Chapter 260: Quest 5

Philip III, a man who had run his domain at the age of forty and was known as the most eminent Grand Duke of all time, shook his head at the retreat of his henchmen.

He himself knew that the pride of being a psionic knight was preventing these wise people from recognizing the facts in front of them, and it was extremely difficult to admit their own shortcomings, and it was often not until they were defeated by the facts that some people would lower their arrogant heads.

But he is different, although he is a super strong man whose strength tends to be gold-level, but the Grand Duke has long given up the road of relying on knights to dominate, Burgundy is too small and inconspicuous, and he can't attract enough knights to be loyal to him, and he will definitely be defeated compared to those big countries with a long history and profound heritage, so he will turn his attention to the Golem technology, trying to get a chance for revival.

"Even if you're right, since that Ed can defeat hundreds of Ingill knights by himself, do you think you have a chance of winning?"

The Burgundian knights had not yet given up the idea of fighting, and although there was no possibility of defeat in this turtle shell, it was too far from chivalry.

"Stronger than a person, how can he be your opponent of the Grand Duke!

"Bold, you want to put the Grand Duke in danger?" Barlogo's tone changed when he heard this, and he scolded the other party loudly, and the atmosphere became solemn for a while.

At this time, a piece of information came from the guard outside the door, and it quickly reached the hands of the Grand Duke, and after reading it, his face changed a little worse, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Since you are trying your best to ask for battle, I promise you, and hereby I appoint the knight of Barlogo as the leader, and everyone must obey his command." Alright, let's all go down!"

The crowd stepped back. Leaving alone, Barlogo couldn't help but ask, "Grand Duke." There's no need for us to take any chances!, even if Ed's kid had the ability to escape from the ruins, he wouldn't be able to attack it, which didn't match our previous plan. ”

"Look at this!" the Grand Duke handed over the information in his hand, and said with resentment on his face: "He is wreaking havoc in my territory, this is insulting me! Does he think that he has the support of the big forces like the church behind him? This time you must teach him a lesson, you have to find a way to contact our captives who have been driven over, order them to make trouble, take the opportunity to take the knight to attack, do not seek to defeat the other party, as long as they cause enough damage." ”

"This ...... Alright!"Now that the Grand Duke already has an idea. Barlogo no longer disobeyed, and deep down he wanted to meet the Elder Knight again, this time on a frontal battlefield, even if he killed the other party by mistake, presumably the people of the Knight Guild would not be able to pursue it.

After waving his hand to let everyone go down, Philip III's face changed gloomily, and after a while, he punched his palm fiercely, and said to himself: "It's still rushed! Obviously, it was an avoidable war, but he chose a frontal conflict for the sake of saving face." If I succeed, I am fine, but if I fail, I am afraid that it will slow down my Burgundy revival plan!" In the midst of the gains and losses, the torches on the walls around him slowly extinguished, burying the archduke's ugly face into the shadows.

On that day, Ed sent people up the mountain to provoke many times. The Burgundians, however, remained closed and put on a turtle tactic.

The young man thought about it for a while, and asked people to bring the nearly 10,000 Burgundian warrior captives who were held behind to settle in front of the battle. Tomorrow, if the other party is still like this, he will have to use cruel means. drove the captives to siege the city.

That kind of scene must not be seen by Delia, but it has come to this. It's impossible to take the castle without bloodshed, and it's better to be ruthless than to bleed.

That night, as the temperature dropped, the moon appeared and disappeared in the clouds, and the winter mist slowly rose again, the Roland army did their best to prevent the enemy from sneaking up, patrols and torches to make the view of the vicinity as good as possible.

"Knight, the matter has been connected, and the captured people thought that we would go to save them, and in the middle of the night they would make trouble together and attack the guards. ”

"Well, good. Ballogo waved his hand, motioned for his men to leave, turned to the dozens of knights behind him and said: "Once there is a riot in the opposing camp, we will attack, but remember that this time the enemy is the most important, don't be nostalgic for the battle, once the enemy shows signs of encirclement, immediately retreat, you know!"

Judging from the information he got, what really caused the destruction of the Ingier knights was that they tried to kill the enemy with one blow, blindly charged the Chinese army, and trapped themselves in the encirclement without knowing how to retreat, just with the pursuit speed of Roland's ordinary people, they couldn't keep these knights if they wanted to go, so as long as their side was not hot-headed, the other party had no means to entangle themselves at all.

Ed and his companions were difficult to deal with, but there were only two of them in the end, and not having a sufficient number of knights to accompany them would be the biggest reason for Eddard's defeat.

Although the knights behind Barlogo are not very convinced of him, they have battles to fight, and it is better to be able to kill the enemy and obtain merit than to stay in the castle, maybe some people will have other thoughts after victory, but they will still show obedience in the first battle.

At midnight, Ed had just put down the military map and was about to rest, when he suddenly heard the faint sound of people and horses screaming in the distance, his face changed and he immediately jumped out of the big tent, released spiritual energy to rise into the air and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

In the darkness, due to the fog, although the young man had excellent eyesight, he still saw limitedly, but the direction was the prisoner camp ahead.

"Someone!" Chesterton was the first to appear nearby, and also rose into the air to look into the distance side by side with Eddard, the two frowned, Ed suddenly turned his head to him and gave him a few words, the latter immediately sped away, and saw that the direction he was going was the back camp.

In a short time, the rest of the guards were also fully equipped, and ran in the rest of the direction with General Ed's orders, strengthening their vigilance and mobilizing their men to prepare for possible riots.

Ed himself rushed to the center of the commotion alone, where there was already an abnormal fire, and the shape and size of the beating did not look like an ordinary torch, and the screams of the personnel were much more numerous.

The tents swayed from side to side under the strong wind driven by the boy's rapid running, and many sleeping Roland warriors gradually woke up and began to check the situation outside the tent.

When he actually came to the neighborhood, Ed saw a hellish scene, the place where the captives were held was full of corpses, most of them Burgundians, they were wearing very few warm clothes, and a few were their own, most of the downed guards were extremely mutilated, their faces were scarred with their hands and teeth, and the armor they wore and the weapons they held in their hands were also stripped away.
