Chapter 798: Imperial Intervention (3 Chapters in 1)

Remember【】in a second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.

The Grand Knight Commander Job was the first to arrive at the city of Biri, and he did not take the initiative to attack the city of Biri.

He is well aware of how terrible the defense of a principality's capital is. Unless it is forced to open a gap with crushing forces, it will fall into a battlefield of blood and blood.

Therefore, he would not use the three thousand knights from the Taikos Principality to attack the city. On the one hand, he had to wait for the subsequent siege machinery to be transported here, and on the other hand, he also had to wait for the actions of the other three principalities.

And when the other three principalities also arrived, a strange phenomenon appeared under the city of Biri. None of the four principalities had the idea of ​​attacking first.

The Grand Knight Commanders of the four principalities all knew one thing very well. They were knights, and siege was not their strong point, and the first batch of siege would face the strongest resistance.

There are two options before them:

One is that the four duchies fought together, and after the city of Biri was captured, the spoils were distributed;

There are many problems in this. The relationship between the four principalities is not friendly. There is too much filth among them. No one can guarantee whether they will be tricked by teammates when they cooperate in battle.

You must know that these knight legions are the fighting power of each principality and the whole country. Once the loss is too large, it may reduce the national strength.

In the extraordinary period when the crop production has been continuously reduced, once the national power is reduced, they will become the second Principality of Keen, which is what no one wants to see.

Therefore, the feasibility of coordinated operations is not high, and it is more likely to fight independently.

The second is to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and at the same time the siege machinery will also arrive, and the successor army will attack Biri City.

This is actually the best method. No principality can afford the loss of knights' siege, so professionally trained siege shield soldiers are still required to complete this task.

But the disadvantage of this is that it takes a lot of time to wait for the shield soldiers who are infantry to come.

The four principalities gathered here and formed four different camps outside the city of Biri, monitoring each other. The mutual distrust between them made no principality want to take the initiative to attack the city of Biri at this time.

That is, while waiting, the commanders of the four principality legions all received the information,

The Kingdom of St. Ellis has sent troops.

Now it is a race against time. If the siege shields and siege machines of the four principalities can arrive first, then the four principalities can break open the last capital of the Principality of Keene, Biri City, and let the Principality of Keene destroy the country .

At that time, even if the army of the Kingdom of St. Ellis came, there was no way to restore the final result.

On the third day of waiting, the hot weather and tense atmosphere made people both inside and outside the city anxious.

At this moment, Grand Knight Commander Job suddenly felt flustered, and he asked the adjutant beside him in a deep voice, "Has the scout returned yet?"

"My lord, three batches of scouts have been sent out, and none of them have returned yet!" The adjutant replied with a puzzled face.

"Damn it, send again, send out all the scouts!" The Grand Knight Captain Job shouted loudly.

His palpitation just now was a natural reaction of his spiritual sense, which meant that danger was approaching, but he didn't know where the danger came from.

Just as he yelled, the ground began to tremble, and the experienced man immediately yelled: "Attention, form an formation, and prepare for defense!"

Speaking of which, he had rushed out of the tent and jumped on his horse outside the tent, while several messenger officers waiting outside the tent were already riding on their horses, shouting loudly: "My lord orders, form an formation, defend! "

This knight army composed of 3,000 knights reacted extremely quickly. In a short time, all the knights had ridden on their horses, rushed to the temporary camp, and formed an formation outside the camp.

The same is true for the other three duchies. The knights who came here earlier were all knights, and only the strength of the knights can attack here so quickly.

There are more than 10,000 knights in total in the four principalities, forming four defensive formations, and their eyes are all on the marching knight army in the distance.

The knight legion that came was almost boundless, with 10,000 people, boundless, and a full 20,000 knights were enough to make the legions of the four principalities with a maximum of two or three thousand knights look pale.

The fluttering battle flag of the Kingdom of St. Ellis led the 20,000 knight legion at the forefront of the knight legion.

The marching speed of the Knight Legion is not fast. All the horses are trotting forward. This method saves horsepower and can march for a long time. In addition, the knights can use the fighting spirit to nourish the horses, which makes this trotting horses It can run almost continuously for more than ten hours.

This technique was learned from the wolf cavalry of the orc empire, and was later promoted by the knight legions of the three human empires.

"The knights of the Kingdom of St. Alice are here!" Grand Knight Jobe knew where his scouts had gone, and met the knights of the most powerful empire in the Holy Continent. How could those scouts compete with this knights? compared to the scouts.

All the knights in the Knights Legion of the Kingdom of St. Ellis wore uniform black armor. None of the knights spoke during the advance, and even the horses could only hear the sound of breathing instead of neighing.

Only at this time did Grand Knight Commander Job realize the gap between the Principality and the Empire. His 3,000 knights were already the full strength of the Principality, but the Empire had 20,000 knights when it dispatched.

And just looking at the marching momentum of the knight army of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, it is not comparable to his three thousand knights.

Maybe his three thousand knights couldn't even resist the opponent's charge, which made his confidence built up by his recent consecutive victories gone.

The Kingdom of St. Ellis has not shown its fangs for many years, and many duchies have forgotten its horrors.

The Knights of the Kingdom of St. Alice stopped 400 meters away from the defensive formation of the four Principality Knights. This is the best distance for a knight to attack each other.

If the Knights of the Kingdom of St. Ellis were to launch an attack, then the distance of four hundred meters would be enough for the Knights to run and increase their speed to the peak.

And stopping here, it happened to be outside the long-range attack range of the Knight Legion of the Four Principalities.

Among the knights of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, the eldest prince Alec, wearing a golden armor and a red cloak, rode out on a pure white horse, followed by four great knights behind him .

"His Majesty Emperor Ambrose of the Kingdom of St. Ellis orders the Principality of Taikos..." The eldest prince Alec glanced at the knights of the Principality of Taikos, and then said: "Withdraw all the territories that have invaded the Principality of Keene!"

"Follow the order!" The Grand Knight Commander Jobe sighed softly, and immediately bowed in response.

In the past, the Kingdom of St. Ellis did not send troops, so no matter what they said, they could delay, but a whole 20,000 knight army was in front of them. If they refused to give in at this time, the knights they brought would really not be able to go back.

The consequence is that the strength of the Principality of Taikos will drop sharply, and then it will be squeezed by other principalities, even like the Principality of Keen, it will almost be destroyed.

"The Principality of Larvi withdrew from all the territory that invaded the Principality of Keen!" The eldest prince Alec turned his eyes to the Principality of Larvi, with a stern look in his eyes.

"Follow the order!" the commander of the Larvi Principality bowed helplessly.

Grand Prince Alec was very annoyed by the behavior of the Principality of Larvi this time, because the Principality of Larvi is close to the Kingdom of St. Ellis, and the empire has always taken good care of it, but this time the Principality of Larvi has calculated Kingdom of St. Ellis.

The Kingdom of St. Ellis was at its weakest at this time. There was no problem with its defense, but it was unable to send troops. If it weren't for Abel's help, the empire might lose its dominant position this time.

"The Principality of Raqqa withdrew all the territories that invaded the Principality of Keen!" the eldest prince Alec turned his eyes to the Knights of the Principality of Raqqa and said in a deep voice.

"Follow the order!" the commander of the Principality of Raqqa responded.

"The Principality of Koror withdrew all the territory that invaded the Principality of Keen!" Alec, the eldest prince, turned his eyes to the Knights of the Principality of Koror and said in a deep voice.

"Follow the order!" The commander of the Principality of Koror responded.

"At the same time, the four principalities should compensate the empire for the consumption of this dispatch of troops!" the eldest prince Alec continued.

This is a very stingy request, but the premise of this request is that the Kingdom of St. Ellis did not ask the four duchies to return the looted loot when they withdrew, but chose to take part of the loot for themselves.

On the walls of Biri City, King Kenneth also saw the extremely powerful knight army, and the gloom on his face for many days was involuntarily swept away.

"The Kingdom of St. Ellis has not abandoned us, His Majesty Ambrose is triumphant!" King Kenneth roared ecstatically.

"Your Majesty Ambrose is victorious!" All the knights and warriors on the city wall roared loudly, and the sudden departure of the imminent war made them ecstatic.

In the hearts of King Kenneth and his people, the Kingdom of St. Ellis came to save them like a savior.

They never imagined that this army of savior knights who came to save them was sharing their lost wealth with the invaders.

The eldest prince Alec didn't ask about the next thing. He had related knights to hand over the four principalities. As for the cost of sending troops, it was naturally decided by the powerful Kingdom of St. Ellis.

In half a day, Grand Knight Commander Job of Taikos Principality left with his Knight Legion, and he was not very happy when he left.

The Kingdom of St. Ellis was too ruthless, so ruthless that after the battle of the Duchy of Taikos, the harvest became very little.

It wasn't his family that was injured, and the other three principalities were not in a good mood when they left.

Although the four duchies harvested a lot, the food contained in them offset their consumption along the way. In addition, the Keen Duchy's own grain was also insufficient due to reduced production, so the amount of grain obtained was not particularly large.

The Kingdom of St. Ellis, on the other hand, almost all asked for food, but did not ask for too much wealth from the aristocratic castles and cities.

The main reason why the four principalities attacked the Principality of Keen was food. They needed food. It was their strategy to destroy a principality to support them. But seeing that everything was successful, they were directly robbed by the Kingdom of St. Ellis. achieved victory.

But they didn't dare to resist. They realized the gap between the empire and the principality, and this gap made them pay the price as required.

"They're gone!" Cheers rang out again on the city wall of Biri City, and the people on the city wall watched the knight legions leave one after another, and the joy in their hearts was beyond words.

King Kenneth has also been worried. He is afraid that the Kingdom of St. Ellis will change his mind. When he saw the knight legions of the four duchies leaving one after another, the big stone in his heart was finally relieved.

He saw the big prince Alec in golden armor coming towards the city gate with four big knight commanders, and hurriedly ordered loudly: "Quickly open the city gate and welcome the envoy of the Kingdom of St. Ellis!"

He also hurriedly adjusted his robes, walked down from the city wall, and waited outside the city gate.

The behavior of the eldest prince Alec reassured King Kenneth, because the eldest prince Alec only brought four grand knight commanders, which in itself expressed the goodwill of the Kingdom of St. Ellis.

At this time, if he asked to bring thousands of knights into the city, King Kenneth would not dare to refuse, and in that case, King Kenneth would put his life in the hands of the eldest prince Alec.

"His Royal Highness Alec, welcome!" King Kenneth took the initiative to step forward and bowed in salute.

Although his behavior seemed very humble, but he had just been rescued from the brink of annihilation, and his arrogance was long gone.

"Your Majesty King Kenneth, I have come to rescue the Principality of Keene under the orders of His Majesty Emperor Ambrose of the Kingdom of St. Ellis. Please forgive me for the delay in the rescue!" the eldest prince Alec bowed back and said.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the Principality of Keene is deeply grateful to see the powerful legion of the empire and save the Principality of Keene!" King Kenneth hurriedly bowed again.

The polite tone of the eldest prince Alec made him very uneasy, because he heard a request from his tone.

Yes, a requirement. This requirement is the rule of the Holy Continent. For rescue between countries, the rescued country should bear all the expenses of the rescued country.

In fact, the Kingdom of St. Ellis, as the suzerain country, came here not entirely for rescue, but to clarify its own status, and the eldest prince Alec said that there was only one purpose, which was to make the Principality of Keene bear the burden of 20,000 knights. Consumption of the army.

The consumption of an army of 20,000 knights is a huge expenditure for the Principality of Keen, which has retreated to only one city, so huge that it is almost unbearable.

"Your Majesty King Kenneth, the Knights can't stay outside forever. We will return to the empire immediately. Please hand over the rescue costs to my deputy so that I can let the Knights go immediately!" the eldest prince Alec said directly.

He didn't care too much about King Kenneth. As long as the Principality of Keene was not destroyed by other principalities, even if it was caused by a lack of food that caused civil uprisings and eventually perished, this had little to do with the empire.

There is no official wizard in the Principality of Keen, so there is no ultimate means of protection. If you don't exploit more now, you don't know who will give you the cheap money in the future!

This is the idea of ​​the eldest prince Alec. Before he came, he had already decided the final fate of the Principality of Keen, and it would be fine if the country did not die immediately.

"His Royal Highness Alec, the Principality of Keen may not be able to afford the consumption of the 20,000 knights. Please reduce some, or allow me to return it in years!" King Kenneth begged.

"King Kenneth, do you think our St. Ellis kingdom is easy to bully? No one dares to rely on our empire's account. The consumption of the 20,000 knight legion, if you dare to lose a gold coin, I will send my knight legion Go to the city to get it yourself!" The eldest prince Alec said sharply with a cold gleam in his eyes.

When the eldest prince Alec left with 20,000 knights, what was left behind was King Kenneth's desperate eyes.

In this war that covered the five principalities, no one benefited in the end. The final winner was the Kingdom of St. Ellis. They only got food from Abel for sending troops, but in the end they replenished more than double the consumption.

The result was that the Principality of Keen became extremely weak. They lost countless troops and civilians, and the loss of food was so huge that even the next season's seeds became a problem.

The Kingdom of St. Ellis also demonstrated its strength through this war, suppressing the eager ambitions of the principalities.

But this war is like opening Pandora's box, and the entire human world has been affected.

All the principalities have discovered the current predicament of the empire from the hesitation of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, and the food shortage problem in their own country has become more and more serious. This has caused many principalities to turn their attention to the weak principalities around them.

All this has nothing to do with Abel. The Principality of Cameron has always maintained a stable state. The sufficient food supply has given the people of the Principality a strong sense of belonging to the Principality, and the Principality has also become very attractive to residents of other principalities. .

This has also led to the constant increase in the population of the Principality of Cameron. Although Abel has formulated a strict immigration policy before, the intermarriage between nobles over the years has allowed many foreign noble relatives of the nobles in the Principality of Cameron to come. defected.

The arrival of foreign aristocrats is not a family, but an entire family, which brings a large number of fighters, knights and other combatants, as well as countless non-combatants.

This is a process of slow change. Unknowingly, the Principality of Kamai is slowly becoming stronger.

Especially in the past two years, the miraculous bread provided by the wizarding circle of Harry Castle, as well as a large number of knight training potions, have caused an explosive growth in the number of knights in the Principality of Cameron.

And with Abel's help, and with the help of the powerful promotion potion 'Dragon's Blood Breaking Potion', the Principality of Cameron has five more Grand Knight Commanders.

In the sky of Harvest City, fourteen Griffin Knights are guarding the secrets of this land in the sky. Among them are four Great Griffin Knight Leaders and ten Griffin Knights who have just grown up.

Although these Griffin Knights are not yet powerful, with their equipped Harry Bow, the enemies under the Grand Knight Commander are basically the result of instant kills.

At this time, the Principality of Kamai is like a growing tiger, although it is still immature, it has already begun to show its fangs.

After trading food with the Kingdom of St. Ellis, Abel no longer interfered in the principality's affairs. He returned to the magic tower and continued to practice.

On the second underground floor of the Lugoin Palace in the dark world, Abel spent nearly half a month on the Holy Land to clean up all the hell creatures here, and put all the artworks into the space items.

At the same time, Abel also discovered the passage leading to the palace prison. The palace prison has three floors, and the hell creatures here are more powerful.

A terrifying archer who can cast magic arrows to attack.

A terrifying mage who can cast fire, electricity, ice, and poison spells to attack enemies, and the casting speed of spells is extremely fast.

Intruders can use 'Fire Strengthening' to enhance their own attack power.

Three terrifying hell creatures made Abel have to be careful here, moving forward bit by bit, cleaning room by room.

As time passed day by day, his strength was also improving at a visible speed. This improvement was mainly due to the consumption of daily meditation.

After being an intermediate wizard, he can already use the golden-quality Blue Roaring Rabbit crystal nucleus for meditation practice. At the same time, in a small building next to Lu Gaoyin's tavern, a large magic circle surrounds the entire small building, allowing the magic power in it to The concentration is almost liquid.

This small building is where he practiced. To meditate once a day, he needs to hold two golden quality crystal nuclei in both hands, and meditate in a large magic gathering circle. The dark world itself is better than the Holy Continent The rich magic power of countless times makes the effect of the large magic gathering circle reach the extreme.

Abel felt that in just a few months, he would be able to upgrade his wizard level again, and his cultivation speed did not slow down because of the increase in wizard level.

The days passed day by day, more than a month passed, the Holy Continent was already in August, and Abel had advanced to the third floor of the palace prison.

At this time, his body was full of mana again, but he was not in a hurry for promotion, because he was on the third floor of the palace prison and was almost cleaned up.

Carefully opened a wooden door with 'telepathy', this is the experience he gained after experiencing several dangers.

Because the hell creatures in the palace prison are often neatly packed in a room, and the action of opening the wooden door will make all the hell creatures startle at the same time.

If you encounter a terrifying archer or a terrifying mage, what is waiting for you will be hundreds of elemental attacks flying at the same time.

Of course, 'teleportation' should be used as little as possible here, because there is some kind of interference in the mental power in this prison, which affects the distance of the mental power.

The wooden door was opened, and sure enough, more than a hundred fireballs flew out from inside. Since he was still some distance away from the wooden door, those fireballs did not cause him any harm.

Due to the opening of the wooden door, his mental power could extend into that room. As soon as his spiritual power penetrated, he found dozens of intruders holding double knives, and the few intruders in the front had activated the 'flame enhancement' 'Ability, the whole body is wrapped in fire elements, shining red light.

'Wall of Fire', Abel directly threw a wall of fire into it, sealing the door, he would not let the Ghost Guardian Knight rush in directly at this time, the focused fire attack of hundreds of spells, even if the Ghost Guardian Knight's whole body of runes, it is difficult withstand.

"Naga!" Abel called to one of the ghost guardian knights.

The figure of the Naga with four arms behind her flickered for a moment, and before she came to the gate, it was blocked by the 'wall of fire', and the hell creatures inside could not find it for a while.

Four green light spheres were formed from Naga's back four arms, and then they were picked up by the left and right hands of the body, and thrown into the room. After throwing more than ten green light spheres in a row, it disappeared in the 'wall of fire' The front flashed and dodged the door.

After Naga left the door, two 'Fire Wall' spell patterns were generated in front of the weapon shields of Abel's left and right hands, and then the two 'Fire Walls' were thrown in, this time the throwing distance was deeper.

He didn't stop. The 'Fire Wall' would cause great damage to hell creatures without fire resistance, which is why he likes to use the 'Fire Wall'.

And in such a closed room, the lethality of the 'wall of fire' is even more astonishing, and the horror mages who have just attacked from a long distance will rarely move when attacking. Once the 'wall of fire' is thrown at their feet, what is waiting for them is Burn continuously until death.

Sure enough, in the room, the intruder's screams came, as well as the unique rattling and cracking sounds of skeletons.

It seems that the 'Wall of Fire' caused a lot of damage to the hell creatures in the room. Abel didn't stop, and he kept casting the 'Wall of Fire' with both hands, and the extremely fast casting and the two-handed casting were activated at the same time.

At this moment, intruders with red lights all over their bodies rushed out of the room with two knives in their hands, waiting for them was the ghost guardian knight shield.

And the 'clay stone demon' stood behind the ghost guardian knight. Although it didn't participate in the attack, it just stood there and slowed down the attack speed of the originally fast invader.

In front of the shield in Abel's left hand, the "Fire Wall" continued to be activated, and it was thrown into the room continuously. In front of the "Steel" sword in his right hand, the spell pattern of "Chain Lightning" appeared, and then a bolt of lightning struck a intruder.

The intruder who came out of the 'wall of fire' only slashed uselessly on the shield of the ghost guardian knight, and was struck by lightning, and then the eight intruders behind it were also hit one after another.

The souls of the nine intruders were collected into the Horadric Cube, and the intruders who came out were even more harmless, either killed by the 'chain lightning', or killed by the ghost guardian knight.

But in Abel's spiritual power, there are not many terrifying mages in the room, and the rest of the terrifying mages are standing in places where the 'fire wall' cannot be burned.

The 'teleportation' spell pattern on his left hand lit up, and the 'chain lightning' spell on his right hand remained, and then he disappeared in place together with the eight ghost guardian knights and the 'clay stone demon', and then appeared in the room.

The room was full of dead skeleton fragments, and only a dozen or so terrifying mages stood in a few corners and threw fireballs in his direction.

The flying fireballs were blocked by the shield in the hands of the Ghost Guardian Knight, and it was the 'chain lightning' in Abel's right hand that hit them back. This 'chain lightning' not only took away part of the life force of the terrifying mage, but also paralyzed them .

And the ghost guardian knight flashed directly in front of the horror mages who were not paralyzed, so that the fireball that these horror mages were about to send was interrupted, and the horror mage could only use the staff in his hand to hit the ghost guardian knight in front of him.

This ridiculous attack has almost no damage to the ghost guardian knight with extremely high defense power.

On the other side, Abel's hands were already using the 'chain lightning' with all his strength, and the horror mage who was hit was almost paralyzed, shaking non-stop until his life was emptied.

When there was no hell creature standing in the entire room, Abel's eyes fixed on another wooden door in this room.

The white light in his hand flashed, the 'telepathy' was activated again, and the wooden door was opened by a flash of lightning.

After the wooden door was opened, no sound was heard, nor did it trigger an attack. Abel carefully stretched out his mental power, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. There were no hell creatures.

Walking through the wooden door, you can see that the lampstands on the left and right have been replaced by hell creatures with inextinguishable hell flames, illuminating the whole room in fiery red.

In the middle of the room, a non-activated portal is particularly eye-catching. This is a portal with an obvious hell style. The evil power flows on the portal, making the portal present a gray and gloomy atmosphere.

Abel couldn't guarantee whether the evil power on the portal would affect him, so he still used 'telepathy' to guide the spiritual power to the portal, and the portal was instantly activated by the spiritual power. circle.

A dim blue light slowly slid down from the top of the portal, forming a dark blue light gate in the middle of the portal.

Abel approached the light gate, but his spiritual sense didn't sense the danger, so he wrapped his spiritual power around the eight ghost guardian knights and the 'clay golem', activated the 'teleportation', and the target was the position of the light gate.

In an instant, he and all his summoned objects disappeared from the original place, and then disappeared into the light gate. Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
