Chapter 920 Six? Monster Siege

"Don't be afraid, we're here to watch the battle, we won't get in."

Chios turned over and jumped off the horse, smiled and held out his hand to Meili.

His assurance made Mei Li look a little better.

Staying near the battlefield may risk others being involved, but here in Chios, there is no need to worry.

The strength shown by Chios along the way gave Mei Li such a sense of security.

Facing the wolf cavalry outposts trying to outflank them, using only one sword to deflect incoming arrows and kill multiple enemies approaching, at the same time, there is still room for distraction to make some funny jokes.

Mei Li, who was being held by the hand and helped off the horse, saw a gentle smile in front of her, and her clothes were neat and not stained with blood. She was not at all like a young man who had just experienced repeated battles. She couldn't help but have a ridiculous thought in her heart...

If he hadn't brought him with him, this person might have been able to single-handedly enter the monster army, take the commander's head and return safely.

Of course, she quickly dispelled this unrealistic idea.

Even a Paladin might not be able to do that kind of thing, so why do I think Chios can do it?

Did I unknowingly beautify his image...

Thinking of this possibility, Meili's heart beat slightly faster.

She looked at Chios nervously, and when he let go, he took out carrots from the horse sack to feed the horse. She didn't notice the strangeness here, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After Chios finished feeding Talos, he patted the horse's neck to let him graze nearby. When he turned to face Mei Li, what he saw was a face that seemed to be frozen in ice and snow.

Even colder than when we first met in the tavern the night before.

"What's the matter, are you in a bad mood?"

Faced with Chios' concern, Mei Li subconsciously looked away.

"It's okay, please don't mind me..."

"?"

Rao Chios had dealt with countless women, so he couldn't see what Meili was hiding for a while.

Forget it.

Although he should be able to understand it after a trial, but now he is focused on more important things and has no interest in delving into it for the time being.

He turned his gaze to the battlefield not far away.

On the peninsula, under the command of the half-orcs, the goblins braved bows and arrows and climbed up the long ladder outside the city wall.

The monster didn't carry any other large siege equipment. Even if it had, those bulky equipment couldn't pass through the stone bridge and be transported to the opposite side of the river.

The ant-attached attack, relying on numbers to overwhelm the defense line of the defenders, is their only choice.

However, this is not easy.

swoosh swish...

The holy sergeant fired calmly through the crossed arrow holes in the battlements.

Because the monsters were so numerous and dense, they didn't even need to aim carefully. They just pulled the crossbow trigger or let go of the bowstring at will, and one hapless victim fell down screaming.

The goblin archer below tried to fight back with a short bow, but it was almost impossible to accurately pass through the narrow, hair-thin arrow holes from a distance, and hit the soldiers hiding behind the battlements.

Hundreds of arrows tied with sharp flakes of stone hit the battlements, tinkling like hail.

The momentum is astonishing, but unfortunately the results are not obvious.

It is difficult to hit in a straight line, and the projectile will only go over the top of the city and land on the open space outside the city. The arrows of the attacking side have almost zero actual effect other than deterrence.

To put pressure on the defenders, you still have to rely on the ascending troops.

Orc warriors understood this too.

They ordered the goblins to set up siege ladders one after another along the city wall. At the same time, they took the lead, biting their knives and axes in their mouths, holding their shields high in one hand to block the arrows, and climbing up the ladders.

swoosh swish...

The monster's shield can withstand most of the bows, but it is powerless against the crossbows shot from the middle and close range.

Boom!Click!

Multiple diamond-shaped arrow clusters pierced through the wooden shield, and they didn't get stuck until the arrow shaft was submerged more than halfway.

Some of them even plunged into the arm of the shield bearer, tearing the tendons of blood vessels, and digging through the bones like steel nails.

"...!"

Bearing the severe pain of their arms being pierced by sharp objects, most half-orcs endured it with just a muffled grunt, and their climbing speed did not decrease at all.

Roar ah ah ah ah! ! !

When they came to the end of the long ladder, they jumped up to the top of the wall with all their strength, and let out a deafening battle cry.

Fortunately, the crusaders who have been fighting monsters for many years were not forced back by the enemy's momentum, but were already prepared to stab their spears.

The multiple spear blades gleaming coldly in the sun pierced the half-orc warrior's shoulders, abdomen, and legs respectively.

Clang!when!

The half-orcs blocked with knives, axes and shields, but they still couldn't stop all the attacks.

They don't have tower shields in their hands, no matter how they defend, there will always be a flaw exposed.

then...

puff!

puff!puff!puff!

As the first lance broke through the lines, pushing forward to force the goblins off balance, more blades pierced their gaping bodies.

The blade of the gun was instantly dyed red.

Roar!Satalingu! ! !

The half-orc warrior didn't fall because of this, but became even more ferocious.

They are very resilient.

Even if he is wearing several wounds, as long as his head is not chopped off and his heart is not stopped, he can continue to fight until the blood runs dry.

Regardless of the fact that the gun blade is still going deep, tearing the body, and even piercing the back to completely penetrate himself, he ignores the blood gushing out of the body, throws down the shield, and strides forward with the blade high, trying to kill at least A human or two.

But things backfired...

"go ahead!"

The holy sergeant with a long spear not only did not retreat, but advanced forward.

Many people worked together to easily suppress the burst of strength from the dying half-orc, pushing him to the edge of the city wall.

Finally, when the half-orc warrior was suspended in the air, Qi Qi pulled out the spear blade forcefully.

Roar ah ah ah ah! ! !

With unwilling roars, more than a dozen orcs fell to the city.

Chios, who stood watching from a distance, seemed to be able to hear the sound of countless bones breaking.

The half-orc's sturdy body was as heavy as a boulder.

Goblins who have nowhere to dodge due to the dense formation must have had their spines broken...

The only thing that can be called lucky is that these unlucky guys don't have to endure the pain of hemiplegia for too long, and will soon be turned into a pile of rotten flesh under the trample of their companions.

Thinking of this, Chios turned his attention back to the city wall again...

After the crusader soldier with the long handle pushed the half-orc down, he immediately retreated to his original standby position. From his angle, he could only see the tip of his spear sticking out.

This is obviously to avoid being sniped by enemy bows and arrows.

After all, they were guarding the spaces between the battlements, and if they moved too far ahead they would lose cover and become a target.

"Good training."

Chios commented.

He knew that the crusaders would have to be elite after a drastic reduction in staffing.

However, it is one thing for individual soldiers to be brave, and it is another thing for the army to cooperate in actual combat.

In particular, long-handled weapons are not easy to deploy on the walls with limited range. When defending the city, it is far less convenient than matching swords and shields. Therefore, using it for defense will test the consistency of soldiers' coordination.

Originally listening to Alice tell about the past of the Crusaders, Chios felt that the former chief knight mainly relied on his own strength to fight.

Now, he has changed a bit.
