559 Miserable Silin
Under Cattroman's deliberate care, Davide's name immediately increased in the military merit book.
Although the king's intention was not to rely too much on the strength of the dragon knights, the specific army deployment was still drawn up by the General Staff Headquarters under the leadership of the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army. In the military operations to clear the remnants of the enemy army in Frodo County and clear the obstacles on the outskirts of the city of Severa, Davide carried out many sabotage missions and made great achievements.
As one of the species that stands at the pinnacle of this realm, dragons have no natural predators. If humans want to fight against dragons, they must either rely on mages and warriors in the legendary realm, or use long-range strikes such as bed crossbows. In addition, it can only use crowd tactics and sacrifice a large number of soldiers to barely have a fight.
Therefore, Davide didn't pay attention to the ants under his feet at all. He harnessed the dragon and hovered in mid-air, only waiting for the moment when the defending troops were pulled out of the loophole, and unleashed a fatal blow.
Like, now!
The red dragon Pringer roared and swooped down. A fiery cone-shaped dragon's breath reduced the archers of the tower to ashes. The pouring arrow rain suddenly stopped, and the main force of the "Horizontal Knife Battalion" specially transferred by Catroman to aid Davide, quickly attacked the city, and soon opened up a forward position of about ten meters.
Each of these fighters, who have reached an average intermediate level, is an elite veteran for the rest of their lives. The weapon they used was a hundred-meter long horizontal sword, with a thick back and a thin blade, and its sharpness was incomparable. In the cavalry-dominated Snowton Empire, the "Horizontal Knife Battalion" was an outlier, giving up their ranged attack capabilities and focusing on hand-to-hand combat. The knife techniques taught by Katero Aman himself made them kill machines on the battlefield one by one. It is precisely for this reason that this strong force from Tiebi Pass is known as "the north and south of the mainland, invincible in foot combat".
Once the notch is opened. The follow-up siege troops poured up in a steady stream. The dragon rises back into the air and leaves the battlefield, only landing again when forced to do so, sweeping the enemy on the walls with its tail. Successive sorties during this period. Exhausting the red dragon Pringer, every breath of dragon breath it spits out requires a lot of mana. This is a heavy burden for him as he has just come of age.
Legend has it that dragons often sleep for decades, or even hundreds of years, and one of the most important reasons is that they rely on sleep to regain their energy.
The small city they were attacking was the domain of a certain viscount. The height of the city wall was only ten meters, and the defenders in the city were only 5,000. Davide only led 8,000 foot soldiers and 4,000 cavalry, and he broke through it.
The "horizontal knife battalion" captured the city, and with the loss of the city gate tower, the war has lost its suspense. With the exception of the Viscount, who fled and was chased and bitten to death by Pringer, most of the defenders chose to abandon their weapons and surrender. As long as you don't have a noble title or clergy. Snowton's southern crusade is not too harsh, but today's main general. But he's not a rule-abiding guy.
"Go ahead, don't make a fuss. The gates opened, and Davide waved his hand and gave a casual admonition.
The soldiers, who were full of anticipation, immediately rushed into the town with cheers. Due to the existence of the "blood faith", the county town has become devoid of oil and water. So these small towns. It became the first choice for the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army to make war money. If you meet an "enlightened" general like Davide, then you don't have to hide it, you can rest assured that you will be captive.
Davide loosened his armor, jumped off the saddle, and led his horse with his own soldiers. At the same time, he took the three-zhang dragon spear and handed over the matching sword given by the king.
"Let's go, let's go into town. Davide slung his sword to his waist, turned on his horse, and headed into the city. The red dragon Pringer roared, flapped his wings and flew up, probably running to a nearby village to open meat.
At the same time, its owner is also patrolling the city, looking for tonight's "meat" target.
"Your Excellency, General, as you have ordered," one of his own soldiers rode his horse and reported in a low voice, "the ladies of the City Lord's Mansion have gathered and are waiting for your lord to come and choose." ”
Davide withdrew his gaze and sighed in disappointment. This is not the case with the war, the girls are hiding in their homes and are afraid to come out, the streets are sparsely populated, and the occasional sight of a woman, either a stout aunt or a vulgar-looking person, is really disappointing.
"Lead the way ahead and go to the City Lord's Mansion. Davide shook his head and ordered, now, he can only pin his hope on the aesthetic level of the previous city lord.
Snowton's southern crusade camp, the king's tent.
"According to the information coming from the rear," Mordschic unfolded the scroll of paper in his hand and read, "Since the news of the establishment of the two major academies in the empire came out, the noble group in Norman City has been in constant motion, and various forces have been in frequent contact in private......"
"Sure enough, they couldn't help it," King Nacini stopped with a wave of his hand, "You can handle this matter at your discretion, but remember not to involve the members of the Duotie Lions Club." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty," said Mordsch, "but Count Allegri ......"
"It is better not to implicate him," said King Nacini, after a moment of thought, "if Master Viranoo had not exaggerated, he would have been a key figure in the southern expedition." ”
"But in the original plan, the role of Count Allegri was irreplaceable. "Modesic is embarrassed.
"Then hold it off for a while," said King Nacini, "at least until Severa is taken, don't startle the snakes, and let the old ones in the rear toss for a few more days." ”
"Your Majesty, what kind of array is that invented by Count Allegri, and is it really that important?" Mordschic seemed a little puzzled, "Is it necessary to stay here for a few days for his sake?"
"You think I'm waiting for him?" King Nacini chuckled, "No, magic, at best, is the icing on the cake, and if you want to unify the continent, you still need an army forged by iron and blood...... We are here just to await the arrival of the second-line corps. ”
"I see, Your Majesty. "Mordschic has always disliked strange things like magic or magic, and I even hated it to the extreme.
"However, if that array can really help, I will not refuse," King Nacini ordered, "and immediately issue an edict, so that Count Allegri does not have to come to the camp to report, but can go directly to the front line of Xilin." ”
"Yes," replied Mordschic with a smile, "is the king going to use Cillin as a litmus test?"
"That's right, Albert has repeatedly sent people to ask when he will be able to attack the city with all his might," King Nacini laughed, "then, let Sillinshire play its last worth." ”
