The Amber Sword

Chapter 813: The opening of the war (3)

Views:

Cagliice suppressed the tension in his heart and told everything he saw one by one. After the defeat of the Viero's left wing, Count Jacques placed the defensive position in a forest, hoping to limit the Madara Skeleton Cavalry by relying on the advantage of the terrain. And the play of the fearful spirit. After losing the left wing, the width of the Vieiro’s line of defense became extremely narrow, and it was surrounded by the undead army on three sides. Madara sent skeleton swordsmen to attack, and the Vieiro’s elite crossbowmen attacked the bone frame. The strength was almost nothing, only the crossbow bolts sanctified by the priest of the Temple of Flame produced the desired effect, but the number was too small, and it could be said that it had no effect on the battle situation. The strength of the skeleton swordsman is slightly inferior to the human soldiers, and the victory lies in the large number. The elite crossbowmen of Vieiro can't play a role. The remaining more than a thousand knights and the heavy infantry are in a bitter battle.

Like all human armies that fought against the undead, the resistance of the Vieiro was very tenacious. The dark nobles of Madara were familiar with this. Their response method was also very simple. They exchanged casualties with the Vieiro at all costs. Brando knew that Earl Jacques was so fierce, and the skeletons had arrow resistance. The Vieiro did not bring enough priests to join the army. They were simply seeking their own way of death. On the other hand, Madara has rich experience and the undead army is tireless. Without the impact of injury and death, human beings could not accept the despair of comrades-in-arms falling by their side. Sure enough, the Vieros quickly fell into chaos.

"So the Vieiro people are almost finished?" Brando asked.

"It's almost finished, Lord Lord, but now it still involves Madara's infantry. The elite heavy crossbowmen of the Vieiro are not a big threat to the skeletons, but they are a big threat to the fearful spirits. The blood rod is here. Two fearful spirits were broken in the battle. It is estimated that they are vowing to take down the elite force of the Vieiro people. Besides, the current exchange ratio is very beneficial to them, and there is no reason to let go of this opportunity."

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"Saw it with my own eyes, Lord Lord."

"So what do you think of both parties?" Brando asked, sitting on horseback, pointedly.

"The Viero people's rebel knights are a joke. In my opinion, they shouldn't have come at all. Those knight masters have mistreated Earl Jacques. Without them, the Viero people would not have lost so badly now. "

"Grand Duke Vieiro can't stop them from coming." Brando smiled, sarcastically.

Others around him couldn't help but frown, especially those from a noble family like Caglisi. It is only natural for the retainers to be loyal to the lord. Eruin and Cruz have maintained this tradition for hundreds of years. , It seems to be taken for granted, it's not a big deal, but how come it seems to have suddenly become a big abuse. Only Brando knew in his heart that winning or losing in the battles of the lords in the past did not really matter. It was nothing more than the loss of some money. It was a noble war; but from this era, the war to annex the country and territory started, and the war was won. From this moment on, it is related to life and death, and the low-efficiency army composition method has begun to become a fatal weakness.

"What about the rest?"

"It's okay. Tomober's noble knights and heavy infantry have the strength of the Ampersel Port Guard and the Southern Army, but the number is too small. If the elite crossbowmen can play their due role, they can still fight, now... "Kaglisi sighed. Tomober is the real name of Count Jacques. Cagliice is always cynical, so he lacks due courtesy to the noble lords except Brando and the princess. He calls him by name instead of giving him a nickname. He already respects the courage of Lord Earl, and what he said that being able to fight a battle is only to be able to confront the army of four thousand skeletons.

"Where is Lantonilan?"

"Ike was stopped by Madara's skeleton cavalry. Right across from us, they had always wanted to support Tomobo in the past, but the gang of bones didn't give him this opportunity. But the Lantonilans are really powerful and they didn't let them take over. It's a little cheaper. I saw Eco and his knights circle around with the skeleton cavalry, probably waiting for us to arrive on the battlefield."

Brando smiled. It must be Yola, the fiancée of Ike, who is commanding this army. The blind Nine Phoenix girl has the talents of heaven and is a real man of heaven. If it weren't for her and Ai in history Ke died too early, and later Eruin's history may be different. At that time, there were several strong men in the South. In addition to Eco and Yura, there was also Ke Wen in front of him. If these three people could join forces, plus the Highland Knights, Madara's aggression might not be so smooth. At that time, the blood rod After being ambushed in Tosangkad Forest, Yura also played an important role in it.

"Talk about Madara." He deliberately raised his voice a bit, and as expected, everyone else pricked their ears. Except for Brando, most people here are concerned about the lord's adversary who has always valued the extraordinary. 'Very curious. In what they heard, those bones were not worth mentioning. Except for Brando and Freya, even the mercenaries who escaped from Buche didn’t think that Madara would be Eruin’s enemy. People are more or less affected by this kind of thought, but what they see today seems to let them see the other side of the Bromantra rose.

Yuta was fully armed and sat on the saddle. The head of the mercenary was very unaccustomed to the heavy armor on her body, but she couldn't put it down. This beautiful armor with embossed embossed body now proves the identity of the nobleman and knight commander of her kingdom. This is the position she has always wanted. If she had had this status, maybe she could protect her sister by then, she sighed secretly. When he heard Brando's words, Uta curled his lips again, turned his head and said to Fern who was on the side: "Lord Lord is here again."

The knight commander, who was born in the Karasu cavalry, glanced at her, a little cold, and did not answer.

"Those bone frames are really so powerful?"

"Greater than you think, but not as outrageous as Lord Lord said." Fern replied.

"I think it is, Lord Lord probably was terrified by them in Buche, haha, although our Lord Lord is a bit incredible, he is young and handsome, but he is only a child after all." Yuta smiled.

Fern glanced at her, saying that is too disrespectful. The blood rod bears blood and blood for every Karasu, and he is no exception. Lord Lord kept his promise of the day and brought him here. He could only be grateful. Thinking of the opportunity to kill the blood rod with his own hands, this mercenary head of the Karasu cavalry only felt that his blood was going to boil. Of course, maybe he agrees with Yuta's words in his heart, but he would never describe Lord Lord that way.

At this moment, in front of Brando, Kaglisi was silent for a moment: "If I can, I really don't want to be their enemy. To deal with them, I have to kill them completely. I feel tired thinking about it."

"That's it?"

"It's still a bit strong."

"powerful?"

"There was a skeleton swordsman who defeated Tomober. Their costumes were something I had never seen before—their strength was far superior to ordinary platoon skeletons, but strangely, we had never had this kind of skeleton sword before. The rumors of soldiers. I suspect that in addition to the fear of the spirit and the skeleton cavalry, Madara has many high-ranking organizations that we have not heard of, and they have never appeared in the past wars." Kag Liss replied deliberately.

"Describe it?"

"That skeleton swordsman is a little different from ordinary bone racks. They use two-handed swords with a wide palm."

"Two-handed swordsman."

"Yes, two-handed swordsman." Kaglisi nodded: "It's different from the general skeleton armor. They wear black half-length armor, but don't wear a helmet. They seem to wear iron foot guards."

"Is there a relief of a spider on the breastplate of the bust armor?"

Cagliari looked up at Brando in surprise: "Lord, have you seen them?"

Brando smiled, and really came, Spider Swordsman. He looked at Cagliese, and continued to ask, "What then?"

"They are very powerful," Cagliari was a little surprised. He knew his mission before going to Silman, so in addition to Brando teaching him the knowledge about Madara, he also specifically asked Ann. Titina had borrowed information about that dark country, but there was no book about that kind of peculiar two-handed swordsman. He felt that his lord was a bit unusual, so he answered cautiously: " Ordinary knights are not their opponents, they at least have the strength of a Tier 3 army."

"Tier 3, an organizational army?" Fern couldn't help but opened his mouth finally: "This is impossible!"

There are indeed many high-level undeads in Madara. Among them, bone dragons are creatures up to the ninth level. There were three skull dragons in the army of Instasaurus, but they are like generals in the army of Eruin. Once it appears on the battlefield, it is often a conspicuous target. Eluin also has masters with elements of civilization. Therefore, when these high-level creatures appear on the battlefield, it is often unlikely to cause much damage to the general army.

In Warnd’s military theory, only high-level organisms that have formed a system can be called a high-level army.

But Madara, like Eruin, lacks a high-level army. Its basic army is skeletons and zombies. It is even inferior to human soldiers. The more advanced ones are the black knights and ghosts (the pale rider is also a ghost. Species), but the number is too small. If it weren’t for the unique attributes of the undead, Madara had always been inferior to the small country Eruin in terms of military strength. Therefore, in the past thousand years, the two sides could still communicate with each other, and even once the kingdom occupied it. The upper hand.

That's why Cagliice's words made Fern, who has dealt with the bones the most, feel unbelievable.

"But since Madara has these troops, why did they keep hiding before? If they want to hit us by surprise, then it doesn't seem to be the time now either." Youta couldn't help but question.

Brando shook his head. This is the general psychology of the Eruin people in this era, and even the people around him have not realized what happened to the land to the east. But only he understood that Caglisi did not lie. Madara never hid its army, and it didn’t have to hide anything from a weak country like Eruin now. It’s just a spider swordsman. It is true that they have never appeared in the war with Eruin before, because they have just joined the battle sequence of Madara.

Dread spirits, skeleton cavalry, plus the current spider swordsman, today's Madara, although there is no tamar in history, but still has these brand-new arms, one's gains and losses cannot change history, Ma Dara's huge territories in four directions and the power generated afterwards are too terrifying, and there will be more in the future, and now it is just the beginning. Brando smiled. If he told these people, the Spider Swordsman would become Madara's basic infantry in the future. I don't know what these people would think

After the Third Black Rose War, Madara did not even bother to recreate the skeleton warriors, and was purely a waste of soul energy. From that time on, Madara's lowest-ranked arms were the revenge spiders that had evolved into Tier 4 arms at that time. Swordsman.

"So you all heard it," Brando said: "The opponent you will face before us may be an undead army with a Tier 3 army and a Tier 4 air force. This is a very different one. An army of Cruz people, Lion people, and even demons, you will soon see the style of this army."

The young people of the White Lion Guard heard what their lord said, and they fell silent. Brando glanced at everyone on the border of the forest and waved his hands gently.

"But these are not important."

He suddenly smiled, showing Bai Sensen's teeth.

"The important thing is that today we will crush them here and tell the world that today's enemies of Madara will be full of ancient glory and return to the kingdom of this world from the scroll of history."

"It's a white lion, a golden sword, a vow of protection, and an ancient belief."

"Yes," Lord Earl was riding on horseback, and he paused, as if to exhale the last breath in his chest: "Our motherland, Eruin—"

The voice is not high-pitched, as if floating in the rain, but it makes everyone's chest surge, as if to give birth to infinite courage, so that everyone seems to be unable to hold back and walk with the sword. Brando raised his hand, and above the river valley and the forest border, the flag bearers raised their flags. The flag of Saint White floated with the wind, and one side emerged in the mist, hunting and hunting, with the crescent moon of the kingdom on it. The mountains of pine, the pine needles of the fallen leaves, and the snow and ice in the north, seem to carry the history of a kingdom, which is now on this land again.

Above is the emblem of the White Lion.

The trumpeter put the trombone to his lips, puffed his cheeks, and blew it vigorously.

The trumpet sounded melodiously, as if opening up a mist—

"Who is in front of us?" Brando asked suddenly.

"It is the two regiments from the Sea of Dead Moon. I have already figured it out. The commanders are'Death Whisper' Murgkin and Sir Viskag the Silent. The army composition is basically Spider Swordsman, with a few skeletons. The cavalry should be the elite of the blood stick."

"It has nothing to do with the blood rod, it's the Imperial Selection Team." Brando smiled.

"Emperor Selection Group?"

"It's nothing, let's run over them first, as a greeting to the blood stick."

The melodious trombone rang throughout the valley, and the Lantonian people first reacted. As soon as he heard the thick and heavy dragon horn trombone, Eco's eyes lit up. He tightened the reins and galloped. Turning on the horse, turning around and shouting: "Listen now, from which direction did the horn come from?" The Lantonilan knights turned their heads, and after a while someone replied loudly: "It's the West, the West !"

"Haha, the Tonigelians are here!" Ike drew out his sword, turned his horse's head, and shouted: "The Lord Earl is greeting the blood rod. We Lantonilan people can't make them underestimate, come on. , Let's blow our trumpets too! We are going to turn around. We should give those half-toned bone cavalry a good look!"

After being chased by a group of opponents who were much worse than themselves, the knights had already been suffocated to death. At this moment, they couldn't help cheering loudly, and for a time the mountains in the valley screamed.

The whining trumpets echoed each other, spreading through the valley along the gentle breeze and drizzle.

The blood-stained Earl Jacques raised his head and listened carefully to the trumpet, "The Tonigelians are here, and they and the Lantonilans are telling us..." This resolute soldier couldn't help but shed at this moment. Tears came, and the two lines of blood washed down from the blood stains, and sighed in a long voice: "But what use are they here, it's useless, I can't hold them back, I can't hold them back, go back, let us There is no way to save! At least don’t die here, go and tell your Royal Highness, tell Lord Duke that Madara is not the Madara anymore! The trumpeter, tell them, retreat, retreat quickly, and the undead haven’t watched yet. On them—"

The trumpeter stood beside his lord in a daze, everyone couldn't help looking at each other.

Do you want to blow the trumpet

If they sounded the trumpet, they would be dead, and no one would come to rescue them. But what if you blow the trumpet? As Master Earl said, what's the use? The undead army in front of them is no longer what it used to be, and even the Lantonilans can't break through their defenses. What are the Tonigelians? That place is just a remote country. Perhaps the current lord is the future power minister of the kingdom, and may even become the only swordsman in the new generation of Eruin for decades, but what about

No one can control the situation of the battle.

But they had to wait to die. The nobles could not do it. They told them rationally that they should sound the trumpet, but emotionally, these timid kingdom nobles could not accept the end of being abandoned by the friendly army. They couldn't help but look at the trumpeter, dead. Shook his head.

"Everyone," Count Jacques, of course, noticed the little actions of his colleagues-until this time, they still couldn't let go of their careful thoughts? He couldn't help sighing in his heart, and said weakly, "You have children and heirs, do you want them to face today's situation like us, die in despair and sorrow? You are soldiers, and the word responsibility may be for you It may be too far away, but protecting wives and daughters is a human instinct. I can only say that, do you still want to stop it?"

Count Zlin, who was shaking his head lifelessly, froze there.

Heirs and descendants, that is the hope that nobles inherit. Even if they are indifferent as iron, they cannot help but shake at this moment—

Under the same sky, the blood rod was watching the gloomy sky silently, as if he could see the sound of the trombone echoing in the sky. After a long while, it lowered its head and asked in a low voice: "Where is this? Army?"

"Those human wounded soldiers who didn't die said they seemed to come from Tonigel."

"Tonygel?" The blood rod was startled slightly: "Where is that?"

"I'm very sorry, my subordinates have never heard of it, my lord."
