Chapter Seventy-Six: Surrender

Six hundred feet away from the city, there are three thousand people lined up neatly. Perhaps deliberately to show their contempt for Rocat, the 30,000 longbowmen slowly and methodically inserted the long arrows in front of them, very neatly, three rows of long arrows, each of which was sixty. The white feathers at the tail of the arrow fluttered gently in the morning breeze, like a white reed, light and elegant, but with a strange murderous aura. The 30,000 longbowmen were in good spirits, they had just had a good night's sleep, and they had a warm meal in the morning, which was the peak of the day in terms of spirit and physical strength.

Lei stood a hundred feet behind the longbow formation, and beside him was a dense siege army of 20,000 people, soldiers armed with shields, steel knives, and other hook hands, cloud ladder soldiers, and so on. Squinting at the sun that had just emerged in the east, like an egg yolk, Ray sighed softly: "Are that guy Sauter, and that younger brother of his, captured?"

Jerry held a silver-white spear, nodded lightly when he heard this, and said: "Yes, we have captured a total of 6,793 of their archers, I know you covet them, hehe, I don't fight with you, but, when I return to the imperial capital, you have to invite me to the pink goblin to drink for three days in a row... There's no way you can get them to obey you, can you? Those guys are loyal to their three marshals unless you can get them to surrender to you. ”

Jerry looked at Ray a little gloatingly: "Seeing so many archers who can be called the most elite archers in the mainland, but there is no way to subdue them, Ray, your heart must be itchy?。。。 Alas, seeing that you are so careful to set up an ambush and capture those archers, everyone in the world knows what you want to do. ”

Ray took a heavy sip and glanced at Jerry, "Damn, you're happy, aren't you? Too lazy to talk to you, anyway, I don't believe that the two brothers can hold on with me for how long." Ha, watch my first wave of siege, you are ready, your men are on the second wave. Tell the brothers to be careful, the enemy soldiers in the city say too much, say a lot less, and try not to increase casualties unnecessarily. I want them to conquer this wall with minimal losses. ”

Lomat chuckled in a low voice: "My lord, you have to reduce your losses, and you want everyone to get a chance to play, it's too difficult to do. Ha, we have an army of more than 700,000 people, and it is estimated that as long as we go up to a dozen batches of brothers, it will be enough to kill them, and their defenders are too few. ”

Ray's eyes were stiff for a while, and he drank: "Don't be wordy, give me the order to prepare to act, I want to see how much they are capable of defending this city." ”

Kalubu laughed, he looked at the Cloud City built on the cliff, the total side was no more than seven or eight miles long, looked at its city wall, which was only more than twenty feet high, and raised his big hand high: "Brothers, prepare, attack." ”

The 20,000 besieging army let out a shout and rushed forward in a long formation of fifty. The 30,000 longbowmen drew their longbows at the same time and threw the first wave of arrows diagonally at the walls of Cloud City. A black crushing arrow burst through the air like a group of cheerful elves, chanting a characteristic 'fluttering' sound, and after reaching the highest point they could fly, they fell down again with a cheer.

30,000 specially made long arrows covered the entire wall of Cloud Castle, countless coalition soldiers fell to the ground with screams, and more arrows fell into the city, those simple houses near the city wall could not stop this kind of arrows with powerful penetrating power, the roofs were pierced one after another, and the wounded soldiers of the coalition who were resting inside suddenly let out a terrible howl, as if they were nailed to the ground like dried meat, and the blood instantly stained the entire Cloud City red.

The 'God Butcher' in Inger's hand swayed countless azure filaments of light like flower petals, enveloping a radius of twenty feet. As soon as the arrows that fell one after another approached these blue filaments, they were immediately cut into non-lethal pieces and slowly fell to the ground. Under Ingle's protection, Rocat and Beamon did not need to use their hands, and could easily stand on the city wall and command the defense of the city.

Beamon watched the longbowmen pull the bowstring again, and another batch of arrows burst into the air, and couldn't help but let out an angry roar: "These hateful Vants, they are the archers who bullied us and have no rivals... Fuck, Rocat, why don't you stock up on more bows and arrows here?

Rocat's face was as ugly as it was: "No matter how many bows and arrows I have in reserve, I can't fight against this longbow of theirs, damn Vantes... Brothers, be careful, pay attention. "The sound of the second wave of arrows breaking through the air is already clearly audible.

The more than 3,000 allied soldiers who had just been added to the city wall let out a miserable howl again, the cowhide shields in their hands could not resist this terrible weapon from high altitude, those arrows directly broke through their shields, easily penetrated their bodies, and nailed them to the city wall, and streams of blood flowed out again, and the city wall was full of dead bodies and wounded soldiers.

Before the dragon legion's siege infantry arrived, the longbowmen fired five waves of arrows, and more than 10,000 coalition soldiers fell to the walls. If Jerry hadn't stopped the longbowmen, they would have continued to throw arrows. Looking at Ray with a smug face, Jerry sighed: "Fuck, 150,000 special long arrows, those arrows can be recycled, but those arrow shafts are useless if they are broken, well, the cost of three such long arrows is one silver coin, 50,000 silver coins, that is, 5,000 gold coins, damn, Lei, your captain archer is shooting gold." ”

Lei laughed, shook his head, and said, "Five thousand gold coins, but you see how many enemies have been killed and wounded? At least five or six thousand, right? If we want to rely on infantry to kill and wound so many enemies, we ourselves will have at least two thousand killed, and what is the pension for two thousand? Stupid Jerry, you have to settle this account." ”

Jerry's face suddenly became very strange, and he was called a stupid person by the gorilla Ray? Oh my God, could he really be a stupid person? Jerry said angrily: "I'm a stupid person? Ray, why don't you move your brain? If your longbowmen shoot them all to death, how can we do siege training? Transfer them back, and they will be strictly forbidden to shoot for the next few days, otherwise they will shoot like this, and the defenders of Cloud City will not be able to support it for long." ”

Thunder laughed and snapped his fingers, and the longbowmen of the 30,000-strong phalanx suddenly lined up in a neat line and retreated towards the camp behind. Lei smiled and said, "This is because their city defense is too weak, if it weren't for the fact that they didn't have catapults and crossbows to defend the city, I wouldn't have used them like this." Haha, the Principality Alliance doesn't have magicians, which is also our luck, otherwise how dare I let them stand so close?。。。 Hey, Jerry, I know you're jealous, you think my longbowmen are too good. ”

Jerry secretly made an extremely vulgar gesture, he didn't want to show his rude side in front of the many knights on the scene. He snorted and said, "Less smug, let's see how long they can last." I'm afraid that the first wave of your army will conquer the city, and then it will be troublesome. ”

Lei's face was a little ugly and he looked at the 20,000 berserk dragon warriors he had sent, they had already rushed up the city wall with machetes, and were fighting frantically with the soldiers of the coalition army, those coalition soldiers had already consumed a lot of strength in the continuous rush, and at the same time, their individual combat ability was not as good as the soldiers of the mad dragon legion, they could not resist the attack of these warriors at all. One foot, two feet, three feet, the coalition soldiers on the entire city wall are constantly retreating, retreating, many coalition soldiers have been knocked off the city wall under the vigorous 'side impact' of the dragon knights, letting out a terrible howl.

Jerry's face was ugly, and the current acting captain of the Jaguar Legion, an Imperial Golden Fourth-Order Knight, was also ugly, and they stared at Ray at the same time. Ray smacked his nose a little sneeringly, and laughed: "Ha, this, they are too incompetent, they can't blame me, right? Jerry, you see, they are too incompetent, an attack of 20,000 people will suppress them, and there are still many soldiers who have not climbed up under the city wall, hahahaha, they have no defensive strength at all, this can't be blamed on me." ”

In front of the thousands of high-ranking knights present, Jerry made a fierce gesture of vulgarity, and he shouted loudly: "Damn, this is what you call a rotational siege training? 770,000 troops are waiting for siege training, and you actually sent 20,000 people to conquer the city? What is this? Lei, you said, go back to the imperial capital, how many meals do you have to ask us to make up for the damage you have done to us? Pink goblins, all the generals above the team leader, three days and three nights. ”

Lei calculated for a moment, and their complexions suddenly changed, 770,000 troops, a team is 1,000 people, then the team leader has more than 700 people, plus other division commanders and deputy division commanders, how many people are that? Pink goblin is thousands of gold coins a night, this Jerry is deliberately bankrupt.

Lei shook his head firmly: "No way, don't even think about it, hum, I ordered the withdrawal of troops, the next wave of brothers from the Silver Wolf Legion will attack, I'll see which unlucky ghost will take the city down for me first." ”

Jerry's face suddenly turned ugly, seeing that the defenders of the entire Cloud City had lost any morale, and once his siege team went up, wouldn't he break through the city? Wouldn't it be his turn to treat himself to a treat? However, he can't be so cheeky as Lei, and the army will be transferred back as soon as the army sets off to attack the city, right? Jerry rolled his eyes and began to hum.

When Lomat and Crete were laughing beside them, the dragon soldiers on the city wall suddenly stopped attacking, and slowly and orderly retreated under the city wall, and several high-ranking knights led the team stood at the rear, carefully watching the coalition soldiers who were slowly approaching, until all the dragon soldiers retreated from the city wall, they jumped down. One of the fastest silver knights ran up like arrows, and Ray was already roaring when he was fifty feet away: "Damn, what are you doing? Why do you stop attacking? Are you afraid of death? You cowards, well, are you scared? So, let Lao Tzu teach you what real war is." ”

Ray drew his greatsword and was about to go into battle himself. And the silver knight was already kneeling on the ground, and replied loudly: "My lord, it's not that we want to retreat, but that the enemy uses it... ”

Before he finished speaking, Rokat's gloomy voice came from the other side of the city wall: "General Lei, stop the siege, otherwise, Bikat will be the first to die here." Rocat's face was an abnormal red, and he clutched Bikat in his hand, which had softened into a puddle of mud, and one of the tips of the spear was pressed against his neck, ready to poke a large hole in Bicat's neck.

The more than 200 guards under Bikat and the guards who surrendered with him were also tied with ropes like lambs, and they were pushed to their knees on the ground, and they looked at the boundless Vant's army outside the city with blank faces, and shivered to feel the biting cold air from the cold blade on their necks.

Ray and the others looked at this strange scene on the city wall in amazement, Jerry swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, and smiled bitterly: "Ha, I'm not mistaken, a surrendered dog was used to threaten us and ask us to stop the siege?"

Ray shook his head slightly, walked over and patted the silver knight on the shoulder, motioned for him to get up, and whispered, "Yes, you guys are right, well done, fuck, in this case, I can only order the withdrawal of troops first, despicable Carsonburgers." The silver knight's frightened face immediately returned to normal, and he glanced at Ray with grateful eyes.

Thunder roared loudly, and the rolling sound came: "Haha, Rocat, you are known as the Tiger of Carson, so your tiger relies on this method to survive? Okay, okay, tell me, what do you want us to do? I warn you, don't make too many demands, or you'll die... Bicarter, you're such a damn bastard. ”

The flush on Rocat's face became even stronger, how could he have done such a shameless thing? It was a great insult to his reputation to rely on a dog who had surrendered to the enemy that he despised at all to stop the enemy's attack. He didn't even have the courage to answer Ray's question, and he even thought about whether he should throw Bicarter off the wall and lead his soldiers in a final desperate fight. The figure next to him flickered, and Ingle and Beamon stood firmly against him, and Ingle whispered: "Rocat, things have come to this point, what else can be done? I'd rather choose life. We don't have the strength to resist their attack, and look at it, their first attack of about 20,000 men almost broke through the city. ”

Rokat nodded helplessly, hesitated for a while, and finally said in a dull voice: "General Lei, you let us leave safely, let all the soldiers in the city leave safely, and we will release your Jaguar Legion Captain Bicat." "The last few words, he deliberately raised his voice to say, and under the effect of his strong fighting spirit, the words 'Jaguar Legion Commander Bicat' resounded throughout the battlefield.

With a 'coax', the soldiers of the entire three major legions of Crazy Dragon, Silver Wolf, and Jaguar were in chaos, and they kept asking the people around them about something, and they even heard some soldiers saying in a firm tone: "That's right, that's Lord Bicarter, when I set off from the imperial capital, I took a look at him." Yes, he is the commander of our Jaguar Legion, Lord Bicart, but didn't General Ray say that he was seriously wounded and sent back to the rear for treatment?"

The clamor of the Van soldiers grew louder, and the eyes they cast at Ray began to take on a strange meaning.

Jerry's face changed slightly, and just as he was about to say something, Ray's body had already emitted a dazzling golden light, and then, under the effect of the fighting spirit, he floated high and suspended three hundred feet above the ground. The giant sword in Lei's hand emitted a red firelight, and in the mist of light, a majestic aura enveloped the entire heaven and earth, and the 'Mad King Jue' was fully launched, so that Lei had an emperor-like demeanor, coupled with the strange light in his eyes that could capture people's minds, there were many Vantas soldiers below who could not speak for a while, and they all closed their mouths, and suddenly there was silence between heaven and earth.

Lei once again increased the speed of the flow of the fighting qi in his body, and a huge wind pressure emanated from him, and he obviously saw a cyan wind pattern blowing out around him, making a loud 'whirring' sound, and the momentum was not scary for a while. Thunder's voice sounded like thunder: "Damn it, brothers, the fearless warriors of the Van Empire, we have all been deceived... It turned out that the timid Bicarter, because he was afraid of death, had surrendered to the enemy, and in order to shirk his responsibilities and cover up his sins, he actually sent someone to tell us that he was seriously injured during the attack on Zijin Castle and had to return to the rear to recuperate, and entrusted me with the management of his legion. ”

"Everything, it's a lie, no wonder the Jaguar Legion suffered such a big loss, no wonder the movements of the Jaguar Legion were clearly known by the enemy, everything was his conspiracy. He must have thought that no one would be able to expose him, and that as long as the war was over and he returned to the Empire, he would be rewarded for the Jaguar Legion's hard work. He must have thought that he would be able to cover up his guilt for defecting to the enemy, that he was a bastard who betrayed his warriors in exchange for fame and fortune... Oh my God, how could there be such a person in the Van Empire?"

Ray's tone changed to extreme generosity for a moment, and he shouted: "But, fortunately, these despicable people have turned against him, and our enemies feel that he is no longer useful, so they betrayed the coward Billat, hahahaha, warriors, the conspiracy has been revealed." ”

Ray's flawed words made Jerry and the generals who knew the truth of the matter almost not laugh, but for those warriors who didn't know the details, everything was logical, so it was. Lomat smiled and looked at the thunder suspended in the air, like a god, and said in a low voice: "My lord learns so fast, politics is a lie and deception, well, if he can deceive these 700,000 soldiers today, it will not be difficult to deceive the people of the entire empire in the future." ”

The soldiers were already roaring with rage: "Kill him, kill him, kill this traitor." Countless knives and spears were raised high into the sky. Some warriors who were a little more shrewd and felt that there was some logical disorder in Ray's words, under the influence of their companions around them, forgot the doubts that had just surfaced in their minds for a while, and shouted loudly: "Kill, kill, kill... Kill those damned traitors and avenge our brothers. ”

A grim (smug?) smile hung into the corners of Ray's mouth, he nodded heavily, his body took a sharp turn in the air, and the greatsword pointed at Cloud City, about to give an order. But Ray's heart suddenly chuckled: "Do you really need to go through the trial of the military department to kill Bicart? Am I overstepping my authority?" Ray hesitated a little, after all, he was still a young man who followed the rules in his bones, and he didn't want to break those strange default rules.

A majestic voice rang out: "Bikat betrayed the empire, betrayed his own soldiers, and found out the evidence, and deserved to die... ”

Butters, riding a tall white horse and covered in golden armor, galloped over with five thousand escorts, he pointed to Bicarter and the others on the city wall, and said loudly: "Ray and Jerry, these damn bastards, should be executed immediately, and then their families will be held accountable... I, Butters, have been ordered by Lord Siddock, the Minister of War, to come to the front to help in the battle, willing to lead the invincible warriors of the Empire to break through the fortress of these bastards. ”

Butters' body radiated a pure, sacred white glow, and the gorgeous magic charms on his armor flashed golden brilliance for a while, flying out like a bird, forming a gorgeous magical barrier outside his body. Butters' upright face is now filled with that holy brilliance like the savior of mankind.

A smile appeared on Jerry's face, he was worried that if Ray ordered to break through the city wall and kill Billat, Ray would get into trouble in the future because he completely offended the Walters family, and now with the order of Sydock's son, Butters, a high-ranking military official, then everything will naturally be different. Jerry knows very well that Butters came here to get a little bit of military merit, and to collect Billcat's crime in order to bring down the Walters family so that he can take over the throne of Minister of War in the future.

Jerry hurriedly beckoned Lei to fall and greeted him with a smile on his face. Butters hurriedly put away the fighting spirit on his body, jumped off the war horse with a warm smile, took a few steps forward, held the hands of Ray and Jerry affectionately, and said with a smile: "The two generals have worked hard, this time to pacify the Southeast Duchy Alliance, but the first contribution of the two generals." When I return to the imperial capital, Butters and I must let the ministers of civil and military affairs know about the exploits of the two generals. ”

Jerry smiled and shook Butters' hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Where, where, Lord Butters came to the front line in person and led the army to break through the enemy's last well-defended fortress, which is also a miracle, especially Lord Butters's strength is so clever, the little nephew didn't even know that Uncle Butters was a master in the imperial capital before, hehe... But Uncle Butters, when you return to the Imperial Capital, you can promise Chryo to accompany us to Crescent Lake. Jerry is getting more affectionate the more he screams, but for Butters' age, he should be called uncle.

Butters couldn't help but be happy when he saw Jerry's interest, his big hand added a little more strength, shook it a few times affectionately, and laughed: "That's how it should be, Criso's kid, he should also study hard with his nephew, he can't rely on my relationship, fooling around in the academy all day long, hahaha, if the nephew is willing, I'll let Criosio join the Silver Wolf Army." ”

Ray laughed a few times: "Lord Butters, you see, that traitor Billart is there, and the enemy threatens us with his life to retreat, do you think? How about I send a group of the most elite soldiers to accompany you to attack the city? Of course, Jerry and I will personally lead the army to attack the city." Ray laughed again.

Butters hurriedly laughed: "For traitors, the empire never forgives them, this siege matter, but it is troublesome for the two virtuous nephews... Well, Bicart, if you still have a little bit of Imperial honor, kill yourself. Butters' eyes look at the walls, and there is a murderous look in his eyes. If Bicart commits suicide and dies, he can naturally make up charges against him at will. If you lead someone to attack the city wall and kill him with your own hands, this effect is not enough than Carter's ideal of suicide...

Bicat's face turned pale, and suddenly his thighs trembled, and a stream of fishy urine was already pouring down, and Rokat quickly frowned and pushed him forward.

Ingle frowned and sighed. Beamon instinctively picked up his long stick, knowing in his heart that he might have to fight a bloody battle for the last time. They have no way to retreat, originally Ingle's last plan was to rely on Cloud City to give the Vant Empire the greatest damage, if the Van Empire ordered to retreat, it would be the result of the top, otherwise it would be good to force the Van Empire to recruit the three of them, but who knew that things had evolved to this point, and his subordinate army would not be able to resist the enemy's attack at all, and it would be impossible to deal a heavy blow to the enemy.

Ingle sighed: "It turns out that any plan is useless, and any plan still has to rely on strength to speak." Hehe, if we have such an elite army in front of us, so many troops, hehe... Ingle took a long breath, and the 'God Butcher' suddenly let out a slight chirp, he was ready to fight hard.

Ray, Jerry, and Butters exchanged casual greetings with each other for a while, and in a short period of time, Butters figured it out, and it was Jerry who made Butters understand that Ray and Jerry were firmly against the Walters family, and they also firmly supported Butters to take over the throne of Minister of War, so Butters's smile was more cheerful and sunny, and the eyes that looked at Ray and Jerry were like the eyes of the old bustard in the Qinglou looking at the two noble sons...

In a short period of time, they had already decided that Ray and Jerry would personally lead a large force to destroy the entire Cloud City, and Butters, the middle-aged uncle who had said that he would personally conquer Cloud City, was very politely asked by Ray and Jerry to supervise the battle in the rear. Anyway, his combat exploits will not be lacking at all, and Butters is happy to hide his strength, and it is better to keep his strength to deal with those rival families in the imperial capital than to leak his old bottom on the battlefield in order to save his life.

An army of 50,000 dragons, of which 30,000 were longbowmen, plus 30,000 soldiers of the Silver Wolf Legion and 20,000 soldiers of the Jaguar Legion, a total of 100,000 siege troops slowly marched forward, surrounding the entire Cloud City from three sides. The faces of the Rocats on the city wall turned pale, and they knew that as long as these 100,000 troops began to attack, their only fate would be to be completely trampled into flesh. Even if Rocat, Ingle, and Beamon have terrifying strength that surpasses that of the Golden Fifth Order Knights, but it is only the three of them, where can they fight against the elite legions of the Van Empire and have to attack in turn?

With a 'bang', the longbowmen drew their bowstrings, and Ray stood at the front of the siege team, only three hundred feet away from the city wall, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, boys, draw your bows, shoot all your arrows for me, hahaha, give them a good look at the power of our longbow corps." "Ray is smug, longbowmen, this class can be said to have developed under his own insistence, although the soldiers cannot be easily carried on the march, but the power displayed on the battlefield is really too satisfying for him.

Lei thought with regret: "If Sauter and those archers are willing to obey me and belong to my command, under their leadership, it will only take about two months of hard work, and the lethality of these longbowmen of mine can be increased by two times, right?" After all, for archers, judging the influence of angle and wind direction on arrows is very valuable, and only sharpshooters like Sauter can teach these 30,000 longbowmen well.

The bow slowly lifted, and the arrow was about to be projected again. Rokat on the city wall already sighed softly, he let go of the blue-gray Bicat, tore the rope that bound him casually, and whispered: "You can save your own life, it seems that the official of the Van Empire who just arrived, your own people, is eager to kill you... He's your family's rival, isn't he?"

Bicarter cursed in a low voice, "Damn Butters, you bastard, if I can return to the imperial capital alive, I must pay the price." But Bicarter knew he was not going to make it back alive. He casually touched the ground and picked up an ordinary long sword, he was ready to fight hard... He was ready to help Rocatel and them resist the onslaught of his compatriots, and he was supposed to be standing outside the city walls to direct the attack on Cloud City, just like Ray and Jerry.

The greatsword in Ray's hand was raised high, and he was ready to give the order for the final attack. The greatsword paused in the air for a moment, and was about to fall.

At this moment, the gate of Cloud City suddenly opened, and a thin figure walked out quickly. It could be seen that she was in a hurry, her steps were a little scattered, but she was very determined, and at the same time, her face was full of fine wrinkles, filled with a light that Ray and Jerry couldn't help but turn their heads and didn't dare to face it. This is an old woman wearing a purple silk dress, a dry and stiff vertical collar that covers the entire neck, and a small and withered figure that looks like a dried fruit, but she has a good spirit.

On the city wall, Rokat's spear fell out of his hand and smashed heavily on Bicat's head, knocking Bicater unconscious, and there was a strange 'squeak, squeak' sound in Rocat's throat, and he moaned: "Oh my God, Mother, you... He tried to storm down the walls, but Ingle and Beamon caught him. Beamon scolded in a low voice: "Fuck, Rocat, are you crazy? You go down alone? The power of that thunder is very terrifying, not to mention that there are thousands of golden knights around him, and a single person can kill you with a mouthful of foam." ”

Rokat struggled, but Beamon's brute strength was the strongest among the three, and Ingle's flexible fighting spirit locked his shoulder joints, where could Rokat move for a while?

Lei slowly took a few steps forward, looked at the old woman in front of him who had just reached a little height above his waist, frowned and said, "Old lady, why did you run out? This is the battlefield, you shouldn't be here... Get out of here, and I'll get my brothers out of the way. Looking at this neat and tough old lady, what Lei thought of was his frail old mother, whose ashes had been deeply hidden in the secret room of his study.

The old woman sighed, she took a closer look at Lei, and suddenly laughed: "It turns out that you, the general, are still a child. ”

Gosia's faces all changed, and Gothia, Groot, Crete, and Karub stepped forward at the same time, and two swords and two spears suddenly came together on the old lady's body. The long sword in Lei's hand suddenly swung away, the sword light flashed suddenly, and the four of them were shocked by a huge force, and hurriedly took a few steps back. Ray whispered, "Are you still knights?"

The old lady's face showed a smile, a faint smile, as if she had seen through everything, and she sighed in a low voice: "General, you are about to attack Cloud City, and our Duchy of Fort Carson will also become your territory... We, the nobles, will also lose our land, lose our property, and lose our relatives. For an old man like me, this is a very cruel thing. ”

Jerry came up, he tilted his head, looked at the old lady carefully, and asked, "So, respected old grandmother, what do you need? What do you want to say? Is this Cloud City your territory? Ha, if you persuade your child, if I am not mistaken, your child should be a certain general in the city, you persuade him not to follow that guy from Rocat, if you take refuge in our Van Empire, we will keep your territory, and Your Majesty will have a very heavy reward... After a pause, Jerry added, and with enough courage to convey his words to the city walls, "Our Majesty Shagru of the Van Empire is a kind and generous man, and those who obey us will be rewarded. ”

The old lady laughed: "Oh, funny boy, but my son, he will never betray that little beast of Rocat... Two generals, you don't have to say those words to distract the hearts of the soldiers in the city, they have no morale, once you attack the city, many soldiers will definitely surrender... I'm worried, it's just ... ”

Ray frowned and whispered, "Your son, with the blood of our Van warriors on his hands, he... ”

The old lady interrupted him: "I know that you will not spare an enemy, but I only ask you, for the sake of my age, to show a little mercy, and let me take away what I can take, so that I can continue to live after the fall of the Carsonburg Empire, after the conquest of my children's territory by you... I just need a little possessions, a little bit is enough. ”

Rokat on the city wall, his face had turned dead white, he prayed softly: "God, Mother, my Mother, my dear Mother, your child, I am useless, I have let you suffer such a great insult now, I, can I still be considered a human being? God, why... My mother, you are right, take your most precious jewels with you, so that you and your father can live well for the rest of your life. ”

Rocat's eyes closed, two tears slipped down gently, and a strong killing intent came out of his heart. Kill, kill, if the anger in your heart is the flames of hell, let this flame engulf the whole world, and let yourself kill all the Vaticans in front of you.

Ray was silent for a while, and his heart softened as he looked at the old woman's begging eyes in front of him. He said weakly: "Okay, I promise you, old lady, you can take the property you need, as long as you can bring it, you can take it... All the noble old people in the city, they can take away enough property for their retirement, that's all. But the warriors in the city, unless they surrender to us, they can only fight to the death. ”

The old lady smiled: "Yes, they will not surrender, for the honor of the so-called knights, they will definitely die in battle... Do not mistreat the soldiers who surrender to you, they are the best people ... Thank you, generous generals, and give us a little time. The old lady bowed deeply, then turned and walked back.

Ray sat on the ground with a big face, an indescribable taste. He suddenly raised his head and shouted at Rocat, who was on the city wall, "Hey, Rocat, you are doomed to die, don't you go and help those old people sort out some of their belongings?

Rokat, Ingle, Beamon, and more than a dozen generals of the coalition army, their faces were very ugly, and after a long time, they slowly walked down the city wall.

Lomat, who was beside Ray, frowned, looked at Cloud City thoughtfully, and muttered softly, but he was careful not to let Ray and Jerry hear his questions. After a while, the corners of Lomat's mouth suddenly hung up with that very funny smile, and he said in an extremely subtle voice: "It's really interesting, very interesting old lady, but a set of knight's armor is very heavy, and I can't necessarily carry it." ”

Jerry waved his arm elegantly: "Brothers, get out of the way, let the old people in the city take away what they want to take away, ha, well, if you can take away twenty catties of purple gold, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for three or five lifetimes." Twenty catties of purple gold is not a lot of money. Looking at Ray, who was sitting comfortably on the ground, Jerry also sat down and ordered: "As long as they leave the castle, what they have in their hands is theirs, and you are not allowed to invade and rob." Anyway, having conquered three principalities this time, the bounty will not be less. ”

Standing in front of his mother, Rocat's face suddenly turned purple, and he whispered, "Mother, my God, my mother... And, my father... He hugged an old man who looked like him in the eyebrow, and then hugged his mother.

The old lady smiled, she lightly *** Rocat, and said with a smile: "Oh, my son, they have promised, let me take my most precious treasure, yes, this is what they promised, your father, is also allowed to do this, then, we can let you leave here without damaging your knightly honor." You don't need to surrender, you don't need to promise them anything ... You, my son, are our most precious treasure. ”

Rokat shuddered, and his face turned gray again. Ingle glanced blankly at his parents, and their faces were also the kind of incomparably loving looks, the kind of eyes that made Ingle lose all strength to say a word of disapproval. Inger groaned in a low voice, 'God Butcher', this divine weapon from the ancients, fell to the ground with a 'dang'.

Only Beamon, the rough Beamon, shouted loudly: "No, we can continue to fight, although this departure preserves our honor, but, but, however, we cannot abandon our warriors... Brothers, we can still fight, we can continue to fight. He looked longingly at the nearby coalition soldiers, whose faces were all as ugly as dead, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground one by one.

。。。。。。 。。。。。。 。。。。。。

The city gate opened again, and a group of more than 20 elderly men and women with difficult steps, slowly carrying Rocat, who was fully armored, walked out. For the sake of knighthood, Rokat would never let such a thing happen, but when his parents fell to his knees in front of him, Rocat's psychological defense also collapsed. As long as the Van Empire breaks through Cloud City, Rokat and the top leaders of the Triple Alliance will definitely be killed, and those ordinary generals and soldiers will not be punished too much, so Rokat and their parents will let their children leave here no matter what.

For the sake of the so-called knightly honor, these old men not only carried away their children's strong bodies, but also took away their armor and weapons at the same time, if their armor and weapons fell into the hands of Lei them, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to their honor, just like in the battle of the 'Iron and Blood Castle', the nervous Karin ordered his subordinates to exploit Ray's leather armor... The difference is that Ray at that time did not have any recognition of the so-called chivalry.

Ray, Jerry, Butters, Karubb, Crete, Lomat, Godia, Groot, and countless other Van generals watched this scene in amazement. I don't know where the divine power came out, so that Rocat's mother was able to bear half of her son's weight, and at the same time, she could open her mouth with difficulty, and said with a smile: "General, my son is my most precious treasure... If I lose him, I'll die too. ”

These old men, all their muscles and muscles burst out, and their faces turned into the crimson that seemed to be dying at any time. Slowly, but surely, they walked towards the passage left by the 100,000 siege troops. According to their agreement with Ray, as long as they pass these siege teams, their wealth will be completely theirs.

Some old people were about to lose their support, the armor was so heavy that they could only use their hands to hold on to the protrusions on the armor, and those places were also particularly easy to wear out the skin. As a result, blood flowed down the armor and gently dripped on the black mud ground, like small purple flowers blooming on this field.

Ray looked at Rocat, whose eyes were tightly closed, and tears were constantly falling, and he took another look at the trembling bodies of those old people, who had already urged the last trace of potential in their bodies, moving their children... Except for Beamon's father, who has the same tall and burly figure and a lot of strength, these aristocratic old men are not nobles of the Van Empire, they have no tradition of cultivating martial arts, they are just a group of typical old men who have entered their twilight years and no longer have any physical strength.

Jerry's lips moved, but he didn't speak, he let out a low sigh, slowly stood up, and got out of the way.

Looking at Rocat's mother's determined face, Ray suddenly shouted loudly: "Well, Rocat, you can leave here in this way, because of the love of your parents, and even we have no reason to doubt your observance of the knightly code, you have not broken any of the knightly codes. ”

Rocat's mother turned her head lightly and said lightly: "We forced them to agree to us, so our children have not broken any of the rules of knighthood, and they are still the noblest knights." ”

Ray took a long breath and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, I understand, but Rocat, if you leave like this, then you will never be able to become Carson's Tiger again, in the eyes of the world, even if you still retain all the glory, but you are no longer a powerful commander, an invincible knight." Why did you start a rebellion? for the sake of the princess of Fort Carson? Don't you think that you are stronger than the former Grand Duke and that you can do more? If you leave like this, the three of you will never have a chance to do what you want to do. ”

After sorting out what he wanted to say in his head, Ray continued: "I don't know what you want to do, but I can imagine that you live in the southeast of the Van Empire, and you can only guard this small land, and you are such a powerful warrior, just like a real tiger, a real eagle, a real leopard, you need bigger mountains and forests, wider skies, and more vast grasslands... But if you leave like this, you will be a small landowner in the countryside at most, and you will have no way out. ”

Rocat, Ingle, and Beamon's eyes snapped open, and their bodies were standing on the ground at once. The parents of all three of them exclaimed in despair: "No... A piercing hatred, like the strongest murderous aura, surged towards Lei from the bodies of the six old men, forcing Lei to take a step back.

Ray roared loudly: "Come, three of you, come out and duel with me." If you win, you are the captain of the dragon legion that has defeated the Van Empire, and you can leave here with the soldiers of the city like a true warrior... If you lose, then swear allegiance to me. Instead of killing you, let's have a few more valiant generals in our Van Empire. ”

Ingle said gloomily, "Are you loyal to you? Are you capable of protecting us? We have killed so many Jaguar soldiers, we... ”

Butters smiled weirdly, "Of course, General Ray is absolutely capable of protecting you, as long as you agree to his terms, I swear in the honor of all members of our family, you will get everything that General Ray promises." If you are loyal to General Lei, you need not be afraid of anything as long as you accuse that damned traitor in the military headquarters of the Van Empire. ”

Beamon said in a gruff voice, "Why should I trust your promises?"

Butters smiled, "Just because my father is Siddock, the head of the Van Empire's military headquarters. With the prestige of our Karlslot family in the thousands of years of the empire's history, everything I say has divine potency, and you still don't believe me?。。。 My family's reputation will never be tarnished, and I will never do anything that is sorry for my family. ”

Ray took a step forward gently, and he pointed to the countless Vat soldiers nearby and said, "Look, if you defeat me, our soldiers will let you go as if you were a true warrior, instead of being weak like you and leaving here under the protection of your parents... If you lose, then, think about it, with invincible soldiers like our subordinates, don't you think you have more opportunities to fulfill your dreams?"

Lei smiled gloomily: "Use the entire continent as your stage, you can make the entire continent realize your strength." Duel me like a true warrior. ”

Countless Vat soldiers let out a soft 'hehe' sound, and gradually, the sound became louder and louder, as if urging something.

Rocat, Ingle, and Beamon were excited, yes, if they win, they would have a chance to start over, even if they lost, their allegiance to Ray was in accordance with the rules of knighthood, their reputation was not damaged in any way, and the other knights would only praise them for their respect for their promises. What's more, with the invincible legion of the Vat Empire as their subordinates, isn't this their biggest dream? Think about it, they can lead such a legion to wantonly conquer the entire continent...

Stopping the impulsiveness of Beamon and Ingle, who was the most powerful of the three, Rokat waved his double-ended spear, walked up gently, and said softly: "Then, respected General Lei, please give me a lot of advice... The conditions you offered, we really can't refuse... Then, on behalf of the three of us, I challenge you, and if you can defeat me, you will be able to gain the allegiance of the three of us, as well as all of our subordinates. ”

Ray laughed, his figure floated high, and the golden light spread all over half of the battlefield, and he laughed: "Hahahaha, come on, come on, Rokat... Come on, Carson Tiger. ”

。。。

Three days later, with a large swollen circle under his eyes, a bandage on his chest, and a little difficult to move, Lei sat triumphantly on his horse, looking at the road leading to the Furious War City in front of him. He grinned widely, his saliva almost flowed out, listen carefully, and you can hear his grunt: "Hahahaha, thirteen thousand archers, it's sent, this time, it's still Rocat's face, that bastard of Sauter has finally taken refuge in me, hahaha, in two months, my longbowmen can increase their combat effectiveness by three times... ”

Jerry looked at Ray a little angrily, and he muttered, "Damn, I know that the thirteen thousand archers, why don't you say that the three of them are loyal to you, it's a bigger wealth." Damn, three fierce generals whose strength exceeds that of the Golden Fifth Order Knight, you kid is hairy, well, pink goblin, half a month. ”

Lei suddenly came to his senses: "No way, you don't have to think about it, three days at most, hum... ”

Jerry hurriedly changed the subject: "Hahaha, we can discuss this slowly, but Ray, aren't you afraid that they will betray you then?"

Ray shook his head firmly: "No, if it was Bicarter's idiot who swore allegiance to me, I would never believe his words, but if it was the three of them, all three of them were real warriors, and the oath made by the real warrior would never be invalidated." Hehe, what if the three of them betrayed me? What I need anyway are those archers from Rokat, and when I get to the imperial capital, I will break up those archers and divide them, haha, I even ordered their families to migrate to the interior of the empire, and I am still afraid that they will betray me when the time comes? If I say that the generals, with Karub and them, there is no shortage of generals under my command. ”

Jerry shook his head and sighed wordlessly, very sorry that the three of them were not worth it. Jerry muttered in his heart: "Ray, you are really a big idiot, Karubb's strength is probably not as good as Beamon, and the other generals under you, except for Lomat's head and Ingle can be compared, Crete, Yasuo, Meate, Kuhn, who can compare with Carson's Tiger Rocat? The Jaguar Legion, but they used such a garbage army to clean up 130,000 people. ”

Jerry glanced at Ray very jealously, and muttered in a low voice: "Damn, if only the knight who swore allegiance could also be loyal to another family, give me Rocat, otherwise Ingle can too, it's really not good, and that guy Beamon can do it too... Facing the enemy, I'm afraid I'm not Beamon's opponent yet. ”

Ray was still giggling there, his big eyes glancing over the slender, powerful, eagle-like archers of Fort Carson in light green tights.

Five hundred feet behind them, Butters looked triumphantly at Bicart, who was locked in the cage, smiled and gently tapped Bicart's scarred body with a twig, and said with a low sneer: "My dear Bicatter, in terms of seniority, I am still your uncle, really, your Walters family, this time you will be miserable, but I will take good care of your family, I promise, when you are executed, many people in your family will accompany you." ”

Butters's eyes flashed with murderous aura, and he said ruthlessly: "Actually competing with me for power, don't you Walters family know how to write the word dead? Hmph, I thought that if you lost 10,000 people, you could take the opportunity to hit your family's arrogance, who knows, cute little nephew, you actually betrayed the empire, didn't this do me a great favor? ”

Just when everyone had their own thoughts, Lei and they gradually approached the imperial capital of the Vant Empire... Accompanying them, in addition to the archers who surrendered to the Duchy of Carsonburg, was the broken Jaguar Legion. The two legions of the dragon and the silver wolf have been ordered by Butters to go to the secret camp in the province of Xili. When Ray and Jerry returned to the imperial capital to report on their duties, they were about to take people to Xili Province, preparing to take advantage of the turmoil on the mainland to fight for the greatest benefits for the Van Empire.

The Bicester Empire in the north, Bobkat led 150,000 rebuilt iron horses, under the leadership of 30,000 Van Guards, set off all the way, this time, they reached a secret agreement with the Van Empire, ready to go south, for the Van Empire, but also for the Bicester Empire, to plunder the territory...
