Chapter 1214, Bo Derek's Determination

Standing on the ruins of the Principality of Aquitaine, Duke Boderick of Boldeiro couldn't help thinking of the previous turmoil.

Bo Derick is already a hundred years old this year. If he hadn't drank the water of the Holy Grail, the old duke would have been completely old by now. There is not much interest in internal affairs.

In the previous civil strife, Boderick himself has always been in a neutral position. He neither sided with Ryan nor chose to join Free Britannia, even if the knights and nobles over there tried to win him over. The old prince was not moved by the extremely high price.

He is really a little tired.

But he knows how serious the crisis is this time. Carcassonne has been destroyed, and the Skavens have gone straight to the hinterland of Brittania, and even directly to the city of Jean in Ryan. If the enemy cannot be intercepted in the old Aki In the Principality of Tanzania, the disaster of the Skaven ratmen will greatly damage the vitality of the entire knight kingdom, so Bo Derick himself decided to lead the attack himself.

The old prince couldn't help showing a smile when he thought of this. His son Federmond had gradually matured and had children.

Naturally, there will not be too many Poldero troops temporarily recruited, but thanks to Poldero's extremely affluent urban business environment, high industrialization and the continued expansion of the Poseidon fleet, Ryan just ordered, and Poldero immediately formed An army of 12,000 people left the principality. Although Boderick knew that there were countless Skavens, so what? Ratmen always win by numbers.

In command, Boderick's great army stood in the center of the line, with the Knights of Neptune and Mannen's Guard guarding the Duke himself, along with Boldrow's Marines and five regiments of the Freedmen's Infantry, an army that had proved timeless. The test, unlike most of the principalities of Brittania, Boldeiro was the first principality equipped with artillery. The old prince looked at his two artillery regiments, a total of 22 artillery pieces and 4 rocket launchers, and he was still satisfied.

The army on the left wing was the Vichy army of the defeated Duke Magritte Juan, 4,000 people. These troops consisted of the Estalian militia, the knights of the three knight orders and a small number of Juan's own soldiers.

Boderick looked down on this group of Estalians. Due to historical reasons and the pride that the Poseidon fleet had defeated the Armada, the Duke of Boldro and the Admiral of the Britannia Navy believed that the Estalians were all These eggless bereaved dogs.

The army on the right was the Belion Army, led by Duke Theodoric, with 3,000 men.

This is also an old slicker. At the first moment when the belief in the goddess went wrong, the duke started his career again and again. His attitude towards the fairy of the lake, the patron saint of the kingdom, was neither to deny the goddess's attitude towards Britta Niah’s contribution, but I don’t think nothing happened. Faced with Ryan’s speech and orders,

Theodoric was obedient and disobedient, and he still stuck to the Principality of Belayon to monitor every move of the southern country. From this point alone, Theodoric is competent.

But after losing the lady's faith, the guy's old problems fell into place, and he began to drink and indulge again, hooking up with those noble women and even the wives of free people. The old problems of Duke Theodoric made him probably Never being able to get near the Holy Grail, but he didn't care.

Things quickly reversed. With the success of Lane's speech, the first thing Theodoric did was to repent. He immediately responded to Lane's order and confessed his sins loudly to the goddess. To show his sincerity, Theodoric did it, and now there are five heads of Skaven warlords, gray prophets or Skaven captains hanging under his horse.

Theodoric must be the first to fight, and he must be the first to rush. Boderick was surprised by Theodoric's bravery and determination. However, recklessness is often not a bad thing for a knight, right?

"Our central army will be responsible for dealing with the enemy's main force." Tactics are familiar to Boderick, and the admiral said to Juan and Theodoric: "Our artillery, musketeers and crossbowmen will fight Skaven firefights, our strong shield walls and formations will be able to deal with the number of skaven, and when the time is right, the knights charge through the wings, targeting the Skaven warlord."

"The knight's group charge? This is too obvious." Juan hesitated.

"The prophets of the lake god will provide us with dense fog cover." Boderick continued: "And the knights of the sea god will assist you, and I will charge with them."

"I understand the Skaven ratmen. These rats can't stand a little setback, and our knights will deal them the most fatal blow!" Duke Theodoric said excitedly.

Gradually, thick fog began to appear on the plain.

Boderick de Boldro, the old Duke of Boldroux, looked at the battlefield he had chosen. The Duchy of Aquitaine was once a very beautiful and rich place, with fields and prosperous manors. and noble knights, but everything changed after the incident of the Red Duke.

Most of the current Principality of Aquitaine has been merged into the Principality of Bordereau. Most of this place is a plain with no danger to defend, which is very convenient for cavalry to charge. Historically, it was not easy for this Principality to be surrounded. Facing the invasion of foreign enemies, the knights and nobles here love to fight among themselves. They built a large number of castles on the plains. As time passed, most of these castles became ruins.

Perhaps one day, the prosperous Bordereau will also be in ruins?

Boderick looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance, the idyllic scenery of Aquitaine, and the old prince could already faintly hear the Skaven bells and the very chaotic horns.

For the truth about the fairy in the lake, Boderick has scolded, regretted, and annoyed, but he may be the Duke who first began to accept the fairy in the lake as an elf god. The reason is very simple. First, he is The Knight of the Holy Grail is a vested interest. Second, he not only believes in the fairy of the lake, but also believes in Mananen, the god of the sea.

If one fails, at least there is another.

The old duke looked at the battlefield, he clenched his Seagod Trident tightly.

my old man! We will fight side by side again, Duke Balderick thought.

The ocean, the trident, and that unique smell of fish and sea.

For the ladies, and more for Brittania and Mannan!

The order was conveyed like flowing water, the army was arrayed, the artillery entered the position, the shield wall was formed, and those free citizens who were temporarily recruited nervously and full of chess expectations. Although the Sea God Knight did not fight on the ocean, which he was best at, But still gearing up.

"Cannon fire preparation~"

"emission!"

The sound of the artillery firing first spread throughout the battlefield, and Duke Boderick closed his eyes. Such a beautiful place in Aquitaine is about to become a slaughterhouse for flesh and blood. The sound of horns is continuous, and the brave horns and shouts of the Knight Kingdom army Overwhelming the chaotic voices of the Skaven, hundreds of slave rats made the first wave of attack, and then they were overwhelmed by bows and artillery.

The armies of the two sides began to compete.

Even armed with muskets, bows and crossbowmen still proved to have their place, and the tried and tested Breton longbowmen and regiments of crossbowmen equipped with dwarven hand crossbows delivered satisfactory answers, round after round. The shooting caused huge casualties to the slave rats at the front, and Ictor Claw also noticed that the chief engineer ordered the soldiers to move forward, but in the overwhelming "yesyes!" and "diedie!" Carven's triangular shield has poor coverage.

All the Skaven rats don't care, slave rats are meant to be given away.

Duke Boderick also noticed that there were so many slave rats, so many that they covered the entire front and continued to advance. The old duke secretly cursed how many rats are there in the enemy? Then ordered Juan's Vichy army to press up from the left flank.

Just let those Estalians trade slave rats! The only goal is to defeat the Skaven's central army! Boderick judged: Only by letting the Skaven taste the frustration can they collapse one after another.

"Duke Theodoric of Berleon is here! My dear grandson of the Ratman! Your grandpa is here! In the name of a lady, go back to your underground!" Duke Theodoric was the first to initiate After the charge, the fearless Theodoric may be an old lewd and drunk violent maniac, reckless guy, but he is also a heroic warrior, Theodoric holds the giant of Balduin, the original Holy Grail partner. The axe, rushing to the battle in person, is invincible wherever it passes.

"Children of Balduin, where is your courage?"

"We are here!"

"Don't let any of the rats go!"

"Yes, sir."

Theodoric's courage greatly boosted the morale of the Berleon army. Behind him were dozens of knights from Berleon, two hundred knight followers, and the famous stupid pig rogue group, a thousand people The army of the army rushed up just as soon as the battle started, and started a life-and-death struggle.

"Skaven~yesyes~breakbreak~Skaven~the strongest~the most powerful~"

"We have a lot of rats~ we have a lot of rats~"

"The Horned Rat bless Skaven, will bless Skaven, yes, bless~"

On the other side, the morale of Ikert's Skryli army is also high. Clan rats and slave rats form a sea of ​​rats. With a large number of rats, the morale of the Skaven rats is high, and the plague monks raised the filthy Banners, chanting the motto of the Horned Rat, and the warlock engineers activated the terrible war machine. With the will of the Horned Rat, the technology of Ikt-Claw and the blessing of the plague, Skaven, what is there to fear? ? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!

Duke Theodoric also knew very well that there were a large number of Skaven ratmen, so when he started the war, his target was the commander on the left wing of the Skaven ratmen, the deputy of Ikert-Claw, from History Balquent-Mazquek, Warlock Engineer of Clan Curry.

"A lot of cavalry, a lot of cavalry~" Balquent-Mazquek's troops have thousands of clan rats and even more slave rats, but facing Duke Theodoric's personal attack, its troops are a little bit Unable to resist, I saw the soldiers of the Berleon stupid pig rogues march forward bravely with the Duke. Although they and the Duke dislike each other and wish to die face to face, but facing foreign enemies at this time, the Berleon people are still United together.

"Forward! For the lady and Bo Leon, for Britannia!" Holding shields, spears, and long swords, the stupid pig rogue group first stormed the weak point of the Skaven Skaven army. The number of Skaven was really overwhelming. There were too many, so that the formation was not spread out, and a considerable number of clan rats were blocked behind, and the slave rats were often defeated at a touch.

Theodoric, the Duke of Berleon, did not choose to gather the cavalry in one place, but dispersed the cavalry slightly. He himself led forty cavalry to charge. Theodoric had only one goal in his eyes, and that was this Si The head of the Calvin Ratman!

"Damn rat, get out! Your grandfather Theodoric is here to get your rat's head!"

A large row of clan rats formed a spear array, thousands of them at once, trying to stop Theodoric's charge. The Duke let out a loud shout, and he raised the sacred weapon in his hand. The blade swept across, and more than a dozen long spears were broken in response. Theodoric's angry roar made the nearby Skavens feel timid: "Rats, get out!"

"Huh! Ignorant hairless thing, ignorant!" Rats are rats, Skaven warlords and warlock engineers have no glory at all, and it laughs at the enemy's ignorance, recklessness, and chivalry , I thought to myself that I still have at least ten years to live, how could I exchange one with you, a hairless guy?

"Poisonous wind bombers, poisonous wind mortars, get ready." The engineering warlock waved his hand, and dozens of poisonous wind bombers and three weapon teams' poisonous wind mortars stepped forward, dozens of poisonous wind mortars full of plague Balls and shells are fired.

In order to avoid the poisonous gas, Duke Theodoric had to order the army to retreat temporarily. The Berleon army dropped more than a hundred corpses and gave up the attack in some confusion.

"Hahahaha~" The warlock engineer laughed loudly at the incompetence and fragility of human beings, regardless of the loss of at least 1,500 ratmen, and at least 500 ratmen were poisoned to death by his own poisonous gas.

"Bah!" Duke Theodoric spat, "Shameless bastard, you are a rat."

"Your Excellency, what shall we do now?" shouted his valet.

"It's okay, I've been prepared. Your Majesty reminded us that the Skaven's poisonous gas is powerful." Duke Theodoric raised his sacred weapon, the battle axe.

After the army formation, the two lake god prophets cast spells together, and a blast of wind was gathered under their control, and the unclean wind blew the poisonous gas and plague of the Skaven ratmen directly to the ratman army formation.

The Ratman's left wing collapsed immediately, the slave rats and clan rats howled to avoid the oncoming poisonous wind, and the formation became disorganized.

"Reform! Attack again." Duke Theodoric charged again.

At this moment, the warlock engineer Balquent began to realize that something was wrong. Apart from the horseshoes of Duke Theodoric's team of knights, there was another team of knights rushing towards where it was.

Headed by the Grail Knight of Carcassonne, Sir Amanric de Garderon.

This old Holy Grail is a strong man in the sanctuary. Even in the south of Brittania, there are very few Holy Grail knights as tall, strong, mighty and full of confidence in the goddess. Carcassonne was destroyed, but he still There is still a chance for revenge.

"Send the Stormrat Legion and the Carrying Squad to support Balakunt."

"Tristan, send two teams of Seagod Knights to defeat Skaven's left flank."

The two orders were issued almost simultaneously.

Both Boderick and Ickert have made determinations, and the confrontation between the Belion army and the Skaven left-wing army will become the key to this war.
