The Sage of Einar

Chapter 484: Conquest of the city of Dun Dealgan 2/2

The snipers quickly climbed to the roof of the Church using some wooden ladders, when they fully climbed to the roof of the church.

They settled in all the places where they could place their chests on the ground to be able to shoot with their Nordic carbines against the enemies.

Once they had completely mastered the roof of the church, they informed the soldiers of the special forces that the path was completely free to the buildings around the church.

So the special forces soldiers quickly left the church and started running towards the houses and buildings around the church.

To enter the houses, they simply kicked a few times, always keeping the noise level below a certain limit to avoid attracting the attention of unwanted people.

Upon entering the houses, they realized that there was a large amount of belongings and furniture that had been completely abandoned.

One of the special forces soldiers who had entered one of the many houses on his way to the table and was able to take a piece of bread that had mushrooms on it.

“These people didn’t even have a chance to finish their meals. I highly doubt they could have taken anything out of their houses.

It’s really a shame to see so many things wasted in this place, but we have things to do.

I want them to quickly remove all the wooden furniture to the outside because we have to create barricades to block the passage to the church.

While our comrades attack from the walls, we must establish a defensive perimeter in this area without them noticing.

According to the map that Darren made, this is the only path they can take to reach the walls inside.

So if we can hold out long enough we can easily win this war, but we have to be prepared. “

The soldier, after giving his orders helped his companions to remove the wooden furniture, which began to be placed in areas where small defensive places could be created.

Since all the defenders were more busy on the walls attacking the Nordic soldiers, they don’t know that a great defensive line was being created behind them.

Which increased with the passage of time because Einar, knowing that the tunnel was safe and that there were already many houses completely taken, continued to send normal soldiers.

So that they could reinforce the number of the defenders who were already in the place.

As a precautionary measure, and to prevent defenders from realizing, they were wasting their ammunition.

Einar ordered more attackers to advance and also ordered to start firing at the defenders on the walls with the few snipers in the place.

This measure was quite efficient because the defenders could not feel anything strange, so they attacked with more force and tried to cover each other using shields.

Also to calibrate the weapons, Einar ordered vases with earth to be thrown at the walls using the onagers and the ballistas to shoot gigantic normal arrows.

Because of this, the minutes continued to pass and more and more soldiers entered the city, creating barricades in the poorly built streets of that city.

After approximately 3 hours and with some 4,500 troops inside the city, one of the special forces soldiers placed a firework on the roof of the church and lit the fuse.

At that moment, the firework ignited the gunpowder inside and it flew into the sky where it exploded with a beautiful red color.

The defenders were quite concerned about what an explosion had occurred from inside the city, however they did not have time to review what had happened because the onagers.

They started throwing canisters of Nordic fire on the walls, and the ballistas started using gigantic explosive arrows.

Because of this, the defenders knew that the genuine attack was taking place, so they prepared with all their might to be able to resist the Norse attack.

However, all the actions they were doing turned out to be almost useless as the blue Nordic fire quickly created indefensible areas on the wall.

Because the fire not stopping burning, it became a real danger, not to mention that it also left some place of the wall inaccessible in which the warriors couldn’t move since to do so they would need to pass a curtain of fire.

After an attack lasting almost a full hour, the defenders decided that it was time to abandon the outer wall in order to concentrate their defense on the inner wall.

To avoid losing the wall immediately, a group of 200 warriors agreed to stay to fight until the end. Although they were not the best, they hoped to defend the wall as much as possible.

However, the defenders who started to come down from the wall and advanced into the city felt a great deal of fear as they saw how well the streets barricaded with wooden furniture.

As they tried to get closer to discover who had made those barricades, the defenders fell dead as the Norse soldiers fired their weapons.

The defenders then found themselves in great trouble because if they returned, they would die on the walls and if they did not advance, they would die in the same way.

So, in a desperate attempt, all the defenders ran with shields in hand and anything that could cover their bodies towards the barricades in order to break them.

The Nordic soldiers, seeing this, simply took everything in stride and killed as many enemies as possible before retreating to the next line of barricades.

That way, they were able to efficiently assassinate all the attackers trying to break through the barricades, without losing a single soldier in the process.

In just one hour, almost all the enemy warriors he had attacked were dead. Seeing that they could not advance they tried to run towards the walls, thinking that there was still a safe place.

However, they had to watch with horror how Nordic soldiers emerged from the walls, who had conquered the entire wall.

The few enemy warriors who remained then dropped their weapons and surrendered because it was no longer worth fighting for them, as they had lost the battle.

At that time, the gates of the outer walls opened so that the entire Nordic army could enter the city that was in good condition because it had not been intentionally destroyed.
