Section 276 The Great Victory and the Return (1)
There was a faint light in the room, and it seemed that the castle keeper had not rested, and Moon Shadow didn't bother to knock on the door, and the sword light flashed, and the bolt of the door had been silently cut.
Billydes was fifty years old, his hair was meticulously combed at the back of his head, and it was slightly glowing because of the wax on it, and although he was quite strong, he was already a little fat, and when Moon Shadow pushed the door in, he also turned his head vigilantly, and his hand was already reaching for the hilt of his sword.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be moving."
Moon Shadow said with a smile, and the person sat down on the empty chair next to the table in such a dashing manner, Billydes hesitated, and finally left the long sword on the table---- of course, not persuaded by Moon Shadow, but because among the four guards who came in later, two crossbows were aimed at him, and the crossbow bolts on them were demon-breaking arrows that specialized in breaking fighting spirit and magic.
In any case, force is always the most powerful language of criticism, and Billydis, whose face changed dramatically like a chameleon, leaned back in his chair with the strength to lean limply.
"Who are you?"
Count Billidis looked at the girl with a smile on his face, his gaze involuntarily swept over the intermediate mage badge hanging on the robe of Moon Shadow, and his heart couldn't help but sink ----Necromancer?
"Alice. Count Warren, lord of Hawaii Island in the Dresses Empire. ”
Moon Shadow introduced herself with a smile, as if to see the fear in Count Billies' eyes, and she added, "Your Excellency, don't worry, I'm not one of those necromancers who is happy to turn humans into undead...... I won't summon an army of the undead unless I have to. ”
If I don't agree to your terms, I'm afraid it will be necessary to summon an army of the undead, right?
Perides sneered. But he didn't dare to show the slightest expression on his face. lest it cause misunderstanding. He'd heard of it. Errigan faced an army of the undead before he was in Duisburg. But. This one comes. His expression became a little dull. It's also very weird to look at.
Moon Shadow didn't have time to grind with him. Now every minute and every second is a matter of more than 10,000 lives. Although the Fat's army will not attack Aachen all night. But tomorrow morning the attack is bound to be even more violent. Seeing Billydes in a daze. She urged, "Your Excellency, the Earl." It's time to decide! ”
"Decided?"
Perides was taken aback. There was a blank look in his eyes...... It's even a little pitiful.
Moon Shadow sighed softly. His Highness Snell didn't know where to find such a superlative. There is no military spirit at all...... That's not bad. It's a hassle to be too stylish.
She reached out and pulled out the long sword on the table. Thrown at the feet of Billydis: "You have a choice. Commit suicide or order the defenders to surrender. More than 10,000 defenders of the fortress of Cologne. Life and death are in the palm of your mind. ”
Suicide?
Billydis hesitated when he looked at Xue Liang's long sword, he was no longer the age of youthful blood, he was a hundred dead, and I am afraid there was nothing else except for the family to get a small pension; Surrender...... I'm afraid the ending will be even worse, first of all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to spare him.
"Your Excellency, it is difficult to surrender to the vassals, but the life and death of more than 10,000 subordinates in the fortress can be in your thoughts!" Moon Shadow kindly reminded.
"Even if you take me hostage. Don't even think about escaping the fortress! Perides was hard-mouthed. He was really afraid that this magician would be on fire, and he would force him to commit suicide in a hurry, and if he could delay it for a while, he would have more room to think.
"Huh,"
Moon Shadow smiled, "Your Excellency, are you relying on those people in the fortress?" ”
She muttered a few incantations. A six-pointed star magic array appeared out of thin air, and more than a dozen black warriors walked out of the magic array, their dark red eyes shooting out a terrifying murderous aura.
Billydis's face immediately turned pale, and the people who provoked the mage seemed to end badly, and he shouldn't challenge the bottom line of this female mage who didn't seem to have an unstable personality.
"Your Excellency, it's a pity that your room is too narrow, otherwise, I would have let you know how unwise it is to be more than a necromancer." Moon Shadow's face was still full of smiles. But in the eyes of the Count of the Billies. It's just a grim reaper's smile.
His throat squirmed with difficulty, and he said, "Your Excellency, can you guarantee it?" Never kill the soldiers who laid down their arms? ”
"Yes!"
Moon Shadow looked at Billydes solemnly, "In the name of the nobles and magicians, I promise that as long as your nobles lay down their arms, our army will ensure the safety of their lives and property!" ”
"Huh!"
Billydes sighed, picked up his sword, and walked over to Moon Shadow, offering it with both hands......
Because the soldiers of the city garrison were cleared, Pyridis had to go out and find a soldier to assemble all the officers in the fortress and declare their surrender, only two officers were killed in the attempt to resist, and the other officers, despite their grief and indignation, obeyed the order and handed over the sword they were wearing......
In the early morning, the fog slowly dissipated, and more and more black shadows appeared, although the Fats wanted to attack with the cover of the fog, but they could not control the change of weather, and when the fog dissipated, their wishful thinking was shattered.
However, when the soldiers at the head of the city saw the number of the enemy, they could not be optimistic, and the first wave of soldiers who joined the attack was almost twice as many as the previous day, and the morale did not appear to be depressed in the slightest, and it seemed that it was not affected at all by yesterday's situation.
"Orson, it's not a good day!"
Morrier's head was as big as a fight, killing 10,000 people and losing 3,000 himself, in yesterday's battle, those lords' private troops were almost killed and wounded, but today's attack has not yet begun, and the atmosphere is even worse than yesterday.
"As soon as the news of the fall of the fortress of Koren comes, the attack of the Fats will inevitably collapse without a fight." Orson said firmly.
"There is no news from Earl Lovely Lisy yet, and the result is unpredictable."
Maurier said with a sigh.
As Maurier had predicted, at the beginning of the battle, the Fat's army was on the offensive, with tens of thousands of soldiers risking their lives to attack the walls.
However, just as the defenders of the city were preparing to counterattack, a strange change rose sharply, and countless fireballs suddenly shot out from the attack team of the Fats, and the target of these fireballs was not the warriors defending the city, but large city-defending equipment such as catapults and giant crossbows defending the city, although they could not achieve accurate strikes, but after yesterday's fierce battle, experienced commanders were enough to judge the general location of these weapons, and the burning magic flames covered the area in an instant, Not only did the city defense equipment crackle in the flames, but the soldiers next to them were also affected by the flames, and let out a thrilling scream in the sea of fire.
"Damn, dastard, the Fats hide the magician among the soldiers!"
Maurier burst into a rage: "Longbowmen, shoot them!" ”
Those weapons that were already on fire could not be salvaged, and the only thing that could be done now was to extinguish the fire, and the longbowmen quickly rushed to the wall, and the feathered arrows immediately covered the area where the magician who had just fired the magic was.
Pieces of magic light of different colors flickered in the crowd, and the magician who had been on guard immediately raised the magic shield, and after the feather arrow touched the magic shield, it slid down weakly, but many ordinary warriors crowded next to the magician suffered the disaster of the pond fish and were shot down.
Seeing that the city's bows and arrows could not damage themselves, the magicians smiled at the corners of their mouths, maintained the magic shields on their bodies, and muttered magic spells again......
It is also quite terrifying for four or five hundred magicians to chant spells at the same time, even people who don't understand magic can feel that in the air, there is a strange force gathering frantically, and the Dresses soldiers on the city wall are pale with fright, if it weren't for the overseers behind them, some people would have escaped long ago--- without large city defense equipment or equivalent magician legions, this is almost like sending them to death.
"Idiot!"
After saying these two words, the always reluctant Orson waved his hand, and more than twenty Orephine warriors quickly came to the city wall with ten strange instruments---- which were two wheels that resembled the wheels of a horse-drawn carriage, and a thick, long cylinder in the middle.
"What's that?"
The warriors defending the city were whispering, but they were inexplicably confident, and since the beginning of the war, it was the miraculous lord of Hawaii who had led them to victory with a weak enemy.
"Orson, your sister-in-law made this thing, right? What's that? Maurier asked softly.
"Cannon."
Orson's answer was just one word, and he was also curious about how powerful the killer weapon left by Moon Shadow was.
In the meeting the day before yesterday, they already knew that the magic legion in the Fateh military camp would definitely join the attack sequence at the appropriate time, but they were helpless, the magic legion of the Derice Empire had been transferred by His Majesty the Emperor, and there were still a few magicians left in the fortress, but the strength was not worth it at all.
Although the Wyvern Knight and the Dragon are both terminators of the Magi, but the other side also has a griffin knight and a dragon knight, Moon Shadow repeatedly instructed before leaving, not the other party's air power, and her own air power must not be dispatched, but in order to prevent the sudden attack of the magic legion, she left this weapon called a cannon for Orson.
(Some readers feel that there are too many descriptions of war scenes, and I don't like it either, but raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, you can't let them be idle ^^ It's almost over!) )
