In fact, Mathubad made the right decision to immediately order the vampire Belites to lead the vanguard army to attack the Spire Palace after receiving the news, because when Belites led the undead vanguard to set off from Mousilon, Ryan
The army has just built the pontoon bridge with the help of dwarven engineers.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! We don't have much time left!" Almost all the knights were delivering supplies and assisting in the defense of the city while shouting orders. After Ryan personally left the field and carried the cannon up the city wall, the knights
The gentlemen were also forced to personally assist in delivering supplies. After all, as the commander-in-chief, Ryan had already left the field to do the hard work, so no one of them dared to stand still.
Many young knights errant complained bitterly, saying that we came here to recover Mousilon, not to work as coolies, and Ryan's subordinate Juan Carlos Sunwatcher immediately plausibly learned and sold it: "In normal times,
Sweat more and bleed less in battle!”
As soon as this statement came out, some knights immediately retorted, saying that Britannia's chivalry has never used these long-range weapons. You civilians can just use them. We knights don't bother to use them.
Pure men just want to fight in close combat!
At this time, Ryan, who was carrying a heavy cannon and walking up the city wall step by step, spoke: "Then it doesn't matter if the Spire Palace is lost? Doesn't it matter if we keep Musilon under the rule of the undead?"
The knights were silent now.
"Two hundred and eighty years have passed since the last Duke of Connaught, Mardred, was killed after the Dole Tower incident. There has been no more Duke in Mousillon. It has become a place forever eroded by sorrow and corruption.
For more than two hundred years, we have come here again and again and failed again and again. Is this the way of chivalry? The way of chivalry is to sit back and watch this land given to us by the lady, and watch it become corrupted forever.
Go down?"
"We have been preparing for this war for many years." Ryan put down the heavy artillery. He stood on the city wall and said to all the knights: "We made a surprise attack on this castle on a cold night. We fought in heavy rain and snow.
We charged in the middle of the night, we fought in the dark, we won in the dawn, and now, decades later, our flag is once again flying on the Spire Palace, but this is still just the beginning!"
"The undead also know the importance of the Spire Palace. Their counterattack will be extremely fierce. And we only have more than 5,000 people. We must defend this place in front of at least 20,000 undead army. Knights, we have no way to retreat. We have no way to retreat."
There's no way to escape, if we fail, tomorrow our dead bodies will be waving at me
Even so, does it not matter if we use the weapons they used when they were alive to attack our compatriots?" Ryan said to all the knights: "When people die, the vampires will win. This battle will be worthless. You
Are you willing to die worthless? Are you willing to become the plaything of the undead after death?!"
Opposition broke out among the knights, and they responded loudly to Ryan's words.
"No! Fight to the death! Fight to the end!"
"Destroy the undead!"
"Recover Mousilon! For the lady! For Britannia!"
"For Landuin! For Lion Malcador!"
Ryan nodded with satisfaction. His prestige in the Kingdom of Knights was still very high. Seeing that the emotions of the knights had been aroused, he shouted loudly: "Now we still have a chance! We can help our friend King Belega
Transport artillery up the city wall and transport supplies into the city. As long as we guard the Spire Palace, this place will belong to us in the future! The land of the kingdom does not allow any evil undead to desecrate! Let us be united as one. In order to defend the Spire Palace, knights, please extend your arms.
Hands! For the lady!"
"For the lady!" The knights immediately began to help as if they were getting blood. As soon as these strong professional soldiers joined the working team, the whole speed became much faster.
Even so, it is still very difficult for the dwarf's heavy artillery to be hoisted up the city wall. This is really because the dwarf's artillery is too heavy. In this attack on Mousilon, the artillery and organ cannons that Ryan has stored for many years and the artillery of the Angland clan are almost
They were all shipped, and there were hundreds of different models.
Morgiana, the Lake God Witch, sat in the castle hall and issued orders one after another. After the pontoon bridge was set up, mountains of food supplies and various strategic materials were transported into the castle box by box, including countless bags of bread.
And all kinds of frozen vegetables, meat, fish, as well as some high-end food for knights and various feeds for horses.
"The variety of military rations is really rich." The knights from the Principality of Carcassonne sighed. Hubbard, the Duke of Carcassonne, sent an army of 500 knights and knight retinues to come here to listen to Ryan's dispatch. Some of them
The knight looked at the food and shook his head: "Oh my god, we can almost eat this food!"
The Principality of Carcassonne guards the southern border of Britannia and is attacked by beastman warbands and greenskin tribes all year round. Therefore, the entire principality is on war alert all year round. Due to its long-term trade with Tyrell and Estalia,
The Carcassonne branch of the College of the Goddess of War was also opened here, resulting in the Duchy of Carcassonne being extremely martial, both in the knight class and the serf class.
Therefore, it alleviated the conflicts between them to a certain extent. When everyone was threatened, the knights often encouraged the serfs to "take charge of their own affairs" by reducing taxes, while almost all the serfs in this principality accepted it in order to protect their homes and country.
Having received certain military training, Hubbard, as a duke, used his own laws to rule the principality extremely harshly.
In short, both knights and serfs in this principality have tightened their belts and lived a hard life together. The Kingdom of Knights has considered the situation of Carcassonne. Each generation of knight kings has given certain tax exemptions to the Duke of Carcassonne, and Lake
The magical witch Morgiana will also often send Grail Knights to patrol the southern border.
Although the Duchy of Carcassonne also borders the Athel Loren Forest, their relationship with the wood elves is very poor. The knights of Carcassonne are very envious of Lion's ability to trade with the wood elves, and are also jealous of the wealth of the Duchy of Winford.
Endless.
"The entire kingdom is changing, otherwise there would not be three serfs who were promoted to knights last year. Although it turns out that they are all illegitimate sons of nobles, I think that if a serf can fully demonstrate his loyalty and bravery, then they will have
The value of promotion is just like that of Lord Bertrand!" A young knight said with a smile while carrying a whole box of black powder.
"Mr. Leofric, we are not winners in life like you." A knight from the Duchy of Carcassonne immediately retorted, and a knight errant in his thirties complained: "I know that in your Duchy of Winford
, some serfs already eat as well as knights, and I just hope I can eat as well as you!"
"If you want to eat as well as Leofric, it's very simple, just win the laurels of the Knights Conference!" Paladin Jerrod passed by pushing a cart made by dwarves. This kind of cart made by dwarves is used throughout the Kingdom of Knights.
It has become popular, it is easy to use, and the workmanship is exquisite.
Leofric Kalal, the champion of another Knights Conference after Surya, this Kingdom knight who was only in his mid-twenties and still from the Principality of Winford, defeated twenty knights in the Knights Conference.
The participating knights won the championship and were greatly rewarded by the kingdom's regent Lawn, who was awarded the title of regent.
He was promoted to a knight of the kingdom and given a pure-blooded elf war horse. Not only did he win fame, but he also won the favor of a beautiful noble lady. Helen, the legitimate daughter of Hubald, Duke of Carcassonne, fell in love with this young man.
The knight of the kingdom fell passionately in love with him, and it is said that the two were ready to get married.
In Britannia, there are not many ways for ordinary knights to impress the princess, but winning the knight's crown is obviously one of the most effective ways.
With a double harvest in love and career, Leofric became a winner in life just like Ryan at the time, and the three consecutive knight tournament champions came from the Principality of Winford (Julius, Surya, Leofric).
It also shows the wealth and strength of this principality.
"Sir Gerald!" Leofric Kalal quickly stood up straight and said hello.
"Now is not the time to chat, hurry up! If nothing happens, the Undead Vanguard will arrive this evening!" Jerrod pushed the cart, which was filled with wooden boxes. No one knew what was inside the wooden boxes.
"Yes!" the knights shouted in response.
Jerod nodded and pushed the cart hard up the city wall.
On the city wall, the dwarves and knights worked together to lift the cannons onto the city wall. Even with the help of the knights and knights' retinues, the speed of transporting a large number of artillery onto the city wall was still very slow. Ryan was already covered in sweat at this time, and he struggled with
Putting down a cannon, he said to Jerrod: "Thank you, Jerrod."
"Sir Ryan, if we follow this speed, when the Undead Vanguard arrives, we will only be able to install less than thirty artillery pieces on the city wall." Jerod put the cart down and said with concern: "If this is the case, the Undead Vanguard will
Once the vanguard begins to attack the city, we must stop transporting artillery, and most of the artillery will be useless in defending the city."
"It will work." Ryan took the towel from the sorceress Theresa and wiped it on his face randomly. He looked at the box that Jerrod brought up and smiled: "When the time comes, the city wall will be
Full of artillery."
"When will that happen?" Jerrod looked at the sky. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. No matter how hard he calculated, the Undead Vanguard would arrive before six o'clock.
"It will be full." Ryan motioned to Jerrod to open the wooden box. When Jerrod saw the contents of the wooden box, the paladin's eyes widened: "This is?!"
"Yes, I said, it will be full." Ryan grinned slyly: "I will do what I say."
.........I am the extremely treacherous dividing line......
In the Spire Palace in February, the sky starts to get dark around five o'clock.
Musilon's vampire lord, Belites, has led an army of more than 9,000 undead to approach Musilon.
His lieutenant is Hal Harris, the vampire lord of the Von Carstein family. If anyone still remembers, this guy was Ryan's contact when he disguised himself as a trader in Mousilon. This vampire lord was retained by Manfred.
In Mu Xilong, on the one hand, as his own representative, on the other hand, he also tried to find out the news.
"There is really a lot of weirdness in the fall of the Spire Palace. In any case, it shouldn't have been captured in just one day." Hal Harris was riding on the undead war horse. He said to Belites: "So I
It is recommended that we postpone our advance and send out enough manpower to investigate the environment of the Spire Palace first!"
"No! We must follow Duke Matheweder's order and directly attack the Spire Palace!" Bellites refuted Hal Harris's opinion: "We cannot stay, we must attack before the Yankees have perfected their defenses.
!”
The vampire lord closed his eyes and snorted sarcastically: "Okay, I will listen to you, but I hope you know that there is no benefit in being too loyal to your master. If you listen to his arrangements at all times,
You are losing yourself."
"None of us made mistakes, it's just that our goals were different from the beginning." After Hal Harris finished speaking, he stopped repeating the topic: "Tell me, Mathhubad's lackey, what is your battle plan?"
?”
"We will arrive at the Spire Palace at half past five. I plan to directly choose a wall with weaker defenses to attack directly." Belites ignored the temptation and provocation in Hal Harris's words.
To a certain extent, Hal Harris is right. The vampire lord of the Von Carstein family does have different goals from Belites. What Hal Harris wants is to gather a
With his own army, he became the real power lord, and what Belites wanted was revenge on his half-brother Kalad.
The vampires of the Von Carstein family are like this. They are always planning to improve their status, gain more power and authority, and want to dominate the world.
Belites knew that there were undercurrents surging beneath the calm surface of Musilon. Due to the failure of many wars and conspiracies, even with help from the Lich King Arkhan, Mahhubard's rule was not stable.
Many vampire lords have objections to his frequent retreat to Mousilon, and according to rumors, the Von Carstein family seems to be contributing to this...
Looking at Hal Harris' bald head and the strange expression on his face, Belites seemed to understand something.
But now is not the time to think about this problem. Unknowingly, the Spire Palace has arrived.
The Brittanian army is ready, and human musketeers, dwarf musketeers, and serf archers have gathered on the city wall, ready to face the enemy.
What shocked the two vampire lords was...
So many guns!
So many dwarven cannons!!!
Dwarf cannons are densely arranged on the city wall, with more than fifty cannons installed on just one city wall! A row of black muzzles are facing the undead vanguard, seeming to declare their doomed fate!
"Impossible! This is impossible! It has only been more than a day since the Spire Palace was captured. How did these southerners transport so many artillery pieces to the city wall!" Belites opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "I don't believe it!"
But the results of the investigation told him that the Yankees had completed their defense, and dozens of dwarf cannons were installed on each wall!
The vampire lord who did not believe in evil tried to attack once, and several artillery fire immediately opened on the city wall, blasting the two death squads formed by Belites into pieces.
"Bang~baby!" the dwarf engineer Dugan Tiehan laughed on the city wall: "Come on! Undead bastard! Your Grandpa Dugan is waiting for you here!"
"Damn it! We're late!" Bellites roared angrily: "Retreat! Retreat first! Wait until the Duke leads the main force to arrive, and then discuss how to regain the castle!"
