Destiny Thief

Chapter 156 Recurrence of HistoryⅧ
"Avoid!"

Markuro almost roared in a hoarse voice, and the mercenaries and guards around him became embarrassed under the blow of the ballista—in most cases, the power of war machines is not the power of ordinary people's flesh Can fight.Crossbow bolts as thick as children's arms poured down on them like a torrential rain. Some people who couldn't find a suitable place to hide for a while had to barely hold up the shields in their hands.

But in order to ensure the mobility of breaking through, all they carried were cavalry bucklers, which were not much bigger than a large dinner plate.Compared with the giant tower shields used by hoplites for advancement and position defense, the protection provided by them is almost worth mentioning - the tip of the crossbow arrow is a sharp shuttle, like a spear, these are from battleships The disassembled weapons showed how terrifying they were. The moment Makuro roared, a shower of blood with pieces of flesh bloomed in front of his eyes.

Rolfes, the captain of the third squadron of the "Song of Ashes" mercenary group who uses a giant scythe.He didn't have any armor like a shield in his hand, and his tall body also made it difficult to dodge so neatly. He swung the scythe into a ball of shining white light, and he swung two crossbows in succession. The force of the impact forced him to stagger back.As soon as Markuro's voice fell, another crossbow arrow attacked him, but under the aftermath of the impact, he had no time to stabilize his figure, and the wind pressure from the crossbow enveloped his whole body.

"Rolfis!"

The head of the mercenary group, Heinrich, roared.Rolfes founded "Song of Ashes" together with him. Apart from their identities in the mercenary regiment, the two are still close old friends in private. For more than 20 years, he has traveled all over the kingdom, whether it is the dangerous swamps and forests in the south, or the bitter cold land in the extreme north, whether it is the exploration of ancient ruins, or the sixth Eta war, all the battles he experienced along the way did not hurt him. This man is nothing, but today, he fell under a cold crossbow...

This is a common destination for mercenaries - under this wave of ferocious long-range strikes, there are not a few casualties in the team, but they don't have much time to indulge in grief.The crisp sounds of reeds and mechanisms rang faintly in their ears again. The enemy they faced, the Royal Navy of Afron, was reloading the crossbow arrows and preparing for the second wave of strikes.

Sai Lun glanced into the alleyway, and finally there was some smile on his face.He patted the shoulder of a young soldier next to him. This young man with a circle of fine hair on his lips was resetting the reed of the ejection mechanism. When he saw the officer appearing in front of him, his face was full of excitement and almost crazy, She squeezed out a smile showing two rows of white teeth.

"Good job, keep up the good work."

Sai Lun encouraged these soldiers. He was very satisfied with the results of this long-range strike. Nearly half of the enemy fell down.The siege at the other end was pressing, and several ballistas were also deployed. Mr. Baron ran into this alleyway, and he was in a desperate situation.

On the other hand, Marculo Escude is almost going crazy at this moment.A dozen young children of the Escud family and several old servants who had been with them for many years fell in a pool of blood. The fired crossbow bolts penetrated the wall and still trembled by themselves.Several holes were shot in some places, and you can see through the holes and cracks. The building behind the wall is a chamber of commerce warehouse - shops are opened along both sides of the street, and the warehouse is at the innermost part. These are the chambers of commerce of Aflon. Usually laid out.

escape?
Marculo gritted his teeth.Facing the ballista, a war machine that is under absolute control, and there are only a few of them, it seems that the outstanding strength of [Awakening Realm] is still not enough to rely on.He glanced back, and Xiao Qiya had already jumped off the horse. This was a foal she once loved, but in the wave of attacks just now, this animal was honorably sacrificed after being hit by three crossbow bolts. The bright red blood splashed all over Xiao Chia, her expression seemed to be blank, and Makuro grabbed her little arm:
"let's go!"

His whole body slammed into the wall, and the sharp bulge on the shoulder armor opened a big hole in the crack. Without any explanation, he pushed Little Chia over, and then he shouted, urging those young people with slightly weaker fighting power to come and The old man also got in, and he and the mercenary stayed temporarily as the latter.

Sai Lun's smile froze.

He didn't expect that the other party actually broke through the wall and was about to escape—in the city of Afron, there were two other teams coming on the way.The City Guards in Nancheng District and the Lord's Guards in the City Lord's Mansion, these two teams, especially the latter, have quite good combat effectiveness. Their total number is 3000...

The officers who participated in the impromptu meeting in the camp, including Salem of course, knew very well what the Baron's successful escape meant - if they could not seize this opportunity, defeat would be their only outcome.

Sai Lun raised his arm and issued a combat order.

The officers who reacted seemed to be crazy. They took the lead and rushed to the forefront, and no one cared about operating the ballista anymore. All the soldiers dispersed in formation and circled around the building behind the wall of the alleyway. , surrounded by groups.Then, some people frantically lit torches and threw them into the building!
They originally didn't want this battle to affect too many civilians, but they couldn't take care of too much in the immediate emergency—the merchants and fellows of this chamber of commerce fled in a hurry in the flames, and they saw large groups of soldiers appearing in front of them. in front of you.These soldiers had ferocious faces, with a bloodthirsty light in their eyes. They swung their long swords, and chased and killed all the figures they saw one by one.

I would rather kill by mistake than let it go.This was the last order given by Sai Lun.His heart had long lost the calmness and peace of the past, and he felt like a ferocious beast.

In the sky, the sunset glow is even redder, burning like a fire.

"Qia, don't be afraid. Wait, hold on for a while."

Markuro and most of the people around him had already separated. He gathered several mercenaries and accidentally found Little Chia from a corner of the warehouse—the girl was crying softly by a dusty wooden box.At this time, his heart felt numb, because his carelessness caused the family to suffer such heavy casualties.

"Cousin, little Chia. Are you here?"

A soft voice came from the dim light.Markuro's whole body couldn't help shaking like sifting chaff. He knew that he was finally waiting for reinforcements.
