A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

The fox and wolf were delighted.

She knew very well that this battle could not last long.

The Gvarans are, after all, the nobles of Novgorod! They'll send reinforcements soon.

If the cavalry traveled day and night, it would only take a day or even less to get from Novgorod.

There was no need even for a Grand Duke, as the Gwalans themselves had allies among the Chuds.

In other words, the time that Shadow Wolf acted recklessly here was actually only about half a day.

Reinforcements may arrive at any time half a day later.

Even if there are three mercenary groups with more than a thousand people, it would be easy to get into a difficult situation.

So, just stall for time...

"Burn this place down." Thomas' voice suddenly came.

The fox wolf was shocked! Burned?

She looked around and saw that the trading station was not yet completed and there were a lot of wood and other things inside.

In a warehouse that just collapsed, barrels of grease can be seen.

"We just happen to have some grease... Gather the archers, use the fire arrows, and burn everything here," Thomas said generously to the mercenary captain. "I'll give you an extra 3,000 florins later for the bows and arrows. Don't be stingy!"

Hearing this, the mercenary captain naturally did not hesitate at all and ran out to gather archers.

Thomas stood beside the central warehouse of the trading post with a smile on his face.

"It seems these guards do have some tricks up their sleeves... But it doesn't matter." He stretched out his palm and gently stroked the wooden wall of a warehouse. "Just burn it all down."

"Sir! No! Once a fire is started here, the nature of the situation will be completely different. The sound of gunfire can only travel a limited distance, but with fire, the smoke column can be seen even in Novgorod."

The fox wolf suppressed his anxiety and squeezed out a voice to persuade him.

After all, this trading station is a mixed civil and wooden structure.

A fire can cause severe damage, making recovery difficult.

Furthermore, some of these warehouses were not empty, but instead contained furs, oils, and medicinal materials.

These are from the Chude tribe, temporarily placed here.

Although it is not gold, silver or treasure, it is actually very valuable.

Once burned...

"Don't worry, even if they come, it will take at least half a day." Thomas didn't care. "In half a day, the fire will be burned out!"

The fox wolf wanted to persuade him again, but he saw a hint of impatience in the envoy's eyes when he looked at him.

She could only shut up.

Soon, the mercenaries began making rockets using readily available grease.

The fox wolf became more and more anxious, but he had no good way to solve the problem.

Chapter 228: War 4

Building a rocket is actually very easy.

Just wrap some greased cloth around the arrow.

If you don't have the fabric strips, anything else is fine.

The key is grease. If there is not enough grease, the rocket will not burn for long after ignition, and may even go out in the air. But by chance, there is plenty of grease in the cargo here.

Soon, dozens of rockets were put on bowstrings and aimed at the interior of the castle.

"Shoot!" With the commander's order, a wave of arrows flew in.

Then the second wave of rockets was loaded, and the commander lit them one by one with a torch.

The one-eyed wolf watched the archers shooting from the side, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

He also has investments here, but of course not as much as Fox and Wolf.

To have it destroyed like this is really...very painful.

Looking back at the fox wolf, the woman seemed calm, but that was because of the mask.

Beneath the mask, he must be gritting his teeth.

Just as he was thinking this, the second wave of rockets had already been launched.

Several figures leaped into the sky and suddenly rushed out from inside the castle.

Completely unconventional, he simply tapped his toes against the wall and used the momentum to leap towards me. The movement was beyond common sense, like a giant bird soaring through the air.

The speed was too fast and too sudden, and the surrounding mercenaries did not react.

But he came straight towards Thomas.

"Interesting!" Thomas waited there but did not move.

Seeing that the guards inside had no reaction, he didn't expect that the other party had been waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack and behead him.

Obviously, the other party was not stupid enough to just stand there and get beaten. During the waiting and observation process just now, they determined that the people on Thomas' side were the leaders of the army.

To defeat the strong with the weak, to defeat the many with the few, beheading is the best option.

But... there are a lot of people here! Among other things, the five people from Wolf's Den (including Thomas) are all wearing masks.

Only three people rushed over.

Can you tell who the boss is? If you choose the wrong target at the first moment, you will have no chance at all.

"Protect the master!" A loud shout came from behind.

Four wolves rushed up, surrounding Thomas from front to back and left to right.

Now, even a fool would know that Thomas in the middle is the target.

The first enemy changed direction and flew towards Thomas.

According to inertia, he should have landed more than ten steps in front of Thomas, but for some reason, his body rose high in the air and he passed directly over the fox and wolf blocking the front and rushed straight towards Thomas.

Thomas shook his hand and the sword was already in his hand.

The opponent held a scimitar in his hand and slashed it down in the air with tremendous force.

Unfortunately, as soon as the swords touched, the electric current instantly made the opponent's whole body numb.

Although he had the upper hand in terms of strength, it was useless because he couldn't use any moves to press the advantage. Instead, Thomas kicked him randomly while he was motionless, hitting him square in the face and sending him flying.

Several mercenaries rushed forward, slashing and stabbing with swords and spears. Although the unlucky man was very capable, he was paralyzed by the electric shock and could only watch helplessly as he was killed by the sword.

Of course, the second enemy also came at this time.

If Thomas hadn't dealt with the first one, then the two-on-one situation would have been somewhat dangerous.

But since Thomas took care of the first one with one move, the situation was completely different.

But the fox-wolf shouted loudly and refused to let the man pass.

Her weapon is a swift sword.

The two men fought quickly, exchanging more than ten moves.

The other wolves also came over and blocked the third one.

Seeing that they couldn't defeat the fox and wolf, Thomas still waited calmly. Suddenly, a strange bird-like cry emanated from his mouth.

This is the signal to retreat.

The fox wolf suddenly staggered, as if it had stepped into a pothole. This gave the other man an opportunity, and he turned and ran.

Several mercenaries came to block the way, but this man suddenly jumped into the air, his body rising higher in the air again, and he actually jumped over the mercenaries' obstruction and returned directly to the city wall.

The city wall could stop the enemy, but it couldn't stop him. He just jumped up from the wall and went straight back to the city.

The fox wolf secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but looked to the other side.

The other raider had no chance to escape, for Thomas had already drawn his flintlock pistol.

No matter how fast a person runs, he can never compare to a bullet. The man was about to leave when he heard a gunshot and was shot in the head.

Three people came for a surprise attack and beheaded the enemy, but two of them were killed directly and only one escaped.

Damn, this Shadow Wolf is really powerful.

She had just pretended to fight with him, but in fact she was looking for an opportunity to let him go.

If she hadn't deliberately let them go, none of the three attackers would have escaped.

Returning to Thomas's side, she immediately expressed her apology.

"Sir! I tried my best but failed to stop this man. He escaped. Please punish me!"

"Punishment?" Thomas chuckled.

Then he slapped her in the face.

It wasn't an ordinary slap, but a powerful blow.

The fox wolf was knocked sideways by the huge force and rolled several times on the ground.

The masks were all knocked off.

She felt dizzy and her head was heavy. Although she was lying on the ground, she felt as if everything around her was spinning.

After a long time, she finally managed to get up. A feeling of nausea and vomiting came over her, causing her to dry heave a few times.

The heavy blow caused a gap in her memory, and it took her a long time to understand what had happened.

I was actually beaten! My whole cheek was swollen.

Intense pain spread from my cheek to my entire body.

The rage in the fox wolf's heart rose wildly, mixed with intense fear.

"Sir, please forgive me!" The fox wolf took a deep breath and managed to suppress the hatred and fear in his eyes. "There will definitely not be a next time!"

Fortunately, half of his face was swollen and no expression could be seen.

As long as she could get through this time, as long as she could leave, she would definitely try her best, mobilize all her connections, and kill this Shadow Wolf!

I can't care about anything else.

She was already afraid.

This Shadow Wolf is either a moody person...

Or maybe they were already highly suspicious of the four of us, but just hadn't gotten any solid evidence yet.

If she doesn't take action first, she will die at the hands of this man sooner or later!

Author's words: I was on duty all day today and really didn't have time to write.

Chapter 229: War 5

The rockets are still going on over there.

There was actually no reaction when the first and second waves of rockets were fired, at least it was not visible from the outside.

But by the ninth and tenth waves of rockets, thick smoke could be seen rising from inside.

Something ignited.

The guards inside could no longer hold on. Suddenly, the city gates were opened.

The people trapped inside launched a breakout.

The first wave of musketry knocked down a large number of people who rushed out.

Moreover, these mercenaries all had sufficient combat experience, and none of them fired all their muskets in one wave.

Instead, they were divided into two rows, one row loading and the other firing, to create a continuous firepower.

This was already the prototype of the later practice of queuing for execution.
