Carry the Ring of Elden with you

"Everyone, please sit down." General Turner returned the salute and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Then he picked up the report document in his hand and began to read it. An uneasy silence fell into the commander-in-chief's tent.

General Tang Lan's behavior just now has made these generals suspicious of each other, so these male and female generals looked at each other with fear, and did not discuss tactical cooperation with each other as before.

After General Turner carefully read the information sent back by the Pegasus troops on the front line, he raised his head and saw the mutually fearful looks on the faces of his legion commanders and generals, and said, "First of all, I want to tell you good news."

After hearing General Turner's words, others looked over with curious eyes.

What good news can there be in this situation?

After General Turner saw that everyone's attention was focused on him, he coughed lightly and showed a relaxed smile: "Just now, the assassins that have troubled us so many have been solved by guests from the Golden Dynasty from afar. "

The legion commanders and general-level captains showed incredulous looks.

"So fast? This is impossible. Two generals from Kent who were close to the legendary bodyguards were assassinated before. Did they find the assassins just a few minutes after they arrived here?"

"I think this was directed and acted by the Golden Dynasty! Maybe they have reached some conditions with the Charles Empire behind the scenes, and both sides are benefiting!"

Although these generals expressed their incomprehension about this matter, the expressions on their faces did become much more relaxed.

"General Turner, can you tell me how they found and eliminated those weird assassins?" A nun dressed as a cleric stood up. Although her appearance was unremarkable, the beauty mark at the corner of her mouth made her look mature. The charm of womanhood.

She gently said to General Turner: "I have no doubts about what you said, I just want to know how to deal with these evil assassins. After all, even the 'Angel Sight' I used personally cannot find out where those assassins are hiding. where."

"Bishop Julia, maybe you can wait until the war meeting is over to ask in person. The guests of the Golden Dynasty are resting in the tent I arranged, and they will not leave for a while." General Turner looked at the man with A nun of similar age to herself said in a respectful tone.

After all, the other party was sent by the church to help treat the wounded. Although she was dressed as a nun, her real identity was an archbishop, which was a bit more noble than her status as a general.

Julia nodded slightly: "Thank you very much, General.", and then sat down.

"I know you have many questions, but the top priority is to deal with the attack of the Charles Empire first. After this battle, I will give you three days off to relax and repair the tense nerves these days." General Turner waved his hand. , stopped other generals who wanted to ask questions, and then said in a deep voice: "But before doing it again, I need you to tighten your nerves and cheer up to defeat the invading soldiers of the Charles Empire. You are confident without?!"

"Of course, General!"

"Haha, if it hadn't been for that assassin's influence during this period, I'm afraid our army would have marched all the way to their capital."

General Turner nodded: "You are right. If it weren't for that damn assassin who killed so many of our outstanding generals and beloved compatriots, how could the Charles Empire defeat us? When they can only use this kind of evil When they use arbitrary means, it means they are afraid of fighting us on the frontal battlefield. Now that the assassins have been dealt with, do you have the confidence to regain the land we lost!"

"Yes!" The generals in the tent replied loudly in unison.

These lands in the Charles Empire all mean merit. The powerful nobles are waiting for the profits brought by these lands, while the weak nobles are looking forward to the promotion of these lands.

"Very well, General Keppel!" General Turner began to order his troops.

A tall Highlander general with a face covered with knife marks stood up: "Please give me your orders, General."

"Let your orc slaves, Highlander slaves and death row prisoners who belong to the 'Death Corps' under your command cover and cooperate with the attacks launched from the air by the Pegasus knights before the Charles Empire launches the first wave of offensive, consuming the opponent's main front row force. ! Destroy the enemy's siege engines as much as possible."

"Yes!"

The "death" in Kepel's Death Corps does not mean bringing death to the enemy, but refers to the astonishing [-]% mortality rate among his own regiments.

As General Turner said, the Death Corps is composed of death row criminals who have committed serious crimes and gladiators from the Highlanders who have been captured by the Orcs and the North.The Holy Empire of France stipulated that as long as they could fight ten battles and survive, their freedom would be restored, they would be exempted from guilt, and they would be given the lowest noble status.

However, so far only three soldiers of the Death Corps have completed this indicator, and Kepel is one of them.

These three soldiers who were able to escape from the Death Corps all chose to become the commanders of the Death Corps. Kepel also defeated the previous commander before becoming the new leader of the Death Corps.The previous legion commander became Kepel's deputy, an orc with the head of a tiger and the body of a human body.

Naturally, the Holy Empire of France will not let those who can be killed from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood internally consume them. It is better to put them back on the battlefield and let them bring death to the enemy.

"Captain Beavis! I order you to quickly lead the Pegasus Knights to attack now to support Christina who is responsible for the reconnaissance mission. I believe that the dragon knights of the Charles Empire alone cannot stop your steps." Turner looked at a seated man. the woman said.

Beavis wears a pure white slim-fitting armor engraved with a Pegasus relief, and has long blue hair scattered on his back under the helmet.

She stood up with a nonchalant expression, saluted General Turner, and then strode out immediately.

"Nikles, check the trebuchets and crossbows on the city wall to make sure they can be used normally and have sufficient ammunition. Alcott, ask the mage troops to ensure the safety of formations throughout the fortress, and at the same time search for shadow thorns that the enemy may be lurking in. Although the difficult assassin has been dealt with, we must also take the Shadow Thorn into consideration. Biqier, you lead the Holy Armor Army as a support force to drive off the enemy troops who have broken through the defense formations off the city wall." General Turner He conveyed orders in an orderly manner, and every regiment commander or general-level captain he named got up and went out to issue orders to the soldiers under his command.

The Auckland Front was built close to the mountains, and the mountains on both sides formed a natural defense. Therefore, the Holy Empire of France built a solid city wall where the mountains undulated gently to defend the Charles Empire.

If the Charles Empire wanted to break into the Holy Empire of France, Auckland was a place they couldn't get around. They could only bite the bullet and chew on this thorny bone.

Soon only General Turner and Sister Julia were left in the tent without any orders.

"Then I will ask the priests who followed me to prepare and try their best to rescue the injured soldiers." Julia stood up again and saluted General Turner.

General Turner nodded slightly: "Sorry to trouble you, Archbishop Julia. Also, the guests of the Golden Dynasty are resting on the east side of the camp. When you get there, you can know the location directly by asking the soldiers in charge of guarding."

"Thank you for the reminder, General Turner. May the angels and the Holy Light bring you victory in the next battle." Julia walked out of the commander's tent with a smile on her lips.

Robert ate his tenth bowl of rice under the strange gaze of the logistics chef of the Holy Empire of France.The chef looked at Robert's belly that did not rise at all with a suspicious look, wondering where he had eaten all the food.

"Thank you for the hospitality!" Robert thanked the back-of-house chef with the etiquette of the Reed Land, then he patted his full belly with satisfaction and stood up, stretching, as if he had eaten and drank enough and started to prepare for the next step lazily. Groundhog lying on the ground.

He walked out of the tent and found that the ground was covered by the overwhelming shadows of Pegasus.Robert raised his hair and transformed into hundreds of beautiful girls in white military uniforms. They held long Pegasus Knight spears in their hands and flew towards the top of the Oakland Mountains from the camp on the white horses they had signed a contract with. .

When the soldiers on the ground saw these Pegasus knights, they cheered and whistled.There were also busybodies who confessed their love to these Pegasus knights one after another, making some girls who had never been in love experience blush and didn't know how to deal with it. However, with the helmet blocking it, no one could see their shy faces.

Soon those troublemakers were scolded and kicked back by their respective captains, leaving them to help the logistics warehouse to help the logistics troops carry crossbow arrows and stone pellets needed for the trebuchet.

"Such a big battle." Robert looked curiously at the Pegasus knights passing by in the sky, preparing to return to his tent to sleep for a while.

The back-of-house chef just walked out. He was a middle-aged man with a big belly. The chef's clothes were full of oil stains and other things, but his hands were clean.

"The little girls are going out again, tsk tsk, those poor boys on the ground are dreaming about whether they can win other people's hearts again." The chef said to himself, and then found that Robert was also looking up, He said to him: "Are you also looking for a Pegasus knight to be your wife like those soldiers?"

Robert looked at the chef in surprise: "Why do you think so? I just lament how much money and time it takes to train such a Pegasus knight. It's hard to find such beautiful women. .”

"With your fresh face and this outfit, you must be an outsider who has recently defected to the empire, right?" The middle-aged chef looked at Robert and said, "The most tedious thing about cultivating a Pegasus knight is not the girl who is a knight, but the girl who is a knight. It’s Pegasus itself.”

Robert motioned for the chef to continue.

The middle-aged chef finally caught an opportunity to show off in front of outsiders, so he naturally continued: "Sure enough, the Holy Empire of France has a vast territory and a very large population base, so thousands of people can be selected every three years. Excellent girls undergo a selection ceremony for Pegasus knights. But Pegasus is different. It is said that Pegasus is the pet of the God of Holy Light. It is not like ordinary war horses that will give birth to children. Anyway, I heard that it is very troublesome to cultivate. "

After hearing this, Robert realized that this chef was actually just hearing something, and what he said was not very credible, so he changed his mind and asked, "Then do you know how many Pegasus knights there are in the empire?"

The middle-aged chef said with a smile: "I don't know the exact number, but it's just a lot."

"I see, there are a lot anyway." Robert's mouth twitched. Sure enough, he thought too much about trying to get some information out of the chef's mouth.

So he patted the chef brother on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I have something else to do. Thank you very much for the food you just made for me. Although it tastes average, it is large and filling. I will come to see you again in the evening."

With that said, he waved goodbye.

Chapter 65: Battle of Auckland [-]

The Pegasus opened its wings and waved its white wings, soaring in the sky.

The air exhaled by Beavis in the high altitude turned into white mist under the cold temperature and then dissipated in the air. She listened to the muffled sound coming from the thick clouds, clamped her legs together, and urged the Pegasus under her crotch to speed up. the speed of flight,

Behind her, there were hundreds of Pegasus knights like her, following Bevis with firm eyes.

Just when Bivis felt that the clouds were a little too thick, suddenly, the thick clouds were broken through, and they heard the thunderous roar of the dragon and the coquettish shouts of death from their companions.

The four dragons and their human dragon knight partners are engaged in a fierce struggle with the Pegasus Knight Christina Squadron of the reconnaissance force.

In other words, Christina and the others were entangled by these dragons and could not escape.Although Christina, as the captain, has tried her best to protect her team members, she still cannot prevent the young girl knights from falling one after another under the dragon's teeth and claws. They even fell from the sky and died. There is no way to keep the whole body.

"Roar——!" Christina nimbly dodged the dragon's breath breathed out by a flame dragon, and then rushed towards the flame dragon to fight back, leaving a bloody wound on the scales on the belly of the flame dragon while dodging it. Attack from the tail.

But a wounded team member behind her failed to escape and turned into a ball of fire falling towards the Oakland mountains without even screaming.

This was already the 12th Pegasus knight who died in a short period of time, and there were only fifty Pegasus knights in Christina's squadron.It had only been half an hour since they fought these dragon knights. On average, one of their companions died every two to three minutes, which made Christina both distressed and anxious.

If these dragon knights had not had other purposes, I am afraid the losses would have been even greater.

However, the wounds stabbed by the spears on the dragons also showed that the Pegasus Knights were not so easy to deal with. Christina had previously killed a giant dragon and a dragon knight from the Charles Empire at the expense of three team members.

But without the cooperation of ground troops, it is really difficult for the Pegasus knights to resist these overlords in the sky.

Beavis shouted: "Fly this way! Christina!"

Christina's armor-wrapped body was also dripping with sweat. She worked hard to regulate her breathing, and her lance was always filled with ether.After hearing Beavis's voice, his expression relaxed a lot.

The four dragon knights gathered together, and the dragons looked coldly at the beautiful girls who kept flying out of the clouds and riding Pegasus.

"Are these all the Pegasus knights in the Oakland front camp?" The leading dragon knight is named "Wynard". He is wrapped in the dragon knight's armor and has no idea of ​​his appearance. He can only hear this dragon from his voice. The knight is not young.

Beavis came to Christina to protect her behind him, and the others also took care of the Pegasus Knight who was beginning to lose strength.

She raised her Pegasus lance, pointed at Wynand and shouted loudly: "Dragon knights of the Charles Empire, tell me your name! My name is Bevis, the commander of the Second Horse Legion of the Holy Empire of France!"

Wynand just looked at her indifferently, and his voice reached Beavis's ears through the ether: "The dead don't need to know our names."

"Very good, I think so too." Bivis nodded, and she ordered to the Pegasus knights behind her: "Sisters! Form a formation and divide these four dragon knights into four battlefields! Drive them away one by one from the sky. To the ground!”

As the commander of the legion, Bivis is not impulsive. She knows that relying solely on the Pegasus knights to kill the dragon will cause the loss of more companions. Therefore, she must use her numerical advantage to occupy the air superiority and force these dragon knights to enter the dragon knights controlled by her own ground forces. Within the ballista attack range.

More than 1000 Pegasus knights faced off against four dragon knights and four giant dragons. The advantage was mine!

"The ones who should be expelled are you poor and weak girls who only know how to rely on numbers!" A dragon knight on the left side of Wynand shouted to Bivis with a tone of success: "Don't you doubt that the weather has been very sunny recently? , but are the clouds a little too thick?”

Wynand shook his head slightly, dissatisfied with his companion's impatience.

Beavis' expression changed. She had just wanted to rush to Christina and rescue the sisters responsible for the investigation. She really hadn't considered why there was such a thick cloud layer on a sunny day. She thought it was just because the height was too high. It came from somewhere else.

"Roar------!"

Waves of dragon roars came from the thick clouds, and the giant dragon lurking in the clouds began to roar.

They spit out fan-shaped dragon breaths with various properties. Before the girls could realize what was happening, the dragon breaths that were either scorching hot, cold, or deprived of life energy turned into various kinds of dragon breaths falling from high in the air and falling to the ground. Due to various "meteorites", the Pegasus Knights led by Beavis lost one-fifth of their strength in just an instant.

As the clouds were gradually sucked into a white mist dragon, Bivis found with an ugly expression that the high altitude he was in was surrounded by more than 20 giant dragons.

The various dragons flapped their wings and looked at the Pegasus Knight with playful eyes, as if they were looking at toys that could be played with at will.

"The Charles Empire really thinks highly of us, and actually dispatched so many dragon knights and giant dragons. Are all the active dragon knights in the country calling over?" Bevis squeezed the lance in his hand tightly.

The presence of so many giant dragons here is not just a simple addition.

Wynand shook his head: "No, there are only five of us dragon knights, and one of us was even killed in the hands of your companions just now. These are just young dragons who came out of Dragon Island and just ended their dormant period and wanted to come out and move around, but Just like us humans need trials, they also need trials to be qualified to participate in the Dragon Knight Selection Conference of our Charles Empire. You Pegasus Knights can just be used to temper these dragons."

"Treat us as a target for training?" Bivis said with a cold face: "Be careful, none of these dragons will be able to pass the test."

The dragon knight next to Wynand shouted arrogantly again: "Ha, I have heard for a long time that the Pegasus knights are a group of women who like to talk harshly. When I capture you alive, I will try to see if everything on your body is like your mouth. hard!"

"I have also heard for a long time that the young generation of dragon knights in the Charles Empire are of low quality, and it turned out to be true when I saw it today." Bivis's eyes were burning with anger, and Pegasus felt his master's heart and raised his head towards the opponent, exuding a high-spirited fighting spirit. Meaning: "Sisters! This dirty man insults our bodies with words, so what should we say in return!"

"Use a horse's hooves to stamp a mark of humiliation on his face! Use a spear to poke a big hole in his chest!" Christina drank the last bottle of energy potion on her body, put it back into the bag on the saddle, and responded. Beavis's voice.

Wynand sighed: "Habakak, you don't have to use words to anger these pure female warriors."

The young dragon knight replied: "Old man, you chatted so much and made me impatient to wait. Moreover, there are indeed many beautiful women among these Pegasus knights. I will capture a few and take them back to be my wives. His Majesty Judah will certainly not object."

Wynand looked at Beavis, who was commanding the Pegasus knights to disperse and rush towards him, and raised his lance: "Habakak, making a woman angry is a very scary thing. I hope that after this battle I I can still see you alive and kicking."

If these more than 1000 Pegasus knights are willing to sacrifice their lives to target you, then doubling the number of dragons present will not save your life.Wynand thought to himself.

And these girl knights who value chastity very much are very likely to do this. Habakak, you haven’t seen any history of the Pegasus Knights. The Grand Duke who molested the Pegasus Knights is still dragged away every year. Come out and criticize.

"Clang—!"

Beavis' Pegasus lance filled with blue ether collided with Wynand's dragonrider lance filled with red ether, which meant that the life-and-death battle in the sky had officially begun.

At this time, in the Auckland front camp, after the clouds in the sky dispersed, they naturally discovered that the Pegasus Knights led by Beavis were ambushed by a giant dragon.

"Damn, why are there so many giant dragons!? Push the anti-dragon ballistae to the city wall quickly! You go and notify General Turner, the signal soldier, to send out a signal!!! One yellow and one green! Let those brainless people Women, don’t fight with so many giant dragons in the air!” Nickles, who was in charge of the equipment, immediately gave the order and looked distressedly at the Pegasus knights who kept falling from the sky.

Occasionally, a giant dragon would let out a mournful roar and fall from the tragic battlefield in the sky, with its body covered with white Pegasus lances.

But the ground in the Auckland Mountains began to tremble slightly, and the ground troops of the Charles Empire arrived at the checkpoint of the Auckland Front.

Ladders, trebuchets, and chariots used to ram the city walls. Soldiers from the Charles Empire were surrounded by these war machines.There was also a huge battering ram, and the battering ram was engraved with magic marks, making Nickles understand that it was a prop specially used to target the Auckland front gate.

"Damn it, how could the other side come so fast!?" Nickles directed the soldiers to start pushing their crossbows and trebuchets to the designated positions.

The tall Captain Keppel came to Niklos and said in a low voice with his face covered with knife marks and burn marks: "Nikles, open the city gate to me and my death army will fight for you. time."

Niklos frowned: "But without the air cover of Captain Beavis, under the attack of the enemy's spells, your death army is really just dying."

Kepel shook his head: "From the day we entered the Death Army, we were destined to die. Death on the battlefield is the final destination of every soldier in the Death Army."

Niklos didn't hesitate too much and agreed. Anyway, the soldiers of the Death Corps were slaves or gladiators sold by their masters. It was not his turn to care about their life or death.

However, he added to Keppel: "When you charge, I will find Master Alcott and let his mage troops provide you with some cover as much as possible."

"That's it, thank you." Kepel nodded, and then left Niklos.

Not long after, under the curious eyes of the ground troops of the Charles Empire, the checkpoint gate of the Auckland front opened quickly, and a group of bloodthirsty-eyed death row prisoners, gladiators, and orcs raised various weapons in their hands and moved at a very fast speed. Attack towards your own position.

Inside the level, Alcott had just finished casting spells on the last batch of Death Legion soldiers leaving the city.

"Stoneskin, Bloodthirsty, Courage, Burning Blood, Life Burning, Pain Shielding... Wow, Captain Keppel is really cruel to the soldiers under his command." Alcott was wearing The mage wore an elegant black robe, stroking his golden beard and exclaimed: "Even if these soldiers can survive the battlefield, they will die on the spot because of so many spells that overdraft their lives. It's like burning them as matches." Same."

Nickles stood next to Alcott and shrugged: "They are all going to die sooner or later anyway. Commander Kepel Corps is so open-minded, so we don't have to worry so much. Your mages are ready. No, the mage troops on the opposite side have already begun to attack the Death Legion rushing past. If we use a trebuchet at this distance, they will be accidentally injured."
