Back at camp, Anthony was annoyed by Cook's ingenious escape. At this time, Morey's fifteenth knights were stationed on the side, waiting for Anthony to enter the city and take over the garrison.

One of the guards walked into Anthony's tent and asked Anthony, "Dear Captain Anthony, Lord Morey has appointed me to ask you how long it will take to take this city of Nedo?" ”

Anthony was very angry, he was very dissatisfied with the system of changing the garrison of the Empire, and the knights stationed in the garrison were like overseers, and even urged themselves in turn. Anthony said very unhappily: "What's the hurry, he has the ability to attack by himself, isn't it just to defend and garrison, just wait, how can he be more anxious than me." ”

In front of the mighty Anthony of the Empire, the guards didn't dare to say anything, so they had to knock on the leader's order and say, "Obey, Captain!" ”。 After the guard finished speaking, he respectfully withdrew from the camp.

As soon as the guard left, Anthony's chief knight immediately got into the camp tent and reported in a hurry: "Commander, the prince has sent a military order, as if we should leave early tomorrow morning and rush back to the royal capital of Knight at once. ”

Anthony was stunned for a moment, his original plan was to let himself lead the army to take Nedor, and then capture Dragon City, destroying the last hope of the Knights, so that he could obtain unprecedented military exploits. But before this Nedo was defeated, why did he suddenly change the battle plan.

Puzzled, Anthony reached out and took the Prince's letter from the chief knight's hand and read it carefully. After reading the letter, a dark cloud appeared on Anthony's face, and he stood in silence without saying a word.

The chief knight probed and asked, "What's the matter, Captain, is there something wrong with the royal capital?" ”

Anthony glanced back at him and replied slowly, "The knights of the Knight's Fengdu have left the northern route and are approaching the royal capital in the south. The counteroffensive of the Knight is unstoppable, and we have already lost two Imperial Knights at the North Crossing. ”

The knight chief was very confused, and he asked rhetorically, "Didn't you say that Feng is no one, why is there still a knight order?" ”

Anthony's expression was heavy, and he explained, "It seems that we underestimated the strength of the Knight and were confused by their appearance. Feng is the holy land of the Knights, and there are countless hot-blooded Knight believers in the territory, this should be their improvised knight order, and the combat effectiveness is so strong. From this point of view, it is even more important to occupy the territory of Fengdu, if they form more knights like this, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose this war. ”

The chief knight suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. No wonder the prince is in such a hurry to recall you back to the royal capital, probably hoping that you will go to lead the army to deal with this Fengdu Knights. It's just that I don't quite understand that there are three captains on the north side, Utores, Heller, and Yale. They are all big names on the battlefield, why does the prince have to recall you to the royal capital? ”

Anthony replied calmly: "Lord Utores must stay in the royal capital to protect the prince, and he can't leave the royal capital. Heller needs to sit in the Victorn Territory and maintain local law and order and land management. Widun is the largest granary of the Knights, and only by stabilizing Widun can our crusade army and empire receive a steady supply of food. As for Yale, he should be attacking Cobilon right now. Cobilon's location is very important, with Nila and Beijung to the east, and Vidun and the royal capital to the west. The three group leaders are all shouldering the heavy responsibilities of the empire, so it is naturally inconvenient to deal with Fengdu. At the moment, I am the only one who can be drawn out, so the prince thought of letting me return to the royal capital. ”

After speaking, Anthony opened his mouth and asked, "Where are the Eighth and Nineteenth Knights of the Empire now, and how long will it take for them to come over?" ”

The chief knight replied, "They are still on the plain on the north side, and they should be able to come to the city of Nedor by to-morrow afternoon." ”

Anthony nodded and said, "Okay, then we will take Nedor City tonight, and Dragon City will be handed over to Johansen and them to conquer." ”

Johansen was the head of the Eighth Knights of the Tubis Empire, and together with Osborne, the leader of the Nineteenth Knights, he led the two knights on a hurried march to the interior. As part of the Empire's fast-moving war plan, the two of them were tasked with assisting Anthony in his assault on Dragon City as an aid to the Fourth Knights of the Anthony Empire.

Anthony was a very responsible commander, and although he received an urgent dispatch from the Prince, he could have left the task of attacking the city of Nedor to Johansen and Osborne, but he still hoped to take care of the city of Nedor himself, and then he could leave with peace of mind.

Night covered the entire city of Nedo, and in the moonlight the smoke rising from the city, and the Tubisi people outside the city were still throwing burning stones, and the battle had been going on all day, and the soldiers on both sides were exhausted.

Most of the people in the city had died from the barbarian attack, and the streets and alleys were littered with corpses, and the miserable scene could not bear to look at directly. The chief knight guarding Nedor had been killed, and the remaining 300 or so knights were under the command of a chief guard, who were still struggling to support themselves with the strength of the walls. However, with two thousand barbarians lined up outside the city, and a knight of barbarians waiting, the Knight was desperate for this war.

In the darkness of the night, Anthony appeared at the front of the position in armor, holding a knight-style spear and a knight-style sword hanging from his waist.

The chief knight in charge of attacking Nedor hurriedly reported: "Respected Captain Anthony, why are you here?" ”

Anthony was an excellent Imperial Commander-in-Chief who rarely blamed his subordinates and never got angry for no reason. Seeing that his knight's face was covered with soot, Anthony opened his mouth and said: "The knight has worked hard, you lead everyone back to rest first, and wait for me Anthony to attack in person." ”

The excellent commander sat down, and naturally there were also excellent subordinate officers, and the knight chief hurriedly dissuaded: "Commander, let's continue to attack the city." Please give me another three hours, just three hours, and I promise to take the city of Nedo. ”

Three hours, another three hours wasted, the Knights will not be able to rest well tonight, which will definitely affect the departure tomorrow morning. Anthony couldn't wait any longer, and he instructed the chief knight, "Well, I'll take charge of the main attack, and you and your men will continue to throw rolling stones." ”

Anthony said this in full consideration for the face of the chief knight, and allowed him to take the honor of conquering the city of Nedo with him. After receiving the order, the chief knight continued to command the catapult battle.

Anthony then tore off his cloak and personally pushed the siege engine with his knights, launching a full-scale assault on the city of Nedo.

Arrows rained down overhead, and the Knight on the walls were still putting up desperate resistance, and their morale didn't seem to be affected in the slightest. Anthony hid under the shield, pushed the siege vehicle hard, and kept muttering in his heart: Who is the commander of this knight of Neido, the war has been fought like this, and they have not even considered surrendering.

As more than a dozen chariots approached the city walls, Anthony personally boarded the siege engines with his guards and poured countless arrows into the walls of the walls. The knights on the city wall died tragically, but then countless Knight soldiers were added, like a human wall that could never be broken, and the fighting spirit was awe-inspiring.

Anthony was obviously unmoved, and with his great strength, he quickly jumped up the city wall, and swept around with a spear, making a gap in the wall in an instant. The black knight behind him kept following, quickly occupying a corner of the city wall, and engaged in a fierce battle with the knight of Knight who was sticking here.

Anthony took the lead with a shot, and the spear was pointed at as if it was in a no-man's land, and in the first battle, several knights fell under his spear.

Seeing such a formidable opponent, the knights of Knight panicked and retreated one after another.

At this time, a chief guard rushed out from behind, and ordered the knights of Knight to say, "Hold them all on my shoulders, it is nothing more than death, what is there to be afraid of." ”

It was such a very common remark, but the knights of Knight immediately came to their senses, and they regrouped and gathered behind the chief of the guard, ready to fight the barbarians on the walls to the end.

Anthony admired the courage of the chief of the guard, and thought that he was a character, so he asked, "This chief of the guard, may I ask which knight of Knight you belong to, and what should you call him?" ”

The head of the guard sneered and said, "I'm just a small person, my name doesn't matter, and you don't know me when I say it." Without further ado, let's see how I take your life. ”

After saying that, the chief guard swung his sword and slashed at Anthony, startling Anthony to dodge. Before Anthony could stand firm, the long sword of the captain of the guard struck again with the sound of whirring, so that Anthony could only raise his gun in embarrassment.

There was only a bang, and the two blades collided with each other, and then the barrel of the gun was still vibrating wildly in Anthony's hand, making a buzzing sound. This strength is really not small, I didn't expect a small guard chief to be so powerful, Anthony couldn't help but sigh and said: "Good strength, sure enough, there are two hits." ”

After saying that, Anthony raised his gun and stabbed back, forcing the captain of the guard to retreat again and again, and it was obvious that Anthony's marksmanship had the upper hand. Anthony, however, was very polite, and decided not to take advantage of the chief of the guard, so he threw his spear aside, stretched out his hand, drew the long sword from his waist, and said, "I'd better use the long sword, so that it will be fair to you." ”

The chief guard was furious, and he unceremoniously raised his sword to attack, and the fight with Anthony was very fierce.

On the battlefield, between life and death, what is fought is skill, and what is compared is real strength. Although the captain of the guard was very good, he was unlucky to meet Anthony, he accidentally showed a flaw and was hit in the chest by Anthony's sword.

No one expected that the chief guard would be so tenacious, and before he died, he used his last strength to slash Anthony in the shoulder with a sword.

Anthony suffered great pain from his carelessness, and blood slowly ran down his left shoulder along the armor. In addition to being shocked, Anthony watched in a daze as the chief guard fell to the ground, and the eyes that stared at Anthony seemed to be very unwilling, full of countless anger.

Seeing the captain of the guard Knight slashing the regimental commander, the barbarian guards on the side were furious, and they were about to stab the captain of the guard with a swing of their guns, but Anthony stretched out his hand to stop them.

After exhaling his last breath, the chief of the guard finally closed his eyes and completed his final mission of martyrdom.

Anthony reached out and touched the wound on his shoulder, with a painful expression on his face, he hurriedly turned his head and asked the knight of Knight opposite, "Please tell me, who is this chief of guard, and what is his name?" ”

The knights of Knight were silent, and only one young man spoke, "I heard that he is from the Knights of the Royal Capital and is the chief of guard of Lord Fawkes. ”

It turned out that this chief of guard was only the temporary commander of Ritunburg, and not the actual officer stationed here. It is unusual that a passing captain of the guard can command the defenders of Ritunburg so well.

After hearing this, Anthony stretched out his hand and inserted the long sword into the scabbard, raised his head and sighed: "It's Fox again, this chief instructor is really not simple." ”

In the more than two years of war, although Anthony swept through the battlefield of Knight, he also encountered this ruthless character countless times. And what made him wonder the most was that among these powerful Knights, many of them had a relationship with Fox, which made Anthony have to admire the strength of this chief instructor and the cultivation of so many outstanding talents.

Thinking of this, Anthony remembered that Cook during the day, that extraordinary boy, who in the future might turn into a formidable enemy that would be feared by the Empire.

It was time to end the war here, and Anthony then gave the order, and the Black Knights swarmed up and slaughtered the last of the Knight defenders on the walls, so that Nedo was successfully taken.
