Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 693 The Dai Lan Family
The "Bull" class transport ship is the largest transport ship that can be used on the Adelaide Sea by Ao San Emma, ​​and each ship can carry more than 3000 people.

This is still under the premise that the people of Ao San Emma are conservative, and they have not built too many "illegal buildings" above the deck to carry people.Such a transport ship could even transport nearly 6000 people if they stacked structures on the deck that could fit people in.

They quickly approached the coast, the dragon head army flag representing Ost Emma, ​​and the flag painted with the interlaced sword and flower crest of the Dylan family to which it belonged fluttered in the sea breeze until it was close to the stranded waterline It was only when the anchor broke down that they put down small transport ships one by one to transport the soldiers ashore.

These two bull-class transport ships and these soldiers are the investment of the "Dai Lan" family, a large family in the west of Ao San Emma, ​​in this "West Conquest" war.Its current owner, Earl Barrell Dylan, personally accompanied the army to the Adlai Sea. He was standing on the deck at the bow of the ship, commanding dozens of transport ships to send the soldiers back and forth to shore.

The dense fog in the winter morning is the best cover for their landing.

The [-] private army of the Dylan family had assembled on the shore. As they expected, the people of La Rochelle did not have the energy to fortify the entire coastline.

Unless La Rochelle can be as rich and rich as O'Saint-Emma, ​​it can only guard a few important cities along such a long coastline. Ma.

These private soldiers of the Dai Lan family were not wearing ordinary enchanted iron heavy armor, but a dark leather armor that looked like metal but was actually made of wood.

This is also the basis for the Dai Lan family to be able to securely occupy one-third of an acre of land in the west among the fiercely competitive nobles in Ao San Emma.

They control a strange forest called "Paulownia Forest". The wood of this tree has excellent toughness, can effectively resist the stabbing and chopping of swords, and its protective performance can match excellent heavy armor.

And these armors are extremely light, much lighter than those simple light armors——

It goes without saying how terrifying a heavy armored fighter with the maneuverability of light armored infantry is as a breakthrough vanguard.

Standing on the land of La Rochelle, Barriel Dylan took a deep breath of the cold wind mixed with the Adelaide sea breeze. He felt that his chest was extremely smooth, and he wanted to vent all his strength immediately. on the La Rochelle army.

It took him a lot of effort to win the right to attack the coastline closest to Hylia-this means that they can go ashore earlier than other scattered ships and sweep La Rochelle earlier. army.

He could even join forces with the main force of the Hilaria Army to capture Hylia and take down the first important city in the Western Conquest.

Contributions and rewards seem to be flying in front of your eyes. The Dai Lan family has been recharging their energy for decades, isn't it for this moment?

Promoted to a marquis or even a duke, they all have their own place in the capital!
He would never think of the days of groaning on the Adlai Sea, and now he would behead those savages of La Rochelle, take their town, and take their women!
Troops as many as 6000 men began to advance.

They are arranged in several phalanxes, the left half is led by Barrell Dylan himself, while the right half is led by him, who is only 30 years old but has broken through to the professional level and is well-known in Saint Emma Son, led by Norton Dylan.

The light weight of the armor gave this heavily armored warrior troop extremely fearsome mobility. Considering that this was a foreign country after all, a land they had never reached before, Barrell Dylan still slowed down a bit for the time being.

This plain is frighteningly wide. If you really want the soldiers to advance at full speed, of course they can advance quickly, but once encountering an encounter, the army whose physical strength exceeds the normal march is easily caught off guard by the enemy——

Barrell Dylan studied under the commander of the Hilaria Legion 25 years ago and severed his finger Rowell O'Brien. Although he returned to the family after graduation and had not experienced many wars, but when he was in the academy Don't just forget what you've learned:

"The attack must be violent, but the violent attack is to catch the enemy by surprise, not to give the enemy an opportunity to—"

"An excellent commander should have a clear understanding of the strength of his troops, what kind of opponents you face can gain an advantage, and when and where your troops can appear! Knowing these, you can complete Excellent offense!"

These words are like knowledge points that have been copied twenty times and twenty times, as long as he leads the army, they will come to mind.

"Father." His son interrupted his thinking, he looked at his son's heroic and excited face, the latter's impatient expression revealed his thoughts.

"Norton, don't be too impatient." He said to his son.

"Father!" Norton knew that his thoughts had been seen through by his father, but he couldn't help but said: "According to the map, we are very close to the marked 'Rock Fort'!"

"Rock Fort?" Barrell's previous focus was on major cities such as Hylia and Parkri, and he really didn't remember the place Norton mentioned for a while.

"right here!"

The map was held up in front of him, and a key area was circled in red ink: "Father, look, this is such a critical place, as long as it occupies this place, no La Rochelle troops will be able to do anything." From the plains to Hylia, you can only go around the forest!"

"Oh?" Barrell took a closer look and found that what Norton said was indeed correct.

"Since it is such an important fortress, the next battle should be very difficult..."

"No, father, I've checked it!" Norton spoke very fast, wishing he could speak out all his thoughts, "Stone Fort is a 'semi-finished' fort unique to Amasiel, and its own protection is extremely poor. Only when the mage arrives can we take complete protective measures."

"But we only started our preliminary attack yesterday. How could the people of La Rochelle have imagined that our troops would be able to penetrate so quickly the next day? This Rock Fortress is like a small village now, and it can't hinder us at all!"

"You've done enough homework." Barrell couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing Norton's words.

His son is more aggressive and impulsive. In the past, he was just a reckless man with outstanding personal force.And now that he can show such a meticulous observation ability, it is undoubtedly a great improvement for him.

"Then, father..."

"In this case, lead your troops to attack, and I will meet you from behind..." Ba Ruier still doesn't know what his son's plan is?He simply agreed to his request, looked around, and then pointed to a general, "Lieutenant Barlow, follow Norton and attack with him."

"My subordinate understands!"

A tall and strong general stood up. Lieutenant Barlow was one of the top generals in the Dai Lan family's private army. He was a general of the Northern Expeditionary Force of Ost. Emma before and made a lot of military achievements.

It was only later that he was kicked to the west of Alma St. Emma because of a drinking mistake. It was considered a mistake by Barrell before he was included in the family's private army.

"Uncle Barlow." Norton Dylan was overjoyed——

With his father supporting him so much, this Zhengxi's first military achievement is about to fall into his own hands!
He quickly returned to the front of the troops he was leading, drew out the long sword at his waist, and pointed forward: "Tongjiawei listen to the order!"

"In the name of divine justice, clear away those untouchables who are burdened with the blood of crimes, praise my name Dai Lan, follow me - charge!"

They advanced rapidly, and soon overtook the part of the army led by Ba Ruier beside them.The vision became clearer and clearer, and soon Norton Dylan saw a shabby castle not far away——

It was too shabby, and it looked short and small, like a tower of the small dilapidated castle of the lord of Ost Emma, ​​which made Norton laugh:

What is the difference between the barbarians of La Rochelle and the barbarians of the North?There is no difference at all!
Relying on his professional strength, he can break through such a fortress by himself!
"Uncle Barlow!"

He shouted to the middle-aged general beside him, and the latter nodded immediately, "Young master, you can go and charge with confidence, I will hold the line for you."

Norton was overjoyed, bursts of thunder lighted up around him in an instant, and crackling electric arcs shone beside him——

His route to the professional level is "Thunder and Lightning Possession". In this state, his speed and strength will be blessed by lightning. The power of every move is definitely not something that professional level fighters can easily resist. !

During the two years ago when he traveled in the country of St. Emma, ​​he had already established himself as the "Western Lightning Sword Master". His next goal was to get rid of this "West" and become the "Sword Master" who had a reputation resounding throughout the whole of St. Emma. Thunder Sword Master"!
Like a lightning bolt, he rushed towards the "Rock Fortress" not far away.

Getting closer, getting closer, Norton could clearly see the fragile walls of the fort... It seemed that there were figures in robes walking back and forth outside the walls?What is that, Earth Elemental Mage?

Barbarians like La Rochelle are able to foretell and garrison here in advance?

The thought of astonishment was fleeting, but he quickly discerned that among the magical aura ahead, there wasn't even a breakthrough professional level!

"Tch! A bunch of rotten fish and shrimp!"

In this case, let's simply take these people across the city and hack them together!
The long sword in Norton Dailan's hand was covered with a layer of bright thunder, and then he jumped up, and with the support of the thunder element, he flew high in the air.

In the gloomy sky, he was like a dazzling sun of thunder and lightning, shining on the entire Rock Fortress.

----------

The young Marquis was standing on the city wall, watching those unskilled earth elemental mages build the city wall.

For him who has been thinking for a long time and overuses his brain, this is undoubtedly a leisure and decompression thing: neither Lewis Zimmerman nor Amy Harper participated in the construction of the city wall here, but put these Let them bring the apprentice mage to complete.

These mages are still very clumsy, chattering non-stop to the blueprint, raising a wall of earth for a while, pushing it down again for a while, and then began to question the blueprint:
"Oh, oh, is it wrong to draw it here? Why does the earthen wall I built look different?"

"The size of this place is wrong, the data is marked wrong, and built according to this data, shouldn't there be a big gap?"

The outer part of the outer city on the south side of Rock Castle was built and pushed, pushed and built under such disputes, just like those students who were tortured by math problems in the previous life, wrote and calculated and wrote on the draft paper, finally I thought of starting to answer on the answer sheet, but halfway through writing, I found that my thinking was all wrong——

Cyril looked at it with great joy.

The Amasir troops stationed in the Territory of Etland are constantly coming here. Under the deduction of him and Atsk, it is very important to defend Hylia.

Hylia has a special geographical location. As the only city in the Adler region that extends into the forest area along the coastline, it connects to the Sea Peach Clan of the elves.

At this time, the people of St. Emma had an absolute advantage in the Adelaide Sea. If they wanted to stop the attack of the people of St. Emma, ​​they had to cut off their way of origin.

The position of Hailia and the Haitao clan is the seam where they are most likely to attack from the rear and encircle Ost Emma's fleet.

Although the counterattack against the Ost Emma on the Adlai Sea is destined not to happen in the early stages of the war, but in the middle or even the end of the war, it is still crucial to defend Hylia.

What's more, according to their calculations, the people of Ao San Emma are about to launch a full-scale attack, and the timely distribution of troops here will also help share the pressure on the two cities of Parkri and Hylia, so that the people of Ao San Emma cannot attack all at once. Control a large area.

He was watching those sorcerers building walls, his pointed ears moved inexplicably, and soon caught the sound of chaotic footsteps from the wind:

"Hmm...there are a lot of people, about a few thousand? This march is very fast, is it a light armored infantry unit? The people of Osan Emma are actually launching an attack right now, isn't it a bit too impatient?"

"Huh? Part of it started to speed up? This is the discovery of the Rock Fort, are you going to solve it quickly?"

"Ah, why is there another one running faster and faster—this aura...professional level?"

He calmed down, the crackling hot electric current flowed into his ears along with the wind, making him narrow his eyes involuntarily:
"This is pinching us like soft persimmons, trying to break the city alone..."

Cyril slowly put his hand on the hilt of the sword.

At the same time, there were a few footsteps behind them. Both Lewis Zimmerman and Amy Harper noticed this strange flow of magic power. They were about to report to Cyril when they climbed the city wall, but saw the young man The Marquis had already held down the long sword at his waist.

And above the castle, a thunderbolt was shining.

He squinted his eyes slightly, staring directly at the bright thunder light, and let out a soft "tsk" from his mouth.

"It's far worse than Sugel."

Then he unsheathed his sword.

The blue wind spread all over the sky on top of the rock castle.
