At this time, the size of the Norland City army exceeded one thousand, with more than 500 infantry soldiers and more than 300 light cavalry. The selection criteria for heavy cavalry were increased to only more than 100, and the remaining were more than ten logistics personnel.
.Such an army theoretically has a few mages, but perhaps because Kaiyi State is poorer than other states, Karu did not meet a single mage along the way. Instead, he picked up the magicians who had surrendered from the Izeyo family.
Up.
Among the thousands of people, only ten were selected into the Thorn Fortress to become the reserve pilots of the war magic machine. Although the nominal leader of these thousands of people is Kim Gates, almost even the logistics aunt knows that their real master comes from
Thorn Mercenary Group.
Kalu's combat power level has been raised to level seven, and Aranza has also reached level eight. However, in a real fight, Aranza is not sure of defeating Kalu because his magical level has also reached level five. Something worth mentioning
, the war also brought some benefits to Yifei. She used magical magic to treat the wounded again and again, which actually made her channel to communicate with the source of the God of Light's power smoother, and her magical level reached level nine.
Level nine means that she can use a wide range of healing spells and blessing spells.
For this reason, Jiexi ordered two copies of Jiexi's generosity for the brother and sister. Karu got a new pillar, which was specially customized and named "Twisted Wave". The material of the pillar was mutated scarlet black crystal.
The outer periphery is wrapped with black deep-sea fine iron. The fine iron is divided into four pieces. The surface is covered with spikes. The rotating wrapped cylinder looks like a huge rose cast from steel. It enchants "Cheetah" and "Tenchu".
", the former increases the attack speed of the weapon holder, and the latter increases the lethality of the weapon itself.
When Kalu got the pillar, he was very excited at first and shouted to buy everyone a drink. After a while, he remembered something and suddenly knelt down in front of Jie Xi to express his gratitude. The pillar is a very unpopular profession and there is no system at all.
Combat skills. There is no way that there is a ready-made battle pillar in Jiexi's ring. In other words, this pillar was customized by Jiexi later. It is excellent in terms of craftsmanship, materials and enchantment. It shows Jiexi's intentions.
Carew should thank her with the most solemn etiquette.
Yifei also obtained a new magical staff, named "Flower of Thorns". The material and color are the same as the twisted wave, which is obviously a matching weapon.
In fact, Kim Gates has also received a share of Jie Xi’s generosity. He has done well and deserves a reward. However, the fat man’s favorite thing is money. After much deliberation, Jie Xi can only double his year-end bonus.
.
In the summer of Lane 124, one month after Kim Gates declared war, the Alculus plan was finally finalized and officially implemented.
The surrounding cities have been on heightened alert since Kim Gates declared war. After waiting for a month, they did not see any action from Norland City. Some of them began to relax, and some even loudly laughed at Kim Gates in public for only daring to do so.
Move your mouth but dare not move your hands.
It's time.
When the morning sun gave out the first ray of light, the stone door of Alice's Fortress moved up with a rumble. Aranza rode out, followed by a carriage. There was only Effie in the carriage. This time she finally had no stubborn demands and her brother.
Together. Then, there are cargo carriages that are slightly larger than ordinary carriages. On each carriage are three or two members of the pilot team, including Locke. Each carriage is loaded with an Alice
War Bear, covered with a huge brown canvas.
This is the pioneering team planned by Ercurus. The core members are Aranza and Ife, and Locke can barely count as one; the other two teams, Karu and Dolores, lead the Norland City defenders as the purge team, responsible for
The nobles who are reorganizing the new territory, Jessie and Yvette are the logistics team. Cyril and Silas are also members of the logistics team, but they are more often guarding the Alice Fortress, and Cyril also cooperates with Karu and occasionally performs tasks
Some assassination missions.
The direction Aranza is going to is northeast of Alice Fortress and due east of Noland City, Deyun City. This is the first stop of the Elculus plan, and it is also the first stop of the war magic machine after a thousand years.
In a true sense of the word, go to war.
The flames of war broke out when Deyun City was caught off guard.
Fifty Alice War Bears were arranged in a square formation, dormant quietly in the dark night. Aranza, who was sitting on the horse, turned around. The dark formation behind him made him feel shocked and depressed. Locke jumped off his Alice War Bear.
, this Alice War Bear as the host was dyed scarlet. He looked a little nervous and trotted in the dark. The short distance almost made him trip several times. He came to Aranza and stood up straight.
.
"Captain! The Scarlet Avengers team is ready!" - Scarlet Avengers, the name Yvette named this team.
Aranza nodded and said: "Well, very good! Put on the magic crystal and attack with the whole army! Locke, let me see the results of your study during this time!"
The faint blue magical light lit up in the central part of Alice's War Bear, converging into a huge light curtain, making them particularly clear at night. Aranza had already vaguely heard the sound of the alarm bell in Deyun City not far away.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the giant sword "teared" pointed forward.
"kill!"
A huge roar resounded through the sky, the earth trembled, and a torrent of steel swept forward unstoppably!
The defenders of Deyun City reacted quickly. The archers had already rushed to the city wall, and arrow formations were raining down from the sky.
How can a small arrow shake a huge iron block?
With a clanging sound, the arrows hit Alice's war bear, but they had no effect at all. Aranza, who was rushing at the front, had already accelerated her horse, rushed out of the arrow array's impact point, and rushed to the city gate first!
He can't break the city gate! Locke thought to himself, unconsciously pulling the accelerator lever on his side, and a bump appeared in the first row of arrays. Locke's Alice War Bear was a little faster than other War Bears. The price of being faster
It doubled the consumption of magic crystals. As the captain of the Scarlet Avengers, Locke certainly knew this, but he still did it.
"snort!"
Aranza knew what was happening behind him without looking. He just raised the corner of his mouth slightly. At this time, the city gate was already in front of him. It was too late for the defenders to think of using the ballista.
"The King's Blade!"
Aranza shouted, and the sword skill came out, the huge light blade drew an obvious mark on the ground, and hit the city gate!
One blow, destroy the city!
The captain of the garrison above the city wall stared straight in his eyes. This is impossible! Even a senior warrior cannot break the city with one sword! But he had no time to think about it, because Aranza did not enter the city, but leaped up on his horse.
Step straight up the city wall!
"No!" the captain of the garrison shouted desperately, and the next moment, Aranza was "torn apart" in front of his eyes!
And Alice War Bear began to change their formation in an orderly manner, and each one filed into the city!
It was a complete one-sided massacre!
The combat power of each Alice War Bear is even higher than that of a tenth-level warrior. Its movements may not be agile enough, but its impact is enough to smash houses. Just the first Alice War Bear completely changed the defensive formation in the city.
Penetration, second frame, third frame... tenth frame, eleventh frame... no!
No one in Deyun City has the confidence to count them anymore.
The driver's seat of Alice's War Bear is completely surrounded by steel. The driver can only observe the outside world through the holes on the left, right and front three sides. But even if outsiders find the position of the driver's seat, there is nothing they can do. How many archers can accurately place arrows?
If the arrow is sent into the moving hole, even if there is one, it will be cleared first.
Locke nervously controlled his Alice War Bear. The sword on the bear's head struck again and again, killing several people. His eyes were already blood red, just like the color of the bear's head and the sword. At this time, Locke didn't have any thoughts at all.
What comes to mind, kill, only kill, kill those who resist, kill those who run away, kill those who stand!
The bloody war bear suddenly stood up, and the driver's operating skills made it as ferocious as a real bear. Its roar was also like the roar of a real bear, and its steel body slammed down, crushing the defensive fortress below.
Several soldiers who entered were crushed to death.
Its first magic crystal has been consumed. Without even looking at it, Locke skillfully pulled out the scrapped magic crystal with his backhand and installed the new crystal. Each war bear is equipped with ten magic crystals, enough to sustain them for a night.
Even Yvette couldn't help but lament when she saw such an energy reserve. Due to her memory, the family could only equip each Alice War Bear with one magic crystal, and even half of this crystal had been consumed. If the thorns lasted, Yuri
Dynasty Ya has so many magic crystals, how can it fail?
We have such resources now thanks to Jie Xi's ring, and the materials in the ring were left by the King of Heroes and were the treasury of the former Principality of Lane!
Locke suddenly let out a strange laugh, and then the Alice War Bear roared into life again. However, when he looked around, he could no longer see anyone standing. There were only identical War Bears in front of him.
And, scattered limbs, dark red ground.
He was in a daze, pushed his hand to open the protective cover, and stood up in confusion. The dark red blood was still flowing, and the part reflected by the moonlight was light red, reflecting Locke's twisted figure.
Locke suddenly felt his stomach churn, and he bent over suddenly. His stomach was so nauseated that he wanted to vomit, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't vomit anything out, or there was only a little stomach acid, which was stuck in his throat.
Divided into bitter.
Aranza had already flipped onto his Alice Bear and stood next to Locke.
He held a tuft of hair in his hand, the roots of which were connected to the head of the Lord of Deyun City. He patted Locke on the shoulder and asked Locke to look up at him.
"Well, most people are like that."
Aranza took a deep breath, and the thick smell of blood filled his nose. He said: "War always kills people. Even if he no longer wants to be your enemy, you have to kill him, because you can't guess at all.
What is he thinking?"
Locke said with difficulty: "Because of this, do we have to kill so many people?!"
"Oh?" Aranza looked at Locke sideways, with an evil charm on the corner of her mouth, "Well, I just saw you kill people who were kneeling and begging for mercy... I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than
Let one go, you did a good job."
Locke stopped talking.
Aranza did not stay in Deyun City and ordered the Scarlet Avengers to evacuate that night. Compared with the momentum during the siege, they were like silent and cold snakes at this time. Six of the fifty War Bears were damaged, five of which were only
It was only slightly damaged, and there were enough parts on the army's backup parts carriage to repair them on the spot. But one of them was too seriously damaged, and Aranza could only order people to stay behind and wait for Carew to come and transport the Alice War Bear back to Alice.
fortress.
In terms of the injured, only one driver was slightly injured. An arrow happened to pass through the hole and pierced his shoulder. With a wave of Ifei's little hand, the injury was basically recovered and no longer affected driving.
After one night, Aranza led his team to an affiliated city of Deyun City according to the location indicated on the map. It was the only threatening place in the administrative area of Deyun City, but this threat was eliminated by the iron claws of Alice's War Bear.
Threat. They easily eliminated the defenders and ended the task of attacking Deyun City.
Carew led his army to Deyun City that afternoon, declared the city to be under the rule of Baron King Gates, and began the final cleanup work.
At the same time, an urgent message was delivered to Aranza at a gallop.
"Is it a letter from my brother?" Ife ran up to Aranza, her eyes flashed and she asked excitedly.
Aranza frowned and looked at the signature on the letter. It was indeed Carew Mond, and handed the letter to Effie. As soon as it was handed to her hand, Aranza's hand suddenly touched the edge of the letter, and the paper was mushy.
The edges were thicker than ordinary envelopes, and Aranza discovered that the letter contained a secret compartment.
He tore open the sandwich and took out the note inside.
There are only a few scattered words on it: Moran City has hired the Thirteenth Mercenary Group of the Royal Knights.
The Thirteenth Mercenary Group of the Royal Knights, this is the name of a mercenary group in a sequence. Of course Aranza knows the family that uses this sequence.
——The Lane family, the line of founding kings!
Its current leader is Alpha Ryan, a rookie from Group A who didn’t show his talent during Ryan’s rookie game!
Aranza was silent for a while, looking up to the southeast. Moran City... was the second city planned by Ercurus.
