Chapter 63: The Army of a Foreign Country
"Hey! Let's hey~! ”
The barbarians besieging the palace were still wild and unchanging, although they were dressed in bright armor.
Together, they stamped their feet rhythmically, roaring the most popular war cry in the tribe at the moment, and gazing with admiration at the behemoths that were slowly moving through the streets.
It was a war machine designed by the Great Protector of the Kingdom himself, and it required as many as twenty extraordinary barbarians and one hundred and fifty elite barbarian warriors to push through the siege of the city.
As soon as this huge rushing car appeared on the street corner, it occupied most of the avenue of the royal capital, making the guards of the palace walls turn pale one by one.
"What a big rush! It's as good as the gates of the royal palace! The guards were amazed and frightened.
The morale that had just recovered a little because the terror giant had turned around and left the royal capital was shaken again.
Many of the officers and soldiers of the Pro-Guard Army were already desperate, secretly saying that they would die here.
Even so, none of them escaped.
The people who can be personal guards are all the sons of the Yanan family, and they have no reason to betray the Grand Duke of Yanan, whether in terms of identity or emotion.
In the end, repaying their kindness with death is their only choice!
"Shoot!" On the city wall, watching the approaching chariots, the guards pulled up their longbows and shot.
The arrow flew out, striking the skin of the rushing car with a clanging sound before ricocheting off.
"That skin is forged from steel!"
"Damn, where did those barbarians get so much steel!"
"Use the ballista!"
The guards pushed up the ballista, and after reloading, it shot a projectile the size of a football.
This is specifically designed to destroy siege machines, and with enough kinetic energy that it can smash the main structure of those machines in one fell swoop.
Of course...... Under normal circumstances, the main body of the war machine is mostly wooden.
The projectile smashed right in front of the rushing car and sank in with a clatter.
Then the guards on the city wall saw that inside the cracked skin were layers of moist cotton that was extremely tightly pressed.
The projectile quickly jammed and could not move.
"Archery is useless, ballistas are useless...... When it's over, we can't stop it from approaching! One of the ballista guards stood up and muttered to himself.
"Ahh The guard suddenly screamed, but as the siege engines approached, the barbarians began to attack.
A throwing axe spun and flew over, hitting the unfortunate guard in the chest directly, and the huge impact sent him straight out of the city wall.
"Hey, hey!"
After barely rushing into the doorway of the palace wall, the extraordinary savages pulled the huge ram in the car with all their might.
On the wood of the two men, which was more than ten years thick, was a hammer made entirely of iron.
In the hearts of the barbarians, such a solid iron hammer is really extravagant to be used as a battering ram, but they don't know that this is a siege artifact in their eyes......
Hehe, in fact, it is the old hammer that Xiao Yu took in the utility room that has not been used for a long time, and it has been slightly transformed, and the cost is almost zero.
The old hammer, after a vigorous swing, rushed towards the gates of the palace.
Rumble!
Under the loud noise, the gate of the palace was not as strong as the king's capital, which was reinforced with iron and various kinds of reinforcement, and it shook violently directly.
Rumble!
Soon it's another time! This time, the palace gate was directly knocked out of a hole.
The barbarians were even more excited, and most of them shouted slogans gathered on the left and right of the rushing car and even on the top of the skin, waiting for the moment when the hole would open.
"Quick! Array! ”
The guards at the gate of the city also mobilized the last of their strength to form a tight phalanx, raised their shields, and erected their spears to wait for the barbarians to attack.
Rumble!
"Let's smack~ For the son of God!"
The gate fell overwhelmed, and hundreds of barbarians rushed in like a black flood into the palace.
Swish!
All the guards raised their spears in unison and clenched the shields in their hands.
"It's all about loyalty!"
"In the name of Yanan, fight to the death!"
Under the shouting of killing, the two sides began to collide with iron and iron, blood and flesh.
Outside the royal capital, Xiao Yu was eating a piece of back pot meat while listening to the live commentary of the battle of the palace that Ainodia on his shoulder conducted.
......After swallowing the food in his mouth, Xiao Yu coughed and said, "Does it mean that the palace has been successfully killed?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Ainodia bowed slightly: "According to the report of the elders commanded by the barbarians at the scene, they have easily dealt with the defenders of the palace, are searching for rebellions, and are protecting important buildings from destruction. ”
"Good." Xiao Yu said: "Speaking of which, why is there so many arsonists in this king?" Didn't there often be bad things about Grand Duke Yanan's spies in the past? ”
"Your Highness, this is the royal capital." Ainodia said, "Where do the agents dare to burn? Everywhere there may be strong people belonging to other forces staring, going to the slums? That's not valuable. ”
"As for Grand Duke Yanan's own treasury, speaking of which, for this confrontation with His Highness, it is already extremely empty."
"Is that so?" Xiao Yu frowned slightly, it seems that the harvest of the royal capital may not be much.
Immediately, Xiao Yu stretched his brows again: "Hey, what do I think, with the population and trade routes of the royal capital, won't I be able to make a lot of money immediately with my materials?" And all I need is the knowledge of the royal capital and the buildings and people that can make me better understand my attributes! ”
These things are the biggest gain of this battle!
Xiao Yu, who was thinking about the future, suddenly came back to his senses and heard Ainodia's voice.
"Huh? Did you find that Grand Duke Yanan and the others had escaped from the tunnels of the palace? Xiao Yu said: "And then the barbarians chased after him?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness, thirty transcendent barbarians lead the team, more than a thousand elite barbarian warriors." Enodia thought for a moment and said, "At best, there are five or six transcendent knights under the command of Grand Duke Yanan to follow him, and there will not be a single wizard, so I think it is nine out of ten." ”
"Really?" Xiao Yu felt that it was not that simple, but it was good to let those barbarians explore the way, as long as there were no problems on his side, he could deal with it at any time by all means of the other party!
The barbarians pursued and killed Grand Duke Yanan all the way, and encountered seven or eight waves of enemies in a row in the long tunnel, desperately blocking them.
However, in the face of the absolute disparity in strength, these are just futile struggles.
The barbarian elder followed behind the transcendent barbarians, watching them once again slash down the red-eyed enemies who seemed to be mad against themselves and the others.
A hint of uneasiness wrapped around his chest.
Fortunately, just when the barbarian elder wanted everyone to wait first, the extraordinary barbarians saw a bright light appear in front of them.
The tunnel exit has finally arrived!
"It's really a long tunnel, this is out of the royal capital."
"It's definitely out, but I don't know which direction." The transcendent barbarians grunted unconcerned and took the lead in crawling out.
The rest of the barbarians had no choice but to leave the tunnel.
As soon as the barbarian elder came out of the tunnel, he noticed that he and the others had arrived at a basin.
They are located at the bottom of the basin, surrounded by mountain walls up to five or six hundred meters high, and the exit is a mountain road that winds up in the distance except for the tunnel.
"It's ...... Jedi! "Even the barbarian elders don't know much about how well they can read, and they feel that the terrain is quite unkind to themselves and others.
Moreover, there seems to be a layer of mist around to give people an unreal feeling, and with the emptiness, it is no wonder that even the extraordinary barbarians have to stop for a while.
"Something is wrong, this is wrong!"
"Inform the Protector!"
Just as the Barbarian Elder connected with Ainodia and started talking.
Suddenly, the mountains shook, and then the barbarians found that the tunnel entrance was hidden in the dirt.
At the same time the mist dispersed.
In front of the basin, tens of thousands of well-armoured and disciplined steel armies appeared.
This legion was like a rainbow, and surrounded the barbarians in a half-moon formation.
With the legion's commander waving his hand.
Tens of thousands of longbows unleashed sharp arrows in unison, striking the barbarians like a storm!
"Oh God!"
"We're in an ambush!" The barbarian elder shouted, "Their banner...... It's a golden lion on a red background! ”
"Oh my God! It is the banner of the Kingdom of Filan, the land of knights! ”
"They...... It's a foreign army! ”
