Chapter 41: Siege?
Time went backwards, and two days later, there was a deafening sound of horses' hooves from beyond the horizon, far and near, at great speed! The Knights lined up and charged towards Lenman City, and the momentum was terrifying, and it looked as if they were going to attack Lenman City!
Their movements were so uniform that even the harsh cavalry commanders could not find fault with them! They all have black horses under their crotches, although there are cases where Warcraft is used as a mount, but most of the time people still choose horses as their good companions, mainly because the domestication of Warcraft is too cumbersome! It is difficult for low-level Warcraft to understand the meaning of the master, although high-level Warcraft understands, there may be disobedience to discipline, and it is not easy to popularize, and there are many variants of Warcraft among the horses, and they are more easily controlled, so they are loved by the cavalry!
Why is the formation of the Dragon Knights difficult?
You have to think about the food that a dragon consumes every day, which can provide a horse with food for a week or two, and if you continue to consume it like this, unless you have several wealthy subordinate territories, it is difficult for a single territory to support the consumption of these big stomachs! And not everyone can be a dragon as a mount, and if you don't have the strength, you want to be a dragon knight? It's better to dream!
At the city gate, the soldiers have begun to slowly close the city gate, looking like they are waiting for battle. The soldiers did not have the slightest cowardice on their faces, standing on the city wall with a brave attitude, the weapons had been pinched in their hands, they were not fledglings who had not experienced battles, and being able to become a city defense army meant that they had been tempered by a lot of battles!
"Hunting ~" followed by two big flags, seeing these big flags, the seriousness on the faces of the soldiers has faded, it is the army of the ice and snow country, and the flag is a black flag and a blue flag, there are twelve stars on the flag, and there is a snowflake in the middle, this is the flag of the ice and snow country!
The other flag is golden, and on it are two moons, one bright and one dark, and the middle overlap is a silver-white star, which is the flag of the Shuangyue family!
As soon as these two flags were raised, everyone knew that this was a friendly army, but the city gate was not lowered because of this, someone had already informed Tiffany that Tiffany had actually received a message from the snowy owl in advance before they came, but she deliberately did not tell them in order to test the vigilance of the soldiers, and now it seems that these soldiers are performing very well!
The cavalry stopped in front of a position twenty feet away from the city of Lenman, and not a single horse overtook it, and not a single horse delayed, and the momentum was overwhelming! The knights above were wrapped in heavy armor, which was the same color as the horses, and their bodies exuded a faint coercion, giving people an irresistible feeling!
……
The closure of the city gate naturally attracted the attention of the inhabitants inside, especially since it was not yet the time for the city gate to close, and there were still some residents outside the city who had not returned, and the relatives of these residents rushed to ask what was going on, with anxious faces on their faces.
"Lord Lord, the city gate is closed, could it be that those dark elves are attacking?" It's Lance who speaks, the flint inn also sells beer on weekdays, and at night there will be residents who have worked all day to drink some wine, beer is very cheap, a copper sol has a large glass, good quality and low price!
They have naturally heard a lot of rumors in Lunman City during this time, such as the attack of a certain village by an unknown situation, and the true face of a certain person to see these people, etc., although it is half-true, but it does prove that the recent period of time is not stable, but the residents are more optimistic, they live in Lenman City, it can be said that it is the safest place in the vicinity, so there is no special worry.
Even though there is a curfew every night, at that time, almost everyone is already nested in the bed, ready to sleep, ready to make man, ready to make man, and it does not have a particularly big impact on life.
However, at that time, Lance and they raised their vigilance, they were merchants who came out to trade, if this territory was not peaceful, it would not be a good thing for them, especially since they had no way to negotiate with the lord of this territory, so Lance They would rest in Lenman City for a period of time, knowing that the danger was still hurting to move forward, it was not stupid, it was simply a send!
Later, the departure was also a helpless move, people did not receive them, and it was a lot of expense to continue to wait, so Lance and they chose to start again, otherwise the most conservative situation is still here to wait for the calm of the turmoil before leaving is the best choice!
The reason why they knew about the Dark Elves was what Raphael told them, otherwise Lance wouldn't know what the Dark Elves were. Raphael did not judge the dark elves with his own subjective consciousness, but evaluated them with very pertinent words, and it was possible to confront the dark elves in the future, and it was not a good thing to let his subordinates underestimate them, and it would not be something that Raphael wanted to see when the time came!
"Probably not, dark elves don't usually choose to act in the morning, and the night is their best friend. I guess it must have been an army from elsewhere, and it is not difficult to see that the city has not been built for a long time, and it is difficult to have a very good army. Although the defenders in the cities of the Ice and Snow Realm are not very fixed, they still need to be trained by the lord himself. At this time, these soldiers were already considered the personal soldiers of the lord, and the lord had the power to mobilize autonomously. ”
"However, if the state needs to be requisitioned, the lord must obey unconditionally. This is very different from the Ottore Empire, the high-level authority of the Ice and Snow Empire is very large, unlike the royal family of the Ottore Empire, it is difficult to grasp those powerful nobles, if there is a situation of disobedience of the lord in the Ice and Snow Empire, the lord will be directly removed, and then subject to the requisition of the neighboring lords, as for the requisitioned territory to be returned to the high-level for them to redistribute new candidates, unlike the Ottore Empire, the territory of the nobles does not need to be recognized by the empire to occupy! ”
Raphael spoke in the dialect of Yuki Ling, after all, it is not a good thing to say these things in the continental lingua franca in other people's territory, and maybe they will be treated as spies! The dialect is different, the dialect in many places is very different from the continental lingua franca, and it is not a simple matter to understand it in the continental lingua franca!
Raphael, the power layer in the Northland, still has some understanding, and it is not a fake to be in the Northland for a period of time! Raphael's remarks opened the eyes of Lance, different countries have different legal systems, maybe killing people here is not a sentence but can still make you feel free, maybe killing people there directly to your death, this is a very normal thing, and it is precisely because of this that many crimes and smuggling have been bred, so if you can understand the legal system of various countries, then you can at least mix in this world!
