Chambord Castle.
Everyone's ears were filled with mournful screams and loud battle cries.
Both the attackers and the defenders were giving the battle everything they had. It was either you die, or I die.
Waves of enemies, who were wearing black light armour, were charging at the castle like a black tsunami. The three huge siege ladders were like war monsters; the barbs on the ladder hooked onto the edges of battlements, constantly sending more enemies to fight the defenders on the walls. The hooks made the siege ladders hard to get rid of, and squads of around 30 enemies were fighting aggressively to protect the ladders.
As time went on, more and more enemies had gotten onto the walls of the castle.
It was not a good situation for Chambord Castle; there were ten times more enemies than the Chambord soldiers.
"Pierce? Pierce... where are you? You son of a bitch!"
A huge six-foot-eight man, who had black hair and was wearing a vest of chainmail, turned back and yelled as he was slashing at an enemy.
"Pierce! Pick some big guys and get rid of those fucking ladders. Quick!"
"Yes, sir!"
Not too far away, white-haired Pierc was soaked in blood. It was already hard to tell what was his and what was from the enemies he had slain.
As he heard the command, he waved at a couple of soldiers close to him:
"Come on, guys, let's go! We have to kill those motherfuckers and smash those ladders!"
White-haired Pierce was known in Chambord for his brutal strength. As veins on his arms bulged, he started swinging his huge iron hammer that was the size of two basketballs. Like the legendary berserker, he cleared off enemies in his way as if they were flies. None of the enemies could stop him.
He was approaching the siege ladders fast, leaving behind him a road of death and blood. About twenty other soldiers followed him. They were committed to completing the mission.
The enemies that were defending the ladders had been alerted:
"Attention! Forward! Semi-Arc Formation!"
The leader of the enemy defense team yelled!
"Kata, kata, kata, kata!"
The thirtyish enemies had formed a half-circle beside the wall and protected the three siege ladders in the half-circle. With shark blades that were still dripping blood, pointing outwards, they were like a metal hedgehog, waiting for the attackers to make a mistake before capitalizing on it and finishing them off.
These enemies definitely had more training than the soldiers of Chambord.
Ten meters...
Six meters...
Three meters...
One meter...
The distance between the soldiers led by Pierce and the enemies was vanishing in seconds.
Finally——
"Hooo! Go to hell!"
Pierce suddenly yelled.
He gave the hammer a full swing, as if it were a javelin; the hammer flew out of his hands and flew toward the enemy's formation. It caused massive damage to the enemies. Spilled blood, broken blades, and limbs flew all over the place.
The enemies definitely weren't expecting that type of maneuver. The flying hammer had made a bloody gap in the center of the formation.
By destroying the three siege ladders, the enemies will have no way to get into Chambord Castle for now. After killing all the enemies that got on the defence wall, the defenders could finally get time to rest in safety. If not, the castle will be sieged, and all their friends and families will become war slaves, with no hope of freedom for generations.
After thinking about that, all the soldiers were motivated to defeat the enemies; their morale was so high that the blood in their bodies was almost burning. They couldn't allow the enemies to siege the castle. Even if they die, they weren't going to back off.
"Charge!!" "Charge!!!!!!!!"
The soldiers followed Pierce, furiously charging into the enemy. Pierce rushed ahead, picked up the hammer that he had thrown out before any enemies could react, and started smashing away. His powerful swings forced off all the close enemies, with the closest one not even having time to react before Pierce crushed his head. None of them could stop him.
"Smash! Crush!" "Bang!" "Clank!"
Weapons, armour, and bare knuckles were colliding. Spurting blood and detached limbs had painted the picture of hell.
"Boom!"
Pierce smashed the sword and the enemy in front of him off the castle. He looked up, and the ladder was right in front of him. He swung the hammer once more to back off from the approaching enemies.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
He sprinted forward and smashed all the hooks off one ladder. As he was about to kick it off the wall, suddenly——
"Die! Punk!"
A black shadow flew up the defence wall. The rapier this enemy was using went straight to Pierce's head. He was trying to instantly kill Pierce. There wasn't much time for Pierce to react. All he had time to do was position his hammer so that his head was protected. These couple of strikes all hit right in the center of the hammer and made some sparks. An unstoppable force passed through the hammer and shocked Pierce. Even though Pierce was born with an inhuman strength, he couldn't hold against it. The force pushed him back four steps. It also broke a couple of his fingers, and he almost couldn't hold on to the hammer anymore.
"Shit! A master!"
Pierce was surprised. However, this enemy stopped attacking him. As this enemy raised the rapier again, Pierce heard a ton of screams. The enemy was moving so fast that he turned into a black shadow again. The other soldiers who came with Pierce all fell on the ground. As he took a more detailed look, all of them had a hole in their heads. White, red liquids were flowing out; they were the brains.
"Bender! Bond! Tony... My brothers!!!"
Pierce cried.
He couldn't take what he saw, almost fainting from shock. His best friends, with whom he had been having fun last night at the bar, and who he had been trusting and loving a moment ago, had been killed right in front of him. He felt like the sky had fallen.
"Die! Demon!"
Pierce yelled.
He forgot about the wounds on his body. He stared at this enemy, gave up all attempts to defend himself, and charged ahead. This enemy had left more nasty wounds on Pierce's body, and Pierce couldn't even touch him. But Pierce didn't care, he just kept on swinging his hammer.
"Haha! That's no use!"
This enemy laughed. He sounded like a crow. The rapier was too fast, and this enemy was too strong. This enemy moved again; the rapier was aiming at Pierce's head again. Pierce tilted his body as if he was trying to dodge the strike, but the rapier went through his right shoulder easily. This enemy smiled disdainfully.Hee was going to pull out the rapier and end Pierce's life.
But —–
He was surprised to find out that he couldn't pull out the rapier anymore?!
Blood spurted out of Pierce's mouth. But this white-haired man started laughing. Laughing happily! This enemy didn't know what was going on, but he felt as though he had underestimated the enemy. But there was no time for him to react. Pierce grabbed the blade tightly with both hands, as if he didn't feel any pain. He left the rapier in his shoulder and slammed his body against his enemy. It took the rapier-wielding man by surprise,a nd he had to keep backing off. It only took them 3 seconds to reach the tip of the defence wall. If this enemy backed off any further, he would fall off this two-hundred-feet-high wall. Even though he was powerful, there was no way for him to stay alive after falling from such a height.
"Fuck!"
This enemy was furious; now he knew that this man wasn't trying to push him off the wall. The plan was to destroy the second siege ladder all along, and he was fooled! He struck with the rapier at Pierce with all he had. Pierce had fainted from all the wounds and blood loss.
"Shit! Be careful!"
Brook, the commander yelled anxiously.
There was nothing he could do; he was still in close combat with the other skillful enemy. This siege battle had been going on for almost the whole day.
There were some powerful individuals on Chambord's side, but they had been focused on by the enemy commander. Even the three-star warrior Lampard was tangled by an enemy star-ranked warrior. At this time, there was no one there who could save Pierce's life! The rapier covered in flames was only one inch away from Pierce's neck!
