Without the Islanders guarding the fence, the Nilfgaard people were not in a hurry to climb up. Instead, they first used axes to cut off the sharpened parts of the wooden stakes inserted at the bottom of the trench.

Although some time was wasted, at least if you accidentally slip and fall, you won't be pierced by the wooden stakes.

Then, they started climbing again.

Without the obstruction from the people of the Islands, the Nilfgaard people had a lot of success this time.

They climbed over the fence, moved the horses in the middle of the fence, found some wooden boards behind the fence, and set them up on the trench, so that the following troops could pass through more easily.

The obstacles were cleared, and the Nilfgaard people, with their faces flushed, stepped over the ditch and poured into the fence as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.

The arrangement behind the fence is particularly strange, and I don't know what the people of the Islands think. The left and right sides are separated by another fence, leaving only an open space in the middle that can only accommodate five people side by side.

In addition, a circle of trenches was dug outside the left and right fences.

The trenches on both sides extended along the fence in the direction of the Nilfgaard people for hundreds of meters before converging at one point.

This is similar to an inverted U-shaped trench. It is not as wide as the trench that Nilfgaard people had to climb through so hard. At most, it is equivalent to the width of a person lying on the bottom of the trench with his hands and feet curled up.

As for the Tursek troops who had been forced back by the archers, they retreated to the other side of the trench before stopping.

They did not continue to run away, but looked like they were preparing to put up a desperate fight.

But Nilfgaard people didn't panic at all, but laughed.

There is only a ditch that can be easily jumped over between the Islanders and them. Where do the Islanders have the confidence to dare to confront them...

Under the leadership of the sergeant, the Nilfgaard people reorganized their formation and slowly approached the people of the Islands with great strides.

At this moment, dozens of Clan Drummond soldiers suddenly crawled out from the trenches on both sides of the fence. Each soldier held an alchemy bomb in his hand.

All the Nilfgaard people squeezed in by the fences on both sides changed their colors instantly.

"Throw it!"

"Madman" Lugos shouted.

The Drummond soldiers who had been lying in wait for a long time immediately threw the alchemy bomb in their hands into the crowded Nilfgaard Army.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amidst the earth-shattering explosions, broken limbs and broken arms were flying in the sky, and minced flesh and blood fell like rain. The Nilfgaard people who were so aggressive just now were wailing in the blink of an eye.

The Nilfgaard soldier who was injured by the alchemy bomb but luckily survived was crawling on the ground and wailing.

The open space between the fences was like hell.

Even the people of the Islands have never fought such a battle.

However, Earl Torgil and Crach are lords after all, and they know that fighter planes are fleeting.

So Earl Torgil immediately ordered his troops to retreat from both sides.

The Quite troops, who had retreated to rest earlier and now had recovered their strength, crossed through the middle and changed positions with the Tursek troops.

In the first row of Kuite's troops, Lynn, Gerd, and Crach are all among them.

Crach did not give the order to counterattack, but gave this honor to the demon hunter.

"Lynn, Your Excellency, give the order."

Lynn nodded.

He raised the Gwyhyr in his hand.

An Craite Clan's soldiers all shouted fanatically.

"Attack."

Lynn jumped over the ditch and pounced on the Nilfgaard people who were in chaos.

Gerd, Crach, and other soldiers of the an Craite Clan followed closely behind him.

The situation reversed instantly.

Just now, the Nilfgaard people were preparing to exterminate the Skellige people, but now the roles of hunter and prey have changed.

It must be said that there is a reason why Nilfgaard Army has been able to sweep across the south in recent decades.

After experiencing a previous round of bombings, heavy casualties, and the blessing of multiple debuffs such as dying cries, there were still a few soldiers who could muster the courage to face the approaching Kuite troops.

This group of hastily assembled soldiers didn't even have time to set up their formation, so they rushed forward with enthusiasm. Naturally, they would not think that they alone could defeat the Islanders' attack.

It's just that they have already made up their mind and tried to use their own sacrifice to give their companions time to reorganize their formation.

Unfortunately, their heroic and fearless actions are destined to be in vain.

Gerd waved his hands, the sword swept across, and two Nilfgaard soldiers flew out upside down.

Then Lynn passed by him, Gwyhyr turned into a blurry phantom, and a Nilfgaard soldier fell down holding his neck.

Then he pushed forward with his left hand.

The master-level Aard Sign turned into a terrifying tornado, directly rolling up the more than twenty armored Nilfgaard soldiers in front of him into the sky, and then fell heavily.

When the an Craite Clan soldiers saw this, their morale was greatly boosted, and they chopped one Nilfgaard soldier to the ground one after another.

Tursek's troops followed Quite's troops, while Drummond's troops climbed over the fence and flanked the Nilfgaard soldiers.

The Nilfgaard soldiers were squeezed and kept retreating. They looked in horror at Lynn who rushed at the front and waved Gwyhyr into a whirlwind. No Nilfgaard person could survive for a second in front of him.

The demon hunter who drank a large amount of high-grade magic potion beforehand was like a sophisticated war machine.

Superior Blizzard provides bullet time, Superior Thunderbolt enhances strength, Superior Wolf Potion improves agility, Superior Tawny Owl speeds up the recovery of chaos magic, and Superior Petri's Philter increases the power of Signs.

In addition, fighting in battle is no more than a small fight. As long as you charge forward, you may be injured, so Lynn also drank Superior Swallow Potion in advance.

Of course, he also gave some of these potions to Gerd.

It's just that Gerd's poison resistance is not as good as Lynn, so Gerd only drank Superior Thunderbolt, Superior Blizzard and Superior Wolf Potion.

Therefore, with Lynn and Gerd as the vanguard, the soldiers killed by Nilfgaard were frightened.

Facing these two murderous gods and the people from the Islands following closely behind them, no Nilfgaard person could remain calm and collected.

The Nilfgaard people were crying and retreating, while the Nilfgaard people behind them didn't know what was going on, so they had no choice but to follow them and retreat.

Immediately afterwards, the retreat turned into a rout.

In fact, there were only dozens of Nilfgaard soldiers killed by Lynn and Gerd in one go. Even counting the results of the previous round of alchemical bombing, there were at most less than two hundred casualties.

As for the Nilfgaard soldiers who have successfully landed ashore, there are nearly a thousand of them, and the number of remaining soldiers still exceeds that of the archipelago side.

But the problem is that the archipelago's counterattack caused extremely terrible results for the Nilfgaard people:

That's panic.
