Towards the direction of Thunder City, hundreds of defeated soldiers of the Roland Army were running like crazy. Some of these people were covered in blood, some fell down on the ground while running and could not stand up again. Those who were injured had already thrown away all their armor and weapons.
At this time, even soldiers who usually have good personal relationships with each other can no longer care about their companions. They wish they could grow two more legs and run to Thunder City in one breath.
The grass and trees along the way were all deserted, and even a random crow flying in the sky above their heads would frighten their legs and feet to the point of weakness. If anyone is a little braver, he might accidentally shout in panic: "He's coming after me!"
Then the scene would be even more beautiful. Those who still had the strength at the front would speed up their pace and run wildly. Those behind who had no strength would simply cry and pull at their companions, begging them to pull them and run.
They ran like this for an hour, fast and slowly, intermittently. Many people were so tired that they were almost breathless even though their injuries were not serious.
However, the enemies wearing Holy Knights equipment that sneaked up on their side did not seem to pursue them immediately...
It's not that Sieg is too lazy to pursue him, it's just that he doesn't need it anymore. Every time he passed a level along the way, Sieg didn't bother to care about the enemies he defeated. His goal was to move forward! forward!
As for those Roland people, let them run away as they please!
If they escape towards the Pamir Plains, then Sieg will naturally have nothing to do with them. His mission is to capture Thunder City! As long as Thunder City doesn't get any news! As for the main Roland army in the Pamir Plains - naturally the main army of the empire will contain them.
If these defeated soldiers run towards Thunder City - a joke! In terms of speed, can they compare to the lightning-fast Thunder God's Whip? Along the way, I caught up with them and overtook them. When I was happy, I picked up my sword and slashed at a few of them. When I was tired, I just ignored them. All the way forward... The guys who were left with frightened expressions were left dumbfounded as these enemies who sneaked up on them caught up with them, but they did not attack and kill them, but ran all the way to the north of the road.
Some Roland people who were running almost to death could not help but wonder: "Are these guys here to fight us or to race us?"
However, Sieg did not immediately pursue the defeated army at this final stronghold. It was not that he was too lazy to pay attention, but he simply did not need to...
Besides, after these hundreds of people ran wildly for an hour, the originally swarmed team gradually dispersed. The team extended for hundreds of meters. Those who were strong were still at the front, while those who were not strong were already struggling behind a hundred meters behind. Of course, the Roland people also have smart minds and are not so stupid. They might as well just go to the main road. Just find a tree or low-lying terrain and climb up to avoid this disaster first...
Running at the forefront was Roland's officer stationed at the stronghold - of course, a deputy. The one in charge had died heroically for the holy war, and must have returned to the embrace of the great god at this moment.
The deputy officer Si, with a few of his subordinates who still had strength around him, saw a faint group of cavalry blocking the road in the distance ahead in the dark night, but the night was hazy. It's not very realistic.
These people were relieved. This place was not far from Thunder City. It must be Thunder City's own army. They all got up and ran over shouting.
Running closer and closer, I finally saw the appearance of this cavalry in the darkness - the special knight armor and black cloak. And that special cross-striped battle flag - it's clearly a holy knights! !
The deputy officer's joy immediately turned into panic - the Holy Knights had all followed the main army to the front line! Where did the Holy Knights come from near Thunder City behind you?
Although there were doubts in his mind, he still ran a few steps forward - but these were the last few steps.
With a whoosh, an arrow shot over and penetrated the officer's neck. The Roland man finally saw clearly the appearance of the cavalry in front of him - hell, they were just as fake as the enemies who attacked him just now!
And the Roland man's last thought before he died was: Glaucoma kills people...
Rody shot out an arrow without waiting for Kraft's order. Kraft just frowned, looked coldly at the guy who took action privately, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Fire the arrow!"
After a round of arrows, there were not many left alive among the Roland people who rushed over.
Then Kraft waved his hand, and a group of cavalry rushed over. After running back and forth twice, they killed all the Roland people they could find. Roddy didn't move anymore. He deeply regretted why he had shot the arrow first without saying a word. It seemed that he had been a duke for too long and had no habit of moving his hands after hearing orders. . In the army, taking action without a legal order is a violation of military regulations and will be punished!
Kraft didn't say anything. He just gave him a cold look and said calmly: "These Roland people were defeated. Lord Sieg must have rushed over."
Rody nodded, feeling a strange feeling in his heart - he originally didn't care when he was a Duke, but now that he has become a small team captain, he couldn't help but feel a sense of restraint in his heart.
Perhaps human nature is like this. When you are accustomed to standing in a high position, you suddenly change your status and fall to the bottom. There is always an inexplicable feeling of loss.
A group of cavalry under Kraft had already gone to the road to meet them. Not long after, Ziege's cavalry brigade had already rushed over along the road. Although Sieg was now the deputy commander of the regiment, because it was before the war and time was tight, Kraft did not dismount from his horse and salute, but sat on the horse column and leaned forward a little.
Sieg took a deep breath, glanced at the sky, and said solemnly: "Commander Kraft, are your people having a smooth journey?"
Kraft sat up straight and whispered: "It's going well! As expected, there are no Roland people guarding the road. Maybe they haven't discovered this road yet. There should be no Roland people who have noticed that we have come here."
Qi Ge nodded, sighed, and said: "Let's go forward for a while. Then we will find a private place to rest and recover our strength, and then at dawn, prepare to attack Thunder City!" At this point, Qi Ge Ge seemed to remember something and shouted in a low voice: "Captain Roddy!"
Rody's heart moved and he immediately said loudly: "Yes!"
Zig drove his horse and walked slowly to Rody's side. He looked up and down at Roddy. The more he looked at Roddy, the more strange he felt in his heart. It's just that I can't tell what's wrong. Sieg shook his head, thinking that the war was about to begin. Why are you thinking so much? Then he dispersed the distracting thoughts in his mind and said in a deep voice: "Captain Rody, you lead the Duke's personal troops into the tunnel. Your people are the key to the success or failure of this battle!"
As soon as these words came out, Rody felt uncomfortable all over - Siege usually saluted him. This time the role changed, I just felt unspeakably uncomfortable all over my body.
At this moment, a certain unscrupulous old guy far away in the imperial capital burst out laughing: "This boy, now you know the benefits of being a duke... There is a grand duke with more than ten thousand people, but he wants to be a soldier, really. I wonder if there is something wrong with his mind..."
The night was as calm as water. Although the Roland soldiers on the city wall of Thunder City had changed their shifts, many of them couldn't help but fell on the wall and dozed off.
There were only groups of patrol soldiers walking back and forth on the city wall, looking at the guys lying on the wall who were obviously lazy, with envious eyes in their eyes - well, who told it to be their turn to patrol the night tonight? With jealousy in their hearts, when they saw these lazy guys, they couldn't help but kick them to wake them up. Then they ignored each other's angry eyes and continued to patrol in a swagger, thinking, "Who deserves it?" When I was told to sleep last night, why did you kick me awake
The terrain of Thunder City is extremely special. Normal fortresses and cities were originally in a square shape, surrounded by four walls, but Thunder City was different from other cities and fortresses.
Thunder City only has two city walls and gates in the north and south, and there are natural cliffs on the left and right sides - to say they are cliffs is an exaggeration. The mountains on both sides are not very majestic and tall, and the highest hillside is only more than 20 meters. It's just that the terrain here is unique. The mountains on both sides stretch for dozens of miles, and the side facing the sea is filled with cliffs and rocks that have been washed by the sea for millions of years.
In fact, the place where Thunder City is located is not an open ground in the first place.
A small mountain range dozens of miles long originally stretched across the shore of the Thunder Strait. This mountain range happens to be just a few miles away from the coast. In fact, it is said that tens of thousands of years ago, this place was originally a sea. However, with the rotation of the sun and the moon, the sea changed, and a mountain range on the seabed turned into land. . On both sides of the mountain range, there are rugged rocky lands, and chaotic groups of large and small rocks are scattered on the land along Haiyan. If a small group of people can just walk, a large group of people will definitely not be able to get through... Even if people can. In the past, horses and vehicles could never get through.
According to this terrain, the Bright Empire selected a special terrain in the middle of this mountain range hundreds of years ago. It spent countless manpower and money to dig a gap in a section of the mountain. After the north and south were connected, the gaps in the north and south were opened. Two city walls were built... This formed today's Thunder City.
At this moment, the buildings in Thunder City have long been changed beyond recognition. The original buildings have been destroyed in the previous war. After the Roland people occupied Thunder City, they did not spend too much effort to rebuild them. Instead, they destroyed more buildings. The ruins were demolished, razed to the ground, and then all the stone materials were used to strengthen the city wall.
So at this moment, most places in Thunder City have become flat ground, with only countless military camps stationed in the city.
It's already dawn, the darkest moment before dawn every day, and the early morning hours are also the moments when a person is most mentally exhausted...
Somewhere in the south of the city, a dark figure slowly crawled out of a well. The figure jumped out of the well, immediately squatted down on the ground and looked around, and then one figure after another climbed out of the well behind him. . These people dispersed into several groups, there were actually hundreds of people, and they dispersed according to different paths.
At night, Rody's group slowly moved towards the southern city wall through the remaining buildings in the city. The group he led consisted of ten people, all of whom were Duke's soldiers who had been transformed by the vampires. Relying on their familiarity with the terrain of the city, the ten people hid in a ruins of buildings, hiding their figures in the darkness. Although soldiers on night watch passed by from time to time, no Roland person would have thought that the enemy had actually reached the city without anyone noticing... After all, there are three military strongholds as checkpoints on the way south...
The atmosphere was as quiet as suffocating. Roddy squatted on the ground quietly, waiting patiently...
About a meal later. I heard a noise coming from somewhere in the city, and then I heard a "peng" sound, and a shining spark flew up from the city. Straight up into the sky! !
That's exactly the promised signal!
A group of people in the city deliberately made noise inside to attract the attention of the Roland army, and then simultaneously told Roddy in the south of the city and Sieg and others outside the city: Do it!
The spark in the night sky shone for a long time. In the dark night, people even more than ten miles away can see clearly.
The Roland people in the city were immediately frightened, and the surrounding patrol teams rushed toward the place where the sparks shot up in the city! Even the patrol team from the south of the city that had just passed by Rody ran over.
Rody sighed: "The Roland army is really not good! In this situation, the enemy must sneak attack at night. How many enemies can there be in the city? There is no need to be nervous! If I command the troops, the first thing I will do is order people to go to the city gate. direction for reinforcements!”
Taking a deep breath, Rody jumped up and shouted: "Come on!"
He took the lead and ran out like a civet.
A dozen ghost-like figures quickly ran towards the city gate. The Roland people under the city gate discovered it immediately. Some Roland people immediately shouted loudly, and with the shouting, Rody and others rushed up at an extremely fast speed, slashing out the swords in their hands, and immediately killed two Roland soldiers. .
The Roland people on the city wall were also alarmed. Groups of Roland people ran towards the city wall in a noisy manner. The officers were shouting loudly, and the soldiers were like headless flies in the dark. Some of them came from their sleep. When I woke up, I still couldn't figure out what happened.
There were hundreds of Roland people guarding the city gate. Rody's group were all powerful men. They suddenly rushed into the crowd of Roland soldiers and cut down a large number of them in a matter of seconds!
Many Roland people had not yet reacted. They only saw some people dressed in Holy Knights uniforms rushing over. They did not understand the situation for a while and were still doubting whether to take action. However, after a slight hesitation and a moment of confusion, For Roddy's dozen people, that's enough! The swords in their hands have already chopped off the heads of the Roland people!
At this moment, other detachments in the city also started to cause trouble everywhere. Fires appeared in more than a dozen places. Although they only had a few hundred people, in the night, they could only see fires everywhere in the thundering city, and there were shouts of killing everywhere. But there was a big commotion!
Roddy and his dozen or so vampires pierced the crowd like steel knives. Only screams of pain were heard in the darkness. Their target was very clear, which was the city gate not far in front of them! !
The dull and dense sound of horse hooves came from outside the south gate. The soldiers on the city wall had discovered the situation outside the city. They shouted at the top of their voices: "There are cavalry! There are cavalry!!! The enemy is attacking the city!!!"
The enemy is attacking the city?
The Roland people who were still struggling to besiege Roddy and others below the city were in chaos - the enemy was attacking the city? Where did the enemy come from? Did it fall from the sky? The one that grew out of taking things easy?
But when I heard the people on the city wall shouting so loudly, it didn’t seem like they were fake...
Rody slashed out with his sword, splitting the two Roland men in front of him in half. He heard the sound of horse hooves outside the city, and he was anxious. If the cavalry rushed to the city and didn't open the city gate, it would be troublesome. Got it! There are still archers on the city wall! The cavalry who rushed under the city wall were just the target of the archers!
Rody gritted his teeth and looked around at the blood clan soldiers he trusted. He roared, grabbed a Roland man next to him, and rolled him up. After a series of ping ping ping ping ping ping sounds, Although the Roland man he wheeled up had broken bones and tendons, a circle of Roland soldiers around him flew out one after another. Rody threw the Roland man in his bloody hand out and grabbed it from the ground. of a sword. His eyes flashed suddenly, and a ball of golden fighting spirit burst out from his body. Looking at the huge and thick city gate not far away, he roared, and the sword in his hand roared with a ball of dazzling golden fighting spirit...
Just a moment ago, under the city gate in the north of the city.
Two groups of Roland soldiers stood neatly on both sides under the city gate. The leader of the Sauron Kingdom's 2nd Infantry Regiment, the defender of Thunder City, was saying in a respectful tone: "Lord Saint, are you leaving tonight?"
In front of her was a slender figure shrouded in a black robe, with a tall cloak covering her head. A clear and delicate voice was heard saying lightly: "I have conveyed the order of the temple. Ship. The team’s belongings have also been delivered, you don’t need to keep them!”
After finishing speaking, she seemed to glance lightly in the direction of the south, and her slender and clear eyes actually seemed to be in a trance for a moment. Then she turned and walked towards the city gate. Behind her were four holy knights wearing high-ranking knight costumes. The four young knights all looked at the slender figure in front of them with eyes full of respect and love.
The leader took a breath and immediately said: "Have a good trip, Lord Saint! I... He originally wanted to curry favor with the Lord Saint of Roland Temple. After all, the other party is a holy Saint! The power of such a big shot is greater than that of His Majesty the King. Not bad at all! Although the saint seemed a little cold and... obviously, she seemed to be in a bad mood, but she still had to say a few words of compliment.
It's a pity that before the last few words were uttered, I saw several soldiers from behind rushing towards me!
The saint and the holy knights immediately turned around, and the four holy knights surrounded her as if reflexively, with the swords in their hands already drawn out.
The regiment leader's face changed slightly, and he was about to scold his subordinates who came over loudly, but saw that his subordinates were covered in blood, and their faces were full of panic, so he changed his words when he said the scolding: "What's going on? What happened? You..."
No longer reporting to his subordinates, he suddenly heard a "peng" sound, and a shining spark burst out from the city of Thunder City, and then rushed into the sky like a shooting star!
Immediately, the tranquility of the night was broken, shouts of killing came from every place in the city, and in a moment, flames shot into the sky.
The regimental leader turned pale and shouted loudly: "Give me the order to send the fifth battalion to me to see what's going on! Have the heretics from the Empire of Light already invaded the city?!"
He was quite calm, and his messengers ran away quickly. The black gauze saint seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said softly: "Your Excellency, Captain, has anything changed in the city?"
There was sweat on the head of the regiment leader, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The current situation is unknown. It is probably the Roland people who have sneaked into the city to cause trouble... Lord Saint, you see..."
The black-veiled saint seemed to frown and said coldly: "Your Excellency is the commander-in-chief of Thunder City, why are you asking me instead?"
The leader nodded repeatedly and responded: "Yes, yes... then..." At this point, his eyes seemed to look at the black gauze saint hesitantly.
Muse sighed, although he fought against the war with all his strength, after all, his personal power could not compete with the temple. And he was currently ordered to the front line. Although he only conveyed the order of the temple, Muse looked at the four holy knights around him and whispered: "There are changes in the army, let's go and take a look..." The four knights immediately He performed standard knight etiquette and took a step forward.
Muse pondered for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, the regiment commander, the enemy is causing chaos in the city at night, but we have tens of thousands of troops in the city. There is nothing to fear from some small groups of rebels who have infiltrated. Their purpose must be to take advantage of the chaos to capture the city. Gate, now please send someone to the south gate first... there must be... "
Speaking of this, Muse suddenly felt something in her heart, as if there was an inexplicable and strangely familiar feeling passing through her heart...
That... seems to be golden fighting spirit... could it be him... his holy light energy? Has he progressed to such an extent in just these few months? If it weren't for him... why... why is this grudge so familiar...
For a moment, Muse forgot to speak. He only felt the evening breeze blowing on his face. He looked dreamily in the south direction, and seemed to be stunned...
