Carry the Ring of Elden with you

As a result, the Pegasus Knight ranked No. 1 among all the armies of the Holy Empire of France, which army's soldiers he most wanted to date, and which army he most wanted to fight alongside.

But just now, when five Pegasus knights, including himself, were observing the situation inside Duogu City from a distance, they were suddenly attacked.Captain Mayu, who loves to take care of others and is very gentle to everyone, the team's mascot Happy Caroline, and the mature and reliable Liana, were all crushed into bloody stains by a giant arrow shot from the Pegasus under them. .

Even the impact force of the giant arrow made Irelia and Dorothy lose their balance for a moment, and they fell together with their Pegasus.

Irelia stood up, her Pegasus lay obediently on the grass, and snorted at her.

But the remains of a huge stone arrow not far away reminded Irelia that she was not out of danger. Captain Mayu's long pink hair drooped quietly from the place where the stone arrow sank into the soil. As she faced the stone arrow directly, she couldn't even react. In no time, the beautiful body that was envied by countless ground troops was shattered into pieces and scattered within a radius of 800 meters.

"It seems that this position is beyond the attack range of the opposite party." Dorothy carefully hid behind the remains of the stone arrow.

For Irelia, the tragic death of her companion brought too much shock to her, but as an elite Pegasus knight, Irelia was still able to stabilize her emotions.

From the moment they were attacked, it was already a state of war.Only by winning this war first can we have the qualifications and time to mourn for our lost colleagues.

However, her weak legs and slightly trembling body still showed that she was not as strong as she thought.

"We have to go back and report the situation to the ground troops. The enemy has the ability to strike at ultra-long range." Dorothy was actually a little frightened inside. She unconsciously fiddled with her green braided hair as she spoke.

Captain Mayu often praised her hair as dazzling as emeralds, but the gentle elder sister died tragically in the air.

A trace of unbearability flashed through Dorothy's heart. Captain Mayu was killed in battle. As the vice-captain, she must assume the responsibility of the team.Even now only he and Irelia are left in his team.

I can't panic. If I, as a senior, panic too, Irelia will also be at a loss.Dorothy patted her cheek and mustered up her courage.

She pretended to be relaxed and mounted the Pegasus, and said to Eloria: "Let's go back and report the situation first. When the large army arrives and sets up a defensive formation, we will help the captain and their bodies to collect them."

"Yeah." Irelia also got on her horse. The Pegasus spread its wings and was about to fly, but suddenly it stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Eh? What's wrong with you?" Irelia comforted her Pegasus. As the Pegasus twitched, she discovered that her mount's wings were very obviously twisted and fractured.

"Vice Captain Dorothy, Xiaokun's wings are injured." Irelia said distressedly.

Dorothy sorted out her software. She looked at Irelia, her face flashed with a trace of confusion, and then was immediately replaced by determination.

"Then dear Irelia, you and Xiaokun can find a safe place nearby to hide for the time being. I will notify the ground troops and the captain of our Pegasus team, and a rescue team will be sent to take you there soon. Go back," Dorothy said softly.

Irelia's heart trembled, but she still resisted the urge to cry and nodded: "Yes, I will wait for you to come and rescue me nearby. Vice-captain, please be careful along the way."

"Be sure to hide it! When you return to the capital, I will ask the headquarters for a month's leave for you. By the way, you can go to your favorite restaurant to eat delicious desserts." Dorothy rode a Pegasus to Irelia. Next to her, she leaned down and wiped away the dust on Irelia's face, smiling: "You must not die, Irelia, we still have to avenge Captain Mayu and the others."

"Ah."

"Then I'm leaving! Don't forget the tracking circle on your body! That's the key for us to find you!" The Pegasus under Dorothy spread its wings, and its white wings cast a large shadow on the grass.

Dorothy smoothly controlled her Pegasus and slowly rose into the sky in the direction it came from. Irelia waited until the other party's figure disappeared, then gently stroked the Pegasus.

"How are you doing? Can you leave?" Irelia asked the Pegasus gently.

"Uh-!" Pegasus stood up effortlessly, proudly showing his recognized master that there was no problem walking at all.

Irelia praised happily: "You have worked very hard, Xiaokun. Let's go first..."

Before Irelia could finish speaking, the sound of breaking through the air that had engraved the fear deep in her soul not long ago came again.

A stone arrow moved from far to near, blowing up a huge gust of wind and flying into the distant air before Irelia could react.

An inconspicuous yet very familiar blood mist exploded in the clouds, and Irelia vaguely saw something green falling towards her.

Dorothy's broken head fell to the grass not far from Irelia, her eyes were knocked out, and the empty eye sockets were facing Irelia.

"Ahhhhhhh - don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me!!!" Irelia witnessed the tragic scene of Dorothy's dead body. Her lower body became hot, her legs became weak and collapsed, and she collapsed on the grass. He covered his ears with his hands and cried loudly and without any image, "I don't want to die, captain, mother, please save me."

From Roland's perspective, the golem guard he summoned stopped moving after shooting an arrow.Just when he wanted to send someone to explore the direction where the golem guard shot the arrow, the golem guard shot another arrow, which Roland couldn't stop.

After waiting quietly for a while, it was confirmed that the golem guard was no longer moving.Roland called over two homeless knights, White and Fazhuang.Let them take the exiled soldiers along the direction where the golem guards shot arrows to investigate what happened.

So when Irelia was trembling on the spot, covering her ears and crying, she heard two unfamiliar voices.

His Pegasus tried his best to stand up and resist against the two men, but the horse's neck was instantly cut off, and the hot blood spilled on Irelia.

"Ah, this soldier is completely broken. What does it smell like? It stinks." The cold weapon was placed on her neck, and Irelia's body stopped trembling in fear.

She opened her lips, looked up at the two homeless knights, and begged in the humblest voice: "Don't kill me, please. Don't kill me."

"What should I do?" White asked Fazhuang. The sword of the Lost Knight in his hand did not leave Irelia's neck.

Fa Zhuang glanced at White, then came directly behind the collapsed soldier, skillfully took out the rope and tied up Irelia's hands and body.

"Then bring this living creature to Master Roland for interrogation. Her equipment does not look like that of an ordinary army. If she doesn't move, we can ask for more useful information." Looking at Fazhuang's actions, White naturally understood what he meant. He took the weapon back.

Chapter 33: Pegasus Knight

Do you know how outrageous it is for a city that no matter how many vanguard troops and spies are sent to test it, no news is returned?

Whether he is the commander-in-chief of the Holy Empire of France or the Empire of Charles, looking at the ancient cities on the map is like watching a selective beast open its mouth of blood that is never satisfied and devour its own. Vanguard troops.

"That's enough! Commander!!! Stop fearlessly consuming the precious lives of our Pegasus knights!"

At the combat frontline headquarters of the Holy Empire of France in Duogu City, a mature woman with long black hair and a gentle temperament was now wearing silver slim-fitting soft armor, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were about to burst into flames.

Marigit, the captain of the Pegasus Knights, rushed in directly with his cronies and yelled at the commander-in-chief in front of all the staff and lieutenants.

When the Holy Empire of France lost more than 20 Pegasus knights and not even a single Pegasus came back, the captain of the Pegasus unit who was in charge of this expedition issued an ultimatum to the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces: If his sisters were to risk their lives again, If she wanted to die, she would rather resist and be sent to the imperial military court than follow the orders of the commander-in-chief.

This time, the Holy Empire of France only sent a total of 50 Pegasus knights. More than half of them were lost this time, and they were all sisters who had a very close relationship with themselves and were fraternal. Even the corpses were gone and melted into the lake like snowflakes. It was really The captain couldn't accept this loss.

This also includes his right-hand man: "Silver Wing" Lamia and "Pegasus" Lucia.Two geniuses who are about to be promoted to epic mages, and as long as they continue to practice, they will definitely be promoted to legendary mages and leave their names in the history of the Holy Empire of France.

Marigit raised these two girls as daughters, but just yesterday, like the other Pegasus knights who went on a reconnaissance mission, they didn't even use the magic circle for positioning on their bodies, and there was no news.

You must know that Silver Wings and Pegasus are both symbols of the Pegasus Knights. The strength of a person who can be named as the symbol of the army is naturally very important.They are not afraid at all even if they face the dragon knights of Charles Empire, and if they cooperate well, they can even kill the dragon knights on the spot.However, they have no way to deal with the dragon ridden by the dragon knight. At least they have to advance to the level of legendary mage to have a chance to kill the dragon. After killing the dragon knight, they will most likely be killed by the furious dragon.

In any case, what happened made Marigit angry and frightened. She even wanted to question the second prince who started the war about the origin of the opponent he provoked this time. It was definitely not the Charles Empire.

According to the regulations of the Holy Empire of France, the battle loss ratio of this Pegasus unit can already be eliminated.If you want to replenish your troops, you don't know how long it will take to replenish so many high-quality personnel.

You must know that every Pegasus knight has outstanding talents in magic and martial arts. Not just any beautiful girl can join this force with the approval of Pegasus.

The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with evil eyes, touched the golden staff in his hand, and the etheric fluctuations on his body that were ready to go, as well as the row of beautiful but cold-looking women behind him.

He knew that if he disagreed, it might really cause his own elite troops to rebel.

In fact, the commander-in-chief of the Holy Empire of France also had a headache. No matter how experienced the spies he sent, or the holy soldiers who were good at detecting information, they were like meat buns beating dogs and never came back.

I can't afford to offend these Pegasus knights.Behind them is a complex network of relationships between various nobles and the royal family of the Holy Empire of France. Naturally, the excellent qualities of the Pegasus knights will not be let go by the nobles of the empire.Pegasus knights are prohibited from free love in private, and their spouses are all carefully selected men by the empire.

Of course, in line with the principle of nurturing excellent offspring, the empire also selects high-quality men from all over the country who are handsome, respect women, and have magical talents.

This leads to the fact that the Pegasus knights generally do not object to the marriage, and the married Pegasus knights are also very affectionate with their husbands.

Over time, all men in the Holy Empire of France were proud to marry a woman who was a Pegasus knight.

In the history of the empire, there was a time when a grand duke of the empire intervened in the marriage of a Pegasus knight, but the Pegasus knights were synonymous with loyalty and purity.

So after the Grand Duke and all the related families behind him were cleansed by the Pegasus Knight Commander and his subordinates, no stupid nobles dared to touch them anymore.

That time the Pegasus Knights suffered heavy losses, and the Holy Empire of France also lost many French Saints and Martial Gods.In the end, the emperor personally knelt down and begged the remaining Pegasus knights for forgiveness, and branded the Grand Duke and the family behind him as national traitors, and his people would be slaves forever.This put down the rebellion.

Otherwise, the Pegasus Knight might really only be seen in the history books of the Holy Empire of France.

So the commander-in-chief simply agreed to the request of the Tianma Wing Captain, and at the same time requested more support troops from the command headquarters in the rear.

This was something Roland had not expected. Originally, he faced only a few thousand troops from the Holy Empire of France.

But because the range and power of the Golem Guard's enemy search was so outrageous, the front line of the Holy Empire of France would only have some changes in the judgment of Dogu City's military strength.

And what Roland did was just wake up every day to replenish enough arrows for the two golem guards, see that his army had captured survivors who were not sure whether they were lucky or unlucky, and then imprisoned them in the dungeon after interrogation. .

This is already the third day since the system released the second task, which means that Roland has completed almost half of the progress without even seeing the shadow of the enemy's incoming army.

On the second day, the golem guards drew their bows and shot arrows more frequently.Roland could see with his naked eyes bursts of etheric light from the direction where the giant arrow was shot.

Two resolute-looking Pegasus knights in the cloud held up the ether barrier and launched a counterattack to burn their magic power. It wasn't that the two Pegasus knights didn't want to return immediately, it was the attack of the golem guards that put too much pressure on them.

The huge stone arrows shot through the air towards the two Pegasus knights as if they were endless. They did not have enough magic power to ensure that they would stay away from the enemy-seeking range of the golem guards before their magic power was exhausted.Therefore, fighting to the death in the direction of the source of the stone arrow is their only chance to survive.

Their judgment was actually not wrong. If there were only the King's Army and the Golem guarding the city, as Pegasus knights, they could naturally destroy the Golem and then escape back to the base camp with the King's Army chasing after them.

However, there were still two Homeless Knights in Duogu City. The Pegasus Knight's counterattack was like a moth flying into a flame, running headlong into the storm unleashed by the Homeless Knights.

In the storm, the two Pegasus knights stared at the shooting of the golem guards and the combat skills of the homeless knights until they were covered in pain and passed out. They were captured alive by White and Fazhuang.

These two Pegasus knights are naturally Lamia and Lucia, the right-hand men of the Pegasus captain in this attack.

They were the only two Pegasus knights who were not destroyed by the attack of the golem guards, but when they were captured alive, their condition was almost the same as that of the dead.

White and Fazhuang did not have the habit of holding back their favors, nor were they knights of the Round Table.

Lamia's arms were cut off and she fought with her own sword between her teeth. Lucia lost her right arm in pain and her eyes were damaged and she became blind.The silver soft armor all over their bodies was in tatters, and their bodies were covered with bloodstains from the storm. The two warriors stood back to back to resist the attack of the homeless knights.

If they hadn't fainted due to excessive blood loss and shock, it would have taken a while for White and Fazhuang to kill them without being injured.

To put it in layman's terms, the Homeless Knights wanted to defeat these two enemies who in their eyes were fairly powerful without taking any damage.

They already have the qualifications to serve as reserve knights.Out of respect for warriors and love for geniuses, if Lord Roland does not intend to execute them, White and Fazhuang also plan to train them as their subordinates.

If they do not intend to be loyal to the Golden Tree in the end, the Homeless Knights will not leave them behind.

At the junction of their former hometowns, geniuses are everywhere, but only those geniuses who can assess the situation are qualified to survive.

When the storm finally dissipated, the armors of the homeless knights with no traces of fighting formed a sharp contrast with the blood stains on the two Pegasus knights.

The residents of Duogu City only saw the two tall golem guards suddenly shooting a few arrows in a certain direction. The king's army who had been waiting beside the golems cooperated with the homeless knights and exiled soldiers to skillfully shoot in the direction of the arrows. Routine searches were carried out to recapture captives who were suffering from mental breakdown or dying.

At first, the residents were interested in the golem guards and gathered outside the cordon, but as time went by, they gradually became bored and dispersed.

Some residents are even thinking: What about the promised war?How come it has been so many days that I have only seen soldiers who were scared to death, not even a large unit?Are those traveling businessmen lying to themselves in order to sell their goods?

On the other side, "Axe" Slit, the veteran general of the Charles Empire who was in charge of this expedition, faced the situation of being unable to obtain any information from spies and vanguard troops. He also fell into the same trouble as the frontline commander of the Holy Empire of France. middle.

Chapter 34: Ci Bu Zhang Bing has signed a contract

Charles' Empire Frontline, Duo Ancient City Combat Command

"General, there is still no news from the scouts sent out." In the temporary brown tent, a messenger reported anxiously with cold sweat on his forehead.

Although Slit's old but energetic face was staring at the map on the table, after listening to the words of the messenger, he waved lightly to signal the messenger to retreat.

The anxious messenger breathed a sigh of relief and quickly exited the tent.

Slit then raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He was now a little confused about what was going on in Duogu City.

Could it be that the Holy Empire of France has occupied Duogu City and repaired the war fortress? Otherwise, how could it be possible that the vanguard troops sent out could not get any news back?

If the two dragon knights hadn't rushed back from their mission elsewhere, he wouldn't be so passive now.

"Teacher, what should we do now?" The deputy general standing nearby showed his young face and bowed to ask for advice.

"You can win every battle if you know yourself and the enemy. The safest way is to wait for the two dragon knights to come from behind. Send them to investigate the situation in Duogu City." Slit looked at the students he had been training.

Nowadays, most of the generals in the Charles Empire are idlers. Slit has made it clear in the court.They actually thought that this time the Holy Empire of France was just trying to make money.

A bunch of pigs!I'm about to be beaten by the other party at home, and I'm still thinking about negotiating terms with the other party!

In desperation, Slit had no choice but to select generals from among the short ones, and bring along his own students and generals who had no strength but obeyed his words.

Even so, this expeditionary army was filled with many "gold-plated" aristocratic soldiers.

Fortunately, no one competed with Slit for command, and those nobles knew how much he weighed.As long as you hold the thigh of "General Axe", achievements will come to you and be plated with gold.

"But the current food and grass of our army is not enough to support the arrival of the two dragon knights." The young student mused: "Even after they arrive, the consumption of food and grass will intensify. This time, although the Lulan Chamber of Commerce promised to provide food and grass , but I think it is definitely not provided unconditionally. If we consume the food provided by the Chamber of Commerce wantonly, then His Majesty will definitely pay an additional price."

"You are right, these businessmen are just bastards who are lying on the country to suck blood." Slit agreed with the student's words: "So I have another more cumbersome but bloody method. Since they are sent out The small reconnaissance force has not returned, which means that the opponent's forces can completely wipe out this force. I just need to send more troops to march towards Dogu City."

The young student frowned and said: "But wasting our troops in this way is not worth the gain..."

"Kindness does not control troops, Kalman." Slit called out his student's name, but his eyes were fixed on the model representing his own corps on the map on the table.

The voice coming from his throat revealed a hint of viciousness: "What's more, aren't there a lot of people who want to make a fortune? There is no need to send out our own direct troops, and those nobles will rush to do this. It’s a reconnaissance mission.”

Kalman hesitated: "But if too many people die, will the nobles in the country blame you, General?"

Instead, Slit smiled: "What if these people take the initiative to ask to go?"

"Active...request?"

"Send two trustworthy people, and ask them to deliberately talk to the soldiers led by the nobles during the meal later in the camp, and then say: 'The general has found out the situation in Duogu City, and the defense is now empty. Prepare to dispatch The first of my direct troops to enter the city and seize the credit. 'It won't be long before someone comes to me and offers to volunteer." Slit said confidently.

Kalman nodded thoughtfully: "In this way, no matter how many nobles die, there is no way to blame you, the general, right? After all, these people are rushing to die on their own, and you, general, have also dissuaded them. .”

"That's right, the only use of these drunkards is to use their lives to explore the situation in Duogu City for our real soldiers of the Charles Empire."

Kalman said respectfully: "Then the student will arrange manpower."
