Chapter 431 The decisive battle of Fort Marsi (6)

  …………

  「呜……」

  「呜……」

  「呜……」

  随着三声冲锋的号角响起,科多尔士兵在六七个领兵男爵和十多个骑士的率领下朝马尔西堡再次冲杀而来。
When the soldiers held shields to cover the Kodor soldiers who were carrying ladders and pushing battering rams and ran towards the corner of the wall, Angus gave an order and a flurry of crossbow arrows flew towards the Kodor soldiers, knocking out several Kodor soldiers who were rushing towards them on the spot.

  「Get ready to break the stone!」

 "The kerosene is in place!"

  …

  On the walls of Fort Marsi, the defenders were conducting defense in an orderly manner under the command of the officers.

 Under the strong reward of Count Codor, this time the Codor soldiers broke out with astonishing fighting power. They rushed up against the rocks thrown from the wall. One fell, and then the next one rushed up with his shield. For a moment, from top to bottom on the ladder, there were Kodor soldiers who were constantly attacking upwards. They were all red-eyed and as fierce and fearless as wolves.

"Bury, Bury, hurry up, guard the corner, those bastards are coming up again!" Hans said loudly to Bury, who was pounding the stone down continuously.

  "I know," Bury replied loudly, "These bastards are possessed, why are they so desperate this time!"

  "Hahaha!" Hans laughed a few times after hearing Bury's words, "Bury, what makes you so desperate"

"Where's the money!" Bury blurted out without thinking.

   The two of them looked at each other and smiled while fending off the enemy.

"These bastards want to exchange my head for money. Dream on!" As he said this, he threw a stone on the head of a Kodor soldier who was about to climb up. In an instant, the unlucky guy's head was smashed, and it fell down, knocking down several guys who were climbing up.

 "Hahaha..." Buri was overjoyed when he saw this.
The Kodor soldiers who stormed the city wall were slashed, and some were killed by the sharp arrows flying from the city... At this time, most of the Kodor soldiers had gathered below the city, and only about two hundred people were stationed in the Kodor army camp.

"Sir, the enemy is attacking fiercely, do you think..." Angus asked Art, who was supervising the battle on the side.
                                                    As the bells on the watchtower at the top of Marsiburg tower came, the fiercely attacking Kodor soldiers were startled by the sudden ringing of the bells, and stopped attacking the city one after another. Upon seeing this, the rear positions of the Kodor army immediately sent people to understand the situation...

"People below the city, listen," Art said to the Codor soldiers who had temporarily stopped attacking on the wall of Marsy Fort. "I will give you two ways now." Looking at the Codor soldiers who were listening carefully, Art paused and continued, "One is to put down your arms, stop attacking, surrender immediately, and don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Declare allegiance to the court of the new king Flanders Besançon. The other is , that is, continue to attack Fort Marsi, work for the Count of Codor, and eventually die under the sword of the Wells Legion. After hearing what Art said, the Codor soldiers looked at each other and whispered to the people around them. Looking at the dozens of corpses of Codor soldiers lying on the ground, and then looking at the injured companions around them, the Codor soldiers were shaken...

"Fart!" After Art finished speaking, a Codor leader Viscount cursed Art loudly, "Brothers, don't believe what that bastard said. You can only finally gain title, honor, status, land, and women only by picking up your own weapons, drinking the sword in your hand with the blood of the enemy, and using the enemy's head as a ladder for your ascent!"

 "Hahaha..." The Codor soldiers laughed loudly at the encouragement of the viscount.


 “Bring me that bastard!” Art ordered the guards behind him.

 After a while, several Kodor officers were brought up and stood in a row on the city wall.

                                                     �

                 
      
      


"So what if you capture him? We in Codor have more than one Viscount leading the army, no less than this one. Besides, who knows if you guys will join forces to deceive us. If you can, just kill him, don't even think about using him to stop us from attacking the city!" The Viscount Codor who encouraged the soldiers spoke again.

 "You!" When the Viscount, the captured leader of the southern army in Cordor, heard this, his face turned livid with anger.

  "Okay, since you don't believe that I have this ability, then I'll show you!"

  The Kodor soldiers looked at Art and the captured leader Viscount nervously, not believing what Art would do.

 Normally, nobles should not take other people’s lives. If nobles slaughter each other, they will be punished by the entire noble group. When deciding whether to massacre the leading viscount on the wall of Fort Marsi, the nobles Antayas and Bob urged Art not to kill on a large scale to avoid being criticized in the future.

 But Art was from a down-and-out noble family. His enemies had never thought of the rules agreed between these nobles. Even if the other party was defeated, he would still be spared a life. On the contrary, he and his father were hunted together and fled to the southern valley of the country, hiding their names and living a life of poverty. In the end, his father died in depression, which became an indelible pain in Art's heart.

 So, in the process of rising step by step, Art was ruthless. If someone wanted to take his life, he would definitely do it first. In this dark age, the sharp blade in your hand is the only magic weapon to stand in this dark forest where beasts are rampant...

  At originally planned to let the Viscount live, but under the city wall, the Viscount who led the army of Kodor stood in front of the Kodor soldiers and himself. When his ability and prestige were questioned in front of his own people, the fate of the captured viscount and several knights had already been decided...

   "Here comes!

  "Here!" Art gave an order, and several Welsh Legion soldiers responded.

   "Push them all down!"

     Yes!"

"No, sir, let us go! Let us go! We can do whatever you want, don't kill us! Don't kill us!" Upon seeing this, several people immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

  "Why are you still dazed?" Art ordered.
A scream reached the ears of the Kodor soldiers. I saw several people's brains exploded after landing on the ground, they vomited blood, twitched a few times and then died.

The Kodor soldiers opened their eyes wide and were horrified when they saw this. There were even a few Codor soldiers who vomited looking at the brains splattered on the ground... "Brothers, do you see, these bastards dare to kill even the viscount of the count, and there is nothing they can do. Kill them!" Viscount Codor, the leader of the army, used the death of the captured viscount to encourage the Codor soldiers to continue the attack.

 Seeing how ruthless Art was, the Kodor soldiers had already forgotten all about Art's words. They all picked up their swords and axes and charged forward... "Sergeant Major, light the smoke!" Art ordered Angus while looking at the Kodor soldiers attacking the city.

   「Yes, sir!」

  ………

"Sir Bass, the smoke in the direction of Fort Marcy has been lit." The messenger immediately came to report after seeing the smoke.

  In the dense forest in the mountains east of Marsiburg, Bas, who had just finished cleaning up the more than 200 enemy soldiers in Kodor who were chasing Antayas and his party, was counting the battle losses with Antayas.

  "Langyan" Bass asked.

   "Yes, Sir Bass."

   "Well, it seems that my lord and the others have succeeded. Send the order and rush to Fort Marsi immediately to support your lord and the others!"

   Yes!"

   "Andre, we are setting off, hurry up and follow." Wall shouted to Andre who was sitting on the stone in a daze.

  "Here we come, Sir Wall."

 Andre wiped the blood stains on his face, picked up the sword on the ground and followed...

 During the battle to annihilate the pursuers of Kodor, Andre was originally full of expectations. He hoped to use this battle to kill a few more Kodor soldiers, accumulate military merits, get some rewards, and maybe get an official position. .

 After about a hundred men led by Antayas led all the pursuers of Kodor into the encirclement set by Bass, following Bass's order, all the soldiers of the Welsh Legion rushed out from the dense forest. Andre followed the company captain Wall closely and rushed towards the Kodor soldiers.

 In a moment, the Welsh Legionnaires and the Cordore soldiers fought together. I saw Wall rushing down the hillside and kicked down a Kodor soldier. He raised the broad sword in his hand and inserted it into the abdomen of the Kodor soldier who rolled around on the ground. The Kodor soldier suddenly bled and died soon after.

 Seeing how easily Wall chopped down the Kodor soldiers to the ground, Andre believed what Wall had said to him before: The Kodor soldiers had not experienced war for a long time, and fighting them was like chopping melons and vegetables...

So, Andre raised the long sword in his hand and rushed towards a Kodor soldier directly opposite, preparing to take the life of the Kodor soldier as the first enemy head he took in this battle. Unexpectedly, just as Andre roared and slashed at the Kodor soldier with his sword, the opponent blocked Andre's long sword and kicked Andre in the abdomen. Andre stumbled and fell to the ground, and the sword in his hand fell off.

Andre looked at the Kodor soldier in front of him. Although he was not tall, he had well-developed limbs. His exposed arms were as big as the mouth of a bowl, with bulging veins. When Andre saw that he had chosen such a guy as his opponent, he instantly panicked and even felt a little regretful. Just when he was about to get up and pick up the long sword that was only a few steps away from him, the guy had already raised the sword in his hand and rushed towards him...
