Chapter 84: Fierce Battle (Unlocked! Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  Without any probing, Odin's first wave of attack directly threw out a heavy punch!

  After a loud and sonorous horn blast, the Odin warriors emerged one by one, each holding shields, axes, large knives, heavy swords and various other weapons. They raised their shields and ran wildly amidst deafening roars. The dense crowd surged forward like scattered beans!

  Xia Ya gripped the axe tightly, and although there was a din all around him, he could clearly hear the sound of his own heartbeat. At this moment, the officer of the Srete camp beside him was shouting loudly in a thick voice, issuing various orders.

  "Ready! Archers prepare! Take up your arms! Don't panic! Stand firm! Maintain formation!!"

  These things, without any command experience, Xia Ya could only hand over to Srete. This not-so-outstanding camp officer did a good job, although he was also tense and his face turned red, but his voice still tried its best to remain calm!

  Innumerable footsteps trampled the earth, and in the swirling dust, a sea of people soon rushed into range...

  "Let go!!!!!!!!!!"

  Sreth let out a loud roar, and from behind the stockade wall, three ballistae angrily shot out dozens of crossbow arrows! A metal crossbow arrow as thick as an adult's arm whizzed through the air, and dozens of crossbow arrows presented a parabolic trajectory, instantly covering the heads of the Oding people.

  On the battlefield, the dull and terrifying sound of flesh being pierced was heard everywhere, with blood splashing all over, mixed with the painful cries of the dead and wounded. The crossbow arrows launched from the catapults were at least ten times more powerful than ordinary bow arrows. Not a single crossbow arrow, as long as it hit its target, would easily pierce through the human body! Some crossbow arrows even directly pierced three to five people with remaining force!!!

  The archers behind the stockade also received orders, and the first round of hundreds of arrows shot out like a gust of wind, cutting down a small piece of the Odin people's charging crowd!

  But amidst the wails and howls, the footsteps of the Odin people did not stop at all, they instead became even more ferocious and fanatical as they shouted forward!

  Very soon, the first wave of Odin's men rushed to the bottom of the camp wall. They slammed their bodies hard against the camp wall, and although the camp wall had been reinforced with stones found by the logistics team and wooden carriages that had been dismantled, the first impact still made the camp wall sway noticeably several times. The Byzantine warriors hiding behind the camp wall were nervous and frightened. Then, under the command of the officer, a row of sharp long spears was inserted from the gap in the camp wall, densely packed like piercing flesh, easily stabbing hundreds of Odin's men! However, there were also dying Odin's men who grabbed the long spear stuck in their bodies and pulled it out with great force.

  Hundreds of Odin warriors formed over a dozen small teams, sprinting in the middle of the charging formation. To maintain their running speed as much as possible, they wore no metal armor and carried no weapons, almost half-naked. Ten or so people per team worked together to lift and carry wooden ladders made from freshly cut trees. Amidst the deafening roar, they frantically charged towards the palisade wall! As they were hidden among the crowd, surrounded by Odin warriors fighting to the death with shields, most of the ladder teams reached the bottom of the wall. The ladders quickly went up, and the nearby Odin people wildly shouted their battle cry, jumping onto the ladders and desperately surging into the fort.

  Long spears kept thrusting out from the stockade walls, knocking down the Odin warriors on the ladders and overturning the ladders. The Odin warriors went mad and rushed forward, almost using their own bodies to form a shield to meet the thrusts of the long spears. More Odin warriors kept setting up the ladders again and again, continuing their desperate attack.

  Red!

  The battlefield was almost entirely red! In front of the fortifications, layer upon layer of corpses fell to the ground, their fresh blood making the earth muddy. The Byzantine warriors standing behind the fortifications, on the platform, desperately stabbed and hacked downwards with their swords, yet still could not withstand the suicidal impact of the Odin people. Some Odin warriors even climbed up onto the fortifications, spread open their arms, and plunged down, meeting the Byzantine soldiers' sword blades head-on, using their own bodies to crush several, allowing more comrades behind them to gain time.

  Some of the Odin people simply gave up on the ladders and gathered behind the stockade, using a human pyramid method to let their companions step on their shoulders and climb over the stockade walls, regardless of the long spears in the wall seams piercing their chests! Some other Odin people also stabbed their swords and knife tips into the gaps in the palisades, exchanging lives for lives...

  The stockade wall, which was only over two meters high, was really too fragile and could hardly play a real defensive role. The archers had already dispersed along the front line, standing behind the stockade wall and freely shooting and killing one Odin warrior after another. Xia Ya's eyes were bloodshot, holding a battle axe, leading more than ten warriors with the highest martial arts skills, running back and forth behind the stockade wall, every time an Odin warrior broke through somewhere, he would rush up at the first time, his battle axe flashing cold light, chopping the enemy into pieces!

  The real danger has appeared at the camp gate!

  That was the position where the Odin people launched their main attack. The gate had originally been set with two rows of sharpened wooden stakes, densely arranged together and deeply inserted into the ground, with the wooden tips pointing high... The Odin people paid at least two hundred casualties, enduring the Byzantines' bows and arrows and long spears thrown from behind the door, cutting down those sharp wooden stakes one by one, clearing a piece of land!

  Dozens of Odin warriors behind him crazily rushed to the camp gate with logs cut down, repeatedly crashing into the gate.

  The reinforced camp gate was smashed with a loud crash, and the gray earth on both sides kept falling down. One by one, soldiers stood behind, raised their knives and swords to stab fiercely, some were caught by the Odin people, clutched their weapons, and then dragged out with mournful cries.

  The Odin warriors attacking the camp gate also had a team holding long spears, which were temporarily cut down from trees and sharpened wooden spears, about 3-4 meters in length. The Odin warriors raised such long spears and stabbed the Byzantine soldiers behind the camp gate at an angle, causing damage to the Byzantines. Even Sret's camp officer was pierced by a long spear that shattered his shoulder armor, and half of his body was instantly stained with blood!

  The gate was only about ten meters wide, and under the repeated impact of the Odin warriors, the gate began to make a cracking sound. The sound made the Byzantine soldiers tremble in their hearts. Under the Odin warriors' roar, each crash seemed to hit people's hearts...

  A wild roar, Xia Ya rushed to the door, he had already thrown away his axe and replaced it with a war hammer. He stared at a Byzantine warrior standing on the platform behind the door, who was pierced by a long spear from outside the door and fell down, spewing blood. Xia Ya's eyes turned crimson in an instant, and amidst the roar, he suddenly leaped into the air!

  His robust and excellent physical quality enabled him to jump over three meters high and he jumped out of the gate with a loud thud!

  Outside the door, dozens of corpses had fallen to the ground. Xia Ya used his war hammer to block his face and then let go of his embrace, using his body to meet the Odin people's long spears and axes. A crisp cracking sound was heard as an unknown number of spears and axes were smashed by him. Xia Ya fell into the crowd, rolled on the ground with great effort, swung his war hammer in a circle, smashing the legs of several Odin people gathered around him. The broken legs flew up, Xia Ya jumped up, pulled out the fire fork from his waist!

  Odin's people looked so fragile in front of the tortoise, his fire fork could easily cut off Odin's weapons, and then the mallet quickly smashed onto the opponent's body, whether it was the head, shoulders or chest, every blow could bring the sound of shattered bones!

  In almost the space of a few breaths, there was no one standing around Xia Ya. He grabbed an Autin man, kicked him to the ground with one foot, trampled on his chest, pulled his arm, and let out a loud roar!

  A loud roar! Half of his body was torn apart by him!! The scorching hot blood splattered onto Xia Ya's face, he fiercely threw away the small half corpse in his hand, and then slammed the war hammer towards the most densely populated area of Odin's people... In this instant, his eyes turned crimson red, and he instantly released a scarlet killing aura!

  BOOM!!

  The mace smashed into the crowd, with a fierce and bloody aura, directly crushing three O'Din people's bodies to powder! A pile of shattered bones splashed everywhere, under the powerful impact, seven or eight more O'Din people flew out in all directions, already dead in mid-air...

  Xia Ya's eyes reddened as she watched more Odin warriors charge forward, let out a mad laugh, picked up an axe dropped by an Odin warrior, chopped down two of the front-runners, and then leapt back into the camp...

  Xia Ya's almost inhuman ferocity ignited the courage of the Byzantine soldiers, and suddenly the crazy roars of the Byzantine soldiers came from all directions. They resisted desperately, cutting down one Odin soldier after another, knocking over ladders, and even some followed Xia Ya's example, jumping out directly from behind the palisade wall, using their flesh and blood to greet the enemy's blades, but before dying, they would definitely stab their weapons fiercely into the body of the nearest enemy!

  ※※※

  In the distance, a figure clad in black, Hasting, gazed at the carnage at the camp entrance with his slender, dark eyes. He watched as Xia Ya burst out like a beast, cutting down countless Odin warriors, and saw him strike out with a single hammer blow, sending limbs flying. He watched as Xia Ya leapt back into the camp, and saw the Byzantines' morale grow more frenzied...

  The Odin warrior suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, turned around and snatched a long spear from an Odin warrior beside him, took two steps back, and then threw it out fiercely...

  Xia Ya suddenly heard a loud whistling sound coming from the sky! The sound was like a summer thunder, and when he looked up, he saw a light falling from the sky. That parabolic trajectory almost split the sky open, like a dazzling flash of lightning!!

  And the place where that ray of light fell was precisely the camp gate!

  Xia Ya suddenly let out a loud roar, his eyes instantly turned crimson red, and the scarlet aura enveloped his entire body. He shouted loudly, grabbed a shield, and jumped up frantically, meeting the light sphere in mid-air!!
