Chapter 81 Little Man Roy

"Brothers, you are also soldiers of the Holy Empire. There is no future for following the traitor to rebel. Wake up quickly and kill the culprit Paulson. You will be forgiven by God!" A soldier shouted on the tower.

Relying on the strong wall, Keding, the capital of Zoe Province, under the leadership of the local supreme minister and priest Roy, hopes to prevent the army of Ansi Province from entering the city. They closed the city gate, let the security team and the city guard defend, and mobilized some civilians to help defend the city.

"Your Excellency, we can't delay here. Let's attack the city." Taylor suggested to Paulson.

Paulson looked at Taylor in front of him, looked at the neat army phalanx not far away, then looked at the opposite wall and ordered, "Okay, General Taylor, order the soldiers to attack the city."

"Shield soldiers are ready! The whole army is moving forward!" Taylor immediately ordered loudly, and the messenger rushed out. Then, the drums in the army began to sound, the horns sounded one after another, and an order sounded, and teams of soldiers with shields and daggers began to move forward.

Above the wall, the captain of the city guard saw that the attacking army was preparing to attack, walked to Pastor Roy and said loudly, "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, the enemy has attacked the city. I think we should start to fight back."

"These bastards, they really rebelled." Pastor Roy cursed loudly, but his slightly trembling voice showed his nervousness. He looked at the captain of the city guard and said, "Order the soldiers to fight back!"

"Archer, get ready to release arrows." The captain of the city guard gave an order loudly, paused, and immediately shouted, "Fight arrows!"

In an instant, hundreds of arrows flew down the city wall and flew towards the phalanx of the moving army under the city. The siege army under the city panicked.

"Defense." An officer began to shout: "The bow and arrow are coming, and the shield is held high!" Don't move! Don't move!" Soon the phalanx that attacked the city held its shield high and slowly continued to approach the city wall.

"Continue to shoot arrows and send these traitors to hell! Attack!" Seeing that the siege army did not retreat, Pastor Roy shouted loudly. A rain of arrows attacked, accompanied by the jingling sound of hitting the shield, and a scream came from time to time.

"We have entered the range, and the archers can fight back." A small officer ran to Paulson's temporary command post.

"Let the standby shield soldier protect the archer to move forward. After entering the range, there is no need to wait for orders to attack directly." Paulson looked at the map without saying anything. Taylor waited for a while and found that he still had no intention of speaking, so he issued his own order.

Soon, the shooting between the archers began, and the screams began to increase, gradually becoming one piece from an occasional sound. The number of bows and arrows in the city is getting smaller and smaller, and finally it has almost stopped. Hundreds of archers have been killed, and the rest have hidden and retained their strength.

"The shield soldiers have attacked to protect the archers, attracting most of the bow and arrow firepower. The enemy's archers were suppressed. The messengers on the front line came back to report again.

"Very good, order the long ladder troops to attack." Paulson finally spoke, and he ordered loudly.

"Prepare for the siege ladder, attack!" In Paulson's army, orders began to sound over and over again, and rows of soldiers carried the long siege ladder and rushed to the wall of the city without hesitation.

"Your Excellency, it's not good. They have begun to use the ladder to attack the city." A panicked city guard ran to Pastor Roy and reported loudly.

"What should we do?" Pastor Roy looked at the captain of the city guard.

"We use magicians to deal with those ladders. Aren't there a few magicians in the city? The captain was also in a hurry and rushed to the hospital, so he suggested casually.

"Yes, hurry up and gather those magicians on the wall and attack those hateful ladders." Roy seemed to have caught a life-saving straw.

"Upright the ladder, build the wall, and attack!" With a shout, the soldiers below attacked more and more fiercely.

"Throw down the bodies and broken stones and kill these bitches." I don't know who shouted, and the people in the city began to fight back with everything they could. As more and more soldiers piled up under the city, the soldiers in the city began to smash almost everything they could find.

"There is a magician on the enemy's wall. Is our magician going to go out?" Taylor took a look at the fighting on the wall and suggested to Paulson.

"Well, order the magician to aim at the enemy's walls and attack!" Paulson also looked at the wall and said.

"Magic attack preparation, target the opponent's wall." A few magicians began to prepare their magic. They first spread a large magic array scroll on the ground, and then began to release their magic. A leader-like magician next to them read the magic spell loudly, and finally ordered: "The magic array began to increase, and the crystal energy was released and attack! " In Paulson's army's array, several eye-catching light blue lights shone, and then the walls of Kesting were attacked by several fireballs. On the wall section of the city, the soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties.

The tower began to be filled with the smell of barbecue, accompanied by the burnt corpse, but it was disgusting. Captain Chen Weibing loudly advised Pastor Roy: "Your Excellency, this place is too dangerous. Hurry up and leave it to us."

"I want to be with you, and God will bless us. Even if we die in battle, we can live forever in God's world! Keep it for me!" As a standard magic stick, Roy's own loyalty to the Holy Empire is unquestionable. He is just nervous but not timid at all.

"Your Excellency, the 7th Infantry Corps has attacked the western wall and is expanding its results." In Paulson's army, a messenger reported to General Paulson that it seemed that the city of Cestine could not be defended this afternoon.

"Very well, the resistance of the southern wall is relatively fierce. Tell the legion commanders in other directions to hurry up. We are going to the city to rest this afternoon!"

"Yes, my lord." The messenger retreated.

"Use crossbow cannons to attack the defenders in the city. We will enter the city this afternoon and stop playing with the loyal dogs of the sacred empire and attack!" A general ordered loudly.

At noon that day, Paulson's army attacked the west and east gates of the city and launched a fierce street battle with the defenders in the city.

That afternoon, Taylor led his army to capture the south gate of the city of Keding. Pastor Roy died in battle, and the defenders began to collapse.

Later, Paulson's army completely occupied Kesting, and the remaining defenders surrendered. 1,000 former city guards and security forces, 2,000 civilians recruited, regular army soldiers*, a total of 3,500 defenders, and 2193 killed.

A few years later, the Holy Empire learned that this battle posthumously appointed Pastor Roy as the imperial bishop.
