Section 163 Reunion (Part II)
"Quick, quick. Prince Rett jumped down the last step of the stairs.
Ignoring the worried look of Taylor next to him, he reached out first, ready to support the woman behind him.
Of course, his hand was in the air, and Agatha jumped lightly down the somewhat high steps.
There seemed to be a commotion in the city, and Taylor reminded Prince Rett that it was better to go down immediately, so the three of them came down from the watchtower in the General's Palace.
"Your Royal Highness, from now on, you can no longer be willful, you must follow my arrangement. Taylor said solemnly as if he had changed into a different person.
Agatha was not at all surprised, for she had seen it on her last trip with them.
On the surface, this Taylor looks like a submissive, sycophant squire, but in fact he is a high-ranking swordsman sent by Feuerbach to be in charge of security by his son's side, and he is a second-class swordsman who is good at it.
Every time she saw him, Agatha remembered that Solomon also had a double-edged Guerra by her side, but the two had completely different styles.
is also a second-class sword, Gera is mainly hidden and assassinated, and this Taylor is an upright swordsman.
Without him, it would have been impossible for Prince Rett to survive the last sneak attack by a group of people.
"Miss Agatha, I hope you can also understand that the city seems to be attacked by surprise soldiers now, and I estimate that General Theresia will be desperately entangled, and the enemy's target is most likely to come to the General's Palace. Taylor said.
Agatha nodded and said lightly: "I will listen to your command, you can protect your prince." โ
Taylor smiled wryly, as a bystander. It was evident that Agatha was not interested in her own prince. It's just that Leiter is bent on currying favor with this woman. Or even if he knew, he wouldn't change his original intention, and teenage love is like that.
Taylor quickly showed his skills as a good commander, and he took out Theresia's Talisman out of nowhere, and quickly took over the defense of the General's Palace.
This time the Holy Lana Empire's offensive was ferocious, and Theresia had to go all out, and even brought her personal guards to the battlefield, but because of Prince Leiter, there was still an elite mixed squadron left in the General's Palace, with two heavy infantry squads. A squad of axemen, two squads of archers, a squad of heavy pikes, and a squad that can fire large bed crossbows.
Under Taylor's command, the squads were quickly placed in the most appropriate positions, while Prince Rett and Agatha were invited by Taylor to the top floor of the main mansion, and Taylor personally guarded the penultimate floor.
At this time, the enemy's attack also reached the outside of the general's mansion, and the bloodsmoke mercenaries rushed forward with a roar, and then were shot by the archers in high places.
Carlos on the side of the Bloodsmoke Mercenaries also took command, and he also sent archers to shoot at each other. However, as a mercenary group, it is inferior to the regular army in terms of equipment. Coupled with the fact that the opponent's archers occupied a high position early on, the archers of the Bloodshot Smoke Mercenary Group suffered a lot in this battle.
However, Carlos's goal was to attract the attention of the other party, and he took the opportunity to send a giant axe to slash down the gate.
Although the gate of the General's Mansion is strong, it cannot be compared to the city gate, and it will not be long before it will be destroyed under the chopping of the giant axemen.
However, Gao Rudas waited a little impatiently, "It's so slow, what to shoot with them, just rush to me." โ
He strode forward, and the Saxon archers on the high ground immediately noticed his anomaly, and from his posture it was clear that he was a small leader, if not a leader, and immediately shot at him with more than a dozen people.
But Gorudas's footsteps did not stop, and when an arrow came at him, he just waved the great axe in his hand, and the door-like axe became the best shield to knock the bow and arrow back.
"Break it for me!" Gao Rudas squeezed away his own men, and his subordinates knew the temper of the regiment commander and hurriedly got out of the way.
Gorudath swung his battle axe, a blood-colored glow gathered on it, and then took off his axe and slashed it at the gate.
The gate of the General's Mansion suddenly fell apart, and Gao Rudas laughed: "Rush in and kill, Ludwig promised me that whatever we grab in the city will be ours." โ
However, it was not so easy, as soon as the gate was broken, two squads of heavy infantry squads immediately blocked their way, allowing the archers in the high places to continue shooting.
And at this time, there was another attack, and on the side towers on both sides of the main building, there was the sound of large bed crossbows firing.
One by one, the iron javelins were shot out, directly into the camp of the Bloody Smoke Mercenary Group that was desperately moving forward.
The power of this thing is so great that it is not a problem to penetrate the iron armor, and it is a whole way under a single shot, and it will penetrate multiple enemies in a straight line one after another.
And it's not just one bed crossbow shooting, a bed crossbow mainly requires four people to operate, but counting the transports and guards requires eight to ten people, and five bed crossbows are placed on each side of the building, and each shot is ten arrows.
The Bloodsmoke Mercenary Regiment was very miserable when they were attacked by the bed crossbow, if they were shot by the bed crossbow outside at the beginning, the number of deaths would be less, but at this time they were crowded on the inside of the gate to meet the opposing heavy infantry soldiers, and in this position, ten bed crossbows could just form an intersection.
In a series of screams, in a short period of time, more than half of the squadron of bloody mercenaries were either killed or injured, and these guys were usually bloodthirsty, and they also began to retreat.
Gao Rudas casually cut off the head of a retreating rout, "Who dares to retreat?"
Under the prestige of the leader, the Bloody Smoke mercenaries had no choice but to rush forward again to fight to the death.
However, Gao Rudas is not the kind of person who "gives me up" in KMT, and if he is that kind of person, his mercenary group will not be able to gain a foothold in the top three.
He forced his men to step forward, and he himself was the first soldier, because he saw that although the bed crossbow was powerful, the defenders had a fatal weakness, that is, the number was a little smaller, and there were only three squads of heavy infantry and spearmen to contain the enemy at the gate, not to mention that he Gao Rudas had already taken action himself.
Like a whirlwind, Gorudas rushed into the enemy's ranks, and with a horizontal axe, the sword and spear in front of him snapped.
His previous cousin had already let the soldiers in the side tower know that it was powerful, and the bow and arrow were almost ineffective against him, so he made a move. The bed crossbows in the wings on both sides were also immediately aimed at him. Even if it hurts your own family, you can't care about it. Ten bed crossbows shot out.
Gao Rudas sneered, and a blood-colored light rose from his body, and the field was immediately filled with an extremely heavy smell of blood.
The blood-colored light quickly converged into a giant wolf that looked up to the sky and roared, and the soldiers within twenty meters of him, regardless of whether they were friends or enemies, smelled the heavy smell of blood in their noses, all like nightmares.
Even the iron javelin, which had been shooting at him, slowed down, and then saw the axe light pass by, and the five javelins on the left were cut in two by the axe light. The iron javelin on the right was not all shot down by the axe, but only two breakthroughs hit him.
But as if it had been shot at an iron plate, only one shot into his ribs, and the other bounced off.
Gorudas pulled out half of the spear and plunged it into the javelin under his ribs, chewed it twice as he put it into his mouth, bit off the head of the spear alive, and then threw the barrel of the spear directly into the armor of a heavy infantryman.
A lump of iron erupted from his mouth, denting the helmet of a spearman, and the man fell limply. Act recklessly.
His action really suppressed both the enemy and us. The bed crossbow squads on both sides forgot to continue shooting for a while.
By the time they had come to their senses, the large force of the Bloodsmoke Mercenaries finally rushed through the gate, drowning the three poor squads, and then attacked the archers on either side and the wings higher.
As soon as the "meat shield" at the door was extinguished, the archers and bed crossbowmen, although they were still shooting desperately, only caused some more damage, and it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed.
However, Gao Rudas was not happy, he personally led the team, six of the eight squadrons of the Blood Smoke Mercenary Regiment were here, although the other party had the advantage of defending, but he still lost most of the squadron, which was simply a great shame.
"Captain, I think there may be big fish in this building. Carlos looked thoughtfully at the main building in front of him.
"Big fish?" said Gorudas, in a slightly better mood.
"Maybe there's something important in there, and they're resisting so stubbornly. Carlos whispered.
"Get in!" shouted Gorudasโ
At the city gate, Theresia already knew that something was wrong with the General's Palace, but she was a flawless clone, she was besieged by Ludwig and two mercenary captains, and there were also Holy Lana Imperial soldiers attacking like a tide.
The city was also full of smoke, Ansbach only had one army or the Knights of the Rising Dragon, and the enemy had a certain advantage in numbers, and if it weren't for Theresia's bravery, because the gates were suddenly breached, the battle would have been lost.
The Bloodsmoke Mercenary Regiment did not join the siege, not because Gaurudas disdained to kill women, nor because he was kind, but because Ludwig wanted to kill Theresia together.
The Holy Lana Empire had been at war with the Duchy of Saxony for many years, and Ludwig was well aware of Theresia's strength and decisiveness.
If Gaurudas did not take the opportunity to rush in when the city gate was breached, or if he would rush in and then join the siege, it would be very likely that Lycia would have decided that she could no longer hold the city, and would lead her guards to break through, and it would be extremely difficult for Ludwig to kill her.
And although the Bloodsmoke Mercenary Regiment came by order, Gorudas was only willing to listen to the orders of the Imperial Prime Minister Laszlo, even if it was the black flash of the Thunderlight Legion, Ozwald, did not think of him sacrificing himself.
After breaking through the city gate, if the Bloodsmoke mercenaries hold the city gate so that Ludwig and them can enter, this will of course be beneficial to the Imperial Army, but the Bloodsmoke Mercenaries may have to pay a heavy price.
His own force and his mercenaries were the dependence of Gaurudas, and he did not want to take advantage of Ludwig's fire, so he agreed to open the gates for the Imperial army, but on the condition that Ludwig would not interfere with how he fought after the gates were broken.
That's why he won't stay at the city gate and fight to the death with Theresia, but take the opportunity to kill it, and even attack the general's palace in order to loot the wealth, and when he has made enough, Theresia may also be almost consumed by Ludwig, and he will join the siege again.
Ludwig couldn't control him, so he had to agree, and he also had another idea, if the blood smoke mercenaries attacked the general's mansion, if Theresia retreated to the general's mansion, the city gate would be broken, and when the army invaded and besieged the central general's mansion from all sides, it would be almost impossible for Theresia to escape.
"Max, immediately take a team of people to support the General's Mansion. Theresia's beautiful eyes showed uncontrollable anxiety, she didn't know who those people who attacked the city just now, it seemed to be a mercenary group, but Prince Leiter was inside, if something happened because of this, then even if she defended the city, she would not be able to explain it to His Majesty Feuerbach.
"But, Commander, you ...... here," Theresia's adjutant Max, who was in charge of the defense of the city, was stunned for a moment when he heard the order.
"Go, it's an order. Theresia said sharply, although she was attacked by three high-level warriors, she still did not fall behind, in fact, if she didn't need to block the city gate, but in an open area, and there were only these three opponents, she should be able to win.
"Yes!" Max glanced at his goddess one last time, he couldn't disobey her, whether she was a chief or a goddess in his heart for a long time.
So, even if he knew that as soon as he left, Theresia would be even more difficult, with him, at least the defense on the city wall Theresia didn't have to worry, and Max could also join the battle if necessary, in fact, he had quietly broken through the high level three years ago, but he had been hiding it for the sake of that feeling, and was willing to continue to stay by Theresia's side as an adjutant.
Shortly after Max left with his group, there was a sound of collapse behind him.
Under the continuous fierce battle between Theresia and the three high-ranking warriors, the city wall, which was so strong that the bed crossbow could only shoot shallowly, could not withstand the impact of the force, and began to collapse, and Ansbach's offensive and defensive battles fell into an even more dangerous situation-
"My lord, it seems that the battle on the other side of the city gate, the defenders are about to lose, can we leave? Nigaul bowed his head and reminded.
"Well, I've seen it pretty much too. Solomon nodded.
"Do we want to leave some souvenirs as well? Chebman said eagerly.
From a distance, a group of men and women suddenly jumped, seemingly running out of the house, and behind them, a group of mercenaries chased after them.
Solomon and the other three stood in the middle of the street, letting people run by, but the bloodsmoke mercenaries who chased after them refused to let them go.
There are eight regular squadrons under his command, and there are also a number of people scattered throughout the continent who can take on some designated tasks for him that are not suitable for the mercenary agency, but in the past few years, as he has wholeheartedly surrendered to the Holy Lanna Empire, he has been regarded as the faction of Prime Minister Laszlo.
Of these eight squadrons, six were now following him in the attack on the General's Palace, and the first one was almost lost to the city gates, and the remaining one was left in the city to continue to loot after rushing in.
He wants the wealth of the General's Mansion, but there is no reason for the people to let it go, mosquito meat is also meat, and a small amount can become a lot.
This squad of mercenaries chasing and killing citizens is one of them, but when they encounter the three of Solomon, even if it is a squadron, there is only one way, not to mention that it is only a team of 100 people.
Solomon didn't look at the stupid mercenaries, they fell to the hands of Chebman and Nigaul who were stimulated by blood and war, and some of them couldn't hold back, especially Chebman, who was a pirate and led the musketeers before, was the worst of Leonis and Henley, because he was accustomed to pirate tactics and did not like musket shooting that required strict discipline, but it was the bloodthirsty battle in front of him that made his heart flutter.
One after another, the Bloodsmoke mercenaries fell, and Solomon stepped over their corpses, "We ......"
He was about to leave when suddenly there was a strange movement in the direction of the General's Mansion.
A pillar of pale green light broke through the pavilion and soared into the sky, creating a large hole in the stone main building there.
"Well, that's ......," Solomon sighed, and then, as if remembering something, pointed to the General's Mansion, "Let's go there." (To be continued......)
