From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 147 The War Is Coming 【4K】

The setting sun is like blood, and the afterglow of the scorching sun shines on Jinsui City, dyeing this beautiful city a layer of blood.

The fierce battle has lasted for ten days. The corpses of both sides have already piled up like a mountain, the blood has already gathered into a stream, and the moat has been stained blood red.

The chief knight had long lost his old demeanor. He was wearing a broken armor and sitting on the blood-stained crenel without any image, his expression was full of exhaustion.

Under the high-intensity battles of the past few days, even with his rank of great knight, he couldn't hold on anymore. The battles seldom stopped, and only at night could the two sides usher in a short-term peace.

Looking around, the city wall is dilapidated, full of limbs and pieces of flesh, the number of casualties has already exceeded [-], and the city wall will continue to change hands every day.

The most thrilling time was on the third day of the war, when the enemy gathered superhumans and broke through the city gate in one fell swoop, and nearly ten thousand enemy troops almost poured in. He personally led the knights and soldiers to fight to the death and fought back temporarily.

Fortunately, Jinsui City, a big city with a long history and no shortage of money, already had a design in this regard. After repelling the enemy army, a metal gate fell down and sealed the city gate.

Hundreds of livestock had to pull the winches to open and lower the door, and it was almost impossible to open it again before the war was over.

Since then, the two sides have returned to the battle for the city wall again. The rebels are not afraid of pain or death. The crazy momentum is chilling, and it also caused heavy casualties to the defenders.

Fortunately, the Daniel family is not all cowards like the earl who have lost their courage. After all, it is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years and has a profound heritage.

Many old-age characters who didn't care about the world have left the customs one after another, so that they can supplement their high-end combat power, recruit nearly ten thousand militiamen to make up for the shortage of manpower, and spend a lot of money to hire all mercenaries, adventurers, vagabonds who are willing to participate in the war Knight etc.

It took a lot of patchwork to finally persist until now, but he had a premonition in his heart that Jinsui City would not last long, and the opposite side had been collecting the bodies of the war dead these days.

The rebellion has lasted for so long, but anyone with a little brain knows that this rebellion is not simple, and he knows more, the behind-the-scenes manipulator that caused this turmoil that has spread to several provinces is the Evil God Apostle Council!

He also knows some of their methods. Collecting those corpses is naturally not to restrain the remains with good intentions. Most of them are performing some kind of evil ritual. When the time comes, it will definitely be a thunderbolt.

"His Royal Highness should have received the news, reinforcements should be on the way."

The last ray of brilliance of the sun was covered by the boundless mountains, and night fell.The smell of blood was pungent, and the chief knight was not sleepy. Looking at the bright moon rising slowly, he suddenly felt endlessly confused.

After this battle, he suddenly felt that the Daniel family might not be a good choice of allegiance. Their bones had been corroded by money, and their spirits had been eroded by pleasure. They were no longer the Daniel family that relied on military exploits to make a fortune.

"After the war is over, let's go home. Speaking of which, I haven't been back for almost 20 years. I don't know how those former partners are doing."

Taking out a comb from the inner lining of the armor, carefully brushing off the dust on it, this resolute man showed a rare tenderness on his face.

This was the only thing he took with him when he left home when he was young. He had quarreled with his parents, and he ran away from home in a fit of anger, and enlisted in the Frontier Corps.After several years of struggling in the sea of ​​corpses and blood, he was valued by Earl Daniel at the time, and he was brought back to Jinsui City to be cultivated. The time has passed for decades.

He didn't know until he returned home 20 years ago that the village was plundered by horse thieves, and his family took refuge. No one knew exactly where.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that most of them are in danger, so how can they never return after taking refuge?

The day he left was his younger sister's birthday. He made this comb himself and prepared to give it to her, but he was affected by anger and ran away from home. Since then, he has been wearing it close to his body.

This incident has become a regret in his life. He often wonders, if he is at home, will the ending be different?

"Hurry up, I'll go back when I'm done with the things in front of me, and I'll wait for you to come back at home." He whispered softly with the wind, but the corners of his eyes were already moist.

"Ah, what is that?"

An exclamation interrupted his thoughts, he suddenly raised his head, and suddenly found that a thick red fog appeared in the dark night sky and shrouded Jinsui City.

"This is..." He stood up, feeling extremely uneasy in his heart, and the strange and ominous aura frightened him.

There was a sudden chaos in Jinsui City. Fortunately, an elder from the Daniel family was sitting on the tower. After seeing this strange scene, he reacted immediately. The staff in his hand hit the ground with a "boom", mouth Read a few words in silence.

A beam of dazzling light flashed, and a strong wind suddenly blew up on the city wall without warning. He was using the [Wind Breath Technique]. Although it was not difficult, it was the most suitable method at present. The red mist blows away.

The flags fluttered in the strong wind, as if a tenth-level typhoon had been set off, but the red mist was not affected at all, and slowly shrouded it.

Under the great panic, some people began to shoot arrows into the red mist privately, but it didn't have the slightest effect, after all, it was just a mist.

The magicians also tentatively released a few spells, but they didn't have any effect. It wasn't until a mysterious magician used [Purification] that the red mist was obviously restrained.

It's a pity that magicians of the mysterious department are very rare, and there are only a few of them with the background of the Daniel family, so they can't play a big role at all.

"No, this is just a drop in the bucket. We must find a way. By the way, the church!" The chief knight clapped his hands. When it comes to purifying evil spirits, the priests and pastors of the Church of the Holy Light are the best.

He hurriedly dragged a person over, and hurriedly said: "Go to the cathedral quickly, and ask the bishop to bring his priests and pastors to help us."

Unexpectedly, the man said with a mournful face: "My lord, you don't know yet, the priests and pastors of the Church of the Holy Light have already left, gone!"

This was tantamount to a bolt from the blue, and the chief knight was stunned. He had fought fiercely on the city wall for more than ten days, but he hadn't paid attention to this problem at all.

He staggered and almost fell, only feeling dizzy for a while.

"The rebels are coming up..." shouted the soldiers on the watchtower.

He probed his head, and sure enough, there were densely packed torches lit up below, like a sea of ​​orange-red flames spreading towards the city wall under the shroud of red mist.

At this time, there was no time to think too much, he raised the big sword beside him, put on the helmet, and began to command the soldiers to fight...

A cyan hurricane banner stretched its body under the bright moonlight, and under it were nearly a thousand knights riding tall hurricane wolves.

It was the most elite Hurricane Knights in the southern region. They sat on their mounts and took a short rest to recover from the physical exhaustion caused by the day and night travel.

The leader is a strong knight. His breath is as unfathomable as an abyss. It is far beyond the rank of a great knight. It is very likely that he is an extraordinary great knight, second only to a legendary knight.

A scout came to his side and said softly: "Master Deputy Commander, Jinsui City is just fifteen miles away, and a big battle is breaking out. It is estimated that the number of rebels is no less than tens of thousands. The extraordinary forces of the two sides have already started a confrontation. Obvious fluctuations can be felt inside and outside the range, and the battle situation is tragic."

"Your Highness's judgment is indeed correct, boys, the rest has stopped, the target is Jinsui City, charge!"

Seeing that the situation was critical, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately ordered to march in a hurry. At the speed of Hurricane Wolf, it took only a moment for fifteen miles...

The black-robed man stood on the tall altar, surrounded by strange bloody light, holding a bell in his hand, which was shaking in a certain pattern.

And the altar under his feet was constantly emitting red mist, and there was a faint howl like a ghost coming from inside.

The altar is surrounded by a circle of men in black robes. They are trying their best to mobilize their power to activate the altar of the demon god to continuously create red mist.

The source of these red mist is the huge pool of flesh and blood under the altar, in which more than 2 corpses collected in recent days have been piled up. They will be sacrificed to the evil god through the altar, so as to borrow the power of the evil god to take down Jinsui in one fell swoop. city.

This red mist seems simple, but it is extremely corrosive. It will disturb the sanity of creatures and endow them with strong aggressiveness.

As long as the infected creatures will be turned into ruthless killing machines, this rebel army has already been controlled by his methods and turned into puppets without emotions. Naturally, they are not afraid of the erosion of the red mist, but the defenders on the city wall are different Now, except for the supernatural beings whose mental power is strong enough to resist, mortals are almost impossible to resist.

Once contaminated, they will fall for a period of time, wielding the butcher knife to their comrades, officers, friends...

Looking at the gradually falling defense line, a sneer appeared on the corner of the black robe man's mouth. If there is no accident, the battle can be resolved tonight.

With Jinsui City in hand, wealth and flesh and blood are no longer a problem. If Teyi City is abandoned, it will be abandoned. Anyway, the value has been squeezed out. Thinking of this, he can't help but want to laugh out loud.

"When Douglas captures the city of Tei, his expression will definitely be very exciting, but it's a pity that he can't witness it with his own eyes." He thought happily in his heart.

Suddenly, he frowned, and suddenly looked at the short slope not far away, where a vast aura was surging.

The next moment, a cavalry riding a giant wolf rushed out. Their mounts were fast, and they were gradually arranged in a cone during the charge. The shining battle energy gathered together, as vast as a river, and the space seemed to be full of space. shaking.

A 5000-strong military formation set up by the rebels tried to stop their charge, but they were pierced through in an instant, leaving behind a pile of limbs and flesh, and headed straight for the altar.

The man in black's complexion changed drastically, and he blurted out, "Hurricane Knights, why did they appear here!"

"Master Executive Officer, it seems that we have to terminate the plan." A black-robed man stood up, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the power they reserved could not stop the attack of such a knight army at all, and the siege troops returned to defense. It was already too late, and winning Jinsui City was already an extravagant hope.

"What a Douglas. As expected of a veteran on the battlefield, he reacted so quickly." The man in black hated in his heart, clenched his hands tightly, and almost succeeded in his plan. An insurmountable gap.

Seeing that the vast fighting energy was about to hit his face, he didn't dare to delay, took out a scroll in his hand and tore it open, a big black hole emerged, swallowing all the people in black robes, and finally disappeared without a trace...

There is no doubt about the fighting power of the Knights. Together, they have overwhelming power, and when they are scattered, they are all like humanoid tanks, killing all directions.

Without the control of the man in black, all the rebels lost control and turned into walking corpses to be harvested by them. With the destruction of the altar, the red mist in the sky finally dissipated.

The soldiers who were killing wildly finally returned to normal. When they saw what they had done, many of them collapsed in place.

Fortunately, there were still surviving commanders who reorganized their counterattack after seeing the arrival of reinforcements. The battle lasted until dawn and finally came to an end.

The vice-head of the knights boarded the tower, and the ground was covered with blood and corpses, like a purgatory on earth. Even he, who was used to seeing death, couldn't help but feel heavy. In a short period of time, tens of thousands of people died here.

After crossing pools of blood, he finally came to a standing corpse. The corpses around him were piled up like a hill. Although his body was dilapidated, he was still waving the big sword in his hand until he died, and he did not fall down.

He could see clearly from below that the opponent defended this section of the city wall with his own strength, and finally died of exhaustion. With his strength, he could leave, but he didn't take a step back until he died.

"Because of you, Jinsui City has been guarded, so you can rest in peace." He closed his widened eyes, and the corpse slowly fell down. He hurriedly supported him, but saw a comb tightly held in his hand...

In the city of Tei, the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory held the news from the Knights, his face was gloomy, and he knew that he did not win this time.

Although the lair of the rebel army was captured and the main force of the rebel army was completely wiped out, the city of Tei was already a dead city. When the attack came in, there was no one alive in the city except the rebel army.

Jinsui City was also destroyed after this battle. Although the knights arrived in time, the city was affected by the red mist, and blood had already flowed into rivers. The formerly prosperous city was shrouded in blood.

You must know that although Jinsui City did not send troops to participate in the suppression of the rebellion, it has donated a large amount of money, food and supplies. Now the aid is naturally cut off, and the logistical pressure has suddenly increased.

The most important thing is that although many cultists have been killed, the whereabouts of the leader is unknown. He can already predict that there will be turmoil somewhere, and the war is far from over.

Sighing slightly, he said to the officers on the side: "Order, all legions take this opportunity to recover the lost ground and accumulate strength, and take strict precautions against defending.

A call-up order will be issued to the remaining nobles in Green Province to recruit nobles of barons and above to join the war. Each legion must be assembled in the spring of next year.

Tell them, war is coming! "
