Chapter 224: The Sword of Grimm
Although the Fifth Brigade is part of the Griffonheart Legion, the military headquarters itself is not outstanding, especially the four subordinate barracks, and the strength of the entire legion can only be regarded as the middle and lower class, and the equipment of the troops is also an imitation of the Golden Lion Barron Empire.
The unlucky soldiers who were manipulated by Green to cut off nearly a thousand heads with a sword, most of them belonged to the one that attacked the front end of the four barracks, and the news of the inexplicable attack spread throughout the brigade at that time, and the entire brigade was in turmoil for a while, and many soldiers had long suspected the order to attack the royal city, and they were even more impatient at this time - but the news also immediately reached the ears of the brigade commander. Oswald was born into one of the eight noble bloodlines of the founding nobles of the Lordlands, and his family's position in the royal city of Mierte allowed him to climb to the throne of the brigade and squeeze out countless rivals.
Among them, there are many powerful people who have become famous.
But at this moment, he is in the big tent of the Chinese army, completely controlling the military power of the Fifth Brigade, and his mood is not very happy. He was piled down with fat and almost blocked the seat below, and twisted his body a little irritably.
He had been at the head of the army a year earlier, but he had trouble fighting for power and had to compromise with the commander-in-chief of the four barracks. This is not uncommon in the kingdom army, the great nobles may have the ability to install their own family members into the army to hold important positions, but they cannot force those powerful generals in the army to give up the right to send troops, after all, everyone knows that Rodland is far from being as peaceful and prosperous as it seems, once the army decays, the Barron Empire will pounce like a lion fighting a rabbit and tear the kingdom to pieces.
As arranged by the family, Oswald stayed in the army and waited for death, after all, it was the closest standing garrison to the royal capital, and everyone knew that this was a good position for gold. Soon, however, when the realm of the living was sent out to try to get in touch with him. He immediately took the bait. Although the slightest mistake would have been devastating for him and his family, he decided to take a risk.
Not for the sake of the lord, nor for the gold, silver and jewelry.
No one knows that this ...... This lascivious fat pig general actually hides an ambition to have his own army in his huge body.
So after months of planning, he succeeded in seizing the command of the 5th Brigade. even got his wish and imprisoned the female commander of the barracks, leaving him to enjoy it slowly after he succeeded. According to the agreement, Oswald should lead the troops to march to the royal capital of Miert, aiming to take over the defense of the royal city and surround the king's location, and he did not faint and directly led the troops to fly away, thousands of high-level combat power sounds terrifying, but this is all the combat power of his subordinates, once the other kingdom armies react, he will not be able to survive under the siege of tens of thousands of kingdom troops. Only by listening to the other party's arrangement can you get the most benefits.
In Oswald's mind, leading an army that obeys him to fight is the second goal, and staying alive is the most important thing anyway.
He knew that this had to be done quickly, so he constantly urged the march along the way, and even sent a cavalry team as the vanguard.
But the good times didn't last long, and he was only halfway through the journey, when a big trouble befell him.
Knowing that someone would be at the western gate of the royal capital, Oswald simply had to transfer his troops into the city. But the more he wished that he would be safe and sound along the way, the more trouble would come to his door. The non-commissioned officer of Zhili hurried back to deliver the news, telling him that the cavalry unit had lost contact and was suspected of being wiped out. As soon as Oswald heard the news, he was furious, the cavalry was the most elite equestrian unit in the entire Fifth Brigade, and once the loss was difficult to replenish, he was so angry that he scolded the cavalry captain for being an idiot. As a result, the anger brought by this news had not subsided, and another non-commissioned officer rushed to him with a rolling belt, and reported in horror that only more than 1,000 people in front of him suddenly lost their heads and died silently, and General Fat Pig's face suddenly turned pale.
He could almost imagine it. Blood gushes out of a broken neck, like a thousand bloody fountains.
General Fat Pig knew that such a terrifying picture was an extremely severe blow to morale, and as a last resort, he activated the spirit talisman given by Cronnais's secret talk, forcibly erasing the autonomy of most of the soldiers in the army, and forcing them to attack the royal capital. As the other party said, combined with the ecstasy potion in the wine, this spirit rune has the effect of manipulating others to make simple moves, but when the army resists the city and the west gate is tightly closed, he quickly realizes that the controlled soldiers are dull and lack combat experience, and they cannot conquer the city at all.
As soon as he thought of this, Oswald couldn't help but rub his ass.
"How many people are guarding the city?" He asked vaguely.
"Two or three hundred." The answer to him was the non-commissioned officer who had previously reported on the cavalry.
"Just two or three hundred." The fat on Oswald's face twitched, "This group of waste, they have eaten so much for nothing, they can't even kill such a few people" After thinking about it, he was a little resentful, "That guy didn't tell me that this shitty thing has side effects, if these soldiers are all so virtuous in the future, how can they be brought out to fight?" β
The non-commissioned officer below did not speak.
Oswald moved and rolled like a huge ball of flesh, revealing the seat beneath himβit was the woman who had been chained and stuffed into her mouth, and she was kneeling on the ground sweating profusely, and her head was mixed with sweat and saliva, and if it weren't for her good strength, I am afraid that she would have been crushed to death by this fat man.
"Put that thing up for me, and blast the gates open for me."
He shook the fat on his cheeks, and leaned on his body hatefully, and the female generals didn't hold it up, and almost fell to the ground.
"Dragon's Breath in the City?" The non-commissioned officer seemed well aware of what the general was saying, "Are you sure? Because it is an experimental product, it may only be used once. β
"With use, they all promised that even the city wall could be blown up, not in vain." Oswald raised his hand disdainfully, pulled out the scimitar that was standing on the side, and landed on the map in front of him, "Let those guys who look down on me taste the power of this war machine!" Before the dawn of tomorrow, Mierte must be mine! β
The non-commissioned officer did not say anything more, turned around and quietly went to convey the order.
In his opinion, the soldiers who defended the city were only stubborn resistance.
Because unlike the Fifth Brigade that anyone knows well, hidden under the curtain at the back of the army, there is a metal behemoth waiting for it to show its power to the world for the first time. Unlike its contemporaneous product, the Fault Pulse Machine, this siege weapon created by the Wizard of Dia and the Dwarves abandons all standard indicators in order to increase the destructive power to the limit, and any attempt to rely on high walls to defend the city will be completely destroyed.
But what Oswald could never have guessed was. The defenders in the city did not intend to wait for reinforcements from nowhere, but had already made plans to counterattack, but they lacked a suitable time.
No one can guess the outcome of this battle.
It was as if no one could have guessed that the young lord of the distant mountains had quietly appeared behind the Fifth Brigade.
β¦β¦
From the Meerte Mountains, which have the same name as the royal city, you can clearly see the intensive mobilization of the fifth brigade, the remaining three barracks mixed into a siege echelon, and countless infantry with cloud ladders lined up in several teams, facing the not too dense rain of arrows to launch a general attack on the royal city.
This tactic can be called mediocrity to open the door to mediocrity - mediocrity has arrived at home, and the condescending Green who stepped on the mountain rock felt miserable just by looking at it. But he still watched carefully and experienced a different feeling. In the posture of a mortal, looking down on the battlefield below from a high place, the terrifying war in the mortal world is nothing more than an ant fight, this alternative perception has benefited Grimm, who has awakened once.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people." The female knight stood behind him, holding the reins in her hand, and sighed softly, "I thought it was just the disobedience of a few. Unexpectedly, several commanders rebelled at the same time, and the rest of the soldiers didn't know what the situation was. β
She didn't know that the Fifth Brigade had been reduced by a quarter. The so-called "remaining soldiers" had actually seen Luna earlier, otherwise they didn't know how to feel.
Green turned his head and glanced at the female knight, and then at the pegasus she was holding on to the reins, and the latter, who had been docile just a moment ago, immediately glared back with hot breath - this pure white holy creature looked extremely beautiful, but he didn't know why he didn't have a good impression of himself. When he was first summoned by Xiona, he bit his arm and didn't let go, and when he flew over the clouds, he almost threw himself into the air, which made Green look at it very unkind now, if it wasn't for the female knight's favorite mount, he would have the heart to send it to see the god of chrysanthemums with a spear of mental qi.
β¦β¦ If there is such a dry road god.
"Are we going to rush down like this?" Siona didn't notice the "confrontation" of this man and beast. She knew Green had a plan, but she didn't know what his plan was.
Green shook his head, his gaze resting on the makeshift tent at the rear of the Fifth Brigade. Even if you look down from here, you can see a considerable number of guards near the 5th Brigade, rushing down hastily, only to fall into the encirclement.
The young man looked up at the sun among the pale clouds, and roughly estimated the time, which was still some time before the previous appointment.
"I'm afraid it's hard to assassinate the enemy during the day, but the royal city can't last out at night." Xiona looked at the battlefield under the mountain and frowned slightly: "Rush down now, if you fight head-on, I can probably buy you some time, but none of us know if there is still a personal guard soldier of the enemy's main general hidden in the camp, Glefey, what are we going to do?" β
"Assassinate an enemy general? Are you planning to cut off the dragon's head? Green didn't answer the rhetorical question.
Siona was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways at the boy, who didn't have the slightest hint of amusement on his face. Then the female knight was even more confused, and asked suspiciously: "Of course, otherwise why would we sneak to the rear without the eyes and ears of the enemy?" It's just the two of us, don't you just want to use your individual strength to win the right to control? We also agreed on a sign of success. β
"You're right, capture the thief first and capture the king, and I admit that it does fit my fighting style very well." Green nodded casually, and his right hand gestured with his left hand for a long time, as if he had reached some result, before he turned his head and looked at the female knight, "Take the head of the general in the million army, I like to perform this kind of decapitation operation, because this tactic is efficient and saves resources, and there will not be too many people I care about dying from fighting." Maybe I'll be better at it in the future, but it's important to understand that that's not in my plans today. β
"You know what? Theona, one day, I will command my own army, and no one will be able to stop its steps, and anyone who dares to do harm to the world will be deterred. β
The young man's excited words made the female knight unconsciously a little fascinated.
Not just for the grand wishes of this loved one.
Rather, it was the first time he called her name.
"If that day really comes, I won't change, I'm still me, I will control the army with my will, uphold my usual style and attitude, I don't need to be praised by others or be scolded, I just guard this beautiful world alone and stubbornly, but as long as the prestige exists, it will always be small."
He raised his hands as if holding up a world.
"Will you help me then?"
Siona was only fascinated and nodded without hesitation.
Lord Jinlunga, who has great ambitions, but is currently only living in a corner, smiled.
"Then we might as well start running in from now on, what do you think?"
He gracefully stretched out a hand to Siona, and the female knight handed her palm in a heartbeat, and was gently led by the young man to turn around, and as soon as she turned around, she was surprised to see that the clearing behind her suddenly twisted, and a three-zhang wide spatial crack suddenly tore open from the middle. In the mist, a heavy killing aura appeared like iron.
"This is truth, this is order, and it is the source on which I stand."
Green carried it with one hand, and looked proudly at the dimensional gate in front of him.
"This is my sword."
Heavy to the point of crushing the heart, the female knight couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim.
One of them walked out slowly.
"Your order, Your Highness."
He was a burly and swarthy man, with a demonic horned forehead. He took a step, the exaggerated greatsword in his hand fell heavily, and he bowed to Grimm deeply-
After that, everyone fell to their knees.
