Chapter 165 Trials

At this distance, the constructed knights who occupy the commanding heights of the terrain can crash into the ranks of the Jīng Knights with a single charge. The eyes of all the knights in the mound were breathing fire in the eyes of all the knights on the top of the hill in Shumí Group 4∴8065, and the mounts felt the anger of their masters, and they were also digging the earth with their iron hooves in restlessness.

Su Ya raised his head, and saw Richard's smiling eyes again, and suddenly felt that a red mist was rising in front of him, and as soon as he grasped the hilt of his sword, he was about to draw his sword and point forward, and shouted out the long-pent-up sentence "Knights, forward!"

With a choking sound, Suya's saber was halfway out of its sheath, and the eyes of all the costumed knights were fixed on his saber!

However, a harder and more powerful hand pressed down Suya's hand, a general sent by the Marquis of Sauron. He stared into Su Ya's eyes, and said slowly and resolutely: "Lord Marquis's order, there must be no conflict with Richard. Since he is not attacking, then we should retreat. ”

Su Ya's face was swollen and red, and she pulled out the saber a few times, but the half-unsheathed saber not only did not move, but was slowly pressed back into the scabbard.

"Lord Baron, if you insist on disobeying the Marquis's orders, then I will remove you from command. The general said coldly.

With a choking sound, Su Ya angrily pushed the saber back to the bottom of the sheath and continued to stare at Richard with fire-blazing eyes.

But Richard had already ignored him, and was looking at the generals beside Su Ya with interest, but his heart was a little cold. What Richard hated most was this kind of calm opponents, who may not have the unpredictable genius of military use, but they have extremely rich experience and careful thinking, and rarely make mistakes. Richard often needs to defeat his opponents with superior forces and the ultimate battlefield micro-command of the brood class.

The Jīng Knights had all walked in front of the hill, and the next thing was to construct the Knights. Down the mountain, the knights on both sides were looking at each other, as if they were about to burst out of flames.

However, it is obvious that the Marquis of Sauron's constructed knight may not lose his fighting spirit to his opponent, but the equipment tested by Chapter 165 on his body, the mount under his crotch, and even the construction on his body are far inferior. Nearly half of the seventy knights were first-order knights.

In the end, Richard's five hundred men swaggered past the well-groomed Su Ya like an outing, and then walked away. Instead of protecting the flanks, not even the defenders were left behind, Richard himself pulled at the back of the line, and even his followers ran to the front.

"As long as you send a knight in costume to charge...... Su Ya's mind involuntarily flashed this thought, and very yòuhuò, a magician on the battlefield who has broken away from the army, is simply a good target. However, the general next to him stared at him closely, so that he could not do anything beyond the rules.

When the two armies completely parted ways, Richard regretted as much as Suya that there were still famous generals in Akméng.

After crossing Suya, Richard officially stepped into the territory of the Black Rose Castle. Looking at the beautiful scenery of the peninsula in the distance, Richard suddenly remembered the first time he set foot on this land, and at that time he was beside Mordred, a man nicknamed "The Demon King", a very terrifying existence in the eyes of outsiders.

At this time, it was less than a hundred kilometers away from the Black Rose Castle, but there was still one last obstacle between him and the castle, Goliath.

Goliath's military camp was set up on a flat meadow, and there was no terrain around it that could be exploited, except for a small grove. It was also the most suitable terrain for cavalry, and many of Goliath's arrays were infantry.

The barracks were small, and the temporary fences were more like demarcation than defences. The soldiers in the barracks looked relaxed and talked and laughed. However, all military affairs are well organized, and there is no slightest clutter.

This is a real veteran, even if the battle is imminent, it is just as easy, and it will not be affected by nervousness or other superfluous feelings. An abundant body is a guarantee of combat effectiveness.

The barracks are not big, there are tents of similar style everywhere, and the Chinese army tent is just a little larger than other tents, and there is nothing special in the material and decoration. The large size is also due to the fact that Goliath was much taller than the average human, and there were also things such as marching sand tables and maps in his camp.

When he was on the march, Goliath's food, clothing, shelter and transportation were always the same as those of ordinary soldiers. In the Earl's army, the same was true of the high-ranking officers and constructed knights. The only advantage is that the food ration standard for the strong and the Constructed Knights is much higher, and their physical consumption is much higher than that of normal people, so they need special food.

It was already afternoon, the soldiers had just had lunch, and the smell of food was still thick over the camp. Goliath was walking casually around the barracks, chatting with the soldiers from time to time.

At this moment, a scout rode from afar and galloped all the way to the barracks.

Immediately the knight ran up to Goliath as fast as he could, and said breathlessly, "My lord! Richard has already entered the periphery of Yashan, and is only a dozen kilometers away from us. He's moving very fast! We probably only have half an hour to prepare!"

"Half an hour? That's enough. Goliath's voice was calm.

The surroundings had fallen silent, and countless eyes had fallen on Goliath, waiting for his final decision. The Constructed Knights returned to their tents, needing more time to prepare their weapons and armor.

Goliath did not give the order immediately, but stood there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking, and let the precious preparation time pass little by little.

Ten minutes passed like this.

"Lord Earl, it's time to decide!" Someone next to me couldn't help but remind.

Goliath turned a deaf ear, and after another five minutes, as if he had come to his senses, he commanded: "Let the warriors go out of the camp and line up, and the knights in costume will also be dispatched." In addition, leave some servants to cook more food, Richard marched all the way, and he should not have eaten lunch at this time. Prepare him five hundred ...... No, a meal for a thousand. ”

Both left and right were stunned, although this order was confusing, but seeing that Goliath was clearly determined, his subordinates immediately dispersed to carry out the military order.

When Richard's sight appeared on Goliath's small barracks, he was first stunned. However, the results of the second inspection confirmed the judgment at first glance, that is, the number of soldiers in this barracks should only be about 2,000, and the limit cannot exceed 3,000.

Richard looked at the Goliath army array, which was lined up on the open ground, and at a glance he judged that it was indeed 2,000 men. There is also a small forest not far away, and there are still ambushes where you can bury them.

However, the forest is not big, it is still a sparse miscellaneous forest, and even the ambush soldiers can't ambush much. What's more, Richard's troops are all jīng rui and full cavalry, their combat power is extremely strong, and their mobility ability is even more outstanding, and the best way to deal with such a small super jīng sharp force is to gather all the troops to fight in a frontal formation, and pile up the casualty numbers with numbers. As for the ambush to block the back road, it is a joke, Richard has so many knights in his hands, any kind of ambush front can be easily chiseled, and dispersing the troops is simply self-defeating.

Richard rode forward, greeted Goliath, who was standing in front of him, and said, "Count, I didn't expect to see you here. ”

"I shouldn't be seeing me here. Goliath said.

Richard jumped off the sacred unicorn and looked at the mighty man he had met on the floating island, with mixed feelings.

If it hadn't been for Goliath and Ellie's timely appearance, Richard might have become a pile of dry bones. But now, Goliath stood between Richard and the Black Rose Castle, clearly preparing to stop Richard.

Richard glanced at the army behind Goliath, the other party was in the most traditional battle formation, with no intention of hiding the combat power, and all the strong and legal personnel were in their rightful positions. Richard saw three Sanctuary powerhouses, an archmage, and fifty knights in costume. Although the remaining two thousand warriors were sharp, they were just ordinary warriors, and they were not at all far from the knights of Jīng in terms of equipment and rank.

This sentence is very arrogant, but it is very appropriate for Richard at this moment. It was true that Richard only brought five hundred men, but there were one hundred and fifty constructed knights inside, and they were far from being comparable to the most first-order constructed knights of Goliath.

Goliath sighed in his heart, he remembered that when Gordon was young, he often had words that people thought of as arrogance, but the facts that followed proved that he always kept his declaration.

Richard sniffed the aroma of food wafting in the air, and said, "You take good care of the soldiers, and this standard of food alone will increase the annual military expenditure a lot, right? ”

Goliath smiled and said, "I have nothing to do with them. I'm only here because I can stop you here. I'm not here for any family council, I'm just for myself. Since you also said that the patriarchs of Akméngde are all fought, then we might as well fight. If you win, then it means that I am old, and I should naturally give way to you young people. If you lose, it means that the Gordon kid is not mature enough, go back and train for a few more years!"

Richard smiled and said, "It sounds like a test, but it's going to die." ”

Goliath nodded, "So I only brought two thousand men, and I wasn't going to fight them all." This is an internal war in Akméng, which can be fought like a life-and-death enemy, or it can be properly controlled. I'm leaning towards the latter, not prepared to damage too many fighters in this fight. They should die on the Alien Plane or on another battlefield on the continent, not in the inner turmoil. ”

"Lord Count, you really don't look like an acéméd. "Book Network T!!
