The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 461 City Defense Battle

"Send the order!"

Jack changed into a messenger's uniform and rode his horse directly into the camp of the noble coalition.

In a situation where he would die without a burial place if exposed, Jack felt the thrill of adventure for the first time in a long time.

Jack took the forged order and delivered it from camp to camp.

The knights in charge of the battle command all looked disdainful after receiving the order.

"Those pampered fellows have issued some incomprehensible orders again!"

The knights looked at the orders handed to them, the military deployment and so on, and they were annoyed at first glance.

But they had to do it. After all, the nobles on the farm were the sponsors of this battle, and they provided the military rations and bounties.

"Get those lazy guys out of here, we have to move!"

The chaotic coalition camp began to be dispatched according to the contents of the order.

Several knight camps swapped positions with each other, quickly making the already chaotic situation even worse.

Cursing and shouting were heard constantly, and more and more people couldn't find their own team.

In the midst of this chaos, someone suddenly blew the horn of attack.

The knights responsible for the attack immediately headed towards Simon's castle.

The knights who launched the first attack had excitement and excitement on their faces. They did not notice at all that the number of people attacking the castle only accounted for one third of the total assembled troops.

The North deliberately issued complex false orders in order to weaken the intensity of the coalition's attack.

The most suitable attack method for the coalition forces at the moment is to rush forward and eat Simon.

Unfortunately, after the coalition's rear headquarters was quietly destroyed in the north, the coalition was doomed to fail.

"Oh no! Those knights are coming!"

Among the allied knights gathered outside the city, the worst were riding travel horses.

The scene of hundreds of knights galloping on horseback still looks very intimidating.

"Seal the city gates. Everyone, fight on the walls. Don't forget the ray gun operating rules!"

The battle began, and Simon stood on the city wall and tried his best to command.

Many of the soldiers around Simon were on the battlefield for the first time, and when they saw the knights galloping in from outside the city, many of them were trembling.

"Without siege equipment, they can't climb up! When they get close, we'll give them a taste of the ray gun!"

Simon's deployment also began to become chaotic, but fortunately the defenders had the terrain advantage, and Simon's encouragement stabilized the defensive line on the top of the city.

Once the battle begins, the commander has little to do with it.

The Allied knights quickly approached the city wall, and the ray guns on top of the wall immediately opened fire.

The allied knights dismounted and set up wooden ladders, while the ray guns on the city walls continued to fire.

The knights of the allied forces climbed up the wooden ladders, holding shields and holding daggers tightly. The soldiers on the city wall were so frightened that they dared not stay where they were.

At the critical moment, Simon had to go to the most dangerous place in person to block the coalition forces from rushing upwards.

The knights, also wearing heavy armor, were crowded together. They had no space to swing their weapons and could only shout loudly and try to knock each other down with their strength.

Fortunately, the shooting holes on the side could attack the Allied Knights. As the ray gun continued to consume energy, the first wave of attacks by the Allied Knights was repelled.

"what!"

Simon, whose plate armor was crushed, vented his inner depression with all his strength. They won another battle and his castle was not breached by the coalition forces.

The joy of victory spread throughout the castle in an instant, and some timid soldiers built up their confidence at this moment.

On the other hand, the morale of the coalition forces immediately dropped after the first attack failed.

"Why don't you follow us! With just a few more people, we can take down the city wall!"

A knight with burn marks all over his body angrily approached the Allied knights in the rear. He was hit by ray gun fire and his heirloom armor was scrapped in the first charge.

"We have received orders to attack in three hours. If you can't take the city wall, it only proves that you are useless!"

The accused knight also wanted to save his face. The order he received was to wait where he was. Why should he be blamed by those who failed in the first wave of attack!

The coalition forces have one disadvantage: they are not united.

The knights of each family will only take care of their own men first, and they don't care about the situation of other teams.

Simon, on the defending side, immediately noticed this. He saw clearly from the city wall that the coalition forces were not as strong as he had imagined.

"They will just come at us in waves. As long as we focus on defense, they won't be able to eat us!"

Simon's castle became stronger after a battle.

The allied knights, however, became even more confused and decadent because of the failure of their first attack.

Three hours later, according to the predetermined plan, the second wave of allied knights began to attack Simon Castle.

This time the allied knights learned their lesson and moved the heavy cavalry to the front, and also arranged magicians and archers to support the rear.

The powerful knight holding a two-handed axe does not think he will fail.

He quickly crossed the ray gun-covered area, powerful weapon in hand, and stepped onto the wooden ladder left over from the first attack.

Two people appeared above the wooden ladder, trying to stop the knight from climbing.

With a whoosh, a fireball hit above, lighting Simon's soldiers into torches.

The burning soldier panicked and fell directly from the knight, dying at the base of the city wall.

The armored knight smiled under his helmet. That was it. This kind of battle was the battle he was familiar with. Ray guns and the like were just stupid toys!

However, the next moment, Simon once again defended this place personally.

Without waiting for the armored knight to climb up the city wall, Simon chanted earth and stone magic, creating a large piece of stone that smashed directly on the knight.

The knight was knocked off the ladder. Although he failed, he was excited when he fell to the ground due to the magic attack.

"Stop using those toys and start using real magic, Simon. That's all you can do!"

The knight who fell down only fell lightly and was not injured. As long as he climbed up again, he could still fight.

However, the next moment, the stone at his feet suddenly exploded, and the flames mixed with gravel and air waves directly caused the armored knight to lie on the ground.

After the first explosion, there were several consecutive explosions. The sound of ding-dong hit the knight like hail.

When the explosion stopped, the knight was already covered in mud. He struggled to get up from being half-buried alive.

The knight on the front line didn't understand what had just happened. The sudden blow made him dizzy.

But the people at the back could see it very clearly.

Just now, Simon threw some iron cans down from the city wall. Those iron cans were thrown in the areas where the enemies were most concentrated, and then all kinds of magic effects exploded like fireworks.

Half of the heavy knights responsible for the frontal attack were taken away, and the remaining half were all stunned by the explosion.

The next moment, another tin can flew out of Simon's castle. This time, the tin can fell directly into the battle formation of archers and magicians.

"Goddess! This isn't magic!"
