Under Berokli City, Gaden had already arrived at the front of the formation. Of course, Matthew had also arrived earlier. He also saw Gaden coming out from the crowd. Knowing that Gaden had something to say, Matthew also stood in front of the city wall.
"Lord Mattheon!" On the other side, Gordon raised his Battle Energy and shouted, "Just like what I said yesterday, His Highness has given us permission to attack. I'm warning you one last time. Open the gates and surrender immediately, and we can still forgive your actions. If you continue, the city will be destroyed!"
"Hehehe …" Mattheon laughed, "Since you already know, I won't hide it anymore. That's right, I have indeed betrayed the Demons. I have also officially announced that I have left the Demons and will once again join the Undead. As for opening the city and surrendering? Of course, that's impossible. If you have the ability, you can fight your way in. "
"Are you sure? Look at the troops behind me! " On the other side, Gordon was also a little angry. He was already very angry about the betrayal, but the other party still dared to speak in such a righteous manner. He waved his hand, and the Devil soldiers behind him also cooperated with him. They directly shouted towards Matthew and the others. Gordon also continued, "There are 72000 troops here. Your city only has 10000 troops at most. How long do you think they can hold on? Or do you think the Undead will come to save you? You probably don't know, but the Undead army is still in their city. They have no intention of coming to save you. We shouldn't waste time. It's good for both of us. "
"I don't want to waste time either. I'll say it again. Either we attack, or we retreat. It's impossible for me to surrender," Mattheon replied firmly.
"If that's the case, there's nothing I can do," Gordon said. "Men, blow the horn. Begin the attack!"
Gaden waved his hand, and the sound of a bugle horn sounded. Immediately, the siege troops on this side carried their siege weapons and began to charge. Mattheon sneered and took a step back. The archers next to him immediately lined up on the city wall, ready to defend the city.
The battle officially began. Because Gaden had already made his preparations, the Nephilim army's siege tools were very complete. Apart from the large catapults, they had ladders and siege vehicles. Since they had the advantage in numbers, the Demons' morale was also very high. Everyone wanted to be the first to attack the city, so they charged very fiercely.
It wasn't just the west gate. When the horn sounded, the Demons at the other three gates of Berokli also attacked. This put a lot of pressure on the defenders. They had to take care of the situation at each gate. As long as they lost one gate, Berokli would fall.
Although Mattheson, who was standing on the city wall, had spoken righteously, he was actually a little worried. Although there were many places, he felt that they could still hold on for a week. Any later than that, and they wouldn't be able to hold on. The enemy had surrounded him from all sides. It was obvious that they didn't want him to escape. Mattheon's only hope was that the 30,000 Undead army would come to his rescue. However, it was impossible for Dennis and Fiona to come to his rescue. They didn't listen to him at all. Now, he could only wait for Li Huailin to arrive in time.
"Your Highness …" Mattheon murmured.
"My Lord, Lord Yaze is back!" While they were fighting, an Undead soldier suddenly rushed to Mattheon's side and reported.
"Call him up," Mattheon said immediately. Matthesun immediately said. He naturally sent Yaze to find Li Huailin, but there was no news. He didn't expect Li Huailin to return just in time.
"My Lord!" His old friend Yaze also hurriedly ran out of the basement of the City Lord's Mansion and reported to Matt and Theon.
"Did you find His Highness?" Mattheon asked.
"This … I'm sorry … My Lord." Yaze said, "I've already gone to the human side to take a look. No one has seen Duke Aquitaine. However, I received news that someone saw Duke Aquitaine in Brasov, the capital of the neutral country."
"Brasov? Isn't that the territory of the Church of Light?" Mattheon asked curiously. "I heard that the relationship between the human royal family and the Church of Light is very tense. Why did His Highness go there?"
"This … this subordinate doesn't know." Yaze also didn't understand. "Of course, I immediately went to Brasov to look for His Highness. However, according to the people there, they saw Duke Aquitaine enter the Church of Light's cathedral. After that, I don't know what happened. I couldn't go there either … Later, I received news that the Demons were attacking, so I could only come back."
"What's the point of coming back?!" Mattheon said, slightly angry. "If you can't find His Highness, the Undead army won't move. Do you think you can change the situation by coming back alone?"
"Of course not," Yaze immediately said. "But … My Lord, it's obvious that the Undead don't want to accept us. We can't find His Highness for the time being. I came back because I want to live and die with you, my Lord."
"I don't want to die now," Mattheon said immediately. "Yaze, I …"
Before Mattheon could finish his words, he suddenly saw a cloud of dust behind the attacking Demons. Mattheon immediately stopped what he was about to say and walked to the top of the city wall to carefully look in that direction.
The Undead soldiers who were defending the city also saw the cloud of dust behind the Demons' army. No matter how they looked at it, it looked like there was an approaching army. Could it be their reinforcements?
Of course, such an obvious situation was also seen by the Demons' army. The troops in the rear immediately reported it to Marshal Gordon who was commanding the attack.
"What? There are troops in the rear?" Gordon was also surprised. "Where did the troops come from?"
The first thing that came to Gordon's mind was the Undead's reinforcements. However, this was impossible. An hour ago, they had reported that the Undead army was in their city. Then, he thought of the human army. After all, this place wasn't very far from the territory of the Li Ren Family. If they hurried, they could reach it in two days. Moreover, the human race and the Undead were now in a quasi-alliance. It wasn't impossible for the human race to help the Undead. However, after thinking about it, he immediately felt that it was impossible. They were also monitoring the human army at all times. As soon as they left the camp, they should have received the news immediately.
"What army is it?" Gordon personally stood on a high ground, trying to see clearly. However, he could only see the cloud of dust behind them. The army was too far away to see.
"Marshal!" A Demons rushed up from the rear and said, "Reporting to Marshal, there is a cavalry unit in the rear!"
"Cavalry?" Gordon was a little surprised. It was actually a cavalry unit. Of course, at this time, he was leaning towards the human army. After all, the human cavalry was very famous, and the Undead almost didn't have any cavalry.
"The number of troops is about 1,000," the Demons continued to report.
"1,000 … hmm … eh?" Gordon didn't react at first, but when he came back to his senses, he felt that something was wrong. "Wait a minute. How many did you say just now?"
"About a thousand cavalrymen," the demon soldier reported again.
"1,000? What are they doing here? " Gordon was stunned for a long time. That's right, there are only 1,000 cavalrymen. It's no wonder I didn't discover them when I scouted them. It's indeed very difficult to detect such a small force in advance. Even though I didn't manage to detect them, why would a mere 1,000 cavalrymen fight against an army of 70,000? Who would have thought of that?
"Your Highness! It's the Undead Cavalry of the Undead. " Immediately, another Demons rushed up from the rear and reported, "I didn't see any flags. I don't know which side they are from."
"Who cares which side they are from?" Gordon was a little careless when he heard that there were only 1,000 cavalry. "It's probably Matthew's harassment troops that were lying in ambush outside the city in advance. Their purpose is to attack when we attack the city and destroy our siege equipment. Don't worry."
Knowing that the other side only had 1,000 cavalry, Gordon also began to respond. Since it was a siege, he didn't have many cavalry troops with him. After thinking for a moment, Gordon said, "The third and fourth squads, turn back and block the cavalry coming from behind. Delay the attack in the front and focus on defending our siege equipment to prevent them from being burned down."
"Yes, Marshal," the soldier next to him immediately replied.
"Also, the Eleventh and Thirteenth Archer Squads should turn around and shoot at the enemy's cavalry to reduce their numbers. However, don't chase after them. Let them harass us. Every time they get close, we'll shower them with arrows," Gordon said.
"Yes, Marshal."
Gordon's arrangement was pretty good. 6,000 infantrymen and 6,000 archers were assigned to defend against the harassment from the cavalry at the rear. This was definitely enough. Under normal circumstances, the cavalry wouldn't be able to do anything. If they wanted to advance, they would be stopped by the infantrymen. If they wanted to harass the enemy, they would be shot down by the archers. They would be stuck between a rock and a hard place. However, this was only under normal circumstances. The leader of the cavalry on this side was Li Huailin.
At this time, Li Huailin led the three Undead Lords in front of the Undead cavalry at the rear. Seeing that the Demons had begun to mobilize, Li Huailin pulled out the Dim Light from his bag and shouted to the cavalry behind him, "Everyone, follow me. I'll lead you and send them flying."
"Roar!" All the Undead soldiers roared in unison. Even now, not many soldiers believed that 1,000 soldiers could win against 70,000 soldiers. However, since they were already following him, they didn't care about life or death. They would kill to their heart's content first.
