The next morning, as the faint dawn light just spread over the earth, a sudden noise broke out from the originally quiet and simple camp outside the Kanerba Castle, breaking the silence before dawn.

Teams of spirited and high-spirited Vlandian soldiers hurriedly ate a simple breakfast, holding various weapons and marching out of the camp in neat steps.

They moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they assembled into several closely arranged square formations in the open area outside the camp.

At the same time, carriages filled with wooden components were slowly pushed from the camp to the open space.

With Alder's order, dozens of experienced craftsmen from Rhine Town rushed forward.

They held various tools in their hands and skillfully spliced ​​and assembled these wooden components.

For a while, the sound of hammers, saws and the shouts of craftsmen were intertwined.

On the walls of Kanerba Castle, the soldiers guarding the city nervously watched everything happening below.

They watched catapults and ladders take shape one after another, and they were anxious for a while, but they had no way to stop them.

Not long after, with the efforts of the craftsmen, three catapults and two ladders stood in the open space outside the camp.

When the last screw was tightened and the last wooden board was fixed in place, the entire assembly work was declared successfully completed.

Alder, who was in charge of directing the project, nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered that 5 silver deer be issued as a reward to each craftsman involved in the assembly.

After receiving the reward, the craftsmen breathed a sigh of relief and showed joy on their faces, but before they had time to savor the harvest, they were quickly taken away from the scene by the Vlandia soldiers waiting on the side and retreated to the safe area behind.

At this moment, a passage suddenly opened up in the crowd.

Under the close protection of several robber leaders such as Nott, Hod walked out of the camp steadily.

His eyes were bright as he scanned the army and siege equipment that were ready in front of him, and his expression did not change.

However, even though Hod did not show any emotion, as he appeared, several phalanxes of Vlandia soldiers cheered in unison: "Your Majesty Hod!!!"

The sound was deafening and resounded throughout the battlefield.

Hearing the shouts, Hod showed a gratified smile on his face.

He raised his head slightly, feeling the soldiers' support and respect for him.

Then, he suddenly pulled out the gleaming sword at his waist, raised it high above his head, and roared.

"Long live the Holy Roman Empire!!!"

"Long live the Holy Roman Empire!!!"

Hearing Hod's roar, the soldiers beat their shields and waved their spears. Everyone's face flushed with excitement, and they shouted loudly in agreement.

"For the Empire!!!" Hod raised his arms and shouted again, his voice full of endless pride.

"For the Empire!!!" The soldiers responded in unison, and the roar gathered into a powerful torrent, unstoppable.

"Break the city!!!" Hod's shout resounded through the world, making people's blood boil.

"Break the city!!!" The soldiers were excited and their morale was boosted.

At this moment, a low horn sounded suddenly.

The long horn sound seemed to come from the ancient call. After hearing the horn, the soldiers became more and more excited. They took firm steps and began to slowly move towards Kanerba Castle.

"Prepare for throwing stones!!!" Monklon stood on a high place, and his strong arms waved vigorously, making a deafening shout.

Three catapults were neatly arranged in front of the formation, each of which was operated by thirty young Vlandia recruits.

After hearing the order, these recruits acted immediately without any hesitation.

They held the rope of the catapult tightly and began to stir it with all their strength.

At the same time, some other recruits quickly lifted the stones that had been prepared long ago and placed them on the catapult.

"Release!!!"

Just when the rope of the catapult was stirred to the limit, Monkron burst into a roar again.

In an instant, the huge stones were thrown out like arrows from a string.

These stones cut through the sky with amazing power and speed, accompanied by a sharp whistle, and smashed towards the distant Kanerba Castle.

"Crossbowmen, move forward quickly!!!"

Seeing the catapult successfully launch the first round of attack, Orville, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately issued an order.

Following the order, the Vlandia crossbowmen and the conscripted crossbowmen moved one by one.

Holding crossbows, they rushed forward without hesitation with their footsteps as fast as the wind.Everyone's face showed determination and courage.

"Sir Vito, the enemy has begun to attack!!!"

On the top of the city, panicked voices rang out one after another, and the loyal soldiers were anxious. They shouted loudly and reached out to try to pull Vito to a safe place.

However, at this time, Sir Vito was like an angry lion. He pushed hard and pushed away the soldiers who were close to him.

His eyes were round and his eyeballs were about to bulge out. His bloodshot eyes were full of anger.

"This damn pariah!!! I gave him the honorable title of knight!!! He dared to lead the army to attack me!!!" Vito roared with gritted teeth, and kept spitting out a series of vicious curses, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment in his heart through this roar.

At this moment, a violent whistling sound suddenly came from above.

The sound was like a strong wind passing through, and it was like a thunder explosion, which made people tremble with fear.

Several soldiers subconsciously raised their heads to look at the sky, and their faces turned pale. They saw three huge stones falling rapidly in their direction at an alarming speed.

"Throw stones!!! Run!!!"

One of the soldiers shouted in horror, "Take Lord Vito down!!!"

Hearing this shout, the other soldiers also woke up from their dreams. They rushed to Vito again without hesitation, grabbed his arms and shoulders, and tried their best to drag him away from the danger zone.

"Let me go!!! You bastards!!! I want to fight them to the death!!!" Vito twisted his body frantically, still cursing.

But no matter how he struggled, his strength seemed so insignificant in front of several professional soldiers who were trained and strong.

Finally, after a fierce tug, Vito was forcibly taken down the high city wall.

"Bang..."

There was a deafening sound, and the whole city wall trembled.

Almost at the moment when Vito was dragged down the city wall, a stone hit the top of the city wall fiercely.

In an instant, gravel and wood chips flew everywhere, and a large piece of the original wooden city wall of Kanerba Fort was instantly missing.

Several defenders who were closer suffered a devastating disaster. They had no time to react and were hit by the gravel flying like raindrops.

I saw several poor defenders fell headfirst into a pool of blood without even screaming.

"Crossbows!!! Hurry!!!"

At this time, a soldier who stayed on the top of the city wall and was in charge of commanding the battle looked pale. He watched the enemy's ladder truck approaching the city wall step by step, and he was extremely anxious.
