“So, we’re at a stalemate right now.”
In the room inside the tower, several witches still did not move. To them, several years passed in the blink of an eye.
Chris looked at the chessboard divided into several camps of different colors, and played with her hair a little bored.
Originally, she thought that several witches on her side would work together to stop or test Loran Hill, but she didn't expect that as things developed, some internal disagreements arose.
First of all, we have to talk about Kornos. This witch is the youngest and the most mischievous one in their faction. Her interference this time also disrupted the plans of the others.
"It's a bit boring." Chris was like a fish in water, blowing bubbles and talking about the boredom of life.
"Should Si Ye intervene? If this stalemate continues, it feels like the empire will soon fall apart."
"It has split up, right?" Tidaisi said with a hint of venom. The Phantom Witch seemed to be in a much better mood recently and was drinking coffee peacefully at the moment.
Seeing that Si Ye was still paying attention to the situation on the chessboard and did not answer her, Chris could only lie down on the sofa beside her in frustration. She wanted to go out and play.
"What about Aihekatri? I see that you don't seem to be worried at all. Have you let it go?" Tidaisi turned her gaze to the twin witches beside the chessboard. The other party was leaning back in the chair. Although her eyes were looking at the chessboard, her thoughts seemed to fly somewhere else.
"...Me, I guess." The Twin Witch didn't seem to worry about these things, or perhaps the current situation was not enough for her to worry about.
The room fell silent again. Chris got up and went to the top of the tower to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. At this time, the chessboard that had been stagnant for a long time began to change again.
Imperial capital, Tittanya.
After several months of stagnation, the Griffin Army in the West launched another large-scale attack. This time, the Duke of Raven also responded, and the two sides seemed to have reached some kind of reconciliation and tacit understanding.
There was continuous artillery fire and gunfire. The giant marble white lion rammed the city wall like a chariot, breaking open the temporarily repaired part again.
After the breach was opened, the allied forces from the western border poured into the city like a tide, and the sounds of shouting and fighting were everywhere.
In the sky, the flying war dragon and the griffin riders were fighting fiercely, and their scorching breath swept across the sky like pillars of light from time to time.
At the same time, the Northern Allied Forces also began to take action.
Pale skeletons struggled to rise from the ground and piled up layer by layer under the city wall like living things, until a giant staircase of bones was formed.
No matter how the defenders on the wall bombarded, used explosives, or used magic, the ladder made of bones continued to repair itself, until the soldiers from the north surged up like a tide and fought with the garrison on the wall.
Under attack from both sides, Titaneia gradually became precarious. The garrison in the city had to retreat step by step in the face of enemies that outnumbered it by several times.
Various emergency signals continued to rise, reporting the loss and defeat in various places.
Just as the city was about to be breached, a tremor came from the distant earth. The blood-red rose flag fluttered, and a group of cavalry rushed out from behind Tittanya and charged into the Northern Alliance army that was attacking the city, cutting off their momentum to enter the city.
On the ground with flying snowflakes, the heir of the Duke of Raven, Elon Trey, stood on his horse and looked at the tens of thousands of cavalrymen who suddenly rushed out in front of him.
"I didn't expect you to show up. Darcy, what makes you so loyal to the new emperor?"
"However, I am no longer interested in this question." Without waiting for the other party to answer, he waved his hand, and the Raven Knights behind him rushed out and headed straight for the battlefield ahead.
These Raven Knights were clad in blue-black metal armor, with black feather-like cloaks behind them, which made a loud noise as they accelerated their charge, dancing with the wind and snow.
As the direct guards under the command of the Duke of Raven, these Raven Knights are well-equipped and are composed of extraordinary people above Sequence Five.
They are equipped with kite-shaped anti-magic shields with the raven emblem, black dream lances, armor-piercing crow's beaks, and soul-killing javelins, which can adapt to various combat scenarios. They are the strongest city walls and iron walls in the history of the North.
After these Raven Knights rushed out, they collided directly with the Rose Knights in the front. Both sides were the most elite knight orders in the empire, and the battle entered its most intense stage from the beginning.
First, the two sides charged at each other. The front row was directly pierced by each other's lances and fell off their horses. After getting close, the Raven Knights took off the armor-piercing crow's beaks at their waists and smashed them at the knights who were close to them like hammers.
Even though the armor of these Rose Knights was meticulously crafted by the Empire's skilled craftsmen, it was still pierced by these specialized armor-piercing weapons.
The sharp and heavy hoe tip, like a crow's beak, pecked through the armor and nailed it into it. The Rose Knights, who disdained to use such ugly weapons, could only try to stab with swords to attack the enemy's sturdy armor, but this was naturally far less efficient than those of the Raven Knights.
The nobles in the central part of the empire have lived in peace for too long. Even though they have abundant resources to build up their strength, they are inferior to these knights in the north in terms of actual combat experience.
The situation began to turn in favor of the Raven Knights of the North. One by one, the Rose Knights had their helmets smashed off, fell down with blood on their heads, and were then trampled by the horses' hooves on the battlefield.
Amidst the chaos, Darcy became the mainstay in the turbulence. Holding a gun in one hand and riding a horse in the other, he fought his way in and out of the battlefield, struggling to maintain the situation.
Seeing this, Elon also picked up his lance and rushed towards the brave enemy general.
The trajectory of the gun blade and gun body in the air was a straight line, unbiased, like a meteor passing by, directly rushing towards the figure on the battlefield.
