Defense Line in Peril

"Longbowmen, ready! Fire at will!" Seeing the Northern Principality's guards charge onto the stone bridge, Nalant immediately gave the order to the ten Longbowmen.

"Longbowmen, ready, fire at will... Loose!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

When the Northern Principality guards reached a distance of over seventy meters, the ten Longbowmen among the Storm Knights immediately began their attack.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

As arrows flew out one after another, four or five Northern Principality guards charging at the front were instantly struck. Two of them, having been too close to the bridge's edge, fell straight into the river.

However, compared to the crossbow carts, longbows ultimately lacked power, and there were too few of them. Very soon, the foremost Northern Principality guards rushed to the stone wall.

The Northern Principality guards carried over a dozen crude wooden ladders. The instant they reached the stone wall, they set them against it.

Moreover, after setting up the ladders, these guards did not climb them immediately. Instead, they moved behind the ladders and clung to them tightly, preventing them from being pushed away.

Raymond and the others tried pushing the ladders, only to find that they could not move them at all. In the end, they simply stopped trying, lowered their bodies with shields in one hand and swords in the other, and waited.

"Kill!"

Just two or three seconds later, the first wave of Northern Principality guards climbed onto the stone wall, raising small shields and swinging longswords as they charged at the barbarian guards.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

For a moment, the clash of shields rang out atop the stone wall.

But before the barbarians' unrivaled brute strength, the few Northern Principality guards from the first wave who had climbed onto the stone bridge were instantly knocked flying and fell from the high wall.

"Kill!"
