It was nearly dark, and the peaks on both sides of the valley, like the arms of giants, began to show a ferocious appearance before the night came.
On the city wall, pots of jumping bonfires shine around like day. The soldiers did not take turns to rest as usual. All the archers, whether knights or mercenaries, civilians or serfs, were called here.
Holding bows and arrows, they stood still and looked ahead. At their feet were filled with arrow pots filled with feather arrows. Except for the crackle of the campfire, everything was quiet and suffocating.
Damon Bilson stood on the crenel of the horse face of the city wall, staring at the valley illuminated by the fire ahead.
"What do these guys want to do!" Rowell said impatiently.
Two or three hours ago, the wild people stopped cleaning up the rubble and began to light a bonfire in the valley to prepare for a night battle.
But after such a long time, those guys did not move forward except to make the valley a sea of fire, and the distance was just outside the range of the riprap machine.
And they stood on the wall for several hours.
Suddenly, under everyone''s eyes, in the valley reflected by the campfire, more than 20 giants lined up, holding huge boards like shields, and walked to the front of the team.
"What do they want to do? Are they ready to charge!" Lowell said nervously.
"Get the riprap ready! Use fire bullets!" ordered Damon Bilson.
Although the wild people still have a long distance from them, he is sure that the guy opposite will attack immediately.
The two flag soldiers immediately sounded the flag. Next to the camp, the knight in charge of issuing the order immediately shouted, "fire bomb preparation!"
The soldier in charge of operating the riprap machine immediately poured fire oil on the rolling stone, pinched the torch and waited for the launch order.
"At such a distance, the range of the wild people''s riprap machine is not enough!" Lowell said.
"It''s not a riprap truck," said Damon Bilson. "It must be another way to attack!"
As time went by, the wild people in the valley were busy and seemed to be transporting something. All the giants also stood in front of the team. They were all wearing huge simple helmets and heavy leather armor. They were lined up in three long lines, looking like they would attack at any time.
All the soldiers on the wall looked at the tall figure in front of them. One hand had been extended to the feather arrow at their feet, and the atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme.
"Rush!!!"
A giant roar resounded through the valley, like the roar of a giant beast, and all the giants immediately ran towards the wall in front. Those barricade like rocks were as insignificant as bricks and stones at their feet under their nearly twenty feet.
At the same time, Damon Bilson gave the order to launch. Eight fireballs rushed into the dark sky from behind the city wall, like meteorites falling from the sky into the valley in front.
But the giant ran so fast that before the fireball fell, they were close to the wall, and the distance between the two sides was only 60 or 70 meters.
"Archers attack!!"
At the moment when the giant ran, the vassals immediately issued an order. The archers who had been ready for a long time immediately drew out the oil soaked feather arrows.
Almost at the moment when the giant just stood, countless sparks flew out of the city wall and nailed to the giant''s huge wooden shield.
"Bang!"
Just as Damon Bilson was watching the movement of the wild people, there was a sound of broken bricks on the side of the wall. He turned his head fiercely and saw a small tree like stick firmly inserted on the wall.
Javelin!
The giant is throwing javelin!
He suddenly thought of the giant''s attack.
"Ah!!"
At the same time, two screams sounded at the same time. The javelin thrown by the giant directly strung the two soldiers together, and the strong inertia pushed them to the back of the city wall.
When Damon Bilson looked around, they had fallen into a pool of blood, their legs and feet twitched and there was no sound.
This terrible and bloody scene greatly shocked the people. Several soldiers who had previously stood beside them all squatted down and hid under the city wall.
"Sir, it''s too dangerous here!" the bodyguard on one side immediately warned.
Damon Bilson stared at the wooden shield full of rockets in front, immediately rushed to the knight behind him and ordered: "let them stop shooting indiscriminately, instead shoot and attack the giant behind! The riprap machine fired continuously to prevent the wild people behind the giant from approaching forward!"
"Yes!" the two knights took orders and ran towards both ends of the wall, shouting orders.
Squatting down and looking through the wall crevasse, Damon Bilson closely watched the situation in the valley.
"The giant is not the main force of the wild people''s attack!" he said loudly. "Although the javelin thrown by these guys is powerful, the number is limited. It seems that there are only more than 60 people, and it can''t cause much damage. Let''s pay attention to avoid being strung into meat strings!"
"Yes!" the two knights immediately sent their instructions.
Damon Bilson smiled cruelly as he watched the chaos behind the giant, which was hit by a riprap machine, and the wild people who were constantly hit by feather arrows.
He was right in his judgment. The giant''s attack was just to attract their attention. The real purpose of the other party was to clean up the road in the rear.
"These guys must want to clear the rubble and pull the riprap truck within range, or they want to push under the wall in this way!"
Damon Bilson knows very well that only a large number of wild people are the only main force of the attack, and if you want to keep the fortress, you must prevent the wild people from approaching the wall.
Staring at the huge shield full of rockets in front of him, Lowell cursed: "these damn wild people seem to have become smarter! Unfortunately, the time is too short, otherwise we can build more riprap machines! These bastards can''t get close to the wall!"
Listening to Lowell''s words, Damon Bilson scolded angrily: "if you blame the priests, they let your soldiers betray. If these guys are really smart enough, we all have to die in bed!"
Holding the hilt of the sword, Lowell said angrily: "when we beat back these guys in front of us, we will immediately fall to the south. This revenge will be recovered from the flavy family sooner or later!"
Damon Bilson was silent. As for the prime minister, Mond Flavi, and the true face of the God of light, when the war is over, he will naturally let all the eastern nobles know.
"Damn it, these giants are moving forward!" Lowell said aloud as he noticed the giants moving forward.
"They want the wild people behind to avoid the riprap!" Damon Bilson stood up and looked behind the giant, where a large group of wild people were moving forward to hide behind the giant.
"Longbowman, aim at the giant! The rest continue to shoot!"
