Under the illumination of two suns, one large and one small, the scorching flames of war were still boiling on the earth, and the shouts of killing that resounded throughout the world were like thunder rolling from the sky, almost deafening.
Under the smoke-filled gray stone city, a young male commander wearing black armor and holding a heavy bow shouted loudly: "Charge! Everything is for the lord!"
I saw this young commander with an excited look on his face, holding the long bow high in his hand. Every time he pulled the bowstring, at least three arrows shot out, causing the opposing archers on the towering city wall to scream and fall down.
Behind him, a group of well-equipped soldiers were also in high spirits. They raised their shields and braved the rain of arrows. They boarded the staircase-shaped earth fort temporarily built by the earth magicians and rushed up.
The walls of Greystone City.
This young commander is none other than Ryan, the leader of another independent knighthood under Lei Xiao, the Broken Blade Knights, and the soldiers around him are naturally the elite knights of the Broken Blade Knights.
The situation of Ryan's family is basically the same as that of the Tinatia sisters.
It was during the chaotic period of the Cold Flame Kingdom that the new nobles who rose up in power tried every means to take away their fiefdoms, and then became homeless and down-and-out nobles, and were even deprived of their title of nobles. And this gray rock city is exactly
The former fiefdom of the Lane family.
During the more than two hundred years since their fiefdom was taken away, Ryan's father and ancestors watched helplessly as the peaceful Gray Rock City was divided into two completely different worlds inside and outside the city.
Watching helplessly, the free farmers who had plenty of food and clothing were eventually reduced to serfs like livestock without any freedom... You must know that these are the folks who have been protected by their families for more than four hundred years.
They watched helplessly as their former subjects were constantly trampled by the violent and blood-sucking new nobles. However, as guardians, they were powerless. They had to surrender to the new nobles who had occupied this place and barely managed to maintain the knighthood.
.
This extremely angry but heartbreaking feeling of powerlessness has been passed down to Ryan like a gene engraved in his bones.
"And today, with the help of the lord, my Yangong family can finally take back everything that once belonged to us! I will dedicate all of this to the lord again!"
Thinking of this, Ryan took the lead and rushed up to the wall of Gray Rock City. He drew the heavy bow in his hand like a full moon and directly shot the astonished left-behind commander of Gray Rock City through the throat with an arrow.
As the commander fell to the ground, these leaderless Gray Rock City reserves were quickly defeated and began to scream and flee in large areas. Naturally, they were no match for Ryan and the knights because of their weak strength.
Not long after, the four walls of Gray Rock City were completely controlled by Ryan, and they began to advance towards the city lord's mansion in the center of the city.
During this process, more and more free farmers joined the Knights, and together they roared towards the hinterland of the city.
After two hundred years, the former guardian of this city finally stood together with his subjects again!
Under this overwhelming attack, Ryan quickly led his army to attack the city lord's palace in Gray Rock City and recaptured the city's lord's throne.
At this point, Gray Rock City finally dispelled the lingering thick haze and ushered in the bright sunshine.
Under the sunshine, a small seed called hope is taking root and sprouting in the heart of every free farmer.
Of course, under Lei Xiao's planning, the changes in the sphere of influence of this new aristocracy are far more than just that.
To the north of the new nobles' sphere of influence, the Golin City garrison led by Hod and Lisha, the lords of Golin City, and Rees divided into two groups and successively captured two small cities of the new nobles.
Another Goblin legion on standby in Luolong City has joined Hongshi and Benson's troops and is advancing toward the new noble forces from the east.
As for the Fanyin City garrison led by Orr, after annihilating Willy's rear army, they also began to advance from the south.
Under the internal and external blossoming of these three armies and the two independent knights, the 11 cities of the new aristocratic forces were completely separated from each other and no longer had any climate.
"Ryan, I'll leave Gray Rock City to you. Stabilize the city as soon as possible."
Not long after Tina sent the victory news, Lei Xiao also received a report from Ryan.
After turning off his words, Lei Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
So far, there are a total of 23 cities for the traditional aristocrats and the new aristocrats. He has controlled more than half of them, and the rest is undoubtedly a piece of cake on the chopping board.
"It looks like everything is going very smoothly."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
At this point, of the three troubles that I had previously summarized that needed to be solved urgently, only the last one was left, which was Stargazing City located on the Stargazing Corridor.
Only by capturing this fortress city that connects other cold flame regions as soon as possible can we completely block the possible arrival of reinforcements from the eldest prince and the second prince.
"Before this, the two most elite guard squadrons from Fenglong City and Shuiyue City had secretly sneaked into Wangxing City as internal agents, while those attacking the city from the outside were the Xiaoshen No. 9 Regiment led by Qin Qian.
A total of 6,000 lords’ strength.”
"Because the road out of the Songyin Mountains is relatively rugged, the march of Qin Qian and other lords' forces has been much slower. But depending on the time, they should be about to attack Wangxing City, right?"
"The importance of Wangxing City is self-evident, so I will go there myself."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao, who had just circled around the new nobles' sphere of influence, rushed towards Wangxing City together with the main subordinates beside him.
Of course, the method of traveling is still Jiang Li's space teleportation.
Although Jiang Li's space teleportation cannot directly teleport from one city to another, it is still more than three times the speed of Lei Xiao's previous travel, and it ignores all terrain factors, which is equivalent to allowing Lei Xiao to travel smoothly in this area.
No more obstacles.
While Lei Xiao was galloping towards Wangxing City, the lord force led by Qin Qian had arrived at the outskirts of Wangxing City in great force.
I saw this team composed of more than fifty lords of the Xiaoshen Regiment. The military formation was quite strict, and they were all equipped with shiny new second-level armor and second-level weapons given by Lei Xiao.
Under Qin Qian's arrangement, this team was also divided into six lord brigades according to the formal organization, and each brigade was divided into ten lord squadrons.
Among them, the captains are all held by the backbone lords of the Xiaoshen Regiment, and the deputy captains are held by elite subordinates with military experience.
Most of the squadron leaders are held by ordinary lords of the Xiaoshen Regiment, and a small number are held by elite subordinates.
All in all, after a period of intensive training, at least in appearance, this army of lords has become comparable to an ordinary city garrison.
"Sister, Captain Qin Qian, are you...are you nervous?"
At the front of the fast-moving lord team, there was a petite wind chime wearing a set of neat leather armor. Looking at the increasingly tall city wall in front of him, he couldn't help but swallowed and spoke in a low voice.
Feng Ling's fair face was full of nervousness, and he didn't even notice his uncoordinated movements.
You know, before time travel, I was just a dance anchor who had just graduated. Who would have thought that after time travel, I would actually be holding a sharp blade and standing on the bloody battlefield of life and death?
"It would be weird if I wasn't nervous."
Qin Qian, who was dressed in silver-white light armor, had a hint of panic on her delicate face, but she quickly returned to normal again.
As the leader of this team, she naturally knew clearly that she must not show a hint of cowardice.
Then, Qin Qian turned her head, smiled at the wind chime and said: "Don't worry, Xiaoshen boss has just sent a message, he is already on the way, and this is almost an empty city, and there is Xiaoshen boss in the city.
There is an ambush, we just need to wait for the ambush to open the city gate and follow the guidance to attack the city."
"Captain Qin Qian is right. The defenders here are just reserve forces that lack training and are poorly equipped. They are far inferior to us in terms of numbers and equipment."
The tall and thin Jiang Hao came up and echoed: "Brother Xiaoshen has helped us so much, it's time to let him see our role!"
However, even though Jiang Hao said he was very proud, judging from his trembling hands holding the sword, it was obvious that he was in a state of extreme nervousness.
As for the third-level one-handed ax that Lei Xiao gave to Jiang Hao before, Jiang Hao gave it to a second-level elite subordinate he recruited not long ago.
With the help of Lei Xiao, along with Qin Qian and Feng Ling, Jiang Hao, whose mansion has been upgraded to level 5, has recruited six second-level elite subordinates in succession, and Qin Qian and Feng Ling have done the same.
"Besides, we still have so many elite subordinates."
Having said this, Jiang Hao's nervous mood gradually eased, and he looked at the neatly formed subordinate team behind him.
I saw a few burly men at the front, all exuding quite impressive momentum. Each of them had reached the level of a second-level senior expert and looked extremely reliable.
"Lord, Lord Jiang is right."
Behind Qin Qian, a strong and sassy woman in heavy black armor bowed to Qin Qian and said: "With subordinates and others here, the lord will never be harmed at all!"
"Yes, yes!"
Next to the wind chime, a second-level female magician with the same petite stature also joined in. She patted her flat chest at the wind chime and said: "I will always protect the lord, my subordinate.
I also want to learn how to dance like the lord!"
After hearing the voices of their respective subordinates, Qin Qian and the other three relaxed a lot and focused their attention again on Wangxing City in front of them.
On top of the tall and thick city wall, the rows of archery towers are clearly visible. As the hunting flags flutter, the sharp blades in the hands of the enemy soldiers emit an icy cold light, looking full of murderous aura.
Looking up at this shocking scene, Qin Qian's red lips parted slightly, and her heart became involuntarily nervous again.
The city ahead is like a huge beast, making people's hearts tremble.
Without the help of Xiaoshen to strategize, she really couldn't figure out how to capture such an indestructible city.
"Remember that the Xiaoshen boss captured a city a long time ago, right? And he quickly wiped out another legion..."
I saw a complex look of admiration and awe appearing on Qin Qian's fair and delicate face, and she continued to marvel in her heart.
"Such murderous scenes are already commonplace for Mr. Xiaoshen, right? It's simply unimaginable how Mr. Xiaoshen got through this journey alone. It's really a bit confusing.
I feel bad..."
Sighing softly, Qin Qian's long eyelashes flickered and she thought of the private message Lei Xiao had just sent.
We can already know from the private message sent by Xiaoshen boss just now.
With his own strength, Xiaoshen Boss has almost annihilated all the huge hostile indigenous forces in this area, and has occupied most of the more than 30 major cities in this area... With such strength, there is no doubt that he can only use
To describe it as terrifying!
"It's really an honor to be able to meet such a big shot as Mr. Xiaoshen. If Mr. Xiaoshen hadn't helped me at that time, I might have been killed by that guy Lu Ling."
With gratitude in her heart, Qin Qian's fair face became firm again.
Just like what Jiang Hao said, since Big Brother Xiaoshen entrusted him with such an important task, he must go all out no matter what, not to let Big Brother Xiaoshen down!
Just when Qin Qian thought of this, a team of 6,000 lords had already arrived at Wangxing City.
Seeing the sudden army of strange lords, the defenders of Wangxing City, who had already been frightened, did not hesitate at all. The warning arrows fell like a sudden rain.
Immediately afterwards, dense footsteps sounded, and a large number of Wangxing City defenders with murderous looks on their faces climbed onto the city wall. More sharp blades and arrows were aimed at Qin Qian and others who were just outside the shooting range.
For a moment, a rather impressive killing intent suddenly filled the city wall.
Feeling the biting cold, there was a sudden commotion in the ranks of the lords' army. Except for Feng Chime and Jiang Hao, almost all the lords who served as commanders could not help but show fear on their faces.
Most of them were ordinary workers living in the city not long ago, leading a stable life. Who could have imagined that one day they would stand on the battlefield of blood and fire?! If you are not careful,
This can really cost you your life!
"Everyone, Xiaoshen Boss has already said that as long as we capture this place, he will set aside a city for us to manage and will help us develop as much as possible."
Noticing the fear of the other lords, Qin Qian's fair face was solemn and she said solemnly: "Now is our best opportunity to prove our worth to the Xiaoshen boss!"
"Brother Xiaoshen has captured more than 30 cities alone. Could it be that more than 50 of us together can't capture this precarious city?"
Speaking of this, Qin Qian looked at the other lords who were gradually calming down, pulled out the long sword from her waist, and ordered: "Line up and attack!"
