A black eagle hovers in the sky, the undulating earth is small in its eyes, the mountains are like small undulations of the earth, and the villages are like model toys.

It seemed to feel a call. It flew like a long, silver-gray snake that snaked and swam on the ground.

The black eagle fluttered its wings and landed on Arthur's arm. At this time, Arthur was wearing silver armor and riding on a horse, like countless soldiers behind him.

Keller next to him asked, "How's it going?"

Arthur said, "It seems that there is no problem, but it is impossible for Blackstone not to know, it is just too late to gather troops." Now is the time of the autumn harvest, and with their military system, it is inevitable that it will be affected. I can't help but say that it's really appropriate to attack at this time!"

They had set out three days earlier, bypassed the heavily defended border, killed several scouts, and had now penetrated deep into the heart of St. Oranchesmere's region, heading for Blackstone. The number is only 5,000, on the one hand, because the more wrong, the greater the burden of baggage. On the other hand, it is necessary for the main forces to drag down the border guards.

Keller was not so optimistic: "If we can't take Black Rock City in a short time, we will be surrounded immediately, and then the whole army will be annihilated." ”

Arthur's mood was very relaxed, for him, he couldn't die if all the people here were dead. As long as the giant god soldier comes out, the legend can't stop him. However, the giant god soldier is his biggest hole card, so naturally he will not show off for the war of others.

"As long as you capture Blackstone and defend the city, you can immediately cut off the supply lines of the border guards, and there will be a steady stream of reinforcements, and there will also be a piece of my territory in the Kaismir region, and you can be officially canonized as a knight. Keller was worried that Arthur didn't do his best, and it was very rare to have such a spellcaster in an army, and even more rare was that the spellcaster was a druid.

Arthur smiled: "There will probably be fog at this time tomorrow, look at the shape of the clouds and fog in the south, there will be autumn rain in the next few days, the kind that will take a long time, it will be very bad for us to attack the city." This Blackstone City Lord is so courageous that he simply doesn't defend himself. ”

Since the first encounter with the enemy. They went deep behind enemy lines. I didn't even get a single thus. This is naturally a lord's land order. Because it is impossible to assemble a large army in a short period of time. The formation of an ambush and blockade could not even delay the time. On the contrary, they will continue to use victory to nourish the morale of their team.

Keller said disdainfully: "If he succeeds, he will naturally be courageous." If it fails. It will become a laughing stock. The enemy invaded the territory. He didn't even resist. Finally, the Black Rock City will be handed over. The king of their land must be furious!"

Arthur laughed, "Of course. Is there any justification for failure? Losers are always looking for reasons. Whether it's justified or not. But the result is always ignored. Successful people don't have to say a word. Countless people will conclude your success. ”

Keller frowned, "Are we fighting for such foolish people?"

Arthur said, "No. It is the foolish people who fight for you. Thou hast bound them to thy chariot with righteousness. Let them die for you. And you eat the local food. Aren't all the armor worn by them? ”

Le laughed: "It's better to fight for yourself." And they are actually fighting for themselves. It's just that sometimes I can't figure out what I am. ”

The two rode in front of them, just whispering. Keller exclaimed: "Speed up, there will be a heavy fog tomorrow, and we will attack the city at that time and fight for Germany." ”

Countless people made a loud promise to "fight for Germany!"

In Blackstone, the lord of Fano is a count, and Cashmere is his family's domain for generations. In recent years, the barbarians from Germany have made him anxious. Attacking, harassing, attacking, endlessly.

If it weren't for the fact that the Cessed Cash region had been cut, a German attack would have come long ago, and the tragic situation of Cash's old enemy, the Marquis of Simonkos, after losing his territory, was still fresh in his memory.

And now, it's his turn. The opposing troops have already set off, although there are only 5,000 people, they are the most elite troops, no one has just underestimated the quality of German soldiers, those are real steel soldiers. Most of the soldiers under him were farmers, and if it weren't for the belief in defending their homeland, they would have collapsed when they saw blood.

If it is a battle on the plains without five times the number of troops, it is simply self-defeating.

Fano was not entirely devoid of military acumen, and since the cession of the Cash region, he had spent hours a day studying military theory, and his favorite place was long poems. So he made the best decision he could make at the moment. Gather your forces and ask for help from the royal capital, believing that the troops who can't support the ground will arrive.

But no one knows how long it will take, and the Count said to himself: if you want to live longer, don't expect anything from the efficiency of the bureaucracy at Saint-Auland. Relying on other lords in the vicinity of the territory?Everyone understands the truth of the cold lips and teeth, but when the time comes. He remembered how he had called for help from Marquis Cash. Now others will do the same to him.

However, it was surprising that the king had sent a court mage here, and the help of these people in the war was unimaginable. Although they are all strange and proud, but now the Count is right

Respect the old mage as well.

As long as you rely on your own strength, you can also win. He could find a dozen such examples from the book. Half of his knights had already gone to gather troops in various places, and as long as they could hold it for two days, they could eat this army. He didn't believe it, relying on the strength of Black Rock City, he couldn't hold it for even two days. Thinking of this, he was full of confidence in his heart.

Fog, siege.

It was a cold morning with heavy fog. Fueled by Arthur, it became even stronger. The army rested in place for two hours so that the soldiers would not be too tired, but such weather was too rare.

But just as Keller was about to give the order to attack the city, a strong wind suddenly rose, and the fog suddenly dissipated, and the originally vague Black Rock City suddenly became clear, and the intentions of both sides were undoubtedly exposed.

Arthur was surprised: "There are mages on the other side, and they are estimated to be above level ten, probably a member of the palace mage group." It should be proficient in the qi system, and the level of flying skills should be very high, otherwise it would never have come so soon. ”

In just a few words, the identity, level, and proficiency of the mages in the city have been analyzed. But it also shows that the role of mages in warfare is not just a matter of killing a few people with a few fireballs. It's someone who is able to influence the situation.

Keller frowned and hesitated, and finally did not give the order to attack. Attack the city with a tired army, and still without any siege equipment. You must know that in order to travel lightly, even the military rations were only brought for seven days, and now five days have passed.

There was no rations to bring back at all, because there was no need for that. If you fail, you have no choice but to die.

Keller couldn't help but look at Arthur beside him, and before he knew it, he had regarded Arthur as the most trustworthy person now.

Arthur smiled bitterly: "Controlling the weather is a spell that can only be learned at level seven, wait for me to figure it out!"

Then they encamped outside the city in great form, and raised fires and made food. The soldiers really need to rest, and it is difficult for a general who is not considerate of a soldier to move an inch, but if he really loves a soldier like a son, he is not as good as a general who is not considerate of a soldier.

Love soldiers like sons, use soldiers like sons. It's just that the back piece is a pawn.

In Blackstone City, Count Fano thanked the ** master with an almost flattering gesture. A single spell can disarm an attack, and such a power is indeed beyond the reach of mortals. But no matter how strong a mage is, he can only be feared, not respected.

At this time, one of the knights said: "The Germans must be tired from a long journey, and we should take advantage of the situation to attack." Count Fano hesitated suddenly, it is indeed written in military books, but there are also many cases of night attacks and ambushes. Suddenly I was a little in a dilemma.

The knight saw the lord's hesitation, and then said, "Your Excellency, you are worried about whether there is an ambush, you can ask Master Ivan to help us take a look." ”

Fano suddenly felt happy in his heart, and secretly said Why didn't I think of it?, but not only did he remain silent, but he continued to maintain a worried look, "Mages don't stay up late, I'm worried that I have violated Master Ivan's taboo." ”

The knight couldn't help but admire in his heart, Lord Lord is worthy of being Lord Lord, I thought he didn't expect it, it turned out that he not only thought about it, but also thought more deeply than I thought.

Master Ivan was an old man of sixty or seventy years old, but he should have been older, with a white beard and hair, and wore a delicate mage robe with the coat of arms of a lion on it, but the lion's mane was made of countless flames. It was the emblem of the court mage of St. Ålan, symbolizing the protection of royalty.

Today, he withdrew with 5,000 German troops with a raise of his hand, and when he returned, the crowd held him up in the sky. The pride in my heart has long been overflowing, and the more I look at Count Nuo, the more pleasing it becomes, and when I hear Fano say this, there is no reason not to allow it.

So the night attack was decided, and Fano secretly scolded the idiot in his heart, but the reverence on his face was even stronger, and even the knights under his command couldn't stand it. When Ivan went to bed in advance, and only Fano was left, Fano suddenly stood up and said, "You must think that my performance today is shameless!"

The knights didn't even dare to say anything, but they thought so in their hearts.

"Do you know what I'm doing this for, for myself, and I'd rather let the Germans kill me by putting aside our generational honour to grovel to please others. Fano's face was full of sorrow, and tears rolled in his eyes.

"Don't say that, my lord!" "You can't die!" the knights cheered up.

"If we fail," went on to say, "countless people will become slaves of the German dogs, and your wives and children will become playthings in the hands of others. We are not fighting for our own lives, we are fighting for our homeland, for honor, for dignity. Tell these words to the soldiers. If they think it is better to be slaves in Germany, I will give you my head now, so that you may have a knighthood in Germany. "When it comes to the back, I can't stop crying.
