Chapter 61: The Gates of Hell Open for You!

"People of Stormhold, listen up! Your lord has offended our Scorpion Bandit Gang, and our Scorpion Boss is furious. We are now coming to settle the score with your lord!"

"Our Boss has spoken. This is your last chance, you innocent serfs. If you leave the wooden walls and hide in your homes, then our Scorpion Boss will spare your lives!"

"But whoever dares to be obstinate and follow this lord in resisting our Scorpion Boss will wait to have their heads twisted off and kicked like a ball. Even your wives and children will not be spared!"

As the Scorpion Bandit Gang approached, before Gervas's side could even start shouting, a small lackey from the opposite side rushed out to threaten them from atop the city wall.

And there, seated on a clearly tall warhorse, surrounded by his followers like stars around the moon, the Scorpion Boss tilted his head up slightly, holding an apple in one hand and taking bites, his face full of disdain and arrogance.

What a guy! Gervas exclaimed, "What a guy!"

Clearly a bandit leader, yet he acts even more pretentious than I, the true lord!

And the words of this shouting were simply an ultimate attack right in the face.

Of course, the influence of the Scorpion Bandit Gang on the border is indeed not to be underestimated.

The guards' reactions were actually better; after all, having received such high benefits and Gervas's grace, their wills remained relatively firm.

But those serfs who had just been temporarily conscripted were already so frightened that their faces turned pale, and their bodies trembled slightly.

"Serfs of Stormhold, before coming here, I heard that Stormhold was a dangerous place, but I, Gervas, did not retreat. I resolutely came to this so-called land of death spoken of by others!"

"On the very first day of my arrival, I saw a Demon Snake attacking Stormhold; subsequently, I saw a Swamp Troll and a Second-Rank Beast Wolf!"

"But so what? Were they not easily resolved by me leading my knights? The territory and its people remained safe and sound! Instead, those demons and demon gods died without a place to bury their bodies!"

"Now, the Scorpion Bandit Gang has arrived. I can tell you that their ultimate fate will be no different from that of the Demon Snake and the Swamp Troll."

"So, what is the Scorpion Bandit Gang? There is nothing to fear. Now, everyone follow me, raise your middle fingers at these bandits, and tell them, 'Come on! You bastards, if you dare to charge up, the Gates of Hell will open for them!'"

"Haha! My Lord speaks correctly. The Scorpion Bandit Gang's final result will be the same as the Demon Snake and the Beast Wolf. Guards, raise your middle fingers and shout with me, 'Come on! You bastards, if you dare to charge up, the Gates of Hell will open for you!'"

"Come on! You bastards! If you dare to charge up, the Gates of Hell will open for you!"

"Come on! You bastards! If..."

First, a hundred guards shouted together, followed by the serfs who had been infected by the spirit.

Amidst the shouts, the momentum of Wheatfield Town was magnificent.

Conversely, the wild dogs outside, who had been so eager before, were frightened by the momentum of Wheatfield Town, and their eager-to-try expressions weakened considerably.

"Damn scum, I underestimated you!" The Scorpion Boss suddenly threw away the apple in his hand. "Start the charge for me! Today I will kill all the men in this entire Wheatfield Town!"

"Wild dogs, did you hear that? The Scorpion Boss has spoken. Follow me and charge up!" The Second-in-Chief immediately responded, personally leading over four hundred wild dogs of the Scorpion Gang to launch the charge.

"Kill!"

Carrying dozens of simple wooden ladders and holding all sorts of weapons, the wild dogs followed Sek as they launched the charge.

"Longbowmen, fire!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

When the enemies entered the effective range of one hundred meters, eleven slave archers, including Evelan, began to fire.

Amidst the whistling of the arrows, wild dog bandits would occasionally stiffen their bodies and fall to the ground.

Of course, ten archers against a charging force of over four hundred people had very limited killing power.

In the blink of an eye, these wild dog bandits arrived beneath the city wall.

"Charge up! The first brave warrior to kill into Wheatfield Town will be rewarded with ten silver coins!" Sek continued to shout.

"Kill!"

The temptation of money once again bolstered the courage of the wild dogs. After placing the wooden ladders against the wooden wall, they began to climb without hesitation.

Meanwhile, the guards and serf soldiers above began to throw stones to resist them.

Unfortunately, these wild dogs possessed wooden shields provided specifically by the bandit gang, so the effect of the stone attacks was not great!

Soon, wild dog bandits began to appear over the wooden wall.

Pfft!

However, the guards' reactions were not slow either. Spears and long swords were thrust forward without hesitation, and all those who dared to covet those ten silver coins fell to the ground amidst screams of agony.

However, the subsequent wild dogs continued to rush forward one after another.

"No wonder he acts so pretentious. Even the wild dogs are so fearless of death; they indeed have some strength!" Gervas watched the battle situation on the wooden wall and finally took the strength of the Scorpion Bandit Gang seriously.

Actually, Gervas did not know that the Scorpion Boss far away was also very surprised in his heart.

You see, the serfs on this border would be so frightened by the mere mention of his name, the Scorpion Boss, that they would wet their pants.

Yet the guards and serfs on the city wall, under his threat, could still fight the wild dogs with such firmness; this was something he had not seen before.

"Go, tell Sek! Let him lead the way to open a breach!"

Although the wild dogs were cannon fodder, these cannon fodder had accompanied him on many transactions and were an important force for the Scorpion Bandit Gang.

Therefore, the Scorpion Boss decided to change strategy, letting Boss Sek and the Bronze Knight help open the breakthrough point.

Of course, this was merely the Scorpion Boss's wishful thinking.

After Sek received the order, he immediately drew his long sword and charged onto the wooden wall.

Then, letting out a loud roar, just as he activated his fighting qi and prepared to leap into the wooden wall to slaughter in all directions, Lei Meng, who had been watching him closely, arrived nearby.

"Die!" Sek, not yet realizing the danger, raised his sword without hesitation to strike the fellow blocking his way!

Lei Meng sneered coldly. The long sword in his hand hummed, and then he met Sek's long sword.

Furthermore, Lei Meng struck later but arrived first. With a clang, he shook Sek's hand so hard that the skin at the base of his thumb cracked.

"Damn it!" Sek only then realized belatedly that the one ahead was a Title Knight far stronger than himself.

"Die!" But while he was surprised, Lei Meng's long sword had already swung down again!

"Bastard!" Seeing the long sword coming down, with no time to block it at all, Sek gritted his teeth and threw himself backward without hesitation.

Creak!

Pfft!

However, as he fell backward toward the ground, Lei Meng's sword tip still sliced across his body, piercing through that leather armor and carving a long bloody wound across his chest.

With a thud, Saike hit the ground.

Normally, a four-meter fall wouldn't injure a Title Knight too badly.

But Saike landed on his back, let out a muffled groan, and a mouthful of blood spilled from his lips.

He dared not delay; he scrambled to his feet and ran!

Lei Meng glanced over and thought it a pity.

However, Saike's flight immediately threw the wild dogs into panic.

Seeing this, Gervas said, "Your boss has run; why aren't you running? Do you intend to stay and wait for death?"

The wild dogs erupted in chaos; indeed, they saw Boss Saike stumbling away toward the rear.

Their bravery had relied on Boss Saike and Boss Scorpion as their standards.

Now that the standard had fled, their courage instantly wavered!

"Boss Saike has run; let's go quickly!"

"Yes, let's leave first; there's a Title Knight up there; we can't fight them!"

Thus, the wild dogs, who had advanced with fierce momentum, immediately scattered in flight.
