Chapter 643: Chapter 233: Facing the Enemy (10,000 Words)

A clear smile emerged on the faces of Banaby and Theodore.

The cavalry bearing shields attracted all the archers’ arrows and attacks from rolling wood and stones.

Now, only the light infantry without armor needed to transport the cloud ladder to the edge of the castle wall and set it up.

The soldiers waiting in hiding at the corner of the castle could then use the cloud ladder to climb up to the castle wall!

Seeing the dense mass of soldiers surrounding the gate of the Frank Manor Castle until it was impenetrable.

Banaby couldn’t help but praise, "Still, it’s the foresight of the Theodore Manor Lord!"

"If it were me, I would never have thought of a coordinated attack by cavalry and infantry."

Theodore smiled calmly, "Lord Banaby, you’re too kind."

"What foresight do I have?"

"This siege tactic was simply something I read in some books."

"It just happened to be useful now."

Saying this, Theodore’s gaze shifted to Will Arnold next to him.

He spoke, "The main reason we can attack the Frank Manor today is the function of Lord Will."

"Otherwise, relying on the power of our two estates alone, we might not be a match for Frank Manor!"

Banaby also glanced at Will and agreed, "Exactly!"

"Lord Will, you can rest assured."

"I, Banaby, can promise you that if we conquer Frank Manor."

"Regardless of whose losses are greatest among the three parties, we shall only take a share."

Will looked at the two, replying, "Thank you, Manor Lords."

Banaby and Theodore couldn’t help but laugh.

Banaby looked at the guard beside him and instructed, "Go tell everyone!"

"The first ones to climb will be rewarded with ten gold pounds, two maids, and a thousand pounds of barley!"

The guard raised an eyebrow and quickly responded, "Yes, Master!"

With a sudden squeeze of the horse’s belly, riding the horse.

Running while loudly calling out to the soldiers ahead who were attacking.

"Relay the message from Lord Banaby Manor."

"The first ones to climb will be rewarded with ten gold pounds, two maids, a thousand pounds of barley, and a house!"

"The first ones to climb will be rewarded with ten gold pounds, two maids, a thousand pounds of barley, and a house!"

"The first ones to climb will be rewarded with ten gold pounds, two maids, a thousand pounds of barley, and a house!"

...

Nearly hysterical shouts erupted from the guard’s mouth.

Transmitted into the ears of all the soldiers of the Three Great Estates attacking the castle.

Originally tense and solemn, they suddenly brightened their eyes.

Gold pounds, women, food, houses!

As long as they climb first, they can get it!

The light infantry carrying the cloud ladder accelerated their pace.

They shouted in unison, "First to climb! First to climb! First to climb!"

On the castle wall.

Hearing these shouts, Joao’s gaze suddenly looked over.

Seeing the cloud ladders being carried over, his eyes gathered.

Shouting at nearly a hundred archers, "Target, the light infantry carrying the cloud ladder! Fire!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

As the archers shot arrows continuously, a series of whooshing sounds rose uninterrupted.

Arrows pierced through the air, drawing arcs and hitting the bodies of the light infantry precisely.

Without metal armor for defense, clothed only in leather or cloth armor, the light infantry.

Under the archers’ fire, they were but moving targets!

One after another, bodies loosened the grip on the cloud ladder and fell to the ground.

But the idle light infantry beside them quickly made up for it.

They naturally feared the arrows hitting them.

But as soldiers and guards of the Manor Lords, this was their fate.

Even knowing death was certain, all they could do was crouch lower and run faster...

Swish swish swish~

After body after body fell, the cloud ladders were finally set up on the castle walls.

The shield soldiers hiding at the corner of the castle were full of rage.

Almost without any reminders, they immediately rushed towards the cloud ladder.

Holding the shield fixed to their left arm tightly, right hand gripping the steps, they climbed towards the castle wall.

On the castle wall.

Joao clearly saw the seven or eight cloud ladders.

He hurriedly ordered his soldiers, "Everyone, push away the cloud ladders in front of you!"

"Quick! Quick! Quick!"

"Yes!"

Following Joao’s orders, a group of soldiers quickly brought lengths of raw wood several meters long.

Pressing against the top of the cloud ladders, they used great force to push them outward from the castle walls.

With this power, the cloud ladders with four or five soldiers just starting to climb were pushed backward.

Losing their climbing angle, the soldiers fell from two meters high.

The five or six-meter high cloud ladder toppled, crushing the bodies of six or seven soldiers below, eliciting painful cries.

But there were still five or six cloud ladders with soldiers from the Three Great Estates climbing up the castle walls.

Due to the large number of climbing soldiers, it was difficult for the ten-odd men on the wall to push away the set cloud ladders!

Watching the soldiers of the Three Great Estates holding shields and climbing up on the cloud ladders.

Joao shouted, "Pine resin oil!"

"Where’s the pine resin oil?"

"Hurry and bring it over!"

A dozen meters behind Joao.

The captain responsible for transporting pine resin oil back from the warehouse quickly responded loudly, "Mister Joao, the pine resin oil is here."
