Viscount Horace stood on the top of the castle tower, looking at the black spots in the distance, his legs began to tremble.
"Coming."
"It's the army of the Ember Kingdom!"
"They're coming!"
Knight Mitra stood quietly aside, holding a sword in his hand and looking resolute - he was ready to fight and die for the lord he was loyal to.
"Will we die?"
"Tempus on top"
The soldiers in the castle were also terrified. The army of Burning Ember Kingdom has now become a being that can stop children from crying at night, and has even become a symbol of death. According to legend, they are simply invincible.
Magnificent and impassioned music sounded in the distance, as if heralding the arrival of a terrible enemy.
These guys didn't know that this was a bored player carrying a stereo, humming a song, and playing the BGM of "Victory".
The air inside Belon Castle became deathly silent, and everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the enemy's arrival.
"Is it finally here?"
"What will the legendary evil dragon army be like?"
Knight Mithra murmured to himself, having imagined an extremely suffocating picture in his mind——
Countless ferocious dragon-shaped hobgoblins and ogres appeared on the horizon, letting out menacing war roars that made the earth tremble and the mountains frighten.
This was not his pure imagination, but what the fleeing soldiers themselves said.
However, the next scene far exceeded their expectations and made them feel——
Somewhat inexplicable?
Only about a hundred people were seen sparsely appearing on the distant horizon.
They didn't have any formation, they just rushed forward like a group of scattered headless flies.
"What is this."
"What?"
Carefully observing the enemy in the distance, the battle-hardened Knight Mitra felt even more puzzled.
Under normal circumstances, sophisticated standard armor is an important criterion for measuring the combat effectiveness of an army, but the enemies in front of them were wearing all kinds of clothes, and some even went into battle naked.
"Are you kidding me? Can such a messy thing destroy the coalition forces?"
"The legendary Scourge—is that all?"
"What, it feels worse than the guards in the city."
The soldiers on the tower also relaxed from their tension and even started chatting.
There are nearly 600 family soldiers stationed in Belon Castle. According to Northland military practice, it is difficult to capture such a strong castle without more than three times the strength of the troops - unless the opponent can defeat a hundred with one.
But looking at the players' lazy appearance, no one can associate them with the invincible "Evil Dragon Legion".
The only thing that may need attention is the wyvern in the sky.
"WHAAAAAA!"
"Attack on the city!"
"Death to the little thief of the North!"
At this moment, the music had reached its climax, and the players began to cheer loudly, crying and howling.
The soldiers on the city walls and towers raised their bows and arrows and aimed them at the players on the ground.
And Mitra also stood at the forefront, staring coldly at these "rabble" and said loudly:
"Get out of here, outsider!"
"This is the territory of the Lott family!"
"Even with the help of the Evil Dragon Familiar behind you, reckless bandits like you can't defeat the indestructible Beron Castle!"
Among the players, the player nicknamed [Gustav] looked at the knight on the tower and said angrily:
"This NPC is so annoying. We have already fought at the door and still have to be tough here."
"You like to talk, don't you?"
"Damn it, give him a shot!"
Gustav pushed the cannon beside him, calculated the angle, and began to load the cannonballs - he was a member of the Mechanicus and was very familiar with these things.
A loud bang shook the wasteland.
"Boom!"
The dark cannonballs drew a beautiful arc in the air and headed straight for the city tower.
"I, Honorary Knight Mitra, hereby advise you." Mitra was still speaking generously just now. He only heard a piercing scream, and the next moment, a huge cannonball fell a few meters next to him. position, and then suddenly exploded.
"Boom——"
Rolling smoke and dust kicked up.
That half of the towers collapsed, broken stones were everywhere, and the whole castle seemed to be shaking.
The ground was also littered with severed limbs and corpses covered with scorch marks. Dozens of soldiers were killed by the explosion.
However, the Knight of Mitra managed to save his life. He wore full plate armor and had several people as human shields, allowing him to survive the explosion.
"Cough, cough."
Mitra climbed out of the ruins. He looked at the mess around him, feeling the severe pain all over his body, and his face was filled with disbelief.
"This, what is this."
Mitra's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He finally found that he was deceived by appearances and understood why the army of the Ember Kingdom was "invincible".
"What is this?"
"How could it be. Such a long distance."
"O Gods, the army of the Burning Kingdom is indeed invincible."
Just a test by the players made all the soldiers in the castle tremble with fear. The castle they relied on to defend now lost all sense of security in it.
"Dangdangdangdang——"
The magnificent BGM sounded again, this time it was "aLIEz" known as the "nuclear explosion divine song".
"Ahhhh——"
"Brothers, prepare to charge!"
"It's burning, it's burning!"
The players cheered and rushed to charge.
Gustav held a cigarette in his mouth, patted the hot barrel, and cursed angrily in a low voice: "Damn, it's fucking crooked."
"Keep them away!"
"Kill them!"
Mitra endured the severe pain all over her body and raised her sword, shouting loudly.
"Quick! Quick!"
"Fire the arrow!"
Facing these players who rushed up with strange screams, the soldiers on the city walls and arrow towers hurriedly shot arrows and threw boulders condescendingly.
These methods can be said to have been unfavorable in previous defensive battles.
But this time it didn't work.
Most of the players participating in the siege battle were veterans of the internal beta test, and their strength basically reached the level of professionals above level five. Ordinary attacks could not do anything to them.
For example, the famous monk player [Dawei Tianlong]
He used the monk's high mobility to dodge back and forth in the rain of arrows pouring down from the city wall, and from time to time he also used his ability to deflect missiles to reflect the arrows back.
"Fly over the eaves and walk over the wall!"
Dawei Tianlong shouted loudly, and with just a tap of his toes, he easily climbed up the several-meter-high city wall.
"The poor monk is here to kill monsters again!"
Surrounded by more than a dozen elite soldiers, he did not panic at all. Instead, he laughed and punched countless people around him. Each punch was accompanied by a ray of energy, which was injected into the soldiers through the armor.
"Resonant Qi: Punch!"
Immediately afterwards, Dawei Tianlong shook his hands, detonating all his energy.
"Resonating Air: Explosion!"
"Boom!"
Just hearing a loud noise, the energy in the soldiers' bodies was suddenly detonated. Almost all of them bled from their orifices and turned into bloody corpses and fell backwards.
The ring-shaped smoke spread, and only Dawei Tianlong was left standing around. He even smiled and showed his white teeth.
"Haha, the poor monk brushed hard again. It feels good and comfortable."
Mitra looked at the players showing off their magical powers, and a strange thought suddenly came to his mind.
They are not fighting.
But playing. (End of chapter)
