Chapter 345 Invasion of the City
"Withdraw! Withdraw! The wind is blowing!!!"

Seeing that the kick on the iron plate not only failed to take down the enemy leader, but also damaged many of their own people, these Winster soldiers who were sneaking up screamed and retreated quickly, covering each other, and quickly ran back. The soldiers of Miganis wanted to chase after the shadows that rushed out, but Katrin stopped them. Seeing the orderly retreat of the enemies, she dared to let them go, fearing that there might be some traps inside.

"General?" The soldiers who were stopped by Katrin asked puzzledly, but Katrin didn't answer. She shook her head and said, "It's more important to mobilize the civilians now, we can't waste time here."

Hearing what she said, the soldiers couldn't say anything, they could only cast a worried glance at the dark alleyway, and followed Catherine to move on, but at this moment, a deafening roar suddenly sounded from the direction of the city wall behind them, In an instant, they only felt the ground shaking, the sky and the earth paled, and their feet were unstable and they sat on the ground directly. The huge roar almost tore their eardrums, and shook the windows and doors of the surrounding houses to the ground!
Katrin and the soldiers subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the roaring sound, but this sight was unforgettable for them forever. They saw that the originally tall city wall had been razed to the ground, and the flames were blazing. It spread around, engulfing the soldiers deployed behind the city wall, and also enveloped the surrounding residential buildings-those residential buildings had been shaken down by the previous violent shaking!
"My army... the city wall... are all destroyed..." Katrin murmured, her eyes filled with despair and fear. What kind of divine power is that, able to level a section of the city wall in an instant and build such a huge building? The movement...

She saw with her own eyes that on the street near the city wall, all the soldiers who had been deployed there fell to the ground in disarray. They covered their ears in pain and howled horribly. Some were bleeding from all orifices and lay motionless. There, the internal organs have long been shattered.

Outside the city, after the city wall was blown up to the sky, Richard waved his hand, and the orderly understood it and blew the attack horn. Then, there were successive roars of "attack" in the army, and the soldiers of the whole army stepped forward in unison. The moment they put down their first step, a terrifying murderous aura poured out all around!

"Attack! Capture this city and deploy troops for three days!"

Richard pointed his sword at the city and roared loudly. The morale of the whole army was lifted up, and they uttered battle roars again and again. Their battle roars resounded through the sky, cracking rocks and piercing clouds, making the sky pale and the earth tremble!
Faced with the full-scale siege of Winster's army, the soldiers of Miganis, who had been frightened by the explosion, were naturally powerless to resist. The eardrums of the soldiers around the city wall were blown to pieces, and they became demented and could only sit on the ground. They didn't respond to the things around them, even if the Winster soldiers rushed to them and put their swords around their necks, they still smirked at each other.

These idiots no longer meant much to the Winsters. Even if they were captured and sold to slave merchants, they would not make much money, so the soldiers had no intention of wasting their rations and simply chopped off their heads with a knife, and then Continue to pour into the city.The streets were filled with killed soldiers and many broken city walls. Winster's army continued to advance unimpeded along the streets into the city. When they advanced to the street where the military camp was located, they encountered the first round of resistance. The remnant army commanded by Deputy Marshal Robert formed a tight shield formation and blocked the street. They had the courage to use a mantis' arm as a chariot.

"Don't waste any more effort, get ready for the arquebusiers!" Sandro, who was following the heavy armored sergeant, drew his sword and ordered to his company of arquebusiers. As soon as he finished speaking, the arquebusiers rushed to the army. At the front of the formation, they raised their already loaded muskets and pointed them forward.

"shooting!"

bang bang bang-

A series of gunshots sounded, gunpowder smoke burst out, filling the whole street, followed by a few screams, and the collision sound of shield weapons falling on the ground. Hand it over to the comrades who followed up later, and keep shooting at the enemy.

After several rounds of salvos, when the gunpowder smoke cleared, there were already fallen corpses on the opposite street, leaving only a thin shield line of defense. Every soldier in the shield was horrified, covered in cold sweat, and his Adam's apple He was surging up and down, and almost wanted to escape. If the deputy marshal Robert was not still sticking to his post, he would definitely escape desperately.

"You haven't fled yet?" Sandro said in shock. He was about to give the order to continue shooting, but was stopped by a commander of the heavy armored sergeant group. The latter looked in admiration and said: "If they can persist until now, then... He should be defeated in an upright fight."

The words fell, and before Sandro could respond, he waved his hand and personally led the brigade to launch a charge. When Deputy Marshal Robert saw it, his eyes showed a touch of determination, and he said in a deep voice: "The believers of the mother of the seven hundred gods, We have reached the last moment, and only bloody battles can return our souls to the embrace of the Mother of the Seven Hundred Gods. Anyone who dies in a bloody battle will be served by 72 small raisins after death and enjoy the supreme glory !"

"Blood battle!" He raised his sword high and roared angrily.

"Blood battle!!!" The surrounding soldiers shouted loudly, escape is impossible, it is better to fight bloody to the death, and enjoy 72 small raisins in the kingdom of heaven!
"kill!"

Amidst the shrill roars, the two armies violently collided together, but the thin defense line of Mijanis' army only resisted for a few seconds before being submerged by the black ocean, leaving not even a ripple.

In the city, Katrin mobilized many civilians to take up arms and defend the city square. They moved all the furniture from their homes outside, blocked the street intersections, and set up simple obstacles one after another.They not only guarded the city square, but also shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city, attacking the advancing Winster army. Every time the soldiers advanced a certain distance, they would be attacked by various hidden weapons, either bricks or stones , Although it will not cause harm to the Winsters, it still makes them hard to defend and unable to fight back.

While the residents of Fort Miglen were moving in the streets and alleys, they would inevitably encounter the remaining defeated troops of Winster. The two sides immediately started fighting, but how could these civilians who had not received military training defeat the soldiers who had experienced many battles? , a few of them were killed when they met, and the army was in disarray. They cried for their fathers and mothers. The soldiers directly vented their resentment for the past few days on them, chasing them all the way with red eyes, leaving corpses on the ground in the narrow alley.

The battle lasted until the afternoon of that day, before Winster's army completely occupied the other urban areas of Fort Miggelen, surrounded the city square from several avenues, and trapped the Miganis Legion that was still resisting here, making it difficult to fly.
