lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Knight's Journey!
The sky at night is not as quiet as usual, replaced by fireballs flying all over the sky and screams of killing.
The war in the city of Otis continued. After the Faustan army filled two more regiments, the Charlottes who defended the city were not as relaxed and comfortable as before.
As a soldier of the position, Faustine's two legions, a total of four soldiers, taught the Charlottes a good lesson. Tuition is their blood and life.
"The North City Gate is almost unguarded!"
"Need reinforcements!"
"Where's the magic cannon? Go ahead!"
"The reserve team is coming!"
"Rolling Stone, Rolling Stone! Don't let the Faustans come up!"
"Ah! I hit an arrow."
……
The city of Otis was chaotic. The harder the battle, the more it can reflect the actual combat capabilities of an army.
Obviously, most of the Charlottes, who were recruits, were very uncomfortable with the night battle.
The 4th Corps of the Eagle Legion has been glued up, and in cooperation with the 3rd Corps, stood on its heels under the city of Otis.
As for the battle situation of the Lions Legion, in addition to the assistance of long-range siege equipment, most of the magicians have also been transferred to the battle over there.
Cooperating with Xiaoyong's lion army soldiers, if it were not for Marquis Philip to resist with the soldiers and civilians on the front line, it would greatly increase the momentum of the Shirelo soldiers, and I am afraid that even the city gate would be lost.
The siege battle at night prevented the residents of Charlotte from sleeping well, and everyone secretly prayed that the gate would not be breached.
Betty is one of them. Her husband joined the city defense team four days ago, which allowed their family of four to enjoy three days without going hungry.
But it changed yesterday. The husband was dragged to the West Gate early in the morning, and it is said that Faustans outside the city were preparing to attack.
Damn nobles, her husband is just a newcomer who has just joined the city defense team a few days ago. What does this juncture let his husband do?
It's been almost a day and a night, and Betty can only pray that her husband is fine.
Not only Betty, many families in Otis are praying for their relatives who are fighting on the city.
It was the night. The Faustan army attacked the city of Otis five times, all of which were defended by a narrow victory by the Charlottes.
But Faustine did not return without success. Countless Charlo's defense materials were consumed, and Charlo's magical power to draw civilization was also overused.
At dawn, the four siege regiments were finally ordered to withdraw by Prince Kensell. Forcibly attacking the four corps day and night, the soldiers lost a lot of mental and physical strength.
But this is not the end, the offensive frenzy belonging to Faustine has just begun.
"The Second Corps of the Eagle Legion press!" A command from the Marquis of Mammon came.
This was discussed in advance with Prince Kensell. Since the ratio of the number of them to the Shirero who defended the city is close to 6:1, it is completely possible to use the crowd tactics to crush.
The city of Otis is a rare and hard city in Charlo, and it is located in a higher mountainous area. As the offensive side, they have no geographical advantage to borrow, so they can only fight tough battles.
Fortunately, in the five-year war, the last thing Faustan soldiers fear is fighting hard. It is shaped like the Third Corps of the Eagle Legion. This kind of miscellaneous brand can survive the first wave of siege battles, not to mention other more elite troops.
Unfortunately, the soldiers of the 3rd Corps of the Eagle Legion suffered the largest losses in this day among the four legions. After all, it is composed of aristocratic private armies, and the cooperation ability between the battalions of the Corps is much worse.
The loss of these soldiers, I don't know how many nobles' strength has been greatly reduced, and it has also removed a lot of malignant tumors and heart disease from the Marquis.
"Rock! Let's go!" Knight Will rode up to Locke at some point.
Since Locke distributed Johnson's potion to Will Knight, the relationship between the two has become much closer, and there is no separation between superiors and superiors. Rock asked Will Knight a lot of basic knowledge about knights, and Will Knight also answered them one by one, which saved him a lot of detours.
"Yes!" Locke grabbed a spear, held the sword in his right hand, and followed Knight Will.
Because it was a siege, the horses didn't have much effect, and they were all placed far away from the battlefield.
The soldiers of Camp Kedoqi began to gather in an orderly manner. They were also soldiers of the Second Corps. The troops mentioned by the Marquis de Mammen must include them.
As for the soldiers who came here to take over for them, naturally they don't have to worry about them, other troops will come.
The cavalry squadron has always been the most elite unit in their battalion. After these young men are off their horses, they are also strong soldiers of the first class. Locke has estimated that almost everyone has the strength of third-class to second-class soldiers, and the servants are almost invisible here.
Yorshak, Monte, Hans and others also began to greet their men.
"Locke? Which is Locke?" A handsome man in a black robe appeared in front of their camp that was about to open. From the image of this man holding a long staff, it is not difficult for the soldiers to guess that this should be It's a master magician. In yesterday's siege, they were the closest to the magician camp, but they saw a lot of mysterious sights emitted by magic.
"I! I am!" Hearing someone calling his name, Locke walked out of the crowd curiously.
"Hello, my name is Vegas." The man who looked like a magician didn't have the arrogance of a magician, but took care of Locke with a smile on his face.
"Hello!" Locke replied. Locke, who has been with Angelina for almost a month, can of course perceive that this is a very capable magician, at least a low-level apprentice, Locke guessed.
"This is an honorable person who asked me to give it to you." Vegas still smiled, clearly not speaking, but this voice reached Locke's ears. In addition, Locke I feel something is in my sleeve.
Loke, who was startled by this magical phenomenon with a cold sweat, stiffened his neck and nodded to express his knowledge. He didn't even notice how the items in the sleeves appeared just now, as if they appeared out of thin air. If that person uses a knife. . . Locke could not imagine.
Looking at what Locke looked like at this time, the corner of the man's mouth showed a mysterious smile, and then turned and left.
Locke squeezed the items in his sleeves, pretending to be calm. Of course he knew who gave him the things. Angelina had said that he had prepared life-saving items for him a few days ago.
Rock originally refused, but Angelina had to give it to him, and Locke had no choice but to accept it. Locke, who has some machismo thoughts, finds it difficult to accept gifts from women.
Not only that, but Locke was surprised by the mysterious technique of the magician just now. Only then did Locke know that besides Angelina's crappy magic, there were so many methods beyond his imagination.
In fact, it's not that Angelina is not good at magic, but that she hasn't reached that stage.
Magicians are different from knights. Most magicians have basic self-preservation ability only when they are low-level apprentices. Entry-level apprentices will be killed if they are approached by knight attendants and have almost no resistance. . The low-level apprentices are not the case, they have opened up enough spirit seas, they can emit most of the magic that they can support.
At that time, it was no longer a question of whether a low-level knight attendant could compete with a magician, but a situation where a low-level magic apprentice could fight several knights of the same level.
According to the mysterious method of the magician just now, there is no big problem for one person against two or three knights of Locke's strength.
Locke was not hit by the methods revealed by Angelina's men. His family knew what happened to him. A few months ago, Locke was an ordinary person. Now he has an unusual fighting strength. He is already very satisfied.
In addition, Locke felt more cautious and careful about the upcoming battle. He had not forgotten that Charlo was civilized with magical power.
Last night, he saw the beautiful magical fireworks from the gates of Charlo. He knew that he couldn't bear a single shot.
Fortunately, Locke is agile. He believes that he can have enough space to move and avoid. After being promoted to a low-level servant, Locke has greatly improved in all aspects of his physical fitness. For ordinary second-class soldiers, Locke doesn't need to be vindictive, and can balance three or four by his own strength.
After the magician left, Locke followed the soldiers methodically to the front line. The baron's order just came down, and at the turn of the morning, the fifth brigade of the 3rd Corps, which had just withdrawn from the relay, rushed up.
For nobles like Baron Kedozi, most of the siege of Otis will not participate in person. All they do is to control the overall situation in the rear. At this time, the main leader of the army is the middle of each squadron. Captain, at this time Locke and other squadron captains have no small rights.
Pinching a ring bracelet in his sleeve, Locke suddenly felt more secure. The illusion of precariousness on the battlefield before was actually eliminated by this small magic item.
Agitate with a grudge, and a two cubic meter shield will appear next to him. This is how Locke knew beforehand. This thing is not much in the entire Faustin, it is only a magic item for the royal family and the great aristocracy. Locke does not know how Angelina got him.
In fact, this is one of the life-saving items that King Faustine gave to his daughter during this period. If it weren't for the other ones that were too bloated and not easy to hide, Angelina would give Locke more.
More and more soldiers were withdrawn from the Third Corps. Most of them looked tired at this time, with one or two injuries on their bodies. There are even more severe loss of an entire arm or thigh, and a lot of the skin is burst open by the hot oil and water, which brings a lot of shadows to the soldiers of the Second Corps who are about to fight.
At the camp of Locke, the mercenary recruited by Baron Kedozi with a lot of money stood at the forefront.
They who were bought by a large number of Deler to sell their lives knew that it was time for them to sell their lives. Everyone took out their own weapons. Unlike the standard equipment of Faustin soldiers, these mercenaries have all kinds of equipment. . Weird weapons such as hooks and chains are also included.
"All ready to follow me!" The bearded leader among the mercenaries shouted.
