Standing on the city wall, looking at the rapidly approaching Yar army in the distance.
Jim Watts waved his hand gently, signaling the troops behind him to prepare for battle.
With a burst of dust flying, tens of thousands of knights on war horses were the first to arrive in front of Grindstone Castle, followed closely by a large number of metal chariots and infantry advancing step by step in a military formation.
Unlike on Earth, where there was the concept of temporarily conscripted serf cannon fodder during the Cold War, the army in this world needs to be more professional and elite due to its extraordinary power!
Even if the energy response of this world is weak in Orzhiga's eyes, for ordinary people it is enough to lead their civilization to another route. The vision and needs of the two sides have not been on the same level from the beginning.
In this world, various military enlistment compensations emerge in endlessly, and as long as you successfully enlist in the army, you will automatically receive various preferential treatment.
On the contrary, every soldier must be diligent in exercising the knight system and spend most of his time strengthening himself, so that both strength and endurance are far incomparable to others, and all of them can easily handle ten attacks with bare hands.
An ordinary adult can move freely wearing dozens of kilograms of armor.
Compared with these professional fighting machines, an army composed of ordinary people is simply meaningless. The huge gap in physical fitness determines that even if the number of ordinary people is dozens of times greater, they will not be able to withstand the attack of these people.
Wave charge.
It’s completely the difference between cat and mouse!
On earth, we can probably describe them as Rambo per capita.
In this case, a rule naturally formed.
[Until the end of the line, ordinary people won’t be able to take to the battlefield.]
'Ordinary people are responsible for farming, doing business, having children, and providing nutrients for specialized fighting groups. Going to the battlefield is simply seeking death!'
This concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people after thousands of years of precipitation!
-----
After setting up the array, among the troops of the Principality of Yal, a handsome middle-aged man rode a strong horse and took a few steps forward, walking to the front of the array alone.
Jem Watts looked at the city wall from a distance and laughed: "Surrender, dear Crown Prince Jem, it's not good if I hurt you!"
The soldiers behind him also burst into laughter at the right time.
Obviously he wanted to embarrass Jem Watts.
Looking at the soldiers who were making fun of him unscrupulously, James Watts' facial muscles twitched involuntarily, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Harry, I hope you can still smile so happily later."
The other party mocked unceremoniously: "That's natural. Of course I will laugh as happily as I do now. Is it possible that you can still defeat me with this little manpower? There are not many people who can defeat more with less, but you
If I really had that ability, would I still be able to fight here?"
After saying that, he shook his head and said in a very serious voice: "Jim, I have to admit that you do have some abilities, but your father is so stupid that he ruined the family fortune of the Principality of Marton in just ten years.
Most likely, if it weren't for this reason, our Principality of Yar wouldn't even think of invading."
"Surrender, as long as the agreement is signed, we will withdraw immediately. You are defeated, and unnecessary sacrifices are meaningless. Surrendering now can at least retain some dignity."
If possible, he really doesn't want to fight. After all, people will definitely die if they start fighting. Although they have an absolute advantage, the opponent is not a showpiece. If they win, they will have to pay a huge price, so it is best to solve the problem with words.
choice.
It's the same victory, but returning with heavy casualties, how can it be better to return in an orderly manner?
These troops were all elite, and he didn't want to waste them on unnecessary things.
After hearing what the other party said, Jim Watts showed a sneer on his lips and asked disdainfully: "Surrender? Hang me on a pillar of shame to make you famous?"
As a knight and as a prince.
As the face of a country!
If he surrenders voluntarily, how will his subordinates and his people view him?
Just thinking about it made Jim Watts feel unbearable.
The thousand-year honor of the entire royal family must fall on his hands!
Thinking of this, Jim Watts also revealed: "And don't think that I don't know that two of the people who bewitched my father were sent by the Principality of Yar."
"So what? Aren't you going to send people to our country to do shameful things?"
Harry did not deny his accusations. He just smiled disdainfully and then waved his hands casually and said, "The difference is that you didn't succeed, but we succeeded. The only reason to blame is that your father is too conceited."
Too big and too stupid!”
In this regard, Jim Watts did not refute anything, whether it was the fact that they would also send people to other countries to cause trouble, or the fact that his father was too arrogant and stupid.
If it weren't for his identity, he really wanted to slap his father a few times, but the good situation was brought to ruin by him.
Jim Watts adjusted the national emblem on his chest and said solemnly: "Harry, it's useless to talk any more. You and I both know that today is the key to the victory or defeat between the Principality of Marton and the Principality of Yar.
Maybe we are waiting to die, so let’s decide the winner next!”
After he finished speaking, he added in his mind: 'Although I will cheat...'
I didn’t realize that there was something behind the other person’s words, and he actually wanted to play dirty!
Harry laughed twice and responded boldly:
"Okay, I will defeat your army head-on and make you convinced!"
He pulled out the long sword on his waist and gave the order: "The siege vehicles go first, the infantry will cooperate to press closer, and the cavalry will be ready to break the door!"
Immediately, the troops behind them started to move, and they all moved towards Mogu Castle!
When Jim Watts on the wall saw this situation, he raised his hand calmly and said to the general behind him: "Let the archers and artillery teams under you listen to the command, and wait until they are 100 steps away from the fortress.
Take action."
"clear."
After the other party received the order and left, Jim Watts took out a ruby the size of a pigeon egg from his pocket, touched the smooth surface, and asked Baron Duke, who was the only one left behind, "What do you think of this thing?"
How effective is it?"
As the only person here besides Jem Watts who knows the existence of Orshiga, Duke knows very well that the gorgeous gem is the trump card of the deal between Jem Watts and Orshiga, although he doesn't understand it.
Why do you ask yourself this? After thinking about it, you still answer truthfully: "My lord, I can't estimate it. In my eyes, this is just a ruby..."
Jim smiled and said:
"Yes, ruby, to the naked eye it looks like a ruby.
But the moment I got it and held it in the palm of my hand, I automatically understood its function.
It was a very wonderful feeling, as if there was something extra in my mind but I couldn't explain it clearly. I could see the effect that this gem would produce after it exerted its effect with an inexplicable vision...
"
Turning his head slightly to avoid an incoming arrow, James Watts continued: "Through this gem, I can vaguely feel the power of the demon, which is indeed not something that mortals can deal with.
You know, although he behaves very peacefully now, and even rarely leaves his residence, as if he is different from the demons recorded in history and will not bring danger to the kingdom, but I still can't let myself ignore the hidden meaning in him.
threaten.
Because his eyes have never changed since the first day, they are still so cold and cruel. In his eyes, our status has always been just dust. He neither cares about our thoughts nor cares about us.
No special restraints were carried out. Apart from occasionally issuing some innocuous orders and leaving some punitive spells on us, there were no other measures. They did not take us to heart at all, just like it didn't matter if we betrayed at any time.
I don’t understand what he is planning, but I understand that he is becoming more and more dangerous as time goes by. He is eager for killing and souls, but he has never made any big moves. This is like a hungry wolf entering
It is unreasonable that the sheep pen is not open to eat. He is undoubtedly afraid of something, otherwise there would be no reason for wolves to coexist peacefully with sheep..."
Duke lowered his head and said solemnly: "Your Highness, I feel that only people from the church in this world can give us the answer."
Jim Watts shook his head slightly and sighed slowly.
"Yes, they who know the most about demons are indeed the most likely to give us the answer, but compared to the man-eating demon, this giant beast of the church is also a monster that eats people without spitting out bones. They have been trying to regain divine power.
Overriding the royal power, once an opportunity is found, the situation in the Marton Principality will immediately become unfavorable..."
Depending on the height you stand, you think about different things. In the eyes of Baron Duke, a relatively simple relationship is also complicated to him, and he has to think clearly about every step he takes.
Walking to the edge of the city wall, he looked at the enemy troops below who were trying to rush up the city wall one after another. He could even clearly see the excitement and fanaticism in their eyes, which was the joy that he was about to win.
Perhaps they had already thought about how they would plunder and how gloriously they would return home.
Jim Watts shook his head and said softly: "I hope you can survive a few more, otherwise it will be difficult to fill the gap in the number of sacrifices..."
Then he crushed the gem in his hand.
A burst of scarlet light shone in the sky above Grindstone Castle.
The soldiers on both sides, who were fighting fiercely, all looked at the sky with confusion, somewhat puzzled by the scene at this time.
Without giving them time to think, as Jem Watts divided the target area in his mind, all the Yar troops whose strength did not reach the level of [Grand Knight] could not help but reveal wildness that could not be concealed.
The killing then began again.
But this time, their target has changed from the army of the Principality of Marton to everyone around them!
They no longer distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, as long as they are still alive, they are their enemies. At this moment, the battle completely turns into madness...
