"It should be the Thunder Knights of the Principality of Alban!"

Alice had also put on armor at this moment, only the helmet was still clamped on the graceful waist and was not worn. A bunch of golden hair looked even more hazy in the bright moonlight.

"I didn't expect the reinforcements from White Rock City to arrive so quickly, and there was no Ranger warning in advance."

Gervais didn't know much about the other two principalities outside the Principality of Jean, but he had heard of the Thunder Knights, which were the most elite knights under King Hayden of the Principality of Alban.

Normally, the Thunder Knights are stationed in the royal capital of the Principality of Alban to protect the royal city, but they did not expect to arrive at White Rock City in just four days.

This can only show that King Lawrence's intentions for this operation have actually been informed by Hayden a few days in advance. Otherwise, even if the Thunder Knights traveled day and night, it would take six or seven days to arrive for reinforcements.

Although the specific conditions of the northern battlefield cannot be directly seen from the west wall, the rumble of horse hooves is like thunder on a rainy day, and can still be heard clearly under the silent night sky.

In addition to the sound of horse hooves, there was now a lot of fire over there, which was comparable to the fire set by Gervais.

"Sir, what do we need to do now? Do we need to sound the alarm to wake up all the soldiers?"

The people who were woken up at this moment were only small nobles like Gervais. The alarm bell was not sounded in the camp to wake up all the soldiers, because this could easily cause chaos. Unless it was an emergency, soldiers were generally not allowed to leave the tent at night!

After hearing Alice's words, several young nobles couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing needs to be done! We can just wait here! If the king needs support, a herald will be sent over!"

"And the king's camp has complete defenses. Even the Knights of the Wilderness cannot break into it in a short time!"

Alice is not in a hurry, because even the arrival of the Wilderness Knights cannot pose a big threat to the army of the Principality of Jean, because there are still several golden knights sitting there.

After all, their camp is probably the weakest among the three camps in the Principality of Zeon. Therefore, Alice is not ready to open the camp before receiving a clear order for help. As long as they stay in the camp, they will be safe.

of.

"Look, there are a few people fighting over there!"

At this time, everyone standing on the high platform saw someone fighting three miles away near the southern city wall.

Originally, everything three miles away at this night was pitch black and blurry, but there happened to be a few gorgeous light spots that were constantly entangled.

The bundles of gorgeous sword edges colliding with the fighting spirit are like the fireworks of the previous life, blooming in an instant and lasting for an instant, giving people a dreamy and unreal feeling.

"The Golden Knights are taking action over there! Their fighting spirit can leave their bodies!"

All the nobles, including Gervais, stared intently at the looming place in the distance, sometimes dim and sometimes bursting with light, for fear of missing any detail.

This is a battle between the Golden Knights, and it is rare to see the Golden Knights taking action. Although it is too far away to see the battle process clearly, it is also a pleasure to see the fighting spirit actually manifesting in the air.

"The Golden Knight is really awesome! Not to mention anything else, the effect of just using martial arts at night is definitely a weapon to show off!"

Gervais looked at the sword lights that drew bright streaks of light in the distance from time to time, feeling both envy and yearning in his heart.

At this moment, he finally understood why in those film and television works in his previous life, the energy or sword light released by the two parties in the fight was colored. It was not a special effect, but because the energy can really emit colorful light when separated from the body!

Isn't the sword energy released by the golden knights fighting in the distance or the fighting spirit aroused by the collision the best proof?

While Gervais was thinking wildly, the fight in the distance did not last long. About half a minute later, two figures among the people fighting over there quickly retreated towards White Rock City.

The other few people did not pursue him in the end, and the dreamy battle finally came to an end.

As the battle between the Golden Knights ended, the fighting sounds in the north gradually subsided.

…

The next morning, Alice received an order from the king early, asking her to go to the northern camp to discuss matters.

Alice specifically notified Gervais to go together, because Gervais had told Alice in advance that his plan would be officially implemented today, and it would be today if he could break the city.

Gervais's plan to destroy the city requires flooding White Rock City, which requires other nobles to suspend their siege for a period of time.

Otherwise, when the flood rolls in, it will not be able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. If there are soldiers staying outside the city to attack the city, they will definitely be washed to pieces.

Gervais followed this time just to tell his plan and let the earls stop for an hour or two!

Following Alice to the north of White Rock City, Gervais finally knew where the fire broke out in the north last night.

It turns out that more than thirty large siege ladders here have been burned to the ground. It is obvious that these are the masterpieces of those thunder knights last night.

These large siege ladders are the main force of the siege. Every time you approach the city wall, you can arrange more than ten elite soldiers on the top platform of the siege ladder in advance.

After approaching the city wall, put down the baffle and use it as a wooden bridge. The dozen or so soldiers can come directly to the city wall, posing a huge threat to the defenders of the city wall. Other soldiers can also continuously attack from under this large siege city.

Climb up and go directly to the city wall, without worrying about the arrow feathers guarding the city.

Now that more than thirty siege ladders in the north have been destroyed, it will definitely have a great impact on the Principality of Zeon's offensive against White Rock City.

…

"Last night, the Thunder Knights of the Principality of Alban made a large circle and attacked us from behind. Although they did not cause us any major casualties, they were unable to catch us and most of our large siege ladders were destroyed by them.

Set on fire!”

King Lawrence's face was a little gloomy, obviously he was not in a very good mood today.

"We now have two options. First, we suspend the offensive against Baiyan City and wait until the large siege ladder is built again before continuing the attack. Second, we immediately start a comprehensive attack, using the remaining large siege ladder and those simple

siege the city with wooden ladders!”

"I asked you to come here this time just to ask for your opinions and how to make a choice."

The earls below did not answer immediately, but discussed in low voices.

The Lord of the North took this opportunity to tell Alice and Gervais the specific details of the battle that took place at midnight last night.

It turned out that the Thunder Knights made a large circle and ran towards the City of Glory last night, thus evading the detection of most of the rangers and directly attacked the camps to the north and east.

Although the Thunder Knights, with more than 3,000 people, could not pose any major threat to the two camps, they relied on sudden attacks to disperse the siege teams, and also took the opportunity to destroy more than 30 large siege ladders.

and several trebuchets.

Finally, the cavalry of the Thunder Knights charged in a circle and entered White Rock City from the south gate, which had been prepared for the response.

In order to stop several counts from pursuing the Thunder Knights, the commander-in-chief of the Thunder Knights and Lost in White Rock City had a brief battle with King Lawrence, Nemio and others outside the city.

After the Thunder Knights completely withdrew into White Rock City, Lost and the commander of the Thunder Knights returned to White Rock City safely.

The total number of defenders in Baiyan City now exceeds 9,000, plus two golden knights.

"Your Majesty, now more than half of our large siege ladders have been destroyed. If we use simple wooden ladders to attack the city, there will be a lot of casualties. Moreover, there are only more than 3,000 soldiers of the Thunder Knights in Baiyan City. I think it is better to continue

Wait a day for our large siege ladder to be ready before we start the siege!"

The Charles family is really in bad luck this time. It has not been comfortable since the beginning of the Southern Expedition.

First, the heir was killed in the City of Glory, but the murderer was still at large.

When we arrived at Baiyan City and attacked Baiyan City, we did not know the existence of trebuchets on the city wall in advance, so we suffered the most casualties.

Now Nemio is even more depressed. Most of the large siege ladders that were destroyed last night belonged to his Charles family.

Because it was the time when the Charles family was in charge of the attack, the large siege ladders were driven under Lebaiyan City, and more than ten large siege ladders were directly burned by the soldiers of the Duchy of Alban inside and outside the city walls.

As for the other three earl families, because the siege ladders were all placed near the camp, upon discovering the enemy's surprise attack, they immediately sent out heavy troops to guard the camp, and only four or five of them were burned down.

If the king decides to launch a general attack on White Rock City today, then there is a high probability that his Charles family will miss the first achievement reward, so Nemio certainly does not want to launch a general attack today.

"Fart! Nemio, you deliberately don't want everyone to capture White Rock City. If you give the White Rock City defenders a day to repair, then all our hard work these days will be in vain!"

The Lord of the North immediately objected. Although most of the reasons were because he didn't want to see Nemio, the other half was because of the overall situation.

Because he knew that if he did not take this opportunity to attack the city and give the Baiyan City defenders a chance to breathe, the casualties might be doubled by then.

"Your Majesty, I think we should attack the city immediately. There is no shortage of food and supplies in Baiyan City, and we were just attacked by the enemy last night. Although it did not cause many casualties, if we delay it for a long time, our morale will definitely drop! So we can't continue

waited!"

"Guster, don't slander anyone. It's you. Last night, you only focused on your siege ladders and trebuchets and didn't take action to hunt down the Thunder Knights! That's why so many Thunder Knights cavalry ran into the White House.

Rock City!”

Nemio gritted his teeth. Originally, the Charles family had great hope of getting this first achievement reward, but now that there is no large siege ladder, how could it be possible to defeat Gust and the others with those small wooden ladders.

"Haha, what I have saved is not just the siege ladder of my Welton family, but also the siege ladders of the other three Earl families. How can I not save the siege ladder of your own family, which is as useless as you?"

The Lord of the North replied mockingly.

Suddenly, Nemio was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"You are the Golden Peak Knight! If I had the cultivation level of the Golden Peak Knight, how could I possibly let Lost jump off the city wall and burn down my siege ladder?"

"Okay! No need to argue!"

Seeing that Nemio was mute, the king finally spoke.

He was actually inclined to attack White Rock City immediately, but the Charles family was not the only one whose siege ladder was burned down last night, so the king had to ask for opinions first to see how each family reacted.

After all, even if these people are forced to attack the city, if someone violates the rule and causes the general attack to fail, the blow to morale will be absolutely fatal. By then, his plan for the southern expedition this year will be directly shattered.

"Each of you, please tell me how many intact large siege ladders are left!"

"My Welton family still has 6 seats!"

"My Kewan family still has 7 more!"

"I, the Larkin family, have 5 more!"

“My Jones family has 5!”
