Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 444
Rhode finally decided to use violence to break open the city gate, believing that the loud noise of breaking open the city gate would not only boost his own morale, but also shock all the imperial soldiers on the city wall.

He rushed to the bottom of the city wall, took out a war hammer from the space ring, twisted his body and swung the war hammer with all his strength to hit the heavy city gate in front of him.

Boom!
A loud noise exploded in everyone's ears.

The heavy city gate was smashed with a big hole by Rhodes' hammer and opened directly backwards, and the iron chain behind the gate was also snapped.

Rhodes didn't use his internal force, but only used his body's original strength. He didn't expect to smash the city gate open with one blow.

The horn sounded behind him, and then he felt the ground shake, and all the Nord soldiers behind him charged towards the city.

After Rhodes walked into the city gate, he turned his light work and floated into the air, falling towards a group of people in gorgeous armor.

They should be the commanders defending the city. As long as they are killed, the ordinary soldiers on the city wall will definitely put down their weapons and surrender.

Rhodes fell among these nobles in gorgeous armor, and they drew their weapons and retreated.

The raging sword energy erupted centered on Rhodes, countless blood spattered, and all the surrounding nobles were crushed. They didn't even utter a scream, and the gorgeous armor on their bodies couldn't provide them with protection.

Rhodes held up Han Ye, and several sword qi shot out along the sword body, and the rows of soldiers surrounding him were cut into several sections.

Nord's soldiers also entered the city through the city gate. They sang Nord's battle hymn in unison and climbed onto the city wall. The surrounding imperial soldiers became more flustered, as if they were about to be defeated at any time.

Rhodes walked on the city wall and killed another group of nobles all the way.

The leading nobleman was an old man, his hair and eyebrows were all gray, and he looked quite old, but he still stayed on the city wall and commanded hoarsely.

"Surrender, your resistance is meaningless, it will only increase your soldiers' lives in vain." Rhodes said to the old man after he chopped off a group of guarding knights with his sword.

"If everyone chooses to raise their hands and surrender after guessing the outcome of the battle, then our country would have been destroyed countless years ago. Our sacrifice is meaningful. Every time we kill one more person, the compatriots behind will die One less enemy to face." The old man didn't surrender or resist, but said to Rhodes in a flat tone.

"Although none of us are your opponents, our empire will definitely send strong men to deal with you. That day will not be far away, so let's do it!"

Rhodes shook his head helplessly, waved Han Ye lightly, and the nobleman's head fell to the ground.

He took a deep breath, and quickly shuttled across the city wall with Han Ye, harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the empire.

Rhodes felt that if he killed one more imperial soldier now, the possibility of those soldiers he brought surviving the war would increase by one point.

Even though the most senior noble commanders were killed by Rhodes, those mid- and low-level officers still led the soldiers to resist tenaciously, without any sign of collapse, and instead began to fight more and more courageously.

These soldiers should have been residents of this city originally, and they still have relatives and friends in this city. They are not only fighting for the ruler of the city, but more for those relatives and lovers who are very important to them.

Rhodes rushed into the command tower on the city wall, but there was no one inside. It may be that all those who should have stayed in the command tower had been killed by him on the city wall.

It should be that those commanders didn't expect the Nord Kingdom's attack to be so sudden, so they all gathered together and stood on the city wall to observe the situation, and then they were caught by Rhodes who broke through the city wall.

Rhodes left the command tower and returned to the city wall, continuing to kill the imperial soldiers on the city wall.

Some soldiers were going to shoot him with bed crossbows, but Rhodes directly caught the thigh-thick crossbow arrows in front of them with his bare hands.

Not long after, the battle came to an end. Un'Goro was only a medium-sized city with only three or four thousand defenders.

And Rhodes and his soldiers had two or three times as many soldiers as them, not to mention that Rhodes alone killed hundreds of imperial soldiers.

Therefore, the battle was over within an hour, and it happened to be the hottest time in the afternoon. Rhodes wiped off the sweat and blood on his body, and went under the city wall to find Slade and the others.

Even though this was a smooth battle, the soldiers of the Nord Kingdom still suffered heavy casualties, at least hundreds of people were killed.

However, almost all the soldiers defending the city were killed in battle, and many residents of the city who came to defend the city spontaneously died.

"The Marquis of Foss told you to find him in the castle in the middle of the city when you come back." Rudolph said to Rhodes.

Rhodes nodded. When he was fighting on the city wall just now, he saw the Marquis of Foss running towards the center of the city with some soldiers.

They should have planned to attack the city's castle before the imperial people in the city could react.

The battle in the castle must have ended, otherwise the soldiers he brought would have been arranged to help the Marquis of Foss in the castle.

"Stay where you are and rest well. Remember to restrain the soldiers and don't let them enter the city to harass the residents." Rhodes said to Rudolph.

"Okay, my lord." Rudolph replied.

Rhodes rode a war horse, walked through the streets scattered with corpses, and rushed to the castle in the middle of the city. Like the city wall, the smell of blood was so strong that Rhodes wanted to gag.

It is still hot summer, if these corpses are not disposed of, all the residents of this city will suffer.

Rhodes found the Marquis of Foss who was appointing the loss in the castle hall. Next to him were Count Dario, Count Asset, and a group of minor nobles such as barons and lords.

"Please take a seat." The Marquis of Foss said with a smile after seeing Rhodes enter the castle.

"I never thought that human beings could break open the city gate directly with the strength of their bodies. I thought you could use some magic. You look more like a mage." Earl Dario sighed.

"Actually, I'm also a mage. Next time if I have a chance, I can show you how to break through the city gate with magic." Rhodes replied with a smile.

"We should hurry up and talk about what to do next, whether we should immediately support other nobles, or stay in this city for a while, and then support others after we completely control the city." Ah Earl Seth suddenly spoke.

"I think we can also split up our troops and keep some of them. I will take the rest to support Marquis Fred who is attacking Rock Fort closest to us." Marquis of Foss said.
