Chapter 2 is concerned

The sunset is like blood.

The sunset smeared the bright red that seemed to be so thick that it seemed to be impossible to dissolve on the otherwise silver, endless mountain forest. Large flocks of resident birds are flying back to their nests, chirping one after another.

The sound of horses' hooves broke the peace of the mountains and forests, and dozens of horsemen galloped down from the distant mountains like thunder, rushing into the dense forest without slowing down!

All of these knights were very skillful, and the men and horses were almost integrated, and they were extremely agile in the dense primeval forest, and the speed was not much slower than when galloping on the plains.

The birds were frightened and flew up. The beast also instinctively sensed the threat, and had already hidden without a trace. Even the occasional fierce monster smelled the unusual smell in the air and gave way to the knights early.

The galloping knights were all dressed in short linen robes.

This is usually the undercoat under the full armor of the Heavy Knights, but strangely, none of these Knights have any heavy armor on them.

Their bodies all flashed with a faint light of fighting spirit, and they followed the knight who was riding on a pure black war horse at the front with great concentration, and kept running towards the depths of the forest.

It wasn't long before the figure of a knight appeared on the hill in the distance, his armor reflecting the light of the setting sun, dazzlingly bright.

Then there was a rumbling of hooves, and one knight after another galloped up the hill, forming a neat line behind the knight.

Several knights rode up behind the leader, intently observing the position of the startled birds in the primeval forest. One of them spoke: "Lord Sallius, I really didn't expect it! They were able to run so far in just a moment! Lord Sallius, the whole army could not catch up with them in an assault. I'll take 200 pioneers to chase after it!"

Sallius had a neatly trimmed beard and looked to be close to forty years old. He snorted lightly and said, "I can't catch up." Wrap up!"

The knight was a little unconvinced, and said, "My lord, I am at least fifty percent sure that I can catch up with them!"

"What are you doing when you catch up?

The young knight's face turned a little red, and he raised his voice and said: "It didn't take much time for us to clean up that knight of the round table and more than thirty golden lion knights just now, and we lost less than fifty horsemen! I think they are just like that, it's enough to give me two hundred men! Their long-distance endurance is much stronger than ours, and if we don't chase them, we won't be able to catch up! How can we explain when we go back?"

Sallius snorted coldly and asked, "Naturally, I will bear all the responsibility! It's not your turn to your heart! Do you look down on the Golden Lion Knight? Let me ask you, how many people are you able to hold a thousand knights dead for ten minutes? Think about it! Close the team!!"

Before you know it, the moon rises and sets.

The rumbling hooves kept a constant speed in the alternation of night and night, all the way east. Except for a short break every two hours, there were no stops.

After three days, the knights finally walked out of the mountains and onto the endless plains.

With a long neigh, the horses fell to the ground one by one, and none of them were spared.

All the knights were in rags, and the light of the fighting spirit was long gone. Except for Charlie, the Knight of the Round Table, who was still tall, the rest of the knights sat down weakly and could no longer stand up.

Charlie silently swung his sword and dismembered the horse that had been with him for many years, and then built a fire and grilled the horse meat. All the Golden Lion Knights were silent and began to dismember their horses. These companions, who have faithfully accompanied them through countless battles, will continue to be flesh and blood with their masters in another way.

At dusk, thirty-one earthen bags were left forever at the foot of the Central Mountain Range. The Golden Lion Knights walked slowly but surely into the depths of the plain.

Charlie was familiar with the geography of the continent and knew that this was already the territory of the Delaware Empire, and it was quite far from the battlefield in the south. The Delaware Empire was not a martial artist, and was not yet involved in the wars in the South. They're relatively safe here.

After two days of walking on the vast plains, passing over many small villages, Charles finally saw a wide main road. From here they turned north, and in less than a day, a small town was in sight.

Once here, there is no need to worry about pursuers. Charlie decided to make a little repair here and replenish some supplies of war horses, and then continue north, bypassing the Central Mountains and heading to the Asrofik Empire.

Looking at the thirty golden lion knights who silently followed him behind him, Charlie couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. Who would have thought that in more than a year, the once mighty Golden Lion Knights would fall to such a state?!

The Golden Lion Knights now have nothing but a long sword in their hands in addition to a set of clothes. The armor and miscellaneous belongings were all thrown away long before they could escape. During three days and three nights of galloping, a dozen strong knights fell forever in the forest. The remaining thirty knights are the best knights in every way.

The sudden interception a few days ago has always been a huge shadow in Charlie's heart.

He had no idea where the thousand lightly armed knights came from. But they were well-trained and ruthless, and the knights at the head possessed excellent commanding skills. The two Knights of the Round Table were battle-hardened and both were capable of scheming and decisive, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they immediately led half of the Golden Lion Knights to fight to the death. Charlie fled with all his might with the remaining half of the men.

It's better to escape half than to be wiped out.

Chari knew that the main messenger of this interception would never be the Pope. He had specifically sought the papal consent to leave the city of Lille.

The lethargic pope gave him only one sentence: "Whatever you think and ask you will find in the north." ”

If the Pope wants them to stay, he is fully capable of erasing them from the world without leaving a trace, so why bother?

Excluding the Church, there is only one person in the Duchy of Bavaria who has the ability to mobilize so many mysterious knights to intercept and kill himself.

The thought that the Grand Duke dared to ignore the Pope's wishes and start to intercept and kill, Charlie couldn't help but feel a chill.

Charlie was thinking about it when a knight whispered in his ear, "Lord Charlie, shall we find a place to settle down first?" ”

Charlie looked left and right, and sure enough, the residents of the town were secretly watching them. Seeing Charlie's gaze sweeping, everyone was afraid, and even some vendors began to close their stalls.

Charlie looked back, and the thirty golden lion knights who followed him were all in tattered clothes, expressionless, and murderous. How can they look like a half-way knights? It's clearly a bunch of outlaws!

He was afraid of causing a stir. I saw a small inn on the side of the road, which looked elegant and clean, and the beautiful female shopkeeper was busy. The most rare thing is that she occasionally looks at this side without any fear. With a wave of Charlie's hand, thirty knights swarmed into the inn, filling it to the brim.

There were originally many customers in the small shop, but at this moment, they threw the money on the table and fled. A few maids couldn't stop it.

Neither the female shopkeeper nor Charlie expected this.

The female shopkeeper opened her big beautiful eyes, looked at the fleeing customers, and greeted them again and again, but to no avail. She stamped her foot in such a hurry that she turned her head to stare at Charlie angrily.

Charlie also felt a little embarrassed, but he was not good at words, and with a wave of his hand, the Golden Lion Knights looked for a place to sit down. Naturally, they blocked all the main thoroughfares, leaving only a winding path for people inside and outside the store. Charlie touched his body up and down, where could he find half a gold coin? He ripped off the necklace around his neck and handed it over.

The necklace handed over by Charlie was made of delicate white gold, with a sparkling sapphire in the center. The female shopkeeper saw it and exclaimed in a low voice!

A deep male voice in the hotel asked, "Why is it so noisy outside?"

A tall man walked out, and he was frightened on the spot when he saw that there were suddenly so many fierce-looking men in the lobby. Despite his paleness, he pulled Lilith behind him and shouted, "Who are you, what do you want?"

Charlie glanced the man up and down. As the head of the Knights of the Round Table, he had such a powerful vision, and he immediately saw that he was a retired knight, his skills were okay, and his fighting spirit level was estimated to be around level six or seven. Any of the Golden Lion Knight present was at least a tenth-level knight, and he actually dared to come forward, it seemed that he really had a lot of love for this female shopkeeper.

Charlie suddenly had the heart to try. In the man's horrified gaze, he stood still, the milky white flame condensed by the fighting spirit was ignited, and he reached out and buckled it to the man's throat!

Seeing Charlie's vindictive flames, there was a burst of despair in the man's eyes, but considering the female shopkeeper behind him, he did not retreat, but advanced, roared lowly, and buckled Charlie's throat with his backhand!

But when his big hands touched the flames of fighting energy around Charlie's body, he couldn't move forward anymore!

"What are you going to do!" An exclamation came from the small mouth of the female shopkeeper, and she suddenly flashed out from behind the man, and a pair of small hands made a clever arc and slapped Charlie under the ribs!

Charlie's vindictiveness suddenly lit up, and he bounced the female shopkeeper and the man back. But he couldn't help but take a step back, a pang of disgust in his chest.

Charlie was taken aback, the female shopkeeper was obviously not strong, but she made herself suffer a small loss. He is very familiar with such a ruthless fighting spirit!

"It's Starry Sky!Who are you Andre and Pross!" Charlie whispered.

Andre and Prosis were faintly opponents of Ophorok, and all the Golden Lion Knights stood up, their fighting spirits shining one after another. The atmosphere in the store suddenly became tense!

Charlie always felt that the shopkeeper was very familiar, and when he looked closely, he suddenly said excitedly: "I remember, you are Lilith! I have seen you before." I'm from the Golden Lion Knights, huh! Why are you here? Rogge! Is he here too!?"

Hearing Rogge's name, Lilith froze suddenly, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

The man was taken aback and asked urgently: "What's wrong with you? Don't be afraid, it's a big deal that I'll fight with them!"

Lilith wiped her tears and smiled reluctantly, "Karn! I'm fine, these people are my former friends, and I didn't recognize them at once. The boy is crying again, dear, go and put him to sleep!"

She instructed the maid to prepare the meal room again, and then sat down beside Charlie and asked in a low voice, "I haven't heard from him for a long time." Can you tell me what happened to him? Ever since I was hunted down by the Principality and fled, I ...... He was never heard from again. ”

Charlie smiled bitterly, recounted what had happened in the principality recently, and finally said, "That's it." The Golden Lion Knights are completely gone, and we are now the same as you, the target of the Duchy's hunt. By the way, why didn't Rog stay with you? This Karn has a bit of a backbone, who is he?"

"Karn is my husband now. He's a very nice guy, and if it weren't for him, I might have died here. .......As for Rogge, he... He ......" Lilith's tears fell uncontrollably again, and at last she fell on the table and wept bitterly: "How could he have had me in his heart......! But it doesn't matter, I still love him...... But once I got here, I really couldn't help it......"

Charlie was at a loss, he didn't know how to comfort the poor girl. He knew perfectly well that for the aristocracy, a commoner girl like Lilith was often just an object of play.

Lilith sat up straight suddenly, wiped away her tears, and reluctantly smiled: "I'm sorry, it's the first time I've seen someone from the principality, and I'm out of shape." You're all tired, and it's time for your meal to be ready. How long are you going to stay here?"

"After dinner, we set off. Can you help us buy some new clothes, it's a bit scary. With that, Charlie placed the necklace in Lilith's palm. "We don't have any money on us, so this necklace is even the money for food!"

Lilith pushed the necklace back and shook her head, "It's too much, I can buy a dozen stores like mine." ”

"War together, you can't do it without money. Even if it's for the sake of the kids, take it!"

When Lilith heard 'For the sake of the child', her eyes turned red again, and she silently put away the necklace.

The Golden Lion Knights finished their meal, changed into new clothes, and left the store to prepare for departure. The town is really not big, and they can't buy a war horse, so they have to go to the bigger town to make plans.

"Wait!" Lilith hurriedly chased out of the store.

She looked at Charlie, hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind: "Lord Charlie, if you can see Rogge in the future, tell him and let him ...... when he is free When I have time....... come back to see his son!"

Rog, who was thousands of miles away, did not know that he had become a father. At this moment, he studied with Clarke, Marshal Elam and a group of generals of the Leighton Kingdom to finalize the final march route to attack the three principalities of the Highlands.

In the center of the lavish marching tent was a brand new map. The brainchild of the Elven Scouts, this map captures all the mountains, rivers, roads, and towns of the Three Highlands in such detail that these long-time generals have been in charge of the map in such detail that they have been in charge for many years. They couldn't help but reestimate Rogge's strength.

In this expedition to the three principalities of the Highlands, the Leighton Kingdom was determined to win, and sent a full 25,000 troops. Rogge also took up the 4,000 troops of the Principality of Are, plus 2,500 elven warriors, and formed an alliance with the army of the Leighton Kingdom.

While the diplomats of the Three Highlands were still arguing with the diplomats of the Kingdom of Llayton and the Duchy of Arei in the Council of the Holy Alliance, the combined forces of the two countries had begun to secretly assemble on the border.

The Leighton Kingdom really lived up to its reputation as the number one power of the Holy Alliance, and it took only two days for the 25,000 troops to be assembled. Leading the army was none other than Clark's uncle, Marshal Elhms, the kingdom.

The arrogant King Romon never took the Council of the Holy Alliance too seriously. It seemed to him that it was only a place to find a righteous excuse for the action that was to be taken. The deal that should have been done has already been done under the table, and the things that are discussed in the council are just going through the motions. In the life of King Romon Yingwu, he had several major battles with the Asrofik Empire, and they were all victories and defeats, so the second-rate small countries such as the Three Highland Duchy were not in his eyes. What is it to start a war? In King Romon's view, winning the favor of his newfound elf beauty was far more important than the life or death of a few thousand soldiers.

Since the first sight of this elven little beauty, King Romon in his sixties seems to have rediscovered the hot-blooded youth of his twenties! He has now begun to like the court magician of the Duchy of Arei from the bottom of his heart, and even thinks about whether to remove the current court master of the Leighton Kingdom so that he can replace it with the incomparably lovely Rogge.

The beautiful appearance, impeccable temperament, and weak figure all made King Romon take his soul. No matter which way you evaluate it, this little elf beauty is the best choice of elves, far surpassing the elf woman that Romon has ever seen.

But this elven beauty never smiled, which made King Romon's heart gloomy.

After his repeated questioning, the elf beauty finally spoke. She said that the elves followed the great mage Rog to the north to seal the demons, but Rog was plotted by the three principalities of the Highlands, and then they sent troops to attack the elven base camp and capture her countless brothers and sisters. As long as she thought of the torture that these brothers and sisters were said to have suffered, she could not be happy.

On the third day of her arrival in the kingdom of Leighton, the melancholy elf beauty fell ill, and she became so sick that she almost stopped eating. King Romon immediately looked ten years old.

He knew about the sneak attack and plunder of the elves of the three principalities of the Highlands, but he didn't take it seriously. But now that this matter involves the life and death of his heart, this feeling is completely different!

The enraged old king immediately summoned the ministers of the kingdom and announced that Marshal Erafas would lead the troops, and that he would no longer wait for the decision of the Council of the Holy Alliance, and immediately declare war on the three principalities of the Highlands! The ministers looked at each other, but no one was willing to disobey the angry king. Field Marshal Elhms, who was in power, was also very supportive of this decision, and the three principalities of the Highlands did not respect the decree of the Grand Duke Tikrik during his lifetime, and the ministers acquiesced in this decision. What's more, after annexing the two largest of the three principalities, the power of the Leighton Kingdom will be far superior to that of the other countries of the Holy Alliance. Unifying the Holy Alliance may no longer be just a dream.

Thus broke out the civil war of the Holy Alliance.

It was all just as Rogge expected. The king of the kingdom of Leighton has supreme authority, and in order to indulge the behavior of such a large country, it is only necessary to settle a few people.

The elven beauty, who was extremely talented in drama and art, was the most powerful trump card in Rogge's hand. As she matures, the power of the card will begin to shine. Rogge had no doubt about that.

No matter what the cost, Rogge was determined to completely destroy the Three Highland Duchy. He must make all the people of the Holy Alliance see the fate of the Raiding Elves, and he must put an end to their greed once and for all. Rog wants everyone to know what will happen if he dares to put his claws in his pocket, it will hurt, it hurts unbearably! He doesn't have this strength now, but the Leighton Kingdom has this kind of strength, and it is really worth it to pay that elf beauty.

During the two-day military meeting on the border, Rogge always took Wind Butterfly and Adjani with him, but did not allow them to speak, only to watch and listen. If there is a problem, he will explain it in detail in the evening.

Marshal Erafas was quite familiar with military strategy, and he knew that although the country of the Snow Falcon had the least military strength among the three highland countries, with the presence of the Duke of Anas, its combat power was definitely not much lower than that of the other two countries. He intended to test the combat power of the Rogge Elven Guard, so he immediately agreed to Rogge's request to face the country of the Snow Falcon.

The big strategy was quickly decided, and the generals discussed the details of the battle for the rest of the day. After two days' work, the entire battle plan took shape.

Since the total military strength of the three highland principalities is only 40,000 people, and it is necessary to divide troops to defend three capitals and more than ten large and small cities, and the total strength of the coalition army this time has reached 32,000 people, all the generals unanimously agreed to seek a decisive battle with the main forces of the three highlands as soon as possible, so as not to have too many nights and dreams, which will lead to a backlash from other countries of the Holy Alliance, and even invite another invasion of the Asrofik Empire. Fortunately, it is now a harsh winter, and the Asrofik [***] team is inconvenient to mobilize, and it is difficult to replenish. If you want to send troops to rob while the fire is burning, it will take a month to do it.

As soon as the military discussion ended, with the sound of the horn, tens of thousands of coalition troops packed up the camp and slowly opened up.

The direction of the soldiers is Luoyun City, the capital of the Goshawk Country. The warriors of the northern kingdom are fierce and proud, and unless there are special circumstances, they will never abandon the city without a fight, and the country of goshawks is the most powerful of the three principalities in the highlands, and it is difficult to tolerate the capital falling into the hands of the enemy. The surrounding area of Luoyun City is flat, which is just right for the decisive battle of the army.

The coalition army marched like this, hoping to start a decisive battle with the Three Highland Kingdoms under Luoyun City and defeat the main forces of the Three Kingdoms in one fell swoop.

In the affluent south, heavy cavalry was a very expensive type of troops, and even more so in the north. Of the 25,000 men sent by the Duchy of Leighton, there were only 1,000 hoplites and 4,000 light cavalry. The rest were eight thousand hoplites, ten thousand light infantry, and two thousand longbowmen. But most of the military might of the Layton Kingdom comes from these heavily armed knights. A small principality with a weaker national strength simply can't afford to support more than a hundred heavily armed knights.

Field Marshal Elam was over fifty years old, very thin, and his eyes were extremely sharp. His marching formation was tight and sturdy, and he did not leak a drop of water, which made Rogge admire.

Field Marshal Alam is not a military genius like Opirok, but he has very few flaws in leading his troops, and it is not easy to defeat him.

The marshal personally led 20,000 troops in the center, and the remaining 5,000 troops advanced in parallel ten miles to the right, guarding the right flank of the army. Rogge led the army of the Duchy of Arei and the elves on the left flank of the army.

This is the largest coordinated battle between the elves and the Terrans since the Millennium War. Walking in the middle of the rugged North [***] team, the elves appear elegant, delicate and delicate. In the eyes of the warriors of the northern kingdom, the elves did not have the slightest bit of the fierceness that a warrior should have, and they were too elegant and soft. But the elf's elaborate longbow reminds the Northlanders that this is more than just a nice toy.

Among the elven knights are eight knights in plain dark green cloaks. They were none other than the eight elven magicians that Rogge had urgently transferred. Although it has been concluded that the elves are not good at large-scale legion battles and fortified battles on the plains, Rogge is still confident that he will teach the Duke of Annas a hard lesson. After all, he not only had elves in his hands, but also a thousand knights and three thousand infantry from the Duchy of Are.

When it was said that there was a battle outside the oracle city, Rog was impressed by the toughness of the Annas ace hoplites, so this time the fat man came prepared to wipe out all his elite heavy infantry in one fell swoop.

Rogce horses march with the army.

Under the gorgeous black mage robe, his body became even more bloated, and the Ryoma under the seat also looked a little struggling.

It's not that he's grown a lot of fat, it's that he's wearing a special full-body armor that has strengthened his defense under his mage robes. In front of the generals of the Duchy of Leighton, Rogge is a great magician, how can a magician wear full body armor? The fat man knows that the nobles judge people by their appearance, so the black magician robe is extremely gorgeous. Fortunately, there has never been a shortage of art masters among the elves, who have been able to make this glittering thing with countless jewels only luxurious, without the cheesiness of the nouveau riche.

Rogge's movements on the horse are clumsy, and sometimes he makes an occasional mistake when he grabs something. Most of the fat people's movements are not flexible, and the physique of the magician is notoriously poor, so the generals of the Duchy of Leighton don't care.

But Adjani and Windbutterfly, who were closely behind Rogge, knew that this was not the case at all. Rogge was deliberately training himself to slow down and maintain the same speed as normal people.

Rogge, who has permanently solidified the acceleration technique, is no less agile than the elves. But the cost is also unexpectedly huge: the elven elder who cast this magic has completely lost all of his mana, instead of lowering his permanent surname by two levels as originally expected.

Elder Xius, who was also present at the time, just sighed, his face gloomy.

Adjani and Wind Butterfly both used full-covered helmets to hide their stunning appearances, but those who care about them can still see that they are all in a state of despair, and it is obvious that their minds are not focused on the upcoming battle.

Wind Butterfly's body was a little stiff and riding on the horse, looking a little helpless. In addition to the huge wheel saw on his back, a huge bow with green flames scattered from time to time hung on one side of the warhorse.

The bow of the Great Bow is made up of countless elven statues in various postures, which tell the most famous legends of the elven era. The two most beautiful elven girls in the legend have carved two elven maidens at both ends of the bow, and they have dedicated themselves to Shiloh, and the bowstrings like flowing springs extend from their hands.

This Elven King's Bow can not only fire endless magic arrows, but also enhance the power of the Elves' magic longbows in a considerable range, which is really a terrifying weapon.

Rogge sensed the undulating magic fluctuations on the Elven King's bow, and his heart was really happy, but he also had inexplicable worries.

In the early hours of this morning, Shadow Knight Raphael finished his training and rushed to join Rogge. This Elven King's Bow was brought over by Elder Xius. What Rogge was worried about was that the old fox Xiusi had sent such a divine weapon at this time as if he knew what was going on in his heart.

This is really too coincidental, originally he only had a plan that was seventy percent sure, but after having the Elven King's Bow, the certainty immediately increased to ten percent.

At this moment, Feng Die's heart was turbulent, and she tried her best to suppress the trembling of her slender hand.

In the shadows behind her, Raphael, the Shadow Knight, the former Templar Keeper Rumsfeld, is hiding there!

Feng Die really can't tell what kind of feeling in her heart, and the person she loves the most rides with her......

However, the person he loved so much was just a shell, and Rumsfeld's soul mark had been completely erased. In his shell was now a whole new soul, an emotionless cold-blooded animal, a puppet of Rogge.

The person she loves the most has completely turned into a murderous sword for Rogge!

Wind Butterfly has just made up her mind to completely turn her bitter hatred into love for Rogge, and then drag him to hell with her. But in the blink of an eye, Rogge arranged for Raphael to ride with him. She knew that Rogge meant it, but Wind Butterfly was unwilling to admit defeat.

The war horse leaped lightly forward.

Raphael, as if he had no weight, fluttered completely with the ups and downs of the war horse, and the distance between him and the wind butterfly was always kept at an inch, not a single point more, not a point less.

Wind Butterfly's will is once again on the verge of collapse.

"I'm not going crazy! I'm going to forget everything in the past! I'm going to fall in love with Rogge......"

The hysterical cry echoed in Wind Butterfly's heart over and over again......

The Three Highland Duchyes have given up their last efforts in the Holy Alliance Council. Trying to reach a resolution in a place like Parliament is a long-lasting thing. What's more, they also had a reason to lose after all, the news that the sneak attack on the elves almost unleashed the demons had spread throughout the Holy Alliance, and at that time, thousands of people had witnessed the terrifying scene of the demons resurrected.

This time, the reaction of the Layton Kingdom and the Principality of Arei was unexpectedly fierce and unsparing. Before the Holy Alliance could react, the combined forces of the two countries completed their assembly and officially declared war on the three highland principalities.

From the scout's intelligence, Rogge knew that the armies of the three highland principalities were now also beginning to gather rapidly and march towards Falling Cloud City. Small groups of Rangers also began to appear around Rog's ranks. But these hapless cavalrymen encountered the dark side of the moon, and there was only one way to die. The elves' superb bowing skills were put to good use in the hands of the Knights of the Dark Side of the Moon, who shot their horses first, then killed, and did not escape alive from a single ranger.

On the road leading to Falling Cloud City by the coalition forces, there was only a small city garrisoned by more than a thousand people. Under the onslaught of Marshal Alams, it only lasted half a day before it fell.

Now, between Luoyun City and the coalition forces, there is only a hundred miles of Pingchuan.

Rogge ordered the whole army to turn around and slowly move closer to Marshal Elams. The three-way army maintained a distance of about three miles and began to approach Luoyun City.

After a night's rest, the coalition forces were assembled, lined up in neat formations, and began to march.

It was close to noon, and the flag fluttering in Falling Cloud City slowly became clear in the distance. Subsequently, patches of banners and dense spears also became clear from the clouds.

The main forces of the Three Highlands have already fought in front of Falling Cloud City, although the military strength is not superior, but relying on the strong defense of Falling Cloud City and brave warriors, they still decided to fight to the death with the coalition forces.

Marshal Elam pointed his sword to the sky, and with the sound of a long horn, the army moved slowly and began to line up.

In the wind, Rogge's movements were still a little clumsy, but his eyes were clear. He observed the formation of the enemy's right flank and kept giving orders. The troops of the Principality of Arei moved with it, with three thousand infantry arrays in front, one thousand snow bear knights on the left, and two thousand elven warriors behind the infantry team, all of whom were now replaced by elven longbows.

Surrounded by the dark side of the moon, Rog sat on top of Ryoma, peacefully awaiting Marshal Alams' orders.

The main force of the three principalities of the Highlands was 20,000 men, and another 3,000 were guarding the city of Luoyun. Perhaps because of the narrow road, the right flank of the Duchy's forces was led by the Duke of Annas himself, and the hoplites of the Kingdom of Snow Falcon were deployed at the forefront. The 2,000 hoplites all carried huge shields, and their four-meter-long spears pointed high into the sky, like a forest of slaughtered steel.

The three principalities of the Highlands placed their heavy infantry at the forefront, apparently in a defensive formation.

In the face of a coalition with superior forces, it is a wise strategy to defend the city.

Marshal Elam swung his sword forward, and the herald immediately blew his horn, and the coalition forces started at the same time, slowly pressing forward. Every ten steps you take, there is a shout. More than 30,000 troops shouted in unison, and the momentum immediately soared into the sky!

The coalition forces did not stop until they were outside the Lish.

With the sound of the horn, the heavily armed knights of the Principality of Leighton, who shook the Holy Alliance, instigated their war horses and formed a line of assault cavalry ten meters in front of the formation. Then the hoplites rushed out with huge shields in hand, forming several rows in front of the hoplites. The longbowmen followed the hoplites and approached until they were a stone's throw away, and then came to a halt.

The heavily armed knights rode forward again, forming a charge formation behind the archers.

In the process of arranging the coalition forces, the archers of the three highland principalities also rushed to the front under the cover of heavy shield infantry. The spear-wielding hoplites did not move, preparing to meet the charge of the famous hoplites of the Duchy of Leighton. On the high walls of Luoyun City, more than a dozen giant ballistae have been tightened with bowstrings, and a huge iron crossbow with a length of three meters has also been placed on the crossbow bed.

At the head of Luoyun City, the grand dukes of the three highland principalities were all staring intently at the battlefield in the distance. One of them turned to an old magician beside him and said, "Master Lapas, now that the enemy has the advantage in strength, we will have to rely on the master's thunder and lightning magic to teach these arrogant people a good lesson!"

Lapas's heart was beating wildly, but his face was proud, and he agreed.

Anas was defeated in the City of Oracles, but it was because the power of demons was beyond the power of man. The terrifying power of the Rapasray magic was well known, so as soon as he returned to the Three Highlands, the old magician was immediately praised as a god. The reason why the three principalities of the Highlands dared to fight brazenly was also due to the existence of Lapas. The old magician's large-scale thunder and lightning magic is one of the most suitable spells for battlefield fighting.

Lapaz has a word of suffering. He was a twelfth-level magician, and it stands to reason that he was already very powerful. However, it is said that Rogge, the great magician who led the army of the Principality of Are, easily killed the eleventh-level former court magician Gnawara, and he was really not sure that he would be able to defeat Rogge.

The long sound of the horn suddenly resounded through the night, startling the pensive rapaz.

The archers of the two armies received the order, bent their bows to the sky, and the rain of arrows streaked through the sky and fell into the opposing formation!

The Great War has finally begun.

The infantry shouted, and the huge shields were raised one after another, blocking the rain of arrows in the sky. But there were still many long arrows that passed through the gaps between the shields and plunged deep into the soldiers' bodies! More powerful and powerful arrows pierced the hand shields held by the light infantry and stuck them in the head and face!

While the two armies exchanged fire, the left flank of the coalition forces was surprisingly calm.

Instead of continuing to advance, the infantry of the Duchy of Arei began to shrink and remain out of range. At this time, a four-meter high platform with a temporary surname had been erected in the Rog array, and the eight elven mages all stood up, and with a shout, a hundred strong soldiers lifted the high platform and slowly walked forward.

The range of magic far exceeds that of ordinary bows and arrows, and under the protection of a heavy army, these elven mages are very safe.

The archers under Anas were momentarily overwhelmed. The enemies on the opposite side are all out of range, and it is useless to shoot at the moment. If you want to shoot at the enemy army in the center, you have to advance dozens of meters, and if the opposing cavalry rushes, these archers will be accounted for.

Anas had a gloomy face, and was still hesitating, when he was horrified to find a dense rain of arrows flying from the opposite array!

An elven warrior armed with an elven longbow has a much longer range than a human archer. What's more, under the influence of the Elven King's bow, nearly half of the elven longbows are glowing with magic slightly, and their range and power are bonus! Archery is the specialty of the elves, and the two thousand elven warriors are all comparable to the excellent archers of humans, not to mention the archery skills, the number alone far exceeds the five hundred archers of Anas.

The frightened Duke of Annas immediately discovered that the lethality of this rain of arrows was unusually great! After three waves of arrows, the archers who had no power to fight back in front of the battle suffered heavy casualties. In a fit of rage, he ordered the few remaining archers to be withdrawn.

The rain of elven arrows that had made the Terran army suffer so much during the Millennial War has finally reappeared.

With a wave of his hand, Rog slowly approached the entire formation, and the rain of arrows gradually extended forward, falling on the heads of the hoplites of Anas.

Anas had invested enough money on 2,000 hoplites, and at this distance, the elven arrow rain was not enough to penetrate their heavy armor, although it would still cause sporadic casualties, but it was completely bearable.

Seeing that the hoplites could not be helped, Rogge gave an order, and the elven arrow rain turned to shoot at the enemy in the center. Under the double blow, the archers of the central part of the enemy could no longer afford heavy casualties and retreated into formation. A rain of arrows from the coalition began to cover the enemy's infantry.

Rogge smiled coldly, observed the slightly chaotic Anas troops, and then his gaze crossed the thousands of troops and horses, and landed on the Duke of Anas, who was dressed in silver armor......

Anas suddenly felt a chill, as if he had been targeted by a poisonous snake

Zheng!

The strange sound of strings sounded one after another on the battlefield, and more than a dozen giant crossbows swept across the kilometer and flew towards the coalition forces! The three-meter-long giant crossbows were invincible, and they only landed with all their strength after piercing several people in a row, and there were often several soldiers who had not lost their breath struggling on the crossbow poles!

A giant crossbow was like thunder and lightning, shooting towards the high platform where the elven mage stood! Rogge sat still, Adjani had risen into the sky, and the long sword slashed at the giant crossbow with a white flame tail!

In the dumbfounded eyes of the two armies, the unstoppable giant crossbow turned a corner, flew diagonally upward, and fell far behind the formation. Adjani floated to the ground, also a little unsteady on her feet.

Fortunately, this kind of giant crossbow is accurate, and it takes a lot of time to reload, so the threat is not too great.

Rog said to the heralds, "Give the mages an order!" Target, hoplites ahead, cast Dread twice!"

At this moment, the Anas camp has long been within the range of the elven mage's magic. In the frightened shouts of the enemy, the magic light on the eight elven mages flashed, and sixteen pale yellow magic light balls crossed the space of hundreds of meters, divided into two waves and fell into the camp of the heavy infantry.

The tightly organized heavy infantry formation suddenly cried wolf, and dozens of infantrymen were affected by the fear technique, pushed away their comrades-in-arms, and began to flee desperately to seize the road!

"Target!Heavy Infantry, Chaos twice!"

With Rogge's second order, sixteen spots of magic light glowing slightly reddened fell on the Annas array again! The eyes of more than thirty hoplites turned blood-red, and they suddenly pulled out the short axes behind their backs and slashed down at their comrades!

"Target!Heavy Infantry, Dread Twice!" Dozens more hoplites began to flee!

The battle array of Annas is finally in chaos!

"Target!Snow Bear Knight!Bloodthirsty Technique, Infinite Use!" The Snow Bear Knight's body as a pioneer began to glow slightly red one by one, and finally dozens of Snow Bear Knights were blessed with Bloodthirsty Magic. They could barely resist the murderous intent in their hearts, and only the last line of clarity made them wait for Rogge's order.

One of the Annas arrays also lit up with magical light, and it was Rapaz. Seeing that Anas's battle array was in chaos, the three Grand Dukes on Falling Cloud City hurriedly sent Lapas to relieve the magic.

The old magician carefully hid out of the range of the opposing magician, and began to prepare for the dispersal of the group magic.

Rogge sneered, this was the moment he was waiting for!

"Wind Butterfly!"

Wind Butterfly suddenly woke up from her trance, and she immediately took off the bow of the Elven King, and with all her fighting spirit, her whole person was wrapped in green flames.

The battlefield suddenly lit up!

Rappas watched in disbelief at the sudden appearance of the large hole in his chest, unable to continue the spell with only a few syllables left, his eyes gradually losing their brightness, and he fell to the sky.

The elven archer couldn't shoot him, and the elven mage couldn't hit him, but the range of the Elven King's Bow was simply beyond his imagination......

The green flames on Wind Butterfly's body disappeared, and the whole person was sluggish, almost unable to stand.

Seeing that he had shot the other party's number one magician, Rog's eyes lit up, and he stared at Anas from afar, his lips moving slightly.

Anas's face changed suddenly, and Rogge's soft voice sounded directly in his head: "Dear Duke Anas, now, it's time for you to spit out the two hundred elves to me one by one!"

On the side of the Layton Kingdom, the mutual suppression of the archers on both sides has ended, and the army of the Layton Kingdom has the upper hand. However, the non-stop shooting of a dozen giant crossbows in the first few of Falling Cloud City also brought some casualties to the Leighton Kingdom. The casualty figures are acceptable to Marshal Elams, but the damage to the morale of the army caused by the terrifying lethality of the giant crossbow is not acceptable to the marshal

The trumpet sounded again. After surviving another wave of crossbow blows, the hoplite knight came to the front line, pointed his spear forward, and began a mountain of charge!

The infantry began to follow, and the archers' fire extended to the rear.

Seeing that Marshal Alam sent the signal for a general attack, Rogge also kept ordering: "Snow Bear Knight charge!" The mage retreats and sends two hundred men to protect the mage. Elven archers for armor-piercing arrows!Infantry attack, the whole army follows!"

A torrent of steel crashed against the sturdy causeway, setting off a monstrous wave!

The battle entered the most brutal phase, with the infantry in the front row pushing each other with their shields and trying to insert their swords into the enemy's body, while the infantry in the back pushed the infantry in front of them hard and squeezed into the opponent's formation.

The heavily armed knights had already withdrawn from the front line, and they had lost more than three hundred horsemen in a single charge, but they had managed to disrupt the strong formation of the opposing side.

Marshal Alams's face was terribly gloomy, and he observed the entire battle, counting the number of damages. In this meat-grinder-like phase of stalemate, the lives of soldiers on both sides are numbers in his mind. As long as the casualties on both sides are not too many more than those of the other side, after both sides have suffered thousands of casualties, the superiority of the coalition forces in military strength will be reflected.

Now seven hundred heavily armed knights have regrouped behind the formation, waiting for orders. Marshal Alam carefully searched for weaknesses in the opponent's formation, ready to deliver another fatal blow to the opponent!

The tide of battle on Rogge's side was much more favorable. Anas's tight hoplite formation was already in disarray, and the Snow Bear Knight took advantage of the chaos to rush in. The hoplites were inconvenient to turn around, but their defenses were so strong that the Snow Bear Knights immediately fell into a bitter battle, and one by one they were chopped off their horses.

But then Anas's hoplites met their nemesis, armor-piercing arrows fired at close range by elven archers! These armor-piercing arrows were half as heavy as ordinary bows and arrows, and the arrows were sharp and hard, and they were only a few dozen meters apart, so that the elven marksmen could easily shoot the weak parts of the armor. Armor-piercing arrows are highly poisonous, even if they do not penetrate the flesh, as long as they see blood, the soldiers who are hit by the arrows will quickly die of poison.

The elven archers were guarded by three thousand infantry, and the rain of arrows quickly increased the casualties of the Anas soldiers.

However, the Snow Bear Knight was also caught in the enemy line and could not retreat, and the casualties were rapidly expanding.

Rogge gave the order again, and the Darkside Knights of the Hundred Moons, led by Adjani, were dispatched.

Rogge is still firmly in the middle of the army. Now that Marshal Elhms's side is also beginning to gain the upper hand, if the enemy retreats into the city, it will not be too difficult for Rog, who still retains his magic power, to break through the city gates. This is also an important reason why the three highland principalities chose to fight according to the city.

Adjani pulled out the cloud slasher, and under her fighting spirit, the cloud began to glow brightly.

Her fighting spirit rose higher and higher, and finally the golden flames of fighting spirit rose to the sky! Rogge sensed Adjani's fighting spirit, and silently counted in his heart: "Eleven, twelve, thirteen...... Fourteen ...... No, it's level fifteen!"

Rogge was taken aback, when did Adjani actually break through to the fifteenth level, and the form of Dou Qi also changed from the most common green natural Dou Qi of elves to an unknown Dou Qi.

Rogge looked at Adjani in surprise, but at the same time his heart was a lot calmer. Adjani's strength has surpassed that of Wind Butterfly, and there is no danger to her life against the ordinary soldiers under Anas. As for why her strength has improved so quickly, it's not too late to ask slowly after the war.

Somehow, Rogge always felt that Adjani's fighting flame burned too brilliantly, as gorgeous as a flower desperately showing off its splendor in an instant......

Adjani turned her head to meet Rogge's gaze.

Her face was hidden in her helmet, and Rog couldn't see her expression, but saw a faint layer of mist in her eyes.

Adjani glanced at Rogge deeply, and her eyes contained endless love, reluctance, sadness, and ......

Refuse.

Adjani rode out and led the elven knights of the Dark Side of the Moon into the enemy's ranks.

Her figure dragged a golden tail of flames, looking so beautiful and sad in the battlefield of blood and fire......
