Chapter 187 Ignite the Warehouse
"Didn't you say that you want to help us distract the guards?" the prairie man asked in a low voice after entering the warehouse.

"Don't panic, I'll go in first to see if there are many guards in the warehouse. I think we need to find a way to lure them away." Rhodes explained, "Or we can simply stay in the warehouse to avoid being shot by Nord's archers." became a sieve."

"Are you scared?" The prairie man glanced at Rhodes and said disdainfully, "Huh, the people of the wolf god are not as courageous as you. If you are scared, go away, I am too lazy to talk to cowards. Let me figure out a way for the shield of my door."

Rhodes now feels that this prairie man is really talented.

He smiled, didn't say much, walked to a young soldier next to him, and asked him what he needed to do.

"You move the oil to the city wall, and be careful not to spill it on the stairs. The oil is very slippery when it flows on the ground. It is specially used to deal with the Nords' siege towers." The soldier replied, showing off that he knew a lot the meaning of.

Rhodes nodded, and walked in the direction the soldier pointed. At a corner, he took advantage of no one's attention and hid behind a row of boxes.

It would be great if there was a space ring, and I could pack all of these away, Rhode thought as he looked at the wrist-thick arrows in the box.

These arrows were for the bed crossbows on the city wall, and he felt that he would definitely not be able to hold the bed crossbow arrows, provided that they could hit him.

He bowed his body and walked towards his gunpowder box. Some of the two boxes of gunpowder spilled out, and he took it away again, leaving only one box.

However, it shouldn't be a big problem to destroy the entire warehouse with those oils.

This warehouse mainly stores ironware. Even if it is burned, it can still recover a lot of losses with some time.

Rhodes felt that there seemed to be a forbidden magic circle set up in this warehouse. It should be to guard against some uneasy and kind people like him, and ran to the warehouse to ignite the oil with magic.

However, he could use his internal force to ignite the oil with his flame palm, but he didn't know if the explosive flame palm would hurt himself if it touched the oil.

Rhodes bowed his body and moved the wooden box full of gunpowder towards the position where the oil barrel was placed.

He suddenly had an idea, pour out a little of the oil in the oil drum, then pour the gunpowder in, and bring the oil pot filled with gunpowder and oil to the city wall, maybe it will have a magical effect.

It just so happens that the wooden barrel in his system space still has a lot of space. The last time he poured water into the pit, there are many spaces vacated. It should be no problem to hold a few barrels of oil.

Rhodes came to an oil barrel full of oil, took out the barrel from the system space, then lifted the oil barrel and poured the oil into the barrel, and finally filled the gunpowder in the wooden box into the half-empty oil barrel. bucket.

After covering the lid of the oil drum, Rhodes walked out of the warehouse with an oil drum in one hand. He had already made up his mind to mess up the city wall first, and then try to destroy the warehouse.

After leaving the warehouse, Rhodes saw a group of soldiers put the arrows of a large box of bed crossbows into something like an elevator, and many people worked together to turn the winch to lift the "elevator" to the city wall.

"Don't be in a daze, go to the city wall." A man dressed as an officer shouted at Rhodes.

After hearing this, Rhodes walked towards the stairs of the city wall. The stairs were very steep and more than 20 meters high. There were no guardrails, and even the timid people would not dare to walk on them.

Rhodes, who was carrying two large pots of oil, slowly walked up the stairs. Walking too fast wearing armor and carrying things would consume a lot of energy. To be on the safe side, he was still paddling now, and no one was urging him anyway.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the city wall of the fortress. The wall stacks were built so high that Rhodes, who was about 1.8 meters tall, could completely hide behind the wall stacks just by bowing his head slightly.

"Didn't you say that the siege has already started?" Rhodes asked a somewhat familiar bearded mercenary.

"That was a trick of the Nords. I heard that after they killed the group of knights, they suddenly sent a group of berserkers holding shields and carrying siege ladders to rush towards the fortress, scaring the emperor into thinking that the Nords had officially started When we attacked, we asked someone to blow the horn, and those Nord berserkers were just trying to scare us, and they retreated when they heard the horn sounding." The bearded mercenary explained.

"The knights who went out of the city to attack the Nords succeeded?" Rhodes asked again.

"Of course not. I can imagine it. After the Nords saw a group of knights rushing out of the fortress, the group of perverted rangers didn't even line up. They killed all the knights who rushed out in less than a minute. It is said that they all hit their heads." Another mercenary beside him trembled.

"It is said that the Nords brought all their wealth with them this time. Don't raise your head after the battle, or your head will become a hornet's nest in an instant." The bearded mercenary said.

Rhodes nodded. Although Nord's archers are powerful, archers alone are not enough to break through the fortress.

He noticed that the soldiers on the city wall had completely different auras from those he had seen before. Although the armor on their bodies was somewhat damaged, their eyes were terrifyingly sharp, and they were all veterans who had experienced many battles.

Rhodes carefully observed the layout of the lower city wall again, and found that the reason for not bringing up all the items in the warehouse might be that there was simply not enough to pile them up.

Several boxes of arrows were placed neatly next to each bed crossbow, and a pot, several barrels of oil, and bags of large stones were placed on every few wall stacks.

Rhodes looked at the city wall full of soldiers and felt that his strength alone was a bit weak.

He noticed the sound of fighting coming from near the warehouse. From a distance, he saw that prairie man and several other mercenaries clashed with some soldiers in the warehouse below, and they were fighting fiercely.

It should be that they were found stealing the shield. Rhodes thought this was a good opportunity, and he walked down the stairs to the bottom of the city wall.

He swaggered up the stairs. Some soldiers standing on the stairs saw the armor Rhodes was wearing and the coat of arms on the shield. They all thought he was some knight they didn't know, and none of them didn't come forward. stop.

The soldiers near the warehouse gathered in one place to surround the mercenaries. Rhodes walked into the warehouse through another door, took off the lobster gauntlet, and silently killed the soldiers in the warehouse with his finger in the air. Then he went to the place where the oil barrels were placed, took two oil barrels around the warehouse and started pouring oil.

The oil path extends all the way to the outside of the warehouse. There is no forbidden magic circle outside the warehouse. Rhodes used the Flame Tongue Technique he learned last night. Although this magic is weak, it is still no problem to use it to light oil.

After Rhode ignited the oil with the Flame Tongue Technique, he left the scene calmly, and the flame behind him spread along the oil on the ground and entered the warehouse...
