Chapter 105: The Last Battle
Albert stepped on the corpse of the Crouching Tiger King, turned around, and looked at the robbers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"We surrender. The robbers looked at Albert and then at the body of the Crouching Tiger King, and fell to their knees.
At this moment, shouts of killing rang out, and reinforcements from the robbers arrived. Nearly a thousand robbers poured into the hall, and the originally spacious and empty hall immediately became crowded. And the robbers who were kneeling on the ground had a gleam of joy in their eyes, and they stood up again, and the scene that had just been brought under control fell into chaos again.
"The leader is dead, whoever can kill them will be the next leader!"
A small leader who had just kowtowed and begged for mercy yelled, and then waved his weapon in a pretentious manner.
Hearing the news of the leader's killing, the robbers couldn't help but retreat, their hearts timid. However, the words of the little leader ignited their fighting spirit.
The robbers looked at each other, and they all saw a complex look of fear and madness in each other's eyes. No one is not afraid of death, but in the same way, no one does not yearn for rights. Ruling a thousand-strong bandit group and owning a gold mine can make people surging just by thinking about it. After a moment of confrontation, the bandits' eyes gradually changed, the disparity in numbers gave them courage, fear subsided, and their minds were occupied by madness and greed.
"Kill!"
The robbers wielded a variety of weapons and charged Albert and the others like crazy.
"These idiots are really not afraid of death. Albert cursed secretly, and took the lead in meeting the thousands of robbers. At the same time, Shadow, Catherine, and the eight gladiators behind him also moved.
Despite facing a hundredfold number of enemies, they have no fear.
Albert's short sword and dragon claws alternate, his attacks are tricky and eerie, and his steps are agile and elegant.
The weapons condensed by the black qi in the shadow hand are constantly changing, unpredictable, and the power of the ranger is brought into full play.
Catherine's longbow fires in succession, condensing three magic arrows with each shot, each capable of hitting at least three enemies.
However, it was not these three people who were the most dazzling on the entire battlefield.
"Dodom is going to crush all the enemies!" Dodom roared, rampage through the crowd.
Dodom was flanked by two ogres of the same size, like three chariots of steel, and no one could stop them.
Humanity has become small and fragile in the face of the 35-centimeter-tall ogre, the largest intelligent race on the surface of the world today. The three ogres were armed with the same weapon, a massive iron mace nearly three meters long and weighing 500 pounds, with spikes more than thirty centimeters long enough to pierce a human skull. The weapons in their hands were wielded indiscriminately, wailing everywhere they went, and blood gushing everywhere they went.
Not to be outdone, the other five gladiators were intimidating, and their fighting skills that had been honed through thousands of trials were terrifying.
However, even though Albert's side far outnumbered the bandits' side in combat, and even though the number of casualties on the bandits' side continued to expand, none of the robbers flinched, like mechanical puppets that did not know fear.
The robbers have long been blinded by profit, and perhaps they are now a puppet.
Everyone was immersed in fantasies, and in their eyes they could only see the throne of the head of the regiment and the wealth brought to them by the gold mines.
This makes them forget their fears, and even more so the things around them, and no one cares about their fallen companions. Even, when a companion falls, they will have a hint of joy.
The robbers didn't care that it was Albert's side that had the upper hand.
Of course, they weren't so stupid as to rush blindly and not think about whether they would be able to win or not.
They all have the same idea, that human strength is limited, five minutes, maybe ten minutes, but no matter what, there is always a time when the strength is exhausted.
The robbers believed that the final victory would be theirs.
※※※
Just as Albert and the Crouching Tiger bandits are in the final showdown, another place is also fighting.
Thirty kilometers on the outskirts of Radiant City, on the road leading to Radiant City, there is a large barracks, or fortress. The walls are made of huge rocks as high as 10 meters, and the outer layer is poured with molten iron, which glows with the cold luster of metal.
The walls are filled with heavily armed soldiers, and every three meters a white flag is erected with a red sun printed on it, and in the center of the red sun is a white cherry blossom in full bloom. The artificially carved moat is five meters wide and surrounds the entire fortress. The green, viscous liquid that flowed through the river could easily tell by its color and foul smell that it was no ordinary water.
"This isn't sewer sewage. Count Rose frowned.
At this time, Count Rose was standing in front of the Sakura Family Barracks Fortress, carrying a helmet in his right hand and covering his mouth and nose with his left hand.
His purpose was evident from his clothing, which was intricately crafted full-body plate armor with monster skins and soft silver nets at every joint, which ensured his dexterity. He rode a heavily armed warhorse with a sword and a spear hanging from each side of the saddle.
And behind the Count of Rose, there stood hundreds of knights and nearly a thousand infantrymen.
The knights and infantry were armed with uniform plate and chain mail, each with a beautiful rose branded on their chests.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord of the Rhine, Your Excellency Count Rose. Count Sakura, who was standing on the wall, spoke, "I must know the purpose of your legion coming to my territory. "He's got a very ugly face, and he's been really bad luck lately.
Albert's escape disrupted his plans, and he even had to appoint an emissary to declare the gold mines to the royal family.
Not only that, but he also lost contact with the Crouching Tiger King and his son Padwin, and none of the scouts sent to him were able to return.
The thought of that damn piece of waste made him angry. He always wondered if that lustful, cowardly, stupid waste was his child.
"Of course, it's here to catch up. Count Rose said calmly, without any expression on his face. He didn't ask the other party if he had kidnapped his daughter, it was a shame for his family to be kidnapped, and if it was spread, he would not be able to raise his head in front of other nobles for the rest of his life.
"Do you need to lead a corps to catch up?" said Count Sakura, in an unkind tone.
"Banditry has been rampant in the past few years, and I have to be careful. Count Rose shook his neck, which was a little sore from looking up for too long, "Especially in your territory, I heard that there is a group of Crouching Tiger bandits with thousands of members. ”
"I think you're trying to trap me. Count Sakura couldn't help but say, his tone becoming more and more gloomy.
He had thought that he would send troops to the Crouching Tiger Mountains this morning to retrieve the son who was not angry, but he got the news that Count Rose had raised his troops.
It was really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, he thought to himself, everyone knows that Count Rose is the most timid nobleman in the world. Unlike other nobles who inherited titles from their fathers, Count Rose was originally just a commoner, and was later canonized as an earl by virtue of his ridiculous military exploits. Even some old low-ranking nobles can bully this new hillbilly.
But now, this damn hillbilly dared to provoke him.
It's all to blame on his useless son, if the original plan had been successful, he would have been able to control the earl.
"Oh, what a misunderstanding. Count Rose said with a smile, "I came this time with sincerity to make friends with Lord of Radiant City, His Excellency Count Sakura. ”
"If you want me to see sincerity, then please withdraw from the army. Count Sakura said.
"Oh no, I actually have another purpose in leading these soldiers. With that, Count Rose drew the sword that hung from his saddle.
"Damn, you want to fight for my territory? That would be punished by the Empire, which is tantamount to treason!" Seeing the other party's actions, Count Sakura's face changed greatly. Although it is disdainful for a nobleman to be promoted from a commoner, no one will doubt a good general who has fought on the battlefield for more than ten years.
"No, no, no. Count Rose shook his head repeatedly, "I just wish we could have a rehearsal for war." ”
"There's no need for that. Count Sakura's face softened a little, but it was still very ugly. Count Rose's family privates are made up of this guy's former subordinates, and although these veterans are a little older, they have all been baptized by blood and fire, and are truly fearless.
Military exercises with this bunch of madmen, unless he is also crazy, no, stupid!
Besides, he must now go to the Crouching Tiger Mountains to retrieve his son, how can he be in the mood for a war rehearsal.
"I said it, with sincerity. Count Rose read some information from the other party's eyes, and couldn't help but smile sincerely.
Count Rose's real purpose is to prevent Count Sakura from sending troops to the Crouching Tiger Mountains. Through the news reported by the scouts, he had long learned that the son of Count Sakura was now in Crouching Tiger Mountain, but he didn't want to do it himself.
There is a big force behind Count Sakura, and that's not something he can provoke.
Killing Padwin with Albert's hand is a good idea, though it's a bit of a shame for the hapless kid.
He could see that the kid was sincere to Joanna, but he did it for Joanna's future, and he didn't want to lose his title and let his daughter be implicated and become a commoner.
I hope Albert won't disappoint me, thought Count Rose.
He looked up at Count Sakura and smiled, "If you don't agree, I will definitely not leave." ”
"Your Excellency Count Rose, do you know what you're doing?" said Count Sakura, gritting his teeth, his fist creaking.
"Of course. Count Rose nodded seriously, "I want to comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness of the eastern part of the Auston Empire, do you know?The battle between the orcs and humans will not last long, and the orcs will surrender in a few years." By that time, there is a good chance that our eastern cities will again become the front line of border defense, and you will thank me for what I have done today. He talked eloquently, continuing to pretend to be stupid.
"No, you'll regret it. Count Sakura gritted his teeth and tried to keep himself calm.
