Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 308: Retreat

Stull City

This is a small city in the south with a population of less than 20,000. It is located along the port to Posey City. It gradually developed mainly by providing supplies for the teams transporting goods back and forth.

Although the city walls were built as usual and basic defense facilities were arranged during the city building, the utilization rate was obviously not high. Apart from routine and perfunctory repairs, almost no one paid attention to it. After all, the city of Stour is located in the far south. It is still a thousand miles away from the southwest swamp, and dozens of miles away from the coastline. There is no need to worry about the trolls in the swamp. The sea tribe's attack will not go deep into this location. It is even further away from the orcs and ogres. , I have never seen it before, and it has always been safe.

The city's guards are also relatively lax.

But something seems to have happened today. The seawater brought by the huge waves directly flooded the low-lying areas along the line. The seawater spread directly to the corner of Stour City. Sea clans continued to emerge from the seawater and clung to the On the city walls, an attempt was made to break into the city.

Obviously, the Sea Clan was no longer satisfied with just taking down a few port cities. They began to try to attack some walled cities. However, it was obvious that the Sea Clan's siege battles did not go well. The waves caused by the tide spell At this point, it basically doesn’t have much power anymore. The water depth around an adult’s waist can only be used to facilitate the sea tribe’s advance. It is not of much help to siege the city. Moreover, the duration of the flood caused by the tide spell is also long. It won't be too long. When the water recedes, it will be embarrassing to become a sea tribe.

"Archer! Archer!"

"Let it go!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The training of these city guards is not very good, and some of their movements do not look very standard. They just barely draw their bows, aim and fire in one direction. However, there are too many sea tribes under the city, and these look a bit soft and flimsy. The arrow still caused a lot of casualties to the Sea Clan after falling from the seven or eight meter high city. After all, these ordinary Sea Clan warriors only had some protective gear made of seaweed and shells at most. The branch's resistance is almost nonexistent.

After hundreds of feather arrows fell, the seawater under the city was quickly dyed red, and corpses floated in the seawater.

However, the number of the Hai Clan is still too great. These casualties cannot stop the Hai Clan's advance. The garrison of this small town is only a few hundred, and with the temporarily mobilized young militia, there are only more than a thousand people. They are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, which means that the Sea Clan's siege ability is weak, so everyone is just competing against each other.

"Rolling log! Smash these monsters down on me!"

"Bang!"

An irregular log was carried by two soldiers and thrown towards the city, knocking down several Hai Clan soldiers who were climbing.

"Don't let them climb up! Blade and Shield Bearers!"

The Sea Tribe does not have any siege equipment, but they can scale the city wall directly with their sharp claws and the sticky substance secreted from their bodies. Although the speed is not fast, it cannot withstand their large numbers. Although they are hit by stones and rolling logs, It went down a lot, but there were still many sea tribesmen scaling the city wall, and the battle entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

"Chi!"

The Hai clan who had just climbed to the top of the city was pierced by a short spear with a short spear by a soldier on the city wall before he had time to show off. Then the soldier took a step forward and kicked the opponent to pull out the short spear. Blood spurted out from the wound. , the Sea Clan who had just climbed to the top of the city fell backwards to the ground and gradually died of life. The soldier turned his attention to the city wall again, looking for a new target.

At first glance, this soldier seems to be at least an elite, but in fact, this soldier is just an ordinary **** in the garrison. It is only the Sea Tribe's weak land combat power that makes him feel like a warrior in the army.

The combat effectiveness of the Sea Tribe is indeed inferior on land. As long as the human soldiers in the south are not on ships, most of them have a psychological advantage when facing the Sea Tribe.

"Kill!"

"Bang!"

"The patrol guards are coming up, stop him!"

Of course, not all Sea Tribes are so weak. The patrol guards among ordinary Sea Tribe warriors are quite capable of fighting. These big guys who are generally about two meters tall and armed with stone axes are not much worse than quasi-knights. After they climbed onto the city wall, they were completely unable to resist the local garrison who had been neglected for a long time.

"Up!"

Two or three soldiers guarding the nearby city gathered around and tried to deal with the patrol guard. Although the city of Stour was small, it was located next to an important traffic road, and the information was quite well-informed. During this period, Since then, even ordinary people have understood the attitude of the Hai Clan towards humans after breaking the city. It does not spare a breath of life, and the soldiers all know that they have no way out.

"Cang!"

"Bang!"

The leading sword and shield player tried to hold the patrol guard's stone axe, but there was obviously an absolute power gap between the two sides. The sword and shield player was beaten back several steps and exposed his flaw. He was bullied by other sea soldiers and suffered a blow. After a few heavy blows, he fell to the ground. As the patrol guards opened a gap, a steady stream of sea people climbed up, and the situation became precarious.

"Chi!"

A long sword with a green-grey fighting spirit flashed past. The patrol guard who was showing off his power just now had half of his neck cut off by the sword. He stopped moving instantly and fell straight to the ground.

"Knight Olson! Knight Olson is here!"

Knight Olsen is one of the only three knights in the city of Stur. Two of the knights have been entangled by the blood warriors of the Sea Clan and are completely unable to take action. Seeing that the Sea Clan is about to completely attack Once on the city wall, Knight Olson with his reserve team finally couldn't help but take action.

Although Knight Olson is only a junior knight and has a poor foundation in the quasi-knight stage. He is considered the weakest among the knights, but he is not a patrolling guard that even quasi-knights are reluctant to do. Those who could resist it, the three or four patrol guards who had just climbed up were no match for Knight Olson. When his fighting spirit exploded, he killed them in two or three strokes. The morale of the surrounding soldiers was also greatly boosted, and the situation seemed to suddenly change. It was reversed again.

"Master Priest, there is actually a knight in the human reserve team."

"Huh, boring trick."

"Get ready for the soldiers to attack. This time we will take down the human city in one fell swoop."

The priests were very confident in their words. Since the spellcasting ability of the Sea Tribe began to recover, the status of the priests has risen sharply. They have gone from being just respected in status but without any actual power to beings who truly have the right to speak. The bloodline warriors whose eyes almost reached the top of their heads now had to do his bidding, and he enjoyed this feeling very much. He is also willing to take action when the commander feels that the battle situation is difficult, so as to increase his prestige.

After an obscure spell, a nearly ten-meter water dragon suddenly appeared in the air, circled in a circle and headed towards Knight Olson, who was struggling to kill the patrol guard.

Knight Olson has already reacted, turning around and trying to block with the long sword in his hand, but Water Dragon Technique is already considered a high-level spell of the water system, although it is not as powerful as normal due to low magic power. The water dragon technique released also had the power of a powerful knight-level fighting spirit. Knight Olson, who was hit head-on by the water dragon technique, flew out as if he was hit by a speeding train. His entire chest sank in, and he landed with a thud. After struggling for a few times, there was no movement.

"Lord Olson!"

"Knight Olson!"

Seeing Knight Olsen fall to the ground, the surrounding human soldiers panicked. Even the knight was killed, so how could they fight.

In this attack on Stour City, the Sea Clan was obviously determined to win. Not only did they dispatch a large number of ordinary Sea Clan warriors and patrol guards, but they also sent two bloodline warriors and a high-level priest. The bloodline warriors were okay. , the strength is equivalent to that of human knights. After leaving the sea and going up the city wall, he was still suppressed by the knights. However, the high priest was a completely different level of existence. He killed a knight with just one water dragon spell, which seemed to be no difficulty at all.

"Priest Yanes! There is an urgent order from the high priest!"

The high-ranking priest who was about to make an appointment with the army commander and directly order the army to launch a full-scale attack was suddenly interrupted by a messenger. However, he did not dare to be dissatisfied at all, because the person who gave the order was a messenger dedicated to the priest's palace. They would The orders of the high priest are issued to all directions, and they represent the high priest when they come out.

Yanes stopped what he was doing and stood respectfully in the water, waiting for the next message from the messenger.

"The high priest ordered all attacking troops and priests to return immediately without any delay!"

"Yes!"

"Order the army to retreat!"

"But our people have already attacked."

It’s no wonder that the commander is a little reluctant. The city of Stur is actually considered destroyed. All that’s left is to clean up the work. They gathered so many troops, isn’t it just to win a human city and gain some credit? Well, now that he has obviously succeeded, but he wants to give up immediately, he is really unwilling.

"This is the order of the high priest! Retreat immediately!"

Yanes turned to stare at the commander, with a dangerous look in his eyes, as if if the other party said no even half a word, he would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

"Send the order, the whole army retreats, alternately cover the exit from the city wall!"

"Yes!"

The actions of the Sea Clan made the defenders at the city head a little confused. They actually gave up on the city that they could easily capture with just one more breath of air.

However, they are more grateful, this is the happiness of saving a life...
