Chapter Thirty-Four: How the Overseer Destroyed a War
If you use a game as an analogy, then the knight is quite a powerful high-ranking soldier in the human camp.
In the same way, werewolves are also high-ranking soldiers of the orc race.
Some people may wonder, who is more powerful, the knight or the werewolf?
The truth is that, in general, a werewolf will look very disadvantageous against a knight. Orcs are generally stronger than humans, and although they are not good at production and poorly equipped, their natural physical abilities make them not inferior to the well-equipped knights, and even more powerful.
Similarly, the Golden Lily Knights in Snow Lotus City have 200 knights, a squad of 20 people, and a squadron of 60 people, making it the smallest knight order in the Randall Kingdom. Although the king sent a team of 40 royal knights, because Kalian took a direct team of 20 people, there are now a total of 220 knights in Snow Lotus City.
However, even though they have 20 more than werewolves, the odds of victory are not great if they start a scuffle.
Now, these people gathered on the avenue behind the city gates, and behind every gate in Snow Lotus City there was such an avenue, which was used for the whole army and the march in time of war.
These knights were now heavily armoured, and their horses were adorned with ornate vests with metal plates. They were holding their breath, waiting for the gates to open.
And behind these knights, about two hundred knight apprentices were also followed. It was their duty to apprentice with the knights in times of war. This is not easy, once the battle begins, the knights will definitely not be able to control them, and most of these apprentices are the same as Leona, above the first level, and the second level is not full, even with the exquisite combat methods taught by the knights, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness is not as good as the soldiers of the third level. But even so, they must stand here, and this is not only a study, but also a test of loyalty and courage.
It stands to reason that 240 knights should have 240 apprentices, but in fact there were not that many people standing on the scene at this time, because some people had escaped.
Leona rode the horse that Lea had bought for her and joined the ranks of apprentices. From time to time, I can hear rumors about who has escaped. In normal times, she might have condemned such an act in righteous words. But at this time, unexpectedly, the warrior girl did not have such an idea. On the contrary, she even felt that she could understand those people.
The gates of the outer fort are pull-up fence gates, although they seem to be made up of wooden strips that are not very strong, but in fact they have been treated with alchemy, even if they are cut with an axe, they can only cut the axe out of a single place, not to mention that each of these wooden strips is thicker than three people hugging each other. And it has the added benefit of being able to see through the gaps in the fence.
The rockfalls had run out, and the surviving Bristleback and Gnolls were slashing at the gates for nothing.
Leona was at the back of the line and couldn't see what was ahead, but the clashing of weapons, shouts, and howls pierced her ears like a sharp sword to her heart.
She felt her palms sweat and her tongue the size of a potato, and the girl turned to look around, and the faces of each of the knight's apprentices were as white as paper. Leona is not afraid of death, but a war can be far more stressful than ordinary death. It sublimates the horror of death to a whole new level, human life becomes a number, and tomorrow's sun becomes out of reach.
"Don't be so nervous, just watch after you for a while, in fact, it's an easy fight, and you're hardly going to get hurt. So relax, and think about it, and when this battle is won, each of you will be rewarded with a great deal of honor, money, wine, and the cheers of the girls!"
The knight in the back row seemed to sense the uneasiness of the apprentices behind him, and he turned his head and smiled comfortingly. Then try to induce the young people who are pale-faced to think better.
In contrast to the knight apprentices, these knights seemed relaxed, each of them with a confident smile on their faces, as if the guys outside the city were just a dish.
There is a reason for the confidence of these knights, let's forget the fact that werewolves are stronger than knights, and that refers to the situation of a big scuffle.
Knights are not a class that is good at melee in the first place, and their power lies in charging. 200 werewolves can fight 220 knights and win. But in an open plain, as long as more than 100 knights lined up in a phalanx and ran, they could wipe out all 200 werewolves as if they were ploughing with just a few men.
Unfortunately for these orcs at the moment, between the city gate and the forest in the distance, there was such an open plain.
Therefore, all the knights of Snow Lotus City had to do was to wait for the city gate to open, and then drive the war horses to hold their spears and go out to pears and enclose the ground. With a boost of speed, spears will pierce their foes, and horses' hooves will trample the poor creatures that fall to the ground to the point of not being able to form beasts. Who said that only the Minotaurs would trample in war!? It was that they had never seen a knight charge......
But just when they were full of faith, a catastrophe gradually came.
The source of the crisis is not the enemies outside the city, but some careerists inside the city.
The first thing that made everyone uneasy was time, the forest outside the city was a long way from the city gate, but even so, the werewolves were almost there now. It stands to reason that the signal to charge has already been sent out on the city wall at this time. But in fact, there is still no shadow of it.
"Let's go up and have a look!"
Eventually, the captains couldn't help it, and although doing so on the battlefield might be considered disobedience, the knights couldn't bear it anymore because things were a little weird and too much. And the order they received was to prepare to charge instead of standing still, so it can be considered excusable.
So, they went back up the stairs of the city wall to where they had been, where they saw little Lori arguing with a man like thunder.
"I repeat!! you're going to hurt everyone's !! by doing this."
At this point, Leah felt that she was about to go crazy, and just as she gave the order to open the city gates, the bastard in armor walked up to her.
Let's recall one of the organizations mentioned in the past, the Warlord's House.
Originally, there was only one function there, which was to report the battle situation here to His Majesty the King. But as I said before, these people are not satisfied with only such a small amount of power, so they are crazy to do all kinds of shady things, and what is more tragic is that they succeed.
At this time, the guy in front of him was the head of the Overseer, Jace Bent. It should be explained that the tightly armed body that even covered his face was not because of how brave and good he was, but because he was afraid of death for this dean. Even now, when the centaurs outside had been killed by Karen and there was no sign of the stray arrows on the city walls, he dressed up like this, cautiously watching the imaginary attack.
"My lord, what's going on? I think we've missed the best time to charge!"
Several captains asked anxiously.
"Because the order to charge has been canceled, gentlemen, don't ask me why, go and ask him, now he is your Supreme Commander, this Mr. Jace of the Overseer. ”
Seeing the knights walking up, Leah had a complicated expression.
"Ahem!ahem!aw...... Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honour to tell you that, by the will of His Majesty, in the absence of the supreme ruler of Snow Lotus City, Countess Karene Faren, I, Viscount Jace Bent, will have the supreme command here!"
Seeing the eyes of the knights gathering, Viscount Jace felt an inexplicable sense of pride, usually these knights of Snow Lotus City didn't take him seriously at all, so now, he deliberately cleared his throat, and then raised his voice, saying in a voice that he thought was very imposing, but in fact it was the same as those eunuchs on the earth. In his hands there was a thin piece of stationary paper with the royal seal.
"Since you have been granted this order by His Majesty, why didn't you say it earlier-!!"
Leah is going crazy, she holds the supreme power of Snow Lotus City in her hands, which is a token given by Kalian. But now, because of the piece of paper in the bastard's hand, it is nothing! After all, the other party has the king's order in his hand!
She swears that if she had known that the other party had that thing, she would rather #Sex Novelhttp://wWw./class12/1.html let herself lead the team outside the city, and she would also leave Karen behind!
"Ah...... Just the other day I told the Earl that I had received a letter from His Majesty. ”
"I would like to make it clear to you that power letters and letters are not a concept!! sir!!"
"But it was a pity that it was in an envelope, and I was so excited that I was anxious to share the glory of His Majesty with the Earl, so I ran to tell the Earl before I could open it. Yes...... However, it was a pity that the Earl did not seem to be interested in His Majesty's words, and she only lightly agreed. You see, since the Earl doesn't care what's in there, I can only say - it's a pity. ”
"No nobleman would have nothing to do and ask someone, 'Mr. so-and-so, what is written in your letter?'...... That's totally rude!! so you did it on purpose...... Ah!! that's enough, I don't want to talk to you right now! I just want to say, if I were you, I'd open the gates and charge the orcs now!"
A letter of power was not reported to Karen, and Leah didn't want to explore whether it was appropriate or not, whether there was any trickery in it, she only knew that if she didn't open the city gate, the door would not have to be opened at all.
"If that's the case, Lord Jace, then we beg you, let's charge!
The knights understood what was going on for a moment, so they pleaded loudly.
"No, I refuse!"
As a result, the other party shook his head very dryly.
Seeing such a situation, Leah, whose lungs were about to explode, remembered a famous saying on Earth - not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.
