The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 153 Hyde Siege

Approaching Fort Hyde, the roadside scene is shocking.

On both sides of the road, there are dark street lights.

The street lamp was composed of immortals, and the stakes pierced their bodies and nailed them to the wooden frame.The heads were set on fire, and the flames distorted the air and their faces.A soaked wooden shackle was placed around the neck to prevent the flames from spreading below the head.An intact chest cavity would guarantee them the most hysterical screams.

These immortals cannot be killed so simply, they will continue to struggle until their will dissipates from their souls, they remain motionless and no longer struggle.

It will take quite a long time. Before that, the screams of these people will be the nightmare of one side, and the horns and drums of the other side.

Hyde looked at these people with a livid face:

"It's from the fortress."

He wanted to go forward to rescue those people, but the stake was driven very deep, Hyde only had a dagger, and it was difficult to cut the stake.

Wuming helped him cut down the stakes, rescued the people, and extinguished the flames.

Their faces melted away, wailing in feeble pain.

Wuming put them down on the ground and healed the wounded with healing spells.

"This is what Wang has always wanted to avoid." Hyde sighed, "Thank you, I will pay you after the treatment fee."

"No, it's free." Wuming said, "I haven't picked to this extent yet."

"That didn't occur to me," Hyde said.

"Probably because I can understand their pain." Nameless said, looking at the surrounding environment, "It seems that the people of the coalition lords are not enough to be surrounded by the fog forest. We broke in so easily. coming."

"If you can really surround the foggy forest, the fortress has already been bulldozed." Hyde said, "That's why there is a chance for people to evacuate."

"Go into the city and ask about the situation." Wuming helped those people into the carriage and entered the fort with Hyde.

Hyde Fortress in the besieged city was also dead silent. Although the city wall hadn't been breached, the cloud of war hung over everyone's heads, making them breathless.

Wuming saw his caravan and engineering team in the city.

"Have you all withdrawn?" Wuming said, "I thought I had to go to the entrance well of the Eternal City to find you."

Wuming was very happy. The employees were all in one place, so he wouldn't have to look around.

"Not all have been withdrawn." The nameless subordinate said, "Some people were forced to flee into the depths of the underground city."

Nameless thought: "I can only look for it later, is there someone guarding it now?"

Hyde and Nameless learned about the situation of the fortress.

The advantage of the lord's coalition forces is that they have a large number of people, which has brought about the worst situation in Hyde Fortress - the supplies have been cut off.

Without food, the wells for drinking water are also very limited, and the weapons are also lacking in supplies, so the more they fight, the less they fight.

Although these are not fatal problems, they are constantly hitting the nerves of the residents of the fortress and constantly reminding them of the fact that the fortress will fall sooner or later.

Fortunately, Wuming and Hyde have some operations here, and they have hoarded a lot of supplies to serve the soldiers, otherwise the situation in the city would be even more bleak.

In addition to tight sieges, the enemy army also liked to break the spirit of the residents.In addition to setting captives on wooden stakes and setting them on fire, causing screams and torturing the spirit of the residents in the city, soldiers also came to the city every day to call for battle.

King Neferi started his army from Hyde Fortress, and these people will start from Hyde Fortress to knock down King Nefeli's rule step by step.

After understanding the situation, Wuming began to investigate the shortage of supplies in the city, like a businessman preparing to purchase, checking the water wells and food supplies around the fortress every day.

I even counted the theatrical repertoires that the residents like and the poems of bards they like to listen to.

"What are you doing?" Hyde became more and more confused, "Didn't you want the coalition forces to retreat?"

"Let's prepare some food and logistics first." Wuming said after understanding the situation.

Hyde said: "How do you prepare? Aren't you going to repel the coalition forces? With those people guarding near the foggy forest, how do you transport supplies?"

Wuming said: "Didn't you say that there are several routes?"

"That's where the enemy's lines are weak, and we should cherish these routes." Hyde said, "If it is exposed because of the delivery of supplies, this kind of route will be gone."

"If you don't have enough to eat, how can you have the strength to fight?" Wuming said, "Don't worry, I have already notified my people to deliver it. Calculate the time, and it is almost here."

After Wuming finished speaking, he leisurely returned to his caravan.

Concerned about the progress of the survey and site selection of the Eternal City under the well at the entrance of the Shifra River.

Only Hyde stayed where he was, very puzzled:
"Where did we find the supplies? Didn't we rush all the way here? How come the speed is about the same as ours?"

========
The allied forces of the lords surrounded the entrance well of the Shifra River, and the extravagant barracks of the lords were lined up, planning the target of the next attack.

Fort Hyde must be captured.

As Hyde said, this place is quite far from Stonewell, and it is difficult for Nefeli to travel far.

But she really wants to start an expedition. If Hyde Fortress cannot be attacked for a long time, the coalition forces of the lords will be attacked.

And once Fortress Hyde falls, even if Nefeli leads the army to attack and return, they still have a fortress that can defend the city.

However, the tenacity of Hyde Fortress exceeded their expectations, and there are still quite a few faded people gathered here.

The faders have no loyalty at all. They found that Fort Hyde no longer maintained a neutral stance, so they didn't mind joining the fort to help them resist the coalition forces, and only wanted the honor of fighting.

The current method of the lords is still based on a war of attrition, and sent sentries to fortify layers of defense along the way. Once Stonewell shows signs of sending troops, they are ready to start a storm.

On this day, they received a bad news.

The checkpoint they set was broken, and someone entered the foggy forest.

"What's going on?" A lord complained, "Someone is approaching the defense line, but we haven't been notified? Which family is responsible for monitoring the road? How many people are there in the opponent's army? Do we still have a chance to break through Fort Hyde?"

The lord with a donkey's head on his helmet replied:

"That road is being monitored by my people, and there is a reason why there is no return."

"What reason?"

"Only two people." The donkey helmet lord replied, "Our scouts are stalking the Nefeli army. This situation should be resolved directly by the team responsible for guarding the main road."

"Just two people, didn't you stop them?" The lord sneered, "Which family is in charge of that section of the road?"

"Me." In the corner, a man covered in scales answered.

The lord's armor coat of arms is particularly powerful - a dragon.

"Nedhart's family?" The lord who was originally mocking became serious, "Aren't your shield spearmen very powerful, why can't you stop two people?"

The lord in scale armor said in a deep voice:
"I went to see it. The team of shield gunmen were all crushed into meat paste. Those two people came here in a chariot."

"Can two chariots destroy a team?" The lord didn't believe it.

"A chariot." The scale lord corrected, "According to my subordinates' description, it should be a chariot of the Golden Dynasty."

"Here comes a heroic knight?" The lords became serious. "The Golden Dynasty recognizes Nefeli's regime?"

The lords opposed Nefeli under the banner that she was not orthodox.

But in fact, everyone knows that Ningmgfu people are not very orthodox.The closest to the orthodoxy is Gregor, who is nowhere to be seen now.

As border tributaries exiled by the golden tree, what these lords said was not orthodox, it was just an excuse.

"Probably not. If you really want to admit it, you don't need to send someone here." The lord in scales said, "They shouldn't be from Nefeli. How can she have any heroes under her command?"

The lords were a little downcast.

Heroic knights are not easy to deal with.

The ancient dragon knight in Wangcheng is a hero, but he captured Ge Fuya alive.And Greg, who is also a limb grafter, has been domineering in Ningmgfu for so many years, and he dare not fart even if he suppresses these lords.

The lords present basically had a pale beard and an old face, not to mention a junior.

The descendants of these lords present were basically dedicated to Grek, and became part of the terrifying spider.

The lords were silent, thinking about how to deal with it.

Suddenly the tent was lifted, and another well-dressed lord came in, with a crowned skull embroidered on his robe.

The lord looks happy:

"I have already found out the origin of that car."

"Oh?" The lords sat upright, ready to wait for the lord's explanation.

The lord of the crown and skeleton didn't speak, and another person got into the tent.

This man was thin and small, a few circles smaller than the lord in the military tent, with a thin and wretched face.

"This man used to be a tomb robber. He stole into my unfinished tomb and was beaten half to death by the mechanism. He was originally asked to come here to work as a laborer and use his military exploits to atone for his sins. I didn't expect him to know this carriage." The lord of the crown skeleton Laughing, "Say, which carriage is it?"

"You are so happy, isn't it the car of the Golden Dynasty?" Some lords speculated.

The soldier who robbed the tomb said: "It's a chariot from the Golden Dynasty, but I saw the picture, it's a chariot specially used in the hero's cemetery."

"The cemetery?" The lords looked at each other and suddenly smiled easily.

"Who am I? It turns out that I am also a tomb robber." The lords suddenly became more confident, "It seems that they can arrange the story of King Nefeli again."

The lord of the Dragon Emblem, who has always had a bad complexion, turned slightly pale:

"It seems that Nefeli is just a woman who can bluff. First, she used the name of Malinia as a rotten knight, and then used the Golden Dynasty to bluff people. But the chariot is indeed powerful, so arrange more bows and crossbows." , as long as the horse can be killed, the carriage is not a problem."

"That is to say, a king who can only scare people with the armor of a rotten knight can have no powerful subordinates." The lords were relieved, "Let's send someone to call the battle and laugh at them."

The lords called their subordinate generals to prepare to launch another siege battle against Hyde Fortress, but one of the generals came in and spoke first:
"My lord, there is a weak line of defense reserved earlier, and a carriage passed by."

"Did the fish bite the hook?" The eyes of the lords lit up.

The terrain of the fog forest is indeed complicated, but they have experts behind them to help them, and they actually know the topography of the fog forest well.

It is true that due to the limited force, it is impossible to guard all the main roads in the Wulin completely, but quite a few seemingly weak links are just bait to lure the people in Fort Hyde to go in that direction.

"Are you sure it's the fish biting the hook?" asked the Lord of the Crown Skeleton.

"There are only ten carriages, and they are going to Fort Hyde from the outside." The soldiers continued to report.

"Only ten?" The lords were a little disappointed, "It seems that the other side is also testing... Wait, go to Fort Hyde?"

The soldiers nodded: "Judging from the rut marks, it should be supplies. Moreover, it is not people who transport the carriages, but puppets."

"Stop it." The lord of the dragon coat of arms ordered, "It seems that they will not be able to hold on."

"After you stop it, check it out first, don't bring it here directly." The Crown Skeleton Lord said, "Maybe there is a fraud."

An hour later, the carriage was delivered to the lord's military tent, and the smell of oil from the carriage spread throughout the entire military camp, going deep into the entrance well of the Shifra River next to it.

The soldiers raised their chests and saluted the lords:

"My lord, it has been checked and there is no problem. It is indeed supplies, mainly food, and food for horses."

The lord looked at the soldier in surprise:
"How did you check?"

The soldier wiped the greasy corner of his mouth: "We ate everything!"

The lords smelled the alluring aroma coming from the carriage, and looked at the chicken, duck and fish in the carriage without a single dead body, swallowed, and hesitated to speak.

"Forget it, let's divide it up." The lord said helplessly, "After eating and drinking, they will launch a general attack. Since they want to take the risk of sending supplies from outside, they should already be powerless to resist."

"Where did they send so many good things? They cooked them directly." The lords wondered, "We don't get that kind of treatment."

"Who knows." The lord in scales grabbed a pig's leg and gnawed it boldly.

"You are a lord, and you eat their leftovers?" Some people couldn't bear it.

With a greasy pork leg stuffed in his mouth, the lord in scales mumbled:
"Poverty is particular, I am willing, even poisoning me to death is worth it."

On that day, the allied forces of the lords held a carnival, which was mobilization before the war. They followed the ancient rituals of their respective lord families, feasting on fish and meat, or singing and dancing.

==========
"Where are your supplies?" Hyde asked Wuming, his eyes were a little straight.

Three days have passed since Wuming said that the supplies were coming soon.

As the lord of the city, Hyde set an example, and gave up all his food to the people in the city.

He was going to keep his stomach waiting for the supplies that Wuming said.

As a result, the wait was three days.

"It should be delivered." Wuming was not in a hurry.

Hyde hasn't seen Wuming eat in the past few days, but he is still full of energy, checking the food and water supply in the city from time to time.

In the past few days, he has been very interested in the drama ballads that the people of gold love, and he has learned a few of them, singing them on the tower every day.

Wuming stood on the top of the tower again, ready to sing a song, but suddenly stared down: "Here we come."

"The supplies are here?" Hyde hurriedly looked over.

Sure enough, ten carriages slowly approached Fort Hyde from a distance.

"Why are there only horses and no escorts?" Hyde immediately sensed something was wrong.

"I used a puppet to transport it." Wuming said.

"There are no dolls either."

Hyde was talking when the carriage suddenly fell apart.

The broken body of the doll and scattered corpses rolled to the ground along with the wheels.

"Is this your supplies?" Hyde pointed to the blood on the ground.

"What do you think?" Wuming took out a telescope and looked into the distance.

In the foggy forest, dense crowds of people, like a colony of ants, gradually approached the attack range of the ballista of Hyde Fortress.

Looking at the soldiers coming out of the foggy forest from a distance, Hyde's face turned pale, and he quickly called the soldiers in charge of guarding the city:

"Did they attack the city on this scale before?"

The soldier shook his head: "There have never been so many before."

As the coalition forces on the opposite side came out of the foggy forest, a huge banner was unfurled, spread out on the ground, and displayed to the people in the city.

Hyde clenched his fists when he saw the pattern on the flag.

An inverted inverted eagle pattern was displayed in front of Hyde Fortress, and was trampled by those cavalry horses. When passing by, several war horses also excreted feces, which painted the upper left corner of the flag in yellowish brown.

"These shameless people, they are insulting us!" Hyde was suddenly furious.

Wuming didn't respond. He concentrated on observing the feces and nodded with satisfaction:

"It appears to have been delivered."

　Tsk, after the update, I found out that it was past twelve o'clock, ah, it's a pity for my leave note
