Chapter 191 Siege
Rhodes used the Flame Palm against the row of ordinary wall-like shields in front of him, and the giant flame hand the size of a one-story house hit the shield wall only to stop them temporarily.

Is it a bit late to start forming such a formation when the city wall is about to fall, Rhodes thought as he looked at the row of shield walls slowly advancing towards him.

On the city wall more than 20 meters high, with such a formation, enemy soldiers can only wait to be slaughtered when they climb the city wall.

Rhodes noticed that there were also special shield soldiers and spearmen in other positions on the city wall in this formation, compressing the living space of the Nord warriors who climbed the city wall.

Rhodes used the mage ball to float himself, circled from the air to the back of the shield wall, and then used the flame palm again.

The front of this group of soldiers was protected by a row of two-meter-high shields, but their backs were unprotected. After Rhodes' flame palm exploded, the spearmen in the back row were all stunned by the explosion, and the giant shield soldiers in the front row He also lost his balance and couldn't stand upright.

Rhodes used the Flame Palm again, and the blast blast sent several Giant Shield Soldiers flying and fell off the city wall more than 20 meters high.

He used the mage ball to float in the air for no more than three seconds. Neither the archer nor the mage noticed him, and even if they did, they would not be able to react.

Rhodes took the two-handed sword and killed all the soldiers who were struggling to stand up again, and countless blood splashed on him, and the blood had already clotted on his hair before.

He had just seen what appeared to be the emperor retreating below the city wall, under the protection of a large group of imperial soldiers.

Rhodes slashed and killed all the way, and came to a staircase, which was full of soldiers who came to reinforce. The city wall was full of imperial soldiers before, and now most of them have turned into corpses.

Numerous crossbow bolts flew towards the city wall, and the defenseless Nord warriors also turned into corpses under the precise shooting of the crossbowmen.

Several crossbow bolts hit Rhode who was fighting with a knight. The sharp crossbow bolts hit Rhode's body as if hitting a hard steel plate, and directly bounced off and fell to the ground.

Rhodes was so focused on the battle that he didn't notice that there were several rows of imperial crossbowmen standing neatly under the city wall, but unexpectedly found that ordinary standard crossbows couldn't hurt him.

After realizing this, Rhodes used the mage ball, floated down from the city wall more than 20 meters high, and rushed towards the group of crossbowmen with two-handed swords.

Originally, the plan of the Roman Empire just now was to block the soldiers on the stairs so that the Nords could not come down from the city wall. The giant shield soldiers and spearmen compressed the activity space of the Nords. Germans shoot.

This approach is already a way for the Nords to minimize their own casualties after they climbed the city wall on a large scale.

The warehouse on the north side of the fortress was burned, and the hoarded supplies could not be transported to the city wall as planned to transform them into combat power, effectively preventing the Nords from climbing the city wall, and there were still two Nords on the city wall that the Roman Empire could not handle. So only this remedial decision can be made.

While killing these crossbowmen, Rhodes also noticed that the Nord man in black keel armor on the city wall was like a god of war, knocking down countless flaming imperial soldiers from the city wall with his giant axe.

He was surrounded by black and red flames, and the crossbow bolts could not penetrate the flames on his body at all, and the imperial soldiers could not get too close to him, otherwise their bodies would be ignited by the flames.

The previous Nord man with the double ax behaved a little more low-key, probably because he had exhausted a lot of energy, and the ice flakes scattered around his body disappeared, but no one could stop his footsteps.

The group of crossbowmen in front of Rhodes also couldn't hinder him in the slightest. No one in the Roman Empire would have thought that someone would be able to bypass the blocking of the imperial soldiers on the stairs and directly descend from the city wall more than 20 meters high, so none of these crossbowmen had Wearing melee weapons, you can only fight back with crossbows and crossbow bolts in your hands.

Rhodes didn't even need to cover the two-handed sword with a layer of sword energy to make these crossbowmen without weapons in their hands helpless.

He basically killed one of them with one sword. After he killed more than a dozen crossbowmen, three heavy armored soldiers of the Empire, wearing heavy armor and wearing a red cloak behind their backs and holding two-handed swords, appeared in front of Rhodes and surrounded him. live.

There are only more than 100 heavy armored soldiers in the entire Roman Empire, and each heavy armored soldier is stronger than ordinary knights. They can fight continuously for more than ten hours wearing steel armor weighing hundreds of kilograms.

Thick armor brings them unparalleled defense, and they are the most terrifying killing machines on the battlefield.

Rhodes used the mage ball to let himself float, and after breaking away from their siege, he rushed towards the other crossbowmen.

He didn't want to get entangled with these steel cans, it was meaningless. He knew that their armors were engraved with many magic circles, not only for physical damage, but even many magic spells were basically ineffective against them.

Otherwise, any powerful mage could easily kill them.

It has been confirmed countless times that most metal armors actually reduce people's resistance to destruction magic.

Rhodes swung his two-handed sword and quickly shuttled through the crowd. The formation formed by hundreds of crossbowmen was messed up by him alone, and the original expected effect was not even fully realized.

A group of noble knights rushed here with soldiers.

"All crossbowmen retreat temporarily." A noble knight shouted.

The crossbowman was relieved after receiving the order, and left here in a mess.

Although the crossbow is very powerful, it takes a long time to reload. Rhodes killed people like melons and vegetables in the hands of this group of crossbows. Although he didn't actually kill many people, it made these crossbowmen very panic and avoided everywhere. , there is no time to load the arrow and aim to attack the enemy.

Rhodes killed another crossbowman who wanted to escape with a sword. He looked up and found himself surrounded by a large group of people.

Under the leadership of the commander, the remaining crossbowmen rearranged and continued to shoot at the Nord warriors who were rushed together by the giant shield soldiers and spearmen on the city wall.

Rhodes wanted to use the mage ball to float himself out of the siege, but was surprised to find that he was banned.

"It's useless, you can't use magic here," said an old man wearing a mage's robe.

While this man was still talking nonsense, Rhodes used the air finger on him, but was blocked by a knight in red armor with a shield next to him.

"You butcher, you have killed so many of our brave warriors, and now I will destroy you on behalf of my lord." The knight raised his two-handed sword and rushed towards Rhodes.

Rhodes flashed the sword, thinking that he and the Knights of Dawn were really destined, and unexpectedly met another one in the Fortress of Glory...
