The history of the war between humans and demons is basically the history of massacres by demons. According to the historical records of the Qingas people, in the second half of the war, demons even regarded humans as food and hunted and slaughtered them arbitrarily.
But today's luck did not belong to the devil. Matthias and his general Joruus led the White Tower people and fought a battle that could illuminate the annals of history.
They did not use Reggie's advanced weapons excessively (only airships and large water guns were used), and with the help of the city and ancient weapons, they defeated the seemingly invincible fire demon.
Fire demons are not cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death. They dare to form a group and charge into the river, proving that they have the consciousness of sacrifice and the courage to die.
Seeing the cavalry rushing outside the city, they were not in a hurry to retreat. Most of the fire demons volunteered to act as blockers and tried their best to cover the fire demon lord's escape.
But their lax nature dug a big hole for them. Before they could get into formation, they were rushed to pieces by the wind-like cavalry. When they reorganized their team, they found that their fire was about to be extinguished by the heavy rain.
.
Joruus's tactics were very clear. He galloped with 300 cavalry in the rain, with only Gavara as his target. The fire demon was not very fast, and Gavara was quickly surrounded. He had no choice but to fight to the death.
.
The fire demon's melee combat method is very simple. They will rush directly towards the opponent's weapon, then hug the opponent and burn the opponent to death.
But Qiaolu's fighting method was simpler. When he saw Gavara rushing over, all the water guns were aimed at him. With just one spray, the Fire Demon Lord fell to the ground.
The body was covered with thick gum, and washed away by the rain, Gawala's fire turned into a cloud of smoke, moving around the body.
Even if someone blows hard now, it can blow out his fire.
Of course, Qiaolu would not risk his life to step forward and blow air. He kept pressurizing the barrel and prepared to end Gavara's life with a water cannon.
Gavara's guards could neither approach the cavalry nor organize a defensive formation, so they could only use their bodies to protect the monarch.
Under the layers of water glue, the fires of hundreds of fire demon guards were extinguished, and their strong bodies turned into ashes, mixed with the gum, and flowed on the ground like mud.
Gavara also disappeared, and the fire demons who lost their monarch completely lost their direction. They were just like the stragglers who forced themselves across the river, fighting the cavalry without any idea.
Qiaolu would not fight head-on with them. He led the cavalry around the edge of the battlefield carefully. It only took an hourglass of fifty minutes. The sea of fire that once covered the ground turned into dots of flames. The fire demons were killed and injured.
After all, the cavalrymen with water guns easily picked up the fish that slipped through the net.
After making sure that no sparks were left behind, Jolu returned triumphantly with his soldiers. After seeing the head of state, Joluus leaned over and saluted: "Sir, I won. The Lord of Fire Demon cannot resist the water glue."
Matthias counted out ten gold coins and stuffed them into Joruus' hand: "Take it, you deserve it."
Joruus smiled and was about to put the gold coins into his purse, but was stopped by Matthias.
"Be careful, don't confuse it with other gold coins. These gold coins have the marks of the White Tower people on them."
Qiaolu was startled, then picked up a gold coin and looked at it carefully for a while.
This is not a gold coin produced by Tianxing Kingdom. There is no iconic star pattern on it. Instead, there is a tower surrounded by clouds.
The reverse of the gold coin shows a profile of Matthias with a crown on his head.
"This is the first batch of gold coins minted by our country. There are only one hundred coins in total. Each gold coin represents the kindness of the head of state. Joruus, from today on, you will get ten opportunities for pardon. Each time
Every gold coin will offset your sin. The kindness of the White Tower Kingdom is with you, the tolerance of the White Tower Kingdom is with you, and the glory of the White Tower Kingdom is with you!"
Qiaolu clutched the gold coins tightly, knelt down on one knee and said: "I am willing to dedicate everything I have to the glory you bestow on me."
Mathias helped Jolu up and walked side by side on the top of the city. The nobles in the city followed behind him with flattering smiles.
"Your glory doesn't stop there. There are still fire demons remaining in the south, it's still snowing in the City of Burnt Leaves, and the enemy is still raging on our land."
"I will do my best to eradicate the enemy."
"Not every battle is worthy of your personal participation. Before the decisive battle, I still need to figure out two things. Why does the Frost Demon appear in Jiaoye City, and why can the Fire Demon pass through the Hanlang River?"
"I am willing to find out the truth for you."
Qiaolu's straightforwardness made Mathias laugh. As long as it related to military matters, he would do anything.
"The sentinels I sent are so useless that even you can't stand them anymore."
"The enemy has stepped up their vigilance. It might be easier to use an airship to detect."
"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but there seems to be something wrong with our airships. They can't soar at high altitudes like they used to. Now they can only fly close to the ground. It seems that Reggie Victor has manipulated them."
Qiaolu remained silent. It was obvious that the head of state wanted to assign him another difficult task.
"Reggie Victor, I used to trust him so much, but I didn't expect that he would be so greedy and use some crude weapons to defraud our land!" Mathias sighed, "In the end, this is still me.
I made a mistake, are you willing to make up for my mistake?"
Joruus remained silent as he did not want to get involved in anything related to politics.
Mathias stared at the gold coins in Joruus' hand, and it seemed that Joru was making his first mistake.
Jolu accepted the order wisely, and Matthias smiled with satisfaction: "I know this trip will be a bit difficult. With your identity, it is difficult to speak in front of Reggie. Jolu, from today on, you will not
You will no longer be the commercial officer of the White Tower Kingdom, and you will no longer be the general of the White Tower Kingdom. You will become the first Marquis of the White Tower Kingdom."
Everyone stopped, and from Joruus to the nobles behind him, everyone's expressions were frozen on their faces.
Ennobled? The White Tower Kingdom has never had a king, so naturally there is no precedent for being ennobled.
The White Tower people have already acquiesced to Matthias's various deviant behaviors, but this time it seems that he has touched an insurmountable line.
The nobles stared at the head of state with stern expressions. Qiaolu was sweating profusely and at a loss.
Mathias showed a smile and touched the blood on the city head.
"Has Nobbs' body been found?"
After a moment of silence, an officer shouted: "We have found him. I will ask the soldiers to carry him up immediately."
"No need, cowards are not qualified to climb the city," Mathias turned to Qiaolu and said, "In the name of the head of state, I canonize you as a marquis."
Qiaolu immediately knelt down and said: "I will defend you with my, my, my flesh and blood..."
The people in the White Tower did not know how to take an oath to accept a reward, but Matthias paid great attention to the integrity of etiquette. He asked the bachelor standing aside to take Qiaolu out of the oath word by word: "I will use my flesh and blood to
Body, defend your life, defend your territory, defend your glory, I will guard you with my flesh and blood until the blood dries up, until the body decays, until the soul is annihilated for you."
"I will give you my bread and salt, I will give you my respect and trust, I will share with you my happiness and joy, I will share with you my pride and glory" Matias for Jolu
After wearing the marquis's crown and badge, these things have been prepared for a long time. It seems that the idea of becoming a knight is not a sudden one.
The head of state turned around and smiled at everyone: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you send your blessing to the Marquis?"
Seeing the chilling smile of the head of state and the wet bloodstains on the city wall, the dissenting nobles instantly understood the situation and saluted the Marquis one after another without daring to say a word.
Seeing the embarrassment of the nobles, Matthias laughed loudly.
In the face of power, it seems that there is no insurmountable limit in this world. Even if there is, it can be severely stepped on.
