Chapter 130 Steel Torrent

Roger raised his shotgun warily and aimed at the crow.

Major Vasa raised his hand in time to stop it: "Don't shoot yet, it looks like an 'animal messenger'."

Sure enough, as he expected, the crow landed on Joan's horseback, making a very humane quack, as if to say hello.

Qiao An caressed the crow's feathers, untied a note from its lap, unfolded it and quickly browsed through it, confirming that it was a message from grandpa.

In this letter to his grandson, old man Guillaume Tell first introduced the current situation in Delin Town. The good news is that 500 Asa hunting cavalry led by Magny Powhatan have arrived in Delin Township this morning to assist the militia to strengthen its defense. The bad news is that the enemy's strength has also increased greatly. "Lord Hobgoblin" Leto personally led an army to form a coalition with Cottard's Lizardman Corps. Sa hunting cavalry is equal, calculated in this way, the situation in Delin Town is even more dangerous than before!

The old man Thiel couldn't hide his pessimistic attitude between the lines. In the last paragraph of this letter, he once again urged his grandson: If he can't win the assistance of the Vasa Knights, he must never go back to Delin Town. Leiden Port is his home. place.

After reading the letter, Joan tore off the last piece of letter paper, crumpled it up and stuffed it into his mouth, suppressed his nausea and swallowed it, then handed the rest of the letter paper to Major Vasa.

After seeing it, Major Vasa discussed with Major Green and Captain Daniel in a low voice. The three quickly reached a consensus and decided to hurry up and try to reach Delin Town before dark, and cooperate with the defenders in the town to attack the enemy. But before that, he had to reply a letter to old man Tire to confirm the details of the cooperation.

Major Vasa entrusted Green with the task of answering the letter, and Weiss arranged for the delivery of the letter. The lizardman prince has 7 druid levels, and it is not difficult for him to cast the 2-level natural magic of "Animal Messenger" - he doesn't even need to look for the messenger, just send that smart crow to fly back to reply the letter. up. This crow was able to fly safely from Delin Town to Joan, which shows that it is familiar with the road conditions along the way, and also knows how to bypass the enemy sentries and avoid malicious arrows from the ground...

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening, and under the cover of twilight and woods, the Knights arrived at a higher terrain and bushy slope outside Delin Town. Major Vasa rode his horse up the hillside and observed the situation inside and outside Delin Town through a telescope.

Qiao An was eager to understand the safety of the town, and he didn't have a telescope in his hand to extend his vision. He simply climbed a big tree and looked down at Delin Town three miles away. With the last ray of the setting sun, he saw thick smoke billowing over the town. , There was a faint cry of killing in the wind. The troops of Cottard and Letu were deployed on the southeast and southwest sides of Delin Town respectively. Under the leadership of their respective lords, a large group of goblins and lizardmen were attacking Delin Town from two directions at the same time.

Four days later, Qiao An found that the fortifications in Delin Town had been strengthened—the trench was widened by five feet, and a layer of repelling horses was added, and several wire ropes were stretched between the repelling horses, further strengthening the defense against the enemy. The role of cavalry charge. However, what made him deeply disturbed was that "Son of the Devil" Cottard also seemed to have learned a lesson from the failed offensive four days ago. He did not order the lizard warriors riding the hadrosaurs to attack the position like last time, but It is to send a group of infantry holding tower shields to advance slowly to block the arrows flying from the opposite side. Lizardmen archers holding longbows follow closely behind, and under the cover of tower shields, they are about 300 meters away from the defensive position. At the yard, they immediately stretched their bows and set up arrows to collectively shoot arrows coated with hot glue.

The high-speed flight of the arrow rubs against the air to generate high temperature, igniting the blazing glue and turning it into a rocket, drawing flashing arcs in the air and roaring towards the opposite position. It was obvious that Cottard intended to use the rockets to burn the Juma, and after clearing this obstacle, he would charge forward.

In fact, not only Joan saw Cottard's plan, George Vasa also realized the urgency of the situation, put down the binoculars and whispered a few words with Green and Daniel beside him, and then ordered the whole army to attack!

The herald blew the charge horn, and three hundred imperial cavalry shouted in unison, and followed George Vasa to rush down the hillside. The breastplate, steel shield, and lance shone silver in the setting sun, like a torrent of steel sweeping across the wasteland, unstoppable. Flock to the lizardman position.

Cottard, who was commanding the battle outside Delin Town at this moment, couldn't believe that an enemy army suddenly came out from behind him. His own bewilderment was like an electric current that was transmitted downwards and amplified layer by layer. Within minutes, the entire lizardman position fell into chaos, and when George Vasa's knights approached, Cottard had no time to reorganize the defense.

The passionate bugle echoed under the twilight sky, and the charging knights raised their spears and stabbed fiercely at the bewildered lizardmen standing in front of them. The sharp tip of the spear easily pierced through the leather armor and scales, and the corpses were picked up by the spear one after another, blood and mourning intertwined into a cruel picture in the setting sun.

The charge of three hundred knights wiped out most of Cottard's troops in one charge. Prior to this, Flint and Magny who were stationed in the town had already received a reply from Major Vasa sent by Old Man Tell, so they were not surprised that the Knights appeared on the battlefield. A counterattack was ordered at the moment when the raid was in disarray.

The militiamen in Delin Town moved away and rushed out. After being besieged for many days, they finally had the opportunity to fight back. Of course, they would not show mercy. At the same time, Magni led the Asa Hunters to launch a counterattack from the southeast defense line, forcing Letu to have no time to allocate troops to support his lizardman allies, and could only watch the Cold-Blooded Corps collapse under the pincer attack.

When the knights charged, Joan and the others were also excited by the sound of the horn, and urged their horses to rush to the battlefield. The vengeful lizardman prince simply transformed into a falcon and soared into the air, rushing straight at Kotal. It is not easy to find the enemy who killed his father on the chaotic battlefield. Fortunately, the seven heads of the flame snake lizard that Cottal was riding were all spewing fire and thick smoke, and there was no more conspicuous target on the battlefield than this.

"Cottard, your time has come!"

Weiss landed on the opposite side of the father-killing enemy, returning to human form, his eyes full of vengeful anger.

"Weiss? You're still alive!" Cottard was surprised when Weiss appeared in front of him, and his expression changed instantly, "You brought those human knights here? Damn Bassoon, what have you been doing these two days? What are you doing, you can't do such a small thing well, you're such an old trash!"
