The melody of war is like a symphony that gradually gets higher and higher. When the audience's will follows the rhythm to the extreme, any sudden changes will appear abrupt and destroy the atmosphere. Therefore, such things are strictly prohibited by the audience. At least.
When the reverberation of swords and blood arrived at the city gate of Sophie City, any action taken by the defenders of Sophie City seemed like they were trying to make amends. And the Norland Army would not give the defenders of Sophie City another chance to breathe.
Yameyani's decoy plan caused the defenders of Sophie City to inadvertently give up the best opportunity to attack the Norland Army Knights. The heavy crossbow on the city wall was not a fixed ballistae. It actually had no so-called blind spot, but it was previously a fake decoy
In the blind spot, in order for the Norland Army Knights to step into the trap accurately, the heavy crossbows wasted their firepower in driving the Norland Army Knights into the trap. But when the Norland Army Knights unexpectedly avoided
When opening the trap, Heavy Crossbow's hurried focus of fire yielded some success, but in the end he missed the best opportunity and the results were always unsatisfactory.
The same thing often has different meanings in the eyes of different people. In the eyes of Aranza and Kim Gates, the defenders of Sophie City may be more like a desperate struggle. Yameyani failed a trick, but did not
Either she is well prepared for the next trick, or she is not prepared for the fallback at all.
For some reason, Aranza suddenly remembered a famous ancient elf proverb from the Continent of Thorns: "Confidence dies from pride."
When a person flaunts his talent, even the wisdom of using intrigues, as capital that can put others under his feet, this person has often already stood at the feet of others.
When the knights crossed freely several times, knocking down all the standing militiamen, quickly reorganized their formation, and once again put a sprint distance away from the retracted suspension bridge in Sophie City, the meaning of the opponent's death struggle became even stronger. Su
The crossbow arrows of the defenders of Sophie City were still struggling to cut through the air, but their effectiveness was getting lower and lower. Without the obstruction of the militia, the knights were able to dodge the crossbow arrows effortlessly. The last time there was a wave of crossbow shots on the walls of Sophie City
It can knock down three to four heavy knights, but it is too weak to kill even one heavy knight this time.
From the perspective of Elita, who was leading the charge, the next charge could be brought to an end early by this knightly team with excellent combat capabilities.
The few sprints just now made the blue cloth of her armor mixed with large areas of bright red, without her blood. In the dark night, the unclear sight made the armor on Elita's body like a static yet boiling flame, and
A harsh and heart-wrenching color burns in people's eyes.
However, her face always maintained the dignity and solemnity of a knight. This made Yameyani on the city wall very crazy. He even exposed the magician's position and hit her with low-level fireballs.
However, the magic element was easily broken by Ilita with a sword, and she took out the bow and arrow from the saddle to kill the magician. Although Ilita's riding and shooting skills were not superb, it was not difficult to hit the target at such a short distance.
At this time, Ilita, who was completely integrated into the battle, took some time off, looked around, and finally found Cyril, who was slowly walking towards her.
Her war horse had been pierced through the head by a roaring crossbow arrow earlier, but even without the mount, Cyril's good physical fitness still allowed Cyril to cross the battlefield at a high speed. The flowing artifact armor had long been covered with the enemy's blood.
These extraordinary quality equipment have their own spirituality, which means that the blood left by this massacre will be absorbed by this armor, making it more cold and cruel, and can no longer be washed away.
In the dense darkness, Ilita couldn't see Cyril's expression clearly for a moment.
I saw her casually shaking off the blood beads on her long sword "Peacock" and saying in a faint voice: "Give me a horse."
The sound of heavy crossbows being loaded sounded again on the city wall.
Elita immediately realized that she had no time to be surprised. She replied: "There are indeed more horses."
Then, the girl, who was like a streak of black fire mixed with the red flames of war, made a few simple gestures to the team behind her, and a knight came up leading a horse that had lost its owner, and handed the horse's rope into Cyril's hands.
When she stepped on her back, it was like a flower touching the soil, but what bloomed was a cold edge.
After Cyril checked the equipment calmly, Ilita continued: "The other side is going to fire crossbows again. You lead the team in a circle on the battlefield, increase the speed to the highest level, and I will open the city gate.
"
However, Cyril shook his head.
She first looked back at the rear. In the camp surrounded by dozens of airships, a high platform showed a vague outline in the dark night. There were several vague black figures on it, perhaps Aranza and others. Then, she
Only then did his eyes fall on the city gate opposite.
There was no emotion in Cyril's voice at all. If Aranza were present, she would probably be surprised to have such a calm soul. She said quietly: "I'll go."
It seemed like a simple decision was made about a simple thing.
Before Ilita could agree, Cyril had already galloped out on horseback towards the suspension bridge that clung to the city gate.
"Cyrillic!"
Ilita tried to call her, but the other party didn't hear her voice at all, and the pace of the war horse was a little faster. Ilita could only say to herself silently: "Don't forget what I once told you..."
She found that the killing had confused Cyril's eyes.
In the era of war, there were not many people who raised butcher knives, but each of them had reasons or excuses, whether they killed justly to stop killing, or killed for ambition with evil intentions. In any case, as long as they find someone who can comfort themselves.
Excuses will prevent thoughts from being distorted. And pure killing is the last thing that should happen.
It will wipe out the last trace of blood in the heart, and by then, killing will have no meaning.
On the high platform in the Noland military camp, Aranza watched a figure that left the team and rushed towards the city gate and the team that began to accelerate to one side. He frowned and recognized the figure that left the team as Cyril. It seemed that... in his
When he found her figure again from the chaos, she suddenly became a little stranger. So, Aranza also whispered to herself at this time: "Well, it seems that something is missing..."
Kim Gates on the side did not understand what Aranza meant. In his opinion, this attack went very smoothly. It would be a little difficult to find any shortcomings. The fat man racked his brains for a long time and suddenly remembered something.
, then said: "Oh! If we bribe some people in Sophie City's garrison in advance, maybe their door will be broken."
Aranza couldn't help but cast a contemptuous look at Kim Gates who was ruining the atmosphere, but she felt much better and said with a smile: "Ha, well, you can try it next time when we attack the city."
At this time, Cyril was not far from the moat.
The opponent's crossbow arrows did not indulge Cyril's provocation, but a set of artifact armor revealed its terrifying power at this moment. The crossbow arrows that hit Cyril with the "Fortress" enchantment order were like eggs hitting a stone and had no actual effect.
, and with the help of the "Yan" enchantment, the horse under Cyril's crotch did not feel any weight at all, and its running speed increased to its highest point halfway.
During this period, the concentrated attack of numerous crossbows on Cyril actually reduced the pressure on the Cavaliers. They also completed U-turns and accelerations and ran towards the city gate. The best result was that before the Cavaliers arrived at the city gate
, Cyril broke through it, so that the knights could use perfect speed to increase their combat power to the best, and then trample the troops that might appear behind the city gate, completely crippling the morale of Sophie City's defenders.
Ilita taught Cyril a lot of techniques for single soldiers to tear down moats and breach city gates. Knights are different from other warriors, especially heavy knights like Ilita and Cyril. Other professions may wait until the holy realm level.
It is no exaggeration to say that a senior heavy knight can be regarded as a
A mobile humanoid siege engine.
Of course, apart from the cost of training a high-level heavy knight, the cost of purchasing a sophisticated siege equipment is not even the tip of the iceberg of the cost of training a high-level heavy knight.
The heavy knight is a profession that relies heavily on equipment. Ilita's equipment is not only gorgeous in appearance, but its internal performance is probably inferior to that of artifact equipment. Even the line of mercenary kings in the Lane family only have descendants of pure blood.
Elita Lane is treated like this.
As for Cyril, luck plays a bigger part. Although Aranza, who owns the Ring of the Treasury, does not care about the expense of training Cyril, she was the first to be appreciated by Xinknar, the God of the Sea, and received a set of artifacts.
level of heavy armor. As for combat skills, Ilita, who has abundant resources, also gave Cyril a lot of help.
These external factors allowed Cyril to enjoy treatment that surpassed all nobles in cultivating combat power, but she was not a flower in the hothouse.
She took off the battle shield on the saddle and held it in front of her. Then, rays of light derived from combat skills lit up around her body.
The "siege shield" and "body of the god of war" exclusive to the heavy knight, as well as the combat skill common to the berserker, "the power of the bull". In an instant, Cyril actually blessed himself with three buffing combat skills!
In the dark night, a bright spot of light suddenly appeared, and she captured everyone's attention, with both expectation and horror.
"No! It's a heavy knight! She is actually a heavy knight!"
It wasn't until she saw Cyril using combat skills that Yameyani was shocked to discover Cyril's profession.
The light spot suddenly jumped up in front of the moat, and the war horse under her crotch was thrown away like a weightless stone. In the blink of an eye, it hit the moat hard, causing a violent splash, but the figure on the horse was already above the splash.
, the light point dragged out an extremely beautiful trail in mid-air, but it crashed straight into the closed suspension bridge!
"Bang!"
What followed was a deafening crash!
The heavy suspension bridge was smashed to pieces by Cyril! The iron bars behind the suspension bridge were also completely twisted under the impact, and the equally heavy city gate collapsed. Many people were injured by the blown iron bars and flying wood chips.
Guardsmen behind the door.
She actually... broke through the city gate of Sophie City by herself. No, strictly speaking, when she saw the dilapidated suspension bridge and city gate at the end of her sight, Aranza could only use the word "destroy" to describe it.
Cyril's masterpiece. Compared with Carew's trickery of removing the iron chains of the suspension bridge, Cyril's siege method fully meets the definition of "siege equipment".
But her figure standing under the city entrance suddenly felt extremely lonely. Cyril raised the hand holding the shield with difficulty, and the shield on it had already been twisted into a wrinkled iron face under the load. She seemed to want to squeeze something on her face.
He smiled happily, but his eyes turned black, which was actually a sign that the last bit of energy in his body was drained out by several combat techniques.
At this moment, the following knights jumped over the moat and rushed into the unprotected Sophie City with full momentum. Ilita, who was leading the army, immediately discovered the crumbling Cyril and killed her before she fell.
He pulled up the horse's back.
Only then did Aranza, who was watching the battle from a distance, take a breath. He turned around and walked off the high platform, slowly walking towards Sophie City. This city seemed to be still struggling when Cyril broke through its city gate.
