Laurent underestimated the range of the Knight Scouts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When Fetro went south alone, the Knights of the Fairman City-State were still stationed in Maple Leaf County, more than a hundred kilometers away, and there was no plan to go south in a short period of time.

However, the situation changed slightly when the rear knightly army crossed the Oviere Mountains and arrived in the province of Santan.

The earthquake at noon on the 18th gave Elliot a strong sense of foreboding, and the giant Jesse's speculation about the coming of divine punishment seemed to have been fulfilled. On the evening of the 19th, when the follow-up troops arrived in Misty Town and recounted what they had seen and heard in the province of Ovieh, the last trace of luck in Eliot's heart was extinguished.

Divine punishment reappeared, this time the object was Falling Rock City, the scale and strength even exceeded that of the giant city-state, tens of thousands of knights up and down Falling Rock City died, the Silver Star Mercenary Regiment was almost wiped out, and more importantly: Falling Rock City has completely disappeared, and more than 100,000 knight troops who were the first to arrive on the Huls continent have become a lone army with neither Austrian aid nor retreat.

Before Elliot led the army to set off, the giant Jesse had analyzed for him that there was a gap of more than two years between the surprise attack on Yakou Town and the arrival of the divine punishment on the giant city-state, that is, even if the divine punishment was indeed from the hands of the demon duke, he would need enough time to prepare.

This time, the army raided Huls, and the strategy was not to alarm the demon duke first, and block the route of the dwarves to help. That's why Elliot ordered the scouts to clear a no-man's belt along the North Fall Cliff so as not to expose the army's tracks.

In the original plan, when the army gained a firm foothold and pointed at Feemon, the time left for the demon duke was only a few days at most, which was definitely not enough for him to organize even one divine punishment.

But Eliot never dreamed that his army had just set foot on Falling Rock on the morning of the 17th, and the first blow would be delivered at noon the next day.

The sudden divine punishment completely disrupted Elliot's deployment, and before he could give the gag order, the news of the reappearance of the divine punishment spread throughout the Knights of the Fairman City-State, and various rumors about the demon duke were interpreted more and more realistically in the army. Elliot even heard with his own ears that someone was saying that the Demon Duke had sold his soul to the Devil in order to repeatedly invoke the power of the Devil.

On the night of April 19th, Elliot had a nightmarish night, and the sound of the dwarves suddenly going crazy in the middle of the night to snatch the corridors of the foggy city scared him out of a cold sweat for a lifetime, and the knights' camp was also in chaos for a while, and it took a long time to suppress it.

As soon as it was dawn in the early morning, Elliot found that the knights' camp was full of people looking up at the sky, and needless to say, they were also worried about the divine punishment that might come at any time, just like Eliot. He knew that if it continued like this, it would still be a trivial matter for the army to be discouraged, and it was not impossible for the knight army under high pressure to mutini and bomb the camp.

At this time, Elliot inevitably misses the elite knights who disappeared into the ruins of Giant City, and in front of that iron army, the Knights of the Fairman city-state are a rabble.

In the morning of the same day, Eliot ordered the Knights of the Fairman City-State to break up the army of more than 40,000 men, disperse into small units, and move south to target Coennas.

He himself stayed in Misty Town with more than 7,000 remnants of the Silver Star Mercenary Regiment and continued to blockade Fog City. Elliot feared that once he left, these frightened wastes would give up holding on out of fear, and when the time came, the dwarves of Fog City would break through the ground and the army would be defeated.

......

On the morning of 20 April, the body of the messenger Fetro stiffened outside Santan, and the blood slowly clotted.

At the same time, more than a hundred kilometers away in Maple Leaf County, the knight army was eroding towards the south like locusts on a long front of more than ten kilometers, and everywhere they passed, they were full of desolation.

On the morning of the 21st, the defenders of Santan City, who were eager for a battle, finally saw the sporadic knight squad. The first encounter ended with a great victory for the defenders. Three squads, more than seventy knights, were shot by thousands of magic guns dozens of meters away from the city wall, and they didn't even get a chance to escape.

The test of the military and civilians of Santan City has just begun, and the once bloody Gongta grassland has once again ushered in the invading army after more than 20 years.

......

Gongta grassland, on the east bank of the Aiwa River.

Blue sky and white clouds, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the huge obelisk tower is erected on the shore, symbolizing mourning, commemoration or warning, and the daisies are all around the stone tower.

Basel stood in front of the stone tower, his cold eyes sweeping the words on the tower. The western part of the Knights' Confederation also speaks Western, but Basel is not very literate and can only roughly understand that this stone tower is erected here to commemorate a war and pray for peace.

Basel thought it was a little funny. In his view, if there is anything to be learned from war, the only revelation is that peace is not something that can be achieved by prayer.

He looked at the stone tower, and suddenly became interested, and slowly drew his scimitar from his shoulder.

Basel was not tall, but extremely strong, with a square face, thick lips, a dark complexion, short gray hair, all erect, and his whole head looked like a hedgehog from behind.

Dressed in silver chain mail, he never wore a helmet because he was too cumbersome, and he wielded a rare scimitar, which was said to have killed a whole mercenary group.

This is, of course, an exaggeration, but it shows how bloodthirsty Basel is. It was because he was such a madman that Elliot handed over this coalition of dozens of mercenaries into his hands. And it only took him three days to bring this army of more than 60,000 people from Misty Town to the Gongta Grassland.

Basel didn't have a knack for stirring up the morale of the army, and he had only one solution, which was simple and practical - to kill anyone who didn't like it and throw it on the side of the road to feed the dogs.

Now, the black pressure behind him, the mercenary coalition that rarely had a breath to breathe, couldn't help but tingle his scalp when he saw Basel pull out his bloodthirsty scimitar.

With a bang, in front of Basel, the obelisk tower more than ten meters high fell obliquely. He actually used a knife to break the stone tower.

Basel returned the knife to the sheath, and turned around in the thunderous gravel dust, "Who's going to cross the river and build the bridge?!"

......

Behind the small hillside on the other side of the Ava River, thousands of magic apprentices with magic guns crawled, and not a single one came out.

Wesley turned his head to look at Ceosey and said softly, "This guy is crazy, what does it have to do with the Great Patriotic War Memorial?"

"You're right, he's a madman. Ceoses shook his head helplessly.

Sarah asked, looking horrified, "Is he...... Basel Bank?"

Ceosis nodded, "Who else but him." ”

Wesley looked at Crey, and saw that the Queen of Thorns' face had also become nervous.
