Glory Riding and Cutting

Ronan's first night in the forest passed smoothly, without any waves. When Ronan woke up, the bonfire had already been extinguished, and there was only a mass of ashes left. Stiff limbs that slept through the night.

Ronan put away his tent and continued on his way. Ronan didn't know the way, so he could only rely on the compass to go north, because the north of the Jackdaw Forest is the Holy Cross Kingdom, as long as he keeps going north, he will always go out of.

The forest during the day is also very dark, because the top of the head is basically blocked by the canopy of the towering trees, and only sporadic sunlight penetrates through the gaps in the leaves. Ronan holds the compass in one hand and puts the other on the handle of the knife at his waist carefully As he walked, he also carried the hunting bow on his back.

Hoo! A running rabbit was shot by a sharp arrow, and the powerful force directly nailed it to the ground. Ronan walked over and pulled out the arrow, picked up the rabbit, and put the arrow back in his backpack. Ronan was going to light a fire on the spot and roast the rabbit to eat.

This is the third wild animal that Ronan killed. For some reason, there are not many wild animals here. After walking for a long time, Ronan only encountered this rabbit and two unknown birds before. It was about the size of a duck, and it was flying over Ronan's head at that time. Ronan was not polite at all and sent them back to the west with a bow and arrow. Ronan took care of them and threw them into his backpack for preparation. When dinner was served, Ronan also knew that the items in the backpack would not perish, but living things could not be put in the backpack.

While Ronan was happily roasting the rabbit, the pursuit team led by Ahmeda had reached the edge of the Jackdaw Forest. They frowned at the bushes outside the forest, but they had no choice but to tie their horses to the Next to him, like Ronan, he cut off the branches with a knife and followed Ronan's footsteps with difficulty.

On the other side, one kilometer in front of Jianmen Castle in the rocky valley, the army of the Eagle Kingdom has already stationed, and the camp is full of fireworks and cooking. On the long conference table in the lord's hall of Jianmen Castle, five nobles in luxurious silk and satin costumes were having a meeting.

According to the reports of the spies, the leader of the Eagle Kingdom this time is the chief of the Canglang clan, Mukai Canglang, and several small tribes such as the Fury Dragon Orcs, Bloodfang Orcs, and the Brown Bear Clan.

The total number of enemies is about 15,000. Although most of them are temporarily recruited herdsmen, the Eagles make a living as nomads. Their folk customs are tough and the orcs are strong and wild. The berserkers of the angry dragon orcs are all based on One against ten warriors.

And they keep adding reinforcements. Our side and the noble coalition army who fled here are only nearly 8,000 people, and the professional soldiers are less than 3,000. The situation is not optimistic. Said a nobleman in a purple robe sitting on the left hand side of the main seat.

Baron Bowen is right. The number of enemies is about twice that of ours. Although we occupy a favorable location and there are dozens of powerful knights in the castle, we still cannot take our guard lightly.

Jianmen Fort is the most important barrier for my country's defense of the Eagle Kingdom. There is a plain behind Jianmen Fort. Once the city is broken, the eagle will go straight into the hinterland of our country, so it must be guarded.

Baron Bowen continues to detect the enemy's movements. Viscount John, gather your soldiers to prepare for defense. The enemy is likely to attack the city at night or at dawn tomorrow. Baron Hawley, take a few guards and quickly head to Duke Tully's territory for help. Bo Baron Ge, you go directly to the king's capital to meet the saint and report the situation to His Majesty. The meeting is adjourned! Said Earl Zac Blackthorn, who was sitting in the main seat.

As the nobles left their seats to complete their tasks, the hall fell into silence again.

Contrary to what Earl Zack thought, Mukai did not wait. About an hour after eating, he commanded the troops to move. The strong orcs put on simple armors, picked up wooden Shields, a group of dozens of people carried the ladder, followed by a team of climbing walls and archers mixed with humans and orcs.

Iron ore is scarce in the Eagle Kingdom, and most of the armor of soldiers is leather. Only some elite soldiers and officers and nobles can wear iron chain armor. Therefore, they are more eager for the mineral-rich Gaoling area. Attacked once, but Jianmen Fort has not been breached so far.

On the city wall, the garrison of Jianmen Castle has also set up a formation and is waiting for it. The leader is Viscount John, who has put on a full set of knight plate armor, and an extremely tall knight. He is probably nearly 2.3 meters tall, taller than the surrounding The other soldiers were half as tall. He wore a barrel-shaped helmet on his head, and the pulled-down visor was full of holes. His upper body was wearing thick silver plate armor, and his lower body was the same silver armor skirt and leggings. The joints were also protected by chain armor. He is fully armed like an iron can, behind him is a crimson cloth with a pattern of two battle axes crossed on it, and the armor on his body is also covered with a cloth shirt with the same pattern, which is probably his family crest.

In his hand is a long-handled ax spear that is longer than his height. At the end of the ax handle is a thick weight ball with some spikes on it. On the ax head is an ax blade and an awl There is also a giant ax with a spear point on it. He just stood there leaning on the weapon in his hand, like a high mountain, full of oppression, quite like a man guarding the gate.

The eagle's siege team had already assembled, and they stopped 300 meters in front of Jianmen Fort, led by Mukai Canglang. Following his order, the team began to move slowly, Immediately, they began to jog, the speed became faster and faster, and the arrows rained down by the defenders.

Gaoling mainly fights with cavalry and infantry, and there is no special archer unit. These archers are basically composed of auxiliary soldiers and temporarily recruited farmers. It was after the Eagle Siege Team approached that their archers caused certain casualties to the defenders.

Seeing that the archers were not very effective, John immediately ordered them to retreat, put on long spear cards and stand by the battlements to prepare for defense. John also led more than a dozen knights in full body armor and holding various weapons scattered on the city wall to direct the battle.

As the ladder climbed up the city wall, the brutal battle to climb the city began. The leader of the orc soldiers held the shield in one hand and climbed up the ladder with the other. Many soldiers below the ladder prevented the defenders from pushing it down.

The soldier on the ladder was constantly hit by heavy objects such as stones thrown from above and fell to the ground, moaning in pain. Other soldiers dragged him to the back and continued to climb up the ladder, although most of the soldiers were When he was about to climb up the city wall, he was stabbed down with a spear by the soldiers defending the city, but some berserkers of the angry dragon orcs still rushed to the city wall and fought with the surrounding soldiers.

They let out deafening roars, their skin was congested and red, and the whites of their eyes were bloodshot. They wore crude leather armor that only protected their torsos, and they held crude maces, giant axes and other weapons in their hands. The soldiers around him flew out with their shields and others, and some wooden shields were directly smashed, and even the soldiers behind were killed directly.
