The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 820 Under the King’s City

Under Newins City, countless human captives who were bound by hemp ropes and followed the wilderness army southward were finally 'liberated'.

After loosening the ropes, ordinary humans, under the ferocious and terrifying eyes and threats of weapons from the wilderness warriors, pushed heavy wheelbarrows loaded with stones and sand towards the moat under the city of Newnes.

On the city wall, Earl Plank, the Grand Marshal of the Duchy of Rose and the only hereditary nobleman with the rank of Legendary Intermediate, had a serious face and a bit of unbearability in his eyes.

But seeing the huge flow of people slowly approaching the royal capital, Count Gangplank, who was responsible for the safety of the royal capital, finally gritted his teeth and issued a heavy order.

"Archers and rangers are ready to shoot!!"

"Anyone who comes within three hundred yards of the royal capital city wall can be killed!!"

"Yes!!"

The soldiers on the city wall also responded with some depression. After all, the people they wanted to shoot at this time were all subjects of the Rose Principality. They were ordinary people who had little fighting power and were being coerced. As soldiers who defended the country and the people, they were inevitably I feel a little sorry for the miserable human prisoners below the city.

"People below the city, listen, anyone who dares to set foot within three hundred yards of the royal capital will be shot without mercy!"

"Don't come any closer!!"

An officer on the city leaned over and shouted to the people below. Although he knew that what he was doing now would probably have no consequences, but even if it was just to make himself feel better and feel less guilty, they still had to remind the people below. of people.

"Forgive me!"

"Save us, Your Highness the King!!"

woo woo woo

There were cries and shouts, and some people wanted to turn back, but when they turned around, a javelin was shot, directly pinning these humans who were trying to escape from the dangerous place to the ground.

The human soldiers on the city wall felt guilty for the people below. The wilderness warriors below the city did not have any hesitation or mercy when they took action. If they wanted to achieve their goal at this moment, there could be no hesitation.

"Whoever dares to stop advancing or try to retreat will be killed!!"

The wilderness supervisory team issued stern orders in unison, and coupled with their tough and cold methods, the human captives who were in a dilemma finally had to continue pushing the wheelbarrow forward.

The soldiers on the city raised their javelins, long bows, and sharp arrows, aiming at the human people approaching below the city. They tried to take action several times but still failed to shoot the arrows in their hands.

"Archery!!"

"I order you to attack!!"

An officer saw that the human prisoners were approaching the moat under Lecheng, and began to tip over the improvised simple wheelbarrow and threw it into the five or six meter wide river. He couldn't help but yell at his men.

Scattered arrows floated down the city and landed among the crowd, causing wails. However, in fact, there were not many arrows that actually caused harm to the people under the city. Even when the officers fired the arrows, many soldiers still shot them. The water was deliberately released without any real intention of harming the lives of the human beings below.

And when the people below let out Sistilian wails out of fear, more human soldiers on the city wall were even less willing to shoot arrows and javelins in their hands. Because of their own beliefs, they still had great dissatisfaction with such behavior. conflict.

Over the years, there has never been such a large-scale act of using human people to attack cities and plunder lands in the human kingdom. Human countries that claim to besieging civilized societies have their own set of rules for fighting, and even the treatment of prisoners of war. There is a relatively civilized set of rules for exchange and exchange.

Now suddenly faced with the violation of rules brought about by the invasion of the wilderness, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary officers are somewhat painful and hesitant at this time.

"Spellcasters team, prepare powerful spells!!"

Count Planck turned back, and the struggle in his eyes had long been suppressed deep in his heart. The heavy burden on his shoulders could not be controlled by his actions and decisions that were benevolent as a woman.

The inner struggles of most of the fighters made Gangplank feel a hint of danger. At this moment, it was time for him, the coach, to stand up.

"People of the Principality of Rose, I'm sorry that we can't save you from your suffering, but Newins is the seat of the principality's royal family and the cornerstone of the principality's existence. Your actions have put the country in danger."

"So, as a general guarding the principality, I have to make a choice. I will bear the consequences of the mistakes and decisions made by our army today."

"Although we can't change your situation, please rest assured that I and my soldiers will escape for you for the rest of our lives from all the crimes this dirty and shameless group of uncivilized races have committed against you!"

"sorry!!"

Gangplank pulled out the war hammer behind him, raised it high and mustered all his strength to pour into the war hammer, and then slammed it into the human prisoners near the moat.

boom! ! !
  In the chaotic and crowded crowd, a hurricane exceeding Category 12 was set off. Countless weak humans were lifted up on the spot, rushed into the sky tens of meters, and finally fell far away dozens or hundreds of meters away, dying and unable to move for a long time.

What's even more miserable is that it was directly smashed into a pulp of varying sizes, mixed with the soft mud beside the moat, and became nutrients for the creatures in the river. In the next year or two, a large group of fat fish will surely grow.

The team of spellcasters on the top of the city no longer had any scruples at this time. The large-scale war magic they jointly cast shrouded the heads of the human prisoners, and soon thunder and fire rain wreaked havoc among the crowd.

The wilderness coalition forces in the distance just watched the human actions with cold eyes. They neither took the opportunity to launch an offensive nor wanted to help the human prisoners. Until most of the human prisoners sent up were damaged, many of them ran back to the wilderness army in panic and immediately He was chopped to the ground by the soldiers supervising the battle.

"Next batch!!" Ahmad had an expressionless face and waved his hand. A large number of human prisoners appeared behind the army. They carried simple bags and wheelbarrows on their shoulders and marched miserably to the front hell. Go.

Although countless humans were killed along the way, for this siege, the Wilderness and Centaur Legions still left more than 100,000 human prisoners to accompany them.

Anyway, these are considered free labor, and they can help transport the materials and grain collected along the way to the southern battlefield. This not only saves their own troops the labor of transporting materials, but also makes them somewhat useful.

But what these human captives cannot possibly know is that the reason why they can survive until now is because the Wilderness Alliance wanted to put a nail in the heart of the Rose Principality's military and people, and dampen their fighting spirit and determination.

After Count Plank expressed his stance and took action, many soldiers in the human army gradually followed suit and shot sharp arrows in their hands, but they did not expect that the Wilderness Alliance had prepared so much cannon fodder for them.

Groups of human cannon fodder were sent to the front line one after another. It was almost impossible for them to pose any threat to the tall and majestic royal capital. However, the human soldiers on the city wall had to raise their weapons and slaughter them one by one in front of their eyes. .

Once, twice, three times.
  Raising the bow and throwing the spear have become almost mechanical actions. The tens of thousands of human warriors guarding the North City on the city wall have gradually become numb. They seem to have become accustomed to such massacres. However, Count Planck, who is supervising the team on the side, There were several commanders approaching their faces, but they were not relaxed at all.

"it's time!!"

Among the continuous wilderness legions in the distance, Ahmed and Aaron looked at the hell-like scene on the front line from a distance, without any emotion at all regarding the deaths of tens of thousands of human prisoners due to the decisions they made. .

Aaron looked at the mountains of corpses piled up under the city in front of him. A moat that was originally clear blue waves was now dyed a strange red, and there was a hint of caution in his eyes.

"I also think it's just the right time!"

Ahmed nodded. After the two commanders reached a consensus, they raised a gesture and the waiting herald immediately lit a firework.

dong dong! !
  Two red fireworks exploded in the air and did not go out for a long time. Just as the fireworks were rising, the Wilderness Legion, who were standing opposite the east and west gates of King Newins City, suddenly launched a powerful offensive towards King Wanwang City. .

At the same time, the human prisoners of war under the North City were still filled up, although the most they could achieve was that their corpses would gradually block the moat, laying the foundation for the subsequent general attack of the wilderness army.

"What are they doing?"

Gangplank returned to the city wall, and after meeting up with a group of generals' staff and many powerful men, he looked gloomily at the huge movements coming from all directions.

The Royal City of Newins is no ordinary city. Ever since the founding of the Principality of Rose, every brick and stone in this city has been built with a lot of money. It has both strong anti-magic properties and extremely strong physical defense capabilities.

If the Namur Fortress occupied by the Green Field Tribe can be considered strong, then this royal city should be called a copper wall and an iron wall.

For such a city, relying solely on the primitive siege methods of the Wilderness Legion is really not enough to pose a big threat. As for the intelligence that Sozayi and the others brought back about the strong Centaur, it certainly made everyone more careful, but it was only That's all.

Even if the incarnation of the god takes action, with the temple building of the Lord of the Dawn in the city of Newnes, combined with the huge magic props that the duchy has built in the entire city, it is enough to counter the offensive of the incarnation of the god.

"They are probably hiding the true direction of the attack. The person who may be the incarnation of a centaur should be hiding in one of the siege armies."

Bishop Macaro, the main person in charge of the Rose Principality of the Church of Dawn, was speaking, and his consciousness was connected to a magic eye in the sky, overlooking the entire battlefield of the royal capital, trying to find the so-called strong centaur mentioned by Suozayi and others.

"And it's really unreasonable for them to send people to die like this. I'm afraid there are other plans behind this."

"Let Shirley be prepared to start purifying the corpses underneath as soon as the human siege in Beicheng stops."

"Then I'll ask the caster team to prepare fire magic to burn the corpses underneath!"

"Ah."

The strong men of the wilderness flew into the sky, and more than twenty figures in the royal city came to meet them. Finally, in the offensive and defensive battle of the royal capital, the strong human beings had a numerical advantage, but this did not scare the strong men of the wilderness. As soon as they came up, the two sides fell into a fierce fight again.

The human demigod Suo Zayi has been feeling a little frustrated in the past month. He was driven back to the royal capital by the barbarians they despised along the way. Not only did he not gain any military exploits, but he also lost several strong human beings.

Especially during several battles with Bugbear Allen, who had always looked down upon the group of archmages who relied on muscles to fight, he finally had to admit his defeat.

As a melee professional, the opponent almost suppressed me all the way during the fight with me. Although I relied on magic such as space and lightning displacement, it was difficult for me to be severely damaged by the opponent, but I also had no chance to use powerful magic√ Cause damage to the opponent.

Now that our own strong men not only have an advantage in quantity, but also have quality that can rival Allen and other strong men, Suo Zayi can finally cast spells calmly under the cover of his teammates, showing off the power of electric magic. He was trying hard to make amends with the bugbears for all the resentment he had accumulated some time ago.

But Suo Zayi was doomed to be disappointed. As the two strong men officially fought, he continued to search for the familiar figure and aura of the Bugbear while casting spells, but he never found the existence of the other party.

After losing the powerful help of Allen, the team of wilderness warriors did quickly fall into a disadvantage. However, this group of wilderness warriors had been prepared for a long time. Several heroes represented by Jiehe, the paladin and demigod, The human shield array formed by strong men such as shield warriors and strong men blocked most of the attacks of the strong human beings. Other strong men hid beside these defensive strong men to share the pressure for them.

Under the powerful offensive, it can be said that the strong men of the wilderness are retreating steadily. Although the overall situation can be maintained at this time, this is due to the overload and pressure of the front row such as Jie He. Once they are exhausted, time, which means that the strong man in the wilderness lost this confrontation.

The strong human beings were full of confidence, but Suo Zayi, who was at the core of the team, felt a little uneasy. If the strong bugbear did not appear at this time, could he have blended into the ordinary legions and prepared to attack the royal capital city defense? Woolen cloth?
  As soon as this idea arose in Suo Zayi's mind, he was rejected by himself. The walls of Newins Royal City were so strong that even if he used the most powerful magic attack, it would not be able to cause much damage to it.

If you want to destroy it with the power of a strong man alone, unless you are like the centaur who is very likely to be the incarnation of Qirong, using divine means, it is possible to cause certain damage to the royal city that has been built for thousands of years. It is conceivable that It is still impossible to destroy less than half of the city wall with one blow like the Seris Fortress and the Twin Forts did before.

As for the bugbear demigod whose strength he knew, even if he appeared under the city wall, it would not pose much of a threat to the royal city. Suo Zayi made this judgment rationally.
