Chapter 831: Bartman Arrives
……
"Bastard! How could there be so many magicians! ”
Although Lakar did not participate in the battle in person, he could see clearly the many fireballs that suddenly appeared on the city wall, and he immediately secretly said that it was not good in his heart.
Sure enough, a moment later, he saw his men begin to retreat from the walls along the ladders.
Some subordinates were even too anxious to fall directly from the wall because their feet were unstable.
However, at this moment, he could only watch, and there was nothing he could do.
It was impossible not to let these subordinates retreat, the enemy had a large number of mages, and there were no Golden Knight to fight against.
Even if he went up now, surrounded by thousands of people plus magicians, he would be consumed sooner or later.
Now I can only hope that the casualties will be smaller, and I will be able to explain to the Duke later.
After all, they can be regarded as having tested the hole card of killing the god, and they can better deal with it when the Duke comes.
……
"Billy, where's Ruka?"
Five or six minutes later, the first siege of the morning was over.
Looking at the disgraced soldiers who had returned from defeat, Lakar's face sank.
The casualties were not as small as he had hoped, but a small one.
What made him even more unacceptable was that he didn't even see Ruka in the crowd.
That's the deputy commander of the legion, a knight at the peak of the Black Flag, who may become a Red Banner knight in a few years.
Ruka's death could be worse than the loss of hundreds of Golden Knights, which made him worry if he would be punished by the Duke later.
"Grand Commander, Ruka was killed by that God of Killing!"
Billy didn't dare to hide it, and immediately told what had happened on the city wall just now.
"What? Kill Ruka with just one sword? Are you sure? ”
After listening to Billy's account, Lakar was taken aback.
He knew that God Killing was strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.
According to Billy, wouldn't the god-killing strength be comparable to him, and some of them would fight!
"I'm pretty sure, Grand Commander Lakal! The killing speed was very fast, and I rushed towards him at the same time as Ruka, but his figure had already reached Ruka in a flash, and Ruka was slashed by him before he could react......"
"Also, there are at least fifty magicians on the walls......"
……
"Haha! Gervais, they retreated! What a big win! ”
On the walls of the Holy Grace City, the elite of the Golden Shield Family, which was still wreaking havoc here before, has disappeared.
Most of the elite of the Golden Shield Family who had climbed the city wall had already been ambushed, and only a few who were lucky enough to escape back through the wooden ladder.
Gandalf now approached Gervais, dressed in armor covered in enemy blood, and spoke to Gervais with great pleasure.
This is arguably the most glorious battle Gandalf has ever fought in his life.
There are 4,000 Golden Knights!
He would not have dared to think of this in Eurasia.
At that time, the Church had 3,000 silver knights who could sweep the entire continent, and if it weren't for the appearance of Gervais, then Eurasia would have completely fallen under the iron hooves of the Church at this time.
And now, in just over a year, they have repelled four thousand Golden Knights armed to the teeth, and if he goes back and tells those old friends, I'm afraid their loose teeth will fall out immediately.
"Yes, father, but...... We're not winning yet, because they're likely to come back later! ”
It was rare for Gervais to see his cheap dad so happy, and he also responded to Gandalf with a smile.
But it also gave Gandalf bad news.
"Will it come back? Aren't they afraid of total annihilation? ”
Gandalf was stunned when he heard this.
In his opinion, this time, the soldiers of the Golden Shield family were completely slaughtered after they climbed the city wall.
Because there are a lot of magicians on my side.
Those fifty magicians just now were enough to make the enemy tremble, so Gandalf felt that if he was the commander of that group, he would definitely choose to evacuate immediately, and it was the best choice to stop the loss in time.
"Father, do you see the passages on the river that have been filled in at the back?"
Gervais immediately pointed to the moat below and said to Gandalf.
Because Gervais had previously focused on dealing with the siege team, he ignored the enemies who had filled the river, and in a matter of moments, they filled in the three aisles again.
At this time, there were already six passages more than four meters wide in the moat.
"Gervais, do you ...... Do they have a follow-up team to come to their aid? ”
Hearing Gervais's words, Gandalf looked down, and when he saw the six aisles, he immediately and unexpectedly verified to Gervais.
As a veteran of the killing field, Gandalf naturally thought of this possibility after being guided by Gervais.
The reason why he didn't expect it before was first of all because he had been busy with the things that Gervais had arranged, ignoring these details.
In addition, he didn't know much about the holy cities of the Holy Continent, so he didn't expect the Golden Shield Family to have such a killing intent against them.
"That's right, father, I guess the support of the Golden Shield Family is already on the way, and it will even arrive soon!"
"So, the big battle we really have to face is still to come, and it's just an appetizer!"
Gervais nodded earnestly and gave Gandalf an affirmative answer.
"No wonder you didn't let all the mages participate in the battle just now, and the sea tribes in the moat didn't participate in the battle either!"
Gandalf understood instantly, but there was still a little worry in his heart, so he looked at Gervais and hesitated.
"Gervais, why don't we retreat first? This Golden Shield family has thousands of Golden Knights just outside the city! ”
"And there will be support later, it must be the same elite, if there are too many of them......"
Only Gandalf dared to say such words in the presence of them, and he could say them.
After all, a big war is coming, and no monarch will like it before fighting.
Of course, Gandalf is not admitting it.
Rather, he thinks that now his youngest son occupies enough chassis and is thriving.
Therefore, since there is such a prospect, it is not worth it to fight to the death now.
Gervais was still so young, and in ten years, at the current rate of development, Gandalf felt that his youngest son would be able to become the monarch he had never seen before.
"Father, you don't have to worry, I know this!"
"To the north of us is the river, if we really can't stop it, we can completely retreat from the river with the help of the Sea Clan!"
"So, even if we are defeated, we have a way to get out of the way!"
Gervais also guessed what Gandalf was thinking, and in order to comfort Gandalf, he immediately told him about the expected retreat.
Of course, if it really comes to the point of retreat, it will not be implemented unless he is really at the end of the mountain and the water is extremely critical.
"I see! So I'm relieved! ”
Gandalf listened, and finally reassured.
With those sea tribes here, even if they don't have boats, they can walk freely on the river hundreds of meters wide with wooden planks, so they really don't have to worry about retreating.
"They're coming!"
Just as the conversation between the two ended, Gervais suddenly saw dozens of knights riding demonic beasts appear on the road two miles away.
Not long after these knights appeared, more soldiers and horses appeared at the end of the road behind, and these soldiers and horses had banners with golden shields.
At that moment, Gervais picked up the binoculars and looked carefully out of the city.
"Another legion of 10,000 people, and this time all of them are elite!"
After about twenty minutes, all the support teams gathered outside the camp where the Golden Shield family was stationed.
Gervais initially estimated the number of people, and it was another army of 10,000 people, and this legion was uniformly equipped, and it was a legion composed entirely of golden knights.
"Looks like Bartman is going to take me down all at once!"
"I just don't know if that old guy from Bartman is here in person!"
As far as Gervais knew.
A Holy City family, such a legion composed of golden knights is only two or three at most, and this is still the highest-ranked Holy City family in the Holy Alliance.
Now the number of Golden Knights of the Golden Shield Family who appeared outside St. Ann's City has reached more than 15,000.
Then excluding the elites who are responsible for protecting the Holy City, this must be all the elite forces of the Golden Shield Family in the Land of Godfall.
From here, it can be seen how determined Baartman is this time.
……
"Lord Duke!"
"Lord Duke!"
Outside the city of Holy Grace, at the gate of the Golden Shield family's camp, after knowing that help was coming, Lakar and Billy had already come to wait outside the camp.
When Bartman, who was riding a high-level demonic beast wolf in the team, appeared, the two of them immediately stepped forward respectfully and knelt down and bowed their heads.
Instead of responding immediately to Lacle and Billy's greetings, Bartman kept his eyes on the walls of the City of Grace in the distance.
"The God of Killing is not in the city!"
Staring at the City of Grace for a long time without saying a word, Bartman spoke in a deep voice.
"Back to Lord Duke, that kid who killed the god is in the city!"
Lakal did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately replied respectfully.
"Hmm!"
Bartman's eyes immediately swelled with murderous intent, and then he withdrew his gaze to look at the two kneeling on the ground in front of him.
"Where's Ruka?"
When Bartman withdrew his gaze, he saw that Ruka was not among them, and his brow immediately furrowed.
"Back to Lord Duke, Ruka was killed by the God of Killing!"
Lakal instantly felt a chill in his head, and suddenly shivered, and continued to answer.
"Are there any other casualties?"
Hearing the news of Ruka's death, Baatman's tone became a little colder.
"There are more than 1,800 Golden Knights who lost during the siege!"
“……”
Lakar's words fell, and the room fell silent.
Suddenly, a cold sweat slowly broke out on Lakal's forehead, but he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Bartman.
"Tell me what's going on!"
After a moment of silence, Bartman's cold words came again.
"Yes, Lord Duke!"
"Just now I arranged for Ruka and Billy to take 2,000 men each to attack the city of St. Hum, preparing to consume their troops......"
Next, Lakar told the story of what had happened.
Ruka's death was told to Bartman exactly as Billy had said.
As for the deaths of the more than 1,800 Golden Knights, Lakal also focused on the terrifying number of magicians under Gervais's hands!
"This miscellaneous boy has grown so fast that he can kill Ruka with one blow without relying on that blood-red sword!"
After listening to Lakal's detailed explanation, Bartman immediately turned his head to look at the City of Grace again, and finally a trace of hatred appeared between his words.
He hated why a kid like a hillbilly was so favored by the heavens, becoming a Black Flag Knight in just a few months, and even had the strength to kill the Black Flag Peak Knight.
Bartman thinks that the heavens are simply blind!
However, even if God favors him today, it is useless, and he Baartman will definitely send this kid to hell today.
Thinking of this, Bartman looked back.
"What is the strength of those magicians who kill the gods, and how many are there, can you be sure?"
"Lord Duke, according to the report of his soldiers, there are at least fifty magicians under the Killing God!"
"However, the strength should not be high, except for the fact that it has been determined that there is an intermediate magician in the city, those more than fifty people are all released fireball techniques, and they should all be trainee magicians!"
"More than fifty apprentice magicians!"
"This god-killing ambition is not small! It's a pity that I can't live today! ”
"Lakar, you immediately gather your troops and start the siege again!"
Bartman shifted his words and began to give orders to Raquel.
"Yes, Lord Duke!"
Lakar immediately responded.
"Mage Lamb, it's up to you to deal with those magicians next!"
After giving Lakal's instructions, Bartman gave another order to the dozen or so black-robed magicians behind him, but his tone was much softer than that of Lakal.
"Yes, Lord Duke!"
"Lord Duke, don't worry, if the killing gods are all apprentice magicians, even if they double the number of them, I guarantee that they will not be able to harm the besieging team!"
The magician of Lamb heard Bartman's command and immediately replied respectfully.
Lamb is a high-level magician, and five of his teammates are also high-level magicians, and there are also seven intermediate magicians, so he has a lot of confidence in his teachings!
"Excellent! Then let's get started! ”
Bartman's plan today is very simple, that is, to rely on absolute crushing to take this Holy Grace City in one go, and then send the killing god to hell.
He was ready to let Lakal's team take the lead, and with the cooperation of more than a dozen mages from Lamb, he would attack the walls.
After they attacked the city wall, he personally rushed into the city with the rest of the team, so that the kid who killed the god had no possibility of escaping or turning over.
……
With Baartman's orders given, Lakar quickly organized his team.
At this time, in addition to carpenters, he had more than 6,000 people, of which more than 3,000 were elites, and about 2,000 were the miscellaneous troops that had filled the river before.
Lakar did not hesitate to put the two thousand miscellaneous troops at the front as cannon fodder, and the three thousand elites at the back.
"Everyone, forward!"
When the team was assembled, Lakar gave the order.
Whining!
With the sound of the trumpet, the army outside the Holy Grace City slowly pressed towards the Holy Grace City.
