That night, the Pirate Kingdom Army received a report: people from Azov City were escaping by boat through the south gate.
"What does this mean?" Amy asked doubtfully, "At least in the siege so far, we don't have an advantage, right?"
"That's because I suppressed that Dast! In the past few days, my advantage has been getting bigger and bigger, and they are finally afraid!" Rurik laughed, "Sign up your troops and ships! Follow me out. Chase!”
Hezekiah seemed a little hesitant: "The Republic of Liguria is good at naval warfare. If this is some kind of trick, we will all suffer if we are led to the sea!"
"Hezekiah, your cavalry is afraid of sea battles, but my soldiers are not. If you don't dare to attack, just let me attack by myself!"
"Rurik, don't just blame me. Your troops are used to taking boats, but aren't they all sneaking, grabbing and running? How many naval battles have you fought? When you are about to go into the sea, you will be The Republic of Liguria has been utterly defeated!”
"What did you say?" Rurik stood up immediately and stared at Hezekiah angrily. Not to be outdone, Hezekiah looked back at Rurik. The two sides are very likely to fight.
Amy asked the soldiers who came to report in a low voice: "Who...are those people who ran away?"
"They all have weapons, they should be soldiers!"
"Were any supplies transported?"
"Every ship is full of people, so there should be very little room for supplies!"
Upon hearing this, Rurik and Hezekiah immediately returned to their seats quietly and continued to drink the thick soup made by Amy.
"If you don't take supplies with you, then let them go. There is no need to risk a naval battle with them."
"Well, we are not demons after all."
So it was the next day.
There are still people guarding Azov City, but the number is obviously much smaller than before. The morale of the soldiers left behind was also obviously low. Several flags were crooked and fell down, and they didn't know how to help them.
Rurik came to the battle as usual.
"That archer! Are you still here? If you are still here, keep shooting at me? Otherwise, my thunder and lightning will come down on you!"
The magic arrow arrived in response. But in Rurik's eyes, this arrow was extremely slow. He flicked it with his hammer, and the arrow fell to the ground.
"Haha, that archer, are you really okay? Why are the arrows you shoot getting weaker day by day?"
Rurik laughed and let lightning fall on the city wall. The defenders were scurrying about the city walls like rats. Hezekiah took the opportunity and waved his hand, giving an order to the coalition forces behind him: "Siege the city!"
As the army pressed forward, the soldiers defending the city completely lost their fighting spirit and began to abandon the wall and flee. Before the soldiers attacking the city gate had time to push the battering ram under the city gate, the soldiers attacking the city wall had already occupied the tower and opened the city gate from the inside.
Rurik wielded his hammer and rushed into the city of Azov. But the doors in the city were closed, the streets and alleys were empty, and not a few people could be seen.
"Where are the enemies? Where are the enemies?
"Report!" A soldier hurried over, "They are trying to escape by boat from the south gate!"
Rurik swung his sledgehammer: "Everyone, follow me to attack the south gate!"
…
…
In an ordinary house along the street in Azov City, two pairs of eyes were closely watching Rurik's movements through the second-floor window.
"The elf-level magician is indeed chasing the south gate." Dast lowered his voice and said to Anna beside him. After shooting the arrow on the city wall, they immediately moved here.
"Great. The crossbowman wounded him before, and I'm really afraid that he will become more vigilant." Anna took the bow from Dust and pulled out an arrow from the quiver on her waist, " For this moment, I let him show off his power under the city wall for three days!"
"I worked hard to get the mayor of Azov to take this risk. Are you really sure you can kill him with one arrow?"
"I don't have such confidence. The opponent is more or less an elf. It's just to prevent him from running away, so you go to all the trouble to lure him here, isn't it?"
"You have to work harder!" Dast cried, "You have lured the enemy into the city this time. If you still don't succeed, the Republic of Liguria will probably throw me into the sea!"
"Although I am not sure of killing him with one arrow, I am still sure of shooting him half to death with one arrow." Anna drew the bow with a squeaking sound, "Today is the full moon!"
As she let go of her hand, an unprecedented amount of magic power shot toward Rurik along with the arrow.
Although Rurik was introduced into the city, he was always thinking about the archer and never dared to let down his guard. As soon as the arrow shot by Anna left the string, he reflexively turned in the direction of the surge of magic power, blocked the hammer to his chest, and at the same time summoned dozens of thunder and lightning in the sky, chasing the magic power and crashing down!
But this time, the arrow's strength far exceeded his expectations. More than half of the dozens of lightning strikes missed the arrow, but failed to change its trajectory at all. It hit Rurik's sledgehammer and penetrated the solid hammer body in an instant. The arrow headed straight for Rurik's heart!
The instinct of survival made Rurik use all his strength to move the hammer. This move finally caused the arrow to change its trajectory. But it still penetrated Rurik's breastplate, and the whole branch sank into Rurik's left chest. Rurik spat out a mouthful of blood, loosened his grip, and the two hammers fell straight to the ground.
"Hit!" Dast jumped up happily, "Quick! Give him another arrow!"
"No more... I need to rest for a quarter of an hour." Anna threw away the bow in her hand and lay down against the wall, breathing heavily, "... Leave me alone, don't let the general on the opposite side run away! He's well taken care of. He was injured and is coming back again!"
Dast quickly took out a trumpet, stretched out the window and blew hard. In an instant, countless crossbow arrows flew out from the houses!
The only ones who escaped last night were ordinary citizens dressed as soldiers. As for the army, they have been ambushing people's houses since last night. The soldiers who were pretending to escape by boat at the south gate heard the trumpet and quickly rowed back to the shore, jumped out of the boat and came back to kill them.
Under these multiple blows, Rurik's troops fell into chaos.
Just as the soldiers were about to surrender, Hezekiah rushed over with a group of cavalry.
"Don't panic, help Rurik to the horse!" Hezekiah shouted to the chaotic troops, "Follow me and rush out of the city gate!"
In the eyes of Amy outside the city, the city gate of Azov slowly closed.
