Carry the Ring of Elden with you

Alcott glanced sideways at Nickles: "Don't be impatient, Nickles. They are already prepared to deal with each other's spells."

Just in time, as soon as Niklos finished speaking, flames and poisonous mist raged from the position of Charles Empire toward the charging Death Legion soldiers.

The water flow and purifying light were quickly released from the Auckland Front level within less than two seconds, neutralizing the enemy's spells.

After realizing that the enemy's mage troops were also online, the Charles Empire began to engage in a spell game with the mage troops led by Alcott.

The soldiers of the Death Legion crossed over the spells that continued to spread and exploded on the gentle mountains above their heads, and were about to rush to the frontline positions of the Charles Empire.The ones who rushed to the front were Keppel and his deputies. Their muscles swelled and their skin turned an unnatural pink color.

General Enoch, the commander-in-chief of the Charles Empire, frowned.He is a former student of "General Ax" Slit, a middle-aged man with short blond hair and blue eyes.

He kept muttering in his heart: "Didn't you say that when we attack at this time, the enemy has no ability to resist? Forget about those Pegasus knights in the sky, why can the enemy still send dead soldiers and use magic to support? Don't His Majesty Judah's assassin friends Can you paralyze the command system of the Holy Empire of France? I won’t be deceived, right?”

The deputy general beside him reminded: "Lord Enoch, we should send soldiers to protect the siege equipment from being destroyed by the opponent, otherwise we will lose a lot of soldiers when we conquer the city wall."

"Well, send out the [-]st, [-]nd and [-]rd heavy infantry detachments!" Enoch ordered.

Now is not the time to think about whether the assassin will succeed. Since he has led the army here, he can only take one step at a time.

The heavy infantrymen were wearing heavy armor and carrying thick swords and filed out of the Charles Empire's military formation. The helmets with only slits for their eyes allowed them to see the soldiers of the Death Corps bursting towards them at an astonishing speed. Getting closer.

"Ang————!" An ice-blue giant screamed in pain withering in the air, and a fountain of dragon blood with ice-attribute magic flowed down. It fell from the air towards the position of the Charles Empire.

On the claws of this ice-blue dragon was a Pegasus knight girl who was crushed into pieces with her mount. The broken lance was fiercely inserted into the dragon's chest.But this was not the dragon's fatal injury. The fatal injury was a Pegasus knight girl who had half of her body bitten off and was bloody and bloody. The broken lance in her hand was sent into the dragon's mouth and penetrated the back of the head.

The girl's slightly trembling eyes showed that she did not die immediately, but fortunately, the dragon's own ice magic froze the half of her body that was crushed by the dragon, which did not cause her to feel more pain.

The ferocious eyes of this Pegasus knight girl who chose to sacrifice herself softened after confirming that the dragon was killed by her, and she showed a happy smile. In the last moment, she looked towards the sky, her eyes still remembering her companions who were still fighting in the air. , then the sapphire-like pupils expanded, and passed away suddenly.

"Boom——!" The giant dragon finally fell down with the bodies of the two Pegasus knights, and even the dragon's body was smashed to pieces on the ground.The ice-attributed dragon's blood splashed and then quickly turned into white mist, and the dust generated when the dragon's corpse fell blurred the sight of the heavy infantry at the front of Charles's imperial army.

They were a little unsteady due to the shock caused by the dragon's fallen corpse, but before they could regain their balance, the bloodthirsty soldiers of the Death Corps walked through the dust and ice mist, roaring fiercely and using... Weapons were driven through the eye slits in the hoplite helmets, or their heads were smashed with heavy blunt objects.

"Ahhh-" The heavy-armed soldiers at the front screamed after being hit hard. At the cost of their lives, they brought unparalleled strength and speed, especially those orcs. When they went crazy, they actually lifted the dead bodies in an exaggerated way. The bodies of the heavy armored soldiers smashed into other heavy armored soldiers, causing these heavy armored soldiers to be caught off guard and knocked to the ground.

As soon as the heavy armored soldiers fell to the ground, more Death Legion soldiers would ride on them, constantly poking at the gaps in the armor with their weapons.The solid and thick armor on the body is not like a protective umbrella, but more like a cage that prevents these heavily armored soldiers from escaping.

Enoch found that the defense line of his front row of heavily armored soldiers had been easily opened by these dead soldiers with almost no armor protection, and the hole was still growing and spreading.

"Let the archers in the back row launch three volleys at the enemies in the front row!!" Enoch ordered, and the messenger next to him immediately waved the flag.

The longbowmen came out of the queue, stood in three rows at the rear, knelt down on one knee, pulled up their longbows and pointed them at the front rows of their positions, firing three rounds of shots in vain.

The heavily armored soldiers were not afraid of friendly fire. The bows and arrows bounced off with a clanging sound when they landed on the dark iron armor.But for the soldiers of the Death Corps, these arrow rains were very deadly. With an armor penetration rate of almost 0, they were hit by arrows one after another. Many of them were directly hit in vital parts and swung their weapons several times before falling to the ground and dying.

With the help of the long archers, the remaining heavy armored soldiers had time to breathe and regained their balance at the front.

At this time, the shortcomings of the Death Legion soldiers' disorganized fighting style, which was like a street melee, were revealed. They suffered heavy casualties due to the cooperation between the heavily armored soldiers. Without wearing armor, they faced the thick advantages of the heavily armored soldiers. The sword can only drink hatred on the spot, and no matter how forbidden the spells cast on them are, it cannot prevent the fact that they are being gradually eroded by the heavy infantry of the Charles Empire.

Unless an undead king suddenly appears at this time and reawakens these dead warriors from their slumber.

Keppel was dressed roughly, and he was surrounded by the corpses of heavily armored soldiers who were cut in half by him with his big sword, both human and armor, but as a price, his right hand was cut off, and the weapon that had been with him for many years was cut off. The big sword also broke into several pieces under the unprotected swing.The previous legion commander was also his deputy, the orc with the head of a tiger and the body of a human body, who had just died in front of him.

He looked at the heavily armored soldiers around him who did not dare to step forward and just wanted to wait for the sudden death when his forbidden technique ended, and roared: "Kill!"

Keppel raised the broken sword with his left hand and smashed it against a soldier in front of him. Then he jumped up to the soldier's side and squeezed the helmet tightly. The thick steel helmet actually exploded with terrifying force at the end. The front gradually deformed, causing the soldiers inside to change from frightened screams to miserable wails.

"Puff puff-!"

Keppel's body was pierced by a spear and a sword at the same time. He weakly let go of his helmet that was overflowing with blood and white brains, and fell to the cold and bloody ground together with the heavily armored soldier he killed in front of him.

At this point, all the Death Corps on the Auckland Front were killed, and more than half of the Charles Empire's hoplites were lost.

Of course, there are still many unfree orc slaves and human gladiators in the Holy Empire of France.

The death of the Death Corps will never be a relief, but another group of involuntary souls who continue to burn their lives.

"Huh..." Enoch breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Keppel's tall figure falling.

It wasn't that there weren't experts of the same level in the army, but he could tell at a glance that these soldiers had been cast on countless life-extending spells, and they were used as consumables to kill.

The strong men on our side are not like these consumables. If the opponent's desperate play style damages our high-end combat power, there will be no place to cry.

That's why Enoch, after seeing that these soldiers were willing to die, asked ordinary soldiers to exchange their lives for the lives of the enemy.

Ordinary soldiers can be put on the battlefield after two or three months of training, but it may not take two or three years for a high-end combatant to emerge.

Then at this moment, a harsh whistling sound came from the sky, and huge rocks suddenly fell to the ground, crushing the soldiers of the Charles Empire who were unable to dodge in the front row.

"Enemy trebuchet! Take cover!" someone shouted, followed by several more whistling sounds.

Since the magician troops of the Charles Empire were competing with the magician troops led by Alcott, checking and balancing each other's spells, they had no time to stop the stones being thrown towards their own positions.

The soldiers of the Charles Empire crowded at the mouth of this mountain range had no place to hide. The stones randomly named a few lucky soldiers and turned them into a ball of meat.

Chapter 66: The Faded Six

As early as Keppel led the Death Army to charge, Ludwig found General Turner and explained to him that he wanted to go to the city to observe how the Holy Empire of France responded to the enemy's siege methods.

Since Ludwig had just helped Turner deal with the extremely troublesome shadow creature assassin not long ago, and General Turner also had a good eye for Ludwig, who had protected him very well in the battle just now, and then In addition, he believed that if he just watched the battle on the city wall, some of the more secret places in his army would not be exposed.

So after thinking carefully, General Turner agreed to Ludwig's request and gave him an identity card that could pass on the city wall.

After getting the identity token, Ludwig saw a satisfied looking Robert walking swaggering when he returned to his rest tent. His eyes lit up and he captured this warrior from the land of reeds.

"Stop pulling, didn't I come with you?" Robert looked helplessly at Ludwig, who was grabbing his arm armor in front of him. He wanted to pull his arm back but found that the other man was too strong.

Ludwig handed the identity token to the guard guarding the steps of the city wall. After politely thanking him, he turned back to face Robert with blue eyes and said seriously: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Robert." . Judging from what I’ve observed and learned about you these past few days, I’m afraid you’ll find an excuse to slip away as soon as I let go.”

Robert's mouth twitched, that was indeed his plan.

"Why am I the only one who should be more interested in this matter, that Mr. D in the weird armor?" He asked relentlessly.

Ludwig gave the answer: "While you were eating, a woman who claimed to be a nun of the Holy Empire of France came to the tent where we were resting. She seemed to be praying very much to the Golden Law used by Mr. D. Interested, the two parties are currently communicating. As for Mr. Thomas, he is still studying the tentacles of that strange creature, and is compiling a report and reporting it to Miss Feiya so that the compatriots of the Golden Dynasty can have ways to deal with it if they encounter it. "

Then the faded man dressed as a Kalia knight paused deliberately and said mercilessly to Robert: "So the only one who seems to have nothing to do at the moment is you, Mr. Robert."

"Actually, you don't need to say the last sentence." Robert was struck by a knowing blow.

The two climbed onto the city wall and looked at the orc slaves and gladiators who were charging to death. Robert looked around to make sure that what he said would not be heard by the soldiers of the Holy Empire of France around him, and then he spoke leisurely. Said: "Hey, the Holy Empire of France is so generous, are you willing to let so many soldiers die?"

He could see that even if these soldiers survived the battle, they would die from the forbidden spells imposed on them.

After Ludwig observed carefully for a while, he answered Robert: "Look carefully at their clothes, Mr. Robert. There are traces of shackles on the necks and wrists of these soldiers. They are specially used to As consumables."

Robert shrugged: "You are observing very carefully, Ludwig. I thought these people like to go shirtless just like the warriors from the wilderness at the border. You see, these people roar quite well." It’s similar, isn’t it?”

Ludwig turned his head: "Mr. Robert, I still hope you can take our work seriously, otherwise I will have to report your performance to Miss Feiya truthfully when I go back."

"Tsk... I have been observing very carefully." Robert was stunned and rolled his eyes: "I am just a ronin warrior with no military education. Unlike you, who is obviously a highly educated person. A very knowledgeable knight, I don’t even know magic or prayer. What do you expect me to see? Why don’t you guess how many bowls of rice I can eat tonight.”

Ludwig said with relief: "It's okay, everyone is not born with these things, but you can make up for your shortcomings through acquired learning. I can explain it to you."

Robert curled his lips, wondering if this knight was a little too serious.

But the other party had already stretched out his hand to point at the soldiers who were charging to death, and Robert had no choice but to act like he was listening.

"Most of these slave corps are composed of orcs and highlanders, which shows that the status of these two races in the Holy Empire of France is very low. It can be said that they have no human rights." Ludwig analyzed: " According to Lord Roland’s ideas, we may be able to show more goodwill to the orcs and highlanders living in the Holy Empire of France and promote some of the policies and ideas of the Golden Dynasty to them.”

Robert said "Oh" in confusion, not sure why he wanted to show kindness to these low-status orcs and highlanders.

The other party is not in the powerful class and there is no way to directly help Miss Feiya?All he knew was that his head was a little confused.

"There are also forbidden spells cast by these mages. They can be cast on these soldiers who are willing to die, and they can also be cast on ordinary soldiers. If we become enemies with the Holy Empire of France, we will force the other party into a desperate situation. We must be careful of people like them. Fight back desperately."

"I know this, just like you can't underestimate any injured warrior in the land of reeds. You never know whether the opponent's katana will slit your throat before the opponent dies." Robert nodded.

At this time, the roar of giant dragons and the rapid flapping of wings of Pegasus came from the air, and the surrounding soldiers became a little restless under the pressure of the giant dragons.

Robert looked up and saw two giant dragons with wind attributes chasing more than 20 Pegasus knights.

The giant dragon's body is wrapped with wind attribute ether, allowing them to easily catch up with these Pegasus knights. The wind attribute corrosive dragon breath in its mouth swallows up the Pegasus knights who are unable to dodge one after another, cutting them into balls of blood mist. .

But the girls on the Pegasus had firm eyes, and at the cost of their own lives and those of their companions, they lured the two giant dragons into the killing range of the anti-dragon ballistae that had been prepared on the Auckland front.

Robert narrowed his eyes and looked at the giant dragon who didn't realize that his flying height was very dangerous. He subconsciously touched the handle of the pulley crossbow and even thought about whether there was any dragon-injuring grease in his backpack.

Ludwig held down Robert's hand, shook his head at him, and then raised his head towards somewhere in the camp.

Robert followed Ludwig's guidance and looked over, discovering the ballista cart that was specifically designed to hunt dragons in that direction.

When the losses of the more than 20 Pegasus knights were only in single digits, these girls began to fly upward uncharacteristically. The two wind-attribute dragons did not think much and chased after them at a faster speed.

What the two giant dragons didn't realize was that their soft abdomen had been targeted by those thick black crossbow arrows that were glowing with cold light and engraved with magic inscriptions all over their bodies.

"Roar--!"

The two giant dragons were immersed in the pleasure of playing and killing prey. This behavior made their bodies feel extremely happy after they had just finished their dormant period.The wind attribute dragons once again worked together to tear into pieces a Pegasus knight who was unable to dodge. The feeling of his frail body being instantly destroyed made the dragons roar with excitement.

The crossbowmen with excellent eyesight stared at the exposed abdomen of the dragons with calm eyes, and placed their hands firmly on the trigger. With the help of three soldiers, the anti-dragon crossbowmen fine-tuned the angle, calmly and patiently. Looking for an opportunity to kill with one blow.

Those beautiful Pegasus knights exchanged their lives for the opportunity, so they must respond to this heavy trust.

"Boom--!"

Compared with the dragon's excited roar that resounded across the sky, the sound of the anti-dragon ballistae seemed very low.But the sharp crossbows, the moment the crossbowmen pulled the trigger, meant that they would bring pain to the two wind dragons.

There were a total of eight anti-dragon crossbows. Five of the thick crossbow arrows were shot into the abdomen of a giant wind-attributed dragon, causing its flying figure to swerve in the air. The roar stopped abruptly, and the dragon's wings stopped waving and slowly rose from the air. He quickly fell into the camp within the Auckland front.

Another giant dragon was hit by the remaining three anti-dragon ballistae, one shot through its wings, and two severely damaged its abdomen. For a moment, it did not die immediately like its companions, but shot at the high The companions in the sky let out shrill dragon roars, hoping that they could save themselves from serious injuries.

When the only six Pegasus knights heard the movement behind them, they immediately changed direction, raised the lances in their hands, squeezed out the remaining physical strength and ether in their bodies, and gritted their teeth and rushed towards the severely injured dragon.

The giant dragon's counterattack before death killed a Pegasus knight who rushed at the front, but the remaining five girls used Pegasus lances to penetrate his head and neck. The dragon's blood spread all over the earth, and he fell to the ground with the girls. on the ground.

Immediately, soldiers in the camp came to the body of the dead dragon, struggled to lift the dragon's wings, and found the dying Pegasus knights.

"Still alive and breathing! Priest!! Priest!! Come and save people!" The soldiers carried the scarred girls and their Pegasus out from under the dragon's wings with distressed and admiring eyes, shouting loudly. Priests.

The clergy and specialized battlefield doctors had actually arrived at the soldiers' side a long time ago. The soldiers made way for the clergy to chant recovery techniques to stabilize the injuries of these brave girls.

"Get out of the way, their lives are no longer in danger." After the clergy gave emergency treatment, the battlefield doctors placed these bloody girls on stretchers, preparing for more detailed medical care.

Robert saw this scene in the distance, looked at Ludwig beside him and said, "Master Knight, what can you tell about this?"

Ludwig was silent for a while and said: "It shows that the Holy Empire of France really has no particularly effective defense method against the dragon knights of the Charles Empire. This method of relying on high-level troops to exchange lives is not suitable for us. Golden Dynasty.”

Robert thought to himself that you are actually thinking carefully about what I said.

At this time, the trebuchets on the Auckland front threw huge stones at the military formation of Charles's empire. The shadows of the stones crossed the ground, attracting the eyes of Robert and Ludwig.

"Those soldiers are all dead." Robert narrowed his eyes and said.

Ludwig nodded, and then suddenly dragged Robert towards the bottom of the city wall.

"Hey, hey, hey, let's talk it over if we have something to say. Can you please stop grabbing my arm armor and running around all of a sudden? I'm already thinking about what you said very seriously!" Robert asked unhappily. Ludwig complained.

Ludwig's tone was full of apologies but his steps became faster: "Sorry, Mr. Robert, I didn't mean to offend you, but I think we should leave the city wall immediately."

"Huh? Why?" Robert asked in confusion.

Then he heard a sound breaking through the air getting closer and closer to him, as if something huge was crashing here.

There really is a huge boulder hitting here!

Ludwig reacted quickly, dragging Robert back and raising the Kalia Knight Shield to cover.

Then the two Faded Ones felt the ground shake. The passage leading to the steps of the city wall in front of them was broken by a huge boulder, and the tower behind them was also destroyed. The flying rubble ricocheted towards Ludwig's raised shield and two other people. There was a sound on the armor.

"Cough cough cough -" Robert coughed a few times. Fortunately, the samurai helmet had protection for his mouth and nose, which prevented him from inhaling more dust.

Ludwig pulled Robert up and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Mr. Robert?"

Robert nodded to Ludwig, indicating that he was fine: "Thanks to you just now, Ludwig. How did you know that this stone was going to fall here?"

Ludwig replied: "As long as the commanders of the Charles Empire are not stupid, they will fight back in the same way. Mr. Robert, you shouldn't have been on the battlefield a few times, right?"

Robert admitted: "Yes, when I came to the junction, I only heard about the great fight between the Valkyrie and General Broken Star in Galede, but it ended when I rushed over with my companions. I really didn't experience it. Live a real battlefield.”

"So Mr. Robert is good at using less to defeat more?" Ludwig's tone gradually became serious.

Robert nodded easily: "Of course. If you can't fight more with less in the Reed Land, I'm afraid you will become a dead soul under someone else's samurai sword the next day."

Then he asked curiously: "Why do you suddenly ask me this?"

Ludwig pointed to the smashed city wall in front of him and replied: "Because you and I will be relied on to face the soldiers from the Charles Empire who come to attack the city later."

Robert followed Ludwig's fingers and realized that a piece of the city wall in front of him had been smashed by a catapult from the Charles Empire's counterattack. The ruins of the fallen city wall formed an irregular slope.

Their left side was blocked by the huge boulder, and their right side was blocked by the collapsed city wall towers. Robert could also hear other French Holy Empire soldiers on the city wall calling for help and helping to remove the rubble. .

Then he looked outside the city wall. The charging soldiers of the Charles Empire were attacking the collapsed city wall in front of him and Ludwig with very clear purpose.

"I feel like my luck has been pretty bad since I came to this world." Robert complained and began to place the props he wanted to use on the ground one by one for easy throwing and use.

Ludwig asked: "What's the difference?"
