Black Iron Crown

Chapter 26 Beyond the Castle

The night in winter was very dark, and there was not even a single star in the sky at this time, and even the moon disappeared again.

Logan wiped his nose that was red from the cold, and looked solemnly at the enemies below who were advancing towards the city wall.

The enemies at this time were not serf omen soldiers with low combat effectiveness and fighting spirit like before, but regular soldiers wearing leather armor and a few half-length chain armor.

Although they didn't have half of them wearing full-body chain armor like Fort Moreland's army, it was still very rare. After all, the Armor of the Moreland family was acquired by Leiner by stopping the sale of most of the iron weapons.

In the opinion of Baron Lobean, what kind of armor those soldiers wear will not have a great impact on their combat effectiveness. Only brave and skilled knights need iron armor to protect themselves.

To dispatch the regular army was an order given by Baron Lobean. He spent money to equip these regular troops. Every loss of one would make him very distressed. At this point, he has completely given up on the spy in the castle.

Logan bit his lower lip and narrowed his eyes. I have to say that he is also very uncertain now. After all, it is a real regular army, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than the guards on the city wall who temporarily recruited free people.

They are very different from the serf omens before. In the previous battle with the serf omens, the guards only lost one person, and they were dragged off the city wall by the enemy because of bad luck.

But now, huge losses are almost inevitable, and Logan only hopes that the guards can hold on until the Baron leads the army back to the castle.

"Don't let anything happen! Barron!" Logan said silently in his heart.

If Barron had an accident on the road and failed to deliver the letter to Reiner and was injured, then their persistence would have been in vain.

"Don't be afraid! Soldiers! I will stand here with you! I will definitely die before you! The baron will definitely treat your family members generously! The premise is that the castle does not fall!" Logan said resolutely.

At this time, the regular army of Baron Lobean had already begun to climb the long ladder, and the guards dragged their tired bodies to stand ready. If the castle could not be kept, the entire Fort Moreland would have been brutally plundered.

This is normal, any noble will do this after winning the war, even if this place is about to become their territory, they will indulge the soldiers.

The regular soldiers had already boarded the long ladder with shields, spears or long swords. They climbed towards the city wall and put their shields on their heads to protect their whole bodies. They didn't want to lose their lives here.

The guards looked nervously at the ladder on the battlements. They were ready to kill the enemy as before once the enemy appeared.

The atmosphere gradually solidified, and they could only hear the creaking sound of the enemy climbing the long ladder and the heartbeat and breathing of themselves and their comrades.

Suddenly, a soldier with a simple iron helmet on his head appeared on the city wall. Several soldiers stabbed forward with spears and swords like this, but unfortunately, just when they thought they had succeeded, a shield stood in front of the soldier.

Their attack was in vain, and although the soldier was shaken by the blows, he still held on to the long ladder with his other weapon-holding hand to prevent himself from falling.

He continued to step up a step with his body squatting, then stood up suddenly and exposed half of his body, then jumped up and used his shield to block himself in front of him, and landed on the city wall.

He blocked a stabbing spear in front of him, and just as he was about to swing the long sword in his hand to fight back, another spear pierced his liver fiercely.

The severe pain caused him to let out a miserable scream, and while he was screaming, two spears were inserted into his body, and as his head was cut off by a long sword, the blood spurted out tragically. The screaming stopped.

The guards killed an enemy soldier,

But this is just the beginning, the enemies behind are still rushing up the city wall.

"Ahh! Help me!"

A guard on the city wall screamed violently. At this time, he was rolling on the ground with his right arm in his arms. His right hand was gone, and the blood flowing down like water flowed all over the ground.

His injuries would not last long in other places, but this is a cold background after all, and the severe cold climate will slow down his bleeding speed. If he is treated in time, he may still have hope of surviving.

But at least now, he has completely lost his combat effectiveness, and the city wall guards who were originally small in number lost another man.

The guards on the city wall heard the screams, and they were all moved by it, but there was no way, and there was nothing they could do about it.

"Hold on! The baron will be back soon! You! Soldier! Get out of the city wall and seek help inside the castle! Don't let yourself die!" Logan shouted loudly.

There is nothing he can do now, although he used to be the all-powerful spy chief of the imperial colonies, but faced with such a situation, he has no choice but to hope that Reiner can come back as soon as possible.

As time went by, the battle became more and more fierce and cruel. Six guards on the city wall have been killed so far, which is nearly half of the guard force. Now there are only six people left on the city wall who can continue to fight. Count Logan.

Logan licked his lips and took a deep breath. His body was already covered in blood. Up to now, he had killed three enemies with his hands. At the same time, the strenuous exercise also consumed a lot of his energy.

He took a break to look into the distance, but the result disappointed him. He still hasn't seen the reinforcements coming, and more than two hours have passed since the battle started.

But soon he let go of his mind, because enemies appeared in front of him again and again, and the dangerous situation made him unable to distract himself from thinking about other things.

Raising the long sword with many gaps in his hand, he threw himself into the battle against the enemy again. The battle was not fierce, but it seemed so cruel and critical. The only six people on the city wall were guarding the enemy's long ladder. , now they can no longer control the position of the battlements, and a steady stream of enemies have already seized it.

They could only retreat to the stairs of the city wall, where they stood firm to prevent the enemy from further attacking the castle.

After all, the main fort of Fort Moland basically has no defensive measures. Even the door is just a wooden gate, which is difficult to resist the enemy's footsteps.

At this time, Leiner finally led the army to the vicinity of the castle, and there were fires shining in the extremely dark night sky. They were the torches on the walls of Fort Morland and the torches of the enemies below the castle.

Lena stared at the scene in front of him anxiously, but he knew that the soldiers were not in a good condition now, and it was very likely that they would be in danger if they rashly attacked the enemy.

He absolutely cannot allow any mistakes to occur, any accident is very fatal to him.

"Rest for five minutes! Adjust your state! After the victory of this war, I won't take any spoils, I will give them all to you! And you only need to help me win!" Reiner continued the soldiers' rest time.
