I want to be the Grand Duke of the Abyss

Chapter 70 Attack of Horner

Horner Falk clenched his fists tightly, never feeling as powerful as he does now.

Even in front of Jiang Fan, he seemed to be more confident.

Although Jiang Fan no longer looked down upon this attribute, he still couldn't help but secretly marvel at the magic of this fruit.

Although it is not an all-round improvement, it is an effect that can be achieved instantly without taking any risks.

In a low-energy plane like Hinomoto, a single fruit is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the fate of ordinary people.

"Congratulations, Mr. Horner, your power has reached the extraordinary level!"

"Lord Osiris, I will lead my soldiers to attack Beto's army tomorrow."

"The sacrifices will be collected soon!"

~~~~~~
Loki Mansion is located in the westernmost part of Xino Empire.

The territory has complex terrain and numerous mountains, making it one of the largest mineral sources in the empire.

Falkland happens to have a very rich iron ore.

The ore and equipment trade brings a large amount of income to Falk Tie every year, and the soldiers in the territory are also blessed with never lacking high-quality weapons and armor.

This is also the reason why Viscount Horner is still able to resist despite his personal and military strength being inferior to Count Beto.

It's just that the recent situation is not very optimistic. Falkland's army has been pushed to the cliff.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

In order to completely solve this problem, Count Beto got together with several nearby lords who were always greedy for ore resources, and prepared to carve up the entire Falk Territory.

The armies of both sides reached a stalemate in front of the small town of Harkat.

And this is already Falkland's last line of defense.

The next day, the sun rose in the east.

Viscount Horner, wearing light armor, arrived at the barracks in the city surrounded by a group of guards.

Thousands of warriors, wearing armor and holding halberds, were waiting in formation.

"Warriors!"

"Beyond the city wall, countless jackals and thieves are watching; behind the city wall is the last place for you and your wife and children to survive. We have no way out!"

"Just yesterday!"

"I, Horner Falk, have been officially promoted to Grand Knight! Today I will wear armor with you and defend the glory of Iris with my blood!"

"Anyone who kills the enemy will be rewarded with five gold coins for each soldier, a hundred gold coins for the knight, and a thousand gold coins for the person who kills the knight!"

The soldiers heard that the lord had successfully been promoted to the legendary Grand Knight. Before they could be happy, news of a huge reward came. The crowd suddenly became excited and shouted in unison.

"Definitely!"

"Definitely win!!"

Horner looked at the boosted morale and nodded secretly.He raised his hand and led the army away in high spirits.

Outside the city, a larger army was already ready and ready.

Today it was their turn to call for battle. When they saw the army led by Viscount Horner coming out of the city, they immediately let out a loud shout.

The sound was so loud that it seemed to knock down the entire city wall.

Horner raised his hand and waved, and the army behind him immediately began to take action, quickly forming a tight formation with Horner as the tip.

He took the lead, shouted loudly, and led the soldiers straight forward like an arrow from a string.

The leader of the enemy was a baron who was attached to Beto's command. He had already experienced Horner's strength and was not afraid at all. He smiled ferociously and raised his gun to meet him.

"when!"

An unexpectedly huge force struck.

The baron felt the tiger's mouth numb, and the weapon almost came out of his hand!

His eyes showed disbelief, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.Horner didn't know what he was thinking. Looking at the enemy's trembling arms, he took advantage of the situation and stabbed the baron again, directly piercing the baron.

The baron did not understand until his death. How could Horner, who was pressed and beaten by him a few days ago, be so violent today!

The surrounding soldiers were attacking Horner like a raging wave. The front wave had just arrived, but the rear wave had already arrived.

The overwhelming rain of swords and swords almost drowned Horner and the few knights beside him in an instant.

But Horner, whose strength has reached extraordinary levels, is not something they can resist. Even with extensive training, they cannot make up for such a huge gap in strength.

Dozens of enemy soldiers were no match at all, and they were broken through by Horner in the blink of an eye.

The Honama kept running and trampled over the corpses, weighing hundreds of kilograms of people and horses, and directly crushed the limbs of several people into pulp.

Looking from the top of the city, one can see that Horner, dressed in silver armor, has never stopped moving forward!
In the era of cold weapons, generals had a huge impact on war morale.

After Horner killed several of the only knights in succession, the remaining ordinary soldiers saw the knights being hacked and chopped like this. They were frightened and suddenly lost the courage to fight. They fled in all directions like frightened sheep.

You pushed me, I pushed you, the scene was chaotic.

Horner led a group of soldiers on horseback to repeatedly charge, chase and expel the enemy. The enemy was defeated like a mountain.

Seeing this, Horner quickly cooperated with his knights and shouted loudly:

"Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

Falk's army was overwhelming and defeated the enemy's army, bringing many prisoners back into the city.

~~~~~
"Quick! Go fast!"

"Crack! Crack!"

"Hurry up!"

Along the narrow path, a series of prisoners had their hands tied with ropes and their ankles tied, walking on the road leading to the manor at the foot of the mountain.

The soldiers captured in the past few days, the able-bodied ones, were all scattered and imprisoned, waiting to be recruited into the army in the future. Only the injured and disabled did not know what to do with them.

A large number of soldiers opened their eyes wide, waving their long whips, and kept whipping them, just like hitting livestock that were being herded.

Although I don't know why the lord had to rush the people to the manor, they have been fighting continuously in recent days, and they have won successive victories under the personal leadership of the lord.

Viscount Horner's prestige in the hearts of the soldiers was unparalleled for a while, and it had reached the highest peak since he inherited the title.

Even if there were doubts in their hearts, no one dared to ask. Instead, they carried out the Lord's orders more seriously.

At the horse farm on the hill behind the manor, a huge strange pattern was carved on the ground at some point.

These civilian soldiers did not have the opportunity to come into contact with the extraordinary, so they naturally did not recognize the significance of this rune array.

And their respected lord, at the moment, was talking softly to a man in black robe standing at the edge.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but several knights vaguely felt that there was a hint of respect in Viscount Horner's words.

"Who is that?"

"Where did this noble lord come from?"

Strong confusion filled the hearts of several people, and they did not dare to ask unless the adults told them.

"Lord, we have brought everyone here, a total of 1120 people."

"Ok!"

Honor Falk nodded solemnly.

"These people invaded the Falk family's territory for no reason, burned, killed, looted, and committed many evil deeds. They should receive the harshest punishment!"

"This is the Archmage I invited. Today, I will use their corpses to comfort the soldiers and citizens who died in the territory!"

It turned out to be the case.

Several knights were secretly moved.

"Drag them into the formation and chop off their heads!"

"Yes!"

"Array!"

All the soldiers who came quickly gathered, surrounded the prisoners in the formation, and raised their sharp spears high...
