Above the sky, two suns embrace each other fiercely and tenderly. The blended part is filled with the brightness of the moon, while the two sides are still hot flames. On top of it is a pitch-black lining. This is the autumn of the Thorny Continent, orange.
The sunlight is mixed with the pale yellow of the moon, hitting the clouds on the horizon, making the cloud threads rotate in circles to create a peaceful atmosphere.
The team wearing crimson armor walked slowly along the road. Ahead, the city wall of Rios fell into view. Outside the protection of this city wall, there were handicraft workshops built by local nobles.
These gold mining cellars, which have always been working day and night, are now like cowards huddled in the corner, holding their breath and not daring to make a sound.
As the team continued to shorten the distance at a gentle pace, they finally had a panoramic view of the city of Rios. This is an ordinary city, and you can vaguely see the ordinary urban layout composed of various roofs. On one side is the magnificent city.
The aristocratic district, on one side is an ordinary residential area, and in a dark corner is a slum cellar that looks like a garbage dump.
Its city wall has no highlights worth mentioning. There is a moat under the wall that is neither deep nor shallow nor spacious enough, and a city gate in the center that is not thick enough but not too thin either. However, at this time, a wall made of water has been laid down in front of the city gate.
An iron gate made of crisscrossed metal plates. When the soldiers were about to look away, they saw groups of archers walking up the city wall. The light of torches shone little by little from both sides of the top of the city gate.
It spread out along the wall and filled it up in an instant.
The Ferrag Legion is waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
At the front of the team, Aranza was riding safely on horseback. He looked at the city wall of Rios with a slightly pondering gaze for a moment, then turned to Longstader beside him and said tentatively: "Well, the opponent is a whole city.
Guardsman, do you know anything about it?"
"Know a thing or two."
Lundstedt did not turn his head, his eyes still fell on the city wall not far away. His voice was like a heavy sleep, without a trace of emotion mixed in it.
On the contrary, Caton, who was behind Ronstadt, heard Aranza's words, flapped his horse with his feet to speed up, and said together: "The defenders of Rios City, the Ferrag Legion, the swordsman battalion of two hundred people, the bows and arrows.
There are two hundred men in the hand camp and two hundred men in the knight camp. Carol Ferrag is also a militant guy. His cavalry units are the same as ours, only heavy cavalry."
Since witnessing Aranza's miraculous victory in the gap between the mountains, Caton has become much more enthusiastic towards Aranza.
Aranza nodded and said thoughtfully: "Well, they have two more arms than us."
Then, he turned the conversation to the silent Longstader and said, "Sir, are you sure?"
Unexpectedly, after a brief pause, Longstader actually shook his head.
This is not because he is not confident enough, it is a fact.
Aranza knew this very well, so he was not surprised at all by Ronstadt's reaction, and even felt that it should be the case. Even though Aranza fanned the flames, the other leaders of the mercenary group did not respond to Ronstadt's reaction.
They decided to express their dissent, but they would never provide their personnel support to Longstader. After all, being able to become the leader of a large-scale mercenary group also has some opinions. In the Dawn Guard alliance,
Their first priority is still to prevent the Awakened from invading the territory of Sarah Falco State.
Neither he nor Ronstadter continued to speak, but quietly led the team to move forward.
Soon, the city wall of Rios was hundreds of meters away.
Ronstadt waved the team to stop, and next to two handicraft workshops, he dismounted and sorted out and checked the equipment. After walking over, he entered the shooting range of the archers of the Felag Army. And Ronstadt was here.
He encouraged the stone-skinned earth dragon to run towards the city wall. Behind him were two knights. The two knights held reins in their hands, but one end of the rope tied a person's hands and feet and dragged him to the ground.
Running. This man was the old archer who betrayed the Dawn Guard. At this time, he was covered in dried blood clots and was unconscious due to being dragged along.
Aranza thought for a moment, and then also mobilized his horse to follow them.
A few people walked all the way to the closed suspension bridge at the city gate and by the moat. Ronstadt stopped the Stoneskin Earthworm, looked up at the top of the city wall, and shouted: "Carol Ferrag, you give me
Get out!"
The evil attitude in this sentence made the archers on the city wall whisper to each other for a while, and then some people even opened their mouths to scold Longstader. But he ignored these clowns at all.
Carrying a pitch-black two-handed sword on his back, it shone coldly in the dusk light. His gaze remained fixed on the center of the city wall, motionless.
A moment later, the lord of Rios City and the commander of the Ferrag Legion, Carol Ferrag, appeared on the city wall where Ronstadt focused his attention.
This is a middle-aged man with a gloomy face. If his son, Butch Ferrag, with the same gloomy face, gives people the feeling of disgust, then the feeling he brings to people is vigilance. Just like
A mad dog that bites people suddenly has the cunningness of a fox.
"Longstedt!"
Carol, who was standing high on the city wall, was the first to let out an angry shout when he saw Lundstedt. His gloomy eyes showed no fear at all, meeting the anger that had been quietly arousing in Lundstedt's eyes.
"Look what I brought you?"
Ronstadt sneered, and the rebellious old archer was dragged up by two knights and knelt on the ground. He was almost unconscious. If the two knights hadn't stepped on his shoulders with their feet, he might have died.
He fell headlong into the moat.
"Is it you...?"
Although the face of the old attacker was covered with dust and blood, Carol still recognized the betrayer who had been bribed by him. Suddenly, Carol seemed to have guessed something, and his voice immediately became sharp.
, shouted towards Longstader at the bottom of the city: "Where is my son Butch?! Hand him over to me!"
"You actually don't know?"
Seeing Carol's reaction, Longstader immediately raised his head and laughed. He suddenly opened his arms, looking extremely arrogant, and felt quite happy in his heart, saying: "Your dog son has long become food for monsters!
Ha ha ha ha!"
Hearing this, Carol's face froze for a moment at first, and then immediately turned ferocious. The intertwined facial lines even distorted his facial features. Carol had a lot of troubles in his life, but he was not very capable. He was over fifty.
There is still only Butch a son, so his love for Butch is naturally self-evident. Ronstadt's words undoubtedly prove Butch's bad news, which Carol absolutely cannot accept!
He screamed like crazy and cursed at Lundstedt: "Lungstedt! Me! I will cut you into pieces!"
Then, Carroll suddenly waved his arm, and even the commander on the side did not react. After a while, he hurriedly shouted: "Archers, prepare!"
In an instant, the only sound left in the air was the sound of the bow being drawn!
The cold light on the arrows all pointed at Longstader!
"snort!"
This rational but impulsive middle-aged man showed no fear at all. He pulled out the two-handed sword from behind his back, looked at the ferocious-looking Carroll on the city wall indifferently, and said, "Just give it a try!"
"Fire the arrow!"
The bailiff next to Carroll shouted immediately.
In an instant, countless arrows shot towards the open door, rushing towards Longstader's position with the sound of wind!
Aranza's hand moved, but in the end he had no intention of helping. He noticed that the two knights also did not step forward to help Longstader, but quickly retreated to avoid the coverage of the arrow rain, indicating that they believed that their
The leader was able to block the rain of arrows. In this case, Aranza would not be troubled. As for the betrayed old archer, he was pushed into the moat by a knight and became food for the fish monsters that were stocked in the moat.
.Whether it is for the Crimson Knights or the Ferrag Legion, his use value has been exhausted.
Sure enough, when the arrow that bore the brunt of the rain of arrows was only a short distance away from Longstead, Longstead suddenly let out a loud roar, jumped down from the back of the stone-skinned earth dragon, and slammed the sword with both hands on the ground.
, with a bang, a thick stone wall was smashed out!
This is a defensive combat skill with earth attributes, but those huge rain of arrows crackled into the stone wall and had no effect on Longstader at all.
However, the commander next to Carroll saw the loopholes in the stone wall, so he loudly ordered the archers on both sides again: "Archers, throw high, prepare!"
If the arrows attack from top to bottom, then Longstead's stone wall is simply a dispensable defensive move!
The archers also thought of this and drew their bows one after another, their targets still focused on Longstader.
At this time, it was Carroll who waved his hand to signal the archers to stop.
It's not that he let Longstaed go, but that he knows Longstaed too well. Since the opponent dares to stand like this, he is naturally confident. After all, the reserve of arrows is limited and cannot be consumed in such a concentrated manner. Carol enters
Taking a step forward, his body was almost completely pressed against the stone railing of the city wall. He leaned down and stuck his face out of the city wall, making his ferocious face closer to Lundstedt. Although it was still the distance from the bottom of the wall to the top of the wall. His
His voice was full of hatred, and he said: "Send out all your warriors and let me see how long the Crimson Knights can last!"
"Until I cut off your head."
Longstaeder replied coldly, but no longer held a stalemate. He climbed onto the back of the earth dragon's neck again, stretched out his hand to pull the reins around its neck, and the giant beast turned around, leading Longstaeder slowly outward.
He walked slowly away. Followed by two knights, while Aranza, who had been watching silently, stayed at the end. With him around, Ronstadt would not worry about Carol suddenly shooting a cold arrow in the back.
