On the Seven Towers

Outside a medium-sized city, flags were fluttering and swords and guns were like a forest. The city wall is more than five meters high, which is considered a very low wall in this world.

There was no one on the top of the city, because mortar shells kept coming from below, hitting the top of the city one after another, causing sparks to explode. The soldiers in the city were frightened by the bombing, although the opponent only had five cannons. But the power of this unprecedented weapon was astonishing, and it had completely destroyed their morale.

The city lord was hesitating whether to surrender outside the city, but saw that the army outside the city had already organized a charging team. The more than a hundred warriors in the lead were taller than the warriors behind them. These tough warriors only wore simple leather armor, with thick tendons bulging out from the leather armor, full of oppressive force. With a sense of power, they held axes and giant swords in their hands, waving gestures towards the city, and letting out loud howls.

Berserker!

The city lord has never seen an organized army of berserkers. He has only heard about the power and madness of these warriors. Unexpectedly, the count actually sent such a terrifying team to his remote battlefield.

I heard that even the worst berserker has low-level strength, and if he becomes berserk, his strength will be doubled. Even thinking about it, he knew that such a team was definitely not something that his rabble could contend with.

He hurriedly ordered one of his subordinates to wave the flag of the Temple of Nature and go out of the city to surrender to the opponent.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the envoy left the city through the side gate, he was blown to pieces by a fireball flying towards him. In panic, the city lord saw the woman on the hillside opposite the city making a slit-throat gesture towards him, not even prepared to give him a chance to surrender.

This was the team that Count Carlos used to attack the city of Gronia on the eastern front. The woman on the hillside is naturally Selinda, she is the leader of the count's partial division.

This is already the third city Selinda has attacked. The two cities had basically not experienced any fighting before and were directly occupied by her. And Gronia, a small city leading to the eastern seaport, was their first city to actually launch a siege.

When Selinda and Li Jia set out from Ariak, they only had more than a thousand troops. Among them, more than a hundred berserkers and five mortars obtained from the Chinese are what they rely on most.

However, Selinda soon showed her aristocratic nature. After she conquered a city, she recruited a large number of farmers and citizens from the surrounding areas to join her army. It's not that her army is popular, but that she uses coercion, inducement, and coercion to win over many people. On the other hand, spend a lot of money to recruit all the mercenaries you meet on the road. After passing two cities and several small towns, her team swelled up like a balloon. When she arrived at the gates of Gronia, her team already numbered more than 3,000 people. Although the quality cannot be complimented, at least the momentum is very scary. Li Jia criticized the way he recruited soldiers, but Selinda said that this was the way nobles had always fought.

"If you can let the Chinese equip us with air guns and pneumatic cannons in large numbers and train the army like you do, I don't have to arrest these people into our ranks. But now, you let me use a few small pistols and five mortars , learn how to fight in your way?

Don't think I'm cruel. You should play the way you want with the cards in your hand. This is a natural thing, not something you or I can solve by just opening our mouths. "

So Li Jia could only watch Selinda and use the traditional method of nobles to rally a team.

Standing on the hillside opposite the city, Li Jia said: "The lord opposite is obviously going to surrender, why did you blow his envoy into the sky?"

Selinda tossed the cloak behind her and looked impressive. She said sternly: "I gave him a day to think about it and told him the consequences of not surrendering. He has been turning a deaf ear to my words, so you can't blame me. Keep your word now.

Isn't trustworthiness one of the most important qualities of a commander? "

Li Jia clenched his fists and his voice trembled: "Do you really want to massacre the city? But you could have asked him to open the city gate with just one sentence."

"I gave him a chance, but he didn't give himself a chance." Selinda turned back and pointed at the soldiers who had assembled down the slope, "As their lord and coach, I have promised them what they can get. When When the Lord of Gronia rejected my goodwill, everything in this city had actually been allocated to them. Yes, burning, killing and looting was an inevitable outcome, because all the lives and wealth in this city had been lost. Into the hands of my warriors.

Can I take back from them what I have given them? If these wealth are not given to these warriors who are loyal to us, should they be allowed to remain in the hands of those who oppose us? "

"But... in addition to wealth, we can also keep human lives and use them for other purposes." Li Jiadao.

"Letting them die is their best use. There will be a tough battle in the Antolia city behind. My father never expected us to take down this strong city. But, I have to show him, see to my strength and abilities.

Therefore, our elite warriors are in urgent need of a battle, a small but decent battle to improve their status.

Those newly recruited people are still farmers holding hoes. Do you know how to turn them into real warriors? "

Li Jia knew the answer in his heart, but he couldn't bear to say it out loud.

But Serinda said without hesitation: "See blood! Only after they have killed people and seen blood, they can transform from a farmer to a warrior. This is more useful than any training. In the past, some people even ignited their fighting spirit in the process of killing people. I hope we have such good luck today."

At this time, a tall berserker walked up the hillside and reported to Serinda: "Lord Serinda, a section of the city wall has collapsed. We should be able to organize a charge. I believe that as long as we rush in, these garbage in the city will be scattered. Lord, just give the order and wait for our good news!"

Serinda said: "Lumiere, convey my order, the attack begins! I don't want any property in the city, and give it all to the soldiers who rush into the city!"

"Yes, lord! I will seal off the city lord's mansion!" Lumiere said.

"Very good, go ahead!" Seeing Li Jia's pale face, Serinda said, "Dear, just get used to it. You can't accept this yet because you don't have the heart of a commander yet."
