Section 181: Siege
Under the compression of the enemies on the front, back, left and right, the ranks of the envoys gradually changed from the original long snake formation to a circular group.
The enemy didn't know what was waiting for and didn't attack right away, which gave Dominik time to command his team to adjust their formation and prepare for the battle.
Under Dominic's command, the few wagons in the ranks were pushed to the outer, unloaded and placed sideways, using them as temporary stumbling blocks.
The second line of defense is the war horse.
No matter how reluctant the knights were to give up these companions who followed them from birth to death, but in the face of such a critical juncture, they could only endure the pain to string these war horses together and form a second line of defense behind the carriage.
The knights formed a third line of defense, and they stood behind the horses, their weapons clenched, and their eyes looked resolutely ahead.
And in the center of this circular array are the mages and the logistics personnel in the team who are not capable of fighting.
Norman is here.
"Quick, fast over there!"
"Run!
"Damn it, your leg is lame!"
......
The shouts and shouts of the Holy Sect soldiers rose and fell one after another, directing those noble private armies to set up formations.
And the nobles of Nicaro were talking nonsense.
"Do all the people in Kyrenia feed on dog shit? Are their brains full of straw! I don't know how so many people have touched Francis!"
"Maybe we should negotiate with these 'bandits', there is nothing that cannot be discussed. ”
"Herbert, I think you need to explain to us well, why didn't you tell us the real purpose of this operation earlier! If you had said it earlier, maybe we could have prepared earlier, and things wouldn't have been so bad!"
"Let's surrender, according to the tradition among the nobility, we can redeem our lives with ransom. "This is good, it directly tells the truth that the other party is not a real bandit.
......
These Nicaro nobles were angry, desperate, or shirking responsibility, or angry with others, and they became a mess, and Herbert, who was the head of the Nicaro side of this operation, turned pale at the moment.
He thought more than anyone else.
And Norman, with the help of Lancelot, also saw the situation clearly.
"It seems that we are all abandoned. ”
After Norman contributed his carriage, he squeezed into the circle of Nicaro nobility in the chaos - compared to the unlucky ones of the Father's Cult, it still made him feel better here.
After hearing Norman's words, Herbert's face turned even paler, and he smiled miserably, which was more ugly than crying.
"Yes......"
"The size of the enemy was beyond imagination, and the fact that such a large force could march a day's distance from Nicaro and set up an encirclement was obviously at the behest of Roberts, the Grand Duke of Francis, so that they could hang out like their back garden. ”
These were urgently analyzed by Lancelot.
"Archduke Roberts sent all his sons to receive the legations of the Holy Maiden, which makes us subconsciously think that Archduke Roberts is on the side of the church, but the heart of this archduke is much harder than we think, Herbert is a reassuring bait he throws, and he is ready to sacrifice this son. ”
"And the reason why he asked you to come with him is not only because of Herbert's persuasion to help you get credit, but more importantly, because of your identity as the founder and principal of Nikhaheim. In the hands of an outsider like you, it is not as safe as being controlled by their Roberts family, so you also came with Herbert, and when you were killed by the 'bandits' here, Nikhaim naturally fell into the hands of Billy and completely fell into the hands of the Roberts family. ”
Herbert had apparently guessed his father's thoughts, which was why his face was so pale.
The royal family has no family affection, and the same is true of the great nobles, and Norman has seen it today.
At this time, there was a small commotion on the left, and then I saw Hardy taking the lead, and several people walked over quickly.
At this time, everyone didn't have the heart to maintain aristocratic etiquette, no one greeted the cardinal, and Hardy didn't care, after walking to Norman's side with a solemn face, he nodded, without nonsense, and asked directly: "Lord Divine Messenger, what should we do now?"
As he spoke, a pair of eyes were firmly fixed on Norman.
Obviously, after the last battle in the Aether Labyrinth, Norman has become the last anchor in Hardy's heart, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately ran to save Norman.
As soon as Hardy said this, the panicked Nicaro nobles around him reacted, and they also cast their eyes together, their eyes shining with hope.
Yes, this oracle beside them is a miracle who has turned the tide!
Maybe he'll be able to pull off a miracle this time!
Norman felt the hot eyes around him focus on him, and smiled bitterly in his heart: Look at the eggs!
In fact, he really didn't know what to do now, and the Knights Templar were at a loss for what to do about it, so they could only come up with a solution that was not a solution in a hurry.
"Maybe you can try to escape with spatial teleportation-type magic. ”
At the same time, however, the Knights Templar also thought that this method was unlikely to succeed, as they could imagine that the other side had spent so much effort to surround them.
Sure enough, after asking the question just now, Hardy added: "Just like last time, the surroundings have been blocked by space locks. ”
It's the same group of people again!
That was the first thought that crossed Norman's mind.
He now has a much deeper understanding of spells than in the past, and he also knows that the space lock is a level 9 spell, and it is very rare for a mage who has the ability to cast a level 9 spell, so the other party is likely to be the same group of people last time.
Why did you have to wait until now to kill them? Wouldn't it be his business for these people to kill the members of the Holy Maiden Legation sooner?......
Norman complained frantically in his heart, but his face was as solemn as the others, and he shook his head slowly, "I can't think of any way, and Father didn't give me any hints." ”
Seeing this, the nobles of Nicaro turned pale, but Hardy had faith in Norman, and said solemnly: "God has made you continue to think, even if our blood is drained, we will fight for you until the last moment." ”
The last time he was in the Aether Labyrinth, Norman didn't come up with a solution until later, so even if Norman said there was no way, they didn't despair.
And at that moment, a voice came through the amplification technique.
"Good afternoon, noble gentlemen from Barnes, Husum, Bonn, Francis. ”
It was a young man's voice, coming from the enemy camp in front of them.
