After He Xiao left, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily I was smart enough, otherwise I would really be done for here!"
At that moment, Lin Mo heard a noise behind him...
Turning his head, he saw Xu Chu, who had just woken up from his sleep and was still very weak, standing there holding an oil lamp.
"My lord... what happened?"
Lin Mo wanted to make a move, but then fell silent. "Was I too excited?" he wondered.
Xu Chu staggered over, "An assassin?"
Looking at the guards who had died tragically, Lin Mo nodded. "It's alright, I've taken care of it!"
Xu Chu was utterly shocked and immediately came to his senses. "My lord, you defeated the assassins from Xuanhua Palace all by yourself?"
“Yes, he’s their lord!” Lin Mo said with a smile.
"???!!!" Xu Chu was shocked again. "My lord, is it true?"
"What do you think?" Lin Mo said. "By the way, why are you sleeping like a log?"
Xu Chu blushed slightly. "My lord, I don't know what happened either." He said, "I just remember smelling a strange odor of smoke, and then everything went black before my eyes, and I fell asleep."
Sleeping smoke? No wonder.
Common assassin tactics!
"It's alright, it's all over!" Lin Mo said. "For the time being, those damned Xuanhua Palace assassins won't be bothering us!"
"My lord, you are truly amazing!"
Without the threat of the Xuanhua Palace assassins, Lin Mo could focus on the upcoming battle.
Four days have passed, and there is still one day left until Bai Qi's agreed meeting.
One day later, the answer to that mysterious plan would be revealed.
Lin Mo returned to his room and slept soundly.
When Xu Chu woke him up again, the sky was beginning to lighten, dawn was breaking, and daylight had driven away the night.
The fresh air couldn't dispel the heavy stench of blood that permeated the battlefield; the battle between Lin Mo and the Dos Allied Forces continued.
There were five city walls in total, but now only the last one remains in the main city.
If they are breached again, Lin Mo and his army will face certain death.
Between the fourth and fifth city walls, some houses were still under Lin Mo's control. Yesterday's attack by the Dos people had only opened up a passage in the defensive line of this section.
Throughout the night, Lin Mo's soldiers continued to launch desperate attacks on the Dos coalition forces, attempting to regain control.
Just then, Lin Mo was about to take Xu Chu to the front line to fight the enemy when Bai Qi sent someone over.
"Your Highness, your armor is damaged. General Bai specially sent me to bring you a new set!" the man said.
Lin Mo, “…”
Although somewhat bewildered, Lin Mo didn't take it to heart and immediately changed into that strange set of armor.
Because this armor was really inconspicuous.
The previous set was a carefully crafted one from the system, perfectly suited to his body.
Unfortunately, after being repeatedly slashed by the assassins of Xuanhua Palace, it was no longer in its original form, so he had no choice but to make do with it.
The new armor seemed to be a hodgepodge: chainmail and a hood, the throat guard of a fallen Xia cavalryman, disc-shaped knee pads, and iron boots.
Some of the pieces were decorated, while others were plain in style; none of them were a set and they didn't fit well.
"Let's go, Xu Chu, let's have a good fight!" Lin Mo announced immediately after getting dressed.
Upon reaching the final city wall, the battle was drawing to a close, clearly having raged all night.
The Dos coalition forces inside the passage have been almost wiped out, but sporadic fighting continues.
Standing atop the city wall, Lin Mo felt a pang of unease.
Not far away, he could clearly see countless Dos Allied troops gradually approaching.
"Just one more day!" Lin Mo thought to himself, "The last day!"
As the deafening footsteps drew closer, the Dos allied forces quickly reached the foot of the fifth city wall.
As the sun rose, the Dos allied forces launched a fierce attack, facing the rising sun.
Countless Doth warriors, wielding scimitars, roared like a tidal wave as they surged forward in a dark, overwhelming mass.
In an instant, the glint of swords and the shouts of soldiers from both sides echoed throughout Tianyue Mountain.
Under such immense pressure, even Tianyue Mountain behind the city walls seemed to tremble.
The people of Dos were determined and would not back down.
This place is their sacred mountain, yet it has been occupied by the Daxia people, whom they regard as cattle and sheep. Such a disgrace must not be tolerated.
The Dos allied forces and the Crimson Flame Army joined forces and launched a fierce attack on the city walls, which were riddled with holes.
The city walls were crammed with a dense horde of enemies, while Lin Mo was surrounded by only 20,000 men, none of whom had slept for a day and a night.
All they could rely on was a section of city wall that had been breached in several places.
The only thing that could comfort Lin Mo was that the place was too narrow for large siege weapons to be effective.
Therefore, they barely possess a geographical advantage.
"Archers, prepare!" Lin Mo shouted, facing the surging enemy. "Hold on! Hold on!"
Once within range, shout, "Fire!"
At his command, all the archers of the defending troops drew their bows and fired their arrows.
Arrows rained down in an instant, and many allied soldiers fell to the ground.
The corpses that had been lying here for several days now had new companions.
Lin Mo's archery skills were inferior to those of the Hu-style archer cavalry, but he was no stranger to the longbow. He raised the longbow and drew the string taut. The enemy was running, so he aimed ahead.
With a soft hiss, the arrow left the bowstring, and a roaring Doth man fell to the ground.
Lin Mo drew a second arrow from his quiver. This time he shot it too hastily, but it still hit its mark.
Because there were so many enemies, even the worst archers became unerring marksmen.
