With the fall of Zenon Castle, the only obstacle to Richard’s attack on Nord City ceased to exist. Two days after the castle named after his great-grandfather was repaired, Richard’s army went all the way north, and he loyally scouts the cavalry. The scout cavalry led by Commander Arvid always ran at the forefront, to ascertain intelligence for the army.

In the process, the scout cavalry fought several times with the scout sent by Harlindabull, the new military commander of the Kingdom of Winster, but Richard’s side was often victorious. In front of the experienced scout cavalry, the Winsters The scouts had almost no room to fight back.

With Richard’s march, the level of chaos in the city of Nord gradually increased. Everyone was panicking about the return of the former prince. Those wealthy people took advantage of the siege to pack their belongings and flee with the whole family. Go out of this city to a safe place. Although the civilians also want to leave here, they are reluctant to stay here. They can only hide in their homes reluctantly, watching the chaotic crowds and heavily armed patrols on the streets through the gaps in doors and windows. Soldier.

At the same time, various rumors are also walking on the streets of this city. Some people say that Richard’s return this time will bring destruction to Nord City. After the city is broken, the former prince will order the city to be slaughtered and betray him. Some people say that Richard has razed Lyon City and Zenon Castle to the ground, and the residents inside have become victims of the sword.

In the mouths of civilians, Richard has been transformed into a devil who is invincible and destroys the world. He can even tear a strong soldier with his bare hands. He drinks the fresh blood of the virgin to quench his thirst every time he eats, watching the ferocious beasts and the defenseless. The captives wrestled for fun.

Although there are people who are concerned about the old dynasty to defend Richard, but in an environment where everyone speaks like this, they can only remain silent and watch Richard's image getting worse and worse.

Perhaps because of the spread of rumors, when Richard was approaching the city, the citizens of Nord City spontaneously equipped the armor left by their fathers, picked up weapons that have become no longer sharp, and walked out of the house to assist the defenders. Defense. Although the number of civic soldiers who spontaneously assisted the defense of the city was not large, they still motivated the morale of the defenders, and reduced the fear of the coming powerful enemy in the soldiers' hearts.

Finally, on November 22, 1111 in the continental calendar, Richard came to Nord City.

Standing outside the city of Nord City, Richard quietly observed the city he had returned to countless times in his dreams. The towering Gabriel Tower still stands in the center of the city. Richard Knowing that his only immediate family members left in this world are likely to be imprisoned there.

"Build a siege camp, deploy siege equipment, and within ten days I will be crowned king in the Palace of Ippolito!"

Richard ordered in a deep voice. His order was quickly spread throughout the army. The huge legion slowly dispersed. His loyal soldiers took out their tools to cut down trees near the city and defended the soldiers on the wall. In his eyes, a large-scale siege camp quickly rose from the ground.

Richard did not immediately order the siege, but let the soldiers slaughter pigs and sheep, enjoy a rich meal, rest well, recharge their energy, and wait for the next day to attack.

The next day came very quickly. In the early morning, the flags were raised and the swords and guns were shielded from the sun. The rainbow-like Richard army stood silently on the flat ground outside the city of Nord, and in front of the murderous army, Li Chad, dressed in a fine general armor, stood under the flying flag of Orioles and stood by his hands.

In front of him, there were 18 artillery pieces and 28 trebuchets of all kinds. These siege weapons were placed at the forefront of the army, and they were "reviewed" by the defenders on the wall. Looking at these siege weapons, the military commander Harin Dabel looked very ugly. How could he not know what the weapons lined up outside the city were, in fact, the rumors about Richard’s weapons were already in Winster. It spread throughout the noble circle of the kingdom, even the children of nobles who are still receiving education from others have heard of it.

"My God..." Harindabull couldn't help swallowing the saliva that he had secreted from his nervousness. He turned to look at the surrounding soldiers who didn't know what was going to happen, and shouted: "Distract away. Come, spread out, and evacuate the city walls!"

"What?" The soldiers looked at the military commander who suddenly yelled in confusion, but no one acted. At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly sounded outside the city. The soldiers were startled and subconsciously watched. Outside the city, in their sight, a black spot flew from outside the city at high speed. As the black spot got closer and closer, they finally saw what the black spot was, but before they could react, the dark iron ball With an endless impact, hit the city wall hard and make this city wall tremble!

boom!

The sudden violent shaking of the city wall made Harindabur and the soldiers unsteady. The former quickly supported the wall stacks beside him, and then cast his eyes to the outside of the city. Following his gaze, a doom-like scene appeared. In front of him, he saw dozens of fireballs holding the black tail flame trajectory whizzing through the sky, and then accurately smashed into the city wall, or crossed the city wall and fell into the city, smashing through the more fragile houses, and the fireball brought it. The flames spread quickly, swallowing everything around.

Compared with the shelling of artillery, the fireball projected by the trebuchet is obviously more shocking. Witnessing the sky full of fireballs falling from a high altitude, no matter who it is, they will feel fear, their legs are weak, and they want to flee, but they find that the soles of their feet look like Sticking to the ground, no matter how hard it is, it can't move half a minute.

Harindabal is like this~lightnovelpub.net~ He stood there watching fireballs with black tail flames falling from the sky, even if it was a fireball, it hit his vicinity hard, and the tongue of fire was even raised. Only a few centimeters away from him, the heat wave almost overturned him, and he just stood there trembling.

It was not known how long it took before Harindaber was pulled back to reality by the shouts of his guards. He looked at the anxious guards around him, shook his head, and said, "How is it now?"

"My Lord Earl, the soldiers are evacuating the city wall and entering the tower to avoid enemy bombardment. Please go quickly too!"

"Oh... OK." Harindabul agreed, and he was about to move forward, but he almost fell to his knees with this move. If it weren't for the surrounding guards to quickly support him, he might be embarrassed on the spot. NS.

However, just as he was supported by the guards to stand up, a dark cannonball flew at high speed, and then accurately hit the short-lived military commander. The surrounding guards only felt a heat wave rubbing his body, and then he was sprayed on. The warm liquid, after they reacted, they discovered to their horror that the upper body of Count Harindabull had disappeared, leaving only the bare lower body still standing in place!

And the warm liquid on them was the blood and flesh of Earl Harindabal!
