Chapter 1183, It's Shameful and Useless to Escape

Estalia in May can already feel a touch of heat. The Twilight sisters are actually not very interested in leaving Britannia, and the generals and bureaucrats of Ryan's direct line actually don't agree with Devonhill's risk of leaving the country. However, in this matter, the Green Knight, who has always been very strict, has spoken. The half-body of the kingdom and the embodiment of knightly virtues indicate that a boy must go through the fire of war to grow into a man. Frederick, who is on the opposite side of the mountain, is only 19 years old this year, and he is already an excellent general who has played more than 20 games. On the back of the forest dragon, Devonhill looked down. I saw dense crowds huddled together, fleeing along the road towards the north. The road was completely blocked by horse-drawn carts, ox carts, carts and even trailers. how many people? Devonhill couldn't figure it out, because the long road and the crowd were almost endless, and Estalia, which is located on the plain, naturally didn't have only roads to pass through, and there were more crowds on both sides of the road. "Many humans, I can feel their fear, these people have lost their courage to face a strong enemy." Nestella looked at the panic-stricken humans with compassion: "They must regain their faith. "Otherwise there is only death, or something more terrible than death." Arohan said. "The plague is spreading here." Nestella added: "If we don't take action, then the only ending is destruction." "Destruction is also good, and then we can have a big fight." Arlo John licked his lips. "You must control yourself, Arohan!" "You must also control your sympathy, Nestra!" Devonhill has now learned to block the habitual quarrel between the sisters, and the young baron will All attention is focused on the bottom. Through the binoculars, a group of young couples are pulling a pair of children and fleeing in panic. Perhaps all their wealth is what is on the carriage behind them. In this chaotic era, the husband had to take out his own weapon ——The rapier and musket are used to drive away anyone who covets the family's property, while the mother sits in the carriage and looks at everyone with vigilant eyes. Only the boy focused his eyes on the sky, and he soon found out. Groups of falcon cavalry, a group of Britannian royal pegasus knights and forest dragons flew across the sky! The Bretons are coming! We are saved! Cheers echoed in the crowd. Seeing this scene, Duke Casson couldn't help waving his hands high in the sky, and he immediately got more cheers. But Devonhill couldn't show any smiles. The baron knew deeply that their little people would be of no use at all, and that the Twilight Sisters were willing to come only for the sake of Ryan and him. . As for the Duke of Casson, his team of Royal Pegasus Knights is really powerful, but this group of people... didn't regard their own as the lord, they just stopped by to watch the excitement, and it can even be said that to some extent, they came to inspect in advance own new territory. No matter how loyal Duke Casson was to his father and his family, he was still a noble knight after all... Devonhill couldn't stop smiling bitterly. Father, your prestige and strength are really too high, too high, too high, your personal prestige completely overwhelms the prestige of the kingdom, everyone obeys you, admires you, and agrees with you. Not the throne! This group of air forces headed towards Magritte, the actual capital of Estalia. Two more days passed, and the group finally arrived in Magritte. At this time, this formerly great city was already in chaos, Duke Magritte Lucio-Sungazer and his successor Felipe-Sungazer Baron had gone to nowhere. In Magritte's state guest house, the dragon landed, the royal pegasus knights lined up in two rows, a team of knights welcomed Devonhill, and a square table was placed in the middle of the state guest house. On the other side of the table sat Enzo Moretti, Grand Mentor of the Order of Magritte. If anyone still remembers, this Enzo Moretti had contact with Ryan,

When Ryan came to look for the Seagod Trident, he had reached a truce agreement with Ryan and others. "My Baron, at this moment, you have brought this group of people to Magritte. We really don't know whether we should be happy or welcome you with any other expressions." Enzo Moretti and a dozen He was a little older than before, but he was still very energetic. Behind him, a group of Magritte knights in gorgeous armor lined up in a long row. They’ve all been sent.” “I’m here to evaluate the situation.” Devonhill clasped his fingers together, and the baron sat on his seat, looking very serious: “Listen to me, Master Moretti, we are in This kind of situation has also been encountered in history. It was during the Chiyan Crusade and the Arab Jihad. We also worked together to fight against the enemy. The desert peoples of Araby once pushed Magritte into a desperate situation. This is very bad. , but we still won the final victory, didn't we?" "But this time the situation is different, my baron, do you understand the situation?" Enzo Moretti and the knight Magritte behind him All the knights of the regiment looked at Devonhill, the baron who was so young that he looked very immature, with strange eyes. "The situation, what's the situation?" Devonhill read a different taste from the face of the great mentor Enzo Moretti. Enzo Moretti hesitated for a while, as if he was weighing something, but then he laughed at himself, and then told Devinhill the news: "Okay, well, I can't hide it for long, let me tell you Well, my baron, in fact, Lucio, His Excellency the Duke of the Sun Watcher, and his heir Felipe, His Excellency the Sun Watcher, have already died in battle!" "What?!!!" De Vinci Er's eyes widened. Yes, the ruler of Magritte, the most important city in Estalia, the Sunstrider... Ahem, the main bloodline of the Sun Watcher family must be cut off. As mentioned above, after learning that the "strange beastman" had perished in Tobalo, Duke Magritte Lucio-Sunwatcher and his two sons decided to use Magritte's army to support him. Unfortunately, the city fell halfway, and was attacked by Skaven. Among the rebellious army, the Knights of the Magritte Knights, the Flying Eagle Knight and the Knight of the Spear of Justice fought bloody battles to protect the Duke and his family, but they were outnumbered. In the rebellious army, both Lucio and Felipe were killed The difference is that Lucio was struck by the lightning of the Skaven engineer warlock, and his whole body was burned to black charcoal, while Felipe was cut into pieces by "a cutter like a hamster wheel". Several paragraphs. The arrogant Duke Lucio wanted to build prestige and meritorious deeds by "suppressing the Beastmen", but failed. Instead, he died in battle with his two sons. In order to prevent the resistance from completely disintegrating, Enzo Moretti, the great mentor of the Knights of Magritte, had to order to conceal the news of his death. The southern kingdom still believes that it was attacked by "special beastmen". Of course, due to the desperate resistance of the knights and the death of all members of the Duke's private guard in this battle, the Skaven also suffered huge losses, so they temporarily stopped to rest (by the way, a few large human feasts were held). "Very good." After Devonhill hesitated briefly, the baron regained his composure, and he pondered for a minute: "Isn't it just right, my great mentor, you have fully taken over the entire city, all finances, troops, Order, am I right?" "Yes, temporarily, but it won't be long." Enzo nodded. "Then so long, tell us, tell us the Bretons, how do you, and these Magritte knights, plan to fight back?" Devonhill said softly, "I need to hear the plan." A plan? No plan." The Grand Instructor spread his hands and tilted his head. "No plan?!" Devonhill stuck his head forward first, the baron opened his mouth, and finally even laughed out: "Ha~ God, don't tell me, the knight brothers who have experienced the Arabian jihad They have degenerated to this point?" "Listen, our country is also facing a huge threat now, thousands of Norscan longships are constantly attacking our north coast, and Beastmen and Greenskins are frequent in the territory, even if It is the court, and everyone is arguing about whether to form an army to support you. The virtue of chivalry binds us, but there is no doubt that the virtue of defending the country is based on the spirit of chivalry. If we even defend our own homeland Not good, how can I extend a helping hand to you?" Devonhill looked very embarrassed, with an expression of "I'm doing this for your own good", and said righteous and groundless words in his mouth. Nestella, who was standing behind Devonhill, almost laughed. This man, speaking of such words, was exactly like his mother, Queen Suria. But Arohan had a cold face, and she felt a headache when she thought of the stern mentor of the Green Knight. "Listen too, my Baron, we would love to fight back. Of course we don't want to lose our city, our country, but the previous defeats have cost us our capital. Only 8,000 of an army of 20,000 survived, and the last return There are less than 2,000 people who are willing to defend Magritte!" Enzo closed his eyes angrily: "Every sword in the city has been taken away, how can we defend? Rely on more than a thousand swords in the warehouse Swords, spears, and shields? Do we rely on the tens or even hundreds of years of grandfather-level artillery on our city walls? Or rely on organizing militias? I checked the barracks, and there are not even two hundred sets of breastplates inside!" Devonhill was stunned.

Only the Duke of Casson nodded slightly. He knew the situation in Estalia. Simply put, Estalia has been at peace for too long. It has been too long since the Arab Jihad. Through war. In Estalia, the army is closer to a guard of honor, and the martial arts among the people are extremely weak. Even the popular fencing and swordsmanship are trained more as a kind of "performance" and "competition" rather than actual combat events. On top of that, the Estalians have a habit. They never wear armor! The reason is simple. The sword competition is all about speed, dexterity, agility and lightness. Of course, you don't wear armor! Therefore, Estalia's army wears less armor, and the armor in stock is extremely small. If it weren't for the knights of Magritte Knight, Flying Eagle Knight, and Justice Spear Knight who still have the habit of wearing armor, Estalia would have been defeated by the Skaven ratmen and perished! Not to mention the problem of firearms. The 500 new firearms ordered from Nur were all lost in the previous battle. Enzo Moretti only had 300 spare firearms left. Maintenance and maintenance, about 30% of them cannot be used. Magritte has about 200 defensive artillery pieces, most of which are grandpa styles, and some have not been used for hundreds of years. The most terrible thing is that Enzo checked the shell storage. . The warehouse is full of wooden boxes, but all of them are filled with stones, only the ten boxes in the doorway and corridor are filled with shells. Coming out of the State Guesthouse, Devonhill's face was livid: "We don't need to stay here anymore, go back and tell everyone that we are ready to snipe the Skaven army in Billy Barry and welcome Estalia's army at the same time." Refugees." "Fortunately, there is still one person in our Britannia who can take over all this in a fair manner." The Britannia came and went quickly, and the Twilight sisters left behind their contributions. In an aerial surprise attack, two teams of Falcon Cavalry's Kunos volley fired 17 dimensional stone lightning cannons carefully designed and manufactured by Ikert-Claw out of the range of the Ratmen, and Devonhill retreated immediately. At the same time, Enzo Moretti, the great mentor of the Magritte Knights, officially ordered to abandon Magritte. Under the protection and supervision of the knights of the Knights, hundreds of thousands of refugees came towards Britannia. ……… I was running away from the shameful and useless dividing line……… When the Estalians abandoned Magritte and started fleeing north. Silver Mountains, Eternal Peak, Immeasurable Peak, Karaz-a-Kalak, the capital of the dwarves. A meeting of dwarf kings has just ended. High King Thorgrim-Grudger was so annoyed that he sat on the dwarven throne in the Throne Hall and couldn't recover for a long time. He was furious at the cowardice and evasion of the dwarves. This time at the Dwarf Kings Conference, several dwarf kings actually put forward an idea publicly - to close all the dwarf fortresses, keep their doors behind closed doors, and ignore the affairs of the outside world. Granny, how did our dwarves become like this? The High King rejected this issue in the most drastic way. The dwarves must not be trapped in an isolated city and fight on their own. However, when the Supreme King put forward an idea, that is to abandon some unimportant dwarven fortresses and gather troops on the Eternal Peak to prepare for the final battle, he was unanimously opposed by all the dwarf kings. Among them, Bellegar opposed the most fiercely. The king of Eight Peaks scolded Thorgreen saying that you are not a real dwarf at all. No dwarf will abandon his homeland. If the dwarves really want to usher in their last moment, He, Bellegar, will accept it frankly, instead of giving up the Eight Peaks Mountain Fortress that he has gone through all kinds of hardships to get back in order to survive. Emotionally speaking, Thorgrim can understand Bellegar's decision, but from the perspective of the dwarf's grand strategy, unity is strong, and division is weak. Bellegar's first decision to come out against Thorgrim made Ben unwilling to accept it. All the dwarf kings who commanded the order opposed it together, especially the Butcher King, the King of Haimen Pass and the King of Rapids Pass. This ruined Thorgrim's plan, and what was worse, was so affected that the dwarf kings left in anger. "It's shameful to run away, but it's useful, and it's shameful to run away, and it's useless." Thorgreen sat on the throne, and the High King sighed softly: "It seems that in the next war, our Eternal Peak will I can rely on my own strength." "Let them come!" Broxson, the chief engineer of the dwarves, was furious: "They will need the help of Eternal Peak, and they will regret today's rudeness!" "Stop talking about this " Thorgrim-Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr: "How is the situation of the Colossus?" "After many adjustments, it is ready to go into battle, but I hope there is still a little time for me to continue to fine-tune it." Brockson nod. "You will get those times." The Supreme King thought of those giant statues, and he felt a little more confident in his heart. Granny, Grimnir, and Valaya, thank you for leaving such a rich legacy to the dwarves. If these colossi can be used properly, there may be... hope. Qiqi's novels are first published on the Internet
