"Haha! Keelin, right? I am Narant Berwick, Lord of the Storm Lord of the Onyx Principality. Let me tell you now that I not only attacked Viscount Will's Castle, but also captured Baron Omi's Castle and Baron Doc. Fort!"

"I am now preparing to capture your Baron Carlo Castle. Sir Keeling, I would like to ask you, are you willing to surrender?" Nalant laughed proudly and asked on the wall.

"What, the lord of the Onyx Principality? He also captured Baron Omi's Castle and Baron Doc's Castle." Keeling was startled when he heard this. He never expected to see the Onyx Principality's army in the rear area. .

Originally, he thought that this might be a small principality in the desert taking advantage of the emptiness behind the Marquis of Lisen, but he did not expect that it was actually a team from the Agate Principality.

But in an instant, Keeling relaxed again when he saw the number of people Narant brought and the methods Narant used when attacking Fort Viscount Weir.

Now his eyes became disdainful, "Your Excellency Nalant, you only relied on sneak attacks to capture three castles. Now that Carlo Castle is on defense, do you think you can capture mine with just a few hundred people?" castle?"

"You still want me to surrender? Hum! I advise you to leave our Carlo Territory as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"Your Excellency Keelin, are you sure you won't think about it again? As long as you are willing to make a sneak attack, I promise not to hurt you, and I will give you preferential treatment!" Nalant said.

"Shoot him!" Keelin did not return to Nalant, but directly ordered to the longbowmen beside him.

Whoosh whoosh!

Immediately, more than ten arrows shot through the air.

"Since Keelin chose to resist, I can only say sorry!" Nalant stopped talking and directly turned his horse around and returned.

"Sir!" Back in front of the team, Quick and others immediately surrounded them.

"Notice down and prepare to attack the city!"

Since we can't rely on outsmarting others, we can only do it by force.

To be honest, during this autumn expedition, he seemed to have actually done some siege work. At most, he only covered the army to fill the river outside Maple Leaf City.

Then he was going to try this first siege in another world today.

As for winning or losing, he now has a certain degree of confidence, because when he came here, he had been 'talking about it on paper' for a long time.

The only uncertainty is the casualties.

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing this, Quick and others did not show the slightest hint of timidity, but were faintly excited.

Because only by starting to attack the city can they gain military merit.

"By the way, bring those three noble young masters here and let them see whether it is better for me to outsmart the castle or to be attacked by force!" Suddenly, Nalant remembered the report the guards gave him during the day, and immediately faced it again The guard ordered.

These three guys were tied to the carriage, and they really pretended that they didn't know they were talking bad about themselves.

Soon, Duke, Ryan and Karen were brought to the front.

Nalant's siege team has also been assembled. There are less than 200 people in total. They have not prepared any standard siege equipment such as siege ladders. They don't even seem to have prepared the river filling team.

When Duke and Ryan saw the scene here, they all had strange looks in their eyes.

I originally thought Narant was cunning and cunning, and had no moral integrity.

But now it seems that he was overestimated.

With just these two hundred men, you want to attack the city without even preparing a siege ladder?

Haven’t you seen such a wide moat?

Are you planning to fly there?

The three of them looked at each other and understood each other's disdain for Nalant.

The eye contact and expressions of the three people were exactly the same. Nalant had a panoramic view, looked at the three of them sideways and asked, "Do you think I can't capture Baron Carlo's castle?"

"Uh... No, Your Excellency Nalant's guards are fully armored, and those guards are also extremely strong. They can definitely capture Carlo Castle!" The three people immediately shook their heads in denial after hearing this.

Now they just hope that Nalant will start attacking the city quickly, and then they may have a chance to escape.

After all, with the current situation, it is very likely that all of Nalant's men will never return.

"Haha! Watch carefully. Later you will be glad that I was able to break it inside the castle!" Nalant ignored the three of them.

He turned around and faced his subordinates and said, "Let's get started! Follow the steps I taught you in Baofeng!"

"Yes, sir!"

Immediately, Nalant's men quickly moved into action.

Wow! Wow!

The first to move was the long-range attack team.

"This...what is this?"

As the tarpaulin was being lifted up, the sound of the tarpaulin being lifted was heard three times in a row, and the eyes of Ryan, Duke and Karen were immediately attracted.

When I saw the ten trebuchets and the longbows that didn't look like trebuchets, I was a little confused.

However, no one on the field would explain to them. The next moment, the long-range team was in place and quickly started loading ammunition.

"Sir, the catapult has been loaded! The crossbow has been loaded!" Soon, Vivian reported.

"Well, let's start the first round of test firing!"

"Yes, sir!"

"The long-range attack team obeys the order and launches!"

Buzz!

Boom, boom, boom!

Vivian gave an order, and the catapults and ballistas suddenly started.

Five basketball-sized stone bullets and five crossbow arrows roared towards the castle in the distance.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound from the castle wall not far away, and stone chips and wood chips were flying everywhere.

"ah!"

With a burst of debris flying everywhere, screams soon came from the city wall.

This first round of attacks was a test of accuracy, so only a ballista aimed directly by Vivian directly hit the enemy.

As for the other catapults and ballistae, because the angle was slightly lower, they all hit the wall stacks and walls.

The final casualties were estimated to be only two or three people, two of whom were hit by broken stones or wood chips.

"Continue to adjust the angle and reload!"

Although the first attack did not achieve any results, Nalant's expression remained unchanged. The next step was when the ballistae and trebuchets began to show their power.

"This... this turned out to be a trebuchet, but how could the trebuchet be so small and without a counterweight? How could it throw the stone projectile so far?"

"Really? The stone projectile was shot more than two hundred meters away, smashing half of the wall stacks on the castle. Also, can a longbow be fired like this? This is too powerful!"

"Hey, Karen, Ryan, do you remember the rumors some time ago? It was said that Commander Bacher deliberately said that the Agate Principality had a secret weapon in order to reduce his guilt for the defeat. The secret weapon could fire weapons as thick as a human wrist. Such a long arrow, it seems... it seems like the one we just saw, right?"

Although this first round of shooting did not cause much damage to the enemy, it immediately stunned Ryan and Duke on the side.

Originally, they were still wondering what this strange-looking wooden cart was for.

But now I realized that this was a weapon that I and others could hardly imagine.
