"But now is the age of empires, if all the soldiers in your hands are defeated, your status as an earl will be in name only." The wizard frowned and said, in fact, without the earl's funding, his life as a wandering wizard would be very difficult.

"Will you be able to take out the enemy you have fallen into?" The Earl asked.

The corner of the wizard's mouth twitched when he heard this, if there were two hundred sows on the other side, he could still think about it.

"Alas~" The Earl sighed deeply when he saw this, he might be able to slaughter a small town, but it was still a little difficult to deal with an elite team.

"The matter has been decided, don't be discouraged, I still have a few factories in the imperial capital, and Your Highness will give me an explanation." The Count commanded, "Go and get ready." ”

"Yes!" The butler and the guards nodded, the earl was planning to be a duke.

Early in the morning of the second day, when the Tuvalu patrol guards ran back to the camp to tell that they had discovered the enemy, the Earl was already in the city, and he watched the captain of the city defense lead eight hundred city guards to run towards the battlefield with the city flag, and he couldn't help but tighten his clothes, the city wall in winter was much colder than the ground.

"Lord Count, the wizard didn't come with us." The guards ran up the wall and reported to the Count.

"Got it." The Earl of Tuvalu nodded slightly when he heard this, the wizard had served his family for thirty years, and the alchemy room was already full of all kinds of bottles and jars, and it was unwilling to let him give up those experimental objects that could not be moved in a short period of time for the sake of his life.

Without awe and the worship of perseverance, the wizard who could not give up his desires was just a mortal in his cognition, even if he had done a lot for himself over the years, at this moment the count removed him from his mind, he picked up the crystal ball that the wizard had given him, and turned his attention to the direction of the battlefield.

The Earl found the enemy and was gathering in the noise and shouting, the scene was somewhat chaotic, and at the same time, the enemy also found that they had been discovered by the other party, and after breakfast, they rode their horses and slowly advanced to this side.

"The enemy is coming!" Some nobles saw the more than two thousand troops, pointed at them and shouted, which caused some commotion among the assembled warriors.

"Don't be nervous, they're just pushing! In the past, when we were engaged in a fight with the knight next door, a dozen of our knights could bring in three or four thousand warriors. The knight in the metal feather helmet walked in front of the team with a mounted spear, "According to the law of the nobility, each other should be handed over to each other before fighting!" ”

After the knight finished speaking, he dragged his horse and rushed towards the more than 2,000 cavalry on the opposite side, as if he was about to negotiate, but when he was halfway through the run, he heard a crisp crack, and then the running knight broke off his horse.

The advancing team did not stop, and continued to move forward after killing the knights.

"Oh my God! The person on the other side is unruly! ”

"I'm going to the Imperial Court to sue them!"

"Don't talk that nonsense, where are my knights, kill them for me!"

A group of nobles standing in the rear watching the battle immediately became angry when they saw their knights being killed, they each commanded their own men and horses, and the defensive attacks were all kinds of turtles, and the earl knights standing on the side couldn't hold back anymore when they saw this, he roared, "Shut up!" I am the knight of the count, the commander of the commission, and everything on the battlefield now will listen to me! ”

The group of nobles and the surrounding warriors were startled by the loud voice, and no one imagined that the earl's men were so loud, but then they were offended by the knight, they were nobles with titles.

A baron with a scar on his face looked at the knight dissatisfied, "You, boy."

"Shut up! If you have any grievances, you can appeal to the Count after the battle! The Earl Knight did not get used to him, and directly interrupted him, holding a letter of appointment and shouting, "Whoever dares not obey my orders now, I will be killed on the spot for the crime of rebellion!" ”

"Kill on the spot!" The five hundred earls' elite spear guards shouted in agreement, and the loud voice suppressed the somewhat flustered peasants for a while, and the faces of the group of nobles suddenly turned pale.

"Very well, now everyone is following my orders!" Seeing that the nobles were wilting, and that the opposite side had advanced to the position where the previous knight had fallen, the Earl Knight commanded loudly:

"Five hundred spear guards come forward to support their shields!"

"Tripside!"

"Stomp on the gun!"

"Barbed Iron Defense!"

The spear guards who received the order stepped forward, the soldiers in the rear connected, and in just a few minutes, the earl's side arranged a huge defensive array, and then everyone waited for the other party's charge, but saw that the enemy on the opposite side stopped when he walked to the position of the dead knight, and then saw that there were about 100 people in green there to dismantle the wooden box, take out the iron pipe and support it diagonally on the ground, and adjust the position of the iron pipe.

"What are they doing there?" A nobleman watched them load and unload their belongings from the rear and asked, "Is it a bed crossbow?" ”

"No, I don't see the noose." The baron next door said, but his expression was a little serious, "They shouldn't do useless work." ”

"Sigh Rule~"

The Earl Knight rode behind the defensive formation, craned his neck and looked ahead, his brows furrowed, the war horse under his crotch snorted uneasily, and the guards and peasants who formed a blood-piercing defense formation in front of him also held their breath, not understanding what was going on on the other side.

In fact, even the more than 2,000 enemies on the other side didn't know what those green-faced guys were doing, and they had destroyed the castle gates with bursting flames when they were advancing into the castle.

I saw that none of them were squatting under the iron pipe support more than one meter long, and someone in each team stared at the crystal lens on the base, and then adjusted the pitch angle of the iron pipe and the support under the order, saying things such as increasing or decreasing the propellant pack.

"Self-adjustment left and right, large target range, no need to be precise, pay attention to wind speed, reload!"

"Bang Bang Bang~"

The knights of the academy and the warriors of Locera watched as they put the tin cans like shuttle bread into the tin cans, and then they heard a muffled thudding sound, and the next second there was a bombardment of the hedgehog-like position on the opposite side, and a large area of flesh was blown away visibly with the naked eye.

The smoke was filled, and twenty gaps were blown out in the blood-piercing defense array in front, and the soldiers who were summoned by the lord to collect them from the village stared at the front motionlessly, and the nobles in the rear also shook the corners of their mouths in surprise.

"Sigh law~" Only the war horse under his feet was walking restlessly.

The soldiers of the academy were also shocked by everything in front of them, and they were awakened by that sound in the next second.

"Bang bang bang~" A muffled sound came from the muzzle of the cannon, and twenty grenades that had been put into the mortar gun once again streaked across the sky.

"Boom, boom!"

A group of warriors who had just been standing beside them, the neighbors of the same village suddenly burst out of blood and fell beside them, many of them reacted from the shock, they quickly relaxed the spears in their hands and looked down at their companions, only to find that they had been incurably and horribly injured, and their bodies were like Uncle Combe, who had been hit by a wild boar that summer, and their internal organs had come out.

"Boom, boom!" Another large number of companions fell, and in the midst of that incessant loud noise, the knights who led the team went crazy and looked at the warriors they had brought, all of whom were the laborers of their own estates!

"Boom!" The cannon roared again, and the knights flew out with their broken bodies, and it was only then that they realized that they needed to care about not only the harvest in the field, but also themselves.

The sharp-eyed knight had already discovered that this was a massacre, and the dense spear stabbing formation was afraid that it would not be able to defend against the bombardment from the opposite side, so he threw away the spear in his hand and turned around and ran, the soldiers around him were stunned for a moment, but the next second he also threw away the big stick in his hand and joined the fleeing team.

"Boom boom~" The pleasant voice sounded behind him, many soldiers with doubts and fear in their eyes were like petals hit by a torrential rain, after someone took the lead, the remaining soldiers began to throw away their weapons and run back, at this moment they didn't want to have any honor, they just wanted to go home and farm.

"Stop! You can't retreat! Fight for your lords! "The young nobles tried to stabilize the situation, but the demoralized warriors did not listen to their orders, even if some nobles had drawn their knives.

"No, we're leaving, there's a wizard in the team on the other side!" The warrior picked up the stick and gave it to the nobleman he didn't know, and then fled in terror with his head in his hands.

"We still have an advantage in numbers, and we still have a chance to fight when we rush over!" One of the barons shouted, "Look at the city guards! ”

When a group of running soldiers heard this, they looked at the city guards rushing ahead, some of them honestly stopped and were driven back to the battlefield like Mianyang, while some of the soldiers made a detour to both sides of the team.

"Where are all my henchmen?" A young knight shouted in the chaotic crowd.

"Knight, we're here!" A toothless warrior who looked like a big-eyed thief shouted, this is the person who stole the lord's bud rice back then.

"Some soldiers have escaped, you follow me and capture them back!" The knight shouted, then rushed towards the camp of the nobles.

"No problem, my knight!" A group of hillbillies screamed as they hammered their chests, and then staggered after the knight's horses.

"Lord Baron Geoffrey, please come with me to pursue the deserters, we need to regroup!" The knight said as he ran to the recovering noble queue.

"Okay, my brother." Baron Geoffrey heard this and followed.

"Hey! You're not running, are you? A nobleman asked, looking at the city guards and the rout who were slowly returning over there.

"How so? Don't I want glory? The knight spoke, and then led his men and Baron Geoffrey in pursuit of a warrior who had fled away.

"Boom, boom!" The cannon behind him continued, the knight shook his ears to urge the war horse, and the soldiers behind him ran for their lives, these guys who usually farmed at home were not bad, and none of them were left behind, and soon they caught up with the deserters and overtook them.

"Hey! My brother, we have surpassed them. Jeffrey shouted as he looked at the deserter who had been left behind.

"I see, but we're deserters too." The knight said without shame.

"Oh? Wouldn't anyone be going to invite us to dinner again? Baron Geoffrey said with some sadness.

"That terrifying magic prop can't only hit the front, my ears can't deceive me, and in a few moments, the city defense army on the battlefield will collapse like everyone else, and even rush in front of the enemy!" The knight turned back to Jeffrey and shouted, "When they break down, the opposing cavalry will attack, and by that time there will really be no one to treat you to dinner!" ”

"What should we do, Lord Knight? Don't we want our territory? Big-eyed on the run asked.

"It's good that our territory is in the north, go back and pack our things, and then we'll go to Marshall! If you are willing to follow us, if you are not willing to go back to farming, they will not do anything to the peasants. The knight said.

At this time, the battlefield behind him was the same as he said, and the city defense was the same under that terrifying weapon of war, and after the collapse, the opposing cavalry began to charge, slaughtering the defeated warriors all the way, and some nobles who wanted to escape at this time were too late.

"Kill!"

"Bypass me, I'm just farming, I can't resist the lord's call!"

The warriors of Locera chased and slashed all the way, whether it was a warrior or a nobleman, and they did not intend to ask for ransom anyway, until they pursued all the way to the gate of the castle, and watched the remaining dozen nobles flee into the castle and put away the drawbridge, these Locera warriors stopped attacking.

"War is easier than you think." The warrior leader, who wiped his blood-stained sword clean, looked at the Earlcastle in front of him and said.

"Yes, if we had that magic weapon, the kingdom wouldn't have fallen." Hearing this, the warrior Wu Chang sighed and said, "My lord, you also saw it just now, its weight is very light, it can be held by one person, the structure looks very simple, and it is even more convenient to use, you can enter the battle without outlining the magic array and sacrifice, especially it can be used flexibly and reliably in complex terrain and harsh climatic conditions, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an artifact." ”

"Well, it seems that we can find a chance to communicate with them, and it shouldn't be expensive to be equipped with magic items for the mercenary group." Said the leader of the warriors.

"That's true of something like a potion launcher, but the potion itself may not be something you can handle, especially with a particular potion like this one." The rear of the Knight Academy also caught up, and the knight who heard the conversation between the two couldn't help but interject, "Do you know how many potions were used in the war just now?" ”

"Well, I think that's enough to buy a barony." The warrior leader said with a frown, then his eyes narrowed to the academy knight, "Are you interested in this?" ”

"I don't dare to be interested." Hearing this, the academy knight hurriedly shook his head, and then looked at the warrior leader, "If you want to die, don't harm me." ”

"Is it that serious?" The leader of the warriors asked, looking back at the approaching green-clad men.

"I don't think the Empire can wipe you out, but they can." The academy knight said seriously.

"Understood, I'll report this to Lord Mork later." The warrior leader nodded.

The mercenary group of the Green Giant came, and they placed the wooden box they were carrying not far from the castle, and then took out the long-rod magic crystal gun and the hellfire and approached the Earl's Castle.

Under the observation of a group of warriors, they saw bows and arrows and potions to release witchcraft from time to time on the castle, but they were soon hit by the spear and fell, until the group of mercenaries rushed to the castle lattice gate, and after throwing a large amount of hellfire, with a violent roar, the castle gate and half of the city wall collapsed.

"Work brothers!" The warrior captain shouted loudly, and then several captains rushed into the castle with him with nearly a hundred people.

In the magic laboratory under the Earl's Castle, the wizard Biya listened to the screams on the surface with a silent expression, sighed and stood up and stroked his collection of various books and treasures.

Becoming a sorcerer in the county was the minimum standard for his life, and he would not allow his environment to be lowered to another notch, otherwise he would not be able to preserve and protect these treasures.

He was not a wandering wizard earlier, but a member of the Cult of the Divines, who believed in an angel known as the Prophet of the Earth, one of the twelve archangels who served God, who came to earth because he was dissatisfied with the Son of God taking the place of God's authority, and finally fulfilled his wish after many years of hard work, but there was still one last step to go.

That is, he who came to the world cannot go back, and he needs the ark of covenant that God has placed on the earth.

And the crowd who opened the ark of the covenant will follow in His footsteps and ascend to heaven to avoid the last judgment.

And the Cult of the Gods seems to have been formed for the purpose of stealing the Ark of the Covenant.

After hundreds of years of planning, after paying many costs, the congregation stole the Ark of the Covenant from the Papal Palace and completed their mission, but just as the Sect Leader and a group of elders took the believers to open the Ark of the Covenant, there was a sudden accident, causing a large number of deaths.

After hibernation for a long time, the Divine Spirit Sect began to slowly recover, but during this time, the senior elder of the sect who did not die checked the ancient books and found that what they had stolen back was not the Ark of the Covenant, but something called Pandora's Box, which could be opened to release the disaster.

The big blow made the senior elder laugh for three days and died, and the newly recruited members of the sect were not convinced, and after the elder's death, everyone began to disperse, taking away all the valuable things in the sect, and what was left for the wizard was this box of bad luck.

"Humanity that destroys the peace will eventually be swallowed up by doom." Listening to the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer and the surprise of discovering the basement, the wizard slowly put his hand on Pandora's box, and then opened it with force.

"Boom~" There was a thunderbolt in the sky above the Earl's Castle, followed by a strong wind, and a dark cloud formed in a way that was visible to the naked eye, and everyone looked up at the sky.

"Ahhh There are demons! Two warriors rushed out of the gate of the castle, and they rushed into the crowd like crazy, and the leader of the warriors hurriedly greeted them, holding them on the shoulders and shouting, "Cheer up, what's going on inside?" ”

"Someone opened Pandora's box, and a demon escaped from it!" The warrior said in horror.

"Are you crazy? It's daytime, where is the demon? The leader of the warriors frowned.

"Huh." The warrior laughed when he heard this, and then raised his sword and plunged it into the chest of the warrior leader, "I am the demon!" ”

"Ahh He killed the chief! Seeing this, the warriors around him shouted angrily, and then they were about to arrest the two of them, but the combat level of these two warriors seemed to have improved a lot, and they instantly cut off the heads of the circle of people who surrounded them.

"Be careful! Their strength has grown! One of the warriors who had taken a life stepped back and said, and the others all raised their crossbows and pointed at them, and they saw them licking the blood from their swords with their tongues, and looking around strangely, "Is that all you can do?" ”

"Bang! Bang! The mercenaries hidden in the group of warriors took advantage of their swords to instantly smash their heavy weapons, directly smashing their heads, and then kicked away the swords in their hands, and when the two warriors who crooked their necks and laughed wildly shouted that it was not enough, two yellow bags covered with silver and gray runes buckled on their heads, and packed them whole.

Down, sealed, boxed and locked, the mercenaries worked in one go, and then they looked at the sky above them, and stood up ten people and entered the Earl Castle.

The remaining mercenaries guarded the castle gates and prepared their things, and shouted to the grieving warriors who were holding the corpse of the warrior leader, "Everyone get out of the cloud-shrouded range, there is a ghost in the castle!" ”

The warriors and knights were shocked when they heard this, but they immediately complied, and they had not gone far when they saw the mercenaries who had entered the castle run out and shouted at the other mercenaries in a language they did not understand.

I saw the remaining mercenaries rushing towards the castle with wooden boxes on their shoulders, and after a short while, they heard a loud noise from the castle.

Time passed by minute by second, and it was not until an hour later that the group of mercenaries came out of the castle, but it seemed that there were two less.

"The evil spirits there have been sealed away by us for the time being, but we don't know when they will come out." The mercenary looked at the dark clouds above him and said, "We need to call for support, and no one is allowed to come within a mile of the castle during this time, otherwise they will be killed!" ”

"Got it, no one wants to face a ghost." The academy knights, who heard the mercenary's words, waved their hands one after another, and then pointed to the city of Tuvalu in the distance, "Can we go there?" ”

"Yes, I will send ten men to help you attack the city." The mercenary nodded.

"That's for the best." The House Knight nodded, then went to the rear to sort out the line.

On the walls of Tuvalu, the Earl, who watched the thunder in winter and the condensation of black clouds, raised his eyebrows, not only did that group of enemies have the strength to destroy several times their own forces, but even the non-human wizard did not leave them? It is said that opening the magic box can turn the whole of Tuvalu into a living hell, and the wizard has been respected by the family for decades.

"Lord Earl, the wizard seems to have failed?" The guard looked at the castle and said to the team that was broadcasting to the city.

"No, at least the dark cloud hasn't dissipated, it's not something that can be caused by human means, maybe it will take a while." The Earl could not be said to be a family vision, and he himself had a glimmer of expectation for the dark cloud.

"Even if we give up, what they get is hell." When the guard heard this, he echoed this, and then said to the earl, "But my lord, let's go now, for we will not be able to leave after a while they will surround us." ”

"Okay." The Count nodded silently.
