Volume 1, Chapter 95: The Great Melee of Maltis (7)

Previous Chapter

At ten o'clock in the evening, the 3rd Independent Combat Brigade of the Blood Moon Legion entered Maltis through the 6th City Gate and encountered the 3rd Combat Brigade of the City Guard, which was waiting for work.

In this battle, the Blood Moon Legion fully demonstrated the strength of the four main forces of the Ottoman Empire, and they crushed the enemy head-on under the cover of seven accompanying battle mages.

It only took twenty minutes to break through the three lines of defense of the Second Combat Brigade of the City Guard, and they lost their armor.

The City Guard, under the leadership of Colonel Rams, the commander of the 2nd Operations Brigade, took advantage of the gap in the adjustment of the formation of the Blood Moon Legion, quickly gathered the rout, and organized a fourth line of defense along the streets, in an attempt to engage the Blood Moon Legion in a street battle.

But the Blood Moon Legion cleared the way with the Thunder Lizard heavy cavalry, the battle mages covered, and the heavy infantry guards and archers advanced layer by layer, and after ten minutes, completely crushed the last resistance of the city guards.

Just as the Blood Moon Legion was about to march in, they happened to meet the Knights of the Holy Cross who were rushing to Blackbrier.

The 3rd Independent Combat Brigade of the Blood Moon Legion has more than 10,000 people and is composed of several types of troops, including heavy cavalry, light cavalry, mobile scouts, heavy infantry, archers, and battle mage regiments, and has all-terrain combat capabilities.

The Knights of the Holy Cross of the Church only have two professions, Holy Knight and Battle Priest, with less than two thousand people, but the strength of all members is more than three levels, extremely well-equipped, and equipped with six kinds of blessings of the main god level, and the combat power of individual soldiers is several times that of the Blood Moon Legion.

The unexpected encounter between the two successful armies was a surprise to both sides at first, but they were both experienced and powerhouses after a short period of probing, and after a short period of probing, they found that they could not immediately pass through the streets controlled by the other side and complete their strategic mission.

As a result, the two armies adjusted their tactics almost simultaneously and began to attack with all their might, and the intensity of this battle was completely different from the previous one.

The battle spread to several neighborhoods, and a large number of homes caught fire and collapsed, leaving awakened citizens unable to hide and panicking in all directions.

In order to prevent their own formations from being scattered, both sides refused to allow civilians to pass through their lines, and even raised butcher knives to kill on a large scale in order to control the situation as quickly as possible.

Thousands of innocent civilians were either killed in the chaos or forced back into the fire and burned alive. For a time, several neighborhoods that were the battlefield were strewn with corpses and rivers of blood, and the sounds of killing, cursing, wailing, and crying resounded throughout Maltis.

Many of them were burned beyond recognition, but their lives were still alive on the ground, struggling and crawling, and their children were crying and screaming in horror around them, like a terrifying scene of purgatory on earth, which was shocking.

The Blood Moon Legion and the Knights of the Holy Cross each have their own advantages, their combat power is equal, and they have both received death orders, so it is impossible for them to retreat first, so it is difficult for the two sides to distinguish the winner in a short period of time, and the battle is scorching.

At this time, Franco, the Minister of the Interior of the Empire, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and in the name of thieves, he sent private troops to capture the No. 3 vault of the Imperial Central Bank, and quickly looted the finances worth more than three million gold coins.

This move was like throwing a little spark in the oil, which immediately ignited the selfish desires of the major nobles, led by the six major families, and the nobles with a little strength sent their own private soldiers one after another and began to make a fortune in the chaos.

The whole of Maltyston was in turmoil.

And where the battle first began, the flames of war gradually spread, starting from the main entrance of the Black Rose and extending to six or seven blocks nearby.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the city guards finally routed Duke Calus's private soldiers and entered the Black Rose Annex.

The remnants of the guards, with the help of reinforcements, continued to put up fierce resistance within the Black Rose. Due to the complex terrain and chaotic scenes, the city guards who rushed into the Black Rose were completely scattered and disrupted, and the battlefields were transformed into small warbands.

Although the battlefield was divided into countless small pieces, the scale of the battle was not weakened in the slightest. Within the Black Rose, there were as many as five or six warbands of Saint Rank masters alone, and the fighting of ordinary soldiers could be seen everywhere.

And if someone can have a bird's-eye view of the whole city from the night sky, they will find that the black rose at this time has been surrounded by dense battlefields, three layers inside and three layers outside.

To add insult to injury, the siege of Black Rose by the city guards became fragmented as the battlefield was divided, and some noble private soldiers with special purposes took the opportunity to intervene and mingle with both sides of the war, causing the scene to spiral out of control.

A small group of elite men in black took advantage of this turbulence and also sneaked to the Black Rose Annex, their number was less than twenty, but each of them had several pieces of mid-level magic equipment, and their strength was above level three.

The team managed to bypass several warbands and make their way into the main building of Black Rose.

The leading girl gently ripped off the black veil covering her face, revealing a face as cold as moonlight. She has blonde hair, skin like congealed cream, and a beautiful face, which is actually Mick's old acquaintance, Erica, the pearl of the Beckman family.

Erica listened to the shouts and killings coming from the building from time to time, and frowned, "Conrad, where are those emissaries of the Aisha Alliance?"

The man who followed closely behind her also ripped off the black veil from his face, and sure enough, it was Conrad's obnoxious guy.

He took out a magic compass from his bosom, studied it carefully for a while, and said with certainty: "They are still hiding in this building, there is no mistake, we must catch them before the forces of all parties find them." ”

"It's just a few clowns, why are we taking such a big risk to wade into this troubled water?"

"Although they are just a bunch of clowns, they are the key to Maltisse's mess, and if you catch them, you will be taking the initiative into your own hands.

When the time comes, whether it is the Second Highness Otto or the Third Highness Calus, they will have to act according to Beckman's face. And Ludwig, if they want to keep His Second Highness, they must also tie up our chariot. ”

After listening to Conrad's explanation, Erica shook her head: "I still think your plan to unite with Ludwig is too radical, but at this point, we have no other choice, but this Black Rose is full of Holy Order masters, even if we can find the messengers of the Aisha Alliance, how can we snatch them out?"

Conrad smiled: "The Grand Duke's side is ready, as long as we find those people, we can use the magic communicator to send out the coordinates, and then there will naturally be a large number of masters who will come through the portal to grab people, so we don't have to fight ourselves." ”

"Okay......" Erica nodded, but suddenly saw two figures in the annex building from a distance through the window, and said in surprise: "Huh, Conrad, look at that woman, I feel very familiar, like I've seen her somewhere." ”

At the junction of the Holy City and the Imperial Capital, the knight Mario rode his war horse all the way and stopped in front of a large number of blasphemous reapers, he turned over and dismounted, hurriedly rushed to the leader and knelt down, and said urgently: "Your Excellency the Thirty-sixth Night's Watch, the Sage should be in the Black Rose Annex. ”

The original Templar, the new thirty-sixth night watchman, Kranas, had a cold expression, he waved his hand lightly behind him, and said lukewarmly, "Let's go, go and get that Sage Miss out." ”

After saying that, more than forty red-robed blasphemous reapers blew towards the Black Rose Annex like a gust of wind.
