Chapter 188: Black Veil ......
In the direction of Thundering City, hundreds of defeated soldiers of the Roland Army were running wildly. Some of these people were already covered in blood, and some of them sat down on the ground and couldn't stand up anymore, and if they were injured, they had already thrown away all their armor and weapons.
At this time, even the soldiers who have a good personal relationship with each other on weekdays can't care about their companions, and they can't wait to grow two more legs and run to Thundering City in one go.
The grass and trees are all soldiers, and a crow flying in the sky above them can scare their legs and feet. If anyone is a little less courageous, he accidentally shouts in horror: "Chased after me!"
Then the scene is even better, those who still have the strength at the head speed up their pace and run wildly, and those who have no strength in the back simply cry and pull their companions around them, begging the other party to pull them to run.
ran around for an hour intermittently, and many people were so tired that the injuries on their bodies were not very serious.
However, the enemy in the equipment of the Holy Knights who sneaked up on their side did not seem to immediately pursue them......
It's not that Ziggy is too lazy to chase and kill, it's just that he doesn't need it at all. Every time he rushes through a level, Ziggy doesn't bother to care about the enemies he has defeated, and his goal is forward!
As for those Rolanders, whatever they want!
If they fled in the direction of the Pamir Plain, then Zig naturally couldn't control it, and his task was to capture the Thundering City! As long as the Thundering City didn't get the news! As for the main army of the Roland people in the Pamir Plain, they would naturally be pinned down by the main force of the Empire.
If these defeated soldiers ran in the direction of Thundering City, they could compare to the speeding Thor's whip? and rushed over, and when they were happy, they would pick up their swords and cut a few, and when they were tired, they would simply ignore them. All the way forward...... The frightened creatures were left behind to watch in amazement as the enemies who had attacked them caught up with them, but instead of rushing to kill them, they ran towards the north of the road.
Some of the Roland people, who were almost out of breath, couldn't help but wonder: "Are these guys here to beat us or to race against us?"
However, the defeated army of this last stronghold, Zig did not immediately chase after it, it was not that he was too lazy to pay attention to it, but he didn't need to ...... at all
Besides, after these hundreds of people ran wildly for an hour, the original swarm of teams gradually dispersed. The team was extended for a few hundred meters, and the powerful ones were still at the front end, and the ones without the strength were already dragging behind a hundred meters and slowly struggling......
At the forefront of the run was the officer of Roland, who was stationed in the stronghold, of course, a deputy. The one who was in charge had died heroically for the holy war, and must have returned to the arms of the great gods at this moment.
The deputy officer and a few cronies who still had strength around him saw in the dark night that a group of cavalry was faintly blocking the road in the distance, but the night was hazy. It's not very real.
These people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, this place is not far from Thundering City, it must be Thundering City's own army. They all ran over with a shouting and screaming.
The closer he ran, the more he finally saw the appearance of this cavalry in the darkness, the special knight's armor, the black cloak. And that special cross-striped battle flag is clearly a holy knight order!!
The deputy, the officer, was full of joy, and immediately turned into horror, but the Holy Knights had all gone to the front with the main legion!
Although there were doubts in his mind, he still ran a few steps forward, but it was the last few steps.
With a whoosh, an arrow had already been fired, piercing the officer's neck. This Roland man finally saw the appearance of the cavalry in front of him, hell, they were indeed the same as the enemy who had attacked him just now, they were all fakes!
And the last thought of the Roland people before they died was: Glaucoma kills people......
Roddy shot an arrow without waiting for Kraft's order, Kraft just frowned, looked coldly at this guy who made a move without permission, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Release the arrow!"
After a rain of arrows, there were not many living people left in the Roland people who rushed over.
With a wave of his hand, a group of horsemen rushed over, running back and forth twice, killing all the Rolanders they could find. Now Luo Di didn't move again, he deeply regretted in his heart, how could he shoot the arrow first without saying a word just now, or have been a duke for too long, and he didn't have the habit of hearing the order to move his hand. If you don't have an order from a magistrate in the army, you will be punished for violating military regulations!
Kraft didn't say anything, just glanced at him coldly, and said lightly: "These Roland people have been defeated, presumably Master Ziggy should have rushed over." ”
Luo Di nodded, and a strange feeling was born in his heart, which he didn't care about when he was a duke, but after being a small team leader at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of restraint in his heart.
Maybe human nature is like this, when you are used to standing in a high position, you suddenly change your identity and fall to the bottom, there is always an inexplicable sense of loss.
A group of Kraft's cavalry had already taken the main road to meet him. In a short time, Ziggy's cavalry brigade had already arrived along the main road. Although Ziegy is now the deputy commander of the corps, because it was before the war and time was pressing, Kraft did not dismount and salute, but only sat on the Marxist and owed a little.
Zieg took a deep breath, glanced at the sky, and said in a deep voice, "Commander Kraft, are your people going well?"
Kraft sat up straight and whispered, "It's going well! There are really no Roland people guarding the road, probably they haven't seen this road yet." There shouldn't be any Roland, and now we've run here. ”
Zieg nodded, sighed, and said, "Go forward for a while." Then find a hidden place for everyone to rest, recover their strength, and then at dawn, prepare to attack Thundering City!" Speaking of this, Ziggy seemed to remember something, and shouted in a low voice: "Captain Roddy!"
Roddy's heart moved, and he immediately said loudly: "Yes!"
Ziggy drove his horse slowly to Roddy's side, and looked Roddy up and down, the more he looked at this Roddy, the more strange he felt in his heart. It's just that I can't say what's wrong. Ziggy shook his head, thinking to himself that the war was imminent. Thinking about what to do so much, he immediately dispersed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Roddy, you take the Duke's personal army to enter from the tunnel, and your people are the key to the success or failure of this battle!"
As soon as this sentence came out, Roddy himself was also uncomfortable, and he was always Qiggy saluting himself on weekdays. This time the role change, I only feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
And at this moment, an unscrupulous old guy who was far away in the imperial capital burst into laughter: "This kid, now you know the benefits of being a duke, right......?" The Grand Duke who has more than 10,000 people is not right, but he wants to be a small soldier, I really don't know if he has something wrong with his brain......"
The night was as quiet as water, and although the Roland soldiers on the walls of Thundering City had already changed shifts, many of them still couldn't help but fall asleep on the battlements.
Only a group of patrol soldiers walking back and forth on the city wall looked at those who fell on the city wall and were obviously lazy, and their eyes showed envious looks.
The topography of Thundering City is extremely special, and the original general fortress city is showing a four-sided appearance, surrounded by four walls, but Thundering City is different from other city fortresses.
There are only two city walls and gates in the north and south of Thundering City, and there are natural mountain cliffs on the left and right sides, but the cliffs are exaggerated, the mountains on both sides are not very majestic and tall, and the highest slope is only about 20 meters. It's just that the terrain here is unique, the mountains on both sides are tens of miles away, and the side facing the sea is a cliff and rock cliff that has been washed by the sea for tens of millions of years.
In fact, the place where Thundering City is located is not an empty ground in the first place.
Originally, there was a small mountain range tens of miles long on the shore of the Thundering Strait. In fact, it is said that tens of thousands of years ago, this place was originally also a sea, but with the rotation of the sun and the moon, the vicissitudes of the sea, the original mountain range on the bottom of the sea has become 6 places. On both sides of this mountain range, there are potholes and rocks.6 Disordered large and small rock groups are scattered along the sea rocks...... Even if people can pass, horses and vehicles will never be able to pass.
According to this terrain, the Empire of Light selected a special section of terrain in the middle of this mountain range hundreds of years ago, spent countless manpower and money, dug a gap in one section of the mountain, and after connecting the north and south, two city walls were built in the gap between the north and the south...... This formed today's Thundering City.
At this moment, the buildings in Thundering City have long been unrecognizable, the original houses have long been destroyed in the previous war, and after the Roland people occupied Thundering City, they did not spend too much effort to rebuild for a while, but demolished more ruins, razed to the ground, and then used those stone materials to strengthen the city wall.
So at this moment, most of the Thundering City has become flat ground, and only countless military camps are stationed in the city.
Seeing that it is already dawn, it is the darkest hour before dawn every day, and the early hours of the morning are also the most exhausted and slack-off time for a person......
Somewhere in the south of the city, a black figure slowly crawled out of a well, and the figure jumped out of the well, and immediately crouched down and looked left and right on the ground, and then one figure after another crawled out of the well behind him. These people scattered into several groups, and there were hundreds of them, scattered according to different paths.
During the night, Roddy's group slowly moved towards the southern wall through the remaining buildings in the city. There were ten people in the group he led, all of them were duke's own soldiers who had been transformed by the blood clan, and relying on their familiarity with the terrain in the city, ten people hid in the ruins of a building, hiding their figures through the darkness. Although soldiers passing by from time to time on night patrol, no Roland would have thought that the enemy had unknowingly touched the city...... After all, there are still three military strongholds on the way south......
The atmosphere was suffocatingly peaceful, and Roddy squatted quietly on the ground, waiting patiently......
About after a meal. I heard a commotion in the middle of the city, and then I heard the sound of "Peng", and a shining spark flew up from the city. Soaring into the sky!!
That's exactly what was promised!
A group of people in the city deliberately made a disturbance inside, attracting the attention of the Roland army, and then told Luo Di in the south of the city and Zig and others outside the city at the same time: Do it!
The spark in the night sky shone for a long time. In the dark night, even people from more than ten miles away can see clearly.
I saw that the Roland people in the city were immediately startled, and the surrounding patrol teams rushed towards the place where the sparks shot in the city! Even the patrol team in the south of the city that had just walked by Luo Di's side ran over.
Luo Di sighed: "The Roland army really can't do it! In this case, it must be the enemy who takes advantage of the night to sneak attack." How many enemies can there be in the city? Don't be nervous at all! If I command the troops, the first thing I will do is to order people to go to the direction of the city gate for reinforcements!"
Taking a deep breath, Roddy jumped up and shouted, "Up!"
He took the lead, and his body rushed out like a civet cat.
A dozen ghostly figures rushed towards the city gate. The Rolanders under the gates immediately appeared. Some of the Roland people immediately shouted loudly, and with the shouting, Luo Di and the others had already rushed up with great speed, and the sword in their hands was cut out, and the two Roland soldiers were immediately killed.
The Roland people on the city wall were also alarmed, and groups of Roland people ran towards the city wall in a hurry, the officers were shouting loudly, and the soldiers were like headless flies in the dark, and some woke up from their sleep, and they couldn't tell what was going on.
There were hundreds of Roland people guarding the city gate, and Roddy's team was all strong men, and they suddenly rushed into the crowd of Roland soldiers, and cut down a large area in a moment!
Many Roland people haven't reacted yet, only to see some people dressed in Holy Knights costumes rushing over, for a while they haven't figured out the situation, and they are still doubting whether to make a move, but just a little hesitation, a little stunned, for these dozen people of Luo Di is enough! The sword in their hands has already cut off the head of the Roland people!
And at this moment, the other detachments in the city also began to make trouble everywhere, and there were fires in more than a dozen places, although there were only hundreds of them, but in the night, they only saw that the thundering city was full of firelight, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, but there was a lot of movement!
Luo Di and a dozen of his blood clans were like a steel knife ** In the crowd, only screams were heard in the dark, and their goal was very clear, that is, the city gate not far in front of them!!
The sound of horses' hooves outside the south gate sounded dreary, and the soldiers on the city wall had already seen the situation outside the city, and they all opened their throats and shouted: "There are cavalry! There are cavalry, !!and the enemy has attacked the city!!
The enemy is attacking the city??
The Rolanders, who were still struggling to besiege and kill Luo Di and the others under the city, were all in chaos, and the enemy was attacking the city? Where did the enemy come from? Could it be that it fell from the sky?
But listening to the hoarse shouts of the people on the city wall doesn't seem to be fake......
Luo Di slashed out with a sword, splitting the two Roland people in front of him in half, and heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the city, and his heart was also anxious, if the cavalry rushed to the city and did not open the city gate, it would be trouble! There are archers on the city wall! The cavalry who rushed to the city wall is just the target of the archers!
Luo Di gritted his teeth, looked at the blood clan soldiers who were all around him, roared, grabbed a Roland man beside him, and wheeled him up, after a series of collision sounds, the Roland man who was wheeled by him was of course broken bones, and a circle of Roland soldiers around him flew out one after another, and Luo Di casually threw out the Roland man in his hand that was already bloody and grabbed a sword on the ground. His eyes flashed suddenly, and a golden fighting aura instantly burst out of his body. Looking at the huge and thick city gate not far away, he let out a low roar, and the sword in his hand shot over with a dazzling golden fighting qi......
Just moments ago, under the city gates in the north of the city.
Two groups of Roland soldiers stood neatly on either side under the city gates. The commander of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Sauron Kingdom, the defending general of Thundering City, was saying in a respectful tone, "Sage, are you leaving tonight?"
A slender figure in front of her was shrouded in a black robe, and her head was covered by a high cloak, only to hear a clear and delicate voice say lightly: "The order of the temple has been conveyed." The contents of the fleet have already arrived, and you don't have to keep them!"
After finishing speaking, she seemed to glance faintly in the direction of the south, and there was a slight trance in a pair of slender and clear eyes. Then she turned and walked towards the city gate, and behind her were four holy knights dressed in the garbs of high knights, and the four young knights all looked at the slender back in front of them with reverence and affection.
The head of the regiment took a breath and immediately said, "Sage Lord have a good journey......! He originally wanted to take a good look at this Sage of the Roland Temple, after all, the other party was a Divine Sage! The power of such a big man was not lower than that of His Majesty the King! Although this Sage Lord seemed to be a little indifferent. And...... Obviously, her mood seems to be a little bad, but the compliment still needs to be said.
It's a pity that before the last few words were spoken, I saw a few soldiers rushing over with rolling and crawling!
The Sage and the few Holy Knights immediately turned around, and the four Holy Knights reflexively surrounded her in the middle, and the sword in their hand had already been drawn.
The regiment commander's face changed slightly, and he was about to shout at his subordinates who came to him, but he saw that his subordinates were covered with blood and their faces were full of frightened expressions, so the original words of reprimand came to his lips and changed his words: "What's the matter?......!
I didn't need to report to my subordinates, but suddenly I heard the sound of "Peng", and a shining spark burst out from the city of Thundering City, and then rushed into the sky like a meteor!
Then the silence of the night was shattered, and the shouts of killing came from every part of the city, and in a moment the flames burst into the sky.
The regimental commander's face turned pale, and he shouted: "Pass my order, the fifth battalion will show me what is going on! Could it be that the heretics of the Empire of Light have already attacked the city!!"
He was quite calm, and his heralds ran away quickly, and the Black Veil Sage seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said softly: "Your Excellency, Commander, has there been any change in the city?"
The head of the regiment already had sweat on his head, gritted his teeth and said: "The current situation is unknown, most of the Roland people have mixed into the city to make trouble...... Sage, look ......"
The Black Veil Sage seemed to frown, and said coldly, "Your Excellency is the commander of Thunder City, why did you ask me instead?"
The regiment commander nodded again and again, and replied, "...... Then ......" Speaking of this, his gaze seemed to look hesitantly at the Black Veil Sage.
The muse sighed, although he was fighting against the war, after all, his personal strength could not compete with the temple. And he was currently ordered to come to the front line, although he only conveyed the order of the temple, but the muse looked at the four holy knights beside him, and said in a low voice: "There is a change in the army, let's go over and take a look...... The four knights immediately performed a standard knightly etiquette and took a step forward.
The muse pondered for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, the enemy is in chaos in the city at night, but we have tens of thousands of troops in the city, and there is nothing to fear from some small rebel troops who have infiltrated it, their purpose must be to take advantage of the chaos to take the city gate, now please send someone to the south gate first...... There must be ...... there"
Speaking of this, the muse suddenly moved in his heart, as if there was an inexplicable and strange familiar feeling in his heart......
That...... It seems to be a golden vindictive...... Could it be him...... Was it his Holy Light Aura? Could it be that in just a few months, he had progressed to such an extent? If it weren't for him...... Why...... Why is this vindictive spirit so familiar......
For a moment, the muse forgot to speak, only felt the evening breeze blowing on his face, and looked in the direction of the south in a delusional manner, as if he was stunned......
