Carry the Ring of Elden with you

Roland was just about to hand over the documents in his hand to him so that he could feel more relaxed, but he was stunned when he heard his words.After thinking about it, Kenneth was indeed right. If you don't understand the situation in the city personally, you will indeed not be able to handle it properly in some aspects.

So Roland said: "Well, your plan is very good, but there are currently no extra guards for you in the city. Would you mind if it was a winged hybrid?"

Winged hybrid?Kenneth Hyde's expression froze and he blinked.He looked around and didn't find anything related to winged hybrids. After a moment of silence, he said in a dry tone: "Well... well... well... since it is a winged hybrid named by Lord Golden Will himself. , it's not impossible. 'No matter whether it is noble or not, as long as it can maintain the legitimate order, the Golden Order will not reject it.'"

Roland remembered that this man had said something similar when he first saw the player as a faded person. Although he was a little concerned about the player's identity as a faded person, he still treated him sincerely and did not respond after the player completed his request. Anyone who is naughty will give the best reward he can: a brass short blade to the player.

You must know that the brass short blade is a personal protective weapon carried by members of the Golden Tree royal family. It is equivalent to a symbol of the royal family. It was given to the faded people who were equivalent to the bottom of society in terms of status.

And he is also the only noble lord willing to communicate with the demi-human race. After the player slaughters all the rebellious defenders of Hyde Fortress, the defense force of the fortress becomes those demi-humans.

He carefully looked at the same Kenneth Hyde. In a crazy world where the magic circle was broken, he could still maintain his self and such a kind character, which showed that this man really, truly trusted him.

"Don't worry, the winged hybrids won't hurt you." Roland said in relief.

Kenneth Hyde nodded upon hearing this, showing a relieved expression.

At this moment, an exiled soldier who was originally responsible for patrolling outside the city entered the city lord's palace and said quickly: "Report to Lord Roland, there are a large number of enemy troops outside Duogu City. At present, Lord White and Lord Fazhuang have led The newly arrived Homeless Knight and Knight Commander Grek went out to check the situation."

Roland frowned and thought about Kenneth's instructions: "The situation outside is urgent. You should stay in the city lord's mansion and don't go out for the time being. You should have seen the blessing teleportation point over there. If you encounter a dangerous situation, use this blessing immediately." Teleport away. Robles, Amber, you happen to be helping to guard the city lord's palace, and you must protect his safety. I will send some winged hybrids to help later."

"Okay, I understand. Dear Lord Golden Will, I wish you victory." Kenneth expressed his understanding. After Roland nodded, he hurried out with the exiled soldier who came in to report, followed by the people who just came in. Ikosela, who changed his job to a Knight of Rodel.

After Kenneth Hyde respectfully watched Roland and others go out, he straightened up and looked at the files and books covered on Roland's table.

He pondered for a moment, and since there was nothing to do now, he sat generously where Roland originally sat, tidied the somewhat messy table, and began to read the files and books on it bit by bit.

On the other side, Roland hurriedly arrived at another city gate. Two golem guards were constantly strumming their bowstrings and shooting huge stone arrows into the distance.

It seems that the enemy is still far away, otherwise the golem guards would have gone out.Roland's hanging star lowered a little, and soon he saw the troops gathering at the city gate.

After seeing Roland's arrival, all the soldiers bowed respectfully to him.

"What's the situation now? White, please explain." Roland waved his hand to indicate that the soldiers would not be so polite. He named White's name and asked.

White nodded and said directly without saying much: "I arranged a team of five exiled soldiers. When they found out that the golem guards started shooting arrows, they went out of the city to patrol to check the direction of the arrows. Then they ran into the enemy's Large force."

"Because there were so many enemies, they were entangled, and the golem guards' shooting could not break them off. In desperation, they immediately asked a team member to come back to report the situation to me, and the remaining four soldiers were still at the rear. I'm afraid it's already There is no more danger."

"I understand." Roland was listening to White's report while making stone arrows to supplement the consumption of the golem guards.When he heard that the four exiled soldiers might not come back, he had a sad expression on his face.

This was the first time he had lost a summoned unit, and he didn't even know its name.Unlike Farrugia and the others, Roland really couldn't remember the names of every soldier because more and more soldiers were being summoned.

But Roland didn't indulge in this emotion for long, and quickly adjusted his mentality.If I still worry about gains and losses as before, then more soldiers will only die innocently.

Roland exhaled a breath and asked, "Do you know the specific configuration and number of enemies?"

White shook his head, pointed out a soldier with dust and still-dried blood on his body to Roland, and said, "Fazhuang and I are listening to this soldier's report. Mr. Roland, you are here."

"That's just right, soldier! Tell us everything you know. Your teammates, I can swear to help you avenge if I can." Roland said solemnly to the soldier whose face was covered by red cloth and head armor. .

The soldier immediately knelt down on one knee, and a young and childlike voice came from under the mask. The voice was slightly trembling with tears that had not yet been released: "Yes, thank you Lord Roland for your kindness. We are leaving the city. Patrolling along the direction where the golem guards were shooting arrows, about 4000 meters away from the ancient city of Rideau, we were discovered by the Pegasus Knights, an air unit on the opposite side. Unlike in the past, when only three or four Pegasus Knights were dispatched, the opponent dispatched about 20 more. Also Because of this, we were unable to escape immediately and fell into an entanglement with them, and were subsequently surrounded by a large force."

"During this period, we discovered that many soldiers were marching towards Duogu City with trebuchets and even siege equipment such as ballistae. Looking at their phalanx, I roughly estimated that the number of people was about 2000. Discovery In this situation, the captain immediately decided to sacrifice his life so that I, the fastest in the team, could break out."

"And the other side seems to want to capture us alive, just to give us the opportunity to sacrifice ourselves to break out. The five of us guided the ground battlefield behind us into the attack range of the golem guards, while waiting for the stone arrows of the golem guards. The other side was indeed fooled. Now, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the stone arrows of the golem guards, the captain and three other teammates created a breakthrough, and then I returned to Dogu City while my teammates were desperately chasing the opponent."

"I guarantee with my own life that everything I say is true. If I tell lies, my soul will never be able to return to the embrace of the golden tree." The soldier said at the end, his voice was very loud.

Roland nodded, showed a comforting smile, and took a step forward to pull the exiled soldier up. He said softly: "Thank you for your hard work. Your team did a good job. This information is very important to us."

The exiled soldier replied excitedly: "Everything is for the golden tree, it's just what we should do."

"It stands to reason that your team's performance deserves a heavy reward. But now that the situation is urgent, this is the only thing I can give you." Roland took out five poisonous flying knives from the system space and handed them to the exiled soldier: "The blade is poisonous, so be careful when using it. I hope it can help many of your enemies and avenge your captain and teammates."

"Yes, Lord Roland!"

Seeing that the situation was almost the same, White intervened in the conversation at the right time: "Okay, Oga. You go into the queue first, Lord Roland and I are going to discuss countermeasures."

The exiled soldier named 'Oga' bowed neatly again and immediately returned to the original queue.

"Lord Roland, Fazhuang and I, as well as Arthur, the newly joined knight who has lost his homeland, all agree that it is the best strategy to cooperate with the knight captains of Grek you just summoned to go out of the city and attack proactively. But now that the enemy is far away Duogu City is still far away. When they reach the active attack range of the Golem Guards, Fazhuang and I will lead the 15 Knight Commanders of Gerick to charge. The goal is to destroy the local siege equipment first." White came to Roland's side and He made his plans known.

Roland nodded. He was a layman when it came to fighting. The best thing he could do was not give random orders.However, he still asked curiously: "What are Arthur and the remaining five knight commanders going to do?"

White smiled and replied: "Arthur and these five Knight Commanders of Greco serve as a support ranger to prevent the enemy from using other means or to come to rescue me and Fazhuang's team when we are in trouble."

So that was the plan.Roland nodded slightly to show that he understood.At this time, the golem guards stopped shooting arrows, but they did not switch to melee mode as before, but stopped in place without any extra movement.

"Is this... the enemy aware of the attack distance of the golem guards?" White also observed the actions of the golem guards, and suddenly whispered with a heavy tone: "This also shows that those four soldiers will never be able to came back."

A few minutes earlier, the vanguard of the Holy Empire of France was on the front line.

Huge stone arrows were inserted into the soil that was originally a plain, turning the terrain into pits.The pure white and pure gold armored infantry of the Holy Empire of France, together with the holy armored soldiers embroidered with fleur-de-lis and sword emblems, surrounded the two soldiers whose armor was wrapped in red coarse cloth.

In the sky, Marigit, who was full of anger between her brows, widened her eyes, and tightly held the hand holding the lance. Together with the equally angry Pegasus knights around her, she completely blocked the way for the two soldiers to escape. All routes.

The two similarly dressed red figures who fell around were covered with arrows. They were in sharp contrast with the corpses of more French Holy Empire soldiers. There were even the corpses of three Holy Armor soldiers and two Pegasus knights among them. Conspicuously present.The red flesh and blood remains dyed the soil and lawn dark red, and the air was filled with the breath of chilling and steel.

In order to capture these four exiled soldiers alive, the Holy Empire of France has paid the price of 30 Pioneer Corps soldiers, 3 Holy Armor soldiers and 2 Pegasus knights, but so far they have not succeeded.

The two exiled soldiers who were exhausted and captured were still resisting at the last moment of their lives. One of them killed the two Holy Armor soldiers who came to tie themselves with ropes, and the other killed the one who relaxed his vigilance after landing. Pegasus Knight.They were then ordered to be shot with random arrows.

"Huh... Huh..." An exiled soldier also had a few arrows stuck in his body and a crescent moon ax stuck on the ground. He leaned against it and kept breathing heavily.He looked at his comrade beside him who was also panting and kneeling on the ground with arrows in his knees, but still holding the sword and corroded leather shield tightly with both hands, and a smile appeared under the mask.

Another Pegasus knight was killed by his companion. The naive Pegasus knight thought that he could safely attack him by shrinking in the air. As a result, his compatriot took advantage of the opportunity and used the storm blade to kill both men and horses. Hit together, Pegasus's neck and the girl's heart were shattered by the angry storm, and he fell to the ground with a howl and died.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" A soldier from the Pioneer Corps tried to give him a chance to breathe. He held his breath and suddenly pulled out the crescent moon ax from the ground. The broad ax blade split open the man. Wanting to pick up the soldier's body, a new body was added to the cemetery on the ground.

"Okay, no need to attack anymore." The voice of the commander-in-chief Enlucius came, and he looked at the lost soldiers with heartache.These four soldiers of unknown origin actually killed so many of their own soldiers under the siege with a battle loss of 1:9. If you put them in your own army, you can become a powerful squad leader.

"Where are you from? The armor you are wearing does not belong to the Charles Empire. Are you mercenaries? What price did they pay to deserve your loyalty, even at the cost of their lives?" Enlucius also rashly stepped forward to ask, and He asked while hiding behind the soldier.

The bravery of these soldiers impressed him so much that he did not dare to take risks.

"Hiss... Ha... Hiss... Are you... the commander of this group of people?" The exiled soldier holding a crescent ax asked while breathing heavily, and the other held a sword. The exiled soldier holding the shield seemed to have passed out and was unable to speak.If it weren't for the fact that his body was still being violently bullied, he might have been thought dead.

"I am the commander of this team, Enlucius. It is a pity that you and your companions died here. I am willing to pay double the commission to hire you and your companions to our Holy Empire of France. Come to camp." Enlucius looked at the killing results caused by the exiled soldiers in front of him, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes.

When Marigit heard what Onlusius said in the air, her almond-shaped eyes widened and she said to Onlusius: "Impossible, these soldiers killed two of my Pegasus knights, and I have no choice but to forgive them. "

Enlucius didn't seem to hear Marigit's words, and he continued to offer an olive branch: "Don't worry about these words, if you can surrender to our empire, we will bury the hatchet and let you each become a team of Holy Armor soldiers. Captain."

"Ha...ha..." The soldier holding the crescent ax tilted his head towards the sword and shield soldier who had arrows in his knees. Although they couldn't see each other's face clearly through the mask, both of them understood what the other was thinking.

"Okay..." The Exiled Soldier with the Crescent Axe slowly stood up. The figure that was several times larger than the soldiers of the Imperial Pioneer Corps caused a lot of panic among the soldiers around him the moment he stood up.It was he who killed many of his comrades with that exaggerated battle axe.

Enlucius looked happy at first, and then looked horrified.

The soldier holding the Crescent Moon Ax in both hands let out a deafening roar, and a bloodthirsty red light emerged from his body.Having no strength at all, he began to sprint towards where Enlucius was.

The Crescent Moon Ax comes with a combat skill: Battle Cry.

A combat technique that motivates oneself through roaring and increases attack power.While the combat skill is valid, heavy attacks will become charge attacks.

The exiled soldier next to him who couldn't move his legs also roared, but his body did not flash red light. Instead, he concentrated the last strength in his body on the long sword, creating a storm blade that was sharper and more violent than before. The second one arrived first, throwing it into the path of the Crescent Moon Ax soldiers' charge.

After the Storm Blade penetrated the shield wall composed of five soldiers, the soldiers of Crescent Moon Ax also rushed to a position more than ten meters in front of Enlucius.But these ten meters were a distance that he could not cross. The spear of the Pioneer Corps soldier penetrated his body and nailed him to the spot. When he found that he could no longer move forward, he threw out the crescent moon ax in his hand, and then There is no more interest.

The crescent-moon ax was flown down on a Pegasus by Marigit, who reacted very quickly, and was effortlessly picked up with a lance.The ax smashed into the soldiers, taking away the lives of two unfortunate men.

The moment the sword and shield soldier left his hand, the hands that had been holding on to him finally released the weapon. The soldier who reacted sent the crossbow arrow into his body.

At the last moment of his life, he tried hard to adjust the direction of his body so that his head could look at the faintly visible shadow of the golden tree in the distance. Only the ray of golden light in his cloudy eyes was so clean.

Then the rain of arrows flooded his sight, and the life of this exiled soldier came to an end.

Chapter 44:Unexpected circumstances

Enlucius looked in shock at the dead but still standing executioner soldier only ten meters away from him, and swallowed his saliva.

He quickly reacted and began to instruct the soldiers to collect the corpses of the other party's and his own soldiers.

"When did the Charles Empire have such elite and loyal soldiers?" Marigit drove the Pegasus under her to come to Enlucius, looking down at him from the Pegasus and asked.

Enlucius shook his head and said: "I don't know. There will be no problems with our intelligence department. We know all the military units of the Charles Empire. They only have the possibility of where these war mercenaries came from, but they are not powerful." I have never seen such a death-fearing fighting style."

"Mercenaries? I don't think they are mercenaries." Marigit objected. Her beautiful eyes looked at the corpses of the four exiled soldiers who were restrained by the soldiers and lined up in a row. "You see, the equipment on their bodies is very stylish. It is unified, and uses fighting skills or magic that we have never seen before. The madness skills that can be used when exhausted and the spell that condenses storms out of thin air on the sword body, if there is any mercenary force that has such strength , we can’t be unclear.”

Enlucius said to the soldiers who were collecting the corpses of the executed soldiers: "Bring their weapons here."

"Yes." Several soldiers collected the weapons of the exiled soldiers and came to stand in front of Enlucius.

Marigit got off the Pegasus and observed these weapons side by side with Enlucius.

There were a total of two crescent moon axes, a spear, a long sword and two corroded leather shields with some damage on both sides.

"Well...these weapons are definitely not something that can be forged with the forging technology of the Charles Empire." Enlucius carefully observed the weapons held by the soldiers and said to Marigit.

"Hey -" Marigit suddenly drew out the sword she was carrying, and then drew the long sword with her other hand.Then she slashed the sword, which was engraved with inscriptions and magic gems, towards the long sword.

The two collided with a loud and harsh sound. When the sword blades touched each other, a golden light flashed on the executioner's sword. Marigit's sword broke in response, and the sword itself only had an extra streak. An obvious gap.

Enlucius and several soldiers holding weapons looked surprised. Marigit's expression remained unchanged, she inserted the incomplete sword in her hand back into the scabbard, and put the long sword back into the hands of the soldiers.

She said to Anlucius in a cautious tone: "Your Excellency Anlucius, my sword 'Sky Deer' was obtained by my husband at a great price from Master Alantra Croesus, the legendary blacksmith master of the elves. Made of countless precious metals, this ordinary-looking long sword can be cut through easily without any effort. Do you think this is still the forging technology of the Charles Empire?"

Upon hearing this, Enlucius immediately shook his head slightly: "No, it can't be the Charles Empire. This long sword is obviously a standard weapon, the kind that can be mass-produced. If the Charles Empire could possess such technology, it would have launched a war long ago. And this is definitely not the forging technology of the dwarves. It does not mean that the dwarves cannot forge such sharp magic weapons, but they definitely have no way to produce them on an assembly line."

Marigit nodded in approval: "I'm afraid the same is true for other weapons. Just in the battle just now, I observed that the weapons in the hands of these soldiers can easily tear the armor of our soldiers. Even the Holy Armor Soldiers are known for their defense. The magic armor can only block it slightly before being easily penetrated. Your Excellency, Commander Onlusius, our opponent is not the army of the Charles Empire, but an unknown force."

Enlucius touched his chin and replied while thinking: "You are right, Captain Marigit. But our focus now is not which force these soldiers come from, but how to defeat them. His Royal Highness the Second Prince This is the only step away from our strategic policy, and more troops will come here in the future. All we need is to capture and hold Duogu City, and wait for the friendly forces to advance later."

"But I always have an ominous premonition, Your Excellency Anlucius." Marigit frowned slightly, and she expressed her worries: "I am now worried that we people will not be able to capture Duogu City."

When Enlucius heard this, he looked at the soldiers standing in front of him and showed an imperceptible wry smile.

"I know that the worst case scenario is that the Charles Empire and this unknown force join forces to defend Dogu City." Enlucius moved closer to Marigit and said in a voice that could not be heard by the group of soldiers: "But the Second Prince No more troops can be sent. Before occupying Duogu City and completely sealing the ground pass of Charles's empire, the opposition in the domestic Senate will not let the second prince continue to send troops. So we can only rely on these troops. Go and conquer Dogu City, Ms. Marigit."

After Marigit listened to what Onlucius said, she calmly distanced herself from him and nodded: "I understand, Commander Onlucius, I will let my Pegasus Knights do their best. Try to cooperate with the troops. I will resign first."

"Wait a moment." Enlucius took the long sword and the worn scabbard from the soldier's hand and handed it to Marigit: "This sword will be temporarily used by you, and will be turned in after returning home. To the army. If you are in danger because your sword is damaged, your husband will not let me go."

"Yeah, that's fine." Marigit took the sword without refusing, pinned it on the saddle of the Pegasus, and then flew into the air on the Pegasus.

Enlucius turned back to the soldiers and said: "You guys, send these weapons to the logistics camp for registration. Then return to the team immediately."

"Yes!" the soldiers responded and hurried to where they were going.

"Come here, call Captain Talus. I have something to tell him."

"My subordinate, go right away." A guard next to Enlucius ran out immediately.

Soon, Captain Talus followed the guard to Onlusius.The blond man with a Chinese character face asked seriously: "Commander-in-Chief, what are your orders?"

"The long-range attack from the opposite side is too far away. I need the help of the mages from your pioneering corps to intercept it." Enlucius said. In fact, it was the stone arrows flying from a distance that caused more casualties just now.This incredible killing distance gave Enlucius a headache.

Talus still looked serious, and he replied: "I was just about to tell you about this. I just observed the huge stone arrows flying towards me. They were just ordinary stones and soil. Just use a simple interception spell." If you can stop it, just leave it to our pioneering corps."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Remember, give priority to intercepting the stone arrows flying towards the siege equipment." Enlucius nodded and signaled Talus to go back and make arrangements.

Then he said to the messenger: "Pass my order, each team will march as normal! We must capture Duogu City today!"

After receiving the command from the commander-in-chief, the messenger immediately blew the melodious horn, and the troops who heard the horn once again marched toward the direction of Duogu City.

Under the arrangement of Captain Talus, the accompanying mages in the Pioneer Corps stood at the front of the entire team, contrary to their usual situation of shrinking back.Mixed with them are the Holy Armor troops led by Captain Goethe to protect them from being surprised by the enemy.

Then there is the phalanx of the pioneering corps infantry and siege troops. The half-loaded trebuchets can be loaded and put into battle in the shortest time. They move forward slowly under the guidance of specialized personnel, and the gravity attributes are drawn on them. Magic runes assist the soldiers in their push.

Moving in front of the trebuchet is a crossbow that can hunt giant dragons. The giant crossbow arrows that have been loaded into the crossbow glow with a ferocious cold light under the afternoon sun.

The more than 20 Pegasus knights were divided into two groups under the leadership of Marigit. One group circled and patrolled over all the ground troops, and the other group recuperated behind the large troops and prepared to replace their sisters for patrols or patrols. Launch a general attack together.

Soon the attacking troops of the Holy Empire of France once again entered the shooting range of the golem guards, but this time the prepared mages used their magic to accurately intercept all the stone arrows fired.

Only occasionally broken stones from stone arrows hit the mages' formation, and were easily blocked by the holy armor soldiers with their shields.

Enlucius nodded secretly when he saw this scene, so that he would not lose too many troops in this long-range attack.Next, just be prepared for the enemy to send cavalry to attack the mage troops, but you are also ready to counterattack with ballistae and archers.As long as it can be pulled into the range of the trebuchet, Dogu City will be within easy reach.

In the logistics camp, the few soldiers who had confiscated the weapons of the exiled soldiers put down their weapons and registered them before immediately returning to the team. Only an older veteran and two young soldiers were left guarding the camp.

"What good things have been harvested?" A young soldier curiously asked the veteran who recorded things in the register.

The veteran raised his head and glanced at him, then continued to write and draw: "It's just some treasures that are sharpened like clay. Don't move them. You two put these things in categories. Remember not to touch them, otherwise I will not be responsible for anything that happens."

"Hey, hey, hey, it's just some weapons, what's the danger? I can't think of using this weapon to chop myself up, right?" Another young soldier struggled to pick up two crescent moon axes and stood up. After shaking for a few times, he stood still: "Oh, good guy...it's so heavy. Who can use this kind of weapon? Could it be that the frontline troops killed some of the opponent's generals?"

The old soldier didn't even raise his head, and made a thick voice in his throat: "I have been guarding the logistics camp for decades, and I have seen all kinds of strange things. I have also seen many weapons that can cut off your own neck when you hold it, but you still listen. Let me give you some advice."

"Hey, old man, don't scare me. What weapon is so evil? Who can use such a weapon?" The young soldier got goosebumps all over his body and shuddered when he heard the veteran's words.

The veteran sneered and said nothing more.

Another soldier picked up a long gun and two eroded leather shields. Looking at these captured weapons, he said with longing eyes and envy: "I really want to go to the front line. Maybe I can do some military exploits, and I can also help my family." Those who look down on me look at how awesome I am.”

The old man glanced at it and said: "Stop daydreaming, kid. Do you know how many people in this logistics camp can't get in even if they want to? Your family sent you here through their connections, not just to keep you safe and sound. life?"
