Chapter 223: A Turning Point in Flight
When Green and the old sword guard officer arrived at the West City Gate, the Fifth Brigade had already launched an attack on the King of Mierte, fortunately, because Green controlled the Three Kings to cut off the drawbridge like a sword, the Fifth Brigade had to temporarily make a wooden bridge, which greatly affected the siege rate, coupled with the lack of siege equipment such as ladders, the defense of the State Religious knights left behind in the city was quite easy.
In the final analysis, the original plan can be described as a layer of insurance layer after layer, and it is difficult not to make people feel dependent.
Arriving at the West Gate with a mixed force of about 200 men, the old knight, who had assumed the position of commander of the royal city, arranged for mercenaries, mages, and thieves to take over the place of the Catholic knights and form a defensive line on the city walls to resist the incomplete attack of the Fifth Brigade. After a short rest, the retired Royal Anglican Knights immediately joined the guard line, leaving one of the three knights to command the frontline battle, and the other two entered the castle tower together to participate in the impromptu battle meeting.
These two people are the female knight chief Xiona, and the blonde knight chief Adolf? Zeigler.
As soon as he entered the castle tower, Adolf saw the old knight's energetic appearance, but before anyone could speak, the chief of the blonde knight suddenly knelt on the ground with a great sword in one hand and apologized to the sword guard. Although the mutiny had nothing to do with them, and they were technically victims, such a humiliating incident had already disgraced the name of the Anglican Knights, and the blonde knight chief, who was deeply guilty, took the responsibility for failing to detect and stop the mutiny in time as the acting agent of the Order. However, as Green expected, the old knight did not punish these Anglican knights, on the contrary, he persuaded them with good words, bluntly explained that behind this were several national troublemakers with evil intentions, and vaguely said that if the Anglican knights were really ashamed. He will defend this city of Mierte and atone for his sins. Needless to say, the blonde knight took a solemn oath and rejoined the council as a "trustworthy person".
Well, am I the only one who looks at it and finds it grinding?
Green crossed his arms and watched coldly, which is simply a formalism that goes through the motions. It's irritating to ask you to say a word to me. Obviously, one side urgently needs combat power, and the other side hopes not to be alienated by the incident, and the matter that ends in two sentences is more and more painful in Green's eyes, and he deeply feels that none of these officials and nobles are neat.
However, playing Tai Chi with Adolf seemed to be the limit of the old sir, and Sir Lowalt, who immediately started the battle meeting, directly abandoned the opening remarks and morale boost, and asked the blonde knight to report the situation of both the enemy and the enemy. At the same time, he personally performed the deduction on the sand table of the mage's improvised zuò.
The Fifth Brigade of Griffonheart has a total combat strength of about 4,000 people, and it is 5,000 if you count the logistics personnel and other miscellaneous personnel. Excluding the vanguard cavalry team that was previously killed by the King Statue, and the thousand people killed by the King Statue when Grimm beat the buff, the Fifth Brigade currently has nearly 3,000 troops. With the current guild team of only 200 people, the unorganized and undisciplined battle is unorganized, undisciplined, and there is a lack of middle and lower-level non-commissioned officers, so there may not be any danger in fighting a defensive battle in a short time, if the 5th Brigade is fully equipped for siege. At that time, it was only a matter of time before the city of Mierte was breached.
What if you take the initiative?
If the Knights' horses hadn't been killed by the magic gunpowder, there might have been a chance of success. However, as it stands, it is tantamount to death. As for magical powers? Most of the mages sent by the Magic Guild are low-level mages with mediocre strength, even the two high-level mages who lead the team are relying on Mierte City for their lives before they take the initiative to apply to the guild, and they can still do it by throwing some small spells to assist them and set them on fire, so that they can cover up the soldiers and kill the enemy army? Are you kidding. Before the soldiers could enter the enemy formation, I am afraid that they would be killed by these scrambling theorist mages first.
"If you can rescue His Majesty the King, the Fifth Brigade will definitely surrender without a fight, damn ......"
The old knight slammed his fist on the table and cursed resentfully.
The faces of the people present before were a little ugly. If it weren't for the intervention of the Nigong Commander, the crisis in the royal capital would probably have been resolved, and the rebellion would have ended there.
"Is there no way to contact other armies?" Samael asked casually, which drew disgruntled glances from several guild leaders with noble status, and the spearman immediately glared back mercilessly. He was born in the Berserker unit of the Kingdom of Wilts, the Basaka Warband, and he abandoned the red tape of aristocratic status, and the loose freedom in his personality was a unique fight with Albert in a certain way.
"If I could, Lord Sir would have sent a message for help." Green opened his mouth to respond to his subordinates, but his eyes were instead looking at the sword guard officer Lowwalt, "If I'm not mistaken, some of the magic communication equipment with the army should be in the palace, right?" ”
The old knight nodded with a heavy face, "All of them were destroyed in the earthquake, and the city guard post was also the first target of the enemy. The remaining portable communication crystals were also in the hands of His Majesty the King himself. ”
"How, how can this be!" "Isn't the king hopeless?" "It's over, we're dead, we have to run away!" ……
Knowing that there was no hope for help, the nobles who joined the team along the way immediately panicked, ignoring the gloomy eyes of the old knight, and clamored to escape or even surrender. One of the nobles actually thought of arresting the sword guard Sir Lowwater and escorting him to the Fifth Brigade to show his sincerity in surrender, but as soon as his subordinate drew his sword, he was subdued by the blonde knight chief and the female knight commander at the same time, and the ill-intentioned nobleman was even pointed at the throat by Green's angry war spear, and he was so frightened that he almost knelt down, and was finally pressed down by two soldiers.
"That's right! I saw the Knights of the Wind just now, and I asked them to ride a horse to ask for help? The panic was suppressed slightly, and a nobleman suddenly opened his mouth with a look of joy, as if he had thought of a breakthrough, "The Griffonheart Legion or the headquarters fortress of the Anglican Knights is good, it's not very far away, right?" As long as I can get to the station......"
"Impossible."
This voice was categorical, and it directly shocked the whimsical nobleman Green raised his head in surprise, and the one who hurriedly entered from the door was none other than Earl Mrak led by Qi Shangde? Longfa. He wears the iconic jazz hat, and although he looks dusty, his calm appearance makes people involuntarily calm down. He walked in. Give a deep salute to the old knight, and then walk up to Green, and give his allies a big-
Embrace.
Confused Green.
"It's great that you're safe."
Listening to the big-faced earl's whisper in his ear, Green reacted and tightened his arms. A direct presentation of Mlak's feelings. It was indeed a bit of a surprise to Green, but it was undoubtedly a testimony to the friendship between the two.
The joy of reuniting with Grimm was only short-lived, and Count Tsishande turned around and explained to the nobleman before: "The Knights of the Wind are indeed the fastest in the world, but even if they are steppe horses, after all, the speed of land travel cannot be compared to the flight speed of air units, not to mention that asking for help is a process of back and forth, and there is still time for the integration of aid forces, and it is impossible to ask for support before the city is broken." ”
The castle tower suddenly fell into dead silence again.
"How about creating a temporary communication crystal? Magic Circuit. A few days ago, a veteran-level mage came to Milt's Magic Guild and asked him for help, maybe he could do it. In silence it was Bartolomeo, who had previously been psychologically shocked. He forced his gaze to fall on Commander Lowalt, and did not dare to make eye contact with Green, but it must be said that he did propose a worthy proposal.
"If you think about it by common sense, the connection of communication crystals has always been one-to-one. But mages always have special skills, that being the case. I'll leave it to you as one of the plans, Sir Bartolomeo. The old knight's face was a little pale, and he thought to himself that this idiot aristocratic mage would finally come in handy.
"Lord Lord, isn't that guy a straw bale?" Samael leaned closer to Green's ear and asked in surprise.
Green knew it. The only fault with Sir Bartolomeo, who looked at people with his nostrils, was that he looked down on people, and was otherwise impeccable. However, Lord Jinlunga couldn't help but roll his eyes at Samael, do you dare to speak louder?
The aristocratic mage who turned around and was about to leave ran out angrily.
"Still, there is no guarantee that this plan will succeed, even if we have a device that can be used to contact other armies. It also takes a lot of time. Count Qishande looked at the sand table and pointed out the shortcomings mercilessly, "We must also have a battle plan with a success rate of more than 30 percent......
His words were interrupted, and a cold female voice suddenly came out from the corner of the tower.
"If it's a flying unit, I can help."
Green looked up in surprise, and it was the female knight Xiona, who had been silent.
The others were no less surprised than the boys, and the old knight looked at her with suspicion. The blonde knight captain Adolf glanced at her, and even showed an inquiring gaze.
The female knight bit her lip, looked at Green, and her voice became firm: "There is no doubt that the Royal Anglican Knights are knights of horse warfare, but you may not know it, in fact, as early as a few years ago, after that major incident of the Knights, His Majesty the King secretly ordered the Knights to divide some people to form a new team, abandon the pure knightly warfare methods of land warfare in the past, and deal with the more difficult forms of war in the future. ”
"And this team is the Royal Pegasus Knights."
As soon as she raised her hand, she took out a token, and she could vaguely hear a sighing sound, and the magic fluctuations on it were undoubtedly belonging to the royal family.
Rodland, there are actually air knights!
Everyone was shocked by this news, for many years, as the two kingdoms of mankind, air supremacy has always been controlled by the griffin knights and advent angels of the Barron Empire. It's funny to say, even though it is called the Griffonheart Legion, but in fact, this strongest army in Rhodeland does not have any griffons, and most of the Imperial attacks on the legion stem from this.
But now everything will change!
"As I said, even if you can get to the reinforcements quickly with your speed, it will still take time for the reinforcements to arrive, and we shouldn't waste time on how to call for help." Sir Mrak did not show joy at the future development of the kingdom, but was dissatisfied with the female knights still wanting to ask for help.
But it was then that the young lord suddenly spoke.
"Listen to me, my friend, I think she's offering more than just a way to ask for help."
"What I see is a good opportunity to attack."
"Just like I've done in the past."
As soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly fell, and when he suddenly fell, he pointed at the rear position of the Fifth Brigade on the sand table.
"It's not impossible for us to defeat them!" (To be continued......)
