Time is undoubtedly a rule that no one or any creature can resist. It stretches a tiny point infinitely to an endless line. Everything is on this point, following its stretching, and becomes
A complete story. Every day has its own line segment on this line. This day may be wonderful or ordinary, but no matter what, their starting point is always just a small dot.
Sometimes, an inconspicuous point is everything.
When Aranza's thoughts merged from sleep into a new day, Hancock, who used to be cold and arrogant, had not yet woken up. She curled up in his arms like a weak kitten. For some reason, Aranza suddenly remembered a sentence
A famous saying spread on the Continent of Thorns, people always reveal their weakness inadvertently.
He did not wake her up, but carefully moved away, leaving Hancock with the large sofa. Aranza took out a robe from the Treasury Ring and put it on her body. The autumn chill was becoming more and more obvious, and even
Not even the walls of the house can withstand it, not even the heater in the house can dispel it.
This is destined to be an unpleasant autumn.
"Damn weather!"
In the joint camp outside Alice Fortress, the curtain of a spacious and luxurious tent was opened by a middle-aged man. He stepped out, glanced at the sky with two cloudy eyes on his deep-set eyebags, and cursed fiercely at the same time.
road.
"What Master Keyeru said is absolutely true."
Beside the middle-aged man, an aide immediately nodded and bowed in response. In fact, in this aide's opinion, the face of Mr. Keyeru, who had a strong background and held many positions at the same time, was obviously much gloomier than the weather. Of course,
, this idea will be kept in his heart honestly, because in this alliance led by the mercenary guild and composed of major mercenary groups and promoted knights, no one can say anything that Keyer says.
question.
Of course, except for a few old monsters living in a small tent not far away. Thinking of those old monsters, the officer seemed to have seen the victory of a battle that was about to begin, so he continued to attack Keyeru.
Flattery said: "But in the eyes of the guys at Alice Fortress, this kind of weather is as wonderful as the doomsday scene!"
Hearing this, although Keyeru did not continue to dwell on the topic of the weather, a smile appeared on his gloomy face, obviously he was very pleased with the flattery of this aide.
Keyer gave a few instructions and asked the attendant to leave. Before he could do so, the guard hurried back and brought the latest information, saying: "Master Keyer, as you expected, those in Alice Fortress
The reptiles still have no intention of compromising. The generals and soldiers are already ready. As long as you give the order, our army will surround Alice Fortress and can trample those reptiles under our feet at any time!"
Keyer said "Oh" carelessly, and then murmured as if to himself: "I heard that Hancock is a great beauty, I really want to taste her taste, haha, haha!"
The attendant quickly laughed apologetically. Everyone knew about Keyer's hobbies, but the attendant did not feel disgusted. Instead, he agreed with Keyer's words. After all, if he served Keyure well, the attendant could still pick up one or two quilts.
The woman who had had enough fun with Keyer was imprisoned in his room and slowly enjoyed herself.
Soon after, orders were issued from Keyeru's mouth, and were transmitted from the feet of this servant to the messengers in each camp. When the light of the cross of the double sun slightly dispelled the chill of autumn, within the designated time, several orders
An army of nearly ten thousand people composed of ten mercenary groups or knights set out from their respective camps, mixed into squares with different equipment, and spread out a few hundred meters away from the gate of Alice Fortress.
There is no doubt that Keyer, the representative sent by the mercenary guild, naturally stood in front of the army on horseback. The aide was still respectfully positioned behind him. On the left and right sides of Keyer, there were various mercenary groups or knights.
As for the other representatives sent by the mercenary guild to serve as foils, they are located in the second row, even behind Keyer's aide.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a knight next to Keyer turned his head slightly. He looked at Keyer with undisguised disgust and said, "Master Keyer, the army has been prepared and is waiting for your order."
Of course, before attacking Alice Fortress, I would mind if you give the Thorn Mercenary Group another chance. At least, send someone to the gate of the fortress to ask if the Thorn Mercenary Group is willing to accept the ultimatum."
Keyer glanced at this middle-aged man. His name is Marcel. He is the leader of the Frostheart Hunter Knights who was promoted from the mercenary group to the knighthood by the mercenary guild. He also has another identity here.
, that is, the deputy commander of the alliance, with power second only to Keyer.
Kayure didn't like Marcel, even disgusted him, because the way Marcel looked at him made him feel very uncomfortable. It was like an ignorant woman in some underground bar who saw that her customer was actually as thin and tall as Kayure.
The look in the eyes of an ugly man. Facing such women, Keyer will definitely use his most proud ability to make them die. But Marcel is a man, so when Keyer sees Marcel's eyes
At that time, the first thought was how to put Marcel to death.
The second idea is to find ways to embarrass Marcel.
Sure enough, Keyer immediately sneered at Marcel's concern and said, "If the Thorn Mercenary Group is planning to compromise, why wait until now? Or is it that Sir Marcel intends to leave a good impression on the beauties in Alice Fortress?
So that you can control them effortlessly when you capture them?"
Keyer's words immediately caused a burst of laughter. Although his words were a little rude, they were correct. The Thorns Mercenary Group had no intention of compromising, otherwise it would not have delayed this. In the eyes of others, the Thorns Mercenary Group
Since they are unwilling to compromise, they will either rise up immediately when they receive the ultimatum, or they will delay until the end of the ultimatum. The former shows that the Thorns Mercenary Group is confident, and the latter shows that the Thorns Mercenary Group is cowardly.
The latter gave the mercenary guild and the alliance of major mercenary groups or knights the confidence to break through Alice Fortress.
However, what even Keyer didn't know was that Marcel had met the leader of the Thorn Mercenary Group, Aranza Tulip.
It is difficult to determine the surname of Aranza. The Lane family has publicly eliminated Aranza, and the Tulip family has never expressed acceptance of Aranza. However, based on the recent relationship between Aranza and the Tulip family, most people still use the surname of Tulip.
Another part of Aranza's name.
As early as in Kay State, when Aranza swallowed up the city of Sophie, Marcel, as the leader of the mercenary group hired by the lord of Sophie City, met Aranza in the burned-down city lord's palace. When he saw
Come on, Aranza is an ambitious and cold man. The more he shows his cowardice, the more people are wary. Although, the recent shrinking of the Thorn Mercenary Group is not Aranza's original intention.
Facing the laughter around him, Marcel stopped talking and just sat quietly on the horse, staring closely at the tallest watchtower in Alice Fortress. There was no one on the tower except for the legendary fighter jet.
The crossbow lay there quietly, with the rays of the morning sun falling on it, and what was reflected was bursts of dazzling cold light.
Keyer, who was in a good mood, stretched out his hand to suppress the laughter of others, turned to Marcel and said: "How about your Excellency being the vanguard in this battle?"
Hearing this, Marcel's chest immediately surged with anger!
There are very few examples of the deputy commander taking the lead on the battlefield. This can only show that Keyer clearly wanted to kill him!
Even the leaders of other mercenary groups or knights who were laughing could not help but be stunned for a moment. Keyer's intention was too obvious. However, in the face of Keyer's provocation, Marcel just snorted coldly.
, he suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist, pointed it high at the sky, and shouted: "Frostheart Hunter Knights, prepare!"
"drink!"
A uniform shout immediately sounded behind him. The three hundred warriors of the Frostheart Hunter Knights were waiting in full formation, but their momentum reached its peak with just one roar!
It has to be said that under the leadership of Marcel, the overall quality of the Frostheart Hunter Knights is significantly higher than that of other knights, let alone the mercenary group.
Marcel didn't look at Keyer again. He rode out first and rushed towards the Alice Fortress opposite!
Behind him are three hundred knights in uniform black and red armor, silent and brave!
Without the support of war drums, the charge of the Frostheart Hunter Knights is still so unforgettable. Like a sharp sword, they penetrated from the dark alliance formation and stabbed straight towards the Alice Fortress on the opposite side!
However, even Aranza standing on the wall of Alice Fortress could see that this was a fatal charge. Not to mention the combat power of this knights, there was no movement from the catapults and ballistas on the opposite side.
, even the war drums were not sounded, indicating that the opponent had no formal plan to attack the city. The charge of this knight group was obviously forced by helplessness or internal disputes.
Aranza raised her hand slightly, and there was a sound of friction as the ballista moved under her feet. Crossbow arrows poked out from the holes in the city wall. Aranza didn't mind eating the piece of meat that was delivered to her door, and letting the other side watch it by the way.
Looking at the strength of the Thorn Mercenary Group, as long as he waved his hand down, a crossbow arrow would instantly kill the three hundred knights. Maybe some knights with good combat power could resist it, but it would only be another wave of crossbow arrows.
It's just a matter of.
Crossbows, there are countless such things in Aranza's Treasury Ring.
However, when he saw that among the three hundred charging knights, the leader's face was somewhat familiar, Aranza couldn't help but be stunned. He thought for a long time, so that the opponent's charge advanced another hundred meters before finally
Thinking of the name "Marcel", this is the leader of the mercenary group who was let go by him when he was in Sophie City.
However, at this distance, with the help of Hancock, who had already woken up and was standing beside him, Aranza, who had applied the advanced eagle eye technique, could clearly see Marcel's face, which was clearly a
Looks like he's about to die.
Aranza thought for a moment, and even let Marcel cross the optimal shooting distance of the crossbow. Suddenly, an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Aranza's lips and ordered: "Well, open the city gate!"
