Chapter 235: 233: The war is about to start (last month's monthly ticket 1800 plus more)
Frost Moon Canyon,
Ruins of the war fortress, temporary command center.
After learning the specific battle situation of Siren Port from the third-level wizard Walter Clark, Roy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Frostmoon Canyon cannot be lost, and Siren Harbor cannot be lost even more. Both are the lifeblood of the Raymond family.
Otherwise, Count Carl Raymond would not have directly assigned the two Grand Knights of the Order of the Lion to two separate places.
Seeing that Master Walter had stopped talking, Grand Knight Commander Alfonso Zeke couldn't help but step forward and said, "My Lord Count, do you think we should dispatch more men to Siren Port?"
Luo Yi looked at him and asked, "Are there any extra knights in the Flower Territory?"
“There are no more knights, but we should be able to mobilize some militiamen and send them to Siren Port.
At the very least, it will allow Grand Knight Thor to have more manpower at his disposal."
"But now is the harvest season. If you really do what you said, I'm afraid the autumn harvest will be delayed.
If you don't make money, you'll be poor at best, but if you don't have food to eat, that's a big problem!"
"this……"
Alfonso wanted to mention the "food reserves", but thinking about Loy's previous policy, he was afraid that most of it had been consumed.
Luo Yi waved his hand and said, "Pirates are troublesome, but in the final analysis, they are just a minor problem.
Besides, I have some other arrangements, and whether they can be effective or not, I only have these few days to do it!"
"If it works, I'd like to know how those pirates react."
Seeing how confident Roy was, Vincent Ackerman couldn't help but ask, "My Lord Earl, can you tell me more about this?"
"You'll know when the time comes. Now, there's no point in saying more!"
After a pause, Luo Yi continued, "Okay, everyone, instead of worrying about things far away, it's better to resolve the war that's close at hand."
“It’s only a few days until the truce ends, and the Marquis of Carlisle is eyeing the Wick family covetously.
I will assign specific tasks now!"
"Knight Alfonso!"
"exist!"
“You are the vice-captain of the Lion Knights, and besides me, the most suitable person to lead the troops.
My order to you is to garrison Frostmoon Canyon, and Knight Vincent Ackerman will cooperate with you.
Note, I am not putting you behind the battlefield, but this is probably the most dangerous place."
"Yes, sir!"
"Master Walter, how is the training of those you brought with you going? The key to this battle may lie in you..."
“…”
“…………”
"Cody Isaac, Jarl Turner, Bill Dean, and Tanya Anderson, prepare your Knights. This battle against the Wick family Knights is..."
“…………”
…
While Loy was arranging countermeasures, on the other side, in the inconspicuous tent in the Wick family military camp, Marquis Carlisle was also handling affairs.
The magic mirror was activated again, and a vortex formed in the middle, with letters spewing out of it.
When Marquis Carlisle saw it, he couldn't help but get angry: "Pirate King? Pirate King?!
They can't even take over Siren Harbor, yet they still call themselves 'King'? These pirates are really becoming more and more incompetent!"
Mage Timo spoke the truth: "I have dealt with Ms. Palacios several times. She is an extremely powerful fourth-level Scourge Mage who specializes in water and potions.
With the help of the magic energy reserves of the Mage Tower, honestly, it's normal that those pirates can't gain any advantage! "
It had been a long time since the Marquis of Carlisle had been directly refuted like this. His face turned red and his fat face looked even more ferocious.
But the person in front of him was a fourth-level disaster wizard. He couldn't curse or kill him, so he could only grit his teeth.
Seeing this, the Pale Knight quickly spoke to help: “Actually, this is a good thing. If those pirates really landed on the shore, the damage they caused would now be the responsibility of the Raymond family.
But once we achieve our goal, it will all be our loss!"
"Now, being able to contain a Scourge Mage, a Grand Knight Commander, and cut off the Raymond family's shipping route is also excellent!"
"That's true!"
The Marquis of Carlisle took advantage of the situation and finally avoided being suffocated to death.
At this moment, a vortex flashed in the magic mirror, and two letters were spit out in succession.
The Marquis of Carlisle took it eagerly, opened it, took a quick glance, and grinned.
"There's news about the Castro and McKinley families. It won't be long, it really won't be long!"
…
Time flies by,
In a blink of an eye, the fifteen days of truce passed.
On this day, the sun was high in the sky, the sunshine was bright, and the warm breeze was blowing. It was a great time to enjoy sunbathing.
But east of Frost Moon Canyon, on the wilderness plains, flags were fluttering and the air was filled with murderous intent.
The sound of horse hooves is like thunder, the swords are drawn out with a cold gleam, and the sound of drums shakes the earth and the sky, making people's blood boil.
The two sides of the war began to deploy their troops on this plain.
Luo Yi stood at the front. On both sides of him, four extraordinary knights each led eighty official knights and about two hundred knight attendants, forming a charging formation.
The first row consisted of dragon lance knights, their dragon lances raised high and pointed straight ahead, the flashing cold light showing their sharp power.
The second row all used knight broadswords, with the blades half open, and the lower half could be held directly by hand.
This is a cross sword technique that is unique to the Raymond family and popularized by the family. It needs to be used in conjunction with this special knight's broadsword to exert its full power.
As for the second row, there are all kinds of weapons!
Knight sword skills are standard skills that almost every knight can learn.
However, not everyone likes to use swords, especially some knights who are naturally strong. Instead, they prefer heavy weapons such as battle axes, war hammers, and maces.
After charging, in close combat, these weapons have a much better armor-piercing effect than the knight's greatsword.
After all, the shock of a hammer blow alone is not something that ordinary people can withstand.
Behind the knight camp is the militia.
Two thousand militiamen formed a square formation, with their several-meter-long spears held horizontally or diagonally upward, until the entire formation looked like a hedgehog.
This is the best way to defend against cavalry charges. If the soldiers are of good quality and are determined to fight to the death, even the Knights will be defeated and suffer heavy losses!
This is recorded in historical records, but unfortunately, most of the spear phalanxes only looked okay. Facing the knights' charge head-on, they would die, so they ran away faster than anyone else!
Of course, there are not only spearmen in this phalanx, but also shield and sword warriors behind them.
If you are not a professional, you can literally hold a shield in one hand for defense and a dagger in the other for stabbing.
If the distance between the two sides is really shortened and they are squeezed together, these short weapons will come into play.
Through the gaps, countless holes can be poked in people or horses.
Further to the middle, there is another group of archers.
They all used longbows, longbows that were taller than a person. The scientific name is Sardinian longbow, which originated from the Kingdom of Sardinia.
Every time it is used, the whole body must be used to draw the bow and arrow. Its characteristics are that it is good at projectile shooting, has a long range, and has great lethality!
In those years, the Kingdom of Sardinia relied on its 6,000 archers to annihilate a knight order of the Bonaparte Empire, and other countries began to emulate it!
This team was considered a guarantee, blocking the entrance to the mountain road.
If Loy was defeated, they would have to push to the front to buy time for the Knights to regroup.
If Luo Yi wins, they will advance step by step, continuously pressing forward, clearing the battlefield, killing or capturing the remaining enemies.
These are not Loy's abilities, but suggestions from Grand Knight Alfonso!
Under normal circumstances, this is how they fight wars, based on the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years.
Anyway, the war was different from the one in Luo Yi's mind.
The Wick family on the opposite side actually also adopted a similar formation.
However, in Luo Yi's opinion, their militia was poorly trained. They gathered together in a mess, with their spears tilted all over the place, and had little deterrent power.
They had quite a number of knights, and five of them were extraordinary. Unfortunately, one of them had a broken arm and another had a weak breath.
As for Earl Wick in the front, there is no need to say more. Compared with the heroic Roy, he is just a fat old man!
Before the war, the two sides had a face-to-face exchange.
Loy rode forward, and so did Earl Wick. After the two sides got close, they started to talk nonsense as usual.
Boast about your own strength and despise the other party's weakness.
It’s a pity that Luo Yi didn’t bother to waste his time talking.
Although Earl Wick was merciless in his words, his silent lip movements were all begging for mercy, hoping that Roy would kill fewer people.
After the verbal battle, they each returned to their respective camps and prepared for a big battle.
In fact, there is nothing fancy and no strategy involved. When the horn sounds and the sad and sobbing sound resounds through the world, the war begins directly.
The Wick family still has some powerful people. An extraordinary knight burst out with fiery red fighting spirit, driving a magical beast similar to an elk under his seat, spreading the knight's halo.
Of course, his strength alone is not enough, but he cooperates with the other four extraordinary knights.
Until the colorful knight halo enveloped the entire knight order, which was when the Wick Knights were at the peak of their strength!
It’s a pity that, in comparison, Luo Yi’s side is much more ferocious.
Although the four extraordinary fighting spirits had their own characteristics, when Luo Yi's golden-red fighting spirit exploded, it covered them all.
Luo Yi is not a knight and cannot use the knight's halo, but with the power of the [Lion King], he borrowed the knight's halo of the four people and achieved the same effect.
Then, Luo Yi wiped out all his cowardice and fear, leaving only infinite courage rising in his heart.
Until the end, he finally drew out his Dawn Sword and held it in front of his eyes!
"Lion Knights, follow me and charge!!!"
The sound was not too loud, but it resounded in the hearts of every knight.
Then everyone made the same move, driving their horses, raising their weapons, and roaring.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
At this point, the war is about to break out!
