Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord
Chapter 290 Bombarding Grizzlie Castle
On the towering eastern wall of Grizzly Castle, a knight commander in full armor raised a monocular telescope and kept looking in the direction of Jackdaw Town.
The Earl's magic adviser Angel hurriedly walked up to the battlements and came to the knight commander and asked: "Baron, what is the current situation?"
Earl Fagan's cousin Baron Trevor put down the telescope in his hand and snorted coldly: "Gathering not far outside the city, the spies reported that there are less than a thousand soldiers, hum, there are no catapults or any other siege equipment, and those civilian soldiers can't even get a complete set of armor... I want to see how they attack the city."
After the news of the Earl's defeat came back from Jackdaw Town, the Fagan family of Grizzly Castle and the vassal nobles under their protection were really panicked for a while. Trevor, the Earl's cousin and the chief of the family knights, stood up at the right time to stabilize people's hearts and preside over the overall situation.
Although his cousin, who had been a soldier for half his life, was defeated in an unclear way, Trevor had already made up his mind - a brave noble who always led the charge on the battlefield would naturally be defeated by his recklessness and impulsiveness. In addition, there were obviously Union spellcasters in the opponent's camp who secretly helped, so it was not unexpected that Earl Feigen fell into the opponent's trap.
But the current situation is different. Grizzly Castle has never been breached in more than a hundred years since its establishment. Even in the largest-scale invasion of the evil orcs in the south decades ago, those ugly and barbaric aliens only lingered outside the city for a few days after seeing its tall and solid gray walls and retreated in disgrace.
The other party will definitely send spellcasters to sneak into the city to harass, but Baron Trevor is not afraid of them. In addition to the 100-man church trial army team that followed Earl Fagan, there are still several high-level priests and trial army knights in the city. The magic consultants hired by the family, headed by Angel, are also ready to deal with the enemy.
A servant hurriedly ran up to the top of the city, "Sir Baron, their army has begun to move and is heading towards the east gate!"
"Why are you panicking? I already know." The baron scolded fiercely, "Pass the order, let the assembled knights stand by at the city gate, and drive those temporarily recruited mercenaries to the city wall to help us defend the city."
He turned sideways to look at the magic consultant Angel, "Mr. Angel, please ask your low-level mages and followers not to leave the city wall. I suspect they will send spellcasters to harass first..."
Angel frowned and said, "Sir Baron, do you want to Send an envoy to negotiate with them first... The Earl is still in their hands, and there are a group of nobles who followed him to the war. We need at least..."
Trevor waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the other party's proposal: "The enemy is at the gates of the city, what else is there to talk about? Even if we want to negotiate the ransom for the release of the captives, we have to wait until after this battle, and then we will negotiate with them as the winner. "
Angel was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak again, but he heard the friction of heavy armor and footsteps behind him. It was Torre Damir, the high-level knight commander of the Judgment Army stationed in Grizzly Castle of the Church of Glory.
He was also one of the high-level leaders of the Judgment Army sent by Grand Duke Saint Valen and the Church from Golden City to reinforce Grizzly Castle. The other one had previously followed Earl Fagan to Jackdaw Town. Now, like the Earl, he has lost news after the defeat. It is estimated that he was either ambushed by the spellcaster sent by the other party, or he was captured.
The pioneer lord, who was also a spellcaster, would not treat a church judge like a captive. The hatred between the two sides lasted for hundreds of years, and they were mortal enemies, so it was very likely that the chief knight of the judgement army died on the spot.
"The people we planted among the spies did not find any signs of spellcasters in the enemy's soldiers... But we can't take it lightly. All the knights of the judgement army under my command have been assembled and on standby. When they are frustrated in the siege, we will open the city gate with you and launch a charge." Senior Knight Captain Torre Damir said decisively in a deep voice.
While the three were talking, the soldiers guarding the city wall had set up oil pans and rolling logs, and hundreds of archers were all holding weapons and waiting at the battlements of the city wall, waiting for the enemy outside the city to approach and launch an offensive.
The army that was slowly approaching outside the city suddenly stopped, stuck in a position that was just out of reach of the long-range weapons in the city, and began to slowly open the line, busy and tinkering with something.
"What are they doing?" Baron Trevor asked in confusion, "Not only do they not have catapults, they don't even have ladders to climb the city walls. Are they planning to use the soldiers' bodies to knock down the city gates?"
High-ranking Knight Commander Torre Damir judged, "Perhaps they are waiting for us to open the city gates and fight them outside the city. There must be spellcasters ambushing in the dark, so we must not be fooled easily."
Magic Advisor Angel took the initiative to say, "Sir Baron, do you want me to send a few low-level spellcasters out of the city to test the other side? If we can lure out their spellcasters ambushing in the dark, it can also help Judge Damir lock on the target."
Baron Trevor hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly saw a few strangely shaped metal carriages pushed up from the rear of the army outside the city, carrying dark cylindrical objects similar to siege wood.
He narrowed his eyes and took out his monocular telescope from his waist again. As soon as he looked closely, he found that a dazzling white flame came out from the front of the dark cylinder on the carriages.
A low humming sound came from afar...
Almost two or three breaths later, a muffled thunder suddenly exploded at the foot of the city wall, and several people standing on the wall felt a slight tremor from their feet.
"What happened?"
"Is that the Dragon Flame Spear of the Spellcaster Union? Don't they only use this kind of magic weapon on the demon battlefield in the Evil Moon Mountains?"
"No! The Dragon Flame Spear is an alchemical weapon that spews magic flames. It can't attack the city wall from more than a mile away."
But the vibration from the soles of the feet is so clear that it can't be an illusion for everyone. Is it a new magic weapon made by the Union? Earl Feigen was defeated by this thing?
Advisor Angel took the telescope handed over by the baron and looked over it. He also shook his head in confusion to indicate that he didn't know. He casually handed it to the confused Knight of the Judgment Army, Damir, who also looked at it and remained silent.
No mistake, one poem, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!
Not long after, the blazing white flames lit up again from the enemy's army outside the city, this time there were four groups.
It was also a low humming sound, but the muffled thunder that followed seemed to be closer - a battlement of the city wall less than a few dozen meters away from the three people suddenly exploded with a bang, countless rubble flew everywhere, large pieces of city wall bricks fell to the bottom of the city, and a thick cloud of dust rose.
Baron Trevor subconsciously squatted down to avoid the explosion, and felt a buzzing sound in his ears as if he had lost his hearing in an instant. Angel twisted his feet and fell to his side, only the Knight of the Judgment Army, Damir, held on to the parapet and barely stood firm.
It took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses from the sudden explosion, and then they saw that at the shattered parapet of the city wall, the upper bodies of several soldiers defending the city were crushed by boulders, and their bloody limbs and hot internal organs were all over the ground.
Not far from these unlucky guys, several soldiers wearing chain mail fell down, and the small stones that were blown apart pierced their armor, and a lot of blood flowed out of the sieve-like holes all over their bodies.
The enemy was still a thousand meters away from the city, but the city wall had collapsed into a gap several meters wide.
How did they do it?
