A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

That's right, it was a tank.

A horned demon, nearly two meters thirty in height, weighing five or six hundred pounds, and covered in muscle, appeared in the corridor.

It practically blocked the entire corridor, almost completely filling it!

“Roar!” It roared.

The sound was amplified by the corridor.

The Swadian light infantry, standing close together in a dense formation like a steel hedgehog, felt a wave of hot, foul air wash over them, and subconsciously bent slightly, their hearts filled with tension!

Such a large figure!

It was truly intimidating!

“Engage!”

But these Swadian light infantrymen showed no fear on their faces. From the beating of their hearts within their chests, a surge of courage arose from standing within the Swadian stronghold, uplifting their spirits!

So, just as this horned demon burst out of the darkness and arrived before these Swadian light infantrymen, just as it roared,

These Swadian light infantrymen, as if with one mind, raised their kite shields and spears, roaring in unison:

“For!”

“Swadia!”

Even if their voices couldn't match the horned demon's roar,

The coordinated shouts of these twenty-five adults still created a considerable wave of sound within the corridor!

This was a response.

It was also the intense fighting spirit of these Swadian light infantrymen when facing this horned demon!

‘Swish, swish, swish, swish!’

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the stronghold's main building, the hired sentries who had reloaded their crossbows in the firing ports were now even more eager to fight.

Once the crossbows were cocked, the iron bolts secured in the grooves, they raised their light crossbows and unleashed another volley!

Bolts flew.

Short, thick bolts flashed over the heads of the Swadian light infantry, and when they reappeared, they directly struck the horned demon's face, neck, chest, and abdomen.

The horned demon instantly turned into a ridiculous hedgehog covered in crossbow bolt fletchings!

“Roar!”

The pain from all over its body immediately enraged the horned demon, causing it to roar. Its massive body, already occupying the entire corridor, charged forward like a tank!

Directly towards the spear formation formed by the Swadian light infantry!

“Kill!”

And this was exactly what the Swadian light infantrymen wanted to see.

They shouted in unison.

Grasping their spears tightly.

Standing closely together, watching the approaching horned demon, they thrust their spears forward in unison, relying on their long-term training and the tacit understanding of fellow Swadians, blocking the horned demon in front of them!

Blocking it outside their spears!

“Roar!”

The horned demon was even more furious at this moment, because it had been stabbed by twenty-five spears.

Wounds were everywhere.

Holes filled with blood were everywhere.

Even for a creature like the horned demon, with its tough, rough skin like leather and its strong muscles, it would still be injured when facing sharp weapons!

But facing this spear formation that was no different from a hedgehog, even if it was as strong as a tank, it was now helpless!

Moreover, the hired sentries were rapidly reloading and firing their light crossbows.

And on the top of the third floor.

The ballista, which had been moved from the second-floor bedroom to the rooftop by the Lake Rat Gang newbies and set up, was finally about to be fully loaded, emitting a 'click' sound.

The two thick, giant crossbow strings were finally cocked, and a one-meter-long spear was placed into the firing groove.

Two Lake Rat Gang newbies were loading the crossbow.

One Lake Rat Gang newbie was inserting the spear.

A total of three people operated this ballista, each skilled and efficient, with no unnecessary movements.

Finally, after this horned demon appeared in the corridor.

Another successful loading!

Then, the Lake Rat Gang newbie operating the ballista picked up a wooden hammer and heavily struck the crossbow string slot.

‘Buzz!’ The bowstring and bow arms vibrated violently.

‘Swish!’ The one-meter-long spear in the firing groove instantly disappeared.

‘Thud!’

When it reappeared, it had already pierced the horned demon's lower abdomen and chest connection.

The enormous force caused the horned demon, which was still waving its arms, baring its fangs, and full of ferocious aura, to suddenly pause, its entire body staggering back half a step.

As a result, several lesser demons behind it were unable to dodge and were directly crushed under its falling body!

With the cracking sound of bones breaking, the fate of those lesser demons was obvious.

It also caused all the lesser demons behind, who were already blocked, to squawk and flee into the darkness behind them.

Only seven or eight hellhounds, resembling small Tibetan mastiffs, with dark red bodies and no fur, were still barking madly behind them.

But it made the entire corridor even more chaotic.

‘Swish, swish, swish, swish!’

But what greeted the mad barking of these hellhounds were the hired sentries who had reloaded again, raising their light crossbows without even looking, without even aiming, just pointing in a general direction and pulling the trigger!

Another volley of arrows swept past.

The hellhounds, which were still barking madly, stopped their mouths on the spot, and the mad barking turned into wails.

These hellhounds also knew pain.

Including the horned demon that fell to the ground, still struggling to stand up again, but its movements began to slow because a spear had directly pierced its abdomen, all roared in pain.

This scene made the Swadian light infantry, who were still lined up and standing still like reefs, even more excited.

The expressions in their eyes revealed even more eagerness to try!

When fear dissipated.

When courage increasingly occupied the high ground of the mind.

Then.

Even when facing the horned demon that had just rushed over with great momentum, as if to crush them all.

They had a kind of mentality of wanting to fight to the death!

“Roar!”

It was just that this horned demon stood up again, and the wound in its abdomen, directly pierced by the spear, was still dripping with dark red blood with a sulfurous stench.

It was indeed severely injured.

The opened mouth, full of fangs, and the violent and angry madness revealed in those small eyes, could not be concealed at all.

With a roar, it actually crashed straight into the spear formation formed by the Swadian light infantry in front of it!

Pain made it angry.

Being severely injured made it even more angry.

And being severely injured by a group of humans who had been slaughtered by it and its lesser demons…

Made it simply furious to the point of madness!

‘Buzz… Thud!’

Just as it stood up again and roared, rushing into the spear formation, a muffled sound appeared again.

At the position of the horned demon's right shoulder, a brand new one-meter-long spear appeared again, and it also penetrated its shoulder blade, with a sharp spear tip full of blood protruding from its back!

This spear directly crippled its right arm.

And right in front of it, all the spears were thrusting at it, piercing holes in its body.

Because of the assistance of the ballista.

These Swadian light infantrymen did not even retreat half a step, and were still holding the spears in their hands, stubbornly resisting the impact of the horned demon, preventing it from continuing to approach their range!

‘Swish, swish, swish, swish!’

Even the hired sentries were once again firing their light crossbows at him at almost the fastest speed!

In just ten seconds, the horned demon's body was covered with wounds and dripping with blood, looking extremely miserable!

Even if we talk about the total time this horned demon appeared.

That was only four or five minutes.

And it had already…

Fallen to such a state!

“A bit, hilarious.” Even Shen Mu, who was standing next to the wall of the stronghold's main building, still holding the hilt of the Germanic sword, his thumb stroking the silver ring on his index finger, looked much more relaxed at this time.

So much so that when he looked at the horned demon outside the Swadian light infantry formation, who was still stubbornly resisting and not falling down.

His eyes were filled with ridicule!

If it is a creature, then it is necessary to respect the killing effect of weapons.

Even a fantasy-side demon.

When facing a ballista, you must also maintain respect!

And Shen Mu was standing below the stronghold's main building, and could easily hear the winch quickly pulling the crossbow arm and crossbow string above his head, and also making a 'click' sound.

Shen Mu knew that this was the sound of the ballista being loaded again, and the sharp spear in the firing groove could be fired!

It's just that this time, the Lake Rat Gang newbies slightly adjusted the firing angle of the ballista.

‘Thud!’

The one-meter-long spear happened to appear at the horned demon's chest, deeply piercing in and out from the back.

Let the horned demon still wave its left arm, falling into madness, all pause for it.

“Three Arrows Settle the Tianshan Mountains?” And Shen Mu, who was watching this scene from behind, suddenly came up with this word for no reason.

‘Thump!’ Then the horned demon, in front of the spear formation of Swadian light infantry who were poking forward, once again heavily fell backwards to the ground, hitting the hard corridor floor, making a muffled loud noise.

Twitched twice, and then there was no more sound.

“Kill!”

And at this time, the Swadian light infantrymen, who were still forming a spear formation, shouted excitedly.

Because they knew.

Victory actually came to the眼前 in the blink of an eye!
