Chapter 229: Red like rain (2)

Perrault saw the sturdy village, the newly dug trenches outside the village, and the archers ready for battle in the towers next to the village.

I realized that the difficulty here might not be any easier than when I was on the defense line.

As far as Pero could remember, Rand had only been given the chaotic land of Crescent Territory as his fiefdom for about a year.

With just this short period of time, can the people of this land risk their lives to support him?

Could this Rand be some cult leader who brainwashed the villagers? Pero sighed. He really didn't want to confront Rand. Ever since he became the first heir to Earl Flying Fox, he had been studying this opponent he was destined to face.

The more you study, the more terrifying it becomes.

But unfortunately, he couldn't convince his father.

So he needs to prepare more for many things now.

This army of his father's was destined not to last long and would expire without his permission.

He decided to destroy some of Rand's loyal forces first.

For example, the super large village in front of us.

He doesn't mind using any means necessary to win.

He just arranged for some people to try to persuade them to surrender, but unfortunately these people were not fooled.

Then we can only attack by force.

Perrault abandoned all illusions and ordered an attack.

This army marched here in a hurry, without any civilian laborers, and even with very little baggage, just enough food for a few days.

And there is no room for delay.

The sandbags had been prepared in advance, and Perot ordered his infantry to go first, carrying sandbags to fill the newly dug, very shallow trenches.

Pero stood in the back, watching his infantry rush forward and fill the road with their own bodies or sandbags.

During this period of time, he has established some prestige and is no longer in a situation where he cannot command.

After seeing that the trench was somewhat filled, Perrault ordered the main force, namely the elite infantry and the Flying Fox Army, to charge forward.

The village where Taran lives is the core of the Crescent Territory. It is not small in size. The wooden walls of the village are layered and the end facing the sky is pointed.

The knights could not climb over the village walls in a short period of time, and spells could not immediately destroy all the walls of the village.

In fact, if Pero was given two or three days, he could easily break down the outer wall of the village, which would make the attack much easier. Unfortunately, Pero was racing against time.

Just like Rand who was rushing over at this moment.

Perrault couldn't afford to delay even a minute.

Since the last attack by the Snow Fox Countess, many more watchtowers have been built in the village.

Now used as an arrow tower.

Several of the more sturdy arrow towers were also equipped with crossbows.

Moreover, the rear wall of the village was also raised, and archers poured arrows and crossbow bolts at the enemy from behind the wall.

There are still many adventurers staying here. After learning about the situation, many of them left, but there are still a few who are willing to participate in the defense on the premise of receiving compensation.

They were not willing to die for Rand, at least most of the adventurers who were willing to participate in the defense were not like that. These people simply had confidence in Rand, believing that this place could be defended and that Rand would arrive in time.

And defeat the enemies outside the village.

Arrows rained down like rain.

Screams and roars continued to be heard from outside.

And there were roars and snarls from both sides.

At this time, it started to drizzle again. The ground, which had just rained and was not completely dry, gradually became muddy again.

Many soldiers outside fell down, their bodies covered in mud.

But he got up again soon.

No one cares too much.

War is not a cool thing. Embarrassment and life-and-death struggle are the most common themes.

Wars in villages are different from wars on defense lines.

There are no city walls or gates to fight for.

Pero's warriors and a very small number of mages have only one goal, to destroy all obstacles in the way.

The village can be said to be very solid, but for these elites who are even top-level professionals, the solid wooden walls are nothing.

In the village, Taran stood together with the soldiers, the tauren, and the temporarily recruited village militia.

Taran has his reasons for wanting to protect this place.

Besides, Taran is not young anymore, his son has grown up, and he has experienced many things in his life.

He is not very afraid of death.

The villagers also have their reasons for wanting to stay here; they want to protect their own homes.

The soldiers swore allegiance to Rand, and the Tauren believed that Rand was the savior of everything.

them……

——United we stand——

The village wall, which looked very solid, did not last long. It was soon chopped into pieces by the tips of the knives and then collapsed.

Then, these theoretically elite infantrymen, and the Flying Fox Army, which were indeed the elite among the elite, first faced the Minotaur Legion.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There weren't many of them, just twelve adult minotaurs in total.

But he was wearing heavy armor and was armed to the teeth.

He is over two meters tall, with a strong and sturdy body and a big axe in his hand, he looks very imposing.

Moreover, the Tauren can also be trained to reach professional levels.

A Tauren of ordinary professional level is equivalent to an elite-level human.

Elite-level Tauren may also be eligible to clash with some less powerful higher-level human professionals.

Among them, there are several elite Tauren, although their profession is priest, they are also specialized in missionary work.

But he is a professional after all, and he has all the blessing skills and protective abilities of a priest.

Pero knew that Rand seemed to have minotaurs under his command, but the information was very vague and Pero did not really believe it.

Now he believes it.

There is actually a fully armed and organized minotaur squad.

The elite infantrymen were somewhat frightened, but the Flying Fox Army charged forward without hesitation.

The minotaur's double-edged axe collided with the spears and swords of the Flying Fox Army and elite infantry.

Taran naturally would not let the Minotaur fight the enemy alone. The moment the Minotaur in the front row came into contact with the enemy, he ordered the soldiers and militia to move forward.

The tactics come from what Rand called infantry-tank coordination.

In short, the Tauren infantry, a heavy unit with higher resistance, defense and better armor, is used as the core of the attack, and then the human infantry with weak defense but decent offensive capabilities is used to help the Tauren eliminate the threats around them.

To avoid the Minotaur being surrounded.

Some enemies who were slightly injured but did not stand up within a short period of time were executed.

Unlike Fenris and Tanr, Taran did not have a deep understanding of Rand's military strategy, and his main job was to govern the place, not to lead troops into battle.

However, in the current situation, Taran just needs to apply it mechanically.

And, give the soldiers under his command a little confidence.

The fighting has spread to the village.

Karin still hid in the house with old Tata's daughter, covering her ears to prevent her from hearing the screams outside.

Karin herself uses her temperature sensing ability to perceive the outside world.

She didn't know why things suddenly turned out like this, nor did she know what to do.

But during this period of time, she lived very happily in the village. At least now that she couldn't see, Karin believed that the villagers and livestock in the village were all good people.

And they are being invaded.

Karin was hesitating.

She also worked in the office and received a salary here. Here, there was a temporary hut assigned to her.

Although they seem to believe in the evil Rand Archangel.

But they don't seem to be bad people.

And everyone is being hurt.
