Chapter 113 Dark Clouds over Yanle City

It's been more than an hour.

Simon's cavalry can be said to be Derek's trump card.

The barbarian cavalry looked arrogant, but they soon began to collapse after contact.

"A mob, vulnerable."

Derek was very happy. This was the team he had accumulated over the years, and now he finally lived up to his expectations.

"Go forward, go forward, occupy the key points as soon as possible, and stop the army of the Barbarian Kingdom outside the Barbarian Wilderness."

Derek led his cavalry to rush forward and arrived at the designated location in a week.

Yanle Mountain is an important place to control the main roads. The Barbarian Kingdom also knows the importance of this place and builds a city for defense.

To the north of Yanle Mountain is the real territory of the barbarians.

To the south of Yanle Mountain, most of them are descendants of some small tribes left behind in the past.

It's not that the barbarians don't want to rule this land, but the population is sparse, the internal system is chaotic, and they are powerless.

In the past 30 years, the two barbarian kings have finally sorted out the internal system and digested most of the occupied land, which is already very good.

The next step is to turn the barbarian wilderness into a bridgehead.

This plan was interrupted by Derek's sudden appearance.

If the population plundering was successful, hundreds of thousands of barbarians and Rock people would have lived together here, and it would have become an important territory under the barbarian king.

Of course, the failure to successfully naturalize also played a buffering role, and it is hard to say whether it is a loss or not.

Before and after Yanle Mountain, the barbarians set up a city and four castles, with a total of 70,000 to 80,000 barbarians living here.

The number of troops also exceeded 10,000, distributed in the narrow Yanle Mountain corridor.

Derek's goal was very clear, to capture some castles and Yanle City and cut off this important passage.

"Simon, in three days, I want to see the double-headed dragon flag planted on Yanle City."

"No problem," Simon took the task very seriously.

Time is tight, so I can only fill it with my life.

The lives of the bottom soldiers are the least valuable.

The vigorous siege began. The Augusta soldiers, who were red-eyed, and the low-ranking officers led the charge and climbed the city wall with ladders.

The two castles near the south were declared lost in half a day.

Yanle City was directly exposed to the eyes of the Augusta army.

Simon showed his ruthless side and asked the soldiers to continue the attack regardless of casualties.

He even rushed with the ladder himself once, and jumped down after getting a little injured.

This made the monastery knights who had never experienced the battlefield jump their eyelids.

Various low-level officers who were comparable to title knights took the lead in climbing the ladder.

Human lives were squandered as if they were worthless.

In half a day, seven centurions were killed, and then the flag captain took over the position and continued.

When night fell, they lit torches and continued the night battle.

Derek didn't eat a single bite of food, watching the soldiers take turns swallowing dry food and fighting at night with lights.

Only with rigorous training and extreme willpower can the Augusta family army show such a strong fighting power.

The barbarians in Yanle City are also going crazy. They have a total of 10,000 people in the temporary mobilization and the army, which is no less than the Rockmen outside the city.

But the casualties are the opposite, and the casualties are even greater.

If it weren't for the side defending the city, the army would have collapsed long ago.

In fact, it's not far away. The officers have found that the soldiers are beginning to fear the battle, and everyone is only holding on with one breath.

"Where is General Wilson?"

The commander defending the city is almost crazy, urging the envoy from the royal court frantically.

"Bullshit, hold on for three days, I can't hold on for a day.

The Rockmen are so fierce, why are we going south? Go to die?"

He felt that he was deceived. No wonder the army that went south before suffered heavy losses and returned. It turns out that the Rockmen are so fierce.

Especially the flag of the two-headed dragon, which gave him a psychological shadow.

The envoy of the royal court was also confused. He participated in the war to the south two years ago.

At that time, the Mega Man was very slow in the early stage, and the so-called Northland Knights did not perform well.

If it weren't for the sudden rise of the knight named Derek, the king's will would have been implemented in the wilderness long ago.

But what are these Mega Man today? Why are they different from the ones they met before?

The barbarians have always paid attention to the power of the Augusta family and even overestimated their combat effectiveness.

But now it seems that it is not enough.

The messenger's scalp numbed and grabbed the commander's arm: "Hold on, you must hold on, Duke Wilson will be here soon."

He couldn't imagine how much trouble it would bring to Duke Wilson once the city was broken.

But what he thought came true. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cheer. Mega Man from somewhere captured a section of the city wall.

The barbarians were still careless. Night battles also made them very uncomfortable. In addition, the gap in organization and dispatch allowed the knights of Augusta to seize the opportunity.

Once they gained a foothold, a steady stream of soldiers climbed up the city wall from here.

The soldiers, who were originally a little tired, were suddenly injected with new strength.

"Kill, chop off the barbarian's head and ask the Earl for the reward."

The Augusta soldiers in formation were even more powerful. Someone used ropes to hang up a team of heavy infantry armor. As soon as they changed their armor, they occupied the gap. One man blocked the pass and ten thousand men could not pass.

Fortunately, the barbarian commander was brave enough to know that running away at this time was no different from seeking death.

He put on his armor himself and waved his sword: "Follow me."

The royal envoy was very pleased. No matter how unruly these tribal leaders were, they could still be relied on at critical moments.

Then... he saw the commander who was cut in half by the heavy infantry.

To be honest, the barbarians had never seen heavy infantry, and they thought they were just ordinary armored soldiers.

Who knew that when they fought, he cut the opponent with a knife, which was useless. The opponent chopped him back with a knife and cut him in half.

The royal envoy couldn't help but cursed: "Waste."

But forget about letting him take over the command. As one of the few nobles among the barbarians who are accustomed to aristocratic politics, he would not throw his life here.

"Duke Wilson's army has been ambushed. Finding the Duke can still win."

After comforting himself, the royal envoy greased his feet and went out of the city directly.

But his direction was not north, but the opposite.

When Derek stood on the top of Yanle City, in the wilderness in the south, armies were gathering.

The barbarians hid in remote places, and even in the mountains.

The army of the Augusta family passed by, but they could not search carefully because they were in a hurry. They only needed to prepare supplies in advance, and it was not difficult to hide.

Enrique, the head wolf, was also among them. After Derek's humiliating defeat, his position was seriously challenged.

Fortunately, the king extended an olive branch and was ruthless enough to stabilize his position.

Even though his situation improved a lot later with Derek's fame, he could not forget the hatred at the beginning.
