Chapter 274, Reaching a Tacit Agreement
In the depths of the Sharon Forest, the Greenskin Fortress.
The heavy snow is drifting on the battlefield. An army of 1,500 people is stepping into the battlefield neatly. Sword and shield soldiers and sergeants holding shields are slowly advancing. Crossbowmen and Wood Elf forest guards are mixed in Meanwhile, the dwarven musketeers stood alone in three rows, no one wanted to stand in front of the dwarves.
Not far away, the Greenskin Fortress has been dilapidated, and many places have been completely destroyed. The goblins tried hard to repair the tower, but the dense arrow rain and dwarf muskets made the goblins only dare to hide He couldn't lift his head in the fortress.
"Shoot!" Some goblin archers tried to fight back. They barely got up from behind the walls of the fortress and shot back at the serf crossbowmen.
"咻咻咻~" Sparse arrows were shot at the coalition soldiers, and many serf infantry immediately raised their shields to resist, but there were still a few unlucky ones who were shot, but luckily none of them were serious.
"Fei's Light of Sanctuary!" A young apprentice witch was trying to cast a spell.
Fei's Light of Sanctuary, a second-ring spell, a simple protective spell.
Platinum light surrounded the apprentice witch's body. The apprentice witch tried to condense the power of the wind of magic, but she felt very painful due to the faint sensation.
"Concentrate! Naomi, imagine, imagine your own magical construction, then fill it with the power of the wind of light, and release it in one go!" Veronica pointed loudly beside her: "Concentrate! Control look at yourself!"
"Control..." The apprentice witch tried her best to concentrate, and the power of the wind of light slowly formed in her mind.
The bright wind of heaven was finally controlled by an apprentice witch named Naomi. The apprentice witch released a protective light, covering the serf infantry. This spell is a very basic protective spell, and the actual effect is also It can only be said that the light of shelter can only protect soldiers from ordinary arrows and basic spears at most, and it only lasts for two or three minutes. The light of shelter of this witch apprentice can only cover a row of seven or eight soldiers. , the effect can only be said to be better than nothing.
However, this is extremely valuable practical experience for witch apprentices who have not gone out for a long time to go to class. The witch apprentices who usually practice spellcasting near the wizard tower and the wizard tower experienced the feeling of the battlefield for the first time. Many soldiers Because they failed to cast spells in time, they were injured and even lost their lives forever.
This is the cruelty of the battlefield.
Seeing that the witch apprentices finally realized what war is, Veronica nodded in satisfaction. Then, a powerful spell was uttered in the mouth of Witch Jialan, and a huge fire elemental air mass gradually formed in front of her. .
The fire element air mass larger than a cow burst and burned in the air, and the snow on the entire ground melted.
Eight-ring magic, Pyroblast!
Veronica's witch Catherine also muttered: "Sparkling gaze!"
The white mana light sphere condensed in front of Catherine, and the scorching gaze was a four-ring spell, a relatively rare direct damage spell in the light magic.
"Ahhhh! I thought that the fireball can't be touched!" The goblin shaman on the city wall was frightened, and it shouted the name of its own warg: "Boys, don't blame me, I told you, if You can't stand it, I will run faster than you!"
After finishing speaking, the goblin shaman mounted his own wolf and rushed directly towards the mine below the city fortress.
"You still want to run?" Veronica shouted coquettishly, and the terrible Pyroblast flew directly towards the Goblin Shaman. The speed of the fire element air mass was not very fast, but the Pyroblast blasted a section of the city wall one after another. , a sentry tower and a stone statue of Mao Ge showed no signs of stopping.
"Wow! I thought I was going to be blown to death!" The goblin shaman howled miserably, urging the wolf to escape as soon as possible.
The flames of the Pyroblast ignited the Warg's buttocks, and the Warg was so hot that it couldn't stop whining: "Woooooooooo~"
"Boom!" There was a huge explosion, leaving only ashes on the spot.
Dwarf engineer Dugan-Tiehan raised his thumb and pointed at the gate of the dwarf city: "The elevation angle is forty-three degrees!"
"Forty-three degrees!" The dwarf heavy cannon turned its muzzle and aimed at the gate of the city fortress. The engineer took out the cast iron shell and stuffed it into the barrel from behind.
"fire!"
"Boom!" With a dull sound, the shell drew a perfect parabola in everyone's eyes, a wisp of green smoke diffused in the air, the city gate exploded, sawdust splashed, and the tall city gate was blown out by the artillery. .
"Kill! Kill!" The sergeants rushed to the crack in the city gate. Many goblins were trying to block the big hole with planks and stones. Sergeant Deni immediately pointed at the gate: "Destroy them!"
"Ahhh!" The sergeants and crossbowmen swarmed up, a dozen crossbowmen crowded at the gate of the city, and fired a row of crossbow bolts. The goblins were hit by arrows one after another, and the kingdom knight Hux shouted: "Stand back, the loaded ones!" , move forward with good bullets!"
The soldiers who were loading their ammunition retreated again and again, and the soldiers who loaded their crossbows squeezed into the hole in the city gate again, aiming and shooting, and the goblins who wanted to block the city gate suffered heavy casualties.
"We can't hold it anymore, we can't hold it anymore!" The goblins tried many times to repair the hole in the city gate to no avail, and their morale collapsed. The ground hit the vital part of the city gate, and the wood that tied the gate made a painful snapping sound.
The city gate fell, and a large group of ranger knights and sergeants rushed into the green leather fortress first. They shouted the name of the lady, and brutally destroyed all living things in sight. The serf infantry followed closely, and Gob Lin is not a creature with strong fighting power. After a series of battles, the serf infantry were no longer afraid of the Beastmen and Goblins. The wood elves and dwarves join in.
"The goblins have nowhere to escape, Your Excellency Angron." A stone's throw away from the city, the Holy Grail Knight Armand said happily to Angron.
The white bear's fur behind Angron's back was covered with snow, and he was holding a large package in his hand, which contained vibranium - the strongest metal known in the Old World: "Very well, the purpose of this military training has been achieved , and my goal has been achieved.”
"Leave the rest of the follow-up arrangements to you, Armand, I'm here, clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, burn down the city, and we can retreat. After this battle, there are no greenskins and beastmen in Sharon Forest. I won’t be able to regain my vitality for decades or twenty years.” Angron nodded calmly: “Go, don’t disappoint my brother’s trust.”
"Aren't you going to take a look, Your Excellency?" Armand rode on his pure-blood elf horse, and he finally asked, "You are the chief general appointed by Your Excellency the Earl."
"Ha~ My brother asked me to come to make me a mountain. A mountain cannot move. If the mountain moves, this war has already been lost." Angron picked up his wine bottle and went up. The waiting Kislev vodka was crystal clear, and snowflakes fell on it, like a beautiful snow scene in winter: "Go."
"Yes!" Angron was not a Holy Grail Knight, but Armand knew very well the strength of the man in front of him, so the flag officer and lieutenant stopped talking and galloped.
Angron raised his head and drank the vodka "ton ton ton" in one gulp, and then stretched out his big hand to wipe his mouth clean. After the Butcher's Nail was gone, the Primarch of the World Eaters had already realized the wisdom and prudent strategy Better to get what you want.
"This kind of life is really comfortable." Angron felt very comfortable with the flaming stimulation of vodka. He looked at the burning green leather fortress and smiled.
…………
At seven o'clock in the evening, a small banquet was held in the earl's castle. The banquet was held in the castle hall. The servants lit the stove, and the host and guests gathered around the long table, enjoying themselves happily.
More than a dozen griffin knights lined up on Ryan's left. Most of them had beards and wore imperial aristocratic costumes. They were full of fierce and fierce aura. There was a yellow griffin symbol on the red and white coat of arms. , the leader is Ryan's righteous brother, Anton Ferdinand, Earl of Griffin.
On Ryan's right is his fiancée Suria, and then there are a total of twelve Holy Grail knights. They are the Holy Grail knights sent to protect the safety of the lake goddess Morgiana. They have various family crests, only the Holy Grail. The logo is exactly the same.
Servants lined up to bring the food. Katzenberg, the butler, came first with bread and butter, followed by wine and beer by the barman and his assistant.
"I prayed to the lady. I will not and cannot express my opinion, Anton." Ryan sat at the main seat of the banquet, and the bright magic chandelier illuminated the entire hall. Looking at his righteous brother, he said: "I am the lady's god-chosen champion, and I can't do whatever I want."
Anton was stunned for a while, then quickly nodded in understanding: "I understand, I understand."
If any other knight told Earl Griffin that it meant the fairy of the lake, Anton would definitely think that the other party was talking nonsense, but if Ryan said that, Anton would be convinced of it.
According to the intelligence network of the empire, Ryan is deeply favored by the gods. The fairy of the lake, as the patron saint of the knight kingdom, has appeared by his side or performed miracles many times. Originally, Ivan also tried to introduce someone to Ryan. While looking for candidates, there was news that Ryan was engaged.
Anton turned his attention to Suria again. The noble and charming female knight is the daughter of François, Duke of Wenford, and she is also the goddess of the lake. From a standard point of view, the Marquis Suria is also a top-notch match, but the fairy in the lake married such a beautiful daughter of a great nobleman to Ryan, which is already very self-explanatory.
The dark elf maid Olika brought an iron plate with tomato Tyrell noodles, a half-boiled egg, and a large piece of snowflake steak. The meat of the snowflake steak is tender and moderately fat and thin. There's dwarven Bagman's and wood elves' fine pastries.
Not only did the Griffin Knights of the Empire have never tasted this food, even the Holy Grail Knights who had been stationed here for a long time had never tasted these delicacies. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the Holy Grail Knights had a good relationship with many knights in the empire. .
"May I take the liberty to ask, what is the will of the lady in the lake..." Anton whispered to Ryan again: "I didn't mean to spy on the oracle, I meant..."
"I will be silent and neutral in this war, Anton." Ryan picked up a piece of snowflake steak and bit his ear with Anton: "Ma'am, I don't want to see human internal friction, but I am not allowed to oppose Lord Kasvann, either. The first Duke of Palaion, Agilgar, was one of the twelve first-generation Holy Grail Knights, and the Palaion family has a long history in the kingdom."
There were several thoughts in Anton's mind, and he nodded reluctantly: "I know you tried your best, Ryan, this result is not bad, but can you convince a few dukes, especially His Excellency Bohemond and Freddie? Monsieur Rancois remains neutral?"
He needs Ryan to get some dry goods out, otherwise he can't go back to the business.
Lane looked thoughtful as he ate his beef in silence.
Anton was also very calm, and both of them fell into silence.
At the banquet scene, the Holy Grail Knights and the Griffin Knights were fighting for wine. They ate meat, and a few Holy Grail Knights could eat a whole pig's meat and a whole barrel of wine together. If Ryan hadn't been promoted to Earl, the family Great business, he really doesn't have the capital to let these Holy Grail knights let go.
As the hostess of the castle, Suria skillfully coordinated all the people at the banquet, and made many small conflicts invisible. The noble dress moved lightly, and all the knights at the banquet were very willing to give the hostess face , all the guests and hosts had a good time.
The female knight turned around and came to Anton: "Brother Anton, for your health and everyone's health, please let us drink this cup to the brim."
"Okay!" Anton didn't say much, and with the help of his servant, he drank a full glass of wine: "I salute you, Mrs. Suria."
"I salute you, my brother-in-law!" The female knight held up the goblet with a smile on her face. She just took a sip, her ivory-like skin was slightly flushed, and she looked like she couldn't drink enough.
After drinking a cup, the female knight naturally leaned on Ryan, and said seemingly casually: "Your Excellency Anton, please forgive Ryan's difficulties. There are some things that he can't decide. He is just an earl, and he can be used to persuade the Duke." Not much."
Ryan squeezed Suria's hand gently as if he was a little dissatisfied, and said something in her ear with some complaints.
The unmarried couple's actions could not be hidden from Anton's eyes, and he had a little understanding of what Ryan meant.
The Earl of Griffin waved to the Griffin Riders: "Bring that!"
"Yes!" Two griffon riders who seemed to be drinking too much immediately regained their clarity and sanity.
Ryan looked at Anton with puzzled eyes.
"Ryan, I know that things are a little troublesome this time, and it is really difficult for you to be caught between us, so I will never treat you badly." Anton had a faint smile on his face: "This time, I brought you a good thing~ Do you want to know what it is?"
Two Griffin Knights pushed a huge square box in from the outside, and Anton raised his hand, motioning for everyone to take off the black cloth.
"This is?!" I want to chat about "Warhammer God" with more like-minded people, follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, chat about life, and find a confidant~
