On the night when he received the head of the Holy See messenger, the black hair on the head of Count Mingfa, the Lord of Delhi, turned half white overnight - the so-called famous generals and the lack of tension in battle are completely different things. Especially in the face of an invincible iron master like the Black Dragon Knights.

21 years ago, Delhi City Shoushu and Count Mingfa obtained the phantom beast at the same time, and at the same time, they were sent to serve in the Holy See's Frozen Continent Diocese, and in the five years they fought side by side, the two teenagers who were both nobles formed a deep friendship. The death of His Excellency Xius in battle gave Count Mingfa a considerable stimulus - Xius is not the city guard of Qifu City whose eyes are higher than the sky and his hands are lower than the ground, in the depths of Mingfa's memory, Xiusi is rigorous, respectful, cautious and cautious in the event of a major event, like walking on thin ice as if facing the abyss. Derry City is not a small city, according to the conservative estimate of the Earl of Mingfa, with the ability of Theseus, even in the face of 50,000 troops, it may not be possible to defend the city for a month, but it is too simple to defend it for 10 days and 8 days. The result is that 10 minutes, compressed to a minute, is a record for the city's offensive and defensive battles, which is absolutely unprecedented.

In the first war, then the battle in Delhi, and then in a series of wars, Chi Aotian's stormy and unruly attacks were enough to shock all the military experts in the pan-continent. In the third battle, I believe that all senior officers at the level of captain and all soldiers with some ambitions must have "expectations" for this battle, and everyone hopes to see what kind of attack this general who seems to have come out of the darkness. And as the touchstone, Count Mingfa, how can the feeling in his heart be a "nervous" that can be described clearly.

It wasn't until the Ulu envoy arrived in Rhodes City and informed the Sweat and Blood Iron Cavalry Mercenary Regiment that the big stone in Count Mingfa's heart fell to the ground, and he only needed to defend the city for 10~30 hours.

March 27, 6th year of the magic calendar, 12 noon.

The Northern Expedition of the Black Dragon Knights, which had expanded to 15,000 people, quietly gathered under the city of Rhodes. In the spring of the Huayu Plain, it is in the dry season, most of the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and the iron hooves of more than 20,000 war horses pass through the grass, and the yellow sand under the dry grass is immediately dug out, and the gray sand and dust are flying all over the sky. The majestic knights and the iron armor of the horses were covered with loess, and even so, none of them made a sound, like an army of ghosts that had just crawled out of the grave.

Although they had long heard of what the Northern Expedition had done along the way, the soldiers on the city walls, especially the senior officers, were still taken aback. This great surprise did not come from the regular army of the Black Dragon Knights.

Looking down from Rhodes City, the huge army phalanx was divided into two distinct parts. In the middle and relatively far back are the regular army of the Black Dragon Knights, all in black armor with white ribbons tied in prominent places. And on the periphery, the first group to attack the city was a group of soldiers in disorganized clothing. According to previous information, these people should be innocent villagers forcibly carried by the Black Dragon Knights. Strange here, these villagers do not have the fear of being coerced into a death struggle on their faces, let alone the cowardice of fear of death. In the eyes of these "soldiers" who were peasants a few days ago, there was a strong murderous intent, and if you look closely, you will find that quite a few people will subconsciously stick out their tongues every few minutes and lick the corners of their mouths that are not chapped. And every man, whatever weapon he had, even a wooden stick that could not have been more rudimentary, must have clenched a large pocket in his other hand.

What kind of farmers are these?

What's more strange is that there is not a single one of the most ostentatious vulture knights in the Black Dragon Knights Expeditionary Force. Undoubtedly, there is an untold conspiracy in this.

This time, it was Tayan who was responsible for recruiting the rebels, but in the past, all the persuasions that Tayan was responsible for surrendering had mostly failed. At the moment when this decision was made, almost everyone knew what Ji Aotian really thought - just like a robber breaking into a bank, he always shouted: "*, raise your hands." "It's a process that has to be carried out, you can't just say a word, just come in and stab everyone in the chest. Then this is not a robber with social morality, it is one thing to do well or not, but it is another thing to do it or not. It's all a matter of principle.

With obvious disdain on his face, the black-robed priest casually summoned two big lizardmen to follow--oh God, what the hell is he going to do? The officers behind him groaned helplessly--in the face of such an evil race summoned by the army of the Holy See, how could any officer choose to surrender in this court, unless he was crazy.

"Hey...... Surrender, I'll count 10, or kill all the living garbage in the city. Let the God of Light die!"

The city includes the Earl of Mingfa's brows furrowed tightly, the big lizardman, this is a very short and evil ancient monster in the legend, legend has it that before the creator opened up the heavens and the earth, this kind of monster already existed in the world, after the creator created the god realm and the human realm, these monsters often attacked the human ancestors who were not yet ignorant. Half-orcs, bears, and werewolves, which look ugly, are all very kind and obedient babies compared to monsters like the big lizardmen. Prior to this, Count Mingfa was quite dissatisfied with some of the actions of the Holy See, especially with the orc tribes in the wilderness, and at this time, he really saw the lizardmen, a legendary monster from the demon clan, and the count felt how wise and decisive His Majesty the Pope was.

"Your Excellency is joking. Count Mingfa on the city wall pointed to the sky with his right hand and said: "There is heaven above, and there is blue earth below, and all things in the world live under the grace of the God of Light." If you dare to offend the gods, aren't you afraid that you will fall into the Hell of Emi?"

The tall black-robed fat man under the city wall tilted his bald head exaggeratedly, shrugged his shoulders as he turned around, and his loud voice echoed in the wilderness: "I said a long time ago, good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts! Chi Aotian, attack the city." We were invincible before, and we were invincible, you see, what are the brothers of the Allied forces in a hurry? Haha, according to my old man's in-depth field research over the years, the girls in this city are not ordinarily beautiful, and they are all dripping down when they pinch it. "Whether as a priest or as a high-ranking officer, such vulgar and frivolous words should not come out of his mouth.

Most of the Allied soldiers had saliva on their lips, and the battle had gone so smoothly and benefited so much that the people who had just taken off their peasant clothes had forgotten what they had been.

The officer of the tall earth dragon knight in black armor led the mount and Tayan to change positions. The white gloves made two gestures in the air, and pushed more than a dozen improvised catapults from the back of the camp - this was also a helpless move, on the plain of flowers, within tens of miles, not even a single bush could be seen, and it was almost impossible to make a large catapult. Just these few small things were made after dismantling two churches. What's more, on the Huayu Plain, it is very difficult to find a fist-sized stone, in short, for these more than 10 catapults, the Northern Expeditionary Army sacrificed a lot of war horses to pull the stones removed from the church.

At the same moment, the first few columns of peasant soldiers marched forward more than 20 meters under the loud orders of the officer, and had already entered the range of the few longbow archers on the city wall.

"Shoot-" The offensive and defensive battle of Rhodes City officially kicked off after Qu Jianhong's brief command.

The stones with a diameter of about 20 centimeters rose into the sky with a whistling sound, and smashed on the city wall in batches one after another, and the soldiers of the regular army hurriedly raised the shields in their hands, which were of no use at all, and the irregular stones easily destroyed the small round shield, and smashed the human body behind the shield on the other side of the city wall.

"Big shield, big shield!" shouted the junior officers. Along the horse road, the most elite soldiers directly under the city guard rushed up, and the shield reinforced with iron sheets more than a meter high stood on the city wall.

"Change the wolf smoke, pour oil!" Qu Jianhong saw the big shield towering, and immediately gave a new order.

A few low-ranking officers jumped off their horses and took the trainee knights to bring the wolf smoke cart over, and poured lamp oil on the packets of wolf smoke, which shone brightly in the sun. A handful of spontaneous combustion powder was sprinkled on it, and the flames burst out instantly. "Bang ......" catapult 10-meter-long wooden trunk made a dull whistling sound, a large bag of wolf smoke flew to the city wall with flames, the wolf smoke bag was light and large, quite a lot of wolf smoke fell under the city wall, only a few were thrown on the city wall road, the sack pieces fell to the ground and scattered, and the black wolf smoke rolled up on the ground.

"Rush, rush, rush!" The skull masked knight took off the one-handed war hammer from the dragon's back, stepped on the pedals with both feet at the same time, half stood on the dragon's back, and commanded loudly, and the four thousand people behind him heard the sound, carried the ladder, and rushed towards the city wall with a howl.

"Shoot!" Count Mingfa on the city wall turned slightly blue, he didn't expect that the enemy would use wolf smoke like this, first use a catapult to transfer out the heavy infantry, and then the wolf smoke with oil, at this time it is almost impossible to replace the light infantry that has withdrawn to the dismount road, it seems that it is ...... Your most expensive combat power will be consumed in the first siege battle.

More and more black wolf smoke was thrown on the city wall, and the soldiers on the wall soon could not see the enemy below, and could only shoot arrows desperately below with their senses, and the large and small stones were thrown down together, and the people trotted along the road to carry the boiling water up, and poured it down from the city wall with a bang, and the heart-rending screams immediately came up from under the wall. Dozens of ladders were built on the city wall almost at the same time, and then I watched the ladder head tremble suddenly, and every time it trembled, it meant that an enemy had climbed the ladder.

"Shoot-shoot-shoot!" the horned archer pushed away the infantry in front of him, shooting indiscriminately down the ladder in the choking smoke. At this time, I don't care about whether I am accurate or not, and in the turbulent situation of snot and tears being stimulated, I can't ask for anything at all.

"Push the ladder down—" Count Mingfa issued a new order.

The four-meter-long arm thick pole was quickly distributed, and every four or five soldiers held one together and put it on the crossbar at the top of the long ladder, and several soldiers pushed the long ladder to one side with a strong force, and the length of the ladder was immediately insufficient, and it rolled and fell down against the city wall in the screams of the soldiers who climbed the ladder.

More ladders came from a distance, and the city had begun to shoot arrows indiscriminately upward, and some of the soldiers were shot on their backs as soon as they appeared. The wolf smoke that was thrown up the city wall also increased, and under the black smoke, the fire oil flowed and devoured everything, and the flames had begun to string together.

Count Mingfa knew very well that at this time, the number of casualties of the defenders was very small, but this continuous attack caused great trouble to the army with no actual combat experience, especially the junior officers, most of whom had never experienced war at all, let alone expected to go to the northern diocese to get actual combat training. Most of the passwords they issued were self-contradictory, and even artificially caused congestion and confusion between different types of troops. No matter how good a commander is, if he doesn't have effective subordinates, he simply won't have the space to show his hands and feet. At this point, the Holy See is at an absolute disadvantage - what is enough for the pitiful few thousand professional soldiers?

Sadly, in a big war, the commander-in-chief even had to rush to the front line to personally direct the details of the war, which is really not a glorious thing, it is really a comical and helpless minimum approach that has to be taken.

"Quick, put on the water and put out the flames. In the thick smoke, Count Mingfa's eyes were red, and he coughed and shouted a new order: "Quick, go down to the city to boiling oil, quick, set the city on fire, quickly-"

"Your Excellency, it seems that you really have experience in war. A leisurely and cold voice suddenly came from under the city wall in front of Count Mingfa.

"Huh?" said the Earl, in a cold sweat......

Under the astonished gaze of many soldiers, a white skull mask rose from outside the city walls, followed by the mouth of the earthly dragon with a red tongue, and yellow dirty teeth glittering.

"Protect the city guard!" Several guards behind Count Mingfa drew their long swords and rushed forward at the same time.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Qu boy, I don't have the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, and I don't know how to pull me up. A fat, bald head followed the Earth Dragon Knight and flipped up, and both the old man and the Earth Dragon Knight had white levitation spells floating under their feet.

Qu Jianhong let out a long laugh: "Old fellow, I allow you to summon those disgusting things, let's see who kills the city guard general first." The huge one-handed warhammer hung on the golden wind, without any fancy movements, directly knocked open the three or four long swords in front of him, and the guards who rushed to the front saw their long swords being smashed away, and they had not yet woken up from the shock, and the pointed warhammer tore the leather armor and slapped it heavily into the lower abdomen......

"You and I don't think it's going to be fun, but the pool boy has also come up. "The demon Tayan summoned four lizardmen and four sheep-headed monsters all the time, which was already the limit of the summoning, and then rushed forward with a standard warhammer - this guy really didn't look like a priest, how could a priest rush to the forefront of a war with force like him?

The many defenders on the city wall suddenly felt a gust of wind rising, and the black wolf smoke was blown away, just in front of the city wall, an incomparably huge skeleton dragon suddenly appeared, the dragon roared, the yellow smoke spewed out, a series of coughs sounded among the soldiers, and the soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground in a languid state after a breath, and a black gas rose quickly on their faces......

"Poison-run-uh......" The soldier behind him just covered his nose and said a few words and rolled to the ground......

The dragon's two strong lower limbs rested on the battlements of the wall, and the bricks made of red clay were kicked into powder like dough. In front of the dragon, there was no human being who could support a round, and Xue Liang's front grasp ignored any physical defenses, tearing the armor made of leather and steel and the human body protected by the armor to shreds like tearing pieces of paper, and patches of blood mist continued to erupt on the city wall. Chi Aotian sat on the back of the dragon, twice as tall as ordinary people, the sharp inch Yan dragon spear was worthy of being an artifact from the Death God Realm, every time it stabbed out, it seemed that the distance was not enough, but at the last moment, it burst out a few feet, and it was shortened back after piercing the human body fiercely.

Three people, a necromantic dragon, and eight monsters from the other world, like a soup pouring snow, the tough soldiers on the walls of Rhodes were killed without any ability to resist......

The commander's banner of Count Mingfa was also smashed with a hammer by Tayan, who was rushing to the front, and the soldiers around him lost their backbone at this moment, and they were completely in chaos!

Chi Aotian has only one goal - Count Mingfa. Looking at the bone dragon knight who rushed over like a meat grinder, Count Mingfa immediately remembered all the legends about this young man. Count Mingfa hurriedly took a few steps back, supported the battlements in the city wall with one hand, and prepared to jump down with all his strength, jumping from here would not necessarily be killed, at least it was better than falling into the hands of the enemy.

At this moment, the black-red dragon lance suddenly burst out with a dazzling light somehow, and the moment Count Mingfa's eyes returned to normal, he found that the snowy dragon spear was against his chest, and the skeleton dragon knight was looking at him condescendingly.

"Surrender is ordered immediately. A cold tone resounded on the city walls, and Count Mingfa then saw countless vulture knights hurrying up from the ground......

At this critical moment.

"Your Excellency, as a general, how can you be so reckless?" a hearty voice came from the sky......

In the midst of the exclamations above and below the city, the long-awaited reinforcements of Count Mingfa arrived-the strongest of the pan-continental mercenaries, the Iron Hand Barricade, appeared out of thin air over the city of Delhi at the last critical moment.

"General Chi Er, I really admire Your Excellency's supreme combat power, I and Xiusi have lost unjustly, we are old, we really can't compare to young people like you. Unfortunately, Your Excellency can no longer threaten me. I wish you all the best luck. As soon as the words fell, Count Mingfa's broad chest slammed into the spear, and the sharp tip of the spear pierced through both sides of the steel armor from the back of the chest without a sound, and the red blood dripped down the tip of the spear.

"Your Excellency couldn't have come at a better time. After saluting the dead knight with his right hand clasped on his chest, Chi Aotian carefully pulled out Cunyan and brought up the skeleton dragon.

"Shoot, shoot them, rebels!" Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the Holy See envoy of Rhodes rushed to the wall with his personal retinue on the other side.

Up and down the city wall, hundreds of nearly a thousand soldiers raised their long and short bows and crossbows of different sizes at the same time, and countless arrows and feathers instantly pounced on the two enemies on the city wall, Ta Yang and Qu Jianhong, like black clouds.

"Be careful!" Qu Jianhong knew that Ta Yang was not wearing any steel armor, so there was almost no chance of survival under the flying arrows, the skull mask knight struggled to jump off the back of the earth-walking dragon, the heavy steel armor had already borne the greetings of countless arrow feathers in the air, Ta Yang just turned around, and was heavily crushed to the ground by the knight.

"Bastard...... You stoned me to death......" The old scoundrel's words stopped abruptly, and at this moment, Ta Yang could clearly see that there was an arm-thick crossbow bolt stuck in the chest of His Excellency Qu Jianhong, and blood gushed out like a spring......
