Chapter 891: Military Maniac
This is Norfolk's border, and its defenses are weak, so bandits are rife.
After riding his horse up a small hill, Downton looked up and saw two groups of men and horses fighting in the sparse woodland.
"Wow, the battle is so fierce!"
Little Lori rode the Void Ray to chase after her, blood shot from below, heads rolled off, and people were falling all the time.
"You don't have to practice opera?"
Downton teased that this time she went to the Xueman Empire to participate in the memories of the United States of the North, and little Lori had to come along, she was used to the days when her big brother was around, and she didn't want to be separated from him at all.
Madeleine has run the Toffee Opera Company for ten years, and she can't wait to become famous, and this time the envoys from various countries gathered in Xueman, which is undoubtedly the best opportunity to become a hit, so she also came with the troupe, and along the way, she coaxed and persuaded to teach Xiao Hu Tao acting skills.
"This killer is not too cold", but Madeleine's killer feature, she is confident that she will conquer those nobles with little Lori, of course, just in case, Quasimodo is also pulled, because it is going to play the bell tower weirdo in "Notre Dame de Paris".
If it weren't for Madeleine, Downton wouldn't know that the always silent and wooden abomination was actually a master of acting.
"If he wasn't too terrible, he would definitely become a big star on the streets, but it doesn't matter, I will make him the most charismatic villain!"
After the head of the royal sister gave this comment in front of Downton, he began to pull people, in his opinion, when the general of the hill natives is far from acting, no, for Madeleine, who has been addicted to opera, in this world, only opera-related professions are the most meaningful and valuable.
"The dynasty will eventually decay. And opera must be eternal!"
Downton had no choice but to flee and let Quasimodo deal with it himself.
"I already regret it!"
Xiao Hu Tao pursed her mouth, but because she signed the agreement, she was tired. Little Lori has to persevere, because being a man must be true to her word.
"Little Walnut, look, I made a new costume for you, is it beautiful?"
Madeleine rode over on a war horse, took out a gothic dress from her satchel, and gestured on little Lori's body, "I swear, as long as I wear her." You're going to take the whole high society by storm!"
You've said this several times. Hu Tao made a bitter face and asked Downton for help, but unfortunately he didn't look here.
"What do you think?"
Rosicky stopped beside him with a few guards.
"Isn't this just a group of robbers robbing?" Little Walnut picked up the war hammer and was eager to try, "Let me go and kill them and eliminate the harm for the people!"
"Fool, have you ever seen such orderly bandits? This must have been the pretense of the enemies of the Bilier people. ”
Madeleine pulls the walnut and pretends to be a robber to kill. But it's the best way to hide it.
"How do you see that?"
Hu Tao built a pergola with his hands and searched around.
"Do you dare to be a little more stupid?" Homer was speechless, "Well, that azalea banner embroidered with red rune thread is Leopold's royal emblem!"
"Leopold, what the hell?"
Xiao Hu Tao scratched her head with a wrinkled face, and muttered quietly, but she hadn't reacted yet.
"Of course it's the royal family of Belier. Being able to fly this flag means that the young man is a member of the royal family, and it is estimated that he is a prince!"
Rosicky explained, glancing at Madeleine, who was only a third-rate mid-tier country at the time. If you don't study heraldry, you won't be able to recognize it at a glance, knowing that it's not the ubiquitous national flag.
"I'm running a theater troupe, and it's good for me to get to know more nobles. ”
Madeleine explains, but no one believes this explanation except for the innocent Celestia and the stupid Walnut.
"Whatever, those people are robbers now, and there's no place to reason if you kill them!"
Xiao Hu Tao is a violent Lori, and if she doesn't do it for a few days, she will be idle and bored.
"Use your brains, people dare to intercept and kill a prince, the forces behind it are naturally not small, do you go up to send them to death?" Madeleine Quack bit the toffee in her mouth and rolled her eyes, "Recently, there has been a lot of chaos in the north, you don't cause trouble, let's hurry up, I'm going to have a few more performances to make the toffee famous!"
"I thought it was an opportunity!"
Downton looked at Rosicky for advice.
"Yes, even if you are strong enough to single-handedly take on all the countries on the Western Soil Road, you still need allies!" Rosicky said, already rushing down first, and the cavalry regiment followed.
Frame!
Downton twitched the horse's hips, and the thoroughbred galloped wildly, bringing up some straw sandals.
"Wait for me!"
Little Walnut took the opportunity to break free from Madeleine's pull and rode the ray all the way.
"Hey, these men, is the temptation of power so great for you, how nice is it to sit down and enjoy an opera?"
Madeleine shook her head, peeled a candy, threw it into her mouth, and then, as if it dawned on her, she pulled out her sketchbook, she wanted to write down these scenes of fighting, maybe it would be useful in the future.
When Downton and his party appeared on the hillside, they had already attracted the attention of the two parties, the robbers were doing murderous things, and naturally they were always vigilant around, and Prince Chadley wanted to see Norfolk's garrison, and secondly, he was worried that there were robbers hiding.
"Do you want to ask for help?"
Chadley asked the chief of the guard, although the situation was still in a stalemate, but he was very distressed to see his subordinates die, so he would rather spend some money and hire some mercenaries.
"A mercenary without courage, don't worry!" the bandit leader glanced at Downton and yelled, "Everyone work hard, annihilate them, and reward 100,000 gold each!"
"Kill!"
When the robbers heard the high bounty, their morale was boosted, and they roared angrily and stepped up their attack.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"
The bandit leader smiled contemptuously as he watched Downton and his men rush down the hillside, but the next moment the smile was fixed on his face, as a group of heavily armed cavalry appeared from behind the hillside, like a torrent of rushing steel, rushing straight down. The sound of horses' hooves is like thunder!
"What should I do?"
Several captains looked at the boss, they were not bandits, but legitimate soldiers, with vicious eyes, and there was no need to fight. Just by looking at the skillful riding skills of the Death Knights, you know that this is a wave of formidable enemies.
"Third child, you go talk, drag on for a while, and the others will kill me!"
The robber leader clamped his legs between the horse's belly and went into battle in person, and if this interception was unsuccessful, Chadley had a precaution and wanted to do it again in the future. It's going to be difficult.
The third child received the order, led more than a dozen horsemen out of the crowd, and ran to the hillside, wanting to stop them as soon as possible.
"It's so elite!"
Watching the cavalry running, gradually changing into a V-shaped attack formation, neatly beyond measure, the third child praised from the bottom of his heart, but his eyes were soon attracted by the little Lori riding the air ray mount.
"What a cute little Lori. If you catch her, you might be able to threaten these people to help round up Chadley!" the third muttered. I saw that little Lori actually changed direction, broke away from the team and rushed over first, and was immediately overjoyed, "Throw the net and prepare, catch her for me!"
More than a dozen riders immediately removed the throwing net hanging from their waists and rushed head-on to Hu Tao. In the process, they also dispersed and lined up in a hunting formation.
"Attack!"
Seeing that Xiao Lori did not slow down, the third child roared with ecstasy, these people who did not participate in the battle were all elites of the ruling rank. To keep it is to be a reserve, just in case, to deal with a little Lori, in his opinion, nine out of ten are safe, but the next moment, reality is a slap in the face.
These nets were all improved according to the throwing nets of the wolf cavalry, and after they were thrown into the air, they immediately unfolded, like clouds covering the walnuts, covering a wide area.
Hu Tao did not panic, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the air ray rolled to the left, made a 720-degree roller maneuver, and easily dodged these throwing nets.
"I'm Debolo!"
The cavalry were dumbfounded, this mobility is worthy of flying mounts.
"What's the fuss, move...... Hands!"
When the third child said the word 'hand', he was so surprised that he even bit his tongue and bled blood, because he saw that after the little Lori dodged the net, he adjusted his direction, and when he smashed out the war hammer, he rushed straight over.
Bang!
A cavalryman didn't react at all, and was smashed into meat sauce by the war hammer and the horses, and the blood-stained war hammer had just been inserted into the ground, and the little Lori flew to the ground, bent down, scooped up the war hammer, and smashed it out again.
"Wait, I have something to say!"
The third child remembered the boss's order, but as soon as he finished shouting, he saw a war hammer expand rapidly in front of him, and then with a roar, he completely lost consciousness.
"Male, are the little Lori's monsters now?"
The bandit leader saw that the third child of the sixth order was killed in seconds with a hammer, and the frightened urine was about to come out, and the other party's gesture was obviously more than enough.
"I'm Debolo!"
Chadley and the Captain of the Guard witnessed this and almost jumped out of their saddles, and at this time, they also saw the battle flag of the cavalry regiment.
"I haven't seen this flag, which mercenary group is it from?"
As a member of the royal family, heraldry was compulsory, and he recalled that he had never seen a fox holding a book and reading a banner, so he decided that Downton came from a mercenary group.
"Then the big bird burning on it is a phoenix, and the winged one is an angel? My Emperor Polo, who is so bold to embroider these super-level demonic beasts on the military flag?"
The guard grew up complaining that in the Western Earth Continent, the battle flag is a sacred item, and the things on it are not embroidered, it represents the honor and achievements that the owner has obtained, and it also represents deterrence.
For example, the blood-dripping dragon head pattern with the blade of the sword, which represents the dragon slaying, and in the entire continent, only twenty legions are qualified to embroider.
The phoenix is okay to say, it may be bloodline or something, but the angel pattern is the exclusive symbol of the Light Flame Holy See, and if you use it privately, you will be held accountable.
"Wait, that native duke who recently defeated Frankfurt seems to have a pair of twin angel servants!"
The old servant next to him had been working in the royal family for thirty years, and was in charge of the old king's food and daily life, and this time he followed Chadley, because the king was worried that he would make a mistake in dealing with people.
There was a servant who knew the people of the world, and at least Chadley knew that those people should not be provoked.
Downton actually didn't want to be so ostentatious, but a thousand-man cavalry regiment was on the border, and it didn't prepare flags and documents to represent the identity, not to mention that it wouldn't be released, and it would cause panic among the townspeople.
"Huh? Is that Downton, who was born as a civilian, and burned down the 150,000-strong army in the South?"
Chadley's eyes were burning all at once, he was eager to command the war, but he never had the chance, so Downton, who had won a series of beautiful battles, was his idol.
"Haha, these 'robbers' are going to be unlucky!"
The chief of the guard saw that the bandit leader had not yet recognized Downton's identity, and couldn't help but be happy, not to mention these elite cavalry, just one Downton could sweep them away.
A dozen robbers looked at the running Walnut, not knowing whether to chase back or talk to Downton, but they didn't have to worry about it soon, because the knights with long-range attack talents made a move, killing them in a wave and tearing them to shredded flesh.
"I'm Dibolo, I'm so strong!"
Seeing this scene, the robbers who were besieging Leopold's Praetorian Guard suddenly gasped and their morale plummeted.
"Get out of the way, the head of this bandit leader is mine! No one is allowed to rob it!"
Hu Tao roared, all the way in, a few robbers wanted to intercept, but even her hammer couldn't stop it, after being hit, it fell out like a broken sandbag.
"Withdraw!"
The leader of the robbers immediately made a decision, shook the reins and turned the horse's head, and was about to run away, he blasted out a natural magic, but it was blocked by Lori's shield.
"Don't run!"
Little Lori was in a hurry, and the hand of the fire demon waved down fiercely.
Boom! Boom!
Several streams of lava erupted from the bandit leader's side, and the hot lava converged to form a lava giant that smashed his fist at the bandit leader.
The scorching heat hit his face, and the bandit leader was so frightened that he just dodged, and before he could bother to extinguish the lit hair, he was hit hard in the back, and he vomited blood and threw off the saddle.
"Oops, it's too heavy!"
Seeing that the body of the robber leader was folded to ninety degrees, his chest collapsed, and he vomited blood, obviously he couldn't live, Xiao Hu Tao grabbed her hair depressedly, she was also going to catch a prisoner, ask if it was really a robber, if so, torture them where the looted wealth was hidden, and make a small fortune!
"Run!"
The bosses are all dead, and the robbers dare to fight, and they are desperately whipping their mounts one by one, trying to escape from this place.
Chadley's men took advantage of the situation to expand the victory.
"You're that Downton from Frankfurt?"
Before Downton approached, Chadley had already taken the initiative to greet him, with an enthusiastic attitude.
"Huh?"
Downton was surprised, it is said that he has destroyed a royal family, and these princes should not have a good impression of themselves even if they do not have the same hatred for themselves!
"I've wanted to see you for a long time, your Burning Pine Forest Campaign, the Long-distance Rush Campaign, is simply too classic, tell me, what did you think at the time? You must know that you are out of absolute disadvantage, once you fail, the whole situation is over!"
After Chadley shook hands politely, he actually pulled him like that, and asked with a glow in his eyes. (To be continued......)
