Looking at the two city gates that were knocked open in the darkness, the magic and combat skills of Pierce poured in like a ray of hope. The man who led the rebels in the city believed that he had won the rebellion.
"Haha! Well done, my boy!"
The man let out a proud laugh. He reached out and took off the hood that obscured his face. His appearance was immediately exposed to the light of the surrounding torches - it was Peyton Redfield, the lord of Enkara City and Pierce's father.
.This cunning fox has been hiding in the private army from the beginning, sneaking into Noland City.
In an instant, the siege army of more than 2,300 people mixed with the rebels in the city of more than 6,000 people, forming a huge force of more than 8,000 people, rushing towards the west of Noland City.
military camp. Peyton Redfield is confident enough. In terms of the number of both sides, with an absolute advantage of eight to one, even if more than half of the members of the Norland Army are magicians, only
It just lets him touch the flag of victory later.
The end of this war seemed to have been decided, and Payton even thought that he did not need to imagine what would happen if he could not defeat the Norland Army.
Even the most cunning fox has some oversights.
Alanza has never overestimated his abilities, at least in terms of strategy, and he would not think that he could defeat a scheming fox. But this does not mean that Alanza has no way to defeat Peyton Redfield. In the human race of the thorn continent
In many war academies in the country, a very popular discussion topic is how to win in a game with a fox that is more cunning than you.
The answer is actually very simple. Create a game rule and let the fox indulge in your game rules. The strange thing is that the people who argue this answer are not those who retired from the real battlefield and were formerly respected generals in the War College.
The old professors are just a passing philosopher. This ironic result just proves that those who are limited to the game and deduce strategies from it will never see as far as those who create the rules of the game.
Aranza had a plan from the beginning. Payton wanted to play this game with him, but he was not sure of winning, so he changed the rules of the game.
When the ambitious Payton led the army to attack the Noland camp in the west of the city, Cyril's figure flickered between the buildings in the east of the city. She, who had been converted into a knight, had the rare opportunity to work part-time as a forest hunter, chasing a
The scout who fled in panic. If he brought the news to the rebels, the consequences would be disastrous.
The dagger Ju Mie exuded a long-lost cold light in her hand. When the scout who was crouched on the horse tried to control the horse to turn around the last bend, Ju Mie was like a hungry poisonous snake, coming from Cyril's
The hand shot out, drawing a silver line, accurately and quickly passing through the scout's neck.
The scout's body immediately fell off the horse. His wide eyes were full of despair. He probably also knew what his death would mean. He was the last scout heading to the east of the city. If he hadn't
When the news was brought to Payton's ears, he was surprised that Payton would never know what happened in the east of the city.
But Cyril's pursuit did not end. Her steps on the edge of the wall suddenly accelerated, and then suddenly exploded, leaping down with Cyril's body. The peacock sword was drawn out from her waist, and it was drawn out under the night.
The crescent-shaped light blade split the war horse's head in two. The horse's corpse rolled majestically to the ground and was dragged out for a long distance before it could stop.
After doing this, Cyril exhaled a long breath, but her body was still pressed against the wall, and her head carefully reached through the corner - fortunately, the huge rebel army did not notice the approaching street.
What happened? The last few formations were rushing towards the west of the city following the pace of the main group.
At this moment, behind Cyril, figures one after another walked out from the end of the street with silent footsteps. They were not riding horses, and it was obviously easier to hide their whereabouts on foot.
It's Aranza and others, as well as the entire Norland army.
Just as the adjutant who questioned Peyton guessed, Aranza would not be stupid enough to leave the Noland army in the Noland camp west of the city. In fact, after Laiatimo was urgently recalled to Noland City,
, Aranza quietly disguised the Norland Army soldiers as new recruits and moved them to a main road east of Norland City. As for what was in the Norland Army camp at the moment, Aranza believed that as a necromancer
Leatimo will definitely give Payton an unexpected surprise.
Aranza glanced at the scouts and horses lying on the ground, touched Cyril's hair affectionately, and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work... I didn't expect this guy to run so smartly."
"nothing."
Cyril responded calmly. She put away the bloody peacock and daylight, then turned and walked back to the team. Aranza turned to look at her back and said nothing more. He had already discovered that Cyril on the battlefield
Er and the usual Cyril are two completely different people - with different personalities and different eyes when they look at Aranza.
He sighed, reason told him that Cyril was clearly showing signs of dual personality, but he could do nothing about it. His eyes returned to the direction of the corner of the street, making sure that the rebels had completely disappeared on the opposite side.
In another corner, he headed west of the city. Aranza's eyes turned again and fell on the city gate not far away. Pierce, who was attacking the city, obviously did not have the same domineering way of attacking the city as Cyril. His ability was not enough to conquer the city.
The city gate was smashed into pieces, but only opened. However, looking at the tilt of the two city gates, Aranza thought that the city gate could not be closed until it was repaired.
"Well, let's go."
Aranza gestured behind him, then swaggered out of the corner and walked towards the city gate. Behind him, the soldiers of the Norland Army followed without saying a word.
When this army quietly left the city of Norland, on the other side, the rebels led by Payton finally broke into the camp of the Norland army.
This camp is close to the corner of the city wall of Noland City. The walls on both sides are built directly against the city wall. Outside the wall is a river that runs through the whole city. The river at this end passes through the bottom of the city wall and merges into the moat. There are more than ten solid lines.
The iron fence blocks the intersection of the rivers to prevent aquatic monsters in the moat from mixing into the rivers in the city. Of course, it also prevents interested people from entering Norland City through this gap.
To break into this military camp, the only entrance was a stone bridge across the river. In order to delay, Aranza destroyed the stone bridge when he left. At this moment, Payton's men could only gather on the east side of the river.
, shooting against the archers on the wall of the military camp.
There was no lighting on the opposite side. In the darkness, Payton could not judge how many archers there were on the opposite side. However, based on the size of each wave of arrow rain on the opposite side, Payton judged that there were only more than fifty archers on the opposite side. This number was
In front of his team of more than 8,000 people, there is really no comparison.
As a result, as soon as Payton waved his hand, hundreds of archers unloaded their arrows, and a wave of arrows rushed toward the Norland Army camp with a mighty sound. This was because the space by the river could only accommodate less than two thousand people.
More archers and warriors stayed on the street beside them, otherwise, the rain of arrows suffered by the Noland military camp could be described as a heavy rain.
However, after this wave of arrows fell, the opponent was still able to retaliate. What made Payton even more crazy was that the scale of the retaliatory arrows was the same as before, still around fifty archers!
"Damn it!"
Payton had a gloomy face and cursed secretly. The protective shield blessed by the magician lit up a little bit, helping him block the threat of arrows. However, the soldiers behind him did not have such protection, and the crowded space even made them
It was difficult to escape, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers were injured or killed.
The adjutant wearing golden armor next to Payton still persevered in ordering the archers to fight back. Payton's expression at this moment was not as clear as before - suddenly, he had an ominous premonition that the size of the enemy force on the other side had not reduced in size.
The rain of arrows made him feel weird, but he had no room to feel ominous, and he had no intention of guessing the source of this weirdness. He knew very well that he had no way out, and his only choice now was to defeat the Norland army by any means necessary!
"Don't worry, father!"
Pierce seemed to have discovered something unusual about Payton. He in turn comforted his father and said, "Look, the magician's earth bridge is about to be built. No matter how many archers he has, we will just kill him!"
Hearing this, Payton nodded, and his inexplicable anxiety eased a lot. However, he did not realize that he had now reached a consensus with his mindless son.
After several more exchanges of shooting, there were dozens more incapacitated warriors among the rebels, but the size of the bows and arrows on the opposite side still did not decrease at all. Although only more than fifty arrows fell towards the river each time, the number of arrows on the opposite side was still high.
Looking up, the rebels seemed to have suffered much more losses than their opponents in the military camp. Fortunately, at this time, several sweating magicians finally completed a large earth bridge with the staffs in their hands.
Across rivers.
"Haha! Come on, kill them all!"
Payton finally turned the anxiety suppressed in his heart into an excited roar. He raised the long sword in his hand and took the lead, leading a group of soldiers to rush across the earth bridge and rush towards the Noland military camp hidden in the darkness!
However, when he crossed the earth bridge and followed the light of the torch to find the intersection of Noland Military Camp, he saw a thin figure breaking into the orange firelight.
Its steps are graceful and graceful, and the slender sword in its hand is like the elegant flute in the hand of a musician.
But its true appearance is ferocious and twisted. It is a skeleton covered in pitch black—the Black Knight!
This black knight wears metal armor specially made for skeletons, protecting every joint. The cloak behind him is the only relic of his life. The clear mark on the cloak proves that his identity during his lifetime was that of the city lord of Sophie City.
