Chapter 159 Fortress Attack and Defense 1

Seeing Samar's hesitation, wizard Scott secretly despised him.

Really, such a coward could become a commander. I really don't know what Grand Duke Giles thinks.

Scott thought that with his magic, he could easily capture the fortress.

He stood up slowly, bowed slightly to Samar who was sitting in the first seat, and then looked around at the officers present.

"Lord Samar, and all the generals, please allow me to formally introduce to you the spell I am good at - enchantment."

"My magic can exert temporary or permanent enhancement effects on weapons, armor and other equipment. Take defensive armor as an example. For a light leather armor, I can increase its defensive ability to the strength of a scale armor or chain mail, and for a light chain mail, I can increase its defensive ability to the strength of plate armor."

"I believe everyone has seen the performance of the scouts a few days ago. The five of them fought against the seven enemies, but they won an overwhelming victory. Except for one person who ran away, four people were killed and two were captured alive, while only three of our people suffered insignificant injuries."

An officer shouted: "Yes, that is indeed incredible. Your magic is really superb."

Scott cast a satisfied look at him.

"I can enchant swords, turning ordinary iron swords into steel swords, and making crudely made weapons as powerful as those made by dwarf masters."

The officers present exclaimed in amazement and discussed the significance of enchantment in battle. ,

Samar asked: "How many people can you enchant? Is there no limit?"

Scott said proudly: "General, with the ability of me and my men, if we cast spells together, we can add effects to 500 soldiers wearing ordinary leather armor and increase their defense to the level of plate armor. Moreover, as long as the soldiers wear leather boots and leather gloves, they can get the effect of a full set of armor."

Samar asked again: "Is this gain permanent?"

Scott's voice suddenly became much smaller: "Uh... No, the effect can last for about five days. hours, but if the enchantment is done during the production process, a semi-permanent effect can be achieved. "

Samar shook his head: "If we make it now, we will be too late."

"General!"

Scott's voice became louder again: "Four or five hours is enough. Think about it, 500 soldiers equipped with plate armor, if they are used as a fist force, concentrated to capture a certain point on the wall, and the follow-up troops quickly follow up, with the advantage of numbers, we can quickly take down the Thorn Fortress. "

"Hmm..."

Samar hesitated, 500 soldiers equipped with this plate armor? This is indeed a considerable force. You know, in the past hundred years, the entire Aldo Kingdom may not have produced more than 300 sets of plate armor, and most of the plate armor is passed down from father to son, son to grandson, and is passed down by knights or nobles as heirlooms.

Seeing that Samar seemed to be a little moved, Scott continued: "General! My enchantment has another advantage. The enchanted equipment still maintains its original weight. An enchanted leather armor is still the weight of leather armor, not as heavy as plate armor."

"Okay!"

This last sentence finally attracted Samar. It has the abnormal defense of plate armor, but it is as easy as wearing leather armor, which makes Samar want to try it himself.

He turned to an officer beside him and ordered: "Select 500 strong soldiers within three days, and we will launch an attack in five days."

The officer immediately stood up and responded:

"Yes, sir."

Scott smiled with satisfaction: "General, you are wise!"

If the Thorn Fortress is captured with his assistance, his status in the organization will rise to a higher level.

Thinking of this, Scott was secretly happy.

...

Five days later, the alarm bell in the Thorn Fortress kept ringing, and the rebels were finally about to start the attack.

In the past few days, the rebel scouts have entered the fortress's security zone more and more frequently to investigate the situation. Lester even caught several of them when he was patrolling personally.

But none of them found the situation described by the injured scout.

The enemy's more frequent reconnaissance made everyone in Thorn Fortress nervous, although they knew that this day would come sooner or later.

On November 15, the scouts quickly reported that a large number of rebel troops had entered the security zone and rushed straight to the fortress.

Duke Dodge immediately ordered the alarm to be sounded and the entire army to prepare for battle. The fortress immediately entered a busy state.

The Duke personally led Klein and Lester to the city wall to command the battle on the spot.

Not long after, they saw the rebel flag.

"Since we attacked them at night last time, they have never come with so many people at once!"

"It seems that they are going to come for real this time."

"It's really hateful. If it weren't for the plague last year, I, a duke, wouldn't have been able to gather only a few thousand soldiers."

The three people were talking in a low voice. Although the atmosphere was extremely tense, everyone's eyes were firm and there was no fear at all.

Duke Dodge drew his sword and raised it high in the air. This ancestral sword shone brightly in the sunlight.

No mistakes in one sentence, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

"Everyone! For the kingdom!"

Klein and Lester also drew their swords and raised them high in the air, colliding with the Duke's sword.

"For His Majesty the King! For Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

The three of them shouted their determination to kill the enemy: "We will swear to destroy the rebels!"

...

Not far south of the fortress, the rebels had already formed an attack formation.

Samar brought a total of 10,000 soldiers to launch this attack.

In order to keep an eye on the Thorn Fortress, Giles still allocated a lot of troops here. Although the previous plan was not to attack the fortress, it was still necessary to guard against the northern kingdom's army moving south.

Although Jingyao's granary was burned, no one dared to guarantee whether the royal family had stored grain elsewhere, so the defensive forces in this direction could not be reduced.

Six siege vehicles stood in a solemn manner. From their appearance, they looked very new. They were made by the rebels in five days.

When the attack begins, soldiers will push the fortress to the edge of the city wall, braving the arrows shot from the fortress, and then put the ladder on the car on the wall. The siege soldiers risk their lives to climb the ladder, break into the city wall, and fight with the defenders.

Under a siege vehicle, wizard Scott stood proudly, looking very proud, as if he had already grasped the victory.

"Finally I have waited for this moment!"

"History will remember this moment! Because this will be the starting point for my Lord Scott to take off!"

Many figures can be seen on the fortress. The defenders reacted quickly and were already in their positions. It seems that they have trained for a long time for this moment.

But the wizard did not take them seriously.

"And you will all become my sacrifices! Become sacrifices of the secret society!"
