Chapter 229: The Danger of Phantom Knight City (1st Update)
Phantom Knight City.
In the last months of the year 1314 in the Ultron calendar, the name of this miraculous city appeared frequently in the mouths of bards throughout the continent.
A new city that rises in the southern wilderness of the mainland, whether it is the rise process or the development after the rise, it can be called a miracle.
Because I heard that there was the best land there, any family who went to the land could get a piece of fertile land of not less than ten acres, and only a quarter of the grain needed to be rented to the lord for three years, and the rest of the taxes were exempted.
The desire for land and the expansion of living space has led thousands of poor people to brave the cold winter to come to Phantom Knight.
Only when the cold winter arrives can we catch the seeds in early spring and wait for the best harvest.
During Raven's disappearance, both Effie and Karin were busy.
Since none of them really have a sense of the overall situation and know how to control the military and government, they are unwittingly dragged away from the center of gravity of the ruling by the busy internal affairs.
The seemingly powerful force makes them ignore the strength of the enemy.
Under the tandem of some conspirators, at the end of January 1314, the orcs sent an army, and 76,000 orcs, with the will of the orc gods, dragged the high-precision siege equipment secretly sent by the Pauvon Kingdom, and brazenly attacked in the middle of winter.
Together, the Grey Dwarves and Kobold joined forces, and the two underground races dug hundreds of passages into the underground of Phantom Knight City.
If it weren't for the No. 9 Floating Island, and Lyra's early determination of the Kingdom of God on Earth, ordinary cities would have been destroyed by this kind of underground attack and breakthrough from the inside out.
Looking out over the walls of the city, there are newly built villages that have been burned down everywhere. The orcs passed by and even pulled out the stakes of the houses to serve as siege equipment.
The sudden outbreak of war has left this beautiful new city in tatters, and the streets and alleys of the city are now crowded with refugees who have fled from various pioneering villages, as well as many poor people who have just arrived and have been dragged into the war before they have even divided a penny and a half of land.
The newcomers cursed their misfortune and the incompetence of their lords, but the Pioneer Legion warriors who had survived the previous battles had gone from being recruits to being savvy veterans.
More importantly, since Leila established the kingdom of God on earth, all believers who sincerely serve Leila become prayers almost immediately after being killed in battle. Reappeared on the front line of defense.
Death in battle, not real death.
Rather, it is a different kind of sublimation, a living example that stimulates people's fanatical emotions. If it weren't for Leila's timely announcement, only the most heroic. The warrior who kills the most enemies will be selected first to become the Invoker or the Holy Spirit, which may indeed set off some kind of extreme wave.
In addition, the most confident thing for the citizens is the Iron Golem. Their massive bodies are almost two-thirds the height of the city walls.
It can be said that the thirty steel golems are the real outer walls.
They can do almost anything: cleave flying stones, sweep through swarming orcs, chop down ladders. Although they are only silver-tier golems, they are even more difficult than gold-tier masters. The Iron Golem, which fights with its back to the city walls, has few weaknesses.
Of course, the most eye-catching is the sky-blue golem called Terry.
The huge body is almost the height of the city wall, and has a light spirit comparable to that of a human wanderer. The warriors of the Pioneer Legion had seen Terry the Golem climb a section of the wall that had almost been breached, and without stepping on any of their own men, they would kill all the orcs who rushed in as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.
The battlefield is the most tempering of people.
There are only 18 elites left in the hunting team, but each of the remaining ones has advanced to the gold level, and the leaders of Bai Mao and Catan have soared in strength in continuous battles, and their strength is close to the peak of gold.
At the end of February, Karin ordered the addition of 32 silver-tier masters, officially renamed the hunting party the Phantom Knights, and characterized it as an elite force directly under Raven. In Raven's absence. The second command is Karin, and the third is Leila.
The head of the regiment is...... White hair.
Although a certain half-bear man is slightly funny, he is the most capable of fighting, the oldest qualified, and the most loyal, and he does not choose who he chooses.
However, the situation deteriorated further as the war entered March 1314.
Speaking of which, this is also because Effie is too soft-hearted. Arranged by West, the brain of God, the murder of the church for the first time was not in business, and the old king of the Corianpais was kidnapped. Under the control of brainwashing spells such as [Human Control], the old king of Golian Pais openly stood up. It is said that Effie is rebelling and her throne is not legitimate.
Then, led by the Kingdom of Pavon, the four surrounding kingdoms submitted their credentials to Effine, asking Eiffine to abdicate. Re-entrust the throne to the old king controlled by Pavon, otherwise a 'just war' will be waged.
In fact, less than twenty-four hours after the presentation of the credentials, the forces of the Five Nations, which had not received any reply from Effie, broke through to the border of the Golenpais from all five directions.
For a time, the whole line was in an emergency.
This time, even if the Red Knight can fight again, he can only choose to stick to the key points of Golian Pais.
March 10th. The situation deteriorated further, and the Mosha Empire recalled the infantry regiments sent to Raven, not only the Mosha royal family, but also Darsnir's men.
As if to signal this, a large number of foreign refugees and soldiers who had joined the Pioneer Corps from far and wide began to flee. The people who remained in the Pioneer Corps were basically the Golians of the Pais.
On March 12, Karin convened an emergency meeting.
Effie gritted her teeth, her position was the most embarrassing, she was forced to take the position by Raven, but she had been doing a good job for the sake of Golian Pais. Even now, being pointed out by Qianfu, she is still working tirelessly to unite every strength that can be united.
Effie was the first to speak: "I don't want to be discouraged, but it's so bad that if we can't find any more reinforcements, we'll be done in a month." ”
"Maybe it won't take a month, I can only last half a month."
It was Leila who spoke, and everyone saw her image silently. A newly established kingdom of God will certainly not have any savings. Leila's kingdom of God opened at the worst moment, in order to muster up the courage of everyone to fight, as long as she is a devout believer, Leila is basically included in the kingdom of God, however, this has led to the power of faith in the kingdom of God cannot make ends meet.
In order to save divine power, Leila turned back into the 13-year-old Lori with a childish face.
The Red Knight spoke: "Thanks to Raven's generosity after his successful development. The majority of the people in the country of Collinpais strongly supported Queen Ephein. However, because of the full support for development, the surplus grain in the country was basically emptied. It's a pity that Golian Pais is just a kingdom. The population base is so low that even if it enters a state of all-out war, I estimate that it will only support it for a month at most. ”
Shanny poked her fingers lightly in her temples, and said succinctly: "I can also send 800 church arms." But the average is also the silver level. You see, the doctrine of the Church of Love and Goodness does not allow me to have too many troops. ”
Everyone was sighing, and Shannie was doing her best.
But 800 people is still not enough.
The situation in front of us is a bottomless pit. It is clear that the orc gods, the human god of war, Karegos, the murder god Ciric, the gray dwarf god Radug, and the kobold god Kurtumaki, these Raven's enemies have all been united. Taking advantage of Raven's absence, he will use the power of the mortal world to defeat Leila and the Red Knight first.
It would be even better if they succeeded in destroying Leila's kingdom again.
It's a huge net.
Everyone knows that this deadly net is being tightened step by step.
Karin asked, "What did the paladin say?" ”
Effie shook his head: "This is a secular war, and the holy warriors only kill the evil. ”
Karin asked again, "What about the gnomes?" ”
"It's long gone!" The Red Knight cursed.
Leila's nose was red: "I suddenly feel that I'm a god who is a failure, and I haven't had Raven's good popularity for two or three thousand years......"
Everyone was speechless for a while, and secretly said in their hearts: You are a homely ......
Karin pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something.
The red knight said directly: "If you want to say it, just say it." ”
"I asked Anzu to bring a guy in, and what she said, please judge for yourself."
Two minutes later, when she came in, the three goddesses were excited at the same time.
"Karin. You're actually colluding with the devil!? ”
Right! It's a pleasure demon that comes in! She is, of course, the advanced Melissa.
"Good day, dear gods."
"Get out! There is no place for the devil here! The Red Knight was furious.
Even Shanny, who felt good in her temper, lowered her face: "We have no interest in trading with the devil." ”
"It's not a deal. It's just an unconditional offering. Melissa didn't say much, and pulled out a few gorgeous soul crystals.
"It's ...... The soul of a legendary powerhouse? Lyra, who was still more familiar with golems, spoke.
"Unconditional devotion? I don't think a devil has such a good heart. The Red Knight sneered.
"If I were a pleasure demon loyal to the Devil King, of course you wouldn't be at ease. I have unilaterally sworn in the name of the River Styx that my body and soul are loyal to Raven Yunfield's master's servant! ”
Styx Oath!
Of course, the three goddesses knew what the Styx Oath was, and they were suddenly a little relieved.
"I wonder if the goddesses still recognize that these three souls are the souls of the three kobold legendary powerhouses when they conquered the kobold kingdom?"
This time, the three goddesses were completely convinced.
Raven is an absolute pragmatist, whenever he can take advantage of it. Whether it's Bane, the god of tyranny, or Tyr, the god of justice, there's nothing Raven wouldn't dare to do. At that Raven's coming-of-age ceremony, some people even speculated whether even Bane would send an incarnation. If it comes, it will be interesting.
Melissa respectfully offered another bunch of soul crystals: "This is a silver rank. I think it would be useful for Leila to go to God. ”
"Alright! Go down! Effie commanded.
Melissa stepped back.
"How?" Karin asked.
"We can get three more Legendary Mithril Golems and forty Steel Golems in three days." Leila replied.
All participants breathed a sigh of relief.
It should be able to last an extra month.
But I still want Raven to come back, otherwise, no one can think of it. How to turn the tables in the face of such adversity......
Staring out the window, there were tears in the corners of Leila's eyes: "Bastard! Don't die yet! (To be continued.) )
PS: Tomorrow 2 will be more ...... It's just that I guess the situation is like this, and I don't know how the network is in the hot spring hotel, so of course I have more......
ps, subscriptions, rewards, monthly passes, none of them can be missing!
