Chapter 222: The Feast of Death

The hourglass-shaped Grand Canyon of the Alps is the only passage connecting the empire and the wasteland, the terrain is wide at both ends, and the middle is as narrow as a throat, not to mention the knights who can accommodate a thousand people to charge and fight, there are really thousands of knights crowded here, I am afraid it is impossible to even turn around, so when Augustus ambushed Douglas, he also made full use of this feature - and now, Stuart and Arthras want to replicate what Augustus once did.

Overlooking the foot from the hillside.

The Rodrian's convoy from the imperial capital is even larger than the original Douglas convoy, which in the eyes of Earl Stuart can certainly arouse his desire more, the large convoy not only makes this passage more crowded, but also more suitable for them to move, but also means that once they finally succeed, the benefits will definitely be far greater than the last time, under the stimulation of desire, although Stuart is indeed worried that with Douglas's previous experience, Rodrien will be on guard, but at this point, he can't retreat anyway, he clenched his fists, turned to look at Arthras, who looked calm beside him, and he signaled with his eyes that they must make a quick decision。

Arthras did not respond immediately.

Compared with Stuart's worries, he can almost conclude that Rodrian's defense must be on guard, the reason why Stuart intentionally or unintentionally ignored the huge risks, one is greed, and the hatred of Alfred makes him unwilling to be in this plundering plan, can only be reduced to Augustus's supporting role, under this double stimulus, no matter how steady Stuart is, it is difficult to curb his impulses, besides, which nobleman does not have a little crazy and paranoid blood in his bones?

He stared one last at the Rodrian's knights guarding the convoy in front of and behind the passage.

The number didn't seem to be at least 500 as Augustus expected, but about 300 knights, and the advantage that the terrain brought to them was too great, and Arthras thought about it for a long time, and it was difficult for him to figure out how Rodrien could defend himself, even if he was prepared.

He finally stopped hesitating.

Now that he has changed his mind and no longer dissuades Stuart, it doesn't matter what happens to him next, success is good, but what about a fiasco?

He nodded lightly to Stuart.

Count Stuart immediately waved his hand, and in an instant, nearly 600 knights hidden behind the bushes on the hillside appeared neatly, they walked to the front of the hillside, and divided into two teams before and after, the leader was Stuart 300 knights, and the back was Sauron's knights, whether it was from the sophistication of equipment or momentum, Sauron's knights were obviously inferior to Stuart's knights, which also fully proved that for this attack, Stuart had made a bloody investment.

He raised his great sword and swung it towards the foot of the mountain: "Charge!"

The knight roared.

Carrying a huge impact from high to low, the momentum is very powerful.

The convoy at the foot of the mountain suddenly panicked.

Doesn't seem to notice this order of knights hiding on the hillside?

Stuart was secretly relieved, at least a good start.

However, Artelas, who was standing quietly beside him, frowned abnormally, and he noticed a detail, the convoy at the foot of the mountain looked panicked, but under the appearance of their panic, it seemed to be shrinking back and forth, trying to get closer to the middle? Why is that? It can't always be waiting to be surrounded, right? Even if Arthras can't find the answer for a while, his subconscious tells him that there must be a huge trap there!

As he expected.

Almost as he and the Stuart knights charged, when the knights in front and behind them were in a line, from the long convoy of carriages, suddenly jumped out of at least 100 people, the same silver armor, the same with bows and arrows, all indicating their identity - archer knights.

Sure enough, it was a knightly order with around 500 people.

Augustus had guessed correctly the power that Sebastien might bring.

At the beginning, Augustus arranged for adventurers to shoot Douglas's knights with bows and arrows from top to bottom, and took advantage of the location, but at this time, the Stuart Knights were facing real archers, and they may not have the upper hand in terms of geography, but whether it is personal strength, or the familiarity and accuracy of the bow and arrow in the opponent, it is definitely not comparable to those adventurers, even from the bottom up, the lethality that 100 or so archers can cause is only stronger than the adventurers arranged by Augustus, and it will never be weaker than those half-hung archers。

A salvo.

The Stuart knights at the front of the charge fell to the ground in an instant.

What's even more terrifying is that due to the condescending charge, it is completely impossible for the knights behind to stop the charge, even if they hit the body of their companions on the ground, the war horses, they didn't have time to react, so, the chain reaction, soon a large number of Stuart knights fell on the hillside, some were shot directly by Rodrian's archers, but more died under the obstruction of their companions.

The screams of horror and terror were incessant.

Count Stuart looked at his feet and froze there.

Arthras sighed deeply, he looked at Stuart beside him with some sympathy, and said in a deep voice: "Evacuating now can at least reduce the losses!"

Stuart glanced at him, probably the screams in his ears made him wake up quickly, he gritted his teeth, and no matter how unwilling he was, he could only give up.

However.

He was not given the opportunity to order a retreat at all.

The hillside suddenly regenerates.

Originally, the slope was not steep, and it could barely adapt to the slope of the hill where the knight charged, and it was extremely strange to change dramatically, the flat hillside was suddenly uneven, and some knights were on the way to charge, and suddenly felt that the war horse was like stepping on a swamp, and under the action of violent inertia, they could no longer control the war horse;

Enchanter.

The master of the earth element under the fourth law is at least a vast magic that can only be released when the compatibility with the earth element reaches 20 blocks or higher.

On the battlefield, magicians will always be the 'darlings of God', not to mention that the magicians hidden in the team have at least level 8 terrifying strength!

Despair finally completely surrounds Count Stuart.

He looked at his feet with gloomy eyes, and two young men appeared there at some point, and although they were far away, he could clearly see the young man with fiery red hair sneering.

Meanwhile.

Rodrian's defense is obviously not just defense, seeing that the knights who charged down on the hillside have lost more than half, and they no longer have the sharpness to charge, he didn't give those attackers a chance to evacuate, and directly ordered the knights behind him to dismount and pursue!

Those knights had no spears, only swords.

The Knight of the Sword is undoubtedly more terrifying on a battlefield like this, where the situation is completely one-sided.

He's simply going to slaughter everyone who tries to attack him!

The Stuart knights, who were lucky enough to rush to the bottom of the hill and were still alive, fell into the hands of these knights almost as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, and they didn't even have time to struggle, and then, with the big sword upside down, Rodrien's sword knight launched a pursuit towards the hillside, whether it was momentum or personal strength, the speed of the pursuit also made Stuart and Arthras deeply feel the terrible strength of the real magnates of the empire.

Where is this an attack, it is simply a death!

At the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the blood on the hillside, countless war horses and knight corpses, Sebastian, who had a detached personality, sneered: "Douglas was attacked by such a group of knights? Even the robbers of the empire are more like knights than them!" After a pause, Sebastian looked carefully at the insignia on the chest of the knights on the ground, and said to Levor beside him: "That damn Augustus didn't come, and this group of knights is not his knight, I didn't see a purple iris badge." ”

Lev regretted slightly: "It's a pity that this feast of death that we have carefully prepared for him. ”

......

At the same time as the unilateral slaughter of the Grand Canyon of the Alps was taking place, Augustus truly crossed the Siberian taiga for the first time.

The cold winter is about to pass, more and more adventurers are active in the taiga again, Augustus paid a sum of gold to hire an adventurer familiar with the taiga to lead the way, it only took two days to pass through the taiga, set foot in the realm of the northern lich, as far as the eye can see, the sky is vast, can only vaguely see the scattered stone houses and grass huts of an orc tribe closest to the taiga. Even outside the Lich, Augustus did not continue to go deeper, on the one hand, time did not allow, and on the other hand, his strength was not enough to support him to go deep into the hinterland of the Lich Domain, for thousands of years, countless people who returned from the Lich Hinterland brought back only information about the dangers of the North.

He half-crouched on the ground, looking out into the distance, and picked up a vine and grass.

Thinking that Térina there might be in danger or besieged, how many times he had the urge to plunge headlong into the depths of the North.

But he couldn't, at least not yet.

He pinched the grass in his hand fiercely, finally stood up, and said, "Go back." ”

Behind him, the Messiah of the Inquisition who came with him again frowned, "I finally got here, and I won't continue to walk forward?"

"There's no need, it's basically certain that the orcs have indeed launched a war against the Titans and Shamans, what can we do even if we go deeper? Bring little Terina out of the siege of the orcs? With you and me?" Augustus glanced at the Messiah, laughed at himself, and said: "I know that your innate rejection of darkness in your bones makes you want to go deep into the north, but not now, I don't have time to go further, that young master Sebastian from the imperial capital may come at any time, I have to make some preparations to meet him." ”

Even though he and Augustus came to the taiga no less than 20 times, it was still difficult for the Messiah to face this number one heretic calmly.

She made no secret of his sarcasm: "Your life is really full and wonderful. ”

Augustus shrugged his shoulders and turned back, not saying anything more.

Life is an endless struggle against all kinds of difficulties, a battle of being outnumbered.
