Chapter 261 Return to aid (the chapter has been changed)
"Your Holiness, what should we do next?"
Mi Xiu and others have arrived at a place not far from Ironwood City and can observe the small city from a close distance. In order not to attract attention, the large army temporarily stayed in a camp in front to rest. Mi Xiu and Hou
Sain and several other bishops are here to check it out.
Ironwood City has arrived, but at this moment, the city gates are closed because it has entered a state of war. The city is full of soldiers patrolling intensively, and they are on high alert. There are still a lot of black and gray stains burned by kerosene on the walls.
Obviously, this small town is the target of attack by the nearby orcs.
Although according to the location given by the divine envoy, the so-called blasphemers should be in this small city, but now it is obvious that they cannot enter through normal methods. Among these people, only Mi Xiu has the ability to reach the height of a soldier.
Enter the city calmly and with caution.
"Wait a minute, this city is the territory of Marquis Richard, and the orcs may be in trouble."
Compared with the backward intelligence of the orcs, Mi Xiu had a much higher opinion of the strength of the Hunter family, at least for those who had fought against them before. Mi Xiu didn't know that Richard had used a cheating treasure like an angel necklace to obtain it by force.
With the strength of the sky level,
From Mi Xiu's point of view, Richard is a strong man who is as strong as himself. He has subordinates who can compete with masters like Hussein. He should not be beaten by a small orc army. The most likely person is Li Cha.
The police are not in the city for the time being, and now it seems that the defenders of Ironwood City are cowering and not daring to move out, allowing the orcs to plunder.
But actually looking at the traces on the battlefield, it was obvious that the orcs had tried to attack the city but were repulsed. Even when Richard was away, the orcs were unable to break into this small town. When Richard came back, what kind of trouble could this orc team cause?
"But, Master Mixiu, the blasphemer we are looking for should be in the city."
"It doesn't matter, as long as people are in the city, they can't escape."
"I mean, does the blasphemer have something to do with the Hunter family? Why don't we take advantage of it now?"
Hussein, who is the second master of the church, has been standing silently beside Mi Xiu without speaking. Instead, the bishop of the central diocese was trying to remind Mi Xiu of something. When the power of the Rising Sun Cult was exposed in the Golden Dragon City, the Rising Sun Cult on the central plains
The church couldn't stay for the time being, and the bishop of the central diocese who was originally active on the central plain also followed Mi Xiu to the north.
The bishop's worry is not unreasonable, and the trend is even obvious. If you want to say that the sudden appearance of the blasphemer happened to appear in Ironwood City, the home of the Hunter family, it has nothing to do with the Hunter family. It is all a coincidence.
If so, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?
Because of Mi Xiu's previous actions of killing the orcs, the bishop didn't even dare to finish his words. He originally wanted to propose using the opportunity of the orcs' siege to help the orcs break Ironwood City in one fell swoop and cause chaos in the city. In this way, the power of the Hunter family would be destroyed by the orc warriors.
Involving them would be more helpful for them to deal with the blasphemer,
But remembering the scene where Mi Xiu was chasing the orcs and even revolting against the divine envoys, the bishop did not dare to say this suggestion out loud, and could only give Mi Xiu a few vague reminders.
Mi Xiu was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"No, after the orcs are defeated and order is restored in Ironwood City, I will go in alone, find the blasphemer, deal with him, and then leave."
"well…"
Reliance on force, stubbornness, and benevolence of a woman.
The long series of complaints finally turned into a sigh from the bishop's mouth, but Hussein on the side breathed a sigh of relief. To a certain extent, Hussein, like Misu, was very resistant to colluding with foreign races.
The release of trolls from the southern diocese to divert Thor's energy was already the most difficult decision Misuo had ever made. After all, that time was to complete the central flowering at the core of the Golden Dragon Kingdom and restore the status of the divine religion as the state religion in one fell swoop.
In a sense, a person with a high moral threshold like Mi Xiu is not suitable to be the leader of a force, but in this world, sometimes the one with the big fist is the boss, and most of the time, Mi Xiu's strength can make up for him.
In terms of other flaws, the only time he suffered setbacks was when he met Richard.
"Don't worry, I'm sure this time."
Mi Xiu himself also had some concerns. With his high-level strength in the sky, and the fact that he could not feel the depth of the divine messenger in the scepter,
As long as he doesn't take the initiative to fight against a large number of troops, it will be difficult for ordinary troops to stop him from arresting and killing people in the city. He doesn't care about the power of the Hunter family. In his opinion, the only one in the Hunter family is
There was only one Richard who deserved his serious attention, and he had full confidence to defeat the opponent in a short time this time.
The bishop did not continue to give advice. Everyone in the church knew what kind of temper Mi Xiu was. No matter how much others tried to persuade him on the matters he decided, it would be useless. And the envoy who had been giving orders before had been disobeyed by Mi Xiu once.
It also calmed down, and no one could change Mi Xiu's mind.
Everyone could only look at Ironwood City behind Mi Xiu with various expressions, as if there was a girl in the city that they thought about day and night.
…
"what is that?"
"Dragon Knight?"
Just when everyone in the Rising Sun Sect was following Mi Xiu and standing silently with their own thoughts, a huge figure suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance. Even though they were far away, everyone could imagine its huge size.
Because the figure in the distance was too familiar to them. It was the obstacle that all those who tried to oppose the Golden Dragon Kingdom could not get around - the giant dragon.
If you look carefully, you can see that there are not only the silhouette of the giant dragon in the sky in the distance, but also more small black spots around it, but one giant dragon is enough to attract everyone's attention.
"It doesn't seem like a giant dragon, right?"
"No, it's just a dragon from another tribe."
Although the default dragons in the eyes of many humans are only the golden dragon and the green dragon, there are many well-informed people in the church who naturally know that there are not only two kinds of dragons in the world, the golden dragon and the green dragon, but also a variety of dragons with different attributes.
.
Although the color of the giant dragon in the distance is a bit unfamiliar, judging from its outline, there is no doubt that it is a giant dragon.
"That's a red dragon, but they should live in the volcanic land further east. Why do they appear in the north?"
Black dragons and red dragons both like hot environments. Although with the dragon's physique, colder weather will not have much impact on them, but the cold north will definitely not have any attraction to them. It is important to understand the red dragon.
For people who love dragons, the appearance of this creature in the North is quite outrageous.
"Did the treacherous Charman family reach another agreement with the Black Dragon clan?"
In the eyes of people in the church, what Aragorn did back then was treachery. Those high-level church officials would not tell later people that it was their first failed attempt to attack Aragorn that led the kingdom to launch a crackdown on the Rising Sun Cult.
.
"Probably not. The kingdom's dragon knights are very precious. The Northland is not worthy of the kingdom sending a dragon knight."
"If you're not a dragon knight from the kingdom, are you still from the Hunter family?"
"why not?"
There was a smile on Mi Xiu's lips as he answered. Things seemed to be getting more and more interesting in his eyes. The Hunter family actually had the support of a giant dragon. Just talking about being powerful and invincible in the eyes of others.
When he saw the giant dragon, Mi Xiu's tone was very relaxed,
A red dragon is only as powerful as a green dragon, and is equivalent to a half-step sky-level expert in strength. Now Mi Xiu is confident that he can defeat even a golden dragon in his prime, let alone a red dragon.
"Roar!"
Chilong's next actions completely confirmed everyone's guesses. After circling for two times, Chilong seemed to have chosen a target.
A mouthful of flame dragon breath was sprayed down. Looking in that direction, there were obvious traces of orc activity. This was Ironwood City's reinforcements.
"boom!"
At this time, in an orc camp, a large number of orcs were in chaos. They didn't know how the giant dragon that should be restrained on the front line of Longxing Pass suddenly appeared in the North.
This sudden attack directly caused the death of several orc warriors, and the orc warriors who lacked large ordnance had no means of counterattack.
Even if these orcs are selected elites, they cannot stand and die where they are.
"Roar!"
"boom!"
Another breath of dragon breath came out, and this time the orcs reacted. Not only were they on guard, but they also dispersed a lot. This time, only two or three orcs were injured or killed.
"boom!"
Just when Chilong was about to continue bullying the orcs below who had no countermeasures, a scarlet fighting spirit burst out from the camp. However, this time Chilong was in a higher position and had certain defenses. This blow was huge.
Part of it was dodged by the red dragon, and only a few scales on its back were scratched.
The originally grumpy red dragon, no matter whether he was seriously injured or not, would definitely get angry if he was scratched by someone, and he might rush down to fight with someone, but this red dragon gradually increased its height and circled the orcs.
After walking around the camp, he decisively turned around and left.
Only then did the beasts notice that there were not only giant dragons in the sky, but also some relatively small strange creatures. They seemed to have followed the giant dragon, but they did not leave with the giant dragon.
They stayed behind and started to circle around the orc camp at high altitude, and some of them scattered and flew to other places, as if leaving behind a pair of eyes...
"boom!"
"what happened!"
"Why is there a giant dragon? Where does this dragon come from?"
Nuno, the commander of the orc army, has completely exploded at this moment. Things have been going wrong since he came out of the Iron Wood Forest. He wanted to take a small city as an advance base and supply depot, but he did not expect that this city was unexpectedly difficult to chew, and the losses were
He defeated many troops, but was still beaten back. He attacked a small human city. The determination of the defenders inside actually made him feel as if he was attacking a military fortress near Longxing Pass. He was gnashing his teeth.
Today he received another report. The human knights were completely under their surveillance. They had been wandering around the periphery and had no intention of attacking the plundering team. However, one of the people he sent out unexpectedly disappeared inexplicably.
The result of the inspection was that all members were killed. Although this team only had a few dozen people, they were all elite orcs wearing hard-wearing armor and were led by a peak warrior. According to the intelligence, such a configuration would not be possible unless they were besieged by a human army.
Otherwise, you can almost walk sideways in the northern land of mankind.
But they were all killed so quietly? When the human knights did not move, no matter how much Nuno wanted to break his head, he would not have thought that this team bumped into Mi Xiu and was slaughtered by Ya Xiu with passion.
.
In order to prevent this kind of accident from happening again, Nuno immediately ordered the orcs who were still having fun outside to return to the camp to assemble immediately. Anyway, the surrounding human villages were really rich, and the supplies they had plundered were enough to last for a long time.
But just when Nuno was scratching his scalp to find out the reason why all members of this team died, the camp was suddenly attacked by a giant dragon. This dragon was not the common golden dragon or green dragon on the human side, but the main
The black dragon Red Dragon that inhabits the eastern volcanic areas,
Everything that happened one after another was strange, and Nuno's confidence had been shaken. If the cities in the hinterland of mankind were as difficult to defeat as Ironwood City, then what was the point of breaking the Dragon's Breath Pass?
"Lord Legion Commander, a human army has appeared to the north of us."
After hearing the scout's report, Nuno stopped his random thoughts and decided to deal with the matter at hand first.
Nuno was actually considering retreating to the Ironwood Forest for a long-term plan, but he did not expect that a human army would appear on his retreat path.
"How many of them are there?"
Nuno was slightly nervous when he asked this question. Things were really not going well these past few days, which made him feel like he had fallen into a trap.
"Less than two thousand people."
"call."
Nuno breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with other things, the two thousand human reinforcements seemed to him the easiest to solve.
Based on his experience, with a legion of orc warriors, he would dare to fight at least five or six human legions. In extreme cases, it would not be impossible to defeat ten human legions. This is the huge gap in the individual strength of the soldiers on both sides.
Although there are not many people with him now, they are all elite forces, which are stronger than ordinary orc warriors. Even if there is an army of 10,000 humans, he will not be afraid.
These two thousand people turned out to be the best ones to deal with in his eyes.
"Lord Legion Commander, the human knights are also heading north. They should be planning to join up with each other."
Hearing this, Nuno's expression became slightly serious. The cavalry team composed entirely of human knights was not easy to deal with. If it weren't for them, Ironwood City would have been captured before even if its defense capabilities exceeded expectations.
After thinking for a while, Nuno made a decision.
"Send the order, the entire army must assemble and prepare for battle!"
"yes!"
The messenger quickly rushed out to convey Nuno's order. No matter what, they must break through the human army in the north first, otherwise they would not even be able to fight if their retreat was cut off.
…
North of Ironwood City
Richard, who had been marching urgently, finally came back. After confirming through the royal griffon that Ironwood City had not been captured, Richard breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer as anxious as before.
In order to rush on the road, Richard left the slower dead wood warriors in the Iron Wood Forest and led his men to run wildly. This marching speed exhausted the few orc warriors who followed him into the forest. The orcs could enjoy
Without the bonus of Richard's skills and treasures, in their eyes, the rapid march of this army was simply outrageous. What was even more outrageous was that no one was left behind.
"Da da da…"
Just when Richard took a breath, Hardman, who discovered the traces of Richard's army, immediately came with the Red Flame Knights to join Richard.
"Lord Richard!"
Arriving in front of and behind Richard, Harden immediately got off his horse and saluted Richard.
At this moment, Richard couldn't care less about being polite and asked first:
"How is the situation in the city?"
"The soldiers suffered relatively heavy losses, but they did not allow the orcs to attack. Master Sauter and the others are all fine."
“…”
Hardman briefly told Richard what happened in the past few days to reassure Richard first.
"Hardman, you did a good job."
"It's everyone's credit."
"I know your merits, can you still fight now?"
"I am willing to die for my lord."
"Then prepare to continue fighting. Don't let go of any orc..."
