Carry the Ring of Elden with you

However, before the adjutant could recover, streaks of blue light erupted from the alley where Kom escaped, followed by the sound of the ether shield breaking and Kom's scream ending abruptly.

The same cyan-blue light and the sound of flesh being cut erupted from other alleys that Pulin City cavalry ran into.

"Cowardly ignorant people always gather in groups." Rodia looked slightly curious under the stone cover. He took the magic scroll from the dead Kom's hand that he hadn't had time to tear and put it away. In arms.

A highland warrior from the Kingdom of Austin looked at the mage whose face was hidden under a strange stone hood with a fearful expression, and asked cautiously: "Uh, Master Rodia, are we still ambush here now?"

Just now, the highland warriors of the Austin Kingdom saw the mage waving the magic wand in his hand lightly. He didn't even hear the sound of the spell being recited. He only felt a blue light suddenly flashing in front of his eyes.When the eyes of the highland warriors adjusted again, they were already covered with corpses of enemy cavalry and war horses that had been cut in half by unknown sharp weapons. The organs and blood flowing out filled the alley, filling the small space with a fishy stench. the taste of.

On both sides of the blocked streets, these seemingly escapable alleys have actually been ambushing some of the exiled soldiers led by the lost knights, the highland warriors of the Austin Kingdom, and the most important mages of pyroxene.

The magic used by Rodia to kill these enemies who fled into the alley is the most suitable for large-scale destruction in such a small space. It is as elegant as the bright waning moon hanging high in the sky at night [Pyroxene Curved Arc]

"Shuh-!!"

The ambush mages in various alleys used [Pyroxene Arc] to kill the cavalry who tried to escape one after another. The blood of these people slowly flowed out from the alley, making the cavalry behind them stop with even more horrified expressions. The horse looks like it is not a survival route, but a ruthless mouth that swallows life.

Then these stopped cavalry were beaten to death by the mountain demon knights who had broken into the cavalry formation with their golden giant swords.

But the pyroxen mages were not satisfied with the status quo. They arrived at the alley under the cover of friendly forces.

In the eyes of the cavalry in Pling City, it was another picture. They saw some mages coming out with strange human-face masks on their heads, and these hoods were all exactly the same!The cavalry, who were unaware of the situation, thought that these mages killed people and then peeled off their faces to make masks.In addition, their companions disappeared inexplicably after entering. Many cavalrymen were frightened and collapsed on the spot. They started crying for their fathers and mothers while riding on their horses.

Until these mages waved their staffs and began to use [Pyroxene Arc] to eliminate the cavalry on the street. Under the pressure of hopeless escape, the cavalry began to jump off their horses in embarrassment, dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground and raised their hands in surrender, begging for their lives.

"Surrender!!! We surrender!!"

The adjutant who was holding the red and blue flag dropped the flag in his arms before he was killed, and at the same time raised the white flag high and shouted loudly.

When the mountain demon knights saw these little humans who were running around and poking at their feet suddenly kneeling on the ground without moving, they all stood up and did not continue to attack. They held the bloody golden sword of the mountain demon and waited for the next instruction.

When the surrendering cavalry saw the mountain demon knights stop, they all breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear, thinking that these giants were the kind of war beasts that could easily lose their minds.

There is no way, these giants who wrap their bodies in thick steel armor are really too desperate. Even if the weapons in their hands are attached to the ether, they can only break a small mark, and the gold in the opponent's hands can only make a small mark. The giant sword was casually slapped on the ground, and when he picked it up, several compatriots were beaten into meat patties, and they couldn't be beaten at all.

The dwarves responsible for making the armor on the troll knights were trying to prevent ordinary armor from being penetrated by sharp weapons attached to the ether. They specifically tested how much weight the trolls could bear without affecting physical activities, and used as much metal as possible. To prevent this phenomenon from happening.

His Excellency the Dwarf Prince also shouted that if it were not for the lack of time, as long as Roland was willing to pay, he would dare to use precious special ores to make armor for the mountain monsters, and even some spells would be able to be ignored.

Rodia immediately stopped what he was doing, just shy of using the pyroxene arc.He looked at the temporary barrier made of rubble and wall panels with a pyroxene-covered face, waiting for Roland's order.

"Edgar, send someone to disarm them." Roland ordered after hearing the news of the cavalry's surrender: "Finally we have dealt with this cavalry, otherwise the other allies will have to rush to kill them for a while with the cooperation of the mages. I'm afraid that other allies will There’s really no way to resist.”

Then Roland looked at the location in the center of the city, the blue magic barrier and the towering sky, and said to himself: "Then only the enemies in the center of the city will be left."

Chapter 89: Battle for Pulin City [-]

"You bastard! How dare he take the cavalry and act without my order!"

At three o'clock in the morning, in the General's Mansion, which was protected by a blue barrier in the central area of ​​Puling City, Lu Si'en's voice came out angrily from the mansion.Also heard was the sound of a chair being smashed to the ground, and the broken chair legs jumped out and landed at the door.

The two guards on guard looked at each other curiously, but soon realized that their general was angry.

In order not to touch their brows, they immediately put their legs together and stood straight again from their somewhat sloppy stance.

In the house, General Lu Si'en's son Hawthorn was hurriedly comforting his angry father after reporting the intelligence. He poured a glass of water and handed it over and said: "Father, don't be too excited. Drink some water first to calm your nerves. Maybe General Kem Did he take the unauthorized action because he saw an opportunity that could turn the tide of the war?"

The water glass that Lu Si'en had just received was almost crushed in his hand when he heard Huo Thorne's words. He cursed angrily: "What kind of fighter plane can make him resist orders to catch it? Ah? He in Nancheng District and Dongcheng District I have tasted the sweetness, and now my behavior is clear. I heard that among the enemies there is the Golden Dynasty, which His Majesty Judah has always hated, and then I want to rely on the mobility of my cavalry to capture the opponent's commander-in-chief to gain military glory."

Then he showed a heartbroken expression: "You are really confused! If the commander of the Golden Dynasty can be so easy to catch, then how did Old General Slit get captured alive? Then how did Wylis of the Green Leaf Family end up in Leiden? The city fell down? The enemy's flying dragon is clearly hovering in the sky. How dare he, Kom, take more than 3000 cavalrymen from Pulin City to die!"

Hawthorn could only continue to comfort him: "Not necessarily. Father, you also know that among the allied armies sent by the Holy Empire of France this time, except for the soldiers of the Golden Dynasty, the other countries are all country chickens and dogs. It’s worth mentioning. Look at the South City Gate and the East City Gate, we killed and captured many people because these allies were too stretched. You said that if the generals of the Golden Dynasty were dragged down by other allies and had no time to take care of themselves, and Kom The general seized this opportunity and stormed into the enemy's headquarters, which is also a good thing for us."

When Lu Si'en heard Hawthorne's words, he looked at his mentally retarded son: "If others hear this, don't say you are my son in the future. That would be too stupid."

"Huh?" Hawthorn looked confused.

Lu Si'en looked at his son's expression and said, "You better not play tricks with those who play politics in the future. Let me ask you, among the allies you have recruited is a flying dragon with very strong combat capabilities, and this The allies have already deflated the Charles Empire twice. If you were the emperor of the Holy Empire of France, would you choose those allies who cannot hold up the wall as the commander-in-chief of this alliance?"

Hawthorne shook his head repeatedly.

"Then let me ask you again, if you are the general of the Golden Dynasty, you have powerful flying dragons and those exaggerated giant allies. If the generals of other countries in the Allied Forces dare to deliberately do something during a war, You, what would you do?”

Hawthorn replied without thinking: "Then I definitely have two choices, either they will cooperate with my army's attack honestly, or I will ignore them and attack an area alone with the help of flying dragons and giants."

Lu Si'en asked at this time: "No matter what the opponent's situation is, do you still think that the generals of the Golden Dynasty will reveal their flaws and let Kom seize the opportunity?"

Hawthorn shook his head, then his expression changed, and he shouted with a bad expression: "No, it's over. It seems that General Kom doesn't know that the Golden Dynasty's troops attacking Pulin City include those giants! If he leads the cavalry to charge directly Something big will happen if we get to the city."

Although Hawthorne did not know the specific combat capabilities of the giant soldiers of the Golden Dynasty, those tall and strong figures were definitely not used as decoration.

Kom led the cavalry of Pling City to attack these tall giants, which was simply Illidan's ultimate move - seeking death.

At this moment, a scout held a sealed wooden box in his hand, and blood was slowly oozing from the small cracks at the bottom of the wooden box.The scout's face turned pale and he was escorted by two guards into the hall of the general's mansion.

Judging from his face, the scout was captured by Roland's homeless knights before the siege started. When Roland ordered people to pack up and evacuate from the base camp, the soldiers who were responsible for packing also took him with them. .

After Roland eliminated and captured the cavalry troops in Pulin City, he saw that it was just right and asked him to return to the center of the city holding the wooden box containing General Kemu's head and a few words to General Lu Si'en.

The scout returned in fear all the way. When he was walking on the streets in the center of the city filled with corpses of Gunther soldiers, he was afraid that the friendly troops at the end of the street would shoot him to death as an enemy.

After he explained his purpose and the mage checked that there were no self-destruction spell traps set by the enemy on his body, he was escorted to the city lord's palace.

"Who is it! Didn't I say that unless the enemy starts attacking, don't come in and bother me!" General Lu Si'en just heard what his son said. He was in a very bad mood at this time, and he opened his mouth to ask like a thunder in the summer.

This shout was nothing to ask the two guards in charge of custody. Instead, the scout's legs gave way and he knelt on the ground.

"Report to General Lu Si'en. The younger one is the scout who left the city this morning." The scout subconsciously hugged the wooden box containing the head with both hands and stammered about his identity.

Hawthorn looked over doubtfully and said, "All the scouts this morning have returned..."

Then he looked at the guard behind him who was responsible for guarding him. The guard who was looked at by Hawthorn immediately replied with understanding: "We have verified his identity and there is no problem. He was arrested when he went out to investigate in the morning. He was captured, and now he was released by the enemy for unknown reasons. He himself said that General Edgar of the Golden Dynasty had a gift that he wanted to personally give to General Lu Sien. The accompanying mage checked that there was no danger and then let us escort him over."

"Edgar of the Golden Dynasty gave me a gift?" Lu Si'en felt bad in his heart. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked the scout who was kneeling on the ground in a majestic tone, his body shaking like chaff: "What gift did he ask you to bring to me? "

The scout showed a smile that was uglier than crying. He wanted to swallow but found that his mouth was very dry. He could only bite the bullet and said with difficulty: "Back to the general, this little guy doesn't know what is in the wooden box. But based on my experience, I feel that what is placed in this wooden box should be a human head. He also asked me to bring you a sentence. He said: "Your Excellency is like a turtle in a urn. It is better to give up resistance and surrender early." good.'"

Head?Lu Si En felt a flash of uneasiness in his heart, but on the surface he acted as if he was angered by Edgar's last words, and shouted loudly: "Bold! How dare an unknown person ask me to surrender to him?"

Then, before anyone could react, he drew out his sword and strode forward, sealing the throat of the kneeling scout with his sword.

The scout's hands weakly let go of the wooden box, and the wooden box fell on the floor in the hall with a slight sound.

"You guys take the body out. I have something to say to General Hawthorn alone. I'll let my servants come in and clean it up later." Lu Si'en suddenly calmed down his emotions again and said coldly to the two guards, the sword in his hand stained The blood is constantly falling.

The two guards did not dare to express their anger, fearing that the enraged general would still be angry and vent his anger on himself. They hurriedly dragged the scout's body out of the hall of the general's mansion, not forgetting to close the door.

"Alas..." After the two guards disappeared, Lu Si'en inserted the sword in his hand back into the gorgeous scabbard on his waist and let out a sigh.

"Father?" Hawthorn asked in a low voice with concern.

Lu Si'en said in a cold tone: "That wooden box must be General Kem's head. If you don't believe it, just open it and take a look."

Hawthorn also drew out the sword he carried with him, pointed it at the wooden box, and threw out the sword energy, revealing the head of General Com, whom both father and son knew, underneath the remains of the wooden box.

"Hmph, now that the cavalry troops in Pulin City are finished, the enemy commander is trying to intimidate us." Lu Si'en said with some sullenness as he looked at General Kemu's dead head.

Hawthorn also felt a headache: "What should we do next, father? Without the cover of the cavalry, there is no way to stop even the enemy's attack, let alone a counterattack, with the strength we have now. No, let’s take our mother and little sister and run away from the south gate, right?”

Lu Si'en snorted coldly: "Stupid! Retreat? Do you think a four-legged horse can outrun that dragon flying in the sky? The rescue missions we sent out in the past few days were intercepted by that flying dragon. You let your mother If you run over there with your little sister, won't you harm them?"

Seeing Hawthorne's somewhat overwhelmed expression, Lu Sien frowned at his frustrated son and shouted, "Don't be like a headless fly. You are already a general who has to take charge of your own affairs. How can you show such an expression?" Pu Ling Nothing about the city has been finalized yet. With the legendary mage Master Anthony here, we have no chance of winning against that flying dragon and those giants."

Hawthorn smiled bitterly and replied: "But father, the enemies are not only flying dragons and giants, but also those knights in shining armor who were reported by the Holy Empire of France in the 'Battle of the Ancient City'. Even Master Anthony is the best at it." The attacking legendary mage of lightning system has no way to fight against so many powerful enemies."

"Don't worry, as long as we can hold on until tomorrow, our reinforcements will definitely arrive in Pulin City." Lu Si'en said with a mysterious expression.

Hawthorn asked in confusion: "Reinforcements? But father, even if Casterly Rock City, which is closest to us, sent out scouts on our first day and received the news of the request for reinforcements and sent out troops to support, it would still take ten days to reach Pling City. , How can this be in time? Moreover, the city wall was breached only half a day after the battle started, how can we survive until tomorrow?"

Lu Si'en looked like he was in control and asked, "Why do you think the Dragon Knight originally stationed in Pulin City was suddenly transferred?"

Hawthorne was not a fool. He immediately realized something after his father's reminder and said in surprise: "Could it be that the imperial military already knew about the Allied forces' attack on Pulin City? So why not just use Pulin as a warning?" Use the city as a bait, and then use thunder to destroy these unsuspecting allies, so that the defeated alliance will become dissatisfied with the Holy Empire of France?"

"You're not stupid after all." General Lu Si'en nodded, and then showed a sigh of relief: "The Holy Empire of France has existed for too long, and they have been riddled with holes internally for so long that they don't realize it. Even if the current Latu No matter how wise Emperor Er is, what's the use? If you want to remove those rotten tree roots, you have to be prepared for labor pains, and the current Emperor Latour doesn't have that spare time."

Hawthorn asked curiously: "Who did the military department get in touch with from the Holy Empire of France to learn this news?"

"Military Headquarters? No, those losers from the Military Headquarters are not that capable." General Lu Si'en shook his head, and then said with a fearful expression: "It's Ms. Lu Yi from the Lulan Chamber of Commerce."

Hearing the name "Lulan Chamber of Commerce," Hawthorn's expression changed unnaturally, and then he covered it up and said, "Does this Lulan Chamber of Commerce have such great ability? Isn't it just a group of businessmen."

"Hmph, it's because you have so many idiots with this idea that the Lulan Chamber of Commerce has reached out to all parts of Charles's empire!" Lu Si'en said bitterly: "And you, I know you have also been a member of the Lulan Chamber of Commerce in the city recently. We're very close. I don't care what deal you make in private. After all, you are an adult and I can't keep an eye on you forever. But if you dare to reveal secrets that shouldn't be told in the army, I'll see if I don't pull your leg. Interrupt."

Hawthorn's body trembled subconsciously: "No, father. They just treated me to a few meals, it's nothing."

"Hmph, first a few meals, then drinking wine and giving gifts, eating people with short mouths and taking advantage of short hands. When they ask you to do something, are you embarrassed to refuse?" Lu Si'en said disdainfully.

"This..." Hawthorn wanted to say that he could refuse, but after thinking carefully, he found that he really couldn't refuse. After all, if it was spread that the son of General Lu Si'en's family was a white-eyed wolf, it would bring shame to the family.

But he still said with some confusion: "But, the Lulan Chamber of Commerce is also a member of our Charles Empire. There is no need to be as exaggerated as you, father, to guard against them, right?"

Lu Si'en sneered: "Lulan Chamber of Commerce is a member of the Charles Empire. Why do you think so? Is it because the president of the Chamber of Commerce is Ms. Lu Yi, a nobleman of the Charles Empire? What if the next president is from another country? ? Today Lu Yi can get the military secrets of the Holy Empire of France, and tomorrow she may sell the secrets of our Charles Empire to the other party."

"Hawthorne, do you still naively think that Lulan Chamber of Commerce is a member of Charles' empire?"

Chapter 90: Battle for Pulin City [-]

Faced with his father's rhetorical question, Hawthorn hesitated and failed to give a clear answer.

Lu Si'en could see that his son was still a little doubtful about what he just said. He sighed and said, "You should think about these issues carefully after the enemy troops are eliminated."

Then Hawthorn smiled bitterly and said, "Father, it just so happens that I also want to talk about the problems of these enemy troops."

"You said."

Hawthorn said worriedly: "I know, father, you plan to hold on until the reinforcements arrive tomorrow, but the question now is how will we hold on until tomorrow? You must know that we have lost the Xicheng District and the Beicheng District in less than half a day. Although Ke General M's trespassing caused us to lose the cavalry, but without him we really couldn't stop the allies of the Holy Empire of France from attacking the East City. Now that we have even lost the cavalry, how can we sustain it for so long."

Lu Si'en's expression froze and turned ugly.The continuous battles that had just happened came back to him, making him seem to have lost his sense of time, making Lu Sien think that a long time had passed on the battlefield.After being reminded by his son, Lu Si'en realized that it took the enemy less than half a day to break through the city and clean up the west and north districts.

"The enemy mainly relies on the elite soldiers and generals of the Golden Dynasty to open a breakthrough." Lu Si'en said slowly while thinking: "If the Golden Dynasty is removed, according to the battlefield information that the scouts discovered this morning, there will only be Austin in the north. There is a slight threat to the country. Other countries such as Philemon and Gunther are not afraid."

"And we learned from the defeated defenders in Xicheng District that the number of soldiers from the Golden Dynasty this time was not large. If I were the commander of the Golden Dynasty, I would definitely not be happy to let my own soldiers do the first job. This is because the sacrifice will be huge. If I were to sacrifice even one person, I would be heartbroken. Therefore, the enemy has a high probability of letting soldiers from other countries attack first and fight a war of attrition with us. If this is the case, we will have a very good chance. Delay until tomorrow until reinforcements arrive.”

Hawthorne shook his head: "This is just a speculation, father. What if the generals of the Golden Dynasty directly send their own soldiers as sharp knives to attack the enemy? Even if they only send that flying dragon, it can have a serious impact on the morale of our army. Impact."

Lu Si'en showed a headache: "You don't need to remind me that I know that the situations I mentioned are subjective and subjective fantasies. I will let all the mage troops in Pulin City gather together. If soldiers from other countries attack, these mage Just conserve your energy until the flying dragons and giants of the Golden Dynasty appear, and then I will send them out to stop them. If the soldiers of the Golden Dynasty serve as the main attacker, then I will send Master Anthony to lead these mages to directly confront them."

Then Lu Si En's eyes turned sinister: "In addition, we arranged for soldiers to be stationed in the homes of wealthy merchants and residents who did not have noble titles in the center of the city, and told these soldiers that they could surrender to each other at will, but only after the other party entered the house. . This will allow the soldiers of the Golden Dynasty to waste time cleaning these houses little by little. I don’t believe that this can only buy less than a day. The enemy is not an iron man, and he also needs to eat, drink, and rest. Not to mention the huge general’s mansion. And the foolproof magic barrier protection, combined with the nearly a thousand elite soldiers waiting for work in our mansion, is enough to hold on until reinforcements arrive."

Hawthorne was stunned and said subconsciously: "Let the soldiers take the initiative to enter the homes of those businessmen? These businessmen will probably be very dissatisfied. I am afraid that the soldiers will conflict with these people."

"Hmph, then arrest them for treason. They are just a group of businessmen with bad money. Do you care so much about what they do? I only requisitioned their houses and did not take their lives. I am already very polite. My soldiers We have fought bloody battles to protect them, and now it is the turn of these merchants to contribute to Charles's empire."

Hawthorn hesitated to speak. Looking at the expression on his father's face, he finally gave up trying to dissuade him.But in his heart, he was planning to inform those businessmen who had good relations with him first.

At this time in Xicheng District, Roland was letting his soldiers carry out repairs.

After a morning of high-intensity fighting, they first conquered the city wall, then defeated the defenders in Xicheng District and supported the Allied forces in Beicheng District, and finally fought with the Pulin City cavalry troops who came in for a surprise attack. For example, the homeless knights were all sweating profusely and breathing a little quickly, not to mention the exiled soldiers who were slightly less physically strong.

It just so happened that it was approaching noon, so Roland simply issued an order to give the soldiers time to rest and eat.

The troll knights simply ate the food prepared for them, then lay down on the cold winter streets wrapped in thick armor and fell asleep.Fortunately, they have good physiques. If normal humans slept in such a harsh environment, some of them would never be able to wake up from their sleep.

As the biggest contributor this morning, Yakir had been hovering in the air for a long time and spitting out flames to support his allies. He had already fallen down and was enjoying a farm cow he had picked up from nowhere near Roland.

And thanks to Yakir's support from all over, the system interface in Roland's mind [Mission [-]: Rescue the Allied Forces in Crisis] has become completed.

Roland thought carefully about the reason why Mission [-] could be completed. I am afraid it was because Yakir went to the sky above the North City District to support the attacking allies there. Otherwise, the cavalry unit led by Kom would have wiped out the allies in the East City District. The army appeared outside the North City Gate as usual and cooperated with the defenders in Beicheng District to eliminate them.

Very good. Next, we only need to attack the city lord's palace protected by the magic barrier. The flag of the Golden Dynasty is flying over Pulin City, and Stonewell City can be completely unlocked.Roland thought with satisfaction.

Just when Roland's mood became better, he noticed the noise gradually starting to quarrel outside. The sound was that Ikosela was preventing someone from coming in. The person looked very dissatisfied.

"Do you need me to drive away the people outside?" Melina was holding a wooden round water cup with both hands and sipping the hot water inside. She saw Roland noticing the situation outside the door and asked softly.

Roland glanced at Melina: "So you've noticed it a long time ago?"

"I noticed the person outside the door when he first spoke." Melina replied, looking at Roland with her amber eyes, revealing a hint of tenderness: "I just saw you sinking into your personal world, so I didn't bother you. You. And I really like this kind of time alone with you. After all, in the past, you and I spent most of the time walking together in the border area under the bright golden light of the golden tree, right? "

Such a direct answer caught Roland off guard.

But in the current situation where "women play straight and men fight," Roland expressed disdain.There is no way for the faded ones to fight, they just give themselves good buffs and just go wild.

So even though his cheeks were a little hot, Roland responded very bluntly and gently: "Although I haven't recovered the memory of traveling with you in the border area yet, I think it must have been a journey that we are both very unforgettable. .”

Although Roland had memories of the plot of Elden's Circle while playing the game, and heard Melina tell her about what she did in the Junction, it was a bit blurry from beginning to end, as if something had sealed him in the Junction. Memories experienced personally.

However, Roland had a hunch that when he summoned [Golden Lord] Greg and the large rune fragment he possessed, the seal would be loosened, allowing him to recall part of his memories at the border.

After Roland said these words, it was Melina's turn to be caught off guard, but she didn't show it, she just smiled with joy from the bottom of her heart.

"I think I'd better go to the door to see what's going on. It might be some non-military situation, otherwise Ikosela wouldn't stop the people outside." Roland raised his hand and pointed back with his thumb, shrugging. She shrugged and said to Melina.

Melina nodded calmly, put the cup in her hand on the table, stood up and pushed their chairs back under the table.
