Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 195 Victory and Conflict

While searching for the valuable items on the mage, Rhodes observed the situation on the field. He felt that the Roman Empire had gradually begun to collapse.

Under the leadership of the Nord man in black keel armor, the Nord soldiers killed all the imperial soldiers on a staircase, and then they followed the stairs to the inside of the fortress.With a breakthrough, the giant shield soldiers and spearmen on the city wall could no longer exert the same effect as before. Instead, they could only hold on to the city wall.

Then Nord's archers also boarded the city wall, and Rhodes saw countless arrows flying towards the imperial soldiers on the stairs.

Many mercenaries sensed that the situation was not good, and they started looking for opportunities to sneak away regardless of whether they had received the money.Some mercenaries estimated that they would rob the inside of the fortress to make up for their losses, and then leave the fortress through the south gate.

Although the Nords can only attack the north gate of the fortress, there are still soldiers staying at the south gate of the fortress. It is estimated that there will be a fierce battle at the south gate.

Rhodes took off the mage's purple mage robe, the ring on his hand, and the necklace around his neck.Besides that, he didn't even have a penny on him.

The mage's wealth must have been left elsewhere, and he only had some equipment that could increase his combat effectiveness.

Rhodes took out the two-handed sword from the space ring, and ran to the remaining crossbowmen, who continued to attack the Nords under the supervision of the officers.

This time Rhodes aimed at those officers. He felt that as long as the leading officers died, the crossbowmen would flee by themselves.

It was relatively easy to distinguish an officer from an ordinary crossbowman. The equipment on those officers was better. Not only was the armor more glamorous, but the crossbow in their hands also looked more intimidating.

The two-handed sword in Rhode's hand is somewhat difficult to deal with knights wearing heavy armor, but it is still very easy to deal with the crossbowmen wearing chain mail or leather armor in front of them.

Basically, you can kill one with one or two swords.

"That butcher is coming again!" A crossbowman shouted loudly, and he noticed that Rhodes was running towards them covered in blood.

When the other crossbowmen heard this, their attack rhythm was disrupted. They all looked at Rhodes and pointed their crossbows at him.

"Don't panic! Hold your formation! Keep shooting at the Nords on the walls!" shouted an officer, trying to keep his men calm.

After Rhodes killed an officer with a one-handed long sword trying to stop him, he used the mage ball to float himself into the air and shouted, "You are surrounded! Put down the weapons in your hands, and I won't kill you!"

"He only has one person, but we have so many people! Don't be afraid, as long as we are united, ahhh!" An officer responded loudly. Before he could finish his sentence, Rhodes used the mage ball to lift him into the air again. He fell to the ground and died in pain.

"I always keep my word, as long as you surrender, I won't kill you!" Rhodes shouted loudly.

The crossbowmen in front of him who had already been defeated by him were a little hesitant. Rhodes believed that as long as one person could take the lead, others would follow suit.

"I surrender!" A middle-aged crossbowman shouted after throwing the crossbow in his hand on the ground.

"Do you know what you're doing? The Empire will never forgive you! Think about your family." An officer shouted angrily at the middle-aged crossbowman.

The middle-aged crossbowman punched the officer in the face.

"You still have the nerve to mention my family to me? I was only 16 years old when I was forced to enlist in the army. More than 20 years have passed, and I only got the chance to return to my hometown last year. As a result, my family is no longer alive, and I am the only one living alone. , I also want to marry a wife and have children to continue the bloodline." The middle-aged crossbowman pinched the officer's neck with one hand, and fisted him with the other hand.

"I surrender too." A young crossbowman said weakly, he dropped the crossbow in his hand and crouched on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the other crossbowmen dropped their crossbows and crouched on the ground.

Even the few remaining crossbowmen dressed as officers made the same move.

Rhodes returned to the ground. He felt that if so many crossbowmen surrendered, he would definitely be able to obtain the title.

Some imperial soldiers saw that the two hundred crossbowmen dropped their weapons and surrendered. Some of them began to flee, while others also dropped their weapons and squatted in place. Only a very small number of them chose to continue fighting.

Ten minutes later, the battle was completely over.

At the end of the battle, many nobles saw that the battle was settled, and they left the fortress with their families' troops.In fact, after the Nords boarded the city wall, they began to waver, withdrawing their family soldiers to a safer position, ready to evacuate at any time.

The giant shield soldiers and spearmen on the city wall, the soldiers on the stairs, and the crossbowmen captured by Rhodes are all troops stationed in the fortress, directly belonging to the emperor, not to any other nobles, who only have part of their command.

Most of the soldiers were led by King Nord to surround the castle in the fortress, leaving only a few soldiers to take care of the wounded and clean up the battlefield.

"I'm on your side. I captured all these crossbowmen." Rhodes said after seeing a Nord nobleman approaching him with a group of Nord soldiers.

This nobleman was wearing black chain mail and a horned helmet on his head. He was tall and tall, a head taller than Rhodes who was 1.8 meters tall.

"Now they are my captives." The Nord nobleman said in a cold tone.

"Are you dreaming?" Rhode stood up.

"No matter how nonsense you are, you are also one of my captives." The Nord nobleman said expressionlessly.

Rhodes would not give up his military exploits to this person for nothing, he sneered, and threw the nobleman in front of him with the mage ball.

The nobleman got up and stared at Rhodes angrily.

"Kill this ignorant kid." He gave an order to his family soldiers.

After killing so many people, Rhodes felt that his anger was much heavier.Without thinking about the consequences, he swung his two-handed sword at the soldier who was rushing forward.

Before the soldier could react, Rhodes chopped off his head with a sword.The other soldiers stabbed Rhodes with their swords without fear.

Rhodes didn't block or parry at all, allowing them to stab their swords on him.

The soldiers in front of them were shocked, and were all killed by Rhodes with a sword.

The Nord soldiers who only wore leather armor couldn't even stop Rhodes' sword. Several of them had their necks cut off by Rhodes, and a few unlucky ones were cut off in the middle, and they didn't die immediately, they were still crawling on the ground .

He took the initiative to approach the Nord soldiers in front of him with a two-handed sword dripping with blood, and they took a few steps back in fear.

Rhodes snorted coldly and walked towards the Nord nobleman.

The nobleman roared, raised his battle ax and rushed towards Rhodes. Rhodes swung upwards, cutting off most of his arm holding the prisoner of war.

"Ah!" the noble screamed in pain, clutching his arms.

Rhodes kicked him to the ground and stomped on his face.

"Now do you want to be one of my captives? Or do you want your head soaked in lime water to be my trophy?" Rhode stepped on the face of the Nord nobleman and asked with a smile...
