Caglis suppressed the tension in his heart and told everything he saw one by one. After the Vieros' left wing was defeated, Count Jacques placed a defensive position in a forest, hoping to use the terrain advantages to restrict the Madara Skeleton Cavalry.
With the performance of the Dread Spirit. After losing the left wing, the width of the Viero people's defense line became extremely narrow, and they were surrounded by the undead army on three sides. Madara sent skeleton swordsmen to attack, and the Viero people's elite crossbows
The lethality of the hands against the skeleton is almost non-existent. Only the crossbow arrows sanctified by the priest of the Temple of Fire have the desired effect, but the number is too small and has basically no impact on the battle situation. The strength of the Skeleton Swordsman
Slightly inferior to human soldiers, but superior in numbers, Viero's elite crossbowmen could not play a role, and the remaining more than a thousand knights and heavy infantry were locked in a bitter battle.
Like all human armies fighting the undead, the resistance of the Vieros is very tenacious. The dark nobles of Madara are accustomed to this, and their response method is also very simple, exchanging casualties with the Vieros at any cost.
When Brando heard this, he understood that Count Jacques was in danger. Skeletons were resistant to arrows. The Viello people did not bring enough priests with them. They were simply seeking their own death. On the other hand, Madara had rich experience and the undead army was tireless.
, was not affected by casualties, but humans could not accept the despair of comrades falling beside them. As expected, the Viero people quickly fell into chaos.
"So the Vieros are almost doomed?" Brando asked.
"It's almost over, Lord Lord, but Madara's infantry are still involved. The elite heavy crossbowmen of the Viero people are not a big threat to the skeletons, but they are a great threat to the fearful spirits. The blood staff is in this situation
Two Dreadwraiths were lost in the battle, and they were probably determined to capture this elite force of the Vieros. Moreover, the current exchange ratio is very favorable to them, so there is no reason to let this opportunity go."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"I saw it with my own eyes, Lord Lord."
"So what do you think of both parties?" Brando asked meaningfully while sitting on the horse.
"The Vieros' retinue of knights is a joke. In my opinion, they should not have come at all. Those knights have tricked Count Jacques. Without them, the Vieros would not have suffered such a miserable defeat.
"
"Grand Duke Viero can't stop them from coming." Brando smiled with sarcasm.
Everyone else around him couldn't help but frown, especially people like Caglis who came from a noble family. It is only natural that retainers serve their lords. Eruin and Cruz have maintained this tradition for the past hundreds of years.
, it seems to be a matter of course, no big deal, but why does it suddenly become a huge disadvantage? Only Brando understands that in the past battles of the lords, winning or losing did not really matter, it was just a loss of money, that was
An aristocratic war; but starting from this era, the war began with the annexation of countries and territories. From this moment on, the outcome of the war began to be related to life and death, and the inefficient way of forming the army began to become a fatal weakness.
"What about the rest?"
"It's okay. Tomobo's noble knights and heavy infantry have the strength of the Ampelsel Port Guards and the Southern Army, but the number is too small. If the elite crossbowmen can play their due role, they can still fight. Now...
..." Caglis clicked his tongue. Tomobo is the real name of Earl Jacques. Caglis has always been cynical, so he lacks due courtesy to the nobles except Brando and Her Royal Highness the Princess.
The name rather than a nickname was a sign of respect for the Earl's courage, and the so-called ability to fight in a battle was only to be able to confront an army of four thousand skeletons head-on. The Blood Staff did not put its elite into the frontal battlefield at all.
"Where are the Lantonilanders?"
"Eco was stopped by Madara's skeleton cavalry. Directly opposite us, they had always wanted to go over to support Tomobo, but those skeletons didn't give him this chance. However, the Lantonilans were really powerful and they didn't let them take over.
When I got there, I saw Eco and his knights circling the skeleton cavalry, probably waiting for us to arrive on the battlefield."
Brando smiled. The person commanding this army must be Eco's fiancée Yula. The blind Nine Phoenix girl has a natural talent and is a truly chosen person. If it weren't for her and Ai Ke's relationship in history,
Ke died too early, and the history of Eruin may be different in the future. At that time, there were several strong men in the southern border. In addition to Eco and Yula, there was also Ke Wen in front of him. If these three people could join forces,
Coupled with the Highland Knights, Madara's invasion may not be so smooth. At that time, the Blood Staff was ambushed in the Tosankad Forest, and Yura also played an important role in it.
"Talk about Madara." He deliberately raised his voice a little higher. Sure enough, everyone else pricked up their ears. Except for Brando, most of the people here were interested in the opponent that the lord has always valued.
'Very curious. From what they heard, those skeletons were not worth mentioning. Except for Brando and Freya, even the mercenaries who escaped from Butchi did not think that Madara could be Eruin's.
Enemy, these people are more or less influenced by this kind of thinking, but what they saw today seems to have allowed them to see another side of the Bromando rose.
Jutta was fully armed and sitting on the saddle. The female mercenary leader was very unaccustomed to the heavy armor on her body, but she couldn't put it down. This beautiful armor full of embossed carvings now proved that she was a noble of the kingdom and a knight commander.
This is exactly the status she has always wanted. If she had had this status earlier, she might have been able to protect her sister. She sighed secretly. When she heard Brando's words, Juta curled her lips again and replied.
He turned to Fern and said, "The Lord is here again."
The knight commander, who was born in the Karasu Cavalry, looked at her a little coldly and did not answer.
"Are those skeletons really that powerful?"
"It's more powerful than you think, but not as outrageous as the lord said." Fern replied.
"I think the lord was probably frightened by them in Butchi. Haha, although our lord is a bit incredible, young and handsome, he is just a child after all." Yuta smiled.
Fern glanced at her. It was a bit too disrespectful to say this. The blood staff bore a deep hatred for every Karasu people, and he was no exception. The lord kept his promise that day and brought him here. He was only grateful in his heart.
When he thought of having the opportunity to kill the Blood Staff with his own hands, the mercenary captain who was born in Karasu Cavalry felt that his blood was boiling. Of course, he might agree with Yuta's words from the bottom of his heart, but he would never
This is how to describe the Lord.
At this moment, in front of Brando, Caglis was silent for a moment: "If possible, I really don't want to be their enemy. To deal with them, I have to kill them completely. I feel tired just thinking about it."
"That's it?"
"It's still a bit strong."
"powerful?"
"The one who defeated Tomobo was a group of skeleton swordsmen. Their attire was something I had never seen before - their strength far exceeded that of ordinary skeletons. But the strange thing is that we have never had such skeletons before.
Rumors about swordsmen. I suspect that in addition to fear spirits and skeleton cavalry, Madara also has many high-level military units that we have not heard of, and they have never appeared in past wars."
Gliss replied thoughtfully.
"Describe it?"
"The skeleton swordsmen are a little different from ordinary skeletons. They use two-handed swords one palm wide."
"A two-handed swordsman."
"Yes, two-handed swordsmen." Caglis nodded: "They are different from the mail armor of ordinary skeletons. They wear black half-body armor, but no helmets. They seem to wear iron foot guards."
"Is there a spider embossed on the breastplate of the bust?"
Caglis raised his head and looked at Brando in surprise: "Lord, have you seen them?"
Brando smiled, and sure enough, Spider Swordsman was here. He looked at Caglis and continued to ask: "What then?"
"They are very powerful," Caglis was a little surprised. He understood his mission before going to Silman, so in addition to Brando teaching him the knowledge about Madara, he also specifically found An
Titina had borrowed information about that dark kingdom, but there was no book about that kind of strange two-handed swordsman. He felt more and more that his lord was a bit unusual, so he answered cautiously: "
Ordinary knights are no match for them, they at least have the strength of a third-level army."
"Third level, an organized army?" Fern finally couldn't help but said: "This is impossible!"
There are indeed many high-level undead in Madara, among which the bone dragons are creatures up to the ninth level. There were three bone dragons in Instar Dragon's army back then, but they were like general-level existences in Eruin's army.
, they are often conspicuous targets once they appear on the battlefield, and Eruin also has masters of element cultivation, so when these high-level creatures appear on the battlefield, they are often unlikely to cause much damage to the general army.
In Warnd's military theory, only high-level creatures that have formed an organic system can be called high-level armies.
But like Eruin, Madara also lacks high-level troops. Its basic army is skeletons and zombies, which are even inferior to human soldiers. The slightly higher-level ones are black knights and ghosts (pale knights also belong to the ghosts).
species), but the number is too small. If it were not for the unique attributes of the undead, Madara has always been inferior to the small country of Eruin in terms of military strength. Therefore, for thousands of years, the two sides have been able to fight successfully.
In the past, the kingdom even had the upper hand for a time.
That's why Cagliese's words made Fern, who had dealt with skeletons the most, the first to feel incredible.
"But since Madara has these troops, why did they keep hiding them before? If they want to catch us by surprise, then now seems not the time." Yuta couldn't help but ask.
Brando shook his head. This is the common psychology of the Eruin people in this era. Even the people around him have not realized what happened on the land to the east. But only he understood that Caglis and
No lie, Madara has never hidden its army, and there is no need for it to hide anything from a weak country like Eruin, but the Spider Swordsman has never appeared with Eruin before.
They were defeated in Luin's war because they had just joined Madala's war order.
Fearing spirits, skeleton cavalry, plus the current spider swordsmen, today's Madara, although there is no Tamar in history, it still has these brand-new arms. One person's gains and losses cannot change history.
The power generated by the unification of the huge territories in the four directions of Dara is too terrifying, and there will be more in the future. Now is just the beginning. Brando smiled, if he told these people, Spider Swordsman will
Will become the basic infantry of Madala, I wonder what these people will think?
After the Third Black Rose War, Madara didn't even bother to create skeleton warriors, which was just a waste of soul energy. From that time on, Madara's lowest-level unit was the Revenge Spider, which had evolved into a fourth-level unit at that time.
swordsman.
"So you all heard it," Brando then said: "The opponent you will face in front of us may be an undead army with a third-level army and a fourth-level air force. This is an army that is completely different from
Cruz people, lion people, and even the army of demons, you will soon see the style of this army."
When the young men of the White Lion Guard heard what their lord said, they all fell silent. Brando glanced at everyone at the border of the forest and waved his hand gently.
"But none of that matters."
He suddenly smiled, showing his white teeth.
"The important thing is that today we will crush them here and tell the world that today's enemies of Madala will be full of ancient glory and return to the kingdom of this world from the long scroll of history."
"It is a white lion, a golden sword, an oath to protect, and an ancient belief."
"Yes," the Earl was riding on horseback. He paused, as if he was about to exhale the last breath in his chest: "Our motherland, Eruin-"
The voice was not high-pitched, as if it was floating in the rain, but it made the blood surge in everyone's chest, as if giving birth to infinite courage, and made everyone feel like they could not help but raise their voices and move with their swords. Brando
Raise your hands, above the river valley and at the border of the forest, flag-bearers are raising their flags one after another. The holy white flags are flying in the wind, each side emerging from the mist, making a hunting sound, with the crescent moon of the kingdom and the mountains of Yusong on it.
, the deciduous pine needles, and the ice and snow in the north, seem to carry the history of a kingdom, reappearing on this land at this moment.
Above is the emblem of the white lion.
The trumpeter put the trombone to his lips, puffed up his cheeks, and blew hard.
The sound of the trumpet was melodious, as if it was parting the mist——
…
"Who is in front of us?" Brando suddenly asked.
"They are two regiments from the Sea of the Dead Moon. I have already found out that the commanders are the 'Deathrattle' Murgokin and Sir Viskager the Silent. The composition of the troops is basically spider swordsmen, with a rare number of skeletons.
The cavalry should be the elite of the Blood Staff."
"It has nothing to do with the Blood Staff, it's the Emperor's Chosen Group." Brando smiled.
"The Chosen Group?"
"It's nothing. Let's run over them first and say hello to the blood staff."
The melodious trombone sounded throughout the valley, and the first people to react were the Lantonilans. As soon as he heard the heavy and deep dragon horn trombone, Eco's eyes lit up. He tightened the reins and galloped.
He turned around on his horse and shouted over his shoulder: "Listen, from which direction is the sound of the trumpet coming?" The knights of the Llantonilans turned back one after another, and after a moment someone loudly replied: "It's the west, due west.
!”
"Haha, the Tonigels are here!" Eco pulled out his long sword, turned his horse's head, and shouted: "The Earl is greeting the blood staff. We Lantonilans can't let them look down upon them. Come on."
, let’s blow the trumpet too! Get ready to turn around, it’s time to give those half-toned skeleton cavalry some good looks!”
Being chased by a group of opponents who were much worse than themselves and not daring to fight back, the knights had long been suffering from suffocation. At this moment, they couldn't help but cheer loudly. For a moment, the valley was filled with mountains and tsunami.
The whistling trumpets echoed each other and spread throughout the valley along with the gentle breeze and drizzle.
Count Jacques, whose face was stained with blood, raised his head and listened carefully to the sound of the trumpet. "The Tonigurs are coming. They and the Lantonilians are notifying us..." This resolute soldier couldn't help it at this moment.
She shed tears, two lines of hot blood washed down from the blood stains, and lamented in a long voice: "But what's the use of them coming? It's useless. I can't help them. I can't help them. Get back quickly."
We are hopeless! At least don't die here. Go tell Her Royal Highness the Princess, tell the Duke that Madara is no longer the same Madara! As for the trumpeter, tell them to retreat, retreat quickly, before the undead come.
Keep an eye on them—"
The trumpeter stood beside his lord in a daze, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Do you want to blow the trumpet?
If the trumpet is blown, then they are dead, and no one will come to rescue them. They are trapped in a tight siege, with only one way to die. But what if the trumpet is blown? As the Earl said, what's the use? What's the use in front of them?
The army of the undead is no longer what it used to be. Even the Lantonilans can't break through their defenses. Who are the Tonigels? That place is just a remote country. Maybe the current lord is the future powerful minister of the kingdom, and there are even some.
He may become the only sword master of the new generation in Eruin for decades, but so what?
One person cannot influence the situation of the battle.
But the nobles couldn't do anything to wait for death. Reasonably, they told them that they should blow the trumpet, but emotionally these timid nobles of the kingdom could not accept the fate of being abandoned by friendly forces. They couldn't help but look at the trumpeter dying.
Shaking his head.
"Everyone," Count Jacques certainly noticed the little actions of his colleagues - until this moment, they still can't let go of their little thoughts? He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said feebly: "You all still have children and heirs,
Do you also want them to face the same situation as us today, waiting to die in despair and sorrow? You are soldiers, and the word "responsibility" may be too far away for you, but protecting your wife and children is a human instinct. I will say it all.
So, do you still want to stop me?"
Count Zlin, who was shaking his head desperately, suddenly froze there.
Heirs and future generations are the hope of noble inheritance. Even though they are as cold as iron, they can't help but waver at this moment——
Under the same sky, the Blood Staff was silently staring at the gloomy sky, as if it could see the sound of the trombone reverberating in the air. After a while, it lowered its head and asked in a low voice: "Where is this place?"
army?"
"Those human wounded soldiers who survived said they seemed to be from Tonigel."
"Tonigel?" The blood staff was slightly startled: "Where is that place?"
"I'm very sorry. I haven't heard of it either, sir."
