Chapter 118

It's already the fourth, and this is the fourth time that the Swadias have broken through the second line and have been pushed back again. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info in such a long battle, only the first time, when the first front was still complete, the Svadias suffered heavy losses, and the next three impacts, the losses of the Svadians added up to not as heavy as the first time, the two thousand heavy knights have lost all their horses, and two-thirds of the knights, completely turned into hoplites, and the squire knights still have three or four hundred people left, but they took the first front, and the Swadia retreat is complete, and they do not have to retreat to hundreds of meters away, but only need to retreat twenty meters, and they can rest and replenish their strength on the steep slopes that are easy to defend and difficult to attack。 If it weren't for the previous battle, when all the crossbow bolts were used up and all the crossbow machines were broken, now they would have been able to shoot at the opposite Rhodoks with their high altitude.

But until this point, the thousand Swadia royal knights under Claes had never been engaged in battle, which made Ala's eyes seem to be dripping blood. The Swadia Royal Knights do not engage in battle, one is to guard against possible ambushes, and the other is to save until the last to give him the most lethal blow. Royal knights are not used for ordinary heavy cavalry, and the death of any one is a serious loss.

Moreover, if the royal knights do not move, it means that Allah will not be able to get reinforcements.

At this time, Allah, the 5th Crossbow Brigade had all been exhausted, and the 2nd Infantry Brigade, the iron cans with their double thick armor, had completely collapsed in the first three battles against the heavy cavalry charge. Although the opponent's heavy cavalry was temporarily eliminated in this battle, it was only eliminated rather than annihilated, and at least six hundred heavy cavalry only lost their horses and became heavy infantry. And his 2nd Infantry Brigade paid a heavy price of 17,800 men, and the captain of the 2nd Infantry Brigade was killed!

At present, the 2nd Infantry Brigade and the 3rd Infantry Brigade have been temporarily combined into one brigade, but even so, the two brigades together do not have a total strength of 2,000 men.

Fortunately, he still had a reserve of a thousand crossbow scouts that he did not use, even if the fifth crossbow brigade was all killed in the battle to seize the high ground, he did not use this fresh force, he was always waiting, waiting for the last chance, waiting for the Swadian royal knights to start, the heavy cavalry that came out of their backs and did not know whether it existed. Suddenly, an unarmored horse, with only a white cloak and a collar of armor, galloped from outside the woods, this knight was covered in blood, and several sharp arrows were stuck in the white cloak, and the blood stained the originally white cloak red and black, and it was dirty.

The knight came to Count Claes, and before he had time to salute, he turned over and dismounted, threw the letter box hanging around his neck to Claes, and then convulsed and spat blood.

Claes reached out and caught the letterbox, not looking at the dying knight on the ground, and in less than two minutes, the knight ended his struggle on the brink of death, kicked his legs, and died.

Claes just slowly opened the rolled up parchment and hurriedly swept two lines, and his face suddenly became blue and white, which was very ugly.

Then, he crumpled the letter and threw it on the ground, drew his sword from his waist, and slashed it at the opposite Rodok camp.

With the slash of the sword, the thousand Swadian royal knights, who had never been engaged in battle, finally moved slowly, step by step, and began to trot forward. The neat black front, like the night pouring down from the sky, rolled forward.

The sound of the horses' hooves grew louder and louder, gradually turning into rumbling thunder, beating on the ground like a heavy drumstick, striking Allah's heart.

Ala's heart was both relaxed and nervous for a while, and he seemed to have been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

He waved his two-handed sword in his hand and stood at the front of the infantry ranks, all the remaining Rhodok warriors of the Second and Third Brigades, their faces as pale as death, but still standing close together, shoulder to shoulder, sticking the broken shield into the ground in front of him, and the uneven spears were on the edge of the shield, pointing in the direction of the Swadia royal knights.

The final decisive battle has finally arrived!

Allah prayed silently in his heart, slowly opened his eyes, and said in a loud voice: "My brothers Rhodok......!

β€œ...... The honor of a lifetime!"

The Paraven city was covered with more than ten times as many torches as on a normal day, illuminating the entire city, and even the flat ground within a mile below the city walls, as if it were daylight, and a garrison of thousands, even tens of thousands, of militiamen, dressed in simple leather armor and armed with rudimentary crossbows or spears, occupied every battlement of the city walls.

Wuke came back with a black face and said, "Not at all, the security over there is too tight, we can't get through it at all!"

I clutched the wounds that were still oozing blood from time to time, and looked at the wall on the other side, which looked like daylight.

Yes, things have come to this point, and there's really not much I can do.

At this moment, in the distance, a horse galloped in the direction of Harlan Gosburg, and the knight on the horse seemed to be unaware, riding a dark steed, wearing a black linen cloak, and his face was hidden in the shadow of the cloak.

The knight galloped straight from under the city of Paraven in arrogance, and at once caused a commotion and commotion at the head of the city, and immediately a rain of crossbow bolts flew down, as if to extinguish him like a flame.

Just when I thought he was dead, the knight suddenly reached out and pulled out a long, slender and narrow knife from his back, and the misty light of the knife flashed, and the crossbow arrows that fell above his head were all reduced to splinters and scattered.

Wuke yelled, "Okay!"

With just such a sword, the knight had already left the range of the crossbow arrows at the head of the city, and it was not long before he left the illuminated range of the torches at the head of the city and completely disappeared into the darkness.

Then, in a few moments of respite, the knight rode straight up the hill and headed in our direction.

Wuke was a little nervous, and he took off the two-headed axe behind his back and put it in his hand, ready to do it at any moment.

But when the knight was halfway there, the horse suddenly neighed, and fell to his knees with his front hooves, and the knight, as if prepared, rose from his horse's back and fell to the ground, and then continued to gallop in the direction in which I was.

Tex waved his hand slightly, and there was a winding sound in the grass around him.

I stood up suddenly. The knight had come very close, and at this distance, though the moon was dim, I recognized him clearly. I grabbed Tex and said, "Don't be nervous, my own people!"

As soon as I spoke, the knight stopped, and then, lifting the hood from his head, revealing his long tan hair, I could see the long knife he was carrying on his back.

It's Sephiroth!

Sephiroth saw me distinctly, too, and his eyes flashed with surprise and relief, and then, with a flick of his foot, he flipped over the head of Wuke, who was in front of me, and landed beside me.

When he saw the blood stains left on the bandage by the hideous wound on my chest, his face became obviously ugly, like a piece of ice, he looked left and right, and said to me calmly: "Boss, who did it? I'll help you kill him!"

When he said this, his tone was obviously calm, but when I heard it in my ears, I immediately got goosebumps, as if I had fallen into an ice cave all at once.

I saw the look in Wuke's eyes as if he were facing a great enemy.

I waved my hand: "Relax, it's none of their business, it's the Swadians...... How did you get back? How's it going?"

Sephiroth returned to me, and at that moment I finally felt at ease and at peace. It can be said that the sense of security he alone gives me is even far greater than the security brought to me by this dark ace army.

Sephiroth's face darkened for a moment, and he said, "Yes, I'm back, things are ......" He gritted his teeth, as if he didn't know how to choose his words, and then, he suddenly knelt down in front of me, and said with great guilt: "Boss, you kill me, I didn't finish the task you gave me!"

A sense of foreboding immediately swept over me, and I reached out to take Sephiroth's hand, trying to pull him up, but I felt his hand cold.

I said, "Tell me, anyway!"

Sephiroth clenched his teeth, and his whole body began to tremble without knowing whether it was anger or sadness, and after a long time, he said, "Caesar...... He died, and was killed by Lao G's own hands! Although I didn't witness it, I examined his body, and there were no traces of external injuries or poisoning, and he was killed by Lao G's heart sword?

I closed my eyes, a tear slowly slipped down the corner of my eye, I took a deep breath, opened my eyes, and said in a suppressed trembling voice, "Okay...... I got ......."

Sephiroth suddenly raised his head and continued: "Molodov is also dead!"

My hands shook violently, and I almost jumped up from the stretcher, and I looked at Sephiroth in amazement and said, "What did you say!"

Sephiroth lowered his head, took a deep breath, and said, "On the day I arrived at Zenda, I happened to hear Lao G say to his subordinates that he had sent someone to Banbu Mountain, and he also said...... He misread you...... I didn't have time to assassinate his men to avenge Caesar, so I rushed straight to Banbu Mountain, and when I arrived...... Molodov is dead, and I only have time to kill the killers and save the rest of the people in the next half step. ”

My fist clenched and slowly released, and I asked, "What about those people in Banbu Mountain?"

Sephiroth said: "There are more than 2,000 people in all, and I have Acrylic, Arthurs, and Pisa Shoro lead the transfer to Uxhall, after all, there is Ruth there, and it should be able to take care of it." As for me, after dealing with the affairs of Banbu Mountain, I have rushed over day and night, and I have heard from those dark inquisitors that you have made a big move here, and are ready to help you. ”

I nodded, patted Sephiroth on the shoulder, bit my lip and said with tears in my eyes, "Okay." From now on, you will follow me and see how I avenge my brothers! I will turn into a fire and burn away all the filth and sin of Calradia!"

As if to confirm my words, before my words could be uttered, from behind the impregnable walls of the great city of Palauven on that side, a raging fire and black smoke suddenly rose.

Wuke, who had been hiding far away, immediately jumped up, pointed over and said, "It's on fire! It's on fire!

I stared blankly at the flames of Paraven, which had sacrificed at least twenty more Dark Inquisitors.

The sudden fire dealt another blow to the fragile nerves of the defenders of Palaubon, and I saw that several frightened militiamen jumped from the top of the city in a hurry, and fell into a mess of flesh under the base of the wall. But the vast majority of people remained normal nervous, shouting and running to save the city, and there were many people in the city.

Suddenly, the fire in the distance flashed violently, bursting into dazzling brightness, and then, most of the huge gates of Parabun suddenly shattered like a pile of earth, and flew into the air as broken rubble.

The earth trembled violently, and the starlight in the sky seemed to be shattered all at once, as if it were an earthquake, and it was as if the gods of mythology had destroyed the world.

Countless mutilated limbs flew into the air, and countless boiling flames swept away in all directions like beasts.

It was only then that the sound of a dark explosion finally reached my ears.

The corners of my mouth subconsciously showed a cruel smile.

The sudden explosion made everyone staggered and couldn't stand on their heels, and Wuke, who had been standing very far forward, suddenly weakened his feet, and was shaken down the hill by the shaking of the earth, he struggled in a panic, and it took him a long time to get up.

"Divine punishment! It is divine punishment, it is the great god of flames, Medius, who has sent down divine punishment!" Wu Ke immediately shouted as soon as he got up.

"Divine punishment?" I smiled, gently rubbing the small pinch of black powder in my palm.

Two days ago, at Fort St. Luz Godda, I gave the Judge the secret recipe for the preparation of this gunpowder, and I gave him the order that within two days, twenty barrels of this gunpowder should be prepared and buried under the gates of Paravon, and if I really could not break through the gates of Paravon, I would simply blow them up!

The reason why I have not taken this step is because if this happens, the person who lit the fire will definitely not survive, and the Dark Judgment in Paravon will be almost lost.

But I went this way anyway.

I looked at everyone in stunned, including Sephiroth. I sneered, stood up, and said, "Look, this is a punishment that the gods are not accustomed to seeing the Svadians, and have sent down punishment to help me Emmons purify those who do not respect the gods!

Even the most stupid people know what to do now.

Wuke was the first to laugh wildly, reached out and held the double-headed axe that had been behind his back in his hand, and roared: "Sons, follow me into Parabun, and allow you to wash the city for three days!"

I immediately felt that something was wrong, but I held back as I watched the dark warriors roaring like beasts and rushing away with the light of their swords in a flickering rage.

Then, the always polite and gentle Tex also went crazy, and he threw away his iron-smelting pot helmet, drew the broad-bladed sword at his waist and roared: "Rush into Parabun and burn the Svadia Palace!

The Eyes of Death, who had been lying in ambush in the long grass without saying a word, actually roared and ran wildly, as if the impulses they had been suppressing were all unleashed at this moment.

They merged into a raging torrent of darkness and set to run towards Paraven, a mile away in the fiery and ruin-strewn land.

Paraven has finally ushered in its own street fighting!
