The Bizarre Adventure of the Warhammer Elves

Chapter 140 Preparing for an ambush

The bombardment lasted for half an hour, and then the giants shot out all the boulders they carried with them, sighing with unfinished content.

At this time, Druchi's main army finally arrived. More than 3,000 elite elven warriors and nearly 10,000 Pandor servants were enough to turn this almost ruined city into scorched earth.

Rohan was riding on the heavily armored Carrot, looking at Amela Castle which had lost almost all its walls, and smiled at Ange next to him:

"Let me tell you, the sling is much more effective than a slingshot. You still don't believe it."

"I'm deeply impressed, sir. I really didn't expect that this kind of weak weapon that only appears in the hands of rat men can be so powerful!"

Ange looked at the devastated castle with some surprise. The last time he saw the sling was during the battle with the Ratmen.

The pebbles fired by the humble slave rats were not enough to pose a threat to the heavy armor of the elves, and could be easily blocked with a shield.

Even slightly stronger rats like sewer runners can only leave a few dents in their armor with their slings.

However, those boulders launched by the slings in the hands of giants can achieve terrifying power comparable to cannonballs.

Except for the slow rate of fire due to the need to swing the rope, it has almost no shortcomings. It is a perfect war machine!

The giant Fam dropped the sling in his hand, took a deep breath, and continued to swing the rope for half an hour. Even the strong giant felt a little tired.

Such a large-scale army also has the advantage of defending the city. Even if Rohan now has giants to help him, he will probably have to pay a heavy price.

A wall-shaped charge composed of heavy cavalry, the iron cavalry easily smashed the shields of the militiamen and crushed the innocent villagers to death.

However, all this was a naked betrayal to the conservative church of the Bacchus Empire.

Accompanied by the horrified shouts of the sentry at the village entrance, overwhelming fire arrows fell from the sky and fell into this peaceful and harmonious village.

Looking at the imperial soldiers crawling out of the ruins through the telescope, Rohan took back the telescope and led the team to leave Amela Fort.

Hundreds of imperial cavalry armed with light crossbows broke open the weak fence at the entrance of the village and kept shooting at the fleeing villagers with crossbow arrows.

However, when he saw the giant at the front raising his big stick and smashing dozens of soldiers into pieces with ease, the general already knew that it was all over.

"General Agathon, all the heretics have been killed, and those traitors who tried to resist have been cleared away."

This is treason!

"Don't worry, we will use the rubble from the city wall as ammunition supply, and we will be able to support you soon."

In less than half an hour, the entire village fell into deathly silence. Apart from the ruins and ashes scattered on the ground, the only ones left were the Imperial soldiers who were burning the shrine.

"Stop running away. No matter how fast you run, can you still be faster than the giant? All surviving soldiers, prepare a defensive formation!"

The general who finally crawled out from under the rubble looked at the surrounding soldiers. Their faces were full of fear, and the hands holding the spears could not stop shaking.

Upon seeing this, the general pulled out his sword that had been smashed into two pieces and shouted to the soldiers who were trying to escape:

"They want to kill them all. Brothers, quickly cover the escape of those villagers!"

Looking at the thick smoke rising slowly not far away, General Agathon knew that it was the village of Pavlon burning, so he asked expressionlessly:

"Why, what did we do wrong?"

Amela Castle is over...

Not far from the village, a huge army of tens of thousands was marching toward Amela Fort in a mighty manner. From the javelins they carried and the black iron spears in their hands, it was easy to see that this was an elite force.

Every soldier's face was full of solemnity. After all, they had burned villages in other countries before, but now this was the first time they burned villages in their own country.

"Run quickly, the empire's legions are coming!"

——A village affiliated with Amelaburg, Bavlun

"Run away quickly, the empire is going to massacre the village!"

Since the faith of the Misty Lady had begun to spread, this small converted village was not invaded by the female snake goddess.

This made the villagers fanatically believe in the Lady of the Mist, and even in this difficult environment, they still built a shrine belonging to the Lady of the Mist.

"Okay, eat quickly after you enter the city. We need to be prepared for reinforcements from the Bacchus Empire that may arrive. When the time comes, you will come to reinforce us."

According to the news from those Imperial believers who have converted to Lady Misty, six legions of the Empire, totaling 30,000 Imperial legionnaires, are stationed in Boshi City not far away!

Even some tired veterans of the war came to this village and formed a militia, ready to protect this moment of peace in this troubled world.

What, you actually formed a private armed force?

His goal was not this worthless castle from the beginning, but the imperial legions who came to support him were his main targets.

…

An imperial knight in charge of leading the troops came to General Agathon and asked for credit, with a flattering smile on his blood-stained face.

Looking at Amera Fort who had no ability to resist, Fam couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and asked Rohan at his feet:

"Can we let the giants take the lead? After throwing stones for so long, everyone must be starving."

Lady Mist repays their faith. Compared with other villages where poisonous snakes are rampant, the local villagers can still catch plump fresh fish and grow vegetables and fruits in the farmland.

The militiamen tried to resist the massacre with hunting crossbows and boar spears, but how could untrained villagers be a match for the elite empire legions.

Hearing the general's shout, the soldiers who had been somewhat scattered finally gathered together and formed square formations to prepare to resist the giant's attack.

Therefore, the purpose of attacking Amela Castle is not the ant legs in this castle, but the tens of thousands of Imperial Legions are the main course!

After receiving Rohan's permission, the giants excitedly picked up their clubs and warhammers, roaring and charging towards the scattered and defenseless imperial legions.

The empire has given you land and the right to survive in troubled times, but you actually build pagan shrines on the empire's land. This is betrayal!

"Well done, glorious knight. We successfully massacred a defenseless imperial village. Our hands are stained with the blood of our compatriots. What other reward do you want?"

"General, His Majesty the Emperor's order is to have no tolerance for these heretics. We should not be merciful to these heretics!"

Hearing General Agathaon's rebuke, the imperial knight did not feel any remorse at all. Instead, he retorted in a strange manner.

He is a knight who belongs to the legion. Although he is nominally at the disposal of General Agathon, he is not the other party's subordinate, so he is naturally not afraid of the other party.
