Chapter 370 The Destruction Begins

Inside the fortress castle, Petlev opened his eyes and rolled out of bed, looking at the familiar surroundings and trying to recall what happened before.

"Boom! Boom!" With the sound of artillery shells outside, Petlev woke up instantly, picked up the big sword beside him and rushed out of the door.

The moment the door opened, he was stunned. Women and children all over the corridor looked at him with frightened eyes. The sound of pushing the door just now frightened them.

"Your lord, you are finally awake! Lord Jira said that if you wake up, you should go to the city wall immediately." A tired soldier behind the door came out and said excitedly.

Seeing that it was Petlev, the people in the aisle all stood up, leaned against the wall to let the aisle out, and greeted him softly.

After losing his composure, Petlev immediately nodded and ran outside quickly. From his residence to the city wall, he could see city residents gathering quietly everywhere, with fear and hope in their eyes.

"Zira!! Do you know what a crime it is to attack the lord?!" Petlev walked up the city wall and saw Zira at the first sight, so he rushed up and asked angrily.

"That's great, my lord! You're awake! Pour some water for your lord." Jira, who was full of sorrow, stretched out after hearing Petlev's voice, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to pour water.

Petlev wanted to refuse, but found that he was really thirsty, took the container angrily, and drank it in one gulp. "You'd better tell me some good news, or I'll kick you out of here!!" Petlev was not in a hurry because after he came out of the house, he found that the siege had temporarily stopped, and the sound of artillery Although it came from time to time, it didn't seem to be attacking the enemy.

"My lord! The enemy army has suspended the siege, let us take a breath, the artillery is bombarding the houses around us, in order to create more obstacles, now there are 3 residents and more than [-] soldiers in the fortress area, and the residents who can be armed are only Less than [-], the food supply is difficult, and the soup for dinner has already begun to add sand, I hope we can wait until the arrival of reinforcements." Jila quickly explained the current situation.

Peterlev took the eagle glasses and looked outside the city wall. It was devastated. The only street leading to the fortress was no longer visible. The surrounding buildings were basically destroyed. The enemy was all stationed at the entrance of the outer city wall. The husband also saw a large number of giant bear corpses.

"How about the casualties of the Furious Knights?"

"Uh... my lord..."

"Is there anything else you can't say now?"

"There are [-] knights left in the Fury Knights..." Gila answered in a low voice like a child who did something wrong.

Petlev was silent for a while, but he could see the anger in his heart from the hands that clasped the eagle glasses.The Berserk Knights are his last trump card. They are the key to receiving support or defending against the enemy, but now there are only 300 people left.

"Mammoth? Where is it? Why isn't it in the city?" Petlev immediately thought of the enemy's big killer, and only they could cause such heavy damage to the Furious Knights at once.

"The War Mammoth retreated after we all entered the fortress. It was not it that caused heavy casualties to the Furious Knights, but a group of enemies whose bodies were [-]% armored. They followed the Mammoth into the city. The Furious Knights were no match for them... "Jira felt a little scared when he thought about the scene before entering the fortress. If there were only a few of them, he might not take them seriously at all, but they were fully-organized heavy armored troops. The Bear Knights were not vulnerable to their attacks. Even the slightest retaliation can cause damage to them, but only after charging.

"Why did the enemy give up attacking the city?" Petlev heard the fear from Gila's mouth. With the strength of the enemy, there is no need to stop. Those shabby obstacles can't even stop ordinary predators, let alone others. Elite soldiers.

"Maybe it's because there are no siege equipment." Gila said that he didn't believe it himself. The enemy even knew the secret passage, so it was impossible not to know that the Slughof Fortress had two walls.

"Woooooooooo~"

Just when Petlev was about to criticize Gila, the low horn sounded again.

"Quick! Be alert!!" Gila subconsciously ordered loudly after hearing the sound. Every time the horn sounded, the enemy would switch tactics, making it hard to guard against.

Even if no one gave an order, the soldiers would get ready as quickly as possible. This time, the sound of the trumpet was continuous, low and depressing, and Petlev had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, the heavily armored soldiers who had exited the city once again walked in in neat steps. In addition, there was a man very familiar to Petlev, Ulfric the Wanderer!
"As long as they enter the range of the artillery, they can fire directly without order!! Long-range troops beware of the sky!!" Petlev then remembered that the manticores in the sky had disappeared.

"My lord! Look! They are... kneeling down like us??" Gila said incredulously.

After hearing this, Petlev quickly raised his eagle glasses to look, and saw that Ulfric actually led all the marauders to kneel on the ground, muttering words, and even bowed while talking.

Just when everyone was extremely confused, there were countless muffled thunder sounds outside the city, and the sky above the city was dyed red in a moment.

"Bombardment!!" After the sentinel gave a sharp warning, the whole fortress shook violently amidst the endless explosions.As soon as one round of artillery fell, the second round appeared in the sky immediately after.

The artillery shells mercilessly passed through the city wall and fell into the fortress. After the explosion, countless residents and soldiers left no bones. For a moment, the entire fortress was full of cries.

"Fight back! Fight back!!" Gila fell on the ground emotionally and yelled loudly, and the artillery on the city wall also responded, but the shells fired by the old artillery flew to the entrance of the street and fell unwillingly. Not to mention outside the city, even the looters kneeling at the gate of the city cannot be hurt.

"Why? Why? Why do they have imperial artillery?" Gila shouted with a majestic face, but when he saw Petlev, he immediately deflated the words behind,
Petlev seemed to have thought of something, and said with horror on his face, "No... this is not the artillery of the Empire, this is the hell cannon of Chaos...they are not attacking the city to capture the city... but to gather us together Together!"

Petlev's words exploded in Gila's ears like thunder, and all the doubts before this moment were solved.
