Chapter 777: The Holy Shield Changes Hands
The Holy Shield Canyon is in shambles, and this deep canyon, which has been calm for decades, is particularly dazzling under the projection of the setting sun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that what is dazzling is not the red sunlight of the thin western mountains, nor the gorgeous clouds that dye half of the sky on the horizon.
Rather, it was a trickle of blood from the corpse that had clogged up the mouth of the canyon, and the bright colors were delicate.
It was like a flower of death blooming at dusk, and the young soldiers didn't understand what was going on until they died.
They should have been able to scare the enemy away with just a few symbolic scares, haven't they all been like this all these years?
Who would have thought that they would come from the Holy Shield City, all of them thought that they would be able to reap the merits of battle, and they would encounter such a fierce opponent, and when they saw the group of soldiers in black armor waiting for the rabbit, they would not wait for them to recover from the shock.
The other party launched a charge, unlike their group of chicks who had not fought a hard battle, the other party had all experienced a tragic battle, and the brave and incomparable army that was killed from the sea of corpses and blood, even if the other party only had two thousand people, the number was only half of theirs.
However, in this battle, the overwhelming side was completely presented, under the impact of the black cavalry, the legion led by Odegaard was completely vulnerable, and it became disruptive after just a face-to-face contact, and the interior of the Aegis Canyon was open, and a small force of cavalry could be used to deploy a face-to-face charge.
However, the entrance was quite narrow, and such a complex terrain also gave Odegaard a fatal blow, and the soldiers scrambled to escape from this place of death, but the narrow entrance undoubtedly hastened their death, and the weak lamb had no chance of surviving under the frenzied attack of the wolves.
The slaughter continued into dusk, and the air was still fresh with the smell of blood, and Austin flipped off his horse, and he walked through the canyon, looking indifferently at the young soldiers who had fallen to the ground, who had been in the same camp not long ago, and who could be called reinforcements.
However, it didn't take long for him to be on the opposite side, which was a very difficult choice for Austin.
His inner emotions are also very complicated, after all, the shaking of faith is a process of ups and downs, and his heart has experienced difficult struggles.
"You look very uncomfortable, if you can't accept this, you can choose to quit, the adults have spoken, don't force you to go to the battlefield, you can go back to a certain city as a defense officer, or you want to quit the army, it's not easy for you to do all this. ”
A burly, but wooden-looking officer walked up to Austin's side, and he usually spoke very little, almost nothing.
Always put on a smiling face, and after Austin made his choice in Shadow City, he was not very well received by the Far Eastern Army.
But this wooden man is an exception, because he and Austin have known each other for a long time, and they have had a deep friendship when they were in the royal capital.
At that time, Austin was still the Knight Captain of the Knights of Light and was highly respected in the royal capital, and this man was the deputy head of the Royal Knights.
His ability, which has always served as Ranmaroke, has been ignored by most people, who think that this man is dull, wooden, incomprehensible, and does not understand wrists.
After the fall of the royal capital, Ranmarok placed the Royal Order in his hands, and many questioned whether this was the right decision.
But he proved himself with his performance, the Royal Knights were intact under his leadership, and even after following the young man thousands of miles from the Empire to the western side of the continent, the Royal Knights had always maintained a very good condition, and the battle damage was kept at a very low level.
Moreover, in these battles, the Royal Knights performed well, and their results were only behind the Far Eastern Army, and before the border army.
"Langton, it's not easy for you to say so much, you've always been a very unrelenting but attentive fellow, I know, I can run away from here without any swagger, so that I don't have to face the battlefield, and I don't have those distressing thoughts. ”
"But I know that this is a test for me, for my faith...... It's not a pure Church of Light or a Dark Holy See, it's always just to make people's lives better, Shield City is just the beginning, move on, there are more serious challenges ahead. ”
Austin shook his head, he looked up at the sunset, he knew that he had been confused and shaken, and he had thoughts of escaping.
But no matter how many emotions are affecting him, the path he will take next will not change, because this is to follow his faith.
"Is that so? In this battle, we wiped out more than 1,000 Odegaard, plus the scattered deserters, Odegaard fled back to the Holy Shield City with about 1,000 men, but I don't know what happened to the Duke's plan on their side, and whether they successfully achieved the purpose of the battle. ”
Langton nodded, Austin was his old friend, and he just wanted to help his old friend as much as he could.
Although he saw confusion in Austin's eyes, he soon looked at something else, which gradually relieved him.
At this time, he looked in the direction of the Holy Shield City, although the battle here was over, but the side of the Holy Shield City was not very clear.
After all, before the battle, Lin Ye had said that if it was just to defeat the 4,000-strong army led by Odegaard out of the city, even if they were all wiped out.
There is no meaning, the only meaningful thing is to take down the entire Holy Shield City and completely open the door of the Church of Light.
"The battlefield on the other side...... I think they must have worked harder than we did, I know, that young man did not enter this land for the purpose of aggression, as long as I follow him, one day I will be able to see the ideal world he described, right?"
Austin retracted his gaze from the setting sun, and the soldiers were sweeping the battlefield, their horses wagging their tails and making dull snorts.
Meanwhile, on the tower of Aegis City, a group of soldiers in silver glittering armor took control of the city gates in place of the city guards.
A young man stood on the tower and saw the defeated army in the distance, which was running wildly for its life, and there was no formation at all.
"Is it finally back? I'll have to wait for a while, so I have prepared a great gift for you, Lord Odegaard, and I hope you will accept my gift without being too surprised, Aegis City...... It's not yours anymore. ”
The young man took off his helmet, revealing his black hair, and a large number of soldiers of the city guard below the tower were arrested and controlled.
In the time that Odegaard was on his way to the Canyon, the Aegis City had already changed hands with a thunderclap!
