Conrad stood quietly, looking solemnly at the conscripts who were being gathered in an orderly manner by the officers not far away.
He took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the tense atmosphere around him into his lungs, and then slowly exhaled. The foul air turned into a light white mist in the air and soon disappeared.
Then, he turned his head to look at Knight Hagen beside him, and nodded slightly, indicating that he should go on stage.
Knight Hagen understood, and he saw him take off the mask on his helmet with a neat movement, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes like hawks under the mask.
Then, he took a spiked mace and a specially reinforced kite-shaped shield from a respectful servant standing behind him.
After getting the weapon, Knight Hagen waved his hand without hesitation, and at the same time, he let out a deep and powerful roar from under his mask: "Let's go!"
As his order was issued, the mixed formation that had been sitting quietly on the ground to conserve its strength and had been ready for battle immediately stood up.
This team was composed of militia, guards and mercenaries. Although the members had different identities, they became comrades in arms at this time.
Knight Hagen walked in the front with steady and powerful steps, and several knight attendants followed closely on both sides of him. These young and brave attendants were all energetic and eager to try.
They wore exquisite chain mail and solid half-body plate armor on the outside. They held sharp daggers in their left hands and held heavy shields steadily in their right hands.
They vigilantly scanned the outer walls of the manor, not missing any slight movement.
The mixed formation members following Knight Hagen were holding all kinds of weapons, including long swords, short spears, battle axes, chain hammers, round shields, and oval shields.
They gritted their teeth, trying to suppress the fear that kept surging in their hearts, and took big steps to follow the team in front.
At the same time, the 200 conscripted archers who had temporarily stopped attacking because of the order were now in action again amid the officers' shouting.
They nervously pulled the bowstrings again, and the sharp arrows flashed coldly in the sun, and the arrowheads were aimed directly at the enemy approaching the manor.
"Shoot!"
With the roar of the officers, the rain of arrows shot out again, and after passing dozens of steps in the air, they fell on the wall of the manor.
"Duoduoduo..."
A dense and rapid sound sounded, and one sharp arrow after another poured down like raindrops.
It was nailed hard on the solid wooden wall, and on the thick shield, there were dull and continuous impact sounds, as if the drums of death were constantly beating.
At the same time, the screams of robbers and lawless people could be heard from the bottom of the wall from time to time. Obviously, some of them were unfortunately hit by the flying arrows.
Hod held a round shield picked up from the battlefield tightly in both hands, raised it high and held it above his head.
Beside him, the four robber leaders including Nott raised their iron-clad round shields above their heads, closely connected, forming an indestructible protective barrier, completely covering Hod's entire body.
In this way, the round shield that Hod originally held in his hand seemed a little redundant and embarrassing.
However, Hod seemed to be unaware of this. His sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes, like a hawk, passed through the gap in the shield in front of him, staring at the group of soldiers who were slowly approaching them.
The enemy troops that launched the attack this time were different from the town conscripts that they had encountered before. Their weapons and equipment were obviously much better. Whether it was the weapons in their hands or the armor they wore, they all showed their uniqueness.
Moreover, compared with the conscripts that were easily repelled before, each of these new enemy troops was relatively strong, with bulging muscles. Although their steps were slightly messy, they were extremely powerful.
"It seems that this time they are really coming. The guards and mercenaries have started to play!"
After thinking about it for a moment, Hod quickly made a decision.
He put away the round shield in his hand without hesitation, and then turned to Paul, who had been watching the battle below and had never participated in the battle, and shouted loudly: "Paul, bring those criminals up to join the battle!!!"
Paul, who was hiding under the shield, heard the words and immediately shouted to the criminals who were still avoiding the rain of arrows, and ordered them to climb the wall.
After hearing Paul's order, some criminals took a deep breath, and then ran towards the wall regardless of the arrows flying overhead. Others followed suit.
These criminalsAlthough the criminals were attacked by arrows several times in succession, they knew that once the enemy broke through the wall, all of them would be beheaded by the enemy and become the enemy's military merit.
Not only that, after Hood and others successfully repelled the first wave of conscripts that came like a tide, the criminals who had been watching from below became excited, and their originally low morale was ignited and rose sharply.
At this moment, when they heard that they needed to stand up and contribute their strength, everyone held the various weapons in their hands without hesitation and chose to join this fierce battle.
You know, this group of criminals has just experienced several rounds of ruthless baptism of arrow rain. Although the casualties are not heavy, the number of survivors has been greatly reduced.
Roughly estimated, there are only about 60 to 70 criminals who can continue to participate in the war at this moment.
However, even though the number of people dropped suddenly, when they swarmed up the wall, which was not wide to begin with, the whole scene still seemed extremely crowded.
However, facing such a cramped situation, everyone present seemed to have no time to care.
Everyone's nerves were as tight as a fully drawn bowstring, and all eyes were staring at the front with vigilance, ready to face the upcoming battle at any time.
Standing in the crowd, Hood looked at the criminals who had just climbed the wall. Suddenly, he turned around and whispered to a robber leader.
The two of them came together, and Hood whispered a few words to the robber leader in a low voice. The robber leader listened and nodded to show that he understood.
Then, the robber leader quickly took steps and rushed in the direction of the other robbers.
Not long after, the number of robbers who were originally standing densely on the wall began to decrease one after another. At this time, the criminals who were concentrating and highly nervous were completely immersed in the state of preparation for battle and did not notice this quiet change at all.
