The atmosphere in Nuanshui Lake Castle is depressing and dull.
Under the dim light blocked by dark clouds, only figures could be seen busy running back and forth. The usual bustle and bustle had long since disappeared. Everyone's face was full of worry and fear.
Half a prayer time ago, the scouts sent from the castle reported the traces of Fei Lie's army.
The army coming towards Nuanshui Lake is already less than eight kilometers away from Nuanshui Lake. Within three prayer hours, they will arrive here and send this castle and everyone in it to death.
of hell.
From the moment he received the information, Chief Todd ordered all the soldiers to go up the city wall. The young and middle-aged men in the fort were also distributed with weapons and were ready to fight at any time. Stones and logs were ready, and the big
The oil in the pot was also lit and boiling. The women and children were gathered in the basement of the main tower of the castle. They lit candles and prayed under the leadership of a priest.
Then, there is the suffocating wait.
Every minute and every second that passes is a kind of maddening suffering for these people who are waiting for war and death to come.
The distance between Fei Lie's army is getting closer and closer.
Every few minutes, the scout will report the other party's whereabouts.
According to these scouts, it was an army composed of more than 150 knights. Each knight's lance was tied with a flat-horned flag symbolizing the knight's identity.
There were no cavalry or retinues. They wore the same black armor and rode the same horses. As they marched, the formation was neat and quiet. Even from a long distance, you could feel the cold murderous aura emanating from their bodies.
Those are real elite knights. For this small castle, as long as one person from the other side climbs to the top of the city, the battle will be over.
Death is inevitable.
What made everyone sad and disappointed was that Nuanshui Lake Castle originally had reinforcements.
The team with ten long knights, dozens of apprentice knights and two hundred cavalry set off before Yank, but has not yet reached the closer Warm Water Lake Castle.
They are missing.
Because of their disappearance, hundreds of people in Nuanshui Lake Castle will pay the price with their lives in the near future.
However, just as the atmosphere in the castle became increasingly tense and Fei Lie's army had arrived less than three kilometers away from the castle, a straight line of beacon smoke rushed into the sky from the direction of Fire Fox Village.
At that moment, everyone in Nuanshui Lake Castle ran up the city wall or climbed onto the roof.
Everyone looked into the distance. In addition to confusion, their eyes were filled with shock.
What happened? No one knows. What everyone knows is that Philip's army marching towards Nuanshui Lake stopped because of the appearance of this beacon smoke.
Todd was on the city wall, pacing back and forth, frowning.
"Sir, how about I go to Fire Fox Village to have a look?" The scout captain, covered in dust, walked up to Todd and whispered.
Todd glared, "The Phillies have sealed off the entire castle. If you go out now, you are seeking death."
"It's death anyway, what does it matter if it's sooner or later?" The scout captain shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "As a scout, instead of dying in this damn cage like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered, it's better to go to the Fire Fox
Village, please satisfy my curiosity. Let’s see who can make Phillie light up the beacon for emergency help.”
As he spoke, he touched his chin and said to Todd, "Sir, tell me, could it be the troop that was supposed to come to us..."
"Impossible!" Todd snorted coldly, "With dozens of trainee knights and two hundred cavalry, with such a small force, if we had arrived here early, we could have used the castle to fight against Philly. In the wild...
...Hmph, no matter how many times their number is, they are still no match for the Phillies. Those who can serve as the vanguard of the attack on the fjord are all the elites of the Phillies."
The scout captain nodded silently.
Although he is unwilling to admit it, it is an undisputed fact that the combat effectiveness of Solan's army is much lower than that of Fei Lie's army. Relying on the castle to fight defensive battles, the combat effectiveness of Solan's soldiers may be one to one with Fei Lie's soldiers.
Proportion. But when fighting in the wild, even two Solan soldiers may not be able to defeat one Fei Lie soldier.
At the knight level, the gap is even greater.
In the battle in the Northwestern Province of Prussia, there are countless examples of the Knights of Philip using a small team to defeat a squadron of Solan knights head-on.
Taking this as a reference, the possibility of a team composed of trainee knights from the three major training camps defeating an army composed of hundreds of elite knights is almost zero.
"In addition to them..." the scout captain said with some confusion, "Is there another one of our troops in this war zone?"
Todd shook his head and said: "I don't know if there are other troops. However, whatever happens in Fire Fox Village, it cannot have anything to do with that rookie troop. I estimate that if they are not the first to enter the war zone,
Time, if they were caught by Philip just because their location was exposed, they must be hiding somewhere now, shivering."
The scout captain glanced at Todd's livid face and closed his mouth tightly.
Although he vaguely felt in his heart that the team composed of a bunch of hard-blooded training camp students would not be so cowardly and despicable. However, he knew that Todd's resentment had reached the extreme, and naturally he was not willing to defend the other party.
However, at this moment, suddenly, a guard rushed over panting and reported: "Sir, there is an elf hunter at the back door of the castle asking to see him. He said he was sent by Roy."
"Roy?!"
As soon as he heard this name that made people grit their teeth, Todd's eyes suddenly burned, "Where is he?"
A moment later, Todd had crossed the arch bridge between the castle's main tower and the city wall, arrived at the back door of the castle, and saw the elf hunter wearing dark green leather armor who was surrounded by a group of guards.
This is a young male elf. He is about 190 centimeters tall, handsome and slender. He carries a short bow and a round package on his back, and two scimitars at his waist. He wears leather armor and
The leather boots under my feet were covered with mud and grass clippings from walking in the jungle for a long time.
However, his calm and calm demeanor made this small flaw in his appearance not noticeable at all.
Elves are a jealous bunch.
"You said you are from Roy?" Todd strode up to the elf, looked him up and down, and said straight to the point, "But I haven't heard that there are elves in the team from Meiding City.
exist."
He raised his chin: "What's your name? Why are you here?"
"Dear Mr. Knight, my name is Mi Feng," the male elf said calmly. "I am a follower of Master Roy. I have been ordered to come here. I hope to get in touch with the rear through Nuanshui Lake Castle."
"Follower?" Todd had a ridiculous feeling.
An elf who advocates freedom and has an arrogant nature would actually call a trainee in a training camp Master and admit that he is one of his followers. This is simply unbelievable. Who is that boy? The illegitimate son of the Queen of the Elf, or the heir of a wealthy family?
But no matter who he is, he who was supposed to reinforce Nuanshui Lake Castle did not appear here, which destined his identity to be just a sinner who should be sent to the gallows!
Together with Eugene, who made this young boy the leader of the Long Knight squad, and Yank, who asked him to lead the team, they should all be responsible for hundreds of lives in Warm Water Lake.
Thinking of this, Todd said coldly: "How can I trust you? Just based on your few words?"
"Perhaps this can prove my identity." Mi Feng seemed to have anticipated Todd's question. He took off the package from his body, placed it on the ground, and opened it.
A human head, hundreds of cloak fragments and identity plates appeared in front of Todd.
"This is..." Everyone around was in an uproar.
"We attacked Fei Lie's army Naqi's headquarters in the Rock Valley," Mi Feng said calmly. "This is Naqi's head, the identity plate of his knight, and the fragments of the coat of arms embroidered on the cloak."
As he spoke, he took out a note and handed it to the stunned Todd; "This is a letter from my young master."
Todd grabbed the note and hurriedly unfolded it, his expression became extremely exciting.
"You mean, the commander behind Fei Lie's army this time is Minai? The five heroes of Qisehai who were sent to attack us?" He looked blankly at the head on the ground, and then at Mi Feng.
"Then, you wiped out all Naqi's troops in the Rock Valley?"
"Yes, Mr. Todd," Mi Feng said, "Have you seen the beacon smoke in Fire Fox Village? We lit it. The young master decided to use this to attract the attention of other Fei Lie troops in the war zone to reduce your defense pressure.
.Before I went here, we had received news that Buz’s troops, who were attacking Bison Village, were heading towards Fire Fox Village. The young master was ready to give them a surprise."
Todd, the scout captain and the surrounding soldiers were completely stunned.
Everyone stared blankly at the elf hunter, trying desperately to see a suspicious trace on his face. However, the other person's calmness and calmness made them understand that this was not a joke.
What's more, right in front of them, there is a human head, hundreds of nameplates and heraldic fragments.
This cannot be faked. You may need to find someone to confirm whether you have collected all the heads. But having your identity plate taken off and the coat of arms on your cloak cut off is a great shame for any knight. Such things
, it may be possible to do one or two, but no one has the ability to do hundreds at a time.
Unless, what this elf said is true.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain everything in front of you.
Todd held the letter in his hand tightly, and his heartbeat was so fast that it was unbearable for him.
After carefully asking about all the details of Roy's team's experience from leaving Munich to Fire Fox Village, he felt a stream of blood rush to the top of his head, and his whole face turned red.
He never dreamed that the guy he had scolded hundreds of times in his mind actually had sixty elven followers. Moreover, there were twenty magic-equipped Celestial Knights in his team!
After entering the war zone, they bypassed Nuanshui Lake and rushed to Rock Valley, annihilating the army led by Naqi, one of the Five Heroes of Qisehai. Then, they lit beacon smoke in Fire Fox Village.
This beacon smoke was like a bamboo pole inserted into the bottom of the water, muddying the water in the entire war zone.
Not only did the Solan Army not know what happened, the Fei Lie Army also didn't know. Moreover, compared to the Solan Army, they cared more about their emergency beacon.
As a result of the beacon smoke, the army that attacked Buffalo Village had turned to Fire Fox Village, and the Fei Lie army that attacked Nuanshui Castle also stopped.
What if... Although it was unbelievable, Todd still couldn't help but think about it. If Roy defeated Butz, then the strength of Philip's army would be reduced to two out of five. As long as Eugene can lead the army to arrive in time, this
Solan may not lose the battle!
"What do you want me to do?" Todd asked quickly.
"We have dealt with the gryphon knights in this area. The young master hopes to use this period of time to contact the rear through the letter falcon in the castle," Mi Feng said, "and send the information here back as soon as possible."
Todd nodded. This is indeed the first priority at the moment.
After all, the battle situation in the fjord theater is an important part of the entire Lulian war situation. The situation here will directly affect the decisions of generals in other theaters.
"That's no problem," Todd said excitedly, "I'll do it myself!"
A few minutes later, two letter falcons took off from the Warmwater Castle. One headed for Meding and the other for Munich. Like two bolts of lightning, they flew away under the dark clouds.
