Chapter 114: The Rose Queen
A long arrow that ignited in flames pierced the sky and shot into the body of an Ant-Man like a meteor, turning it into a torch.
"Good!"
"Lord Earl, shoot so accurately!"
"Burn these beasts!"
The soldiers on the city wall shouted cheers at the middle-aged man who was shooting arrows with a bow. This middle-aged man is not tall, with a well-proportioned figure, and his cold and hard lines outline deep facial features, he is the Earl of Terrandon.
Standing on the top of the wall, Tellandon fired several rockets in succession, igniting several Ant-Man who were moving the earth one by one, and the accurate shooting made the soldiers cheer loudly. However, looking at the army of Ant-Man under the castle, Terrandon's heart felt an indescribable heaviness. There was still a lot of fire oil in the castle, but there were not many arrows left, and the ant-man below was still piling up dirt slopes in a cold order.
"Maybe Feldspar Fort is the first castle to be breached by monsters with siege methods, and maybe it will go down in the annals of the White Tower!" Turlandon thought bitterly as he stepped on the castle more than forty meters high.
Five days ago, some fleeing civilians brought news of a monster invasion. Terrandon reacted immediately, evacuated the people in the territory, and gathered his army in Fort Feldspar, but when he saw tens of thousands of Ant-Man coming, he was still surprised.
Although Telllandon was shocked by the number of Ant-Man, he was not flustered, and Fort Feldstone was his confidence. Unlike the sloppy castles of the princes, the feldspar castle was built entirely of solid limestone, reaching a height of forty-three meters, and had enough supplies to hold on to 700 soldiers for six months.
Tellandon knows a thing or two about the defense of human castles, and no monster has ever breached such a fortress head-on. A lord of the kingdom of Neville once managed to crush the attack of the centaur tribe with a 35-meter-high fortress. Ordinary soldiers rely on the castle to shoot at the centaurs with their longbows, and whenever the centaurs rest, the knights in armor will kill them from the castle and return to the castle to regain their strength before the fighting spirit is exhausted. Eventually, the centaur tribe had to leave behind hundreds of corpses and retreat in disgrace.
Tellandon is ready to deal with Ant-Man like this, he can only be beaten and cannot fight back, and no matter how many monsters he has, he will be defeated. But reality tells him that Ant-Man can be destroyed, and it will never be defeated. After the battle began, Ant-Man first filled the 6-meter-wide moat with his body, and then trampled on his companion to climb up desperately. Ant-Man's crazy behavior scared Terrandon a lot. Fortunately, the ladder that Ant-Man built with his body collapsed when it was more than twenty meters high.
Subsequently, Ant-Man tried two more times, both of which failed, and instead crushed thousands of Ant-Man to death. While everyone laughs at Ant-Man's stupidity, Ant-Man starts piling up dirt slopes. The soldiers desperately shot at Ant-Man with their crossbows, but they could only slow down the speed of Ant-Man's mound, and it was at that time that the arrows were consumed in large quantities. Just as Terrandon was feeling desperate, the family's red-eyed crow sent information that Ant-Man was afraid of fire. Under the rocket's shooting, Ant-Man's offensive was contained, but their behavior of filling the earth has not been interrupted, but has become much slower.
"Filro-sama!
Seeing the family knight Philo accurately ignite an Ant-Man, Tellandon couldn't help but smile, Ferro was his son.
Since being burned to death by hundreds of Ant-Men, these monsters have changed their tactics. They do not keep a dense formation to pile up dirt, but try to spread out as much as possible, and use their shields to fend off rockets, which also makes it difficult for ordinary soldiers to hit Ant-Man at once, and in order to save all the knights of the Arrow family have become archers, and only knights can shoot Ant-Man with shields with precision.
A rocket ignites an Ant-Man trying to pick up a shield, turning it into a ball of fire. Watching the York-based shield gradually burn, Tellandon's heart twitched. In order to rescue the Telllandon family, an entire 1,000 elite troops of the York family were wiped out by Ant-Man, including two knights he was familiar with.
As a silver-level knight, Terrandon can completely lead his knights to break through. Unlike the princely nobles who came to grab the territory, the Earl of Turlandon moved into the Centaur Hill by his family, and there were his wife and daughter and many ordinary people in this castle, all of whom were vassals of the family. The Earl of Trlandon could not abandon them, just as the House of York could not abandon him, it was the duty of the lords.
What weighs Terrandon's heart the most is that Sylvia summons him that the House of York will mobilize the best possible force to rescue them. Including, 1,000 paladins, 5,000 regular soldiers, 30,000 militiamen, and all the knights.
Trlandenhowe did not doubt that his lord would be able to defeat Ant-Man, but he was also sure that it would devastate the House of York. Count Terrandon knew that if the human army fought a field war with Ant-Man, the only outcome would be for one side to be completely wiped out, and the other side would also suffer heavy losses.
Holding the hilt of the Mithril sword, Tellandon glanced at the Ant-Man army below, his gaze cold but determined. Although Sylvia specifically told him that the family's decisive battle with Ant-Man was also due to political necessity, so as to show everyone that the York family had done their best in the face of monsters, Tellandon was determined to die on the day of the decisive battle!
"Someone's coming!" shouted a soldier in charge of the lookout.
A fiery red figure was heading towards the castle, delicate and ornate full-body armor outlining delicate curves, and delicately carved Mithril spears dragging straight marks on the ground.
"Yes, Lady Silvia!" said the Knight of Ferro, incredulous.
"It's the Queen of Roses. Terrandon pressed Ferro's shoulder and whispered. The smiling face of a beautiful woman carved into the Mithril mask under the helmet was familiar to him. When Sylvia puts on her armor, the knights of the Knights of the Rose will call her Queen of the Roses. And Terrandon is a member of the Knights of the Roses.
"Father, ma'am, what is she going to do, we should go down and support her!" cried Ferro excitedly, and it was clear from Sylvia's determined steps that she was going to storm the Ant-Man army, alone!
"Don't be in a hurry, we can't act rashly without His Highness's order. These Ant-Men can't keep His Highness!" said Terrandon's calm voice with unshakable confidence.
Sylvia silently made her way towards the dense army of Ant-Men, and dozens of hideous ant-men had noticed the approaching Sylvia and hissed defiantly at her. Sylvia was unmoved, standing still at a distance of 500 meters from the Ant-Man army, and couldn't help frowning as she saw the tens of thousands of Ant-Man armies in front of her moving soil forward in an orderly manner.
The formless and qualitative spiritual power condensed into a line and swept towards the ant colony, and the body information of thousands of ant-men was sensed by Sylvia, and soon she locked on to the four special ant-men, and with a single move, she walked straight towards the first target.
As a Flame Golden Knight, Sylvia's spiritual power far surpasses that of mortals, and in her field of vision is a picture of solidification, with the past, the present, and the future, which is a picture predicted under high spiritual attributes. Dragging the three-meter-long Mithril spear, he cut into these scrolls in a slow manner, and without any way Ant-Man touched Sylvia, raised his spear and stabbed through her target unhappily. The commander, Ant-Man, had already seen Sylvia, dressed in fiery red armor, walk into the mighty army of Ant-Man, and he watched the knight come over in a daze, watching the spear stab itself, watching the sharp tip of the spear pierce through the solid carapace, until the scorching flames lit itself into a fireball from the inside out, and it didn't understand what was happening.
As soon as the commander Ant-Man died, the solidified picture scroll shattered, and hundreds of Ant-Man let out a sharp hiss, frantically attacking their companions, and this chaos quickly spread outward, and soon disrupted the order of Ant-Man. For a moment, a frozen picture reformed in Sylvia's mind, and she clearly saw another target a few hundred meters away.
The commander, Ant-Man, was confused and saw the creature enter the colony and assassinate a member of its kind. Strange to it, the creature's attack was so slow and weak that the creature's attack was as fragile as an aging soldier ant, and it was easily killed. However, the commander Ant-Man controlled the colony to pounce on the oncoming knight, and was confident that killing the creature would absorb more power for the Mother Emperor.
Sylvia walked straight towards the second target, a frenzied soldier ant was rushing towards her, Sylvia paused slightly, and two clumped soldiers rolled in front of her, and the frenzied soldier ant immediately changed the target of the attack and fought with the two companions.
In this way, Sylvia walked out of the melee ant colony quickly, and she was greeted by a torrent of Ant-Men, hundreds of Ant-Men hissing and rushing towards her. What's even more terrifying is that several of the same ant colonies are also rushing towards Sylvia, or she will be overwhelmed by the colony in a few seconds.
In the face of the surging Ant-Man wave, Sylvia went against the current, and the Mithril spear pierced into the oncoming ant colony, and the soldier ants around the spear were sent out to the left and right by a soft and irresistible force, colliding with the same kind around her, and the Ant-Man wave was divided into a passage. Following this open gap, Sylvia dodged in, confronting her second target.
The commander Ant-Man swung the spear in his hand at Sylvia, and the huge force caused the spear made of fine iron to bend in the air, and the spear rubbed against the air to make a piercing scream, this blow was so powerful that even the ogre would be directly sucked to death. But no matter how powerful the attack is, it will be futile if it misses the target.
In the face of this ferocious and unrivaled sweep, Sylvia's speed increased sharply, and she slid past the side of the commander Ant-Man, and when it flashed behind it, it was already as fast as a fiery red streamer. The Ant-Man Commander felt a sharp pain in his head and fell into eternal darkness. In the split second it passed, the Mithril spear pierced its head, and the force attached to the spear stabbed its ugly skull. As soon as the commander died, the spear in his hand was thrown out, spun at high speed and flew dozens of meters away, smashing into the chasing ant colony.
Silvia, who was moving at high speed, jumped more than ten meters into the air, jumped over the wall formed by Ant-Man, and in mid-air, shot the Mithril spear in her hand towards the third target, and the silver-white spear instantly pierced the target's body and nailed it deep to the ground. In a few leaps, Sylvia landed beside her target, and the detective pulled out the Mithril spear, and the screaming and struggling Ant-Man Commander was immediately ignited by the power of the fire elemental.
Before several ant colonies could surround her, Sylvia retreated into the chaos of Ant-Man, and while Ant-Men were fighting each other, she had already broken away from the Ant-Man army and drifted away into the distance, disappearing in an instant.
"What the hell is going on?" Philo muttered to himself as he watched the Ant-Man fighting in chaos beneath the castle.
Although it was only thirty seconds, the whole process was very clear. Philo witnessed Sylvia walk into the edge of the Ant-Man army, killing the three Ant-Men from slow to fast, and walking leisurely, followed by a riot in the ant colony.
It was obvious that those three Ant-Men were the source of the Ant-Man's chaos, but what Philo couldn't understand was that Sylvia had killed three targets in the Ant-Man army three times in thirty seconds, showing ease and freehand, while she only used the power of the Silver Knight from beginning to end.
"How can the Silver Knight be so powerful!?Madame is obviously a Golden Knight, why didn't he use extraordinary combat skills?" Philo's mind was in chaos, the difference between the Golden Knight and the Silver Knight was that he could mobilize the power of the Elemental Sea to form his own unique extraordinary combat skills, which was amazingly powerful. In his opinion, it is not impossible for the Golden Knight to capture the flag in an army of tens of thousands of monsters, but he should also burst out with his extraordinary combat skills no matter what, and Sylvia has done this easily and naturally, which is simply incredible!
"It's no surprise that Her Highness is known as the most powerful Golden Knight because she can control everything! Of all the peak knights, only His Highness can do this!" Tellandon looked at the melee ant colony with a smile on his face, the order of the Ant-Man made him desperate, and their weakness also gave him hope, the important thing is that as long as Sylvia is there, it is only a matter of time before the army of tens of thousands of Ant-Man is completely wiped out.
"Philo, keep an eye on these Ant-Men, I'll go back and rest first, and then I'll come back to change you when I'm rested!" Terrandon patted his son on the shoulder and walked towards the castle.
"Father, Madame left without saying a word, what shall we do?" cried Firo into Terrandon's back.
"Hold on to the castle and wait for your Highness's orders. ”
Tellandon didn't look back, just waved his hand. For the first time since the ant plague besieged the city, the Count had stepped down the city walls, and although he felt a little tired, he walked with ease.
