Chapter 160 The Fleet Enters the Port
"Kill! For the Empire!"

In the port area of ​​Ravana City, the Nordic swordsmen loyal to Richard are fighting with the defenders who came to clear the attackers. Compared with the Bundak army that is similar to the militia left behind, the Nordic swordsmen loyal to Richard Soldiers are obviously more effective.

A sword cut off an enemy's arm, blood spattered on the broken arm and fell to the ground. The burly Nordic swordsman hit the face of the screaming enemy with a shield. The latter stepped back in pain, clutching the broken arm. After losing his arm, the Nordic swordsman then raised his long sword and cut off the enemy's head with one sword. Warm blood sprayed on his body, turning him into a bloody man.

"Go to hell!" Before he could retract his sword, the enemy on the side roared and stabbed him with a deadly spear. The Nordic swordsman didn't even have time to return to defense, and was directly pierced through the chain mail by the spear. The tip of the spear penetrated into his body. Nordic The swordsman looked at the childish faces of the defenders who attacked him in disbelief, and fell to his knees unwillingly. The attacker kicked him down, and the spear was pulled out of his body, and blood instantly flowed from his body. The ferocious wounds gushed out, and the Nordic swordsman gasped for air, but the blood foam that surged up from his throat blocked his trachea and choked him to death.

"Why haven't the reinforcements come yet?"

Holding up his shield to block an enemy's spear, a Nordic swordsman asked his comrades behind him, but no one could answer him, because everyone had doubts about whether the reinforcements would come—until the mid-air Suddenly a colorful firework exploded in the middle, and they breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the fireworks can be shot, it means that Haimen has been controlled by other teams.

And that's exactly what happened. After releasing the fireworks developed by Richard as a signal, Aldermag returned to the control room along the wooden ladder. Killed, blood splattered everywhere, and there was a bloody smell in the air.

With the help of soldiers, Aldermag raised the lowered sea gate—the sea gate was made of heavy steel, and when it closed, it sank directly to the bottom of the river, blocking the passage of the river, and the sea gate itself The gap wasn't even big enough for an adult to slip through.

And just as the heavy sea gate was slowly rising, the fleet that received the signal had already appeared in the sight of Oldmag and others. Looking at the fleet riding the wind and waves in the dark night, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and went on. Come down, as long as the fleet breaks into the city, the city will be at your fingertips.

However, the reality was not so smooth. Just as the first warship was about to enter the sea gate, cheers from the defenders rang out in the port area. With the defenders' numerical advantage, the Nordic swordsmen who resisted their attack were finally defeated.

On the city wall, the defenders who came from other city walls also fought against the soldiers left by Aldermag in advance, but the number of the latter was too small, and each tower was only guarded by two soldiers, although the two left behind The Nordic swordsmen made concerted efforts to resist, but they were still submerged in the wave of the defenders' attack - a situation like the one in the movie with one enemy against a hundred was impossible after all, not to mention that these Nordic swordsmen were only slightly more powerful than the defenders Just ordinary soldiers.

Seeing the enemy getting closer, Oldmag put away his joy for the arrival of the reinforcements, picked up the shield on the ground again, pulled out the long sword in the scabbard at his waist, and walked out of the tower slowly. Beside him, more than a dozen soldiers raised their chests and held their shields in front of them, ready to fight.

"For the sake of the empire, we must hold on until all warships have sailed into the sea gate." Aldermag said to his comrades beside him, his words were full of perseverance and a hint of sadness.

With these dozen or so Nordic swordsmen fighting nearly a hundred enemies on the narrow city wall, I am afraid that the only result is that the entire army is wiped out.

"As long as we can win the final victory, even if we die on this narrow city wall, we are willing." The swordsman on the side said, and the determination to see death as home can be seen from his face.

Aldermag nodded, chuckled, then bent slightly and roared loudly: "Descendants of the Vikings, charge with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone charged the enemy with their shields upright. On this narrow city wall, their thin formation brought unstoppable pressure to the attacking enemies, and even made the timid ones turn pale , legs trembling.

boom!
The sound of shields colliding with shields was deafening on the city wall. The Nordic swordsmen from Scandinavia slammed into the enemy's army formation with their whole weight. Amid the sound of collisions, the defenders in the front row were killed. After knocking over, the Nordic swordsman took out the short knife at his waist, and slit the throats of the enemies under him from the side. It was cut on the shield of the defender, leaving deep marks on it, which made the defender's mouth go numb from the shock.

puff!The dull sound of iron piercing the flesh rang in his ears. With a frenzy on his face, Aldmag pulled out the long sword that had pierced the enemy's abdomen, and brought out a smear of blood. Then he kicked the enemy in front of him, and the latter was in pain. He fell to the ground, clutching the hideous wound on his abdomen, trying to stop the blood that kept flowing out, but Aldermag didn't let him continue to struggle, stepped forward and raised his weapon, directly stabbing into his chest, and then twisted hard After piercing the man's heart, the long sword smashed this important organ, and a large amount of blood gushed out, staining his face red.

"Roar!" After cutting off a person's head, a Nordic swordsman who was soaked in blood looked up to the sky and screamed, but the next second, the defenders next to him took the opportunity to stab his spear into his ribs, and the Nordic swordsman suffered a terrible death. He fell to his knees with a cry, and before he had time to launch a counterattack, the enemy in front of him raised his shield and slammed into his face fiercely. Under the violent impact of the shield, the Nordic swordsman's front teeth and nose were broken, and he couldn't help but Covering his face in pain, the defender kicked him down, stabbed his spear, and pierced his heart directly.

"Ahhhh-"

From time to time, someone fell from the city wall and screamed heart-piercingly. In the melee, the Nordic swordsmen who were outnumbered were retreating steadily. Seeing that there was no hope of survival, several of them directly hugged the closest to them The enemy, together with the opponent, jumped off the towering city wall, fell heavily to the ground, and became a puddle of mixed flesh.

"Huh...huh..."

Leaning against the cold wall, Aldmag was panting heavily. There were dozens of enemy soldiers standing in front of him, but beside him, there was only one left arm injured and unable to lift it up. Shield comrades.

"It seems that we are going to die here tonight." Oldmag said to the comrades around him with a wry smile. The latter also smiled wryly and did not answer. determination to resist.

At this time, loud cheers came from the inner port of the city, and they subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and saw battleships flying Richard's flag of Orioles docked at the port, and a large number of them were fully armed. The soldiers rushed into the port along the landing board and fought the defenders, and the cheers came from the mouths of the landing soldiers.

"It seems that our reinforcements have arrived." Aldermag straightened up and said to his comrades beside him: "In this case, we will die without regrets."
