Chapter 482: Play
"Defend, defend, damn! Musketeers come forward, artillery in position! Let the auxiliaries push the oil and wood up!"
The hoarse roar of the defenders collided back and forth on the walls of the border city, the trumpets and drums sounded in unison, and the signal of the enemy's attack resounded throughout the border city.
Even if he was reluctant, he had to defend the section of the wall for which he was responsible, or even if he was lucky enough not to die on the wall, the Earl of Parrington would be slashed along with his new mistress.
"Don't panic, the dragon is with you, brave warriors, the time has come to show your courage! These wicked and ugly dead creatures dare to walk the earth in broad daylight, and send them back to Hell with your piety and fury, where they should be!"
At this time, Raymond actually boosted his morale like a poem recitation.
However, I don't know why, although Elson did launch a siege as he wanted, and the Parrington army was forced to fight, which was indeed what he wanted, but in the deepest part of his heart, a sense of unease inexplicably rose, as if something would change out of his control.
"Fuck you old god stick!"
The commander of the city guarded the city in his heart to reckon with Raymond's immediate family and all the women in the next-door neighborhood, but he had to make a sincere expression of fear on his face to persuade Raymond to leave the city wall quickly, because it was too dangerous here.
God knows how the Earl would have agreed to imprison those Spartacians in the border city, and to allow these gods to enter the city, if not to set themselves on fire.
The general scolded again and again, while scolding more urgently urging the city defense army to speed up into the corner tower and the various battlements, and the muzzles and muzzles of countless black holes were aimed at the city in unison, just waiting for the corpse witch army to enter the attack range, and it was immediately a symphony of artillery fire and gunsmoke.
And Raymond really did not disappoint everyone, after pretending to express that he wanted to advance and retreat with the warriors of the border city, because he really couldn't stand the kind words and persuasion of the general, and suddenly remembered that there were still extremely important things waiting for him to go back to deal with, after singing a false double reed with a clear eye, he finally walked down to the city.
But fortunately, Raymond is still a person who has a beginning and an end, and he did not completely forget his promise because he was in a hurry to go back to deal with important affairs, under his order, Dylan will take the accompanying chaplain group to stay behind to assist the defenders of the border city to resist the strong enemy, regardless of the size of the force, how much is a mind, but the face of Dylan, who was named, immediately exploded like his own mother, and after the general, he greeted the eighteenth generation of Raymond's ancestors in his heart.
I don't know what kind of sin his ancestors had, and in less than half an hour, he was dug up twice in succession.
"What's going on, why is there a sudden siege!?"
It was also at this time that the voice of Parrington, which had not appeared for a long time, finally appeared at the end of the road to the city, and Raymond, who was about to leave in a hurry, happened to meet each other.
If this was in Spartacus, if Parrington was the general of the Holy Knights under the jurisdiction of the Temple, Raymond was afraid that he would immediately jump up and ask him if he had crawled over, but unfortunately this was the border city, and Parrington was the real boss, and the other party's clothes were also clean and spotless, without any traces of mud.
"Lord Earl has a good mind, he is not in a hurry or slow in dispatching in the middle of the heavy army, and he is worthy of being a veteran general who has almost unified the leader of the Eri people after a long battle. ”
The words were flattering, but the mockery in Raymond's words was unmistakable.
Ignoring Raymond's provocation, Parrington looked at the defending general for the first time, he received the news that the other party would only besiege and not attack, so he would always avoid it because he didn't want to wade into this troubled water, and he had already ordered someone to inform the guards of the gates of the news, and strictly ordered anyone not to make any provocative moves, otherwise there would be no mercy, but his order was only issued less than half an hour later, and the siege horn came from the west side, and he was shocked and angry, and he couldn't sit in the earl's palace.
"This ...... This ......"
The general guarding the city trembled and walked to Parrington's side and knelt down with a puff, Raymond hadn't left yet, he naturally couldn't accuse the temple elder of deliberately provoking in front of the other party, and even if he said it, it was useless, Raymond's identity was there, not to mention that Parrington couldn't really treat him, and at the same time that the earl's anger increased, Raymond could only wipe it clean as long as he defended the dragon's holy name, so he could only stare at Raymond's back with a faint resentment, and then leaned down and waited for disposal.
Who was Parrington? I could guess what was going on from the information contained in the general's eyes, these people were old men who had followed him for many years, and it was impossible for them to disobey his orders for no reason and without such courage, and it must have been a good thing for Raymond to get to this point.
With this in mind, when Parrington looked at Raymond again, the glint in his eyes had dropped several layers.
"Elder Raymond, although I intend to make friends with Spartacus, but you have also seen the current situation, the army of the border city is weak, and it is unable to stop such a terrifying army of the undead, please take the mission out of the city from the south gate quickly, I will arrange for the cavalry regiment to assist you in breaking through, after you leave, I will try my best to hold on for a while longer to delay the enemy for you, and then I will choose to surrender. ”
Not to mention that this is politics or conspiracy, at least it is a game between smart people, Parrington does not have the slightest intention of accusing Raymond of blaming others, but in and out of his words, he still expresses himself completely for the sake of the other party, and they have saved enough face for each other to see each other in the future, but in fact they are already giving an eviction order.
"Surrender?"
Raymond sneered, but after seeing Parrington's fearless expression, his next mocking words did not speak, obviously, since Parrington said such a thing, then he was absolutely sure that Elson would not embarrass him, I am afraid that in some dark corner, some kind of deal has already been reached between Parrington and Sandru, and the reason why they were not handed over is just because there are not enough chips.
Even Raymond thought of a possibility, that is, these people are not important to Sandru at all, so it doesn't matter if they are let go, there is only one person Adela that Elson wants from beginning to end, thinking of this, Raymond's heart is immediately full of resentment, but at this time, he is helpless under the roof of Palington, and he is about to go down the city after crossing Pallington after snorting coldly.
"Elder, stay still. However, just as Raymond's figure was about to disappear under the road to the city, there was a sudden soft drink from behind him, and he frowned and looked back, but what he saw was still an expressionless face.
"One thing I would like to inform you about the prisoners in the dungeon, I have been transferred to another guard, this is also one of the guarantees for your safe departure, then, have a good trip. ”
After saying this, Parrington didn't look at Raymond's expression that instantly became gloomy and turned around and walked up to the city wall, he said that the notice was really just a notice, and he didn't mean to discuss it with Raymond at all.
"You!" Raymond was about to bite his two thick back molars when he heard this, and the necromantic siege of Parrington did not appear for a long time, it turned out that he had arranged this matter, and there was no doubt that he had colluded with Sandru for a long time, and what was even more hateful was that Parrington did not shy away from him in this matter, and did not take them in his eyes at all.
Now it seems that in order to show off and pressure Palrington, the other party agreed to detain Adela and the others in the city and allow the mission to enter the city.
When everything was clear, Raymond looked at the battlefield under the city, a sneer with deep resentment appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that the undead had begun to attack the city, and the counterattack of the defenders of the border pass city was also fierce and abnormal, but from the siege road ordered by Elson, the corpse witch legion only advanced dozens of steps forward, and the artillery fire of the border pass city was also pouring into the area where the dead were scarce.
"Don't you want to leave, Lord Raymond, if you continue to delay, even I can't guarantee that you will be able to leave when the undead army invades the city. ”
Glancing back at Raymond still standing on the road to the city and staring at him hatefully, Parrington didn't care, but smiled kindly as if he didn't know anything.
Raymond wanted to say something, but Parrington didn't give him this chance at all, but as if to cooperate with him, the attack of the corpse witch army under the city suddenly became fierce, and the cloud of death emitting a heavy corpse smell began to envelop the city of the border pass in a large area, and the soldiers in the many corner towers were only a little contaminated, and they rushed out of the hiding place with their palms in pain by choking their throats, and then soon their fingernails buckled off their necks, faces, and all their bare skin, and pieces of dark green and even disgusting mucus dripping with rotten flesh, and finally smashed themselves into the sea of death below the city like a rolling log。
As a last resort, the defenders of the border city fought harder, and the oil and rolling stones were poured down into the city through a pair of red eyes and bulging arms, and the roar of artillery and muskets was as dense as a thunderstorm in June.
The hatred in Raymond's eyes grew cold when he saw this, and then he glanced fiercely at Parrington's vest and walked away with a few priests, and now it was useless for him to say anything more in this situation, but to write down this hatred, and when Sa-Alang returned from the kingdom of God, it would be the day of Parrington's death.
And in front of the wall, which he couldn't see, a cruel smile appeared on Parrington's lips as if he had eyes behind his back.
"Goodbye, and goodbye. ”
Parrington said coldly in a voice that only he could hear.
Not to mention that the soldiers on the city wall were in full swing, in the process of Raymond's return to the mission station, a large number of heavily armed soldiers from the northeast, east and south of the three cities continued to converge towards the city wall of the west city, judging from their nervous expressions, Raymond even had to believe that this war was real, fortunately, Pallington seemed to have already ordered, not only did no one stop Raymond and the others, but when he returned to the station, he found that Pallington had sent a cavalry team of two hundred people as promised.
Although the cavalry captain was very polite to say that he was ordered to escort him, after the confrontation on the city walls, this behavior was obviously a surveillance and expulsion in Raymond's eyes.
There was nothing to sort out, and the mission was only fifty or sixty in total, and all of them were temple priests, and although Raymond had a natural condescension and contempt for the heretics outside of the dragon's divine light, he still adhered to a simple style as a clergyman.
It only took about an hour, along with the paperwork and letter scrolls and other things, and now all I can do is to follow the cavalry team to tear a gap from the south gate and break through, I don't know if this is also agreed between Elson and Parrington, the encirclement on the south gate is obviously much weaker, and Raymond and the others are all battle priests, in this case, the possibility of breaking out of the encirclement is still very large.
The good news is that just as Raymond was leading people out of the garrison and preparing to set off for the southern city, Dylan suddenly rushed up with a dozen priests out of breath, because the Earl of Parrington was worried that Elder Raymond would not have enough strength to break through the siege, and Dylan and the others were official Spartacus priests after all, because he couldn't bear the damage of the war in the border city, so he didn't have to stay on the city wall to rush back to support Elder Raymond immediately.
Of course, Dylan raised his hands in favor of this decision, and ran back with a grease on the soles of his feet without even pretending to excuse himself, the army of the undead all over the mountains felt that he would be shrouded in death even if he looked at it more, and he was unwilling to stay on the city wall for a second.
And Raymond only snorted coldly after listening to Dylan's story, because the cavalry captain was beside him, of course he would not be grateful for Palrington's 'kindness', but at this time, a little more strength is also a little more security for him, so he didn't say anything and let Dylan return to the team, and a group of nearly 300 people headed towards the south city under the clouds of the city.
"My lord, they left. ”
On the city walls, after Palrington had shot a corpse witch in the head to the point that only a jet-black spine remained, a man dressed as a captain suddenly came up behind him from the road to the city.
"It's all arranged?"
Parrington didn't look back, and raised his hand to blow up the heads of several corpse witches who had burst into the city, and he hadn't touched his accessories and bow for a long time since he had received the weapon called the musket from Lear.
Grandma's, what the hell is in Lear's kid's head, how can he develop such a useful thing, if all my army can be equipped with muskets and artillery, not to mention Skelly and Grote, the whole of Eri is mine, Parrington thought to himself with a lot of unpleasant feelings, and then raised the muzzle of the gun again and began to search for a new target.
"Yes, it has been arranged, as soon as they leave the border city...... "The captain replied cautiously, but he was only halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by a shout full of righteousness.
"Shut up!"
Parrington suddenly turned his head, his eyes burning with a righteous and awe-inspiring flame: "I repeat, we don't know anything, the border city is now besieged by the necromancy and has nothing to do with us!"
"Yes...... Be...... I remember, I don't know anything......"
The captain immediately nodded in agreement, and Parrington nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gun and continued to fight bloodily.
A bright moon suddenly appeared on the horizon, confronting the falling sun, and the clear light sprinkled was like a cold shroud.
......
