Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Chapter 400 Sweeping the surrounding area

Compared with the elite knights and city defense forces of the Ralph family in Fengyuan City, the vassals scattered in the fiefdom towns around the city are vulnerable.

Most of the noble little landlords could not even have an effective resistance. They quickly defeated in frontal fire with just one round of volleys. The soldiers in the North Army who were responsible for leaving the city to clear out did not even have to replace the magazines in a battle. , it is as easy as practicing target shooting in a pioneering military camp.

The Northern Army, who set out to fight, quickly cleared the small nobles' garrisons around Fengyuan City in the form of a small team, and was almost not hindered by much until they retreated to the Hunting Mountain Fort in Fengyuan Ridge, Duke Ralph's location. The momentum of sweeping finally slowed down.

The soldiers who only carried magic rifles and machine guns encountered unexpected troubles.

"Isn't this really a turtle shell made of stone?" Team leader Newman looked at the solid stone fortress with a cliff in front of him, and spitted in anger, "They actually dug a moat by hand!"

Captain Chiron was the first pioneering veteran to join the army. He was much more experienced than all the lower-level officers present. At this moment, he was cold and did not say a word. He couldn't think of a good way to chew off the stone turtle shell immediately.

"When I just approached the fortress to attack tentatively, the opponent used a large number of crossbows to shoot at us... Many soldiers were injured by arrows."

This expedition did not carry alchemy vehicles for the soldiers to ride. Most of the teams responsible for cleaning operations relied on carriages confiscated in the city for transportation, and the mobile military medical team lingering nearby also took most of the journey to get there.

Chiron rationally believed that he could no longer try to attack head-on, otherwise once the soldier was seriously injured, he might die because he had no time to receive treatment.

"Boss, this stone fort is separated by a moat, and the gate is filled with rolling stones and logs. The young men from the sniper team killed several enemies on the wall, and the other party did not dare to expose their bodies anymore. Can be so tired of us."

If the time limit issue is not considered at all, the Northern Army can of course set up camps on the spot to surround them. When the enemy's food and bow and arrow ammunition that are fighting in the stone fort are exhausted, they will naturally be defeated without any attack. But the key to the problem is The commander only gave them three days and had no time to spend with these turtles.

"I can only ask for help from the artillery battalion..." Newman murmured and suggested, "Just need a few shellings to the gate, and it will be scared and surrendered on the spot without any effort."

Chiron's face froze, and then he remembered that when he went out of the city to clear out, he and several squad leader mocked the guys in the artillery battalion in person for being "short legs", disliked them for pushing the heavy cannons and unable to keep up with the footsteps of the infantry... Now Isn’t it that you slapped yourself in the face when asking them for help?

Thinking of this, he spitted in anger and scolded, "Damn it, which Ralph family's dog thing was built by this mountain castle!"

The intelligence officers of the army came over and replied, "Baron Frost Eagle... Duke Ralph's nephew is also the chief of the Fengyuan Knights. He is considered the Duke's direct descendant, but he was seriously injured when he went out to fight a few years ago. He could no longer serve the Duke, and was abandoned as a waste and sent to the hunting mountain fort on the edge of the fief to garrison."

The secret police trained by Harvey are still active in Fengyuan City, and they can only hear about the situation around the Duke's fiefdom - no one expected that Baron Frost Eagle would actually bring this unpopular hunting mountain The fort was built as strong as a war fortress. It not only took advantage of the terrain advantages built on the mountain, but also attracted streams from the mountains to pour into artificially dug canals of more than five meters wide, forming a semi-surround "small moat". ”.

There is only one entrance and exit of the entire mountain fort. If you want to attack the inside of the fortress, you must cross the moat and put down the suspension bridge. However, even the gate of the suspension bridge is filled with rolling stones and giant trees. It is obvious that you are determined to defend the enemy. It looks like it doesn't decline.

According to the information found by the secret police, Duke Ralph fled to the capital this time and did not take away a knight from the Frost Eagle family. This also means that the enemy in the fort has sufficient troops and is indeed not allowed without siege weapons. Easy to deal with.

"Notify the artillery battalion and send an artillery team to support it." Captain Chiron sighed and ordered the message to the sender with his fate, "It will take half a day to wait until they arrive. Let's go here first today and arrange for the soldiers to start the original plan. Let's camp."

...

As soon as the sun set to the top of the mountain, a bright bonfire lit outside the camp tent of the Northern Army. People in the fort could see even from a distance. The soldiers carrying strange spears were patrolling around the camp. There is no intention of slacking off at all.

A fully armored knight walked down from the battlement of the city wall with heavy steps and hurried into the dark and cramped chamber of the fort. "Hisser Baron, it seems that the enemy is planning to siege the city and want to trap us alive..."

The frost eagle baron with messy hair and gray hair sat on the chair and frowned and said, "Where is the spy sent out? The city of Fengyuan has been really broken? My uncle... Duke, he has already left his fiefdom and ran to the king. All went?”

The young knight sneered in disgust, "The Duke had long been scared by the terrifying assassination method, and he ignored his territory and family, and was just thinking about how to save his life."

He paused and whispered: "Father, since you objected to the Duke's massive recruitment of civilians during the spring plowing season, the major families in Fengyuan City have become increasingly irrestrained and troubled us, and now we are even more... There is no need to be loyal to him anymore, Ralph is not worth it..."

Before the young knight could finish his words, the Frost Eagle Baron slapped heavily on the armrest of the chair and scolded, "How could this be the case for defiling the glory of the knight and breaking the oaths from my own son? Let me hear it again In a word, you must throw your sword and armor into the ditch with your own hands!”

The Baron's personal guard captain came over and said, "The spy sent out yesterday has returned, saying that he saw with his own eyes that the enemy has a rumbling magic weapon that can directly attack the city of Fengyuan at a distance of hundreds of meters. The defender, that thing seemed to be an alchemy magic weapon made of dragon flame powder, which blew up the entire outer city gate."

"The mage lord of Grizzly Castle...of course, they have the same magical creation as the Union. They have long conspired to rebel against His Majesty the Grand Duke. The raid on Toyohara City is probably just to cooperate with Daes's spellcasters."

The young knight was stunned for a moment, and Na Na explained, "Father, it was obviously Duke Ralph who sent troops around Grizzly Castle... harassing the people and plundering villages and towns... Shuanghua County is said to be the most severely ravaged by the Duke's army, and refugees They all rushed to the Grizzly Castle in groups..."

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Baron Frost Eagle opened his mouth, blocked his words by this indisputable fact, and could only turn his head aside and ignore it with embarrassment.

The captain of the guard changed the topic at the right time: "I'll check the weapons and food reserves in the basement, since the other party wants to be in a stalemate with us..."

Before he could finish his words, a sudden burst of explosion came from outside, and the rumbling thunder seemed to roll across the sky, and even the top of the conference hall where the stone rested was shaken and countless dust fell from the rustling.

The three of them stumbled out of the hall and suddenly found that the originally thick mountain fort gate had been completely broken and opened. Several soldiers guarding the gate lay on the ground in a bloody manner, and had already died on the spot.

The Frost Eagle Baron felt desperate in his heart... The enemy used that terrible alchemy weapon to deal with us!
