Although the Brain Hunters looked very disgusting and their skin was yellow in color and looked like a brain, the material of their skin was really good. It could almost be compared to dragon skin. The dragon skin here was not the skin of a lesser dragon, but the skin of a true giant dragon.
"It's a pity that the Magic Energy Particle Railgun was too ruthless! Half of the Brain Hunter's body was damaged. Otherwise, it would be more than enough to make a wizard robe. "Hathaway looked at the Brain Hunter's body with some regret.
The Brain Hunter's body was not small, but it had tentacles, eyes, and a sac that stored its brain. Its intact skin was very limited, and most of it was damaged. There was not much that could be used.
The skin could be made into leather armor, and the Brain Hunter's eyes were also good stuff. They were the part of the Brain Hunter's body that emitted energy. It had high spiritual resistance and magic power, so it could be used to make offensive or defensive items. The other parts could be used to make many items. Basically, this Brain Hunter's body could be used to its fullest potential.
While Suhlen and Hathaway were making magic items in the Northwind Tower, Alex and Karina led their men to the northwest of San Felto City. The Marquis of Savoy was currently confronting the few rebellious nobles.
Kaman Mountain Pass could be said to be easy to defend and hard to attack. The narrowest part was 150 meters, and the path was rugged. In such a place, it was impossible to use one's strength. Even if the Marquis of Savoy brought ten thousand elites, it would be useless. As for the Marquis of Savoy, although he could charge up the city wall, he would not be able to gain a foothold. As a legendary knight, Savoy could not fly, so the wizards could exhaust him with flying spells.
The Marquis of Savoy had been trapped here for an entire month. Of course, even if they could not break through the pass, the rebellious army did not dare to fight back. Once they left the pass, even with the help of the few high-grade wizards, the Marquis of Savoy was confident that he could defeat them. However, the rebellious army did not respond at all. No matter how much the Marquis of Savoy yelled and threatened, they would not fight.
It was obvious that they were going to wear them out. They were backed by the territory and had an abundance of food and resources. The rations that the Marquis of Savoy's army could only be transported from other places. If this continued, the Marquis of Savoy would not be willing to seek help from Suhlen.
For the Marquis of Savoy, who had just joined Suhlen, failing his first mission would directly affect his importance in Suhlen's heart. After struggling for a long time, he finally asked for help from Suhlen.
Alex and Karina moved quickly. It only took them two days to reach Kaman Mountain Pass. They then went straight to the main camp of the Marquis of Savoy.
"Sir Marquis, there are two wizards who said they were sent by His Majesty to see you." Just as Savoy was having a headache over how to break through the Kaman Pass and pacify the rebellious nobles, a personal guard hurried in to report.
"Sorcerer sent by His Majesty? Invite him in! "Savoy's eyes flashed with joy. The guard turned around and was about to leave, but the Marquis of Savoy stopped him. "Forget it. I'll go greet them myself!"
"Sir, you are the commander of an army. How can you greet them yourself?" The guard tried to persuade him.
"Alright, no need to persuade me anymore. I know what I'm doing." The Marquis waved his hand.
Then, he personally led a group of people to welcome Alex, Karina, and the others. At the same time, he ordered his men to prepare a welcome banquet.
"Marquis of Savoy, there's no need to prepare. The situation is urgent. "Alex said," His Majesty Suhlen sent us here as soon as he received your request for help. How strong are the enemies? "
"Your Excellencies, I'll get straight to the point." The Marquis of Savoy smiled awkwardly and said, "The Kaman Pass is in a unique location. The rebels have built a fortress at the narrowest part of the pass. With our strength, we could have won even in this terrain. At most, we would have lost a few soldiers. However, the rebels have sent five high-grade wizards. Our soldiers are no match for them. Even when I personally led an attack, it was stopped by them."
"As long as you can help me deal with or delay those five high-grade wizards, I have full confidence that we can break through this pass!" The Marquis of Savoy said without hesitation.
"Five high-grade wizards, right? Are you sure they only have a few wizards here? "Alex asked.
"I'm sure, Your Excellency. If they had more wizards, they would have launched a counterattack long ago instead of wasting their time here." The Marquis of Savoy nodded.
"That's good. Bring your men and continue attacking the city tomorrow. As for those wizards, leave them to me and Karina," Alex said.
"Alright!" Hearing Alex's promise, the Marquis of Savoy was overjoyed. He had been stuck here for an entire month. He had to eliminate the rebels as soon as possible to maintain his position in front of Suhlen.
The next morning, before the sun had even risen. There was movement in the army to quell the rebellion. Troops quickly gathered after breakfast. Some of these troops were the private soldiers of the Marquis of Savoy, while others were the troops of the nobles under him. There were also some mercenaries who had come to seek refuge with him.
The entire army took half an hour to gather. They then began to enter the Kaman Pass in batches. The Kaman Pass was shaped like an hourglass. It was wide in two sections and narrowed as one went in. Finally, it was only a hundred and fifty meters wide in the middle of the pass. Now, this passage was blocked by a twenty-meter tall wall. On both sides of the wall were steep cliffs that ordinary people couldn't climb.
The rebels had already received the news and were ready for the Marquis of Savoy's army to attack.
Looking at the mottled brown marks on the wall, the Marquis of Savoy's face turned cold. Those marks were the bloodstains left behind by the deaths of his soldiers. They had already turned dark brown.
The thick smell of blood in front of the fortress couldn't be dispersed even by the biting wind. The north wind whistled, bringing with it a bone-piercing chill. It was now winter. The Marquis of Savoy had to break through this place before the first snow of the year. Then, he would occupy a city. Otherwise, the biting cold of winter would severely reduce the number of his troops.
It was already nine in the morning. Seeing that the army was ready, the Marquis of Savoy didn't hesitate to give the order to attack the city. After fighting a few times, the Marquis of Savoy had already probed the enemy's strength. After having the mercenaries as the vanguard, he arranged for the elite troops to follow.
The Marquis of Savoy wore an excellent knight's plate armor. He pointed his sword and said, "All troops, attack!"
The battle reached its climax as soon as it started. The army carried the ladders and watchtowers, braving the rain of arrows as they advanced quickly. One soldier after another climbed the ladders skillfully to attack the fortress. On the other hand, the soldiers on the city wall pushed down the scaling ladders and the watchtowers slowly advanced. These watchtowers, which were taller than the city wall, were filled with archers. When they arrived at the predetermined location, they immediately launched a rain of arrows to suppress the enemy.
After gaining the upper hand, the archers on the walls were immediately suppressed. But soon, the rebels mobilized even more archers to counterattack. The space in the watchtowers was limited, so naturally, they couldn't compare to the number of archers on the walls. They used fire arrows. Even if the watchtowers were covered in cowhide to prevent fire, they were still set ablaze by the large number of fire arrows.
The watchtower was ablaze, and the archers and soldiers on top of it ran down in fear. Some even jumped down directly from the watchtower. However, most people would be injured if they jumped down from a watchtower that was more than 20 meters high. Some unlucky fellows were burned to death by the flames.
The sound of fighting filled the entire valley, and the smell of blood was nauseating. One watchtower was burned, but even more watchtowers were pushed up. Under the all-out attack, the rebels on the walls were completely suppressed.
Seeing more and more soldiers climb up the walls, the rebels finally couldn't sit still. One by one, the high-ranking knights began to act. Under the leadership of these knights, the rebels quickly stabilized their position and repelled the first wave of attacks.
Seeing this, the Marquis of Savoy wasn't surprised. After reorganizing the army, the second wave of attacks began. He personally led a team of high-ranking knights to attack.
Even more siege weapons launched their attacks. The catapults continuously shot out fireballs, igniting a large number of siege weapons.
"Archers, Far Shot!"
A warrior in full armor drew his sword and shouted. His whole body was covered in armor, and his head was covered with a steel mask. Only his cold and sharp eyes could be seen. Following his order, the archers on the watchtower all nocked their arrows and nocked their arrows. One by one, the bows were pulled back to their maximum.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dull sound of bowstrings being released rang out. Black clouds rose from the watchtowers and fell on the walls. After these arrows flew to the highest point, they fell at an even faster speed. A large number of rebels in leather armor were shot by these arrows, turning them into porcupines.
At the same time, more archers began to counterattack under the cover of their shields. Some heavily armored and shield-wielding soldiers quickly ran up the cloud ladder. These soldiers were nimble and quickly climbed up into the air. The soldiers on the city wall raised their flying stones and smashed them down. A soldier who couldn't dodge in time fell down from the ladder that was more than ten meters high.
The high-ranking knights were like monkeys, jumping to the top of the ladder in a few jumps. Then, they jumped a few meters into the air and directly jumped onto the walls. They swung their swords and killed a few rebels around them. The high-ranking knights in the back quickly climbed up the walls and quickly opened up a place to rest. The soldiers in the back continued to rush up the ladder.
At this moment, the high-ranking knights of the rebel army led their men to launch a counterattack. The narrow city wall became extremely chaotic. Every second, someone was killed. Due to the disadvantage in numbers, the Savoy army was constantly pushed back. It looked like they were about to be chased down the walls again. At this moment, a tall figure jumped down from the ladder. The sharp sword in his hand carried a biting cold wind and instantly killed a knight. It was the Marquis of Savoy.
