Capítulo 276: A king's Valor

Hours passed, in which Dave ordered the installation of wooden spikes. Behind these wooden spikes, archers and soldiers that could wield a bow were standing waiting for orders.

A few of Dave's soliders would retreat back to the palace from the city streets. They were mostly wounded. And if one was still able to fight, he was given a bow and a quiver and was ordered to take a stand next to the others behind the wooden spikes.

Dementi's archer unit was almost decimated. But the surviving force had retreated from the city walls and were now on top of the palace walls.

The first Vinlandian solider emerged from the smoke spreading through the city. Two archers atop the city wall shot him dead.

Other Vinlandian soldiers showed up after him, but they were all shot down. Soon after, a vinlandian unit poised behind tower shields moved toward the palace.

Arrows rain down on them, picking off a few but the rest were able to move all the way to the wooden spikes in front of the palace.
