And if it hadn't been for Roland's help in the afternoon to use the blessing of the golden tree to suppress the dragon-transformation backlash caused by using Dragon Feast Prayer, White would not mention it, Fa Zhuang would definitely have been harmed by the backlash during this raid.
"Arthur, hurry up and lead the Grek knights to rescue them. Farrugia, Pang, you also join this rescue team." Roland stood on the earthen wall of only a few meters and looked at France in the distance. The troops of the Holy Empire were frantically using their lives to delay the breakout of White's team.
He even saw the Holy Empire of France changing its military formation as a whole, trying to swallow the sharp knife that was inserted into its own position.
After sensing the plans of the Holy Empire of France, Roland felt that the situation was somewhat critical. He immediately called Arthur who was waiting, and asked the two Greco knights, Farrugia and Pang, who were initially summoned, to join in.
Roland looked at Arthur, his brain running wildly with the information he had just received from the golden the reconnaissance captain of this battle, Marigite is well aware of the distribution and strength of the frontline troops.
He continued to speak quickly to convey what he wanted to express to Arthur: "The enemy's mage troops will use curse spells such as forbidden magic field and slowness. Once the mage troops have time to cast spells on you, they will not be able to retreat at all. . However, the number of mages accompanying them is not large, only about 40."
"I will control the golem guards so that the mages cannot devote their energy to casting curse spells. I will let the golem guards use big arrows to point out to you the positions of White and others and the enemy mage troops. You can take this opportunity to directly Charge in and help White and the others tear a gap in the enemy's encirclement, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!" Arthur nodded heavily. After receiving Roland's instructions, he immediately set out to call for Farrugia and Pang who were beside Roland to follow him.
The wooden city gate of the ancient city opened, and a cavalry team composed of a homeless knight and seven Grek knights galloped towards the front line of the turmoil in the Holy Empire of France.
Arthur rode steadily on his horse, repeating Roland's orders to the Knight Commanders behind him.
At the same time, he was also thinking that the most dangerous force to his side was the enemy mage force pointed out by Lord range of the dragon flames of his Dragon Feast Prayer is a bit difficult to cover a phalanx with about 40 people standing relatively scattered, but if it just wants to open a hole, there is no problem at all.
Thinking of this, he faced the strong wind and began to tell the Grek knights who were following closely behind him on their war horses: "When we follow the guidance of the golem guards to find the mage troops, I will use the dragon feast to pray and burn." Clear a path. Please be careful not to rush into my prayer range when charging."
"Yes." The knight commanders, including Farrugia, had no objections and nodded in unison.
Then the team fell into silence, and everyone was adjusting their state to cope with the fierce battle that followed.
And Roland was not idle. With the help of the golden tree, he worked hard to control the two golem guards with his mind.
Some of the large arrows that Roland had just made were dyed golden with a lot of blessings, and placed on the huge soles of the golem guards. These are the arrows that will be used by Arthur and others later.
Roland closed his eyes and immersed himself wholeheartedly in the golem looked around with a serious face and sharp eyes, especially in the direction of the retreating Pegasus knights in the golden shield and the knight's sword are tightly held in her hands, ready to use thunder to defeat enemies who dare to attack.
(PS: In the game, the Gray Knight uses a golden shield, and the Rodel Knight uses a golden shield. The two are not the same shield, and the latter has a higher defense strength than the former.)
When Roland changed his perspective to that of the Golem Guard, he could understand why the Golem Guard had such an exaggerated his angle of view became higher, he could freely adjust the distant scene he received. The originally blurry French Holy Empire army formation was now clearly visible to Roland and he could clearly see the clothes of the opposing soldiers.
The cavalry team led by White and Fazhuang were naturally discovered by Roland. In order to prevent themselves from being surrounded by the troops of the Holy Empire of France, they had been attacking weak positions in the encirclement and constantly encircling the Holy Empire of France. A game with breakouts.
Fortunately, the war horses under their crotches are not ordinary war horses, and their physical strength is still sufficient until , he would have exhausted all his strength under the siege of Lucius regardless of the cost, and would have knocked his sad knight to the ground.
Roland's eyes flickered slightly, and he saw a group of people wearing combat robes gathering to fire interception spells to stop a large arrow that was originally flying to the back of the team to support White and others.
He adjusted his perspective and saw that Arthur and the others were attacking very fast. They were still about 1000 meters away and were approaching the frontline troops of the Holy Empire of France.
Roland controlled the golem guards to actively replace the big arrows filled with golden blessings and shining with dazzling golden light. The two golem guards shot their own arrows at the same time.
The huge golden arrow was very conspicuous in the air. Arthur and the others saw an arrow with golden light falling directly into the military formation they were heading were many mages who had no time to escape. Their weak bodies and fragile lives were shattered by the impact of the big arrows.
"Huh?" Roland made a confused voice, why don't these mages intercept spells?
The person who had the same question as Roland was naturally Captain Talus, who was mobilizing soldiers to encircle and suppress the cavalry in the ancient city. He noticed a huge noise coming from behind, and his expression changed and he immediately turned around.
The mages who had not lost their lives and mobility under the blow of the golden arrows tore apart the protective scrolls they carried, and pale white eggshells appeared on them. At the same time, they greased their feet and chose to leave the place they should hold on to. position.
"What are you doing!! Where is the Supervisory Team!!" Talus's face was so angry that he roared at the fleeing mages.
A relatively high-status mage who accompanied the army scolded him: "My magic power has been drained! Why don't you run away and stay there to die! Do you really think it's easy to intercept those huge arrows? Unless today It was His Majesty the God Emperor who personally gave the order that made me stay there and wait to die!”
As he spoke, the second wave of golden arrows arrived as promised, but this time it failed to effectively kill the mages who had begun to flee.
Yes, the mages who were intercepting the big arrows when White and the others started charging had almost exhausted their magic power at this time.
The reason why it is not completely consumed is because the magic power in the mage's body is closely related to life. Once the magic power is exhausted, the mages will suffer from a severe headache and be unable to move normally, or in the worst case, the brain will be directly damaged and they will faint on the spot.
In fact, several mages had already passed out due to exhaustion of magic power. These military mages had not waited for other support orders from Talus before giving up their duties at the instigation of a noble mage.
Talus looked at the direction where the golden arrow was coming. He knew that this cavalry could not be stopped. The face under the helmet showed a look of bitterness and unwillingness.
It's just a little bit close, just a little bit close to completing the gritted his teeth. He had already sacrificed the lives of so many soldiers. He wanted to compete with the golden arrows of the golem guards for time, and chose to continue to execute the order he had just given.
And it was the commander-in-chief Enlucius who made the same judgment as him. Soldiers were constantly rushing away from him or waving flags and blowing horns.
White and others, who were the most important in the fighting area, could obviously feel that the soldiers on the opposite side were changing formations faster, which put more pressure on themselves.
But at the same time, the speed at which the Holy Empire of France changed its formation also caused flaws in the originally meticulous military and Fazhuang once again broke out into a storm and led the knights of Grayk to fight out of the fleeting opening.
Talus immediately ordered three shield troops to come forward to force them back into the military formation, but how could Roland, who saw all this through the vision of the golem guard, do what he wanted.
As early as when White and the others rushed into the gap in the military formation, although he could not figure out why the opponent's mage troops began to flee, Roland chose to seize this opportunity and controlled the golem guards to shoot at the soldiers who were far away from the exit of White and the others.
Sure enough, the big golden arrow shot this time was not intercepted by any magic, and it hit the group of shield soldiers quickly and White immediately seized this opportunity, clamped his legs, and accelerated the horse under his crotch. Before Talus mobilized other soldiers to block the gap, he led the Gray Knight Commanders to successfully charge out.
Just at this time, the support team led by Arthur arrived in time. Some mages who had no time to escape and blocked the charge and were covered with eggshell-like shields were directly slapped and knocked away by them with weapons or war horses, and they fell to the ground with their fate unknown.
The moment Arthur saw White and the others rushing out, he held up the Dragon Feast Mark in his hand, made a wild gesture of spreading out with his other hand, and shouted loudly: "Spread to both sides, spread to both sides quickly!!!"
White and Fazhuang, who were both homeless knights, naturally understood what their comrade wanted to do. The two of them dispersed in a tacit understanding, one on the left and the other on the right. The knight captains of Grayk behind them who had experienced hundreds of battles also quickly reacted according to the previous destruction. The groups of trebuchets galloped to both sides.
"Ang————!" The high-pitched dragon roar and its scorching breath appeared for the third time among the troops of the Holy Empire of France. Wherever the flames passed, there was no grass, and a red channel was burned on the ground.
Because under the order of Talus, many soldiers of the Pioneer Corps were chasing White and his a result, when the last Knight Commander Grek rode his horse to both sides, these poor soldiers faced the dragon feast prayer released by Arthur and disappeared into the world without even feeling the pain.
"Let's go!" Arthur shouted again after releasing Dragon Feast and praying.
White and his team became the leader of the team, and the Gray Knight brought by Arthur was in the team. Arthur, who was full of physical strength and magic power, deliberately fell behind them all and became the tail of the team.
He unleashed the magic power in his body unscrupulously, using a large number of storm combat skills to cover the retreat of his comrades, and Roland also controlled the golem guard to shoot the last arrow.
Soon, none of the knights under Roland's command died, and they successfully withdrew the troops of the Holy Empire of looked at the cavalry team that rolled up the dust and sighed deeply.
Commander-in-Chief Enlucius also sighed, just as the Pegasus knights who had fled from Dogu City in embarrassment Pegasus knight who temporarily took over Marigit's captaincy held back the tears in his eyes and reported to Enlusius what they encountered in Dogu City.
Enlucius listened silently on the spot, especially when he heard the news that Captain Marigit was killed in battle, there were a few more wrinkles on his forehead.
After listening to the report of the Pegasus knights, he looked sad. He turned to the messenger beside him and said: "The whole army retreats to repair and wait for the next instructions from the empire."
The messenger nodded, puffed up his cheeks and blew the horn in his piercing sound of the horn floated over the battlefield, and more and more messengers who heard the sound of the horn joined in the failed performance at the same time.
"Captain Goethe, Captain Goethe?"
Captain Goethe of the Holy Armor was placed on the grass by his own soldiers. He coughed up some blood again amidst a burst of shouting and opened his eyes.
"Great, Captain Goethe, you're still alive." The medical soldier breathed a sigh of relief. He unscrewed the cork of a small bottle of green healing potion in his hand, helped support Goethe's head with one hand, and raised the healing potion to his head with one hand. Send it to your mouth.
After drinking this small bottle of healing potion, Goethe's eyes gradually became suddenly grabbed the magic sword in his hand and stood up. He asked the medic with a ferocious look: "Where is the enemy!? Where is it?"
The medical soldier first showed a bitter smile, and then hurriedly persuaded: "The enemy has returned to the city. Captain Goethe, I haven't finished treating the wounds on your body, please do not engage in strenuous exercise."
Only then did Goethe notice that the soldiers around him were walking back with sad faces, and not far in front of him were the bodies of his team members.
A total of 37 Holy Armor soldiers lay there forever, with peaceful expressions on their arranged remains, and the white-gold armor on their bodies now became their tombs.
"Ahhhh!" Captain Goethe burst out roaring with anger and sadness. The magic sword in his hand kept slashing at the remains of the trebuchet beside him, bringing up a lot of sawdust.
His actions made the medics on the side worried about being injured and wanted to stop him.
Then the man let out a whimpering sound, knelt down on his knees in the direction of the remains of the 37 Holy Armor soldiers, and knocked his head heavily on the ground.
The Holy Empire of France lost the first battle against the ancient city of Dou.
The captain of the Pegasus Knights, Viscount Marigit Gloria, was killed. 37 Pegasus Knights of the Pegasus Wing were killed, and the organization was disbanded.
The captain of the first siege team, Baron Biltram Johann, was killed, 541 soldiers of the first siege team were killed, and 5 trebuchets were destroyed.
The Pioneer Corps was disbanded along with the military mage unit, and 831 infantrymen were killed.
Except for captain Goethe, all members of the fourth formation of the [-]th Brigade of the Holy Empire of France were killed.
Chapter 50: Summary after the war
It was night, and the garden of the City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit, with people drinking wine and drinking wine.
The scent of flowers in the past was replaced by the aroma of wine and meat, floating in the noisy sky of the city lord's palace. Eight winged hybrids sat crookedly at the table piled with meat and soup cans, enjoying the delicacies after the victory in the battle. .
The door of the city lord's hall was also open, and the tables inside were placed close to the winged hybrids. These were the seats belonging to the 22 brave Gorek knights.
Compared with the hand-shredded cards of the winged hybrids, which are not at all elegant, the Grek knights who have received a good aristocratic education hold knives and forks and slowly enjoy the meat grilled with spices and butter.
Although these knights were still wearing armor, they looked much more relaxed after taking off their 's just that the Gray Knight, who was closer to the winged hybrids, looked a little weird, and for a while he couldn't adapt to eating with these lowly hybrids.
Since the great golden tree has generously given these humble winged hybrids the status of golden subjects, naturally, as a loyal believer, I cannot show the same attitude towards them as before.
Ah, Lord Roland is so kind. We were able to have a banquet with Lord Golden Will.
Thinking of this, the older knight Grek looked gratefully at Roland, who was vaguely visible in the city lord's hall. He raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it in one gulp.
Roland remembered that in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" he had read before time travel, many victorious armies were drunk due to celebration banquets, which led to the generals who could command being drunk and unconscious. They were attacked by their opponents at night and gave away their advantages during the day.
Of course, there are those generals who like to drink heavily and criticize Chunyu Qiong and Zhang Fei by name.
The former was entrusted with the important task of guarding Yuan Shao's granary Wuchao during the Battle of Guandu, but he became the end, when Cao Jun came to the granary under the tip of Xu You, a villain, Chun Yuqiong was drunk and couldn't sleep, causing a fire in Wuchao, which seriously affected Yuan Shao's arrangements for the Battle of Guandu.
Of course, in real history, Chunyu Qiong was not as incompetent as in the novel. In the Battle of Wuchao, he died fighting hard after being attacked by Cao's army.
There is no way, Xu You really knows too much about Yuan Shaojun's troop the ancient battlefield, his defection to Cao Cao was equivalent to Cao Cao gaining a limited-time vision Jun even pretended to be Yuan Shaojun with the help of Xu You and surrounded all the baggage kept by Wuchao without anyone noticing.
As for Zhang Fei, everyone knows it, he is a typical character who drunkenly whipped a sergeant and was eventually beheaded by his subordinates.
Therefore, Roland prevented the Holy Empire of France or the Charles Empire from conducting night raids and only allowed each soldier attending the banquet to drink one glass of wine.
Knight Greg had just put down his wine glass, picked up the silver knife and fork, and was about to put a piece of steaming and greasy barbecue into his mouth when something suddenly hit his head. He didn't notice the barbecue on the fork for a moment. Returned to the plate.
He looked up and saw a winged hybrid with a satisfied expression on his face as he stretched himself out, dragging the dragon's tail behind his waist along the chair on the ground, swaying happily from side to rubbed against him was the white wings spread out and trembling slightly on the back of this winged hybrid.
The winged hybrid felt the sight, opened his eyes and looked over. He didn't understand why the Gray Knight was looking at him, so he had to raise his wine glass and shake it at him.
Knight Grek was speechless for a moment, thinking silently in his heart that the golden tree was above, so he couldn't get angry, he couldn't get stopping, he raised the wine glass he had just put down. The winged hybrid let out a hoarse laugh and took the initiative to have a drink with he raised his head and poured all the wine into his stomach.
Putting aside the incident in the garden for the moment, Roland had just finished drinking the wine glass in his hand in the city main what was in the cup was not wine but juice.
He has a drink-and-pour system, so he chooses not to drink.
Ikosela was still standing slightly behind Roland, motionless, in full military uniform.
Because of the fear that the shadow thorns of the Charles Empire might attack at night, sentry torches were placed in various locations in the city lord's palace to illuminate all possible blind spots.
The people of the Golden Dynasty had been deeply hurt by assassins. On the night of the Black Knife Conspiracy, their most beloved god-man eldest son "Golden" Godwin was killed at the hands of the Black Knife Assassin. This was the beginning of the "Broken War" of the Ring of Magic. Expand.
The sentinel torch was invented to prevent something like this from happening.
After these summoned Gray Knights heard that there were assassins who could become invisible in this world, they immediately contributed all the sentinel torches they carried.
Except for the exiled soldiers and winged hybrids who did not participate in the banquet and were patrolling and guarding the city gates on both sides, the remaining sentry torches were all assigned to the city lord's mansion where Roland was located.
They don't want to experience another night of black knife conspiracy.
And Roland couldn't let the golden tree always activate the ability to sense thoughts. It was still too weak now, so he happily accepted the kindness of these knights.
"Ah, praise the golden tree, praise the golden order!" Kenneth Hyde, who was sitting at the first table on Roland's right, stood up, raised his glass and shouted loudly.
When Kenneth Hyde saw that everyone was paying attention to him, he showed a satisfied smile, stretched out his palm to signal everyone to look at Roland, who was sitting in the position of the city lord, and said loudly: "Gentlemen, the wine in your hands is Just this one cup! Why don’t we pay tribute to our noble and kind Lord Roland together! It is him who, after the broken ring of magic and the loss of the blessing of gold, returns to the glory of the golden tree again!"
Under the instigation of Kenneth Hyde, the people inside and outside the city lord's hall ranged from the Lost Knight to the Gray Knight to the ten winged of whether there was wine in the glass or not, they all raised their glasses together and loudly presented their congratulations to Roland, and finally said in unison: "To Lord Roland! To the golden tree!"
Roland also stood up, although he didn't like being in such a spotlight now he can be regarded as the backbone of these people and must bear some responsibilities.
Just like now, when his subordinates show respect and loyalty to him, he must respond.
Roland also raised his glass and drank the juice in the a smile on his face, he said to everyone who was still unwilling to sit down: "You are all the people of gold. It is what I should do to give you your blessings again."
Roland paused for a moment, then collected his words and continued: "In addition, Lord Arthur and all the Gray Knights except Farrugia and Pang just came in the afternoon in response to the call of the Golden Tree. They haven't had time to get familiar with the environment here. He rushed to the battlefield.”
"And the winged hybrids sitting outside, I have not forgotten your contribution. If you hadn't been building fortifications day and night, if you hadn't been guarding the golem guards and annihilating all those Pegasus knights, then the commando team would have been very difficult. There may be huge casualties.”
"Although there is no fine wine in the wine glasses in our hands now, I promise you that in three days, we will definitely let you relax and drink with peace of mind! This time, let me salute you. You are all contributors to this battle. !”
After speaking, Roland refilled a glass of juice, drank it again, then put down the glass and said, "Sit down and enjoy the food, my warriors."
"Yes!" Everyone was very obedient to Roland's words and sat down in a hurry.
Among them, the Gray Knights were the most excited. They had no choice but to do so. They were a group of believers who originally believed in the Golden for the other three homeless knights, although they were grateful in their hearts, they were not as excited as the group of Grek knights. They wanted to go out and help kill a few more enemies to express their loyalty.
The winged hybrids are relatively calm. It's enough to eat and drink without worrying about being bullied or discriminated against. They are a group of simple creatures who are very satisfied.
After Roland also sat down, he ate the food on the table into his mouth at will, while thinking about the direction to go next.
After today's battle, the Holy Empire of France should calm down for a while in the next few the memory of Marigit read from the golden tree, Roland could know why they were so interested in Dogu City.
Emotions are blocking other people's attack routes, and they are also the most critical city.
That's why the system is so generous in awarding so many tasks with rich rewards.
To be honest, if I hadn't summoned the Golem Guards in time to eliminate the reconnaissance troops sent by both empires in the past few days, creating a time lag in the information, these ancient cities would definitely not be able to defend them.
The Charles Empire doesn’t know, but the Holy Empire of France must weigh its only good news now is that they don't know the real strength of their side, and they all think that they are fighting with the other party and have no idea that there is a third party disrupting the situation.
