Just like what happened to Hospens back then, but now with Amirida's reminder, Walls decided not to make any more mistakes and to investigate those spies thoroughly. Hospens had tried to outwit Willis at the beginning, but was outmaneuvered instead, all because of Willis's mistake, and now Walls will definitely not make any mistakes.
The spies sent by King Gryphus were always looking for opportunities. If they had obtained enough intelligence and mastered the shift change time of the garrisons, they could easily open the city gates and let the Rhodok army outside the city enter the city, thus directly capturing the city.
But in recent times, Walsh began to send his own people to investigate these spies. He searched every aspect of the city in order to find all these damn spies. Sure enough, at this moment Walsh's men found some clues.
Through Suno's population register, Wals's soldiers can easily find out where the outsiders are. Therefore, when they know where the outsiders are, the soldiers immediately catch them and interrogate them. Originally, this approach should be to not alert the enemy and secretly observe what the spies are doing? But I have made up my mind to expel these spies quickly. Wals cannot make any mistakes like Hosbens. Moreover, the reinforcements will be here in a few days. If I alert the enemy, the spies may stay in their own place and not come out. In this way, when the reinforcements arrive, they will not be able to make any trouble. It is more likely that these spies will jump over the wall in desperation and directly implement his plan, which will help to find these spies faster.
Wals had a clear plan, so these spies did not dare to show their heads and kept their disguises. Those spies were not local residents, so Wals had sent some people to keep an eye on these suspicious people. A few spies were targeted, but of course there were some who slipped through the net, and Wals did not intend to investigate these things carefully. When the reinforcements arrived, he could leave the city.
King Griffus saw that time was passing day by day, but those spies did not send any news. He knew that something must have happened in the city. Perhaps all his spies were discovered or captured. These were not good signs for King Griffus. The reinforcements from the Kingdom of Nord were gradually approaching. King Griffus heard that the leader of this reinforcement was Thordunjar. Although this young Thordunjar did not have outstanding military talents, his good popularity helped him to gather a considerable number of lords. Those lords took out their belongings in order to cooperate with Thordunjar.
"According to the preliminary report of our scouts, the number of people led by Solton Jarl is about 1,200 people. This number is still slightly insufficient compared with our army of more than 2,000 people. But if we add the more than 300 defenders in the city of Suno and Wals's own guards, we may face an attack of more than 1,600 people. Other lords in our kingdom seem unwilling to come for various reasons." Earl Leland reported the recent situation to King Griffith. When Earl Leland raised his head, he saw the extremely annoyed face of King Griffith.
He originally had the advantage of numbers, but now it has quickly turned around. King Ragnar has taken all the old lords out, and the young lords can actually gather so many people, which is far beyond King Gryphus's expectations. What makes him even more annoyed is that the lords in his kingdom are reluctant to send troops to help him. Some lords seem to be extremely dissatisfied with him for provoking this war. They had experienced a war with the Kingdom of Swadia, and it should have been time to recuperate. Unexpectedly, they are now going to invade other countries, which is extremely inconsistent with the wishes of some lords.
Of course, those war-crazed lords were willing to follow King Griffus to the battle, but those kind-hearted lords did not think so. They felt that if there was another war, it would only cause more casualties. It would be better to stay at home and grow flowers.
King Gryphus didn't know what to do with those kind-hearted lords. When it came to fighting to defend their country, these kind-hearted lords were only willing to stand up, but when it came to invading other countries like this, these kind-hearted lords were obviously unwilling to do so.
In desperation, King Griffith did not force the lord to come out and help him. Forcible attack on the city was one way, but doing so would mean betting the entire army on this city, which was obviously not worth it. The quality of Wals' army was extremely high, and it would cost a very high price to capture the city.
King Gryphus, who was in a dilemma, seemed ready to withdraw his troops, but he was reluctant to do so in vain.
A strong sense of anger rushed into his mind.
"Are our siege equipment ready?" King Gryphus said, suppressing his anger.
"Your Majesty, we have completed more than half of the siege equipment. We believe that all the siege equipment will be completed by this time tomorrow." Earl Leland reported the situation to King Graves.
After hearing this, King Griffus calmed down for a while and then suddenly burst out and said, "No need. Order all the soldiers to prepare to attack the city with the siege equipment we have made. The enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon. If we don't take this opportunity to capture the city, we will have no chance."
After hearing what King Graves said, Earl Rayland was a little surprised, but that was all. He still followed King Graves' orders.
In an instant, all the soldiers of the Rhodok Kingdom stood up, holding up their spears and shields, with swords in front and crossbows behind. First, a wave of arrows shot straight at them, and then the well-equipped infantry began to carry ladders and siege towers to prepare to climb the city wall and fight with the Nord soldiers.
Everyone knows that the Nord Royal Guards are the most powerful infantry on the continent, and the Rhodok Sergeant has strong melee ability, so he is the second-ranked infantry in the entire continent. The number of Nord Royal Guards is scarce, and the number of Rhodok Sergeants is not large either, but each lord has a certain number of Rhodok Sergeants in his troops, while Wals only has a few Nord Royal Guards.
More and more Rhodok soldiers came over from the siege tower. The Nord Royal Guards raised their axes and chopped at the soldiers. A great battle was about to break out. Amirida, Aileen, Matilda, Fatis, Niza, etc., all the people that Wals had chosen climbed onto the city wall and began to fight with the Rhodok soldiers.
On the city wall, a large number of Rhodok soldiers were fighting with the soldiers of Wals. The soldiers of Wals were divided into two factions, one was the soldiers of the Kingdom of Schroeder, and the other was the soldiers of the Kingdom of Swadia. The soldiers of these two factions combined together to defend against the attacks of the Kingdom of Rhodok.
Originally, the Nord Kingdom and the Swadian Kingdom were fighting each other to the death some time ago, but under the mediation of Wals, the soldiers of the two countries are now uniting to fight against the Rhodok Kingdom. It can be said that this skill of Wals is unmatched by other lords.
This has to be thanked to Lorimer's teaching of Wals. Wals was observing the actions of the nearby soldiers at the safest position on the city wall. He could see the enemy soldiers rushing up the city wall frantically. Wals was surrounded by fully armed soldiers. The primary task of these soldiers was to protect Wals' safety. Wals was now the lord of this city. If any accident happened to Wals, the morale would definitely be hit hard, and the city would definitely collapse without a fight.
Looking at the Rhodok soldiers rushing up, Wals looked at his subordinates who were resisting all the time. Airen took his two-handed sword and swung it like a hurricane. The autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, and rows and rows of Rhodok soldiers fell one after another. Occasionally, soldiers holding shields were knocked down by him together with their shields. Airen was just like a cheetah from the snowfield. His strong body supported him, making it impossible for anyone on the battlefield to penetrate his body.
Wals' other subordinate, Mathilde, a Nord female warrior, held a long sword and a hard shield in her left hand. At this time, Wals was already a lord with a territory. The weapons he equipped his subordinates were definitely not ordinary weapons. They were all weapons carefully made by blacksmiths.
马蒂尔德手中的盾牌挡住罗多克王国挥舞的大刀长矛,罗多克王国的市民大多是使用那一种长柄大刀,以及那种长矛,这些大刀和长矛是专门用于在平原之上对付骑兵的,尽管罗多克王国的地区大部分都是山区,但是也有着一部分平原地区,就比如说维鲁加,因此要守住这些地盘需要一些盾牌和长矛进行配合。才能抵挡得住斯瓦迪亚骑士的冲击。
诸如像尼扎,法提斯,这样的战士,也纷纷加入到行列当中,其他的一些战士们自然也不甘示弱,杰克,这是一个和马蒂尔德一样的诺德人,现在他拿着一把巨斧,这是诺德皇家侍卫通常会拥有的一把巨斧,现在杰克的武力和诺德皇家侍卫有得一拼,杰克挥舞着自己手中的这一把巨斧,所过之处无人能敌,一名倒霉的罗多克王国的士兵突然就撞上了杰克,那一把巨斧直接挥舞而去,根本就不像是在使用重武器,巨斧的重量在杰克的手中根本就像一片羽毛一般,巨斧呼啸而过,姓名罗多克王国士兵的脑袋便落了下来。
“哈哈哈,好久没有杀的这么痛快了,来来都给我过来。”杰克对着下面的罗多克王国士兵大喊大叫道,显然杰克对于这一场战斗很是过瘾,根本就不畏惧罗多克王国士兵的人数数量,就和大多数诺德人都是一样的,诺德人好战,他们身体强壮足以像一架战斗机器一般永不停止的向前前进的。杰克便是这一群人当中最好的代表。
在看见了洛德人这样一般嗜血如狂的战斗的斯瓦迪亚人,也纷纷上前拼战,他们好战的个性并没有像诺德人那么强烈,但是不服输的精神他们还是有的,曾经他们败在了诺德人的手下,但是在这一刻,他们也不想输掉那一股精神,毕竟苏诺是原来斯瓦迪亚人的地盘,现在诺德人占领了这里,他们也绝对不会让罗多克人也占领这里,当初罗多克王国是他们的手下败将,不过就是依靠的诺德王国和库吉特汗国以及维吉亚王国这三个国家同时进攻,才导致了斯瓦迪亚王国的灭亡,现在无论如何他们也把曾经的手下败将的这一股帐给算回来。
在城墙之下了葛瑞福斯国王在看见了敌军如此顽强抵抗之后,他的眉头皱了皱。
“你们都在干些什么,我把你们召集到这里过来就是为了制止诺德王国的强大,现在就算我们召集了2000多人却依然打不败那些守军,我们的数量可是圆圆在这群守军之上,可是现在我怎么看起来像是敌军占据了上风,你们带来的视频到底是怎样的士兵?如果说你们全部都带来了一群拿不动武器的懦夫就给我滚回去!”葛瑞福斯国王几乎是用吼出来的话语对着他手下的那一帮领主说话,他的领主在听见了自己的国王发了如此大的火,心中惊慌不已。
还是最有威望的雷兰德伯爵站了出来。
“陛下,请你不要这么生气,敌军顽强抵抗只是一时的,你要知道我们组是有2000多人,而敌军仅仅只有300多人而已,可以说只要我们使用车轮战,肯定能把他们体力全部都好光。这样的话我们夺取这座城市只不过是时间问题而已。”尼罗伯爵相信这一番话肯定能平息格瑞福斯国王的愤怒。
但是他失算了,他的这一番话换来的只是格瑞福斯国王的一声冷哼。
“你们这些家伙,在这一个时刻居然都藏着噎着,如果说我们不能够快速的攻取这座城市,捷诺德王国一个下马威的话,我们的面子什么时候才能找回来?当初我们被斯瓦迪亚王国打的狼狈不堪,我们国家的面子都给丢尽了,斯瓦迪亚王国被消灭,大陆上的人们都认为是四个国家合力才导致的原因,而我们罗多克王国所做的贡献却是最小的,现在我们要狠狠的打击一下诺德王国气焰,我要让整个斯瓦迪亚王国的斯瓦迪亚人,以及北方的诺德人都知道我们罗多克王国的厉害,当初我们被斯瓦迪亚王国所打败,仅仅只是因为我们一不小心出现了一些失误而以。我们的军队才是大陆上面最强大的军队,任何一个人听见我们军队的名头都要落荒而逃。”
格瑞福斯国王指着他手下的那一帮不争气的领主说了,这一次他出战带来了不少精兵强将,可是看看他自己手下的那一帮领主,却没有几个愿意把自己的家当全部都掏出来。看着自己这一帮不争气的领主,格瑞福斯国王就一阵火大。
“洛克伍德,现在你马上给我带人冲上城墙,给我挑选出最精锐的士兵,把他们这些杂碎全部都给我杀得一干二净,让大陆上面的人们都瞧一下我们罗多克王国的威风。”
所有的领主都把目光一挑,看上了那一个被称之为洛克伍德的人,这一个人长得苍老的面容,看起来像是一个50多岁的老头子,她拿着一把木棍,那一把木棍在阳光的反射之下显得极其光亮。
罗多克王国的领主们都可以看的出来这一个老头子到底是谁,她是葛瑞福斯国王手下的一员大将,尽管说年龄已经很老了,但是他依然有着强大的武力,人称朽木。
朽木洛克伍德。
他的武器不是那些锋利的长矛,亦或者那些锐利的弓箭,而是他手上拿着那一根木棍,着一根木棍不知道是用什么方法制作而成的,可以直接和铁棍相比较,和那些正规的金属武器碰撞起来,居然丝毫不落于下风,可以看得出来这一根木棍绝对不是普通的木棍。至于说到底是怎样制作出来的,这些领主也无从知晓,根据大陆上面的传说,都无法得知这一根木棍从何而来。朽木洛克伍德称呼自己的这一根木棍就为朽木。
因此他也有了这样的一个称号,虽然说称号叫朽木,但是绝对不可以小看他。任何一个有称号的人物在大陆上面不是有着强大的武力,就是有着极高的声望,亦或者有着卓越的军事才能。
沃尔斯他也可以获得一个称号的,不过他的称号有点多,暂时没有形成一个统一的称号,因为这个人不仅有着强大的武力还有着卓越的军事才能,或许一个响亮而又杰出的战争会为他赢得一个标准的称号。
现在朽木洛克伍德带着一队精锐的罗多克王国士兵冲上了城墙,借助着攻城塔这样的攻城利器,这一群人很快就冲上了城墙,接下来的一幕自然是不堪入目。对于沃尔斯这一方来说显然不是什么好消息,小木挥舞着自己手中的那一根木棍,最应被称之为朽木的木棍,丝毫没有朽木的样子,即使是穿着重甲的录得视频也进不了着一根棍子的撞击,重甲本来就害怕钝器的袭击,普通的锐气无法穿透重甲对他们造成伤害,但是钝器则不同,木棍刚好就是这样的一种武器,撞在诺德士兵的胸口之上,重甲
所传递的震**波直接让诺德士兵的胸口一阵,紧接着喉咙里面不断的喷吐着大量的鲜血。
瞬间这一名诺德士兵便去见了死神,在几名诺德士兵惊骇的眼神当中,洛克伍德挥舞着自己手中的木棍噼里啪啦便迎了上去,咚咚咚,又是几名诺德士兵应声倒下。
洛克伍德所带领的那一群罗多克视频也是罗多克王国的精锐之师,他们是精锐当中的精锐,挥舞着大刀长矛丝毫不含糊,手中拿着是一种直刃刀,这种直刃刀在狭小的城墙之上可以发挥这出其不意的效果。
一名诺德皇家侍卫突然就出现在洛克伍德的面前,两名想要拦住他的罗多克王国士兵被他的巨斧两下砍成了四段,洛克伍德像这样的场面早就不知道见了多少次了,对于洛克伍德来说,他的心理素质极好,对战经验极其丰富的话怎么说也是活了多年的老头子。
木棍在自己的手中随意的挥舞了几个知识,双脚突然发力猛的就弹到了诺德皇家侍卫的面前,紧接着在诺德皇家侍卫还没有反应的过程当中,他手中的那一根木棍突然就弹到了诺德皇家侍卫的头上,诺德皇家侍卫张口便吐出了一口鲜血,洛克伍德眼中凶光危险,那一个木棍又迎面敲来,直接撞击诺德皇家是我的后脑勺,就算诺德皇家侍卫戴着一顶头盔,可是头盔带脑袋同时被敲碎。
诺德皇家侍卫当场死亡。
Even the warlike Nords gasped after seeing this scene, just like the Vikians saw Kadoc. Although Lockwood was not as terrifying as Kadoc, his strength was enough to make people awed. Several Nord soldiers retreated, unwilling to fight with Lockwood. The Rhodok Kingdom behind him saw the Nords' bear-like appearance and naturally laughed heartily. With Lockwood joining the battlefield, the situation on this wall was temporarily reversed.
Lockwood was a titled warrior, and the changes on this section of the city wall naturally caught Walls' attention.
"Who is that? Why does he have such a powerful force? He can kill such a strong soldier as the Nord Royal Guard in just a few moves." Wals asked the people around him. A Swadian soldier who had participated in the Swadian Kingdom's southern expedition suddenly came out and said.
