Just when everyone's attention was attracted by the heavy armored cavalry, in the forests on both sides of the canyon, bandits holding bows and arrows and wearing various types of broken light armor quietly appeared. They walked out of the forest carefully, as if they were integrated with the surrounding environment.
These bandits slowly walked to the edge of the canyon, with light movements and cautious expressions.
They held short bows and stared at the town guards and heavy armored cavalry below.
When they saw the guards' crossbowmen release crossbows, they immediately pulled the bows to full strings and aimed the arrows downwards.
Among them, a bandit leader wearing a chain mail shirt was particularly eye-catching. He slowly raised his right hand, and his sharp eyes were fixed on the guards below.
His eyes revealed coldness and strong self-confidence, as if he was full of confidence in this battle.
However, when he saw two heavy armored cavalrymen fall off their horses, a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the bandit leader, but it was quickly suppressed.
Thinking of the previous arrangements made by the leader, the bandit leader knew that now was not the best time to launch an attack. Although he was angry, he still resisted the urge and did not swing his right arm easily.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the canyon became more and more tense.
Finally, when the remaining four heavy armored cavalrymen were only thirty steps away from the town guards, the bandit leader finally showed a grim smile on his face. He suddenly swung his right arm and issued an order to attack.
In an instant, the bandits on both sides of the forest loosened their bowstrings, and sharp arrows flew towards the line of town guards below like lightning.
"Swoosh..."
"Swoosh..."
The piercing sound of breaking through the air cut through the sky, like the horn of death, which made people shudder.
The moment Barnett heard the voice, he immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart. He looked up suddenly, and when he saw the arrows flying like raindrops, his face turned pale as snow.
"Guard against arrows!"
His shrill scream echoed in the air, but it was too late.
The town guards, who had focused all their attention on the heavy armored cavalry rushing in front of them, did not expect to be attacked suddenly from above the canyon.
"Ah..."
"Puff..."
"Save me..."
Dozens of arrows arrived in an instant, penetrating the defense line of the town guards with amazing speed and power. The cotton armor worn by the guards seemed to have no effect, and they were killed and injured in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, screams and cries of pain rang out, and blood splattered, staining the ground red.
The tight front line was in chaos in an instant. When the leader of the heavy cavalry saw this scene, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he immediately shouted: "Kill all these town masters!"
He knocked his legs hard and continued to increase the speed of the horse. The other three heavy cavalry behind him were also very excited, and their bloodthirsty eyes could not help but show from under their visors.
Such a good opportunity, the leader would naturally not let it go. He plunged into the chaotic crowd, and the long-handled double-edged spear in his hand directly pierced the chests of two guards.
The heavy cavalry who was originally rushing towards Hod also immediately turned his horse's head and led the warhorse to rush towards the crowd.
Knight Barnett's face was pale at this moment. He watched the leader's heavy cavalry break through the guards' front line. He watched this kind of heavy cavalry continue to rush forward without slowing down.
He looked in the direction of the heavy cavalry's charge, and when he saw the guards and crossbowmen who were still stunned in place, his body suddenly shuddered.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
But the guards and crossbowmen were too close to the front line. The heavy cavalryman who led the group reached the front of the crossbowmen almost instantly after breaking through the front line.
With a sweep of the long-pole double-edged spear, three guards and crossbowmen fell to their knees with their necks covered...
Hod stared at the scene blankly, and for a moment he did not react.
"Boss, let's run..."
Seeing the heavy cavalrymen slaughtering the town guards, Nott and the other two hurried to Hod's side and shouted.
Hod turned his head blankly, looked at Nott, whose mouth was opening and closing, and hit his head hard, and then he came to his senses.
"Go, go!"
He turned around and walked away immediately, but after taking two steps, Hod stopped.
Go? Where to go? Where to go?
There are bandit heavy cavalrymen at the mouth of the canyon, and bandit archers in the mountains and forests on both sides. Where can he go now?
Hod suddenly turned around and looked towards the wooden fort, with a ferocious look on his face.
Damn, this is the only way!
"Nott, kill back to the wooden fort!"
Hod took a deep breath, pointed the dagger in his hand at the wooden fort behind, and said with gritted teeth.
Since the bandits ambushed the guards, I will seize their lair.
Nott and the other two were startled, and then reacted, ferocious"Boss, we listen to you."
"Go! Fight back!"
Hod ran wildly with his dagger in his hand. The gate of the wooden fort was wide open. At this time, he also figured out who the robbers on the wall were.
They were all disguised people captured by the robbers. Although he didn't know what method the robbers used to force them to fight on the wall, Hod knew that the combat effectiveness of this group of people would definitely not be too high.
What combat effectiveness can a group of civilians have!
The cold light in Hod's eyes became stronger and stronger. For his own safety, he must take control of this wooden fort.
If those mercenaries cooperated, it would be fine. If not, then he would risk exposing the system and recruiting 20 more robbers to fight with them.
However, Hod felt that the probability should not be high. Those mercenaries were not stupid people. They also saw the situation clearly. If they wanted to survive, they could only control this wooden fort with him.
Then, they jointly resisted the attack of the robbers.
The four of them ran wildly. While the bandits were focusing on the guards, Hod led Nott and the other two to the gate of the wooden fort.
The screams behind him kept coming, but he seemed to hear nothing. He just gritted his teeth and ran wildly towards the wooden fort with all his strength.
The killing of the heavy cavalry continued. They ruthlessly harvested the lives of the guards like steel beasts. The guards had been scared to death and dared not resist at all. They could only flee everywhere, trying to find a glimmer of life.
At this time, Knight Barnett's eyes were empty and his legs softened. He knelt on the ground powerlessly. He looked at everything in front of him in despair. He knew in his heart that everything was over and all his efforts were in vain.
"Lord Barnett!"
The screams of the attendants beside him pulled him back to reality from his trance. He raised his head and looked at the anxious attendants with a trace of confusion and helplessness in his eyes.
The attendant shook his shoulders vigorously and shouted: "Lord Barnett, we must find a way to stop them! Otherwise, everyone will die here!"
Barnett woke up as if from a dream. He took a deep breath and slowly stood up. Although his body was still shaking, his eyes gradually regained some determination. As a knight, he couldn't give up so easily.
"Everyone, come closer to me!"
Knight Barnett raised his sword to guide the panicked guards.
