"This... isn't this a chariot?" Rody narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Rody, the king, and the Sith master were standing in a small school ground in the palace under the crypt at this moment.
This circular school grounds presents a concave arc, like an ancient arena. The three of them are standing on a stone platform several meters high.
Just now, a stone door next to the school grounds slowly opened, and a Sauron chariot sped out from inside. The chariot looked exactly like what Rody had seen in the last war. Two tall defending horses were covered with a layer of fine armor, dragging a two-wheeled carriage made of iron wood. There were long sharp steel knives stuck on the wheels on both sides of the carriage. When the wheels rolled, the The steel knife spins quickly, enough to kill the approaching enemy. Among the three soldiers on the carriage, one was driving, one was holding a shield, and the other was holding a long battle ax.
"Your Excellency Rody must have seen the power of the chariot?" The king smiled slightly, seeming quite proud.
Rody glanced at the king and whispered: "This kind of chariot has outstanding advantages, but its shortcomings are also very obvious! It may be able to show its power for a while in the open plains, but it is not absolutely invincible! If it encounters a well-trained As long as the infantry is used properly, there will be no suspense in defeating this flashy chariot team!”
"Oh?" The king smiled leisurely.
Rody sighed: "First of all, the charging speed! A carriage plus three fully armored soldiers, as well as the weapons and shields in their hands, plus the fine armor on the horses... Such a weight is too heavy for the horses. , is a huge burden, so the charging speed of the chariot is not even as fast as that of the heavy cavalry! If I were the commander, as long as a lightly armed cavalry did not confront the chariot, it would be easy to retreat. Use the advantage of speed to distance yourself and avoid close combat! At the same time, use co-construction to kill the opponent... "
The king said lightly: "That's different! Your country's Thunder God's Whip is all over the world, so it is naturally proud of its cavalry! It's just that my chariot team is used to deal with the dwarves! The dwarves are naturally short in stature. Their lower limbs are short, so they are not suitable for being... Cavalry. And they are in the inland sea and lack horses! Even if they have money to buy war horses, they cannot raise them in large numbers on the island... So, your hypothesis does not hold true for the dwarves!"
Rody frowned and continued: "Even if the dwarves don't have excellent cavalry, even infantry. As long as you master the appropriate methods, it is not difficult to defeat this kind of chariot team."
The king's smile seemed unfathomable. Just look at Roddy.
Rody paused for a moment, then whispered: "If I lead the troops to defend the city wall to resist this kind of chariot, I won't be able to do it! As long as I have a well-trained elite infantry, I can defeat the chariot!" He said He said slowly: 'The power of the chariot depends entirely on the sprint of the horses! As long as there is a team of excellent archers behind the formation, they can fire a volley. Shoot horses but not people! If one of the two horses pulling a chariot is wounded by a shot, the injured horse will not be able to run. While running at high speed, the chariot will definitely overturn. Then there was the car crash and the death! Roddy paused and continued: "In the charging formation, even if you make the formation of chariots looser, as long as the chariots and horses in front are hit, the chariots in the front will lose their mobility. Then the chariot behind will also be blocked! The entire queue was immediately collapsed! "Speaking of this, Rody sighed: "I don't have to let the soldiers die in vain. The archers from far away shoot the horses. After the horses are killed, the infantry rushes up. The chariot that has lost its ability to move only I can wait to be slaughtered. "
The king smiled slightly: "Well, Roddy, you might as well give it a try!"
He clapped his hands, and a guardian knight immediately walked out from behind the ground door and handed over a pair of bows and arrows.
The king took a step forward and waved to the chariot below. The soldiers shouted and waved their whips, and the chariot started running rapidly in the school field.
Rody seemed stunned when he saw the bow and arrow handed to him. Then I heard the king whisper: "You might as well try it and shoot the horse pulling the cart with a bow and arrow!"
Since it was the king who asked him to shoot, Rody no longer hesitated, bent his bow and shot the arrow, and shot the arrow towards the horse! His archery skills are quite good, and the power and accuracy of this arrow have reached a certain level. Although he did not use fighting spirit, when this arrow went out, a "whoosh" sound was heard, and it had already hit the horse. backup! The sharp arrow broke through the armor on the horse and stuck crookedly on the horse's back.
What surprised Roddy was that the horse that was shot did not neigh at all, but still spread its hooves hard and galloped forward, not caring about the arrow wounds on its body! !
"You can keep cumming!" A strange light flashed in the king's eyes.
Rody took a deep breath and pulled out four sharp arrows from his quiver with one hand. Then he moved like the wind, and the sound of "ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!" The hit horse! !
"What the hell?" Rody was surprised. Seeing the king cast a somewhat mocking look, Rody quickly drew out another sharp arrow!
Although his archery skills are not as good as Dak's, they are still obtained through careful and hard training. This time he aimed at the horse's head! The arrow went over and hit the target. The horse couldn't stand it any longer, and finally staggered a few steps and collapsed!
As one horse fell, the other horse could no longer pull the chariot. The chariot that was running at a rapid speed stumbled suddenly, and half of the wheels were lifted. Fortunately, the soldier driving the chariot was well prepared and was not able to pull the chariot. Really flipped over!
"How?" Although Rody's last arrow finally hit the horse, the king was not frustrated at all and looked at Rody with a smile.
There was no joy of victory on Roddy's face. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "I lost!"
His last arrow hit the horse's head! And if you want to accurately hit the horse's head with an arrow while the horse is running at high speed... even an elite archer will have a hard time finding out how many. Most archer soldiers definitely don't have this ability!
Ordinary archers can only hit a horse at most... But seeing the horse hit by five arrows, it still kept running...
"There's something weird about these horses!" Rody said solemnly: "If an ordinary army encountered this kind of chariot, I'm afraid the archers haven't shot the horses yet. The chariot has already rushed in front of them."
The king nodded and glanced at the Sith. There was a faint smile on Sith's face; "This kind of horse is different from ordinary war horses! Our magician has prepared a strange medicine. This medicine has been mixed in the horse's feed for a long time, making it This kind of horse can't feel pain at all! They have a strong ability to resist being hit, and they can still run even if they are hit by seven or eight arrows!"
Rody closed his eyes and thought for a moment. Said: "Such a special war horse is indeed powerful. Perhaps only this kind of war horse can maximize the power of the chariot... But. Even if the archers cannot break the chariot team, there are still other ways!"
Rody opened his eyes, looked at the school field below, waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "If there is a team of heavy armored infantry with high morale! Get into a dense formation! At the same time, the soldiers in the front row have the determination and belief to die!" The heavy armored infantry shield wall is at the front, and the soldiers behind the shield use special spears of three to four meters to meet the charge of the chariot team! The chariot team may be able to break through the shield wall in the front row, but even if the horses are not afraid of bows and arrows, they are not. Immortal body! Spears can kill a lot of horses! As long as the front row of soldiers is killed and injured, the charge of the chariot team can be resisted!" He said slowly: "As long as the chariot in front is blocked! The chariots at the back are crowded, can they still fly? Without the charging chariots, they are just a pile of useless rotten wood!"
"Well-trained, with high morale, the soldiers have the belief and determination to die..." The king murmured to himself, suddenly looked at Rody and smiled: "There may be an army like the one you mentioned in your country... But, in Is there such an army in Roland Continent?”
Rody was at a loss for words... He had seen with his own eyes the strength of the Roland continental coalition on the battlefields of Thunder City and the Pamir Plain in the northwest of the empire.
To be honest, except for the elite "Holy Knights" and the barely good Royal Knights of the Kingdom of Sauron, the other armies of the Kingdom of Roland, in Rody's eyes, are really unable to achieve "training" "They are well trained and have high morale", not to mention that the soldiers have the belief and determination to die"!
The king looked at the reaction on Rody's face with satisfaction and said slowly: "That's right! If our chariot fleet encounters your country's elite infantry and cavalry, it may not be able to win, but it has been rampant in Roland for a while. "It's enough." He then smiled and said, "I know very well that if this chariot team encounters the Holy Knights, it will definitely not be able to win. But my purpose is not to deal with my imaginary enemy. It’s the dwarf armies!”
"Oh?" Rody frowned. He had never seen the dwarves before and knew nothing about their army. The king smiled: "I can at least guarantee that the dwarf army may be barely able to achieve 'well-trained and high morale', but it will definitely not be able to achieve the 'faith and determination to die' you said!!"
Roddy's eyes lit up: "Why?"
The king said calmly: "Because they are too rich!"
The king seemed to be in a trance when looking at the chariot below, and continued in his mouth: "The dwarves have made a lot of wealth through the ironwood trade for hundreds of years! The dwarves hundreds of years ago may have been very strong and could Dare to fight against the coalition forces of Roland Continent. But now, their courage has been replaced by heavy wallets! A rich man would not dare to fight with others!" The king seemed to smile: "The dwarf army is well equipped. , the soldiers’ pay is almost the highest in the Roland continent! But an army armed with money cannot truly have strong combat effectiveness! Mr. Rody, you should understand what I’m saying.”
The king suddenly smiled, took Roddy's hand, and said calmly: "Okay, I've finished reading here, I'll take you to see something else."
The two of them walked out of the door behind them hand in hand, still without any followers, only the Sith following them. The three of them entered the palace again.
After passing several arches, the three of them stood in front of two huge closed stone doors.
There was silence all around the palace, without any human sound at all - everyone here seemed to appear silently. Without the king's orders, it seems that everyone would become invisible.
"What is this place?" Rody looked at the stone door in front of him. There are relief carvings on the door. A long sword with a strange shape was formed, and there was indeed an olive leaf next to the long sword.
Seemingly seeing Roddy's surprise, the king smiled and said: "This relief is a symbol of the Shaka royal family. It means: the ultimate purpose of the sword is to bring peace!"
Rody sighed: "What the chrysanthemum said makes sense."
The king said seriously: "This stone gate existed when this place was built! Behind this gate are some files and records left by the Shaka royal family. Only members of the royal family can enter here! Even the Sith have never entered. ! I can tell you. Behind this stone door is the history of the rise and fall of the ancient Shaka Empire!"
Roddy's heart was pounding... The rise and fall of the Shaka Empire
Is it the historical truth that has been obliterated
The king nodded. His expression was serious, he looked at Rody solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Originally, according to the ancient royal rules, outsiders were not allowed to enter here! But the situation is different now! The temples are struggling, and Roland Continent has reached its most dangerous moment. ! If the Sauron Kingdom fails, then the last spark of the Shaka Empire will be completely extinguished! So today, I want to invite Mr. Rody to come with me to see the 'truth of history'! Di felt it clearly. The Sith beside him seemed to have a slight change of color on his face, but the king shook his head gently at him, with a stern look in his eyes.
"Then, Your Excellency Rody, welcome you to be the first guest in the royal forbidden area of Shaka in thousands of years!" After saying that, the king made an invitation gesture. Rody took a deep breath, and with some anticipation, stretched out his hand to push the two doors in front of him...
At this moment, just when Rody was nervously pushing open the "door hiding the historical truth", on the ground a hundred meters above, at the city gate on the edge of the royal capital, a light carriage was slowly approaching. Entering the city slowly.
After the soldiers guarding the city checked the other party's customs clearance procedures, they collected a certain tax in accordance with the general standards of the Kingdom of Sauron, and the carriage was able to enter the royal capital smoothly.
Along the broad street, the direction of the carriage was heading towards the palace.
It was broad daylight at the moment, and there were many pedestrians on the streets of the royal capital. The carriage was driving on the busiest street, but the windows seemed to be pushed open. A sweet and charming voice came out from the carriage.
The owner of this voice seemed to be sighing: "I didn't expect that this place would be much more prosperous than the last time I came here. This King Sauron is indeed no ordinary person. It seems that the Sauron royal family is very popular this way."
There seemed to be a slightly rough voice in the car whispering: "Why can't I see any difference?"
The charming voice seemed to smile softly and whispered: "You have never been to Roland Continent, so naturally you don't understand."
She seemed to sigh: "Now on the continent of Roland, the war between the temple and the kingdom is about to break out. The tax when we entered the city gate just now was much higher than when I came last time. Apparently the kingdom has been raising the tax rate and is preparing to Accumulate wealth and prepare for war! Under such circumstances, can you feel that there is a haze like before the war? After the increase in tax rates, have we heard any dissatisfaction with the royal family? Under such circumstances, King Sauron can still be so popular, and this method is not simple. "
The carriage gradually crossed the long street and approached the palace. But he turned onto a side road and headed towards an independent palace next to the palace.
Before the carriage arrived at the entrance of the palace, a group of soldiers from the Royal Knights had already greeted them. The leading officer immediately changed his expression to a respectful expression and led his own people to lead the way, leading the carriage all the way to the entrance of the palace.
After a moment, the palace door opened, and His Royal Highness Yawen, the crown prince of the Sauron Palace, strode out wearing a shining knight's armor. There was still sweat on his forehead, and his face was flushed from strenuous exercise. Next to him were several officers who looked like officers in military uniforms, their faces also covered in sweat. Apparently they had been practicing martial arts together just now.
The attendant had already bowed and opened the carriage door, and then a snow-white calf stepped out of the door. Then a proud figure appeared from behind the door. This woman had curly hair and wore a dress that completely highlighted her arrogance. The tight-fitting dress with a human figure, especially the hem of the skirt seems to be much shorter than ordinary dresses, half exposing her slender and round thighs!
She stepped off the carriage and walked towards the crown prince with a faint smile. Every step she took, the hem of her skirt moved, and there was a hint of seductive spring light.
"Miss Nidis." The crown prince didn't seem to have much reaction to her charm, and still maintained a friendly smile: "I didn't expect that a distinguished guest like you would come to see me today."
Nidis smiled lightly, but with a gentle look in her eyes, it seemed as if the souls of all the men present were taken away. She pursed her lips and smiled, and then whispered: "Your Highness, I am here this time." Come, I brought you some good gifts. I got some good wine in the southern continent. In addition to handling some business matters, I brought these gifts to visit you.
At this time, another person had walked out of the carriage! This man is tall and tall, with a full beard, a pair of electric eyes, and a simple dress. He is none other than Duck!
However, this time he did not carry the signature longbow behind him.
Nidis smiled slightly: "Your Highness, I also brought you a distinguished guest... This is my good friend, Mr. Duck! I know that Your Highness is obsessed with martial arts, and this Mr. Duck is an expert in archery. Where’s the master?”
