The buff Gorl stabbed his two-handed sword into the ground in front of him and turned around to grab the rope that was as thick as a grown man's arm that was carried by two soldiers.
The rope was emanating a metallic luster, it seemed like the rope was mixed with something other than hemp fiber.
At the other end of the rope was a large, heavy, and sharp hook made of refined iron.
"Hah!"
Gorl cheered as he grabbed the rope.
The next moment, the heavy rope started to spin along with Gorl's wrist, producing a whining noise. When the speed reached a certain limit, Gorl let go of the rope.
Souuu!
Pak!
The rope with the hook on the other end flew out and easily went over the suspension bridge, grabbing onto the wooden planks on the inside of the suspension bridge.
Gorl pulled the rope with all his might and when he realized the rope was taut, he signaled Duke Sergourney beside him.
"Pull!"
The baron roared with a vicious smile.
Right away, the dozen of horses on the other end of the rope started to gallop under the command of the soldiers with their whips.
The heavy rope was taut into a straight line, giving out squeaking noises ceaselessly. The tall suspension bridge was shaking non-stop under the squeaking noises.
Arrows were fired from the opposite tower again.
However, it was useless against the erect shield.
Quite the contrary, it exposed itself.
Souuu!
When another arrow was fired, Gorl who was prepared for it quickly returned the favor.
Everyone could faintly hear the painful cry from the opposite tower.
It made them cry out loudly.
The ruthless expression on their faces grew heavier.
The whole day of ambushes had infuriated the group of soldiers who were as fierce as wolves and tigers. They were eager to tear that damned target into pieces.
Pak, Pak!
The soldier who was holding the whip whipped the warhorse even harder.
Being tied down by the heavy rope, the horses in pain could only dig the ground and move forward.
Bang!
Almost a dozen seconds later, the capstan on the opposite tower flew up into the sky under the brute force. The wobbling suspension bridge fell down in an instant and landed in front of Duke Sergourney, giving out a heavy thud.
Duke Sergourney didn't command his soldiers to charge right away, instead, he bent down to check the suspension bridge.
He stretched out his palm and pressed it on the suspension bridge. Then, he put it under his nose and sniffed.
Immediately, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"Fire oil?"
"Sandbag Toss!"
Duke Sergourney waved his hand behind him.
A dozen uninjured soldiers took down the sandbags hanging on the side of their saddles and threw them towards the bridge.
The sandbag that was sliced open by the sword had not even landed on the bridge yet, and when it landed on the bridge, a thick layer of sand covered the entire bridge.
"Gorl!"
The Baron shouted again.
As the Baron's Knight, Garl immediately carried his two-handed greatsword on his back, raised a shield that was as tall as a human, and led the way.
Three tall soldiers with shields in their hands followed closely behind.
The few of them formed a small shield formation.
The top of his head and the front were protected tightly.
No matter how many arrows were shot down from the tower, they could not stop their advance at all.
"I've said it before. I'll catch you and let you know that offending me will be …"
Under the protection of the remaining soldiers, Duke Sergourney laughed viciously and shouted at the tower in front of him. He wanted the people inside to tremble and live in fear for the rest of their lives.
However, before the Baron could finish his threatening words, he was interrupted.
Sou Sou Sou!
Three consecutive arrows were fired from behind the Baron and accurately pierced the necks of the soldiers on the suspension bridge.
Although they raised their shields up high to protect their heads and the front, they never thought there would be an enemy behind them. They fell from the suspension bridge into the mountain stream with agonizing wails.
The sudden volley of arrows and agonizing wails caused Duke Sergourney to shrink his body and completely hide under the protection of the shields around him. He urged the soldiers beside him to hurry up.
"Quick! Quick! Find out where the enemy is!
Damn that Neet, he can't even do something as simple as this!
Gorl! "
Before his curses subsided, the Baron called out to his Knight again.
However, Gorl was in a difficult spot at the moment.
The arrows that were fired from behind him terrified him and the arrows from the tower were not to be underestimated either. He knew he would be hit if he was not careful enough.
More importantly, there was nowhere for him to dodge the arrows on the narrow suspension bridge.
He picked up a shield that a soldier dropped on the bridge and backed off with one shield in each hand.
He wasn't slow by any means, he was even faster than before.
However, compared to Kieran's sudden attack, it was still too slow.
Wuuu!
A dark red greatsword was swung out from the shadows.
It was like a bloody grim reaper's scythe, slicing through the solid wooden shields that were covered in metal as easily as breaking dry twigs. The shield wielders were also sliced in half along with …
Duke Sergourney who was hiding behind the soldiers!
Puk!
Blood sprayed out like rain. Many bodies that were cut in half fell to the ground.
Some of them who didn't die suffered the most excruciating pain.
They crawled on the ground, dragging their bloody intestines all over the ground.
Duke Sergourney was one of them.
The Baron had never suffered such excruciating pain before, his throat went hoarse after the first wail. He crawled on the ground and crawled forward because of the pain.
Then, he saw his Knight, Gorl.
The Baron raised his hand out of instinct.
"G-Gorl! Save me!"
His voice was still quite clear.
However, the Baron's Knight turned a deaf ear to his pleas.
The man threw the two shields in his hands at Kieran, turned around and ran away.
Without a second thought.
Maybe when Duke Sergourney was still alive, Gorl wouldn't mind serving him but now that Duke Sergourney was dead, Gorl would never accompany him in death.
"Worse comes to worst, I'll just find another noble to serve!
There are plenty of nobles like Sergourney! "
Gorl thought in his heart as he ran.
Then, he realized he was running too fast, as if he was … flying?
Why does that body look so familiar?
It seems to be mine?
The moment the thought rose in Gorl's heart, his consciousness faded away completely.
Kieran grabbed the White Skill Book that had appeared on his body and chased after the soldiers who were scattering like birds and beasts.
After dealing with all the soldiers, Kieran returned to his original spot.
He looked at the dead Duke Sergourney and couldn't help but shake his head.
The Baron was really unpopular.
Before he died, he could still rely on his identity and reputation to command his men.
But once he died, he would lose everything.
Not even a single person was willing to help him take revenge.
After searching the body, Kieran didn't find any useful information. He stood up and went to the end of the drawbridge, looking at the high tower opposite him.
Kieran could clearly feel that there was a pair of eyes watching him from the high tower.
The eyes were filled with vigilance.
"I am 2567, I received a request for help from the owner of Swusters Castle!"
Kieran said.
