City of Sin: One hundred sixty-nine soldiers under the city
Discola is a famous sea beast in the deep sea. I do n’t know how many years it has existed. It has the strength to compete with Gods. This giant crossbow named after Diskra came from the hand of a Master Alchemist dragon dwarf and took a year to complete. The power is fully worthy of such a loud name.
Like the source of Archerons equipment, this is a loot for Gordon. I do n’t know what consideration he had at the time and did not sell it. Instead, he put it on the Blackrose Castle device that was already strong in defense. It is said that it was to make up for the lack of long-range defense capabilities of the castle. After all, the catapult is very old. However, everyone doubts whether the Gordon will use it for a day in the tradition that the Archeron weak force will also attack strongly.
At the moment, this legendary giant crossbow will obviously become a very threatening obstacle on the way forward for Richard.
Discola has a range of up to ten kilometers, which exceeds the range of most magic. At the same time, it is also equipped with two crossbow arrows, also known as Legendary Level, named Deep Sea Tide and Deep Sea Edge.
A sea turbulent magic that can trigger the big area. It is extremely powerful in a coastal environment and can instantly turn flat land into a sea mud. It is the best choice for dealing with heavy armaments. The other is the power of super long range and magic tracking, which is a big killer against a single target. In addition, other crossbows equipped with Discra's Wrath also have various Magic Power.
At the moment, on the observation deck at the height of Blackrose Castle, a group of people dressed in aristocracy magnificently dressed were standing on the platform, ignoring the strong wind coming from them, and vigorously opened their eyes and looked into the distance.
In the middle is an elderly old mage. His gray hair and beard and wrinkles all show his age and physical condition. Level 14's Mana is pretty good, but at his age it is not good.
This old mage is the speaker of the family council, and he is also a jazz, with a small territory in a remote place. Such a speaker is naturally difficult to convince other lawmakers. Therefore, the parliamentarians are divided into four or five groups, standing on the observation deck, each group of people has its own core.
There are now fewer than thirty MPs left, which is much different from the size of the 70-odd people at the peak. The threat of Richard is real and effective. But these people who stayed are very attached to Marquis Sauron. If they dare to give up the status of MP, then they do n’t have to wait for Richard to come, and the marquis will destroy them first.
Although the old mage in the middle knew that his speaker ’s identity was a false title, the shelf was more than the real speaker. He blinked some sore eyes vigorously, and said solemnly in a low voice: "Take tea."
A young nobleman ran diligently, and then ran diligently back, with a cup of hot black tea in his hand, and added milk and sugar very carefully.
Many people showed contempt in their eyes, and some people even hummed out loud, but the old mage and the young nobility only saw nothing.
Those who can serve the old mage diligently can imagine how high they can be. This young man is not even a noble at all, the only identity is Mage Apprentice. But he does n’t like to wear a mage robe. He always wears aristocratic clothes and swayes everywhere. His verbal hang is always "how are our real nobles ..."
The old speaker obviously does n’t mind these problems with young people, even if there is no way to mind, because he has no one to use. His Mana makes sense, but the mage ’s other sideline businesses that can make money, including the processing of alchemy, pharmaceuticals, and magic materials are all below standard, and life is naturally embarrassing.
He took the black tea at the moment, took a sip with a full frame, and almost spouted it. The tea is too bad, too much sugar, and the milk seems to have deteriorated. But the old speaker still forced himself to swallow it, and then asked: "Shouldn't there be a caravan coming today? Why haven't you seen them yet?"
The old speaker is looking forward to the caravan, because there will be his one allocated to the supplies. As the speaker, his treatment is a little better than that of other MPs, only a little.
The young man thought for a while, and it seemed that there was indeed such a thing, and he said, "Maybe something has been delayed on the road? Did they run into Richard?"
The old speaker contemptuously said: "The owner of the caravan is Tudor Earl's nephew! Richard is nothing but a little brat with no hair. Does he dare to move the caravan?"
Young people say yes again and again, but think about it carefully, but they are not as confident as the old mage, and ask carefully: "Adult Speaker ..."
"Call me lord!" The old speaker resolutely corrected the young man's "error".
"Your Excellency Speaker! According to your foresight, can we hold Blackrose Castle? I heard that Richard is a royal Runemaster!"
"Imperial Runemaster? How about that?" The old speaker laughed exaggeratedly, attracted everyone's attention, and then sneered and said: "How long has Richard been Imperial Runemaster? An unfounded kid, Can it be compared with the real old giants? I can tell you one thing here, that is, Richard only brought 500 cavalry this time, it is 500! Why did he bring so few people, and he is a full cavalry, but also Isn't it to avoid the interception of the nobles along the way? On his way, there are Mensa, Jansen, and the army of adults Sauron and Goliath. If he takes the army, he can drive under Blackrose Castle? Think more with your brain and do n’t believe in rumors about anything! Even if Richard is really here, we have a castle, a mage, and five thousand defenders! Can he beat Blackrose Castle? This never falls Fortress! "
The old mage said that all the members of the House of Representatives nodded their heads, feeling that a dangling heart had dropped a lot. However, the young people do n’t think so. He would like to ask, has n’t Richard already announced his march route? This seems to be clear, so I ’m not afraid of someone intercepting halfway!
But the old mage's words also seemed somewhat persuasive, Richard really only took five hundred rides on the road. What is Wubaiqi enough?
After the Blackrose Castle is occupied by the family council, the system left behind by Gordon has long since fallen apart. This is no longer a well-informed place. Due to arrears of payment, the intelligence points set up by alliance and the royal family here have been removed. Some daily news, in addition to what Marquis Sauron intends to tell them, only rely on the most primitive channel of trading. Of course they can also rely on their respective families, but how much useful real news can the marginalized branch family get? .
Marquis Sauron told the MPs that there was a choice. For example, they told them that Richard brought 500 knights, but they did not tell them that 150 of the 500 knights were Rune Knight.
If you know the news exactly, then I believe that these lawmakers will immediately run away, even in the face of the anger of Sauron. This is the same reason they ignored the threat of Richard. They will find a way to escape the scourge of killing them.
The old speaker took two sips of tea and returned it to the young man. Then he tipped his toes and looked hard into the distance, hoping to see the caravan that should have appeared long ago.
He did see smoke rising at the end of the road, but it did n’t seem like a caravan. The lawmakers also found something strange, so they tried to squeeze towards the lookout and wanted to see more clearly. They also look forward to the arrival of the caravan so that two more slices of ham will be on the dinner plate.
"What is that?"
"Not like a caravan, how do you feel like a cavalry?"
"Do n’t talk nonsense! Where are the cavalry now?"
"Do you want to bet? I was a soldier when I was young."
"You have been a soldier, but you have never heard of fighting!"
Due to the clamor of the lawmakers, a young Warrior suddenly shouted: "It is a cavalry! Quickly ring the alarm!"
The scream immediately caused confusion among the members of the council. They screamed and shoved, not knowing where to run or even what to do. But the chaotic lawmakers blocked the young sentinel's road, preventing him from sounding the alarm in the first place.
The alarm bell finally sounded, and Blackrose Castle woke up from a deep sleep. It has been a long time since this ancient fortress has experienced a combat readiness alert. The Gordon's cronies have long been cleared out, leaving only some common chores. At the moment the alarm was heard, and there were crowds of people all around the castle. The exclamation, anger, and screams of women were intertwined, and all you could see was chaos.
At the moment, the defenders of the castle are actually composed of private soldiers who are scrambling together. The so-called five thousand are actually less than four thousand, and more than half are soldiers who have not been strictly trained for a long time. It is the defenders left by Gordon who really have combat effectiveness.
After the betrayal of the castle Guardian General, most of the three thousand defenders chose to become Free Archeron Warrior and left the castle. But there are still more than a thousand Warrior who ca n’t leave. They live on this land for generations, they ca n’t move their families and relatives, or they are the main labor force of the family, they need to support their families, and they ca n’t risk their lives.
However, after the family council took over, the first thing was to reduce the number and treatment of defenders.
Marquis Sauron has limited funds for them, how could it be possible to spend too much to feed these Warrior? The income of the territory is said to be retained in proportion, but the genealogy of those lords has a longer history than Marquis Sauron. Even Gordon gave them the greatest autonomy according to tradition. How could this existence of the family council allow them Pay your taxes.
Only Guardian General knows how powerful it is, and makes every effort to ensure the most basic treatment of the original more than a thousand defenders, otherwise, even these Warriors will not be guaranteed. As for the private army soldiers who are members of the family council, they are blowing up one to three, and they really want to fight in battle. They must have escaped faster than anyone else.
"Richard! It's Richard! Hurry, let the defenders go up to the walls!" In the confusion, I don't know who is in loud shout. So the lawmakers issued orders one after another, making people dizzy and dizzy.
