Release that Witch Chapter 870: Siege War
The sound of the brass trumpet came from a distance, breaking the peace of noon, as if something had been foreshadowed, the birds in the courtyard also stopped tweeting, and the castle hall seemed dull for a while.
William Borg Duke knows the time has come for the decisive battle.
He looked away from the Timothy Your Majesty's mural, turned his head to look at a delicate full-body nail, which was inherited by his grandfather. After many repairs and sandings in his hands, each nail was dipped in oil. Can almost be equivalent to another layer of skin.
A small line is engraved on the right armband, which is the family's motto: "Don't forget about loyalty."
He was wearing this armor, and in the melee, he captured the rebellious old Duke under the arrow, and was registered by Your Majesty as the new eastern region guardian.
Although the Timothy has fallen, the guardianship will not be interrupted.
He will never disappoint this honor.
"Master Duke, the troops of Fourth Prince have moved closer to Golden Harvest City, and no trace of large firearms has been found in the team." A subordinate entered the hall and reported to him.
"Very well," William nodded, "notify others in place, I'll pass right away."
"As you bid!"
He then took off his coat and walked to the armor, and said to his Chief Knight Kalina, "Put me on."
"Yes," the woman rolled up her sleeves and began to dress and undress him. The rough both hands covered with cocoons, at this moment, like soft water, gently shed his coat and lining. It is hard to imagine that in battle, Kalina also used this both hands to clasp the spear and pierce the enemy with armor and shield.
Whenever he sees it, the scene intoxicates him.
"Are you ... sorry?"
"Of course not, sir," Kalina replied calmly. "When you decided to let a woman be your Chief Knight, I decided to stay with you forever. No matter what happens, I will do my best. Responsibility. "
"But this time the enemy is stronger than before, if you can," Duke said half, and was interrupted by the belt tightened tightly around his waist.
"Why do you reject the Lord of Dawn covenant if you know your opponent is strong? You just do n’t agree, and envoy out of Golden Harvest City in public. If you know it, you will blame you for not knowing it." >
"Well, let's not say whether Shining Light City's help can withstand the Fourth Prince army. It's enough to just let me provide a seaport for his people to stay." William said, "eastern region was given to me by Your Majesty Territory, is there any difference between giving to Anpei Moore and giving to Roland Wimbledon? If I really answer the party, it is equivalent to living up to the trust of Your Majesty's. "
"So my answer is the same," Kalina said without hesitation, "loyalty is not a unique quality of the Borg family, sir, please stop mentioning those words, otherwise it will be no different to me."
William was silent for a while before he said, "Unfortunately most noble have forgotten this now ... I understand, you just follow me. Although the opponent is strong, I will not let them easily Winning Golden Harvest City I have been waiting for this decisive battle for a long time.
"Yes, sir." The female Knight chuckled.
"Bale!" he shouted secretary official's name, "Come here!"
Walking come in outside the hall quickly, a bald middle-aged man, "Master, what would you tell me?"
Remember me. After a night off, the minions of the King Roland Wimbledon's officially launched an offense against Golden Harvest City. The eastern region guardian, Golden Spike Duke William Borg, in the name of the first king, is determined to stop the enemy's pace here. His Chief Knight Kalina Wayne also shares He went with him, and his courage and loyalty undoubtedly wished gods to bless them. "William paused," Of course ... if you think this description is slightly subjective, you can leave the last sentence alone. "
Bale nodded while recording the feudal lord statement on the notebook with a charcoal pencil that he carried with him, "I think it would be okay, sir. There is no absolute objective record in this world. I am secretary official of Golden Harvest City. It's not surprising to have a little bias, or that this is part of the objective. "
"So keep it, but no matter what the result, you must record it truthfully, do you understand?" William emphasized, "It is your mission to pass on the cause and the complete passage of this matter."
"Please rest assured, sir," secretary official bowed, "I will let the world remember this history."
William stopped talking, lifted the steel sword hanging on the wall, and walked out of the castle without looking back.
...
The two boarded the watchtower of the city wall, the bonfire was already burning, and the oil was tumbling in the pot, giving off a pungent smell. The soldiers were busy going up and down, stacking the vermiculite and the wooden frame on the wall.
According to the experience of the World War II of Kingdom Capital, Roland's most threatening siege method is a type of snow powder weapon called cannon, which has a range far beyond the trebuchet until the city falls. Your Majesty failed to imitate similar products. On the day that Kingdom Capital was breached, Timothy entrusted the snow powder formula, weapon principle and manufacturing method to William. The purpose is self-evident.
Duke took a lot of energy and money into it after taking over, and also found some restrictions. For example, cannon itself is very heavy and needs to rely on the flat terrain to exert its power. In addition, its erection process is very slow and needs to rely on firearms protection. In other words, it's more suitable for defense than offense.
In order to meet the war that will come sooner or later, William can be said to be fully prepared. In addition to widening the city walls and installing barbs, he also sent people to dig all the roads in the suburbs and fill the farmland with river water to make it Become a moor. Many dark piles have also been set up in the Sanwan River, making it difficult for inland river vessels above the sloop to pass. The two years of preparations have completely changed the surrounding environment. Nowadays, let alone a horse and a horse, even walking with heavy objects is quite laborious.
Although the cost of the heavy road disruption has led to the bustling city of commerce and the shrinking farmland area, the benefits have been significantly reduced, but the benefits are also obvious. At least in the enemies' team approaching slowly, he did not see a Door cannon exists.
Obviously the other party has also realized that it is almost impossible to drag cannon to the city wall without trimming a road first.
Then there is no doubt a tough battle.
The enemy's firearms has a fast rate of fire, but there is no obstruction under the city, and it is not easy to climb up with barbs on the wall. On the contrary, he set up four trebuchets and two large cannons in the city, especially the latter, which can attack the enemy forces within a thousand steps. However, the outcome is still unknown.
"They're here," Kalina reminded.
With her voice, a group of soldiers wearing brown cloths stepped out of the line and surrounded them in the direction of city gate. They were not fast, but their footwork was extremely firm. Soon, this group of people lost the formation uniformity due to the muddy ground, and the in twos and threes scattered like a veteran farmer buried in the ground. In addition to carrying a gray-black pistol on their backs, there are barrels with a thick thigh, but by weight, it is definitely not a cannon.
William estimated the distance, raised the red flag, and waved downward.
"Stone cannon, fire!"
