The Phreeks retreated. Where is the fastest update of the novel?Please look for the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info retreat is very simple.
Amid the cheers of the people of Saint-Soran, hundreds of cavalry roared as they suppressed the counterattack that had begun at the head of the city with their rams, while shrinking their formations and breaking away from the bows and arrows of the castle's defenders.
For them, it was just a one-off shot.
Since the plan to demoralize the other party has failed, and it is impossible to rush up or break through the walls on horseback, there is no point in continuing the attack.
The only people who felt unwilling were perhaps the nine brave knights under the city walls.
They came from the frontier army of the Philip Empire. Among the more than 1,000 horsemen on horseback were one hundred and thirty-five knights. In addition to being the commander of the one-star just knights, the most powerful are the ten brave knights who have been in a hundred battles.
And now, only nine out of ten are left!
Another brave knight with three-star strength, who was happily laughing at the enemy loudly just now, has been directly killed on the ground by the eight arrows that came down from the castle.
Being hit by eight arrows at the same time is an obvious killing!
In particular, the three arrows that hit the knight's mouth, abdomen, and neck infused with fighting qi were even more bloody holes the size of fists on his body, which looked extremely miserable.
Every bloody dòng is the toughest counterattack of the defenders on the castle!
In the concept of the Phillips, this would have been an easy task.
They thought that as long as they passed through the rugged and difficult mountainous area infested by demonic beasts, and there were only seven or eight armed knights in the intelligence, they could be leveled.
Unexpectedly, here, they encountered stubborn resistance.
The companions who had fought side by side with them for many years did not die in the border city where the yellow sand was filled with sabers, and did not die in the desperate situation of being surrounded and chased by countless knights, but they died under the low walls of this seaside city.
There was clearly something wrong with the intelligence agencies of the Reich. At this moment, there were far more than seven or eight knights of Saint Soran who appeared in the city. Moreover, there were at least three brave knights among them.
Even judging from the traces of some of the Filie cavalry being burned to death in the mountains, there may have been a magician on the other side.
However, neither knights nor magicians mattered to the nine brave knights.
As they left, they all focused their knife-sharp gazes on the face of the black-haired boy at the head of the city.
It seemed that he wanted to carve the young man's face into his heart with a knife.
Then the flames rose.
In the firelight, the young man on the city wall had a dull gaze and a confused expression.
Then, with a shudder, he rolled his eyes, and turned to give the Knights of Ferley a big back of the head.
The knights almost gritted their steel teeth
The fire in the castle was quickly extinguished by the people who swarmed up with buckets.
Because the fire had been prepared to hold water for fire extinguishing before, and most of the castle's buildings were made of rammed earth stones, the burning of some of the grass and wood sheds in the open space was not a serious loss.
Civilians rushed to and fro with basins and buckets, soldiers blackened with smoke and fire with spears in their hands, and militiamen carried corpses with pale faces, rescued the wounded, and cleaned up the remaining bloodstains on the city walls.
It was the first time many of them had experienced war, and the first time they had seen the charred or cold corpses of living people in front of them.
Many people can't help but vomit.
According to a simple post-battle count, eleven soldiers and more than several times the number of militia were killed in this attack by the enemy, including one armed knight under the command of Baron Brian.
This is just a test of the xìng attack!
You can't imagine what a tragic scene it will be when the enemy builds a tower cart and a ladder and rushes up the city wall to start a close-range fight, and how many people will be killed.
People are doing their own thing in silence. They collected all the scattered arrows, demolished the burned wooden sheds, tended to the wounded, and washed the blood from the ground of the walls with wooden brushes dipped in water.
From time to time, they would look up. Look with respect at the knights who were busy with the orders among the soldiers, and the boy who let them out of hell for a while!
The news about Roy soon spread among the commoners and nobles of the castle.
Those who didn't know Roy widened their eyes with suspicion.
Isn't it a fantasy that a commoner xiǎo boy commanded eight knight lords and repelled the Phileri?
And the people who knew Roy were surprised and excited to tell each other.
"Really?
"I'm going to be wrong, you're pouting my eyeballs!"
"Hey, Roy this xiǎozi!"
"I knew that xiǎo was not simple!"
In the lobby of the main castle building, Sergeant Hans's voice could be heard from afar.
Standing in the crowd, his round face was full of red light, his spirit was vivid, and he shouted loudly with the triumph of an unknown prophet.
"Among so many children, why do I just like Roy? Hey, don't look at him who is quiet and dumbfounded on weekdays, if he really does things, he can't make mistakes!"
I have long said that sooner or later he will soar to the top, look, I said yes, even the knights of the royal guard obey his command. Tsk"
Hans was still about to boast, but was interrupted by old Maxim next to him: "Come on, you like Roy, and you're not a good supporter." When did you get drunk in a bar, didn't Roy take you back?"
The crowd next to him burst into laughter.
"Then Roy can enter the Lord's Mansion or I recommend it!" Hans blushed and exclaimed unconvinced, "If I didn't know him, I would dare to recommend him to the Lord's Mansion?"
As he spoke, he turned to face the crowd: "Tell me, everyone, how much work Roy has done in the city? Even if he looks a little dull on the surface, which boss dares to say that the big head is sorry for the salary he paid?"
The crowd nodded yes.
However, Sergeant Hans's words were directly ignored by the elder Maxim.
The old man was stroked with a goat-like white beard and said to the person beside him: "If you really want to talk about it, the first person to find out that xiǎomí paste is not simple is still me!"
"Fart!" said Hans. He stretched out his hand to grab old Maxim, but was persuaded by the person next to him.
"I said, what's there to fight about? It's not Roy's own ability, let you two go up to the city wall, you will already become hedgehogs!"
Aunt Mary next to her glanced at the two of them happily, patted her fat hand and said, "According to me, we should be happy for xiǎomí paste." If you can make the royal knight lord take a fancy to it, take it to the imperial capital, and become a royal knight lord in the future, it will be amazing!"
"Isn't Roy unable to cultivate Dou Qi, and he can also be a knight?" said one boy jealously.
Bang, the boy had already been slapped on the head by his mother: "You used to always say that people don't fight against each other." You will, what's the use? You can get all the knights to listen to you, and you can repel those Philos?"
In the hall, the voices of luàn messy, praised, yànen, and boasting of their unknown prophets or still unbelieving voices were mixed together, and there was a tumult.
In the living room on the second floor, the children of the nobles looked at each other.
No one expected that when they were still sternly refused to participate in the war by Baron Bryan, a xiǎo miscellaneous servant who was even older than most people here would actually join the war and make such a contribution.
If you can enter the Royal Knights because of this, it will be a step to the sky!
How can such a good thing fall on the head of a xiǎo miscellaneous servant?!
"No, I'm going to the Baron!"
A noble kid stood up all at once!
"Why can that guy named Roy go, and we can't go? In terms of martial arts, we are much stronger than a waste without a fighting spirit!"
"That's it!"
"Let's go, go find the Baron!"
Hearing the words of the noble son, a group of people immediately became emotional.
"Isn't it just that he knows shè arrows, in terms of archery, no one among us is worse than him! shè two arrows have become heroes, just like the knight of Frai was killed by him, if it weren't for Lord Hugo, he would be able to hurt someone's piece of oil?"
The noble kid who spoke first shouted in front of the NV child with righteous indignation, and walked out of the living room first: "Let's go, let's go to the baron to reason!"
"Everyone!"
As soon as the children of the nobles reached the entrance of the living room, they saw a royal non-commissioned officer guarding the main building blocking the way
"Let's rest here, Lord Baron wants to deploy defenses and command operations, I'm afraid I don't have time to explain to you. ”
A group of children of the lord of the xiǎo manor obviously can't argue with an adult royal non-commissioned officer.
"Sir, we just wanted to help"
A boy explained.
"I'm sorry, no. You must stay here for your safety. The Royal Sergeant's tone was flat, but his attitude was tougher than steel.
The boys looked at each other and couldn't help but be deflated.
"Then why should that guy named Roy go to war?"
"Isn't it just shè arrows, Mike and they will too. Listen, what those stupid civilians down there are blowing that guy into!"
At this time, a group of aristocratic sisters with fans were babbling reinforcements behind the boys. Only Anne leaned against the living room window, staring at the distant wall, her eyes flickering, not knowing what she was thinking.
"You can blow it like anything. The corners of the Royal Sergeant's mouth curled into a contemptuous smile, and he said lightly: "If any of you can fire four arrows in unison and ten arrows in a single breath, each of which will force a brave knight, then I will personally send him there." ”
After speaking, the royal non-commissioned officer nodded slightly, pressed his sword and turned to walk towards his post.
Only a group of people behind him were left stunned.
"Mike?" an NV kid looked at a blonde boy with admiration, "You can do it, right?"
The atmosphere became even more silent
"This is the Yaga Snow Mountain, and when we get to the bottom of the mountain, we have to turn east. ”
In the makeshift conference room of the guard tower, Baron Brian pointed to the parchment map spread out on the wooden table and said to the crowd around him.
After the previous round of battles, as soon as they heard that a battle meeting was held, the leaders of the several major forces currently gathered in the castle crowded into the conference room.
Everyone understands that it is no longer realistic to defend the castle until reinforcements appear. The other party only relied on one round of manshè, which had already made the militia in the castle almost frightened, and if they waited for the enemy to rush to the city, I was afraid that one round of attacks would be over, and the castle would be finished.
After all, this is not a border town that has suffered from war.
The people of the border city are fierce, and they are robbers with a knife, and as long as they can hold it down when defending the city, they are all good soldiers on the city wall. But in this bō LaBelle can not be. They are a group of farmers who have never fought a war and have never seen a bloody killing, even if they put armor on their whole bodies and take divine weapons, they will still be a group of lambs to the slaughter when they meet a fierce opponent.
Maybe after two days and three days, and a few battles, they can be beaten out, but with such a small number of troops in the castle, they can't withstand it for so long.
At this time, there is only one way to go!
The question now is, where to go.
Brother Moon and George, who had never been on the road before, stood next to Brian, staring at Brian's fingers and frowning. He turned a blind eye to the disdainful eyes of Hugo and other royal knights next to him.
Matthew and Rice, also attended.
Until then, Les had been involved in the defense of the other wall. Matthew, on the other hand, is on the city wall for the first time.
As the sole heir to Viscount Wenger, Matthew didn't want to give his life here for nothing. In his opinion, the only smart people in this are Moon and George. Since the Holy Knights could hide behind, so could he.
He sent four of the six knights who followed him to participate in the defense, which was already for the sake of Les's face.
At this moment, Baron Brian is explaining the evacuation route he built yì. All eyes are on the map. When it comes to net worth, everyone's face is dignified.
Roy quietly walked out of the room and onto the Lù Sky Lookout in the Guard Tower.
Seeing Roy's back, Susan lightly touched Hugo, beckoned to Punk again, and asked in a low voice, "When Shè hit that arrow just now, did you feel that someone applied a battle ring acceleration to us?!"
Hugo and Punk's eyes widened and they nodded quickly.
Punk was surprised, "I thought I was delusional!"
"It's not an illusion, if you all have feelings, then that's right! My battle ring has accelerated by at least twenty turns, and that arrow has mobilized the power of the twelve layers of ring!" Hugo said.
"Me too!"
Susan and Punk said at the same time...... Rush to the list on Monday and ask for recommendation votes. Every book lover's ticket is crucial. Even if it is one person, one vote, the new book list is ours!
