Chapter 174: Ice Lake Funeral (Part II)

Although there was no mecha to support them, the battle on the Neva River was raging, and with the help of auxiliary knights and servants, the Teutonic Knights finally launched an attack on the fortress. This also made the pressure on the Rus coalition much greater in an instant. But it's not despair, after all, the opponent's main battle knight hasn't come out yet, after all, that's their biggest enemy.

The well-trained Teutons suffered heavy casualties due to the dense firepower, and the soldiers who rushed to the bridgehead even dropped their muskets and drew their sabers to engage in hand-to-hand combat, while the mixture of companions and enemies made it difficult for both sides to use heavy artillery bombardment.

"Damn, how could it be?!" Some of the annoyed Kesman Legion Commander also couldn't sit still, no matter what aspect the combat effectiveness of the Rus' army was completely behind the Teutons, if this continued, the fortress might really not be able to hold, but now the other party is only dispatching ordinary auxiliary troops, and even the shadow of the mecha has not seen a few, if he loses the fortress in this way, then he will be discredited.

"Father, no, Your Excellency the Legion Commander! Give the order! Beside him, Sergei watched as Commander Kesman pleaded for orders to fight.

And Kesman seems to be hesitating whether to put the elite mecha given to him by Vladimir's big bus into battle, after all, this is the backbone of the principality, the pillar of the country! However, if the stalemate is not broken, sooner or later, the coalition forces of the fortress will not be able to withstand the fierce attack of the other side.

Both sides fired at the bridgehead, and in any case the new rifles were much more powerful and sustained than the smoothbore guns, and more and more corpses fell, and blood stained the Neva River. And the soldiers were also red-eyed, and the sabers in their hands slashed at the enemy's neck. And the Rus' coalition forces are clearly difficult to resist.

What is needed now is a game-changing existence!

I'm sorry, Grand Duke, but if Novgorod falls this time all our efforts will be in vain.

Looking at his son, Captain Kesman finally made up his mind.

"Get ready to attack!"

"Yes!"

At the same time, it was snowing heavily.

・・・・・・

Unlike other Rus' regions, Northwestern Rus' is close to the Ice Ocean, and although it is at a very high latitude, it is not covered with snow as inland, on the contrary, the monsoon in spring and summer makes the weather along the coast much milder, but in recent years, the weather in Novgorod has become more and more abnormal, and it is as cold as a midwinter day, when it should be a mild spring.

Fortunately, with the advent of the mechanical age, the changes in the weather can no longer hinder the progress of the army, and all obstacles from nature are no longer obstacles.

But it snowed again in Novgorod, but this did not slow down the Teutonic Knights, and the torrent of steel continued to frantically approach Pskov.

Even the mechs, most of the Teutonic Knights' backbone no longer approve of continuing to speed up, but Kniprode has no plans to do so.

"Full speed ahead!" Kniprod was acting like an iron-fisted king, and no one could change his decision.

All of them were silent, they couldn't change their current mind that the Grand Master was bent on going his own way, and all they could do was to move forward to destroy their enemies and end this protracted war.

"Fifteen kilometers from Voronikamen." Voronikamento Island is a small island connecting Novgorod and Pskov, and it is a place where they must pass, and they must rush to Pskov in the shortest possible time to destroy the main forces of Novgorod.

Kniprod piloted the Black Reaper, the head of the Teutonic Knights, and as the supreme commander of the Teutonic Knights, he was not only an excellent noble lord, but also a feared knight. It's been almost a decade, and the Teutonic knights haven't seen their Grand Master piloting a mech, but even his mechs are still terrifying.

"How's it going, is there any news from Decynais?" Kniprod asked over the intercom.

"No news for the time being."

The man's face sank slightly, and he didn't speak, but Kniprod was also a little uneasy in his mood, this time Alexander was too abnormal, although he knew that the previous strategy would not work for Alexander, but he didn't expect Alexander to attack Pskov in the rear unexpectedly, what tricks he had, Kniprod couldn't see it.

But under the crushing of absolute power, even if Alexander had any clever ideas, he was unable to recover. Kniprod has his self-confidence, those fragile T-mechs are simply useless, and Alexander this time is just trying to delay time with his cleverness, but this time he will not give him this chance again.

The Teutonic Knights were rushing like a tidal wave, and under the heavy snowfall, all the knights could see was a vast white snowfield, and if it weren't for someone in charge of guiding the way, they would have lost their way.

Due to the frequent heavy snowfalls in the Rus' region, the Teutonic Knights had long since placed signposts on the main roads to prevent them from getting lost, and the same is true for the shortcut they are taking now. What they didn't know, however, was that at this time their direction was deviating from their original location, and they were not heading to the island of Voronikamen, but to the cemetery that Alexander had prepared for them long ago, Lake Chud.

・・・・・・

"They're already here." Alexander looked at the telegram he had received, and his mood was relieved, at this time the plan was halfway completed, and his enemy Kniprod still did not realize that he was now heading towards death.

"You've already made this plan." Constance Dante looked at the map in front of him and whispered.

"Yes, this plan was prepared a year ago, even if you don't show up, I will take action, but the addition of Cons Dante can give you a better chance of winning." Alexander smiled. And he looked behind Constance Dante, and there was a locomotive slowly approaching, and on it was carrying some behemoth, which was covered with a thick canvas.

"In other words, I actually replaced the mission of number ten in the underground casino, right? The weapons you have hoarded in the underground casinos are probably for today! And Cons Dante immediately guessed it, because he saw that the boy with the number ten in the underground gambling shovel was also brought over.

"It's really worthy of Constance Dante, who Vincent can agree with, what you said is not wrong, everything is for today." Alexander did not shy away from saying. "Kniprod thought he knew everything about me, but he didn't understand that even a cunning fox had to show its fangs when he killed his prey. Today will be the funeral of the Teutonic Knights. And Cons, Dante, you and I will have the privilege of witnessing this moment with our own eyes. Witness the rise and fall of the Knights. ”
