At dawn, Duke Mac woke up from his nightmare again.
boom!
The guards on duty in the corridor were alerted by the shouts, and they directly opened the door and rushed in. Because the movement was too violent, the armor rubbed against each other, making a sound of steel clashing.
"Master, are you okay?"
The captain of the guard quickly walked to the bed and checked the Duke's body. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's just a nightmare. Get out!"
Mike pinched his eyebrows and looked very tired. He had not had a good night's sleep since Downton's army appeared outside the city.
The captain of the guard waved his hand and asked his subordinates to exit.
"What's going on in Downton lately?"
The Duke pulled the rope at the head of the bed, a clear bell rang, and the maid quickly came in carrying a teapot.
"The death knight didn't see it. The dark rangers were still covering the battlefield, while the ogres were cutting down trees and building simple siege equipment."
The captain of the guard has to pay attention to the enemy troops outside the city every day, so he is familiar with it.
"Where's the steam airship?"
Mike was scared to death by those airships. He was afraid of being bombed while he was sleeping at midnight, so he had moved out of the Duke's Palace and lived in a separate courtyard.
"I didn't see it. They must have stopped somewhere to rest. It would be great if we could know their location and conduct a surprise attack."
The captain of the guard is very sorry. Steam airships consume a lot of energy when flying, and they definitely need to be replenished. When they are in the sky, even the mage group cannot reach it, so after landing, it is naturally the best opportunity to attack. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find
Can't reach their location.
"Don't do it. It would be terrible if the cavalry and natives take the opportunity to rush into the city. Wait, as long as Kevin comes back for reinforcements, an army of hundreds of thousands can easily make dumplings out of them."
Mike quickly stopped him. He was worried that the captain of the guard's excessive behavior would anger Downton and force him to jump over the wall. After all, the longer it was delayed, the better it would be for his own side.
"Master, there are only thousands of indigenous infantry left outside the city. Not a single death knight can be seen, and the number of dark rangers is also very small. They have to sneak around outside the city every day. I always feel that they show up deliberately, or
What are you hiding?"
The captain of the guard hesitated for a moment, then decided to speak.
"Covering what?"
Mike finally calmed down while drinking the fragrant coffee handed to him by the maid.
"To cover up the fact that the army has left, do you think Downton's target is the army commanded by Kevin?"
the captain of the guard asked.
"Haha. Are you kidding? He raided the main city just to avoid fighting with Kevin's army. If he made so many feints, it was just to fight with Kevin. What's the purpose?"
Mike burst out laughing and spit the coffee all over him, "Quick, napkin!"
The maid hurried over and wiped the Duke's clothes.
"Don't forget, his military strength is already at a huge disadvantage. If it were you, would you leave nearly 10,000 ogre natives outside the city?"
Mike put on a wise expression and taught the captain of the guard a lesson.
"The master is wise!"
The captain of the guard thought the same thing. According to the intelligence description, Downton's most subordinates are the natives. Without them, what would he use to fight Kevin?
"Forget it, you all go out, I'll take a rest!"
Seeing the maid bending over to make the bed quilt, with her plump buttocks set off like a peach by the silky maid skirt, the Duke became interested and was ready to relax.
The captain of the guard glanced at the maid, lowered his head and left, closing the door behind him.
Duke Mike grabbed the maid's wrist, pulled her directly onto the bed, touched her buttocks with his big hands, squeezed her hard, and then pulled off the maid's skirt with a tearing sound.
The white garter stockings were exposed, tightening his thighs. Mike touched them unceremoniously. Just as he let out a heavy breathing like a bull and just fell on the maid, the door was knocked open.
.
"Who? Want to die?"
The Duke was startled, but after seeing that it was the intelligence officer who burst into the door, he suppressed his anger and asked angrily, "What happened?"
"Duke...Duke, something bad has happened. Commander Kevin's entire army has been destroyed!"
There was no color on the intelligence officer's face, and the information he was holding was completely soaked with nervous sweat.
"What? What did you say?"
Mike laughed twice, thinking he heard wrongly.
"Commander Kevin's army marched to the pine forest section, and was attacked by the Western Border Army led by Downton. They were completely burned by a fire. Only more than 20,000 troops were left, and they retreated towards the border in embarrassment!"
After the intelligence officer finished speaking, Duke Mike grabbed a pillow and hit it hard on the face.
"Go away, don't lie to me!"
Mike's face was full of ferocious roars. He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it. If what the intelligence officer said was true, it meant that his southern border was over, because except for his Guards, all well-equipped main regiments were there.
Kevin's men have not fought a single battle, let alone resisting the invasion of other forces, even the rebellion in the southern border. They have no troops to suppress it.
"Duke, can you think of a solution quickly?"
The intelligence officer urged, stepped forward, and handed the sweat-soaked intelligence to the Duke.
"When did this happen?"
The Duke looked at the words on the paper and felt dizzy.
"Five days ago, because the Dark Ranger covered the battlefield, the sentry who delivered the message could not approach the main city at all. This portion was brought in by a carrier pigeon!"
Even this homing pigeon was hit by an arrow. Fortunately, it fell on the city wall and was picked up by the soldiers and handed over to him.
"Five days ago? Doesn't that mean that Downton can already assemble here without any worries? No, maybe the troops are already approaching the city!"
Thinking of this, Duke Mike could no longer bear it. He was so furious that he spat out a large mouthful of blood, and then fainted on the bed.
After receiving the news, a group of high-ranking officials rushed to the Duke's Mansion and argued for a whole day, but could not come up with any solution.
"Could it be false information?"
The Minister of Finance suddenly spoke, and everyone who had been wandering for a day suddenly felt like a lost traveler who had discovered the morning star, and for the first time, surprise appeared on their faces.
"Yes, it may be the intelligence sent by Downton to make us get into trouble!"
"Yes, that's an army of 150,000. How many troops does Downton have? If we give him 20,000, even if we stand and let him chop, it will take a whole day to kill, and he will probably need three or four swords!"
"
Everyone talked a lot, and the more they talked, the more they felt that this was Downton's trick.
"Let's not panic. Don't be afraid of losses. Try to send out more scouts and get in touch with Kevin first!"
As the most important minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer was naturally responsible for all matters when Duke Michael was vomiting blood and injured.
"Should we send out troops to tentatively attack the natives?"
A nobleman suggested it.
"No, maybe Downton is trying to lure us out of the city!"
More nobles spoke up to stop it, and all the generals who could lead troops to fight went out to fight. The rest were all political officers and had no experience in military affairs at all.
The summer night suddenly became long, and the high-ranking officials who had once been so sensual and sensual had insomnia for the first time and stayed up all night.
"Any news from Kevin?"
Hearing the hurried footsteps outside the door, a group of nobles ran out in unison.
"No, no news!"
After the intelligence officer finished speaking, a group of nobles lowered their heads and walked back listlessly.
"Don... Downton is calling!"
The intelligence officer took two breaths and suddenly roared out. The nobles all shuddered, stopped, turned around with Huo Ran, and stared at the intelligence officer.
"What did you say?"
The finance minister rushed to the intelligence officer and grabbed him by the collar.
"Downton is coming. His army appears outside the city!"
"Go and inform the Duke!"
The finance minister pushed away the intelligence officer and was about to say a few words to boost morale and calm everyone down when a huge explosion came.
"he came!"
All the nobles in the conference hall turned pale in an instant!
When the steam airship bombarded the city gate and opened a gap for the cavalry to attack, the Ancient Spear also carried thousands of elites and descended from high altitude.
In order to avoid being observed by people in the city and to defend themselves in advance, the battleship flew at a very high position. After almost reaching the sky above the Duke's Palace, it began to descend rapidly.
Kevin took away the mage group, so there were only a dozen Judgment-level magicians in the Duke's Palace. Facing the landing battleship, they attacked, but the weak fire bullets could not even scratch the skin of the battleship.
This is the flagship of the Barbarian King Tower South. Although it is not a completely defensive body, without magic above the dragon-slaying level, there is no way to cause damage to it, and even a blow at the dragon-slaying level must be a volley to pose a threat.
"Firebird, kill them!"
Downton stood on the deck and pointed at the mages.
The first element emerged from behind Downton, fluttering its wings and flying down. When the mages saw this scene, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. Even the archers did not dare to shoot arrows, for fear of being attacked by the firebirds.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Xiao Hutao rode the bone dragon and flew down from the battleship. Almost instantly, the soldiers who saw it lost their will to fight.
When the two angels appeared next to Downton, some soldiers had already dropped their weapons and fled. Fighting with so many super beasts was simply a matter of death.
The battleship was still more than thirty meters above the ground, and the barbarians couldn't wait any longer. They climbed over the side of the ship, jumped off, and after landing in the Duke's Mansion, they began to spontaneously form small groups to drive away the target.
"McHale, your 150,000 army has been destroyed. Now it's your turn. Come out and die!"
Downton roared.
The soldiers who heard this were shocked, and noisy discussions instantly broke out.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you annihilate Kevin's army with just a few thousand of your men?" Mike coughed and walked out with the support of the trembling maid.
"Then what do you think this is?"
As Downton finished speaking, Quasimodo, who was standing next to him, raised a wooden stake several feet long, and Kevin's body was hanging on it.
Wow!
There was a lot of noise, and while the soldiers were panicking, they didn't notice that the nobles looked uneasy. They quietly left the Duke's Mansion and began to think about how to survive. The annihilation of Kevin's army meant that the situation in the south was about to change. The McHale family
, and it has since become history. (To be continued..)
