White watched the soldiers rush to the gate of Noli City, and the shield cannons on the city wall bombarded the crowd mercilessly. This bombing caused many families to be separated.
Heavy snow covered their bodies, like a snow-white funeral. The wounded were carried to the medical department, and people screamed and wailed in pain.
"Crash!" Under the city wall, there was a fierce collision between siege vehicles and siege towers. Under the cover of firepower from the crossbow team at the rear, a huge hole was finally exposed in the first city gate.
"The next step is to attack the location of the castle." White murmured to himself.
"Isn't there a moat?"
Xavier was riding on horseback, and they were standing on a hill overlooking the first battlefield. Noli City is located in the northwest of the Noli Peninsula, and is the city closest to the north except Sinto City.
There is a Woin River in the north of Noli, which flows from the northwest port along the triangular sloping terrain. There is also a good hill here, which is conducive to the enemy's attack.
Naturally, the engineers proposed many aspects of construction for this hill, and finally decided to build towers on the hill.
Under the command of Xavier, the rebels cut off the connection between the tower and the city and took the lead in occupying the tower.
The only thing that puzzled Xavier was that the city of Nori, one of the nine capitals of Sentinoa, had no moat!
"Moat? I remember what the Baron said. Because the Winter Sea is too far away from Nori, and there is a cold land to the north of Cinto City, it is difficult to transport water, so we built the inner castle wall and the outer castle wall." White
Turn back.
"In the past, Ye Kelan would fight with Sentinoa in the spring, and Noli became the first gate to the north. However, in the past few years, the battle between Sword Demon and Vientiane made it difficult for Ye Kelan to participate in the war again for a long time,"
Kege paused on the side, "So we signed a peace treaty with our King, so Noli's usefulness becomes weaker year by year."
"If I were His Majesty Man Wenlong, I would have sent our most mysterious Seventh Knight of Santinoa to defeat Ye Kelan in one fell swoop."
Long's voice sounded, and the tip of his teeth was broken when the fire gun was inserted, causing his face to look a little pale.
"Ye Kelan has three thousand goblins under the ice sea, and the strength of the Dragon Heart Knights is even more unfathomable. None of us have ever seen the Seventh Knights. Maybe they are just a legend to intimidate other countries."
Kege shook his head solemnly. He skillfully responded to the battle situation reported by the soldiers and gave corresponding answers.
"Attack the lower city, control Ye Kelan's poor people, and use them as hostages. And control the nobles after entering the city. As long as the nobles are captured, Luo Lei can be blackmailed!"
Keiger issued tactics to a signal soldier.
"When you enter the city, whoever grabs anything will get it, whether it's women or money." Kege looked into the eyes of the signal soldier, and he saw joy in the other's eyes.
"No, you can't harm civilians!" White frowned and looked at Keiger with some disgust.
"Then how do you arouse the passion of the soldiers? White, I have followed the Baron for many years and have personally participated in wars. The winner is the winner and the loser is the enemy. No one will discredit the winner."
Keger looked at White coldly, and he snorted lightly at the latter.
"You let soldiers attack civilians?"
"They are also civilians, so why should civilians treat civilians? During the Battle of Xuanlan, the defeated Xuanlan enshrined all the women as playthings for nobles ranging from marquis to knight minister."
"It was the mysterious Seventh Knights who participated in the war. After they attacked the city, how many civilians were killed by the six-winged armor! But whether it was Ye Kelan, Punokai Fort, or Grant, they all sent a message to Santinoa.
Congratulations on coming."
"Xuanlan's crime is to blaspheme the Holy Religion of Nuoxi! Actually? Who doesn't know that it is Sentinoa who wants to occupy the islands in the southeast and expand the area under his control of the sea!"
"This also made the Coral Gregory family become the fifth largest family. From then on, people can no longer hear the name Xuanlan. It was erased from the map, and the exotic girl with brown hair and black eyes could only live in
I’ve seen it in downtown areas in other countries.”
Keger stared into White's eyes, with a hint of sarcasm, mocking White's naivety.
"But, but..." White looked at Keiger with a livid face. After all, he was just a miner. Compared with Keiger, who had followed the Holmullander family since childhood, his experience was still too little.
"Although I don't know who spread the rumor. But when the Seventh Knights attacked Xuanlan, they only killed the soldiers."
Xavier spoke calmly, and the other four people on the tower turned their heads in surprise.
Xavier clearly remembered the tragedy of that war, and it was also his first time to participate in the war.
During the expedition of the Templar Armored Army, Gregory donated the Coral Family's best ship. What they didn't know was that following the warship were armors carrying forty seraphim.
Xavier was seven years old that year and had just joined the Seventh Knights for less than a year.
Under the orders of the Duke of Richeille, he went on an expedition and appointed the Governor of the Southern Expedition in order to obtain first-class military honors as soon as possible and gain a firm foothold in the army.
In that war, as the weather suddenly dropped, the Templar Armored Division did not carry any clothing to keep out the cold. Coupled with the assault of Xuanlan's army during the icy morning fog, the Templar Armored Division was caught off guard by the southeastern barbarians.
The nobles of Danfeng Boronnet who had a grudge against Richeille immediately began to make trouble. They made accusations in front of His Majesty Man Wenlong, and even caused a stir in the Holy Religion.
In the end, Xavier led the Six-Winged Knights to make a comeback. The moment he cut off the opponent's marshal's head, everyone cheered. In the end, King Xuanlan was crucified on the cross, and before his death, he waited in the Prison of the Dead.
Been on it for a long time.
But this battle made Xavier completely disgusted with war. The woman cried and looked for her husband, the daughter cried on her father, and the mother wailed in front of her son's body.
For the next three days, the entire Xuanlan was like a ruin. Soldiers from Sentinoa were stationed in the imperial city, and the people of Xuanlan were immersed in endless sorrow.
"Repay my father...you despicable foreigners...what have we done wrong, Xuanlan...Xuanlan..."
The petite girl rushed to Xavier's side. She was about to hit Xavier's body with her teeth and fists, but was caught by the soldiers on the side.
"Dad...brother..." The girl was still crying, and the soldier protecting Xavier looked at the girl coldly.
"Your Highness, how should we deal with this girl?"
"Let it go, we have done enough wrong things."
Xavier straightened out his clothes that were messed up by the girl. He was wearing a special small military uniform.
Is this war?
For the first time, Xavier questioned himself in his heart. This was completely different from what he had imagined. There was no joy of victory or cheers of success.
In fact, the moment I embarked on this path, there was no so-called justice, only interests.
What did you do wrong? Why did you destroy your home?
Because you are too weak. In this world of the jungle, the fate of the weak is to be devoured by the strong.
