Chapter 311: The Problem
A bright moon hung high in the night sky, and the moonlight, which was much bigger and brighter than the moon on the earth, reflected the whole earth as if it were day, and in such a rare clear moonlight, the night attack became a joke. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although the physical fitness of the info can't catch up with the adult human, the goblin is stronger than the human in terms of smell, sight, and hearing, plus the bright moonlight, let alone a sneak attack, I'm afraid the knights will be discovered as soon as they leave the city.
In the huge camp not far from the royal city, countless bonfires sometimes rose from a puff of black smoke, sometimes a puff of sparks, and each light and darkness echoed the stars in the sky. The goblin soldier held the roast meat in his hand and cheered and cheered indulgingly, compared to the days in the Badlands and Wastelands, at this time, it was almost as if he had ascended to the kingdom of God, and all goblins felt extremely satisfied.
Being able to follow Master Leo is indeed the right decision, Master Leo is our savior, Kagu vigorously took a bite of the barbecue in his hand, and thought silently in his heart. What if you have to die tomorrow? To be able to enjoy it to the fullest is a hundred times better than to starve to death in the wastelands of the badlands.
In the late summer and early autumn, the wind in the air has slowly cooled a little, but in this slightly cool night sky, two huge figures are constantly flying over the camp, they don't seem to feel the slightest chill in the sky, from time to time a rapid dive, low sharp beak from a certain bonfire to pick up a string of roasted meat, and then flapping its wings to climb quickly. Leaving behind the goblins and debris blown by the blowing of their wings, the goblins got up and flailed their fists at the sky, shouting and cursing in their language, but the royal griffons were unconcerned about enjoying the delicious food on their mouths.
With these two royal griffins, the proud knights of the Parisians were useless, and the powerful and arrogant knights could only walk on their own legs and learn to fight with their feet in the same way that they had always disdained ordinary soldiers.
Looking at the camp in the distance, Captain Karl slammed his fist on the city wall, turned around and pointed to the royal griffin flying in the air and said to several knights under his command: "Go out of the city for a decisive battle? Look at those two beasts, can you control the war horse under your crotch? How can a knight without a war horse fight with others?"
The knights, you look at me, I look at you, and they all bow their heads and are silent. In fact, they also knew these in their hearts, but they really felt suffocated by Leo's arrogance under the city during the day. The death of Captain Norris in battle is an old hatred, and being humiliated by Leo during the day is a new hatred, which makes the arrogant knights not annoyed.
"They don't have siege equipment at all, they are not ready to attack the city at all, we just need to firmly hold this royal city to win, and the royal family of Lorraine can only dream of returning to their homeland and rebuilding the kingdom. We don't need to gamble with our lives, you go back to appease and straighten out your knights, and at this critical moment, no one is allowed to hold back!" Legion Leader Karl explained to several knight captains bitterly, not that he had a good temper, but that now that the Thunder Knights were just established, he, the legion leader, did not have enough control over the knights reorganized from the original Glory Knights, and could only rely on these knights to manage the entire knights for the time being.
The knight captains continued to be silent, and they all understood that Captain Karl was right, although they were still not angry in their hearts, they did not declare it, but only expressed their attitude with silence. The silence of the knight captains stopped Legion Leader Karl's words, and he suddenly felt a little discouraged, these arrogant Knights of Glory have engraved their pride and glory deeply in their blood, it is difficult to be swayed by him, the Legion Leader, the previous Knights of the Wind will not work on them at all.
"Now, I order you to lead your knights to take turns on the city wall to assist the soldiers in the defense, and no one is allowed to act without my orders, and those who violate the order will be punished for treason!" Captain Karl's voice involuntarily raised a lot, since it didn't make sense, then he used his position as a regimental commander to force it down, since these knights valued glory the most, then they would not take a huge risk to disobey the order. As for what to subdue the knights and gain the hearts of the army, those things can wait until the war is over to clean the knights.
The knight captains had no choice but to take orders under the strict orders of Captain Karl, and the situation forced them to obey, but this resentment remained in their hearts.
As the night deepened, the huge figures dancing in the sky were gone, presumably to find a warm and comfortable grassy shrub to rest. The glow of the campfires in the sprawling camp faded, and the goblin soldiers snuggled up to each other in groups, snoring one after another replacing the noise.
Leo summoned a group of generals such as centurion Asgen, hundred generals Mu Feng, Wu Jin, and military marquis Li Gan to discuss how to capture the city of Lorraine. Sidney, unwilling to swing his sword against his former colleagues, offered to go to Swanshin Castle to recruit the former Rose Knights to avoid the battle of the royal city, while Ney had to follow the royal family of Lorraine to protect the people because he was the commander of the Lorraine Janissaries. With two of his wisest generals absent, Leo felt extremely troubled in the face of the sturdy and towering royal city.
"My lord, perhaps we can ask Mage Merlin to come here and use magic to break open the gates, as he did in the battle against Linz. Li Gan, the beggar marquis, came up with an idea, but was immediately denied by Leo: "The situation in the royal city is different from that of Linz City, this royal city has gathered the efforts of countless magicians in Lorraine for hundreds of years, and countless magic runes are engraved on the city walls, and their anti-magic ability is simply outrageous, I'm afraid that Mage Merlin can't break through the city gate as easily as Linz City." ”
"Maybe...... We can use the Royal Griffin to hoist the elite soldiers and fly into the royal city to hide, and launch a surprise attack from inside the royal city to open the gates. The hundred generals rolled their eyes and hit the royal griffon.
"Hmm...... Well, yes, yes, the royal griffin has a strong body, as long as it finds a dark and windy night, it can carry a few people in, but I'm afraid it won't be able to transport many people in one night, and it is still unknown whether it can open the city gate. If it fails, then the people who enter the city will be helpless. Leo groaned slightly, feeling that it was too risky to do so, and it was not worth it.
