The sun was almost setting, and the battle that had been going on for almost a whole day was still going on.

Although the situation is once again extremely bad for the defender, for the attacker, things are actually not going very well either.

The peasants who were used as slave labor bit back, causing huge casualties to the Roman soldiers.

Out of the consideration of squeezing their last value, and also because these peasants no longer had the courage to resist after losing the encouragement of Gulamba, Ladislaus did not execute them.

Ladislaus announced to the peasants who were kneeling in the blood of their dead comrades that if the castle could not be breached today, they would all be executed for rebellion and their families would be sold to the Black Continent.

Of course, not only the civilians, but the Roman soldiers who behaved poorly were also asked to pile dirt together under the sunset.

Now there are less than half of the civilians left, just over two hundred, and they are undoubtedly in a desperate mood. Even if the rioting civilians were promised mercy when they surrendered, there are countless examples of them all being hanged after being dispersed and unable to resist.

enumerate.

Of course, the common people do not have this kind of knowledge, but although most of them have little knowledge, they have been charged various inexplicable taxes, and have seen the noble master break his promise and get fat countless times, so they all know that it is impossible to say whether the noble master will abide by his oath.

thing.

In fact, the wisest thing for Ladislaus to do at this time was to withdraw his troops and return to camp to end this bad day.

It is actually difficult for the civilians who have just resisted once to continue to drive. It may be safer to escort them all back to the camp and then sell them to the Black Continent en masse.

Now, it is actually very risky to mix civilians and Roman soldiers together to pile dirt. After all, they were fighting each other just now. The Roman soldiers escaped quickly enough and not many people were killed, so the Roman soldiers who worked together basically just used

The beatings were used to vent the dissatisfaction of being scolded and insulted by Ladislaus, without harming the civilian husband who was already bruised and bruised.

Of course, even if they wanted to do that, the "hand-and-half-sword" mercenaries ordered by Ladislaus would not agree.

Different from the scolding and beatings in the last fight, this time they only needed to stare fiercely at the incompetent Roman soldiers with their weapons.

Combat power is the power of speech. The "hand-and-half-sword" mercenary who once only had a second-class citizen status in front of the Roman army won respect for himself with the sword in his hand.

Ladislaus was no longer polite to the Roman soldiers. Even if the archers on the castle kept shooting and harassing them while they were working, anyone who dared to escape without throwing the soil bag in the right place, whether it was a civilian or a Roman soldier,

All were executed immediately.

After beheading the three cowards, few of the Roman soldiers dared to look at the blood-covered mercenaries, and all of them were doing the same work as civilians.

In fact, the archers on the city could not cause much damage to the Roman soldiers who were protected by leather helmets unless they hit the face directly. Those who were indeed injured by the arrows were allowed to retreat to the back to rest, since the civilians would resist.

Of course, Ladislaus did not want to arouse too much anger among the Roman soldiers. After all, some people failed more than succeeded.

However, there will be no healing magic. The priest's remaining magic spells will be used to support the final battle.

Most of the project was completed before the civilians resisted, so under Machiavelli's repeated urging, the mound finally reached the edge of the castle before the sun completely set.

Knight Reinhardt, who had been waiting at the edge of the city wall for a long time, rushed out with his remaining men and launched a counterattack.

Although he killed and injured more than a dozen Roman soldiers and civilians, Ladislaus was convinced that it was of no use. The stone-flesh puppets that were so threatening just now did indeed disappear with the earth-yellow light. Several of the warriors who attacked

They were obviously wounded, as were the Reinhardt Knights themselves. They no longer had the agility they had when they received the grace of the Lord of the Earth.

Mrs. Reinhardt also understands this. The pious lady has left the city wall and returned to the room where she usually prays to the Lord of the Earth. She is only a first-level priest and has used all her magic on Reinhardt.

As for the knight, the invader still refused to retreat after being so severely wounded, and her own side had reached its limit. The little magic she could provide could only allow her husband to fight and die with dignity.

Perhaps because she did not want to see her husband's blood spilled on the battlefield, Mrs. Reinhardt and her maid returned to the quiet room where she usually prayed to the Lord of the Earth.

Although Ladislaus had just made it sound like he was here to rob this wife when he was trying to improve his morale, in fact he was more concerned about power and wealth.

He decided to risk Yaishi himself again and launch a decisive attack with two hundred "half-hand sword" mercenaries.

But before that, he decided to declare the justice of this battle and boost his morale.

"Gentlemen, today you have proved yourself to be brave warriors with glorious victory and fearless sacrifice. Your noble behavior should be rewarded. I assure you that victory is already in front of you. Your enemy has been weakened to the extreme.

But they are still crazy

Want to prevent you from enjoying the wealth and women that you fully deserve because of your bravery and fearlessness, but they shamelessly insult your bloodshed and destroy your power, please tell me, you

Can such shameless behavior be tolerated?”

The robbers were incited to shout: "Never tolerate it! Never tolerate it! Shameless! Shameless!"

Kessell Weiting looked at his subordinates and admired in his heart, shameless, really shameless, much more shameless than bandits, worthy of being a top noble.

The mercenaries, enraged by the enemy's "shamelessness" in defending their homeland and not allowing them to rob money and ravage their wives and daughters, rushed towards the mound under the command of Ladislaus.

Those archers were basically useless in the face of this determined charge.

Knight Reinhard's efforts to block the attackers on the city wall were completely ineffective, just like last time, although the German warriors from Cologne with him as the core stood their ground, even though many of them were already injured.

But the local militiamen who were almost uninjured quickly collapsed, even faster than the last time. The sight of gaining and then losing divine favor was really shocking.

They just want to escape home quickly and place their hope on the mercy of their enemies.

Although Knight Reinhardt and his loyal men continued to fight, he was really helpless in the face of an influx of enemies that were ten times more numerous.

Ladislaus didn't cast a single spell at all, and the battle had basically subsided. You must know that he even drank a bottle of Eagle's Glory potion.

This was indeed more of a contest of determination. When Ladislaus made up his mind not to retreat, the outcome was doomed.

Knight Reinhard died gloriously in battle. He was besieged by Kessell Witting and Old John. After struggling for a few minutes, he was stabbed into the carotid artery by Boss Sirica's dagger from behind, ending his life.

It can be said that he lived a glorious life.
