our family is gone

Chapter 276
The two quickly rushed to a nearby high slope, looking down, they could probably see the whole town.

It can be seen that the small town below is similar to most towns in the empire, a simple city wall, with some masonry buildings inside, and the most common long houses outside the city wall.

There is a small river passing by, and there are large fields on both sides. A branch was introduced into the moat dug outside the town, and now it is only connected by a drawbridge.

And not far from the town, you can see the old road that has been repaired, or the old road that has been used all the time.

"There is a wall and a moat. Although they are not too exaggerated in size, is there any trouble?" Geralt is not that familiar with army warfare, but he also knows that there is a big difference between a fortified battle and a field battle. The damage is expected to be substantial.

But Lance shook his head with a smile when he heard it.

"It's good to have a city wall. Otherwise, how could I have so many people chasing those guys? Now, as long as we rob the city gate, we can completely control this place. Then we will send an elite team to rush in and clean it up."

Lance didn't mention how to cross the drawbridge to seize the city gate at all, but he looked as if the city gate had already been taken.

After simply scanning around, Lance had a rough plan.

"Go, go back and prepare to do it."

"Shouldn't we go in first to make sure there are no cult members? What if those people are only a small number?"

After Geralt received the mission, he always wanted to investigate the situation of the monster, but now he launched a devastating blow just by looking at it. Isn't it a bit...

"It's been confirmed."

Lance had no intention of stopping, and Geralt could only follow downhill.

"As long as a slightly larger gathering place is definitely related to water, but have you seen that ordinary town has a moat and a city wall at the same time? This is either an important military site, or it means that this place will definitely not be easily discarded.

But have you noticed those fields outside the city?At this time, someone should be working on it, but there is no one, and many fields are abandoned. Do you think farmers will abandon their fields?Will the farmer let the fields lie idle?

And some of the thatched roofs of the longhouses have collapsed. Let me tell you that it is a sign that no one lives there for at least half a year, because the thatched huts need to be replaced regularly so as not to leak, and now refugees are everywhere. Why do you think there are no people there? live?
Also, you can see that there are not many people coming in and out at the exit of the town. Do you think this is a sign that a normal town should have?

All the circumstances show that this small town has long been completely controlled by the cultists. Both the city wall and the moat were built by them later, because this place is very important, and even they are unwilling to abandon it casually. "

Geralt didn't expect to be able to see so many things with just a few simple glances. Sure enough, he was only suitable for finding monsters, not the battlefield.

Seeing him distracted, Lance couldn't help emphasizing, "Do you think there will be ordinary people in a town controlled by cultists? Don't you forget the bones in the camp? Even if there are guesses, it's still in my stomach."

Geralt also understood this truth and stopped talking nonsense.

However, Lance was not in a hurry. On the way, he briefly explained to him how he smashed through the Ascension Sect's ritual site, which led to the enmity, and their detailed ritual methods.

The more people there are, the more Lance has to keep the deep secret. What he needs now is to integrate into this world, so he can't make it too outrageous. There must be a reason to have an intersection with the Ascension Sect.

Geralt knew quite a few cults after living for so long, but he couldn't help but feel disgusted after hearing the twisted rituals of the Ascension Sect.

Soon after returning to the temporary resting camp, Lance called everyone to explain the situation. In fact, there is no strategy. This is a war of annihilation, and no one will be left alive.

300 people quickly captured the key intersections and important buildings in the town, and after sweeping through them, 200 people were drawn out and divided into teams of five to clean all the buildings.

"My lord, I will lead the team to seize the city gate!" After being strengthened, Disma was eager to show his strength.

"Me too!" Boudica raised his halberd and refused to give up the opportunity to launch hacking.

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry." Lance raised his hand to stroke Wangcai's wolf head, recalled the layout of the town in his mind, and then pulled out the branch in his hand on the ground.

"Since the Ascension Sect has made this place indestructible, it proves that there will be some enemies here that ordinary soldiers cannot deal with.

Your mission is to deal with these guys. I don't want casualties among soldiers. They are all my precious people. "

"Yes!"

Disma and others also understand that it takes courage to take on such an important responsibility, and their loyalty is unshakable.

"You too, I don't want you to get hurt."

Lance's words greatly calmed the restless people. The lord valued himself, which gave them a great sense of belonging.

"Next, I will explain your tasks in detail..."

Lance began to assign tasks.

"At that time, Paracelsus will lead a medical team to build a medical camp by relying on the city gate to treat the wounded.

The warehouse is in the area near the city gate, and Disma, Barristan, and Boudica led a team to take down several important locations such as the warehouse.

After winning, William will lead a team to pull the net to search and eliminate the remaining cultists, making sure that no one is left behind.

After occupying the warehouse, the few of you form a quick response team to respond to the frontal attack of the troops and take care of those situations that ordinary soldiers cannot deal with.

Junia and I will seize the church in the center as soon as possible to attract the enemy to cover your actions. "

"I'll join the battle, too." Geralt couldn't help but speak after listening to the deployment. His work ethic is very good, and the forty gold coins are too easy to get, so he feels a little sorry for not doing some work.

"Well, you join us to go to church." Naturally, Lance would not refuse. Now is the time when there is a shortage of manpower, let alone a high-end combat force.

It's just that he can't be arranged to sweep the streets. If he really sees ordinary cultists being massacred, he probably can't bear it, so let him go to a dangerous place to find Ascension cultists to do it hard.

It's safer to bring these outsiders by your side, not because you don't trust them, but because you are cautious.

After the arrangements were made, Lance finally spoke.

"Remember to be careful of the sorcery of the Ascension Witch. Don't hold on when you can't beat it. Withdraw or retreat to me. Make arrangements immediately and don't delay the army's actions."

His tactics need to be assigned to the captains of each team, telling them their respective battle lines and the tasks they are responsible for. Only when the rules and regulations are ordered will there be no chaos.

The army recuperated for a while, and then moved again after the order was issued.

At this time, Lance went directly to Disma, took out the [Banshee Hand Ax] and handed it over.

"Take this, it is very useful in the face of those cultists who can quickly injure, but you have to remember that the power attached to these extraordinary equipment will affect you, so you must be careful."

Although the handaxe produced by the panel does not have restless spirituality, he still wants to instill in everyone the concept of the price of extraordinary power.

Disma took the hand axe, looking at the green axe blade, he felt a surge of power, which was definitely more than the ability to cause corrosive damage.

However, the warning from the lord made him calm down quickly. People control power, not power controls people.

Soon the troops approached, and Lance rode out alone.

"I will seize the city gate by myself. After I enter the city gate, the cavalry will quickly follow up, and then the teams will march quickly to seize the town according to the plan."

Lance didn't continue to talk nonsense, went straight up, and ran towards the cult town one by one.

Disma couldn't help but glanced at Barristan, both of them had a little worry in their eyes, they didn't know if the lord's state had recovered from the secret ceremony.

"Are we really just looking at it like this?" Junia didn't quite understand the relationship between these people and the lord, but she knew that it was extremely dangerous to go alone, because no matter how powerful an extraordinary person would be exhausted At that time, it was not uncommon to be killed once caught in a siege.

"You!" Disma was about to say something, but Barristan on the side persuaded him.

"Executing military orders, adults have their own arrangements."

The tension in the rear is spreading. Whether the lord can capture the city gate is related to a series of attacks in the future.

But Lance himself was quite leisurely, riding his horse at a leisurely pace, his eyes kept scanning the surrounding thatched cottages, and he vaguely felt the peeping eyes hidden in them.

Now I am more sure of my guess, there is definitely a problem here.

But before he crossed the suspension bridge, Lance saw those guys at the city gate start to move, and at the same time the suspension bridge rose slowly.

It was discovered!

At this time, Lance didn't care about other things, and kicked the horse's belly to speed up.

Fortunately, he had confused the guards by himself before. He was only a hundred meters away from the suspension bridge. Under the acceleration, he jumped... He didn't reach it at all, and he just crossed half of his body and hit the drawn suspension bridge directly .

The horse was directly broken in the middle by his own impact, and Lance could even hear the horse's wailing and the sound of the fracture.

The powerful inertia threw him flying before Lance could react, and landed on the sloping bridge and slid down, only the neighing of the horse and the sound of falling into the water could be heard in his ears.

"My horse!" Lance couldn't bear to growl. The previous war horse triggered the wizard's trap and died suddenly, but this one has only been replaced for two days.

But it was too late to save it, and it sank directly, leaving only a trace of blood floating up.

At this moment, Lance turned his head, and that look was like a wolf's gaze.

Turning over and rushing to the city gate, they saw Lance alone and didn't close the door immediately, but wanted to stop this crazy guy.

"who!"

"Stop him quickly."

"Is he crazy?"

But soon they will understand what kind of person they met...

The raised suspension bridge blocked the line of sight, but the few people watching from behind immediately reacted.

"My lord is going in, brothers follow me!" Impatient Disma rushed forward and took the lead.

As he shouted, all the cavalry charged forward, and Geralt hesitated a little and drove Carrot to follow.

"Let's go." Barristan got into the mood instantly. War was no stranger to him.

The army that received the order also officially set off, marching from the dense forest to the small town.

Disma rushed a little fast, and even got out of the cavalry. His sharp eyes locked on the gate, and he didn't know what was going on with the lord.

The appearance of the army obviously completely alarmed the cultists, and immediately rushed out of the houses on both sides, some people wearing ordinary clothes, but their posture was not ordinary at all.

"Stop him now!"

"The Holy Maiden will guide us to ascend!"

"Don't be afraid, ascension is just around the corner!"

They are strong in stature, with crazy expressions and strong aggressiveness. They are holding various agricultural tools in their hands, such as hoes, pitchforks, and long-handled flails.

Geralt noticed the crazy posture of those people, and he actually wanted to stop the heavily armed cavalry with his body.

Geralt still couldn't help feeling uneasy when he saw the pitchfork.

But Disma and the others are not ordinary people, one is an old thief, and the rest are elite cavalrymen.

You may not be able to shoot even if you stand firmly on land. Playing with a gun on a bumpy horse basically relies on metaphysics, but Disma knocked down a crazy believer with a single shot, and even rushed a few steps before falling down. Look at that The wound turned out to be a direct headshot.

In the hands of the cavalry is not the knight's spear, but a saber that reveals the cold light. The long-term and rigorous training has achieved remarkable results, and every charge can bring up a splash of blood.

The cavalry is powerful, not to mention that those guys were broken through before they formed a close.

Under the protection of the armor, no one of the cavalry was injured, but those cultists dropped a few corpses.

Geralt was about to show off, but he was held back immediately.

But when they rushed up, the raised suspension bridge did not fall down, and there was no follow-up road, which made Disma a little anxious. If there is anything wrong with the lord...

And at this moment, the suspension bridge paused, then slowly fell, and finally the cut off vision reappeared.

Geralt looked up and saw that the city gate was wide open, and there were all kinds of stumps and broken arms lying on the ground, only one person was left standing, and the winch, which required three or five people to move, seemed to be playing casually in his hands. Average toys.

"Enemy!" A cavalryman shouted, and the cultists who broke through just now surrounded him.

Disma wanted to protect the lord, but it would take time for the bridge to come down, and he had to hold it.

"Change the command of the cavalry captain. Run up and cut the enemy, use the advantage of the cavalry to kill the enemy as much as possible, I will defend the bridge..." Disma glanced at Geralt, "You can do whatever you want."

"Yes!"

Leonard is proficient in horse warfare and cavalry tactics. These carefully selected cavalry are all trained according to the backbone and used for future military expansion.

"The cavalry company is attacking!" The captain ran up immediately after taking over, the bloody saber in his hand exuding bloodthirsty desire.

"Hamlet will win!" The cavalry shouted in unison, their morale was like a rainbow, and they charged directly at the believers.
