The momentum of the Britannian army of knights advancing in the grasslands was astonishing. When hundreds of family heraldry banners, colorful burqas and armor reflecting bright light in the sun lined up in neat formations, many enemies After seeing such a terrifying scene just now, they will be shocked.
Many Britannian knights are proud of their glorious origins. Every knight can recite their genealogy aloud, telling many people which glorious hero their ancestors are, and how many Holy Grail knights have been born in the family. , How many feats have been done, the precious Bretanian war horses and Bretanian mithril armor are their most proud things, many equipments have been treasured and carefully maintained for hundreds of years, knights wear the equipment of their ancestors, My heart is always full of pride. In recent years, many ancient equipment have been sent to the blacksmith workshop of the Angrund clan for recasting. Keep the original style.
But a long march does not always require full armor. Except for the infantry, the knights at the forefront of the front line and a small number of scouts, most of the knights and entourages actually do not wear armor. Wearing armor for a long time consumes energy and energy. Horsepower, most of the time, knight lords mostly walk or ride pack horses, and only ride war horses when fighting.
The army camped in the Tooth Forest at the foot of the Roof of the World Mountains. This place has a relatively typical subtropical grassland climate. It has a certain altitude and is relatively easy to obtain water and build camps. The army camped on the mountainside to rest and march. For more than a month, except for the dwarves, both the knight lord and the serf soldiers were exhausted, so Ryan decided to take a small group of knights, a few accompanying wizards, General Ivan's Ugor horse archers, the old guards and The dwarves led by Bellegar headed to the nearby Iron Rock to scout.
Ryan didn't come out riding a griffin either. Imprius' goal was too big and inappropriate, so the king decided to keep a low profile.
As a result, when the real departure took place, Ryan found that he couldn't keep a low profile at all. In order to let the king see his majesty and strength, the knights all dressed up gorgeously, like a proud rooster, triumphantly surrounding the king.
The temperature in the badlands in April has gradually risen, and the bright sunshine covers the grassland outside the forest. There are traces of green skins raging everywhere on the field, and there are many rough statues of Gomogo. Seeing this kind of statue, Veronica or the accompanying witch immediately throws a fireball spell and blows the statue to pieces. Gork and Morgo statues are proven to strengthen the greenskin's waaagh to some extent! Force field, and according to Bellegar, when the waaagh force field is strong enough, the statue will become "alive" and join the battle, so any statue of this kind must be destroyed immediately.
After leaving the forest, the majestic and majestic scene of the Roof of the World Mountains unfolded in front of everyone. The peaks in the distance pierced into the sky, and the mountain wind was blowing. Everyone advanced along the foot of the mountain. On the way, they saw many giant sculptures of dwarves built at the foot of the mountain. and on the mountainside,
Thousands of years of wind and rain have not faded the statue, but the damage of the green skin has caused many dwarven statues to shatter or lose important parts. Even if some dwarf statues can survive, the lonely and lonely appearance of the statue, as well as the green skin Marks scribbled on it all say that the golden age of the dwarves has passed, and they are slowly dying.
"Not far away is the Iron Rock." Bellega pointed to the road leading to the depths of the mountains. The King of Eight Peaks carefully identified the traces of various dirt and green skins on the grassland, and made a suggestion: "I suggest that we take a break here, if we continue in, there will be a fight soon."
"Okay then, the whole army, get off your horse and rest, arrange patrols, stay alert, and don't take off your armor!" Ryan ordered loudly, and the scout team rested in a corner of the valley. Nika hugged the horse, and the king's move attracted the envious eyes of several witches accompanying the army. Some knight lords wanted to imitate it, but the witches flatly refused, which made the knight lords very embarrassed.
"I really want to rush into the steel rock right now, and kill all the green-skinned bastards inside." Calad got off his horse, and the Holy Grail had just handed the reins of his beloved horse to the attendant, and the bright fire witch Catherine held it Carrying a water bag and the blueberry pie made by myself, I sent it to Karard: "Your Excellency, Karard, you have worked hard, please use it."
"Thank you." Callard smiled, and he took the water bag from Catherine. Earl Garrament was very polite: "You have worked hard, Miss Catherine."
"No, this is what I should do." Catherine also bowed very politely. The Light and Fire Witch watched Karard drink the water and handed over his work again: "This is the blueberry pie I made. If If possible, can you give me some advice? It's just a little cold."
"Ha, it's a very high-level enjoyment to be able to eat pies while marching. Thank you, Miss Catherine, you have a heart." Callard was a little strange. Isn't it that difficult to get in touch with? Since Catherine is so enthusiastic, Callard knows that it is not good for him to be ungrateful at all, and it is not in line with the spirit of chivalry, so he chooses to accept it.
Not far away, both Ryan and Veronica noticed this scene. Ryan cast a playful look at Veronica, and Veronica glared at Ryan angrily. Judging by the expression on her face, she obviously has no objection: "It's better than those damned Striganys."
Ryan smiled.
After discovering the ruins of the Strigany's camp that day, Bellegar immediately judged that the group of Strigany hadn't gone far, so when the army gradually approached the Iron Rock, they encountered a group of Strigany in the forest , this is a small tribe, more than a dozen caravans carry this group of people who have been wandering for two thousand years, they are now wandering on the edge of the badlands, these people seem to have some kind of special magic to avoid the final green skin The first reaction of the group of Striganis when they saw the human and dwarf army was excitement, and then they asked for "rescue" and "mercy" grandly, wanting to get food from the expeditionary army for free.
This group of Strigani people have sallow complexion, long faces, a bit square, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, a bit pointed chin, long eyebrows, big and long eyes, long, high and straight nose bridge, and a bit wide mouth. Some people's expressions are indifferent.
Of course, Ryan flatly refused. The food for the expeditionary force was hard to come by. From any point of view, it was impossible for Ryan to come up with military food to rescue these humans who are still living in the dream of the Stryker undead empire.
Yes, the habits of the Strigani people are very special. The old and young of these undead empires have never settled in any place, and they have never done farming. This group of people followed their caravan and traveled around the entire old world Vagabonding, living a life of fishing and hunting, they never try to integrate into any society, and never try to understand others. Most of the time, they only speak their own language, live their own closed life, resist any local laws and regulations, and never believe in any The gods of the old world, when the churches of many old world gods distribute relief food, these Strigani people like to rush up and loot it. When they get the relief food, instead of thanking the church and the gods, they will praise it loudly Their "Vampire King", then shouted that one day our God King Ushoran will come back and lead us to rebuild our empire!
Moreover, this group of people often abducts children and engages in petty theft. The Striggni people hate being taxed and farming. They think that this is the obligation of inferior people and slaves. Our Strigg Empire back then was terrible. They never tax us and let us farm. On the contrary, they love to steal and cheat, and go around social welfare. They think that this is what Ushoran gave them. great times.
Therefore, this group of people is not welcome anywhere in the old world, and it is rare that they are not welcome from the church, merchants, nobles, peasants, and any local problems are quickly blamed on Stry when no obvious perpetrators are found. In the case of the Gurneys, the victims were often reduced to charred corpses at the stake before their innocence could be proven.
Only Kislev welcomes the Strigani on the grounds that they can provide magical help and jointly defend against barbarians.
If the Strigani feel that they are not welcome or cannot maintain fishing and hunting after a period of time in a place, they will continue to wander until the next place where they can settle down, and the cycle starts again.
Seeing that they could not get food, the disappointed Strigani changed their minds. The male Strigani offered labor services, while the female Strigani offered tarot card divination services and that kind of service. The enthusiastic, hot, unrestrained and free-spirited Strigany musical instruments and the beautiful Strigany girls in gorgeous and colorful clothes quickly found their own market among the expeditionary army.
Ryan was happy to see this scene, but during the interval of the performance, the black-hearted Rip came to tell him that he saw a dozen Strigneys taking advantage of the chaos to steal food and property from the expeditionary army, and tried to take Britta Nia steed, ready to flee.
Feeling deceived and fooled, the king finally ordered the execution of all the thieves caught, and all the remaining Strigani were expelled from the camp of the expeditionary army. Even so, there was still a little food, a few bags of gold and silver and two bolts of cloth. The Litanian warhorse was gone.
"So it seems that Francois knows this best. This group of people is really... unchangeable in nature. They are still fantasizing that one day they can return to the good old days." Ryan crossed his arms, and he suddenly sighed. With a voice: "I think I now understand why there are so many Jingluo."
"Jing Luo, what is that?" Veronica didn't understand what Ryan meant.
"It's nothing, it refers to the group of people who are always remembering the past, like the Strigger vampires and those Strigani." Ryan shook his head, seeing that he didn't want to say it, Veronica wisely didn't ask again .
The King of Knights reminded Rome, why do so many people miss Rome? In the end, it became Jingluo, discussing in vain whether Shenluo, the Third Rome, and even Green Luo and the Fourth Macedonian Empire can be regarded as the heirs of Rome, discussing how to restore Rome, restore orthodoxy, and restore Rome in the game 100 million times?
Because they don't want to admit that civilization will die.
You will return like lightning, but the lightning has not returned for more than 500 years. Roman civilization as a main body has been completely wiped out, and everyone is clearly told that Istanbul will never return to Constantinople.
In the same way, the Empire of the Strigg Undead has also been destroyed, and the ruins of Mulheim in the Badlands will never return to Mulcain. With the current strength of the undead, it is almost impossible to regain the control of the Badlands from the hands of the Greenskins. Even if it is regained, it will not be Ushoran and his Strigel Undead Empire.
Civilizations die.
Whether it is the carnivorous royal court of Stryg vampires who have gone crazy in the beastization, or these stubborn Striggni, they always refuse to believe this fact, and their behavior seems absurd and eccentric. , just to resist that fact, to appease the pain in his subconscious, unwilling to believe that the Stryker Undead Empire has perished.
Kingship is not eternal, but even civilization is not eternal. Everything in the world will die one day.
And chaos lasts forever.
This is the ultimate sorrow. Compared with the countless powers that once ruled the universe, the history of mankind is so short that it is unimaginable. The Old Sage once ruled the stars and the galaxy, but still inevitably ushered in his own end .
Just like the future, the swaying flames of civilization are swaying in the wind, surrounded by darkness, and the evil gods of chaos sneered at the weak mortals repeating the cycle of development-peak-decline-reform-destruction, waiting for mortals to fall into At the moment of weakness, wait for the opportunity to move, and prepare to blow the horn of destroying the world again.
many times.
Every time, there are great heroes who stand up to face the evil, such as the first Phoenix King Enario, the first old devil Croker, the founder of the empire Charlemagne, the first knight King Arthur, the Rat Exterminator Emperor Mandred, Ludwig the Savior, whose heroic battle and sacrifice drove the demonic legions back to the profane world that gave birth to them.
But Chaos is eternal, mortals are ephemeral, and mortals will never be freed from the threat of Chaos.
forever.
Ryan was deep in thought. The king seemed to be sitting on his pony horse and meditating on something. No one disturbed the king. Everyone was taking the opportunity to rest and recover their strength, until Bellegar suddenly stood up: "Ready to fight! Warrior! Men, prepare to fight! I smell the greenskins, they are near us!"
"What?!" The knight lord and the soldiers who were resting were shocked, and many of them were still eating dry food.
Fortunately, Bellegar has won the trust of everyone through a series of battles and a rich understanding of the greenskins. No one raised any doubts, and it was too late for the knights to get on their horses. They stood still, took up their swords and shields, and approached The guards and the dwarf army formed formation immediately, and Admiral Ivan had already led the Ugol horse archers to draw their bowstrings to the full, aiming around vigilantly.
But everything was very quiet, nothing seemed to happen, the surrounding area of the valley was empty, Ryan also subconsciously pulled out the Nemesis, the King of Knights did not use his own Thor's Hammer, because the green skin needs to be cut instead of broken. A, the knight king who had just recovered from deep thinking was a little dazed. He looked around carefully and found that there were indeed no enemies. When he was about to use his spiritual power to sense it, Bellegar's voice sounded again: "Above!!!"
Everyone raised their heads suddenly, and a series of stone bombs and gliding goblins fell from the sky! The screaming goblin flaps its wings and plummets, ready to bring death to this pack of canned shrimp and bearded enemies!
"Arrow Shelter Field!" Veronica immediately raised her hand, and Witch Jialan mobilized all her magic power to create a white defensive barrier about five meters high and thirty meters wide almost instantly. The entire defensive barrier Thousands of ancient elven runes and magic words are rotated and arranged on the top, this defensive barrier blocks all oncoming attacks, whether it is flying stone bullets or gliding goblins, they all hit the barrier The blast above was shattered, but the soldiers behind the barrier were unharmed.
The old guards reacted extremely quickly, and they immediately gathered to protect Ryan and Veronica in the middle of the front line.
"Heaven! In the valley!" Bellegar roared again, "It's the Arachnare spiders! They came down from the sky!"
"What?" The knights were still looking around. A giant spider pulled a long silk thread and dropped from the sky. It was at least five meters long and four meters wide, and it was full of goblin archers and goblin spearmen. them.
In the next second, the behemoth directly hit Ryan's position.
Dust filled the sky.
