Chapter 293: In the Blue Water City
The number of cavalry troops was beyond the expectations of everyone in Bishui City, and when the entire team appeared in the field of vision of various officials, the horses' hooves on the plain were thundering. A black army pressed over like a dark cloud.
Look at the scale, there are at least six or seven thousand people.
The flags of the army include the fiery red maple leaf flag, the blue stag flag, and the silver-gray roaring brown bear flag, indicating that the team is made up of the armies of three noble lords.
The stag represents the Marquis of Nugli in the eastern part of the duchy, and the brown bear is the mark of the Earl of Langris, the owner of Oak County in the south-central of the three counties of the Red Maple Province.
For Bishui City, which currently has less than 15,000 soldiers, these 6,000 warriors are really a huge force, especially the presence of Earl Maple, who seems to be already the strongest man in the principality, this is a peerless figure who can knock the sword of the Full Moon Sword Saint away. As soon as he came, he added the paladin Joseph. Martin, Morovogen is no longer a threat.
The officials of Blue Water City, who had just been in a heavy mood because of the ambush of the Radiant Knights, all had heartfelt smiles on their faces, and they had a lot of confidence in their hearts to defend Blue Water City.
The Blue Water City Lord Frenol breathed a sigh of relief and said to the paladin beside him: "If the demon of Moro Vogen dares to come again, it is estimated that there will be no return." ā
Joseph nodded slightly: "Indeed, if Count Maple Leaf can come, I will be much more relieved." ā
His eyes were fixed on the approaching cavalry, and in his eyes, the cavalry in front of him was clearly divided into two parts.
Some of the cavalry were dressed in fine chain mail, and the officers were knights' plate armor, all of them were as imposing as tigers and fierce, and these cavalrymen had maple leaf insignia on their bodies. There are three thousand of them, and they should all be Count Maple Leaf's warriors.
The other 3,000 people were not good, they were only wearing ordinary studded leather armor, and they did not have that fierce momentum on their bodies, but had a little ruffian.
Such fighters. It is more than enough to help defend the city walls, but if you want to fight your opponent to the death on the plains, you will probably have to collapse before the battle begins, and the insignia on these soldiers is naturally a stag and a brown bear.
A count of 3,000 warriors was a violation of the duchy's edicts, but Joseph was not surprised.
The Church of the Lord of Radiance is independent of secular strife. Never taking part in disputes between nobles, the most fierce means of expressing oneself was solidarity and protest, and the Knights of Radiance never served any nobleman, and their power was nothing compared to that of a true lord, such as Archduke Lehman. The usual task is only to clear the dark forces.
Because of this, the nobles did not have a defense against the Glorious Church, and the Church naturally had a better understanding of the continental form.
Joseph knew about the relationship between Earl Maple Leaf and Fix Island, and he also knew that the fleet went south to rescue the orcs this time, and he also knew that in the fleet, Earl Maple Leaf defeated Morovogen again. And the Earl of Maple Leaf secretly accumulates strength, Joseph is also very clear.
In times of peace, this is, of course, a big bad thing. It will only bring war and strife. But when this army of the undead is plagued by the continent, any power is precious, as long as Count Maple Leaf does not go against the grain. The church will remain silent, and even silently support the earl, such as when the fleet goes south, and those holy water and holy crystals are all from the hands of the church.
So now that Count Maple Leaf appeared in Blue Water City, it would give Joseph far more inspiration than the others, because he knew the power of this count best. A deep understanding of how powerful his assistance is.
As he pondered, the cavalry was approaching. Some of them came to a halt in unison, while others seemed to be chaotic. The man shouted and neighed, and it took a while to stop.
A warrior dressed in dark green and exquisite war armor stepped forward, his horse was as vigorous as a dragon, and the knight on horseback had a deep temperament like an abyss. Martin saluted: "Your Highness." ā
Joseph also stroked his chest and saluted: "Count." ā
Luo Lin nodded to a cadre of officials in Bishui City again, said hello, and then spoke: "This time, the 1,800 soldiers of the Marquis of Nugli and the 1,200 men of the Count of Langlis are all under my command. City Lord, my warriors have been rushing all the way day and night, and they need to recuperate, so I bother you to arrange it. ā
As for the two lords, of course they didn't come, they were all drunk, and the woman had good skills, so she went to the battlefield? Not even qualified to be transformed into an undead.
Flino agreed with a happy face: "Of course, of course." ā
As for the problem of the number of warriors of Count Maple Leaf, everyone present chose to ignore this, and they wished that the more warriors who came to support the better.
Bishui City is not worried about the problem of food and grass, all the noble lords are well aware of the importance of the defense line of Bishui City, the fall of Baiyun City, this is really already a burning eyebrow, and if you want to have reservations, then you really have to keep it until the grave leaves. So they all supported it with all their might, and they really even took out the old family capital, with the current population of less than 100,000 in Bishui City, it is no problem to eat hard for three years.
The gates were wide open, and Rollin entered the city with more than 6,000 warriors. Along the way, I saw that the faces of the ordinary people in the city had a look of panic, these people were originally going to flee, but now they should have been forcibly left behind, most of them are craftsmen and men in good health, because the fortifications of the city wall need the strength of these people, and the warriors need to keep their strength and people desperately, it is impossible to do these rough jobs.
There were also a lot of warriors in the streets, there were regular troops, there were mercenaries, and there were many more on the walls in the distance, and here the distance was so far that a man on the city wall looked like an ant, and they were there to strengthen the walls and prepare all kinds of defensive equipment.
A tense atmosphere of imminent war envelops the city on the shores of a clear lake.
Soon, Rollin's warriors were brought to a makeshift camp, which was very simple, but fortunately there was enough to eat and drink, and it was not the time to be picky, and everyone came from all the way, and they were indeed tired, and after eating something, they all shrank into the tent to rest.
Luo Lin refused the invitation of the city lord of Bishui City, and found an independent tent in this camp, he had to stay with his soldiers at all times, in case of a battle, he had to let his soldiers know about his existence as soon as possible.
Because no matter how well these soldiers are usually trained, they have never seen much blood. In the end, it is still fresh and tender.
As for Angela, she is also dressed in battle armor now, hiding in the group of warriors, and no one even notices her. She thought about it, and settled down in the tent. Of course, she had special care and had her own self-contained tent.
The next few days were relatively peaceful, except for the constant movement of the undead brought back by the scouts to the eastern plains, and the sporadic warriors who came from all over to join the army, about fifty or sixty a day.
Rollin hasn't been idle these days. He exchanged conversations with the lords who came to support him from all over the country, and finally established the leadership of this defensive battle, that is, the military commander of Blue Water City, and all the lords listened to his arrangement.
It's a matter of course, number one. He brought with him the largest number of warriors, more than 6,000, accounting for more than 25% of the total number of defenders, and secondly, his warriors were the most elite, and his own force was also convinced by everyone.
It wasn't until the fifth day that the scout brought back the news that the undead had left Baiyun City. The numbers are so dense that they cannot be counted, and they are divided into two ways. All the way to Bishui City, there were at least 100,000 people, and another one went towards the lakeside fortress on the south shore of Bishui Lake, the number is difficult to estimate, but it is definitely not less than 50,000, and these do not include the undead who deliberately hide their tracks.
100,000 undead. Not to mention combat power, this number alone is terrifying. A shadow instantly cast over the sky over Blue Water City.
When he heard the news, Luo Lin was in a makeshift command room with a lord on the edge of the walls of Blue Water City. There were seven or eight lords around. When several of these lords came to participate in the battle, they naturally had the corresponding force, and each of them acted as temporary branch commanders.
Circulate the texts brought by the scouts one by one, and when all the lords understood the situation, Luo Lin spoke: "What do you think?" ā
Mullen, lord of Molten Steel City. Morality. Marquis Charlemagne stood up, he was a big knight, a level 37 elite warrior, with fiery red hair and beard, a black battle armor, tall and mighty: "The undead who came towards us, at least 100,000 were low-level undead, and there were only less than 20,000 truly powerful high-level undead, and although there were not as many undead attacking the lakeside fortress as there were on our side, there were 40,000 high-level undead." It is clear that the undead are preparing to break through from the lakeside fortress! ā
As for Swan Castle, the undead will definitely not go from this side, because Swan Castle is built on a bridge, and if it is pressed, the fortress commander will definitely blow up the bridge.
Some people may wonder why the undead don't dive under the lake, and they don't breathe. In fact, in response to this, the Terrans have already had a way to deal with it, they have pulled multiple fishing nets at the bottom of the lake, and they have also arranged a breath monitoring magic array, which will detect if the undead pass by.
Detecting the undead is only the first step, and the second step is to pour holy water into the lake. The power of the Holy Force is very unique, and when it spreads very quickly in the water, the effect is also very good.
As long as the Terrans do this, it is estimated that the undead under the water will remain at the bottom of the lake forever.
This method is a precious legacy of the battle of light and darkness 10,000 years ago.
What Mu Lun said is very reasonable, and the strategy of the undead is also in line with common sense, the blue water city has many soldiers and high food, it is difficult to capture, the lakeside fortress is much better, besiege the blue water city with a large army, force it to close the city, and then storm the lakeside fortress on the other side, as long as it breaks through, it will be followed by a horse and a flat river, and then it should be combined with the Davik fortress, and it is only a matter of time before the Principality of Lehman becomes the country of the undead.
"It's clear that we have to go to the lakeside fortress. I built yƬ and allocated 10,000 troops to take a boat to the fortress. And the remaining 10,000 people we have here can completely defend the Blue Water City. "It was Viscount Crodren, the lord of Creekwood City, who spoke.
Luo Lin listened quietly, saying that practically, he had a relatively risky plan, that is, to go out of the city, directly defeat the undead legion, and then wave his army south to support the fortress.
It is true that there are many undead in the siege of the city, but his nemesis of the undead is about to arrive, and with that thing, it is not difficult to charge all the way and kill the undead commander with his three thousand cavalry as the vanguard, and the seven thousand cavalry in the city follow.
He was about to open his mouth to say this, when suddenly a soldier came to report: "The great knight Zacrow has come to support with 10,000 elite legions, and has arrived outside the city. ā
As soon as this news came out, all the lords present were overjoyed, and Luo Lin's heart was slightly relieved, but then, he thought of a question.
Zacrow brought 20,000 elite soldiers here, then he will be the commander of Bishui City, and then he and his army will be in an extremely embarrassing situation, because no matter what, his 3,000 cavalry have violated the decree of Archduke Lehman and are suspected of rebellion, and Zacrow is the most loyal to Archduke Lehman.
These thoughts swept through Rollin's mind for a moment, and then he made a decision: "No matter, let's look at Zaquero's attitude first." (To be continued) R580
