Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 446

The defenders of Rock Fortress were even smaller than the Angolo they captured before, and with the temporary militia, there were only about 2000 people. However, because of the steep terrain, Rock Fortress was more difficult to capture than Angolo.

After the Marquis Fred and the others arrived here yesterday, it didn't take long to make the siege equipment. This morning he led an army to attack the Rock Fortress, but in the end he retreated in disgrace.

The battering ram couldn't hit the rocky gate of the Rock Fort at all, and because of the surrounding terrain and a court mage in the Rock Fort, the siege ladder they made couldn't be placed at all.

"I'll go see if this city gate can be broken by myself later." Rhodes, who was sitting in the tent, said after listening to Viscount Max's narration.

"You'd better prepare in advance. If I can break through the city gate, I will directly order the soldiers to charge." He stood up and said again.

"Earl Rhodes, I think it's better not to work hard on the soldiers. They have only experienced a battle in the morning. If they are prepared this time but return without success, it will hurt morale." Earl Acet also stood up. continued:
"And Rock Castle is not like Un'Goro. The city gates there are made of wood. There hasn't been a war in that city for a long time, and the city gates haven't been replaced or maintained for many years. It says Maybe they are already decayed, so it is not too strange to be smashed open by you with a hammer.

But the rock castle in front of us is different. The gate of the castle is made of stone like the city wall, and it is covered with a layer of iron. I think you should not waste the spirit and physical strength of the soldiers. They need a good rest now . "

Rhodes raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect the Earl of Acet to come out and sing against him again. He thought that the last record would convince him, and he didn't know why he would be so firm now.

Count Asset sneered in his heart, he had no affection for Rhodes from the first moment he saw him.

Why would a kid who came out of nowhere, without any noble blood in his body, be able to sit on an equal footing with me before he was 20 years old, and even Marquis Fred and the others would pay more attention to him and leave me alone?
I am the sole heir of an ancient aristocratic family. The ancestors have worked hard to obtain a hereditary earl title. What about him?
"I think Earl Rhodes can still try it. Anyway, even if it fails, it won't have any impact, what do you think?" The Marquis of Foss turned to look at Marquis Fred.

"I've been planning to let him try it all along. It seems that the person you brought raised the objection. No one on our side has spoken yet." Marquis Fred said with a strange expression on his face.

"Then I'll try it now," Rhodes said.

Although he can also paddle, if he chooses to use his full strength, the casualties on their side will be much less. These noble soldiers can also be regarded as his future subordinates.

"Be careful." The Marquis of Foss said, and he and the nobles next to him stood up and walked outside the tent with Rhodes.

The nobles who were with Marquis Fred have not said anything, probably because of their failure in the morning, they are not in a good mood.

Rhodes nodded, took the family flag, rode a horse and walked towards Rock Fort.

A middle-aged nobleman who was watching the Nord barracks on the wall of the Rock Fortress, saw Rhodes on a horse, turned his head to an old man wearing a mage robe and said, "Hmph, these despicable Nords Manzi probably intends to negotiate with me, trying to persuade us to surrender.

I really don't know how their brains grow, they are obviously not my opponents, they retreated in disgrace just now, and now they still want to surrender? "

This noble middle-aged man is the owner of Rock Castle, Earl Ricardo.

"God is fair. He gave the Nords a strong body and a brain that doesn't work well." said the old man in the mage's robe.

"Later, please use a powerful magic to kill the man who came on horseback. By the way, you can frighten these stupid Nords. Anyway, we still have a lot of food in our castle, so we can talk to them After a few weeks, I don't believe their supplies can keep up." The middle-aged nobleman sneered.

Rhodes was riding a horse on the rugged mountain road. He felt that the war horse under him carried him on this kind of mountain road very hard, and he also considered that the war horse would definitely die in vain later.

So he got off the horse, let the horse run back to the barracks behind him, and walked towards the Rock Fort not far away, carrying the flag by himself.

This time, the people on the city wall did not shoot arrows at him, and no one attacked him with the bed crossbow on the city wall. The plan to test the defense of the golden dragon scale armor failed again.

He carried the flag and walked towards Rock Fort step by step. Suddenly he felt a powerful wave of magic power coming from ahead, and the next moment he saw a huge orange fireball flying towards him.

Here comes the opportunity to test.

Rhodes didn't dodge, and was directly hit by the orange fireball.

The orange flame exploded, turning into a sea of ​​flames with a diameter of more than ten meters, submerging Rhodes in it.

"We seem to have killed him." Marquis Fred stood in the barracks and looked at the orange flames burning in the distance, and sighed.

Even though they were so far away from the ground, they could still feel the terrifying power of that orange fireball.

Earl Acet also sighed: "It's all my fault, if only I had persuaded him at that time."

Although he said so on the surface, he couldn't help being ecstatic in his heart.

"He won't necessarily die." The Marquis of Foss said looking at the orange flames, and he remembered what happened in Ebony City a few years ago.

Rhodes, who was bathed in the orange flames, didn't feel anything special.

This time he successfully tested the magic resistance of the golden dragon scale armor. If Rhodes hadn't worn this set of armor, he might have been slightly injured.

The sorcerer in the castle was almost at the fifth level of strength, but he didn't hurt Rhodes who was wearing dragon scale armor, although this was also related to the flame-type spell used by the sorcerer.

Rhodes felt that even if it was replaced with lightning magic that was more restrained, if it was used by a mage below the fifth level, it would probably not cause him any injuries.

He started his lightness kung fu and charged towards the wall of Rock Fortress.

He stepped on the vertical wall, as if walking on flat ground, and rushed towards the only old man on the wall wearing a mage's robe.

The old mage waved his hands, and countless fireballs exploded in front of Rhodes like fireworks, but they didn't hurt him at all.

Rhodes used his internal energy and punched the old mage, shattering a piece of rock-like armor that had just formed on his body.

The old mage spat blood out of his mouth and flew backwards.
