Chapter 446 The Giant Beast Descends From the Sky

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

Unlike other big cities that set up farmland on the outskirts, the towering walls of the fortress enclose residential areas and some farmland. It is not so much to resist evil beasts as it is to prevent similar attacks. Even if the city is surrounded by enemies, the fortress will not be cut off from supplies.

Because of this, the outer wall of Changge Fortress formed a break where the river enters the city. Several arm-thick blocking ropes were hung between the two sections of the wall. If the enemy planned to rely on the Chishui River to attack the fortress, they could just cut the hemp ropes and the iron ropes would be able to attack the fortress. Will slide into the river.

However, the interior of the Western Territory is rarely attacked by fleets, so the iron cables are almost never used, and this time is no exception. Roland's fleet was sailing along with lightning speed, and by dusk, he could already see the outline of the fortress wall. The beacon smoke still floats above the city, adding a bit of ink color to the gradually darkening sky.

"The enemies are mainly concentrated in the lord's castle area. There are still a small number of militiamen on the north gate wall fighting with the guards at the top of the city, but it seems that they can't hold on for long." Lightning had already clearly investigated the battle situation in the city and reported to the prince in detail Hui reported, "The number of people besieging the castle is about two hundred. The first floor has been lost. The opponent does have weapons similar to muskets, but they are completely different from the ones we use."

"Is Pero okay?" Roland was currently most concerned about the agent's safety.

"He's okay, just a little frightened, but..."

"But what?"

"His family suffered a disaster," Lightning curled his lips and said, "Probably Lord Perot received the news in advance and recruited his father into the castle, but the rest of his relatives who stayed in the territory...including the countess, were treated as such 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 were arriving soon. He only made one request to me."

Roland nodded, "You say."

"eye for eye."

There is an unwritten rule among nobles, that is, they rarely kill people with knighthoods. As relatives of Earl Honeysuckle, most of them have knighthoods. But now the four major families dare to completely break their faces. In addition to their hatred for Honeysuckle and Roland to earn a lot of profits, the other factor is probably the forces behind it.

Roland can now basically confirm that the person standing behind the other party should be the new king Tifeco Wimbledon - assisting the church in killing nobles and helping the king execute rebels are completely different things. He looked towards the direction of the fortress and said coldly, "Send my order. The whole army will go straight into the city and occupy the dock!"

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

Aite heard footsteps coming from under the city wall again.

He numbly raised his flintlock gun and pointed it at the dark hole under his feet - this was the only way to climb to the top of the city wall from inside the city wall. After the enemy captured the city gate, they launched several waves of attacks, but in the end they failed to capture the northern section of the city wall. .

The battle lasted from noon yesterday until now. He never thought that he could persist for such a long time in the biting cold wind. But when he saw the teammates who came to support fell in a pool of blood one by one, his mind could no longer Unable to think about anything else.

"Are they here again?" An extra spear was stretched out next to him. Aite glanced sideways and found that the person coming was none other than his squad leader Tongshan.

"I heard some noise," he responded weakly, "but it's so dark now that I can't see how many people there are."

"They also don't know how many of us there are," Tongshan said comfortingly.

"Then... how many more are there?"

Tongshan hesitated, "Five, just now the crow took his last breath."

"Most of us won't survive tonight," At said bitterly. From the initial fear and panic to the current numbness, he finally understood the meaning of the instructor's words, "Only experiencing real combat can you mature quickly." However, this did not bring any change to the predicament. The three teams that had gathered together were now down to the last five people. Even if the enemy did not attack the city, they would be frozen to death due to lack of food and cold-proof supplies. "Is there any point in surrendering now?"

"Surrender?" Tongshan snorted, "Didn't you hear what they shouted? Destroy the rebellion! Even if you surrender, there is only a dead end. It is better to kill a few more of them here."

Aite knew that the captain was right. Many of the Second Army soldiers who came to support yesterday had their heads chopped off after being captured. They were not nobles, so naturally they had no value in exchange for ransom. It's just... he's not willing to die here.

The instructor had described to him all the beauties of Border Town, and promised that as long as the Demonic Moon was over, soldiers with outstanding performance in the Second Army could be promoted to the First Army and receive a free new house. There is plenty of food there, well water that flows out automatically when the valve is opened, and heaters that keep the room warm without having to light a fire...

He wanted to survive and go to Border Town to see the magical things the instructor said.

"Come here!" Tongshan suddenly shouted and pulled the trigger. Through the firelight from the muzzle, Aite saw the outlines of the enemy illuminated in the darkness—six or seven people were slowly crawling up with shields in hand. He could even see the frightened faces of the enemies.

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

He aimed at the fleeting figure and fired.

The bullet hit the wooden shield with 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 remaining people ran towards the exit desperately.

Tongshan was still loading ammunition, and his frozen hands affected his speed. Aite retracted his body and felt a chill in his heart when he touched the gunpowder bag at his waist. The bag was empty. He had used up all the gunpowder.

According to daily training, the bayonet should be attached 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 body. Before he could level the gun, the enemy running at the front had already rushed out of the hole.

Tongshan decisively grabbed the captain and knocked him to the ground, but the second enemy who followed closely thrust his sword into the captain's chest with his backhand.

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

Are you going to die here?

He raised his head in despair, only to find that a shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.

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

As the outline became clearer and clearer, Ait couldn't help but widen his eyes. It was actually a huge monster!

He swore he would only see such a terrifying monster in nightmares. It had a huge mouth, a head bigger than a calf, and broad wings that could almost cover the entire wall.

The giant beast smashed directly in front of Aite, crushing the enemy who crawled out of the hole into meat patties!

“Aww————Ao————————!”

It let out a deafening roar! (To be continued.)
