Chapter 229: The Battle of the Siege
>,!
The sound of horses' hooves was heard suddenly, and the sleeping Templars in the alliance quickly put on their armor and spears, and the defensive array was quickly formed.
"Commander, the crusaders have attacked at night and have arrived at the door",
The emir waved his hand and signaled him to enter the defensive formation, and the suspicions in his heart were heavy one after another, the crusader's night attack was naturally because of the news of the Meyer family's gold, but he had already strictly ordered the news to be blocked, who leaked this news?
Why did the Crusaders report that they had already reached the gate? It stands to reason that the Templars who were guarding behind the goat's head stele when the Crusaders marched should have realized that they had been killed without warning, and that they had been killed, but who could have killed the four Templars without a word?
He didn't have time to think anymore.
At the gate of the Alliance, Igniz rode up, and behind him was a black cavalry, and the entire valley had been occupied by 20,000 crusaders.
He looked at Emir and Neo from afar, his eyes a little playful.
Although the emir was on the side that was surrounded, he was fearless in the face of an army of twenty thousand and said with a smile: "Ignaiz, if there is no reasonable explanation today, the knights will make you regret your ignorance",
The Crusaders had been hostile to the Knights since the first day of their existence, but they were both armies of the Holy See, and the two armies had never fought each other, and in Igniz's eyes, the emir was just a hairy boy, too young compared to his long-lived 4 ∈.
He didn't take the emir in his eyes, so how could the emir put him in his eyes? For the emir, who had gradually become the commander of the strongest army on the continent by relying on his real military exploits, Ignaz's intrigues and tricks were not worth mentioning at all.
As soon as the two met, they were already on the tip of the needle.
Igniz smiled, "Emir, I have received reliable information that the puppeteer Roger has hidden the gold of the Meyer family here. This gold is of great importance to the Holy See. I think it is up to our army to bring the gold back to the Holy See".
The emir laughed, and his taunt was unobstructed.
"Come, bring out all the gold in the vault",
"Yes",
Several Templars at the rear of the defensive array quickly packed the gold from the two vaults in chests and stacked them up.
The emir looked at Igniz and provocatively said: "All the gold you want is here, you can take him as best you can",
At the same time, with a wave of the spear in his hand, the defensive array of the knights quickly shrank and formed a circle. This is the most impeccable circular defensive array of the Knights.
There was also a small circle within the circle of defenses, consisting of twelve dismounted Templars, whose position in the Order was not that of a charging knight, but of a priest who was responsible for healing wounds.
The defensive array and the guns were unanimous to the outside, and the knights showed their edge.
The meaning of the emir is simple, if you want this gold, the crusaders will try to break through the defense of the Knights.
Igniz smiled slyly: "Emir, I belong to the Holy See equally, how can I do anything to the Knights, it's just",
"If the Knights refuse to hand over this gold, I'm afraid our army will have to surround you for a few days. As far as I know, there aren't many supplies here."
He saw very clearly, no matter who made the first move now, it would inevitably get into trouble, and if the crusaders attacked the Knights, the crime of rebellion would be implemented, and he didn't need to do anything, the besieged Knights lacked water and food, and they couldn't last long.
Neo's face under the helmet couldn't help but turn cold, compared to Igniz, neither he nor the emir were hot.
The emir's reaction, however, was even more unexpected.
He smiled and said, "Knights, change formation",
With a neat pace adjustment, the original round formation suddenly elongated into an ellipse, which was only a small change, but the meaning was completely different, and the knights had changed from a defensive formation to an offensive formation.
Ignatz's face changed slightly, but then he smiled again.
"Emir, are you going to attack your own army?",
If the Knights take the lead in attacking, let's not say whether they can win or not, at least the handle is not in the Crusaders.
Emile laughed: "I don't know if Neo's words were brought, but I can say it again",
"The Order does not mind bloodbathing the Crusaders if they obstruct them",
The words that came out of the mouth of the head of the knights were sonorous and powerful, and his powerful self-infection infected everyone present, and the murderous aura of the knights became stronger and stronger.
"I will only give you one chance, exit the Valley of the Guillotine, otherwise, the Knights will charge",
Igniz smiled contemptuously and unwaveringly, and the army behind him was as steady as Mount Tai.
The emir said no more, and waved his hand.
"Kill",
One word, a chilling murderous aura, the emir rushed towards Igniz first, and the array behind him moved forward neatly, and the spears were outward, just a charge, and the crusaders behind Igniz fell in rows, and the attacks of the knights were all fatal.
Soon there was a shout of slaughter, screams, and the war began in the quietest way of the night.
"The Knights are really decisive", Nikolai Road on the mountain peaks in the distance.
Beside him, Roger and Corvo were also silently observing the battle, and the start of the war between the Crusaders and the Knights was expected, but Roger did not expect it to be so soon.
In fact, he had already devised several ways to speed up the pace of their war, but he had not been able to use any of them.
"Who can win?",
The most elite Templar Order on the mainland, the Crusaders known for their sheer numbers, he doesn't know who will win, but there is no doubt that it will be a good thing for the Valley of the Guillotine.
Roger said: "Their war is only the beginning, far from the end", he turned his head to look at Nikolai and said: "When they decide the winner, it is when the funeral sect makes a move, I have created the best opportunity for you",
Nikolai said: "Isn't the Valley of the Guillotine going to make a move?",
This was the Templars' war to wipe out the Valley of the Guillotine, but so far not a single soldier had been mobilized in the Valley of the Guillotine.
Roger said: "Whether it is an individual battle or a group battle, the important thing is to give full play to each other's advantages, the Valley of the Severed Head is good at intelligence, the Burial Sect is suitable for head-on confrontation, your efforts are also worth it, whether you defeat the Crusaders or the Knights Funeral Cult will benefit a lot",
Nikolai laughed, "The only defeat of the most elite Templar order on the continent in its history of conquest was due to the puppeteer, and it was also the one with the greatest casualties."
"This time their opponent is a puppeteer again, and it is a sad thing to choose the wrong opponent",
The course and trajectory of this war has completely changed under Roger's arrangement, and no one can predict how it will end.
Roger sneered: "Yes, it's sad to choose the wrong opponent",
It's not just the Knights and Crusaders who have chosen the wrong opponent. (To be continued......)
