Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 202 Sudden Attack

Rhodes looked at the pieces of armor, two long swords and a shield in the space ring again.

At that time, he had carefully selected among the group of knights, choosing the most gorgeous and valuable armor and long sword without any damage.

Unfortunately, these are just ordinary steel equipment without any enchantments.

Rhodes felt that he needed to get a sharper magic weapon. Ordinary weapons would still be troublesome to deal with armored knights, unless he used a heavy weapon like a giant ax like Baron.

It is best to use a weapon that can burn flames or discharge all the time with particle effects. It looks handsome and can be used.

Rhodes tidied up the interspatial ring, freed up some space, and then walked towards the fortress.

He was going to go back to sleep. Although he had relieved some of his fatigue by running the Shenzhao Gong before, he was still a little tired after the day, especially after finishing all the planned things.

Walking quietly through the ruined streets, Rhodes returned to Gilbert's grocery store.

The door of the grocery store was smashed, and one could directly see the mess inside from the outside.

Was it robbed again?

Rhodes walked into the grocery store and walked to Gilbert's room. After seeing him sleeping on the bed safe and sound, Rhodes walked to the attic where he rested.

He found that the blood-stained and smelly bed sheet had been changed, and the bed was covered with an old-looking but clean sheet.

Rhodes put the night clothes back into the system space, fell on the bed, and soon fell asleep...

Baron sat in front of the table, relying on the faint light of the oil lamp, carefully reading the animal skin scroll that Rhodes gave him, which recorded the cultivation method of the iron cloth shirt.

For some reason, he often suffers from insomnia at night just like before. He didn't feel sleepy at all while lying in bed today, so he decided to get up and continue studying the animal skin scroll.

Baron stared at the animal skin scroll for a long time. For some reason, he felt that the words and grammar on the scroll were a bit strange. It looked very awkward. It seemed that it was written by someone who was not proficient in the common language of the mainland.

After pondering carefully for about half an hour, he found that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding before. The advanced state of this combat skill or martial arts is not only to train the body to be as hard as steel, but also to be as soft as cotton.

Just as he was concentrating, a horn sounded, pulling him back to reality.

what happened?Why did the horn of attack sound so late?Didn't they say to rest for one night before attacking?
Baron put down the scroll in his hand, picked up the huge ax in the corner and walked out of the room.

Although it was a rest, many Nord soldiers were too excited to sleep, looking for opportunities to "get rich" and vent in the fortress.

All the nobles turned a blind eye to this, even the King of Nord, who valued honor very much.

For ordinary soldiers, the pressure of death is temporarily relieved, and they all need to vent, otherwise some problems may arise.

However, King Nord still made some demands on the soldiers, warning them not to do violent things, otherwise he would personally confiscate their crime tools.

Baron put on his equipment and pushed open the door with his battle ax on his back, and met the Nord wearing black keel armor head-on.

"Why attack the castle now?" Baron stopped and asked.

"I don't know, I was a little sleepy earlier, so I handed over the command to that Yankee." The Nord in black keel armor shook his head.

"That Yankee who came here from the Far North Province to find his daughter, and then you tricked him into coming here?" Baron asked again.

"Who else is not him, and he is the only one here who has this qualification." The Nord replied.

"What kind of title are you going to give Rhodes? He has been wanting to become a nobleman recently, and he does have some military achievements. He not only captured the more than 200 crossbowmen, but also helped us a lot when we attacked the fortress. If I didn't If he guesses wrong, he set the warehouse on fire," Baron said.

"Give him an earl. I've already thought about the position of the territory. You know that it's a little bit reluctant to become an earl with such military exploits. I'm sure many nobles will be dissatisfied. After all, in their eyes, he is just an ordinary commoner." That Nord The man thought for a while and replied.

"I understand your difficulties. Announcing his identity is not good for everyone. The current country needs to be stable, so that it can be able to consume the Roman Empire's troops and prevent them from making trouble in the future." Baron sighed.

"The Chief Grand Maester's prophecy about him has failed, and I don't know if other prophecies are also wrong. If they are wrong, then what we are doing now in the past few years has no meaning other than causing unnecessary killings." said the Nord.

"Probably not. The chief maester's prediction was not wrong before that. I think his prediction about Rhodes may have another meaning. The prediction said that he would die in the winter at the age of 16, which may not be true. He died, but there has been a huge change, similar to a new life. I have been staying with him before, and I feel that he suddenly became a little different last winter." Baron said with a solemn expression.

"Maybe it's an adult, it's become mature. We'll talk about these things later, let's deal with the things in front of us first, and see why the Yankees let the army start attacking now." The Nord wearing black keel armor Walking down the stairs with the giant axe.

Baron also followed down the stairs.

When he reached the first floor, he looked in the direction of the castle. The castle in the distance was flickering with fire, and some places were still covered with frost.

It should be that the castle caught fire, and then the mages of the Roman Empire tried to put out the fire with ice spells in the destruction system, but the fire was too large and could only extinguish part of the flames.

Ice magicians in the destruction department are used to kill creatures, not to extinguish fires.

Baron smiled as he looked at the castle that was bursting with flames and smoke.

Whatever the reason for setting the castle on fire, it's a good thing for them.

Baron trotted to the vicinity of the castle wall, and there were already some topless Nord berserkers rushing towards the castle wall carrying the siege ladder in groups.

Baron was full of admiration for them in his heart. He had previously felt that each of these berserkers brought by the Yankee from the north was a real warrior.

Some of these berserkers were covered with crossbow bolts, and the wounds all over their bodies were bleeding continuously, but they still didn't stop, and rushed towards the wall while roaring loudly while carrying the siege ladder.

Siege at night has an impact on both sides. It is not easy for the Nord archers to give full play to their advantages, and the same is true for the crossbowmen of the Imperials.

Most of the crossbow arrows they fired missed their targets, and were wasted in vain.

Baron saw countless flaming arrows flying towards the walls of the castle. These arrows were shot at random, not expecting to hit anyone.

The arrows were wrapped with kerosene-soaked cloth, and even if they hit the enemy, they could not penetrate their armor and kill them.

These rockets are mainly used to intimidate and provide illumination for subsequent shots.

Baron didn't stay where he was to observe the situation on the battlefield. He took a huge ax and walked towards a siege ladder that had already been built on the wall...
