Act 28: The Great War Begins III

Calglis suppressed the tension in his heart, and told everything he saw one by one. After the defeat of the left wing of the Vieros, Count Jacques placed his defensive position in a forest, hoping to use the terrain advantage to limit Madara's skeleton cavalry. Play with Horror. After losing the left wing, the width and width of the Viero people's defense line became extremely narrow, and they were surrounded by the undead army on three sides. Madara sent skeleton swordsmen to attack. The lethality was almost zero, only the sanctified crossbow bolts by the priests of the Temple of Fire had the desired effect, but the number was too small, so it could basically have no impact on the battle situation. The strength of the skeleton swordsmen is slightly inferior to that of human soldiers, but they are superior in number. Viero Fang's sharp crossbowmen can't play a role, and the remaining more than a thousand knights and heavy infantry are caught in a bitter battle.

Like all human armies battling the undead, the Vieros resisted tenaciously, and the dark nobles of Madara were accustomed to this, and their response was simple, exchanging casualties with the Vieros no matter the cost. When Brando heard this, he understood that Earl Jacques was in danger. Skeletons were resistant to arrows. The Vieros didn't bring enough priests to accompany the army. , without being affected by casualties, human beings could not accept the despair of comrades in arms falling beside them one by one. Sure enough, the Vieiro people fell into chaos very quickly.

"So the Vieros are almost finished?" Brando asked.

"It's almost finished, my lord, but Madara's infantry is still involved. The elite heavy crossbowmen of the Vieros are not a big threat to skeletons, but they are a great threat to dread spirits. The blood staff is here Two fear spirits were damaged in this battle, and it is estimated that they are vowing to take down the elite force of the Vieros. What's more, the current exchange ratio is very favorable to them, so there is no reason to let go of this opportunity."

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, my lord."

"So what do you think of both parties?" Brando sat on the horse and asked meaningfully.

"The Knights of the Vieros are a joke. In my opinion, they shouldn't have come. Those knights have made Count Jacques miserable. Without them, the Vieros wouldn't have lost so badly. "

"Duke Viero can't stop them from coming." Brando smiled with sarcasm.

The others around him couldn't help but frown, especially those from aristocratic families like Caglis. It's only natural for the retainers to serve the lord. This tradition has been maintained by Eruin and Cruz for hundreds of years. , It seems to be a matter of course, it's no big deal, but why it seems to have suddenly become a big problem. Only Brando understands in his heart that it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses in the battles of the lords in the past. It is nothing more than a loss of money. It is an aristocratic war; Negative from this moment on is related to life and death,

The low efficiency of army composition began to become the Achilles' heel.

"What about the rest?"

"It's okay. Tomobo's noble knights and heavy infantry have the strength of the Ampersel Harbor Guards and the Southern Army, but the number is too small. If the elite crossbowmen can play their due roles, they can still fight. Now what? ..." Cagles clicked his tongue. Tomob is the real name of Earl Jacques. Caglis has always been cynical, so he lacks due courtesy to the nobles except Brando and His Royal Highness, calling him by his name instead of giving him a nickname He already respected the Earl's courage, and the so-called being able to fight in his mouth was only able to confront the army of 4,000 skeletons head-on.

"Where are the Lantonilanders?"

"Eco was stopped by Madara's skeleton cavalry, directly opposite us, they always wanted to go to support Tomobe, but the gang of skeletons didn't give him this chance. But the Lantonilanders are so powerful, they didn't let them occupy It was a little cheaper, and I saw Aike and his knights going around with those skeleton cavalry, probably waiting for us to arrive at the battlefield."

Brando smiled. It must be Aike's fiancée Yula who commanded this army. Ke died too early, and Aruin's history may be different later. At that time, there were several strong men in the southern border. In addition to Aike and Yula, there was also Ke Wen in front of him. If these three people could join forces, plus the highland knights, Madara's invasion might not be so smooth. At that time, the blood stick Yura also played an important role in being ambushed in Tothankad Forest.

"Tell me about Madara." He deliberately raised his voice, and sure enough, everyone else pricked up their ears. Except for Brando, most of the people here are concerned about the "opponent" that the lord has always valued. 'Very curious. From what they heard, those skeletons are not worth mentioning. Except for Brando and Freya, even the mercenaries who escaped from Butcher didn't think that Madara would be Eruin's enemy. People are more or less influenced by such thoughts, but what they see today seems to let them see the other side of that Bromando rose.

Uta is fully armed and sitting on the saddle. This female mercenary captain is not used to the heavy armor on her body, but she can't put it down. This beautiful armor full of embossing is now proving her status as a nobleman and knight commander in the kingdom. This is exactly the status she has always wanted. If she had this status earlier, she might be able to protect her younger sister then, she sighed secretly. Upon hearing Brando's words, Uta pouted again, turned around and said to Fern, "The lord is here again."

The knight commander, who was born in the Karasu cavalry, glanced at her, a little coldly, and didn't answer.

"Those skeletons are really that powerful?"

"It's stronger than you imagined, but not as outrageous as the lord said." Fern replied.

"I think the lord was probably frightened by them in Butch. Hehe, although our lord is unbelievably powerful, young and handsome, he is just a child after all." Uta smiled.

Fern glanced at her, saying that was a bit too disrespectful, the blood stick bears a blood feud for every Karasu, and he is no exception, the lord kept his promise that day and brought him here, he was only grateful , Thinking of having the chance to personally kill the blood stick, this mercenary captain who was born in the Karasu cavalry only felt that his blood was about to boil. Of course, he may agree with Uta's words in his heart, but he would never describe the lord in this way.

At this moment, in front of Brando, Caglis was silent for a moment: "If possible, I really don't want to be their enemy. To deal with them, I have to kill them completely. I feel tired after thinking about it."

"That's all?"

"It's still a little strong."

"powerful?"

"There was a skeleton swordsman who defeated Tomobe, and their costumes were something I had never seen before—their strength far surpassed ordinary ribs, but the strange thing is that we have never had this kind of skeletons before. Rumors of swordsmen. I suspect that apart from Dread Spirits and Skeleton Cavalry, Madara also has many established high-level military units that we have not heard of, and they have never appeared in past wars." Ka Gliss replied thoughtfully.

"Describe it?"

"The skeleton swordsman is a little different from the general bone frame. They use a palm-wide two-handed sword."

"A two-handed swordsman."

"Yes, two-handed swordsman." Caglis nodded: "It's different from the mail armor of ordinary skeletons. They wear black half armor, but don't wear a helmet, as if they are wearing iron foot guards."

"Is there a spider embossed on the breastplate of the bust?"

Caglis looked up at Brando in surprise: "Lord, have you seen them?"

Brando smiled, and sure enough, here he is, Spider Swordsman. He looked at Karglis and continued to ask, "And then?"

"They are very powerful," Caglis was a little surprised. He knew his mission before he went to Sylman, so in addition to Brando teaching him about Madara, he also specially looked for Ann Titina has borrowed information about that dark country, but there is no book about that kind of peculiar two-handed swordsman. He feels that his lord is a bit unusual, so he replied cautiously: " Ordinary knights are not their opponents, they have at least the strength of a Tier 3 army."

"Tier three, an organized army?" Fern finally couldn't help but said, "This is impossible!"

There are indeed many high-level undead in Madara, among which the bone dragon is a creature up to the ninth level. There were a total of three bone dragons in the army of the Instar dragon, but they are like the existence of generals in the Aruin army. , Once they appear on the battlefield, they are often conspicuous targets, and Eruin also has masters of elemental civilization, so when these high-level creatures appear on the battlefield, they are often unlikely to cause much damage to the general army.

In Warnd's military theory, only established high-level creatures can be called high-level troops.

But Madara, like Eruin, also lacks a high-level army. Its basic army is skeletons and zombies, which are even inferior to human soldiers. The slightly higher-level ones are black knights and ghosts (the pale rider also belongs to ghosts) a), but the amount is too small. If it weren't for the unique attributes of the undead, Madara has always been inferior to the small country of Aruin in terms of military strength. Because of this, for thousands of years, the two sides can still fight back and forth, and even once the kingdom still occupied got the upper hand.

That's why Karglis' words made Fern, who had dealt with the most skeletons the most, feel unbelievable first.

"But since Madara has these troops, why did they hide and hide them before? If they want to catch us by surprise, then it seems that now is not the time." Uta couldn't help but wonder.

Brando shook his head. This is the general psychology of Eruin people in this era. Even the people around him have not realized what happened to the land in the east. But only he understands that Kaglis is not lying, Madara has never hidden its army, and it does not need to hide anything from a weak country like Eruin, but the spider swordsman It is true that they have never appeared in the war with Aruin before, because they have just joined Madara's war sequence.

Dread spirits, skeleton cavalry, plus the current spider swordsman, today's Madara, although there is no Tamar in history, but still has these brand-new arms, the gains and losses of one person can't change history, Ma The power generated after the unification of the huge territories in the four directions of Dala is too terrifying, and there will be more in the future, and this is just the beginning. Brando smiled. If he told these people that the spider swordsman would become Madara's basic infantry in the future, how would they feel?

After the third Black Rose War, Madara didn't even bother to manufacture skeleton warriors, it was just a waste of soul energy. From then on, Madara's lowest-level unit was the revenge spider that had evolved into a fourth-level unit at that time swordsman.

"So you all heard it," Brando said: "The opponent you will face in front of us may be an undead army with a third-tier army and a fourth-tier air force. This is a very different Cruz people, lion people, and even the army of demons, you will soon see the style of this army."

The young people of the White Lion Guard fell silent after hearing what their lord said. Brando glanced at everyone at the border of the forest and waved his hand lightly.

"But none of that matters."

He suddenly smiled, revealing his white teeth.

"The important thing is that today we will crush them here and tell the world that Madara's enemies today—will be full of ancient glory, and return to the kingdom of this world from the long scroll of history."

"It is a white lion, a golden sword, an oath of protection, and an ancient belief."

"Yes," the Earl was riding on horseback. He paused, as if he was about to breathe out his last breath: "Our motherland, Aruin—"

The voice was not high-pitched, as if it was floating in the rain, but it made the blood surge in everyone's chest, as if it gave birth to infinite courage, making everyone seem to be unable to help but let out a long voice and walk with their swords. Brando raised his hand, above the river valley, at the border of the forest, the flag bearers raised their flags one after another, the holy white flag fluttered with the wind, one side after another emerged in the mist, hunting, and there was a crescent moon of the kingdom on it, The pine mountains, the deciduous pine needles, and the ice and snow in the north seem to carry the history of a kingdom, and they are reappearing on this land at this moment.

On it is the emblem of the white lion.

The trumpeter put the trombone to his lips, puffed up his cheeks, and blew hard.

The sound of the trumpet is melodious, as if it were mist--

...

"Who is in front of us?" Brando asked suddenly.

"It's two regiments from the Sea of ​​the Dead Moon. I've figured it out. The commanders are 'Deathrattle' Mergkin and Sir Viskag the Silent. The troops are basically spider swordsmen, with a few skeletons. The cavalry should be the elite of the Blood Staff."

"It has nothing to do with the Blood Wand, it's the Emperor's Chosen." Brando smiled.

"Emperor's Chosen?"

"It's nothing, let's run over them first, and say hello to the blood stick."

The melodious trombone resounded throughout the valley, and the first to react was the Lantonilan. As soon as he heard the thick and heavy dragon-horned trombone, Aike's eyes lit up. He tightened the reins and galloped Turned around on horseback, turned around and shouted: "Listen quickly, from which direction is the sound of the trumpet coming from?" The knights of the Lantoniland people turned their heads one after another, and after a while, someone answered loudly: "It's the west, it's the west." !"

"Haha, the Tonigels are here!" Aike pulled out his long sword, turned his horse's head, and shouted: "The Earl is greeting the Blood Staff, we Lantonilan people can't let them underestimate them, let's go , we blow the horn too! Get ready to turn around, it’s time to give those half-toned skeleton cavalry some good looks!”

Being chased by a group of opponents who were much worse than themselves, they dared not fight back. The knights had long been suffocated to death.

The whining horns echoed each other and spread throughout the valley along with the gentle wind and light rain.

Earl Jacques, whose face was covered in blood, raised his head and listened carefully to the sound of the trumpet, "The Tonigels are coming, and they and the Lantonilans are notifying us..." This resolute soldier couldn't help it at this moment. Tears flowed down, two lines of hot blood washed down from the blood stains, and she lamented long and loudly: "But what's the use of them coming, it's useless, I'm sorry for them, I'm sorry for them, go back quickly, We are hopeless! At least don’t die here, tell Her Royal Highness, the Duke, Madara is no longer that Madara! Trumpeters, tell them to retreat, retreat quickly, before the undead Keep an eye on them—"

Trumpeter stood beside his lord in a daze, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Do you want to blow the horn?

If the trumpet is blown, then they are dead, and no one will come to rescue them. They are surrounded, and there is only one way to die. But what about blowing the trumpet? As the earl said, what's the use? The undead army in front of them is no longer what it used to be, and even the Lantonilans can't break through their defenses, so what are the Tonigels? That place is just a backcountry, maybe the current lord is the future minister of the kingdom, and may even become the only sword master of the new generation of Aruin for decades, but so what?

One person cannot control the situation of the battle.

But if you want to hang your hands and wait to die, the nobles can't do it. Intellectually tell them that they should blow the trumpet, but emotionally these cowardly kingdom nobles can't accept the end of being abandoned by the friendly army. They can't help but look at the trumpeter, dying shaking his head.

"Everyone," Earl Jacques certainly noticed the small movements of his colleagues—up to this moment, they still couldn't let go of their little thoughts? He couldn't help sighing in his heart, and said a little weakly: "Everyone has children and heirs, do you want them to face today's situation like us, waiting to die in despair and sorrow? You are soldiers, and the word duty may be right. You may be too far away, but it is a human instinct to protect your wife and daughter, I'm done with this, do you still want to stop?"

Earl Zlin, who was shaking his head desperately, froze there.

Heirs and descendants, that is the hope of noble inheritance, even though they are as indifferent as iron, they can't help but shake at this moment——

Under the same sky, the Blood Staff was silently watching the gloomy sky, as if it could see the sound of the trombone echoing in the air. After a while, it lowered its head and asked in a low voice: "Where is this?" army?"

"Those human wounded soldiers who didn't die said it seemed to come from Tonigel."

"Tonnigel?" The Blood Staff was slightly taken aback: "Where is that place?"

"I'm very sorry, my subordinates have never heard of it, my lord."
