Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Epic Battle of the Blood Moon

(Ask for recommended tickets!! )

………………………………………………………………

The news of the fall of Blackwater City once spread to the entire Northern Continent, making half of the people in the North boil, but making the other half of the people in the North feel scared and panicked.

The former were mostly farmers and commoners loyal to the Reinhardt family.

The latter are mostly northern nobles who betrayed the Reinhardt family and made an alliance with the Grand Duke of the West and the White Forest Legion.

The Northern Continent is about to change again, and the first one to bear the brunt of the Reinhardt family's wrath and punishment this time is the traitor! This is the groan in the hearts of all civilians in the North, including the Eagle's Nest not far from Blackwater City, the territory of the Eagle's Nest.

The territory of Eagle's Nest is a large rugged mountainous area that produces iron ore and coal for the entire northern continent.

And this place has the best armor and weapon craftsmen in the northern continent.

The current lord of Eagle's Nest: Craike. Danny. Chilfuss, known as Earl Craic. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and liked to wear a faded old leather armor, with large bright eyes embedded in his bronzed face. On the forehead, there are already many deep wrinkles because of some heavy emotions piled up there.

At this time, Lisa, the countess of Eagle's Nest City. Corenne, who may have noticed that her husband was watching her, had wrinkles like water ripples on her previously smooth forehead, which were reflected one by one, "One, two, three......."

Lisa doesn't like wrinkles, but every time she looks in the mirror, she rubs her hand her forehead to erase the marks left on her forehead by the years.

When she found that her husband was stunned when she locked her eyebrows, she just hugged the child in her arms and sat there in a daze. Until her two daughters and one son have not been heard from since Shigang City, she is often like this. And Lisa often thinks, "All three of my children are probably dead." Only young Harlan was left with me, my only remaining child. ”

The child in Lisa's arms, with long eyelash eyes, made him even more childish. He has a habit of blinking, blinking all day long. Whenever he was in a hurry, his eyes blinked even harder.

As we all know, the Chilfus Lords of Eagle's Nest have an ancient tradition of marriage with the Reinhardt family.

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 family of the Lord of Chilfus get enough glory and status. It has been maintained until a few years ago, when an incredible scene occurred in the eyes of the people of the North, when the Lord of Chilfus of Eagle's Nest City 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.

"You guys. Why don't you speak. Staring at the stunned faces in the hall, Count Craike finally couldn't help but speak.

Hearing the lord's words, there was a loud bang in the hall, and someone immediately stood up.

He still has half of his right sleeve left. His arms were wrapped in gauze, his trousers were bandaged at his left knee, his hair was disheveled, and a handful of them had been burned.

Lisa's younger brother, Reggie. He replied resentfully, "My brother-in-law, we should fight Reinhardt and his northern pigs to the death. We have betrayed Reinhardt once. You can't betray the Duke of the Westlands again. 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 Archduke Aaron 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. Standing 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 to the world that is happening in the Council Hall of Eagle's Nest City, at this moment, the expeditionary army of the Spartan Empire, except for the dispatch of 100,000 people to stay in various castles, the total number of troops is about 500,000. Giving up the territory that several other Blackwater City looked down on, he pounced directly on 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 more armor. I don't like to take a shield even more. 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.

A legion of 300,000 orcs in the night. Arriving in the Middle Empire, it will take a long time, and temporarily the main force of the Imperial Legion. It can only be dominated by berserker legions.

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 Aaron's vision, the trees here have interlaced branches, stretched out luxuriantly as if the trembling leaves were woven into irregular domes and turquoise clouds, stopping 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 the punishment of the Emperor of the Spartan Empire and the god of war Ares to 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.

"Sparta! ~~”

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 nobles, soldiers, and knights of the Eagle's Nest, they have all retreated at this moment and gathered in the Eagle's Nest City to prepare for a decisive battle with the Spartan Empire expeditionary army.

According to the return of the Greenway Holy City warriors, Aaron has obtained the exact number of Eagle's Nest people, and the soldiers plus the nobles, plus all the young adults, the Eagle's Nest people have 200,000 weapons in their hands.

………………

Unlike Blackwater Fortress. On the blueprint of the Ice Warriors of the Greenway Holy City, Aaron 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 could see, it was just a cluster of seven slender white towers closely connected, and the Eagle's Nest was the centerpiece of many castles, which could actually only hold a maximum of fifteen hundred people.

The castle of the core nobles was built of ornate white stone. Sturdy, gorgeous, majestic, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

And to finally reach and capture the Eagle's Nest. The invaders must capture the Blood Gate, which guards the mountain path to Eagle's Nest City, 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 soldiers of the Spartan Empire will be exposed to the attack of the defenders of the 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. ”

"Fort Montenegro. It is the second castle, and in order to enter this castle, it is necessary to attack from the Black Rock Castle and occupy the first step.

On top of these steps. There are also 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 is exposed to strong winds. The steps are 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 stored 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, as the god of war and emperor, the supreme spiritual leader and military leader of the Imperial Legion, Aaron's order sounded very simple, but it was also very bloody, "The Spartan warriors of the Void Holy City, want to use the Fallen Sky Strike to directly blast into the most sinister Black Sky Castle 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, order the Berserker legions, wash their bodies, and prepare to sacrifice their blood for the Empire and the God of War! ”

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.

The order of the god of war, if you want to conquer the Eagle's Nest City, you only need to take the 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.

"Woohoo whoop - woo woo!" Berserker cries swept through the night sky over the heads of the Eagle's Nest. The Eagle's Nest people were uneasy, panicked, and frightened, and then desperately clenched the weapons in their hands.

A strong team of bear infantry pushed the ramming cart and entered the stone path surrounded by countless machetes. In the back, there are not a few wolf soldiers who carry ladders, rope speed, and agility in climbing.

Five thousand Green Path Holy City Ice Warriors turned into giant eagles, and their powerful claws flew into the sky with rocks, like a terrifying dark cloud.

"Trebuchets fire, archers release arrows!"

With the hasty and panicked order of the Black Rock Fort General, the war to destroy the Eagle's Nest City and the Eagle's Nest people finally began. (To be continued......)
