Chapter 325: The Fire of the Plains - The Flame of Fire (5)
Furuta Castle, City Hall. His Majesty Justinian was dressed in a silk dragon-patterned pajamas, lying on an easy chair with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. Although it was now midnight, he did not feel sleepy, only felt that his chest was blocked and his heart panicked, and there was a feeling that something big was coming.
His Majesty's Majesty Justinian's room was equipped with fine cryolite to cool off the heat, but he still felt hot and unable to sleep. Restless, he loosened the collar of his pajamas, even though the collar of the pajamas was not buttoned at all. Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his delicate skin, itching like insects.
"Damn!" Justinian roared angrily and rose from his easy chair, "I haven't had a day of peace since I set out on the expedition......! But...... I don't ...... anything for anything A little ......" he snapped his fingers and walked back and forth on the shaggy carpet with his bare feet.
Suddenly, he looked up and stared out of the dark window, only to see the fire on the uneven hill on the southeast side. "What's the matter? Who would have a party in the middle of the night where the birds don't?" the guards ......" Before His Majesty Justinian could finish speaking, there was a loud bang outside the house.
"Boom!"
Half of the walls of Furuta Castle collapsed.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty!" one of the guards stumbled through the door, turned on the crystal lamp, and said loudly, "Your Majesty...... The subordinates are here!"
His Majesty's ten fingers were pressed against the window, and his knuckles were slightly white with such strength that they were so strong that they were slightly white. "Sure enough, it turned out that what made me uneasy these days turned out to be this!"
"Your Majesty!" the guards stared at His Majesty Justinian in disbelief. His heart was full of doubts, he didn't know what His Majesty was talking about.
"I should have understood! I should have expected it! Damn! Lao Tzu has been tricked!" said Justinian, pounding hard against the window, "Quick! Call Herman Noah, Recard Kashgard, and Roy Jones!"
"Yes!" the guard immediately turned and went out.
"Wait!" said His Majesty Justinian, as if remembering something important, "send ten stalkers out of the city and get there...... See, it's the mountain over there to find out the truth, if I'm not wrong, it's just a bait!"
"Yes!" the guard didn't forget to pat his ass before leaving.
"Boom, boom, boom!" A violent explosion followed, causing the glassware in the room under His Majesty Justinian to "jingle and clang" violently. His Majesty Justinian took out the communication brazier, stared at the green flames in the basin and thought: If I am not mistaken, the real target of the Xuanqing Righteous Army is our army...... Rear......
"General...... Sir hasn't ordered it yet!" The soldier in charge of managing the magic crystal cannon asked General Zhu Wenchong tremblingly. "How's that okay?"
"How is it good? Fuck it, how is it good! Lao Tzu has set up an array of good soldiers here in order to blast those Byzantine scum into ashes!" General Zhu Wenchong drew his steel knife and pointed at Gutian Cheng in front of him and shouted: "All gunners obey orders! Don't skimp on any shells. Kill them all to the scum!"
In the city of Linyi, the headquarters of the Xuanqing Righteous Army. Xuan Qingyi brewed a new pot of tea, and the simple wooden attic was suddenly filled with fragrance. He stared at the pulsating red flame in the communication brazier and said as if asking: "Has Old General Zhu already started? Sure enough, as I imagined, as soon as this old man enters the battlefield, he will rush towards the enemy's position like a mad bull." That's it. And you will do what you have planned. Perhaps General Zhu's reckless behavior will bring us unexpected new gains. ”
"Yes!"
Inside Furuta Castle. His Majesty Justinian stared solemnly at the crystal ball and the communication brazier, muttering something from time to time. Despite the thunderous noise outside the house, the tables and chairs inside the room trembled. The saucer "ding-dong", but he ignored it. The guards on the left and right had tried several times to persuade His Majesty to leave early, but he was indifferent.
Suddenly, the flames in the brazier shook violently, condensing into the shape of Herman Noah's face, "Back to Your Majesty, the east side of Guiwu City, and the west side of Li Chengzhuang have all found the griffin knights of the Xuanqing Righteous Army, the number is unknown. ”
"Sure enough!" Justinian slammed the table and shouted, "They are really attacking our rear line, although Gutian City has suffered a fierce artillery bombardment, it is just a small rain of Thor, it is a feint attack of the enemy!"
"Your Majesty is Shengming!" everyone echoed in unison.
"Order! Order Roy Jones to lead 5,000 griffin knights and crossbowmen to Guiwu for support, and Drogo Kao to lead 5,000 griffin riders and crossbowmen to Li Chengzhuang for support. Kill them clean!"
"Yes!" Noah had just extinguished the brazier, and the brazier was lit again, and Kashgard's face appeared in the flames, "Your Majesty ...... it."
"Hurry up!"
"Yes...... The number of enemy troops on the southeast side of Gutian City has been proven, only 5,000 infantry, but they have more than a dozen magic crystal cannons. His subordinates believe that although the number of enemies is small, they should not be underestimated. ”
"Only 5,000 infantry, and how dare you transport more than a dozen magic crystal cannons to the front line?" His Majesty Justinian rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "How many griffon knights do we have?"
"A total of 20,000, and 10,000 have already been sent to the rear by Your Majesty to intercept the enemy's sneak attack...... That is to say......"
His Majesty Justinian knocked on the table impatiently with his knuckles and asked, "I know this!"
"Then Your Majesty, ...... you ask?"
"Ahhh
"Nope. ”
"And how long will it take for them to arrive?"
"No matter how fast the griffin knight flies, it will take half a day to come from Yoshino Town in the rear. ”
"Half a day, by the time they arrive, we'll all be cannon fodder!" Justinian sighed after a burst of thunder, "Okay...... As long as a thousand griffin knights are enough, order them to come as quickly as they can! There is also an order to go down, ordering all the soldiers in the city to defend the eastern front at all costs, and not to retreat!"
"My subordinates understand!"
Ruinon stared up at the cloudless night sky with his back against the cold rocks, only to see the southern firelight in the night sky flashing. Faintly a muffled thunder could be heard, and the war had begun.
Gonzas lay on his stomach on the sand, bored and playing with the ants with a branch. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and asked Renon, "Why do humans kill each other?"
"I don't know why? I don't know the way, and I can't try to understand it. "This may require you to ask the people who started the war directly." ”
"Then why do you want to be involved?"
"Revenge!"
"Can I use this as a reason for war?"
After hearing this, Renon smiled and said, "Maybe someone will start a war because of this, but I won't...... Or maybe I don't have the ability?"
"Whew! Gonzas snorted coldly and turned back, continuing to draw circles on the ground.
Ronon stared at the southern sky and said, "If one day you ask for the answer, then please tell me, because I am also curious, and I want to know the Tao of the Devil." ”
"If I remember it......" said Gonzas, crumpling the twig into powder. "It smells! I asked about the griffon's smell!"
"Here we are...... It's not just us. And Byzantium!" Rainon took out the wand Sarah had given him and squeezed it hard.
"Poof!" the communication brazier at Ruinon's feet burst into flames, and Zhang Chong's face appeared inside.
"General Zhang?" Although the flames were beating erratically, flickering in and out. But Rinon could still clearly see the tiredness on his face that was not satisfied with the black stains.
"Mr. Stamoko? Call for support!"
"Support, just me?" Ruinon was shocked when he heard this. I thought: This is too much to look up to me, right?
"Yes, Mr. Xuanqing said that as long as you are alone, it is enough!"
"Alright, please tell me where you are, I'll do my best to get there!" said Ronon yelling at Gonzas, "Get up." Miss, there's work to do!"
Xuan Qingyi took a sip of tea, his sharp gaze swept over the row of crystal balls on the table, and thought: Ji Lu can't catch up with the changes, it seems that he has to change his strategy slightly...... General Zhu Wenchong, you are the biggest destabilizing factor in this battle, let it break out! Let me see if you can make this battle more interesting!
Putting down the teacup, Xuan Qingyi stretched out his slender fingers and brushed the communication brazier, and whispered to his face in the flames: "Ji Lu has changed, Sun Xingqian wants you to ......"
Gonzas revealed his true form, carrying Rainon on a pair of small claws that were small for its massive body, and flew rapidly south. After a while, the night sky in front of me flashed into flames, and the sharp whistling sound of breaking the sky came and went.
"Whew!" Gonzas opened his mouth to see a golden-red fireball spraying out the dense flock of griffons in front of him.
The black dragon, one of the strongest creatures on the continent of Middle-earth, the largest dragon in the Western dragon clan, was evaluated as the most dangerous dragon by the poets because of its short temper, and descended on the battlefield at this moment. A few griffon knights, who were a beat slower, couldn't dodge and were mercilessly devoured by the fireball. The other surviving griffin knights suddenly realized that their normally well-trained mounts were no longer obedient at critical moments, and they turned around one after another, no matter how much their masters dragged and kicked them, they could not return to the battlefield.
"Hey, don't mess around, pay attention to the markings on your armor, don't hurt your own people!" Rinon reminded himself after adding several layers of defensive magic. It's not that he doesn't want to bless Gonzath with protective magic, but the dragon's scales have extremely strong magic resistance, and he can't add it if he wants to!
"The enemy has retreated?" Zhang Chong stared at the direction of the departure of the Byzantine Air Force in amazement, stretched out two fingers and pinched his face hard, "It hurts...... It turned out not to be a dream. ”
"Damn! what is that?" "Roy Jones pulled the reins desperately, which made the griffin under his crotch look back reluctantly, but it only circled in circles, refusing to move any further. He took out the communication brazier from his bosom and shouted: "The machine crossbow is even No. 1, No. 2...... Do you hear that?"
"Roger!"
"Tell me what's that big black guy in the sky?"
"Yes...... It's a dragon...... It's a dragon, ahh......h
Jones stared at the northern sky in amazement, and said in a mechanical tone, "Dragon, dragon knight, I'll just say, how could those brutes become so disobedient...... Let's go!Each team reports the loss!" (To be continued......)
