"Is it only a day away?"
Outside the Death Canyon, Arthur led an army of 20,000 people, and immediately saw Viscount Garcia and his party fleeing in a panic.
"Garcia Wellington!"
He was riding on a tall horse, looking down at Garcia, who was still wearing a nightgown, who was in a state of embarrassment: "You have insulted the name of the Wellington family! Because of you... what my army is about to face is a fully guarded, steep canyon and fortress ! Do you know how much loss this will cause us?"
Arthur gritted his teeth.
After the Wellington family established the principality, the next step was naturally to dominate the continent.
Before arranging Garcia to enter the Fengying Plain to develop, it was the idea of attacking Eagle Fort from both sides. Otherwise, the Wellington family would not have taken action immediately when the Windying Plain was in chaos last time.
But now, Garcia has lost all his previous accumulation.
"I am willing to accept the family's sanctions!"
Garcia's face was still black and gray, and he replied with a dejected expression.
This failure seemed to have taken away all his spirit and broken his spine.
"Take them down!"
Arthur waved his hand, and the knights behind him rushed out and took Viscount Garcia and his party down.
He galloped his horse and came to the Death Canyon, staring at the faintly visible blue dragon flag, and murmured: "Is this destiny? The blue diamond crown?"
…
"The coalition army of the red lion, an army of more than 20,000 people?"
In Eagle Fort, Wu Ming also overlooked the plain below the mountain, the red ocean was extremely conspicuous, and his astonishing eyesight and perception allowed him to determine the specific number of people on the other side at once.
"It seems that the nobles on the high ground have completely surrendered under the red lion flag..."
He sighed and said in a deep voice.
"I just got the news from the carrier pigeon that the Wellington family has unified the highlands and intends to establish a principality..."
Emaris came behind Wu Ming, and there seemed to be a strange light flashing in her eyes: "And... there is a very interesting piece of information!"
"explain!"
As the biggest backer of the black market merchants in Fengying Plain, this woman's information sources are definitely quite well-informed, and her network of relationships spreads all over the entire continent. Even Wu Ming doesn't have such power yet.
"The general leading the army this time is Arthur Wellington! He has been designated as the heir of the Wellington family. There are many rumors about him, and there is another gossip..."
Emariss smiled like a little fox, and whispered in Wu Ming's ear, "This Arthur, nicknamed the Lion Cub, is rumored to have received the inheritance of the Lionheart King and the king's handle. Proof—the holy sword in the stone!"
"The successor of the Lionheart King?"
Wu Ming listened, but was a little speechless.
Although these five ancient kings seemed to be prepared for the prophesied catastrophe, they seemed to act on their own, and their respective arrangements and intentions were clearly in conflict.
"I don't know what kind of extraordinary power is the inheritance of the Lionheart King?"
Wu Ming looked inside slightly. After ascending the throne and becoming king, and capturing Eagle Fort and Death Canyon, the entire Fengying Plain could be said to have fallen into his hands, and the blue-blooded nobles began to support him sincerely, sending all kinds of treasures and troops to him. Take it out.
With this support, the progress of his power of all peoples is almost rapid, the gold liquid in the heart of the king has been stored for more than half, the optical network in the body has become thicker, and it is running at a high speed all the time.
The golden glory continuously merged into his body, improving his physical strength and magic power, breaking through the limit.
Up to now, even he is not sure what kind of destructive power he can cause if he does his best.
"Since you're here, let's see each other well!"
He suddenly made a decision: "Send an envoy to declare war on the Wellington family, and send a letter of war to Arthur. I will follow the rules of the ancient nobles and fight him on the plain!"
"What?"
Amaris asked in surprise: "Are you going to fight in the field?"
Her small mouth opened slightly, and Shui Lingling's eyes blinked, looking very stunned: "But... as long as we stick to Eagle Castle, they have no choice but to retreat!"
Relying on the favorable terrain, it is indeed not difficult to fight against 20,000 people with 10,000 people.
They are not even afraid of reinforcements from the opponent, as long as there are no internal problems or accidents, they can be dragged until the red lions run out of patience and retreat.
"Such a good opportunity, why let it go?"
Wu Ming smiled slightly: "Do you think I will be satisfied with Fengying Plain? Now is the best opportunity to hit the high ground!"
Emaris lost her voice, thinking of history's evaluation of the King of Conquerors.
That original blue-blooded Thaler was rumored to be a man full of endless greed and desire to conquer.
"Such a good opportunity, he will definitely seize it!"
Wu Ming watched his envoy go down with an expression of expectation in his eyes.
…
"What? The opponent wants a decisive battle?"
Arthur looked at the envoy in front of him, and suddenly a bright smile appeared on his face: "Very well, William is indeed a warrior, and I swear on the honor of the Wellington family that the war between us will follow the most basic noble rules! "
The so-called most basic noble rules are also some ancient rituals on the battlefield.
For example, no sneak attack is allowed until both sides are fully prepared.
When the opponent retreats, especially when the lord flees, the knights on his side cannot pursue and so on.
In fact, it is a group of nobles who want to treat war as a game and avoid the restriction of mutual consumption.
But for Arthur, would he really care about this
Watching the envoy leave, he began to seriously consider the possibility of a sneak attack.
It will take a certain amount of time for William's army to reach the plain from Eagle Fort, and at this time, they can sneak attack and cause chaos.
It's just that he weighed the success rate, but in the end he had no choice but to give up.
Even if William could be defeated once, or even killed and captured thousands of people, as long as the opponent still has a few thousand people in Eagle Fort, it would still be useless.
If one really wanted to obtain Eagle Fort, other than a strong attack, he could only severely defeat William's army in front of the defenders inside, and then use this power to oppress the surrender.
"William the Conqueror?"
Arthur lowered his head, holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand, with a playful smile on his lips.
…
On the plain, two huge army formations approached slowly.
The blue and red seas converged on this grassland, and the galloping horses raised smoke and dust, covering the entire sky tightly.
"Blue blood and red lion..."
Wu Ming was wearing blue diamond-like translucent armor. Looking at this scene, he suddenly smiled: "This reminds me of the last time, the battle between Earl of Blue Mountain and Viscount Garcia."
This blue diamond armor was also donated by a certain baronial family. It is said that it originated from the Thaler era and was personally crafted by the King of Conquerors. It possesses incredible magical power.
Wu Ming tried it, and although he didn't find any extraordinary traces on it, the defense power was far superior to that of ordinary plate armor. While lamenting that these nobles collected a lot of good things, he naturally accepted it honestly.
At this time, he rode his horse to the front of the formation, and immediately saw the heroic young man in the red ocean opposite.
The other party is worthy of the name of the young lion, and its aura is unparalleled. Even though there are a lot of knights beside it, it is just a green leaf, which has become a foil.
Woohoo!
The low bugle sounded, like the laughter of death.
"attack!"
There was a loud shout from the opposite side, and immediately the entire formation was scattered, and many knights and soldiers rushed out in a mess, like a tide flooding in.
"After all, they are still militiamen. They used to be farmers. After a little training, they can barely maintain their formation. It is only a dream to charge neatly!"
Wu Ming also waved his hand: "Fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
More than a dozen wooden cannons roared at once, with that earth-shattering sound, as well as fan-shaped flames and killing, it was as if a dozen monsters opened their bloody mouths at once, and bit down several pieces of the opponent's formation at once.
There was blood flying everywhere, a hellish scene.
"retreat!"
After one blow, the wooden artillery troops immediately abandoned their weapons and retreated quickly.
With the tragic speed of the wooden cannon, such a salvo is already the limit, and it is just a dream to reload on the battlefield.
But in this era, those who can skillfully manipulate wooden cannons are all talents among talents, and Wu Ming is also reluctant to lose them.
After they withdrew, a densely packed army immediately appeared behind them.
Although the number of people is almost double that of the opposite side, the sense of orderly square formation and the discipline of charging against the enemy without much commotion are very surprising.
"Raise the spear!"
Shua!
Accompanied by the roar of the frontline officers, a row of steel spears stood up, shining brightly.
At such a time, Wu Ming naturally wouldn't be stingy, and directly put the elites he had organized on the front line.
"Charge, go forward!"
Crash! Crash!
Several phalanxes of spears advanced quickly, step by step. In front of them was a row of tower shield hands, holding a shield that was as tall as a person. Many spears pierced through the gaps in the shields, like giant hedgehogs.
Whoosh!
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and a rain of arrows was thrown almost at the same time.
Various arrows fell on the shield, making a crisp sound like a rainstorm hitting leaves.
Compared with the special bow and crossbow troops of the blue bloods, the attack on the other side seemed a bit scattered. At the same time, after another round of shelling and crossbows, the whole team suddenly became scattered.
"Kill!"
Accompanied by the screams of killing, the blue and red torrents finally converged.
A lot of roars came, accompanied by screams and roars, almost instantly, the fronts on both sides were criss-crossed, flesh and blood flew, and an unknown number of lives were harvested and left by the god of death.
"There is a huge difference between an organized army and a mass of scattered soldiers!"
Wu Ming looked at the scene where his side had the upper hand, but smiled slightly, as if he had already expected this result.
