"Fifth squad, advance!"

Near the checkpoint, David had already led his men to begin the assault.

"David?" Connor encountered him while cleaning up.

"Didn't I tell you to wait for news?" Connor frowned. "We haven't finished cleaning yet!"

"I don't want to wait too long in that horrible thicket. There's an old saying in the North: wars should be won quickly!" David continued to command his squad forward: "Squad, keep moving!"

"Take down one floor within fifteen minutes! Be quick!"

"No prisoners! Kill all those who block the way!"

"Hey! David!" Connor watched David rushing towards the watchtower, at a loss for what to do.

"Damn it!" He could only mutter to himself.

"First squad! Watch the fifth squad's attack direction and clear the way for them!"

"Lynn! Where are you?!"

A crossbow bolt suddenly grazed Connor's face and struck an enemy soldier who was preparing to ambush him from behind!

That was close! Although the Holy Mark had just warned him, he knew he would be injured if he tried to defend against this sneak attack.

He looked at the enemy soldier who had been shot to death by crossbow bolts and guessed that the other party must be an extremely powerful scout, or even an assassin!

"Connor, I'm listening..." Lynn arrived with his squad. He always led his squad silently, though he coughed occasionally and moved slowly.

"Ahem... I'll take care of the surrounding checkpoints."

"Xiao Hong and the others are on their way too..."

"Hey, everyone's here!" Parker arrived leisurely with his team.

He scratched his head: "Um...did you see any enemies on the way?"

"I captured one out of ten people here, and haven't seen anyone since."

Lynn: "..."

Connor: "..."

That's why one person was missing! So you're moving so slowly?! They've already taken care of almost everything!

“You…you keep going…” Connor closed his mask and led a team to clean up.

Lynn shook his head: "Be careful, don't let Gao Fei run around recklessly, my crossbowmen won't show any mercy."

Yu Ying Gao Fei: "!!!?"

It stared wide-eyed at Lynn, then at Parker, and fluttered its wings a few times in Parker's arms.

It's as if it's saying...

Look at this, is this even human language?

...

"Break down the door!!!" David kicked open the door on the first floor of the watchtower.

Several crossbow bolts were fired from inside the tower, but they were stopped by David's giant shield.

"Charge! Charge! Charge!"

"Take the first floor immediately!"

"Reinforcements detected on the second floor. Intercept them!"

Five squads of soldiers frantically slaughtered the enemy soldiers on the first floor, their crossbow bolts continuously reaping enemy lives.

In terms of equipment and tactics, these disorganized enemy forces were eventually defeated step by step.

They may have once been invincible in their own right, with top-notch individual combat capabilities.

But the current chaotic battle has resulted in a complete defeat. As the saying goes, when they are divided, they are invincible, but when they are united, they are a mess!

Within fifteen minutes, all the enemy troops on the first floor had been completely eliminated. Some of the five squads of soldiers were injured, but their lives were not in danger.

"Sir!" a soldier reported to David, "Second and Third Squads have arrived."

David glanced at the doorway, and Dongshan Hong nodded to him: "Leave the rest to us!"

"Second team, let's go!"

Yin Lang led three teams close behind. He patted David on the shoulder: "Good reaction. We really can't let the enemy catch their breath, even if it's a bit reckless."

"Heh..." David smiled and shook his head: "I wish you all the best."

"Don't wish me luck! Send me some crossbows instead!" Yin Lang joked.

"Roll, roll, roll..."

...

On the second floor, soldiers wielding round shields surged in and launched a frenzied assault, with the angry roars of the enemy commander audible from time to time.

"Second team! Advance!"

"Three teams, fire your arrows!"

"Yin Lang, watch out for enemies coming from the flank!" Dongshan Hong strolled leisurely down the corridor.

The battle is basically won. The enemy force is estimated to be less than ten men. If it weren't for the complex terrain inside the tower with only one staircase, we would have won long ago.

Now, they are trying to take down the tower with zero damage, and perhaps the most effective way is to force them to surrender.

"Push them to the third floor, block the stairwell! Seal off all exits!" Yin Lang led his squad to relentlessly suppress them using their long-range advantage.

The arrows did not kill a single person, but their deterrent power forced the enemy to retreat to the third floor.

The already cramped third floor could accommodate ten people at the same time, which made even the enemy commander extremely irritable!

"We've won a great victory! The entire watchtower is ours!!!" Dongshan Hong deliberately shouted loudly towards the third floor.

"Everyone, hold your ground! Await Princess Elsie's arrival!" Yin Lang shouted. "Our main force is already on its way!"

"The watchtower is ours now!"

"Break through the third floor at dawn!!!"

Their words made the enemy soldiers on the third floor tremble. They looked at their own numbers and then at Yin Lang and Dongfang Hong shouting downstairs.

A sense of defeat spread through everyone's hearts...

"My God! There are people everywhere outside!" An enemy soldier peered out the window and saw dozens of captured soldiers being pressed onto the sand at the checkpoint below the tower.

More and more Allied soldiers gathered below, and torches rose in the darkness, turning the entire watchtower into their territory!

"Thump—thump—"

The bell on the roof rang, and the enemy commander, unwilling to give up, climbed to the roof and struck the bronze bell alone as a warning.

"I refuse to accept this... I refuse to accept this! We'll have reinforcements! They will! I can't die here!!!"

The clock tower struck again and again, attracting the attention of the Allied soldiers and the enemy soldiers trapped on the third floor.

Dongfanghong let out a laugh, tinged with sarcasm.

"Hey! You guys upstairs! Surrender! From now on, we won't kill prisoners, lay down your weapons!"

"Don't wait for reinforcements, the surrounding watchtowers are already ours! You have no reinforcements!"

"Hey! Do you know how many of us there are? Three hundred in total! More than enough to take down a city!"

Seeing that the bells upstairs hadn't stopped ringing, Dongshan Hong continued to shout, "Our reinforcements have arrived!"

"I'll count to three! If you don't surrender, we'll storm the top! We'll leave no one alive!!!"

"one……"

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Before Dongshan Hong could even begin counting, someone fell from the upper floor to the ground, and the chimes gradually ceased...

"..." Dongshan Hong stood there, his gaze fixed on the window, on the dark figure that had just fallen from above.

It seems to be the enemy commander...

"Alert!" The soldiers of the second squad suddenly raised their crossbows and aimed them at the third floor.

A group of haggard soldiers slowly walked down from the third floor with their hands raised. The leader, with his head bowed, said, "We...we surrender."

...

As dawn broke, Trisna rode her horse and led the remaining troops to the third watchtower, where the bells of the previous night could be heard clearly even from several kilometers away.

Fortunately, they could no longer summon reinforcements, as there were no nearby watchtowers, and even the nearest Shadow City was unable to provide support due to the front lines.

Now……
