Unknown Knight

Aix, who rushed over like the wind, caused a commotion among the soldiers in the Berbera camp. This was the man who killed the demigod Magnus with a hammer in front of them, and was also the blessed man who survived a crossbow pierced through the chest yesterday.

Some soldiers who participated in the battle outside the Standing Fort still remember this god-like man who could break the formation alone. The bravery of Aix that day was passed on by word of mouth among these people, making him an ancient beast that the Berbera soldiers dared not face directly.

Seeing this god-like, ancient beast-like figure rushing towards them, the formation of the Berbera camp was already showing signs of being unable to be maintained before he even arrived, and even chaos began to appear in some parts.

Side by side with Aix were the four divine generals who were charging together. Each of them was about twenty meters apart and rushed towards the enemy formation at the same speed. They were like five sharp armor-piercing cones, stabbing fiercely into the array of Berbera soldiers.

When he was still twenty meters away from the enemy formation, Aix dodged the rain of arrows and spears behind his shield, while taking out the six-petal iron hammer with an iron chain at the tail, which was used as a meteor hammer, and weighed it confidently.

This six-petal iron hammer was another major reason why Axe dared to take the lead in breaking the formation. The last battle in which he broke the formation alone outside the Standing Castle made him realize that this meteor hammer was very effective in breaking the formation, especially the formation that was known as the Iron Wall and consisted of heavily armored infantry holding thick iron shields. So he ordered James to have a batch made quickly.

Among them, James had made special modifications to his hammer. The original solid hammer head was recast into a hollow one, which was injected with special flaming oil. Several small holes were drilled on the hammer head and stuffed with cotton wool or flint for ignition.

During battle, the high-speed rotating meteor hammer will generate inertia, throwing the fierce fire oil inside the hammer head onto the cotton wool stuffed in the small holes. When it hits the enemy's shield, the sparks produced by the flint will ignite the meteor hammer, turning it into a terrifying fireball.

Not only that, under the action of inertia, every impact of the fire meteor hammer will splash out a part of the fierce fire oil inside. The splashing fierce fire oil burns, making it difficult for people to dodge, and it will also bring additional panic effect, which is enough to break through any elite infantry formation. It is simply an invincible weapon for breaking formations.

This is also one of the reasons why Axe decided to take the risk of joining the war again. Just like a soldier with a powerful weapon, if he is not allowed to go into battle, he will feel itchy and unbearable in his heart, and he will have great regrets.

Sure enough, Aix spun the meteor hammer, and when it hit the enemy, there was a loud "bang", and the sound effects, special effects, and attack effects were all maximized at the same time, not only causing the shield holder who was hit to shatter his shield and fly away, but also causing the people around to scream and hurriedly avoid it, and dropped their shields and weapons, and hurriedly slapped the burning incendiary oil on their bodies, and the formation suddenly became a mess.

This effect made Aix very satisfied, and he hurriedly expanded the victory by moving left and right. Every time the fire meteor hammer shattered the enemy's shield, not only would the people around the attack point scream and dodge, but the people nearby would also gasp and exclaim, which produced a strong deterrent effect.

Soon Aix broke into the depths of the enemy camp. No one dared to confront him. There was no intact formation in front of him. Wherever the meteor hammer passed, there was chaos and destruction.

I don't know who took the lead and shouted, but the enemies in front of Aix retreated in all directions with a "boom". Panic spread quickly like ripples in the crowd, pushing and even trampling.

Not only him, the meteor hammers in the hands of the four generals next to him, although not having the fire enchantment of his, also achieved a good effect of breaking the formation, disrupting the enemy's front row of elite heavy armored infantry more than 100 meters away.

The five men, led by Aix, formed a sharp spearhead and fired directly, causing chaos in the entire Berbera camp. When the subsequent array infantry arrived, there were no enemies in front of them who dared to resist, and they all fled towards the direction of Berbera city for their lives.

The soldiers of the Aix camp didn't care about the formation and just followed and chased after them. The local soldiers followed the previous instructions and shouted in the local dialect while chasing:

"Those who surrender will not be killed, those who surrender will be spared death, and those who capture noble generals will be rewarded..."

Words like these made the enemies, who had no time to escape, kneel down and surrender in large numbers in order to save their lives. The bolder ones reached out to the generals and nobles in the fleeing crowd, captured them and came forward to seek credit.

The worst incident was at the gate of Berbera. The originally wide gate now seemed crowded and narrow. Nearly 20,000 people were crowded here, causing serious trampling and a thick layer of corpses covered the ground.

These corpses made the ground look unsolid, and people who stepped on it became unstable and had difficulty moving forward, further aggravating the congestion at the city gate.

Seeing the soldiers of the Aix camp following them, the Lord of Humamu, who had already fled into the city, gritted his teeth and ordered the heavy iron gate in the city gate to be lowered, forcing the gate to be closed.

This resulted in a total of only two to three thousand enemies escaping into the city, and the rest were all left outside the city and became prisoners of the Aix camp.

Seeing this, Aix decided to strike while the iron was hot. On the one hand, he ordered his men to detain and guard the surrendered prisoners, and on the other hand, he ordered his men to prepare siege equipment. During this time, he also ordered the catapults on the earthen platform to plow the city wall again with kerosene. When the assembled siege tower was slowly pushed over, there was no living person on the entire city wall who could resist.

Soon the vanguard climbed up the deserted city wall, successfully raised the heavy iron gate, opened the heavy city gate, and the army filed into the city of Berbera.

The army entering the city did not encounter desperate resistance as imagined. From the street at the city gate all the way to the city lord's mansion, there was no resistance at all. The streets were empty. When they asked people from the houses, they found out that when Aix was assembling the siege tower, the city lord Humamu had escaped on horseback from the other side of the city gate with hundreds of his followers.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Aix had few people to begin with, and they couldn't even keep track of over 10,000 prisoners. They simply couldn't spare the troops to guard all the city gates, so they could only let them escape for the time being.

As for the more than 2,000 soldiers in the city, some of them fled out of the city, while more of them hid in their homes, relatives' homes, or some empty and unguarded buildings in the city.

Aix took advantage of this situation. He first sent local people to shout along the streets, telling the people in the city that there were rioters burning, killing and looting in the city, and that martial law was now in effect. Everyone should stay at home honestly. Those who violated the rules would be arrested and made into slaves, and those who dared to resist would be killed without mercy.

Then they sent troops to isolate the city into eight areas, with 500 soldiers dispatched to each area to search and seize any armed personnel they encountered, such as servants, guards, bodyguards, etc., and took away and detained them. They took the opportunity to disarm all the armed forces in the city, and at the same time confiscated the weapons and armor they found, thus extinguishing the only remaining spark of resistance in the city.
