  After Russ's crazy arrow tower still stands on the edge of the city wall, his task seems to be unfinished, but seeing the very confident smile on his face, his comrades are all very puzzled. However, there is no more time to listen to his explanation now, because the soldiers of the Caesar Empire have charged again at the foot of the city wall.

  Another dense rain of arrows, the guards on the city wall fell in a large area, their bodies covered with arrow shafts. The enemy army below began to shout frantically, with great momentum, and the attacking soldiers accelerated their pace. The soldiers on the city wall seemed to be intimidated by this wave after wave of arrow rain, and they didn't dare to show their heads on the city wall anymore.

  "Charge!" The enemy army began a frantic charge, the long siege ladders were once again erected on top of the arrow towers, while dozens of other ladders were scattered along the city walls. Meanwhile, hundreds of enemy cavalrymen also crossed the moat and launched a massive assault on the city walls, their advance heading straight for the combined arrow tower slopes.

  "Caesar's army is indeed formidable, sacrificing so many soldiers just to let the cavalry corps successfully break into the border city tower. Their strategist is also extremely formidable, heh heh, unfortunately for them, they encountered me, heh heh!" Rayne once again understood the enemy's intentions through the surveillance hole in the city wall.

  "Three, two, one! Prepare to attack! Release the arrows, throw the fire torches, and get the catapults ready for concentrated fire! Soldiers, give it your all, fight, fight..." Rayn stood on the castle wall's battlements, waving his military sword and issuing orders.

  At this time, the enemy's arrow rain had stopped, which was also why Lain dared to stand on the city wall. The enemy's attack was very regular, because a large number of arrows formed an arrow rain that consumed arrows particularly greatly. When the arrows were shot out, they could only wait.

  The soldiers on the city wall stood in a dense line, bows and arrows, flaming wooden stakes, giant stones and so on were all thrown at the enemy army attacking the city. Rus and several soldiers held thick ropes in their hands, pulled hard, and ran to both sides respectively.

  "Whoa!" A loud crash, the iron arrow towers that were combined together suddenly scattered in all directions, falling to the ground and crushing many soldiers of the Kais Empire, the cavalry's horses had just charged halfway when they were violently thrown down, causing hundreds of cavalrymen to fall off their horses one after another, the enemy suffered another defeat.

  "Haha, how's it going?" Rus swung his military sword in his hand, smiling triumphantly.

  "Wow, how can your saber cut through iron like mud?" Reid and Dakot both looked at him curiously, their eyes fixed on the black saber in his hand, with a look of envy and greed on their faces, as if they were about to...

  "Go, go, go! Don't touch my sword! You two, stop staring and hurry up with the arrows!" Rus turned a stern eye on them, quickly striding over to the fallen soldiers, where he began searching intently. Another forty or fifty men were doing the same, as if pulling something from the corpses.

  Isn't it a bit too cruel? These soldiers have already died, must their arrows be pulled out to kill the enemy?

  The fallen soldiers wore tattered military uniforms, and their faces were all covered with straw.

  The soldiers standing on the city wall earlier were actually all scarecrows wearing soldier uniforms, waving about.

  "Haha, Captain's move is really awesome! We don't have to rush to make bows and arrows now. Those arrowheads that were shot onto the city wall are all damaged and can't be used. Now we're saved from this urgent situation!"

  "What kind of person is the captain?"

  "It's just..."

  “……”

  "Shut up, no more nonsense! Did you hear me?" Captain Rus said with a huff, and the scene fell silent instantly. Even Reed and Dakot, who loved to talk and laugh, closed their mouths at this time.

  Rein commanded the soldiers to launch a frenzied attack, with bows and arrows, wooden stakes, giant rocks, plus catapults, beating the enemy into a state of utter defeat.

  "Waaaahhhhhh..."

  "Victory! The army of the Kais Empire has retreated."

  "We won!"

  “……”

  The soldiers on the city wall cheered, waving their weapons in hand, some excitedly embracing each other. The army of over 100,000 had retreated after repeated attacks failed to yield results. In fact, they had only retreated a mile away, but this was enough to make these soldiers cheer endlessly.

  Especially those soldiers from the 'cannon fodder' military camp, were excited to the point of madness, because they were all first-time soldiers on the battlefield. Before going into battle, General Robert had promised that if the enemy retreated one mile, they would gain their freedom and become real soldiers, no longer 'cannon fodder' soldiers, which was also the main reason for their excitement.

  Actually, think about it, the current situation is that as ordinary soldiers, they also have to charge and defend the border. But they didn't consider so much, just excited, thrilled, and crazy for their newly gained temporary freedom.

  The Imperial Army lost more than 4,000 soldiers and finally left the moat area, camping in the plain area one mile away, waiting for the siege on the second day.

  In the general's tent, good news came one after another. General Robert was overjoyed and his face lit up with a smile. His mood lifted and his body regained its strength, looking much better than before, no longer like someone who was ill.

  "Marvelous! The Grass Soldiers borrowed arrows, truly marvelous! How come I didn't think of that?!" General Robert scratched his head, listening to the report from the soldier, and jumped up excitedly.

  "Father, take care of your body!" Yulia said with a bit of worry beside him. Since the siege began, she had been accompanying her father in the military camp and hadn't left his side for a moment.

  "Julia, I didn't expect Rain Green to be a newcomer, haha! I really didn't expect it!" Robert said excitedly again.

  "He's changed so much, I'm almost afraid to recognize him. Just a few months ago, I still heard news about him." Yulia said with a worried expression, smoothing her hair in front of her forehead.

  "Haha, I didn't expect you, my daughter, to still care about him so much! Haha! I really didn't think of that! If that old Green knew his son was so promising, what would he think?" Robert said this, and tears streamed down his face.

  "Father, don't be sad. Let's not mention the Green family here either. Several of your deputies were sent from the palace, we must be more careful." Julia comforted him.

  "My daughter, I know that for the past ten years, when have I ever had a good night's sleep? I've always been thinking about you all. Unfortunately, your two brothers are not making any effort, but it doesn't matter, after all, I still have you, my clever and capable daughter, haha, this is enough to satisfy me as a father!" Robert let out a long sigh, and once again, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

  At this time, there were only two people left in the camp, the father and daughter. The soldier who had brought the news had long since departed.

  "Julia, bring Rain here tonight, be careful! Do you understand?" General Robert suddenly said in a low voice.

  "Father, I understand. I will definitely bring him back!" Although Yulia had doubts in her heart, as a soldier, she knew how to carry out the orders of her superiors, which was also why her father appreciated her so much.
