A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"Night attack!"

......

Reinhardt City, night.

"Add more torches! Hurry!"

Balon ordered to others.

Really good at choosing time...

At night, the accuracy of the ballista will drop significantly, which is fatal to the defender of the city.

As if he expected something, Baron said to an officer:

"Let people prepare for the wild... No, just boil the oil, now."

"Yes!"

It’s not time to use those yet…

"Keep an eye on them all! Hit them when they show up!"

After Balon finished shouting, he walked to the edge of the city wall and looked into the endless darkness outside the city.

Except for a few nearby giants who had just emerged and been beaten to death, the roar of the giants could be vaguely heard in the distance, but their figures were completely invisible.

It seems that after the day's battle, these giants also knew that the ballista was not easy to mess with, so they did not dare to attack rashly.

Every soldier on the city wall was very nervous and stared at the bottom of the city.

The already cold air became more solemn...

Time passed by minute by second, and the city wall was so quiet that only the sound of armor rubbing against each other could be heard, as well as some words spoken in the city.

...something's not quite right...

Balon had a bad feeling.

Has the giant also learned to feint?

Suddenly, Baron remembered those giants tens of meters high that he had seen during the day...

...Don't dare to enter the range of the ballista... Could it be...

"Everyone, hide quickly..."

Before the word "cover" was uttered, a low roar was heard in the darkness outside the city, and then a huge snowball emerged from the shadows in mid-air, spinning towards the city wall.

There was no time to react, and the huge snowball hit the battlements without any bias, knocking a ballista and the two soldiers it was equipped with into the air, and fell down the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, several more big snowballs flew in. Some hit the ballista perfectly like the first one, some hit the outside of the city wall and were covered with a large amount of snow, and some even crossed the city wall and smashed into the city, overwhelming them. A shack caused a burst of exclamations from the people in the city...

"Grass......"

Balon cursed.

"The whole army is hiding!"

"If anyone comes again, evacuate the people in the city to the south city, not to the north!"

I never expected that the giant would have this trick...

Giants that are tens of meters high are like catapults made of flesh and blood, and the thick snow on the ground is inexhaustible ammunition...

The range is still far beyond that of the ballista.

The soldiers who received the order pushed the ballistae towards the east and west walls and withdrew. The remaining soldiers hid in the towers and closely observed the movements of the giants outside the city.

Snowballs kept flying out of the darkness, and from time to time, a few unlucky soldiers were thrown off the city wall with their vehicles...

If the city wall is fifty meters high, it would be very dangerous if it falls.

Balon walked down the city wall and bumped into Lorien, followed by a sleepy Elsa and a sad-looking Beora.

"Sir Balon, outside the city..."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I am incompetent. I'm afraid I can only stay away from the edge for now."

Balon shook his head and said.

Huge snowballs came like an avalanche, making the city wall untenable.

"Lord Baron!" Two soldiers carrying the wounded came from a distance.

The one in the middle should be the soldier who was thrown off the city wall. Fortunately, he didn't fall to death...

"Let me do it. You go and bring all the wounded over and treat them together." Lorien stepped forward to check his injuries.

"...Yes, Your Highness."

The two soldiers were stunned for a moment, then they recognized Her Royal Highness and took action quickly.

After Lorian confirmed the injury of the injured person, he used healing techniques to maintain his physical condition at the minimum...

"Beora, can I please help you?"

Lorien's meaning was clear, and he hoped that Beora could make some healing potions.

"Well, no problem, as long as we have the materials." Beora agreed.

"Go to Lavoie. She will take you to the alchemy workshop in the city. If you need any materials, you can contact her."

Balon reminded.

"Yes, I understand, Elsa-senpai..." Beora looked at Elsa again.

"......Um?"

"...Senior, can you give me a shot?"

"Okay, okay."

......

The attacks outside the city continued all the time, and from time to time snowballs would fly into the city.

Fortunately, the people had already retreated to the south of the city since the first snowball hit the city. The subsequent attacks only destroyed houses and shacks and did not harm ordinary people.

The situation of the retreating soldiers on the city wall was not optimistic, and the wounded were transported one after another to where Lorien was.

Unfortunately, most of the soldiers who were hit did not survive. Only a few were lucky enough to fall on some buffers, but their internal organs were severely impacted, or their hands and feet were broken...

I don’t know if this is a disguised reduction in Lorien’s treatment pressure...

Balon also quickly sent people to gather all the therapists in the city to treat the wounded.

"Lord Balon, they are starting to attack!" the soldier on the wall who was responsible for the lookout shouted to the bottom of the city.

"...damn..."

"Your Highness, please ensure your own safety." After saying that, Baron walked towards the city wall again.

Baron narrowly escaped the attack of a snowball, and walked into the tower while crouching.

As soon as he entered, Baron saw a familiar figure.

"Boy, what are you doing here? Why don't you hurry down to the city wall?"

Before Darien could speak, the soldier on the side said:

"Sir, this little brother saved our lives just now. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been dead."

"......never mind......"

Balon knew that now was not the time to talk about this, so he quickly went to the shooting port on the tower and looked out.

Under the cover of the snowball offensive, a large number of giants approached the city wall brazenly.

Without the suppression of ballistae, how could the city be defended?

"Send two teams to defend the city gate." Balon immediately ordered.

The gate structure of Reinhardt City is somewhat special. In addition to the two fully enclosed gates inside and outside, there are also three fence-like black iron gates in the middle.

Forged by pure northern craftsmanship, even giants are not so easy to destroy in a short period of time.

But across the gate, the soldiers inside can do a lot of things.

As he spoke, the giants under the city had already approached the city wall, and the snowball throwing offensive outside the city had temporarily come to an end.

"The damn snowball fight has finally stopped. Send the order for the ballistae to be redeployed." Baron sent several soldiers around him to send the order.

There were only a few archers and Darien left in the tower.

"Boy, are you afraid?" Balon asked.

"...Don't be afraid, Sir Balon." Darien said bravely.

"Really? To be honest, I'm already scared..."

Balon smiled bitterly.

"I've always heard people say that the older you get, the more you fear death... Until yesterday, I still didn't believe in this evil..."

"You have good archery skills, kid. Sooner or later you will become an expert archer..."

As he said that, the old knight seemed to remember something, and then said:

"In a moment... there is a simple task I want to give you..."

......

The ballistae were redeployed, but due to the angle, they could no longer take care of the giants in front of them. They could only aim far away and try their best to prevent the number of giants from continuing to increase.

The giants who rushed under the city wall were not helpless against the nearly fifty-meter-high city wall. They picked up various weapons in their hands and began to destroy the city wall. Among them, there were a few slightly taller giants who walked to the city wall. In front of the door, he raised a big stick and started smashing it, and the huge knocking sound shook everyone's eardrums.

"Lord Baron, the boiling oil and pitch are ready!"

"Very good, let them feel the warmth of the people in the north and take a nice hot bath."

"fall!"

Several large pots of hot oil and asphalt poured down from the city wall, all poured on the heads of the giants below the city, causing their skin and flesh to burst open, triggering a shrill wail.

"Ow!!!"

"Roar!!!"

The screams were endless.

"Come again!"

"Zi-Zi-"
