The heavy sound of rolling horse hooves could be heard from far away. Sneko, who was waiting anxiously in the Viscount's Mansion, knew that something was wrong as soon as he heard the sound. There were not so many cavalry in his city, such a powerful cavalry.
The team must belong to the enemy. The enemy has breached the city gate? How did they do it?
Sneko couldn't help but think about it. He immediately wanted to put on casual clothes and run out from the back door to hide in the city to avoid being caught. But it was too late. Before he could even find his clothes, he heard several screams coming from outside.
, was the voice of the guards, and then the door was kicked open. The fastest Aldridge and two Eclipse Knights had arrived.
Their special war horses were extremely fast. When they arrived, the heavily armored cavalry had just finished half the distance. Aldridge slowly walked up to Sneko with his blood-drinking sword in hand, his armor covered with
The splattered blood was flowing strangely towards Aldridge's right hand, and then gathered on the sword and was absorbed.
Seeing this scene, Sneko's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.
"Hello, Sir Snake, let me introduce myself. I am Aldridge Norton, currently serving for Count Fernando and His Highness the Sixth Prince." Aldridge took off his helmet and handed it to the knight beside him.
"Sixth Prince!" Snake suddenly understood what was going on.
"Are you from the Sixth Prince?" Sneko couldn't help but ask the question knowingly.
"Yes, we tried to win over you before, but unfortunately you ended up joining the second prince's men." Sneko thought of the previous group, but the person who wanted to win over him did not report the name of the sixth prince.
But now that I think about it, their hints were already very obvious. It was unclear whether they were afraid of his high density, but the second prince's envoy had already arrived at the territory at that time, so Sneko didn't take that group of people seriously at all.
"We can also give you one last chance to kneel down and surrender. If the Sixth Prince is in a good mood, you may be able to continue to rule Eagle Cave City, but to be honest, it is really a waste to leave such a city to you to rule."
"I have asked His Highness the Second Prince for reinforcements. The reinforcements will be back soon. If you withdraw now, you still have a chance!" Sneko tried to increase his bargaining chips. Submitting to the Sixth Prince was something he had never considered from beginning to end. This group of people
He may be very strong, but the Sixth Prince does not have any power or support on the surface. Aldridge and Fernando alone cannot compare with the Second Prince, and defecting to the First Prince is not as reliable as defecting to the Sixth Prince.
But Sneko didn't expect Aldridge to act out of common sense.
"It's so naive. It's a pity. I've already given you a chance. I'll do what I said, and I'll give it only once!" After saying the last word, Aldridge's eyes narrowed, and then he quickly swung his sword to wipe it.
Passed Sneko's neck. By the time Sneko reacted and covered his neck, blood was already spurting out uncontrollably.
"Sir Snake cared about the soldiers and personally went to battle to supervise the soldiers. However, because he wore the same armor as an ordinary officer, our soldiers could not distinguish his identity. In the end, Sir Snake was killed by an ordinary soldier. I
The army has severely punished the soldier, but it can only express its deep regret and say so to the outside world."
Then Aldridge said to the adjutant beside him, and at this time the remaining cavalry arrived belatedly.
"By the way, tell Meluses that the plan has changed. Sneko has requested reinforcements. We will stay here for a few more days. At the same time, the patrols on the city wall should be as loose as possible. It is best to attract the reinforcements to attack.
There won't be too many of them, we are fully capable of eating them, and destroying them can be regarded as reducing the enemy's effective strength!"
Aldridge then began to quickly command other soldiers to take over the city.
Two days later, Sneko's so-called reinforcements had not yet arrived, but Ronan had already arrived at the city of Lobelen. Seeing the army pressing down on the border, the governor of Lobelen had no idea what was going on, and Ronan did not send an envoy.
Negotiate driving with them.
According to the news from Ravenluck, Lobelon's navy has been completely involved by them, and Lobelon's navy is not large in quantity and of high quality, because pirates are not as rampant along the coast of Gaoling as in Holy Cross and Hinterlands.
Ravenluck said that he could completely annihilate Loberon's navy, and Ronan didn't have to worry about it. Ronan was also very relieved of him, but he just asked some ships to be captured if they could, and to try not to cause too much damage.
After seeing that Ronan's side had no intention of negotiating with them and instead directly launched a surprise attack, the governor of Loberon also responded quickly, and the few defenders immediately mobilized and stood at their respective posts.
But the private armies of the inland nobles have really experienced too few battles. They are not like the northern land where the sand people are constantly resisting and bandits are rampant, nor are they like the eastern nobles who are constantly in friction with the Eagle.
They in the southwest have no such experience at all, and many of the new recruits who enlisted this year are already a little weak in the legs.
Ronan led the soldiers to launch a surprise attack without saying a word, giving Lobelen a short time to react. However, Ronan wanted to test his limits, so the soldiers did not immediately start climbing the city after arriving at the city, but instead covered the city.
Ronan arrived at the opening of the city gate.
Ronan pulled up his mask to reveal his face, with strength brewing in his chest. As he felt that his momentum and the dragon soul power accumulated in his chest and throat had reached their peak, Ronan tried his best to roar towards the city gate:
"Fus Ro Dah!!!" The huge sound turned into a shock wave and swept towards the wooden city gate, and then hit the city gate hard. This dragon roar was used by the ancient dragonborn to destroy the city wall, but
Ronan's dragon soul power is still weak, so he doesn't know how far he can reach his limit.
But the result did not disappoint Ronan. Although he was still far away from destroying the city wall like the ancient dragonborn, his dragon roar hit the city gate and caused huge damage to the wooden city gate.
The location connected to the surrounding city gate openings was slightly broken. The city gate as a whole moved back a little distance. The wooden surface was covered with cracks, and the three thick baffles behind the door were also broken off.
Although the city gate could not be blown away directly, the fact that this move was true shocked the soldiers on the city wall and behind the city gate. They didn't know what Ronan had done. They thought it was an earthquake because even the city wall had shaken just now.
For a moment, they couldn't imagine that this could be done by humans.
The soldiers on Ronan's side became even more morale after seeing this scene. The system soldiers were fine, but the civilian soldiers shouted Ronan's name loudly as if they had seen a miracle.
