Chapter 475: The Rescue Team (5,000 Words First Update)
It's also a good thing that the players didn't attack at the first time, but tried their best to sneak into the prison and lock themselves up, at least the guards guarding the Duke of York's castle weren't attacked too hard by the players.
With players busy surrendering all day long, entering the castle, and then becoming a glorious slave warrior and undergoing brutal training, who has the strength to storm the castle? As for the few who wanted to attack the castle, they were completely unable to break through the castle's defenses, and it was completely impossible to cause any damage to the castle.
The Victorians who were outside the castle tried their best to enter the castle and surrender, and some even crawled in while it was dark.
Of course, it is impossible for these people who have climbed in to be released again, and as for killing them, the Duke of York is really reluctant, after all, every Victorian is not afraid of pain and fights bravely. Where to find such a fighter?
These people were all locked up in the prison for the first time, and in the past few days, there have been more and more people who have come in over the wall, sneaked in through the moat, and even quietly followed in disguise when the city gate was opened. Within a week's time, the entire castle's prisons were overcrowded with Victorians.
It is initially estimated that about five or six hundred people are being held in prison, and the number is still rising, after all, with more and more players coming in, other players also know more ways to blend into the castle on the forum, and there is even a Victorian who took advantage of the darkness to directly touch the prison, who knows how this Victorian knows where the prison is?
When the prison guards saw the Victorians in the prison early the next morning, they were all shocked.
They repeatedly checked to see if the new Victorian had been captured before, or if someone else had just been captured. As a result, no one had seen him before, and it was as if he had suddenly appeared in prison.
According to the Victorian himself, it is:
"Please, lock me up, I'm willing to be your slave, let me fight, it's no problem to fight for the rest of my life."
I never thought that such a person would be in prison, but there was no way but to let him out, and the prison guards had to keep the Victorians in prison.
Later, more and more Victorians began to appear in the prison, and even in the Duke of York's castle, you can see those Victorians dressed as maids or other various clerks, looking for guards around the castle to catch themselves.
By the 10th day, there were more than 1,000 Victorians in prison. All of them were crammed into small cages, and the prison, which had only been able to hold two or three hundred people, was now full. Even the prison guards suggested to the Duke of York that the extra Victorians should be cleared, otherwise it would be too dangerous.
But the Duke of York, out of his own dreams and goals, was really reluctant to kill such a good warrior.
There was such a wonderful relationship between the people of the whole Victorian Free City and the Duke of York, and when Queen Victoria learned of all this, Lilo frowned and asked the three hamsters on the side.
"What are they doing? Did they betray Victoria? ”
Lilo asked, but the hamster replied quickly:
"No, master, I think this is one of the tactics of those people, you see that thousands of them have infiltrated the Duke of York's castle, and if we give the order, they can blossom from the center of the internal explosion."
As soon as the hamster boss finished speaking, the second hamster on the side also said: "That's right, I think so too, this is really a very magical strategy, but as long as we can take the castle, no matter what method is acceptable." ”
The third hamster also followed suit: "Can we have dinner?" ”
Lilo listened to the words of the three hamsters, thought about it, and finally nodded.
"You have some point, so let them continue to mingle in the castle. When the time comes, we will take the castle in one fell swoop,"
Lilo said to the three hamsters.
As for what exactly these players want to do, Lancelot is not very clear, and he has seen players constantly wanting to enter the castle these days. Originally, he thought that they were going to go in and do some damage, but from the other players, he knew that they were not going to go in and destroy but to surrender.
As a knight, you can't allow such a thing as surrender, at least normally, but these Victorians are certainly not normal people. It is absolutely impossible for the Victorians to surrender because they are afraid, so their surrender is definitely not a reason for fear.
So what are their plans? Is it really ready to blast from the inside?
However, judging from the situation observed in the past few days, they don't seem to plan to blow up internally, but want to follow the Duke of York, if this is really the case, it is a serious betrayal, he has also told Queen Victoria Lilo about this, but Queen Victoria doesn't seem to take it seriously, and clearly told him that Victorians will never betray themselves, and they can't betray themselves.
Probably some kind of secret to restraining them, Lancelot thought. In my memory, whenever Lilo appeared, the rebellious Victorians would become very well-behaved, not only did not say a word, but also stared at their queen without even leaving the road.
Of course, in addition to this matter, Lancelot has many things to worry about, such as the defense of the stronghold, because of the betrayal of those Victorians, the Duke of York already knew about the existence of the stronghold, and sent special personnel to test it and confirm the existence of the stronghold. And when the Duke of York discovered this stronghold, he must have thought about pulling out this stronghold for the first time, but fortunately, Lancelot was very particular about the location, and there was protection from the high ground on all sides, and there was only one place to enter, so that the guards could not easily attack such a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Besides, they are not as numerous as the Victorians, and even if more than 1,000 people are imprisoned by them, there are still 3,000 left. They could only briefly probe it, then retreat, and never came again.
Only occasionally a few guards came over and watched them, just in case they attacked.
Lancelot saw that the Duke's castle didn't seem to have the ability to attack again, but he couldn't rest at all.
The earls and vassals under the command of the Duke of York must have already arrived here to rescue York, maybe they will arrive here at any time, and if all the earls and barons are here, Victoria's people will have no advantage.
Although it would not be defeated, if the castle that could have been easily taken would have begun to consume a lot of energy, Lancelot was still reluctant to do such a thing.
He'd been saying for the past few days that Queen Victoria was in a hurry to attack the castle, but the queen didn't seem to be in a hurry to do so, she wanted to see what the players were going to do.
Lancelot could only fulfill his responsibilities as a subordinate, and he began to have the players craft siege weapons.
Players' daily tasks are a little more to craft siege weapons, but this doesn't really matter to players, anyway, it's just a daily task.
The Duke of York has been very happy these days, he had seen so many Victorians besieging his castle, and he thought that this time it was over, and he was afraid that he would have to flee from his castle, but he didn't expect that those invaders only wanted to surrender.
It wasn't long before something happened that made the Duke of York even happier, and the Earls who had come to his rescue had come to the outskirts of the Dukedom.
On the outskirts of the Duke of York's domain, a large crowd of knights crowded the plain, a series of tents, and busy servants who were cooking.
The nobles rested in their tents, and their responsibilities were only responsible for ruling the territory in peacetime, enjoying life, and fighting for their lords when the war required them.
There are five counts who came to rescue the Duke of York this time, and the most powerful of them is an earl called Siu Mai, and this Siu Mai Earl is also the leader of the coalition to rescue the Duke of York this time.
Before officially entering the Duke of York's domain and helping the Duke of York, they held a battle meeting on the outskirts.
"As I'm sure you know, we're here to rescue the Duke of York, and there's 5,000 people waiting for us ahead."
As soon as the Earl of Shou finished speaking, a nobleman on the side followed:
"I've heard that they're just country guys, and they don't even have a lot of weapons and equipment, so what's the danger to us with a bunch of peasants with farm tools?"
As soon as the nobleman finished speaking, another nobleman on the side smiled and said:
"But it was such a group of peasants who surrounded our beloved Duke of York in the castle. It seems that the Duke of York was quite kind to these peasants. ”
As soon as this man finished speaking, the nobles on the side laughed, because everyone knew that the Duke of York and mercy were completely incompatible, and the reason why the Duke was surrounded by these peasants was also because his 3,000 knights were all killed by these peasants, which was the news that surprised everyone before.
The Duke of York attacked Victoria logically, but there were many news that he was humiliated by the Victorians, so he had a legitimate reason to attack Victoria, but he did not expect that his attack on Victoria was completely thwarted by the Victorians, and even his knights were all annihilated. There are not many who run back.
This news surprised everyone, and after the big surprise, it was followed by laughing at the once majestic Duke.
It can be said that because of this defeat, the Duke of York's prestige suddenly fell to the bottom, and even the nobles under him already looked down on the defeated duke.
But they still had to fulfill their obligations as vassals. After hearing the laughter of the people next to him, he tapped lightly on the table and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you must think that the Victorians are very weak, but don't forget, it is these weak people who defeated the Duke's 3,000 cavalry, and how strong the Duke of York's army is, I believe you know better than anyone else, don't underestimate the enemy and don't be careless, Victoria may not be as simple as we think."
After the Earl of Siu Mai said this, the other people also looked solemn, and indeed as he said, they were a little underestimated.
Just as the Earl of Shomai was about to discuss with them a specific plan of attack, a scout suddenly came running in a hurry, and then rushed into the tent, and said to them:
"Lord Earl, there are Victoria's men approaching our camp!"
No sooner had the man finished speaking, when the counts and barons in the entire tent exploded.
They exchanged their heads and talked with incredulous expressions on their faces, and were very angry, as if they were deeply ashamed that the peasants of Victoria had dared to take the initiative to attack them, as if they had despised them.
The Earl of Siu Mai soon commanded the nobles in the camp to lead his army against the Victorians who approached.
And when they came to the outside of the tent, and were about to line up the army, they found that the Victorians who came near were not very numerous, only about 100 men, and they did not have any queues, and they did not even come on horseback, and they were not clothed, and they had clubs in their hands that could not be called these weapons.
In other words, they are not scouts, are they here for diplomacy? They were a little puzzled, and for a time they did not attack them, they stood still and waited for the Victorians to come closer, and soon the 100-odd men were on the outskirts of the camp, and there was still about three minutes on horseback, and they did not continue to advance.
They were pointing at the camp, but they couldn't hear it too clearly because they were too far away.
Siu mai waited for a while and didn't see them do anything or say anything. He couldn't wait any longer, so he let one of his subordinates carry his flag and run towards the 100-odd men.
Seeing a man on a horse approaching, the players suddenly became commotionous.
In the eyes of the counts, these Victorians should have felt fear.
"I think these Victorians are exaggerated, you see that they are already afraid of being like this just by seeing the appearance of our camp, if they really fight, I am afraid they will flee as soon as possible, I think there is no difficulty at all, I can't imagine that the Duke is surrounded by such an opponent, and he still asks us for help, it must be too careless."
An earl said this in a mocking tone, and the other counts on the side also laughed, and just as they laughed, the more than 100 players rushed towards the Hu Cong who came over, and then in the chaos, the Hu Cong was knocked unconscious, stripped naked, and by the way, his horses were also led away by the more than 100 people.
One of them, after some deliberation, mounted his horse, and turned triumphantly in the direction he had come, but how could the counts have endured such an insult.
They immediately rode out, and in an instant, four or five hundred horsemen rushed towards the player.
Of course, the players also saw the cavalry rushing towards them, and they panicked and began to flee.
But how could two legs outrun four legs The cavalry quickly rushed over, and then brandished their weapons, as if slaughtering, cutting down those Victorians to the ground, there were curses everywhere, and angry roars, and even laughter, but there was no sound of kneeling and begging for mercy, just like the legend, those Victorians had no intention of surrendering to the death, and really fought until the moment when the last man fell, The Earl of Siu Mai, who was standing from a distance and watching all this, was deeply shocked, he fell silent, he had never seen a person with such a strong will to fight, this was only 100 people, and he had already shown such a strong will to fight. If it were really more than 5,000 Victorians, how terrible the collective will to fight would be.
The Earl of Shau Mai suddenly realizes that the legendary Victoria may not be just an exaggerated rumor.
The strong enemy in front of him made him tremble a little, not because he felt afraid, but because of the excitement of the upcoming big battle, only such a strong enemy had the desire to defeat!
The Earl of Siu Mai turned around on his horse and shouted to the nobles behind him:
"Everyone is ready, we will immediately launch an attack on Victoria's camp, and we must not allow these Victorians to continue to besiege the Duke's castle like this, and completely destroy their arrogance."
As soon as the Earl of Roasted Wheat finished speaking, the nobles immediately let out an earth-shattering roar, and then a large group of knights set out from the camp and headed for the Victorian stronghold not far away.
The Victorians, who had just been sent back to the living point, that is, the players, scolded and showed some strange knights on the outskirts of the Duke's castle in the resurrection point, and the news of an attack on them spread everywhere, as for them to rob people's armor and horses, shouldn't that be a normal thing? What is there to say?
