Chapter 77 Breaking Through the City Gate

"what!"

Despite the pain in his arm, Tang Zhe quickly escaped the range of the sword light while Muni helped him block it.

"Damn it!"

Upon regaining his senses, Tang Zhe immediately sensed the life force field emanating from the knight who had attacked him, and his expression changed drastically: "Great Knight!"

The Great Knight!?

Viscount Krupp has a Grand Knight under his command?!

"call out!"

The sword flashed, enveloping Tang Zhe and Mu Ni.

The one who launched the surprise attack was Kidd, who had been sent by Lin Meng to protect Viscount Krupp.

"What a pity."

Kidd was somewhat disappointed.

That sword strike didn't completely kill Tang Zhe, but... it crippled his arm, so his combat power was greatly reduced.

Since the sneak attack failed, then...

We will defeat these two top-tier knights openly and fairly.

As his life force field erupted, the Great Knight Force Field spread out from his body in concentric circles.

In an instant, all the knights present sensed something and exclaimed in alarm, "How could there be a Grand Knight in Viscount Krupp's mansion? This is a trap!?"

As Kidd made his move, the knights who had been hiding in the shadows and had infiltrated with him, including Hel and Amanda, also took action. Together with the experts at Viscount Krupp's mansion, they intercepted all the knights of Earl Dawson's faction who had entered the mansion.

"Another top-tier knight?! Krupp doesn't have that kind of power! Leylin! You're Leylin's men!"

Muni spoke with absolute certainty.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Call in a large army to help us, otherwise we are no match for Krupp's forces."

Tang Zhe dodged continuously, shouting loudly.

His high profile naturally attracted the attention of Hel.

Soon, knights, working in coordination with Kidd, arrived in a fierce attack.

News of Leylin's knights appearing in Carol City spread quickly, even alarming Dawson, who was in the lord's manor.

Knowing that many of Leylin's men were at Viscount Krupp's mansion, Dawson was not surprised but rather pleased.

"It seems Leylin values ​​his grandfather quite a bit, having even assigned elite troops specifically to protect his safety. Men, come here..."

With a command from Earl Dawson, the army assembled, seemingly intending to take advantage of Lin Meng's split into two groups and completely swallow one of them, thus greatly weakening his power.

……

Just as Earl Dawson was gathering his army to head to Viscount Krupp's mansion...

Outside Carroll, Linmon's army quickly appeared, causing panic on the city walls.

"Enemy attack!"

"Quickly! Open the city gates!"

"Notify the city lord, enemies are attacking!"

Various shouts and the ringing of bells echoed throughout the city of Carroll.

Due to an order from Earl Dawson, many of the guards at the city gates were transferred to Viscount Krupp's mansion, resulting in the number of soldiers guarding the city being less than half of the usual number.

"It seems Kidd and his men have already begun engaging Count Dawson's elite troops. They've drawn a lot of firepower; next..."

Lin Meng looked at the city wall that was more than ten meters high in front of him, burst out with strength, and strode towards the city wall. In addition to the long sword hanging at his waist, he also held two long spears.

"Whoosh!"

When the two were still dozens of meters away from the city wall, he threw a long spear with force, which was driven into the city wall. Then, he threw the spear again.

With the two long spears placed one above the other, the height that was previously impossible to climb instantly on the wall now had something to leverage.

"Fire the arrows! Fire them now!"

The soldiers patrolling the city walls spotted Lin Meng running rapidly toward the walls and someone immediately shouted.

In an instant, a sparse barrage of arrows rained down.

pity……

They were completely unable to overcome Lin Meng's life force field.

In addition, he was extremely fast at the moment. After blocking the first wave of arrows, he leaped up and used the nailed spears for leverage to fly up the city wall.

"Kill him! Kill him now!"

The general defending the city shouted.

Lin Meng drew his longsword from his waist, unleashing his life force field. Ignoring arrows and ordinary sword strikes, he charged straight at the city gate general.

The whole process was chaotic and reckless.

None of the soldiers who stood in his way could withstand a single blow.

Wherever the sword light shone, the ordinary soldiers were either killed upon contact or injured upon being touched.

"Great Knight! You are Leylin!"

The defending general cried out in terror.

Facing the renowned Lin Meng, he, being only a novice knight, had no courage to fight back. To save his life, he turned and ran without hesitation.

Lin Meng strode forward, cutting a bloody path through the crowd, and in an instant caught up with the city's defending general, killing him with a single sword strike.

At this moment, the knights who had come with Lin Meng also rushed up the city wall, causing chaos on the wall.

After a brief charge, Lin Meng arrived at the city gate.

"drink!"

With a burst of power, he swung his longsword down, striking the wooden bolt on the city gate and cleaving it in two.

"Boom!"

The city gate, which was not yet fully hoisted, crashed down with a loud bang, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Rush!"

Harvey, who was in charge, gave the order.

A thousand light cavalrymen, fully prepared outside the city gate, instantly rode into the city. Their hooves thundered, and any soldiers who dared to stop them were knocked away, killed, or trampled to pieces.

"The army of Solent has stormed in! The army of Solent has stormed in!"

Seeing that the city gates had fallen, the remaining soldiers instantly lost their courage to fight back and screamed in terror.

At this point, the soldiers that Krupp had placed among the garrison began to rally the troops, spreading the word everywhere: "Don't panic, don't panic! Carol City has fallen, and the defeat of Earl Dawson is irreversible. Viscount Krupp is a relative of Lord Leylin. As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, and are loyal to the Krupp family and Lord Leylin, you can ensure that your families live in peace."

Under this shout, the already weak-willed defenders immediately collapsed.

Along the way, Lin Meng's light cavalry were responsible for breaking through enemy lines and charging forward, while the personnel arranged in advance by Viscount Krupp were responsible for gathering the scattered surrendered soldiers.

With the prestige Viscount Krupp had cultivated in Carroll over the years, and Leylin's reputation for countless victories, subduing these defeated soldiers would be much easier.

As for those die-hard loyalists of Earl Dawson...

Anyone who dared to resist was invariably met with a thousand elite soldiers charging and killing them.

……

At that moment, Count Dawson, having received orders, was leading his elite troops to reinforce the city gate.

Before he could reach the city gate, a guard's voice came from afar: "Report, sir, the west city has fallen. Leylin personally led countless light cavalry, with the Silver Knights as the vanguard, to break through the city gate and is now heading towards the lord's mansion. The city defense knights have organized several waves of men to stop them, but without exception, they have all been broken through."

"The city has fallen?! It fell so quickly?! How is that possible?!"

Earl Dawson swayed, seemingly unable to accept this fact.

"really."

Dennis felt a bitter taste in his mouth. When he received the news from Mooney and Tang Zhe that many of Leylin's powerful men were also at Viscount Krupp's mansion, he had already suspected that Lin Meng might launch a surprise attack on Carroll City.

only……

Earl Dawson didn't believe it and only wanted to wipe out the forces that Viscount Krupp and Linmon had separated.

I never expected this...
