When his father fell, Harding Holden panicked immediately. He turned to call for help, but saw that the family knights who came back with his father stopped him with solemn expressions.
It was hard to tell when I first entered the city. Looking at it now, the knights who came back are all mentally exhausted and painful. Many people straightened up and walked into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, then swayed, relying on the support of their companions to lie down steadily.
Less than half of these family knights were safe and sound. This is not a return from a big victory at all, it is clearly a fiasco!
Wait..., not half.
Harding is even more cool.
I went out for more than two hundred yesterday, but only 70 or 80 when I came back today. What about the rest
"Young City Lord, we must hurry up and find some priests." A returning family knight grabbed Harding's shoulder and shook it. "At the same time, the whole city is under martial law and all the family forces are mobilized to strengthen defense."
The sudden change made Harding panic. He only felt his heart beating, dizziness and tinnitus. He forced himself to calm down and send someone to find the pastor. At the same time, he ordered an emergency situation in the city, closed the city gates, blocked the streets, and no one was allowed in or out.
And..., keeping an eye on the great nobles in the city who refused to send troops to rescue last night. This is a lesson learned from the cost of blood from the long legs of Cold Wind City. In extraordinary times, we must be highly vigilant against the possibility of civil strife.
There is the temple of Ollur in the city, and if you want those ruthless guys to shoot, you have to spend money.
Fortunately, spending money is still useful.
Most of the more than 70 knights who came back were treated, which was considered an important force of the Holden family.
Although the lord was not awake, he could lie on the big bed in the bedroom and breathe smoothly. The servant who dismantled his armor was frightened and his hands and feet were soft, because when he uncovered his blood jacket, he could see the fleshy skin between the chest and ribs, and the wound was deep with bones.
A servant of the city lord's confidant wept bitterly and told about the battle that took place last night.
"Monster Hugo's infantry suddenly appeared in the middle of the night. They stepped on the sea of fire and attacked us without fear of death.
The enemy's thin three-row queue seemed to collapse in one rush, but after we rushed many times, they just refused to back down. Those untouchables are different from the past.
We are all professional knights who have trained for many years. We have superb combat skills. We are obviously stronger, but whenever we want to break through the defense of Coldwind City's infantry, the enemy's light cavalry will come to make up for the leakage.
For some reason, the timing of each attack is very good. Always a fatal blow in our most uncomfortable position. The exchange ratio on the battlefield is terrible. "
Harding sat on the head of his father's bed, surrounded by many family knights who had fought last night. The latter was either silent or frowning, and some looked terrified.
Fighting in the dark is inherently difficult. If the enemy can deal with it efficiently, the battle will be even more difficult.
The trusted attendant sighed repeatedly, and continued by the bedside: "In order to break through the siege, your lord of the city led us to open the gap of the enemy infantry.
But before we were happy, the monster Hugo personally came up to the showdown. He hacked Hall to death with a single sword. By the way, before that, Zack had been killed in battle. "
The sword light that cut through the night has harvested the lives of many family members and left a deep impression on those who survived. No one can contend with that epee, and any armor and armor against it will be smashed and smashed.
The cronies cried out the names of many colleagues, and finally added, "The weapon in the hands of the monster Hugo is by no means ordinary. He kills all the opponents.
It was really a monster, slashing in close combat, casting spells in long range, and immune to most of our attacks.
I saw someone hit it with my own eyes, but the monster Hugo was unscathed. Only a few wizards cast arcane spells on him, and finally did some harm. "
An enemy who can't kill even on a rampage is undoubtedly extremely frightening. When the Broken Bridge City side discovered that they had to use enchanted weapons and arcane magic to be useful, a wave of people had already died.
"We finally killed the monster Hugo's horse so that he could not continue to charge. I watched him fall from the horse back to the ground, and thought he would not be able to get up.
Unfortunately, monsters are not that easy to die. Not only did he get up, but he was fully fired. He holds an epee in one hand and casts a spell with the other. He is totally against common sense. "
When the confidant attendant said this, the fear brought by the memories made him tremble. He had to hunch, kneel slowly on the ground as a support, lowered his head to wipe the tears from his eyes.
The family knights surrounding the bedroom showed an unbearable expression, their morale dropped to zero, as if they had been ravaged thousands of times, and they had no confidence to face them again.
"When the monster Hugo fell off the horse, we cheered for a while. Your Lord of the City encouraged us even more and gathered a dozen people to kill the culprit.
But then, the monster suddenly broke out in an unusual state. It seems that he has been hiding his strength before, and he will only reveal his second face when he is knocked down.
He is casting a spell, casting it quickly. Arcane and divine arts come at hand, flames, frost, lightning strikes, storms, one after another. The brilliance of spellcasting on the battlefield has also become extremely deadly.
The fixation technique he released can instantly make people stiff. His smashing sound waves can ignore the armor's protection. His backlash curse can cause any attacker to suffer the same damage.
He is almost invincible, no matter who it is, he can easily deal with it. The siege of more than a dozen people failed him, even the lord of the city..."
The trusted attendant raised his head in tears. Kyle Holden was lying on a velvet mattress with a weak breath.
A Frost priest had just frozen the wound under his chest and ribs with cold air, so as not to continue to bleed, and at the same time cast a spell to heal the wound and save his life.
"The Lord of the City released the'Blade Storm' with the family ring, hoping to kill the evil and terrifying opponent.
But the monster Hugo deserves to be the one who can stir up the chaos of the entire Northland. He even withstood the cutting of the high-speed knife wheel and launched a counterattack. "
'Blade Storm', the sixth-level magic. It creates a circular wall of blades, full of sharp whirling blades, which can cut any melee opponent.
This is an offensive and defensive divine art, if you accidentally fall into it, it will be crazily cut by the whirling blade and turned into pieces of meat or even meat.
The patriarch of the Horton family has a ring that seals the "Blade Storm", which is specially used to defeat the enemy in times of crisis. But this time the family ring failed to work.
"Monster Hugo shot a powerful shuttle and penetrated the barrier formed by the blade storm. We later guessed that the shuttle should be made of fine gold. It pierced the magical armor of the lord of the city, and He was hit hard.
But Hugo didn't get well either. That guy was also injured in the blade storm, and I saw his blood splash on the whirling blade. Although he failed to kill him, at least he was seriously injured. "
The trusted attendant used affirmative sentences, which made Harding feel better. Faced with such a powerful enemy, it is not bad for his father to be able to injure each other.
It's just that the family knights who are in the bedroom are not happy, they are still worried.
"What should we do now?"
Harding looked back at the people around him. He is still young and does not know how to face the current situation. Now that there are strong enemies outside and hidden dangers inside, a second cold wind city might be the only response to a mistake.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one could tell. The battle last night made everyone discouraged, whoever said they wanted to go out of the city to confront the monster Hugo, they were the first to refuse.
All you can think of is defending the city.
However, at this time, a message came from the city gate guard, saying that several knight masters who followed the city lord had returned last night. They asked to see the Lord of the City immediately, and said that they had brought a letter from Victor Hugo of Coldwind City.
