There was a lot of noise at the top of the city. Baron Sweetwood had appeared on the wall, staring angrily at the knights below.

"Second, walk out of the city gate immediately and have a showdown with us!" The knight read out the second clause.

Baron Sweetwood roared angrily, "I think the Mujik family's reason for declaring war is unjustified! The IOU provided to the Senate is forged! It cannot be used as a voucher! It is absolutely impossible for us to give up our territory!"

"This has already been judged by the Senate! Your plea will not be recognized!" The knights in the city shouted, "The third item, you can abandon the pride of the nobles, choose to hide in the city, and resist to the death! However, our Mujik family vows to make you pay a heavy price for this! Now, you can make a choice!"

"You want war, then come! I'm right here, waiting for you to attack! Our family will fight to the end! You can't even think of taking an inch of land from our hands!" Baron Swood roared again.

How could he back down? Behind him were the people of Lan Yumin and the foundation of the Swood family.

Even the civilians had no choice but to respond to the call, took up arms, and stood guard behind the city gate with some soldiers of the guard and mercenary groups.

The knight who read out the declaration of war laughed coldly and walked back to the military formation calmly.

"Didn't Alphonse promise to come to help? Where are they now?" Baron Sweetwood asked Branta beside him.

Branta couldn't answer this question, so she could only say, "The magic contract has been signed, and he will definitely come. There is no need to worry about this."

Branta also felt a little helpless. She had already reported it once, but her father still asked this question at this time, and she was probably a little panicked.

It would be a lie to say that she was not panicking at all. Branta herself couldn't do it. Looking at the large number of troops in the distance, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

Even if the military strength of the Cold Wind Territory is added, the number is far less than that of the troops mobilized by the Mujik family.

If only I could delay it for a little longer and wait until winter entered.

But seeing the two siege towers and the two giant catapults, Branta was already a little discouraged.

Can it really be defended?

Count Mujik in the military formation smiled calmly, "Sure enough, they chose to resist stubbornly. It was so unwise."

He raised his hand high, pointed at the town ahead, and shouted loudly, "Attack!"

Immediately, the army separated, and the two siege towers slowly advanced.

The sword and shield soldiers also raised their large shields to protect the shooters as they moved forward.

The mercenary group formed two waves and hid behind the siege tower.

The archers raised their long bows one after another, and countless arrows shot out and were thrown towards the city.

But the arrows shot down from the city wall were even denser, and the arrow rain continued to pour downwards.

Blood spattered on the bodies of the combatants on both sides, and there were always stray arrows that could pass through the gaps and hit some unlucky ones.

There were casualties on both sides.

But the barrage of arrows could not stop the steady advance of the siege towers.

The two siege towers have become targets for arrows, with arrows nailed to them densely.

Unfortunately, the arrows could not penetrate the solid wooden wall, and many arrows hit the sandbags hanging above.

"Fight back! Fight back!" Baron Sweetwood had lost his calmness, brandishing his sword and roaring at the top of his lungs, "We must not let them get close!"

"Use rockets!" Branta ordered urgently.

Branta also knew that the leather covering the outer walls of the siege tower had been treated with fireproofing, but as long as arrows could penetrate through the archery opening of the tower and ignite from the inside, it would be possible to destroy the tower.

The arrow dipped in kerosene ignited a flame and shot out quickly.

Although it was a bit hasty, many arrows were quickly shot into the shooting port, but the expected effect was not achieved.

Instead, several fast and sharp arrows were shot from the archery port.

Suddenly, several shooters on the city wall fell down, and the rest only dared to hide behind the large shields of the sword and shield soldiers and fight back.

One look at the powerful arrows, which were shorter than normal arrows, and Branta knew that the soldiers in the siege tower were using crossbows.

It's powerful, but can't shoot continuously.

Branta could only pull the furious Baron Sweetwood and hide behind the shield.

At this time, neither father nor son could fall. If there was an accident, the morale of the soldiers guarding the city would definitely be greatly reduced.

Seeing that the siege tower was approaching the city wall, there was a trench dug below. Although there was no water, it was enough to prevent the tower from approaching the city wall.

There was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground under the city wall, and Branta took a quick look.

Although the sky was full of arrows flying randomly, and even arrows flew into the town, Branta was still protected by her metal helmet.

I saw the mercenaries under the city wall quickly taking out sandbags from under the tower and filling them into the trench.

But the siege tower was so close that it could no longer completely block the mercenary group hiding behind.

"Shoot the people below!" Branta ordered hurriedly.

Without him needing to say anything, the archers guarding the city quickly drew their long bows and rained down arrows on the mercenaries.

But because of this, he was exposed, and several people were shot down by the crossbows in the tower.

Such casualties are still bearable, and the soldiers can still replenish them, but the crossbow still needs time to reload.

"Lord Baron, don't worry! As soon as the tower approaches, I will destroy the suspension bridge immediately! They can't even think of coming up!"

Next to Branta, a strong man with scars on his face clutched the giant ax in his hand and smiled ferociously.

Baron Sweetwood nodded, feeling a little more relieved.

This strong man is Hill, the leader of the Furious Blade mercenary group. He is also an ax warrior with a third-level fighting spirit. He was hired by the Swood family for a large sum of money.

On the other side, there are also strong men from the Furious Blade and the decorated knights of their families who are on guard against the approach of the siege tower, and they should be able to hold it.

Alphonse! Where are you?

Branta was already extremely anxious.

"Strange, why haven't their catapults started attacking yet?" Baron Swood asked.

Yes!

Branta also noticed this abnormal situation.

He glanced over again, and saw that the sound of killing was still loud under the city wall, but the mercenaries only waved their weapons to block the arrows, and huddled under the large shields of the charging sword and shield soldiers, roaring and cursing.

But no one attacked the city gate.

No one from the Sweet family was seen bringing a car to rush towards the city gate.

This is unreasonable!

Branta was confused.

The city gate was well prepared and blocked with sandbags, and a large number of soldiers stood guard there, ready to fight at any time.

Did they just plan to capture the city wall and enter from the top of the wall, but not attack the city gate?

But there was no room for Branta to think about it. The two siege towers had already rolled over the trench filled with sandbags.
