Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 391 Prologue
Just as Rhodes was in a drowsy sleep, a loud horn sounded outside the tavern, waking him up.

He stood up and stretched himself. He felt that he had slept for four or five hours, but the physical and mental exhaustion from martial arts practice had been swept away. He dressed and left the room.

The hall of the tavern has become empty, and after the sound of the horn, those drunken adventurers rushed out with weapons.

Now there are only a few adventurers who just got up from the bed like Rhodes, and even some elderly tavern owners took out a logging ax from the kitchen and left the tavern.

Rhodes walked out of the dilapidated tavern door, took a few breaths of cold air to wake himself up completely, and then walked towards the city wall.

Standing here, he could clearly see that the city wall was covered with torches, illuminating the dark night.

"Wait for me, why are you walking so fast?" Rhodes heard Sam's voice behind him.

He turned around and saw Sam with the giant metal bow on his back and the bearded adventurer walking back and forth. The two of them should have just woken up, and Sam who was walking behind was still yawning.

"Did you sleep in the afternoon again today?" Rhodes asked.

"Yes." Sam nodded: "If you want to climb the city wall later, you'd better follow me."

"It's really not safe to stay with him, boy, you might as well follow me later." The bearded adventurer slapped his chest hard.

His weapon was a huge mace. In the tavern, Rhodes had always seen Sam with his bow on his back, but he had never seen the bearded adventurer's weapon.

"You can just call him Edgar the Bragging King from now on. How many times have you proved to me that your IQ is not much higher than those stupid bears? I don't believe you can find a safer position." Sam looked at it disdainfully. The bearded adventurer glanced.

"Hahaha, I'm not an archer like you. I need to hide behind and shoot arrows secretly. I'm a warrior. As long as I kill all the enemies next to me, then my side must be the safest place." Degas laughed out loud.

Sam patted Rhodes on the shoulder: "Look at him, do you think it's safe to stay by his side?"

……

It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the city wall. The city wall of Eternal Winter City was not only tall, but also very wide. Ten thousand people might not feel crowded on the city wall.

The dragons didn't attack from one side, so each side of the city wall needed to be defended. Even if Rhodes and the others were not regular soldiers, they could still climb the city wall instead of carrying supplies to the city wall.

"Help me, I'm a little dizzy." Edgar said suddenly as he was walking on the stairs leading to the city wall.

Rhodes lowered his head and glanced. It was indeed a little scary to look down from the top. The nearly [-]-meter-high stairs were built so steeply that even the timid people dared not go up.

"Are you talking to me? 'Coward' Edgar?" Sam looked at Edgar, whose face was a little pale, and smiled.

"Yes yes yes." Edgar sighed, he should be very afraid of heights, that's why he willingly accepted Sam's ridicule.

Sam smiled and walked on the outside of the stairs, helping Edgar go up.

Rhodes noticed that there was no sound of fighting coming from the city wall, and the Dragon Clan should not have formally launched an attack.

After boarding the city wall, Rhodes walked to the edge of the city wall and looked down by the surrounding firelight.

A large group of ugly Argonians lined up neatly, holding their shields and walking towards the city wall.

There is still a big difference between Yalong people and dragon people. They look like lizards that can walk upright. The scales on their bodies look disgusting and slippery, as if secreting some kind of mucus.

Rhodes listened to the adventurers in Chasing Dragon Castle and said that the smell of these Argonians was bad, like severely rotten fish, but it was even worse than that.

After fighting the Argonians, many adventurers lost their appetite for several consecutive meals, and many people vomited after fighting with them.

The dragon man looks like a miniature version of a dragon, very strong, with curved horns on his head, and can use dragon breath and many kinds of magic.

It is said that these two species were created by giant dragons with some kind of magic, and other kinds of sub-dragons and ground dragons were also created by magic. It is said that this magic is related to dragon blood.

"They're just here to consume our arrows." Sam said, looking at the scene under the city wall.

"It may also be to induce vomiting. The flying dragon should know that it is easier to vomit if it is too high." Edgar said with a pale face.

He turned his head to look at Sam again, "Don't you shoot a few arrows first to get a feeling?"

"It's a waste of energy. Didn't you see that the archers on the city wall didn't do anything? They are probably going to let them climb the city wall and hand them over to you to deal with." Sam shook his head.

These Argonians held shields. Although the shields were made by cutting down a few trees, they could also defend against most archers' attacks.

There is a large air-forbidden circle around Eternal Winter City. Although it has not been activated yet due to too much consumption, it has played a deterrent role. Before the critical moment, it is estimated that those flying dragons will not come to take risks.

But they should send some flying dragons to cause some trouble, such as after these dragons climbed the wall under the city wall.

"But how did they climb the city wall? There's no such thing as a siege ladder here?" Rhode asked suddenly.

"They are like geckos, they can climb along the vertical wall, even if it is a city wall covered with ice and snow." Sam explained: "When they climb the city wall, they will definitely lose the shield in their hands. It's time for us to attack."

Rhodes didn't know whether it was better to use his power to clean up these miscellaneous fish, or to deal with the powerful dragon.

Although there were a lot of Argonians approaching under the city wall, he reckoned that if he tried his best, he would be able to kill most of them in a short time without getting injured.

But in this case, there will not be much internal power and magic power left in his body.

He thought for a while, and it was better to hand over these Argonians to the ordinary soldiers and adventurers on the city wall. They also had the ability to kill these Argonians, but it was a little more difficult.

Ordinary soldiers and most adventurers have no ability to resist giant dragons at all, and they can only be dealt with by people like Rhodes.

A dragon's roar suddenly sounded in the distance, and the Argonians under the city wall ran up and rushed towards the city wall, and countless huge monsters with different looks rose in the night sky at the end of their sight, and they flapped their wings and flew towards the city wall.
