Chapter 205 Legendary Battle
Duke Roger was stationed at Gordon Castle on the north bank of the Oram River, more than ten kilometers away from the river bank.
The coalition of the three earls in the south wanted to rescue Nolan and prevent King Charles from being overthrown, so they had to take the initiative to go north, give up their advantage in water battles, and take the initiative to find Duke Roger to fight.
After crossing the Oram River, there is an endless plain. There is no waterway to go to Nolan.
Roger has Warcraft cavalry under his command. If this trouble cannot be solved, Roger can attack the logistics line of 100 kilometers from the Oram River to Nolan at any time.
Therefore, the coalition of the three earls in the south must defeat Roger first if they want to relieve Nolan's crisis.
It was already evening when the coalition of the three earls arrived at Gordon Castle.
Duke Roger stood on the top of Gordon Castle and looked at the setting sun, and suddenly felt a sense of coldness and magnificence.
The setting sun was like blood, and it was so brilliant when it fell from the horizon.
Roger stared at the coalition of the three earls, wondering why they arrived at the city in the evening since they were so anxious to fight.
After walking for a day, they had to set up camp at night, which was a serious test of the soldiers' physical strength.
If they were not a very elite army, they could not do this at all.
Although the soldiers under the command of the three earls in the south were also regular troops, they were stronger than the second-line legion, but far inferior to the main legion of the northern border, and even a little worse than the coalition of nobles in the northern border.
The three earls were all experienced people with many years of experience in leading troops, and they took the initiative to give Roger a loophole.
Roger also suspected it was a trap, but he had commanded cavalry for many years and liked to take risks when leading troops to fight.
An excellent cavalry commander must have a strong spirit of active attack, and many times when attacking, the commander must be required to take risks.
Since the opportunity for war appeared, Roger would certainly not let it go. He sent scouts to harass the coalition of the three earls.
While collecting intelligence, he looked for traps.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, the Southern Allied Forces had just set up camp, and Roger immediately led his troops to launch a surprise attack.
The Warcraft Cavalry commanded by Roger was very elite and easily broke through the defense line of the three earls.
The quality of the coalition forces was very poor. They were attacked by the Warcraft Cavalry, and the dense crowds of people suddenly fell into chaos.
The deafening sound of fighting submerged the camp of the Southern Allied Forces.
The Southern Allied Forces were attacked in the dark and unprepared, and a camp roar broke out. More than 30,000 troops immediately lost their organization and began to disintegrate on a large scale.
"Why is the combat effectiveness of the Southern Allied Forces so poor, as if they were serfs."
An idea came to Duke Roger's mind, and he wanted to withdraw his troops and stop chasing.
But the disintegrating enemy was like a piece of delicious fat meat, which made Duke Roger feel like he couldn't stop.
Because the enemy was defeated too easily, the Warcraft Cavalry led by Duke Roger chased farther and the queue was a little out of touch.
Just when Duke Roger was about to stop and reorganize the team, an elite Warcraft Cavalry suddenly appeared.
Although this group of Warcraft cavalry has only 800 people, it is the essence accumulated by the three earl families in the south for many years. Each Warcraft cavalry is a professional, and the Warcraft war horses are also carefully selected. Many of the war horses are second-level Warcraft. The equipment is better than that of the Warcraft cavalry brigade of the Northern Legion.
Seeing this group of Warcraft cavalry, Roger immediately ordered a retreat, but the order was conveyed a little late.
The dozens of cavalrymen who rushed to the front were surrounded by the Southern Coalition and were soon wiped out by the enemy.
The South is not famous for its Warcraft cavalry, but the combat effectiveness of this cavalry is extraordinary. Almost everyone wears enchanted armor, flashing a chilling cold light in the moonlight, holding a polished and shiny enchanted shield in their hands, and the soldiers' hot faces are full of bloodthirsty madness.
Facing the siege of the Southern Coalition Warcraft cavalry, Roger led his soldiers to flee frantically.
In this situation, once caught by someone. Even a ninth-level legendary knight like Roger may die in the melee.
After all, even legendary warriors can't stand being attacked by dozens or hundreds of spells.
On the battlefield, many legendary knights and legendary magicians died. Although Roger was a powerful knight, he didn't dare to lead dozens of soldiers to fight against hundreds of Warcraft cavalry.
The two sides chased and fled, and soon came to the vicinity of Gordonburg.
"Raise the fire."
Roger shouted, and the soldiers around him lit rockets and ignited the firewood piled outside Gordonburg in advance.
The blazing fire lit the outside of Gordonburg red.
The trebuchet operator on the top of the city could see the enemy's position clearly by the firelight.
As the bugle sounded, the counterweight trebuchet operator began to load stone bullets.
Compared with the torque trebuchet, the counterweight trebuchet is more accurate, and the trebuchet operator is easier to gain experience.
If it was daytime, the Warcraft cavalry under the command of the Southern Alliance would naturally not easily approach the walls of Gordonburg and enter the range of the heavy trebuchet.
After all, it is very difficult to train Warcraft cavalry, which requires a lot of personnel and financial costs.
The three earls had accumulated for many years, but the total number of Warcraft cavalry was only one thousand.
This time, they went north to relieve the siege, and brought 800 cavalry at once, just to hunt Duke Roger.
However, the vision was weak at night, and it was difficult to grasp the direction and distance. In addition, the cavalry commander of the Southern Alliance took the risk to approach the city wall and entered the range of the heavy catapult to fight.
Duke Roger personally acted as bait, so the power of the trap was naturally extraordinary.
More than 100 catapults of various sizes were installed in Gordon Castle, including 80 counterweight catapults and 60 torque catapults. These catapults launched stone bombs one after another, like falling meteors.
Even a sixth-level professional could not resist the 200-jin heavy stone bombs falling from the sky.
As long as they were hit by a giant stone bomb, both the man and the horse would be turned into meat patties.
Only a big guy with thick skin and flesh like a rhinoceros could withstand one or two heavy stone bombs.
After several rounds of stone bombs, the loss of the Southern Allied Forces exceeded 100 cavalry. For the total number of Warcraft cavalry, which was only 800 cavalry, this loss was a serious injury.
Seeing Duke Roger walking around the city, the Warcraft cavalry of the Southern Allied Forces did not dare to chase him.
Just when Duke Roger was relieved, a surprise attack suddenly appeared.
A flash of lightning broke through the night sky and hit Duke Roger. It was the fourth-ring magic lightning spell.
Although the lightning spell was only a fourth-ring magic, Duke Roger did not dare to underestimate it.
The power of magic depends not only on the number of rings, but also on the amount of magic power invested.
If you invest 60 points of mental power into a powerful four-ring magic, it is not uncommon to kill a legend.
Seeing the lightning coming, the fire dragon horse under Duke Roger's crotch immediately released a magic shield to block the lightning.
Roger's body lit up with magic aura, and he used the seven-ring magic holy light in his blood to protect him and his horse in the magic aura.
This lightning spell was indeed a powerful magic, easily penetrating two defenses and hitting Roger hard.
Roger secretly estimated that the power of this lightning spell exceeded the nine-ring magic by a lot, and the power was only slightly worse than the legendary magic. It is estimated that the mental power invested was more than 26 points.
The powerful lightning spell immediately hit Roger hard, making him feel numb all over his body.
Before Roger could breathe a sigh of relief, a fireball came towards Roger.
The diameter of this fireball was more than one meter, and it was a powerful magic that invested more than 20 points of mental power.
Roger was struck by lightning and was still numb, so he had no time to dodge.
Fortunately, the Fire Dragon Horse had good magic resistance and broke free from the numb state in advance, and immediately spit out a mouthful of flames.
The flames collided with the fireball, and suddenly there was a loud noise. A heat wave swept over, burning Roger's flesh, and the strong stinging finally made him sober up a little.
"The attacker is a legendary magician!"
A thought flashed through Roger's mind, but he didn't know anything about this mysterious legendary magician.
Seeing that the sneak attacking magician was about to release spells again, Roger's Warcraft cavalry drew their bows and arrows and shot crossbows at the enemy.
A layer of magic aura lit up on the attacker's body, easily blocking the arrows shot at him. It was a second-ring magic protective arrow.
A second-ring magic actually blocked dozens of enchanted crossbows. To be able to block dozens of arrows from the Warcraft cavalry at one time, the mental power invested was at least more than ten points.
According to Roger's estimation, in just three spells, nearly fifty points of mental power should be invested. Even for a legendary magician, most of the magic power should be consumed.
In fact, Roger did not know much about the combat power of a legendary magician. When the mental power exceeded fifty points, several special magic talents would be awakened.
Generally speaking, when the mental power exceeded twenty points, talents such as danger perception and meditation acceleration would be awakened. When the mental power exceeded thirty points, talents such as spell delay, spell extension, spell expansion would be awakened. When the mental power exceeded forty points, powerful talents such as strong casting and doubling of magic power would be awakened.
After entering the legendary level, talents that change the essence of life such as elemental resistance, life advancement, and soul eternal solidification would also be awakened.
If a second-level legendary magician mastered the two talents of super long magic and strong casting, the mental power consumed by the spell just released would probably be only ten points.
When the Warcraft cavalry under Roger saw that the attacker blocked the arrow, they immediately let the mounts under their crotch launch magic missiles.
Dozens of magic missiles were fired at the attacker. Even the legendary magician, whose magic resistance far exceeded that of ordinary people, did not dare to take on dozens of magic attacks.
The attacker immediately used a teleportation spell to dodge this wave of magic missiles.
Dozens of magic missiles hit the open space, causing dust and debris to fly everywhere.
After dodging dozens of energy missiles, the legendary magician once again released the seven-ring magic rainbow spray, spraying an energy ray at Roger.
It seemed that this legend would not stop until Roger was killed. Even if Roger was protected by the army, he had to completely solve the problem.
Facing this seven-ring magic, Roger was completely powerless to stop it.
Seeing that Roger was about to be killed, a gem on his chest lit up faintly.
Three figures appeared beside Roger. These three people are the senior members of the Grant Mage Association, led by Pansy Grant.
As soon as this nine-ring magician appeared, he immediately released a seven-ring magic spell to reverse the rainbow light spray and bounced back most of the energy.
The remaining energy rays were also blocked by the magic shield.
Even if reinforcements appeared around Roger, the attacker was still not panicked. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and immediately released an eight-ring magic to banish the other plane.
This magic was very effective, and Pansy and the other two were banished to the other plane in an instant.
To come back from the other plane, you need to be proficient in multiple subjects such as space geometry and plane geometry.
Even if a legendary knight has insufficient magic resistance and is hit by this spell and drifts to another plane, it will be difficult to return smoothly, and there is a high probability that he will be trapped in the other plane.
However, Pansy and others are all learned magicians, proficient in plane space science. Although they can return, it will take some time.
After exiling Pansy and the other three, the legendary magician who attacked by surprise had little magic power left, and immediately released a six-ring magic chain lightning.
Groups of electric snakes gathered around him, turned into a long snake, and hit Roger again.
Roger shouted, and countless flames jumped out of his body, and the whole person was like a real fire element.
The flames ignited from Roger's body and ignited the branches and leaves of the trees under his feet. Groups of flames burned around Roger, and a flaming long sword suddenly appeared on his hands.
The flaming long sword pierced the electric snake fiercely, and the powerful force of the electric snake immediately knocked Roger out more than ten meters away.
Seeing that the attacker was about to release magic again, the soldiers around Roger looked at each other in astonishment. They never expected that the attacker would be so difficult.
The powerful Duke Roger had no power to resist this mysterious attacker. It was as if an adult was beating a child, and it was extremely easy.
Roger's guards had been through many battles and had good mental strength. They restrained their fear and panic and released the bowstring at the same time. Then they urged the Warcraft Warhorse and raised the shield to protect Roger.
Just as the legendary magician who attacked secretly launched the final blow, a bright sword light appeared from behind the attacker.
When the sword light appeared, the attacker was shocked and showed an expression of disbelief.
The one who cut out this sword light was the old Duke of Brena, who was rumored to have died long ago.
"This is a successful deception, isn't it? What should I call you, the legendary magician Lei Yan Qiangwei? Or Elena of the Venus family?"
Duke Brena is a third-level legend, and he was also considered a strong man among the hundreds of legendary professionals in the Dawn Continent thirty years ago.
His sword has countless variations, blocking all of Elena's retreat routes. The powerful sword intent froze the nearby space, and all of Elena's space spells were simply unable to be cast.
Unless it is at its peak, exhausting mental power to release the legendary magic space conversion, there is a chance to escape this terrible sword.
Duke Brena's timing of attack was very perfect, and he was even mentally prepared to sacrifice Roger. He chose to strike a fatal sword when Elena's magic power was running low.
Normally, the third-level Duke Brena's combat power is much stronger than the first-level legendary Elena, but because the magician has mastered many mysterious means, the two should be unable to do anything to each other when they fight.
Moreover, Duke Brener was successfully plotted against by the Venus family. Although his own strength was beyond the expectations of the Venus family, he could hold on for a while and make a move once, but he had no chance of winning against the legendary magician, even with Pansy and Roger.
Because the legendary magician came and went freely and took the initiative in the battle.
This time, Duke Brener used a trick of faking his death, and fanned the flames to let King Charles stage a palace coup, sacrificing a lot of important figures such as Prince Chris, so as to deceive the Venus family and let the enemy in the dark jump out.
Then he used Roger, the first heir of the Grant Kingdom, as bait to successfully sneak attack the legendary magician Elena of the Venus family.
The sword of Duke Brener put Elena in a situation where she was doomed to die.
Elena wanted to use the space door to escape, but found that the space had been fixed by the sword, and she could not open the space in a short time.
A crystal light passed in front of her eyes, and Elena saw her head fall to the ground in an instant.
There was no fear on her face, but a strange smile, as if she was mocking Duke Brener.
After killing the enemy, Duke Brener seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength, and said weakly to Roger: "The Royal Guards are nearby, can you still command the battle?"
Duke Roger held the sword tightly and said: "Of course."
"Child, the future of the Grant family is in your hands."
After saying this, Duke Brener exhausted his last bit of strength and slowly closed his eyes.
Roger held back his tears, suppressed his sadness, and immediately sent soldiers to contact the Guards. The southern coalition's Warcraft Cavalry was surrounded by the front and back attacks.
Seeing the appearance of the Royal Guards, the three earls felt that a disaster was coming.
One careless move, the whole game was lost.
Finding that the situation was over, the Warcraft Cavalry fled and rebelled.
The three earls were very decisive and immediately fled to the south bank of the Oram River with their confidants.
They didn't even dare to return to their territory, and fled to the Kingdom of Delong in a panic to seek asylum.
The Kingdom of Delong and the Kingdom of Grant had serious territorial disputes, and the two countries had been in border conflicts for hundreds of years.
The Duke of Guise and the Duke of Duran were once great nobles of the Kingdom of Delong, and joined the Kingdom of Grant with their territories.
If the three earls of the south could join the Kingdom of Delong with their territories, the situation in the southern part of the Kingdom of Grant would become very dangerous.
In order to prevent the worst situation, Roger had no time to feel sad and sent people to collect the body of the Duke of Brena. With serious injuries, he personally commanded the Royal Guards and easily surrounded and annihilated the coalition forces of the three earls. Then, without resting, he led the army south to quell the rebellion the next day.
Duke Roger led his troops to suppress the rebellion very quickly. Before the three earls contacted the Kingdom of Delon, Roger's army had already captured the territories of the three earls and turned the three southern earldoms into provinces directly under the royal family.
This time, the Grant family lured the snake out of its hole. Although Duke Brenner died, the hidden dangers were eliminated. They also took over three wealthy provinces in the south, and their strength became stronger.
After receiving the news that the south was defeated and the legendary magician Elena of the family died, the members of the Venus family in the Gascoigne province immediately got into big trouble.
