Chapter 48: Crazy Action

  The Imperial Army of Kaisar was subjected to a hail of arrows from the soldiers of the Empire of Castor as they attempted to land at Shallow Ford, and the numerous wooden stakes set up in the shallow water prevented their ships from approaching the shore, resulting in heavy casualties during the landing.

  As the crazy Caesar Empire soldiers arrived at the front line of defense in Haigou Valley, they faced a defensive formation formed by more than 10,000 Castel Empire soldiers, all holding shields and long spears, waiting for them.

  The crossbow and the reinforced type of siege crossbow became the main weapons of the Caesar Empire soldiers, and the advantage of the Castel Empire soldiers no longer existed. The Caesar Empire soldiers advanced frantically forward, especially those pirates, who shouted loudly and launched a frenzied attack.

  Underestimating the power of Caesar's army, the Imperial soldiers at the forefront suffered a crushing defeat, losing key terrain but still putting up a stubborn resistance.

  The reinforced trebuchet, made in imitation of the crossbow craftsmanship, had a power that was not ordinary. The large arrows disrupted the defensive phalanx formation of the Imperial soldiers at the forefront, causing heavy casualties and extremely fierce and cruel fighting.

  "Whoosh, whoosh......" The soldiers on the city wall of Guanzhong were still shooting wave after wave of crossbow arrows to block Caesar's army, without regard for their own lives.

  The soldiers of the Kastor Empire on the front lines also suffered, not only having to fight fiercely with the Caesar's army, but also being constantly on guard against the hail of arrows in the sky. War is cruel and merciless, after fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties, especially the soldiers of the Kastor Empire, who were left with almost no survivors after the intense battle, with over 10,000 soldiers lost.

  However, at this time, Rayn led the soldiers to wave their shields and hold the Rayn military knife, still fighting crazily. They formed a defensive formation, retreating while fighting, killing enemies frantically, doing their best to stop the enemy's attack.

  The hail of arrows from the soldiers on the city wall halted Caesar's army's offensive, and for the moment the soldiers below were out of danger.

  Caesar's army began to assemble quickly in the front-line positions, with cavalry, crossbowmen, archers and heavy infantry forming different phalanxes, making preparations for the siege.

  "Open the gate!" The soldiers were shouting frantically at the foot of the city wall, but the gate didn't budge.

  The loss of the forward position at Haigateri made General Bader furious, and he was so angry that he didn't care about the lives of those soldiers and never gave the order to open the city gate.

  "General Bade, the front line has been lost and these soldiers have done their best. Do you think we should open the city gate to let them all in and then..." Somat said tentatively.

  "Somat, I am the supreme commander here, you mustn't..." Bade glared at Somat and continued to focus on the battlefield ahead.

  "Alas..." Somat sighed.

  At this moment, a red figure rushed hastily towards here.

  "Big brother, why don't you open the city gate? Rein is still under the city!" Julia came to Somat's side and said with a reproachful tone.

  "Julia! I..." Somat said helplessly.

  "Julia! You're finally here, I've been waiting for half a day. The battle just now was intense, unfortunately you didn't see it, haha......" At this time, Cadore saw Julia's arrival and quickly walked over to greet her.

  "Prince Cardore, this is war, not a game, I beg of you..." Yulia said, panting.

  Accused by Julia, Cadore's face turned red with embarrassment, and he was at a loss for what to do.

  "Julia, don't be unreasonable! Apologize to Prince Cardore at once!" Somarte said.

  "Somat, never mind, I misspoke for a moment, Julia is absolutely right, I... sigh..." Cadore said with a long sigh, full of emotion.

  "Brother, the Caesar's army is gathering its forces, and it won't be attacking the city for now. Why not order the gates to be opened and let those surviving soldiers return? They've done their best, repeatedly stopping the enemy's advances... Look..." Cadore said as he approached Brother, glancing at Julia who was anxious beyond measure.

  "Hmm! Alright! Somat! Give the order, open the city gate and let those soldiers return to the castle!" Bado finally gave the command while keeping an eye on the frontline.

  Somat hastily departed, and Julia followed closely behind. As she left, her grateful eyes glanced at Cardore, then quickly chased after Somat's big brother, rushing straight to the city gate.

  Cardore nodded slightly, smiled unnaturally, and gazed at Julia's receding back with a heavy heart.

  "Cardore, I didn't think you still had a thing for Julia, haha!" Bad said with a serious expression, looking at his brother's face and chuckling.

  "Yes, but... Alas! Let's just forget it!" Cardore said helplessly.

  The city gate was wide open, and the soldiers, carrying their weary bodies, covered in blood from head to toe, rushed in quickly.

  The more than 200 soldiers led by Laine are now less than 100 people, and they are on standby near the city gate.

  "Renn!" Julia shouted his name loudly as she saw Renn return safely, excitedly rushing over and actually throwing herself into his arms in the midst of a crowd.

  "Julia, sister! Don't do this, no..." Rain said with a shield and sword in hand, looking embarrassed, but before he could finish speaking, her cherry lips covered his mouth.

  Whistling sounds and strange cries continued, accompanied by bursts of laughter. The soldiers were all infected with this atmosphere, temporarily forgetting the cruel battle just now.

  Julia's actions were too crazy, Somat was furious with anger, his eyes fixed on Rain, clenching his fists, for Rain he hated him to the bone, his plan foiled again.

  Gazing at Julia and Rain's intimate behavior, Cardore on the city wall clenched his fist in anger, slamming it heavily onto the hard stone wall with a loud thud.

  However, at this time, Laine was already dizzy, his face was red, staring with both eyes, and he didn't know what to do.

  After a long time, Yulia finally let go of Rain, her face slightly red, looking somewhat shy and embarrassed, standing awkwardly beside Rain.

  "Julia, you... uh..." Reynn wiped his lips, gazing at Julia, unsure of what to say.
