Chapter 130: Collapse
In half a month www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, the flat central plain has once again become a hunting ground, unlike before, this time as the main body of hunting has become a human being!
During these years, relying on the system's strong supply ability, Leo led the human knights to launch a bloody revenge operation, and the sweeping armies sent by Rhodes were almost wiped out by them
As large as thousands of formed troops, as small as scouts with only a few dozen people, as long as they are touched by this human knight order, they will definitely not be spared, of course, there is nothing foolproof in the world, and there are still many enemies who have successfully escaped in many battles, and the news of a powerful human knight order operating in this land has also reached the ears of everyone who is friend or foe......
The loss of thousands of men, including hundreds of Dark Knights, made these arrogant enemies almost crazy, except for the Rhodes army, which continued to advance towards the imperial capital, they finally gathered their scattered teams together, and a huge army of more than 5,000 men and more than 200 knights launched a counterattack in the face of Leo's challenge......
Without disappointing the enemy, or even waiting for the enemy to come looking for him, after a short rest and supplies, Leo led the Knights to launch an active attack based on the information provided by the remaining humans and the report from the Knight of the Dawn
Even if they paid enough attention to this sudden appearance of the human force, the most powerful of the Dark Knights, as the temporary commander, underestimated their opponents......
The human knights who were directly engaged in the attack made these arrogant enemies feel the horror of the highest-end combat power of the human race, and the sudden gap compared to the past made the demon army fall into passivity from the beginning, and hundreds of powerful dark knights, under the death suppression of several times the number of their knights, could only survive, and could not care about the infantry behind them at all
The battle ended with Finn personally beheading the Dark Knight as the commander, with no more than 1,500 of the 5,000 well-armed infantry surviving from the battlefield, and less than 5,000 of the Dark Knights who were the main targets were able to leave the place alive......
After the battle, with Leo's order, more than 500 captured demon soldiers were killed on the spot, for this almost cruel killing of prisoners, thousands of knights surprisingly none of them put forward a rebuttal, everyone knows, the only thing that should not exist in this war is mercy!
After these more than 500 heads were simply dried and preserved, they were piled up outside the gates of the destroyed Gale Wind Castle by Leo, whether it was a shock to the enemy's Jingguan or a tribute to the deceased warriors, after this battle, this human knight order successfully attracted the attention of Rhodes and all the remaining nobles and people in the central region
As time passed, more and more civilians passed on the news of all the enemies to this knight order in various ways, and the nobles who were unwilling to flee and hide also reluctantly sent a few family knights to join them......
After a month, Leo was surprised to find that there were more than 150 more forces in his hands that he could command......
Of course, war is not a game, and with some chance it is almost impossible to have the kind of situation in mind of the perfect obsessive, with 93 brand-new crosses standing on the edge of Leo's makeshift camp
Ninety-three warriors from various knighthoods who had pursued and believed in different ways were now resting peacefully under the land they had guarded, each knight bearing his name and a brief biography on the cross as his tombstone, and perhaps the only thing that was the same was the simple sentence at the end......
"He has interpreted the best virtues of knights with sacrifice, and under this lies a warrior who once fought fearlessly for the survival of mankind!"
In such a situation, if the enemy's commander was not a complete idiot, he would definitely make a change, how could Rho, who was once praised by Leo for his intelligence and was regarded as a seedling by several Punishment Knights who taught him, after pursuing the fall of power, but in the shortest possible time to become a terrifying knight that only a demon clan could be elected before
After learning that the last scattered force had been annihilated, he ignored the opposition of his subordinates, and was not bothered by the temptation of capturing the imperial capital at all within reach, reorganized the team, and stationed quietly, he was waiting, using the imperial capital as a bait to wait for the initiative of this knight order......
The difficult choice was once again handed back to Leo, and from all kinds of intelligence, he had already learned that even if the other party was weakened by them several times, the enemy still had nearly a thousand knights and more than 30,000 soldiers, such an army that was relatively superior to human strength in itself, but it became a bone that Leo had to gnaw off!
He might be able to wait, the mobility of the pure knightly formation allows him to move in easily without fear of being surrounded by superior forces, and then finally gain a strategic advantage in strength as the infantry in the rear feels
He can also choose to avoid a fight without being blamed, all the remaining humans in the Midwest will be able to see what he has done, and the corpses of thousands of demon soldiers are enough to make every knight in this army a hero among the humans......
But after learning about this, after a night of discussion and thinking with several other regiment leaders, Leo still embarked on the road to the imperial capital without hesitation, he couldn't wait, and he couldn't bear it, and an enemy army was stationed on the territory of mankind with a swagger and arrogance
Every time he closes his eyes in the middle of the night, Leo seems to be able to hear in his ears the desperate cries of those who have been tortured and humiliated by human beings, and the horrific endpoints experienced along the way have made even the most selfish knights in this army have a will to die!
Of course, Leo did not go to die, many times, especially in the era of cold weapons, morale, an invisible and intangible factor, has always run through the war, and an army that can be called a broken boat and disregards death is enough to offset the advantage caused by the number of most enemies......
And whether it is Finn, Keith, Aldaryan, or Kane, Andrew, including Saruai Oris, the existence of the most powerful knights on these continents also gives Leo incomparable confidence, a confidence that he will win in battle
Just as the whole army was preparing for this most difficult and dangerous battle, a fast horse rushed into their camp in a frenzy, and the messenger, who was too tired and almost humanoid, stumbled with news that everyone expected......
"Your Majesty...... Rolf de Bernadotte II died, leaving behind the empire and the people, and was summoned by the gods to go to the ethereal kingdom of heaven......"
Xin used the last of his strength to finish this sentence, and then he fell unconscious, but when everyone in the camp heard the terrible news, no one noticed him, and Saru, the strong knight who had been the first to react, and Rolf's only friend since his childhood, spat blood from his mouth and passed out without even saying a word......
After arranging for someone to rescue Saru, Leo and the rest of the regimental leaders woke up the messenger and finally learned the whole story from him
Rolf, who followed the infantry forward, perhaps because of the inducement of the bad cold weather in the north, his body, which had run out of oil half a month ago, could no longer hold on, first coughing up blood and unable to drink and eat normally, in such a situation, maybe if he recuperated and rested, the emperor might be able to hold on for a while
However, the poor medical conditions and superstitious treatments of the Middle Ages completely cost Rolf's life, and after taking pills made of different chemicals and metal extracts mixed with different chemical agents and metal extracts, and releasing hundreds of milliliters of blood, His Majesty the Second Emperor, who was only in his twenties, died on the bed in his car that night......
From his face after his death, it was clear how much the emperor who had ruled the empire for only two years had suffered before losing his life, his stiff and twisted muscles barely visible, his nails withered and broken, and the wooden frame next to the bed covered with deep scratches and black-brown dried blood lumps
Perhaps everything was doomed in the dark, Rolf, who had poisoned his father and burned his brother, **IAN's stepmother finally gained the highest power in the empire, would never have imagined that he would eventually die in endless pain
His Majesty the Emperor, who was tyrannical, greedy, intelligent, and forbearing, died alone and painfully in the cold chariot, in the northern territories that he once thought he could conquer......
Knowing all this, Leo tiredly carried away the messenger who was unconscious again, and the small tent made a tiresome whirring sound in the increasing wind, and lowered his head, and the room had no desire to speak, and everyone knew what kind of predicament the news would put them in
Because in any case, Rolf is still the de jure ruler of this empire, and the news of his death will not only hit the morale of the knights, but even more terrifying, it may make many people worry about the future, dazed and pessimistic......
After a long silence, what most people didn't expect was that Kane broke the silence first, and Kane Hugh Lancelot, the former Templar, priest, and now the de facto master of the Holy Light Cult, came out of his mouth with another, even worse news and speculation
"Your Excellency, ...... I think the news of His Majesty's death will have more than we thought......"
Licking his lips, Kane struggled to say what he feared the most as everyone watched
"Those nobles who are still stranded in the imperial capital...... Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, if ...... If they had learned of His Majesty's death, I am afraid they would have made that choice that we did not want to see, even the strongest walls could not withstand the destruction within, and perhaps I knew them better than anyone else here......"
