"Amy, isn't Harvest City the family territory of Grandmaster Abel?" Buford quietly asked his companions as he walked forward with the knights.
Buford is an ordinary knight who lives in the Principality of Raqqa. This is not the first time that he has fought with the Knight Legion. Just last year, he participated in the raid on the Principality of Keen, and this time it was too confidential. , even after he set off, he didn't know where his goal was.
Even though most of the knights were extremely excited by the inspiring words of Knight Commander Job just now, there were still many knights who were very clear-headed.
When he just heard the name of Harvest City, he was shocked. This was to attack the Principality of Kamai, the territory of the only master blacksmith in mankind.
Abel has always been a legendary existence in the human world, especially in the Kingdom of St. Ellis, and his story has been sung by countless people.
And today he was about to attack the legendary master blacksmith who made mankind proud, which made it difficult for him to control his emotions.
"Buford, yes, Harvest City is the family territory of Grandmaster Abel, but why are you attacking Grandmaster Abel's territory?" Amy couldn't understand the order, and he asked himself helplessly.
No one can answer his question. This is an army, a knight corps. There is only discipline and orders here!
It's just that the leaders of the five principalities probably didn't expect what kind of influence the name Abel would have in the human world. A subtle emotion spread among the legion of 14,000 knights.
Behind the army of knights, in a carriage, five intermediate wizards were sitting in the carriage. The atmosphere in the carriage was very depressing. None of the knight captains from the five principalities could understand the mood of these five intermediate wizards at this time. .
"Malory, you have fought against Abel. How is his strength?" The intermediate wizard from the Principality of Taikos turned to the intermediate wizard Malory from the Principality of Thunder and asked.
The intermediate wizards here have all heard of Abel's reputation from their own channels, and no matter which channel they get the news from, they are shocked.
But not many people have actually seen Abel take action, so the only mid-level wizard among them, Malory, who has fought against Abel, became the target of this wizard inquiry.
Malory, an intermediate wizard, did not want to recall that very unpleasant experience. His 'teleportation' was ended by Abel's 'telekinesis', which made him, an intermediate wizard, lose inexplicably.
"His speed is very fast, so fast that I can't see clearly, and the spell is cast in an instant!" Malory, an intermediate wizard, organized his words and said while thinking about it.
"Can one wizard, Abel, cast spells faster than five of us intermediate wizards casting spells at the same time?" The intermediate wizard from the Principality of Laqa expressed his thoughts and encouraged everyone.
"Yes, I have always heard that Abel has a powerful contract. As soon as we encounter him, we will immediately 'teleport' to surround him and use our most powerful spells to kill him directly!" Intermediate from the Principality of Larvi The wizard nodded and said.
"Yes, he is just a junior wizard. No matter how powerful he is, how powerful can he be? I think his contract object is powerful!" The intermediate wizard of Koror Principality also responded in a deep voice.
The intermediate wizard Malory listened to the speeches of the four intermediate wizards and knew one thing very clearly in his heart, that is, these four intermediate wizards did not care about Abel as much as they imagined. On the contrary, it was precisely because they felt strong pressure that they only He is just using language to reduce the pressure of facing Abel.
Malory's intermediate wizard himself does not want to go to the Principality of Kamai anymore. It is one of his nightmares, but if he does not break this nightmare, he will not be able to be promoted in this life. His strength has not been able to return to the Principality of Thunder since the last time. After further improvement, there was some decline.
This alliance of the five principalities was an opportunity. Although he showed reluctance, after the king's persuasion and many benefits were promised to him, he agreed to the request to fight.
"Abel's strongest skill is his knight skills. His wizard ability is not strong. As long as we can control his speed, we should be able to kill him!" Malory, an intermediate wizard, followed several intermediate wizards and said words of encouragement.
"Abel will become a thing of the past, the Principality of Camai will become a thing of the past, and we will win!" The intermediate wizard of the Principality of Takos said in a deep voice.
Several other intermediate wizards also repeated it, as if this could kill Abel. They acted less like wizards and more like believers.
What Abel brought to the Principality of Kamai cannot be seen on the surface of most cities. The cities of the Principality of Kamai are peaceful, with sufficient food and a stable environment, allowing each city to develop steadily.
But in every city, Abel added a teleportation circle. Only in Liante City, where he had so many points and nowhere to spend them, would he do such a wealthy thing.
These teleportation circles are not public, but are controlled by the intelligence organization. This is also a way for him to strengthen the intelligence organization. At least in the Principality of Camai, the information transmission speed of the intelligence organization is unparalleled.
When the coalition forces of the five principalities arrived outside Neijin City, Abel had already received the latest information from the Neijin City intelligence organization, and then Abel's order had arrived at Neijin City.
There are four knight territories in Neijin City, which are the fiefdoms of Arch Knight Bodeli. His family is there. Abel's order is to evacuate Arch Knight Bodeli's family from Neijin City as soon as possible.
"Quick, His Majesty's order is to defend Neijin City. Reinforcements will arrive soon!" Knight Captain Harlow is the lord of Neijin City. He was originally a member of the Harry family in Gamba City. Since Harry is now in Gamba City, The improvement of his family's status allowed him to obtain the position of city lord of this emerging city.
But when he came here, he only brought with him ten family members and some civilian officials. The army here was recruited from the local area, and the cornerstone of the army came from the nobles of Neijin City.
This is what Abel means. The Kamai Principality lacks everything. It is a newly acquired city and currently cannot send too many garrison troops. And because an understanding has been reached with the Thunder Principality, there is no need to deploy heavy troops here.
It would take a long process to slowly integrate a city into a new principality. Abel wanted to alleviate Neijin City's resistance through self-government.
The crisis of reduced crop yields gave Abel a good opportunity. Sufficient food supply stabilized the people of Neijin City. The gradual growth of the Principality of Kamai and the strength of personal force shown by Abel also made the people of Neijin City more stable. He has begun to slowly accept becoming a member of the Kamai Principality.
If Neijin City is given another two years, it will become a piece of land completely controlled by the Kamai Principality, and the people on this land will be extremely loyal to the Kamai Principality.
But the arrival of the Five Nations Allied Forces ruined all this. In Neijin City, people's hearts were once again fluctuating because of the arrival of the Five Nations Allied Forces, especially the army of the Thunder Principality.
Most of the people and nobles here have never experienced starvation. They have never thought about what would happen here without the food provided by the Principality of Camai. They have been shocked in their hearts by the endless knights outside the city. Lived, they want to return to the stronger side.
Knight Commander Harold was standing on the city wall at this time. The principality had handed the city into his hands, and he wanted to ensure that the city would not be taken away.
Although there were tens of thousands of knights outside, he was not worried. No principality was willing to use knights to attack the city. Such losses would be unbearable for these principalities.
And he has a team of thousands of city defense warriors. These warriors have received city defense training. As long as these city defense warriors can protect it with all their strength, reinforcements from the Kamai Principality will arrive in just a few days. By then, the entire battle will be over. Changes will occur.
Knight Commander Harlow, who was born in Gamba City, has a kind of admiration for Abel. In his heart, as long as Abel takes action, nothing is impossible.
Outside Neijin City, fourteen thousand knights stopped. Neijin City was right in front of them, and they were waiting for an opportunity.
"My people are already active. In half a day at most, the gates of Neijin City will be opened!" Knight Commander Ewell looked at the city in front of him. His heart was full of excitement. This lost thing from their hands The territory is coming back.
"Then wait, everyone dismount, let the horses rest, feed them and rest!" Knight Qiaobu ordered loudly with a wave of his long hand.
He was very relieved to let his knights rest. The reason was that there were not many formal knights in Neijin City. The scarcity of knights made it impossible for the opponent to take the initiative to attack.
The five-nation coalition forces came all the way, and the war horses were a little tired. They just needed a rest so that they could attack with all their strength in the subsequent battle.
He also did not think about using mid-level wizards to open the city. Although wizards participated in this battle, as long as the other party did not send wizards to participate in the war, their wizards could not participate in the war. Once wizards, especially mid-level wizards, were involved in secular wars, the consequences would be dire. It's not something they can afford.
If the intermediate wizards are dispatched at this time, of course they can easily open the gate of Inner City and kill the defenders, but the consequence of that is that the intermediate wizards will be traced by the Wizards Guild.
Although the senior wizard Dunn, who has a deep relationship with Abel, cannot intervene in the war with the secular world, he will never be merciful to wizards who make mistakes.
It is precisely because of this that the wizards were sitting in the carriage at this time and did not show up.
On the city wall, Knight Captain Harlow looked at the knights outside the city who did not take him seriously at all. They had all dismounted and had a rest. His heart was filled with anger. He loudly ordered the city defense soldiers to set up defenses.
These city defense soldiers obeyed the orders and continued to carry the items to defend the city, but some middle- and high-level noble officers had an unknown light shining in their eyes.
After being busy for a long time, it was already afternoon. Knight Commander Harlow didn't understand why the Five Nations Allied Forces did not attack, but he found that there were fewer and fewer officers among the city defense soldiers on the city wall.
"Check, where are all the officers?" Knight Commander Harlow ordered a family soldier beside him.
The dead man of the family bowed and retreated, and his body disappeared on the city wall. Just as the dead man of the family got off the city wall, he saw a total of five hundred well-equipped soldiers wearing leather armor heading towards the city gate.
And because there were noble officers among them, no city defense soldiers intercepted or asked about it along the way.
The family soldier's eyes flashed with horror, and he hurriedly ran towards the city wall. He wanted to tell Knight Commander Harold the news.
"He is the bodyguard of the city lord, kill him quickly!" An officer recognized this family soldier and shouted.
An archer had already taken out a bow and arrow and shot at the family warrior. The family warrior made evasive movements, but could not avoid the continuous arrows. Three arrows hit him in the back, and the huge impact caused him to His body surged forward.
It was this rush that made him rush up the city wall. He used up his last bit of strength to crawl forward. In a daze, he saw Knight Commander Harold, but he could no longer say anything.
But his mission was completed. Knight Commander Harlow already knew what had happened in the city when he saw the dead family member.
"There is a rebellion in the city, prepare to organize a counterattack, first team and second team, come down the city wall with me!" Knight Commander Harlow put down his family dead men and ordered loudly.
Waiting for him were the city defense soldiers standing silently. None of the city defense soldiers paid attention to his orders. Without his knowledge, the high-ranking officers of the nobles had already given these city defense soldiers a lot of benefits.
Outside the city were tens of thousands of knights. Under internal and external pressure, some of the city defense soldiers who had not been very loyal to the Kamai Principality chose to rebel, while others chose not to participate.
This is what Knight Commander Harold sees now. His heart is cold. He does not understand who gave these warriors food to support their families. Compared with the cities of Thunder Principality, they live too happily.
But Knight Commander Harold didn't know, and how could these warriors know about the shortage of food in the cities of Thunder Principality? Even if they knew something, they didn't experience it personally, so they had no way of knowing what it was like to be short of food.
Knight Commander Harold looked at these silent warriors and said nothing. Instead, he looked back at the nine dead soldiers behind him and said in a deep voice: "How dare you fight to the death with me!"
"Fight to the death!" The nine family warriors roared with fanaticism flashing in their eyes.
Knight Commander Harold laughed loudly and rushed towards the passage below the city wall, letting out a sharp whistle as he rushed.
A black war horse under the city wall heard the whistle, exerted force, broke free from the horse's tether, and ran towards the direction of the sound.
Knight Commander Harold saw his horse when he was halfway running. He used the knight's sword in his hand to deflect two arrows aimed at him, then turned over and jumped onto the horse inside the city wall.
"Honor is my life!" He mounted the war horse, took off the shield from the side of the saddle, looked at the 500 noble private troops in front of him who had closed the city gate and were opening the city gate, and launched a brazen charge.
Although he was alone, he still moved forward indomitably. The reason why warriors have always been suppressed by knights in the Holy Continent is that they are the lowest profession. The reason is that knights are more powerful. A knight sitting on a war horse will not be able to fight if there are no knights of the same level. If you block it, you will almost run amok.
Of course, he was just a knight commander. Although his strength was far superior to the five hundred noble private troops in front of him, he could not really crush them. All he did was to kill as many of these traitors as possible.
The nine dead soldiers also followed. They did not shout, but silently rushed into the battlefield, waving their weapons continuously.
However, Knight Commander Harold was still too late. Some of the five hundred noble private troops blocked him, while others slowly opened the city gate.
The moment the city gate opened, a huge shining knight sword appeared in front of the noble private army, and a battle formation composed of fifteen great knight captains rushed in from the city gate.
Although there were only fifteen knights, because they were all senior knight captains, the battle formation they formed combined with the transformed fighting spirit instantly swept dozens of noble private troops into two pieces.
These noble private soldiers did not know why they were killed until their death, while other noble private soldiers shouted loudly: "We are helping to open the city gate, don't kill us!"
But what awaited them was still the huge shining knight's sword, and the five hundred noble private soldiers were killed in just a few breaths.
"Knight Charge!" Knight Commander Harold did not wait. He knew that this was the last charge in his knight career. He felt the family crest on his chest burning, burning his heart and his blood. Burning.
The knight commander charged against fifteen high knight commanders, and the fifteen high knight commanders formed a battle formation. The final result was that knight commander Harold was knocked away and his body hit the city wall heavily.
The nine dead members of the family also rushed forward without hesitation, and corpses flew out one after another.
"King Abel will make you pay the price!" After Knight Commander Harlow uttered his last words, he died with a slight mocking smile on his face.
"Damn it, I hate his smile!" Knight Commander Ewell broke away from the battle formation and slashed at Knight Commander Harold's body with the knight's sword in his hand.
"You'd better not insult a knight's corpse. Behind you, there are 14,000 knights. Do you want all the knights to see your behavior?" The knight's sword in the hand of Lord Knight Commander Job He blocked the knight's sword from being swung downwards by Lord Knight Ewell and said in a deep voice.
Grand Knight Commander Ewell didn't know what happened to him just now. That smile made him feel fear and made him feel terrified.
That's why he acted irrationally. After being stopped by Knight Commander Job, he realized what his behavior would be like. A person who insulted the corpse of a heroic knight would be despised by all knights no matter what his identity was. .
"Herald, give all knights one day, this city belongs to them!" Knight Commander Job turned around and ordered to the herald not far away.
"Yes, sir!" The herald said with joy in his tone. The wealth of a city was right in front of him. He turned around on horseback to convey this order.
"High Knight Commander Job, this is the territory of the Principality of Thunder. How can you give such an order?" High Knight Commander Ewell turned to look at Great Knight Commander Job and shouted in disbelief.
"The territory of the Principality of Thunder? This is Neijin City, the first city we captured. If those knights are not allowed to gain something, who will fight to the death in the next battle?" Knight Commander Job shouted loudly.
"Knight Captain Ewell, this is the first battle. Because the Principality of Kamai was not prepared, we won so easily. The next battle will be more intense. The knights need motivation!" Grand Armand The knight commander said aside.
Lord Knight Ewell wanted to say something more, but it was too late. The fourteen thousand knights no longer formed any battle formation. Facing a city that had no defense, they regarded the city as a piece of fat. , now it just depends on whether the bags they carry are enough.
"How should I explain to the nobles of Inner City!" Lord Knight Ewell muttered to himself as he looked blankly at the knights with fanatical eyes who rushed into Inner City from beside him.
There has been no war in Neijin City for a long time. They have forgotten the cruelty of war. The nobles betrayed the Kamai Principality and are still thinking about whether they can get the status of a meritorious noble by returning to the Thunder Principality as a hero.
When the door of the nobles was broken open, countless knights rushed in and took away everything they could see. Even the women in the family did not escape.
Food was the first group to be robbed, followed by gold and silver jewellery, jewelry, works of art, and all items that could be picked up were put on war horses and taken away.
Those who couldn't be taken away would be smashed by the knights. Knights in war were terrifying existences that destroyed everything.
As long as there is a trace of resistance among the nobles, death is waiting for them.
Screams kept coming from Neijin City, and the bloody atmosphere shrouded the entire Neijin City. The city was crying, and the stupid nobles and uninformed people were also crying.
After a whole day, Neijin City became quiet, as quiet as death. Even the wind was very quiet. No screams or cries could be heard here.
Lord Knight Ewell was sitting in the city lord's palace at this time. Standing next to him were three local nobles. The originally gorgeous robes of these three local nobles were in a mess. The places where gems were originally inlaid on their bodies had been removed. torn and the gems snatched away.
"Grand Knight Ewell, is this your guarantee?" an old noble asked in a sad voice.
"Your losses will be compensated by the Principality of Thunder!" Lord Knight Ewell was powerless against everything in the city. He already felt that this operation seemed to have gone beyond his imagination.
"Compensation? Which of my two sons can compensate me?" Another noble shouted with red eyes.
"My daughter has just grown up, and now she has been snatched away. I don't know whether she will live or die. Is this what you call a good life?" the last noble shouted in a hoarse voice.
"The Principality of Thunder will definitely compensate you! Definitely!" Knight Commander Ewell kept saying words that he didn't quite believe. His chivalry was already on the verge of collapse at this time.
When the Allied Forces of the Five Nations left Neijin City, there was no food left in the city. Every household's food had been looted and taken away, and all their belongings could not be preserved. The entire Neijin City had been looted.
A few hours after the Allied Forces of the Five Nations left, the rebellious nobles were stoned to death by the angry people, and the whole city fell into chaos again.
Abel sat on Sky Boat No. 1 with a gloomy face. The three hundred knights were all the knight power that the Principality of Camai could use at this time. There were still two hundred knights who wanted to recruit them. It was too late in time.
At this time, the three hundred knights were resting in the space warehouse. The three sky boats had flown over Murray City, but he was not planning to land here.
He didn't need a city to defend against incoming enemies, he needed a victory, a victory without him participating in the war, a victory that only belonged to the Principality of Kamai.
"The Inner City has been bloodbathed!" There was anger in Abel's voice. The information in his hand was the latest information just sent by the Griffin Knight.
This information was delivered by the Murray City Intelligence Office, and the Griffin Knight became the bridge for the information to go back and forth.
This time Abel brought all the gryphon knights. He no longer needed to hide these powers. He wanted the entire Holy Continent to understand his power and the power of the Principality of Camai.
Otherwise, in a few days there will be some reckless people who will harass his life. He decided that this time he would beat his opponent so painfully that all the enemies he would beat would become scared even thinking about it.
Although the number of three hundred knights is not large, due to his large investment, most of them are intermediate knights and above, and senior knights account for more than half. This ratio is already very scary.
You must know that even among the 14,000 knights coalition, there are only more than 200 senior knights.
"Your Majesty, thank you for ordering my family to evacuate immediately!" Lord Knight Bodley bowed to the side and thanked him.
He was also lucky that Abel notified his family to evacuate immediately, otherwise his family would have been severely damaged by this attack.
"The Kamai Principality's control over Neijin City is too weak. I originally planned to take five to ten years for Neijin City to be integrated into the Kamai Principality. Unfortunately, the war came too early!" Abel said, shaking his head.
He asked the family of Arch Knight Bodley to evacuate first because Arch Knight Bodley was his friend, and Neijin City's defense was not strong and the situation was complicated. He did not want Bodley's family who had done so much for him to The family of Grand Knight Commander Deli was damaged.
The facts showed that he was very thoughtful, but he did not expect that the Five Nations Allied Forces would make a bloodbath in Inner City. He thought that at most they would capture the people sent by the Kamai Principality and then demand ransom.
Now it seems that the Five Nations Alliance is not as simple as he thought. They want more, so they will completely ignore the knight code.
Since they did not abide by the code of chivalry, Abel did not need to be merciful and did not need to consider the issue of prisoners. He could kill all enemies with complete freedom.
What happened in Neijin City made him stand on a high moral point. To a group of bandits who did not abide by the knight's code, any response was right.
"Your Majesty, despite the fact that we have few knights, in the event of a battle, our three hundred knights can withstand at least ten times more knights' attacks. Coupled with these three big guys in the sky and the help of the gryphon knights, We can definitely fight against the five-nation coalition!" Lord Knight Bodley said in a deep voice.
In fact, there was not enough confidence in his words. Three hundred knights could resist ten times the knights. This was already a very powerful performance. The reason was that Abel provided the equipment of the three hundred knights.
A total of three hundred sets of magic knight equipment made by Abel himself. Just these three hundred sets of magic knight equipment can bankrupt any empire.
The mounts of the knights are also unusual, because these mounts are trained in Harry Castle and usually eat straw provided by the wizard circle. The wheat straw grown in this magical environment is a by-product of the bread that the knights use to improve their fighting spirit.
After eating this wheat straw, the war horses became stronger and faster, almost making these war horses reach the level of the best war horses in the Holy Continent.
You must know that the best war horses will not be mass-produced, and can only appear in the inheritance of a small number of excellent war horses. Abel glanced at Grand Knight Bodley. It seemed that Grand Knight Bodley didn't know what kind of existence the sky boat was, and what kind of existence the weapons on it were.
He didn’t explain much, and sometimes you have to see it with your own eyes to believe it.
Outside the city of Murray, the sky boat descended and dropped 300 knights. Grand Knight Bodley led 300 knights to form a knightly battle formation, waiting for the arrival of the five-nation coalition at any time.
The three sky boats rose into the air, and Abel opened the defensive array and the mimic array. Although the mimic array could not make it invisible, it could make the black boat body and the white air bag on the upper part merge into one, just like a piece of White clouds generally float in the sky.
The worst thing about this mimetic array is that it cannot be moved. Once the mimetic array is moved, the effect of the mimetic array is lost.
Fourteen gryphon knights also landed on the sky boat. Abel needed to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, and did not want to scare the enemy away, so he wanted the enemy to get as close as possible.
