() Although Rockel did not participate in the Eastern Conquest of the Twelve Principalities, he was promoted through military service, so he has a lot of experience in leading an army.
On the second day of the sneak attack, he slowed down the army and marched with the logistics team, so even though they were still frequently harassed by bandits in the next three days, and even Tyson showed up, the army still
There was no attrition of more than a hundred people.
The ending of big thunder but little rain also made the low morale begin to recover.
On a sunny summer afternoon, facing the white clouds in the sky, the army arrived at the Big Rock Pass. After half an hour of trekking, everyone saw the mountain stronghold built halfway up the mountain.
"Why didn't they escape?"
Rocker was riding on a war horse and observing the village with a telescope. He was stunned when he saw the figure of an ogre on the sentry tower.
"They are not out of their minds and want to hold on, right?"
Lukia's face turned gloomy. If there were no gangsters, the soldiers could easily capture the stronghold, and then use the DV crystal to take pictures of the burning of the nest, plus the footage of the execution of some bandits, and then report it to the Duke.
They had always done this before, but this time the Iron Man Bandits seemed determined to fight the army to the death.
"Wutao, give me the telescope!"
The centurions all gathered together to chat, but Downton stood alone in the back. However, he was still the most conspicuous presence, because behind him stood twelve tall and strong bear jinglings.
These prisoners never thought about escaping, because these three days made them feel that they were the happiest in their lives. They could eat delicious food that even the leader had never eaten before, and they didn't have to work anymore.
There is no better life than this.
Downton is too soft-hearted and hasn't learned how to treat prisoners. If he were a veteran, let alone eating, he would be thankful if he didn't beat these natives to broken bones every day.
"Uncle, are you going to attack the stronghold soon?"
Hutao's little face was filled with excitement, and she wanted to rush into battle right away.
"possible!"
After taking over Hubble and adjusting the magnification, the situation in the cottage became clearer. Downton could even see the skin of the ogre on the guard tower clearly.
The Big Rock Pass is the first large-scale hill in the Dragon Hills facing Delankfurt. It consists of more than a dozen mountains with an altitude of about 700 meters.
Tyson chose a hill with the steepest slope and built his mountain stronghold on the 500-meter mountainside. If he wanted to attack it, there was only a winding mountain road.
"If we attack by force, the casualties will be huge."
"The widest part of the mountain road is only five meters, and the narrowest part is only a little over one meter. Our soldiers cannot deploy their formation at all."
"The most troublesome thing is the last 100 meters of mountain road. The damn gangsters actually built it into a straight line. If they had prepared enough wood and rolling stones, the consequences would be disastrous."
Listening to the discussion coming from the centurion, Downton was also thinking about the method of attack. The outside of the mountain village was lined with five-meter-high forest walls. The tops were sharpened, and the surface was charred to black. The layout was
With barbs attached to it, even if the army attacks with casualties, it will not be easy to break the camp.
"Let the militia go ahead and consume the gangsters' wood!" Rocker glanced at the telescope in Downton's hand, looking at the rough dwarf-style patterns on it, and a strong greed flashed across his face.
"Isn't this method inappropriate?" Aseko raised doubts because he was a direct descendant of Rukia.
"As long as we capture the stronghold and get Tyson's head, even if some people die, I believe the Duke will be able to accept it." Rocker pointed at the mountainside with his riding crop, "Looking at the terrain, there are only a few houses that can be built inside.
After the gangster's family, it would be good to have three hundred soldiers."
"They ran away before we could kill them before. Why are they so crazy this time?" Jovic's expression became ferocious and he roared, "We must teach them a lesson!"
In fact, these officers did not have much objection to using the militiamen as cannon fodder. What they worried about was that people would die but they would not be able to capture the stronghold.
"Even if there are five hundred people, it's not difficult to deal with it. Don't forget that we also have three magicians who can provide remote support!" Rocker paused and smiled, "No, it's four!"
"Downton has abominations and ghoul warriors, let him take the lead." Jovich had already begun to plot against Downton, and wanted him to fight no matter what.
It's better to die, but if you don't die, even if you are not injured, you can still consume his physical strength and strength, and it will be much easier to kill him later.
"Go and notify the militiamen to prepare. The Sixth Brigade will be the first to go!" Rocker liked this feeling very much. With just one order, many people may pay their lives.
Aseco was about to question, but when he saw Rukia's silence, he quickly shut his mouth.
Rocker was originally wondering why Rukia didn't fight for Downton, but after a while, he understood that although Downton was young, he was definitely not a submissive guy.
After the messenger informed the Sixth Brigade, there was an uproar immediately, followed by curses and complaints.
"Shut up, everyone!" Jovic glared at the militiamen and drew his saber, "Do you want to disobey? Then I can kill you directly!"
The guards cooperated and pulled out their scimitars. The sharp blades shone brightly in the sun, and filled with murderous intent. They instantly silenced the militiamen of the Sixth Brigade.
"You deserve it, it's all Downton's fault, you were chosen!"
Little Grandet squeezed into the crowd and sarcastically said that he wanted the militiamen to hate Downton, and it would be better if he stabbed him in the back.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the militiamen of the Sixth Brigade looked at Downton with resentment in their eyes. Some of the militiamen of other brigades could not bear it, but most of them were happy to reconcile their hatred.
"You are asked to ride a war bear, raise demon servants, and feed the captives bread and honey. Are you unlucky now?"
The militiamen's jealousy towards Downton completely exploded at this moment, and they discussed without any scruples, as if they were looking at a dead man.
No one is an idiot. The first wave of militiamen who attacked the village were definitely cannon fodder. It was a good achievement if they survived. That was because the war team showed mercy and did not hack them to death. However, based on Downton's relationship with the officers, he was destined to die.
Already.
Downton originally planned to lead all the militiamen to resist, but when he looked at the eyes around him, he suddenly felt a huge loneliness coming down like a Siberian cold wave, making his whole body cold.
"If the cottage cannot be opened, Rocker will fill in more militia cannon fodder. Do you think you will be spared?" Downton pointed at Little Grandet and laughed, "I swear, you will definitely die there.
In front of me!"
"Go ahead and dream!" Little Grandet gestured with his middle finger, "I'm waiting to see how you die! Don't worry, I will definitely tell Elaine the circumstances of your death!"
"What? You want to disobey? Don't you have hatred and ghouls? If you charge with them, you can definitely take down the stronghold." Jovic laughed at Downton, "What's the use of your wealth? Your status is not enough, it's the same."
Being crushed by our nobles.
"Sir, I will obey the order and charge, but his team must be the first to go!" Downton ignored Jovich, looked at Rocker, and pointed at little Grandet.
"Why are you crazy?" Little Grandet was startled. The militiamen in the same team also had similar expressions and looked at Rocker uneasily.
"Downton, remember your identity, there is no room for you to bargain here?" Jovic scolded, "Supervise the team and charge them under pressure!"
"Homer, Walnut, Celes, prepare to fight!"
Downton took out the soul mount badge and infused it with magic energy. The unicorn sprang out and the war space opened behind him. All the ghouls filed out and surrounded him. Ten abominations acted as human shields to block him.
in front of the entire team.
After Hutao released the Sherman War Bear, he turned over and jumped up, carrying the torn dragon teeth, full of fighting spirit.
Celes, who was heavily protected by Quasimodo, took out her staff and began to prepare magic.
Well, everyone took a step back. The attack lineup displayed by Downton was really too strong, and they didn't want to be the first to be attacked.
"Downton, are you going to rebel?" Jovic was furious and gave his uncle a look, asking if he would take the opportunity to kill him.
"Rebellion? I have prisoners, I have dozens of heads, and I have Dofink to help me speak. Do you think the Duke will punish me?" Downton mocked.
"Did you run away? There are more than 2,000 of us here, and each of us can drown you with his spit." Jovic roared, he was going to be furious.
"Can you catch up with my mount?" Downton stroked the unicorn's mane, and it snorted comfortably.
All the eyes of the audience fell on the unicorn with pure white fur. It was so smart and pure, with its four hooves stepping up, as if it were stepping on the clouds.
The centenarians glanced at Rocker. Under his crotch was a Franconian purebred horse worth one hundred thousand gold coins. It was used to escape without any loss, but compared with the unicorn, it was like a scumbag.
, within a hundred meters, you will be left behind and eat dirt.
The war bear roared and slapped its paw on the ground. The ground was shattered into pieces and turned into a big crater.
"If the Fifth Battalion is allowed to attack first, will you fulfill your promise and charge?" Rocker estimated Downton's strength and found that it was impossible to kill him instantly. As long as Abomination bought him some time to escape, he wouldn't be able to catch up even if he was trying to catch up.
it.
"Yes, but I asked to be the fifth in line to charge, and you can all testify!" Downton knew that Rocker would agree, because the soldiers could not capture the stronghold at once, so they had to use cannon fodder from several brigades.
Now I just change the order of attack.
Even if Roquel doesn't agree, there is Rukia, but until now, he hasn't said a word, and Downton already feels that he is unreliable.
"I hope you will remember what you said. If you make a mistake, I will let you know the consequences of deceiving me." Rocker let go of the harsh words and pointed his riding crop at Little Grandet, "Let the fifth brigade be the first echelon.
, attack the mountain stronghold in ten minutes."
"Little Grandet, don't die!" Downton teased, returning the original words, "But don't worry, I will tell Grandet the details of your death!"
