In Hongshigang Castle, the suspension bridge has been raised and the gate is closed, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Yang Ke stood on the city wall, staring at the well-organized Fei Lie army a few hundred meters below the city, exuding a powerful aura, feeling extremely heavy.
After an almost desperate journey, the reinforcements from Meiding City led by him finally arrived at Red Rock Hill before the Feili people and took over the place after killing more than twenty of their best horses.
defense.
Now, the villagers outside Hongshigang Castle have taken refuge in the castle, and the defense work inside the castle has already begun.
However, the solid castle, the mountains of stones and logs, and the soldiers under his command still could not give Yank the slightest sense of security.
Look at the opponent's lineup.
More than 150 elite knights, at least ten magicians, plus more than 200 cavalry and the same number of infantry. This kind of power is completely devastating to the small castle of Hongshigang.
.
"Sir," Yank's deputy Sander walked up to the city wall and reported, "The magic pattern array has been checked and is operating normally. However, Master Mark said that this is only the simplest first-level magic pattern array.
We can't withstand it for long. If we can't contain the opponent's mages, I'm afraid the magic pattern array will collapse within five rounds of attacks at most."
Yank nodded.
"Is the city gate blocked?" he asked.
"It has been sealed with bluestone strips," Sander said.
"Then just wait!" Yank sighed and stared into the distance, "I hope General Eugene can arrive as soon as possible. Otherwise, Lulian will be finished."
Sander was silent for a long time, then he said, "Sir, there is still no news from Nuanshui Lake?"
Since arriving at Hongshigang, Yanke quickly sent people to get in touch with Nuanshui Lake.
Originally, they thought that the team led by Roy had set off before them and was closer than Red Rock Hill, so they should have arrived long ago. However, they did not expect that the person who replied was the former garrison officer Todd of Nuanshui Lake Fort.
When he first heard that Yank had arrived at Red Rock Hill, Todd was overjoyed.
You know, when the fjord was first lost, even he in the Warm Water Lake Castle did not receive any news. And when he got the news, released the letter falcon, and sent people to the rear to inform, the Phillies
The griffin knights have sealed off the entire area. Not one of the released falcons has escaped the griffin's pursuit.
Even if the people sent out evade the Griffin Knights, according to Todd's estimation, it will take ten prayer hours at the earliest to reach Meding City. By the time the reinforcements from Meding City arrive, it will be at least twenty-four prayer hours.
After that.
But what he didn't expect was that before his messenger arrived, the reinforcements from Meiding City had miraculously appeared at Red Rock Hill.
There is no doubt that this means that the reinforcements from Meiding City did not set off after receiving the news. Rather, someone had seen through the Feili people's plot before that. Almost at the same time that the fjord was lost, troops from the United States had already arrived.
Ding Cheng set off.
Todd didn't know who this person was, he only knew that he was saved.
Since there are reinforcements at Hongshigang, Nuanshui Lake, whose geographical location is equally important, should also have reinforcements.
"Why, haven't they arrived yet? They set off a long time before us. Logically speaking, they should have been here four prayer hours ago."
This is what Yank's messenger blurted out after arriving at Warm Water Lake.
These words made Todd, who was so happy, feel cold in his heart.
Four prayer hours would normally be a boring afternoon, and no one would care if it was all wasted. However, now it is during a war where every second is raced against time. Wasting even one minute is a crime, not to mention being late for four whole prayer hours, or even
So far there is no trace.
A troop of hundreds of people just disappeared?
And the Warm Water Lake Castle, which was supposed to be waiting for reinforcements, was just sold to the Phillies?!
This logistics officer, who had never fought in a war, left a message when bidding farewell to Yank's messenger: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back alive this time. However, no matter who the guy named Roy is, remember,
You must send him to a military court for me!"
Although he has never met Todd, Yank can completely imagine the desperate look and hoarse voice of this poor Warmwater Lake Castle defender.
Yank closed his eyes for a long time, then took a deep breath with difficulty and said, "No. Todd and we have sent people out to investigate. However, there is no news until now."
Sander said sadly: "If this is the case, Nuanshui Lake may not be able to be defended. Even if General Eugene arrives, we will only have a foothold on Red Rock Hill. It will not help the situation."
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said, "Why is that boy named Roy so unreliable? He really shouldn't have been allowed to lead the team in the first place."
"It's not necessarily his fault," Yank said, "I'm afraid there was an accident on the road. After all, so many long knights and the cavalry I assigned to him are not fools and will not let him do whatever he wants.
.Furthermore, I think this kid is not the kind of person who doesn’t know the importance of things."
Just as he was talking, the soldiers beside him burst into a commotion.
Yank turned his head and looked around, only to see Fei Lie's army in the distance, forming an arc and slowly pressing towards this side.
At the front of the queue, a black-haired young man, guarded by ten magicians and thirty knights, rode on horseback. With an indifferent and careless expression, even in the face of the city defenders who were already targeting him.
The crossbow has not changed at all.
Taking a leisurely stroll is like walking in your own backyard.
Three hundred meters away, Fei Lie's army stopped. Only the young knight and his escort continued to move forward.
Yank waved his hand to signal the soldiers not to act rashly. The gesture shown by the other party was obviously seeking dialogue.
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, until they reached the bottom of the city, the young man stopped.
The young man was wearing a purple armor with magic patterns. He had a handsome appearance and a calm demeanor. Sitting down was a fire-maned demon lion with a snow-white body and red mane. Although it was tens of meters away, it gave people a strong sense of oppression.
"My name is Mu Ye," the young man raised his head and stared at Yank, his black eyes like cold obsidian, "I will be the conqueror here."
Solan soldiers were in an uproar.
"Who is this guy?"
"What a bullshit conqueror, aren't you too arrogant?!"
Only Yanke's eyelids jumped when he heard this name.
Among the five heroes under the command of the famous general Minai of the Ferret Empire, the most famous and powerful one is called Makuya.
However, Yank did not expect that in this legend, he once led thirty knights to defeat seven barbarian tribes, killing them like rivers of blood. He not only slaughtered hundreds of barbarian tribesmen, but also gouged out the eyes of three of the most stubborn barbarian priests.
The man who cut out his tongue and nailed it to a cross, thus causing a major earthquake among the barbarian tribes in northern Felie, was the meticulous young man in front of him.
He has a cold personality, excellent strategy, and excellent judgment and leadership. Even in the most dangerous times, he can maintain an almost extreme calmness. His combat and command style is fierce and fierce. He is good at attacking... This is about Mu Ye.
evaluate.
But for Yank, more importantly, since this person is here, it means that Minai's huge figure appears behind the scenes of this war. It also means that several other places in this war zone
…
Yank's heart sank a little bit.
If before this, he still had three points of confidence in guarding the Red Stone Hill Castle, then now he only had half a point left.
"I don't want to waste time," Makuya said coldly, "My mission is to capture this castle. No matter how many people you have and how determined you are, this result will not change. So, what I give you
The suggestion is to surrender immediately. In this case, you can save your lives without making unnecessary sacrifices."
"What if I refuse!" Yank took a deep breath and said loudly.
"Then I will order an attack after half a prayer time," Mu Ye said calmly. "After breaking the city, I will kill every living thing in the city. Whether it is people, horses, or rats in the kitchen.
.”
There was deathly silence on the castle. Everyone could see that this guy named Makuya was no longer joking.
He will really kill everyone in the castle. Whether they are soldiers or civilians, whether they are old people or children. This cold-faced guy will not hesitate at all.
But...slowly, a smile appeared on Yanke's lips.
"It sounds very powerful," Yank turned his head and looked at the soldiers beside him, "Everyone said, shall we surrender?"
A burst of laughter sounded on the city wall.
"Idiot, I want your father to surrender and live in the next life." A group of soldiers climbed on the wall and spat. The white saliva was like a row of arrows, puff puff puff puff, "Fei Lie bastard!!"
"Come on, pretty boy, come and kiss my butt!" Several men jumped up on the wall, turned around, took off their pants, slapped their white buttocks, and shook them a few times.
The knights were more steady, just holding their arms and smiling at each other. However, the joking look on their faces was like seeing an ignorant little kid. This was a kind of complete disregard and contempt.
In terms of force, Saint Solan may be the weakest among the three empires. However, the fact that it is constantly resorting to military force does not mean that this country lacks courage.
A hundred years ago, Grand Duke Solan dominated the world, resisted the joint attack of the two empires and the Holy See, and managed to create this empire from the cracks. What a heroic act.
And a hundred years later, this bloody courage is far from disappearing. Not only that, in the face of the brutal murders committed by the Feili people on the southern coast, the courage hidden in the bones is flourishing.
In just one sentence, he wanted everyone to surrender in humiliation. This guy made a wrong calculation. I'm afraid he didn't understand that from the moment we set off from Meiding City, everyone had no intention of going back alive!
If you want to occupy this castle, you can do it in exchange for your life!
"Did you hear that?" Yanke looked at Mu Ye with a smile, his face filled with unabashed pride and contempt, "Is this answer clear enough? If you still don't understand, then..."
Yank pulled out the long sword from his waist with his backhand. The sharp blade slowly broke open the skin of his forehead, cutting a bloody gash as wide as his eyebrows.
Blood oath to fight to the death!
After licking the blood that flowed to the corner of his mouth, Yank spat a mouthful of bloody saliva down the wall and said coldly, "I finally understand now!"
There was silence all over the city.
A moment later, there was a clanging sound of long swords being unsheathed, and the Solan knights cut their foreheads and swore an oath in the same way. At a glance, above the city, there were just ferocious images covered in blood.
Face!
The knight Felie below the city couldn't help but feel a commotion.
Since the attack on Solan, Fei Lie's army has been unstoppable and invincible. In their eyes, the Solan Empire is not only weak. It is also suffering from internal strife. Those scheming nobles, those lords who have taken their families to avoid the imperial capital before they even come to the city,
There is no way he is qualified to be the opponent of the powerful and heroic Knight Philip.
What they didn't expect was that in this small castle that was destined to fall, there would be such a group of defenders who were looking forward to death.
Mu Ye, on the other hand, stared at the city head quietly, with the expression on his face not changing at all. He said slowly: "I don't know whether to admire your courage or laugh at your stupidity. But I must admit,
You have successfully angered me. Maybe I should let you understand the price of stupid provocation..."
Before he finished speaking, the fire-maned demon lion suddenly opened its huge mouth and let out a deafening roar. Amidst the roar, Mu Ye swayed and flew towards the city head, directly hitting the man who just slapped his butt towards him.
The provocative infantry squad leader.
He was extremely fast, and he launched an attack in such a hurry that no one could recover for a moment. By the time everyone reacted, he had already crossed a distance of tens of meters and arrived in front of the team leader like a ghost.
.
The squad leader retreats quickly!
"Be careful!" Yank shouted loudly, rising into the air and rushing toward Mu Ye. He punched out from a distance of seven or eight meters!
With this punch, Yank used all his strength. All eight battle rings were released without reservation. Like eight meteors, they drew upward or downward arcs in the air and crashed into the night.
At the same time, others also took action. The three knights who were closer at the same time thrust their swords at Muye. On the arrow towers on both sides, the armor-piercing crossbows that had been on guard suddenly fired two spears.
The armor-piercing arrows were like two black lightning bolts, one on the left and one on the right, heading straight into the night.
In an instant, everyone formed a siege storm targeting Mu Ye.
At this time, Mu Ye was still almost five meters away from the team leader. If he wanted to continue to attack, he would have to withstand all the attacks at that moment. And such an attack would be enough to severely damage any Great Light-level
The following knights.
On this city wall, there was no difference between being seriously injured and dying. It was impossible for the guards below to cross the city wall and save him amid the heavy siege of Solan's soldiers.
However, what is shocking is that in the face of the siege, Mu Ye showed no intention of retreating.
I saw his figure swaying, and his speed, which was already as fast as lightning, increased sharply again. A ray of light flashed on the purple armor, wrapped around his body, and violently pulled out several phantoms that moved forward fiercely.
.
"Bang!"
Under the eyes-splitting gazes of General Solan, Mu Ye slapped the squad leader's chest with his hand, as if he had defeated a soldier.
This palm was like a suction force. The squad leader's flying body was not only knocked away, but also stopped strangely. A burst of blood exploded from the soldier's torn chest. In the blood,
Mu Ye's figure was already like a falcon, soaring into the sky, turning around in the sky, and flying towards the bottom of the castle.
When his figure reappeared on the majestic back of the fire-maned demon lion, there was a loud bang on the wall.
Yank's eight battle rings hit the bluestone of the city wall, and rubble flew everywhere. Two armor-piercing arrows staggered through the air, flew far out of the castle, and stuck on the ground a hundred meters away. And three
The knight's long sword was completely pierced in the air, and even Muye's fur was not damaged.
The angry-eyed squad leader fell onto the cold city wall. Muye's palm easily destroyed every inch of bone and muscle in his body.
“Prawn!”
A mournful wail sounded, and several officers from the original defenders of Hongshigang rushed forward crazily and hugged the dead team leader tightly.
Because he had only taken over the Redstone Hill guard job for a short period of time, Yank did not know the names of these officers. However, he could tell from his previous work as a castle guard that these officers were well-trained and committed to their duties. They also had a deep understanding of each other.
The relationship is very deep. Under their leadership, Hongshigang maintained good morale and performed meticulous defense work before reinforcements arrived.
"They are all members of the 121th Squad of the Wuhe Army. After the Battle of Meiding City, they officially joined the imperial army. Ten days ago, they were ordered to be deployed from the front line to garrison at Red Rock Hill." The trembling words of "Song" sounded in Yanke's ears.
De's voice said, "The one who died, nicknamed Daxia, was also a hero in the Battle of Meiding City, and was canonized by the Grand Duke. Unexpectedly..."
Team 121!
Sander's words made Yank and his knights' eyes completely change.
This is the team that contributed to Meiding City’s great victory!
Everyone did not expect that the members of this team would be at Hongshigang. They did not expect that one of the heroes would be openly killed by the enemy under their noses.
Looking at the bloody body of Prawn, looking at the trembling bodies and red eyes of Sean, Hongjiu, Daozi and other members of Team 121 who were surrounding him, everyone present was swept away by an uncontrollable grief and indignation.
.
And along with this grief, there is also endless shock!
That night, it turned out to be a magic knight!
No wonder he is so arrogant and confident. Not to mention the huge gap in military strength and combat effectiveness between the two sides, his personal strength alone is unmatched in this small castle.
Yank turned his head sharply.
Below the castle, Mu Ye clapped his hands gently, gave him a sideways glance, turned the fire-maned demon lion, and ordered: "Attack, kill them all!"
"Get ready to fight!" Yank roared!
The horns of both sides sounded almost simultaneously.
Suddenly, everything in the castle was in motion. Countless Solan soldiers swarmed up the city wall. Feathered arrows were already pouring down like a torrential rain on the Fei Lie knights below the city. From time to time, they were mixed with the harsh sharp tips of armor-piercing crossbows.
Roaring. The nearby Fei Lie Knight slowly retreated under the cover of Mu Ye. The distant brigade accelerated towards this side.
A fierce battle is about to break out.
At this moment, from the southwest, a towering beacon smoke caught the eyes of the soldiers on both sides.
"That's..."
"Fei Liejun's emergency beacon!"
……………………
……………………
The beacon smoke from the guard tower in Huohu Village became the focus of the entire war zone.
In this vast mountain forest, whether it is Fei Lie's army marching towards their respective goals or Solan's defenders waiting for disaster to come, everyone is looking in the direction of Fire Fox Village, looking at the road that could not have appeared in the first place.
The beacon smoke in this sky has different expressions. Some are shocked, some are anxious, and most of them are confused and confused.
Everyone knew that there was just a sentry tower, and only an infantry squadron and ten cavalry were stationed there.
In front of Knight Fei Lie, their existence is like a mantis blocking the chariot. There is no other ending than being shattered into pieces.
This war zone is already dominated by Fei Lie's army. Whether it is Hongshi Gang, Nuanshui Lake or Bison Village... Solan's defenders are at an absolute disadvantage. Like sheep divided by wolves, no one knows
Can you still live to see the sun tomorrow? Therefore, no one will be surprised if anything happens to the guard tower of Fire Fox Village.
But no one expected that what rose from the sentry tower was actually an indigo beacon smoke!
That is the most urgent distress signal from the Fei Lie Army!
How is it possible to appear in this place?!
Facing this beacon smoke, Solan's soldiers were confused, with a hint of hope. They didn't know what happened in Fire Fox Village, but since Fei Lie's army lit the beacon smoke, it meant that this was a big deal for their side.
A good thing.
However, not knowing the specific situation made everyone feel like a cat scratching their hearts. Everyone wished they could grow a pair of wings and fly over to see what happened.
Fei Lie, on the other hand, had different reactions.
"Send out the gryphon knights immediately to investigate the news!" Hongshigang Castle temporarily stopped the attack at midnight and ordered with a cold face. The beacon smoke made him smell an unknown smell.
"Isn't this how you capture this guy to tell us that he succeeded?" In the other direction, Zi Sen reined in his horse, looked back at the beacon smoke, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Damn it, doesn't he know what winning is?"
Not martial?"
"Stop the march," Tie Lun, who was only three kilometers away from Nuanshui Lake Castle, said with a cold face, "Send the letter to Falcon and ask what is going on."
"Damn it!" Under the Bison Village, Buz, who had just arrived, was pacing back and forth anxiously, looking at Fengyan with a hint of worry and hesitation.
After a long time, he finally made up his mind.
"Let's go to Fire Fox Village!" Buz gritted his teeth and said, "We are the closest. Let's go and see what that guy is doing."
"But, sir, Buffalo Village..."
Buz looked back coldly at the military camp and the wall not far away, where the somewhat dazed Solan defenders were seen, and coldly snorted: "Why are you so anxious? Sooner or later this place will all be ours. We will kill them when we turn around.
Leave no one behind!”
Seeing Fei Lie's army receding like a tide, the defenders of Buffalo Village looked at each other.
"What do you think, why did Philie retreat? Could it be that over at Fire Fox Village..."
"Isn't it possible? Don't you still know our situation? Even if you add up all the people in the war zone, there won't be enough for Philip to fill his teeth. Is there any other great master who can beat Philip to put out a beacon and ask for help?
?I think it’s Philip’s conspiracy to deceive us out.”
"Well, that's right."
"It's possible!"
"We won't get out until we die."
"Look, gryphon!"
……………………
……………………
In the gloomy sky, a gryphon flew over the iconic Dou Li Peak between Bison Village and Nuanshui Lake Fort, and then flew towards Baektou Mountain where the sentry tower of Fire Fox Village is located.
The dark green forest, light green grassland, and blue lake water passed under the griffin one by one. On the broad back of the griffin, the griffin knight looked at the indigo beacon smoke on Baektu Mountain and took a tired and boring breath.
yawn.
In the eyes of others, the Griffin Knight is a symbol of nobility and wealth, and is an object of envy and even jealousy. However, only the Griffin Knight himself knows that flying in the sky is not that pleasant.
First of all, during flight, the oncoming strong wind is the biggest devastation. Almost every griffin knight has eye problems. If they are stimulated, they will shed tears.
Secondly, raptors like griffins are not that tame. Sometimes, when this damn thing sees its natural enemies or prey, it will often make some unexpected reactions.
Not to mention anything else, just a sudden sideways turn or roll is enough to throw the knight on his back around. If you happen to not have a safety rope fastened, congratulations, you will be like a tin can, from thousands of people.
It fell straight to the ground with a height of about 1 meter, creating a big crater. All that was left was to pile up soil and insert a tombstone.
Although it sounds stupid, in fact, among the various strange ways for griffon knights to die, the option of falling to death accounts for 35% of the time, which is an astonishingly high proportion.
This can be attributed to the tradition of the gryphon knights.
Only a rookie would tie an ugly rope around the saddle and his waist. A true griffin knight is someone who can maintain an extremely tacit understanding with the griffin and can fight on the gryphon's body.
Think about it, in the window of the "qingren" in the dream, there is a knight standing on the back of a griffin, holding flowers in his hands, rising slowly in the magic moon on the horizon, and a silly guy hanging on a rope.
Who can win the heart of the knight who is tied to a gryphon?
You know everything with your butt.
The griffin knight rubbed his eyes and looked at the gloomy sky. Apart from crying in the wind and feeling dizzy, this was the most difficult thing for the griffin knight - flying in bad weather.
The feeling of flying thousands of meters high in the sky when there are violent storms, lightning, and thunder is simply the same as entering hell. And the worst part is, judging from the signs in front of us, the weather is heading in that damn direction.
The griffin knight gently patted the griffin's neck, signaling it to go faster.
You must know that since the attack on the fjord, he and his three other companions have shouldered the task of covering up the intelligence of the entire war zone. They took off again and again, dived again and again, and chased down the messenger falcon and the messenger again and again.
Extremely tired.
He doesn't know what happened in Fire Fox Village.
He just hoped that he could complete the task early before the storm came, and then get into bed and have a good sleep. As for fighting, that was a matter for the guys on the ground.
Flying along the rolling hills, Mount Baekdu soon appeared in front of us.
The knight lowered the gryphon and checked above the Fire Fox Village. He found that the place was empty and the whole village was quiet.
With a gentle pull on the reins, the gryphon understood and circled upwards. During this process, the gryphon knight kept a safe distance from Mount Baektu and the sentry tower on the top of the mountain. He did not want to become an archer's job.
target.
What surprised him was that the sentry tower on the top of the mountain was as quiet as the village below.
Except for the straight beacon smoke, there was no one around the sentry tower. The jungle was quiet, and there was no trace of a fight as far as the eye could see.
"Huh?" The griffin knight frowned.
Logically speaking, Naqi should have arrived here by this time. Even if something happened to him, he should at least leave some traces. But now, the village and the sentry tower are eerily quiet. Not only Naqi's troops
It disappeared out of thin air, and even the Solan defenders were missing.
After making sure it was safe, the griffon knight let the griffon approach the guard tower.
At this moment, a burst of dog barking came from the top of the sentry tower. The griffon knight looked closely and saw a fat spotted dog, jumping and barking at him, grinning from time to time.
He lowered his body and put on a threatening look.
The griffon knight had a toothache.
This was the first time he had seen such a fat and ugly dog.
What's even more irritating is that just a second ago, this thing was still shouting "I don't care who you are, I will bite you to death if you dare to come down here." Whenever the gryphon flew closer, it would whimper and go towards it with its tail between its legs.
Sliding back, a face like "I'm just joking, are you serious?"
There is only one dog on the guard tower, and the griffin knight is going to go down and take a look.
The griffin slowly lowered its height. During this process, the knight was always on guard. If there was any movement around him, he would immediately choose to take off and escape.
As a scout, bringing information back is your top priority.
As for the rest, even if Nazi died in front of him, it had nothing to do with him.
A few seconds later, the griffin had arrived less than 300 meters away from the sentry tower. There was still no movement around, except for the fat dog, which was barking more and more panicked, and its fat body was spinning in circles.
, full of tricks.
The griffin knight kicked the gryphon violently in the belly and dived towards the sentry tower.
Two hundred and seventy meters, two hundred and forty meters... At this moment, suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw two armies approaching quickly from the mountain col in the distance.
One of them was very familiar to him. It was the team led by Buz. Judging from the direction of march, they obviously came from the Buffalo Village.
And the other one was actually an ambushed Solan army.
At this moment, they, lurking in the mountains and forests, were like poisonous snakes, cutting horizontally into the center of Buz's headquarters.
As soon as they made contact, the twenty black-armored knights at the front were like sharp steel knives, cutting through Fei Lie's army. The elite black lightning knights were like cheese in front of them,
There was no resistance at all. Their bodies were shattered under the storm-like light, and the entire queue was in chaos.
Where did this Thran army come from?
The griffin knight was shocked. He pulled the reins sharply and tried to pull the griffin up.
But at this moment, he saw the fat dog man lying on the battlement on the top of the sentry tower, licking his tongue and grinning.
"Woof!"
Accompanying this dog barking was a terrifying dragon's breath rising into the sky!
As if being hit by an invisible shock wave, the gryphon knight in the sky felt as if he was standing upside down with chills all over his body, and the energy flow in his body was completely stagnant. Even his thoughts seemed to be frozen.
The sitting griffon was even more unbearable. The natural suppression of the racial hierarchy made it unable to resist the dragon's breath at all. After a mournful cry, the huge body fell straight to the ground like a stone.
There was a loud bang.
At the last moment when his field of vision was filled with solid ground, the last thing the Griffin Knight saw was the fat dog with its tongue hanging out and an innocent face.
