The Light of Andaya has been under fire for less than a week.
At this time, it was once again besieged by the army.
The black army was like a tide, completely surrounding the Light of Andaya.
A rough visual estimate showed that there were no less than 100,000 people.
On the city wall.
Allen looked around, feeling sad in his heart.
He expected that Andaya would be attacked, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly and so violently.
"Gray Luburg's army is too fast." Allen muttered to himself.
Suddenly, he saw the flag of the enemy army. On the flag, a black deer head was flying.
"This is the family emblem of Grand Duke Roland." Allen's eyes narrowed.
Allen, who once studied at the Royal Capital Knight Academy, is very familiar with the countries surrounding the Eagle Kingdom.
In addition to Castle Gray, which can compete with the Eagle Kingdom for supremacy, there are two principalities that border the Eagle Kingdom, namely the Principality of Said and the Principality of Magnolia.
Among them, the Principality of Magnolia is more powerful than the Principality of Said.
Grand Duke Roland of the Magnolia Principality is not only a powerful blood knight, but the Black Cloud Knights Legion under his command is even more famous.
Looking around, among the 100,000 black cloud knights, the weakest ones are all high-level knights.
The number of extraordinary knights that concern Allen the most is more than one tenth.
In other words, the opponent has an army of extraordinary knights exceeding ten thousand people.
Thinking of this, Allen couldn't help but sweat broke out on his palms.
What is the concept of ten thousand extraordinary troops? It is equivalent to more than three times the strength of one's own side.
More importantly, due to the previous attack on Andaya's Light, the magic defense tower suffered damage and has not yet been repaired.
If you can't count on the magic defense tower, do you have to fight with Archduke Roland?
Since an army had just been sent to conquer other noble territories, the Temple Knights Legion in Allen's hands was less than 3,000 strong.
Three thousand versus ten thousand, plus an army of more than ninety thousand high-ranking knights.
Allen couldn't figure out how to win.
The other world is not like the ancient earth, where the weak can still defeat the strong by relying on strategies.
Under such an absolute disparity in strength, strategies are useless, not to mention that Allen is not a general who is good at strategies.
The Black Cloud Knights were stationed outside the Light of Andaya City, and seemed to have no intention of attacking immediately.
In the main camp tent.
Grand Duke Roland was sitting in the middle, with his vassals in the row on the left and his immediate bodyguard leaders on the right.
Although the Black Cloud Knights Legion is directly under Grand Duke Roland, his vassals are not weak either. Together, they are at least no weaker than Zheng Dong's Temple Knights Legion.
Archduke Roland's true strength is stronger than Allen expected.
"According to the scouts' investigation, Andaya seems to have suffered a rebellion."
"Hahaha."
Hearing this, the nobles below burst into laughter.
"Grand Duke," a nobleman wearing knight armor on the left stood up, "The nobles of Andaya are not only weak, but also stupid. Why don't we directly attack Andaya?"
"Ryan, don't worry."
Grand Duke Roland smiled and said, "Our opponent may not be as weak as we thought."
He paused, "You should know the magic defense tower of Andaya's Light, right?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
"These magic defense towers are products of the Magic Empire period. They are thousands of years old. I believe everyone has heard of their power."
Speaking of this, Grand Duke Roland changed the subject, "But, according to the intelligence I got, the other party actually broke through the magic defense tower."
"What?"
"You are saying that the light of Andaya has changed its owner. How is this possible?"
Everyone in the audience was shocked.
They originally thought that this time they would be facing a turtle shell in their attack on Andaya's Light. As long as they kept using it up, they could always defeat Andaya's Light.
But now, Grand Duke Roland told them that the Light of Andaya had been captured.
This surprised everyone.
"Did Fort Gray Lu take action?" Below, a middle-aged noble said in a deep voice, "Their speed is too fast, they shouldn't be."
Grand Duke Roland shook his head, his eyes were deep: "It's not Gray Luburg."
"Not Gray Luburg?"
"Who could that be?"
"It can't be the Principality of Said, right? Aren't those cowards like them always in retreat?"
Grand Duke Roland raised his hand, and the discussion below suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at him.
"It's Allen." Having said this, Grand Duke Roland's face was also full of confusion.
"Alan?" Everyone frowned when they heard the name.
After a while, an earl stood up and said respectfully: "Grand Duke, who is Allen?"
This sentence finally asked everyone's thoughts. No one has heard of this name.
"Don't tell me you haven't heard of him. I have never heard of this name before. He is a baron from Andaya Province."
"baron?"
"How can this be?"
"How can a mere baron seize the light of Andaya?"
Everyone was completely shocked.
In the Knight Continent, although a person with a high title does not necessarily have strong strength, a low title does not necessarily mean he is weak.
Generally speaking, enfeoffment of titles is based on the size of the territory.
For example, Allen's Blue Harbor Town is just a small town, and including the villages under its jurisdiction, the territory covers only a few dozen square kilometers.
The original territory of Viscount Winter's Whale Harbor was almost five or six times the size of Blue Harbor Town.
Only by having a vast territory can you accumulate more wealth and cultivate more knights.
With a baron and a territory as big as the palm of his hand, it would be difficult to even cultivate an extraordinary knight. How could he have the strength to seize the light of Andaya?
Hearing the questions from the vassals, Grand Duke Roland was also very puzzled.
"That's exactly why I ordered a break."
Grand Duke Roland said slowly.
It would be foolish to attack rashly without knowing clearly the reality of the enemy.
Even if the Light of Andaya is captured by then, Archduke Roland, who suffered heavy losses, may not be able to keep the fruits of the war.
You know, there is a more ferocious beast outside Andaya Province.
If he suffers heavy losses, not to mention that Castle Gray will be interested, even the Principality of Said, which he considers to be weak, may not dare to raise troops to attack him.
...
The city wall of Andaya's Light is full of gaps, and the gaps are covered with black marks, whether they were burned by fire or stained by blood.
These are the wounds left by the attack of the Temple Knights.
Now, before Allen even had time to repair the city wall, Archduke Roland came to the city with his troops, as if he would not give up until he took the light of Andaya.
On the city wall, the temple knights coming and going had firm eyes and no fear on their faces.
Suddenly, Zheng Dong's figure appeared in front of everyone.
"god!"
Seeing Zheng Dong, everyone fell to their knees.
The big stone in Allen's heart suddenly disappeared the moment he saw Zheng Dong.
"Get up."
Zheng Dong's voice appeared in everyone's ears.
After hearing this, Allen led the temple knights to stand up slowly, bowed and stood next to Zheng Dong, waiting for instructions.
