Viscount Horace stood on the top of the castle tower, looking at the black spots in the distance, and his legs began to tremble.
"coming."
"It's the army of the Burning Cinders Kingdom!"
"They're coming!"
Knight Mitra stood quietly by the side, holding the sword in his hand with a firm expression - he was ready to die for the lord he was loyal to.
“Will we die?”
"Tempus is above"
The soldiers in the castle were also terrified. The army of the Burning Kingdom had now become something that could stop children from crying at night, and even a symbol of death. In the legend, they were simply invincible.
Magnificent and passionate music sounded in the distance, as if foreshadowing the arrival of a terrible enemy.
These guys didn't know that this was a bored player carrying a speaker, humming a song and playing the BGM of "Victory".
The air in the Belon Castle became dead silent. Everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
"Is it finally here?"
"What exactly is the legendary dragon army like?"
Knight Mitra muttered to himself, and a suffocating picture had already appeared in his mind -
Countless ferocious dragon-like earth elves and ogres appeared on the horizon, emitting fierce war roars that made the earth tremble and the mountains panic.
This was not just his imagination, but what the fleeing soldiers said themselves.
However, the next scene was far beyond their expectations, making them feel——
A little confusing?
Only about a hundred people appeared sparsely on the distant horizon.
They didn't have any formation, they just rushed forward like a group of headless flies.
"What the hell is this."
"What are they?"
Carefully observing the enemy in the distance, the battle-hardened Mitra Knight felt even more puzzled.
Generally speaking, sophisticated standard armor is an important criterion for measuring the combat effectiveness of an army, but the enemies in front of them are wearing all kinds of clothes, and some are even worse, going into battle naked.
"Are you kidding me? Can such a messed up thing wipe out the coalition forces?"
"The legendary Scourge—is that all there is?"
"What? They feel even worse than the city's guards."
The soldiers on the city wall also relaxed from their tension and even started chatting.
There are nearly six hundred family soldiers stationed in the Belon Castle. According to the military practice of the North, it is difficult to capture such a solid castle without more than three times the force - unless the enemy can defeat a hundred with one.
But looking at the lazy appearance of the players, no one could associate them with the invincible "Dragon Legion".
The only thing you may need to pay attention to is the wyvern in the air.
"WHAAAAA!"
"Attack the city!"
"Death, little thief from the North!"
At this moment, the music has reached its climax, and the players began to cheer and howl.
The soldiers on the city walls and towers raised their bows and arrows and aimed them at the players on the ground.
Mitra also stood at the front, staring coldly at these "rabbits", and said loudly:
"Get out of here, outsider!"
"This is the territory of the Lotte family!"
"Even with the help of the evil dragon's followers, bandits like you cannot defeat the impregnable Belon Castle!"
Among the players, a player nicknamed [Gustav] looked at the knight on the tower and said angrily:
"This NPC is so arrogant. We've already been beaten to the door, but he's still standing here and being stubborn."
"You like talking nonsense, don't you?"
"Damn it, shoot him!"
Gustav pushed the cannon beside him, calculated the angle, and began to load the shells - he was a member of the Mechanicus and was very familiar with these things.
A loud noise shook the wasteland.
"boom!"
The pitch-black shell drew a graceful arc in the air and headed straight for the city wall.
"I, the Honorary Knight Mitra, am here to advise you." Mitra was just speaking generously when he heard a sharp scream. The next moment, a huge cannonball landed a few meters away from him and then exploded violently.
"boom--"
A cloud of dust rose.
That half of the tower collapsed, broken stones were everywhere, and the whole castle seemed to be shaking.
The ground was littered with broken body parts and scorched corpses, and dozens of soldiers were killed in the explosion.
However, the Mitra knight managed to survive the explosion because he was wearing full body armor and several people acted as his human shield.
"Cough, cough."
Mitra crawled out of the ruins. He looked at the devastation around him, feeling the severe pain all over his body, his face full of disbelief.
“What on earth is this.”
Mitra's heart sank to the bottom. He finally realized that he was deceived by appearances and understood why the army of the Burning Kingdom was "invincible".
"What is this?"
"How could it be such a long distance?"
"Gods, the army of the Burning Cinders Kingdom is truly invincible."
Just one test by the players made all the soldiers in the castle terrified. The sense of security in the castle that they relied on to defend was gone.
"Dang-dang-dang--"
The majestic BGM sounded again, this time it was "aLIEz", which is known as the "nuclear explosion divine song".
"Ahhh-"
"Brothers, prepare to charge!"
"It's burning, it's burning!"
The players cheered and rushed forward.
Gustav held a cigarette in his mouth, patted the hot barrel, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn, he missed the target."
"Don't let them get close!"
"Kill them!"
Mitra endured the severe pain all over his body, raised his sword and shouted loudly.
"Quick! Quick!"
"Fire arrows!"
Faced with these players who were screaming and rushing towards them, the soldiers on the city walls and arrow towers hurriedly shot arrows and threw boulders from above.
These methods have been ineffective in previous defensive battles.
But this time it didn't work.
Most of the players who participated in the siege were veterans of the internal test. Their strength basically reached the level of professionals above level five, and ordinary attacks could not do anything to them.
For example, the famous monk player [Dawei Tianlong]
He used the monk's high mobility to dodge the rain of arrows pouring down from the city wall, and occasionally used the ability of [Deflect Missiles] to reflect the arrows back.
"Fly over the eaves and walk on the walls!"
With a loud roar, the mighty Tianlong easily climbed up the several-meter-high city wall with just a tap of his toes.
"I'm here to kill monsters again!"
Faced with being surrounded by more than a dozen elite soldiers, he did not panic at all. Instead, he laughed and threw countless punches around him. Each punch was accompanied by a wisp of energy that penetrated the armor and was injected into the bodies of the soldiers.
"Resonance Energy: Punch!"
Then, Dawei Tianlong shook his hands and detonated all his energy.
"Resonance Energy: Explosion!"
"boom!"
There was a loud bang, and the energy in those soldiers' bodies suddenly exploded. Almost all of them bled from all seven orifices and fell backwards as bloody corpses.
The ring-shaped smoke spread out, and the only person left standing nearby was Dawei Tianlong, who was even smiling, revealing his full mouthful of white teeth.
"Haha, I've done another wave of hard work. It feels so good."
Mitra watched the players showing off their skills, and suddenly a strange thought arose in his mind.
They were not fighting.
But they are playing. (End of this chapter)
