If the great knight captains of the Five Nations Alliance were not so greedy and did not attack first, then the knight battle formation composed of 14,000 knights at this time could still defend for at least a while.
But now all the fifteen grand knight captains were dead, and these fourteen thousand knights were not knights from the same principality. Without unified leadership, they began to flee in all directions.
Abel did not take action. He stood on the sky boat and watched the massacre on the ground. Yes, this was a massacre.
Whether it was the powerful city crossbow or the lightning spiral on the sky boat, these knights were not able to withstand it. In addition, the fourteen gryphon knights were harvesting lives like the god of death.
Although the number of knights that can be killed in each attack is limited, this situation of not being able to fight back quickly caused the 14,000 knights to collapse.
When the Five-Nation Alliance collapsed, three hundred knights led by Grand Knight Bodley returned to the battlefield.
Three hundred knights used the fighting spirit recovery potion extravagantly and restored their fighting spirit in a short time. Only Abel could refine this potion by himself and provide so many fighting spirit restoration potions at one time.
The three hundred knights who had regained their fighting spirit, led by Lord Knight Bodley, charged towards the defeated Five Nations Allied Forces.
The strength of the knights lies in their discipline and their battle formation. Once the battle formation is broken, their combat power will be greatly reduced.
Among the fourteen thousand knights, it is not that no knights thought of this, but even if they wanted to form a formation, they could not stop the interference and collision of other knights.
Coupled with the attack from the sky, the knights of the Five Kingdoms began to run backwards. On the carriage behind the knights of the Five Nations, the junior wizards were stunned. They wanted to control the carriage to turn back, but in this situation Next, it is not easy to turn the carriage back.
Soon, the gryphon knights in the sky discovered these more valuable prey, and shot arrows at the carriage.
If they are ordinary arrows, the defensive spells of junior wizards can still be defended, but the terrible thing is that these arrows are shot from the attribute Harry bow, and each arrow contains powerful elemental power. .
The resistance of junior wizards to elements was not high, and coupled with the unparalleled speed of the Harry Bow, junior wizards were killed one by one in the carriage, or as soon as they escaped from the carriage.
At this time, no one could care about these wizards, who usually valued them the most, because everyone was running for their lives.
"Use the swords in your hands to gain meritorious service!" Grand Knight Commander Bodley shouted loudly, fighting spirit flashing on his body.
Then, the same fighting spirit flashed on the bodies of the three hundred knights. Their fighting spirit was connected, and the battle formation changed again, becoming a row. Fighting energy was transmitted to each other on their bodies, and the knights in a row were wrapped in fighting spirit.
Three hundred knights transformed into a huge fighting sickle, while those fleeing for their lives were like straw.
The knights of the Five Nations Allied Forces ran backwards, but their speed was far inferior to the gryphon knights and sky boats in the sky. The fastest knights were constantly killed, and the fallen knights affected the knights behind them. speed.
More and more knights discovered this despair while running, because the biggest enemies they faced were the flying knights and the three unknown flying objects in the sky.
War horses cannot be faster than the gryphon knights and sky boats flying in the sky, so escaping seems a bit futile.
A knight jumped off his horse, threw his weapon beside him, and raised his hands high to show that he had no weapons.
When one knight did this, more and more knights followed suit, and some knights with luck jumped over those who had surrendered, but were quickly killed, while those knights who surrendered were not harmed.
More and more knights surrendered, and scores of knights threw their weapons on the ground. They came to fight, not to die.
The crossbows and lightning in the sky were not something they could match. This was an unequal battle. They did not expect a war machine of this level to appear.
War machines of this level should only appear in wars between empires. To fight the skyship, you must at least have a giant crossbow to attack it.
As for the gryphon knights, only the flying knights can be enemies with them, and the gryphon knights in front of them are more terrifying than the gryphon knights of the Kingdom of St. Ellis.
When the entire battlefield fell silent, all the knights surrendered. The surrender of the knights was not something difficult to accept.
In the code of knights, it is stipulated that knights can choose to surrender to protect their lives when they are unable to make enemies. Therefore, even if there are tens of thousands of knights present, they will be killed after being charged several times by the Principality of Camai. Surrender.
The main reason was that the Grand Knight Commander and the Intermediate Wizard were all killed in battle. Without a commander, the entire Five Nations Alliance Army was almost out of control.
Abel did not expect that such a situation would occur. There were at least 13,000 knights below. Although his sky boat and griffon knights kept killing, the knight battle formation composed of 300 knights also kept killing them. chase, but only killed nearly a thousand knights during this period.
More than 10,000 knights surrendered like this
Abel actually did not want so many prisoners, because the five-nation coalition violated the knight code first. He killed all the high knights and intermediate wizards as quickly as possible, just not wanting them to have the chance to surrender.
It is difficult to kill the knight who has surrendered now. If he kills again, it will be difficult to explain to the human world.
"Collect all their equipment and bring back their war horses, and tell Murray City to arrange for personnel to deal with it immediately!" Abel ordered Knight Commander Bodley to the contact card.
Grand Knight Bodley did not immediately ask his knights to come forward to collect the equipment. The work after the knights surrendered was very troublesome, and it was not just a matter of simply collecting the equipment.
Because most of the knights' equipment here are equipment inherited from their respective families, each knight's equipment must be registered clearly before it can be stored in the warehouse, so that when the knights are redeemed later, they can be redeemed together with the equipment.
If the battle formation under his command was in chaos at this time, it was very likely that chaos would occur among the more than 10,000 knights, and he would not be able to take measures in time.
Grand Knight Captain Bodley is extremely experienced. He led 300 knights and constantly shuttled among more than 10,000 prisoners. The knights who had dismounted and had no weapons in their hands saw the magic equipment all over their bodies, riding war horses, and When the knights team formed a battle formation, all the little thoughts in their hearts could not help but disappear.
Soon, a group of people came to Murray City. They stepped forward and began to register the names and families of the knights one by one, and also registered their weapons, armor, and horses one by one.
Murray City is not big, and it does not have the strength to guard so many knights. These knights can only be escorted directly back to Gamba City.
The disarmed knights were driven aside, and the procession of surrendered knights grew larger and larger.
No one dared to make trouble under the control of the sky boat. The lightning spiral that looked like a decoration, but in front of these surrendering knights, five intermediate wizards and fifteen great knight captains were instantly killed. No one wanted to be the next one. The one who will be killed instantly will be himself.
Captured knights were constantly being sent aside, but the manpower in Murray City was too small. It was not until dark that more than 3,000 knights were registered in this group.
Abel couldn't help but frown when he saw this speed. He ordered: "Use the teleportation circle and ask Gamba City to arrange a group of officials to come over. I will deal with this group of knights as quickly as possible overnight!"
The order was quickly passed down. In Gangba City, many officials who had fallen asleep were woken up. They were sent into the teleportation circle without knowing what happened.
"My God, His Majesty the King is victorious!" The first batch of officials from Gamba City who arrived used the light of the bonfire to see knights sitting on the ground all over the mountains and plains, while their own knights were riding on horses to guard them. This is a victory, a big victory.
Although the officials who arrived did not know when the war started, they knew that the Principality of Kamai had won an unprecedented victory.
Officials immediately got to work, which immediately sped up the process of registration, with more and more knights being brought aside.
When the first ray of morning glow appeared in the sky, the last knight who surrendered was also placed in the captive team.
A huge team of knight captives marched towards Gamba City, guarded by Grand Knight Captain Bodley, Griffin Knight and three sky boats. This is probably the largest team of knight captives that has ever been seen in history.
Abel was also helpless about this. This was different from his original plan. He was originally going to find trouble with the five principalities as soon as the battle was over, but now he was held back by these prisoners.
These prisoners are a big problem. If they are not taken care of carefully, if someone among them incites them, it will cause huge losses to the Principality of Kamai.
You must know that there are not many knights in the Principality of Kamai. Once these 13,000 knights lose control and flee in the Principality of Kamai, even if they chase and kill most of them, the Principality of Kamai will not be able to bear the remaining knights.
So this forced Abel to postpone his revenge on the five principalities. Now the most important thing was to escort 13,000 knights to Gamba City.
He did not take over Neijin City. The main reason for the loss of Neijin City this time was that the nobles and people in Neijin City had their hearts set on the Thunder Principality. He did not intend for this matter to end like this. Anyway, under the current circumstances , no one dares to take the inner golden city away.
But he has ordered to stop the supply of food to Neijin City. A rebellious city is not worthy of being supported by the Principality of Kamai.
What satisfied him most was that during the escort of the thirteen thousand knights, not even the food of the Kamai Principality was consumed, because behind the thirteen thousand knights was a grain transport team composed of tens of thousands of people. He was also captured.
The prisoners of this grain transport team once again became a grain transport team, but this time they were transporting grain to the 13,000 knights who were also prisoners.
Just when Abel was taking 13,000 knights captives to Gamba City, the entire human world was shocked by this war.
One side is a weak principality that has just been taken over, and the other is a coalition of five principalities.
One side only has 300 knights, while the other side has 14,000 knights and a dozen high knight captains.
In such a comparison of combat power, it is the weaker side that wins, which greatly shocks the human world.
Of course, the most affected one was the Kingdom of St. Ellis. Their scouts saw the entire process of the war. After the scouts returned to report, a huge knight team hidden in the Principality of Thunder quickly withdrew to the Kingdom of St. Ellis.
In the main hall of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, His Majesty Ambrose had a rare look of panic in his eyes.
"Alec, you go to the Principality of Kamai and express the empire's attitude to Grandmaster Abel on my behalf. We support the Principality of Kamai. We condemn the actions of the five principalities. We can make peace between the Principality of Kamai and the five principalities. Build a bridge of communication!" His Majesty Ambrose said solemnly to the eldest prince Alec.
"Father, I'm afraid we can't do it now. It will take at least ten days for Grandmaster Abel to arrive at Gamba City. Now he is on his way to escort the prisoners!" The eldest prince Alec looked at His Majesty Ambrose who rarely lost his composure and bowed. said.
"Will Grandmaster Abel know our plans?" His Majesty Ambrose still couldn't calm down and asked again.
"Probably not, our knights cleaned up everyone who saw them along the way!" Prince Alec shook his head and said.
How could 20,000 knights travel without being discovered? There was only one way to keep it secret, and that was to kill everyone seen along the way.
The Kingdom of St. Ellis sent 20,000 knights to the Principality of Thunder this time, hoping to find an advantage at the end. The eldest prince Alec was the commander, but he was also intimidated by the combat power of the Principality of Camai, and his plans could not be connected. Go ahead and return directly.
According to the plan formulated by the empire, once the Principality of Camai fails, the empire's 20,000 knights will immediately appear and turn the spoils of the Five Nations Alliance into theirs.
And if the Principality of Kamai wins, the knights of the empire will go to help the Principality of Kamai.
But what the eldest prince Alec never expected was that 14,000 knights from the Five Kingdoms would be beaten and surrendered in a short period of time.
He had no way to intervene even if he wanted to, and he also considered whether the Duke of Camai would directly attack them once they discovered their group of knights.
The empire's 20,000 knights also have no air defense equipment. Once they encounter the air power of the Kamai Principality, there will be another massacre.
"I really regret giving the Griffin Knights to Grandmaster Abel. Now it seems that the Principality of Camai will be able to have a strong squadron of Griffin Knights in a few decades!" His Majesty Ambrose said with some annoyance.
He knew very well where he got the extra ten griffins, and because of this, he did not dare to offend Abel even more.
Because after the ten griffins were kidnapped by the orc empire, they were placed in Niyan City. But what does Niyan City look like now? Six high-level orc priests died there, and tens of thousands of elite orc warriors were buried with them. Niyan City has become A dead place.
Since Abel can turn the city of Niyan into a dead place, can he also turn the city of St. Ellis Kingdom into a dead place
Every time this thought arose in his mind, His Majesty Ambrose had a creepy feeling. He once again felt that he had made a wrong step. He should have informed Abel immediately when he first learned about the Five Nations Alliance.
"Gryphon knights are not easy to train, and we have gone through hundreds of trials..." When the eldest prince Alec was about to persuade him again, he thought of the four gryphon knight captains, who are members of the royal family of the Kingdom of St. Ellis. The dead man was given to Abel because he had no potential.
Now they have become the Grand Knight Commander of the Griffin. With this kind of kindness, who dares to say that these four Grand Knight Commanders of the Griffin will not hand over the training methods of the Empire's Griffin Knights to Abel.
Just from the ten more gryphon knights, it can be seen that at least the Grand Knight Commander of the gryphon has trained a group of gryphon knights for the Principality of Camai.
…
Among the Thunder Principality, the King of Thunder Principality's eyes were dull at this time, because the war was pushed from the Thunder Principality to the Kamai Principality, so he knew the situation of the war best.
After hearing the news of the defeat, he could no longer imagine what would happen in the future and what would happen to the Thunder Principality.
None of the knights who went to the Principality of Camai were able to return, and all the wizards were killed in the battle. This news made his eyes darken even more.
Knights are the foundation of a principality. The reason why the political situation in the principality is stable is because there are knights taking care of it. For this war, the originally weak Thunder Principality mobilized almost all the knights in the principality to form a knight team.
Now that all the knights have been captured, even the ordinary redemption price for these knights is not something that the Thunder Principality can currently afford.
These knights were recruited by the Principality of Thunder to fight for the Principality of Thunder. Now that they are captured, they should be redeemed by the Principality of Thunder, otherwise who would sacrifice their lives for the Principality of Thunder.
But there were so many of these knights that the redemption price was enough to bankrupt the Principality of Thunder several times.
In the Thunder Principality, such big news cannot be blocked. Various noble families have sent people to the palace to ask the Thunder Principality to redeem their knights.
This is only part of it. More nobles and knight families have not received the news. Once they all get the news, the palace will be surrounded by the nobles who come.
In the wizarding circle of the Thunder Principality, a group of low-level wizards are discussing leaving the Thunder Principality. Only one junior wizard remains in the Thunder Principality, and all other wizards died in the Kamai Principality.
As soon as he got the news, the junior wizard left their magic tower and disappeared without telling anyone. He didn't even want his magic tower and just disappeared.
This is no wonder for this junior wizard, because Abel's desire for revenge is too strong. Think about the Duke of Keen back then, because of the attack on his family castle, the entire wizard circle of the principality was completely destroyed.
And then because a senior wizard issued a notice to him, when he returned a few years later, the senior wizard was also killed.
No matter whether it was the Wizards Guild or other wizards, they didn't say anything on the surface, but they knew very well in their hearts who did this.
With such a strong desire for revenge, this time the Neijin City was robbed and many people were killed. In this case, the junior wizard knew very well that he could not bear Abel's anger, so he ran away.
As a junior wizard, he is not a fool anywhere. If he leaves the Kingdom of St. Ellis and goes to other empires, he can find a principality to seek refuge in and be worshiped by the principality. Why wait here for Abel's revenge.
Not only the Principality of Thunder, but also the Principality of Raqqa, Koror, Larvi, and the organizer, the Principality of Taikos, are also panic-stricken.
Almost all the knights in the country were captured. Under this situation, the domestic situation suddenly became serious. The crisis of food shortage was still continuing. Now that such a big thing happened, there was no peace in several principalities.
Without the suppression of the knights, some hungry civilians began to organize and rob the nobles of their food. This happened countless times every day, and the entire society began to become chaotic.
At this time, the Principality of Techos also wanted to contact the other four principalities to discuss a solution, but the proposal of the Principality of Techos was rejected. Now no principality dares to make an alliance.
As the organizer of this war, the Principality of Taikos will definitely be in greater trouble than the four principalities. At this time, the four principalities are even less likely to have too much contact with the Principality of Taikos.
The four principalities even thought that if the principality of Taikos should bear more responsibilities, then the four principalities would not be able to bear less responsibilities. Under this idea, the five principalities that were originally allied with each other began to have no contact with each other.
If it were in the past, the strength of six of the seven vassal states of the Kingdom of St. Ellis has dropped to a low point. This time should be the best opportunity for the vassal states of the other two empires to invade. Even if they don't invade, they just come to fight some autumn wind. , it is normal to get some benefits.
But now no principality dares to touch these principalities that have no ability to protect themselves. At least they will not and do not dare to do so until the Kamai Principality completes its war claims.
Thinking about the strength shown by Kamai Principality, its invincible combat power in the sky, and the most important thing is the ten extra griffons, every principality will think of the dead orc empire Niyan City, and the city in Niyan. The six 'soul lights' of Yancheng.
Just thinking of these will make any principality or even the three empires lose the idea of snatching the fruits of victory from Kamai Principality.
While the five principalities were still anxiously waiting for Kamai's decision, ten days had passed and a team of 13,000 knights escorted by Abel had arrived in Gamba City.
The gates of Gamba City were wide open, and countless people stood on both sides of the road.
When the sky boat appeared over the city of Gamba and Abel stood on the boat to reveal his figure, the whole city of Gamba cheered.
"The king is victorious!"
The huge cheers made Abel feel a jolt on the sky boat. The Kamai Principality, which had been a weak principality for a long time, welcomed prisoners of war as a powerful victor for the first time.
The strong sense of honor drove the people of Gamba City crazy. They looked at their king with the most fanatical eyes. It was the great King Abel who led the weak Kamai Principality to defeat the coalition of five principalities.
The people of Gamba City knew what the more than 10,000 knights from these five principalities were here to do. They were here to rob them of their food, the food they relied on for survival.
When 13,000 knights entered Gamba City, curses and flying garbage were thrown at these knights. These were originally glorious knights.
Fortunately, food is very precious now, so there is no such thing as using eggs to throw prisoners. But by the time these knights reached a military camp in Gamba City, there were not many clean places left on their bodies.
This camp is where Gamba City prepares for the custody of 13,000 knights. There is really no cell that can hold so many knights.
For the next period of time, these knights will only be able to eat two meals a day for every eight knights in a room, and two meals will not make them full.
The reason for this is to make these knights have no strength to resist. Of course, this has violated the knight code. According to the treatment of knights waiting for redemption, the knights must at least be given good shelter and food.
But there are too many knights this time, and the entire Holy Continent is currently in a food crisis. It is already a very good thing to have food for these knights.
Of course, any food these knights eat here is provided by the 10,000-person food transport team that was also captured, but its value will still be included in the redemption fee.
A large number of warriors were arranged around the barracks where 13,000 knights were guarded. Crossbows and bows and arrows surrounded the entire military camp.
Thirteen thousand knights were guarding Gamba City, making it impossible for Abel to leave Gamba City. So many knights were like huge explosives that would explode if not careful.
As the captive knights were settled, the nobles of the Kamai Principality began to get busy. Each family sent a large number of people to calculate the ransom for each knight, and then these values were directly fed back to the other principality.
And Abel was also waiting for these knights to be dealt with before looking for trouble with the five principalities. Through this battle, he clearly understood the advantages of the Principality of Kamai and the disadvantages of the Principality of Kamai.
The Principality of Kamai has a powerful air combat capability that no principality has. In terms of air combat power, even the three major empires are far inferior to the Principality of Kamai.
Like the Sky Boat and the Repeating City Crossbow, these are strategic weapons that the dwarves will not sell to the outside world. Except for the Principality of Kamai, which owns them because of Abel, no other principality or empire has such weapons. .
The lightning spiral is even more terrifying. Originally, a strategic weapon like the sky boat was most afraid of being approached by an intermediate wizard through 'teleportation', because most of the time, neither the city crossbow nor the continuous powerful city crossbow could kill a single person. A wizard who can 'teleport'.
Therefore, when the wizard uses 'teleportation' to get close to the sky boat, it will bring a devastating blow to the sky boat.
But with the lightning spiral, the situation is different. There are ten lightning spirals on the sky boat, so any wizard who dares to forcefully board the sky boat will be directly defined as an enemy by the spirit of the sky boat, and then suffer to the violent blows of the lightning spiral.
Based on the distribution of lightning spirals on the sky boat, wherever a wizard appears on the sky boat, he will be quickly struck by the lightning spiral at the nearest distance. The speed of lightning can almost make it impossible for the wizard who has just 'teleported' in time. Use the second 'teleport' and you will be hit.
And no matter how strong it is, as long as it is hit by the lightning spiral, it will be paralyzed. Then it is believed that even a high-level wizard cannot withstand the joint attack of ten lightning spirals.
The Sky Boat, with the cooperation of the Griffin Knight, can make up for its lack of detection and attacks beyond the shooting range, while the Griffin Knight can use the Sky Boat as a resting platform.
Riding on the gryphon knight's sky boat reminded Abel of the aircraft carrier in his previous life. Today's sky boat is just like this. It's just that there are too few gryphon knights to deploy in large numbers. After waiting for decades, the gryphon knights will Breed to a sufficient number, and then the Sky Boat will be even more powerful.
No one in the Holy Continent knows the role of the Sky Boat better than Abel, and he is also working hard to move the Sky Boat towards the goal he hopes for.
In contrast to the powerful combat power in the sky, the combat power of the knights on the ground is far behind. Although they have magic knight equipment that is unimaginable for knights in other principalities or empires, as well as more powerful war horses, the difference in numbers makes the Principality of Camai The knight can only be used as a supplement to combat power, and cannot reflect the powerful attack that a knight should have.
There is a long way to go!
Abel sighed in his heart. He was now in the palace. The palace, which had been vacant, finally had some life. Countless noble officials came to report on the war every day.
The war does not end when it is fought. There are still a lot of things that need to be resolved. Even Abel did not expect that it would take so much time to deal with the things after the victory.
Every day, dozens of groups of noble officials go to various principalities during the teleportation circle. For example, some wealthy nobles no longer consider that their principalities will help redeem family knights. Instead, they prepare the ransom themselves and contact Kamai directly.
Time passed like this day by day. Among the 13,000 knight captives, only 3,000 knights were ransomed, and the remaining 10,000 knights, although the principality of Camai had already distributed the ransom amount to the corresponding principality. , but so far no one has contacted the Principality of Kamai about their fate.
