Chapter 32: Behind Us Is Erathia!(6)
Leo stayed on the walls for a long time, but there was still calm in the darkness outside the city.
"Your Excellency, Commander, you better rest for a while, we will continue to observe over there, and report to you as soon as there is a situation!" the generals beside him persuaded.
"That will delay the rescue time, the fighters on the battlefield are fleeting!" Leo shook his head.
"Then as soon as the situation is present, we will send heavy cavalry out to meet them!"
"Yes, you have to rest well so that you can keep a clear head and command the battle!"
Leo had no choice but to say, "Okay...... I went to the guard duty room at the city gate to take a nap. Let's take turns to rest. ”
Near dawn, Leo was awakened by a commotion. He hurried out of the guard duty room and climbed the wall in three steps and two steps.
The soldiers in charge of the guard were pointing out the outside of the city and shouting happily. In the darkness of the distance, a fire was already raging.
"It seems that Christine has already succeeded in the sneak attack!" General Leo also became happy: "The Knights of Leo will immediately go out of the city to respond!"
The knights had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as they received the order, they immediately rushed out of the city gate in a whirlwind.
In the firelight, you can see the figures of the undead camp scurrying around, like headless flies.
"They're back!" shouted from the walls.
Yes, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves outside the city.
It's not so much that Leo ran down the wall, but that he jumped straight down. He stood at the gates of the city, wide open, and waited for the triumphant warriors to enter the city.
Christine, who was full of spring breeze, just jumped off the horse proudly, but unexpectedly received a heavy punch from Leo in the chest: "You damn bad old man, do you want to be reincarnated?"
"That's a good idea! I've lived bad enough in this life, and I might be able to mix it up a little easier in the next life!" Christine laughed and said, "Leo, they were busy all night, and I ended up burning it all down!"
"What did you burn?"
"They rolled out a lot of trebuchets and siege engines, and it seemed that Tianming was preparing to attack...... By the time they yawned and went back to rest, all that was left of the battlefield were stupid zombies. I charged at once, rushed into their position, and then set fire to all the amphorae stacked on the side, and smashed them at the siege machine...... I'm sure you've seen the fire raging over there!"
"Yes...... But I ask you to consult with me before you take any action in the future, okay?"
"I just wanted to do something to boost the morale of the soldiers! Don't you see them? When they now have the Chosen One as an enemy, their dejected expressions are like relatives have just died in their family...... Well, I'll listen to you later, but now my warriors and I have to drink and celebrate!"
"Let's go to camp! there's a curfew in the city, and the tavern won't be open now!"
Christine whistled, and the Rangers ran towards the camp.
This is the Ranger, the Ranger who comes and goes like the wind!
"This old man is an outstanding Ranger commander!" Leo exclaimed, "The Ranger has been able to use his tactics to the fullest! If he dies, it will be a great loss for Erathia!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, you are the most outstanding commander of the heavy cavalry in Erathia, what do you think of the combat power of the heavy cavalry and the rangers?"
"It's like infantry soldiers, some of whom are willing to fight in heavy armor, while others are willing to go into battle lightly! If it is possible to become more agile and quick, they are even willing to take off their pants and fight the enemy with their big birds naked......"
The soldiers next to him couldn't help but laugh.
"These are two different styles of cavalry combat! Knights and horses wear heavy armor to gain sufficient protection by sacrifice, while wearing light armor is to gain enough protection by sacrificing protection! If you want to attack suddenly, of course the rangers are even better! However, when encountering positional warfare, in the face of the enemy's dense defensive formation, the heavy cavalry has an advantage!"
"Your assessment is very pertinent! Whether it is a heavy cavalry or a ranger, they are a group of proud and brave people!" the soldiers nodded their heads.
"Well, it seems that the undead will not be able to attack these days! As far as I know, the dead will not be able to make siege equipment, but at most they can be lumberjacks. Leo laughed, "To make siege machines, it still takes wisdom! It seems that their undead heroes and wizards will have to be kept busy as carpenters for a while!"
"But we can't be idle!" added Leo, "We need more trebuchets, ballistas, and arrows too!
The soldiers who were gathered around dispersed one after another. The high priest of the city whispered to Leo, "Your Excellency, you don't have a lot of fuel in stock!"
"Say, those that have enough fuel for us to fight a few battles?"
"Up to three battles ......"
"Then prepare enough stones, that can smash a lot of people!"
In the undead camp, Steve is thundering, and the undead hero in charge of the vigilance has been whipped to the core.
Dozens of trebuchets and siege engines were now reduced to ashes, and smoke and dust were wafting everywhere on the positions.
Without these things, how could the city be sieged? Everyone was huddled under the city walls, waiting for the rain of arrows to rain down from the city?
"Everybody go chop wood and become carpenters!" said Steve, angrily.
The undead heroes sprang into action, and only the damned Death Judge was still enjoying the pile of food in front of him.
Is it still useful for you to eat these?" Steve snorted. It doesn't grow meat after eating, and it will feed the scarab beetle as soon as it grows a little bit!
It seems that he has become the second Prometheus in the world. It is said that Prometheus once stole the heavenly fire from the mortal realm, was punished by Zeus, tied to the far northeast on the Skisian Mountain, and was pecked at the liver by greedy eagles day and night. As soon as the liver grows, it will immediately become food in the eagle's beak again!
Steve doesn't care about this poor man anymore! he just needs this man to fight for him, to destroy the confidence and fighting spirit of the human warriors!
There were also six headless horsemen standing under the tent. Steve ordered, "Since they didn't let us stop, let's not let us stop!" Lead all the ghost dragons hovering over the castle to sneak up on them!
The Headless Horsemen immediately sprang out of their tents. They raised their heads and screamed, and several ghostly dragons with glowing eerie blue light swirled and landed. The headless horsemen stepped onto the dragon's spine and soared into the air, followed by hundreds of ghostly ghost dragons in dense swoops towards the city of Shiyan!
Distant Standwick Castle, the capital of the Kingdom of Erathia.
King Saiya was wandering the walls of the royal palace. She stroked her lower abdomen with her hand, which had begun to bulge slightly.
Guzi, you promised me to return as soon as you sent High Priest Eric and his people to the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, do you know how long you have been there?
The Commander of the First Royal Guard has informed me of your decision. I don't understand why you would want to go into danger despite your own comfort!
Don't forget, you still have a wife who loves you dearly, and she's pregnant with a lovely baby......
You men, busy all day long...... I really don't understand, what could be more important than my own family!
Saiya's eyes were red. She looked in the direction of the city gate, hoping that her lover would appear there.
She's been standing here for a long time, a month, two months, and she doesn't want to know exactly how long, but she's willing to keep waiting.
A fast horse galloped through the streets of the castle towards the palace at the top of the hill.
As soon as he reached the palace gates, the horse foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground and convulsed, while the knight on horseback staggered into the palace.
Saiya's heart tightened: Did something bad happen again?, she ran down the steps, leaving the two maids who were trying to support her far behind.
"Where is this coming from?" said Seya, hurrying down the hallway, asking the guard officer who had come to report it.
"He said that he is from the city of Shiyan, and he has important military information to report!"
"Go and call all the members of the Royal Privy Council to the palace at once, and the commander of the First Corps...... By the way, invite the Queen Mother to the palace as well. "Saiya already had a bad premonition.
After reading a few lines of the urgent letter, Thea immediately fainted in the throne!
When Cusport, Kendall, and other important members of the Royal Privy Council arrived, the Imperial Physician was busy and the Queen Mother was standing by Thea's side wiping tears.
"Didn't I say you would report something to me?" Kendall shouted, looking very dissatisfied.
"Look at it!" the Queen Mother wiped her tears and snot and handed the letter in her hand to Kendall.
"Stupid pig, stupid pig!" Kendal was furious: "I really don't know what he thinks! He shouldn't have gone deep into the Great Wall of Ice and Snow in the first place!
"Is it still useful for you to say this now? Think of a way to save your son-in-law!" the Queen Mother was so anxious that she stomped her feet.
"If a person wants to die, no one can save him!"
"Do you want your daughter to be a widow?
"It's not that I don't want to save him, it's that I can't save him!
"Kendall, you've disappointed me so much! Even if you have some thoughts about the Chosen One, can't you do something for your daughter?"
"You're wrong, I actually like this kid very much......! Alas, maybe it's time for you to consider finding another husband for your daughter!"
"If you don't go to save him, well, you can give me an army, and I'll save him myself!" As soon as Seya woke up, he heard Kendall's words. Despite the fact that she was still dizzy, she pushed the doctor away and struggled to stand up.
