Chapter 125: Heavy Casualties (Please Collect and Recommend)

When the sun began to set at noon, the siege began again. The Sennods still focused their attack on the west gate, and the other three walls were still feints, not seeking success, but only to contain the defenders on the three walls.

The Sennods concentrated their catapults and continued to attack the west gate wall. On the one hand, they planned to use the catapults to open the gap that had just been blocked, and on the other hand, they tried to open a few more holes in the wall.

Soon, the Sennods knew that they had thought too much. There is a reason why Camelot can stand for a thousand years. The attack of the catapult is useless to the walls of Camelot. There is no way, the Sennods can only concentrate their firepower on the initial gap and open the gap blocked by corpses and stones again.

The attack of the Sennods was too purposeful, which gave Camelot enough time to prepare. When the catapult opened the gap again, all the heavy war equipment on the wall concentrated their firepower on the Sennods' catapults.

In this way, although the gap in the city wall was opened again by the Sennods, the Sennods did not have an easy life. The siege equipment they prepared was basically destroyed by Camelot's concentrated attack.

In this way, the Sennods' already pitiful long-range attack was weakened even more. The battle could only enter a cruel close combat.

The mode of war, in the end, is a cruel fight between people, which will remain the same even in the future. →

The Camelots, who have the advantage of terrain, have a clear advantage in melee combat, and the Sennods can only experience what happened last night again. They rushed into the gap, were first covered by a rain of arrows, and then were killed by heavy infantry at the gap, and finally, under Kai's strong charge, they could only retreat in disgrace.

This went back and forth several times, and the war came to an end again after the sun set.

Unlike last night, the battle today was even more brutal. More than 3,000 Sennods fell forever near the gap. Camelot also suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and more than 30 knights fell forever on the battlefield. The barricade position was breached three times. If it weren't for Kai's efforts to turn the tide at the last moment and stabilize Camelot's footing, the West Gate would have been lost long ago.

This time the Sennods were repelled, but the Camelot people were not happy.

The loss was too great. A full 1,000 casualties! Although half of them were temporarily recruited troops, this kind of casualties was still a huge loss for Camelot.

Especially the knights. There were only 150 knights in the entire Camelot City, and one-fifth of them were gone at once. If the casualties of the soldiers below were bearable, the loss of the knights was a bit unacceptable. In any case, this is still an era of knights. With knights, no matter what, the military and the people still have a backbone. If there were no knights, no one knew what the consequences would be.

Of course, the Sennod side will be even worse. In just one day and one night, they have lost 5,000 people forever, and the number of wounded soldiers is even greater. If this trend continues, it is estimated that in less than three days, the Sennods themselves will collapse.

In short, this day's battle made both sides very painful.

...

"We can't continue this war." After Sennod returned to the camp, he quickly discussed with the nobles below, and then found Morgause and told her their decision.

"No!" Morgause naturally couldn't let Sennod give up like this.

"If there were no other variables, we couldn't take this city at all. Do you know how many people we lost in this day and night? A total of 8,000 casualties! How many more do you think we have to sacrifice? Don't forget, we can't even break through the west gate now! Camelot still has the inner city and the royal palace! We must withdraw our troops now before the wealth looted on the way here can make up for our losses! You promised me before that you would create an excellent opportunity for me, but now, I don't see any chance at all!"

Does Sennod want to withdraw his troops? He didn't want to. When he came, he intended to destroy Camelot. Because once he sent troops, if Camelot was not completely conquered, the two countries would definitely fight to the death, and King Uther would never let Sennod go. So Sennod had not thought of withdrawing troops before.

But after only one day, Sennod's mind changed.

The casualties were too scary. The key was that he could not see the hope of breaking through Camelot. Continuing would only cause more casualties and deepen the hatred between the two countries. There was no benefit. While it was not a loss now, he should stop quickly.

As for Camelot's revenge, Sennod was not too worried. As long as he retreated to his own territory, Camelot would not think of dealing with him easily. Although he could imagine that such a day would definitely not be easy, it was better than sacrificing the entire country.

Once the casualties exceeded the limit that Sennod could bear, it would not only be Camelot that would cause trouble for him.

Morgause was not a general, nor a politician. She certainly didn't understand the twists and turns in this. Even if she did, she wouldn't care. She didn't care how many people would be sacrificed to destroy Camelot. She was a witch, and her perspective on the issue was completely different from Sennod's. In her opinion, as long as Camelot could be destroyed and King Uther killed, no matter how great the price was, it was worth it. Those soldiers were worthless in her eyes, so they could be sacrificed at will.

"You disappoint me so much! Sennod!" Morgause looked at Sennod with disappointment. She felt that Sennod was just a coward with a false reputation.

Will Sennod change his mind because of Morgause's disappointment?

Obviously not!

"Then I would rather disappoint you, Morgause, than sacrifice the lives of thousands of soldiers." After saying that, Sennod was about to leave. He could understand that Morgause and he had different values, so he knew that it was useless to say more.

"Wait!" At this time, a sweet and pleasant voice interrupted.

Sennod turned around and found that a woman who was more beautiful than Morgause appeared beside Morgause. This woman had long black hair and a graceful figure. Her demeanor was more charming than Morgause.

Sennod would get involved with Morgause. In addition to his hatred for Camelot, Morgause's beauty also played a big role. This guy is capable and a wise ruler, but a wise ruler does not mean that he will not have illnesses. Anyway, throughout history, monarchs who have made achievements in the world are generally people with strong desires. Those who are pure and have few desires cannot be good monarchs.

"Who are you?" However, Sennod is not so stupid as to turn into a pig when he sees a woman. He is not that low-class. Moreover, this woman can appear here unknowingly. She is definitely not an ordinary weak woman. You need to have good eyesight to pick up girls.
