Chapter 52 I really can’t think of a reason to lose
“kill！！！”
The deafening shouts and screams echoed over the city walls..
Countless siege ladders were erected in front of the city wall, and a large number of mercenaries and soldiers climbed up densely..
Looking from a distance, the city wall looks like countless ants clinging to it.
On the Starlight Continent where knights dominate, the defensive role of towering city walls is not very obvious..
Even a trainee knight can climb up the city wall with arrows and falling rocks..
Not to mention knights, the height of only tens of meters is just a few vertical jumps for the knights..
Therefore, the city wall often becomes a key point in fierce competition between the two sides..
behind the battlefield.
In the center heavily guarded by the army, four knights in armor looked coldly at the city wall with blood and flesh flying everywhere..
Devin frowned and said, "Black Rock City's resistance is unexpectedly strong..”
“It's normal." The tall Zolf said in a low voice, "In the final analysis, expanding the army is a matter of money. Key holds such a treasure in the Black Stone Mining Area. If the military strength does not improve at all, it would be a waste..”
Norwood smiled and said: "Don't worry, our military strength here is several times that of Black Rock City. No matter how hard you think, we can't lose.".”
Then he showed a flattering smile to the man next to him..
“What's more, we still have Lord Martell here, and with you leading the army, defeating Blackstone City is just a piece of cake..”
The man named Martell is about forty years old, with a tough appearance and a powerful aura. He is one of the newly enfeoffed lords after Owen occupied the shining collar, and he is also his confidant..
Martell is also a senior knight.
This time, he led the army on the expedition under Owen's order. He also tried his best to make achievements so that he could entrust more land..
After listening to Norwood's words, a flash of pride flashed across Martell's face, and he smiled: "Lord Norwood is right, the difference in strength is several times, I really can't think of a reason to lose..”
Devin was more mature and prudent after all. Seeing the disdainful expressions between the two of them towards Black Rock City, he couldn't help but remind him: "Don't forget that there is a wizard in Black Rock City.".”
“Lord Devon is talking about Sunan, right?.”
Norwood smiled.
“We have watched that kid grow up. He has been cowardly and timid since he was a child, and his body is so weak that he cannot even practice breathing techniques. How could such a loser be a wizard?？”
“Besides, it’s not certain whether the rumors about wizards are true or false..”
Martell also looked disapproving..
Even if he is a real wizard, he is not afraid of a high-ranking knight..
Devin actually had doubts about this rumor in his heart. Seeing that both of them were indifferent, he stopped talking and continued to look at the battle in the distance..
The first group to attack the city were mercenaries and the troops brought by the three lords, and their combat effectiveness was far from outstanding..
Because of this, our own army has not captured the city wall yet, and the fierce tug of war continues..
Even because it has been unable to attack for a long time, our own army's offensive has begun to show some fatigue..
Seeing this, Martell finally couldn't hold himself back and led the elite troops brought from the glittering tie to rush forward..
As Martell's army entered the battlefield, the pressure on the defenders increased sharply..
In just a moment, the siege army occupied an additional area of the city wall..
Martell used an indomitable and brave attitude to plow a path of blood among the defenders, killing them until the defense line was crumbling..
Seeing this scene from a distance with a brass telescope, Devin and the other three looked happy at the same time..
“As expected of Lord Martell, he is really powerful.！”
“This is the power of the high-ranking knight！”
But just when the three of them were happy, the situation on the city wall suddenly changed..
A group of panther-like creatures suddenly rushed up the city wall and fiercely attacked the siege army..
These ferocious beasts were unexpectedly powerful, and they were even able to fight against the knights. For a time, the momentum of the siege army's attack came to a halt..
at the same time.Key also appeared on the city wall with a black panther and stopped Martell..
Although Key is only a junior knight and his strength is far inferior to Martell, he can't stand him because there is a fierce knight-level black rock leopard beside him who is not afraid of death..
One person and one beast cooperated so well that for a while, even Martell was unable to do anything to them..
“What is that? "Norwood was shocked..
Devin and Zolf also showed shocked expressions.
After coming back to his senses, Devin hesitated and said: "That seems to be the mount of the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment..”
“mount？”
Zolf and Norwood looked at each other in astonishment.
They knew that Black Rock City had formed a cavalry regiment, and the mount was said to be a strange leopard beast..
They scoffed at it at the time and didn't take it too seriously..
Although many exotic beasts are more powerful than war horses, being powerful does not mean they are suitable for the battlefield..
For cavalry, the more important thing is the tameness of the mount and its ability to obey its master's orders..
Only in this way can one plus one be greater than two..
It’s just that they can be domesticated on a large scale and are extremely rare to adapt to the battlefield..
At that time, the three people in Devon only thought that Blackstone City was trying to please others..
But when they actually saw it, they were shocked to find that the black panthers advanced and retreated in a controlled manner, cooperated extremely well, and were not afraid of death. They were more elite than the most elite soldiers.！
Not very suitable for the battlefield！
If all the mounts of the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment are such creatures, then the combat effectiveness of this army will be terrifying to think about.！
As two hundred black rock leopards joined the battlefield, the area originally occupied by the attacking party was quickly taken back..
The battle suddenly fell into a stalemate again.
“Damn it! Black Rock City actually has such a trump card! "Norwood looked annoyed..
Zolf frowned and said: "This is troublesome. With those strange beasts around, it may not be that easy to break through Black Rock City.".”
Devin also frowned.
With such variables added out of thin air, even if they can finally capture Black Rock City, they will probably be severely damaged..
“The losses of siege are too great, so it is not as good as siege.”
After thinking for a while, Devin looked at the other two people.
“Winter has just passed, and there will definitely not be much food in Blackstone City. As long as we surround it for a month or two, Blackstone City will definitely not be able to sustain it. By then, they will definitely come out of the city to fight us..”
Zolf and Norwood's eyes lit up and they nodded..
“good idea.”
“I will propose this when Lord Martell comes back.！”
In the decisive battle outside the city, the main force is the elite cavalry regiment under Baron Owen..
In this way, their military casualties can also be reduced..
Just when the three of them were complacent and came up with a good idea, a scream suddenly sounded in their ears..
They turned around and followed the sound, and were surprised to find that the right wing of the army, where the elite cavalry regiment was located, was in chaos for some reason..
Hundreds of war horses fled in all directions, and the sound of neighing could not be heard..
Many cavalrymen were thrown off their horses and were trampled into pulp by the hooves of the swarming horses..
In the process of calming the horses, more cavalrymen were suddenly thrown out as if they were hit by a galloping elephant. They fell more than ten meters away and howled miserably..
Some unlucky ones even had their bodies twisted into weird arcs in mid-air, and died without even a grunt after landing..
