The elite troops of the Hou Mansion, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed out when the door was knocked open. On the contrary, the attacking party was caught off guard.
"boom!"
"Chi!"
Led by James himself, the morale of the guards of the Hou Mansion not only did not drop due to the numerical disadvantage, but also reached an extremely high level. Under the leadership of three knights and a senior knight, they quickly defeated a group of 100 men who had just been showing off at the door.
The troops were defeated, and even the senatorial soldiers who rushed up the outer wall on long ladders were also affected, and were suppressed by a small number of guards of the Marquis Mansion.
"what happened!"
"You are not allowed to retreat, anyone who retreats will die!"
James's counterattack, which had been prepared for a long time, quickly stunned the attacking Senate army. Not only the centurions with battering rams at the gate were preparing to attack, but also the two centurions attacking with long ladders.
Affected, the escape of friendly troops is a matter that greatly affects morale. With James's momentum of taking the lead, the three centurions attacked by the Elders changed their charge direction without even counterattacking, and instinctively moved towards their own rear team.
Run in the direction where you are.
"Damn it, order them to run to both sides. Anyone who dares to collide head-on will be shot to death by our formation!"
The ideal is very realistic, but the reality is very skinny. Because the distance between the two sides is too close, and James is chasing closely, he does not give these broken troops a chance to think and rectify, and consciously moves them towards the rear of the Elder Council.
drive away.
With a distance of less than a hundred meters, more than two hundred broken soldiers ran all the way, and they were close to the formation in less than twenty seconds.
"kill!"
Senator Andesa was not polite either. He was one of the senators who had personally experienced a large battle. When he was young, he was the leader of the flag regiment. I cannot say that he is very good at using troops, but he is qualified in terms of decisiveness.
Not only did he directly order the beheading of the deserters who attacked the formation, he also personally picked up his sword and hacked to death a deserter who ran into him in a panic. He didn't even care about the blood splattered all over his body.
The merciless killings of the friendly forces finally had a little deterrent effect. The deserters who had just rushed towards the rear formation obviously hesitated, but soon they had to be coerced by the crowd and continued to escape towards the main formation.
The people in the front row hesitated when they saw the ferocity of the friendly forces, but the people in the back row were chased by James's side. If they fell behind a little, they would be killed by the catching James' sword. The instinct of survival made them
They pushed forward hard and forced the deserters who had hesitated in the front row to continue forward.
"kill!"
"Don't mess up!"
"Everyone who comes towards us is our enemy!"
So what if they coerced the Concorde deserters? Elder Andesa felt that he still had more than 400 people in his hands, so he still had the advantage in terms of quantity. As long as he stabilized this wave of impact, he would soon be able to win with the advantage of quantity. After all, in terms of quality
He said that the soldiers brought by the five senators were no worse than the guards of the Marquis Mansion. They were just caught off guard just now.
"Andesa be careful!"
"clang!"
Standing in front of the chaos and killing the deserters, Elder Andesa immediately realized the danger when he heard someone remind him. He raised his sword to block, but without holding his sword in both hands, he was thrown away by the opponent who attacked him.
Letterman, a great knight, also had no chivalry spirit. He mingled with the pursuing soldiers, consciously approached Andesa, and suddenly launched an attack, leaving Andesa without a chance to retreat.
"Great Knight!"
"What did James give you? We in the Elder Council can give it to you."
After realizing the opponent's strength, Andersa had no intention of continuing the fight with the opponent. Instead, he wanted to draw the opponent to his side. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that James had actually lost the battle and had won this period.
, it is also difficult to secure a position as Beidi Hou.
"Oh? What can you bring out? Do you have the high-level knight's blessing potion?"
"this…"
Senator Andesa hesitated for a moment. He had heard of this potion. Judging from its preciousness, a senator like him couldn't afford it, let alone use it to bribe a great knight. James had it.
There is such a precious thing, no wonder he can recruit a great knight to serve, and this guy is willing to do it.
"It seems that you are gone."
The hesitation of Elder Andesa at that moment was seen by Knight Lightman. Before Andesa could persuade him, Lightman decisively swung his second sword. How could Andesa, who had no weapon in his hand, be able to block this blow?
, I saw the sword in Letterman's hand approaching, and finally Andesa's eyes were filled with only the brilliance of fighting spirit, until he lost consciousness.
"Andesa!"
This group of senators are usually very capable of calculations. To put it bluntly, they are all exquisite egoists, but when it comes to fighting skills, they are not even as good as James, whom they look down upon. At least James has broken
The courage to fight to the death even if the cauldron sinks a ship, and the courage to lead the charge with the soldiers.
Except for Andersa, all the senators were hiding behind the formation, and no one had any intention of taking action. The older they get, the more afraid of death they become. Or maybe after enjoying wealth, they are not as reckless as they were when they were young and just became knights.
Very energetic.
If several knight-level senators had been in front with Andersa just now, Lightman would never have been able to kill Andersa so smoothly. Hold on to this, as long as he wears off the spirit of the palace guards led by James.
, the situation will be reversed.
A great knight could never defeat hundreds of armored elites. Unfortunately, there were no what-ifs. As soon as Andesa died, the pressure-bearing ability of the soldiers of the Senate exceeded that limit. At this time, the remaining senators not only did not stand up
Instead of trying to stabilize morale, they fled. Once they ran away, the ordinary soldiers would no longer persist in resisting. They simply turned around and fled into the streets together with them.
"Don't run away from those old guys!"
"Letterman! Chase!"
James was already dissatisfied with several senators, and had long-standing grievances. This time, the Council of Elders directly organized a rebellion and almost took down the Marquis' Mansion. This made James hate him so much that he didn't want to be an ordinary soldier.
No matter, he definitely wants to kill these elders.
For the sake of the potion, Lightman chased a senator. The unfortunate guy was targeted by the knight. Naturally, he had no chance to escape. Without any decent resistance, Lightman struck him with a sword from behind.
Solved.
"Is this the Lanster family?"
Looking at the opponent's body that fell to the ground with a sword in his back, Letterman showed a sarcastic smile.
…
The battle started and ended quickly. In fact, there were not many casualties on both sides. Except for An who died in the battle and the unlucky guy who was chased by Letterman, the remaining few elders managed to escape from the streets.
They didn't succeed, but they completely brought the contradictions in Piaoxue City to the fore...
