His Highness wanted to cry without tears, looking at the barracks in a mess, blood and corpses covered the entire barracks piled up with thick snow, the soldiers who survived the disaster turned over the stiff corpses of their comrades exhaustedly and despondently, hoping to find them again living wounded...
The sky is bright, and the snowflakes are still flying, but they are not as big as goose feathers. The sky is still so dark, but the earth is covered with a white coat, so white that it is so dazzling that people can't help crying after looking at it for a while.
His bloodshot eyes turned to the enemy's camp under the mound, where the bonfire was in full swing, and cheers and triumphal songs expressing victory could be heard from time to time. One night, just one night, on such a night with goose feathers, heavy snow and cold wind, a snowy night where there was no way to sneak attack, and even the enemy and us both would strike a truce, the paranoid Great Swordsman Sandy actually used the trick He climbed up the barracks from the steep slope on the side of the ladder, and led the team of silver guards from the Feisabrun family to beat the Second Highness and the others by surprise, and started killing in the barracks...
Lippi Red walked over, with a sword wound on his head, and a thick bandage on his forehead, as if wearing a hat. This is the mark left by the great swordsman Sandy. If it goes down a little bit, Lippired will not only be in danger of becoming a one-eyed dragon, but also be disfigured.
"Your Majesty, there are casualties..." Lippired said hesitantly.
"Go on, I'm listening..."
"Your Majesty, the longbowmen suffered 189 casualties, of which 128 were killed in battle, and 61 were wounded and lost their combat power. The spearmen suffered the heaviest loss. Three teams of three hundred Two hundred and forty-seven people were killed on the spot, and most of the rest were wounded. Only forty-five were killed by the shield soldiers, and fifty-one were injured. Twenty-two were killed..." Lippi Red looked at a piece of animal skin paper in his hand and read.
His Highness waved his hand impatiently: "How much damage did our knight have?"
"Your Majesty, there are only seven Silver Knights left, and the Morwa Knight was also seriously injured. He is not as lucky as me, and he will have to lie down for at least three months to recover. Master Master Master is fine, and the left shoulder of Reddy from the Norton family Another sword strike..."
His Highness the Second Highness sighed a long sigh: "So we lost almost half of our combat power in one night..."
"Your Majesty, it's not your fault. None of us thought that the enemy would not attack from the gate, but entered the barracks from the steep slope on the side, making the two guarding longbowmen we arranged at the gate useless..."
"I have always been famous for raids. I didn't expect to be attacked by the enemy last night. Now I finally understand the feelings of the enemies who were raided by me. I was too careless. I forgot that we are not dealing with ordinary soldiers. He is a second-level great swordsman. If yesterday's victory hadn't paralyzed me, thinking that everything was under control, I should have understood that when dealing with an enemy like a great swordsman, I shouldn't use common sense. If I could have thought of it earlier, We can even set up traps in the barracks, so that the great swordsman Xiandi who came to sneak attack will suffer a big loss, without causing such heavy casualties..." The Second Highness smiled bleakly.
"Your Majesty, please don't blame yourself. We are the incompetent subordinates who failed to stop the enemy. But Your Majesty, now that we have lost our combat power, I am wondering whether to hand over Reddy from the Norton family to those below. Enemies, let them make peace with us, after all, they came to hunt down that kid, and they have been chasing him for so long..." Lippi Red looked around and saw no one around, and then told the Second Highness suggestion.
His Royal Highness smiled wryly: "Lippilede, I understand your loyalty, and I know that you are thinking about my safety. But what you don't understand is that the enemies below saw my flag flying over this barracks At that time, they changed the target from Reddy to me. It is not that you can make them stop just by handing over Reddy. Another point, as the king of the Kingdom of Antinac, I can let my knights fight for me Sacrifice, but I cannot hand over the subordinates who serve me so that the enemy will stop, this is related to the dignity of a king."
Seeing that Lippi Red still wanted to persuade, the Second Highness waved his hand directly: "I know what you want to say, Grand Duke Norton and I are at odds, right? He has failed my expectations of him many times... But no matter what It is said that he is also the Grand Duke of the Antinac Kingdom and has made outstanding contributions to the kingdom. Even if he and I have disputes and differences, it is because of our different ideas. He is concerned about people's livelihood, while I hope Can unify the territory of the former empire.
You have to respect him, Lippired. Even if Reddy is not my knight, I still have the responsibility to ensure his safety instead of handing Reddy over. For Locke, Reddy was his big disciple, and he practiced the exercises of the Eastern monks with him, which showed that Reddy was someone he valued and was close to. As long as we can get through this hurdle, no matter how great the loss is, I believe Grand Duke Norton will compensate us. So needless to say, let's make preparations first, and the enemies below will attack again when the weather gets better. "
Lippi Red bowed deeply to His Royal Highness, turned away without saying a word.
Just as the Second Highness expected, the sky finally began to clear as noon was approaching, and the snowflakes were no longer flying. The soldiers of the principality under the mound were ready to go, and they lined up with high morale, ready to launch an attack on the barracks on the mound. The great swordsman Sandi stood in front of the battle formation, and beside her were a dozen silver guards of the Fesabrun family holding rafts.
This may be the last battle. The Second Highness commanded the remaining longbowmen to form four teams of seventy or eighty people. He is not sure that these three hundred longbowmen alone can suppress the immortals. The surprise attack of the Great Swordsman. Great Sword Master Munster was standing beside him. When Great Sword Master Sandy came up, he needed to deal with it. His face was very serious. It was not that he had never fought against Great Sword Master Sandy in the surprise attack last night, but He knew in his heart that he could not be the opponent of Sandy Great Swordsman.
Reddy was also standing beside Master Master Munster, with several bandages wrapped around his left shoulder, stained with blood. This is the memorial he left when he faced the Great Swordsman Sandy last night. He finally caught two sword master Sandy's swords, but was stabbed in the shoulder by the third sword. If it weren't for the quick rescue of Master Master Master, he would have been killed by Broken Sword long ago.
Lippi Reid and the other seven Silver Knights formed the final assault team. The Second Highness entrusted Reddy and Master Swordmaster Master Sandy with the task of holding back the Great Swordsman Sandy. It can be said that apart from these eight knights, All the soldiers who are still in the barracks have to deal with one person, the great swordsman Xiandi. And Lippired and his eight knights are going to attack the nearly 2,000 Principality soldiers. This can be called a mission that never returns. A large number will still cause a qualitative change, but I don’t know how much casualties the eight knights of Lippired will cause the enemy before they are drowned by the sea of people...
There was another loud eagle cry in the sky, and when I looked up, I saw the handsome golden eagle that I saw yesterday hovering over the Tugang barracks.
Master Master Master said with emotion: "This eagle is really smart, knowing that we will soon have a battle, and then it will have a lot of corpses to eat..."
His Royal Highness laughed: "Master Swordsman, you are wrong. Vultures and crows are the ones who like to get something for nothing and eat corpses on the battlefield. The golden eagle is noble, so it doesn't bother to eat corpses. Circling here is probably to see the following It's strange that there are so many people, after all, it's hard to be so lively in the Bailu Lake swamp area in winter... "
The battle array gathered under the mound blew the low-pitched horn, and the attack began.
The first attack was over in less than half an hour, and the Great Swordsman Sandi failed to gain any benefits. Although she attacked the mound, she did not expect that the second highness almost gathered all the forces of the entire barracks to deal with her. It is daytime, not last night when she raided in. With the natural cover of night and snow, the second highness was orderly Under the command of the master, Sandy Great Swordsman was very helpless to find that it was useless to rely on himself, so he simply withdrew his troops.
The eight knights including Lippired were sweating all over. With the assistance of dozens of servants, they stopped the principality soldiers from going uphill just now. They don't need to charge yet, they just keep throwing miscellaneous trees and logs under the mound. The soldiers of the principality who were preparing to attack below were smashed into a mess by these things, and they couldn't go up for a long time. Poe and Sandy Great Swordsman formed a left and right flanking cooperation.
After resting for half an hour, the principality soldiers under the mound continued to form and prepare to attack again. Great Swordsman Xiandi no longer went to work alone this time. She seemed to want to rush uphill with the Principality soldiers, so that she could avoid being the target of public criticism. Just as the soldiers of the Principality finished their training and slowly approached the mound, there was a long howl in the distance, and the sound shook the world...
Almost everyone turned their heads to look at a snowy slope on the left. At some point, a figure appeared on it. There were two thin wooden board-like objects under their feet. Curved stick. I saw this figure poke into the snow with two sticks, and the whole person flew down from the snow slope. This is indeed Xiangfei. The Second Highness has never seen someone who can reach the downhill from the slope with such a fast speed close to the snow, leaving only two shallow traces on the snow...
Generally speaking, to go down a snow-covered slope, you need to walk slowly step by step, or roll down the slope lying down, and you need not to hit the stones on the slope. But the figure almost blinked a few times from the top to the bottom of the slope, reached the bottom of the slope with a very chic and fast movement, then slightly changed direction, and relaxed towards the mound...
Reddy was so excited that his whole body was trembling: "Your Majesty, it's okay, we're okay, His Highness is here..."
His Highness's eyes widened in disbelief: "You said, this person is Locke? The Grand Duke of the Northland?"
"Yes, it's my teacher, Lorist, Grand Duke of the Northland. Your Majesty, you can rest assured that we will have nothing to do with you from now on." Reddy shouted excitedly.
"Nonsense, even if it's your teacher, the Grand Duke of the Northland would not be able to deal with the nearly 2,000 Principality soldiers below, let alone the great swordsman Shandi, I'm afraid that the Grand Duke Norton will let him You are in a difficult situation. You should call him up to join us and deal with the enemy together." Lippired rolled his eyes and said to Reddy.
Like the Second Highness, he had never seen Lorist make a move, and all the rumors about Lorist were regarded by them as the Norton family's flattery for Lorist. Just like the Second Highness used to think that the rumors of Lorist charging into the battle were all to gather popularity for the new Norton Patriarch, the real situation... Hehe, the Second Highness would never believe that a nobleman with a grudge at the black iron rank would be brave In terms of what to do.
Reddy glared at Lipi Reid fiercely: "If you don't know my teacher, don't talk nonsense. Your Highness never does anything that is not sure. Since he charged the enemy under the mound, it means that he is not sure at all. In the eyes of these enemies, except for the great sword master Xiandi, the rest of them are no different from chickens and dogs in his eyes... "
No matter what the people on the mound think, Lorist just rushed straight to the battle formation of the principality soldiers lined up under the mound, which first annoyed Bilchek, the great swordsman of the Principality of Handa, although He received a sword from Reddy on his left thigh, but it was only a little inconvenient to move, unlike the great swordsman in the Principality of Sabaji, whose right rib was severely injured by the great swordsman of Munster, and he lay down as soon as he returned to the camp. Although not life-threatening, but at least two or three months to lie down.
The great swordsman Bilchek dragged his injured leg, staggered to the front where Lorist was sprinting, drew his sword and shouted: "Stop, show your identity and purpose! Stand aside and wait for orders! "
"Stupid..." Lorist didn't slow down, but handed the bent stick in his right hand to his left, and then pulled out his long sword from behind.
There is no need to say anything, this is clearly an enemy and not a friend. The great swordsman Bilchek shouted angrily, moved his injured left leg to the back, stepped forward with his right foot, the long sword in his hand turned into a bolt of lightning, and slashed obliquely towards Lorist's charge...
"Zheng!" There was a loud sound of two swords colliding, Lorist's long sword was not smashed to the top like Bilchek's great swordsman, he just turned his wrist, and the long sword swung sideways , people passed by the side of the great swordsman Bilchek.
The posture of the Great Swordsman Bilchek was so weird and stiff. It was not until a gust of cold wind blew by that people noticed that the figure of the Great Swordsman Bilchek swayed a few times, and then his head suddenly fell off. Rolling in the snow, the headless body quickly fell to the ground, and the blood gushing from the neck stained a large area of snow red...
With one strike, the great swordsman Bilchek bestowed the head, almost everyone turned pale in an uproar, and even the entire formation of soldiers of the Principality involuntarily took several steps back. Who is he, even more powerful than Sandy Great Sword Master? One must know that Great Sword Master Sandy would have to go through three or four moves to take down Great Sword Master Bilchek.
Lorist drew a big circle and stopped in front of Great Swordsman Sandy as if there was no one else around. The distance between the two was less than ten steps. He casually threw the two bent sticks in his hands on the snow, took off the skis on his feet, and tore off the scarf covering his face with one hand, and slightly pointed at the vigilant Great Swordsman Sandy. With a smile: "I'm so glad to see you here, my Great Sword Master Xiandi..."
The great swordsman Xiandi saw Lorist's face clearly but was shocked: "Why are you, Lorist, why did you rush here? Don't forget, you, you are the Grand Duke of the Northland... "
Lorist raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with the Grand Duke of the Northland? Can't you come here? You see, our King has come here, so I, the Duke, will naturally come to escort me. Besides, I heard that Sandy Great Swordsman has taken great care of my poor apprentice Reddy. So I came here to express my gratitude to Great Swordsman Sandy... "
"Hehe, is that so? You are so polite." The great swordsman Sandy smirked twice, then changed his face, and pulled out his long sword: "There is no need to talk nonsense, boy of the Norton family, today you Now that you're here, don't even think about going back in one piece! Look at the sword!"
Great Sword Master Xiandi united his body and sword into one, and rushed straight towards Lorist.
