Volume 5 Paradise Lost Chapter 217 Wars in the Middle Ages
Rocky's prophet unfastened his robe, and under that robe his body turned out to be a white skeleton, the dry flesh from the neck to life, the whole head was the head of a living man, and below the head was a completely living skeleton from the end of the neck. [No pop-up novel network] has a moving and talking head on a skeleton. The two blonde women beside Rocky were already scared silly, although they had seen a lot of dead people or people who couldn't die, but the situation in front of them was beyond the range they could accept, Rocky was a little better after all, he had seen a lot of things that could wake up at midnight, although the one in front of him was weird and happened to the people around him, Rocky could also move his stiff neck, indicating that he was not stunned.
It turns out that the terms of the trade mentioned by the prophet were to exchange some stinky meat for the Merktor of Phgaulo, and those stinky flesh referred to the flesh on his own body. Rocky touched the thing in the center of his thigh that had just been scared soft, and said to himself that he still needed some meat, and if he exchanged this thing for Fogallo, Rocky would definitely be reluctant.
"Do you want to trade, Lord Lord? I can summon the advent of Phragallo! The Prophet's expression at this time was like that of a deceitful fox, but the allure of his skeletal body was really not great. At this moment, the Prophet's eyes constricted into a thin slit like a cat, an expression of the Demon's Eye.
"Hehe, I have no plans to trade with the demon for the time being!" Rocky laughed dryly and bypassed the stubble, this awkward evasive expression made Rocky not notice the abnormality of the prophet's eyes, otherwise, he would have thought more about these Merkdors and the people in front of him.
"Here they are, ready to fight!" In the thick fog, Rocky's army finally appeared outside Roseburg, and Roseburg sounded the alarm, and Richard's army was on guard in the direction from which Rocky's army was coming.
Five or six hundred men besieged a fortress, and the first impression of the fortress and five or six hundred men together was that it was not an easy job to do, but in the face of this place with the name of a fortress but not the actual fortress, Lodge really couldn't think of any reason why he couldn't take it quickly, even if Roseburg had already assembled Richard's main force.
"Huh? Is that a mage tower? Richard's army had a prophet? Why didn't anyone tell me this in my intelligence? Looking at this small castle, Rocky originally looked excited, winning this castle means improving strength and more taxes, but when Rocky saw the magic tower of Roseburg, his face instantly turned ugly.
The Mage Tower in Roseburg makes it clear that Richard's army has an extra prophet, and that in Paradise Lost, a prophet is more than capable of deciding the outcome of a war, which is why Rocky's reaction is so great.
"Is my lord not confident in me? So afraid of a little-known character in Richard's army! The prophet's white fangs made Rocky's scalp tingle again. However, Rocky thought a little and understood that what the prophet said was indeed good, some powerful prophets in the human race had already been recruited by the powerful lords of the human race, and some others had defected to the demons, and this kind of unknown mission was either a novice who had just become a prophet, or a wandering prophet of average strength, neither of which would pose a huge problem. If it was half a month ago, Rocky might have been a little worried, but now his prophet looks numb, but after trading with the demon, his strength must have increased greatly, which reassures Rocky.
"Of course not, it's just that a prophet might cause my army to suffer even greater losses, I'm a little worried!" Rocky took care of his prophet's mood and soothed the prophet's emotions with a false smile.
Rocky's army could only stop a few hundred meters from Roseburg as sharp wooden stakes outside Roseburg blocked the way of Rocky's army, and Rocky sneered as he stared at the sharp wooden stakes that were strewn across the ground.
"Richard, after dealing with me for so long, you put these rotten wood in front of me, you can't help but look down on your opponent, right?" Rocky's voice shouted in the direction of Roseburg through the drifting fog.
"Rocky, you're right, I've never looked down on you!" A disdainful voice from the city wall responded to Rocky.
Richard's disdainful voice made the corners of Rocky's mouth raise a sneer, staring at the place where Richard's voice sounded, Rocky nodded slightly at his prophet, Rocky's prophetic thumb and index finger together snapped his fingers, and at this moment, a black fireball burning with a strange light suddenly smashed into the place where Richard made a sound. The black fireball silently cut through the thick fog, which obscured the view, and the fireball appeared so suddenly that it did not reveal its fangs until it approached the city walls.
"Lord Lord, this Soul Devouring Fire can devour Richard's soul, this stupid opponent should have dealt with him a long time ago!" Drawing on the opponent's voice before the battle, and then attacking them, Rocky and his prophet have used this method to kill their enemies, and now they are ready to deal with Richard in one fell swoop.
The Soul Eater turned into a demon's head in the fog, opening its massive mouth and rushing towards Richard's place in the walls of Roseburg. The demonic image's cold teeth seemed to have sensed the taste of blood, and at this moment, a magic barrier suddenly lit up on the walls of Roseburg, and the magic barrier blocked the soul devouring fire, and the soul devouring fire slowly disappeared in the flickering of the magic barrier.
"Rocky, you want to become a high lord by this shady means? I think even a demonized pig makes me look better than you! Richard's disdainful voice, mixed with the boos of the Roseburg soldiers, made Rocky's face distort and turn blue.
"Richard, my methods are not very glorious, and you are no better! In Paradise Lost, for the sake of the unity and survival of our human race, I sent an envoy to negotiate with you, and you were unwilling to kill my messenger peacefully! A tyrannical lord like you is not worthy to lead the surviving humans, soldiers in Roseburg, you should overthrow Richard's rule, follow me safely, and I can guarantee food! Seeing that this was not possible, Rocky immediately began to encourage Richard's soldiers to betray. Rocky's surname is inherently cunning, and all these actions are in line with Richard's understanding of him.
Richard's soldiers responded to Rocky with a boo, who doesn't know who in this small territory, the situation in Rocky's territory is clear to everyone, Rocky's territory is only he and a few of his cronies have had a particularly good time, and the others are the heaviest taxes for farmers, and those who are willing to join the army after being recruited pay slightly lighter taxes, in general, it is easier for Richard to survive, so Rocky's rebellion is useless at all.
"Rocky, if you want my territory, unless you kill me, these nonsense of yours are useless, I'm here, let's do it with real knives and guns!" Richard snorted coldly, and with a hint of arrogant mockery, the soldiers in Roseburg cheered up, and their morale reached **.
Rocky didn't expect that his three-word conversation with Richard not only had no effect, but instead caused the morale of his army to be hit and the morale of the army to fluctuate. Many militiamen in Rocky's army thought that they were heavily taxed and had to work for Rocky, and their morale inevitably fluctuated, but no one dared to defect, after all, Rocky had his own bloodline army that spent a lot of money to support the existence of a terrifying prophet at home, and no one dared to resist Rocky's rule at all.
"Prophet, how powerful is that magic shield just now? What about Richard's prophetic strength? Shielded from his tried and tested Soul Eater, Rocky's suspicious surname began to doubt Richard's strength again.
"That shield is just a little magic, don't worry, lord, I'll take care of that person!" Rocky Prophet's gaze pierced through the fog as if he could see Li Xian in the mage tower, his gaze flashed with a strange light, and the demonic pupil appeared from his eye again.
Li Xian in the Mage Tower is also looking at this army coming from afar, such an army is quite in line with the situation in medieval England, this army has nothing to pay special attention to, but in the army, Li Xian smells a trace of unusualness, this army hides some power behind Paradise Lost.
"Noticed me so soon? It seems that the strength of the Protoss occupying the North American region should not be underestimated, with my current strength, even the Golden Immortal Divine Machine is difficult to find easily, I didn't expect that those Protoss would notice me not long after I entered here! Li Xian stared at the direction of Rocky Prophet's gaze, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, this demon who came here is weak, what is the god clan behind this trying to do? Or is it just that a certain Protoss discovered that Li Xian was a little abnormal and came to test it?
"Since the Prophet is so confident, let's get started!" Rocky nodded, and with a wave of his hand, motioned for the army to move, "Tear down these nasty stakes for me, trebuchet ready, and smash the stuff in Roseburg!" ”
"Hehe, pull out all the trebuchets, douse them with oil, and burn down the house of those idiots Richard!" At Lodge's order, the army lined up, and five trebuchets were pulled out. The soldiers of the trebuchet loaded the stones into the trebuchets, then poured fire oil on the stones, and the burning stones began to fall into Roseburg.
"Boom!" Burning stones about half a meter in diameter fell into Roseburg, the stone chips on the city wall were scattered, the stones were mixed with the brains of Richard's soldiers, a soldier hiding behind the battlements had just raised his head to shoot an arrow, a flying stone just swept over his head, and the warm brains were instantly baked into powder by the burning stones, and these stones also set fire to the houses in Roseburg, many of which were on fire, and the peasants inside screamed and cried.
Taking advantage of the chaos in Fort Rose, Lodge's soldiers began to dismantle sharp wooden stakes on the ground.
