Chapter 122: Spells
As we all know, the Chilfus Lords of Eagle's Nest have an ancient tradition of marriage with the Reinhardt family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This ancient tradition of marriage, in the era of war a long time ago, allowed the Reinhardt family's War Bear Legion to be equipped and replenished. Let the Chilfoss lord family get enough glory and status, and it has been maintained until a few years ago, in the eyes of the people of the north, an incredible scene happened, the Eagle's Nest City Chilfus lord family actually openly betrayed Reinhardt and openly betrayed the northern continent.
The crest on the chest of the Eagle's Nest Man: an eagle soaring above the castle.
The Eagle's Nest Clan motto that every Eagle's Nest person shouts with their mouths open: "Entrenched in the Eagle's Nest, look down and watch!" ”
………………
The walls here are made of blue-veined white marble. At the end is the high position of the Chilvers family, an earl's seat carved from fishbeam wood and trimmed with fine iron.
The hall had long, narrow arched windows, and pillars of fire were inserted into iron candlesticks between the windows. It was the dining place of the castle's owner, and it was also a long and austere meeting hall.
"Why don't you speak?" Staring at the stunned faces in the hall, Count Craik finally couldn't help but speak.
Hearing the lord's words, there was a loud bang in the hall, and someone immediately stood up.
His right sleeve was still half off, his arm was wrapped in gauze, his trousers were bandaged at his left knee, his hair was unkempt, and a handful of them had been burned.
Lisa's brother, Reggie, replied resentfully, "My brother-in-law, we should fight Reinhardt and his northern pigs to the death. We have betrayed Reinhardt once, and we cannot betray the Duke of the West. Moreover, Reinhardt will not let us go. Have you forgotten how your daughters and sons, my nephews, died? Now, you should kill Rowling and her daughter! Send their heads to Reinhardt's throne! ”
This time to support Blackwater City, as soon as he stepped out of the territory of Eagle's Nest City, Reggie was intercepted and killed, not only losing the army but also removing one of his sword-holding arms.
And at this moment, following the direction of his fingers, there were two women sitting at the end of the long table.
One is Rowling Chilfuss. The long-missing Duchess of Samon. The mother of the current Grand Duke of the Reinhardt family, Rowling has another identity, and her surname is also Chilfuss, an Eagle's Nester, the sister of Earl Craik.
Faced with death's suggestion, Rowling was expressionless. On the one hand, it is her son who has not seen her for many years, and on the other hand, it is her own family.
And since the death of her eldest son, Simon, Rowling has never spoken a word. In everyone's eyes, she wore a pearl necklace around her neck, and her hair was long, beautifully curled and scattered around her waist like seaweed. She didn't embellish too much, but her simple outfit made her beautiful.
The other person sitting next to Rowling was Selena Reinhardt. In the sunlight setting from the skylight, Selena had long silver hair like seaweed, typical of Reinhardt blood. Her eyes were silver and her skin was white and ivory. Faced with the threat of death, Selena's whole person looked lazy and faint. She was smiling, but her eyes were indifferent.
"Kill if you want to, my dear...... Uncle. This was the only thing Princess Selena of Reinhardt could say in the room.
Hearing this implicit ironic response, Earl Craike's eyebrows were raised high, he had the urge to kill, but he felt sorry for his sister Rowling. He could not recognize this niece with silver hair and silver eyes, but he could not deny Rowling.
The Chilfuss family of the Eagle's Nest has an ancient tradition of marriage with the Reinhardt family, and in order to maintain this covenant, it is important to know that when Rowling married the Duke of Samon, it was the result of Count Craik's facilitation.
"The Chilfuss family, the Eagle's Nest, have lost the Eagle's son Lesen, the eagle's daughters, Catherine and Lina. But my sister Rowling, she also lost her husband and son. The guilt of war should not be borne by women. Don't forget, she has the blood of the Eagle's Nest in her body, and Rowling is my sister. ”
Count Craik is a shrewd and assertive lord. It's just that his words made his wife Lisa instantly lose control of her emotions, and she shouted desperately, "Despicable coward, you don't have the courage to avenge your son and daughter." Let me, then, come to me, these two women are our enemies, not your sisters and nephews. ”
Lisa held her son in one hand, drew a narrow dagger in the other, and climbed onto the long wooden table like an out-of-control madman. Although it was very stuck, it was stopped by the council chamber guards. But it finally made Count Kraike's head hot, and he drew his cross-sword and pointed it at the two women at the end of the table, and ordered, "Immediately, put them in a moon prison." ”
In the hall there is a narrow wooden door with fish beams, which stands between two slender pillars.
The door is carved in the shape of a crescent moon with a heavy bronze latch. As the door opens inward, it leads directly into the air.
Most of the executions in Eagle's Nest City are through this gate.
The infamous moon prison of Eagle's Nest. It was merely a shelf on the edge of a cliff, half exposed to the icy air.
Many prisoners would rather commit suicide than be held there. The Eagle's Nest City used a moon prison to imprison and execute prisoners, and they fell directly from the top of the high castle to the valley six hundred meters below.
………………
Compared with the world that is happening in the Council Hall of Eagle's Nest City, at this moment, the expeditionary army of the Sky Empire, in addition to sending 100,000 people to stay in various castles, with a total of about 500,000 troops, gave up several other territories that Blackwater City looked down on, and directly rushed towards Eagle's Nest City.
Half of the 500,000 Imperial Expeditionary Expeditionary Troops, most of which are berserkers.
Berserker's fighting style does not like to wear a lot of armor, let alone a shield. The only piece of equipment on the body is a double-edged machete: this two-handed weapon used by berserkers is 1.5 meters long and has a curled blade, which is best suited for slashing left and right in large groups of enemies alone.
The 300,000 Night Legion composed of orcs will need a long time to reach the entire Empire, and the main force of the Imperial Legion for the time being can only be dominated by the Berserker Legion.
Wearing armor with feathers on his head, leather sleeves on his arms, and a copper spear in his hand, he stood on foot at the mountain entrance of the Eagle's Nest people.
In Sauron's horizon, the trees here have staggered branches, stretched out luxuriantly as if they were woven-from trembling leaves, and the turquoise clouds stop at the clear blue sky. Standing on the hillside and looking down, I saw rows of apple trees, like a green Great Wall, lush and leafy.
The apple trees are full of fruits, red and big, like red lanterns hanging on the branches. The only detail that spoils this picture, the owner of the orchard and the farmer, has been chopped into pieces by the berserker, scattered everywhere.
The territory where the Eagle's Nest people have lived for generations, the mountains and forests are as green as emeralds, the valleys are like green velvet, the rivers are like flowing gelatin, and the humid air also gives people a crystal-like feeling.
"It's a pity that in the near future, all of this will be covered with a layer of blood, and the Eagle's Nest people are traitors, and they don't deserve to continue to occupy this territory."
The above is Sauron's punishment for the Eagle's Nest.
For the coming war, every Imperial soldier is not bound by discipline. Unlike other places, every Eagle's Nest is a sinner, and every Eagle's Nest person's property can be arbitrarily deprived.
"Kill! ~~”
A sturdy berserker with a horned helmet and six braids on the back of his head, with a single sword, sliced the Eagle's Nest in half from head to toe as he picked up a hoe to resist.
Then, the blood-stained berserker, like the rest of the people from the Barbarian Continent, looked at the world with curiosity.
The trees are green, as if giants are protecting this forest, which is verdant and rich that has never been seen before.
Every time a dead body falls and hits the torso of a tree, a few fallen leaves fall from the tall tree, as if to say goodbye to the tree. The blood-colored stream flowed, and every now and then it made a sound, like a funeral song for the Eagle's Nest people!
It was spring, and the small fish in the stream were picked up from the surface of the water for a while, and then fell into the water like meteors. But in the next second, a machete will immediately pierce the belly of the fish, bring it out of the stream at once, and quickly take it into the berserker's mouth.
The army of half a million people, overwhelming, entered the mountains and forests of the Eagle's Nest. From above, it looks like there are countless giant pythons, hunting and marching through the woods, causing panic and riots.
But the slaughter and assault of some Eagle's Nest civilians and farmers simply did not bring them to their knees. Because most of the Eagle's Nest people, as well as all the Eagle's Nest nobles, soldiers, and knights, have all retreated at this moment and gathered in the Eagle's Nest City to prepare for a decisive battle with the Imperial Expeditionary Army.
According to the return of the warriors of the Greenway Holy City, Zoro has obtained the exact number of the Eagle's Nest, and the soldiers plus the nobles, plus all the young adults, the Eagle's Nest has 50,000 people with weapons in their hands.
………………
Unlike Blackwater Fortress. On the blueprint of the Ice Warriors of the Greenway Holy City, Zoro could see the scale of the entire Eagle's Nest defenses at a glance.
The so-called Eagle's Nest is the smallest and highest in the middle of a large number of major castles.
As far as the eye can see, it is only made up of a cluster of seven slender white towers closely connected, and the Eagle's Nest is the centerpiece of many castles, which can actually only accommodate a few thousand people at most.
The castle of the core nobles was built of ornate white stone. Sturdy, gorgeous, majestic, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In order to finally reach and capture Eagle's Nest, the invaders must capture the Blood Gate, which guards the mountain road to Eagle's Nest, and defeat the huge number of Moon Gate guards located at the bottom of the mountain.
It then goes up a very narrow goat trail, which would normally take half a day to walk.
And on the way to attack, all the Imperial soldiers will be exposed to the attacks of the defenders of Eagle's Nest City and the three fortresses.
"Black Rock Fort, the first castle to bear the brunt of it, is surrounded by woods on the path leading to it. There were several heavy iron gates, and even the stone walls were covered with iron thorns, and there were six fat arrow towers around it to protect the main fort. ”
"Black Mountain Fort, is the second castle, in order to enter this castle, you must attack from Black Rock Fort and occupy the first step.
Above these steps, there are fortified towers, as well as stables behind low stone walls. A large group of Eagle's Nest Knights can control and sweep the entire passage from Black Rock Castle upwards at any time. ”
Black Sky Fort, the road to Black Sky Fort is the most precipitous.
The road was exposed to strong winds, and the steps were broken due to perennial freezing. The Black Sky Fort is a towering, crescent-shaped tower made of rough stone on the side of a mountain.
Within the walls there is a series of ramps and a large pile of boulders ready to be thrown downward, which can even cause a small avalanche. There is a cave that contains a natural hall, stables, and storage supplies. There is a staircase carved into the rock that leads to the Eagle's Nest, which sits six hundred feet above it.
Staring intently at the map, the supreme spiritual leader and military leader of the Imperial Legion, Sauron's order sounded very simple, but it was also very bloody, "The Heavenly Wing Warriors of the Holy City, want to use the Fallen Sky Strike to directly blast into the most sinister Black Sky Fort and Eagle's Nest City. It is necessary to enter within a distance of five thousand meters, and Black Rock Fort is the first castle to bear the brunt. The Imperial Legion must capture and occupy it by noon tomorrow. And I believe that the next war will become easy! Now, command the Berserker Legion and prepare for glory for the Empire! ”
The legion commanders Xianli, Behringer, and more than a hundred berserker patriarchs, large and small, did not say a word, and all knelt on the ground humbly and respectfully.
The battle of punishment against the Eagle's Nest officially kicked off at this moment.
In the mountains and forests of the Eagle's Nest at night, the temperature seems to be very low, and from time to time there is a howl or two of wild beasts, and the wail of owls.
The bright moonlight, a straight beam of light, pierced through the cracks in the canopy into the depths of the forest, shining on the thick moss of the ground and a pair of red, bloodshot eyes. And the swarthy horned helmet, and the reflective two-handed machete in the hands of every berserker.
Sauron's order, if you want to conquer Eagle's Nest City, you only need to take Black Rock Fort. And on the narrow and towering stone path, there will be blood overflowing.
The breeze passed, and the branches and leaves made a rustling sound, just like the dragon's sigh, and the forest at night was too quiet, and the sound of the wind that had existed suddenly disappeared. Only a few crows' whimpering sounds diffused from time to time in the empty air with the smell of blood, which seemed to be the last struggle of life, and it seemed to be a cry for help before death.
Woo woo woo woo -- the assault horn of the berserker sounded from the rear.
The clouds obscured the moon, as if it was in the final stages of brewing, and the whole land was shrouded in darkness, and the original fangs and claws of the woods were soaked in a single piece, which seemed so depressing.
In the night sky, an arrow pierced through the trees, reflected in the pupils of a bird, and sank into the forehead of an eagle's nest sentinel soldier.
The eyes of the dead, staring blankly at the dark night sky. Then, the dark clouds slowly began to withdraw from the sky, revealing the moon little by little, tugging at the hearts of every Eagle's Nest soldier.
Because, the moon was red, red with blood.
When the blood moon came, the forest below Black Rock Castle was like under a spell, dancing wildly, the sound of leaves rubbing against leaves, and in an instant, the sky was covered with the light of torches. (To be continued.) )
