Chapter 237: Battle to defend the city (Part 1)

After two days of rest, the Thunder Beast Warriors were fully recovered in their spirit and physical strength.

They took over the defense mission of Baishi City and strengthened the city's defense. Ranger scouts were also sent out to guard the surrounding area.

This made the original garrison soldiers in Baishi City very puzzled. In their opinion, Baishi City is very safe now. Unless the army attacking Valen City is defeated, you can rest assured here. Why do you have to make such a big fight?

But Leon's idea is different from them. The war concept he believed in was that an army must be ready for war at any time before it can be able to meet various challenges. Once they are indulged in comfort, their morale and fighting spirit will become lower and lower as time goes by.

The tired soldiers can rest and recover, but the string in their hearts cannot be relaxed. Daily training, patrol and alert tasks are the conditions to ensure their strong fighting spirit. Once summoned by the front line, they can devote themselves to the cruel battle as soon as possible.

He himself personally supervised the training of the Thunder Beast Warriors, patrolling various places in the city every day, and supervising the defense and garrison.

Baishi City is a small city with only 10,000 residents. After the fall of Valen City, all the residents in the city were evacuated, leaving only a garrison.

Later, the Third Team took over Baishi City and simply strengthened the city defense.

Of course, there is no need to spend much effort to temporarily garrison a small city, but now there are only a thousand defenders including the Thunder Beast Warriors. In Leon's opinion, there are problems in the city defense.

Only by being prepared can you be free of dangers and any caution on the battlefield is necessary. The barbarian Linsk Port was successfully attacked by the Thunder Beast Brigade. One of the most important reasons is the barbarian's negligence.

Of course, Leon could not follow the mistakes of the barbarians. Under his command, the Thunder Beast warriors used wooden barrels to drill well water and poured them on the city wall, forming layers of solid ice to strengthen the solidity of the city wall.

The heavy crossbows in the warehouse were deployed in large quantities on the city walls. The walls of Baishi City were only a dozen feet high. It is necessary to improve the defense ability when it is impossible to increase the height.

Leon even asked the twenty catapults in stock to assemble and deploy them behind the city wall.

In just one day, Shiraishi's small town became a semi-fortress fortress with sharp minions. Those who don't understand think it is facing the threat of the enemy.

The baggage team and the quarantine officers who were originally stationed in the city were a little dissatisfied with Leon's mobilization.

Because whether it is a heavy crossbow or a catapult, they are reserve supplies for the Third War Group to attack Valen City. Once the front line needs it, they must be transported there.

Now that all of Leon has been taken out for use, it will undoubtedly be very troublesome to remove it when transporting it.

However, despite his dissatisfaction, Leon had the warrant of Count Octavia, and was the supreme commander of White Rock City, and everyone could only obey his orders.

On the afternoon of the fourth day when the Thunder Beast Brigade was stationed in White Rock City, Leon received an order from the Third Army.

After several days of tentative attacks, the Third Army and the two armies of the Northern Garrison have surrounded the city of Valen, and the real siege is about to begin.

Earl of Octavia ordered Leon to protect the safety of White Rock City and prepare for war. Once the siege is unfavorable, the Thunder Beast Team may be recruited again to participate in the battle.

When he received the order, Leon was patrolling the city wall. After reading the order, he stared at the north and vaguely sniffed the bloody smell from the front line.

Day 5, Day 6... Leon kept receiving news from the frontline.

The battle in Valen City was very fierce. The Third Army lost nearly a thousand soldiers, and the baggage team sent more than 100 seriously injured and disabled soldiers. They lost their limbs and combat ability in the battle, so they had to retreat to the rear for cultivation.

However, the barbarian army in Valen City could no longer support it. They cut off the supply and guarded the lonely city, relying solely on their courage to support it. It was only a matter of time before they fell.

But one side of the third battle group cannot be said to be a victory. The barbarians cannot sit and see the strongholds they have seized through great difficulty and lose them again, so there will inevitably be some action, and the real test is still to come.

Late at night, the darkest time before dawn.

Lei Ang suddenly woke up from his deep sleep. As the tiger's eyes opened and closed, a divine light flashed, and he turned over and sat up from the bed.

Rose sleeping beside him was alarmed. She opened her sleepy eyes and asked in surprise: "Lei, what's wrong?"

Leon shook his head, his expression showing a bit of solemnity.

There was a strange feeling in his heart, as if there was a danger coming towards him. This intuition that originated from the soul was difficult to describe in words.

After returning from the Arctic Icefield, Leon found that his spiritual power had been greatly improved, which was reflected in his increasingly sharp perception of the outside world. On the quiet night, he could easily see the movements that appeared within a large range of surrounding areas.

This may have the most direct relationship with his mastery of the Frost Giant, because only by relying on the powerful spiritual power can we control the war puppets that the barbarians are proud of.

It was the alert in my heart that made Leon wake up from his sleep.

"I feel something is wrong. Put on your armor and let's take a look on the city wall together," Leon said in a deep voice.

Qiangwei nodded and quickly changed into armor.

As a second-level samurai, her talent in combat is beyond doubt. The fighting tempering on the ice field has allowed the leopard girl to grow up quickly. She is not a delicate woman who can only hide behind Leon for protection.

Put on the black dragon python armor and holding the Lei Yan sword in his hand. Lei Ang quickly left the city lord's mansion with Qiangwei and more than a dozen guards around him.

At night, after the Ranger Scout retreats, White Rock City will close the gate and enter a curfew state. No one except the patrol team can stay on the streets of the city, even if there are basically no residents in the city now.

On the city walls, there are soldiers on patrol and guarding. Although it is the most sleepy moment, no soldier neglects his duties.

These soldiers on duty are all veterans of Thunder Beasts, loyal and tenacious fighting experience, and are the most reliable powers under Leon.

However, at this time, Baishi City was immersed in the night. There was nothing strange about quiet and peaceful. Only the whistling wind passed over the city wall, blew the battle flags and roared.

But Leon's feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger. He led his people around the city wall and finally stopped at the eastern section of the city wall.

On this night without moon and stars, there were still scattered snow floating in the sky, and it was pitch black outside the city and there was nothing to see at all.

The deep darkness is like a dormant beast, which can be rushed out and hurt people at any time.

Here, Leon felt the strongest, and there seemed to be great danger hidden in the darkness in the distance.

Could it be that an enemy came from the east? He was suddenly shocked.

Twenty or thirty miles east of Baishi City is the sea. The enemy is completely likely to attack Baishi City by sea. Although there is no port on the coast there, the enemy can use small boats to land and fight.

Now the battle in Valen City is entering a critical moment, and the barbarians are facing many problems in supporting the ice field. In bad weather, hundreds of miles of long distances, and more likely to be ambushed and intercepted by the Begun army.

However, the sea routes are different. Although the sea storms are difficult to predict, the Bemon Beasts have no control on the sea surface. The barbarians can borrow human warships to transport troops southward to attack the rear of the third battle group, thus playing the role of a surprise weapon.

In history, barbarians and humans used their maritime advantages to frequently harass the Bemon coastal areas, and they are definitely not unfamiliar with landing tactics.

If, as Leon guessed, then White Rock City is undoubtedly an excellent target. A large amount of supplies are stored here. Once it falls, it will inevitably shake the morale of the Third War Group. The landing barbarian army will take the opportunity to launch an attack from behind, which will definitely have a huge impact on the offensive and defensive battle in Valen City.

The most important thing is that capturing Baishi City can also bring shame to the destruction of the barbarian port of Xuelinsk.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Leon's mind. He was putting himself on the barbarian side to consider the problem.

The result was the source of his inner danger intuition. Perhaps from the day he entered White Rock City, Leon subconsciously realized the existence of danger, but it broke out tonight.

"Transfer my order and immediately enter the state of combat readiness." Leon shouted in a deep voice: "Add torches and braziers on all city walls to prevent enemy sneak attacks."

Whoosh

As soon as Leon finished speaking, a dozen sharp arrows suddenly shot from outside the city, several of which were shot at his vital points.

The sneak attack from the darkness was extremely sudden, but Leon, who was alert, was still shocked and waved his arm to block the moment the arrow came.

Smack

Two feather arrows were shot out.

"snort"

Several guards next to him were caught off guard by arrows, and one of the feather arrows penetrated the neck of a guard, killing him on the spot.

**Leon's eyes turned red.

These guards are veterans who have always followed him to death and death. They are extremely loyal and brave, but are now injured and killed in the enemy's sneak attack.

"Enemy attack"

The thunder beast warrior guarding the city wall roared angrily, and the horn of warning was immediately blown.

Papa

Dozens of rope hooks were thrown onto the city wall, and more feather arrows were shot at the city wall. The enemy outside the city realized that the sneak attack had become impossible, so he simply attacked with a sharp sword and a gun.

However, the prepared Thunder Beast Warrior hid behind the battlements, and the furious Leon relied on the body-protecting soul armor to carry the feather arrow shot down, and swung out the sword like lightning, cutting off the several rope hooks placed on the city wall in one by one.

Although these cable hooks are extremely tough in texture and ordinary swords cannot be cut through, how can they withstand Leon's thunder strike?
