From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 172 The Road to Escape【4K】

At this moment, Ryan still doesn't know that when he was possessed by the Oscar winner, the entire Tert County has undergone earth-shaking changes. With the blockade plan proposed by Earl William as the main body, almost all cities that are key hubs have taken place. turmoil.

The source of the turmoil was Earl William, who held a heavy army. No one thought that this legendary nobleman would make such a choice.

You must know that his family has royal blood. Although it is very rare and long-standing, it cannot change this fact.

The vassals under Earl William began to seize the city at night. Many nobles defending the city buried their troops before they could react. Some became prisoners, and some paid their lives.

In Balder City, Viscount Gabriel also brazenly launched a rebellion, and his army attacked the residences of other nobles with lightning speed.

Since the Linton County Legion, one of the main forces, was not in the city, the army under Viscount Gabriel attacked extremely smoothly. With the internal and external cooperation of the secretly cultivated forces, Bald City fell in just a few hours. .

The battle killed people's heads, blood flowed into rivers, and the blood that soared into the sky seemed to cover the bright white moon with a layer of blood. The entire Turt County, sleepless tonight...

"Master Viscount, everything has been dealt with." A figure quietly came to Gabriel's side, his tone was calm, but his body carried a faint smell of blood.

With his hands behind his back, Gabriel heard the screams outside gradually disappearing, and said indifferently: "Then let's begin."

The figure hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Are we really going to do this? After all, this is our base camp. Doing this is self-destructive."

Gabriel paused for a moment when he heard the words, he turned around, stared at him coldly and said: "This is the order of the Earl, we cannot overthrow the thief on the throne with our strength, we must use Their power, don't forget our mission!"

The figure trembled in his heart, and immediately retreated under the command. The next moment, the screams reappeared, this time in various places in the city. That night, Gabriel's army killed from the south of the city to the north of the city...

It was almost noon when Ryan and the others leisurely rushed back to Balder City. Looking at the city that was getting closer, Ryan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Although everything on the city wall looked normal, and the soldiers and flags hadn't changed much, he always felt that what he saw was no longer a city, but like the mouth of a giant beast that had been dormant for a long time.

He has always trusted his intuition. Although there was no warning this time, he still chose to believe, and the footsteps of the horse under his crotch stopped half a mile away from the city.

"What's wrong?" Allen and the others looked at him strangely.

"I feel something is wrong, do you smell blood?" Ryan frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

"The smell of blood?" Allen and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, their tone full of surprise.

"It seems there is." As an elf, Xiyue's perception is more acute, and she can feel the thin smell of blood in the air.

Just when Ryan was hesitating, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and Viscount Gabriel greeted him with a smile on his face, and he apologized: "I'm really sorry Baron Blake, I know about the attack on Baron Brace Thank you so much, I will report everything you have done to Earl Donald."

After seeing Gabriel, the doubts on Ryan's face eased a little, but thinking of all the weird things before, he still kept his eyes open and said with regret: "This is what I should do, but it's a pity that Baron Blaise Unfortunately, he died in battle."

Gabriel seemed surprised. He was silent for a while before he said, "Let's go into the city. A rebellion broke out in the city last night. It's not advisable to keep the city gate open for too long. Let's go in and talk."

'Rebellion? Ryan's heart moved. If this is the case, it can explain why there is a bloody smell. He relaxed a little in his heart, and asked curiously: "Who is so bold, what about the loss?"

"A small group of unknown enemies attacked, and there were some losses. I can finally feel at ease when you come back." Gabriel seemed to be a little scared, and said with lingering fear.

Ryan nodded, Gabriel didn't see any problems in his answer, and thought to himself: "Maybe I'm thinking too much." '

Thinking about it, he commanded the army to prepare to enter the city. Gabriel was very talkative today, telling him about the dangers of last night, and what he said was to ask him to jointly write the battle report.

Ryan knew in his heart that he wanted to exaggerate the facts and let him be the witness. Anyway, it had no effect on him, so he was naturally willing to be a favor.

The two moved forward talking and laughing, and when they were less than a hundred meters away from the city gate, the soul-devouring ring in his hand suddenly glowed faintly, and Ryan could clearly feel that strands of soul power were being absorbed by the ring .

He didn't pay attention at first, after all, Gabriel said that a battle broke out in the city, and soul power would naturally be generated when someone died, which was normal.

But soon he realized that something was wrong, these soul powers... were too much, so much that he even shuddered.

The soul-devouring ring didn't absorb soul power once or twice, especially in the previous battles, which one didn't absorb a four-digit soul power?
This time it is completely different. If the soul power absorbed several times before is a small stream, but this time it is like a big river flowing endlessly. The Soul Devouring Ring has absorbed it for so long and it is still pouring in continuously .

If thousands of deaths are just a small stream, how many people must die to be like a big river?
Ryan suddenly felt shuddering, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He looked at the smiling Viscount Gabriel next to him, stopped in his tracks, and suddenly said, "How many people are still alive in the city?"

A dubious expression appeared on Gabriel's face at the right time: "What are you talking about?"

His acting skills are very good, and he looks seamless without any flaws.But Ryan would no longer be deceived by him, he quietly gestured to Xiyue and the others, which meant warning.

Ryan was about to scramble and procrastinate for a while, but he didn't expect that Viscount Gabriel, who was still smiling at the last moment, suddenly made an attack. With a wave of his big hand, three bright long silver needles were immediately aroused from the narrowed cuffs, showing a vigorous fighting spirit When it broke out, the strength of the great knight rank was fully revealed.

Fortunately, Ryan had already raised his vigilance, and a diamond-shaped light shield appeared in front of him in an instant. The light shield flashed when the silver needle hit it, and he persisted tenaciously.

It was only at this time that Ryan was surprised to find that the other party was actually using a hidden weapon. This was the first time he had seen it in so many years. The nobles in this world still have such a bit of integrity. They rarely attack in battle, not to mention the dirty method of hidden weapons. .

Seeing that he missed a hit, Gabriel didn't like to fight, and retreated to the city. Although he was a great knight with good strength, once he was caught in the crowd, there was little hope.

"Leave!"

With a soft shout, the bow in Xiyue's hand trembled again and again, and arrows blocked all Gabriel's escape routes.

But the opponent had already prepared for it, and a majestic knight phantom appeared behind him, swung his sword and swept away all the arrows, and then fled back to the city neatly.

"[Legend is coming]" Ryan whispered softly, this is the iconic combat skill of the great knight, and he can only barely use it at present.

He stopped the people who were about to continue chasing, and said calmly: "The poor should not chase, cover and retreat."

Most people haven't understood the current situation, and the benefits of Allen's strict military discipline are reflected at this moment. When he gave an order, the bewildered soldiers still carried out his order perfectly. The rear team changed to the front team, quickly and quickly. Steady cover retreat.

Although the army under the command of David and Bella performed poorly, they still reacted, but they were a little confused.

Sure enough, the next moment, densely packed soldiers came out of the city, and the soldiers on the city wall also started to attack them.

Fortunately, they had retreated a certain distance, and most of the attacks on the wall had no effect.

Seeing such a quick reaction in the city, Ryan's back suddenly burst into cold sweat. If he entered the city, he would have been torn to pieces by now.

"Don't love to fight, retreat immediately!" Ryan took out his bow and arrow to fight back, and ordered the troops to evacuate quickly.

But Gabriel wanted to get rid of them wholeheartedly, so he could only make one-handed preparations. Seeing that the plan to invite the king to enter the urn failed, he immediately launched a backup plan-surrounding them on all sides.

Before the troops of Ryan and others ran a mile, teams of rebels came out from all directions, including the wave of bandits who attacked Hongye Town.

Seeing the posture of a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, Baron John's face turned pale with fright, and he had to follow Ryan hastily, a little at a loss.

Seeing that he was about to be surrounded, Ryan exercised his rights as the deputy commander in time, and shouted: "The fourth battalion is in front, the fifth battalion and the sixth battalion will follow up, protect the baggage, and fight from the southwest!"

What he called was the formation of the legion, which was everyone who ordered it. At this time, it was naturally impossible for David Bella and John to jump out and fight for the command, and they both consciously led the troops to cooperate.

The fourth battalion, that is, the soldiers of Ryan's headquarters, gathered forward at this moment. Allen took the lead and shouted: "The cavalry is ready to charge!"

The horses neighed, and nearly [-] cavalrymen became the spearheads of the whole army to break through. Under the leadership of Calvin, Levi's and others, they rushed to the weak southwest.

But the rebels reacted quickly and immediately increased their troops to supplement the encirclement. Archers and spearmen were also ready.

They are not rebels who have become monks halfway, they are serious private troops of nobles, and their combat effectiveness and fighting methods cannot be generalized.

"Let the arrows, let the arrows!"

Arrows shot out one after another, hanging down in an arc in the air, and below them, the cavalry were silently charging with a small round shield in one hand and a spear in the other.

The dense arrows took the lives of many soldiers, and the courageous combat skills played a role at this moment, allowing them to continue to charge forward.

The speed of the cavalry was so fast that they came to the front of the army formation where the rebels were waiting in full force almost instantly. A hammer-like object suddenly appeared in Allen's hand, and after a lot of tinkering, he threw it out with all his strength.

Crystal bombs immediately bloomed in the center of the rebel army. The tragic scene made their troops panic. The cavalry rushed in, and soon killed a trail...

It was already two days later when Ryan and the others completely got rid of the pursuit, and the original team of more than 4000 people was reduced by more than a quarter, leaving less than 3000 people.

With a tired face, Ryan ordered the army to temporarily set up camp by the river to build a meal. Even he felt tired after the long escape and killing, let alone the soldiers under his command.

Just holding some water to wash his face, Allen, covered in blood, came over and said in a deep voice: "In order to break out, we killed more than 300 people, mainly Baron John's army. Their speed is too slow, and the military discipline Too bad, more than half the loss.

Because our army had crystal bombs to open the way, the casualties were smaller, but five crystal bombs were used up. "

Ryan looked at the reddish wash water passing through his fingertips, feeling a little heavy. Although he escaped without any danger, the loss this time was too great.

That's all for the personnel. The biggest loss is the food and supplies. They went out to fight before, and they only brought a few days' worth of food. Now they are almost out of food.

Not to mention the loss of almost all the treasures, Ryan even lost [-] war horses, which made him so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.

A total of ten crystal bombs were brought out this time, and six of them have been used up now. There are two thousand machine crossbows, and now there is only one left, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

"Stop talking about this, let the soldiers rest well, and leave tomorrow."

"Where?"

Hearing this question, Ryan was stunned for a moment, and finally he looked in one direction and said: "Go to the main battlefield, find the Grand Duke, find Chelsea."

"Actually, no one will say anything even if we withdraw from Turt County at this time." Xiyue came to Ryan and squatted down beside Ryan, washing her hands with river water.

Ryan smiled wryly and shook his head: "Do you think I don't want to? The blockade plan, what a blockade plan, what an Earl William!"

On the way to escape, he had basically figured out the cause and effect. This time, it was not only Gabriel who rebelled, but the entire Earl William family.

Because he only now thought of a terrifying fact, the blockade plan was proposed by Earl William, and the selected cities were also the cities of his vassals, which meant that every city had his people.

At this time, the main force of the aristocratic coalition forces in the major cities gathered on the main battlefield. It was a time when the troops were relatively empty. If the vassals under Earl William unified the attack, the consequences would be disastrous.

The blockade plan originally used to block the rebels has now blocked the noble coalition forces in Turt County.The rebels couldn't run away then, so of course Ryan couldn't run away now, he became a bird in a cage, a turtle in a urn!

So apart from going to the main battlefield, they have no way out.

However, there is a more serious problem in front of their eyes. Their food is basically running out...
