Release that Witch - Chapter 453

[Chapter 446]

Longsong Fortress is located on a tributary of the Chishui River. The entire city is divided into two by the river. Most of the residents live on the west bank, while the east bank is compact farmland.

Unlike other big cities where the farmland is located in the outskirts, the towering walls of the fortress enclose the residential area and part of the farmland. It is not so much to resist evil beasts, but rather to prevent attacks of the same kind.

Even if the city is surrounded by layers of enemies, the fortress will not run out of supplies.

Because of this, the outer wall of Changge Fortress formed a break where the river entered the city, and several arm-thick blocking cables were hung between the two sections of the city wall. will slide into the river.

However, the western mainland is rarely attacked by fleets, so the iron cables have almost never been used, and this time is no exception.

Roland’s fleet sailed fast, and at dusk they could already see the outline of the fortress’ walls.

Beacon smoke still floats above the city, adding a bit of ink to the darkening sky.

“The enemy is mainly concentrated in the Lord’s Castle area. There are still a small number of militiamen fighting with the guards at the top of the city wall at the north gate, but it seems that they can’t hold on for long.” Lightning has already investigated the battle situation in the city clearly, and asked the prince in detail Huihui reported, “The number of people besieging the castle is about 200 people. The first floor has already missed. The opponent does have weapons similar to muskets, but they are completely different from the ones we use.”

“Is Pei Luo okay?” Roland is most concerned about the agent’s safety.

“He’s fine, just a little bit spooked, but…”

“But what?”

“His family has suffered,” Lightning said with a curled lip. “Maybe Mr. Pei Luo received the news in advance and recruited his father into the castle, but the rest of the relatives who stayed in the territory… including the countess, were treated by those nobles. The hostages who forced him to surrender were executed one by one.” The little girl paused, “I found an opportunity to fly into the castle to meet him and tell him that you will be arriving soon, but he only made one request to me.”

Roland nodded, “Speak.”

“eye for eye.”

There is an unwritten rule among the nobles, that is, people with titles are rarely killed. As the relatives of Earl Honeysuckle, most of them have the title of jazz.

But now the four families dared to completely tear their skins apart. Apart from their hatred of Honeysuckle for relying on Roland to earn a lot of benefits, another point may be the result of the forces behind it.

Roland can now basically confirm that the person standing behind the other party should be the new king Timothy Wimbledon—assisting the church in killing nobles and helping the king execute rebels are completely different in nature.

He looked towards the direction of the fortress, and said coldly, “Pass my order, the whole army will go straight into the city and occupy the pier!”

*******************

Aite heard footsteps under the city wall again.

He numbly raised his flintlock gun, aiming at the dark hole under his feet – this is the only passage from the inside of the city wall to the top of the wall. After the enemy captured the city gate, they launched several waves of attacks, but they failed to take down the northern part of the city wall. .

The battle lasted from noon yesterday until now. He never imagined that he could persist in the cold wind for such a long time, but when he saw the teammates who came to support him fall in a pool of blood one by one, he couldn’t stop thinking. Can’t think about anything else.

“They’re coming again?” A long gun was sticking out beside him.

Aite glanced sideways, and found that the person who came was his team leader, Tongshan.

“I heard something,” he replied weakly, “but it’s so dark now, I can’t tell how many people there are.”

“They also don’t know how many of us there are,” Copper Mountain reassured.

“Then…how many more?”

Tongshan hesitated, “Five, the crow just took its last breath.”

“Most of us won’t survive tonight,” At said bitterly.

From the fear and panic at the beginning to the numbness now, he finally understood the meaning of the instructor’s sentence “Only by experiencing real battles can you mature quickly”.

However, this did not bring any change to the predicament. Now there were only the last five people left in the three teams gathered together. Even if the enemy did not attack the top of the city, they would have been frozen to death on top of the lack of food and cold supplies.

“Is there any use in surrendering now?”

“Surrender?” Tongshan snorted, “Didn’t you hear what they shouted? Suppress the rebellion! Even if you surrender, you will only die. Why don’t you kill them here?”

Aite knew that the captain was right. Many of the soldiers of the Second Army who came to support yesterday had their heads chopped off after being caught—they were not nobles, so they naturally didn’t keep them for ransom.

It’s just…he was unwilling to die here.

The instructor had described to him all the good things in Border Town, and promised that as long as the month of demons was over, soldiers with good performance in the second army would be promoted to the first army, and they could also get a free new house.

There is plenty of food, well water that flows automatically when you open the valve, and heating that keeps the room hot without needing to light a fire…

He wanted to survive and go to Border Town to meet the miraculous things the instructor said.

“Come here!” Tongshan suddenly shouted and pulled the trigger.

With the fire from the muzzle of the gun, Aite saw the illuminated outlines of the enemies in the darkness—six or seven people were slowly crawling upwards holding their shields, and he could even see the terrified faces of the opponents.

Although the captain’s shot missed the target, it had pointed him in the right direction.

He aimed at the fleeting figure and fired.

The bullet hit the wooden shield, making a muffled sound, and one person screamed, followed by the sound of heavy objects rolling down the stairs.

Seeing that their whereabouts were exposed, the rest of the people rushed towards the exit desperately.

Copper Mountain was still reloading, his frozen hands slowing him down.

Aite retracted his body, and couldn’t help feeling a chill when he touched the gunpowder sac at his waist. The sack was empty, and he had used up all the gunpowder.

According to the usual training, the bayonet should be used at this time.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out the bayonet, and it took him a while to fix the sleeve on the gun. Before he had time to level the spear, the enemy running in front had already rushed out of the hole.

Tongshanguo broke the snatch and knocked him to the ground, but the second enemy who followed closely pierced the long sword into the captain’s chest with his backhand.

Aite’s mind was blank, and he subconsciously handed out the spear according to the training, but it stuck on the opponent’s shield. The enemy kicked him to the ground, and the gun was out of his hand.

Are you going to die here?

He raised his head in despair, only to find that there was a sudden shadow in the sky.

It should be difficult to distinguish such a dark thing on a snowy night, but this shadow is too close to him, like a collapsed night, falling towards him rapidly.

As the outline became clearer, Aite couldn’t help but widen his eyes, it was actually a huge monster!

He swore that he would only see such a terrifying monster in his nightmares. Its mouth was wide open, its head was bigger than that of a calf, and its wide wings could almost cover the entire wall.

The giant beast smashed directly in front of Aite, crushing the enemies who climbed out of the pit into meatloaf!

“Aw—————————————————————————————————!”

It made a deafening roar!
