Chapter 125: The Horn
Winnie patted Vivian on the shoulder: "I'm going to take a shower now. It's been more than a week since I last took one."
Even if they were very clean, it was impossible to guarantee that everyone could bathe every day, especially in a military camp.
So when they learned that there was a shower in the room, the female knights couldn't wait to take a shower.
Vivian asked doubtfully, "If we all remove our armor, what if the goblins suddenly attack?"
Amy explained with a smile, "The maid said that the soldiers in the camp are on a rotation system. Tonight, our barracks are on the rotation. Tomorrow night, we will have to wear armor and rest, and we may even have to patrol the city walls."
Vivian lay on the top bunk, listening to Amy's steady breathing from the next bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Unbeknownst to her, tens of thousands more goblins had recently appeared in the goblin camp.
Chief Tecott of the Flying Dragon Tribe had also arrived and was listening to Pertour's report in the main tent.
Tecott's face darkened. "You mean this human territory has already established a complete goblin slaughterhouse?"
Pertol replied, "That's right, and there's also an efficient way to kill them. Sending ordinary goblins to attack a city is like sending them to provide materials."
Tecott's eyes darkened, then he turned to Devon: "What do you think we should do now?"
Devon was startled by Tecott's gaze and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Chieftain, the goblins won't work. We can have the big goblins and little goblins mix together to attack the city, while simultaneously expelling a large number of human slaves to Ashwood Territory."
"If Ashwood opens the gates and lets them in, we'll take the opportunity to storm in. If they don't open the gates, we'll drive out those slaves and attack the city, and see if they dare to kill us."
Pertol looked at Devon, this scum of humanity, with disgust. It was one thing for him to betray humanity, but he was even more ruthless in harming his own people.
Pertel muttered to himself, "Human traitors are all the same, no good at all!"
Although the voice was very soft, it was still heard by Dodo, who was standing next to him.
Dodo rolled his eyes. He knew Devon was a bad seed, after all, they had cooperated for so many years.
But there was a reason why Dodo didn't take Devon with him when he escaped. Who would dare to expect loyalty from someone who betrayed even his own father?
Only that arrogant guy, Tecott, thought he could control Devon.
Tecott couldn't help but smile broadly: "Great idea, I'll leave this to you. Go and bring all the slaves from the camp with you."
The suggestion from German is really good.
In Tecott's eyes, human slaves were neither male nor female.
Early the next morning, nearly a thousand slaves, armed with weapons even more rudimentary than those of goblins, headed toward Ashwood Territory.
Upon receiving the news, Ron immediately shouted, "Have them go around to the earthen building under the west city wall!"
These are real people, so he was naturally happy to take them in. He settled them in the earthen building first, and once the gate was closed, the goblins would have no way to stop the people who entered the earthen building unless they wanted to withstand the double attack of the earthen building and the city wall.
On the city wall, Fanta received the order and immediately had someone shout it out on the wall.
"If you want to survive, run around the city walls and enter the city from the west side."
Upon hearing that they could enter the city, the slaves scurried along the city walls, causing the goblins escorting them to roar in anger.
Devon and Ironclad, hidden among the crowd, dared not make any small moves, fearing that an arrow might suddenly fall from the sky and take their lives.
However, he was still very reassured. As soon as they entered the city, he led his men to block the city gate and prevent it from closing.
They just needed to wait for the wolf riders to arrive; they had already considered this, since Pertel had already scouted the terrain around Ashwood Territory.
The western city wall posed the greatest threat, but it was also the weakest point in terms of defense.
When the slave arrived at the west city wall, he saw that the gates of several earthen buildings were open.
"Enter the castle, close the gates and defend. Once the goblin army retreats, you will be free."
Upon hearing the shouts from the city wall, Devon was instantly dumbfounded; naturally, he had no intention of entering the earthen building.
Once inside, they'll be trapped like turtles in a jar.
Then he's really finished.
Devon secretly urged them to move toward the west gate, where nearly two thousand wolf riders could be seen in the distance.
They thought they were well hidden, but in reality, they were all within the range of the lookouts.
Fanta snorted coldly: "Open the gates of the barbican and let them in."
When Devon saw the city gates open, he immediately ordered the slaves into the city. But soon Devon realized something was wrong; the city gates leading to the main city had never been opened.
Fanta looked at the flag bearer on the roof of the pit building. The flag bearer gave a signal, and the wolf riders lying in ambush in the distance did not move, but instead hung far behind.
Fanta was somewhat disappointed: "I wasn't fooled!"
Above the sky, a falcon circled continuously, giving a clear view of the battlefield.
"Cunning humans!" Pertel cursed under his breath, then ordered the wolf riders lurking in the distance to remain still.
If a surprise attack doesn't work, then we have no choice but to launch a frontal assault.
In order to wear down the Ashwood Territory's soldiers, they dispatched 30,000 goblins to attack the main city from the north, southeast, and southwest.
A large number of goblins began pushing ladders up the walls. This time, the number of ladders used to scale the walls was several times that of the previous attempts, with the aim of preventing Ashwood's soldiers from farming monsters too easily.
Just as Tecott had predicted, with enough numbers, they could still keep the soldiers on the city walls busy.
The reserve soldiers quickly rushed up the city wall and joined the battle. They then began throwing stones at the ladders. Each stone, the size of a human head, could kill everyone on the ladder.
As soon as the ladder was empty, someone poured boiling molten gold down on it, and instantly, the entire base of the city wall was filled with wails of agony.
Dodok felt a chill run down his spine, because the two major defensive weapons Ashwood used during the siege were still nowhere to be seen.
Tecott quickly commented: "A very tenacious human being!"
The first wave of attacks lasted for three hours, and 30,000 goblins were consumed on this battlefield.
Because of the urgency of the situation, only about one-third of the goblin corpses were being processed at the slaughterhouse; the rest were outside the city walls, with the pile of corpses almost reaching a meter high.
The reserve team has been rotated twice. Fanta took stock of the casualties: seven dead and forty-two wounded.
The enemy's corpses were piled up to the waist of the wall, but blood was still flowing down the wall.
Before the soldiers on the city wall could even catch their breath, they saw the elite goblins move.
The leading goblin, carrying a makeshift shield, advanced in formation, a sight that almost made Fanta burst out laughing.
Dodok immediately found Tecot: "If you attack in this formation, you'll become targets for human catapults."
Tecott glanced at Dodok and said disdainfully, "You think our Flying Dragon Tribe is like you? Let me show you the difference in strength and resources between a large tribe and an ordinary tribe."
Perdue took out a horn no bigger than the palm of his hand and blew it.
