Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 131 Nalanni V (5)

The knights pulling the siege tower loosened the ropes tied to their chests, and took out their weapons to open a way for the giants behind. The slave army on the city wall began to pour boiling water down, flowing in through the gaps in the knight's armor, like He was adding firewood to a closed fireplace, and there were endless screams.

A bow and arrow hit Nalanni's helmet, leaving a vibration after bouncing off the steel, as if she had been slapped lightly.

"Here it is," she called, raising her sword aloft. "Get ready to climb the wall!"

Arrows, fiery rolling balls, projectiles wrapped in flaming rags, and boiling oil tried to devour the siege tower, but the attacks slid off its body or bounced off the hide that covered it, Pushing forward unaffected, it finally stopped a few yards from the ramparts.At that moment, there was an astonishing silence on the battlefield, and the people on the tower and the people on the wall were staring at each other almost face to face.

"For the Holy King!"

The silence was broken, and the horn sounded from behind her.The vanguard team on the siege tower jumped onto the city wall and started hand-to-hand combat. Nalanni and the other knights continued to push the siege tower with their hands to firmly fix it in this position.

Just as she was about to squeeze through the crowd and climb up the siege tower, a hand grabbed her by the shoulder.

"Master, you can't go up!" She looked back, and Ragno's voice came from under the man's helmet. "Leave it to the vanguard, it's too dangerous!"

"Let go, knight!" Nalanni released his hand, "I fight with my people, and this will never change!"

She needs to establish an image, she needs to let all the knights see that the leader of the Prophecy Knights has not only Holy Days in his heart, but also them.

"Where's Weigel?" She asked Ragnol where her deputy was going.

He turned his head to the right, and Wei Geer, who was wearing silver armor, was rushing towards the city gate with the men of the white tassels. He was holding the battering ram, and another warrior was covering him with a shield.

"I'll go up with you, Commander!" Ragnol picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the city wall, "I will assist you!"

She put the long sword in her belt, and climbed up the siege tower with Ragnor. Nalanni could feel that the space in the tower was becoming wider: the people who had already charged up the wall were more likely than those who rushed into the tower to continue to follow up. There are fewer people, even if you are predicting the Knights, there is no shortage of people who are timid. They wait for other fighters to open the gap for them, and then rush forward.

She climbed to the penultimate floor, and under the cover of the archers on the top floor, she stepped on a plank and jumped onto the city wall, drawing her sword with both hands and began to fight.The knights are tearing open a hole, and the other three siege towers have also leaned against the city wall, half of their task has been completed.

"Holy Day, please look at me and my sharp blade, today I will use the blood of unbelievers to open the way for your holy light!" Ragnol drew out his big ax after finishing his prayer.

Nalanni parried the ax attacking her, and then slashed the enemy's chest with a sword. She tried to create a space in front of her, but the number of defenders was large enough to fill the entire city wall , and there is still a steady stream of reinforcements from behind.Every time she takes out an enemy, a new resistance rushes up.

Ragno was behind her to protect her back from sneak attacks, and to be honest Nalanni didn't want this novice rider to fight with her in such a dangerous place, but if he could survive this brutal meat-grinding war In the end, he will also become a real knight of prophecy, so that he will not hold anyone back in the next war.

These slave soldiers were not professional soldiers who had been tempered for many years. Nalanni could tell from the flaws they exposed from time to time. Many of them did not have much combat experience.

She took a step to avoid the pickaxe that was attacking her chest, and cut the man's neck with a half-turn; two more people attacked her, and Nalanni moved in front of one of them first, one Shangchao knocked his spear away, then leaped at him with the long sword drawn back, stacked the two of them, and pierced their hearts with one sword.

Then she kicked the corpse away from the sword, and at this moment, Nalanni saw the defenders not far away lifting a huge object over the battlements and dragging it out on the pulleys hanging from the adjacent tower. , it was a long tree trunk suspended by chains, covered with sharp tools: swords and knives, sickles and nails, maces and hooks sprouted from its sides like branches, and the wood itself covered with a black, oily mucus.

The garrison let go of the chains, let the trunk slide down the slope, and plunged straight into the front of the siege tower to her right.In an instant, a row of flaming arrows flew into it, and a wall of fire rose in front of the tower, engulfing it.

Nalanni blinked slightly, and a knight tried to extinguish it with water, and a huge flame exploded directly in front of him, blasting him apart, and smashing him heavily to the ground.

This is a flame that cannot be extinguished. The knights and archers on the top of the tower looked down in horror and saw the soldiers who could not escape from the flames pushing the siege tower desperately, trying to Find a way out.

"Protect the right side, attack from the right side!" Nalanni raised her long sword and rushed down on one knee, half-kneeling, parrying the attack of the mace and then cutting down the opponent from below.

The siege tower was gone, she thought, and they had to fight to the right, or the warriors who climbed the wall from the burning tower would be left alone to die.

A torrent of fire slanted down from the fronts of the siege towers, and casks full of oil were thrown from the ramparts, providing yet another food for the inextinguishable conflagration.A hiss echoed in Nalanni's ears, and all she could do was charge forward, praying to the stars to arrive before the knights over there died.

The sour smell of vinegar filled the hot and humid air, and it seemed as if all the water in the world was boiling. The siege towers collapsed completely, and the flames caught in the gap between the helmets and armor of the soldiers, burning them alive or being killed. The collapsed wooden giant was crushed to death.

Nalanni yelled in some pain, and the knights beside her cheered up again, and they successfully fought to the right, fighting with the remaining warriors.The city walls are becoming more and more empty, and the number of soldiers is gradually outnumbering the defenders.

At this time, the second city gate was also broken by the battering ram, and a tall warrior wearing a white tasseled helmet rushed out from the gate full of killing holes, holding a shackle in one hand and an ax in the other, jumping forward. Entering the city, he smashed one head and chopped off another.

Seeing that the city gate was breached, the defenders on the city wall obviously began to waver. They began to retreat, trying to run down the stone steps and retreat to the second defensive area, but once the collapse started, they would not stop. The three knights broke through the city walls and gates, and slaughtered all the defenders who failed to escape.

Nalanni looked up, and saw that the fuzzy sky with black smoke was yawning. She looked down, and the entire Blood Oath Fortress was naked in front of her.
