Chapter 514: The Battle of the Siege on the North Side of the Village

He is now certain that behind the raid on Changmai Village, there is indeed a conspiracy being orchestrated by someone. However, the main subjects of this conspiracy are not the ultimately suffering villagers of Changmai Village, but those Defeated Soldiers.

Yes, they are the group of people chosen by the mastermind to do the work, and they are also the ones destined to be disposed of in the end.

And that things developed into this state is also the result of several different forces entangling and opposing each other. Perhaps the God of Agriculture saw through this matter, which is why he guided Priest Bataer to find him and gave him enough support to let him ultimately handle this incident.

It is just unclear whether Jier can handle this matter, because behind this group of Defeated Soldiers, there is also a Knight being manipulated by someone. Whether Jier, a young man still undergoing Knight Training, can defeat the opponent is hard to say.

Jier puts away the letter; this thing is quite important. Whether it is for his companions to view later to let them understand the conspiracy behind the incident, or to be used as some kind of evidence in the future, it needs to be kept well.

He mounts his horse, estimating that by this time both the northern and southern teams have already reached the Dongce Damen Gangshao of the village; it is time to let their forces converge and enter Changmai Village.

Jier kicks the horse's belly hard, making Tianxuecao run, and quickly heads toward the east side of the village.

On the way, he also sees the drivers riding in carriages; they excitedly raise their blood-stained weapons, showing them to Jier from far away.

"Well done! Patrol around the village, don't let a single enemy Soldier out of the village!" Jier shouts loudly at them.

Upon hearing this, the drivers wave their weapons one after another to show they understand. However, even if they are shouting something, the sound is too soft to reach Jier's side; he cannot hear it.

Let us turn back time to see what the situation of the battle at the northern wall of Changmai Village is really like.

Swordsman Weier, Warrior Captain Aoni, as well as a Warrior who uses a Changdao and a Warrior who uses a Single-handed Axe—the four of them, plus the four long-range Mao Mao following behind—are the combat personnel attacking the northern wall of the village.

Although there are still quite a few drivers in carriages further behind, their task is not to launch an attack on the enemy's Jiedian, but to patrol the perimeter to ensure that the enemy's messengers and deserters do not leave the range of Changmai Village, allowing the enemy to escape or notify the enemy's main force to come and support.

As for the number of people attacking, it is just these few: four Humans and four long-haired Lynx Beastmen.

It looks relatively small, not as many as the people on Priest Bataer's side, but the few people in the team all think that this many people is actually enough, and some even think there are even a bit too many.

"It is clearly enough to rely on me alone; why send others to participate." This is the content that each of them thought of in their hearts.

These guys are all confident that their martial arts can defeat the enemy Soldiers and do not need the extra help and coordination of others. Even if help and coordination are needed, the presence of the four Mao Mao providing long-range support behind is enough, and for melee matters, one of them would be sufficient.

"How about this, when the battle starts in a moment, I will go first, and after I am injured and defeated, you go again. How about that?" Aoni, holding a sword and Shield, says with a smile to the other three following behind.

But Weier immediately snorts, and just as he is about to say something mocking, the Warrior using the Changdao speaks first: "You are our Captain, how can we let you make the first move? The Captain should be in the back directing the battle; the crude work of fighting the enemy should be left to me, let me come first."

But the other Warrior using a Single-handed Axe also has something to say: "That won't do, I promised Knight Jier before that I must fight to the death and perform meritorious service in this battle. I must first change the axe in my hand into a Double-handed Battle Axe, then find a way to change it into a Double-handed Battle Axe made of refined steel, and then fight to the death to make the axe in my hand a Spirit weapon!"

Listening to the long-term plan of this Warrior using an axe, the others all snort with disdain; a plan is a plan after all, it sounds beautiful, but it is impractical when it comes to reality.

Weier speaks up at this time: "Let's talk about something practical. The first wave of the battle needs to be launched by suddenly climbing the village wall. Among you, who can climb the wall directly without the enemy discovering it beforehand? You? You? Or you?"

He shakes his head: "None of you can, but I can. So leave the first enemy to me, and after getting onto the wall, we will see about the other enemies ourselves, how about that? Whoever grabs them gets them."

The other three look at each other and feel that what Weier says makes some sense. Although Weier himself is not very well-liked by the Warriors, everyone actually knows what his skills are like. Unlike them, who are displaced Villagers who took up the trade halfway, Weier comes from a foreign country in the south. Although he previously joined a Bandit Group, it is said that his martial arts skills were taught by professional martial arts teachers.

Aoni sniffs and says reluctantly: "Then you go first, use a sneak attack to take out an enemy, and help us open up a space to get up. After that, we will compete for the enemies ourselves based on our own abilities. That's it. As for those Mao Mao, we don't need to worry; they will act on their own. Before coming, Knight Jier had already given instructions through their leader."

After speaking, the four of them stop talking and finally check their respective weapons and equipment one last time.

Weier hangs the Long Sword on his left hand at his waist instead of holding it in his hand. He takes a Rope from behind, ties a slipknot, and prepares to use it to climb the wall.

Aoni touches his leather Armor from top to bottom to ensure that every piece of Armor is well-equipped and the weapons in his hands are also ready.

The melee Warrior using the Changdao hangs the long and thin Changdao behind his waist, preparing to climb the wall with empty hands in a moment.

The Warrior using the Single-handed Axe also inserts the axe into the belt at his waist. He wraps his fur clothes tightly around himself; although the protection of this thing is limited, it is better than being shirtless. He is considering that although a Spirit weapon is the most important, in the process of obtaining a Spirit weapon, should he also pay attention to personal protection? After all, Knight Jier is like that.

Also using a heavy axe, Knight Jier is always in full Metal Armor, high attack, high defense, looking very powerful in battle, able to fight and able to tank.

Thinking this way, this Warrior decides to kill more enemies this time, first capture a Shield, and then find a way to get a set of the enemy's Plate Armor, and rely on these to protect himself well.

After all, in the process of obtaining a Spirit weapon, one must first protect oneself. Before the wish is realized, he cannot die.

The morning mist helps the attacking team approach the village wall.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the village wall, the Warriors stop talking and conversing. They crouch low and move along the ridges of the farmland outside the village, trying their best not to let everyone's footsteps be synchronized, making noises that would be detected by the enemy.

Twenty meters from the wall, Aoni behind the ridge waves his hand at Weier beside him, signaling the other to move out.

Weier nods, and taking advantage of the cover of a patch of low-lying mist drifting over, he suddenly darts forward.

The distance of twenty meters is crossed in a few steps, and he arrives directly under the wall in the blind spot of the enemy's guard post.

Three Warriors poke out half their heads, watching Weier throw the Rope slipknot in his hand onto the wall, hooking the tip of a wooden stake standing at the top edge of the wall. Then Weier pulls the rope tight, and with agile movements of hands and feet, like a nimble monkey, he climbs the three-meter-high wooden wall in one go in just two or three seconds and disappears behind the wall.

"He's up!" a Warrior exclaims in a low voice.

"Keep it down." Aoni immediately whispers to stop the other from talking.

But the small sound of talking here still attracts the attention of the Defeated Soldier on the wall.

The opponent yawns, holding a Simple Long Spear made by the villagers in the village themselves, and slightly pokes half his body out from the guard post to peek at the farmland outside the village.

He seems to have seen something and is about to open his mouth in surprise to question, but a fierce sound of a Long Sword being unsheathed suddenly comes from behind him, which makes this Soldier jump in shock. As he turns his head, what comes toward his face is a cold light.

Swish—Puchi.

Weier deliberately lets the Long Sword make a sound when unsheathed to arouse the enemy's alertness, and then turn around.

He previously noticed that the enemy Soldier's Armor had no protection for the front of the neck. This is a common problem with most Simple Armor, because to protect the neck, one must increase the volume and weight of the Chest Armor on the armor, ensuring that the Chest Armor can extend upward from the front to protect the neck.

Or increase the area of the Helmet's lower hem protection to let the Helmet protect the entire head and neck together.

But these things will increase the manufacturing cost and manufacturing complexity of the Simple Armor, which creates a contradiction with the large-scale production of Simple Armor, and even the lowest possible price.

Therefore, like the Soldier Armor on the Defeated Soldiers, other vital parts of the body basically have some Metal Armor Plates for protection, but only the front of the neck has no protection.

What Weier aims for is this point. He draws his sword extremely fast, like a Poisonous Snake launching a bite, and the moment he strikes, it is a killing move aimed directly at the enemy's neck.

The tip of the Long Sword quickly flicks and licks the front of the enemy's neck twice, and then immediately retracts.

But just these two simple flicks cause the front of the Defeated Soldier's neck, two large Blood Vessels, the trachea, and the throat to be quickly and accurately cut by the tip of the Long Sword.

Weier immediately leans down to dodge, avoiding the blood spraying from the enemy's neck. He moves aside from the side to approach the enemy, uses his hand to hold the enemy's head facing outward, so that the blood spraying from the enemy's neck is sprinkled on the ground outside the wall.

This Defeated Soldier has no effective counterattack at all, just trembling all over and collapsing softly, dying right there.

Weier removes the Helmet from the enemy's head, puts it directly on his own head, waves to his companions outside the wall, signaling them to come up. Then he stands in the guard post just like that, as if he himself were one of the Defeated Soldiers.

The Defeated Soldier in the guard post next door glances over here casually, but seeing someone present, he doesn't care, continuing to yawn and calculating when the person to replace him will come.

Aoni and the other two immediately run out from the farmland and arrive at the place where Weier just climbed the wall.

Aoni is very responsible, leaning his back directly against the wall, clasping his hands together, resting them on his abdomen, and lifting his chin at the other two.

The other two Warriors are not polite either, directly grabbing the rope, stepping on Aoni's palms, and then stepping on Aoni's shoulders to increase their height. At this time, they are already very close to the top of the wall, and with a little effort, the two Warriors climb up one after another.

Then Aoni turned and jumped on the spot; without needing the help of a Rope, he reached his hands upward and was grabbed by his two companions on the wall, one hand each.

The people above exerted their strength and pulled the rather heavy Aoni up.

They had not practiced this routine beforehand, but with just a single look between them, everyone roughly knew what the other was going to do.

After all three were up, they quickly ran along the wooden Corridor inside the wall toward the next sentry post; Weier stopped pretending, raised his Long Sword, and was the first to charge up.

Da-da-da-da, a burst of chaotic footsteps caught the attention of the next sentry post; this Soldier turned his head and was completely stunned—what was going on? Where did all these people pop out from?

But before he could do anything, a black shadow flew in from outside the wall and accurately struck his right eye socket.

With a squelch, his right eye and the orbital bone were shattered, and blood mixed with the fluids from his eye flowed all over his face.

"Ahhh—"

This Soldier wailed, covering his right eye with both hands, unable to pay any attention to the four Warriors rushing toward him.

"Unnecessary help!" Weier shouted loudly, instantly quickening his pace to lunge forward, lowering his body as he thrust his Long Sword upward from the hem of the enemy's battle skirt.

At the same time, he slammed his left shoulder forward, knocking this enemy off the sentry post and causing him to fall into the farmland outside the wall.

The next moment, a small figure darted out from behind the surrounding field ridges and pounced on the Defeated Soldier, who was gasping for air on the ground and unable to make a sound.

It was a ranged Mao Mao; holding two sharpened Iron Nails, it stabbed wildly at the fallen Soldier and quickly finished off this enemy.

Afterward, the Mao Maos all ran out, excitedly surrounding the corpse of the enemy Soldier covered in metal items, meowing in their mouths, clearly celebrating something. According to the prior agreement, the enemies killed by the Mao Maos meant the weapons and equipment on the enemies belonged to them!

The metal items on this enemy were far more numerous than those of many previous enemies.

It was a huge profit!

On the wall, Aoni shouted in dissatisfaction: "Too cunning!"

Weier flicked his blood-stained Long Sword with disdain and did not respond; his footsteps did not stop as he continued to run quickly toward the next wall sentry post.

But with all the wailing and shouting here, the enemy Defeated Soldiers were not made of wood; they had already noticed this side the moment the first strange sound was made.

At this moment, when this Defeated Soldier saw the aggressive newcomers charging over, he immediately took out his bow and arrow to fight back, retreating while shooting toward the sentry post at the north gate of the Cunzi.

Only then did the intense alarm sound of clanging bells ring out from the north gate sentry post of the Cunzi.

Swish!

Arrows flew in, and the four, including Aoni, each used their own methods.

Weier, who was charging the fastest, jumped directly from the Corridor on the wall into the Cunzi, landed in a roll, and charged straight toward the north gate sentry post without looking back. This was because the wooden gate of the north gate sentry post was wide open to receive the retreating Defeated Soldier.

Weier was not only dodging arrows, he was also aiming straight for the enemy's gate sentry post!!!

Aoni was much more traditional; wearing leather Armor and holding a sword and Shield, he walked forward slowly with his Shield raised. With the Shield and the Armor on his body, Aoni was not afraid of the enemy's arrow fire.

The Warrior using the Changdao had a flashy way of dodging arrows. He did the opposite of Weier, jumping toward the outside of the wall, but his hands tightly gripped the upward-pointing spikes on the wall.

Swinging his body outward and then swinging back, he moved left and right like a nimble horse bandit on the grasslands, avoiding the incoming arrows.

"How is this even possible!!??" This was the soul-searching question the enemy asked after seeing this scene.

The last Warrior, who used a Single-handed Axe, was much simpler. As he passed by the first enemy Weier had just killed, he picked up the Soldier Shield the enemy hadn't used. At this moment, he imitated Aoni's movements and advanced with his Shield raised.

But after Aoni saw his movements, he cursed: "Idiot! Not like that! Hide behind me!!!"

This Warrior could not stand being scolded and did not hide behind Aoni.

Aoni had to explain immediately: "Your calves! You have no Armor on your calves! The enemy will prioritize attacking there!"

Only then did this Warrior using the Single-handed Axe understand the logic, and he retreated behind Aoni, albeit unwillingly.
