When the team reached a gentle slope one mile away from the castle, Naranter stopped the team and asked the guards to rest where they were.
Each of the guards was still frightened at this time, and their faces were indescribably pale.
"Everyone, please bring out water and dry food for simple replenishment! The threat has not dissipated yet." Nalant ordered after seeing the Boris guards lying on the ground unwilling to move.
These people have not been trained for long-distance running in the past, and their current state is really different from that of Quick and others.
And the dark creatures have been successfully led to Quint Castle, so the next plan is to be a yellow bird behind and complete the main task of the system. After all, ten energy points represent ten elves.
"Nalant, look, the Death Knight is coming!"
Before Nalant and the others could rest for long, dark creatures came one after another. The first dark creatures to arrive were the death knight and several headless horsemen.
"Narant, do you think Quint can hold on?" Even though he was more than a mile away, Boris still had lingering fears.
"It's not easy to say!" Nalant naturally hoped that Quint would be unlucky, but he really couldn't tell now.
Quint's castle was not built on a mountain like Storm Territory, but on a flat land near a river.
Of course, although the castle is built on flat ground, the defensive capabilities of Quint Castle are absolutely standard.
A moat more than ten meters wide was dug outside the castle, and the only access was a four- to five-meter-wide suspension bridge.
After passing the suspension bridge, there are still the towering city walls and the solid gate wrapped in iron sheets, which is really impregnable.
The only shortcoming of Quint Castle at present is that it lost too many guards this time. There were only forty or fifty guards who escaped with him.
If Quint's guards can reach hundreds, then defending the castle shouldn't be a problem.
Time passed, and a few minutes later, the slower hellhounds and some skeletons finally arrived.
"Roar!" After all the dark creatures had gathered, the death knight finally raised his sword. Following his order, all the dark creatures rushed towards the castle.
There was an immediate response from Quint's castle. As the dark creatures approached, many arrows were shot out from the city wall, accompanied by several fist-sized gravels.
The arrows hit the group of skeletons. Except for a few unlucky skeleton soldiers who were shot in the head, most of them were not painful or itchy, and at most they broke a few broken bones.
However, the few fist-sized stones were different. They drew an arc in the air and then hit the dark creatures, causing many skeleton soldiers to fall apart on the spot.
Often a single stone can seriously injure two or three skeleton soldiers. The only flaw is that the trebuchet launch is relatively slow.
"This... turns out to be a trebuchet, a small trebuchet!" Boris exclaimed with his eyes widened.
Nalant was also a little surprised.
There are also trebuchets in this world, but trebuchets are considered a difficult craft in this world, and only great nobles can master them.
Petty vassals and nobles like Nalant and others would never get it.
The reason is very simple. This thing is considered a strategic weapon in this world, and it is indispensable when attacking cities and castles.
Therefore, the great nobles will not let the trebuchet technology leak out, and the finished products are also strictly controlled.
The fact that Quint Castle can possess a small trebuchet is obviously due to his status as the heir of an earl.
Whoosh whoosh!
Bang bang bang!
While Nalant and the others were still surprised, the fighting over there was still going on.
Because of the presence of the trebuchet, those skeleton soldiers became living targets.
After approaching the city wall for 150 meters, the number of troops continued to decrease. Even a hell dog and two headless horsemen were unlucky enough to be hit by the stones of the trebuchet.
The hell dog howled, and his head was dented and bruised.
As for the two headless horsemen, one of them was knocked to the ground and turned into black smoke. The other one was more lucky and only lost one arm.
Since it can become a strategic weapon in this world, the power of the trebuchet is not small, not much weaker than the solid artillery of previous and modern times.
It’s just that the trebuchet is inconvenient to transport and not flexible enough.
The charge of the dark creatures continued, and finally some skeleton soldiers and hell dogs came to the moat. However, the moat did not seem to pose an obstacle to these dark creatures.
I saw the skeleton soldiers and the hell dogs plop into the river. About ten seconds later, their figures appeared on the other side.
"It's actually amphibious!" This was also the first time Nalant saw a dark creature attacking a city. If it were a human race, he wouldn't be able to swim over even if he was wearing leather armor. Once the heavy armor was soaked in water, it could be used as a lead ingot. .
However, what surprised him even more was yet to come!
After arriving at the bottom of the city wall, the skeleton soldiers began to climb the city wall with their bare hands.
The city walls made of stone are also very smooth, and special clay is used to glue the gaps between the stones.
But the skeleton soldiers used their white fingers to dig out the clay from the cracks in the rocks, and then began to climb up through these cracks.
Nalant felt his scalp numb when he saw this scene. He finally knew how the dark creatures broke into the castle without siege equipment.
Quint's guards also noticed the skeleton soldiers' actions. After a brief period of confusion, the guards hurriedly lifted the rolling stones and threw them at the skeleton soldiers.
But the number of people in Quint Castle was too small, some of them had to operate trebuchets, and there were long archers suppressing the skeleton soldiers below, so they were unable to effectively block the skeleton soldiers from climbing.
Soon, the first skeleton soldier climbed onto the wall, followed by the second, third, and fourth... As more and more skeleton soldiers climbed onto the wall, the sound of fighting and wailing began to be heard from the castle.
"Narant, look, that should be Quint, he is here in person!"
At this moment, a ray of fighting spirit lit up on the city wall. It must have been that the skeleton soldiers had climbed up the wall, and Quint knew that he could no longer hide.
Although his cultivation level was accumulated through the accumulation of Warcraft meat and Dou Qi crystals, it was not a problem to deal with skeleton soldiers.
With the addition of Quint, it seems that the skeleton soldiers will gradually be suppressed.
"Roar!" At this moment, the death knight who had arrived at the edge of the moat roared again.
Following this roar, the skeleton soldiers seemed to have received some instructions and immediately moved towards the top of the city gate.
Wow!
Boom! !
A muffled sound was heard. It turned out that the skeleton soldiers had worked together to break the ropes that fixed the suspension bridge, and the suspension bridge that was retracted was lowered in an instant.
"Roar!" Upon seeing this, the Death Knight immediately led five headless horsemen across the moat.
