Chapter 112: The Falcon in the Sky
Warm lake fort, the atmosphere is oppressive and dreary.
In the dim light obscured by dark clouds, I only saw figures rushing back and forth. The hustle and bustle of weekdays has long since disappeared. Everyone's face was full of worry and fear.
Half a prayer hour ago, the scouts who sent out the castle reported the sights of the Phillips.
The army that was coming towards the warm water lake was less than eight kilometers away from the warm water lake. Within three hours of prayer, they will arrive here and send this castle and all its inhabitants to the hell of death.
From the moment he received the information, Chief Todd ordered all the soldiers to go up the walls. The young men in the fort were also distributed weapons and were ready to fight at any time. The stones and rolling wood were ready, and the oil in the cauldron was lit and boiled. Women and children were concentrated in the basement of the main tower of the castle. They lit candles and prayed under the leadership of a priest.
Then, there's the suffocating wait.
Every minute and every second of the past is a maddening ordeal for these people who are waiting for the flames of war and death to come.
The distance between the Filiet army is getting closer.
Every few minutes, scouts report on each other's whereabouts.
According to the scouts, it was an army of more than one hundred and fifty knights. Each knight's spear was tied with a flat-horned flag symbolizing the status of a knight.
There were no cavalry, and there were no retinues. They wore the same black armor and rode the same war horses, and the queue was neat and quiet. Even if you are far away, you can feel the cold murderous aura emanating from them.
That's a real elite knight. For this tiny castle. As long as one of the opposing sides climbed to the top of the city, the battle was over.
Death is inevitable.
And to everyone's sadness and disappointment, Warm Lake Fort originally had reinforcements.
The army, which consisted of ten long knights, dozens of midshipmen, and two hundred cavalrymen, had set out ahead of Yank, but had not yet reached the nearer Warm Lake Fort.
They are missing.
Because of their disappearance, hundreds of people in the Warm Lake Fort will soon pay with their lives.
However, the atmosphere in the castle grew more and more tense. When the Phillips had arrived less than three kilometers from the castle. A straight beacon of smoke rushed into the sky from the direction of Huohu Village.
At that moment, everyone in the warm lake fort. They all ran up the walls. Or climb on the roof.
Everyone looked into the distance. In addition to the confusion in the eyes, it was just shock.
What's going on? Nobody knows. All you know is that the Ferray army marched towards the warm lake. Because of the appearance of this beacon smoke, it stopped.
Todd was on the ramparts, pacing back and forth, his brow furrowed.
"Sir, why don't I go to Firefox Village to have a look?" the dusty scout captain walked up to Todd and whispered.
Todd glared, "The Ferrets have sealed off all sides of the castle, and if you go out now, you will be looking for death." ”
"It's a death anyway, what does it matter if it's sooner or later?" the scout captain shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "As a scout, instead of dying in this damn cage like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered, it is better to go to Firefox Village and satisfy my curiosity." Let's see who can make Frigo light the smoke of an emergency cry. ”
As he spoke, he touched his chin and said to Todd, "Sir, you say, could it be the unit that was supposed to come to us......
"Impossible!" Todd snorted coldly, "dozens of apprentice knights, two hundred cavalry, such a small number of troops, if you arrive here early, you can still use the castle to fight the Friedau." In the wild...... Hmph, if they are ten times more numerous, they are no match for Philero. Those who can be the vanguard of the attack on the fjords are the elite of the Firetes. ”
The scout captain nodded silently.
Although reluctant to admit it, it is an indisputable reality that the combat effectiveness of the Solan army is much lower than that of the Phillips army. Relying on the castle to fight defensive battles, the combat effectiveness of Solan's soldiers may be able to reach a one-to-one ratio with the Fiji martyrs. can fight in the field, even if it is two Solan soldiers, they may not be able to fight a Fiji martyr.
At the knight level, the gap is even greater.
In the battle of the northwestern province of Pru, the Knights of Philae defeated a squadron of knights in Solan head-on with a small team, and there are countless examples.
Using this as a reference, the possibility of defeating an army composed of hundreds of elite knights of Feili is almost zero, with the main force of trainee knights from the three major training camps.
"Then besides them, ......," the scout captain said with some confusion, "Is there another of our troops in this war zone?"
Todd shook his head and said: "I don't know if there are other troops, but anyway, what happened in Firefox Village can't have anything to do with that rookie army, I guess that if they weren't caught by Phillip because of their exposed location at the first time they entered the war zone, then they must be hiding somewhere now, trembling." ”
The scout captain glanced at Todd's face and closed his mouth tightly.
Although he vaguely felt in his heart that the team composed of a group of strong-blooded training camp students would not be so cowardly and despicable. However, he knew that Todd's resentment was extremely deep, and he naturally didn't want to defend the other party.
However, at this moment, suddenly, a guard came running out of breath and reported: "Sir, at the back door of the castle, there is an elven hunter asking to see you. He said he was sent by Roy. ”
"Roy?!"
As soon as he heard this name that made people gnash his teeth, Todd's eyes suddenly burst into flames, "Where are the people?"
Moments later, Todd had crossed the arched bridge between the castle's main tower and the city walls, and reached the castle's back door, where he met the elven hunter in dark green leather armor, surrounded by a group of guards.
This is a young male elf. He is about 190 centimeters tall, handsome and long. He carried a short bow and a round package, and two scimitars pinned to his waist. The leather armor on his body and the leather boots on his feet were covered with mud and grass clippings from his long walk in the jungle.
However, his calm and calm demeanor made this little flaw in his appearance not conspicuous at all.
Elves are a bunch of jealous guys.
"You say you're Roy's man?" Todd strode up to the elf, looked each other up and down, and said straight to the point, "But I haven't heard of the team from Medin City." There are elves in the storage zài. ”
He lifted his chin: "What's your name?" Why are you here?"
"Dear Mr. Knight, my name is Mikaze," the male elf said calmly. "I am a follower of Master Roy. Came by order. Hopefully through the Guò warm lake fort. Get in touch with the rear. ”
"Followers?" Todd had a sense of absurdity.
An arrogant elf who admires a free nature would actually call a trainee young master of a training camp and admit that he is its follower. It's incredible. Who is that kid? the illegitimate son of the Elven Queen, or the heir to some wealthy family?
But no matter who he is, he was supposed to reinforce Warm Lake Fort, but if he didn't appear here, he was doomed to be just a sinner who should be sent to the gallows!
Together with Eugene, who made this hairy boy the captain of the Long Knight Squad, and Yank, who let him lead the team, they should all be responsible for the hundreds of lives in Warm Water Lake.
Thinking of this, Todd said coldly, "How can I believe you?
"Maybe this will prove my identity. Mi Feng seemed to have anticipated Todd's question, unwrapped the package from his body, placed it on the ground, and opened it.
A human head, hundreds of cloak fragments, and identification plates appeared in front of Todd.
"This is ......" The surrounding crowd was in an uproar.
"We have attacked the Naqi headquarters of the Filiet Army in the Valley of Troubled Stones," Mifeng said calmly, "this is Nazi's head, and the identification plates of his knights, and the fragments of his cloak embroidered with heraldry. ”
As he spoke, he took out a note and handed it to the stunned Todd, "This is a letter from my young master." ”
Todd grabbed the note and hurriedly unfolded it, his face becoming extremely exciting.
"Are you saying that the behind-the-scenes commander of the Philip Army this time is Minai?, and it is the Five Heroes of the Seven-Colored Sea who have been sent to attack us?" He looked blankly at the human head on the ground, and then at Mi Feng, "Then, you wiped out all the troops in the Valley of Troubled Stones?"
"Yes, Mr. Todd," Mikaze said, "did you see the smoke of Firefox? The young master decided to use this to attract the attention of the other Feilie troops in the war zone in order to relieve the pressure on your defenses. Before I left here, we had received word that the Buzz Division, which had attacked the Bison Village, was heading for Firefox Village. The young master is ready to surprise them. ”
Todd, the scout captain, and the soldiers around him, were completely stupid.
Everyone stared blankly at the elven ranger, desperately trying to see a suspicious trace on his face. However, the other party's calmness and calmness made them understand that this was not a joke.
What's more, in front of them, there was also a human head, hundreds of nameplates and heraldic fragments.
You can't fake it. Whether the head is all in place may need to be confirmed. It is a great shame for any knight to be removed from the status plate and the coat of arms from the cloak. It may be possible to do one or two such things, but hundreds of them at a time, and no one has the ability to do that.
Unless, what the elf says is true.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain the qiē in front of you.
Todd clenched the letter in his hand, and for a moment his heartbeat was so fast that he was a little unbearable.
After carefully asking about all the details of Roy's team from leaving Muni City to Firefox Village, he only felt a stream of blood rush to the top of his head, and his whole face turned red.
He never dreamed that the guy he had scolded hundreds of times in his heart would actually have sixty elven followers. Moreover, in his ranks, there are also twenty Celestial Transformation Knights in Demon Costumes!
After entering the war zone, they directly bypassed the warm water lake and rushed to the Rocky Valley, annihilating the army led by Nazi, one of the five heroes of the Seven Colored Seas. Then in the village of Firefox, the beacon smoke was lit.
This smoke is like a bamboo pole inserted into the bottom of the water, muddying the water in the entire war zone.
Not only did the Solan Army not know what was happening, but neither did the Firean Army. Moreover, compared to the Solan Army, they cared more about this emergency distress beacon that belonged to them.
As a result of the smoke, the army attacking the buffalo village had turned to Firefox Village, and the Feilie army attacking the Warm Water Fort had also stopped.
If...... It was hard to believe, but Todd couldn't help but think. If Roy defeats Buzz, then, the strength of the Phillips army, as long as Eugene can lead the army to arrive in time, this battle, Solan may not lose!
"What do you want me to do?" Todd asked quickly.
"We've dealt with the griffon riders in this area. The young master hopes to take advantage of this time to contact the rear through the letter falcon in Guò Castle, "Mi Feng said, "I will do my best to pass on the information here." ”
Todd nodded. This is indeed the number one priority at the moment.
After all, the battle situation in the Fjord theater is an important part of the entire Lulian war situation. The situation here will directly affect the decisions of the generals in other theaters.
"That's fine," Todd said excitedly, "I'll do it myself!"
A few minutes later, two falcons rose from the Warm Water Lake Castle. One to the city of Medding, and the other to the city of Munny. Like two lightning bolts, under the dark clouds, they flew away
