Chapter 32: Joining Forces
Chapter 32: Joining Forces
Carlin stood in the middle of the coalition camp, staring blankly at the moon in the sky, unable to utter a word. He clearly remembered that when he was flying at high speed, the glorious knight named Hart chased after him at a speed three times faster than himself, and then forced himself to the ground with a sword, and the fierce sword aura even interfered with the operation of the magic in his body, so that he could no longer use any magic in a short period of time.
Legend has it that the guardians of the 'Divine City' have a very strange way of cultivating, which seems to be real.
The blood-stained Shapoco sat on the ground in a daze, unable to say a word, he saw that Carlin was almost injured by a few chaotic war horses, so he rushed over to protect him, and then, a glorious knight casually swung a sword, and a dozen small holes were broken in the arrogant Smart knight. Fortunately, the Knight of Glory habitually does not kill people with high enough status, otherwise Shapok would have been killed.
It took a long time for Carlin to ask, "What do you think they will do with us?" ”
Most of his beard had been cut off and his scalp had been scratched off, and he sat on the ground in a daze, muttering in a low voice, "What else can be done, their armor is blessed with the magic of the ancient mage, if they hit the flat ground, it is impossible for our mage to intercept them." Unless we can build a wall out of thin air here, then ... ”
As for Bobkat, who was standing next to him, he looked at the ground with a gloomy face, and his left hand gently stroked the smashed arm on his right, and he couldn't say a word. The commander of the Ritter Empire, whose arm was cut off, was as dead as ashes, and his whole soul didn't know where he flew, and he didn't even notice Carlin's conversation.
Ray carried a spear and rode a horse to the front of the coalition camp, and according to Hart's instructions, Ray was full of internal energy and roared loudly: "Carlin, you come out." ”
Hearing this, Carlin trembled and gritted his teeth, and he slowly walked to the front of the camp with a few knights and a few high-ranking mages. Carlin's delicate face looked a little hideous at the moment, he looked at Thunder, and said in a low voice: "Okay, you have won, what do you want to do?"
Ray gave Carlin a deep look, closed his eyes, and after a long time, he reopened his eyes and said, "I want you to surrender." The nobles among you, after paying a certain ransom, may return to your own kingdom. However, your empire must pay the price for this aggression against our country, and ask your Prime Minister to go to our imperial capital to negotiate. As for your soldiers, they will all become slaves. ”
Shapoco roared frantically: "What?slaves?let the elite soldiers of our six countries become slaves?In the history of war on the mainland, there is no such rule, and those junk recruits are forgotten, do you want our elites to become slaves? No, you can't do that, according to the rules, we can redeem them with money." ”
Ray thought about Hart's words, nodded and said, "We refuse the compensation you paid to the soldiers. We have lost a lot of manpower, especially in the province of Xili, where we need enough labor to restore production, and we need more labor in our mines and lumber yards... Give you a night's time, and tomorrow morning, we will begin our attack. ”
Before the stunned Carlin could reply, Ray had already flapped his horse and ran back towards his own camp. After running more than ten meters, Lei suddenly turned around and drank: "Carlin, don't worry, when we attack tomorrow, you will definitely survive, because, I want to kill you with my own hands, all our generals have already agreed to my request, they will not kill you, but I advise you not to resist, otherwise, they will not mind cutting off one of your arms." ”
Karin's face turned iron blue, he looked at Ray angrily, and then moaned in a low voice: "Come on, come on, I'd rather die than suffer such a shame... I will die with you, no one dares to despise the mages of our Smart Empire. ”
Ray sat on a dirt bag closest to the coalition camp and gently rubbed the tip of the bayonet gun in his hand with a piece of oilcloth. He saw a rush of chaos in the coalition camp, countless soldiers huddled together and discussing something, and the Overseer generals running back and forth, whipping the gathered soldiers with their horsewhips, but it didn't seem to have much effect. Ray couldn't help but admire: "Lomat, this guy is really vicious, but he just wants to kill them all, and as a result, their morale is completely chaotic." ”
Dressed in a light silver armor, Lomat gently walked behind Ray and said with a smile: "My lord, it is the most ideal result to be able to eliminate most of the enemy's combat strength without effort." Lord Hart, they don't want to run into too much resistance tomorrow, so if you threaten to kill them all, those soldiers will be cowardly. ”
Ray nodded, stuck his spear heavily on the dirt ground in front of him, looked at Lomat and asked, "What did you arrange for the soldiers of our division not to rest all night?"
Lomat laughed, sat down next to Ray, and whispered, "I'm preventing a coalition soldier from coming and surrendering." Even if they are the elite of various countries, but now that they are in a desperate situation of certain death, there will definitely be people who will come to our side to waver. Even if I go to the mine to be a slave, it's better than death, right? I arrange for more soldiers to be on duty at night, because I am afraid that there will be too many soldiers who come to surrender and save trouble when the time comes. ”
As soon as the words fell, dozens of black shadows in the coalition camp were already walking towards this side, but immediately, the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air was heard, and then those black shadows fell to the ground screaming, and after struggling for a while, they gradually stopped convulsing.
Lei Meng stood up and looked at the coalition camp in confusion. Lomat's voice sounded faintly: "No way, the role of the Warlord is to execute the soldiers who escaped from the battle, which is the common practice of all countries. The soldiers of our Van Empire rarely run away, so the size of the Overseers in our army is a little smaller, but other countries. ”
Lei was silent for a long time, and then asked a little gloomily: "But, can't they let those soldiers choose for themselves? They are already sure to be annihilated, they can't drag so many soldiers to die together." ”
There was a fierce light in Lomat's eyes, he looked at Ray unceremoniously, and scolded in a low voice: "My lord, change your opinion, in a war, no matter how many people are sacrificed, it is deserved, it is related to the survival of a country... You will be a commander in the future, do you want to kill more people because of a momentary soft-heartedness? If some soldiers do not fight seriously, then they may let the entire defense line collapse, and if they do not kill a few soldiers who affect the morale of the army, how can they govern the army?"
Lei Moran nodded, sat heavily on the ground, and stared blankly at the coalition camp that had returned to dead silence. Lomat looked at Thunder with a solemn face, and suddenly asked, "My lord, if you attack tomorrow, you will... ”
Lei fiercely grasped the barrel of the gun in front of him, and a heavy murderous aura permeated the air, and he whispered: "Of course, I will, I will kill all the soldiers who dare to resist." They also have friends and relatives, and they have their own parents waiting for them at home, but we are enemies, and I must kill a few more of their people in order to have fewer deaths for our own brothers. ”
A smile tugged at the corners of Lomat's mouth, and he nodded slowly, stood up, and walked briskly into the shadows of the tent. Ray still stared blankly at the almost endless coalition camp in front of him, and didn't say a word.
Early in the morning, when the dry autumn wind blew away the faint mist from the field, the Knights of Glory and Thunder's army began to move. Of the nine dense phalanxes, eight belonged to the Knights of Glory and one to Thunder's troops. Each phalanx was filled with a murderous aura that soared into the sky, and within a radius of a hundred miles, surrounded the remnants of the coalition army's 500,000 troops, and 500,000 remnants of the army who had already consumed all their strength in the seven-day and seven-night pursuit.
Hart rode out slowly, urging the fighting spirit, and he let out a thunderous cry: "Surrender, you can live." Whoever resists, kill them all... Last chance, surrender, or die. Hart pulled out his long sword, and then, under the oscillation of the fighting spirit, his long sword emitted a piercing white light, and a dragon's roar resounded through the four fields.
In the camp of the coalition army, someone let out a desperate moan: "Oh my God, this guy is so powerful, oh my God... ”
As if the sword with a glimmer of electric light pointed at the coalition camp, you could see that near Hart's long sword, the air was vibrating with an unpredictable force, and circles of air currents that were clearly visible to the naked eye drifted out in all directions. Hart shouted in a deep voice, "Surrender, or die." ”
Holding his wand tightly, Carlin stood in front of the coalition brigade facing Hart's entire direction, and he shouted, "Come on, the so-called undefeated Knight of Glory, come on, let me see your power... Hah, a decisive battle? So, come on. I, Carlin, will never surrender. ”
Hart's eyes narrowed, and he laughed: "Oh? Absolutely not surrender? Just give up the power and status you enjoy? Just give up your future? Just give up everything you have? Do you give up all the beautiful women you have, the wealth you own, the territory you own?"
Carlin seemed to be like five thunderbolts, and was stunned in place for a moment, yes, he still has a lot of things to cherish, and he can ascend to the throne of the Smart Empire, but... But do you really want to abandon your life here?
Not only Carlin, but all the coalition officers and soldiers who heard Hart's words froze, yes, did he really have to give up everything?
Ray seized the opportunity, and he was the first to rush out with a quick swing of his spear. Jerry laughed and cursed, pulled off the mask on his helmet, and rushed out after Ray. Then, the heavy cavalry of the silver wolf roared out, and the soldiers of the other legions also clashed silently.
Hart smiled and slashed his sword down, and then the phalanx of the Glorious Knights he led was overwhelmingly overwhelmed, and the horses' hooves rushed, and everyone's weapons were raised, glittering in the autumn morning sun.
A gust of wind blew, and the wind and sand in the sky rose, crackling and hitting the armor of the charging knight, and a solemn aura enveloped the entire battlefield. The allied soldiers looked at the Vants soldiers who were charging overwhelmingly with pale faces, and they trembled one by one, where is there still hope of fighting? Their cavalry was almost killed in the battle in the previous few days, where are there still people who resist the opposing cavalry?
With a scream, several frightened coalition soldiers fell to their knees and threw their weapons away. Immediately, their heads were cut off by the officers around them, and then, countless shouts resounded in the coalition brigade, which was nothing more than asking all the soldiers to fight hard, otherwise they would be reprimanded no matter what.
Gradually, the charging team got closer and closer to the coalition brigade, and the magic power in Carlin's body also accumulated to the peak, reaching a state of no vomiting and unhappiness. Not just Carlin, but all the coalition mages are gathering their strength, ready to deliver their final and most powerful blow.
Just when the two sides were about to make contact, a group of men and horses rushed into the battlefield diagonally, and more than a dozen high-ranking knights wearing the armor of the palace guards of the Van Empire roared frantically and desperately: "Stop, stop, by His Majesty's order, everyone stop, don't fight anymore." ”
At the same time as they roared, the glory knights of the three phalanxes had already clashed in front of the coalition forces, their weapons heavily slashed, and thousands of heads had been swept into the air by pillars of blood.
More voices rang out: "On the orders of His Majesty Shagru, the current emperor of the Van Empire, everyone stops attacking, retreats, retreats... ”
Then, a hoarse, senile, and weak voice came from a carriage in that queue: "Attention to the soldiers of the Six-Nation Alliance, you must also stop, don't resist, everyone hold their own positions, don't be impulsive... Stop it... I am Messeau, Chancellor of the Vatican Empire. ”
Hart and the glorious knights were dumbfounded, but on the horse, they seemed to remember something, they quickly turned the horse's head, turned and ran, and at a long distance they gathered together, and then thirteen superior knights rode towards the team.
Ray and the others slowly withdrew in confusion, and then, seeing Messeau, whose face was covered with dust and who had not been washed for several days, staggered out of the carriage, stood where he was, whispered a few words to Hart, and then stuffed a letter to him.
The faces of Hart and the other thirteen high-ranking knights changed color, and they roared loudly in unison: "The 'Divine City' has changed, and the criminals are coming. According to the provisions of the "Peace Convention", the armies of all the countries present were called up by the "Divine City" to defend against the invading enemy. ”
Everyone present was dumbfounded, what is this? If everyone has suddenly become allies now, then what is the purpose of the desperate fighting for more than half a month before?
Lei stared blankly at the frantic cries of the coalition soldiers, and his face was so heavy that he could almost scrape off a layer of frost.
