Chapter 360 - the Powerful Infantrymen



Chapter 360: the Powerful Infantrymen

However, before the gates of the urn city could be opened, the skeleton warriors on the ramps still needed to be cleaned up.

With a slight frown, Kant turned his head and glanced at the towers on both sides. He ordered, “Mage apprentices, use all your strength to cast fireballs. Clean up the area under the ramps so that it is convenient for the troops to enter and exit!”

“Yes!” A messenger immediately received the order and left.

Soon, four mage apprentices appeared on the tower. They raised their staffs and pointed downwards.

As the slightly scorching fireballs burned down, the entire ramp instantly exploded into balls of fire dragons. They whistled and released an infinite amount of heat waves, swallowing the hundreds of skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers!

The flames burned most of the skeletons, and the scorching fire elements directly corroded the soul fire in the skulls.

In the end, everything calmed down.

The entire slope was only left with a grayish-black smoke.

The countless skeleton warriors behind them did not care at all. They still held their rotten weapons and rushed forward. Obviously, this was not the first time they had seen such a scene. It was not the first time the fireball spell cleared the slope.

However, this fireball spell did not end after it exploded.

The mage apprentices on the tower continued to cast their spells.

Another fireball spell rushed down, but it exploded at the bottom of the slope. The surging fire dragons not only destroyed any skeletons that dared to approach, they also pushed the skeleton warriors that continued to rush over from behind, causing them to fall to the ground!

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh –”

Veruga marksman had already launched their accurate rapid fire.

Cone arrows poured down like a torrential rain on the 5-meter wide and 20-meter long slope, directly blasting away the surviving skeleton warriors’ heads, completely clearing up the slope.

For a top-notch marksman, this was simply a piece of cake.

“Now.”

Kant’s eyes flashed.

He waved his hand forward and ordered in a deep voice, “Open the city gate!”

“Open the city gate!”

Following that, the soldiers in charge of the city gate began to move.

The winch of the iron gate pulled the thick hemp rope and pulled the heavy cast iron gate up. All three bolts on the heavy wooden gate at the bottom were lifted, completely opening the three-meter wide city gate.

Bandake wore chain armor and stood at the front of the orderly formation of Swadian footman.

He was the general who led the troops to attack this time.

“Attack!”

Bandake was the first to take a step forward.

Behind him, the 1,000 Swadian footman formed a five-team formation. They immediately followed up and slowly pushed forward. Both of their hands gripped the standard lance tightly, forming a dense phalanx of long spears.

Especially the light footman at the front. He placed his spear horizontally, and with a step, he pushed forward with his spear.

The tip of the spear was still shining with a cold light under the golden light above their heads.

Facing the skeleton warriors who were temporarily blocked by the crossbowmen and were unable to successfully step onto the ramp, the light footmen crossed the city gate and finally arrived. Their walked faster and faster.

“Stop shooting!”

Kant stretched out his hand and clenched his fist.

The desert bandits at the side all shouted at the same time and quickly passed down the order.

The light infantry soldiers had already entered the ramp and were about to reach the bottom. If they continued shooting, they might accidentally injure their own side. This was because the group of skeleton soldiers sensed that there was finally a human army attacking, and they were all boiling with excitement!

A silent roar sounded out, and the crisp sound of bones colliding with each other reverberated through space.

The soul fire flickered in their eyes.

The rotten halberd and longsword were already tightly gripped by the bones in their hands, and they quickly moved forward, slashing towards the human infantrymen who were also charging towards them. The two sides collided heavily!

“Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka –”

The sound of bones breaking could be heard continuously.

The skeleton warriors on the top floor had not even managed to slash their long halberd. The Swadian footman that were lined up in front of them had already gripped their long spears tightly with both hands, thrusting them down heavily.

The long halberd that intersected with each other instantly broke apart. Even the once magnificent and sturdy ancient armor was directly shattered.

The body that was made up of bones was also pierced through.

To the skeleton warriors that were not made of flesh and blood, although this was not considered a fatal injury, but the Swadian footman’s spears instantly shattered their ursturdy structures into pieces, and they turned into a pile of useless bones!

There were even some who had their skulls pierced through by the spear. The soul fire within was completely shattered, allowing the undead to re-enter a state of eternal slumber.

“Kill!”

Bandake’s attack was even simpler.

He only waved the knight’s sword in his hand, and the blade that was imbued with the power of the underworld easily sliced through the fragile bones, eventually corroding the soul fire within the skull, allowing the undead to return to decaying.

This was not the time to go all out. Teams of Swadian footman rushed down, surrounding the slope to establish a defensive line.

The sturdy fan shield was already placed on his left hand.

It was now a chaotic battle.

The effect of a spear was actually not as good as a spatha sword that could be swung.

And this spatha sword had a shorter attack range, which was equivalent to a shortsword. However, in this chaotic battle environment, it could be swung at a faster frequency, allowing the sharp blade to cut through the rotten weapons and armor, tearing apart the outer shell of the skeleton warriors!

“Immediately arrange for five mage apprentices to enter the battlefield and cast status-type spells!”

On the city wall, Kant gave the order.

Soon, the five mage apprentices who were transferred from the other city walls quickly arrived at the battlefield along with the opening of the urn city gate.

“Sharp metal spell!”

This was the spell they cast.

The front row of the Swadian footman received this spell. As the golden light gathered on the blade of the teutonic sword in their hands, their slashing became easier, and the destructive power they caused was even more terrifying!

Even the skulls of the skeleton warriors could be cut in one strike, just like the sharpest longsword!

“For Lord Kant! For Swadian!”

The light footmen who witnessed the power of the spell cried out.

They lined up neatly in a semicircle. The formation was four layers thick. They faced the attack of the group of skeleton warriors together. However, at their feet, bones had already piled up.

A large number of skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers were basically cannon fodder, posing no threat to these light infantrymen.

Even if they could use their weapons to hack at these infantrymen, it would not do.

A rotten longsword or halberd would not be able to cut through the mail armor that had passed through the kingdom of Swadia and was strictly supervised. Usually, even if these rotten weapons broke themselves, they would only leave a small mark on the mail armor, and tear apart the linen robe that they were wearing.

However, every time the light infantrymen swung their Germanic swords, the undead skeletons, be it the stronger skeleton warriors or the weaker skeleton soldiers, would be chopped into a pile of broken bones.

Not to mention the heater shield.

Raising their shields to withstand the more fatal attacks, they were even pushing forward.

They moved forward step by step, bypassing the bones that were as deep as their calves. They hacked at the skeletons, turning them into broken pieces. Then, they went from four layers to three layers, or even two layers. They actually managed to kill their way out.

And they even withstood the attacks of the numerous skeletons!

“Very good.”

Kant saw it clearly from the top of the city wall.

Below, the ramps outside the urn city gate had already been cleared out into a large area.

Those light infantrymen were like embankments, protecting the fertile fields in the lowlands. They forcefully blocked the waves formed by the skeletons outside, ensuring their safety.

However, the distance that these light infantrymen had extended to had already reached its limit.

Forming two layers side by side was their limit.

The danger of having only one layer of the defensive was too great. If the skeletons broke through at a certain point, it would mean that the entire defensive line had been broken through. Everyone would be met with misfortune. At that time, if they were to retreat in an emergency, it might even turn into a run-away scene!

Even now, they had already sensed the limits of their advancement and began to retreat slowly.

Bandake also ordered them to retreat.

Some of the light infantrymen in the front row were slightly injured, and there were quite a number of them.

After all, there were a lot of skeletons, and they came one after another. No matter what, they could still cause some pain to the exposed skin of the light infantrymen, or even slightly pierce through the mail armor, causing superficial injuries.

In the end, the light infantrymen retreated and once again faced the enemy in a four-layered formation.

Those who were injured rested and healed at the back.

After some simple bandaging and ensuring that their stamina had recovered, they continued to push forward to the front line and fought with all their might.

As for the light infantrymen who had already exhausted their stamina, they would come to the back to rest at this time. If anyone was injured, they would also carry out simple bandaging to ensure that no one would be injured to the point where their life would be threatened.

Moreover, there were mage apprentices. Every time they cast a sharp golden blade, it could last for 20 minutes.

Each person would do it twice a day.

This also happened to be the time for the front and back rows to rotate.

As long as the front row could not hold on any longer, the back row would use the Germanic sword that was reinforced with a sharp golden blade to push forward. They would quickly clean up the weak skeletons and let their companions retreat to the back to rest.

They fought for an hour in front of the ramp, and the number of skeletons piled up was too many.

They even raised the ground!

The light Infantry’s defensive line was still not broken through.

“It’s about time.”

Kant narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the formation below that was already beginning to shake. He ordered in a deep voice, “Open the city gates, let the heavy cavalry go down and fight on foot. Cover the light infantry and retreat!”

“Yes!” The desert bandits answered and immediately left to convey the order.

Very quickly, 300 heavy cavalry soldiers lined up with shields.

Holding longsword in hand, they quickly walked down the slope and stood in front of the light infantry. They even cut down the skeletons that were swarming over, turning the undead into bones again.

However, this time, they were not advancing, but retreating.

The light infantry supported each other and quickly returned. Under the cover of the heavy cavalry, they easily returned to the inner side of the urn city.

The heavy cavalry also retreated step by step, stabilizing their formation. They retreated back on the ramps and finally returned to the city gates, to the protection of the city.

“Close the city gates!”

Kant ordered.

The cast iron gate that was originally bound by the winch and hung at the top of the city gates was instantly lowered. The heavy iron gate smashed against the city gates, shattering the skeleton warriors that were still rushing over and blocking them out.

However, there were still over 20 skeleton warriors that rushed over.

But the heavy cavalry at the back easily chopped off their skulls with a swing of their sword, scattering them into piles of broken bones that were stacked in front of the city gate.
