Time flew by. Like an ominous storm, a cruel battle was about to happen.
The enemies on the other side of the Zuli River seemed to finish getting into position. The siege was going to start soon. Brook began directing the soldiers to set up defense tools and mechanisms. The average young adults came onto defensive walls to help out with some simple and crude tools, such as wooden sticks and chopping axes.
However, the defensive power was still not enough. There were less than 400 soldiers from the King’s Guards due to injuries and wounds and about 1,000 young adults who were just recruited with no military training. A total of less than 1,500 manpower was the strongest defense power Chambord could pull together.
This force was way too weak compared with the 2,000 well trained enemies.
Fortunately, Chambord had a ton of advantages due to terrain. But even under that advantage, Chambord’s situation was still not optimistic.
A powerful warrior or mage was very important to wars on Azeroth continent. If enemies had one or two more fighters like Landes, then Chambord would be doomed.
Fei was extremely concerned about this.
The sun started to rise and the atmosphere was getting tense.
There seemed to be an invisible fire in the air. Most people felt a burning sensation in their chest every time they breathed.
Fei stood beside the watchtower and waited for the battle to arrive.
‘Fatty’ Gill was not too far away from Fei. His legs were shaking heavily from fear. The bloodiness of war had terrified this spoiled young master and his head went blank. Fortunately, Bazzer had sent a few loyal guards of his to protect Gill, or Gill would’ve already fainted.
What surprised Fei was that according to Brook, this red robed bastard didn’t have any battle abilities. That’s why Fei didn’t pay attention to him after dealing with Conca and Oleg. Fei thought that he would escape from the defensive wall, but who knew that he walked onto the wall and stood beside his son.
“This tricky fox really cares about his son, huh? He does have some humanity…… unexpected……”
Fei looked at Bazzer, but he didn’t say anything. Everyone was waiting for the battle to begin.
On the other side of the moat.
The enemies had formed ten square formations. They approached Chambord step by step. Blades and lances shined under the sun.
On the defensive wall, it was quiet. Everyone could hear their own heart pumping.
Some of the new recruits’ legs started to shake as well. Their hands were sweating like crazy; they almost couldn’t hold onto their weapons anymore. A bloody battle was about to begin, and no one knew if they are able to survive this battle. But for their families, they couldn’t back off.
“Tap, tap, tap, tap —-“
The enemies marched in unison. Like a black flood, they approached Chambord Castle slowly and steadily with a ton of pressure. Like drumsticks hitting the drum, the sounds hit the soldiers’ heart. It became faster and faster, stifling everyone on the defensive wall.
The enemies at the front were positioned in a tower shield formation.
