A strange world

Chapter 970 Section 201. Frontal battlefield

[Dear Mr. Francois:

I have received your letter. The contact these days has made me yearn for you, Liberty City, Lord Annan, and the future you described.

If I were a few years younger, I might definitely go to Liberty City and witness a miracle of rise with my own eyes.

But this is war, which turns brothers against each other, separates mothers and children, and makes everything we cherish dissipate in flames. This may be stupid, even foolish, but loyalty is the motto of knights, so please end our fate on the battlefield.

It's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to talk to you face to face.

Jones, the leader of the Green Radish Knights. ]

Francois read the letter again with some emotion, then put it away and walked outside.

The afterglow of dusk was obscured by heavy gunpowder smoke.

……

Outside the outskirts of Xinger City, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and scorched earth, and a doomsday picture was unfolding on the battlefield in the distance.

The guards led by the prince himself and the Green Radish Knights stopped outside the range of the magic artillery. They had fought several times. Relying on the mobility of the cavalry and the protection of the mage group, they only left a few corpses to figure out the power of the magic artillery.

The prince riding a dragon-blood white horse came to the front and shouted: "Get out of the Kingdom of Rekanel. I spared you because that kid was once the King of the North."

His words echoed between the battlefields, but there was silence on the side of Xinger City.

"It seems that you have made a decision..." The prince's face became ferocious, and he drew his long sword, "Then go to hell!"

Dongdongdongdong——

The honor guard beat the war drums, and the cloaks of the Green Radish Knights in armor trembled in the wind.

"Jones, lead your troops to the front."

The leader of the Green Iris Knights frowned: "Prince, the cavalry will suffer huge casualties if they charge the city wall-"

"This is what you should do!" As the prince shouted coldly, his personal guards quietly came to the leader, "Do you really think I don't know? The Green Iris Knights and the people of Free City are secretly colluding and refusing to attack the city."

"Since you insist..." Jones glanced at the guards standing on both sides, knowing that he had been suspected, sighed, and returned to the team.

"Everyone, cover the ears of the war horses!"

All the war horses' ears were covered with cloth, and Jones mounted the war horses: "Line up! Start charging!"

The Green Iris Knights ran slowly, and behind them, the guards carried the shields printed with royal articles, both to prevent the Green Iris Knights from retreating and to suppress the formation, and pressed forward under the blessing magic of the mages wearing robes inlaid with gems.

The Hellfire Legion on the city wall began to fire in unison, and the fire and smoke intertwined into one, like stars in chaos.

However, the main battlefield was the magic corps of both sides. They waved their staffs, releasing magical brilliance, turning the battlefield into a purgatory - the Guards and the Knights were dying, while Xing'er City was safe and sound.

After all, melee and ranged wars have always been mutual slaughters, either the former slaughters or is slaughtered.

Francois came to the city wall and shouted to the battlefield: "Stop, you can't win. Think carefully, are you really willing to dedicate your excellent qualities to this crumbling country?"

The prince roared: "Don't believe them, they are invaders! The end of invaders is only death!"

"Invaders? The real invaders are the ratmen who drove you here and are still spreading the plague!" Francois's voice was louder than his. "You don't even have the courage to raise your sword to the strong enemy!"

His shouts echoed over the battlefield, but neither the Kingdom soldiers nor the Free City stopped fighting each other.

The sword light and artillery fire intertwined into one. The Knights of the Guards swung their swords, splitting sparks and launching a fierce attack.

As they got closer, Fermi came to Francois: "The magic artillery is ready."

"... Free attack."

Perhaps the time in Liberty City made Francois kind, but after seeing the struggle in Xinger City, he became the unscrupulous "Shameless Baron" again.

Kindness at this time will only taste bitter fruit.

As the Knights approached, the power of the musket became increasingly obvious. Many professionals could no longer swing their swords to deflect bullets by reaction, but could only deviate or even be shot out of the gap.

There are always people who equate magic muskets with arcane missiles.

Their power is indeed similar, and magic muskets have the advantage of being reloaded at any time.

But in fact, magic muskets are more like archers. Full damage to unarmored and light armor, heavy armor just "ding"

Improved gunpowder can only allow magic muskets to penetrate the weak points of plate armor within 10 yards, but usually in this situation, the enemy moves faster.

The Green Rose Knights are getting closer and closer. There is no time to think about it. Fermi ordered all magic artillery to fire.

Bang bang bang——

The roar of the magic artillery was deafening. Even though the warhorse had its ears blocked, it was still in a commotion, and then it was clamped by the knight on its back and forced to rush to the city wall.

"Charge!!!"

Jones used roars to maintain morale. He was ready to be crushed into minced meat by the shells. He only hoped that he could keep the knights behind him alive...

Bang!

The shells streaked across the sky like meteors, fell to the ground with a bang, and smashed into the guards behind.

Jones raised his head in astonishment.

Francois also raised his head at the same time.

"I'm not that kind. It's just that it's difficult for a group of knights to break through the city wall. The real threat is the mages." Femi said.

The shells fell into the Guards, especially the mage group. Their magic shield, which could resist a large amount of magic but was weak to the sheer impact, instantly shattered, crushing the mages who were still casting spells into a pulp and smashing them to pieces. .

At least in front of dozens of pounds of solid artillery shells, their strength was no different from the soldiers they had always looked down upon.

The Green Rose Knights, who were about to reach the city wall, suddenly seemed to have been forgotten, and there was no longer any firepower directed at them.

They didn't know what to do at once, even though many of their companions were unlucky enough to be hit by magic muskets through the weak points of the plate armor in the previous charge, and their horses were shot and rolled down...

The prince almost broke his teeth when he looked at the miserable state of the Guards.

"Damn it! The Green Rose Knights have indeed betrayed the kingdom. I want to kill them!"

The roaring prince was a little shaken, because as the Green Rose Knights defected, the Guards suffered heavy casualties, and he noticed that the scale of his strength began to tilt towards him...

He turned around and whispered something to his personal mage. The mage was a little surprised, but still carried out the order: a dazzling light shot out from his fingertips. The light was so dazzling that the soldiers on the battlefield could not Don't close your eyes.

When the light dissipated, the prince was gone.
