Chapter 224 Chapter 222: Frost Moon Canyon (last month’s monthly ticket is 1500 plus update)
Camp,
Inside the tent.
Roy sat in the center at the top, with Oliveira on his left and Alfonso Zeke on his right.
There was also a group of knights standing below, all wearing full sets of knight armor and with serious expressions.
There were footsteps, and it was a messenger who was almost collapsed on the ground, being dragged in by two people.
He should be wearing leather armor, but it was covered in dirt and had a foul odor all over his body.
He had overdrawn his physical strength to the point that he was like a fish out of water, gasping for breath with his mouth open.
Seeing this, Luo Yi took out the dimensional bag, took out a bottle of potion and threw it to Alfonso.
Alfonso took it, walked closer in three or two steps, and poured the man another drink.
The effect of the potion was undeniable. After just a moment, his breathing became much more even.
Luo Yi couldn't wait to ask: "Tell me, what's the situation in Frost Moon Canyon?"
"The Wick family has sent their most elite warriors to storm the canyon. The battle has been going on for over ten days. The fighting has been fierce, and our personnel in the canyon have suffered heavy losses.
If it weren't for Grand Knight Vincent Ackerman risking his life, I'm afraid it would have been lost long ago."
"More than ten days?"
Luo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Since we have been fighting for so long, why did you send people for help only now?"
"No, Lord Vincent had already sent people out as soon as the war started. However, he only realized something was amiss when none of them returned!
When it came to my wave, he sent out knights to break out from three directions, forcing those who were ambushing us to reveal their tracks.
I don’t know about other people, but I was able to run away because I hid in a paddy field and escaped with luck.
Then, we rushed here without any delay!"
"That is to say, the Wick family also arranged for people to intercept and kill the messenger in the Flower Territory.
This must have been prepared before the war, what a wolfish ambition!"
Luo Yi leaned forward, looked at the man below, and asked, "Tell me, what's your name?"
"Grem, Grem from Sunset Town, a resident soldier of Frostmoon Canyon, has met the great Lion King."
"Graeme, I remember your name! This time, you have made a contribution, and I will also record it for you.
Now, go down and rest, take care of your body, I will arrange a better future for you!"
"yes!"
When he stood up unsteadily, everyone realized that this man was actually very young and had bright eyes.
Two more people came up and supported him and left the tent.
Luo Yi turned his head and looked at Oliveira, saying, "Teacher, take the swordsmen and go ahead to clean up those spies for me.
Since they dared to kill people in Xianhualing, we will kill them all without sparing a single one."
"yes!"
"Grand Knight Commander Alfonso?"
"I am here!"
"Please gather a hundred knights for me, equip each with two war horses and bring their own food. I will personally lead them to provide assistance.
As for you, the rear army is advancing, under your command, speed up! "
"yes!"
"Everyone, go out and get ready. We'll be leaving in a quarter of an hour!"
"Yes, sir!"
A quarter of an hour later, as it was getting dark, the door of the tent opened.
Luo Yi took the lead and rushed out with hundreds of knights.
…
Frost Moon Canyon.
War fortress.
This is a small war fortress built between two mountains. There are roads in front and behind, so you can ride horses.
But there are cliffs on both sides!
Even a second-level warrior cannot cross it unless he has a special profession and is good at climbing walls.
Therefore, this place is almost always a battleground for military strategists. Whoever controls it is equivalent to controlling the initiative in the war.
And during the years when Count Carl Raymond was strong, the Wick family naturally had to keep a low profile.
This place has always been controlled by the Raymond family, and it has been peaceful for many years!
However, at this moment, this place has already been filled with shouts and sounds of killing.
Huge shields were erected. They were made of pure iron and were not of high quality, but they were thick and large.
Each side was taller than a man, and was led by a second-level shield-sword warrior who had discarded his short sword and moved forward with his shield held high in both hands.
And if five such shields are placed side by side, they can block the mountain road.
Then, they kept moving forward at almost the same pace, and if they could go up the slope, they would reach the war fortress.
Behind them was a group of militiamen, the better ones were holding spears and round shields, while the unlucky ones were carrying ladders.
Of course, they are not the main force. The real main force is actually the knights and warriors mixed in.
In such a place, knights could not fight on horseback, so they could only fight on foot, concealing their presence as much as possible until they were at a close distance and then engaged in combat.
However, this road is not easy.
The people on the fortress are not just standing there to watch. Their biggest advantage is being able to look down on others, so they naturally have to make good use of it.
From a distance, rocks of all sizes were falling down the slope with unparalleled inertia.
As long as those second-level shield and sword warriors can't withstand it, they will be crushed to death.
A little closer, there's boiling oil and golden juice, which are poured down after boiling...
That scene, that feeling, everyone who has experienced it knows it!
If they could get to the city wall, they would build ladders and engage in close combat.
This is the time for shopping!
All you can see are the flashing of swords and the sounds of fighting. From time to time, there are also some howling, the sound of metal clashing, and roars as embellishments.
There were also ladders that overturned, blood splattered everywhere, limbs flying everywhere, and broken arms rolling down!
Fighting with cold weapons is the most brutal. After a while, the battlefield was covered with a thick layer of blood.
However, in general, although the castle side has fewer people, the canyon is so small that the number of people who need to be dealt with at the same time is limited.
Those militiamen are not a big threat. Even if they climb up to the top of the city wall, they will just die faster!
The ones who can really pose a threat are the combat professionals mixed in.
They are either shield and sword warriors, using one hand for defense and the other for daggers, fighting at close range, first defending and then counterattacking, which can pierce the internal organs.
Or a knight, wielding a greatsword, slashing and killing people everywhere, ferocious and vicious.
Only the warriors on the castle side can rush forward and stop them.
Close combat, the collision of fighting spirit, and the competition of fighting skills, the noise is much louder.
The castle was in ruins, mostly caused by their fighting.
However, if we want to pose a real threat, it will take the actions of an extraordinary and powerful person.
In order to win in one fell swoop, the Wick family sent three extraordinary people to fight in this battle.
There were two great knights, one of whom held a dragon spear, accumulated fighting spirit, and used charging combat skills to directly attack the castle wall.
It was obvious that he wanted to poke a hole in the castle.
Even if the walls of this ancient castle are thick enough, they cannot withstand the continuous attacks of a third-level transcendent.
The other great knight mastered the extraordinary combat skill [Fighting Qi Transformed into Wings]. A pair of fighting qi that looked like rippling water waves could support him to fly into the sky.
He even slashed out a series of fighting spirit blades in the air, as if he didn't care about the consumption of fighting spirit at all.
As for the last extraordinary person, he is a rare shadow assassin.
Although he did not master the skill of flying, he was light and nimble. With one hand he used a hook to cling to the cliffs, while with the other hand he held a dagger and slashed out sword energy.
Their enemy was only one, Grand Knight Vincent Ackerman.
This guy's condition is not good. After fighting for several days in a row, his face is pale, his fighting spirit is lacking, and his breathing is unstable.
But he also has his own advantage, that is his mount!
Back then, he also entered the Dome Mountains to tame a griffin.
Unfortunately, it failed, but not completely!
Because he found a rare cliff goat monster.
The level of this magical beast is not high, at most it is intermediate, but it walks on the edge of the cliff all year round, gnawing on the food growing in the cracks of the rock wall.
This allows them to move freely between mountains and forests as if on flat ground, and even to traverse steep cliffs without hindrance.
It can be said that for cliff goats, even if the slope is 89 degrees, it is just a slope and they can go up and down at will.
The biggest advantage of such a mount is that you can climb up even a city wall by stepping on the gaps.
It was also thanks to the agility of this cliff goat that Vincent Ackerman was able to move back and forth between the two mountains and take advantage of the geography to attack them unexpectedly.
Just like the Dark Night Assassin, he was also an outstanding master, but on the cliff, he had no room to display his skills.
And the Dragon Lancer, from time to time, Vincent Ackerman would drop directly onto the gentle slope and charge.
A knight, without a mount, loses half of his combat power.
He was attacked from behind at this time, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Even if it was to destroy the city wall, he would only use 50% of his full strength, for fear of being dragged down with him.
Only the knight who has cultivated [Fighting Qi into Wings] is the most difficult to deal with, but compared to Vincent, he values his life more.
After another round of fighting, the knight finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He yelled, "Vincent, Vincent, you've done enough. Is it worth risking your life for that illegitimate earl?"
"Our conditions remain unchanged. As long as you surrender, not only will you be treated as a noble, but Earl Wick will even be willing to confer a knighthood on you!"
"That's a title, a real title. It's already quite good to be able to do this. Don't be obsessed with it."
It was also when he was trying to persuade them to surrender that the cliff goat actually jumped off the cliff.
Facing this talkative knight, Vincent gathered his fighting spirit and slashed fiercely with his sword.
The Dou Qi blade was like a crescent moon in the sky, which directly shattered the Dou Qi wings and knocked the man directly to the ground.
Vincent drove his mount, and after a few leaps, he returned to the city wall.
At this moment, he was having difficulty breathing and his fighting spirit was even more severely depleted. However, he still took a strong breath.
He shouted, "Before I came here, I promised the Earl that if this fortress is safe, I will live, and if this fortress is destroyed, I will die!"
"So, stop talking nonsense. If you want to take this place, kill me! Use whatever means you have to kill me!"
"You can only cross Frost Moon Canyon by stepping on my dead body. This is what I, Vincent Ackerman, said!"
"Brothers, follow me and kill, kill, kill!"
With the final roar, the cruelty of the war reached a new level.
Here are the third updates, go to sleep!
