Chapter 522: Central War (End)

The eye slit in the helmet restricted his vision, and Luen could only see straight ahead, but when he turned his head, he saw three hammer trucks leaning against the central square, and a catapult, desperately throwing asphalt rolling stones as a cover.

The people of Vaegir came out of the gap, "wedge formation" he ordered, the cavalry unit intertwined with long spears, and he served as the spear point, everyone rode very close, knees bumped into each other with the ups and downs of the horse's back, leaning against the high wall Let's go, the black and white battle flag flutters in the wind, the white bear dances with the black eagle, the team bypasses the bottom of the fort, and the marching speed gradually accelerates.

Arrows shot out from the city wall, stones whirled overhead, and blindly crashed into the buildings on the ground, smashing steel and flesh. The iron oak battering ram rushed towards the cavalry.

"Likes ready." Rune ordered, facing the battering ram without slowing down at all, and began to sprint. Archers holding demon-destroyers surrounded them. As long as someone showed up on the city gate tower, they would immediately aim and shoot.

The ground was wet and sticky, full of filth mixed with mud and blood. His horse tripped over a corpse, its hooves slipped on the mud, and it almost jumped out of the queue. Luckily, Luen used his strength to stabilize the horse. Maintain the balance of people and horses.

The enemy army under the city gate roared and rushed up, meeting the cavalry's impact with flesh and blood.

Rune raised his big sword and shouted: "Long live Vaegir." The soldiers echoed loudly, and the cavalrymen flew out, making a long scream of steel tearing silk, and the rolling horseshoes met the blades of spears and spears into flames. .

The battering ram was quickly forgotten in the mud, and those who gathered around it either fled or fought desperately. Rune rode his horse and knocked down a soldier who held his shield high, cutting off his arm from shoulder to armpit with a sword, and then A sword cut through the opponent's helmet. This great sword is a very rare enchanted weapon. Although it is not legendary, it is also powerful. Rune is handy in using it. The shield shatters everywhere the sword hits, and the hands are broken and bones are separated.

Through the heavy padded helmet, the sound of wailing in pain, the crackling of fire hungry and burning, the loud warhorn and the roar of griffins, blood and fire everywhere.

The Lancers finally passed the battering ram, and the enemy army began to flee. Rune looked left and right, but there was no sign of Tashanmu. They rode their horses and marched among the scattered corpses, cutting the throat of every lying enemy.

"Nice job."

Someone rode up to Lu En's side, and hit Lu En's chest with his gauntleted right fist: "This city is ours now."

"It's a pity that Ta Shangmu was not found."

Rune tidied up his helmet, chatting with his fellow travelers every sentence,

They led the team forward in the flickering flames and blowing soot, passed the ruins of the residential area, and stepped on the long bridge of the lord.

"It's not that easy."

The fellow traveler smiled. He was very young, with black hair combed neatly and parted. Even after a bloody battle, he was not too messy. He was wearing a jet-black armor with sun-shaped diamonds around his helmet. The eagle has ruby ​​eyes, and the female eagle on the shoulders buckles the long and heavy golden mantle, which hangs down to cover the horse's rump, and the horse armor is also gilt, and it is decorated with the eagle of the family of Charles.

Charles Charlie, the new king of the Ayo Kingdom, his father is the famous hero Nelson Charlie, who once led 10,000 people in Broken Mountain Fortress to block the raiding Viper Dragon tide in the "Nightmare Returns" campaign, fighting to the death without retreating until the end There were two hundred and fourteen people. Afterwards, the emperor of the Northern Empire ordered people to mourn him and posthumously named him the "Eagle King". Charles Charles was also known as the "Son of the Eagle".

The descendant of this hero is not in vain. After Nelson's death, the severely damaged Ayyo Kingdom should have been annexed by other countries in the Al Sara region, but after Charles came to power, he relied on his efforts to govern and unite the vertical and horizontal (of course, there are also the Black Wing Empire. Blessing and support), and soon saved the country from the shadow of a serious loss of vitality. In the following five years, the national strength has been booming, and it has a vague tendency to become the leader in the Al Sara region.

"The one in the north still didn't give up on Vaegir in the end." Luen Joseph whispered, a glimmer of haze flashed in the eyes of the king of Vaegir and the hidden necromancer.

No matter who it is, they should be dissatisfied. Luen thinks that he has given enough sincerity. As early as the beginning of the attack on Kehor, Vaegia had cut off the retreat and surrendered to the north, but the other party has not given up. In response, it was not until the Vaegirs ran out of ammunition and food that they were almost trapped to death by Tashanmu, and finally saw the dawn—the reinforcements from Alsara arrived.

A week ago, under the instruction of the Black Wing Empire, Charles led the Alsara army to come. Not only did he help Vaegir break the siege of Fort Vail, but he and Lun Joseph also wiped out the hostile forces of the entire city-state of Quhor. Started to launch a counterattack against Tashanmu's coalition forces.

"Don't be angry." Charles patted him on the shoulder very sunnyly: "The Dark Emperor probably didn't plan to go to war with the Buluo Empire at the beginning, and he should have taken a lot of risks by intervening in the affairs of the middle."

Luen Joseph pinned the big sword, suddenly fell silent, and said after a while, "When will I see him?"

"I don't know about that." Charles smiled: "After all, I've only seen it on the murals. If you must see them, maybe there will be a chance after this war is over."

"The war of mortals." Lu En said softly with unknown meaning.

...

When the last of the scouts returned to the castle at dawn, the maester came looking for him.

"My Lord Führer," he said, "we are losing."

Tashanmu stared blankly at the plate of oats, sucrose and sausages in front of him. Another sleepless night made him sore all over. He was hungry but felt sick when he saw the food: "Enrithil hasn't answered yet?"

"No," said the maester. "And those southerners from Blarn Isle didn't move either."

"Send someone to invite again!" He slammed his fist on the dinner plate. "Alsara has already joined the war. It is impossible for the trading city-state to defend it with its own strength. Enrithil wants me to surrender?"

"You're right." The bachelor said, "We should be on the defensive now. The opponent's next target is Mien. As long as Mien stays behind closed doors, he will be able to restrain Luen Joseph and his allies and make them powerless." Furthermore, if necessary, Mi'en's food reserves are enough to support the siege for a year."

"There won't be any siege." Tashangmu shook his head: "In the first day or two, they might camp down to process ladders and bind claw hooks, but once they find it's useless, these guys will build a magic circle to force them to teleport. Once successful, Mien will be simultaneously breached in hundreds of locations, just like yesterday."

Under the layers of leather, steel and wool, Tashanmu was already slightly sweating: "I want wine, it's best to have a barrel."

A fire was lit in the lord's bedroom. He sat by the fireplace and poured a glass of midsummer from the wine cellar. This wine was produced in the north that was hostile to him. There are transactions, but I have a business secretly.

A reply from the south arrived soon, "The Buluo Empire has promised to provide assistance, and Mance has led a large group of people up the river and headed northward in a mighty way."
