Chapter 171 171. Original Sin
A pair of sisters with extraordinary talents.
My elder sister possesses top-notch talent in martial arts but average aptitude in spellcasting.
My younger sister possesses top-notch spellcasting aptitude, but her talent in martial arts is average.
Both of them practiced hard and had bad personalities.
In the end, the mother decided that the country should be inherited by the stronger one.
In full view of the crowd, the two men fought fairly.
The elder sister easily defeated the younger sister, successfully took over the supreme power of the principality, and became a duke recognized by the allies.
The younger sister could only obtain a piece of border territory and vowed to be a barrier for the country for life.
It is the land of war under our feet.
Because the land is too fertile and rich, it is coveted by neighboring countries.
For more than thirty years, they fought and plundered each other repeatedly. At one point, she fell into the hands of the enemy for more than ten years, until she became increasingly powerful.
The dawn of peace has come to this blood-stained land.
Dana understood one thing a long time ago.
Cold-blooded cruelty is not a sin, weakness is.
In order to pursue power, she thought hard and finally found a way.
By watching the moment of death, the most real and pure emotions burst out. Put yourself in the extreme situation and sublimate your own spiritual power.
Thus, the method of death-viewing meditation was born.
"Lady Dana, Border Town was suddenly attacked and occupied by the Talon Kingdom. They want to negotiate with us."
"Kill them all!" Dana announced calmly, with an obsession that would never change, her figure turned into flowing black mist.
The gallows, which was struggling madly, suddenly stopped.
The long border line in the west of the principality.
The Swift Dragon Cavalry ran across the fields, waving torches and burning everything they saw.
Amid the wild laughter, the fleeing people were chased and hunted down, just like livestock to be slaughtered, with mottled rusty iron knives swinging down mercilessly.
Regardless of age, gender, age, or even newborn babies, this is no exception.
He releases malice without any bottom line and displays his cruel nature to the fullest.
Sometimes, humans are far more brutal than wild animals.
In the southern part of the Principality, outside the city of Morning Light, a massive army was advancing step by step, rushing towards them like a wave.
On the city wall, Duke Dafen looked into the distance, his face gradually becoming heavy, and he muttered to himself: "30,000 or 50,000? They are all elite troops. We are in trouble."
There are only 10,000 defenders in Morning Light City right now. If everyone is called upon to help defend, the number of defenders will probably be no less than that of the enemy.
However, the opponent was a fully armed elite.
Almost everyone wore leather or iron armor, and the front row was lined up with shields and spears held high. There were archers, mages, and catapults.
The Kingdom of Dongqi is serious this time! Dafen held the wall with a little force. A few days ago, intelligence came that the capital of the Principality of Arlans had completely fallen. She thought there was still some time to buffer, but she didn't expect the enemy to launch an offensive without hesitation.
It was obvious that the Kingdom of Dongqi did not use its full strength to attack the city of Arlans! The troops in front of them were the real elite! "The alliance is unreliable!" Dafen took a deep breath: "Catapult, ready!"
"Yes!" The newly promoted warrior captain under his command trotted and shouted.
The strong men pulled the noose with all their strength. With the help of the pulley, the mangonel's range was greatly increased while saving more effort.
Duke Dafen waved his hand gently.
Huge rocks flew in a parabolic trajectory towards the enemy positions.
The Dongqi Kingdom army fought back without any negotiation and the battle went straight to the point of intensive battle.
Soon, stones from Morning Light City fell on the shield formation of the Kingdom Army, crushing the people into meat patties, which then rolled and bounced, crushing a large number of people.
Soon the stones thrown by the kingdom’s army caused the city wall to collapse, and the defenders fell off the city wall, breaking their bones.
As a frontier city, Morning Light City is under direct threat of war and has sufficient defensive equipment.
Trebuchets have an advantage in numbers. In the past, due to the backward technology of craftsmen, they were often at a disadvantage and could only rely on the height difference of the city walls to make up for the disadvantageous situation.
Now the technology reverses.
After several rounds of exchanges between the two sides, the Dongqi Kingdom's army suffered heavy losses in its catapults, and deafening cheers were heard from the city walls.
"Ouch! Good job!"
"Smash these invaders to death."
"Fuck her dad."
The morale of our side has greatly increased! Duke Dafen showed a faint smile on his face.
The shield formation of the Kingdom of Dongqi slowly retreated out of the range of the catapults, leaving behind a field of dead and wounded.
General Brand stood on the head of a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex with his hands folded, looking at Duke Dafen from a distance.
"Don't think that you can gain an advantage just because you have more people, young man."
Because the distance was too far, he couldn't hear the sound, but Brand still made out the general meaning through the lips.
"The battle has just begun!"
The two sides entered a tense standoff.
As time went by, someone discovered that a group of ragged people appeared in the ranks of the Kingdom Army. Judging from their faces and hair color, they were farmers from nearby villages and towns.
"The same trick again!" Duke Dafen instantly understood the other party's intention and became furious.
Hundreds of years ago, wars still had certain limits. Countries signed war treaties to avoid harming farmers who did not participate in the war, to avoid destroying farmland, and so on.
But when despicable people repeatedly achieve victory through means, all principles become unimportant.
Only victory!
Even if I become a devil, it doesn't matter. It's better than becoming an unknown corpse in the wilderness. The so-called morality is not worth mentioning in the face of the glory of victory.
The unarmed people, driven by the war squad, approached the city wall like sheep. A voice was heard from afar: "Please let me in."
"Open the door!"
"Mom, save me."
"Lord Dafen, please give us your instructions." The warrior captain half-knelt on one knee behind the Duke.
After a long silence, Dafen sighed and said, "Use bows and arrows to prevent them from getting close."
The fortifications in front of the city wall must not be destroyed, otherwise the safety of Morning Light City will be threatened.
Arrows from bows and crossbows fell like rain. The broken wooden shield was unable to stop them at all and could only provide some psychological comfort.
Those in the front position fell down in large numbers like wheat, and their blood dyed the barren land red.
The spellcaster mixed in the crowd pressed his hands on the ground, and the city wall began to shake violently.
Duke Dafen fixed his eyes, drew his bow and arrow, and locked onto his target.
The arrow burning with black flames streaked across the sky like a meteor, and created a deep pit the moment it hit the ground.
"Did he run away?"
A broken substitute wooden stake was left at the caster's location, and the original body was nowhere to be found.
Anyone who can cause such a commotion must have at least elite-level strength and naturally have the means to protect his life.
Dafen thought of his daughter Evelyn and sister Dana. There was no shortage of limit breakers in the city, but no elite spellcasters were willing to work for him.
How sad! After this round of charge, the morale of the defenders dropped rapidly.
Many people recognized familiar faces and felt heartbroken and guilty, with some even crying out loud.
