Chapter 238
"We withstood the enemy's night attack," said Duke Andev, pointing to the map in the area, "and won a complete victory."

Lauren and Master Masafei stood in front of Duke Andev.

"Your warriors are really admirable. You actually found the enemy in such a late night." Duke Andev praised.

"That's awesome, duke," Lauren looked up, "I only know that we lost eleven warriors that night."

"Such casualties are acceptable." Duke Anderf said.

Master Masafei slammed the round table heavily, and said: "We must withdraw the Leidon people on the line of defense."

Lauren nodded slowly.

There are only more than 300 warriors of the Griffon clan from the Kingdom of Leidon.

The loss of 11 people in the night raid last night is already considered very lucky. If there are a few more times, if there is a little bit of misfortune, I am afraid that when Marton River City is completely defended, there will be very few Garda warriors left.

Duke Andev raised his eyebrows, his complexion was not good-looking.

There is no doubt that he arranged nearly a hundred Leidon people to guard the first line of defense, and he also had the mentality of reducing the loss of his own army.

Duke Anderf was planning to delay with clever words, only to hear Lauren speak.

"Duke, in fact, we Leidon people can give up this city of Marton River." Lauren said calmly.

Duke Andev's eyes froze, and he looked at Lauren in disbelief.

"The iron mines in this city will be handed over to the king for the next five years, and [-]% of the taxes will be paid. An iron mine will also belong to the royal family,"

Lauren's tone was gentle, but there was no room for negotiation.

"It is almost useless for us Leidon people to occupy this place, and we have to suffer for this land. Many of our clansmen have clamored to abandon this place and return to Mairn."

Once Roren and his army leave Marton River City, a full one-third of the defenders in the city will be reduced.

Duke Anderf immediately thought of the consequences of Lauren's departure.

The Duke came back to his senses and tried to promise: "I will draw money from the city's treasury to reward your brave men."

"That can't make up for our sacrifice." Master Masafei stared, his beard twitching.

Seeing the ferocious combat capability of the Leydon people again, the Duke knew that losing this group of people would definitely deal a heavy blow to his morale, and Marton River City would definitely change hands again.

"Okay, I promise to send my elite to garrison the defense line and call your warriors back." The Duke sighed and said helplessly.

In the two days after the Verdusan night attack, the plain in front of the stone bridge was peaceful.

The Redonians had withdrawn from the first line of defense, and those stationed there were replaced by Duke Anderf's soldiers.

After the night attack, the city fell into a chilling atmosphere. Everyone knew that the Verdusan people would organize an attack again, but no one knew the exact time, so they could only wait slowly. The time was so long and tortured.

On the morning of the two days, the true believer soldiers followed the arrangements of the officers, stood under the flag, and completed more and more fanatical oaths and masses.

Duke Andev organized the accompanying priests and asked them to declare over and over again that killing the Verdusan people is not considered killing, or in other words, killing people is under the permission of the Lord, not only will they not go to hell, but there is still a seat in the kingdom of heaven. them.

Soldiers wore chain mail and held weapons, preparing for the upcoming battle in the stormy atmosphere.

Early on the third day, the Verdusan organized a massive offensive.

With the sound of the sentry horn, Roren and Duke Anderf boarded the top of the city.

From a distance, they saw tall and abrupt triangular buildings rolling over the plain.

The two huge counterweight trebuchets, amidst the shouts, battle roars, and drums and horns of the Verdusan people, walked on the ground like slow giant beasts.

Up and down the catapult, there are several dwarf artisans to watch over.

It was the first time for the defenders of Marton River City to see such a huge catapult. As the catapult approached, the heart on the left chest trembled in panic. Machine, shouting "behemoth, monster!" in local dialect over and over again

The horns of Marton River City sounded one after another, and Duke Anderf ordered the archers to bend their bows and set arrows. After the order was given, the arrows were scattered all over the sky.

The Verdusan people had expected such an offensive for a long time, and the heavy infantry with large shields walked in front, followed by tall ladders.

The swishing arrows flew down, and many landed on the ground or on the large shields of the infantry, as well as the outer wall of the ladder.

"Don't be afraid of the enemy's arrows. Under the blessing of the Lord, these Camilians can't hurt you at all. Don't forget, the Lord will not protect our enemies!"

Duke Kean, who directed the Verdusan attack, was fully armed, holding a long sword, riding a tall horse, followed by several knights, repeating this sentence over and over again to inspire the morale of the army.

The Verdusan people leaned against a giant beast-like counterweight trebuchet, which was built by the dwarf craftsmen hired by the Duke of Koan's organization and the Verdusan craftsmen.

Duke Ke'an was quite satisfied with this, and based on his knowledge, he deduced that as long as the trebuchet came into range, the city wall of Marton River City would be breached within a few days.

At that time, the difficulty of siege will be greatly reduced.

The defenders of Marton River City were waiting in full battle. Duke Andev temporarily opened the city gate and sent people to help the guards on the defense line.

Another round of arrows flew by, harassing the Verdusan people.

The progress of the Verdusan people did not slow down because of this. When the extremely huge counterweight trebuchet came to a certain distance, the Verdusan people collectively stopped and took a defensive posture.

Then, there was a strange silence on the battlefield.

The counterweight trebuchet moved slowly, and there was a huge leather package wrapped in its net, and something hit it inside.

Duke Kean gave an order, and the Verdusan people who were pulling the catapult suddenly let go. Under the huge potential energy, the leather package in the catapult flew out, and did not hit the city wall, but fell into the city. There was a dull sound on the ground.

Just when everyone was complacent that the trebuchet missed the city wall, the brave Ledon people approached the leather package.

Dorsak held his shield close to the leather package, and he smelled a foul stench coming from the package.

When he split the package with a loud roar, the contents of the package leaked out.

It was full of broken limbs and wreckage, mixed with the smell of corpses, and flies and other flying insects jumped out, flapping their wings and coiling around.

Dosak's face turned pale quickly, and he suddenly lost strength from his feet.

In the wreckage of severed limbs, the head of the younger brother Shaq slumped to the ground feebly, his eyes wide open, and he died with regret.

　Thanks to Bilan Xiaolu for the 1500 starting coin reward, and thanks to the 17th black cat for the 500 starting coin reward
