Section 117 The Dragon City counterattack bravely captures Litun Fort

In March 472 of the Nete calendar, after more than a year of preparation, the Knight who had fled to Dragon City began to launch a thunderous and lightning counterattack against the barbarians under the decisive decision of Reilton.

On a spring morning, when a white light had just appeared on the east side, it was quiet outside the city, and the Tubisi guards guarding the city gates were curled up and napping on the ground tiredly.

Suddenly, there was a vigorous killing cry from all directions, and the entire city of Nedo was instantly surrounded by the vast sea of knights of Knights, and the two knights led by Barugel and Simon of the Fourth Legion of Dragon City launched a surprise attack, which caught the barbarians by surprise.

In charge of garrisoning Neiduo was Morey, the head of the fifteenth knight order of Tubis, who was shrewd and immediately sensed that the situation was not good, and immediately opened the north gate and led the knights of the headquarters to break through to the north in a hurry.

When Morey escaped into the forest on the north side with the Black Knight of a few hundred meters, the city of Nedor had long been swallowed up by the surging army of Knight Knights, and Johansen and Osborne were killed in the city of Nedor because they had no time to escape.

Before leaving, Morey looked far in the direction of Neido, and then left in despair, and continued to flee to the northwest side of Ritunburg.

In the two years since the fall of the Knight Kingdom, the Knights, under the leadership of Prince Relton, finally successfully launched a counterattack, quickly subduing the lost territory with the roar of the wind.

In order to achieve the effect of the surprise attack, before the end of the raid on Nedo, the Second Legion, under the leadership of Carter, directly crossed the territory of Nedo and quickly advanced towards the city of Ritunburg. The First Army, led by Caldis, crossed the territory of Neddo and Ritunburg and swooped directly to the city of Risburg further west.

Prince Railton was indeed a remarkable young leader, and his strategy of war was very heartening to everyone's heart. The young commanders were scrappy and enthusiastic, and they vowed to drive the barbarians out of Knight once and for all. In terms of the actions of the various legions, everyone strictly followed the plan deployed by Prince Relton, and attacked the occupied territories as quickly as possible, so that Wakas could not find the south, south, and north.

In the face of the crazy restoration operation of the Naites in Longcheng, Bedolia, who was stationed in Seoul, was so shocked that he hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed, fearing that the Knight would arrange a large army to attack Seoul.

By the time Caldis led his army to Risburg, Carter's Second Army had already besieged Rithunburg.

As the southern barrier of the Cobillonian territory, Fort Rytun was also an important town, and although the Tubisians had only one knight brigade in the city, there were still 2,000 archers and 3,000 infantry stationed in the city. In terms of military deployment, Warkas obviously let the garrison army be mainly responsible for the fortification of the city of Litunbao, with these 5,000 troops stationed in the city, plus the city has enough food, even if there are thousands of troops and horses attacking, they are not afraid.

The battle began in an instant, and the catapults attacked one after another, throwing huge stones into the city one by one. However, after a few hours, the impregnable Fort of Ritun was unscathed, and the defenders of Tubisi in the city were very tenacious, which caused a lot of trouble for the surprise attack.

The first time I went into battle to command the battle, I encountered such a difficult bone to gnaw, looking at the tall city wall opposite Carter sighed frequently, with a sad expression on his face.

Dimis had to comfort him and said, "Don't worry, the chief of affairs, as long as we arrange it properly, Ritunburg will be at your fingertips." โ€

Carter shook his head and replied, "The walls are too high, and there are so many archers stationed in the city that we can't get close to them. โ€

Dimis smiled and said: "Don't worry, the big deal, the show is just to come, now we are just feints, and you will know when they let their guard down in the evening." โ€

This Dimis was obviously in his words, which confused Carter. Looking at Carter, who was in an anxious mood, Dimis bowed his head and told Carter an amazing secret.

It turned out that after the Duke of Ritunburg and the king climbed into marriage, he was worried that he would have some accidents in the future, so the Duke of Ritunburg prepared a back road for himself sixteen years ago, and secretly dug a tunnel from the city of Ritunburg, which could escape directly outside the city through the tunnel. In this way, he could secretly escape from the city through the tunnels when the king sent someone to arrest him.

The Duke of Ritunburg's premonition was very accurate, and later the Duke's Palace really happened to fly, and the princess was unfortunately killed when she came to Ritunburg to play. It's a pity that the Duke of Ritunburg had just escaped from the city with his family, and they happened to encounter an army of knights passing by, and this knight army was sent by the king to arrest them. The Duke of Ritunburg never thought that the knights would come to the castle from the east, as the so-called people are not as good as the sky, and the damned ones can't escape.

However, the tunnel dug by the Duke of Ritunburg left some help for the clansmen, and Dimis came to see Robitt who was imprisoned in Ritunburg in order to avoid everyone's attention, and he entered the city through this tunnel under the arrangement of Captain Phyllis. This passage has now become particularly important and crucial for the capture of Ritunburg.

After Dimis was carefully deployed, Axel and Mirรณ led the four knights to continue to block the four city gates, launching a series of attacks on the city, allowing the barbarians defending the city to focus all their attention on the defense of the city walls. And Xiao Daocheng and his headquarters knights are secretly preparing in the east of the city, and when night falls, Xiao Daocheng will secretly take the knights to the entrance outside the city to gather. The attack was set for 3 a.m., when the weakest defence was at its most vulnerable, and Dimis thought everything through.

Time passed very slowly, Carter was already a little impatient, he frowned at the starry night sky, and then asked Dimis in a low voice, "Lord Dimis, can't we attack in advance?" โ€

Dimis replied with a smile: "In order to ensure that the surprise attack achieves the best effect, it is better for us to go according to the original plan. โ€

Carter sighed, "It's too long to sit here until 3 a.m." โ€

Dimis comforted him and said, "Why don't you sleep for a while, commander-in-chief, and I'll call you when the time is almost right." โ€

Carter shook his head and said, "How did you sleep here, I was so excited, I didn't expect us to encounter such a good opportunity for the first time to attack the barbarian city." โ€

Dimis replied with a smile: "Yes, this is the best opportunity for the affairs master to make a name for himself in the world, everything is too coincidental, maybe this is the will of God." โ€

"Providence?" Carter smiled faintly: "What providence, what is the meaning of this?" โ€

Dimis's face sank, and he bowed his head to Carter and whispered: "Now that our Knight has an uncertain future, it is difficult to say who will be the final king." A person who can become a true king in everything must have been guided by an oracle, and everything that happens around him will be like a god secretly helping each other, and there will be all kinds of coincidences and opportunities. โ€

Carter's vest chilled when he heard this, and he asked in a daze, "Are you comparing ourselves to our attack on Fort Litun and getting help from the tunnel?" โ€

Dimis nodded again and again and said, "Yes, Master Affairs." In the past, I didn't really believe that the gods would help us mortals, but after a lot of experience, I had to believe that the legend of the king getting the oracle was true. For example, when we learn swordsmanship, who has not practiced swordsmanship for several years to achieve a slight success, but you practice swordsmanship as if you were born to be a god of war, making rapid progress every day, and winning the eighth place in the knight competition at the age of twelve. Now the attack on Ritunburg is such a coincidence, isn't this an oracle to the king? โ€

Carter gasped in shock, he didn't feel that he had received any oracle, because the kingdom's Prince Railton was in full swing, and if there was any oracle, it should be to confirm Prince Railton, and he was the only one in the whole Knight who was the real king.

Thinking of this, Carter couldn't help but shudder, if these words of Dimis got out, he would immediately be recognized as a rebellious thief by the Knight world, and he would compete with Prince Relton for the throne of king. So he immediately signaled to Dimis and said: "I hope this is the last time I hear you say such things, and the next time you spread rumors like this, I, Carter, will not recognize my six relatives." โ€

From Carter's face, Dimis's horror was seen, and at the same time, Carter's unshakable loyalty to His Royal Highness Prince Railton, which Dimis probably shouldn't have told him so early, after all, Carter was still young, and many things had to wait until he grew up to understand.

Dimis agreed, promised Carter not to say these things again, and continued to accompany Carter through the long waiting time.

Due to the narrow and short secret passage, in order to be able to launch an attack in the city on time at three o'clock in the morning, Xiao Daocheng started to act at two o'clock and took the lead in burrowing into the secret passage from a hidden weed.

However, the facts made it difficult for them to predict, and something unexpected happened to the night attack, Xiao Daocheng had just poked his head out of the tunnel and found that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him around him, and the countless long swords that flashed with cold light were aimed at him in unison. It turned out that the barbarians had discovered this secret passage a long time ago, and specially arranged for heavy troops to be stationed here.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Xiao Daocheng understood that it was too late to change the battle plan, and he took advantage of the barbarians' army to gather here, so he had to rush out with his sword and enter the barbarian queue alone.

Then a second knight emerged from the tunnel, and before he could raise his sword, he was shot by an arrow and fell to the ground. The third and fourth people were all like this, and it wasn't until the fifth person who was a knight chief drilled out of the ground that he reacted quickly and swung his sword to block the arrow, and then joined Xiao Daocheng's fight. Then the sixth and seventh knights also rushed out smoothly, and soon the knights who came to the ground began to become more and more numerous, and earth-shattering killing cries were heard around the exit.

The barbarians began to continue to surpass the reinforcements, and more Knight knights continued to pour out of the tunnels, and the battle began to become more and more fierce, almost alarming the entire Tubis defenders of Ritunburg.

Xiao Daocheng led the knights to form a large circle, resisting the attacks of barbarians from all directions, and the knights protecting the tunnel entrance quickly drilled out to form a new queue. When Dimis jumped out of the ground with a long sword in his hand, Xiao Daocheng left a sentence: "Lord Dimis, the situation is very critical, I will leave it to you first." โ€

After speaking, Xiao Daocheng waved his arms, cut off the head of the opponent's barbarian with a sword, and then led a hundred or so knights to directly launch a fierce attack on the right side to break through. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Daocheng led the knights to tear through a gap, and then they disappeared behind the barbarians who had reunited their encirclement.

Dimis slashed frantically left and right, and directly took the knights to take over, continued to resist the attack of the barbarians, and continued to protect the subsequent knights to take turns to drill out of the tunnel.

The battle in the city became more and more fierce, and here at the city gate, Asel and Miro continued to attack, and finally even Dirmit joined the siege queue with the knights.

An hour later, a thousand knights had gathered near the tunnel entrance, and under the leadership of Dimis, the knights had begun to defend and attack. Dimis left five hundred knights to continue to protect the tunnel entrance, and he himself led a brigade of knights to launch a fierce assault in the direction of the left, heading straight for the west gate of Ritunburg.

In the chaos, Xiao Daocheng was like a bamboo, he slashed all the way into the Duke's Palace, and directly killed the barbarian in the compound of the commander-in-chief of Litunburg. When he raised his sword and attacked another commander, Morey, the clever Morey once again sensed that something was wrong, and he hurried through the back door under the cover of the guards.

The Tubis who had lost their commander were like a group of rangers, and when they saw the city full of knights, they had to defend themselves on the spot, slowly waiting for death to come!

As Dimis opened the western gate with his own hands, Assel outside the city hurriedly rode his horse and led the army into the city in the rain of arrows, startling the Tubis people to shoot indiscriminately in panic.

The scuffle lasted for nearly three hours, and all the barbarians were killed in the city, except for Morey, who escaped by chance. Carter showed no mercy in his treatment of the captives, and he took bloody revenge on the fire of the royal capital, killing all the captives in the city.

The army of the Black Knights of Tubis, who once swept through the entire Knight continent and claimed to be invincible, finally smelled the breath of death under the crushing of Carter's army.

The reconquest of Fort Ritun made Carter famous, and the Second Army captured Fort Ritinburg in just one day at a very low cost of casualties, annihilating all 5,000 Tubis defenders in the city, and winning the first major victory for the Knight after their demise.
