Looking at the spear and shield formation placed at the entrance to the castle, John Senior felt a great headache.
This kind of dense formation was most suitable for defending places with narrow terrain. Very few people could get through at once, and the other side had large square shields that were almost unaffected by long-range bows and arrows.
"Dogsh * t!" John Senior cursed in an extremely inelegant manner. "Charge up and kill them."
In this case, they could only do it the hard way.
The shieldmen of Delpon immediately raised their shields and stepped forward. They walked side by side, covering themselves and their comrades well.
A team of spearmen followed right behind them.
It wasn't that they didn't want more people, but the entrance to the castle wasn't wide, and only four people could walk side by side at the same time.
Four shieldbearers walked over with heavy steps. They were wearing heavy armor and holding iron shields.
On the beggar army's side, the soldiers held large wooden square shields and wore light leather armor … It couldn't be helped. Even though Hawk and the others had anticipated today's events and prepared in advance, they still didn't get enough weapons and armor.
It was already quite an impressive feat for them to be able to forge a hundred or so iron spears by themselves in such a short time.
The soldiers in the spear and shield formation had somewhat heavy expressions. If the other side's shieldmen came over just like that, after a stalemate for a while, it would definitely be the beggar army that would suffer.
In a place like this, it depended on whose morale was higher, who was braver, and who had better equipment. The beggar army's equipment was too poor.
Although the spear and shield formation was difficult to take down, they had several times the number of people on their side and were better equipped. John Senior felt that if they spent some time, they could always wipe out these rebels.
Just as he was thinking this, Lynk, who had been staying behind the spear and shield formation, suddenly moved.
He jumped up, leaped over the square formation, and smashed right into the enemy's square formation.
The violent shock wave sent the people around him flying. He smiled sweetly, then, with himself as the center, snatched the giant sword in his hand.
One lap, two laps, three laps, sand and stones flying.
The giant sword wasn't sharpened, and wherever it passed, all the soldiers were smashed away, and as long as they were touched by the giant sword, they were either dead or maimed.
After five laps in a row, Lynk stopped.
The Warrior turned long, and Whirlwind Slash followed by Momentum Slash.
There was no one alive within four meters of him.
The few shieldmen at the front were lucky enough to survive because their attack range wasn't high enough.
They turned around and did not attack Link.
Instead, he threw away the shield in his hand, raised his hands, and walked to the side, trembling in fear.
Only an idiot would fight with such a profession.
When John saw this, he turned and asked John Junior, "Didn't you say that Link and Hawk aren't very strong?"
"He really isn't that strong." John Junior swallowed and said, "Half a year ago, they could've been killed by five or six well-coordinated soldiers. Their only advantage was nothing more than resurrection from the Church of Life."
"What's going on now?" Old John pointed at Link, who was standing in a pool of blood.
"I don't know either. It doesn't make sense for him to become so strong in half a year."
This was mainly because Hawk and Link hadn't shown their strength in public since half a year ago.
But in reality, while the two of them were building the dock, they were also looking for System Quests to complete so that they could quickly level up.
This was something neither John Junior nor John Senior could think of or understand.
Link stood in a pool of blood, thrusting his greatsword into the ground, then he leaned on the blade of the greatsword and smiled. "Mr. John Senior, I still suggest that you consider our opinion."
"Impossible, despicable robbers!"
John Senior snorted coldly and waved his hand, motioning for the army to press forward again, but this time a few young officers followed into the ranks. These young officers, all professionals, might not be of a higher level than Link, but they could still be a hindrance to him to a certain extent.
The heavy infantry regrouped once more and continued to press forward in neat steps.
And the archers were already drawing their bows and nocking arrows in the rear.
Link immediately retreated and soon hid behind the spear and shield formation, shouting from a distance, "Old Mayor, now that your wife and daughter are in our hands, aren't you afraid that we'll do something irrational with you being so forceful?"
The mayor's wife and youngest daughter, who were on a balcony very close to the castle, were trembling and looking at John Senior with pleading and expectant eyes when they heard this.
John Senior, on the other hand, didn't even look at them and continued to make the gesture of pressing forward.
John Junior's eyes showed that he couldn't bear it, but he still didn't say anything.
Seeing that her husband and son completely disregarded her own life and death, the mayor's wife on the balcony froze for a moment, then revealed a bitter smile of resignation.
The moment she was captured, she knew that this would be the case.
There was no kinship or love between nobles, only naked interest. She understood it long ago.
Her youngest daughter, on the other hand, kept crying. Until now, she couldn't understand why her father and brother were unwilling to save her and her mother.
It was obvious that they just had to agree to the robbers' conditions.
Anyway, it was just losing some money, and they could earn it back in the future.
The archers completed the first volley from a distance, but the effect was not great. Although the beggar army was holding wooden shields, they had no problem using them to block arrows.
After a wave of arrows rained down, only one of the beggar army was hit, and the rest of the arrows were blocked by the shields of the phalanx.
Just as the archers were about to launch a second volley, a small group of a dozen or so people suddenly charged out from the side.
The leader was impressively Jett.
His whole body emitted a green light, an external manifestation of the Goddess of Life's buff divine spell. Then, he roared angrily and led the small team towards the archers.
John Senior snorted coldly. "Although most archers are indeed not good at close combat, how can a hundred or so people be defeated by a dozen people …"
Before he finished speaking, he was shocked to see Jett charge into the archer formation like a fierce tiger and start a massacre.
The small hammer swung down, and white brains splattered, or a large dent could be seen in the iron helmets, and then the enemy's eyes rolled back and they fell to the ground.
And all the attacks were blocked by his small round shield.
Then a dozen beggar soldiers followed, also rushing into the archer formation, and started a massacre.
The archer formation soon collapsed, and deserters began to appear. Two young officers shouted to stop them, but to no avail.
"These filthy beggars, untouchables!"
John Senior went berserk with anger.
Normally, he would have left an infantry unit to guard the archers, but now he had made one wrong step, and every step was wrong. He was completely led by the nose, unable to advance or retreat, and had even forgotten to arrange such a simple thing.
Lynk saw Jett rush out, and he took the lead, charging into the enemy, and at the same time roared, "All troops, charge!
The spear and shield formation immediately disbanded, and the soldiers roared as they followed.
It wasn't over yet. At the end of the road, there was another group of people galloping over.
Running at the front was Hawk, whose entire body was muscular like an orc.
John Senior looked at the castle, then behind him … and laughed in a daze.
