Chapter 1 A Brief Confrontation (Part 2)
Chapter 1: A brief confrontation (Part 2)
This adjustment of the Savras Church was soon completed. The next afternoon, the retaliatory counterattack began in a small castle not far away.
The Knight Muri was promoted to Knight (jazz). He survived for twenty-eight years in the army before he received the title. This was even because there were too few nobles in the northern region and could not maintain territorial order in accordance with the rules and promoted in advance.
In the tens of thousands of years of tradition, due to productivity and customs, the feudal system is the most suitable for the mainland. The principality now has an area of 60,000 square kilometers, but it lacks stable low-level lords to consolidate and maintain the construction of the territory.
Xili is the eight-year-old daughter of Knight Muri, and her mother is Ginny. After obtaining a land that covers an area of 5 square kilometers but rarely inhabited by people, she was still very happy. She hugged Xili and said, "Xili, Dad has become a knight. From now on, there will be people in the territory, and there will be farmland. Then Ashli can have a generous dowry. Of course, before this, you must protect your brother!"
As she said that, she touched her belly happily. Although the child in her belly didn't know whether it was a man or a woman, Ginny felt that only a strong boy could inherit her husband's knighthood (although whether it was a man or a woman, his jazz or territory would not be confiscated)
This time, I came to visit my husband, the Knight's wife, and I was qualified to come once a month and stay for one day. Although the weather was hot, Ginny insisted on coming with me.
This castle is a double-layer stone castle. Although it is not big, it has a hundred soldiers stationed. By the way, a long wooden fence was built in the area near the castle. Naturally, soldiers and servants came to plant some vegetables, fruits and melons, because it is so fresh, as for meat, people will send it to you every once in a while.
In fact, in the past few days, when the three knight ladies came here to visit their husbands with their children, the two ladies who came first seemed to have boys, which made Ginny very envious.
"Come on, Ashley, sing to us."
Although it was Ginny's second time to participate in the rally, almost everyone knew that her daughter Xili had a good voice like a canary. Just a little point in singing skills, she could sing the sound of nature. Although she was still young, the soft and tender Loli accent made people feel comfortable to listen.
Xili agreed softly. Although she wanted to see her father more, her father was on duty now and it was said that she had to stay with them until the afternoon, so she decided to please these aunts first.
However, this time, she felt the castle suddenly tremble. Before she could change her mind, she fell to the ground. However, although she saw that her mother was about to fall, her two ladies immediately grabbed her. They still remember that she was still pregnant.
"Boom! Boom!"
The fireball Technique was attacking rapidly and continuously, and waves of magical power exploded on the castle. A soldier fell directly from the wall several meters high, and blood splattered in the air. It seemed that he could not survive.
The warriors in these castles are quite powerful. Although they see more than a dozen magicians floating in the air on them with their naked eyes, these magicians who have used their flight techniques are basically not the soldiers in the castle below that can be killed.
However, these soldiers immediately hid in their own stones and endured the thunder of the fireball. These soldiers were veterans and were taught to understand that a mage's fireball skills are limited, so such high-altitude bombing will not last for a long time.
"Hmph, listen, throw your mass killing spells down. The time for flying techniques is limited. I believe you know it. Be careful, don't go down, otherwise you will have to be stupid if you die!" said a magician leader in the air.
"Yes, your priest." The mage in the air couldn't wait to put down the magic he had prepared. Some magic was too short to use because of their range, and some had to be in a small space to function. Therefore, after all, only fireball technique is the most suitable - it is powerful and has a long range.
The six fireball techniques that were shot down. Although they were stone castles, they could not help but exploded in such continuous bombing. Not only did the arrow tower collapse, but the inner castle was also opened.
Below the castle, the families of several knights were quickly taken to the basement. These ladies, ladies, ladies, and children were protected by the knights at the first time and took them directly to the bottom to hide.
But the few servants were not treated like this. When they were suddenly attacked, some were very lucky to survive the bombing, while others were unlucky, only half of them were struggling among the broken stones, and even kept vomiting blood and asking for help.
But the luck of those servants was very short, because another fireball hit a stone wall, and the broken stones turned into scattered pieces. These gravels were effortless when they passed through the human body at close range. So, a soldier fell down with his face because a piece of gravel was deeply inserted into his lungs, and blood with bubbles continued to emerge. The soldier's hand was still trying hard to catch something.
Seeing this situation, the temporarily alive servants were all looking like earth. They had no time to feel sad about the fate of this soldier, nor did they protect them, and they could not even follow their masters to the safer basement - because there was limited accommodation there.
They could only lie on the ground and pray to God.
Although the main body of the castle is made of stone, not everything is made of stone. The fireball exploded in a fixed trench and ignited the wooden pulleys. It made a "crackling" sound, and the wood smoked and burned, eventually forming a cluster of flames.
"You can't let it continue to burn. The warehouse is below. If this continues, the warehouse will catch fire!" The squadron leader Knight shouted. Under the command of the commander, the soldiers had to take flames and untied the movable rope of the trencher from the wooden stakes, and tried hard to push it down the wall.
"Look, these ants are still trying to carry things!" A magician above smiled, then aimed the last fireball downward and fired it.
Then, he proudly saw seven or eight soldiers blowing up, their bodies were broken, blood evaporated in the flames, and the broken limbs fell into the flames, and then they were barbecued. A smell of human flesh even spread to the sky with the flames rising above.
"I'll go, I have to push these wooden frames down!" The newly promoted deputy squadron leader, Knight Muri, called, and then he rushed forward. He took a deep breath and then pushed the wooden frame hard desperately. The wooden frame that had to be pushed by three or four soldiers was now pushed to the wall by himself.
The magician who was about to go back saw this situation and also noticed the burning fighting spirit on his body: "There is actually a knight here. Come on, who has the fireball technique? Send another one!"
Several magicians looked at each other, and after a few seconds, one of the magicians took out a scroll: "I still have a scroll of fireball."
"Then cum down quickly."
"Yes, sir." The magician immediately activated the spell.
Knight Muri had already pushed the wooden frame to the wall and was pushing it hard. Then the wooden frame fell from the wall several meters high into the moat below, but he smiled happily and heard his squadron leader shouting: "Murri, lie down quickly."
Although he had been through many battles, he immediately fell down, but a fireball technique exploded near him. The huge flames soared into the sky. His body was thrown back by the fierce and hot air flow. Without having time to close his eyes, his eyes had been destroyed by the hot light and heat of the moment when the fireball technique exploded. His body fell on a stone slab three meters away. His strong body had been twisted, and half of his shoulders had been blown off, and a burnt hole appeared, and bright red blood was pouring out from this hole.
The knight's strong body was still trembling and did not die immediately. He struggled hard, as if he was looking at the inner castle, which showed its powerful vitality...
The nearby soldiers couldn't help but feel a terrifying look, and at the same time they felt a deep helplessness. You know, this deputy squadron leader Knight is a good player who grew up in constant battles, but in the bombardment of fireball, he exploded away in an unknown way.
"Pastor, priest!" The squadron leader knight ordered sharply. A low-level priest hesitated for a moment, but he still did not dare to disobey the squadron leader who had already emitted a cold light in his eyes, so he had to come forward with flames. Of course, the object of his treatment was not the unlucky soldiers, but the knight.
"Holy Healing!" The priest looked at Muri and knew that such a situation was very dangerous, but he had to use divine magic. The white holy light shone on his wounds. The burnt wound was forcibly healing, and the blood stopped. The process took about a minute. The priest couldn't help but pray to God to let him survive. You must know that at such a time, if the magician in the sky had magic, he could easily kill him.
"Wait until they come down, give them a lot." The squadron leader Knight suppressed his feelings and calmly ordered the soldiers below.
Those soldiers were veterans, so they immediately understood.
There are no magicians here, so there are no temporary magical crossbow arrows, but there are ten permanent crossbow arrows here. As soon as these crossbow arrows were handed over, they were taken over by the squadron leader Knight. He sneered and installed them, and then quietly waited again.
As long as these magicians come down, they will be kept even if they make great sacrifices. He thought so.
"Squadron Captain, you see, all these mages have been withdrawn."
The bombing stopped. After a while, someone poked his head out, but at this moment, the breeze blew gently, and the water on the protective river below wafted with fish scales. The sun was bright and quiet, and the magician in the sky had no trace!
"Bastard, these guys ran away!" The squadron leader Knight only felt depressed and had nowhere to vent his anger. He hit the rock hard. Even if blood splattered on his hands, he did not feel any pain.
"Mury! Knight Muri!"
There was no danger, so he quickly stepped forward, but the Muri Knight was unconscious and spitting blood unconsciously, and even some internal organs were in it.
"What's going on? Pastor?"
"The trauma has stopped the blood, but his internal organs are shattered."
"Then you can treat it."
"Captain of the Squadron, I am just a 3-level priest. I can't do anything about the wounds in the internal organs. You should be very clear about this." The priest also became tough. During the battle just now, he could not resist the order, but now, he had a complete reason.
The squadron leader's eyes blew on fire, but he had no choice but to do anything. This was not the priest's fault. If the priest is punished for this, then he, the squadron leader, must also be punished if he complains to the temple.
"Go and call his wife." The squadron leader said expressionlessly, and then said to the priest: "You have a way to make him awake for the time being, priest."
"Yes, there is a way, but it can only last for a few minutes." The pastor said.
At this time, the people in the basement had already come out. When the ladies saw this, they couldn't help but look pale, but at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief. Only Ginny not only looked pale, but also was shaking because she had seen her husband's miserable appearance.
"Dad, Dad!" Xili rushed forward.
"It's time." The squadron leader signaled, so the priest immediately used the second magic technique. The white light fused into the broken body, extracting the remaining vitality of the other parts, and concentrated on the brain part of Knight Muri. Suddenly, Knight Muri woke up.
"Xili, don't cry, don't cry." He seemed to want to reach out to touch his daughter, but he was powerless. Xili was very smart. She cried and grabbed her father's hand, then put it on her face, letting her father caress her.
"Good kid, live strong and take care of your mother and brother." Knight Muri knew that he had not had much time, so he looked at his wife: "Ginny, don't cry, for the sake of the children, for the sake of the children, you must be strong, and you will leave all the territory and children to you in the future."
He seemed to try hard to touch his arms, and the smart Xili immediately stepped forward and helped him find a gold necklace from his arms: "Xili, you have been following me for ten years, and I have never had the money to buy something for you, now... I will buy it for..."
When he said this, his vitality had been exhausted and his eyes dimmed.
The shaky Ginny didn't say a word, she just fell backwards, and then, under her newly bought skirt, the blood of the big bunch came out.
"Pastor, hurry up, stop the blood, don't let the child have a miscarriage. This is Muri's heir!" The squadron leader of course knew what this meant and shouted immediately.
The priest hurriedly went up, no matter what, and tore open her skirt, and then used a magic trick to stop the blood and prevent the fetus from aborting.
