NOVEL NEXT Chapter 46 The 2nd Attack
At dawn, more than two thousand gnolls finished their remaining meat and gathered into the team amidst the scoldings of the gnoll clan leader.
Logos was riding on the back of a gnoll, and two strong gnolls beside him were carrying chain hammers, which served as temporary weapon racks.
"Commander, the assembly is complete and we are waiting for your orders." A Jackal clan leader stepped forward and said respectfully.
When the sun shone on the outer wall of the castle, Rogers got off the Jackal's back, picked up his weapon, and shouted an order: "Attack."
More than two thousand jackals howled and headed towards the castle like a tide.
Rogers held the hammer and followed the team, preparing for Qin Zhi's exit.
The other Jackal Silver Warriors were hiding in the team, trying to catch the opponent by surprise when they were about to climb the city wall.
Just like yesterday, the three-bow bed crossbow was the first to show its power, shooting iron arrows in the direction of the jackals.
"call out--"
An iron arrow flew past Luogesi and penetrated the two guards who were following him.
"Danger, scatter."
After hearing this, the other jackal guards dispersed one after another, no longer surrounding Logos.
In a short distance of two kilometers, within five minutes and at the cost of the lives of hundreds of jackals, they successfully reached the outer city wall area.
The next moment, some of the gnolls threw stones and weapons to interfere with the city wall defenders, and some began to climb the city wall.
Soon, the battle became fierce, with blood splattering, screams and wails, and the sound of weapons clashing filling the entire outer city wall.
Many silver-level gnolls broke through the city wall and caused great damage to the soldiers defending the city, but they were quickly blocked by the silver knights.
Logos was mixed in the crowd, his eyes fixed on the human nobleman at the top of the castle.
With his keen perception, the most threatening person in this castle and the one with the highest status must be this young human being.
As long as you kill him, taking this castle will be easy.
"leader."
A jackal came to Logos with a bloody iron arrow and handed it to him respectfully.
Rogers weighed the weight of the iron arrow, looking for the right moment.
The next moment, he began to exert his strength and throw it at the human nobles at the top of the castle.
Verin, who stood with his sword in his hand, looked at the iron arrow flying towards him, drew out his sword and cut it off, and looked at Logos who was hiding in the gnoll attacking team.
One person and one wolf looked at each other, and they both understood each other's thoughts.
"Roar--"
After being discovered, Logos no longer hid, and with the help of climbing jackals, he climbed onto the city wall in a few seconds, brandishing a hammer, and smashed a dozen soldiers off the city wall, leaving them dead or alive.
Weilin looked at Rutgers with sharp eyes, jumped down from the platform, and landed steadily on the outer city wall.
"Human, today, you die and I live."
Rogers looked at Verin warily, his tone solemn.
"Then let's see who dies and who lives."
Weilin looked at the enemy in front of him seriously. It was very powerful, but he could deal with it.
The knight's long sword and the chain hammer intertwined and collided, which was also a battle between the two people's fighting spirit. The green light and the fiery red flames fought against each other, causing great damage to the city wall stacks.
Unconsciously, more than ten minutes have passed. One person and one wolf are in a stalemate, and no one can do anything to the other.
At this time, Orlando came to his side at some point and attacked from the flank while Rutgers was fighting with all his heart.
"Pfft-"
An arm was abandoned high and fell on the city wall.
"Ow—"
"Despicable humans."
Rogers covered his broken arm and said angrily.
"All means can be used against monsters." Weilin said without blushing, preparing to take down the jackal completely and end this turmoil.
Seeing two silver knights outflanking him, Rogers jumped off the city wall without hesitation and ordered his bodyguards to fend off the pursuers.
Seeing this, Verin jumped off the wall, followed closely by Orlando.
Dozens of tall gnolls formed a simple formation, standing between the fleeing Logos and Verin.
"Kill them."
Most of these gnolls were low-level and mid-level bronze, and they were completely vulnerable to the two silver knights, Verin and Orlando.
In less than ten minutes, they were all beheaded.
However, this also gave Rutgers enough time to escape.
Not long after, the attacking gnolls heard the sound of retreat, dragged the bodies of their companions, and began to retreat.
This siege battle lasted less than two hours and ended, but it was several times more brutal than yesterday. Blood had stained the outer city wall red, and the corpses of jackals were intertwined with the corpses of our own soldiers.
After being out of danger, Rogers immediately summoned the surviving Jackal clan leaders to prepare to issue new orders.
A few days ago, there were seventeen, but now there are only nine left, all with injuries.
Everyone's expressions were solemn, including Rutgers, who no longer felt relaxed as before.
"Humanity is very powerful in this battle. There are fifteen Silver Knights, which is a great force."
"I guess that this is a human outpost, and the real territory of the human nobles is behind it, so I decided to go around here and attack the human territory behind to make up for the losses."
"Yes, Commander."
The remaining nine gnolls responded, their words revealing that they wanted to leave this place of death as soon as possible.
In order to prevent the human nobles in the castle from taking the initiative to attack, Logos immediately asked the chef to light a fire and cook, and after letting his jackals eat, they set off immediately and did not stay here to avoid long nights and accidents.
On the other side, after Weilin counted the casualties and compared them with those captured, he felt somewhat balanced.
In this battle, 117 people were killed, 13 of them were regular troops, and the rest were serfs. In addition, two hundred and twenty-six people were injured.
In this battle, a total of 687 ordinary jackal heads, 167 bronze-level jackal heads, and five silver-level heads were captured. The remaining corpses were taken back by the opponent.
"Baird, prepare a team of troops, prepare tonight..."
At this time, Knight Randolph walked in, knelt down on one knee, and reported respectfully: "My lord, the scouts reported that the jackals disappeared and are suspected to be heading east."
After hearing this, Weilin swallowed back what he was about to say, and then said: "Dispose of the corpses to avoid the plague."
"Yes, my lord."
After Baird took the order and left, Verin held his chin and began to think in his mind.
"If they go to the east, that is to say, they will come back, then intercept them halfway and rob them to make up for their losses."
As for the losses suffered by the nobles to the east, that was not his concern.
He fended off the gnolls here for a day and a night, killing more than a thousand gnolls. This was considered to be the most benevolent and righteous act for both the kingdom and the nobles.
