Chapter 242: Battlefield Assassination (Subscription Request)
When Loy arrived with the Lion Knights at the ruins of the war fortress, Alfonso Zeke and Vincent Ackerman immediately became bolder.
They were no longer satisfied with cleaning up the battlefield, but instead cleared a mountain path and began to build positions at the foot of the path.
This time, they had enough numbers. Loy left behind one hundred official knights, three hundred knight apprentices, and nearly two thousand militiamen for them.
This is a relatively sufficient force.
They even moved their camp to within less than 400 meters of the Carlisle family's military camp.
This distance is very close and very clever.
Because, in terms of long-range attacks, the effective range of the Sardinian longbowmen is about three hundred meters.
Although there are many powerful masters and warriors who can break through this limitation, their number is absolutely extremely small.
But the range of the magic cannon is far beyond that.
As soon as this camp was established, the third-level extraordinary wizard Walter led his fellow junior brothers and sisters and enthusiastically placed one magic cannon after another from the rear camp to the front camp.
After all, these people are not magic gunners who learned from scratch.
They have knowledge, learning, and even magic. After a lot of practical training, they have accumulated a lot of experience.
This time, they almost did everything by themselves, including moving the magic cannon, installing it, cleaning it, and debugging it.
It can be predicted that if there are a few more major wars, they will become qualified gunners.
The enthusiasm displayed by a group of magicians at this moment was completely unlike the keep-out attitude that magicians should have.
Moreover, Walter also understood the yin and yang of people. He actually turned the two catapults of the Carlisle family around and faced them towards the central military tent of the Carlisle family.
The six magic cannons dotted around were spoils of war from the Wick family.
The entire artillery position, with its half-new and half-old appearance, is extremely eye-catching at first glance.
Grand Knight Alfonso took great care when building this camp.
Knights were sent to patrol almost day and night, and there were many guards around. He and Vincent took turns guarding, fearing that the Carlisle family would send someone to launch a sneak attack.
From their perspective, this is almost inevitable.
This is because if this artillery position is completed, part of the Carlisle family camp will be included in the attack range.
As long as there is still someone in charge of the Carlisle family, they will definitely be extremely anxious!
But what was strange was that the Carlisle family defended their camp so tightly that no one could get in or out, but they didn't send anyone to destroy it.
As for the other side, Luo Yi was not in a hurry to launch an attack!
It was not just that the artillery position needed to be rebuilt, but also because he was waiting for the knights under his command to recover and for the main force to arrive.
He came at full speed with the Knights, but the main force was left behind, not only the militia but also the logistical supplies.
Moreover, the knights were exhausted after a long journey and a series of battles.
Therefore, when the advantage lies with me, Marquis Carlisle is not in a hurry, and Roy is even less so.
This confrontation between the two sides lasted for more than ten days. There was no major war, but various small-scale frictions continued.
In particular, the covert battles between the legion scouts seemed to be quite frequent.
Various confusing news also came one after another.
There is the magnificent forest and the situation of the Castro family; there is the Moonlight Castle and the letter from Grand Duchess Afra.
And on the Silver Sea, the Mist Pirates are retreating!
No one expected that before Loy could actually make a move, he just used a small trick to let the Habsburg Empire's ironclad ship take action once, and the seemingly mighty pirate alliance was dispersed just like that!
Until the news came, Luo Yi was still a little confused, and he had a new understanding of how useless the pirates were.
But none of this matters anymore!
The important thing is that everything is ready and Luo Yi is not going to wait any longer.
…
On October 28, 312 of the New Divine Calendar, the weather was overcast and a cold wind blew, but it could not blow away the solemn atmosphere of the battlefield.
boom!
There was a cannon shot, but the location was off, and it exploded at the gate of the Carlisle family camp.
No one was hurt, but the entire camp was completely blown up.
Countless knights of the Carlisle family gathered, and countless militiamen took up their weapons, ready to fight!
The gate opened, and the Marquis of Carlisle put on a large set of knight armor, drove his warhorse, and walked out of the camp gate.
And Luo Yi had already been waiting in front.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and they saw each other.
Unlike Loy's high-spirited look, although Marquis Carlisle had taken care of his attire, he couldn't hide his red eyes no matter what he did.
Ten steps away, Roy reined in his horse, looked at Marquis Carlisle, and said directly, "Surrender and save some dignity for yourself."
"Dignity? If I lose to a bastard like you, what dignity can I have left?"
Marquis Carlisle roared hoarsely, "I can even imagine how I will be ridiculed by those nobles after this battle!
That is not what a marquis like me should endure, so I will fight you to the death!"
Luo Yi's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, but his expression was unusually cold: "You seem to have forgotten that all this was instigated by you!
It's not just this battle, it also includes the destruction of the Lion Castle and the demise of the Carl Raymond family!"
"You haven't forgotten all of this, have you?"
The Marquis of Carlisle was shocked, and he almost roared, "You knew? You actually knew? Who told you?"
"Don't worry about who told me this, just know that it's a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood.
Today, in this battle, the Carlisle family will pay a huge price!"
Marquis Carlisle's face twitched, but he seemed to have thought of something and grinned, "Since you know everything, then you should know what kind of terrifying force the Raymond family is facing?
So, what if you beat me? You will die sooner or later! You will die! "
"Then we'll just have to wait and see. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to see this scene again!"
Roy could feel that the Marquis of Carlisle was already a little hysterical at this moment.
He no longer wanted to waste words on such an enemy, so before he finished speaking, he drove his horse away.
Marquis Carlisle stared at Loy's receding back with resentment. If looks could kill, Loy would have died many times.
But in the end, he drove his horse back to the camp.
Woo woo woo!
As soon as he returned to the army, Luo Yi waved his hand, and naturally the drummer blew the horn, and the sobbing sound resounded through the world.
As the order was given, the roar of magic cannons was heard.
Flames and smoke rose, accompanied by screams and roars, and one shell after another hit the Carlisle family's camp directly.
Obviously, war is the best opportunity for improvement. These magic apprentices under Walter even learned Xu Jing's barrage style without any guidance.
Starting from the west gate of the camp, every time a cannon is fired, the muzzle angle is slightly adjusted to ensure that the landing point of each shell is pushed forward a little.
According to Alfonso Zeke's idea, Marquis Carlisle must organize a charge!
At least they should find a way to destroy the artillery positions, but in reality, they retreated very decisively!
Or, he escaped very easily!
The north gate of the camp was opened, and first the militia poured out like a tide, and then the knights drove their horses to gallop.
The range of the magic cannon was limited after all. Although it destroyed nearly half of the army camp, it also killed many people.
The inconvenience of mobility is also a major flaw. When it reaches the limit of its range, it stops.
However, the Carlisle family army that swarmed out also encountered their own enemies.
The horses' hooves trampled the ground, the war horses galloped, the roar shook the earth, and the Lion Knights rushed out like a torrent.
Luo Yi was still at the point of the arrow, and he still activated the secret sacred skill [Lion King] without hesitation!
At this moment, almost all the Lion Knights felt unparalleled courage surging in their hearts.
They seemed to hear the voice of the Lion King, directing their battle!
This time, the Marquis of Carlisle put the militia at the front, and they formed a square formation.
With shields for defense and spears like a forest, he looks like a hedgehog!
Koloy didn't pause at all, and the golden-red fighting spirit covered the entire knight group. After drawing enough fighting spirit, he threw out nine Gale Ten Slashes in one breath.
It is hard to imagine the horror of such a scene. It was as if in an instant, hundreds of fighting spirit slashes exploded out of thin air, like a huge torrent, surging towards you.
It should be said that the Marquis of Carlisle did not simply send them to their deaths.
Magic scrolls were torn into pieces one after another, and the visible elemental power rippled and turned into shields rotating in the void.
Those shields were also very unique, there were eighteen of them, blocking in mid-air, and flashing with the power of thunder.
Eighteen Thunder Shields, a very rare large-scale combination defensive magic.
Because of the great loss, some magicians separated them and drew them on eighteen magic scrolls.
The most suitable place for "large-scale magic" is, of course, the battlefield.
These eighteen thunder shields are enough to withstand most impacts. Not only can they deflect attacks, but they can also cause paralysis and stun effects with thunder.
However, under the impact of hundreds of Dou Qi slashes, it was finally like a dam under a flood.
Although you hold on with all your might, there will be a day when you will be completely destroyed!
The spear phalanx at the rear was as fragile as tofu when facing the Dou Qi Slash.
Then, the knights charged and rushed straight in. Wherever they passed, they knocked, crushed, and trampled the militiamen to death.
It can be said that they were extremely loyal, as they used their flesh and blood to block the charge of the Lion Knights.
However, this kind of obstruction is ultimately like an ant trying to shake a tree, and is a joke.
Their only purpose was to allow the knights of the Carlisle family to run a longer distance.
However, the knights of the Carlisle family were not all fools. They knew clearly that they could not escape.
So, after creating a certain distance, they turned around and drove their war horses, continuously increasing their speed!
After all, they used the militia phalanx just to delay the charge of the Lion Knights.
If they encounter an ordinary knight order mixed with militia, without the speed of charging, they will probably suffer a great loss.
But now it is the Order of the Lion, the Order of the Lion presided over by Loy.
With a thought, the knights, who had been somewhat scattered, immediately gathered together. With the blessing of the [Lion King], the war horses seemed to have been hit by a "group frenzy" and increased their speed to the maximum in a very short time.
It was another clash of knights, just like the knights had been galloping across the battlefield for countless years.
But the result is still destined!
With the help of the [Lion King], Roy crushed the Carlisle Family Knights, just like he had crushed the Wick Family Knights before.
The only difference is that the Carlisle family's knights are indeed more powerful. They can even survive the repeated attacks of the Lion Knights without collapsing.
Finally, the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle again, and the vast battlefield was filled with knights fighting against each other.
At this moment, five fireballs suddenly exploded in front of Luo Yi and swept over, as if to completely submerge him.
Level 4 natural disaster, Mage Timo finally took action!
Second update is here!
