. But if you only aim with a crossbow. But it's not a problem, and the strength they have cultivated from blacksmithing and mining is enough to shoot another arrow. String the crossbow.

Of course, it was two people working together.

The full-fledged members of the Fechalen Knights stood on the first line, while the recruits and Zelgon's militia were mixed in, most of them were on the second and third lines.

As the captains, Siren, Ike, Chad, and Maher stood at the forefront. Although Ike has been in charge of medicine and logistics, the title of captain is still there, while Chad and Maher are because of The extra recruits became the new captain.

"Give me a good look at everything, and shoot the arrow after you look at it!"

Siren roared in such a low voice.

But the people around were silent, no one answered, heavy breathing, pounding heartbeat, nervousness was the state of recruits and militiamen at the moment.

"No one answered? Could it be... are you afraid?"

After scanning around, Xi Lun looked at the remaining three captains not far away. As the three of them nodded slightly, he couldn't help asking in a drawn-out tone.

"No, no!"

Almost instinctively, several recruits and militiamen replied like this.

"Tsk, you guys are the only ones who aren't afraid, the others who didn't answer are all cowards!"

Siren said as if mocking.

"You're the coward!"

With a low shout, Raul, who was standing in the militia, suddenly came out, and then, looking at the familiar faces around, he asked loudly, "Tell me, are you cowards?"

"no!"

Being questioned again, the militiamen shouted subconsciously.

"The militiamen are not cowards, everyone of the Knights, how about you?"

Seeing the militia captain's eyes looking at him, Siron asked again with understanding.

"Of course not! How could we be compared by the militia!"

The young people who entered the Knights shouted unconvinced.

"Very well, since we are not convinced... we can only watch it - the enemy will come soon! And we are soldiers, and the soldier's vocation is to kill the enemy. If you want to see if a soldier is qualified, then look Let's see how many enemies he killed! This is what the leader said!"

Siren added a sentence at the end, indicating the source, and then, the slightly relaxed expression suddenly froze——

"Everyone take your weapons and show them to me. The front is the enemy, the rear is our home, and we are in the middle... We are the only defense of the home - kill the enemy and protect the home! This is a man, Soldiers' duties, so when we face the enemy next, we can only... kill!"

Siren roared loudly.

"kill!"

The recruits and militiamen on the city wall shouted loudly.

The veterans quietly gestured their thumbs to their captain.

"Grow up!"

Our deputy regiment leader couldn't help sighing when he saw that the nervous recruits and militiamen were no longer under the blood.

Then, his gaze was attracted by the deeper and deeper darkness in the darkness, and the layers of black shadows, like a huge monster, began to appear in front of the ice castle.
