Chapter 111: Beacon Smoke Over the War Zone

In the Red Stone Gang Castle, the drawbridge has been raised, and the gate is closed, as if facing a great enemy.

Yang Ke stood on the city wall, staring at the strict formation of the Feilie army hundreds of meters below the city, which exuded a powerful aura all over his body, and his mood was extremely heavy.

After an almost desperate journey, the reinforcements of Medin City led by him, after killing more than twenty of their best horses, finally reached Redstone Hill before the Ferrets and took over the defenses.

Now, the villagers outside the Hongshigang Castle have taken refuge in the castle, and the defense work inside the castle has already begun.

However, the sturdy castle, the mountains of stones and timber, and the soldiers under his command still did not give Yank the slightest sense of security.

Take a look at each other's lineups.

More than one hundred and fifty elite knights, at least ten magicians, plus more than two hundred cavalry and the same number of infantry, such a force was completely ruin for the small castle of Red Rock Hills.

"My lord," Yank's deputy, Tander, walked up to the wall and reported, "the magic pattern circle has been checked and is working properly. However, Master Mark said that this was only the simplest level of the Magic Pattern Array, and it would not last long. If we can't contain the opponent's mage, I'm afraid that after a maximum of five attacks, the magic pattern circle will collapse. ”

Yank nodded.

"Are the gates blocked?" he asked.

"It's been sealed with bluestone strips. Sander said.

"Then wait!" Yank sighed and stared into the distance, "I hope General Eugene will be able to arrive as soon as possible." Otherwise, Lulian is finished. ”

Sander was silent for a long time, and then he spoke, "My lord." Over there, there's still no news?"

Since arriving at Redstone Hills, Yank has quickly sent someone to get in touch with Warm Water Lake.

Originally, they thought that the team led by Roy had set off before them, and that it was closer than Redstone Hill, so they should have arrived a long time ago. I didn't expect it. It was Todd, the defending officer of Fort Warm Lake, who replied.

When he first heard that Yank had arrived at Redstone Hills, Todd was overjoyed.

You know, when the fjord was first lost, he didn't even receive any news from the Warm Lake Fort. And when he got the news, released the falcon, and sent someone to the rear to inform him, the griffin knights of the Ferret had already sealed off the entire area. None of the falcons that were released escaped the griffons.

And the people who sent. Even if he dodges the griffon knights, according to Todd's estimates, it will be ten prayers before he reaches Medin City at the earliest. By the time reinforcements from Medin City arrived, it would be at least twenty-four prayer hours.

But what he didn't expect was that before his messenger arrived, the reinforcements from Medin City had miraculously appeared in Hongshi Gang.

Undoubtedly, this meant that reinforcements from Medin City did not leave after receiving the news. But before that, someone had already seen through the plans of the Firetes. Almost at the same time as the fjord was lost. I have already set off from Medin City.

Todd didn't know who this man was, he only knew that he was saved.

Since there are reinforcements on the side of Hongshi Gang, the warm water lake, which is also geographically important, should also have reinforcements.

"Why, haven't they arrived yet? They have been on for a long time before us. It stands to reason. Four prayer hours ago, they should have been here. ”

This is a sentence blurted out by Yank's messenger after arriving at the warm water lake.

This sentence made the joyful Todd's heart cold.

Four prayer hours. It's usually a boring afternoon, and no one cares if it's all wasted. However, this is the time of the war when every second counts. It is a sin to waste a minute, not to mention being a full four prayers late, and even now it has not been seen.

A unit of hundreds of people, just missing?

And the warm lake fort, which was supposed to wait for reinforcements, was sold to the Phillips?!

The logistics officer, who had never fought before, left a message when he saw off Yank's messenger: "This time, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back alive." But, no matter who that guy named Roy is, remember, I'm going to take him to court-martial!"

Though he hadn't met Todd, Yank could have imagined the poor Warm Lake Castle Defender's desperate look and hoarse voice.

Yank closed his eyes for a long time before he took a deep breath and said, "No." We and Todd sent out to investigate. However, there has been no news until now. ”

Sander said bitterly: "If this is the case, then the warm water lake may not be able to hold." Even if General Eugene arrives, we will only have a foothold in Redstone Hills. It doesn't help. ”

He said, gritting his teeth and said, "That kid named Roy is so unreliable." He really shouldn't have been allowed to lead the team in the first place. ”

"It's not necessarily him," Yank said, "I'm afraid something happened on the road." After all, so many long knights, as well as the cavalry I assigned to him, are not fools, and they will not let him do anything. Moreover, I don't think this kid is the kind of person who doesn't know the severity. ”

As he spoke, the soldiers beside him erupted into a commotion.

Yanke turned his head to look, only to see the Fei Lie Army in the distance, in an arc, slowly pressing towards this side.

At the front of the procession, a black-haired young man, escorted by ten magicians and thirty knights, rode his horse. The indifferent and somewhat nonchalant expression, even in the face of the crossbow that had been aimed at him, did not change in the slightest.

A leisurely walk is like walking in your own backyard.

Three hundred meters, the brigade of the Filiet Army stopped. Only the young knight and his escort went on.

Yank waved his hand, signaling the soldiers not to act rashly. The gesture of the other side is clearly seeking dialogue.

Two hundred meters, a hundred meters, until the city was down, the young man stopped.

The young man was wearing a purple demonic armor, his appearance was handsome, and his expression was indifferent. Sits down a fire-maned demon lion with a snow-white body and a reddish mane. Although they are tens of meters apart, they give people a strong sense of oppression.

"My name is Curtain Night," the young man looked up at Yank, his black eyes, like cold obsidian, "I will be the conqueror here." ”

Solan's soldiers were in an uproar.

"Who is this guy?"

"What bullshit conquerors. Too arrogant, isn't it?!"

Only Yank, whose eyelids jumped sharply when he heard the name.

The five heroes under the command of Minai, the famous general of the Feilie Empire, the most famous and powerful one, is called Makuya.

It's just that Yank didn't expect that this legend once led thirty knights. Even broke seven barbarian tribes, slaughtered rivers of blood, not only slaughtered hundreds of barbarian tribesmen, but also gouged out the eyes and tongues of three of the most stubborn barbarian priests and nailed them to the cross, thus causing a major earthquake of the barbarian tribes in the north of Feilie, is the meticulous young man in front of him.

Ruthless, resourceful, and with excellent judgment and leadership, even in the most dangerous times. It can also maintain an almost extreme calm. Fierce and fierce in combat and command, good at attacking...... This is the evaluation of the curtain night.

But for Yank, more importantly, since this person is here, it means that Mina's huge figure has appeared behind the scenes of this war. It also means several other places in this war zone......

Yank's heart sank little by little.

If before that, he still had three points of confidence in holding the castle of Redstone Hills, then. Now there is only half a point left.

"I don't want to waste my time," said Mu Ye coldly. "My mission is to take this castle. No matter how many of you there are and how determined you are, this outcome will not change. Therefore, the advice I give you is to surrender immediately. Then you may spare your lives. There is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices. ”

"What if I refuse!" Yank said loudly, taking a deep breath.

"Then I will give the order to attack after half a prayer hour," said Muya lightly, "after the city is broken." I'll kill every living thing in the city. Whether it's a human, a horse, or a mouse in the kitchen. ”

There was a dead silence on the castle. Everyone can see that this guy named Makuya is no longer joking.

He's going to kill everyone in the castle. Whether it's a soldier or a civilian, whether it's an old man or a child. This cold-faced guy will not hesitate in the slightest.

But...... Slowly, a smile tugged at the corner of Yank's mouth.

"Sounds like a great deal," Yank turned his head and looked at the soldiers beside him, "Guys, are we going to surrender?"

A burst of laughter rang out over the city walls.

"Idiot, I want your dad to surrender in the next life. A group of soldiers climbed the wall and spat down. The white saliva was like a row of arrows, poof, poof, "Philip mongrel!!"

"Come on, little white face, come and kiss my ass!" several men jumped on the wall, turned their backs, took off their pants, crackled and patted their snow-white buttocks, and shook them a few times from time to time.

The knights were more steady, holding their arms and smiling at each other. However, the playful look on their faces was like seeing an ignorant little child. This is a total disregard and contempt.

In terms of force, among the three empires, Saint Solan is perhaps the weakest. However, the fact that the country is not full of military force does not mean that the kingdom lacks courage.

A hundred years ago, Grand Duke Solan ruled the world, resisting the joint attack of the two empires and the Holy See, and fought this empire in the cracks, what a heroic hero.

And a hundred years later, this blood courage is far from disappearing. Not only that, but in the face of the inhumane bloodshed caused by the Filie people on the southern coast, the courage hidden in the bones is flourishing.

In a word, I want everyone to surrender humiliatingly. The guy miscalculated. He probably didn't understand that from the moment he set off from Medin City, everyone didn't plan to go back alive!

If you want to occupy this castle, you can, you can trade your life!

"Hear that?" Yank smiled as he looked at the night, his face filled with undisguised pride and contempt, "Is this clear enough? If you don't understand, then ......"

Yank backhanded the long sword at his waist. The sharp blade slowly broke through the skin on his forehead, cutting horizontally through a bloody mouth that was eyebrow-wide.

Bloody oath to the death!

Licking the blood that flowed to the corners of his mouth, Yanke smacked down the city with a mouthful of bloody saliva, and said coldly, "I always understand now!"

Up and down the city, there was silence.

A moment later, a choking sound of swords unsheathed rang out, and the Solan knights sliced their foreheads and swore in the same way. At a glance, above the city, there are just hideous faces full of blood!

The Feilie knights under the city couldn't help but stir.

Since the attack on Solan. The army of Fei Lie is overwhelming and invincible. In their eyes, the Solan Empire is not only weak, but also full of internal strife. Those intriguing nobles, those lords who have fled the imperial capital with their families before they have even arrived in the city. There is simply no qualification to be an opponent of the mighty and valiant Knights of Ferry.

What they didn't expect was that in this small, doomed castle, there was such a group of defenders who looked at death as home.

And at night, he quietly watched the city, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest. He said slowly, "I don't know whether to admire your courage or laugh at your stupidity. But I must admit that you have succeeded in provoking me. Perhaps I should make it clear to you the price to be paid for stupid provocations......"

The voice did not fall. Suddenly, the Firemane Demon Lion violently opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar. In the roar, the curtain night's body shook and flew towards the city, directly taking the infantry squad leader who was slapping his ass and provoking him just now.

His speed was extremely fast, and he was in a hurry. Everyone didn't come back to their senses for a while. By the time everyone reacted, he was already like a ghost. After a distance of tens of meters, he arrived in front of the squad leader.

The squad leader retreated!

"Be careful!" Yank shouted, his figure soaring into the air and rushing towards the night. There is still a distance of seven or eight meters, and it is a punch!

With this punch, Yank poured all his might. The eight battle rings were all released without reservation. Like eight meteors, they pull out arcs up or down in the sky, and crash into the night.

At the same time, others also took action. The three knights who were closer together stabbed at the curtain at the same time. On the arrow towers on both sides, the armor-piercing crossbows, which had been on guard, were launched suddenly. Two spear-like armor-piercing arrows, like two black lightning bolts, one left and one right, went straight to the night.

In an instant, everyone formed a siege storm against the night.

At this time, the curtain was still about five meters away from the team leader. If he wants to continue to do it, he will have to withstand all the attacks at that moment. And such an attack is enough to severely damage any knight below the Great Light level.

There is no difference between being seriously wounded and dying on this wall. It was impossible for the guards below to cross the walls and save him from being surrounded by Solan's soldiers.

However, what is shocking is that in the face of the siege, there is no intention of retreating.

I saw that his body flickered, and the speed that was already as fast as lightning increased again. A flash of light flashed on the purple armor, enveloping his body, and he violently pulled out several phantoms that were speeding forward, and rushed forward fiercely.

"Bang!"

Under the tearful gaze of the soldier Solan, the hand of the curtain night slapped the chest of the squad leader, like defeating Ge.

This palm, as if there was a suction, the team leader's retreating body was not only shaken away, but stopped strangely. A burst of blood light exploded from the soldier's torn chest, and in the blood light, the figure of the curtain was already like a falcon, rising into the sky, turning in the sky, and flying towards the castle.

When his figure reappeared on the majestic back of the Firemane Demon Lion, a loud bang sounded on the wall.

Yanke's eight battle rings slammed into the bluestone of the city wall, and the rubble flew wildly. Two armor-piercing arrows staggered through the air, flying far out of the castle and sticking into the land a hundred meters away. And the long swords of the three knights were also completely pierced in the air, and they didn't even hurt the fur of the night.

The captain, whose eyes were wide open, collapsed on the cold city wall. The palm of the curtain night lightly destroyed every inch of bones and muscles in his body.

"Prawns!"

A cry of sorrow sounded, and several officers in the original garrison of Hongshi Gang frantically pounced on it and hugged the dead squad leader tightly.

Due to the short time he had been taking over the Redstone Guards, Yank did not know the names of the officers. However, he could tell from his previous work as a castle guard that these officers were well-trained and loyal to their duties. And the feelings between each other are very deep. Led by them, Hongshigang also maintained good morale and meticulous defense work before the arrival of reinforcements.

"They are all members of the 121st squad of the rabble, and after the battle of Medin City, they officially joined the Imperial army. Ten days ago, he was ordered to be transferred from the front to Red Rock Gang to garrison," a trembling Yanker's ear rang with Sander's voice, "the one who died." Nicknamed Prawn, he was also a hero in the Battle of Medin City, and was canonized by the Grand Duke. Didn't expect ......"

121 Squad!

Sander's words made the eyes of Yank and his knights all change.

This is the meritorious team of the great victory in Medding City!

Everyone didn't expect that the members of this team would be in Hongshi Gang. I didn't even think of it. One of the heroes was openly killed by the enemy right under his nose.

Looking at the bloody body of the prawn, looking at the trembling bodies and red eyes of the members of Team 121 such as Sean, Red Wine, and Knife around him, everyone present was swept away by an irrepressible grief and indignation.

And along with this grief, there is also endless shock!

That night, it turned out to be a knight in a magical costume!

No wonder he is so arrogant and so confident. Not to mention that there is a huge gap between the strength and combat effectiveness of the two sides. Just his personal strength, in this small castle, is completely invincible.

Yank turned his head sharply.

Below the castle, Mu Ye clapped his hands lightly, glanced at him lightly, pulled the fire-maned demon lion, and ordered: "Attack, kill them all!"

"Prepare for battle!" Yank roared!

Clarion call on both sides. Ringing almost at the same time.

All of a sudden, the castle went up and down. It's all moving. Countless Solan soldiers poured onto the walls. Feathered arrows have been pouring down like a torrential rain on the Feilie knights under the city. From time to time, there was the piercing screech of an armor-piercing crossbow. And the knight of Feilie in the vicinity, covering the curtain night, slowly retreated. The brigade in the distance accelerated to this side.

A fierce battle is about to break out in full force.

And at this very moment. In the southwest direction, a sky-high beacon smoke came into the eyes of the soldiers on both sides at the same time.

"That's ......"

"The Filret's urgent distress beacon!"

........................

........................

The smoke from the sentry tower in Firefox Village has become the focus of the entire war zone.

In this vast mountain forest, whether it is the Feili army marching towards their respective goals, or the defenders of Solan waiting for disaster to strike. Everyone looked in the direction of Firefox Village, looking at the beacon smoke that could not have appeared in this sky, and their expressions were different. There is shock, there is anxiety, and more often, there is confusion and confusion.

Everyone knows that it was just a watchtower. There was only a squadron of infantry and ten cavalrymen stationed there.

In front of the Ferry Knights, their existence is like a praying mantis in front of the chariot, and there is no other ending except for broken bones.

This war zone is already the world of the Philip Army. Whether it's Red Rock Hill, Warm Water Lake or Bison Village...... The Solan defenders are at an absolute disadvantage. It's like a sheep divided by wolves, and no one knows if they will live to see the sun tomorrow. Therefore, everyone should not be surprised if anything happens to the watchtower in Firefox Village.

But no one expected that what rose from the watchtower was an indigo smoke!

That was the most urgent distress signal of the Phillips!

How could it be possible to be in this place?!

In the face of this smoke, the Solan soldiers were confused with a hint of expectation. They didn't know what was going on in Firefox Village, but since the Feilie Army had lit the beacon smoke, it meant that it was a good thing for them.

It's just that I don't know the specific situation, which makes everyone's heart like a cat scratching. Everyone can't wait to grow a pair of wings and fly over to see what is going on.

On the other hand, Fei Lie reacted differently.

"Immediately dispatch the griffin knights to find out the news!" "Red Stone Castle, curtain night temporarily stopped the attack, and ordered with a cold face. The smoke made him smell an ominous smell.

"Take this guy, is this way to sue us that he succeeded?" In the other direction, Zi Sen reined in his horse, looked back at Fengyan, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Damn, doesn't he know what it means to win without martial arts?"

"Stop the march," Tie Lun grimaced, only three kilometers from the Warm Water Lake Castle, "release the letter falcon and ask what is going on." ”

"Damn!" Buzz, who had just arrived, paced back and forth anxiously, looking at Beacon's gaze with a hint of worry and hesitation.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind.

"Let's go, go to Firefox Village!" Buzz gritted his teeth, "Let's get closest, let's see what that guy is up to." ”

"But, sir. Bison Village ......"

Buzz coldly glanced back at the military village and the wall not far away, those somewhat dazed Solan defenders, and snorted coldly: "What's the hurry, this place will be ours sooner or later." and when he returned, he destroyed them. None of them will be left!"

Looking at the Feilie army that receded like a tide, the defenders of Bison Village looked at each other.

"You say, why did Phillip retreat? Could it be that there is ...... in Firefox Village?"

"It's impossible, don't you know our situation? It's not enough for Phillip to stuff his teeth. What other great god can beat the Philek and set off a beacon for help? I think it's a plot of the Phillip. Trying to trick us out."

"Well, that's right. ”

"Possibly!"

"We're not going to get out. ”

"Look, griffon!"

........................

........................

In the gloomy sky, a griffon, after skimming the iconic Bucket Hat Peak between Bison Village and Warm Lake Fort, flies towards Baekdu Mountain, where the Firefox Village watchtower is located.

Dark green forests, light green meadows, turquoise lakes. One by one, they swept under the griffin. On the griffin's broad back, the griffin knight looked at the indigo smoke on Mount Bald and yawned tiredly and boredly.

In the eyes of others, the griffin knight is a symbol of nobility and wealth, an object of envy and even envy. However, only the griffon knight himself knew that soaring in the sky was not such a pleasant thing.

First of all. During the flight, the oncoming wind is the most devastating. Almost every Griffon Knight has an eye disease. As soon as you are stimulated, you will cry.

Secondly. The griffin, a bird of prey, is not so tame. Sometimes, when this damn thing sees its predators or prey, it often reacts in unexpected ways.

If nothing else, a sudden sideways or tumbling was enough to spin the knight on his back. If you don't happen to have a safety rope attached. Congratulations, you're going to be like a tin can, falling straight to the ground from a height of thousands of meters, smashing a big hole. All that's left is to pile up dirt. Just put a headstone in it.

It sounds stupid, but in fact, among the various strange ways in which a griffon knight dies, the option of falling to death accounts for a staggering 35 percent.

This is due to the tradition of the griffin knights.

Only a rookie will tie an ugly rope to the saddle and his waist. The real griffin knight is the one who can maintain an extreme tacit understanding with the griffin and can stand on the griffin to fight.

Think about it, in the window of the lover in your dreams, a knight standing on the back of a griffin, holding flowers in her hand, slowly rising in the magic moon on the horizon, and a knight who hangs a rope from a silly bar and wants to tie himself to the griffin, who can win the heart?

Think about it with your ass.

The griffin knight rubbed his eyes and looked at the gloomy sky. This is the most painful thing for a griffon knight, aside from tears and dizziness in the wind - flying in bad weather.

When the storm is storming, lightning and thunder, flying at a height of thousands of meters, the feeling is no different from breaking into hell. And the bad thing is that, judging by the signs in front of you, the weather is going in that damn direction.

The griffin knight patted the griffon's neck lightly, motioning for it to go faster.

You must know that since the attack on the fjord, he and three other companions have shouldered the task of covering the intelligence of the entire theater. Rising into the air again and again, diving again and again, chasing and killing falcons and messengers again and again, I have long been tired to the extreme.

He didn't know what was going on in Firefox Village.

He only hoped that he could finish the task before the storm came, and then get into the bed and get a good night's sleep. As for fighting, that's the stuff of the guys on the ground.

Flying along the rolling hills, soon, Baektu Mountain is already in front of you.

The knight lowered the griffin, and first looked above the Firefox Village, and found that the house was empty, and the whole village was quiet.

With a slight pull on the reins, the griffin understood and spiraled upward. During this process, the griffin knight kept a safe distance from Mt. Paektu and the watchtower on the top of the mountain. He didn't want to be a live target for some archer.

What made him strange was that the watchtower at the top of the hill was as quiet as the village below.

Except for the straight smoke, there was no one around the watchtower. The jungle was quiet, and there was not the slightest trace of a fight as far as the eye could see.

"Huh?" the griffon knight frowned.

It stands to reason that Naqi should have arrived here a long time ago at this time. Even if something happens to him, at least there should be a trace left. But now, the village and the watchtower are eerily quiet. Not only did Naqi's headquarters disappear out of thin air, but even Solan's defenders were gone.

After making sure it was safe, the griffon knight let the griffon approach the watchtower.

At this time, on the top of the watchtower, there was a dog barking. The griffin knight looked intently and saw a fat spotted dog, jumping and barking at him, grinning from time to time, and bowing his body in a threatening manner.

The griffin rider had a toothache.

This is the first time he has seen such a fat and ugly dog.

What's even more infuriating is that this thing is still a shouting of "no matter who you are, if you dare to come down, Lao Tzu will bite you to death", but whenever the griffin flew closer, it whimpered, slipped back with its tail between its legs, and had a face of "Lao Tzu is just talking and playing, are you really here?"

There was only one dog on the watchtower, and the griffin knight was ready to go down and take a look.

The griffin slowly lowered its height. During this process, the knight has been on guard. If there is any movement around him, he will immediately choose to take off and flee.

As a scout, bringing the information back is the first priority.

As for the rest, even if Naqi died in front of him, it had nothing to do with him.

A few seconds later, the griffon was less than three hundred meters from the watchtower. There was still no movement around, only the fat dog, barking more and more panicked, and the fat body was spinning in place, full of tricks.

The griffon knight kicked the griffon in the lower abdomen and swooped down towards the watchtower.

Two hundred and seventy meters, two hundred and forty meters...... At this moment, suddenly, he saw that in the distance of the mountain pass, there were two armies, approaching rapidly.

One of them, he was very familiar with. It was Bouz's team. Judging from the direction of the march, it was clear that they had arrived from the Bison Village.

And the other one, impressively, is an ambushed Solan army.

At this moment, they lurking in the mountains and forests, like a poisonous snake, cut horizontally into the center of Buzi's department.

As soon as they made contact, the twenty black-armored knights who burst out of the front were like sharp steel knives, breaking through the waist of the Fei Lie Army. The elite Black Lightning Knight, in front of them, was like cheese, without the slightest resistance. Their bodies shattered under the stormy light, and the entire queue was in chaos.

Where did this Solan army come from?

The griffin knight was shocked, and he jerked the reins in an attempt to pull the griffon up.

But at this time, he saw that at the top of the watchtower, the fat dog man was lying on the pheasant, licking his tongue and grinning.

"Wang!"

Accompanied by this dog barking, there was a terrifying dragon breath that rose to the sky!

As if being hit by an invisible shockwave, the griffin knight in the sky only felt that his body was cold and upside down, and the operation of the source power in his body was completely stagnant. Even the thinking seems to be frozen.

And the griffons that sat down were even more unbearable. The natural suppression of the racial hierarchy makes it have no resistance to dragon's breath at all. After a scream, the massive body fell straight to the ground like a stone.

There was a loud bang.

At the last moment, when the view was filled with solid ground, the last thing the griffon knight saw was the fat dog with its tongue and innocent face...... (To be continued......)
