Victoria is in the Duke of York's stronghold. Players are running around telling each other about the strange knight appearing outside the Duke's castle, telling other players who don't know yet, and preparing for defense against possible monsters that may appear next.
.
Players in Victoria have become accustomed to monster sieges. From the development of Victoria until now, there have been monster sieges several times. After every monster siege, Victoria players will gain a lot. They are very happy.
Such activities are welcome.
Now there are monster siege activities again, how could they not welcome it?
On the other hand, Lancelot was a little nervous, or rather normal, and was instructing the players to make some defensive preparations, such as building and stacking horses in front of the camp, and placing more obstacles in front of the only passage.
After just doing these tasks, Lancelot still felt uneasy, but there was no other way.
Those rescuing the Duke, the Earl's cavalry, had approached Victoria's stronghold at York.
When thousands of knights surrounded the entire Victoria stronghold, many Victorians were still walking around outside the stronghold. Most of these people were caught by the knights, and these players were captured thanks to
They had no intention of escaping.
When the players saw the knights appearing, they thought they were sent by the Duke to capture them. They shouted and rushed towards them, desperately begging them to capture them. As long as they were captured and joined the army of slave warriors, they could be like A Fei.
What a great thing it is to reach the pinnacle of life together, why do they want to run away?
The players did not consider that these knights were not the duke, but the counts who came to rescue the duke. They had no dream of forming an army of slaves to conquer the world.
In order to complete the task of rescuing the referendum as much as possible, they must weaken Victoria's power to the greatest extent.
After capturing the players who surrendered, and after a period of interrogation, they killed all the players.
These counts don't have any prison that can allow them to imprison such a large number of players, not to mention that there are nearly a thousand players who come to surrender. If there are only a few hundred people, they will kill them all without hesitation.
When the earls killed two waves in a row and surrendered to the players, in Victoria's dictionary, the players also knew from the forum and other people's oral accounts that the surrender of these knights would result in direct death.
, without any adventure missions.
If there are no other tasks, then there is no need to be polite to them. The players directly launched an attack on the count's team.
The ambitious Earl of Shaomai soon realized the despair that the blond George once felt.
At the beginning of the battle, the Earl of Shaomai's team still had an absolute advantage. They were even about to attack the stronghold at one point, and all the horses and obstacles that resisted them were cleared away by them.
They burned away the resisting horses and obstacles with flames.
As well as the players on the periphery, they were all captured and killed. Then they launched an attack on the camp.
"Earl of Shaomai." Just as the counts' troops were preparing to attack, a knight walked up to Earl of Shaomai and said:
"The camp selection in Victoria is very particular. I originally thought that Victoria people only rely on courage and brute strength, but I didn't expect that there are such high-quality talents."
"Indeed, I am a little surprised, but even if it is such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack stronghold, it is nothing to us." Earl Siomai said to the people behind him with a confident smile:
"Bring our artillery up!"
After the Earl of Shaomai finished shouting, several retinues quickly came and pushed three huge artillery pieces up.
The players in the stronghold quickly saw the huge artillery being pushed out. They never thought that the cold weapon combat they had been experiencing would actually include artillery. After all, in their common sense imagination,
The surface world is a society in the Middle Ages.
But in the game, there is nothing to be serious about.
Of course, the artillery launched by the Count of Shaomai cannot be just a simple artillery that uses gunpowder and shells to exert its power, but is more similar to the magic energy shells in the underground world.
It's just that what they use is not the power of magic, but the power of knowledge or in other words, the power of holy light.
The power source of the artillery shell is not generated by the explosion of gunpowder, but an engine-like thing hanging on the back of the artillery. Before firing, water must be continuously poured into it, and then the artillery shells are filled into the artillery. That kind of
Cannonballs are cannonballs filled with the power of the Holy Light. Only the clergy of the church will know how to make them.
Count Shaomai is not a clergyman, and he is not interested in the production of this kind of holy light cannonball, as long as he can use it.
But according to common sense, using true energy to fire cannonballs does not have much power, but this world is not the world according to common sense. Just before the cannon was launched, a priest blessed the cannon with the holy light. In his thoughts
The three artillery pieces that were pushed out were all bathed in the light of the holy light.
The players were shocked when they saw everything in front of them. They didn't expect that the power of the Holy Light could be used in this way. Count Shaomai gave an order, and three artillery pieces were fired at the same time. Along with the dazzling cannonballs, they flew towards Victoria's stronghold.
Then it exploded in mid-air.
What followed was an explosion that made it impossible to open one's eyes, instantly destroying everything in the camp.
The defensive measures made only of wood were unable to withstand the second salvo of Earl Shaomai's artillery. In just one salvo, everything in the stronghold was completely destroyed.
The only thing intact was the rune magic circle protected by magic.
For players, the rune magic circle is enough.
————————————
Free City of Victoria.
Lancelot had just walked out of the castle when he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the free city of Victoria. Many undressed players came out of the resurrection door and were cursing.
"What the hell, monsters attacked the city and wiped out our group in the blink of an eye. Isn't this an online game? Is it a single-player plot that kills everyone?"
"It was so scary, I didn't even react, and the person was gone!"
"Hurry up, go back and see if the equipment is still there. The equipment that was killed in a plot like this should still be there!"
"If the equipment is gone, I will kill the planning mother!"
The players were yelling and screaming, and then quickly ran towards the portal. Lancelot knew without asking that there must be something wrong with the stronghold of the Duke of York.
When he passed through the portal hall and was about to enter the Duke of York's territory through the portal, the hamster boss suddenly stopped him and said to him:
"My Lord, Earl of Glamorgan, please wait here for a moment. Queen Victoria has ordered us not to enter the Duchy of York."
"But our stronghold in the duchy is very likely to be attacked. I have to direct them to defend. Otherwise, if they follow the portal and get here, even Queen Victoria may be in danger."
Lancelot just finished speaking. The old hamster laughed a little, and then continued:
"This is impossible. Even if they really come here, they will not threaten Her Majesty the Queen. You just need to obey Her Majesty the Queen's orders and stay in the Free City of Victoria. This is also for your safety."
The hamster boss didn't explain much, but Lancelot could guess that this must be because Queen Victoria trusted the people of Victoria's Free City who could be infinitely resurrected. They did have such a resurrection ability, no matter what the enemy was.
Don't be afraid.
But as a knight, he always hides at the end when danger comes. This is indeed too frustrating for Lancelot. What else does he want to explain and fight for himself on the front line?
reasons.
However, the hamster boss did not give him such a chance. After notifying Lancelot, the boss returned to the city and returned to the castle. Just when Lancelot was about to catch up, he saw Guinevere heading towards
He came over:
"Earl Lancelot, I heard that our stronghold in York Territory was attacked by others. Is it the Duke of York's counterattack?"
Seeing Guinevere's very concerned eyes, Lancelot immediately explained:
"Please don't worry. The specific situation is not very clear yet. Believe in our strength. We will definitely help you, Miss Guinevere, to regain the dukedom."
Like a true knight, Lancelot straightened his back and said to the worried lady in front of him.
"I'm sorry, but I am not Miss Guinevere. I think I have told you, Lord Count, before that I am not a girl."
Guinevere looked embarrassed, but Sloat nodded understandingly.
The duchy that he was supposed to inherit was taken away from him and he was forced to flee. If it were him, he would have chosen to hide his true identity and pretend to be a boy, which would be relatively easier.
I don’t know when it started, but Lancelot had already decided that Guinevere was a girl and completely ignored what others said. After all, Guinevere was now his wife and Queen Victoria was his.
Lord, the engagement she personally made is not so easy to break.
Although Lancelot nodded, Guinevere would not think that he would accept his statement. In fact, he had explained it to him many times, but Lancelot still would after a while,
He mistakenly thought he was a girl. Now was not the time to care about these things. He continued to say to Lancelot:
"I'm fighting at the stronghold. If you need me somewhere, please tell me directly. Even if you look at me like this, I can also pick up a weapon and fight on the battlefield on horseback."
Lancelot originally wanted to say something, but the player beside him who had been listening to their conversation interrupted and said:
"Do you want to go to the battlefield and take a look around? We can be your guards. Leave this task to us!"
One player volunteered. When the other players heard what he said, they immediately reacted and just watched the plot. They didn't think of digging out the adventure missions from the plot. Isn't this a hidden mission?
If you can get rich rewards just by escorting Guinevere's stronghold, then this mission must be too easy.
"Choose me, our A Fei Yoga Club is the most liberal guild in Victoria."
"I'm stronger. My weapon proficiency has reached level 5. Choose me. Choose me."
"Guinevere, you know that I admire you the most. Let me be your guard knight. I will protect your safety. Even if I die 10,000 times, I will not let you suffer any harm!"
"Are you all so real for the adventure mission? Have you given up all your moral integrity?"
The players shouted like this so that Lancelot had no chance to say anything to Guinevere. Guinevere was obviously not used to the players' enthusiasm, and raised her hands in a panic, trying to stop the players.
their enthusiasm.
The commotion here attracted more players, and at this time, another player shouted from the other side of the portal:
"I bought all the old equipment, but they were all melted by two cannonballs. What kind of garbage game is this? Give me back the equipment!"
"Didn't we agree that this is a safe zone?"
"Monsters are attacking the city and managing the safe zone to get in. Even the queen will be killed for you to see!"
"Hurry up and go to the camp to help, those knights are attacking!"
With the shouts of the players, more and more players entered the stronghold of the Duke of York through the portal and participated in the intense battle.
Guinevere looked at these players who were constantly engaged in the battle with emotion. They were all trying to help her regain the Duke of York, and they were fighting tirelessly. His eyes were filled with tears.
Lancelot saw Guinevere's expression. He suddenly drew out his long sword, put it on the ground, and said to Guinevere:
"Don't worry, we will definitely help you regain the Duke of York."
"Thank you, Lord Earl of Glamorgan."
Guinevere showed a moved expression and looked at Lancelot in front of her. Then he also looked at the players beside him and said:
"Thank you too, thank you to each of you for helping me regain the Duke of York's territory. I want each of you who have sacrificed your blood and lives for the territory to receive the rewards you deserve. Each of you will be engraved in the memory of
In my territory, my descendants will remember your names!"
Guinevere's voice is getting louder and louder, and the players are looking forward to what she says more and more. It seems that the rewards will be rich in the future!
They became more and more energetic, rushing through the portal to fight the count knights who came to rescue them.
A battle between the Duchy of York and the Free City of Victoria has officially begun.
