Chapter 130 Breakthrough
"boom--"
With a deafening sound, the west gate of North Wind Castle burst open.
Some rusty iron mechanisms rotated and moved, making a harsh friction sound. The huge suspension bridge slowly fell down, crossing the wide moat and directly connecting to the other side.
"Who is the traitor!"
"Damn it, someone opened the city gate!"
"Quick! Pull up the drawbridge!"
"Oh no, they're coming in!"
"All ready to fight!"
The city was in chaos and commotion, with shouting, cursing, and no one could tell whether the person in front of them was a colleague or an enemy.
The dragon vein followers who had been waiting outside the city for a long time could not wait to rush onto the suspension bridge and poured into the North Wind Castle like a surging and unstoppable torrent.
Charging forward in the front were the tall and strong ogre warriors with sticks and shields, followed by the hobgoblins with guns and the lizardmen tribal warriors.
"For the Burning Nest!"
"Capture Northwind Keep!"
Although the Rackman family's control over the city's defense forces is very strong, almost reaching the pinnacle of what a feudal lord can do, the army in the city is not completely united.
After the Red Dragon came and threatened, even the most loyal "Eagle Shield" would inevitably waver in his heart. Perhaps one or two of the ten city defense soldiers had already made up their minds to rebel, which was enough to shake the foundation of North Wind Castle.
What happens next is very simple.
Those soldiers who were determined to rebel secretly contacted the player spies lurking in the city, gathered their strength, launched a mutiny, killed the commander of the city guards at the west gate of North Wind Fort when he was off guard, and opened the gate of North Wind Fort that had not been breached for hundreds of years.
The leader of the city defense army that launched the rebellion was called John. His wife died at the hands of the so-called "devil", so he was once the most loyal soldier to the Duke. When he inserted the sword into the commander's chest, the commander's expression was astonished. The commander really didn't expect that John, who was nicknamed "loyal dog", would actually rebel.
As agreed, these rebellious soldiers tied red bands on their right arms and attacked their former colleagues.
"Kill these vampire lackeys!"
“For my family!”
"To survive!"
John raised his standard-issue sword and shouted loudly.
In this way, several forces including the followers of the Burning Nest, the rebellious soldiers, and the loyal city guards started a chaotic fight in the city.
As the city where the Rackman family has the deepest roots, North Wind Castle will naturally not surrender without any resistance like Tro City.
Interests are always the strongest bond.
Many elite forces of North Wind Castle have long been tied to the chariot of the Rackman family and have no choice.
They knew that once the Duke fell, their own fate would not be much better, and would even be more miserable than death. Therefore, they were determined to fight to the death and blocked the followers of the Burning Embers Nest in the narrow passage at the city gate.
"Humans, suffer death!"
The ogre swung his barbed mace and smashed the soldier in front of him into a pulp.
He held a huge leather shield and charged forward like a heavy chariot, bearing the arrows of the city guards.
However, a piece of cold debris accurately hit its thick arm holding the mace, and the fragment exploded, releasing a biting chill, causing the ogre's movements to gradually slow down.
That is Ice Blade Technique.
Spellcasters loyal to the Rackman family also joined the battle.
"charge!"
"Kill that monster and avenge our colleagues!"
The coalition soldiers wanted to kill the ogre and were about to rush forward.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Bullets from the Hobgoblin skirmishers whistled, and several soldiers fell one after another. Shortly after the Battle of Trier, players at the Storm Armory developed rifles with higher accuracy, and skirmisher tactics that were more flexible and free, mainly based on small-scale combat, also came into being.
"For the Embers Nest! For endless food!"
"charge!"
The ogres continued to charge with their huge shields raised, advancing like a moving thick wall.
Ice spikes, fire, acid, radiance
The spellcasters poured spells on their followers like a rainstorm. Several ogres fell one after another, dying in different ways, but they still showed no fear.
These ogres' simple brains have little room for anything other than fighting and eating, and death is commonplace to them - literally, as hungry ogres in the wilderness often hold casual funeral dinners and bury their fellow ogres in their bellies.
But the Burning Nest is not completely defenseless.
In addition to the hobgoblins constantly shooting with muskets and hunting the soldiers, players also joined the battlefield.
For a moment, dazzling magical light also appeared on the side of the Burning Embers, and the players' attack methods were even more diverse.
"The enemy's firepower is quite strong—"
"Paladin, push it up!"
"Give me a speed up spell! Give me a speed up spell and I will be invincible!"
"Priest, cast a sanctuary spell—"
The shirtless monk player "Dawei Tianlong" used the acceleration spell to fly over the eaves and walls, dropped from the sky, and suddenly broke into the army formation of the city defense army.
Looking around at the panicked soldiers who didn't know where the enemy came from, he shouted with high spirits.
"I want to hit ten!"
"High wind combo!"
His punches were so fast that you couldn't see them clearly, you could only hear the rapid thumping sounds.
The fist with "qi" attached hit the soldier hard, and seven or eight soldiers around him fell down one after another. The extremely powerful combo even made their armor dent and leave fist marks - this powerful monk player directly turned on the mowing mode.
"Hahahaha!"
"I am a god descending from heaven, and I am killing like crazy!"
The mighty Heavenly Dragon galloped through the crowd, roaring with great pleasure, his bald head splashed with the blood spit out by the soldiers.
Soon, the city defenders noticed him and shot arrows at him.
"Whoosh-"
An arrow came straight at his bald head.
"Deflect the missile!"
Dawei Tianlong snorted coldly, and with the energy gathered in his hands, he actually caught the speeding arrow with his bare hands and used the force to throw it back.
The arrow hit the archer between the eyebrows, killing him instantly.
"Hehe, you have such a small skill, and you dare to show off in front of an expert!"
"You are just a small monster, and you want to sneak attack me? You are really——"
Before he could finish his words, arrows came from all directions.
Although as a monk he could deflect missiles, he was not an eight-armed arhat after all, and his naked body was soon pierced into a hedgehog.
"Out of control."
"My life is worth it"
Dawei Tianlong was lying on the ground, happily watching the huge amount of contribution and experience refreshed on the panel, and then the screen in front of him went black.
