Chapter 23: The Reenactment of HistoryV.
The street of the aristocratic district, which was originally wide enough to allow four carriages to run side by side, made it extremely crowded and chaotic as the two sides frantically fought in this world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Scattered weapons scattered, horses that fell to the ground, young soldiers who were wounded, some lying on the ground struggling, some leaning against the corner, looking at the enemy in horror, blood pouring out of the wounds, but they didn't notice it at all.
All the people are red-eyed.
On Marcuro Escud's flank, a mercenary rushed too far forward, he was deeply involved in the battle of the legionnaires, several spears stabbed at him from the front, back, left and right, he swung his sword to swing away the attack in front of him, but at the same time, his back was stabbed with a fatal blow like an electric shock - the sharp spear made of steel pierced the armor, stabbed the flesh, and then entered the abdominal cavity, his eyes widened, and the great pain made him roar like a dying beast.
Red, white, and a few other colors spilled from his belly—the red-eyed soldier chopped him to pieces in the blink of an eye.
The formations of the two sides have been intertwined. Macuro was covered in blood, but he knew that, at least for now, the enemy's purpose had failed - he looked around, and there were probably a hundred more legionnaires left, but even if they could still stand stubbornly panting, the scars on their bodies showed that they no longer had much combat strength. And beside and behind him, except for five elite mercenaries and a dozen or so guards who were killed, the others only suffered some minor injuries to varying degrees.
Xiao Qiya was riding on a war horse, she looked at the bloody scene in front of her, her small body was trembling - such a scene like Shura purgatory, it was too tragic for a girl, she had not experienced a cruel war, and not long ago, she swung her great sword and killed several soldiers who rushed up, she saw the distorted and hideous faces fall in front of her, and her heart was suddenly full of fear and fear.
Enemy?
But they also seem to be soldiers of the kingdom - Kia Escud's little head doesn't know, or rather fully understands, the ins and outs of these things, but in her vision, the figure with a faint blue sheen and desperately wielding a sword is always guarding ahead.
It's time to break through.
The sun was setting like blood, and Marcuro knew very well that there was no point in continuing to slaughter these soldiers, and that time was a matter of the essence for both sides - he raised the Storm Crushing Steel Sword, and the mercenaries regrouped around him, and this team, from more than sixty people when they left Shamrock Manor, has now lost a third! Mercenaries, guards, and family members, the blades of the battlefield never show mercy because of their different statuses.
There was a brief silence, only the fishy smell of blood and cloudy breathing.
Marcuro rode on a silver-maned warhorse, and the soldiers looked at him with nothing but fear and cringe—one man and one rider, but in their eyes there was a demonic fear. No one dared to stop this indomitable momentum, August was killed, Calis also fell, and some officers who usually got along day and night also died under the man's sword.
A very smooth breakthrough -- once morale is lost, there is no way to recover it if there is no unexpected turnaround.
In the previous game, the battle for the port city of Afron came to a complete fever pitch at the beginning of November. However, unlike history, there is no record of this street battle in the west of the city, and it was only in the midst of hesitation and hesitation that the kingdom's navy launched an offensive in the following days, which cost the Escud family a heavier price than history.
……
What's going on?
The civilians of the city, the merchants and men who had not had time to return home, and the bards and wandering mercenaries who had no place to live and who had wandered the taverns and streets all day long, had taken refuge in the Chapel of the Holy Radiance, which had always maintained a neutral attitude in the struggle for power, and the silver-clad Templars and white-robed priests had given them some sense of security.
The elderly, the women, and the children with them came to the prayer room. They huddled together and knelt down in prayer in front of the statue as white as jade, to dispel the panic and anxiety in their hearts, which was the idol of the Lord of Radiance. The grace of the Divine Radiance may sound like an ethereal nothingness, but at least, the shelter provided by the Church is real and reliable.
"Bishop Vera?"
Inside the church of Afron, there is a tall bell tower with a gray conical spire. The presiding priest of the church, a bishop with three gold stripes embroidered on the upper arm of his white robe, was looking out from a small window on the top floor of the bell tower. Beside him, a young man and woman, Glo and Radia, had recently arrived at the church, preparing to receive their rewards for the expedition to the ruins.
50 points of Church of Radiance reputation, a random reward for equipping a weapon, this is the answer given in the system quest column a few days ago. But before Gloh could wait for the reward, the noise outside sounded like a pot of boiling water from all sides of the street where the church was located, and then, everywhere, a crowd of people rushed into the church, like frightened rabbits.
Glo and Radia meet with the priest Winnie, the three noble knights of Alyssa, Cody, and Lars, as well as the five mercenaries who are said to have escaped from the cemetery, and under the arrangement of the Bishop of Vera, these people assist the priests in the church to calm the crowd. When this was almost done, Bishop Vera went to the top floor of the bell tower and began to observe what was happening in the city.
As a guest, in order to verify his suspicions, Glo followed the footsteps of the Bishop to this place - the bell tower is not a secret place, and saw two young men following him, and the Bishop just looked at the scene in the distance and let out a long sigh.
Glo stared, his expression solemn.
The battle for Afron, a battle that took place before the game was launched, actually started today. Comparing some vague memories, Glo found that something was wrong - from the mouths of the rebels, he heard the cause of this incident, and what was completely inconsistent with history was that the kingdom's navy had chosen to strike first.
They were changed!
On the side of the aristocratic district in the west of the city, the sound of killing shouts can be faintly heard.
