On the road leading to the royal city, a team of 100 people composed of pure knight professionals was advancing unhurriedly.

Most of these knights rushed without saying a word, and even when they were on the road, they were still able to maintain a relatively tight formation, and it seemed that they should be a fairly elite team.

However, compared to those elites who can be named, their attire is a little too unrestrained, and the armor on their bodies can be described as varied.

Some people wear the standard armor issued by the royal family, some people wear refined iron armor painted with the family crest of the Valen family, and more people wear the wrought iron knight armor obtained (lai) from Anderson's family.

From a distance, these disheveled creatures look like a standard ragtag army, but if you look closer, you will notice that they have a certain frightening smell on them.

At the forefront of this squad were a dozen knights dressed in crimson, their iron-gray armor stained with blood, and their eyes under their helmets full of murderous aura, who had obviously had a brief encounter and should have wiped out their opponents without difficulty.

The air around these knights seemed to be heated, distorting imperceptibly. And the blood stains on those miscellaneous armors seemed to writhe with it, as if bewitching scarlet flames were slowly burning on their armor, and those eyes full of murderous intent were even more daunting.

......

[The army under your command has become an entry-level rectangular formation (inferior)]

[Morale +2, Attack +1, Defense +2, Formation Strength is 1]

[Due to the influence of the legion trait "Loose Horse", morale +5, formation strength -3, command -3]

[Warning, the strength of this formation is too low, and it may collapse at any time]

William, at the front of the line, smacked his lips helplessly.

Collapse and collapse, it's only been three months of practice, and it's okay to have this level.

According to the general evaluation scale of excellent, good, acceptable, and inferior, the formation ability of these guys can be said to be so bad that they fly, and they are only a little better than those (extremely bad) motley armies.

However, the other formations are rotten, and he is quite relieved that this group of guys full of muscles can actually learn several basic formations.

Anyway, I don't expect them to be able to do work like defense or outflanking, as long as they train the fish scale formation responsible for attacking the fortification.

Besides, nearly thirty of the hundred knights were second-order professionals, and they also had two quite powerful racial characteristics. What's more, there is also his own supernumerary giant comparable to a fourth-order professional, even if the formation is a little worse, this configuration is enough to penetrate the vast majority of opponents at this stage.

You can't force this aspect of the formation, long live sixty years, it's a waste anyway.

After complaining about the terrible formation of [Flame Legion (Pseudo)], William opened his panel and took a look, and two new temporary entries were added to the special status bar.

[Flames are burning, and combat power will increase as the battle lasts]

[Demonic coercion, which will exert a natural oppressive force on low-ranking enemies during battle]

It stands to reason that people who don't have the bloodline of Berserker shouldn't be able to enjoy the corresponding race bonus, but having a talent that is exempt from the test is so unreasonable.

In front of the unbounded people, the race test is a fart, just skip it and it's over, there is no buff in this world that I William can't rub.

William, who was in a full state, looked at the looming royal city in the distance, and silently calculated in his heart. What the hell should be done to avoid the guards guarding the city and take away the Farrell family's crusaders in waves?

That's right, it's impossible to find out the news, it's impossible to do this kind of tiring work in this life, William's purpose has been only one from the beginning, that is, to directly overthrow the Farrell family's crusading army.

Although I promised the queen before I came out that I was only to find out the news, the enemy was too hidden to determine the specific number, so I had to slaughter them all so that I could count the specific number of enemies.

As a professional scout, I like to be accurate to single digits when determining enemy troops, right?

Soon, the [Flame Legion (Pseudo)] came to the vicinity of the royal capital and stopped in the jungle about a thousand meters away.

William put his hands on the pergola and squinted his eyes at the pitch-black city in the distance.

Strange, why didn't you see the torches at the sentry?

Hmm, why is the palace still burning!

......

"The sword and shield stepped forward to form a circle!

The black-armored knight pulled his neck and roared:

"I've pulled the flare, Master Jessica will definitely come to support! The people on the periphery have stood firm for me! If you retreat and cause the formation to collapse, then everyone will die!"

The black-armored knight roared as he swung his sword at the werewolf who had slipped through. Fighting his shoulder blade, he was bitten by it hard, and stabbed the werewolf in the chest with a backhand.

A fountain of foul-smelling blood shot out like a fountain of blood, splashing all over his body.

Struggling to pull out the long sword stuck in the werewolf's ribs, Eugene looked up with a grim face and looked at him with a look of horror on his face, two panicked maids hugging each other.

Just now, it was they who wanted to rush in to take refuge, which caused a gap in the formation, so that the werewolf in front of them was leaked in.

"Damn it!"

He scolded with a gloomy face, then took a deep breath and roared at the people running outside the circle: "Don't rush into battle! Don't rush into battle! If you mess up, everyone will die!"

However, no matter how much he yelled and cursed, and even killed two soldiers who tried to rush in with his own hands, he still couldn't stop the people who kept running to take refuge.

Under the impact of these people, the originally tight and tight circle formation was crowded by these people, and new werewolves continued to rush into the defense line, and this temporary formation was about to be unable to hold on.

"Eugene, what are the rules for forming a formation?"

A cold and hard questioning voice sounded behind itself, and the dissatisfaction in his tone was so thick that it almost overflowed, but the black-armored knight who turned around was full of surprise.

"Master Jessica!"

Looking at Eugene, whose upper body was soaked in blood, the female knight's stern face softened for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone obeys orders!

Hearing Lord Jessica's order, the sword and shield men on the periphery of the circle gritted their teeth and waved their scimitars at the people who rushed up......

Under the deterrence of blood, the circle array on the verge of collapse finally stabilized, and it was still gradually shrinking inward to stabilize it, although there were still occasional screams, but the werewolves on the periphery finally couldn't break through.

Seeing that the defensive circle was finally resisted, Eugene couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and only then did he notice the sharp pain coming from his shoulder.

"Sizzle......"

He gasped in pain, but was so stimulated by the thick smell of blood on his body that he wanted to retch.

After briefly looking around the situation, he didn't bother to bandage his wounds, and asked the female knight with an anxious face:

"Lord Jessica, we must break through as soon as possible! Those traitors who have turned their backs on their families are now at the gate of the palace, as long as the fire at the door is extinguished, they will rush in immediately, and their subordinates suggest choosing the corner gate of the palace to break through!"

The knight did not answer immediately, but closed her eyes slightly, and thought carefully for a moment.

No, the corner gate will not be a living way, it is not a secret that there are two corner gates in the palace, Leonard can't be unaware, and he must have made corresponding preparations.

Just now I was looking at the top of the palace, and the two corner gates didn't even move at all, this is the strangest place, rushing towards the two corner gates, maybe the danger is even greater.

If she could, she would prefer to try her luck at the door, after all, just seeing the flag does not mean that there will be so many people, and the main gate is the only way to survive.

It's just that......

She glanced at the werewolves who were loosely surrounding them outside, still not choosing to concentrate on the onslaught, and sighed very covertly.

The fire at the gate was too strong, and if you forced it through, you would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and without the sentry, I was now a blind man, and I didn't know the specific location of the enemy, and I was actually gambling wherever I went.

Nodding noncommittally, Jessica said calmly, "Okay, just do as you say!"

With that, she looked in the direction of the two corner gates, and on the way to the one to the northeast, she found several collapsed towers.

That's where the prison was supposed to be, right?

The female knight raised her arm and said with a complicated expression: "In terms of direction, rush to the corner gate in the northeast." ”

After receiving clear instructions, Eugene's anxious face suddenly eased a lot, and he turned around excitedly and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Change formation! The knight is in front of the sword and shield in the back, and the front is out of formation! Immediately break through to the northeast!"

With Eugene's roar, the soldiers gathered from all directions formed a simple arrow-like formation and launched a counter-charge towards the werewolves to the northeast.

......

Listening to the roars and fighting sounds of beasts coming from ahead, the clearing in the shadow of the tower suddenly shook, and the surrounding air fluctuated like water ripples, and dozens of black-robed figures slowly appeared.

Standing at the front were a man and a woman, both wearing black hoods that looked a bit like some hapless leprechaun.

The tall man lifted his hood, glanced at the soldiers who were rushing towards him, sniffed the increasingly thick smell of blood in the air, and unconsciously turned a pair of eyes into orange and yellow beast pupils with vertical slits.

The man turned his somewhat deformed face sideways, and said to the woman next to him in a hoarse voice, "Hey, old woman, the person Leonard wants has appeared, we can do it now, right?"

"Giggles, no. ”

A voice as crisp as a silver bell sounded, and the hooded woman chuckled a few times, and then said without question: "If we go out at once, that woman may choose to flee on her own if we find that these people are certain to die."

So you and I have to wait here, and only when these people break through the corner gate and are only one step away from escaping, will the woman be able to stay and choose to fight us. ”

The man did not reply, but covered his chest with his hands, and lay down with a hideous expression, his slightly deformed nose and mouth continued to protrude, and clumps of fine white fluff grew on his face.

"I ...... Can't wait...... I...... Didn't want to wait any longer......"

His hoarse voice grew deeper, and the difference from that of a human became greater, and by the last few words, it had even mixed in with the menacing roar of the beast expressing threat.

The full moon in the sky suddenly shone a clear glow on his body. The man's body suddenly swelled several times, and the wide black robe was instantly broken, revealing the silver hair under the black robe. This tall man suddenly turned into a silver* werewolf nearly three meters tall.

Unlike the grey-haired werewolves who were besieging Jessica, his hair was not only smooth and shiny, but also full of explosive muscles.

At this time, it slowly turned its head, and a pair of orange-yellow beast eyes stared at the hooded woman, as if she would immediately pounce on her if she opened her mouth to refuse.

The woman chuckled and took a step back nonchalantly.

"Then it's up to you, the mother of our Cretty family is a chess friend of Lord Leonard, and I shouldn't die even if the mission fails. As for you, how many wolf cubs' dog lives are you going to pay this time to indulge?"

At her sneer, the silver werewolf pounced, its white bony claws sending a storm of wind as if it were about to tear the hooded woman apart.

However, the claw stopped in front of her face, and did not really swing down.

"I can ...... again Bear with me for a while, but for this mission, I want three hundred...... Good human boys! At the top of the top are werewolves, our people...... The number needs to be replenished!"

"Then I don't care. ”

The woman with a crisp voice said with a smile: "We witches can only transform girls, what's the use of you and me making conditions?"

But I think your idea is actually quite valuable, this time there are indeed a lot of dog cubs dead, if you don't add it well, the cannon fodder for the next mission will not be enough. ”

The werewolf's eyes gradually turned scarlet, and he roared in a vague and low voice, "Bastard, old woman, give me ...... ......Boys! I'll just ...... Eat ......"

"Let go of that!" a gruff voice came from behind the tower, and with a shout, a dancing object was thrown and smashed to the ground with a pop.

"Lao Tzu gives you a boy!"

Harry spun out from behind the tower, looking at the tall werewolf with a look of excitement on his face.

"You're lucky! You've got a big one! You look a lot better than the gray guys!"

The werewolf didn't answer him, but raised his front paws in confusion and turned the boy on the ground over.

What appeared in front of it was a swollen pig's face, and the boy's cheeks were shiny and shiny, and they were so red and swollen that even his eyelids were almost gone.

It sniffled, the smell of the two people in front of it was somewhat similar, both with the smell of vegetable soup and meat steak, but the one rolling on the ground still smelled a little noisy......
