The reinforcements transferred from Sophie City did not have much effect.
Aranza drew an elite team of 200 people from the Norland army and went into battle in person, taking Cyril and Ilita with her. Although the power of the sanctuary will attract some unnecessary and even dangerous attention, it is important to grasp the balance.
, they can still use the power of the sanctuary to facilitate some things.
For example, Hancock easily broke the chain of the suspension bridge at the gate of Noland City with a few spells, and lowered the suspension bridge amidst the screams of the rebels. Then a golden magic ball came from her fingertips.
Flying out, the seemingly solid iron bars in front of the city gate instantly curled up like grass in winter, and the metal that was burned red by the golden flames kept dripping hot liquid.
In this way, Aranza took his army and launched the first tentative attack on the army of Noland City.
The white-haired boy stopped using the power of rules and returned to the peak of senior warriors. Together with Cyril and Ilita, the three senior warriors started fighting towards the rebel camp. With the advantage of equipment, this Nuo
The Rand Army team once rushed to the central square of Noland City and fought with the rebels for a full hour. However, no matter how hard Aranza tried, they would not be able to go deeper if they did not activate the power of the sanctuary.
It's okay for Cyril and Ilita, but the two hundred Norlander soldiers behind them are exhausted. Let alone advancing among the dense enemy troops, it is extremely difficult to hold the current front. If Aranza opens
If the power of the Holy Domain insists on continuing to penetrate deep into the enemy's territory, then he will probably get the consequence that while he captures the city lord's palace, the two hundred people he brought will no longer be able to return to the camp outside the city alive.
In the end, Aranza could only grit his teeth and give the order to retreat - before turning back to break through the siege of the rebels, his eyes passed over the city lord's palace not far away. The leader of the rebels, Payton Redfield, was standing unscrupulously in front of the city lord.
On the central balcony on the second floor of the mansion, his face was a very common one. He smiled heartily after defending the enemy's attack. In Aranza's view, it was an unspeakable irony towards him, which made him feel a lump in his chest.
The burning anger could never be poured out.
"Damn it!"
The Noland army retreated outside the city. At this time, there was no suspension bridge or iron fence to blockade the two sides. The attack caused Aranza to lose more than 20 soldiers. Half of their corpses were brought back. When the soldiers
When they laid their dead comrades on the desolate winter land and conveyed their sorrow to Aranza from the soul point, Aranza could only silently rearrange the defensive line, and then walked back to the main house with Cyril and Elita.
tent.
Old Follett and others are already waiting here.
"Well, it failed."
Aranza grabbed the water glass on the table and poured it into his mouth. The coldness sliding down his throat made him sober. He wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand stained with the enemy's blood and said: "There are too many of them."
Even if our entire army attacks, we can only be slowly consumed by them!"
"One more thing."
Ilita narrowed her eyes and added: "When we retreated, I found some crossbows placed in the open space near the city wall... The new soldiers who stayed in the city still gave these rebels some use, so why don't we do something quickly?
, when the opponent uses heavy crossbows, our defense line will not be as strong as before."
Aranza was stunned for a moment, then thought about it for a moment, and indeed remembered that when they were retreating, they saw groups of new soldiers moving in groups of twos and threes carrying bundles of crossbow arrows.
"I stuck to my plan of trapping the rebels until they had to try to break out."
It was Old Follett who spoke, his expression already a little gloomy, and he said: "As for these crossbows, if we change the formation, I think we can still defend them."
"That will cost a lot of money, right?"
Hancock sneered. She was sitting on the specially prepared animal skin sofa. Hancock's life has always been luxurious, and everything in food, clothing, housing and transportation is like that of a noble family. If it were anyone else, I am afraid that he would not be able to bear such trouble.
Fortunately, Aranza had the support of a treasury ring, so she seemed to be able to do it with ease. The arrogant female pirate cast a contemptuous smile at La Follette and said: "Old guy, the rebels are not as stupid as you think. We
How many heavy crossbow attacks can your army withstand? How will you stop them when they break through after they have almost exhausted us?"
"Enough!"
Aranza interrupted them, turned her eyes, and landed on Kim Gates, who was rushing back from Sophie City, and said: "Fat man, what do you think?"
"I……"
Kim Gates had expected that Aranza would ask about him. In fact, Aranza would specially transfer him back just to let him make the final decision.
When the fat man stepped off the airship, Aranza who greeted him whispered to him: "Many people think that you are a puppet arranged by me, but I want to tell you that when you carried out the recruitment task I issued, I have already put you
Become my decision-maker.”
He did not use the usual word "ma" as the beginning of this sentence.
Kim Gates turned his eyes around the military camp and glanced at the familiar faces. In a sense, the people here were the core of Aranza's camp, and the fat man's opinion at this time was probably unknown to Aranza.
The fate of Aranza, and the fate of these people. The fat man's eyes stayed on old Follett for a little longer. Old Follett's thoughts were the most stable person at present, but he was also the person farthest from the core of Aranza.
After a slight hesitation, Kim Gates said: "I think the only advantage of the Norland Army is its sophisticated equipment, but this advantage can only be demonstrated on the battlefield with equal numbers... And what we have so far
The right enemies and characters are all superior to us. We still won the victory because of the sacred power of the leader, Mr. Hancock, and Mr. Karu. If we abandon this power and use it, with all due respect, I will not
Thinking we can defeat an enemy who outnumbers us."
He took a deep breath and continued: "So, no matter how we mobilize the Norland army, if we never use the power of the Holy Domain, we will not be able to defeat the rebels. In this way, the choice before us is,
It’s not about how to defeat the rebels, but... either use the power of the Holy Domain to clear out the rebels, or give up the city of Noland... and abandoning the city of Noland is undoubtedly equivalent to giving up the Kaye State."
His words caused everyone to think deeply.
"Well, it's impossible for us to give up on Kay State." Aranza replied decisively. To him, this land was more than just a vast territory.
"Yes, because the Alice Fortress is here," Kim Gates explained for Aranza, "If we abandon Norland City, the rebels will either pursue the victory and surround the Alice Fortress, and then we can only use the Sanctuary
What's the difference between using the power of the Holy Domain to break through and overturn the situation now, and there will be more variables then; and even if the rebels don't encircle and suppress us, we won't be able to develop in Kay State."
"so……"
In fact, the answer is already obvious.
"So, my point of view is that the regiment leader and Mr. Hancock should take action to eliminate the rebels directly!" Kim Gates said word by word, his voice already feeling impassioned: "This
It is the best choice at present. Although using the power of the Holy Domain to carry out massacres again and again will cause attacks from some big families and even make the people have some prejudice against us. But by that time, we will already be sitting in Kay State, and...
The strength of the Sanctuary of Mr. Kalu and Mr. Chenxi is just speculation in the outside world and has not yet been confirmed. By then, we can give the invading Sanctuary strongman a surprise!"
The problem that had been troubling Aranza and others was solved in Kim Gates' words.
Aranza stood up and patted the fat man on the shoulder. The smile on his face was actually a hint of relief.
Using the power of the sanctuary was something Aranza had long thought about, but he had been hesitant after a decision-making mistake. Now, letting Kim Gates make the final decision for him was undoubtedly the best result.
As time goes by, the cold wind in winter becomes more and more sharp.
There was no warning for this massacre.
At dusk that day, Aranza and Hancock walked into the city of Norland. It was like two hot sharp knives piercing a huge piece of cheese. No matter how big the cheese is, it can only be harvested.
A part of the rebels led by the adjutant launched a "bloody battle" with Aranza and Hancock on the main road behind the city gate. This bloody battle was only against the rebels who lost their lives in resistance, not against Aranza and Hancock.
Blood, flesh, and the wailing of the enemy became the main theme of this moment. There was a small interlude, that is, Aranza planned to conquer this heroic adjutant, but the other party gave Aranza the answer with an upright knight's charge, so,
With a sigh, Aranza used the Silent Blade in his hand to end the opponent's life.
There was still no suspense in the ensuing battle. The two men continued to dig deeper while stepping on the enemy's bones. Pierce gathered all the power at his disposal and collided with the two men in the central square of Norland City. But at this time, Aranza and Hancock
After the previous killing, Hancock obviously lost the interest in killing. Under the protection of Aranza, Hancock muttered a spell and used a large-scale killing magic to rush into the rebel formation, and then slowly but efficiently harvested them one by one.
Pierce died in the battle. He raised the knight's spear in his hand, shouted "Long live Redfield", and with the magician's desperate blessing, he rushed towards Aranza with flashes of light.
Then Pierce used all his strength to strike, but only hit a shadow of Aranza. His true body appeared behind Pierce, and the Silent Blade lightly made a trace, ending the young man's life.
Apparently, Pierce's father, Peyton Redfield, had abandoned his useless son.
When night fell, the battle came to an end. No one was willing to count the number of enemies killed in the blood and flesh. They only knew that there were only more than 500 rebels who surrendered. Many more people were shot before they could surrender.
Group damage combat skills, or large-scale magic to take away lives.
The residents of Noland City were issued a no-door order. Before the Noland Army completely cleared the battlefield, all residents must stay in their homes. But occasionally, you can see a few young figures secretly opening the windows. From these
In the child's eyes, Aranza knew that he had changed something.
Later, the army discovered the tunnel dug by Payton in a small building on the edge of the city wall. This tunnel had been opened, and the leader of the rebels, Payton Redfield, had already escaped through this tunnel. Aranza just sent
A small team gave chase and no longer cared about the cunning fox.
For Aranza, he chased away a fox, but attracted a pack of hungry wolves. Winter did not really come until this moment.
