Chapter 478: The First Wave of Offensive
The Abominations stood guard at the entrance of the hall, leaving time for their masters to talk.
"The Brotherhood has approached me, so you shouldn't be one of theirs, so you belong to Assassin's Creed?"
"Not exactly!" Melissa didn't think to hide it, and if Downton agreed that he was an ordinary woman, it wouldn't be worth courting.
"It seems you're hiding deeper than I thought. Downton stared at the young woman, his eyes fell on her earlobe, and he was suddenly stunned, and asked meaningfully, "The fighting match in the Dagger Mine is beautiful, isn't it?"
"Not bad!" Melissa laughed, "You found out?"
"Hmph, I haven't asked you for the account of sneaking up on me!"
When he was attacked by a female thief in the mines, Downton noticed that she was wearing a blue pendant earring, which was wearing on Melissa's ear.
With this woman's means, it is naturally impossible to make such a low-level mistake, so the only explanation is that the other party is going to have a showdown.
"The Duke of the West's hole cards are far more than you think, with your little strength, you can't beat him, how about it? Do you want to join us? The governor looks at you very well!"
Melissa stretched out her right hand and sincerely invited, "I would love to work with you." ”
"Who is the Governor? It seems that you are not a member of Assassin's Creed anymore?" Downton frowned, when was he actually targeted by a mysterious force?
"You're not qualified to know the Tao right now. Melissa stepped forward and hugged Downton again, gently groping his cheek, "Join us." With the support of the Governor, you will get more, what is a Westland?"
"What a big tone, can you still make me a Grand Duke and a King?" Downton scoffed.
"Of course, as long as you show your worth, the Governor will never treat you badly. Melissa saw Downton's cold expression. No longer forced, let go of him, "You think about it carefully, if you agree, this crisis is nothing at all, and the governor can solve it for you in a few words!"
"I'm sorry, I don't need him to speak, my blade can still kill all enemies!" Downton turned to leave.
"It's very domineering, but reality will make you bow your head. Melissa teased. "Don't forget to beg me when the time comes!"
Seeing Downton wave his hand without looking back, and walked straight into the office, Melissa's pretended smile faded, and her expression was cold.
.......
As the sun set, Count Sequoia rode on a Frankia pure-blooded warhorse, looking at the undead firebird in the distant sky, and its whole body was burning like a fiery cloud, attracting the eyes of the world.
"Is this a demonstration?"
The Count chuckled.
"I'm expecting it to attack. We don't have to waste such traps. ”
To the right of the Count is a burly man two meters tall. His name is Lucio, and he is a follower who has followed the Chancellor of the Exchequer for ten years, and he is strong, he has reached the seventh order of judgment, and the demon servant he has is a hero rank, and he is strong.
"Can you lead it down?" said Embier, a grim expression. The more gorgeous the firebird became, the more the hatred in his heart grew, and the thought of Downton's damned pariahs actually getting it made him want to be broken to pieces at once.
"Don't worry, there's always a chance. "The Count is not an idiot. Besides, if you can get to your current position, even if your IQ is not enough, the staff officer will remind you.
Downton has a firebird, how could the Earl not be on guard against the other party's stealing camp, so he had already made full preparations, and once it attacked, he would attack with all his might.
After all, the Earl's side believed that the key point of this war was the Firebird, and as long as it was defeated, Downton's poor legions had nothing to worry about.
"Then let him live one more day. Embier glanced back, and the dense array of marching tents and up to a thousand private armies reassured him.
"Why don't you attack the camp?" Hu Tao sat on the back of the snow shoots, looking at the camp below, and couldn't wait to rush into the big fight.
"There are traps!"
The Firebird had just released a dozen flame bullets, but before it could fall into the camp, it was exploded by magic in the middle of the process, which proved that the opponent's defense methods were very tight, and if it attacked secretly, it would definitely fall into a bitter battle.
Despite the failure of the attack, Downton did not make the enemy any better, and he had the Firebird fly around the camp every hour and blast a few spells at random.
"Ha Luha, it's ridiculous, he thinks that using this method will make my elite army lose sleep and get tired?" the Count scoffed, in fact the attack did not have much effect, after seeing that the firebird could not cause casualties, the soldiers fell asleep peacefully, they were veterans after all, and they had long been accustomed to this situation.
On the morning of the second day, in the light of the emptiness, the Earl's army arrived on the outskirts of Morning Mist.
The banners and armor reflected the sunlight, and the momentum of silence and slaughter gave the ogres a great sense of oppression.
On the Downton side, on the other hand, the lineup is a really bad mess.
Although the number of ogres was as high as fifteen hundred, they were crowded together in a haphazard manner, and there was a constant noise of all kinds.
Downton stroked his forehead, and it was a bit difficult to get these casual and untrained hill natives to line up.
"Haluha, this is our enemy?" Lucio teased with a whip, "without your legions, my men can annihilate them." ”
The size of the ogre is too big, it takes a lot of steel to equip all the armor, how can Downton have so much spare money to arm them, even the ogre who followed him first was only five hundred, so the aboriginal army at this time looked simply rudimentary.
Not to mention leather armor, most ogres are naked, wearing only a leather skirt, and some poor eggs don't even have this, they are wrapped in grass skirts woven with vine leaves, and most of the weapons in their hands are wooden sticks and stone mallets, and they have few iron tools.
If the border guards saw so many ogres, they would have no will to fight, but now they are facing the elite army of the Count of Sequoia, and the armor and weapons on each body will exceed 10,000 gold coins, so they naturally have the courage to attack.
"Look, there's an orc army in the back, Ha Luha, pass the order, don't kill them all later, you can sell them as slaves when you catch them. ”
Hearing the earl's command, the herald immediately rode away on his warhorse.
There are 500 orc alliances, most of them are minotaurs, and the reason why they are standing here is not all Xia Luo's face, but also the kindness of Downton who saved them in the slave market back then.
Further back, there were actually hundreds of goblins, which were captured by the passing goblin tribes when Johnson recruited ogres, but they were completely ignored at this time.
"One less spirit, one less belief, Downton, this battle is not easy to fight. Rosicky saw that the ogre had already made a commotion, and some of the treacherous ones even wanted to slip away, and suddenly felt bad, and gestured to the Overseer led by Quasimodo.
"Confidence and momentum are to play, just fight a few more times. "Downton had already expected this situation, these major battles were eliminated, and the surviving veterans, he would inevitably be treated favorably, and he would become the core of the hill aboriginal corps.
"Too poor value for money. Rosicky guessed Downton's purpose, but disagreed, the huge cost of maintaining an ogre army would be overwhelming.
"All stand upright, salute!"
Dwayne Johnson rode a Sherman behind Downton, and when he passed by the Ogre Circle, he yelled, but unfortunately these natives lacked training and their movements were uneven.
"Ha Lu Ha!"
The soldiers of Count Sequoia couldn't hold back any longer, and Da Lu laughed out loud, this situation is really embarrassing!
Downton doesn't care, the more the other party despises him, the happier he is.
"There are a lot of good things for this pariah, and those Shermans alone are very rare, and it's too cool to ride out of the sherman. "The Earl doesn't care about money, what he cares about is status, only this kind of war bear that money can't buy can support the family's heritage.
"Whatever it is, it's not ours later?" Lucio said, making everyone laugh, and in their opinion, the battle was a sure win.
"Let the magic advisors prepare, all the judgment orders will release the demon servants, and the magic power will line up, ready to encircle and suppress the firebird!" The earl has the highest status in this group of people, and has the experience of leading troops, and has the strongest power, plus he is a strong man of the seventh order of the judgment, and there is a hero-level demon servant under his command, so he naturally has full command.
More than a dozen magicians stepped forward, although the rank was not high, but the range of magic projections of several waves was enough to disrupt the ogre's formation.
Even a junior brother like Downton, who has little experience in battle formations, knows that Lu Dao first suppresses the opponent with long-range strikes, and then supplements it with melee strangulation, not to mention people like the earl.
As all kinds of magical energy flashed, more than a hundred demonic beasts appeared on the battlefield, and the ogres were completely shaken.
Some of the cowards finally couldn't take the pressure anymore and ran out of the group and ran towards the forest not far away.
"Kill them!"
Quasimodo roared, and then rushed out on a war bear, tearing the dragon's fangs and waving them, beheading an ogre.
With an eagle's chirp, the white Snow Falcon flew through Morning Mist and appeared on the battlefield, and Walnut stood on his back and threw out a battle axe.
Bang! Bang!
Like a heavy cannon, the spinning tomahawk disembowels that escaped were all disemboweled, smashing them into a puddle of rotten flesh.
"If there are any more escapees, there will be no mercy!"
Hu Taojiao drinks, this is the task that Rosicky taught her.
The ogre's commotion was quickly suppressed, and no one dared to flee anymore.
The original sneering faces of the Red Mountain soldiers also converged, and they almost burst into tears of shock one by one, it was really the lethality shown by the abhorrence that surprised them, and the little Lori riding the snow falcon was extremely fierce.
"Huh? It's actually a flying soul mount, but fortunately it doesn't have any attack power, otherwise it would be troublesome. Lucio took a monocular eagle-eye telescope to observe the snow falcon and was relieved to see its features. (To be continued......)
