Chapter 456: Stupidity
Although the Knights of the Holy Judgment recovered from the torment of toxins and Gu worms under the treatment of Cardinal Owen, the damage to morale was irreparable for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It was expected to be under the city of Pritz in two days, but it actually took five days to arrive. It's all because the knights, who were a little frightened of Archduke Pritz's methods, were cautious all the way, and only after Cardinal Owen was furious, did they slowly pick up a little speed.
In fact, it is not a good idea to attack the city of Pritz with the Knights of the Holy Judgment, which Cardinal Owen himself admits.
With a long history of nearly 1,000 years, the Knights of Light is a comprehensive legion that integrates the main combat corps composed of knights, archers, pikemen and other auxiliary legions, and can be competent for this combat mode including field combat, defense, and attack.
And the Knights of the Holy Judgment were founded to purge and judge those evil infidels, and the legions are almost all knights who are pure and watery, and they are extremely good at field warfare and pursuit, but when it comes to siege, do you want those knights to jump off their horses and climb ladders?
A full set of knight's armor plus a burly ruling knight weighs nearly three hundred pounds, what pair of ladders can withstand such a toss from the knights?
Let the knights change into leather armor? Let's not say whether the knights are willing or not, but if the protection is not in place and a lot of sacrifice is caused, it will be enough for Captain Larry Harold to feel distressed. A knight is not as cheap as those cannon fodder warriors, a qualified knight can be cultivated after more than ten or even decades of hard training, and if it is senselessly lost on the city wall, I am afraid that Mr. Larry Harold will be hanged directly by the Inquisition.
"Your Majesty, look at it...... , should we wait for the Knights of Light, after all, they are more suitable for siege warfare. Looking at the towering walls of Pritz in the distance, Larry Harold felt a toothache, which was completely different from what he had imagined before.
"Larry, you can't just give up! You know, there is no fighting power in Pritz City, and there are only a few goblins defending the city at most. Cardinal Owen turned around and looked at Larry Harold as he spoke.
"The Knights of the Duchy of Pritz have been wiped out by Ian and his Knights of Light, and if you can't capture Pritz City as soon as possible before the Knights of Light arrive, then all the merits of this Pritz crusade will be Ian's, and you will never be able to match him. You can do it yourself!"
Cardinal Owen used the Knights of Light to provoke Larry Harold again and again, knowing that Larry Harold had always targeted Ian. Relying on his family's power to become the head of the Knights of the Holy Judgment, Larry Harold has no outstanding talents, but he has unrealistic ambitions.
Trampling the Knights of Light under his feet and becoming the strongest knight in the Cult of Light is an ambition that Larry Harold has never hidden. It is precisely because of this that Cardinal Owen has repeatedly used it and become a sharp blade in his hands.
Hearing the names of the Knights of Light and Ian from Cardinal Owen's mouth repeatedly, Larry Harold clenched his fist tightly with his right hand behind his back, and gritted his teeth tightly, in his proud heart, he always wanted to prove that he was stronger than Ian, and he would never allow him to be compared to Ian.
"Okay! I'll order the squire to attack the city!" said Larry Harold, gritting his teeth, word by word.
Looking at the back of Harold as he went to gather the knights, Cardinal Owen's face faintly showed a contemptuous smile. This idiot really doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he dares to attack the city with knights with a few provocations, isn't he afraid of those knights rebelling with such an order?
Harold didn't know that in fact, Cardinal Owen, whom he trusted deeply, did not regard him as an ally at all, and the reason why he made all the promises to him after becoming the Pope was just to control the Knights of the Holy Judgment.
Even if Harold wasn't smart, at least he had the most basic common sense. Harold did not use the elite knights of the Order of Divine Judgment, but gathered a large number of knightly squires.
Knight squires are the lowest-level force in the human knights, who voluntarily follow in the footsteps of the knights, serve the knights and are also trained by the knights, and dedicate themselves to becoming true knights. It can be said that they are reserve probationary knights.
Among these squires there were also many people who were skilled in martial arts or had outstanding talents, but their origins were not very good, unlike the children of nobles who could become knights as long as they practiced martial arts. It takes a lot of hard work for them to have a glimmer of hope of promotion. And when the squires were gathered together by Harold, the combat effectiveness they could exert should not be underestimated.
A large number of squires were sent out to cut down trees and make the tools needed for the siege, and their every move was clearly seen by the goblins on the walls of Pritz in the distance.
After a few days of recuperation and Feng Xifan's internal force recuperation regardless of the loss, Leo's body has improved greatly, except that the meridians of the whole body are still full of tingling sensation, and there is no way to call on the internal force, there is no obstacle to basic activities.
"My lord, at present, the Knights of the Holy Judgment of the Church of Light have set up camp outside the city, and a large number of attendants are preparing for the siege of the city!" In the conference room of the Grand Duke's Mansion, Momochi Yukishi respectfully reported to Leo on the movements of the enemy army.
"Use the Knights to attack the city?Are these people from the Church of Light brainbroken?Hyakchi Yuishige, are you not mistaken?" After hearing the information of Hyakchi Yushige, Sidney was extremely surprised in his heart, and questioned without thinking.
As soon as Sidney said this, she regretted it herself, and the suspicion of her companion was a sign of distrust, which should not have happened as a knight. Although there was no expression on the face of the veiled face of the Hundred Ground Lucky Warriors, Sidney immediately apologized to him: "I'm sorry, Hundred Ground Lucky Gain, I didn't mean to question you, it's just that the Divine Judgment Knights' approach is really a bit unbelievable!"
Baiji Yushige shook his head forward, bowed his head towards Sidneyveh, and said: "It is said that Larry Harold, the head of the Knights of Divine Judgment, is the eldest son of the Harold family of the Church of Light, the Harold family is a family of priests for generations, whose history can be traced back to the early days of the establishment of the Church of Light, and it is extremely influential in the Church of Light. Larry Harold didn't show any extraordinary talent, and becoming the head of the Knights of the Holy Judgment was a family affair between the Harold family. So, it's not surprising that he would do something stupid. ā
