Come to another world and become a lord

Chapter 19 The final attack

When the horn of war was blown again and the rumbling drums resounded through the sky, Carl was still sleeping peacefully on the huge palace bed that once belonged to King Philip. The soft mattress and warm quilt made him sleep so comfortably since he came into this world. He was so irritable after being woken up, but he soon realized the seriousness of the problem, quickly put on his clothes and ran straight to the city wall.

"What on earth are they trying to do? They've been busy all night, don't they need to catch up on some sleep?" Looking at the huge crowds of people coming and going outside the city, Carl couldn't help feeling depressed.

Arya was as calm as ever, watching the enemy's lines of troops moving toward the city wall, then she sighed and said:

"It looks like they are preparing for a final fight."

With the roar, people swarmed up. This time there were no ladders or catapults. They directly set up ladders or used hooks to climb. This also meant that the attack would become extremely bloody and tragic. Both the climbers and the people waiting below were completely exposed to the archers' range, without any protection or cover. For a time, arrows rained down, accompanied by shrill screams and wails, and the barbarian soldiers fell one after another, piling up a mountain of corpses at the corner of the city wall. In Carl's opinion, such an attack was simply crazy. These people just kept going forward and dying. Occasionally, someone jumped onto the top of the wall, but they were greeted by countless spears stabbing, and then they were stabbed into a honeycomb shape, and the bodies fell down again. Alia's Fire Rose Guard came, and the knights led by Henry also came. They were well-equipped and heavily armored. They set up spears and shields on the top of the city, forming an unbreakable steel defense line.

"It seems like they want to use their absolute numerical advantage to wear us out." Alia said thoughtfully as she looked at the barbarian soldiers who were constantly being pushed off the city wall and continuing to advance.

"Is it worth it?" Carl asked softly as he looked at the tragic scene. He also didn't think that the other side could really take down the city with this kind of fighting style. Although there was a big difference in the number of people on both sides, the range of the inner city wall was not large, and there were limited places to climb. The Great Khan's army had tens of thousands of people, but most of them could only wait below. On the other hand, after Carl received the reinforcement of Henry's 50 cavalry, the troops defending the city wall were now enough to be organized into three teams, and they took turns to defend. This allowed everyone to have enough rest time. As long as the casualties were not too heavy, they could even keep fighting like this. The scene in front of him even made Carl temporarily lose the sense of danger. He even felt that he could go back to the dormitory to take another nap. Anyway, there was not much point in staying here. It was enough to leave the fighting to Alia.

Just when he thought there was nothing wrong, a scream from the east side of the city wall hit him hard. The sound did not come from the barbarians attacking the city, but from a knight brought by Henry. When Carl stood on the high battlement and saw it, he saw that the knight had been pierced through by a spear, with the tip of the dark blue hair piercing from his back. A layer of frost started from the wound and quickly spread to the knight's body, freezing him into an ice sculpture in just a few seconds. Then, with the shaking of the spear, the ice sculpture shattered and scattered all over the ground. Such a familiar scene, such a familiar way of fighting, needless to say, Carl knew who it was. The petite white figure of the Snow Princess Noura had already jumped onto the city wall at this time, and killed a fully armed heavy armored knight with just one blow. Not only killed him, but also made the other party die without a complete body. With such powerful martial arts, coupled with such a terrifying weapon, this guy is simply a devil. Carl saw two knights trying to stab her with their spears, but she dodged them easily. Then she quickly stabbed them with two spears. The coldness from the spear tips quickly froze the blood in their veins into ice. The two knights turned pale and died instantly.

The remaining people were also shocked by this terrifying force and began to retreat unconsciously, leaving a gap between the girl and the knight. The barbarian soldiers also seized this opportunity and climbed up the city wall, and under the leadership of the girl, they rushed towards the timid knights. A gap was opened in the northeastern defense line.

Carl, standing on the battlement, looked indignant:

"This is cheating! How can there be such a weapon?"

Yes, in his opinion, Nura's existence is like those cheating players in online games. Everyone is fighting with cold weapons within the range of human physical strength, but you are using supernatural magic. If this is not cheating, what is?

Alia sighed helplessly, then tightened the halberd in her hand.

"This can't go on any longer. I'll go meet her," she said.

"But you can't do anything about that weapon..."

"I'm the only one who can fight her here." Alia replied, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. Then she whispered to herself in a voice that couldn't be any softer, "If I had a weapon of the same level, why would I be afraid of her?"

"No, I'll go." Carl said suddenly.

"What?" Alia looked at him in disbelief.

"I will take care of Noura," he continued.

"What a joke! You can't even beat her!" Alia shouted excitedly.

However, Carl just smiled:

"I didn't say I wanted to fight her. As long as we can lure her away and stop her from participating in the siege, the others will no longer pose a threat."

"Well, that's the case..." Alia replied, "But this is too dangerous!"

"Believe me~" He put his hand on the girl's shoulder and patted her gently. He saw Alia's face showing a worried look, but she finally nodded in trust, which made him a little relieved. In fact, he knew very well that he was not important. In this fantasy world with supernatural powers, he had neither super skills like Noura and Alia, nor extraordinary wisdom. He was just an ordinary person from the beginning, an ordinary office worker who accidentally traveled to a world with all kinds of monsters and demons, but he had no golden fingers and became a serf. If it weren't for the sudden invasion of the barbarians, and his surname happened to be a bit similar to that of the royal family, he would probably have lived his life in silence, and he didn't know whether it was luck or bad luck. So he was not important, and even if he died, it would not have much impact on the overall situation. Such a person is most suitable as bait. Of course, he didn't really intend to die, but just made the most reasonable judgment from the overall perspective. While thinking, he had come to the bottom of the city wall and could clearly see Noura's position. The white figure was flying like snowflakes, beautiful and deadly. He took a deep breath and then shouted in that direction at the top of his lungs:

"Nura! Do you remember me?"

On the wall, the girl heard his shout. She stopped and looked down, then anger appeared on her face:

"Karl Flandal!"

"Yes, that's my name. I was the one who attacked your father's tent and made him flee. I was also the one who burned your food supplies. Even you were fooled by me. If you have the guts, come and kill me!" Carl sneered, "Ah~ Of course you can't, you can't come over at all. I'm standing here, but you can't touch me at all~"

But Noura just narrowed her eyes, stared at him, and then said:

"Okay, I'll kill you right now~"

Perhaps because he was too angry, his tone was unusually calm.

The scene that followed almost made Carl's eyes widen. After knocking away several knights, Noura jumped down the nearly 15-meter-high wall with her flesh body. After rolling on the spot, she rushed towards him with a spear raised high, scaring him to run away. He knew that Noura would come to him. With her personality, she would explode when provoked, but he did not expect her to come in this way. That was a 15-meter-high wall. Is this really something that humans can do? What kind of monster is he facing? But in any case, his goal has been achieved. This can't help but remind him of the days when he and his friends went to the dungeon in the game before he crossed over. They had encountered a dungeon with two BOSSes at the same time. If one of them had a particularly high attack power, their method at that time would allow him to lead this BOSS away, and the others would work together to kill the other one first. In Carl's view, Noura is now the BOSS that was led away at the beginning. And he became the one who led the BOSS away~

There was only one question: could he really do it? Could he really outrun the other person? At this point, they had already rushed into the city from the city wall, and then went back to the other side of the city wall, passing through the crowd. Shen Zhi knocked down several civilians who didn't know the truth. The girl was chasing after him like a ghost, getting closer and closer, and he really couldn't run anymore.

"Wait, wait, stop, stop for a moment~" After running into a corner, Carl suddenly stopped. He really couldn't stand the heart beating to the limit and the lungs that were constantly aching, so he waved at Nura.

But Nura seemed not to expect him to stop, and for a moment she did not attack immediately.

This gave Carl an opportunity, and he quickly said:

"Listen to me, just listen to me..."

"Why, you still want to quibble when you are about to die?"

"I mean, we're just defending our territory, but you keep invading the south, but is that necessary?" Carl said.

"This is the way to survive. We can only blame this unfair reality." Noura replied coldly.

"There are many ways to survive. Can't we find a way to coexist and win together?" Lal said again.

"for example?"

"Open market, mutual benefit and win-win, form a virtuous circle. If you have any needs, we can sit down and talk."

Hearing Karl's words, Noura just smiled contemptuously:

"Humph, keep lying, you can keep lying and see if I will believe you!"

"I'm not lying. I'm serious. Instead of fighting like this and not getting any benefit, why don't we think of a win-win solution? As long as we have this intention, we can always find a way to coexist."

As they were speaking, a victory horn suddenly sounded from the distant city wall, followed by people's cheers. Karl and Nura turned their heads at the same time, and expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.

"So fast?" Carl was delighted and surprised, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"How is this possible?" Nura was so surprised that her hands shaking as she held the spear.

"You lose. You can't take Rickburg. Fighting is just a meaningless sacrifice."

"But at least I can kill you?" As he spoke, Nura's spear was already against Carl's throat. The icy cold instantly froze his neck, but Carl remained calm.

"Even if you kill me, you won't be able to capture Reikberg. I have been the king's scapegoat from the beginning to the end. If I die, he will only appoint a new Baron of Reikberg, a true nobleman who is stronger and more important than me."

Nura's hand holding the spear was shaking constantly. She stared at Carl, the hatred on her face did not disappear, but she did not take any action.

But Karl saw a chance to survive at this moment, and he quickly continued:

"Listen, I still say the same thing, maybe we should talk and find a way to coexist, as long as you are willing."

Noura still didn't say anything, just watched, neither speaking nor killing him, until Alia's shouting came from afar, and then countless guards and knights rushed over and surrounded the two of them. Listening to the shouting of the people around him and Alia's threats, Noura just sighed slowly and finally put down the weapon in his hand.

"You're right. There's no point in killing you." Then she turned the gun around and rushed towards the guards who surrounded her.

An astonishing scene happened in front of Carl again. The girl broke through almost instantly, and no one could stop her. Then she used the grappling hook to jump back onto the wall, killing several guards on the wall again. Finally, she jumped down and disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving Carl standing there blankly with his mouth wide open. After standing there for a few seconds, he finally couldn't help but shouting:

"If this isn't cheating, what is it? Can someone like her still be considered a human being? She's just a cheater!"

"What is a cheat?" Alia asked curiously.

"Nothing, it just means it's outrageous," Carl replied.

In the Great Khan's tent, Nura rushed into the camp covered in dust and shouted loudly:

"Dad, why did you give up the attack halfway? We clearly had a chance."

The Great Khan Atikila had a sad face and remained silent. However, Kachar said:

"It's not that the Great Khan is unwilling to attack, but the Chaga Tribe and the Red Blood Tribe are unwilling to fight anymore. They have led a group of tribes to disobey orders. They believe that the Great Khan is deliberately sending their tribesmen to die. Now almost no one is willing to fight anymore."

After hearing what Kachar said, the girl became furious:

"How could this happen? Don't they know the current situation? They are still so disunited at this time!"

But Atikila just patted his daughter's shoulder and said slowly:

"It's over. At this point, we can only withdraw our troops."

"But, if that's the case..."

Noura wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by her father again:

"I'll figure out what to do next, so you should get ready. Let's go home~"

After the Great Khan finished speaking, he turned and left the tent. Nura looked at her father's departing back. For some reason, she suddenly remembered Karl's words:

“As long as there is a will, we can always find a way to coexist.”

"A way to coexist?" she repeated silently. "Humph, how is this possible..."

Then he left the barracks with his father.
