Section 384: Confrontation

Stephen Castle was built on an island in the middle of a lake on the top of a mountain, surrounded by water on three sides. Only a section of the city wall more than 200 meters in front connected with the **** below, allowing troops to attack directly. However, this side is also a key defense target. Not only is the city wall more than ten meters high and extremely strong, but there is also a moat of nearly 20 meters. It's not that easy to break in.

Generally speaking, students in the college know that this is a forbidden area and few people disturb it. But today, a troop of more than 3,000 people broke the peaceful atmosphere here.

Although the clothing style of this unit is relatively messy, and it seems that it belongs to a dozen different forces, but after some reorganization, these soldiers who have experienced many battles have shown good military qualities. They were arranged in a neat formation, wearing fine armor, holding better weapons than the regular army, and marched to the front of the castle with boundless murderous intent.

I saw that they were roughly divided into three parts. The first group was a thousand infantrymen, all lightly armored warriors holding shields and holding a one-handed weapon. There were also dozens of long siege ladders mixed in during the process. Obviously this is a force specially used to attack fortresses. The shield protects the arrows, and the light armor allows them to quickly pass through the area covered by the opponent's arrow rain, and then use the ladder to climb the city wall.

The second part is a large number of archers, almost more than a thousand in number. Needless to say, they are used to cover the siege troops. These people are all around 30 years old. Judging from the standard posture of their bows, they are probably elite archers who have retired from the army and joined the mercenary group because of their good skills. Obviously, these thousand archers are definitely extremely difficult to deal with.

The people in the third part are all cavalry, most of them wearing heavy armor, and occasionally light armor appears. Among them, there are several important figures who are wearing magic armor. Obviously, the masters are hidden in it.

Although these precious cavalry are rare, the most eye-catching thing is the group of white-robed magicians next to the cavalry.

The so-called white-robed magicians actually refer to the magicians trained by the Empire of Light. Their offensive methods are almost the same as those of the magicians trained by the Griffin Kingdom. The spell systems on both sides are also roughly the same. The only difference is. The robes of the magicians of the Griffin Kingdom are colorful, and no one cares about you, as long as the badge is good, but the magicians of the Light Empire must wear white robes, and they must believe in the God of Light. Generally speaking, mages on both sides are very respected, but there is not much contact between them.

Because the status of magicians in the Light Empire is not as good as the light priests in their country, many magicians in the Light Empire are willing to come to the Griffin Kingdom, which respects magicians more. In order to prevent the loss of talent, the Empire of Light strictly prohibited its mages from appearing in the Griffin Kingdom without any reason. But I don’t know why, the August family was able to dispatch more than 30 white-robed magicians this time, which is really puzzling.

Strictly speaking, such a team is already very powerful. infantry. The combination of archers, cavalry and magicians can still fight even if they face several times the number of enemies. In addition, these people are veterans who have experienced war. It is not difficult to command, so Lord Ye Xiao, the temporary commander of this team, is still very confident about this mission.

However, Lao Xie is now a foreigner with a bad reputation, so Ye Xiao, who has always been cautious, does not dare to be too careless. So, after arriving in front of the castle. He did not rush to attack, but stopped the team first and observed the castle carefully. It didn't matter, and he was immediately stunned.

It turned out that Night Owl did not notice the defenders on the castle. The castle that came into view was empty everywhere, and there were no people in any defensive window, and no one was moving. Even with his level six strength. I can't detect any fluctuations in life at all. The whole castle seemed like an open space. The only place with people was on the balcony above the city gate.

The so-called balcony is actually a platform fortification for the front defense of the castle. More than ten meters above the ground, the balcony is the top of the city wall. This kind of protruding large balcony is usually used to protect large defensive equipment, but at this time, there is no super heavy crossbow to defend the city, only a gorgeous table with some exquisite snacks placed on the table, and several There was a bottle of fine wine, and two people were sitting next to the table. It was Lao Xie and the new-looking Catherine. Behind them, the old housekeeper Christian was waiting.

At this time, Lao Xie was enjoying a limited amount of wine, teasing with Catherine from time to time, and did not take the people below him seriously at all. On the other hand, Catherine looked a little nervous, with a hint of worry in her smiling face, and she was obviously still worried about this war.

Seeing such a strange scene, the suspicious Night Owl couldn't help but feel a little nervous, wondering what Lao Xie was up to. So he asked loudly: "Little Stephen, now that my army is approaching, why don't you hand over Catherine quickly? Do you have to let me fight in before you hand her over?"

"A large army is approaching?" Lao Xie then sneered: "Aren't they just a few kittens who dare not see people? How dare you call them an army? What a shameless statement!"

"Kitten?" Ye Xiao immediately sneered: "Boy, don't underestimate them. These people under my command are all composed of the most famous mercenary group in the capital. Each of them has extraordinary strength. It’s no big deal to deal with you!”

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the hired mercenary group leaders couldn't help but change their expressions, and they immediately cursed in their hearts, 'Damn Ye Xiao, didn't you betray us on purpose? ’

You know, although generally speaking, when such a big event is held, it is a good opportunity for the mercenary group to advertise themselves, so the mercenary group that accepts the employment will do their best to promote their own banner.

But this time is different. Because they are against the powerful Stephen family, the people in the mercenary group not only dare not use their own names, but they are also secretive. Several group leaders even simply used a piece of cloth to cover their faces for fear of being recognized. They all know how powerful the Stephen family is. Who dares to provoke such a powerful enemy? If we don't raise a banner, it can be said that the people below are acting privately in the future, and they will be dismissed at most if they are just accompanying them. But now that Night Owl came out like this, it was equivalent to pushing them to the opposite side of the Stephen family. Just thinking about the revenge of the Stephen family in the future made several group leaders break out in cold sweat.

In fact, Night Owl did this on purpose, in order to get the Stephen family to fight with these mercenaries in the future, so that the Augustus family could take advantage of the opportunity.

Old Xie has naturally seen through Night Owl's trick, and of course he will not be easily fooled. You must know that the reason why these mercenary groups are able to gain a foothold in a complex place like the Imperial Capital involves the interests of many great nobles. , if we really kill them all, we will definitely offend many people, which will cause endless troubles. Although Lao Xie may not care, he is not willing to be used as a weapon.

So Lao Xie immediately sneered at those people and said: "Everyone, I know that you mercenaries value people over money, but although money is good, you have to live to spend it. I will put my words here today, If any of you dare to help this **** named Night Owl attack the castle of the Stephen family, I will immediately ask the soldiers of the Stephen family to smash your headquarters!"

As soon as Lao Xie said this, the group leaders were immediately frightened. You know, they all brought their elite troops this time, but the soldiers of the Stephen family stayed outside because of the rules. Once they were attacked by the troops of the Stephen family when they attacked the castle, who could withstand it? ah? What's more, the Stephen family has recently gained a group of barbarian warriors, and there is also a sword master named Sven to support them. It can be said that once a war breaks out, Stephen's Castle may not be able to be defeated, but their old nest will definitely not be saved. of.

Thinking of this, the captains could no longer sit still and hurriedly came to find Ye Xiao. One of them was sweating profusely and said: "My lord, you heard what little Stephen said. We, we are just afraid I can only say sorry to you today! ”

Ye Xiao didn't expect that his few words would be used by Lao Xie, and he frowned slightly. However, this guy is also the kind of person who is extremely sinister, so he doesn't care about the life and death of these people. He sneered directly: "We have signed an agreement, and you also received a deposit. The August family is not easy to mess with. If anyone If you dare to accept money and do nothing, I promise you, you will definitely lose more than one headquarters, and even you will be jailed!"

"Ah!" The group leaders were immediately stunned, and none of them knew what to say.

"Can we double, no, ten times the deposit as compensation?" a group leader finally couldn't help but asked.

"The Augustus family is not short of money, we just want people now!" Ye Xiao then comforted: "But don't worry, as long as you catch Catherine, you will win the Augustus family, the third prince and even Your Majesty the Queen and the Emperor have the trust that when the time comes, even if the Stephen family wants to touch you, it will not be that easy. Our August family will not just sit idly by!”

Hearing what Ye Xiao said, the group leaders finally felt relieved. Seeing this, Night Owl immediately hit the railway while it was hot, "Okay, don't be half-hearted anymore. You all go back to coordinate the troops immediately. Just wait for my order to rush in and capture Catherine alive. Do you understand?"
