Chapter Seventy-Two: One Against Ten
Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
As soon as Reilly walked out of the door of the House of Lords, he heard a commotion.
The knights who remained outside had already laid out their attack formations and were confronting the hundreds of royal garrisons.
The Minotaur stood at the forefront, his axe already smashing a large hole into the ground. The commander of the garrison is nothing more than an eleventh level warrior, how dare he attack this minotaur who is not easy to mess with at first glance.
Reilly asked lightly, "Minotaur, what's going on?"
Pointing to the commander of the garrison, Minotaur said, "He said that we had violated the laws of the royal capital and asked us to lay down our arms and surrender." ”
"So, how do you do that?" asked Reilly with interest.
The Minotaur scratched his head and said, "I definitely can't make the soldiers lay down their weapons, but I haven't received your orders, so I'm going to scare them so that these guys don't dare to move." ”
Reilly nodded and said, "You're doing a great job." ”
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance. A group of knights in silver armor rushed over and lined up the attack formation.
These knights are all above level 10, and their equipment is comparable to that of the puppet knights under Reilly. Their faces were full of arrogance, and a big man led by them stepped out of the crowd and said loudly: "I am Batu, the head of the Royal Guard Knights! You must put down your weapons within ten seconds, otherwise you will be killed on the spot!"
"Kill on the spot?" Reilly glanced at him and said, "Are you declaring war on behalf of the royal family?"
A trace of green anger flashed across Batu's face, and he said angrily: "The royal family will not be afraid of Richard!" After all, he did not dare to issue a declaration of war on his own.
"Forgive you for not having the guts to start a war. With a wave of his hand, Rayleigh immediately broke away from the group and set up a cone formation with extremely strong attack power, confronting the two hundred Praetorian Guard knights thirty meters away. At the front of this team are three scorching knights in golden helmets and golden armor!
Seeing that the number of people on the other side was only one-tenth of his own, Badu was so angry that his hair stood on end. However, as a qualified military man, he does not let anger cloud his judgment.
"Magician!"
Hearing the order of the Knight Commander, the five Grand Mages and three Priests who accompanied the army began to bless the Praetorian Guard Knights with buffs. In order for each knight to enjoy the buffs, they can only use the weaker group magic, and the lowest level.
Only the Knight Captain and the four fifteenth-level captains have obtained the buff effect of the single body, and Batu is naturally the one who has benefited the most, and the whole four buff effects have made his combat power soar, almost reaching the level of the powerhouse of the Faro Plane.
Reilly looked at the other side disapprovingly, and said, "It turned out to be a servant of the god of courage, Nei'an, and I thought it was a waste sent by Sinai." Why, you also have to go against Lord Richard, do you want to provoke a god war?" he kicked the ball to his allies with an understatement. Richard wants to develop in the Sequoia Kingdom, and Nei'an is a hurdle that can't be bypassed, and in this case, Reilly doesn't mind picking things out, anyway, sooner or later he will have to fight.
The face of the chief priest changed, and he said angrily: "How can the great Nei'an be afraid of the three ...... Three goddesses fighting?"
Fortunately, he closed his mouth in time and did not say the "Three Waste Gods". As a mortal, if he openly insults a god, no matter how weak the other party is, he will be punished extremely severely. And in this kind of matter, Neian will never favor his own believers.
Ignoring the priests, Reilly raised his right hand in the air, and clenched it into a fist hard!
Without a shout, without a roar, the twenty knights rushed out in an instant, slamming into the ranks of the Praetorian Knights!
The Knight of the Scorching Sun, led by him, raised his spear and stabbed at Batu with lightning speed, the power and speed of this blow far exceeded the imagination of the Knight Leader!
Batu's face was full of horror, and he used all his strength to set up the two-headed mace in his hand. However, it didn't work.
The Knight of the Sun's spear pierced the mace, and with a single blow, Batu was carried into the air by his own weapon. The Knight of the Sun drew his sword and pierced his heart.
At this time, the other two Sun Knights had already swept away a large number of Praetorian Knights with their spears, and then led the Dawn Knights to gouge through the opposing Chinese army. When they turned around and prepared to make a second charge, the Janissary Knights on both flanks hadn't even finished closing the siege.
In the case of the death of the leader, the Praetorian Knights did not retreat, they shouted wildly and hedged against the puppet army, and all of them had the idea of fighting to the death.
However, courage does not make up for the huge gap in strength. The comprehensive strength of every Dawn Knight is not weaker than Batu, and the Scorching Sun Knight is even stronger than the Duke of Blue Wolf before his death. Although none of them blessed with divine skills, they were not something that the Praetorian Guard Knight could shake.
The blood spread rapidly, and corpses were scattered on the ground.
"Let's go. Reilly said lightly. The puppet knights took out ropes, tied the bodies of the Praetorian Knights, and dragged them on the ground.
The commander of the garrison stood up and said tremblingly, "Your Excellency, you can't take their corpses. ”
Clark glanced at him coldly and said, "Those who are enemies of the Dark Sanctuary do not want to retain their dignity!"
Reilly swaggered out of Cedar City and took the corpses of the Praetorian Knights with him, which was tantamount to a resounding slap in the face of the royal family. However, the two hundred Praetorian Guard knights invited the battle first, but they were killed in the head-to-head duel, and none of the twenty knights sent by the other side were killed.
Faced with this result, the royal family was rarely silent, and did not even issue accusations. Richard's side showed such a tough attitude that it was clearly not going to accept any form of mediation, and now it was only possible to solve the problem by war.
It was only at this time that people realized the aftermath of splitting the dukedom of the blue wolf with the method of feudal succession. Richard, who had lost his lordship, was like a wild horse that could not even be blamed in the name of righteousness. And Reilly, who led the army this time, is a civilian without any title!
Hell civilians!
Rights and obligations are relative, and since Reilly is not a nobleman, he naturally does not need to abide by the rules of the game between nobles. And the royal family did not want to get involved in the dispute between the Dark Sanctuary and the Sinai Church, so they pretended not to see what he was doing.
On the other hand, although Richard was a vassal of the previous Duke of Blue Wolf, he was not a vassal of the Sequoia royal family, nor was he necessarily a vassal of the next Duke of Blue Wolf. The alternation of old and new lords meant a new covenant.
Richard, who reigned in the bloodstained land, was already in a state of de facto independence. When Duke Blue Wolf was alive, the two sides were only nominally subordinate. And in the battle of the invaders, Richard established supreme prestige. Once a civil war breaks out, the most likely outcome is Richard's complete independence in the Bloodstained Lands. With the borders of the Bloodstained Lands, he could establish a Grand Duchy of his own.
Well, now enduring the humiliation in front of him, Richard is still at least nominally a nobleman affiliated with the Sequoia Kingdom.
Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't make much sense.
In Reilly's view, the royal family is playing with fire.
If the royal family were able to defeat Richard on the battlefield, they could claim the benefits of the Bloodstained Lands in that name. However, the reverse is also true. If Richard had defeated the Redwoods on the battlefield, he would have been able to meddle in the affairs of the kingdom in the right place.
All in all, this is a world that speaks with strength.
