Blood Dragon

37 knots

No one noticed that in the rear of the army, the former knight captain who had just been dismissed did not run to the logistics troops, but made a small turn and ran to an open field.There, Luke and his small team are waiting for him.

Luke has seen what happened. "Good job, captain. I will definitely fulfill my promise and speak well for you in front of the Duke of Lane. But you still leave with me now, otherwise someone will be against you."

They rode away.

Ashurfat is doomed now, but there is still Leo... It doesn't matter, tonight, another move he arranged will come into play.He secretly gave Leo a bottle of wine.As long as Leo drinks it... Once he dies, the coalition army will be leaderless, and then Ryan can take over the entire army without any difficulty.As for Thomas... According to the investigation results after his subordinates sneaked in last night, Thomas will not live for more than a month.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the former knight captain behind him.It was really unexpected that Ashurfat could be dealt with so easily. It was very accidental and very lucky.

Ashurfat, if you want to blame it, blame yourself for your bad luck.Luke thought as he rode his horse for a trot in a happy mood.Maybe you'll die without realizing what's going on.A knight is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he can be bribed!It's not that difficult to buy someone who doesn't seem to be important, but is in a key position.

Of course, this chess piece can play a role immediately, which can only be attributed to luck.

"Fucked!" This was Ashuruffat's first subconscious thought.

They rushed out of the aisle of the city gate, and what they saw was not the expected panicked and chaotic Paro soldiers, but the neat shooting of crossbows.Above their heads, in front of them, and left and right, there were all crossbowmen in ambushes. Steel arrows rained down, knocking down half of the knights in an instant.

Ashurfat knew he had been fooled.The Paro people sent a team of knights. The real goal was to lure the enemy into the city, wipe out a team of enemies, and boost their morale with a small victory.

The crossbowmen fell back, behind the pikemen.In all directions, there are sharp seam tips of spears.Even if a miracle happens and the knights break through the neat array of long spears, the soldiers will have a fence behind them, so they are not afraid of the impact of the horses at all.

"Turn back, retreat!" Ashuruffat tried to turn around.But right now the knights are crowded in this narrow city gate, the knights in front want to turn around, but the knights behind don't know what happened.People and people, horses and horses are crowded together, and there is no way to turn around and retreat for a while.

It is impossible for the Paro people to allow them to retreat!In the rear, a flame suddenly ignited.It should be that the ground was sprinkled with oil, or something else. In short, a wall of fire rose behind the knights.The frightened war horses ran around uncontrollably, and farther away, the huge iron gate was slowly falling.

"Get off the horse! Get off the horse! Use the horse to cover!" Ash Rufat shouted.Since the flames frighten the horses, it is now better to fight on foot than on horseback.And at this time, it is impossible to retreat. Only by working hard to seize the winch that controls the opening and closing of the city gate, and controlling the gate to allow friendly troops to enter the city, can there be a chance of survival.

The knights also quickly realized the harsh situation in front of them.They dismounted one after another, protected themselves with shields, and rushed towards the spear array blocking the way ahead.Ashuruffat took the lead, hiding behind the shield, hit the spear tip with the shield, stuck it, and chopped down the pikeman with his long sword.The other knights followed his example, using their shields to open the way, and slashing the enemy at close range with their long swords and battle axes, trying to cut a bloody path.

At the juncture of life and death, more than 100 Casillas knights gave full play to their fearless courage and tenacious fighting spirit, and forced their way through the spears and halberds of the Paro people, and went straight to the room on the left.When Langkou Castle was built, there were rooms for winches on the left and right sides behind the city gate, but in actual use, only the left side was placed with winches.

The two sides were entangled, and crossbows and muskets could not help for a while.In this kind of battle, the Paro people made full use of their overwhelming superiority in military strength.All the knights who were alone were attacked by several or even a dozen enemies and were swallowed up one by one.

Things are a little better for Ashurfat.Under the leadership of Ashurfat, the knights rushed forward desperately.Although the Paro people could not resist the impact of the knights from the front, they kept killing the knights in the rear from the side.The deeper you go into the enemy's line, the more knights you will die in battle.But after paying huge casualties, they finally tore a way through the thick Paro army.

The Paro people never expected that the knights could force their way out of the Paro infantry that was several times their own.The door of the winch room on the left is actually not equipped with much power.

Ashuruffat was overjoyed by this mistake.The entrance to the room is not big, and there is no one inside. As long as you can guard the room, no matter how many enemies outside, you will not be able to rush in for a while.

……

The iron gate that was completely closed suddenly began to rise again, but it only rose for a short period of time and then stopped immediately.

"Quick, fully cover the attack!" Seeing all this, Leo immediately understood that Ashrufat was still fighting hard in the city, and they had seized the city gate switch.At least they were already in that room, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for the city gate to be slightly open.There was no doubt that Paro and Ashuruffat were engaged in a deathmatch over the winch.

The drums were loud.Under the leadership of the knights, the militia rushed towards the city wall carrying simple ladders.The archers, on the other hand, shot down the city wall with rain of arrows to cover the siege troops.Leo didn't expect to rely on simple ladders and hooks to capture the castle, but at least he could contain the Paro troops and share the pressure of Aishuruffat.

……

"No, it can't be pushed!" The four knights who pushed the winch tried their best, but the damn machine didn't move at all.

This is definitely not normal. Under normal circumstances, one person is enough to open the city gate.To speed things up, sometimes two people are needed.If there is improper maintenance and lack of lubrication, three people are sometimes needed, but there is definitely a problem if four people cannot push it.

And at the beginning, the winch could be pushed, but it couldn't be pushed after only half a turn.Judging from this point, the Paro people should have stuck the iron chain with some kind of machinery.

Now, the [-] or so surviving knights are guarding the room.The Paro people couldn't rush in for a while, but the knights couldn't rush out either.The drums of war outside were loud, and the coalition brigade must be attacking the city wall, but they didn't know what was going on inside at this moment.

"No, I can't push it." A knight looked at the top of the room, where the iron chain extended. "Must be over there, half way up the wall. I remember there was a hole there for oiling the chains. The Paro's out there, stuck on the chains with something. Unless we rush out and get the man in place Kill it, or we won't be able to open the door at all."

The battle at the door continued.The infantry rushed in, but were killed by the well-placed knights.The Paro people are also in a hurry.They called in musketeers, first they used dense bullets to cover the shooting, and then they rushed in not ordinary infantry, but knights who also wore heavy armor.Relying on their superiority in numbers, they rushed so hard that Casillas knights couldn't stand up and retreated steadily.

In this case, let alone rushing out, even holding on is very difficult.The knights beside the winch looked at each other with despair in their eyes.

"Add a few more people and see if we can do it with brute force." Ashuruffat ordered loudly.He raised his long sword and rushed towards the door.But what is surprising is that before he rushed, the Paro people retreated, leaving corpses all over the ground, including several Paro knights who retreated slowly.

The move was puzzling, as the Paro were so close to breaking through the defenses.They called in a magician?No, it's impossible.Before the start of the battle, Aishuruffat used three magic-breaking scrolls in a row, and the magicians could do nothing in a short time.

But Ashuruffat immediately understood why the Paro people were retreating.Without even taking a breath, burning fire balls were thrown in one by one.These fireballs didn't know what they were, and they produced a lot of thick smoke as soon as they landed, filling the entire space in a blink of an eye.The thick smoke not only made people unable to breathe, but even hurt their eyes.

"Cough...cough...the smoke...is poisonous..." a knight said struggling.Armor can resist swords and spears, but it has no effect on smoke.There's no place to hide here either.In a blink of an eye, the knights fell down one by one, their faces turned blue, and black blood flowed from their noses and corners of their mouths.The dying knights grabbed their throats hard, but their bodies became stiff uncontrollably.Smoke filled the entire space, and even the four knights who pushed the winch were dead, and they were still trying in vain to push the winch before they died.

Ashuruffat also felt choking, but he found that he didn't have any other discomfort.

"Master, the danger level is as high as 70.00% five... You have to rush out, there is no other way." Carrie said in her mind. "You can wait a moment. There should be musketeers outside now, and they will leave in a while."

I don't know if it will be long or short.But when the smoke cleared, the Paro rushed in again.

"There's one more! There's only one left!" shouted the Paro in the lead, charging forward with a spear.

Ashuruffat's reaction was much faster than he expected. The magic long sword cut off the tip of the spear, and then the second sword cut off his head.But in this short moment, three Paro people rushed in.It cannot be kept by one person.Although one Paro soldier after another fell under the sword, Ashuruffat was still forced to retreat steadily.

Twenty or so Paro soldiers had rushed in and besieged him.There were no other people behind, but Ashurfat knew that as long as they ran out and shouted, there would be a steady stream of reinforcements immediately.

"Master, you must use magic..."

The effect of the Demon-Breaking Scroll still exists, and the wind of magic is chaotic. At this moment, if you use magic, you will be killed by the reaction force of magic.But Ash Rufat immediately realized what kind of magic Carrie had made him use.Black magic does not come from the wind of magic, but from the energy accumulated in his own body. The magic-breaking scroll can make it invalid, but it cannot make it backfire.

But to wake up the remains of the dead knights is to desecrate these knights who died in battle.

"Master, think about it, what is their dying wish? This is not sacrilege! You don't need to drive them to do something they don't want to do." In her head, Carrie explained.

A Paro behind suddenly let out a cry of terror as a dead man suddenly grabbed his feet.Then, the dead man climbed up, staggered close to him, and stuck his neck tightly with his cold hands.The yelling spread immediately, as many dead men got up and became entangled with the Paro soldiers.

Ashuruffat took the opportunity to rush out, there are not many people in Paro outside, as long as he can kill that stuck person, he can...

Then he saw a cannon pointed at him, the poker already stretched over the fire door.
