Chapter 26: The Siege I
When night fell, the weary Van army stopped the pursuit and set up camp on the spot. Even if it is the elite of several legions such as Storm Lion, Silver Wolf, and Flying Phoenix, they can't stand the Glory Knight's pursuit day and night. The legs are numb, the hands are stiff, the brains are confused, and there seems to be an old bellows in the chest that is desperately fanning, and the hot air with the smell of blood is spurting out of the throat, so uncomfortable.
Bobkat was thrown into a tent by several silver wolf soldiers, and there were just a few small sharp stones on the ground, and Bobkat's huge body smashed heavily on those stones, which made him grin in pain, and the fire in his heart rose up. However, he himself knew very well that it was a good thing that these silver wolf soldiers did not deliberately invite themselves to a meal of old fists, so naturally he did not need to expect them to be careful about the feeling of their hips.
Indignantly watching the silver wolf soldiers walk out of the tent, Bobkat's waist twisted, and he quickly sat up. With both hands behind him, Bobkat found himself helpless and desperate to find that he could not break free from the rope that bound him. I don't know what material those glorious knights made of this rope, it is extremely elastic and tough, and Rao Bobkat can't break it with the strength of his arm that can tear a bull alive.
Helplessly, he sighed to the sky, and Bobkat fell to the ground on his side. According to the rules of the mainland, these guys from the Van Empire will not kill themselves as royals, they will exchange themselves for a huge amount of money, land, etc. Although it is a great humiliation, as long as you live, you will one day take revenge on these damned Vaticans. Glory Knight... Damn, it's not embarrassing to be defeated at their hands, and there are few people on the entire continent who dare to fight the monsters of the 'Divine City'.
Ray walked around the camp for a while, and after carefully arranging the rest, food, etc. of his subordinate soldiers with a few personal guards, he asked in a low voice: "Which tent is that damn Bobkat in?" Jerry not far away frowned, but he thought about it, did not speak, but walked in another direction with his subordinate generals. Ray looked at Jerry's back, a smile on his lips.
The captain of Lei's personal guard, a golden fifth-order knight from a wealthy family in the imperial capital, had a fierce glint in his eyes, and replied in a low voice: "My lord, that guy is in the thirteenth tent on the right-hand side. Do we want us to teach him a good lesson? Or if we give him some mutilation, no one can say that we did it, and then we will say that he was injured on the battlefield. ”
Looking at the vast plains to the south, Ray shook his head gently. He said in a low voice, "I just want to see him." He's a captive of Master Hart, and I'm not going to deal with him in this situation. Besides, Lord Gaddafi said that we have to be very polite to Prince Bobkaat as a royal family, don't we? Jerry told me that maybe in a few decades that guy takes over the throne of Bicester, and we will be allies. ”
Ray sneered a few times, waved his hand and motioned to a few silver wolf soldiers to bring a barbecue dead horse leg, and walked towards the tent where Bobkat was located. The Silver Wolf Knights, who hated Bobkaat to the extreme, silently followed Ray, blocking the way for others to approach the tents.
Bobkat's eyes glowed a faint green inside the tent, like a beast in the desert. And what was revealed in his eyes was also the kind of frustrated beast, that unyielding, tyrannical look.
Ray lifted the curtain of the tent and bowed his head into the tent. Bobkat's eyes suddenly shot out two extremely ferocious rays of light, like two arrows of light, and he said in a low voice, "It's you, boy... I remember you, you were the one who secretly attacked us so many times, and you avoided the decisive battle I asked for without the slightest dignity, you coward, you bastard, you lucky little bastard. ”
Ray threw the leg of the barbecue horse on the ground and sneered: "Oh, am I a lucky villain? Dear Prince, if you talk about luck, who is better between me or you? I was born into an ordinary civilian family, and you? You were born to be a prince, you were born with countless people running for your fate, you can enjoy everything, you can easily get the strength that we need to work hard to get. Let's compare, compared to me, who was promoted to the rank of division commander after a bloody battle, whose luck is it?"
Bobkat stopped talking, leaned his head sullenly, and bit down on the horse's leg. His head swayed, and he tore off a piece of horse meat and chewed it heavily.
Ray's eyes had adjusted to the darkness inside the tent, and he could see Bobkat's movements clearly by taking advantage of the faint light of the fire coming in from outside. He whispered, "Well, dear prince, aren't you afraid that I will poison the horse's leg?"
Bobkaat replied vaguely, "Poisoning? You can kill me at any time now, what are you poisoning for?"
Ray took a few steps closer, slowly squatted down, looked at the gobbling Bobkat, nodded and said, "Yes, I don't need to poison it." I swear to me, I'm going to kill you with my own hands. Dear Prince... It's great that you can maintain such a strong appetite, and I beg you to take good care of your body and take good care of yourself. Your life is mine, remember, your life belongs to me, and when I have enough strength, I will come and take your head. ”
Ray slowly stood up and slowly retreated towards the door of the tent.
Bobkat stopped tearing and looked up and said, "I swore that I would kill you with my own hands." We are each other, each other ... Take care of yourself, damn boy. You, the commander of the weak division, the unruly silver first-order knight, I hope you can survive until after this great battle. I'll be waiting for you when I get back to the Bicester Empire. If you can bring your troops here, I'll kill you on the battlefield. ”
Ray chuckled softly, "Of course, I will definitely go, I swear, one day, I will take my own legion to you Bicester." Don't worry if I'll survive this war, our Knights of Glory have already hunted down to the central part of the province of Siri, three days longer than we do. Your million-strong coalition forces have no power to resist, and the second batch of reinforcements sent by several of your allies has been dispersed, and you have no hope of winning. ”
Ray walked out of the tent gently, and Bobkat cursed frantically in the tent: "Damn Vant, you damn villains, you bastards who broke the peace treaty on the mainland, you actually mobilized the Knights of Glory, damn it, if the beast soul warriors of the Bicester Empire were here, you would have been killed a long time ago." ”
Bobkaat cursed, and suddenly changed his words loudly: "Damn, I'm waiting for you, boy, I'm waiting for you to bring someone to kill me." Hahahaha, wait, when I return to the Bicester Empire, I will train a more powerful group of iron horsemen waiting for you. Boy called Ray, I remember you, and you must remember me too. I'm waiting for you, haha. ”
Jerry walked out of the shadows of a tent with the light of a cat, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't give him any hardship?"
Ray shook his head.
Jerry smiled and nodded, patted Ray lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Very good, then, I can tell you the first knight's commandment, never insult your captives, it is strictly forbidden to abuse your own captives, this is the most basic rule of knights." ”
Lei smiled dumbly and asked in a low voice, "The first rule makes me feel a little strange." ”
Jerry seemed to think of something, laughed and punched hard, and whispered, "Damn, I know what you're trying to say, but this kind of rule is very normal." The mainland has been fighting for many years, and no one dares to guarantee that they will not be captured by the enemy. So, for the sake of their own safety, simply make such a rule, anyway, it is strictly forbidden for knights to abuse each other, as for ordinary soldiers... If they are captured, then they should also be sent to the mines, there is no need to make any rules for them. ”
Ray was silent for a while, and then whispered, "Then, if I want to kill an enemy knight, I must... ”
Jerry nodded slowly: "He must be killed on the frontal battlefield." If you use a ruse to capture him and then execute him, then you will be stripped of all honors and titles by the emperor of your own country, unless you are the head of a powerful family, and you can use money to atone for your mistakes. You see, killing the other side on a frontal battlefield is the only way. ”
Ray let out a long sigh: "******, is it still possible to kill Karin in a head-to-head battle, kill Bobkat... ”
Jerry nodded helplessly: "However, they have too few people in the Bicester Empire, and one day, our army will crush their entire empire... According to the custom of war, if a country is destroyed, then all members of its royal family are killed. Although there is no precedent in history for the destruction of a great empire, we can always start with it. Jerry's heart also appeared in the scene of Wei being cut off by Bobcut's head, and suddenly there was a fierce light in his eyes.
Ray nodded heavily, yes, there will always be this opportunity to destroy the Bicester Empire.
Jerry stretched and muttered, "Okay, after running behind the Glory Knight's group of masters for three days and four nights, I can finally have a good rest today." It's really strange, how can their bodies withstand such terrible consumption, my fighting energy is almost exhausted, alas. ”
Lei also nodded with deep feelings: "They are simply not human, they can hunt down and kill others without sleeping, eating or drinking for days in a row, oh my God, I can't." ”
The two were working together to get a bite to eat by the campfire, when Gaddafi was already waving his machete and rushing towards him like a whirlwind. He quacked and shouted: "The army is all set off, hurry up and set off overnight, damn, move quickly, don't rest, get up for Lao Tzu, hurry, hurry, hurry... The Knights of Glory have blocked the coalition forces in Hornhorn, and now it's up to us to cooperate with the siege. Brothers, arise ... Haha, they've been attacking our walls for so long, and now it's our turn. ”
Ray and Jerry looked at each other dumbfounded, the Glory Knight is too terrifying, isn't it? It's not enough to chase people for hundreds of miles, and now they have forced the allied forces of others into a city, what is this called?
Jerry suddenly roared frantically: "The whole army set off, hurry, hurry, hurry, order those officials who passed along the way, those officials in the former provinces to be quickly reinstated, and ask them to organize manpower and materials to make siege equipment, the sooner the better... I want a map of the vicinity of Hornhorn, the most detailed map, get me it soon. ”
Ray didn't know how to cooperate with Jerry's order, so he had to do his job, which was to rush into the tent, kick and beat the exhausted fallen soldiers, form them into a line, and roll away to the southwest.
In the council hall of Hornhorn, which originally belonged to its lord, an Earl of Vant, Carlin had a gloomy face, bearing the accusations and attacks from some important allies.
The crown prince of the Wright Empire's original flowing hair was wet with cold sweat, a few strands of hair were awkwardly pasted in front of his forehead, and the pupils that were originally divine had begun to expand, and the sluggish Carlin burst out of his mouth word by word curse to Carlin: "Damn, you know what you're doing? You actually bypassed me, you actually bypassed me, you actually bypassed me, the supreme commander of the Wright Empire, you actually ordered my legion to follow you to this damn city? Do you want to kill us?"
Carlin let out a long breath, and then waved his hand, and Wright Empire's commander Wright immediately motioned for several golden knights to come over and pulled the prince of Wright Empire half-forcibly and half-supportively.
The prince roared frantically: "Wrightst, you dare to ask someone to coerce me? I... I... I'm going to destroy you, damn it, you, I'm the crown prince of Wright's empire. ”
As his voice faded away, Karin's complexion softened slightly, and he bowed his head to Shatra Lamu, "High Priest, what is your opinion? Do you also think that my battle plan is unreasonable? Or, Master Mage of the Dak Empire, do you have any doubts about my plan?"
The mage leader of the Darker Empire silently looked at Saudi Arabia, and after seeing Saudi Arabia's expressionless face, he gently retreated into a shadow, and then, a soft voice came out of the darkness: "Since the generals of our coalition have approved your battle plan, Lord Karin, we can only obey unconditionally... However, I hope your plan is correct, otherwise, you will face a very dire consequences. ”
Carlin pursed his lips disdainfully and whispered, "The Dark Temple doesn't scare me, my dear... Well, now that you've approved of my plan, I have to stress that if we continue to be hunted down by the Glory Knights, then we will fall into a point where we will never recover, and they will slowly kill us one by one. We must occupy a strong stronghold, and we must rely on our army of mages to stand on the walls and let their powerful magic stop those terrible knights from hunting us down. ”
Shapoko nodded, his eyes radiating a fierce light, and after glancing at the allied generals, he said heavily: "We never thought that those troops in the 'Divine City' would be such a terrible existence, but since we have already faced them, we must use all means to save our lives." ”
"Lord Shapoko is right, we have no other choice, we must do everything we can to save our lives. You should remember that God's decree to the armies stationed in the City of God was to kill all the enemies and never leave them alive... And we are their enemies now, so let's not talk nonsense for the glory of the empire, let's be practical, for our own lives, for us to be able to return home alive to enjoy our power and status, everyone... Please. ”
"I see that some high-ranking knights are very unimpressed with our words, I can understand your thoughts, I know, I understand, I can read your thoughts, your honor does not allow you to admit that you are afraid of an enemy. But, I ****** no matter what, put aside the decency and honor of our nobles, we must admit that we are afraid of the Glory Knights, and we do not even dare to organize a group of people to face them head-on. So, we must rely on Hornhorn City to fight them, otherwise we will not have a chance to return home alive. ”
A knight of Dark, who was wearing a golden fifth-order knight's battle armor, suddenly shouted angrily: "You bastards, are you really not... ”
Without him a chance to speak, the commander of the Darker Empire drew his long sword and sent it into his heart from behind, and then, he easily put the sword back into its sheath and said indifferently: "Lord Karin, don't pay attention to these things that don't know what to do, I think, you can order a specific battle plan." ”
Carlin nodded in satisfaction, a smile on his lips. He smiled and said, "Very good, really good, as long as everyone can really and seriously carry out my plan, I promise, we can go back alive... To tell you the truth, even as a Diamond Dragon Seventh-Order Mage, I am definitely not sure that I can escape from the Glory Knight's flying body slash. So, for the sake of our own destiny, Carlin is here to ask everyone to work hard. ”
All of the coalition forces present nodded silently in agreement with Carlin's statement. The remaining generals were experienced enough to know that if they did not resist and let the Knights of Glory kill them behind them, they would die without a place to die. It must, definitely, need a strong stronghold that can resist those terrible enemies, and Carlin bypassed the fleeing mage leaders and royalty of various countries, and secretly proposed to them such a Jedi survival plan.
Carlin lightly tapped on the defense map of Hornhorn City, and said in a deep voice, "Then, I'm welcome, everyone listen well." Horn City is the acropolis used by the province of Xili to defend the capital of the province, the main function is war, so the city is very strong, even if they are the knights of glory, it is impossible to destroy our walls in a very short time, what we have to do is to concentrate the power of all our mages, as much as possible to use large-scale lethal magic against those knights of glory. ”
Sha Boke added: "The knights of the lowest rank of the Glory Knight all possess the super strength of the Golden Fifth Order. But everyone must recognize this problem, even if we are the Golden Fifth Order, we don't dare to withstand the bombardment of a high-level mage, so the chance of us defeating them is very high. ”
The generals present became excited, yes, the Glory Knight is indeed terrifying, but the soldiers in their knights, aren't they all the strength of the Golden Fifth Order? At most, they are the best of the Golden Fifth Order, but after all, they are still human beings, they are not the legendary paladins after all, and it is impossible for them not to be afraid of the attack of organized magic.
Carlin clearly saw the psychological changes of the generals present, and knew that they had raised the spirit of resistance, and he couldn't help but feel light. He smiled: "Well, then, with our Smart Empire's elemental mages as the main force of the attack, the Judgment Mage of the Rit Empire as the countering force for the attack, and the mages of the Darkk Empire issuing harassing dark spells. The mages of the Levle Empire blessed all the attacking mages with life regeneration magic, the mages of the Wright Empire... I know they can regenerate the mana of other mages very quickly, so when our mages cast powerful attack spells, the mana consumed is up to them. ”
The high-ranking knights present from the Bicester Empire watched their allies' performances expressionlessly.
Carlin was keenly aware of this, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, and whispered, "Of course, we must defeat the Glory Knight in order to save our Prince Bobkat." So, I need an iron army that dares to rush out and attack the Knights of Glory when their formations are confused by magical attacks. ”
Zaruka, the supreme general of the Bicester Iron Cavalry, who was more than a punch shorter than Bobkat, shouted: "Okay, that's it, we'll rush out and teach those bastards a lesson." ”
A wicked smile tugged at the corners of Karin's mouth, but he immediately restrained his facial expression and nodded with a smile.
The thirteen high-ranking knights of the Glory Knight led the subordinate grand knights and high-ranking knights to slowly ride their horses to the foot of the horn city.
Hart frowned, glanced deeply at the hundred-foot-high city wall in front of him, waved his hand lightly, and ordered, "Brothers, you can rest... Take a day off and wait for the infantry in the rear to arrive, brothers have worked hard these days. ”
Faintly scorching, on the head of Horn City, one by one black-robed mages slowly appeared......
