Chapter 316: Bloody Battle (Part II)

"Attack!"

With an order, the Knights of the Apocalypse launched another large-scale attack. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If it weren't for the heavy artillery batteries arranged inside by the Trebizons, they would have completely attacked the city of Trebizond.

But what made them even more afraid was the ancient mecha that suddenly appeared!

"Your Excellency Urban, what should we do now?" Clement showed a hesitant look, he was not afraid of the so-called ancient mechas, after all, they were also elite divisions, but they originally wanted to fight bloodlessly, but the gradual casualties and the delay in action of Dandoro on the periphery had to make Clement hesitate.

Although the Holy See belonged to the cardinal, the nominal supreme leader, the Pope, did not have the power commensurate with it, and although the possibility of tyrants was ruled out, the intrigue of the Roman aristocracy became superficial. Naturally, the Swiss Guards, who were on the side of the military department, and the Knights of the Apocalypse, who were in close contact with the Inquisition, could not be on the side, and Clement was reminding Urban that they would lose more than they would lose if they lost too much.

"I know, that's why we're going to go out ourselves." Urban, however, remained unmoved, and seemed to have a decision of his own.

As the head of the four knights, since Urban has made a decision, the other three knights can only obey.

……

"Your Majesty!" The officers of the military headquarters were already exhausted and disgraced from the flames of war. But their king is still fighting alongside them. As a commoner, they are naturally willing to stay here and fight against the Holy See Army, so as to buy time for the evacuation of refugees, but what they themselves don't know is that at this moment, those nobles have already slipped away with their millions of fortunes.

King Angros was now tired on his face, his injuries were still severe, and he was even a little anemic, but he was still commanding the army. If it weren't for the fortifications that had already been built, they would not have been able to withstand it for so long under the cover of powerful firepower.

But under the current situation, the time for them to resist is getting less and less, and under the combination of the mecha knights and ancient mecha on the periphery, although they can barely repel the attacks of the Apocalypse Knights wave after wave, they are already at the end of their crossbows. At this time, the young men of the army sent them to try to persuade their king to leave here, and they did not want this old man to be crushed here with them. Most of the civilians in these military departments were middle- and lower-level officers, and of course they would not evacuate without regard for the civilians like their superiors, after all, their relatives were in the city.

Even if they die, they will never take a step back!

But King Angros shook his head and said, "I am already old, and the hope for the future is in you young people." Sylvia pleases you. ”

"Your Majesty!" Although I don't know what the next plan of this old man in front of him is, if they leave here, who else will be able to resist these terrifying mecha legions?

"Let's go quickly, that's my last hope. I've been waiting for more than a decade with nothing to do, and this fate is the best ending for me. ”

The young Zhuang faction in the military department was originally the most courageous and domineering men, who had been on the battlefield and regarded life and death as nothing, and they had been bloodied many times as grassroots officers, but at this moment they felt so heartache that they could not control themselves.

"Your Majesty!" The officer at the head couldn't bear it, he still wanted to persuade Angros, and these battle-hardened men couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

But King Angros pressed his shoulders and smiled softly and said, "Cherish, cherish." You and I are both Herodians, and our once great empire finally fell, but when the great calamity is approaching, each of us takes on our own responsibilities, what is there to cry about? ”

After saying goodbye, the old man clapped his hands, only to hear him sigh softly, "Let's go, let's go, let's go our own way." I hope you can shine under the command of the Knight King. ”

The tears that had been restrained finally fell, and the officers of the Young Zhuang faction leaned down and kowtowed, pressing their faces against the cold ground. The sound of whimpering echoed in the war room of the Nuoda, like the wailing of a flock of birds.

But at this moment, an anxious voice sounded from outside the door.

Despite the guards' obstruction, the girl rushed in, and she watched her grandfather say goodbye to the young Zhuang faction of the military headquarters. At this time, the atmosphere is clear, as if it is a farewell to life and death.

"Why?" Sylvia couldn't understand why her grandfather was doing this. There was still time to escape, but Angelos made this choice.

"Why is that? Even if it's for the kingdom of Trebizond, what's the need to exist without you? It's too late to leave, Your Majesty! We are willing to pay our blood for you! "There are also a few knights in the military department, and they have responded to the hope that Angelos will retract the decision he has made.

But-

"Bastard!" The old man was furious, "Have you forgotten what I just taught you?" The hope of this country is not in me, a crippled old man, but in you and the people! If I live and you all die, then there is nothing but despair, then I am no different from the nobles who have fled! In this troubled world, there is nothing worth guarding except hope! ”

The officer of the Shaozhuang faction was stunned for a moment, his face was ashamed but unwilling, but he had to swallow the words in his mouth again under the majestic gaze of Angros. But Sylvia was naturally unwilling in her heart, the things that King Angros had left behind had been hidden from her, and if she hadn't heard someone say something about leaking, I'm afraid she would have been kept in the dark.

"Grandpa, I beg you not to do this! As long as there is His Royal Highness Justine, there will be no problem! Sylvia choked up and pleaded with her grandfather, as there was no need for such a sacrifice with the Knight King here.

"Sylvia, Sylvia," the old man sighed softly, gently stroking the tears from his granddaughter's cheeks, "why don't you understand?" Even if he is a knight king, he is only a person, and his strength has a limit after all. We can't bet our hopes entirely on him alone. ”

"But—"

Not wanting to listen to Sylvia's persuasion, Angelos ordered several guards to forcibly take Sylvia who refused to leave, and the other young officers in the room also said goodbye to their king with tears in their eyes.

For a time, Angros was the only one left in the operations command room. This fortification was originally intended to prevent Trebizond from being captured and used to fight for the retreat from the sea, when the wealth of the kingdom was almost exhausted, and its dense artillery defense system could barely resist the attack of the opposing army, but the opponent's mecha army was obviously not fully developed. Angros knew that time was running out.

He dragged his old body and slowly walked towards the long road. The operational command room was located underground, so it was able to avoid heavy artillery fire for a short time, but it was completely pointless to continue to hide underneath now.

The sound of the artillery outside has obviously weakened a lot, and it seems that the turret has been basically eliminated by the other side, and only a few mecha corps and armored troops on the periphery are resisting.

"It's time too." Angros let out a sigh.

The old man finally walked onto the ground, the fortress burning, and the ground was so hot that it felt like he couldn't settle down.

……

"Everybody's out of action, everybody's out there!" Urban's instructions were conveyed to the ears of every knight via communicator.

And for a while, the knights of the Holy See really stopped attacking temporarily. Because there were instances of the sea wall being attacked in Constantinople at the beginning, so it was extremely dangerous, so this defensive fortress near the sea was no weaker than the outside of the city, and they spent a lot of effort to completely pull out one fire point after another, but now their knight commander ordered them to stop attacking, naturally many people were puzzled.

By this time, Trebizond's defenses were running out.

Except for the last few mechas, even the ancient mecha was completely destroyed by the joint efforts of several Apocalypse Knights.

"Why did they stop attacking?" The Herod Knight, who was still nervous, watched the fading torrent of steel still hide in the rubble and ruins of the ruins, and did not dare to come out easily.

"I don't know...... But it's certainly not going to be just that. ”

In the darkness, only the light of the fire faintly illuminates the eyes, but it makes people feel even more nervous. A few hours of attack, although it was close to dawn, but this was the darkest time.

The apprehensive soldiers stared at the direction of the other party's retreat, and sure enough, four huge sound figures appeared on the horizon.

Although there are only four mechas, the sense of oppression brought by them is far greater than the torrent of steel just now. Although it is not known what happened, the remaining Trabizon army decided to stand by the battle.

Even if it is not a simple enemy, it is only four knights, and they still have an advantage in numbers, but the enhanced fourth-generation aircraft has not yet reached that crushing situation.

But they still thought too easily, because they were facing the four knights of the Apocalypse Knights.

"Are you ready, gentlemen?"

"We are honored to have you personally lead us into battle." Clement was not in the slightest bit rebellious, but very respectful. This man has reached the age of establishment, and generally speaking, he should have retired, but because of this man's outstanding ability, the big man of the Holy See did not approve his application for retirement, but continued to retain his status as a knight.

Although he is not a gifted knight like Dandoro, this man has proved with his own efforts that sometimes knights do not rely entirely on talent, but also require great perseverance.

"Yes, it's been a long time since I've sat in a mecha, maybe after these things are over, I can really retire safely and find a quiet place to live in seclusion with my family." Urban sighed softly, what he had always hoped for most was to be able to say goodbye to his current post and live an ordinary life with his family on a small island in the south, but the Holy See was using people.

At this time, the remnants of Trebizond's army were quietly assembled and ready to attack.

But they didn't act rashly, after all, even if it was four mechas, all kinds of phenomena showed that the other party was not an easy target to destroy, but could be an unprecedented enemy.

Every knight is not afraid of death, and they are ready to die in battle if they stay here.

The darkness before dawn brought great convenience to their stealth, and the other party obviously hadn't discovered them yet, and at this distance they could already launch an attack, only to see the four mechs approaching step by step. At the moment when the other party stepped into the ambush circle, the knights collectively turned the power core of their car at full power, and output it with all their might, wanting to pounce on the other party. But suddenly, the aura of slaughter came to their faces, and the four mechas, which they had seen one moment and seemed to be unguarded, were close to them the next moment!

That's a super-mobile mech!

Just when they were shocked, the opponent's heavy sword was already roaring in front of them.

With this agility and speed, is this a super-maneuverable mech?

The knights instinctively set up their dragon tooth swords, trying to block the other man's sword, but they couldn't hear the friction between the blades as expected. With a "bang", I saw that the heavy sword had already swept past its blade and slashed directly at it, and the armor plate made of special metal material was like a knife cutting butter that was about to melt, allowing the opponent's giant sword to split his car in two.

The beastly knights rushed straight into the midst of the knights of Trebizond, and it was a complete slaughter, with no clanging of weapons to be heard, only the sound of greatswords cutting through metal.

For a moment, those who had hoped were still in a cold hell, in the darkness they could only see each other moving at high speed, and with each attack, one of their companions must fall. This is a qualitative gap, and their ideas are so ridiculous and absurd.

These professional soldiers, who were already on the battlefield and looked at death as if they were at home, now they were roaring, screaming like a pathetic deserter, without any dignity, because despair had crushed them.

But they soon won't have to endure the pain.

The mecha fell one after another, unable to get up again, and when the last knight fell on his back, the four knight captains had already raised their heavy swords and stopped attacking, leaving a faint cloud of steam behind the mech.

None of the mecha had any extra wounds on its body, and the cockpit was directly destroyed, and the knights inside naturally survived, and the other stragglers were naturally not a problem.

Despite the price of blood, the gap is so huge that they are no match for the four knights, and the city is only one step away from destruction.
