Chapter 252: Taking the City
Stewart and his squad walked into Linz without even being questioned and inspected, and everything went smoothly to Stewart's inexplicable feeling that such a country and such a soldier deserved to be destroyed and ruled. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
It wasn't until a pillar of purple smoke rose in the distance between heaven and earth, like a twisting dragon, that the soldiers defending Linz City realized that something seemed to be wrong, but it was too late, and Stewart, who was already ready to attack, led a small group of rose cavalry like a tiger into a flock, wantonly slashing and killing these bewildered soldiers.
The soldiers had probably never been on the battlefield or experienced much of a battle, until Stewart rushed into the crowd and killed the captain of the guard, and the blood splattered everywhere made the soldiers react.
"Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!" What Stewart and the Rose Knights did not expect was that the superior Lorraine soldiers did not besiege them, but like frightened rabbits, they threw down their weapons and fled, throwing the empty gates to the enemy behind them, and only took care of their own lives.
The rumbling of horses' hooves approached in the distance, and even the inhabitants near the city gates could sense the danger from the shaking of the ground. Captain Sidney led her rose knights into the city through the open gate, and when she saw the knights of Stewart, she asked strangely, "What's going on? Are we late? Are the people of Linz also fleeing north?"
Sturtu shook his head a little blankly, and said in the somewhat impatient eyes of the Commander of the Sidney Army: "Things are going well and a little strange, I just shot and killed an officer, and those Lorraine people ran away like rabbits, and then you came." β
"Aha!" After listening to the words of the Stuartu knight, Sidney nodded in realization: "This is the typical Lorraine soldier style, without the magician, there will be no war." Alright, cheer up, let's take down the town hall of Linz, there must be a magician stationed there, ready for a tough battle!"
Under the arrangement of the Sidney Legion, the Rose Knights divided some of their men to seize the four city gates, while the others followed the Sidney Legion Commander to the city's town hall. At this time, the consuls of Linz had just received the news that the city gates had been lost.
When the Rose Knights surrounded the town hall, they found that a large number of Lorraine soldiers and magicians had gathered here. With the support of the magician, those Lorraine soldiers lost their previous cowardice, and they dared to confront each other with guns in the face of the approaching rose knights.
"Hehehe, do you still have to resist stubbornly, even if you are surrounded by our Rose Knights, will you not surrender?" asked Captain Sidney, approaching the town hall from the encirclement of the Rose Knights, with a haughty gesture.
"Phew, Parisians, you invaders, you are also a Knights, what is the skill of a despicable and shameless sneak attack!" an older mage shouted from the crowd, but it was clear from his slightly naΓ―ve words that this was a pedantic academic mage, not a battlemage who specialized in combat.
"Ah~!You don't know yet, do you?" said the Legion Commander Sidney with a pretended surprise of surprise, "Hasn't the news of the fall of the King of Lorraine yet arrived?
Captain Sidney's questioning made the Lorrainians present feel embarrassed, and many of them couldn't help but turn back to look at the old mage, who had insisted on refusing to believe the words of the people who had fled from the south, thinking that they were all alarmist and trying to disturb the people's hearts, even if many officials of the town hall left their posts and chose to flee, the old mage insisted that everyone believe in the royal family of Lorraine. But now looking at the situation in front of you, if you had followed those officials earlier, maybe you wouldn't have to fight with the Parisians.
Being watched by the soldiers with complaining eyes, the old mage's face turned red, but in an instant, he became angry and said: "We have been loyal to the royal family of Lorraine for generations, how can we leave our posts and run for our lives alone! Even if I die, I want you Parisians to be buried together." β
After speaking, the old mage raised the staff in his hand, and several fireballs the size of a human head flew towards the Captain of the Sidney Legion. Looking at the approaching fireballs, and seeing the air around him being burned and distorted, Captain Sidney unhurriedly drew two thin swords from his slender waist, and swung his arms like butterflies piercing flowers to continuously cut through the fireballs in front of him.
A series of fireballs were like punctured airbags, completely losing their explosive properties, and in a few flashes they were split and annihilated by the rapier. When the old mage saw that his proud magic was so easily cracked by this female knight, the pupils in his eyes shrank, and he exclaimed, "Magic sword?"
After the Legion Commander Sidney cracked the fireball, he looked at the surprised old mage proudly, and the corners of his mouth curved into a playful arc: "The master magic sword of the elf clan, this is the treasure of His Majesty Emperor Paris, your vision is not bad! β
The old mage said with a solemn expression: "As long as I have a breath left, I will never let you occupy this city!"
"Then there's no need to talk about it!" Captain Sidney sighed softly, shook his head lightly and ordered, "I'll leave it to you below, deal with them as soon as possible!"
Commanded by Captain Sidney, the rose knights rushed towards the soldiers of the town hall as if they had been beaten to the bridle. The Lorraine soldiers also knew that when it came to life and death, they could not afford to be afraid and cower, and they had the courage to shout and rush forward with their guns. One after another, auxiliary magic fell into the formation of the Lorraine soldiers, bringing them various auxiliary effects, and more importantly, giving them enough confidence to support the battle below.
As soon as the soldiers of the two sides came into contact, countless blood sprays were splashed, and the soldiers on both sides fought to the death, and occasionally flashed magic in the crowd, helping the Lorraine soldiers to defend against the powerful Rose Knight of Paris.
In the face of the fierce battle, Captain Sidney had a feeling of boredom, fighting with these Lorraine soldiers had the feeling of adults bullying children, and there was really no sense of accomplishment. But at this moment, a knight galloped from the direction of the South Gate, and when he saw the commander of the Sidney Legion, he shouted: "The evacuation team of the King of Lorraine has been found at the South Gate!
Hearing this shout, the pretty face of the Captain Sidney was immediately pulled down, eager to slash the knight's foul mouth with a sword. Just as Captain Sidney feared, the Lorraine soldiers and magicians who heard the news burst out with unprecedented strength, forcing even the Rosenkavaliers who had been in their upper position to retreat.
