Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 192 Lao Si, we have been through swords and guns together
Sikai didn't understand why the Baron wanted to leave and hand over the military power to him at this time.

Although he commanded a thousand-man knight group to guard the Duke's castle in Bailiu City, commanding the guards and commanding the soldiers were two completely different things.

It's somewhat ridiculous, like asking a security guard who guards the gate every day to catch criminals.

Frankly speaking, Sikai had no confidence in himself, especially since the Lord of Highcliff Castle, who was a military genius, was still here.

Levi waved his hand to interrupt what Sikai wanted to say, and said seriously: "Except for my people and Maisha, I leave everyone to you."

"And you, just need to hold on until you get to Fujiro!"

"As long as you hold out until our main force arrives, no one can ignore your contribution in this war!"

Sikai understood everything in an instant.

Levi could obviously lead the soldiers here personally and wait for Fujiro to arrive, but he gave this opportunity to show up to him.

Hearing this, he was extremely moved: "Sir..."

"Lao Si, we all came from the same boat, so don't lose face. My lord, I have high hopes for you." The lord patted the knight's shoulder and spoke earnestly.

To be honest, on the one hand, he did want to let this knight, who had been a supporting role from the beginning and had not made any achievements, express his ideas.

But more importantly, there was little point in him staying here. Although he kept verbally calling the other party a makeshift group and small fry, the fact was that the other party's numbers far outnumbered theirs and this could not be concealed.

In this situation, if you want to maximize the benefits, you must make some arrangements that go beyond the norm.

He planned to leave Sikai here to attract the enemy's attention, and he would personally lead the Gaoyabao team to sneak deep into the enemy's team and use the center-blooming tactic.

By then, the enemy will be fighting on three fronts, and the pressure they will face will definitely be unbearable.

Sikai has the support of Panda and the experienced spellcaster Fukin. It shouldn't be a big problem if he just holds on until Fujiro arrives.

The two of them exchanged light punches, and everything was said without words.

The team set off again, but this time, unlike before, the team was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Even though these soldiers of the Thorn Legion are veterans who have seen blood, they cannot escape the tension before a battle.

On the contrary, the orcs were scratching their buttocks and pinching their noses, as if they were going on a picnic instead of a battle.

The moment everyone walked out of the shadow forest, they felt like they were seeing the light of day again. Their vision was wide, but the sudden bright sky was so bright that everyone had to squint their eyes and slowly adapt to the environment from dark to bright.

When his sight refocused, everything in front of him came into view. There were a large number of corpses scattered in the endless snow. Various scavenger birds and snow wolves were fighting with each other around the corpses. Their eyes were bloodshot and their bellies were round after eating so much.

Food is hard to find in winter, and this is a rare feast for these animals, so they won't leave any room in their stomachs.

These corpses included those of wild people, elves, and even soldiers of the Legion of Thorns, but all their equipment had been stripped away.

Even the last piece of cloth covering his lower body was taken by the goblin and used as a hat to keep warm.

What really concerned the lord was that there were several tree-man corpses lying among them, each as tall as seven or eight blades. Their bodies were made of tree trunks and they were wearing simple grass skirts.

"These wild people deserve to die." When Maisha saw the naked body of a female elf warrior, she couldn't bear to look at it anymore and her face was full of anger.

Death is not scary. What is scary is that after death, the body is left exposed in the wilderness without dignity and then eaten bit by bit by carnivores until only bones are left.

After all, the lord was not without a bit of humanity. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers went up and killed the snow wolves that were already full and not afraid of people at all. They also collected the corpses of elves and humans within their sight and waited to dispose of them properly after the war was over.

Then Levi noticed that Alan, the elf who had been silent since he scolded him, showed some gratitude to him, but he glanced at him and ignored him.

He looked up to the end of his sight.

After leaving the Shadow Forest, there was a snowy field in front of us. At the end of the gray horizon, at the junction of the sky and the earth, a yellowish-brown city wall was faintly visible.

The lord had excellent eyesight and could barely see the crowds of people above. Countless small black dots were climbing up the city wall like a swarm of ants, and the sound of shouting and killing could be heard faintly.

"This place is at least four miles away from the city wall. Even if they discover Fu Jin's snowbirds and respond in time, it will take them a long time to get here. You can prepare some simple fortifications." The lord handed over the remaining matters.

Then he looked at the three hundred High Cliff Castle warriors who were ready to go, and with a wave of his hand, everyone disappeared in the snow and went away into the distance under the magic released by Fu Jin.

Maisha's Snow Concealment Spell can only cover less than a hundred people, but the Snow Concealment Spell cast by Fu Jin, a senior spellcaster, can easily hide three hundred people, and the effect is better.

boom!
Just as the warriors of Gaoyabao were following the broad figure in front of them and marching forward in silence, suddenly, a loud noise that was louder than the heavens and the earth shook everyone's eardrums.

"What's going on?!" The lord's face changed instantly.

He gave a look, and Zat quickly pulled his boss over his head with his broad palm.

Levi took out the telescope and looked, his face instantly became anxious.

Although the walls built by the elves are not as majestic as those of the important cities in Derby, they are definitely a strong city in the remote wilderness and cannot be breached in a short time.

But through the lens, he clearly saw dozens of stone balls weighing thousands of pounds flying into the sky.

At that moment, the lord's eyes were almost blinded by the light. The stone ball in the air suddenly burst into flames and then slammed heavily into the indestructible city wall, bursting out with shining orange-yellow light, as dazzling as little suns, and even the surrounding space was distorted.

This is definitely not a simple boulder thrown by a trebuchet!
When his eyes moved downward, the lord was no longer surprised.

About fifty or sixty steps away from the city wall, a group of ogres were guarding a dozen figures wearing blue cloaks. They were emitting lights of different colors, and were obviously casting spells.

This is the priest of the drow elves, who is casting a spell in an attempt to break down the city wall.

The elven defenders on the city wall were not to be trifled with. They tried every possible means to intercept the stone balls. One of them even sent out a red sword energy and an arrow with holy light, which collided heavily with the stone balls. However, facing the huge number of stone balls, this was completely a drop in the bucket.

The remaining stone balls all crashed into the city wall, causing flames, fragments, and deafening noises. It seemed as if doomsday had come at that moment.

The strong winds blew up the snow, and it evaporated into water vapor before it hit the ground. Even from such a distance, Levi felt as if there were water stains on his face.

Before he could react, the ground shook, and the Zat that was dragging him began to shake, causing the snow to tremble violently.

"God."

The lord, who had never seen such a grand scene before, could not hide his shock.

It’s not that I’m simply shocked by the destructive power. After all, there were many more powerful weapons in my previous life.

What's more, put yourself in his shoes. If it was Gaoyabao who faced these stone balls head-on, then except for him, no one could survive against such lethal magic!
The Lord of Highcliff Castle had always been invincible, which made him arrogant, but at this moment he was hit hard again.

And we must deeply realize that there are always people better than us and that always maintaining a respectful heart is the right path.

"This reminds me of the muffled thunder that summer." Zat smacked his lips and shook his head.

The seemingly indestructible city wall only withstood three rounds of bombing. Like a riverbank being gnawed by ants, it could no longer hold on and collapsed, revealing a V-shaped gap from bottom to top.

More than 200 Minotaurs, like mountains of flesh, immediately rushed in through the gap. Following them were the surging numbers of wild men, following closely behind these strong men.

Faced with this predicament, even if the lord personally guarded the place with the orcs and barbarians, he would still feel his scalp tingling.

It is impossible to imagine how a group of skinny elves can guard this gap.

wrong……

The lord was shocked to see that the wild people who had been pouring in suddenly retreated like a tide, as if there was some ferocious beast inside.

Looking carefully through the telescope, they discovered that they were a group of tree people. These creatures were seven or eight feet tall, extremely powerful, and the trunks on their bodies were as hard as armor.

With a sweep of his sturdy arms, he swept the wild people in front of him into the sky, and even the Minotaur group of bull-nosed people could not stop them.

"Well done!"

The lord was overjoyed and jumped onto the snow.

"Run at full speed!"

He didn't care about hiding or not and directly ordered to move forward at full speed.

If we had arrived a little later, the Elf Tribe would have been finished.

Now most of the attention of the Wilderness Alliance is on breaking through the city wall, and the remaining energy is also used to send people to deal with Sikai and others. No one pays attention to him at all.

On paper, the drow elves number about 40,000, but in reality they appear very sparse when spread out over this plain.

What's more, most of them are auxiliary troops, and the real main force definitely does not exceed 20,000.

The current situation is that there are only less than a few thousand people attacking the city wall, and less than a thousand people are rushing in through the gap in the wall.

The remaining troops were watching from a few hundred steps away from the main battlefield, waiting for the right opportunity to join in.

After all, the city wall is so small that if we put all our men into it, we would just be standing on the periphery with nothing to do.

And at the location of their main force, there was a spider-shaped flag fluttering in the wind.

Standing below were all drow elves and people of various races.

They were wearing the most exquisite armor and equipped with the most sophisticated weapons. They were completely different from the small soldiers around them. One could tell at a glance that they were of high status and were definitely the leaders of this wilderness coalition.

However, the lord's target is not this group of people. Although he wants to kill the other party's leader in one fell swoop, there are still many soldiers guarding them.

Once you are dragged down, you will fall into the quagmire and be slowly surrounded by their people.

Apart from the Lord, it is estimated that there will be heavy casualties in Highcliff Castle, which is absolutely unbearable for him.

Compared to here, the team of drow elves casting spells closest to the city wall stood out so much.

The ogres guarding them were all big-bellied men more than three feet tall, wearing iron armor and holding foreskin wooden shields and bone clubs. There were more than three hundred of them, and they were definitely an elite team that could not be ignored.

It is certainly qualified to protect a spellcasting group.

But that depends on who they are competing against. If they fight one-on-one with the High Cliff Castle Guards, they will be defeated miserably.

It is obviously unrealistic to directly take down the other party's leaders in one fell swoop.

What's more, the opponent's spellcasting group is not just standing there watching. Once they discover their figures, it is hard to say whether the terrifying stone ball just now will fall on Gaoyabao.

So taking all factors into consideration, it is definitely a decision made after careful consideration to eliminate the opponent's spellcasting group first.

Besides, giving priority to dealing with the opponent's spellcasting group is definitely what any commander would do.

No matter what kind of veteran they are, they are extremely averse when discussing the war.

But the warriors of High Cliff Castle are different, thanks to the "Gift from the God of War" and the long-term invincibility led by their lord.

As a result, their blood boils and rushes through their veins when they see iron and fire. Their muscles bulge out, one by one, like unsheathed bullwhips.

The blood flows in their hearts and cannot be extinguished.

They charged silently towards the designated location. There were countless enemies there, but they were not afraid at all. They just moved forward courageously!

……

Broken city, on the city wall.

The scene here was like a slaughterhouse, with broken limbs and arms everywhere, and hair and flesh trampled into sticky pieces.

Everyone was fighting hard, and the only thought in their minds was to beat the opponent back.

"Flina, we can't hold on any longer!"

Ashe Whisperwind's voice was trembling.

She had given up archery now, and stood back to back with Florina, holding her scepter. Looking around, she saw only wild people and very few elven warriors.

After three days and three nights of fighting, even though they were the ones defending the city, it was difficult for them to hold on facing the crazy, devil-like wild people.

Especially when the opponent's spellcaster blew up the indestructible city wall, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. If it weren't for the tree people blocking it, they would probably have been defeated, abandoned this place, and retreated into the depths.

Florina's condition was not much better. Her exquisite silver armor was covered with knife marks, and the light of the magic stone on her chest was flickering. It was obvious that the magic power she had stored was almost exhausted.

Florina didn't want to talk. She looked up and saw the endless wilderness coalition army under the city wall.

And the reinforcements she was expecting did not even show up.

"Will I end my life here?"

No matter how conceited she was, she couldn't help but have this thought at this moment.

As for regret? No, Fulina just felt unwilling to give up.

Just like she had killed that man with her own hands, she would never regret what she had done.

and many more……

Suddenly, Florina's eyes widened.
