Earthquake?
Not only Nord, but also other soldiers stopped. Everyone was frightened by the sudden noise. At this moment, the battlefield on the wall was surprisingly quiet. Everyone seemed to be guessing what had just happened.
The enemy who was still fighting with blood one second ago suddenly stopped the next second. The expression on his face was a little frightened in doubt, as if they were frightened by the huge sound just now, when everyone listened to where the sound came from.
Dong!
There was another loud noise, which was felt by everyone. The wall under his feet did vibrate slightly, and the sound came from the gate not far from his feet. He just didn't know what happened at the gate, just when Nord was confused.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
The deafening sound began to become continuous, and the vibration could be obviously felt on the wall. The faces of the soldiers who stopped fighting on the wall showed a look of panic. Even the mood of fighting was gone. Even these knights could not stop them if they wanted to run down the wall immediately.
Although the soldiers of Nord's army also had a very frightened expression, when they saw that Nord was still standing beside them, these soldiers forced themselves to be calm and waited for Nord's orders. Nord didn't know what the situation was, so he didn't order to pursue the enemies who escaped from the wall.
Although I don't know what happened, it seems that I have captured the city wall, because after the ordinary soldiers in the East began to withdraw, I saw the unstoppable Knights also withdraw, that is, Nord suddenly occupied the city wall, and now only Nord's soldiers are left on the city wall
Nord slowly approached the wall for two steps and wanted to probe to see what happened below. Then, Nord, who had just poked his head out, was frightened by what he saw. Nord really didn't expect this to happen.
Not long after Nord led his troops to the city wall, he sat on the ground with a big iron rod in his right hand. He was bored watching the battle on the city wall and listening to the shouting and killing from the city wall. Aru's eyes were full of desire and desire for battle.
"Why are you left behind by Nord, and you can't fight on the wall?"
Suddenly, ARU faced the equally bored crossbow soldiers and said that they could not design at will because of the scuffle on the wall, so Nord asked them to stand by under the wall. These long-range troops and reserves could not go up until Nord gave orders.
Moreover, the long-range force is still behind the reserve team. Although it is possible that the current close combat capability of the long-range force is a little stronger than that of the reserve team, Nord doesn't want these archers and crossbow soldiers who Nord has worked hard to upgrade to fight fiercely with the enemy.
If the pursuit war like before, or the surprise attack on the enemy's back row is OK, if they are really allowed to carry out a cruel and bloody siege, Nord will certainly not do it. Melee melee is not their task, and remote output is their place of use.
So these archers and crossbow soldiers can only watch the battle on the city wall with Nord. They understand that the battle on the city wall has little to do with them. Even they are eager to fight with the soldiers on the city wall.
"Yes, we are not fit to fight on the city wall, and so are you, Lord Aru."
A crossbow soldier beside Aru answered his question, and the identity of the crossbow soldier was not general, because only he dared to stand beside Aru. It can be seen from the coat of arms on his leather armor that the crossbow soldier should be the captain of the crossbow squadron.
"What's your name?"
When he heard someone around him answer himself, ARU took a surprised look at the soldier. Usually, these soldiers are very afraid of Aru and hide away when they meet him. Only Lehman and other people who often deal with Aru know that Aru is very gentle and is quite different from his killing in the battlefield.
"My name is Julian. I'm the captain of the crossbow squadron under Lord Lehman."
Julian was a guard whom Nord had met before. Nord probably didn't expect that the little soldier at that time had been promoted to squadron leader and commanded more than 50 soldiers, but Nord was very optimistic about this soldier at that time.
Because he was able to narrate things in an orderly manner when facing Nord, Nord thought that as long as he was not killed on the battlefield, he would be able to achieve certain achievements in the future. Just like now, Julian has been promoted to a squadron commander without Nord's attention for a long time.
"Hello, Julian. My name is Aru. Nice to meet you. We will be friends in the future."
Aru then stretched out his big hand to Julian, just like Nord's deep hand to Aru. From then on, ARU shook hands with every friend he knew, as if he had really become a friend after shaking hands, but Aru believed it, because Nord did so.
Watching Aru stretch out some huge hands, Julian's heart was still a little nervous, because he had seen them on the battlefield. They waved big iron bars and killed the enemy. However, looking at Aru's sincere eyes, Julian did not hesitate to stretch out his hands and hold them. Then Julian's first reaction was.
How big!
Calluses!
Julian felt that Aru's hands were very rough, like the skin of an old tree, with a thick layer of calluses and extremely strong. Aru quickly stretched back his hands because Aru was afraid of hurting Julian.
Because once Marco died. When Aru shook hands with him, he squeezed Aru's hand. Then Aru tried a little hard, Marco jumped half a meter high, and his hands were red and swollen for more than half a month.
Although Marco asked for it, ARU felt guilty for a long time. He thought he had hurt his friends. He didn't come out of his guilt until Nord and Marco comforted Aru for many days in turn. Later, ARU was careful in his contact with others for fear that he might hurt them by carelessness.
"I am also honored to be your friend, Lord Aru."
"Julian, my friend, can you find a way to get me to fight without being blamed by Nord?"
Aru said in a low voice. At this time, ARU became a little shrewd. Although he wouldn't find a way, he knew to find help from others, because Nord told him that friends should help each other.
Julian frowned when he heard Aru's question. In fact, Julian had thought about it before Aru asked him, because he didn't want to watch Nord and others fighting on the wall under the city, but Nord said that without his command, all long-range troops could not go up the wall. Julian looked behind him and immediately, His eyes lit up.
