Chapter 407: The Legend of the Knight King (20) The Battle of Bosold Mountain
The next morning, the barbarians launched an invasion of Mount Bosold, where Arthur was stationed, starting with long-range strikes. The barbarians' long-range attacks were far inferior to those of civilized countries, but the army that Arthur brought to Mount Bosolde at this time was not a regular army.
As a result, after three rounds of covering strikes, the camp under the mountain was all destroyed, and at this time, up to 40,000 barbarians sent their first wave of troops to invade, looking at the black and overwhelming enemy army, several defenders almost collapsed on the spot, and even knelt down directly to join the enemy.
But the barbarians did not accept any captives, or they only wanted to capture Arthur, so even though the defenders cried and shouted for surrender, they were still cut off by the barbarians and hung under the mountain.
In the first wave of the barbarian impact, Arthur fulfilled his pre-war promise, and from beginning to end, he carried his natal monster dragon and lion, wielding a sword in the stone, and fought hard at the front line.
Arthur, riding a dragon and lion, was so majestic, and had confirmed that the barbarians would not accept the surrender, so except for a few soldiers who fled, including Gaybude, these people really persevered.
In the first wave of invasion, the most difficult barbarian soldier Arthur faced was a shaman who was protected by several fire phosphorus-level warriors, and he himself was already a violet-level soldier, relying on the field to expand, and easily killed from the bottom of the mountain.
"That shaman must be killed, or the battle line will collapse immediately!" Arthur realized the problem and yelled at the officers, "I'll kill that shaman, as soon as the shaman dies, this wave of attacks will retreat!"
So Arthur, who was the commander-in-chief, rode his dragon and lion without anyone's cover, and killed the shaman alone.
However, as mentioned earlier, the shaman was not only guarded by a few fire phosphorus-level warriors, but also surrounded by many ordinary barbarian guards, so Arthur could not bypass these blockers.
What's worse is that over time, Arthur was surrounded by enemy legions, but now the barbarians wanted to capture Arthur alive without a dead hand, and they also had a small infighting, which made Arthur barely hold on.
"Haha! It looks like the credit for capturing King Arthur is about to fall to me," the shaman smirked and commanded the troops to surround King Arthur, "Hurry up! Be careful that no one is allowed to kill King Arthur except me! Otherwise, when I go back, I will send your whole family down the River Styx!"
"My faithful servant! That tribe dares to rush up! King Arthur is my prey, drive out all the armies except our tribe! They can also attack the top of Bosold!"
Is there no hope? When despair was about to envelop Arthur, Arthur used perseverance to dispel despair: "No, I am a knight, I am a knight of glory! A knight will win, justice will win!"
"Hehe, what is that poor King Arthur yelling at? Does he think that he is the protagonist of troubadour, and he can break through with a few shouts, and then skip the level," the shaman didn't continue, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, because Arthur broke through, he broke through from the fire phosphorus level to the violet level!
"Damn! I'm going to win, what the hell is this! Aren't troubadours all imaginary things of fools! How can it be in reality!" The unwilling shaman roared angrily, roaring, and drove his soldiers to rush forward, "It is impossible for such a thing to break through in reality, this is fake! You rush up for me! It doesn't matter if you kill me!"
When he fooled his soldiers to go up to their deaths, the shaman wiped the sweat droplets from his face with a trembling hand: "It's okay, it's okay, the realm of the Beast Master Ziluo level is a military formation, and it must be used with the cavalry regiment or the Warcraft Regiment, even if King Arthur really breaks through, it will have no effect." ”
As the shaman comforted himself, he suddenly realized that the movement around him had stopped, and when he looked back, he saw that the allies he had driven out not long ago were now really far away from him, crouching and watching the shaman fight, and not even besieging Bosold Mountain.
In other words, only the Shamanic tribe was now besieging King Arthur, and the rest of the army had all herded their sheep and squatted aside to watch the excitement, which gave Bosold's defenders a chance to breathe.
"The large army retreated to the camp on the top of the hill (actually the top of the hill)! The camp here is completely damaged!" Although the officer brought by Arthur is not a knight, he is a knight apprentice who was accepted in the academy era, and it is also quite reliable, "But I need a team of people to volunteer to stay and support the Grand Duke!"
Gaybud, who was still alive, raised his hand excitedly, although he was very tired now, but because of his reverence for the Grand Duke, he still insisted on staying. Led by Gebut, a group of men soon stayed behind for support, while the large army retreated to the improvised barracks at the top of the hills.
On the other side, the decisive battle between Arthur and the shaman's army had come to an end, and the shaman was shocked to find that Arthur, a cultivator who had just advanced to the purple carrot level, did not have a trace of fatigue in promotion, and quickly surpassed himself in the application of the field, and began to counter-suppress.
"No! This can't be! How can you, a young man of about twenty years old, be so strong! There is such a talented and demonic cultivator!" The shaman found that he was about to be overwhelmed, so he had to turn his head and shout to the rear, "Help me! Come and support me?"
However, to the shaman's eyes, the chiefs in the rear actually talked about the weather, and the barbarian army either squatted on the ground to draw circles or talked to each other, completely ignoring their own tribe.
"No, bastard, I don't believe it!ahhhh
"The god of the sky is sheltered, I have used all my spiritual power to kill this shaman," Arthur thanked the god of the sky for his protection, and immediately retreated, with the support of Gaybut's troops, to the improvised military camp on the top of the hill.
It was only noon on the first day, and although Mount Bosold was easy to defend and Arthur had commanded his army to build some defenses, but even so, it was only the first wave of impact, and in just one morning, only 2,000 of the 5,000 men brought by Arthur retreated to the top of the hill.
It can also be seen from here how poor the quality of the army brought by Arthur was, and it is no wonder that the nobles of Karachi thought that Arthur would be defeated.
The improvised barracks at the top of the hill are really rudimentary, there is not even a ravine outside the barracks, and the only defense is a 4-meter-high tower and very fragile wooden fences.
The weak-willed had already fled, but the remaining 2,000 soldiers, including Gaybut, were still following Arthur. In fact, Gaybold wanted to escape for a long time, but when he saw that Arthur was really the same as he promised before he went on the expedition, he was always fighting on the front line, and Gaybud barely persevered.
The assault on Arthur was going well, and it seemed that Arthur's defeat was a foregone conclusion, while the barbarian coalition began to quarrel again.
"Wouldn't it be enough to fire a few more rounds of long-range coverage? Why do we need to rush forward?" said the mob leader.
"Long-range coverage, if King Arthur is shot to death, then we won't fight for nothing? After all, a living King Arthur is more valuable than a dead King Arthur!"
This is how King Sark, the leader of the Barbarian Alliance, replied to the outcasts, but the real reason was simply that the barbarians could not make new ranged coverage. The barbarians' three rounds of long-range coverage at the beginning of the war were already all the barbarians' long-range abilities, and they were still under the mountain, and now that Arthur had moved to the mountain, the barbarians really couldn't continue to bombard.
Long-range coverage is the biggest difference between civilized countries and barbarians, and civilized countries can beat barbarians into dogs in formal wars, relying on their own long-range coverage capabilities that are far stronger than barbarians. In the past, usually when the barbarian army officially fought with a civilized country, it had already been completely destroyed by the long-range coverage of the civilized country.
In short, after refusing to attack King Arthur from a distance, King Sark chose the strategy of rushing directly up the mountain, and ordered to launch an attack to destroy King Arthur when the afternoon sun was no longer hot.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the barbarians' assault on the improvised barracks was launched, and it was only the first impact, and the wooden fence of the barracks was broken through two large openings, and the barbarians rushed in!
Arthur's state at this time is quite bad, the sequelae left by the morning fight have not yet recovered, and his physical strength and spiritual power are barely recovered by relying on the repair ability of the sword in the stone, but it is not enough at all in the case of fewer enemies, Arthur has fought until now, and there is only a line away from the lamp running out.
"Is it going to fail?Is the knight going to be defeated by the barbarians?Is justice going to be defeated by evil?Is civilization going to be defeated by the barbarians?" During the interval between resisting the barbarians, Arthur looked at the sword in the stone that had been covered in blood, and his tone was a little puzzled, "What Mentor Merlin said, where is the victory of the sword in the stone?"
However, Arthur didn't have the energy to think about it anymore, and the barbarians launched another general attack on the camp, and because the camp was broken, some of the barbarians were now slashing Arthur's soldiers in the camp, and most of them were surrounding Arthur with the enemy forces directly in front of Arthur.
In this case, even though the spiritual power has been extremely depleted, Arthur can only use all his strength to squeeze the last vestiges of spiritual power to drive and maintain his realm.
However, the realm of the beast master purple cart level is specially used to make a knight charge formation, Arthur is here to defend this time, and he didn't bring a knight at all, this field can't play the biggest role, what should I do?
Arthur was not the only one violet class present, the barbarian violet level used his own domain to squeeze Arthur's domain crazily, and Arthur's range of action became smaller and smaller.
In desperation, Arthur vainly mobilized the ability of the beast master's domain, spiritual power resonance, seeing this scene, King Sark laughed: "There are no other beast masters here, and he is also separated from his own soldiers, so who is this King Arthur's spiritual power resonance with?"
"Maybe it's resonance with the dead? I heard that this Arthur is a believer who is favored by the god of the sky, so maybe Arthur resonates and the dead man will stand up," the other generals echoed King Sark's joke, and for a moment the tent was full of mockery of Arthur, and then they couldn't laugh anymore.
After the spiritual power resonance was turned on, the sword in the stone was also sensitive, and a trace of golden light particles flew out of the grass, followed by golden light particles like stars, and under the sunset in the evening, it was as beautiful as a vast galaxy.
Arthur sensed the meaning of these particles of light, the living soldiers, the dead soldiers, the innocent townspeople slaughtered by the barbarians, they were all his own people, and now gathered around him by the sword in the stone.
Without much thought, the words as if they were brought from the mother's body reached their lips so easily. Arthur held the sword in the stone high, and the particles of light converged on the sword in the stone, opening a brilliant golden door.
Looking at this gate, the barbarians were stunned, and Arthur's army was stunned, and they all stopped their attacks, staring blankly at this beautiful and unaware sight.
"Oath, victory," Arthur spat out these two words that seemed to be in his mind, and then swung the sword in the stone so softly.
In an instant, the entire Bosolde Mountain was shrouded in light, as if it were day.
