Chapter 35 The Antorians are so terrifying.
Eli Wayne, Count of Graywater Castle, felt panicked.
In other words, he has been in a panic during this period, and even sleeping has become an extremely luxurious thing in his opinion.
Highland hound attacks occur day and night.
Since Graywater Castle had no preparations for war before, not only the main entrance of the castle, but also the windows and terraces of the castle may become a breakthrough point for plateau hound attacks, and those ferocious monsters may appear in the castle at any time. Anywhere.
Fortunately, the guards were brave enough and the castle was strong enough, so Eli Wayne was able to huddle in the castle and survive.
But in the past half month, the familiar knights and guards around him were dying one after another.
He originally thought that reinforcements from nearby territories would arrive soon, but now, he didn't even see a shadow of reinforcements, so that the fat earl was not even in the mood to eat.
But now, even the lord's castle, which originally seemed indestructible, seems to be in danger.
In fact, Eli Wayne really wants to run away, but if he runs away, not only will the Wayne family never be able to hold their head high again, but even the title of Earl of Graywater Castle will probably be taken away from him. .
Therefore, he could only hide in the castle timidly, praying to the gods again and again, praying that the knights who broke out could convey the situation of Gray Water Castle, and prayed that reinforcements could arrive as early as possible.
He even suspected that if he continued like this, the knights under his command would chop him to death and then break out.
No longer frightened, the Earl of Graywater Castle just waited, waited, and waited...
Until today, when the Earl of Graywater Castle was frightened for the umpteenth time by the howling of the castle hound, and his legs trembled, the guards The voice finally called the Earl's soul back.
"Lord Earl!"
The guards stuttered with excitement: "There are reinforcements outside the city...there are reinforcements outside the city! The reinforcements are coming!"
"Reinforcements!"
Hearing this, Eli Wayne, Earl of Graywater Castle, trembled and suddenly Standing up from the ground, a glimmer of hope finally flashed through his originally dull and dull eyes.
He pushed aside the guards surrounding the window and looked outside with great effort.
"That's... the flag of Antolia!"
At this moment, nothing could excite the Earl of Gray Water Castle more than seeing the mercenaries of Antolia.
But almost at the same time, a sense of decadence also came to the mind of the Earl of Gray Water Castle:
"Antolia is okay, it's okay..."
Eli Wayne had heard of Antolia a long time ago. The bravery of the Leah people, but before that, he had no idea about the so-called brave knights.
In his opinion, no matter how brave the Antolian people are, they are only a little bit in trouble, and the army under his command will not be much inferior in comparison.
But now...
Greywater Castle was in a mess when the plateau hounds attacked the city on the first day.
If he hadn't been able to survive in the lord's castle, he might have been killed by those monsters like the untouchables outside the city.
However, Antoria was able to survive the hound attacks every five years without any danger, and even had the strength to send out troops for rescue. How could this not surprise the Earl of Graywater Castle?
...
outside the city.
Antolia's army has begun its third battle with the plateau hounds.
The first time was the encounter when Aaron was transporting food, the second time was the defense battle in the Thorn Territory, and now, it was the third time this year.
Although this time, there is no solid city wall as a barrier and no people behind them to rely on, but the Antolian people seem to be more brave.
It must be said that Fast's suggestion of applying animal blood worked wonders.
Leon was keenly aware of this when he first came into contact.
The animal blood smeared on the soldiers seemed to really interfere with the judgment of the plateau hounds. Many hounds became hesitant and slow when biting, as if to determine whether they were their own kind or Antoria holding a weapon. Mercenaries.
It was precisely by virtue of this precious gap that the Antolian soldiers who suddenly broke into the hound group achieved unexpected results, and even caused the entire dog group to become somewhat chaotic.
The weapons of the Antonians can be described as diverse.
Axes, maces, spears, swords...
Every mercenary who has been in battle for a long time has his or her own special skills.
The Antolian mercenaries and the Lapruk warriors seemed to be competing with each other. They both seemed eager to prove their bravery and strength, as well as their strength on the battlefield.
The number of hounds killed has become ironclad evidence that one's own strength is most useful.
So as soon as the two sides came into contact, the soldiers seemed to have been buffed, running rampant without any formation at all.
And this is exactly how mercenaries fight.
At the same time, the fighting will of the plateau hounds does not seem to be very high.
Most of them have already filled their stomachs in the city of Gray Water Castle. Their blood-red eyes seem to lack the ferocity and bloodthirst brought by hunger, and they even show a kind of cowering and retreat on the battlefield. attitude.
After all, this time, there were no unarmed citizens behind the heavily armed Antolians.
On the contrary, the Lord's Castle of Eli Wayne, Earl of Graywater Castle, has delicious meat that the plateau hounds covet.
On one side there are hard bones that are difficult to chew, and on the other side there are soft persimmons that can be ravaged at will. Even a plateau hound knows that it should go for the soft persimmons.
Therefore, facing the fierce front of the Antorians, the plateau hounds instead focused more attention on the Lord's Castle of the Wayne family, causing the knights of Gray Water Castle to complain incessantly and causing serious attrition.
"Boom!"
The fireball falling from the sky seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Violent fire burst out outside the city, causing chaos among the hounds.
Plateau hounds also have memories, not to mention that less than a month has passed.
When Leon raised the staff in his hand, the plateau hound seemed to finally recognize that the brave soldiers in front of him were the humans who beat the dogs on the head in Antolia.
As the firelight fell from the sky, these ferocious monsters seemed to have lost their spines in an instant and scattered towards the surroundings.
"Enter the city!"
Leon saw the previous siege of the lord's castle by the hounds.
At this time, he had no intention of killing the hounds. What's more, the infantry with only 400 people couldn't catch up with those fast-running monsters.
Leon just wanted to rush into the city to see if the fat Earl of Gray Water Castle was still alive.
Otherwise, I really don’t know who I should approach to settle the salary of Antoria’s mercenaries.
