Chapter 36: Renault's Crisis
The five Buck brothers, now Buck, Anke, Boone, and Gates have all reached the ninth level, and they all have the strength of the Holy Domain after transformation. And the third black shark is only one step away, and it may break through at any time. Among the five brothers, Buck, Gates, and Black Shark have learned how to lift weights.
"After my brother's wedding, I set off for the Realm of Chaos, and with the help of the five Buck brothers, things will be much easier. Lin Lei's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
In the future, in the realm of chaos, the life of facing off against the Holy See of Light, Lin Lei was already a little impatient in his heart.
In addition to the surprise that Boone reached level nine among the five Buck brothers, everyone in Earl's Court was also looking forward to the upcoming wedding banquet, and Wharton was smiling every day.
This time, Wharton and Nina's wedding banquet was held in the palace, and the excitement will be far greater than that of the engagement. Secluded courtyard.
After finishing his cultivation, Lin Lei sat at the stone table, turned over his hand and took out a bottle of fruit wine, and looked thoughtfully ahead while drinking. Looking at Lin Lei's appearance, he was obviously thinking about things.
Bei Bei's small eyes secretly glanced at Lin Lei.
"Whoosh. Bei Bei suddenly rushed to Lin Lei's table.
Lin Lei was frightened by Beibei: "Beibei, what are you doing?"
Bei Bei stood upright, with a pair of front paws wrapped around his chest, and looked at Lin Lei with a scrutinizing gaze: "According to my Bei Bei's vision, I found that you are the boss...... Si Chun!"
Bei Bei also said in a very certain tone.
Lin Lei couldn't cry or laugh: "I'm thinking of my good brothers." After a while, it will be Wharton's wedding. But Yale's boss, second, and fourth, they can't make it......"
Lin Lei let out a long sigh.
"I don't know how the three of them are doing now. "The three good brothers Yale, Renault, and George do have a lot of weight in Lin Lei's heart, and the depth of their feelings is like that of his own brothers.
Renault is having a bad time now, after a short vacation. He returned to the team again. Even if he knew about the battle between Lin Lei and Hudson, he didn't have a chance to watch it.
Because he is a soldier and must obey discipline. Although Renault is a good man, when he is in the army, he is definitely a man who obeys orders and says everything.
On the border of the southeastern province of the O'Brien Empire, the area south of Neil City is the area bordering the Roo Empire, and this area is also one of the most chaotic places.
The Roo Empire is located south of the Realm of Chaos and west of the Far Eastern Prairie.
Fought against the steppe cavalry for a long time. The folk customs of the Luo Empire are also extremely strong, and this cavalry army is even more famously powerful. The Roo Empire, along with the O'Brien Empire, is in the area south of Neal City. There were also quite a few battles. The blood of war. It made the dirt in the countryside turn dark red.
"Whew!" "Whew!" The wind howled, bending the half-human highland weeds, through which dozens of horses could be seen drinking from the brook in the distance.
Dozens of knights were sitting on the ground resting, and a few more were on guard around them.
At this moment, Renault was leaning against a dead tree, his eyes were looking around like a falcon, and Renault in the army was completely different from usual, he was wearing dark blue armor at this time. There was a golden flame on his chest. This represents: He is a member of the Golden Flame Legion, an elite legion of the O'Brien Empire.
His standard armor also illustrates his rank - captain.
Renault took out a pocket watch from his bosom and looked at the time: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon." By five o'clock, everyone else should have arrived. ”
"Your Excellency. A blue-haired knight walked over and said with a smile, "Now that the Luo Empire has not fought with our empire, you say that we have been so vigilant for a long time, is it a waste of energy?" Renault frowned.
"Yes. The blue-haired knight immediately stopped laughing.
The cavalry brigade led by Renault was of a low formation, with three squadrons and a total of 900 men. And now the 18 teams have been separated to patrol, and the team led by Renault is also the most powerful team in his own area.
It has been ** years since he entered the army, and Renault has also climbed up step by step from an ordinary soldier.
"Although the Roo Empire, with our O'Brien Empire, has not been at war for more than ten years. But in normal times, there are still few small movements? In this kind of messy fighting on the border, more than 10,000 soldiers die in the empire every year. Renault said solemnly, "And according to my estimate, there has not been a major war for such a long time, and compared to the population of the Roao Empire, which has reached a limit, they are probably in dire need of a war." So, we have to be small
The meaning of war is simple.
The population is large, and there is not enough land and food. The empire will naturally take the initiative to start a war, otherwise there will be turmoil within the empire, and when both empires have a large number of people killed and wounded, there are fewer people, and there is enough land, it will naturally stop the war.
In fact, this is the most basic meaning.
After all, for ordinary people, the most basic thing is just eating, drinking, and sheltering.
"Yes, my lord, we'll be careful. The blue-haired knight laughed.
"By the way, my lord, your classmate at the Ernst Academy of Magic and Wizardry, Master Lin Lei, heard that the battle with Lord Hedson was a dead end?" said the blue-haired knight in a low voice.
Renault couldn't help but laugh when he heard his subordinates talk about Lin Lei.
"It's just that because the fighting spirit is not as good as the other party, I just lost a little. Renault said indifferently, Renault still had some regrets in his heart, he didn't even watch the life-and-death battle of his good brother.
Looking back at the west, the blazing sun made Renault squint, and his good brother Lin Lei was in the imperial capital of the west.
"In a little more than a year, the ten-year period will expire. I'm leaving the army. Renault sighed in his heart.
After more than eight years of military life, Renault has really liked the army, but Renault also knows the family's regulations, family regulations, family disciples have joined the army for ten years, if they reach the level of division commander and deputy division commander. Then you will always be in the army in the future, and if you don't reach it, you must go back to the family.
Renault is now the captain of the group, and he is one step away.
However, although Renault prefers the army, he does not want to be in the army for the rest of his life. He still wanted to practice magic quietly, and now he was a seventh-level magician. After another hundred years of penance, there is also a chance to reach the ninth level of the Great Demon Guide.
While quietly waiting, the various teams gradually converged here, around 4:50 p.m. Four hundred people have gathered here. Five hundred people did not arrive.
"Huh?" Renault frowned.
He suddenly had a sense of crisis, as if an invisible killing machine was lurking towards them, Renaud was a magician with strong mental power. This kind of induction is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
"Be careful!" Renault suddenly snorted.
"Yes. My lord. The knights around him answered, but at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves approached at great speed from a distance.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" the mournful voice pierced the quiet sky.
Almost all the knights reacted very quickly, grabbed their spears and shields on their arms, and rushed towards their horses one by one. But at this moment, sharp arrows were thrown from a distance.
"Whoa!" "Whoa......
The arrows of extreme speed suddenly swept through the sky like locusts, and all the knights immediately knelt down half-kneeling and at the same time protected themselves with shields, and the nearest knights immediately approached each other.
The Imperial Shield is of good quality. In wartime, it is impossible for a bow and arrow to shoot through. Indeed, many arrows were shot at the shield, causing the shield to vibrate. The arrows were powerless to fall, but there were more than a dozen arrows, but they seemed to pierce the paper.
"Poof!"
An arrow pierced the shield with great speed, and then stabbed directly into the head of one of the knights, and the brain overflowed.
When Renault saw this scene, his heart ached, this knight was his personal guard, and he had been with him for six years. After six years of getting along day and night, the relationship is naturally deep, but Renault instantly judged: "Hundreds of meters away, but shooting through the shield, is definitely a master, a seventh-level or eighth-level warrior." And there are quite a few of them.
"Boom" When everyone in the distance approached, the sound of horses' hooves became clear. The group was wearing gray armor, and the horses' hooves were also wrapped in cloth.
In front of this group, a dozen blood-stained knights fled.
"Rosie. Renault's face changed, and the dozen or so knights belonged to his brigade.
"My lord, let's go, there are thousands of people, hurry-ah!" A blood-stained knight rushed quickly from the side, but in the blink of an eye, an arrow pierced his throat.
"Kill, don't leave a single one behind!" a cold voice sounded from afar.
"Withdraw!"
Renault shouted, there are thousands of enemies, and he only has a few hundred, plus the other party's sneak attack, and the opponent's team is obviously elite, and there are many seventh- and eighth-level warriors.
What's more, their duty is to patrol, and the news must be passed back.
The surviving knights immediately jumped on their horses, maybe the other party was also greedy for these hundreds of horses, and the arrows just now were all aimed at the knights, and the horses did not lose anything. Dao quickly escaped, nearly 400 people began to escape, but at this moment there were only more than 100 people left, this is still the result of Renault using magic to scare the other party, at the same time as the escape, Renault also silently recited the magic spell.
Suddenly, with Renault as the center, it formed a fan-shape, and eight flames like giant war knives rushed in all directions. The eight sword flames rushed directly into the cavalry ranks that were pursuing in the rear.
Fire Magic-Flame Slash!"Snort" The blazing flames slashed at a knight, and the knight immediately screamed, his armor melted rapidly, and his whole body turned into charcoal in the blink of an eye. The surrounding meadows also burned again, and the cavalry contingent behind had to slow down.
"Chase, chase!!" The leader with the yellow hair glared angrily at Renault in the distance.
If it weren't for the magician in the distance, they would have killed all of them. But this magician, especially now that it is autumn, the weeds are all withered and yellow, and they are burning at one point. And as soon as it was burned, it was a large area, which completely blocked their pursuit.
Mana is not endless.
Renault didn't dare to send seventh-level magic at all, he sent sixth-level magic. But even so, the mana in Renault's body is now completely consumed.
What the Roao Empire is still pursuing, is only a squadron of three hundred people. However, there are more than a dozen seventh-level masters in this squadron alone. Clearly the most elite team. Among the remaining nearly 100 people on his side, there was only one seventh-level warrior, plus one seventh-level magician.
"Neal City, see Neil City!" one of the knights shouted.
"Neil City!" Renault looked at the blurred silhouette in the distance, and his eyes were full of hope. Riding even more desperately.
"Whew!" another arrow shot from behind, the exhausted Renault tried to dodge again, and at the same time raised the shield to resist, only to hear a pop, the arrow grazed the edge of the shield and pierced Renault's shoulder, the powerful penetrating force actually made the extremely tired Renault's body shake at the moment, and almost fell off the horse.
After running for more than two hours, it was now dark.
There are quite a few warriors guarding the walls of Neal City, and there seem to be some nobles on it who don't know what they are doing.
"Open the city gate, quickly, behind are the people of the Roao Empire. Kill them!!" Renault roared loudly.
In the blink of an eye, Renault and dozens of other knights who were seriously injured and survived ran to the outside of Neil City, but the gate was never opened.
"Boom!" an arrow shot directly at the nobles on the city walls.
"Don't open it, don't open the gates!" a shrill voice came from above, "shoot me arrows, shoot the enemy." ”
The squadron of the Luo Empire stopped out of range, and more than a dozen of them jumped off their horses and rushed directly under the city walls. The arrows above, they easily dodged, and these dozen or so people had a fighting aura on their surfaces.
Powerful warriors.
"Kill that magician. The leader of the dozen or so people stared at Renault, and he chased him all the way to hunt down Renault. A magician without mana, that's too weak.
Renault had no resistance at all.
"Open the door!" Renault and the other group of knights were completely desperate. Although there are dozens of them, there are only a dozen people on the other side. can just look at the other party's vindictiveness, the big man at the head can kill all of them.
