Scene 64 Message to Akane IV
Rising from the mountains are magical creatures shaped by rocks into flying monsters full of power. They have the head of a sheep and a human body, with steel claws on their limbs, a wingspan of more than seven meters, and stone skin. Under the cold winter sun, it shone with a light blue luster, covered with shimmering magic runes, and two dark green gemstones formed the eyes of these magical creatures.
In fact, they do not belong to the most primitive gargoyles, but a kind of rune golems-rune gargoyles, Brando wanted gargoyles, and Tanya, a competent aunt, got him directly The best kind, as he said, these things are nothing to the Buga people, so the artisans and wizards are willing to help Brando as much as possible without crossing their bottom line, okay Tell him to take back the Azure Spear for them.
The griffins of the empire soaring in the sky never imagined that they would face such a battle one day. Dense gargoyles are rising from the mountains to the sky, and in a blink of an eye they fill the sky above the mountains. These magical creatures The screams came one after another, coming from all directions, as if they were surrounded. But all the griffins let out a clear cry, as if there was a kind of pride urging these brave and fearless birds of prey to spread their snow-white wings to face their enemies. This is the symbol of the empire. He took the initiative to attack, like straight silver lines piercing into the dark clouds, but in an instant, his wings flew away and his halberd fell.
The soldiers of the empire watched this scene almost blankly, watching the ferocious imperial raptor they were proud of disappear in an instant, and it took a long time before a dry warning came from the observation room:
"It's...it seems to be a gargoyle..."
Although there were still a hundred Griffin Knights waiting in the fortress, roots had taken root under everyone's feet at this moment, and no one ran down to the top of the city to inform the others, because it was too late.
The gargoyles swarmed like a dark cloud in the sky, and after engulfing the griffins, they spread over half the sky like a flock of migratory birds; when they came to the sky above the fortress, the soldiers of the empire raised their heads in a daze until the first day When a rock fell from mid-air and smashed the battlements apart, these people screamed and realized that disaster was imminent. Under the instructions set in advance, the gargoyle divides into three as soon as it enters the fortress, and then divides into three huge arrows pointing in different directions in mid-air. The first arrow composed of two hundred gargoyles points directly to the city wall. direction, while the second arrow composed of three hundred gargoyles pointed to the inner city, and the largest arrow composed of all the remaining gargoyles went straight to the headquarters of the Griffon Knights in the Black Sword Barrier, as if they had long ago know that place.
When the Cruz knights on the city wall saw two huge arrows in the sky crossing the city wall without stopping, they immediately understood what was going on.
Only then did they realize that this was definitely a premeditated war.
The inner city is in chaos—
Those soldiers who are not on duty in the fortress area,
They are being driven door to door from their quarters in the inner city, from various places of entertainment—from bars, journals, or even lovers’ homes—or from the streets in twos and threes, and hurriedly put on their clothes. Wearing a battle robe, wearing a helmet, and picking up a weapon, you will become an organization or rush to the direction of the fort to gather reports. During that period of the century, you would never see such a scene. In that era, even in the most relaxed period of the Black Sword Barrier, more than two-thirds of the soldiers were in a state of combat readiness at any time.
But now, this fortress has not experienced any war for nearly a hundred years, and even the bandits of Eruin dare not commit crimes in the area ruled by the empire. The long-term slack has long developed their arrogance , the habit of defiantly.
Soldiers of the empire are gathering from various branches. Although they are not worth mentioning compared to their predecessors, the last sense of honor and discipline as the emperor[***] kept them from being completely messed up. In terms of reaction, their worst reaction is much better than those noble soldiers in the south of Eruin, and it is not even inferior to the Black Blade Legion and Hong Kong Guards that Brando has seen in Ambersea. These people are dressed in red and white. Under the urging of bugles, the Rogeria soldiers in alternate shirts gathered, and they were about to enter the fortress area soon.
It was at this time that they ran head-on into the gargoyle that was rushing from the sky.
"Look at the sky!"
I don't know who yelled first, and then the bustling red and white crowd on the street slowly stopped, looked up at the mid-air, the dense black spots that formed the huge arrows were spreading, and then started to dive, As if in an instant, hundreds of gargoyles swooped down.
"Gargoyle!"
"Martha, the Buga people launched a sneak attack on us!"
The crowd was still surprised and stunned at first, and then turned into agitation and uneasiness, and started to retreat as they got closer, and finally turned into a wild run under such a shrill scream.
"Find cover!"
"These damned, cunning wizards!"
The Cruz people screamed in panic as they tried to find a place that could provide cover, and at this moment the quality of the Emperor[***] people was also revealed, they were not scared like headless chickens buzzing around , or turned into a rout like those noble soldiers in the southern border of Eruin that day; once the Cruz knights found eaves, low walls, stacked boxes or other temporary fortifications that could provide concealment on both sides of the street, He immediately drew out his weapon and prepared to launch a counterattack after the first wave of attacks by this unidentified air force.
The empire has a military tradition of more than ten centuries. Their enemies come from all over the world, whether it is the air force, navy, monsters, creatures or the dead. They were no longer surprised, so after a brief stir, they immediately calmed down, and under the command of the nearby knight commander, they entered the battle state.
At this moment, if Brando saw such a scene in person, he would definitely sigh, not only at the strength of the Cruz people, but also because it was exactly the same as the imperial [***] team he had seen.
An empire is an empire after all, and Cruz's eagle soars above the sky not only with arrogance and arrogance.
But the tragedy of Rogeria's soldiers came from the same reason - Brando had already seen them, in another era.
Therefore, these soldiers quickly saw that the dive of the gargoyles was just an illusion. They immediately began to slow down after approaching the sky above the inner city, and then landed on the roofs of the entire inner city. "What are they going to do!?" The Cruz knights looked at the scene in amazement. The air force, as the name suggests, is their domain. If these gargoyles want to fight them head-on on the ground, it is obviously impossible. things.
Their doubts were finally answered when they saw the first wizard in robes and staff in hand jump off the back of the gargoyle.
"wizard……"
In the nearby streets, every knight sergeant with command authority felt his teeth a little sore when he saw such a scene, and he immediately understood what the other party wanted to do.
When Mordencan jumped off the back of his gargoyle with his duck in his arms, he was also full of pride when he saw the stunned Cruz knights. He turned his head and saw three to four wizards getting ready on almost every roof on the left. It seemed that in an instant, an army of wizards descended on the inner city of the Black Sword Barrier. He turned his head again, and at this time, the Cruz people below seemed to be reacting from the state of astonishment, and the knights immediately commanded the soldiers around them to kill on the roof—even though they knew that the other party could not attack him. He didn't pose any threat, but he still couldn't help being a little nervous-what a bold idea it was to let the wizard come to the front line and fight the enemy soldiers face to face.
Not to mention that he had never heard of this kind of battle before, even if he thought about it, the so-called wizards should be kept as far away from danger as possible.
But even though he was full of nervousness and his hands were full of sweat, he still raised his staff and began to chant spells eloquently to the Cruz army below. The average strength of the soldiers of the Imperial Frontier Legion is at least above the middle reaches of the black iron. The low roofs of the inner city are not too difficult obstacles for them. Seeing that the nearest soldier was no more than twenty feet away from him, and he could even see the ferocious face and the cold light of the long sword in his hand, there were a thousand and ten thousand soldiers in his heart who were willing to directly prepare The spell was thrown at the guy, but at the last moment, he moved away from the target abruptly, raised his staff and cast a spell at the imperial soldiers crowded on the street.
"The law of stillness and stagnation, imprisonment!"
Mordencan shouted, as if an invisible wall descended from the direction he was pointing at, the air shook slightly, and all the imperial soldiers on the street were immediately imprisoned there motionless as if possessed by a demon. At the same time, about one-third of the hundreds of wizards who descended with the gargoyle completed the same control spell, while the other one-third failed to cast the spell because they were too nervous, and the other one-third He couldn't help but cast the spell on the few soldiers closest to him.
But even this one-third of the success brought almost half of the streets in the inner city under the control of spells in an instant.
After Mordencan cast the spell, he turned his head profusely in sweat, only to see that the soldier who climbed up had already been slapped down by the gargoyle. He was relieved, and a sense of pride arose in his heart—— Because he knew that at least he was the first wave of wizards to cast spells under this tactic. With this alone, he could get rid of his apprentice status and step into the ranks of official wizards.
The inner city is falling into a special kind of dead silence, as if time has been imprisoned - those imperial [***] teams who gathered and crowded the streets quickly lost the chance to fight back under the control of the wizard It's not that they haven't thought about counterattacking, but the formation is so densely exposed to the magic attack, the result is predictable, almost immediately, they lost more than two-thirds of their manpower. And next, the wizards only need to subdue those who escaped the net one by one. During the period, the Cruz organized sporadic long-range strikes, but they were almost useless under the protection of magic spells. Under the protection of hundreds of gargoyles, they also failed to accomplish anything, and instead threw themselves into the net and became captives one by one.
Of course, there are wizards in the empire, but wizards in twos and threes are basically impossible to be the opponents of hundreds of wizards gathered together. After sporadic counterattacks, they quickly realized that the situation was over, and they either raised their hands and surrendered, or simply found a place to hide. Seeking self-defense.
As if in an instant, the Black Sword Barrier lost most of its backup.
...
Maria, the head of the Griffon Knights in the Black Sword Bastion, stood in front of the French windows of his office, silently watching the gargoyles in the sky leave. On the other side of his line of sight, the headquarters of the Griffon Knights was already in a mess. This Griffon Fortress, built about two centuries ago, unfortunately did not build upper-level protective fortifications or magic protection according to the standards of this era. It was exposed, because everyone knew that the enemy facing the Black Sword Barrier was the Eruin, and the Eruin's weak sub-dragon knight air force could not pose any threat to this fortress.
However, it was this traditional cognition that brought it an almost devastating blow.
Maria still hasn't figured out how those damned gargoyles came here. He was still sending messengers to find out what happened to the loud noise on the other side of the city wall, and at the same time ordered some knights to prepare to take off, but he also Did not expect the attack to come so quickly. Before the first batch of warm-up Griffin Knights had time to release their beloved Griffin from the cage, the black cloud in the sky had already flown over the knights, and everything that happened next was a nightmare. Such an attack was virtually unheard of by Maria up until then.
The gargoyle began to swoop down, and then dropped pieces of shining crystals. Most of these crystals hit the passage of the griffin cage, and a small part hit the warehouse of the knight order. What happened later was as he saw now, the entire griffin cage The passage has been completely destroyed. There are about 160 griffins and more than 30 knights sealed inside. It is hard to say how many can be rescued. As for the warehouse, Maria looked at the two big pits where she could see with a sinking face.
For a moment he was unable to speak a word.
And at this time, outside the ruins of the Knight's Gate, Rovak, who was pointing his sword at Brando, obviously didn't know that such a wonderful thing happened in the fortress behind him, but even so, his expression did not change. Good to see where to go. Above his head, the soldiers of the empire were fighting fiercely with the gargoyles, the wizards in the fortress had joined the battle, and the longbowmen and crossbowmen had also begun to line up, which could be said to barely stabilize the situation; while behind him , More than a hundred dragon knights have completed their preparations. These Cruz knights were wearing heavy armor and raised their spears one after another. The triangular flags above the spears fluttered in the wind, like a sea of fiery red.
The ground dragon is adjusting its footsteps uneasily, facing the uninvited guests outside the city gate, as if the knights will come out with a single command.
But at this moment, Rovak felt no sense of security at all.
Because in his field of vision, Brando was approaching him step by step. The Earl was alone, holding a sword in one hand, but he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum. He was alone, facing the Cruz people's behavior proudly The dragon-heavy knight had a calm face, as if these knights who had been described as brilliant in the past history had long been ignored in his eyes. Rovak has seen such indifferent eyes before. When the bear warriors of the Black Crow Principality charged at that person, the scene of that person standing proudly on the field with a sword was still in front of his eyes almost all the time.
Could it be that it has only been sixty years, and the Eruins have another such Juggernaut?
Rovak was sweating coldly, another possibility suddenly occurred to him.
Behind Brando, Metisa was looking at the back of her lord, she silently called out the unicorn, and got on her horse, while the pioneers of Baicheng Huque, Flo and others naturally lined up behind her , list the charging formation, and prepare for a follow-up attack.
But it was at this time that Brando turned around and said, "Metisa, go and subdue that imperial team and save the refugees."
"My lord."
Brando didn't answer her, but only said to Charles: "Charles, the city wall is handed over to you."
"no problem."
Then Brando turned around, and Rovak, the sword of the empire, was charging at him.
"Follow me, Dragon Riders!" Rovak yelled.
The next moment, he couldn't make such a heroic voice, because he had seen Brando split in two in front of him.
He stared dumbfounded at the two Brando's who walked around him from left to right as if strolling in the courtyard. Stepping forward, this sword seems to be easily dodged by a child who is just learning swordsmanship. Rovak also bowed his head and dodged without exception, and at the same time tried to distinguish between the "two people" which one was Brando's real body.
But just as he bowed his head, a scene that took him out of his wits happened. He clearly saw that he had dodged the opponent's sword, but when he lowered his head, he saw that the shining blade was still on his chest .
"This is impossible!" Rovak just felt this thought in his heart, and felt a slight pain in his chest, and a long hole had been pulled out of his armor. The ground softened and fell to the ground.
