Chapter 99: The name of the city
Baron Edra was informed by Ann Baichen, and he hurriedly summoned all the peasants outside the city to return to the city, and at the same time gathered all the skeleton soldiers and stood on the outer city wall, looking into the distance.
Yan Yumo also rushed to the city wall, she looked up, with the support of the powerful soul spirit, she could see farther away.
At the end of the Gobi, rows of military formations like long black lines appeared, and they were like ants, gradually approaching the city of the dead, and the speed was very fast.
As Leonard's army approached, Edra saw the legionnaires in the distance.
At the forefront of the neat ranks of soldiers is a mighty knight on a war horse and covered in silver-white armor, and Leonard and a knight are running at the front!
"The enemy is coming. ”
Baron Edra clenched his fists tightly, his expression was complicated, and there was excitement, fear, and longing in his eyes.
This was the first time he had truly stood on his own territory and fought the enemy, and it was a battle of equal positions, not a one-sided torture.
"Is this the territory of the Edra family?"
Leonard rode ahead and stopped in front of the trench, looking up at the tall walls of the City of the Dead, his expression was very strange, and his eyes were shocked.
"Back to Lord Duke, if the map location is correct, this should be the territory of the Edra family. ”
Adriel stopped beside Leonard, his tone calm.
"But the news I got from the envoy of the royal capital that the territory of the Edra family had already fallen into a village twenty years ago, how did this city come out?"
Leonard's voice was a little excited, and he felt that he had been deceived: "The walls of the royal capital are only half as high, and you tell me that this is the fallen Edra family?"
"Lord Duke, this ...... I don't know. Yadli smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was also shocked.
There is nothing in this Gobi, how did the Edra family manage to build a majestic city in the depths of the Gobi, especially such a high city!
On the continent of Eske, the level of construction of ordinary forces and kingdoms is about the same as that of the Middle Ages on Earth, and without the help of a large number of knights and wizards, the walls built by ordinary people are only a dozen meters high.
The twenty-meter-high walls of the City of the Dead are indeed unacceptable to Leonard, which is seriously inconsistent with the image of a declining village in his imagination!
In addition to the height of the wall, there was also a trench around the wall, almost ten meters wide, and the trench was so close to the wall that the knights could not form an effective charge at all.
"If you want to break through such a city, you can only rely on human life. ”
Yadli quickly gave his opinion: "Lord Duke, what should we do now?"
Leonard didn't speak, he felt that unless he prayed that Baron Edra would respect the rules of the kingdom, or if Edra didn't have enough troops, they would definitely come back in vain this time.
Leonard was silent for a while, and at Yan Yumo's signal, the figure of Baron Edra stood up from the city wall, he looked at Leonard and shouted loudly: "Leonard, what are you going to do when you come to my territory with the army!"
"Do you want to start a war!"
Edra was full of confidence and had a loud voice.
Leonard looked up at Edra standing on the city wall, and he sneered, "Baron Edla, do you still have to pretend to be a ghost at this point?"
"I already know who you are!"
"You are the baron of the Rusen Kingdom, the lowest-ranking nobleman of the Russen Kingdom, shouldn't you kneel down and salute when you see me!"
Leonard's voice was high, glaring at Edla.
According to the rules, when she saw the Duke, Edra really needed to kneel down and salute.
On the continent of Esker, many human countries have strict hierarchical rules, with different identities and completely different statuses and treatments.
"I refuse. ”
Baron Edra shook his head decisively and pointed at himself: "I am a descendant of the [Shining Knight], a mere duke is not enough for me to bow my head, when my ancestors were fighting for the country, you Leonard was not born yet." ”
Sure enough, it's a country aristocrat, and what he says is really vulgar!
Leonard's nose was crooked, and he said loudly: "Do you still know that you are a descendant of the [Shining Knight], you have obtained the secret stone vein in your own territory, why don't you give it to the kingdom!
"I'm sorry, but the Mystic Stone Vein is not mine, but my master's property. ”
Baron Edra shrugged his shoulders: "I can't give my master's property to others casually. ”
Edra did not have the slightest sense of belonging to the Russen Kingdom, and what the Russen Kingdom had done to the Edra family had wiped out the Edra family's loyalty to the royal family.
The coldness and cruelty of politics chills, and Edra now just wants to follow in the footsteps of Lord Death.
All enemies of the City of the Dead are enemies of Edla!
Baron Edla's words made Leonard's face change, and there was indeed a mysterious presence behind him.
But even so, Leonard had to keep trying, he couldn't do nothing, and Edra would turn around and withdraw his troops after a few words, so that not only would the king punish him, but his own dignity would not allow him to do so.
"Your master should be the king of the Russen Kingdom!
Leonard shouted, "Yadli, line up! Prepare to storm the city!"
"Yes!"
Yadri's face was grim, and he began to direct the formation of a thousand professional soldiers behind him, preparing to march towards the city gates.
Whether the order is correct or not, all he needs to do is complete every order given by Lord Leonard!
"Do you want to rely on these thousand soldiers to break through my city?"
Baron Edra sneered and looked at Yadli's behavior, the twenty-meter-high city walls and city gates are made of giant gates, and it is impossible to enter the interior of the city of the dead without siege equipment.
"No, they're just used to slaughter your soldiers. ”
Yadli turned, rode his horse, and bent down, his voice impassioned: "I am the one who broke through your city!"
"Although I am not as strong as the Shining Knight, I will still show you the true power of the High Knight today!"
Yadli drew his knight's spear, he squinted slightly at the city gate, and the fighting spirit in his body continued to erupt, brilliant as a small sun.
He's going to charge!
Break down the gates on your own!
The fighting spirit was agitated, making the dust on the Gobi fly, and Yadli was full of confidence and strength.
Leonard said loudly: "Edla, this is your last chance, if you don't open the city and surrender, then I will follow the rules of the kingdom and kill all the traitors!"
Yadli was ready, and just waiting for Leonard's order, he began to attack the city.
"Divine Messenger, what should I do now?"
Edra looked at Yadli with an embarrassed expression, as a descendant of the Shining Knight, he naturally knew the combat power of the high-ranking knight.
In the Eske Continent, a high-level knight is a high-end war force, and a high-level knight can easily affect the outcome of a battle.
"Do you think our city gate can't stop him?"
Yan Yumo glanced at Baron Edla, she had looked at the trenches and heavy city gates outside the city, could this high-ranking knight be so powerful?
Can a knight cross a ditch and break down a city gate alone?
"I'm afraid I can't stop it. ”
Baron Edra shook his head: "Please tell me what I should do?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Out of the city to meet the enemy!"
Baron Edra said decisively, "Lord Death has told me that Lord Bone Aotian is completely capable of restraining this high-ranking knight, and with the addition of other undead warriors, our strength can completely destroy these enemies. ”
Edra had his own opinions and ideas about military warfare, after all, his ancestors had left behind many books and experiences on knightly warfare.
Even though the family has declined, this knowledge has still been passed down intact.
"Since we are both of the same strength, and even stronger than the enemy, we don't need to wait for him to break through the gates before fighting, we can put the battlefield outside the city. ”
"Due to the limitations of the trenches, the knights cannot charge on a large scale, and we can take advantage of the skeletons' hand-to-hand combat to a greater extent. ”
Baron Edla's voice was hurried, he quickly explained, Yan Yumo was silent for a while and then nodded: "Okay, just do as you say, you can command them." ”
Baron Edra was overjoyed: "I will not let the gods disappoint your lordship!"
Outside the city.
Leonard waited for a while, but did not see Baron Edra open the gates and surrender.
"It seems that he is determined to betray the Ruin Forest Kingdom. ”
Leonard took a deep breath, ready for Yard to charge.
With a senior knight in hand, he doesn't think he will lose, then you love to have more hole cards, only not as strong as a senior knight, are doomed to defeat!
"Yadli!"
Just as Leonard shouted for Yadli to start leading the charge, the gates opened!
"Crunch, crunch!"
The heavy city gate was pushed open, and Leonard looked happy: "Edla, have you figured it out?"
Is this guy going to surrender?
Sure enough, he is still afraid of the power of high-level knights, after all, this is the high-end combat power on the Eske continent!
"yes, I figured it out. ”
Baron Edla's voice came from the castle tower, with a hint of coldness in his voice: "I figured it out, I'm going to kill all of you enemies who have invaded the territory!"
"You traitor!"
Leonard was furious, and he felt like he was being teased.
"Your Excellency, give the order. Yadli said in a deep voice, now that the gates are open, this is the best chance.
Although he can force his way through the city gates, it will cost a lot of fighting energy, and it would be unwise to spend too much fighting energy before the war officially begins.
If he could, Adri would prefer to seize the opportunity now and lead the knights into the city gates to destroy the enemy.
"Hmm!"
Leonard nodded and ordered, "Go and kill all the enemies and capture this traitor before me!"
"Yes!"
Adlipin held the knight's spear, and the knightly brigade behind him gathered and lined up, and they were ready to begin to lead the knights to charge, to leap over the trench and rush into the city gate.
At that moment, there was movement in the wide open gate.
"Bang! bang!"
The sound of uniform footsteps came, as if a giant was striding forward, giving people a wonderful sense of rhythm.
"This is the army!"
Yardli's face changed, and he could hear the footsteps coming from inside the city gate, this is an elite army! All the soldiers of the entire army move in unison, as if one person can walk out of such a neat step, this is the most elite army!
Leonard and Yardley couldn't help but look at the city gate, and in their shocked gaze, groups of skeletal soldiers with white skeletons and different styles of bony weapons on their arms stepped out. Their black hole eyes flickered with soul fire, and every time they took a step and raised their hands, they looked neatly like the same person.
Behind the skeleton soldiers, there were rows of corpses, with iron complexion, pale complexions, corpse spots on their skin, a foul smell all over their bodies, and stiff steps. Oh my God, these are free-moving corpses! They're a bunch of dead people, but why are they just as free to move as the living!
Behind the zombies were a column of floating ghosts, humanoid ghosts, with expressions of struggle and pain on their transparent faces, and they kept making painful screams that made their eardrums as they floated.
What a force this is!
"I ...... Oh my God!" Leonard's mouth was wide open and his expression glazed over, he had never seen these creatures before.
The proud and powerful Yardli was also stunned, he had never fought such an enemy, this was beyond his common sense and cognition.
"I forgot to tell you. ”
Baron Edra stood on the city wall and looked down at the knight brigade, his expression was cold, and his voice was full of fanaticism: "The name of this city, the city of the dead!"
