Chapter 230 228: Truce (Please subscribe, please vote)
After all, their numbers were insufficient, only a hundred cavalrymen, and in a narrow terrain like a war fortress, they could give full play to their abilities.
But if they were to reach a wide area or wilderness, and the Wick family's sufficient military forces were fully deployed, their numerical disadvantage would be clearly revealed.
Even with the blessing of the holy skill [Lion King], Luo Yi was not sure that he could escape unscathed, so he chose to end the battle and rest.
Although it is called a rest, there is actually a lot to do!
For example, when cleaning up the battlefield after a war, those corpses need to be dealt with in a way, otherwise it is very easy to cause a plague.
For example, when clearing the camp, the war fortresses became ruins and there were not many intact buildings.
But the survivors still need a place to stay and food to eat, so naturally the camp has to be built quickly.
Also, although the war has come to an end, it does not mean it is over, so fortifications must be built as much as possible.
Most importantly, the six magic cannons that had just been seized had to be pulled up.
Those are all powerful weapons, and in Luo Yi's hands, they can definitely play a greater role.
Luo Yi came here on a forced march and didn't bring much logistical supplies, so the subsequent arrangements were also a hassle.
After getting off his horse, Loy was led by a knight into the castle.
While he was still thinking about a solution, he turned a corner and saw a relatively open area.
There were many people lying here in all directions. If it weren't for their heaving chests, they would look like they were dead.
Most of these people had wounds on their bodies, their flesh and blood were rolling around, their armor was stained dark red by blood, and many of them were groaning.
In front of them, Vincent Ackerman also sat down on the ground.
Next to him, a mountain goat knelt on all fours, gasping for breath.
Seeing Roy coming, Vincent Ackerman was the first to stand up.
Immediately afterwards, the people behind them also stood up one after another, but some struggled for a few times and then fell back.
Luo Yi took a few steps forward, and when he got closer, he pressed Vincent Ackerman's shoulders, looked at everyone, and said, "No need to get up, sit back down!!!"
After a pause, seeing everyone looking at him, he said, "You did a great job! Very good!"
"You have defended Frost Moon Canyon and, more importantly, the glory of the Lion King. Therefore, you are the first to achieve this victory!"
“Whether alive or dead, you will all receive rewards from the Raymond family.
This is my promise as Count Raymond, remember it!"
Glancing around, Luo Yi saw an acquaintance and said, "Graeme, Graeme!"
A young man ran out. It was the messenger who had delivered the letter. He knelt on one knee and shouted, "Here I am!"
Luo Yi raised his hand and took out his dimensional bag. As the magic power surged, he took out bottles of recovery and healing potions.
"Take these potions and find a doctor to treat them. As long as they are still alive, let them all survive!"
"yes!"
Luo Yi looked at Vincent Ackerman beside him again, and after a moment of silence, he said, "What's past is past!
Grand Knight Commander Vincent, as long as you remain loyal, you will no longer have unnecessary worries."
At this moment, Vincent Ackerman's body trembled, and he suddenly felt relaxed.
The next second, he pounded his chest with his fist and said, "I will always be the pawn of the Lion King!"
When Lord Regan was liquidated, although there were legitimate reasons, do you think Vincent Ackerman was not panicked?
That's impossible!
But in this battle, he fought desperately to defend the Frost Moon Canyon, and finally got the promise he wanted most.
Luo Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go. There are still many things to arrange later!"
After all, this war fortress has undergone countless repairs over the years and is still extremely strong.
Although most of it was reduced to ruins, we still found a relatively intact house to serve as the command center.
Luo Yi sat at the top and listened to everyone's reports.
Oliveira spoke first, "The extraordinary knight I blocked was good at using the dragon spear. His strength should be at the middle level of extraordinary, and his level would not exceed LV14.
After being wounded by me, he lost his left arm and fled into the crowd!"
"Although he is not dead, his combat power has been greatly reduced!"
Beside him, a tall, middle-aged knight spoke, "The extraordinary being I stopped with five official knights, seeing that the situation was not going well, took my Dou Qi slash head-on, spread his Dou Qi wings, and escaped!
However, he must have been seriously injured by my blow."
Cody Isaac is the extraordinary and powerful person who uses green fighting spirit.
In such a large Flower Territory, it is impossible that there are only three great knights who are extraordinary and powerful.
Although many people died in the Lion Castle, extraordinary knights continued to gather when the army set out.
Cody Isaac is one of them.
Upon hearing this, Vincent Ackerman immediately said, “Of the three extraordinary beings currently gathered in the Wick family, one has a broken arm, one is injured, and the other was killed on the spot by the Earl.
At this stage, they are afraid that they can't produce any additional extraordinary combat power."
After a pause, he continued, "It's true that we don't have enough troops right now. Otherwise, this would be the best opportunity!"
Luo Yi shook his head. "Let's not talk about that for now. Let's talk about the current situation of the fortress."
Alan Wells came out and said, "Of the hundreds of knights we brought, none were killed, and only eight were seriously injured and need to recuperate.
The others can still fight!
As for the situation inside the fortress, I'll have to ask Grand Knight Commander Vincent."
Although Alan Wells is only a second-level knight, as a representative of the conservative faction, he also has status and position among the knights.
That's why you are qualified to enter this room to discuss matters!
After hearing his words, Vincent could only smile bitterly: "Before, I had thirty official knights, one hundred and twenty knight apprentices, and three hundred militiamen!
But now, now, there are only eighty-nine militiamen left, forty apprentice knights, and twelve official knights."
"In this battle, Frost Moon Canyon suffered heavy losses!"
Luo Yi calculated silently and said, "That is to say, at present, I only have about 250 people, and those with combat effectiveness have to be discounted.
Oh, and where are the prisoners?"
It was Grand Knight Commander Vincent who spoke again: "They were all imprisoned in an abandoned pit below the fortress. The exact number of people is unknown.
However, it shouldn’t be less than 500 people!”
The corners of Luo Yi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Teacher Oliveira?"
"exist!"
"You should arrange the defense, especially be careful of those who sneak up in the dark."
"yes!"
"Grand Knight Commander Vincent Ackerman, this is your territory. You are most familiar with it. The work of logistics support and battlefield cleanup will be left to you.
You have no one on your hands now, so let those prisoners move.
They stripped off their armor and weapons, gave them some food and water, and made them work, clearing the mountain roads and dealing with the corpses. All these things had to be done.
Of course, we have to prepare our own meals!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"Knight Alan Wells?"
Alan Wells said with anticipation: "My Lord Earl, this loyal knight awaits your orders."
"Take your men and bring those six magic cannons up to me. The most important thing is the shells. Be careful, they will be of great use to me."
Alan Wells wilted, but still said, "As you wish!"
"Grand Knight Cody Isaac!"
"My Lord, I am here."
“Take some of your knights with you and try to establish a line of defense.
The war fortress is almost in ruins, so we will build some defensive fortifications on the ruins as much as possible.
If there really is a major war, we'll have to rely on these fortifications to be effective!"
"yes!"
After the tasks were assigned, Luo Yi looked around and said, "We only have these few troops now. We won't attack, just defend and wait for reinforcements!"
"So, everyone, the crisis hasn't ended yet, so get moving!"
"yes!"
The sound of hammering armor with hands rang out, and everyone responded in unison, appearing unusually orderly.
Luo Yi waved his hand and let them go about their business.
He rubbed his eyebrows to relieve the pain in his head.
No one told him that excessive use of [Lion King] could actually cause headaches.
However, Luo Yi felt that it was not due to excessive consumption, but that it had lasted for too long and too much information had been processed, so that his brain was a little overloaded.
After a long while, he felt better and could no longer sit still.
He appears in various places in the castle. Although he is not very good at doing things, his presence can solve some practical problems and stimulate everyone's enthusiasm.
Since the Earl was busy as well, the knights naturally didn't dare to complain!
They were busy until the evening, when it was getting dark, torches and bonfires were lit, and then everyone had dinner!
The big pot meal was not the best, of course, but the portion was large enough and there was enough oil and water, so everyone enjoyed it happily!
Luo Yi thought he had suffered a great loss, and the Wick family had to express their gratitude!
For example, send some assassins to do something at night!
For example, organize more people to try a night attack, or come up with some other means!
But in reality, the night was very quiet and none of the preventive measures were used.
However, the next morning, when Luo Yi finished his morning exercise and was about to explore the terrain here, he received the message.
Someone from the Wick family came to discuss a 'truce'!
Luo Yi had seen the person who came before. Although it was only a one-time meeting, he still had an impression of him.
Daisy Wick, a female knight who possesses one-eighth of the Raymond family blood!
There will definitely be three updates today, and here is the first one...
