Warhammer Throne

On the tenth day of the siege, the undead finally launched a very fierce offensive. Under the leadership of several tomb evil spirits, several skeleton warrior groups and zombie groups launched an extremely violent attack against the walls of Montferre Castle. The offensive of the army was wave after wave, which brought great pressure to the defenders. Kuangsha Literature Network

At this time, the Duke of Vulcade personally led the Knights of Montfort to patrol the city wall. His shouts and admonitions full of fighting spirit and hope increased the courage of the defenders. After he went to the front for several **** battles, once The undead army that had barely boarded the tower was repelled by the defenders.

In particular, an expedition knight wearing a golden fire dragon cross helmet beside Vulkad was more brave than ordinary people. When a bloodthirsty ghost fell from the sky and attacked the garrison on the wall, the expedition knight shot this head. The bloodthirsty ghost beheaded.

Vulcade went to the front to inspire the morale of the entire castle. He drew his sword: "Shoot! Soldiers! Destroy the army of the undead! Victory belongs to Montfort, for the lady and the king, for Bretania!"

Dozens of artillery on the castle fired continuously, the sizzling sound of lit fuse and the irritating smell of black gunpowder sounded one after another. Amid the roar of ten thousand cannons, solid bullets fell on the undead army, making the entire undead army chaotic. In a mass, especially the tall tomb evil spirits fell one after another, which greatly reduced the pressure on the front line.

"For Montfort! Soldiers, counterattack! Where is my trebuchet?" Vulcade went to the front line to fight. The Duke himself was a powerful kingdom knight. He swung his sword and slashed a zombie who had just landed on the head of the city. In two paragraphs, filthy blood splashed all over his face, but the Duke himself ignored the request of his guard knight to retreat. The Duke of Montfort yelled: "That's a siege hammer! Destroy it! Destroy it! it!"

"Adjust the angle!" The army of the Principality of Montfort is not fighting alone. A large number of expatriates from the Empire are very willing to help them. Since the Principality of Montfort and the Empire trade all the year round, the relationship between the Principality and the Empire is excellent, except for the expense of importing from the Empire. In addition to a large number of obsolete old artillery pieces, the empires living here also took up weapons and joined the battle. Most of them only had a machete and a firecracker in their hands, and a few were armed with halberds, swords and shields, and long pipe fires. Gunpowder, they yelled to release their own power. Retired engineers and musketeers from the empire leaned with gunpowder and arrow rain together with the serf archers of Bretania. The Free Militia and the Serf Infantry Regiment once again. The ground knocked down the undead's tide-like offensive from the city.

Just above the city wall, dozens of giant trebuchets and artillery aimed at the giant siege hammer that was being carried by the undead. This siege hammer was very simple, but the siege hammer was engraved with many undead magic spells. , Under the power of Kemler, this siege hammer has been fully strengthened.

The eight-headed tomb evil spirit is pushing the siege hammer forward. The decayed metal blessed by the dark green undead magic on the tip of the hammer makes Vulcade terrified. He will never allow the siege hammer to rush to the castle gate: " Fire, soldiers, hit the legs of those tomb evil spirits!"

The soldiers on the city wall said loudly that the firepower of the defenders was fully taking care of the siege hammer, and even the serf archers on the side hurriedly ignited the arrows in the quiver.

The tomb evil spirits have thick skin, and they can't feel pain at all when faced with the attack of old-fashioned muskets and serfs' bows and arrows. Even if one or two of the tomb evil spirits fall, they will immediately make up for them.

At this time, a row of artillery on the city wall fired, and several cannons were filled. Except for one cannon that was completely misfired, the remaining cannons hammered out seven or eight projectiles toward the siege.

"Huh~" These black solid bullets went directly to the siege hammer, making a fine noise in the air. Kemmler, who was in the middle of the war supervising the army, twisted his eyes, and he chanted a mantra loudly: "The undead, everything Withering, the fate of all souls, when it should be my time!"

"Four rings of magic, the wall of bones!"

Before the siege hammer, a low wall made of countless dense white bones was erected. The solid bullet hit the low wall, punching several large holes in the low wall of white bones, and the magical bones were broken into countless pieces. Fragments.

The siege hammer was intact under the protection of Kemler. Kemler was about to signal the siege hammer to move forward, but two stones flying from above the castle entered his field of vision.

The counterweight wheel of the trebuchet turned, and the boulder that was thrown around the wall of bones slammed on the top of the siege hammer. The simple wooden structure was smashed to pieces by the boulder throwing. A tomb evil spirit was hit by a boulder on the spot and turned into a disgusting mass of mud.

"Huh! Good luck." Kemmler snorted coldly. He shook his head and turned away from the army. Mathieubad watched the whole process, but never said a word. When Kemmler left, he also turned away.

The high walls were full of voices of victory. Vulcade and his guard knights immediately mounted their horses and launched a charge on the walls. Relying on the textbook-like knights' attack, the defenders finally retreated and relied on simple wooden ladders. The skeleton warriors and zombies who climbed the tower, as the last skeleton warrior was defeated and thrown down the city wall, the Kofun Corps, which had lost the siege hammer, was forced to retreat.

Montferre Castle was defended again. After hundreds of casualties of serf infantry and a dozen knights were paid, the Kofun Corps slowly retreated.

"Thank you, Karad, if it weren't for your help, the gate of the castle might be lost." Looking at the undead army that was retreating, the Duke of Vulcade said to an expeditionary knight standing beside him: "You can To help Montferre in time, on behalf of the entire Principality, I am forever grateful for your kindness."

"It is a duty to fight evil." The expedition knight Kalad has been on the path of the Holy Grail for more than a year. This powerful expedition knight rides his elf horse, starting from Brittany, the most important of the expedition knight Contributions include:

Battle the four-armed bull demon and the cyclops in the Rick leader, slash a goblin shaman in the Wesson leader, and behead a two-footed wyvern in the leader of Wesson. The warlord, single-handedly killed a necromancer in Steyr, and killed a bile troll and a Nurgle champion in Ostermark.

After that, Karad went north to Kislov. He and Kislov’s bear cavalry army fought against the chaos raiders in the north. He singled out five barbarian tribe chiefs and lifted the alarm of barbarian looting. Immediately after he went west to Oster and Nord, and slaughtered two tribes of Beastman, Calade, who was summoned by François, returned to Brittany, ready to participate in Ryan and François’ battle against Blackstone. Of war.

Along the way, Kalad has gained many achievements and honors.

On the way, he was entrusted by the fairy in the lake. The goddess told him that the Kofun Legion had surrounded the Montfern Castle. Karade went on horseback and immediately rushed to support the Duke of Vulcade.

"The siege has been going on for ten days, and we still haven't heard any news of reinforcements." The Duke of Vulcade is a middle-aged man in his fifties, and of course he is also a knight of the kingdom of legendary strength. Seeing the undead retreat, the Duke himself Standing at the top of the city, he looked at a gap in the city wall.

That was the gap created by Kemler's spell. There, the surface of the city wall was collapsed by undead magic, and the original white wall turned black and bubbling.

The Duke of Vulkad did not choose to let the Holy Women's Order send the Lake Goddess and the Lake God Prophet to help him. He chose to hire the wizards of the Imperial Royal Wizarding Academy. This light wizard brought his apprentices to the wall. Singing spells and repairing the city wall, the bright wind Hexi blows away the undead magic and rolls up the gravel. The artisans of Montfort immediately went forward to repair the gap in the city wall.

"Reinforcements will come." Karad walked on Vulkad's side, and he whispered: "Please understand, my duke, last year's Chaos invasion caused severe consumption of the troops of the northern principalities. It’s not that easy to be an army. You know, His Excellency Hagen, Duke of Gisoleaux, lives in Curona all year round, and it takes a lot of time for him to rush back to his territory and gather an army."

"I know, northerners can't count on it, but what about arrogant southerners? What about Berhemond and his Brotherhood of Red Dragon? What about Francois and his Brotherhood of Champion Knights of Quinalis? How do I look at it? To you alone? And the lady's champion of choice? Ryan Makado? I have asked them for help, but they have not come yet, and the castle will fall." Vulcade, Duke of Montfort, was a little grumpy at first. He said, but he soon sighed in a low voice: "The food ration has been halved, my friend Karad, but even so, the rations of tens of thousands of people still make this castle unsupportable, plus my private storage room, The food reserves can last for another 20 days to a month or so at most. This is the most optimistic estimate! I can wait, but my leaders can't wait."

The Principality of Montfort has basically relied on grazing to harvest food. This Principality imports a large amount of food from the Empire and other principalities in Brittania to maintain its supply. However, the axe-bite pass has been destroyed recently, and the commercial road cannot be restored for the time being. The castle’s stock of food Not many, now it is even worse after the influx of tens of thousands of refugees.

After patrolling the defenses of the castle a little bit, the Duke of Vulcade and Calade stood on the observation deck overlooking the Duchy of Montfort and the peaks of the Gray Mountains. Unexpectedly, the defenders and refugees always maintained a strong fighting spirit and their morale. High, many people in Montfort believed that the fairy in the lake was watching the battle, and in order to defend their homeland, the refugees took up arms and vowed to fight to the end with the undead.

The people of Montfort are always so special. Looking at the determined Duke of Vulcade, the expedition knight Kalad thought like this.

Basically all the land in the Principality of Montfort is within the gray mountains, so the people here are almost all skilled climbers. After experiencing the threat of green-skin attacks on the territory and the harsh environment for many years, the personality of the Montfort people has gradually become Stubborn and tough, they welcome all fellow humans and outsiders, but are very hostile to all non-human races, including elves, half-humans and dwarves, which is also reflected in the Duke of Vulkad himself.

The Duke of Vulcade is a staunch human supremacist. He insists that only humans are the race destined to rule the peoples. Therefore, he is very hostile to dwarves and half-humans, as well as elves. He has ordered the expulsion of dwarves more than once. Going out and burning the elves as chaotic mutants, of course, Ryan's acceptance of a large number of dwarves and elves caused serious dissatisfaction with Vulkad. He has repeatedly advised King Richard to punish Ryan on the grounds that Ryan was chosen as a lady. The champion must be "pure".

Purity in various senses. Generally speaking, Duke Vulkad does not hate Ryan, but hates his approach. He hates his dealings with dwarves and elves, as the champion of the lake fairies. The ears are hooked up with the dwarf scorpion, what style is this?

On the other hand, the Duke of Vulkad is a very friendly person to the people. He established the almshouse system, reduced taxes for the hardworking serfs, and cooperated with the Goddess of Mercy to provide regular free medical care. He welcomes all fellow human beings. Coming to settle here, he not only tolerated the Church of Justice who preached and established the largest justice church in Bretania, but also often led the army to protect the safety of the leaders. Therefore, in the defense of the city, all the leaders are willing Fight for him, including the diaspora of the empire.

Sometimes people are so complicated.

At this time, the Duke’s butler arrived. The butler with a beret on his head whispered: "My Duke, the refugees have changed."

"What's the change?" As the sky dimmed, Duke Vulcade turned abruptly, and Karad was shocked after hearing this.

The lower-level area of ​​Montferre Castle is now full of people. A large number of refugees gather together to snuggle up. Human body odor and **** odor spread in the lower-level area and residential areas, relying solely on the suppression of many military forces to barely maintain it. Order, if there is a riot at this time, the defense of the castle is ruined.

"There has been a rumor among the refugees, which makes their morale high." The butler took a sip of water, and then said: "Rumors are made among the refugees that Lord Ryan Macadoo, the lady's champion of choice, and His Excellency Francois, Duke of Winford are in the air. Gathering an unprecedented large army, this support army will solve all the undead once and for all. This rumor spreads from the lower level to the upper level, my duke, even many knights now believe it."

There are about two thousand three hundred registered knights in the entire Principality of Montfort, of which about fifteen hundred are in the castle.

The Duke of Vulcade first wanted to loudly denounce the inexplicability of this kind of rumors, but the Duke himself immediately realized that he and his people needed this kind of rumors, even if it might be a lie, the Duke still wanted to use it.

So Vulkad nodded: "I see, leave it alone, so be it."

"Yes." The butler withdrew.

The Duke himself was still worried. He hesitated and asked hesitantly. It seemed like a drowning man was grabbing the last straw: "Will Lord Ryan come to support?"

"Definitely." Kalad's eyes were full of confidence: "He has saved the kingdom from distress several times."

"Oh~ I hope so." Vulcade smiled suddenly, and he barely managed to squeeze a smile: "Fortunately, I chose me to attend his wedding and have a toast with him. It shouldn't offend him too much."

"Your Excellency Ryan is not that kind of person." Karad shook his head, he couldn't say much about this.

"Go and rest, this is just a tentative offense, the undead's offensive will be more violent!"

"Um."

…………

Early in the morning, the Earl of Glamorgan, Jean Town.

Ryan and Belega stood on a high platform together, looking at the gray sky.

The army has been assembled.

Undead, Kemler, Mathewbad, Moussilon, Montfort, Ryan turned his thoughts again, he turned, Bellegar nodded at him and motioned for him to order.

"The whole army set off!"
