Chapter 003: The Nightingale's Lullaby

Where there is one, there will be two; upon seeing two farmers lying down, the rest of the farmers will not hold back, each following suit and lying down one after another

The final group of swordsmen, led by an elite swordsman, stood silently and solemnly to one side, waiting for the moment when the city walls would be completely breached, ready to rush in and secure a decisive victory

It is said that Heigela City is also a castle-type city, located more than 100 kilometers away from Las City. In order to compete for various resources and minerals between the two cities, they have been warring against each other for many years. This month it is my turn to attack you, and next month it will be your turn to attack me

As the world-renowned melodies continued to resonate, the offensive of the Hegelian city’s army grew increasingly fierce

Before the farmer had a chance to speak, an archer who ran past him laughed and said as he continued on his way: "You are also going to the battlefield, you crack me up. You might as well just fulfill your duties honestly; going up there is just a matter of sending yourselves to your deaths"

Two teams of riflemen stood guard beside the massive catapult, while a team of archers engaged in a shootout with the longbowmen on the city wall, with arrows occasionally striking and bringing down individuals.

The fat man looked at mhetushu.com, feeling his blood boil, his nostrils flaring, and his heartbeat quickening. This is the life of a man, with iron and blood, fighting on the battlefield!

The chubby person is now somewhat confused; is there really such a realistic game?

The fat man learned from the farmer that the castle was well-ordered, with various combat units from top to bottom, including seven types: pikemen, archers, griffins, swordsmen, monks, knights, and angels. Furthermore, within the same tier of units, there were distinctions between regular and elite types, each differing in strength and name. For instance, when pikemen reached a certain level of training, they could evolve into halberdiers, significantly enhancing their strength.

No matter how one puts it, they are bound by life and death. Cheng Kong is now at a loss as to what to do; it might be better to follow them, as at least it would not lead to significant issues

Boom! The stones hurled by the catapult struck the city wall, producing a tremendous sound that startled the unprepared fat man, causing him to shiver. The farmer, who had witnessed numerous wars, burst into laughter, patting the fat man's shoulder, his face resembling cracked soil trembling: "There is no need to be afraid; that catapult only targets the city wall and cannot reach us here. Let me explain this to you properly, rookie!"

The archers on the walls of Las, utilizing the cover of the battlements and the advantage of height, experience a casualty rate significantly lower than that of the archers in the valley below.

Certainly, without farmers, this castle would also decline due to hunger

Cheng Kong was about to curse loudly when the farmer tugged at the fat man's clothes and said, "Brother, he is right. The gap between us and them is too great. It would be useless to go up there. Even if we have seven or eight farmers, we are not enough to take on a single soldier. If we get hit by arrows, it would be instant death. Let's forget it; there's no need to risk our lives."

Generally speaking, the defending side tends to hold the advantage, as they are protected by moats and walls. The attacking side can only inflict damage on the defenders through aerial units, while ground troops must wait until the catapults breach the walls before they can engage in battle. During this time lag, the attacking forces will be subjected to a rain of arrows from the defenders' archers. In this back-and-forth dynamic, it is naturally the defending side that ultimately achieves victory

The farmer, being overweight, was not allowed to even climb the city walls, and naturally could not see what the attacking army of Hegra City looked like, so he could only obediently listen to the explanations of that farmer brother.

Eight farmers lay together, their snores resembling the song of a nightingale, rising and falling in harmony, interwoven with the occasional sounds of battle cries, akin to a world-renowned symphony

During the time the farmer was nagging, the archer who mocked him had already reached the foot of the city wall and was making his way up the slanted path towards it. Upon hearing the farmer's words, the stout man, no matter how inflamed with anger, had no choice but to give up.

The army of Heigela outside the city wall is divided into four squads, each consisting of approximately 200 men

No one in the county has ever spoken to him like this; in modern society, people, regardless of the circumstances, would not mock someone to their face in such a manner

We will surely win, what is there to fear? Waiting like this is exhausting, and with such beautiful sunshine, why not take a nap

After hearing the farmer's explanation, the fat man's heart was finally set at ease

The farmer was in high spirits, but seeing that the fat man had already fallen asleep, he did not want to disturb him. He also lay down and soon began to snore.

Upon hearing this, the fat man felt a surge of excitement in his previously dejected mood. Is there really such a good thing? His eyes almost sparkled with green light, and he couldn't help but grip the iron fork tightly in his hand. With just one iron fork, one could become a knight. Who wouldn't want such a good fortune? Anyone who doesn't is a fool!

As previously mentioned, the defending side will always hold certain advantages

At this moment, the entire city of Las was in operation, with sounds of running and commands echoing everywhere

While the fat man was lost in his fantasies, the siege of Las City by Hegra City commenced

Waste material? Before the fat man could speak, the farmer said another sentence: "Here, not only strength matters, but luck does as well. Last time, one of our brothers in the farmer's army had incredible luck. When the enemy from Element City attacked, it ended in mutual destruction. The enemy was left with only one phoenix, and we had just two knights remaining. Our brother, for some reason, charged in and managed to take down the phoenix with a single thrust. After the battle, he was directly promoted to knight. Why don't I have such good luck?"

Yet these farmers are not even at the seventh level; they are merely a group of waste and raw materials used for grain production

Although it is said that overweight individuals are not particularly outstanding when serving as auxiliary police officers, often just passing the time, once this passion from deep within a man's heart is ignited, it becomes uncontrollable. He immediately grabbed the farmer who had pushed him earlier and asked, "Brother, shall we join the fight as well?"

After greeting the farmer, the stout man felt at ease and lay down without caring about the dust on the ground, falling asleep by the side of the street

Giant round stones continuously fell from the walls of Las City, creating massive breaches in the walls and arrow towers.

Not far in front of Cheng Kong, within a barracks marked with a long spear sign, a well-trained squad of spearmen clad in thin iron armor was assembling in formation under the command of an officer. Meanwhile, to the right of Cheng Kong, beside the street, a target range marked with a bow and arrow sign saw a group of soldiers, equipped with bows and wearing leather armor, rushing out and running along the street towards the city wall

The overweight man, whose enthusiasm for the war had been dampened, sat down on the side of the street like the other farmers and began to chat idly with that farmer.

Cheng Kong cursed a few times, adjusted his straw sandals, and followed the farmers along the stone-paved street.
