章節 48: Siege

Wu wu wu wu wu!

A deep horn sounded in the sky.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

A heavy war drum rumbled.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

A thunderous battle cry shook the sky and earth.

In the midst of these loud rumbles, the war had begun.

Rows of auxiliary soldiers carried sandbags and wooden planks on their backs and rushed towards the moat. They began to fill the river and build bridges.

"Longbowmen, get ready!" Count Kroya raised his cross-shaped sword and shouted loudly.

Rows of longbowmen walked forward and raised the purple wood longbow in their hands. They bent their knees, leaned back, and pulled the bowstring made of sheep intestines and tendons into the shape of a full moon. The cone-shaped iron arrowhead shone with waves of cold light under the sunlight.

Count Kroya swung his cross-shaped sword down. "Release the arrows!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
