Demon Hunter: I became a god in the demon hunting world
Chapter 39 Take Action
Looking at the calm eyes of the Demon Hunter, he remembered the rumors in the army about his heroic record of fighting three monsters alone.
The soldier suddenly felt that the Gato army outside was not scary:
The Demon Hunter Master will definitely lead us to victory!
"Well, I will muster up the courage, and I will definitely protect my homeland!
"By the way, Master, my name is Carter!"
"I remember it, Carter. "
More than an hour later, the morning had arrived, the moonlight faded, and the morning sun slowly appeared.
The light of the morning sun spread over the periphery of the castle, just like an oil painting, full of warm texture.
However, the autumn wind was bleak, and the army pressed on the city, turning this warm texture into a silent cold.
These soldiers guarding the city did not feel how terrible the Cato people under the city were in the dark, but after seeing the dark and fully armed figures under the city during the day, they were a little bit late.
However, at this time, whether it was timidity or regret, everyone in Odinburg had no way out.
The Cato soldiers had already prepared shields, battering rams and other siege equipment under the city overnight.
But they did not take the lead in attacking the city, and It was to make way for a man riding a tall horse.
The man looked arrogant, holding a small flag in his hand and waving it constantly.
Kobe had already come to Dick's side and looked down. He knew that it was the other side's envoy.
When two countries are at war, envoys are not killed.
He waved his hand, and the soldiers around him put down their bows and arrows. The envoy rode his horse to the door with a swagger. Looking at Kobe who was surrounded by people on the city wall, he knew that he was the commander here.
Then, he raised his face and shouted loudly in a poor common language: "Commander of Odinburg, our commander ordered you to surrender now, and we will spare your lives after we hand over the territory. How about it?
Then he changed his tone, "Otherwise, after the siege, we will massacre the city for three days, leaving no chickens or dogs alive!"
"Absolutely impossible!" Kobe's face was determined.
But after hearing the words of the messenger below, the soldiers around him seemed to show an interested look. He knew that this was a psychological attack by the Cato soldiers on the opposite side. They would never accept the surrendered soldiers. It was just to make the defenders of Odinburg hesitate.
Coby was secretly anxious. Looking at the smug Cato messenger under the city, he wished he could shoot him to death with an arrow:
I prepared a speech for a long time before, and finally boosted the morale. I didn't expect that now it would be in vain because of the few words of this Cato messenger.
But Coby joined the Falcon Knights early and has always abided by the knight code. He couldn't do such a thing as killing the messenger in a battle between the two sides.
"Swish!"
The sound of arrows passing by came to his ears, and the Cato messenger under the city covered his throat and fell off his horse in disbelief.
Seeing this, the Cato soldiers in the distance did not dare to come to collect the bodies, but just began to set up a siege formation.
"Dick, you..." Coby looked at the demon hunter who put away the short crossbow with an unbelievable face.
"Commander, I am neither a knight nor a soldier. I will not follow your rules. Besides, don't you know whether the Cato envoy is telling the truth or a lie?"
Coby was stunned when he heard this:
What the demon hunter said makes sense. No matter what Cato does next, they will definitely attack the city, and after the city is broken...
Thinking of this, the quasi-knight understood the demon hunter's approach. He was interrupting the reverie of the soldiers defending the city.
Coby couldn't help but look at Dick gratefully, but the latter obviously didn't notice that the quasi-knight had so many inner dramas.
He looked around at these soldiers who were either confused, resentful, or numb, and said loudly:
"Cato's soldiers are evil. According to rumors from my master, they will persuade people to surrender whenever they arrive at a place.
"After those people really surrender, they will also be tortured to death, and their heads will be pierced on spears.
"Moreover, the Cato envoy has been killed by me, but the Cato people will not look for the murderer. In their cognition, we are all murderers.
"Whether you blame me or hate me, but...
"Next, we can only defend the city, there is no way out."
The surrounding soldiers heard the words, and the strange look gradually disappeared.
Kerby also reacted at this time and shouted: "All troops listen to the order, disperse to the previous defense positions and prepare to defend the city!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers responded loudly, and then dispersed in an orderly manner inside the city wall with shields and bows in hand.
The city wall is staggered, and there is a gap every certain size.
The soldiers can shoot the crossbows in their hands at the low point of the gap, and after shooting, they can hide sideways in the high wall near the gap, relying on the heavy city wall to avoid attacks while taking the opportunity to load the crossbows.
And the city cannot make an effective counterattack at a low point except for the fragile shield.
Therefore, in ancient times, if the attacking and defending sides were equally strong, the attacking side needed ten times the fighting power to break through the city, because the defending side had too much geographical advantage.
Although the walls of Odinburg were not too high, only six or seven meters, it was normally enough.
But the enemy opposite them was the Cato soldiers, as many as three hundred of them.
These Cato soldiers were skilled in archery and horse riding, and even if they were off their horses now, they were excellent archers.
And the fighting power of our side was mediocre, and many people had never fought for many years.
The real fighting power was only a few dozen people.
The comparison of the fighting power between the enemy and us was immediately clear.
It might have been easier with the help of the sorceress.
But now only Dick can help Coby. Fortunately, the Demon Hunter made a temporary breakthrough, which can be regarded as a powerful help.
Without thinking about it, Dick has seen the siege arrangement of the Cato soldiers outside the city through the gap.
In the far left and right of the city wall, several wooden baffles have been erected - arrow shields.
There is only a small vertical gap in the middle of the baffle, which is about the width of an adult's forearm. Arrows can be shot from behind this baffle, and arrows can be shot from the small gap to defend against attacks from above the city. You can also shoot arrows from behind the baffle to defend against attacks from above the city.
In addition, there is a temporary cabin with a sloping roof made of wooden boards on both sides and a simple large cart with eight wheels below.
The Cato soldiers who were being lowered from the sloping roof slowly moved towards the city gate.
And in the middle of the "cabin", there is a metal hammer head connected to a huge tree trunk.
Dick's face condensed. Although he was not a cold weapon enthusiast in his previous life, he had played the Mount and Blade game. This is a siege hammer!
This siege hammer is loaded with siege weapons in the middle of the ‘roof’, swinging back and forth like a swing.
If the hammer is close to the city, the city gate will be broken after a few hits.
The baffle above can resist some attacks from the city, making it easier for Cato’s soldiers to hide below and push the siege equipment.
