Heroes of the Invincible Knight

The atmosphere of the Kingdom War has become more and more intense. The 300,000 Western Territory Army led by the Duke of Ross has already set off one after another after resting near the capital for a week, heading towards Longxi Pass.

Because the Ross family has always been strict with the army, although the 300,000 troops were stationed in the most prosperous area of ​​the kingdom, they basically did not cause any troubles, but these 300,000 were old soldiers who had seen blood in the western region. The faint murderous aura that came out when they were together still made the civilians hide far away and did not dare to approach, and the 300,000 troops marched silently towards Longxiguan.

With this amount of cavalry plus auxiliary soldiers, the food consumed during the march is absolutely astronomical. Fortunately, the Golden Dragon Kingdom has accumulated for hundreds of years. The succession system of the Charlemagne family guarantees that the person sitting on the throne The lower limit of the ability, not to mention Dai Dai Mingjun, but there has never been an idiot. At this time, all the accumulation of the bottom of the warehouse has been emptied, and there is no shortage of food and supplies for the Western Territory Army.

Moreover, this road passes through the central plain, and most of the journey is on the largest granary in the kingdom, and there is no need to transport grain for thousands of miles. Everywhere there are local nobles and officials preparing supplies for the army. The morale and overall condition of the army remained good, but most people didn't know their combat goal this time, and thought it was just going to Longxi Pass to help in the battle, and many people were even a little excited.

"Hey, it's really boring to fight those earth skin lizards in the desert. I have long wanted to fight the rumored orcs. I heard that the nobleman in the north became the hero of the kingdom because he defeated the orcs, and he was also tied with Lord Ross. .

This time at Dragon's Breath Pass, we have to let people know that our Western Territory Army is powerful, and their people from the North can step on orcs, and we can't embarrass Lord Ross. "

"Captain, you said that if we defeat the orcs, what else can our Lord Duke do?"

This question made the captain ask, the Ross family's hereditary duke position is already at the top of the title, if he makes a great contribution on the battlefield of Dragon's Breath Pass, wouldn't it be unsealable?

"That doesn't matter. Anyway, our Western Region Army has made great achievements. The king must show something. If there is nothing, we will go get it ourselves."

This group of soldiers of the Western Territory Army is very similar to the soldiers of the Northland. Richard is the god of the northern border, and the Ross family is the heaven of the West. The soldiers of the Western Territory Army also have no awe of the kingdom and the Charlemagne family. The ones who are in awe may only be the dragon knights of the kingdom, but the northern army is a little bit more, because their own dragons are more than the kingdom.

"Captain, I heard that those orcs are very powerful, and they are all comparable to quasi-knights. Their skin is as impenetrable as a giant lizard."

"I don't believe that any leather is sharper than the sabers in our hands. So what about a quasi-knight, I'm still a quasi-knight."

"If their skin is really that hard, then peel it off and make leather armor."

"Hahaha…"

"What are you doing behind, be quiet."

The soldiers and captain who were still laughing just now were stared at by the officers in front, and immediately lowered their heads, and the team returned to silence.

After marching for one day, the sun was about to set. Because there was no need to rush, the army was not going to travel at night. There was a fixed camp ahead of the marching route. The nearby nobles and officials had prepared supplies in advance. After arriving, the army could rest overnight.

The Duke of Ross, who was walking in the front, was wearing a plain dark yellow armor and a dark red cloak, which was quite conspicuous among the senior officers.

Looking at the setting sun that was about to set and the invisible army behind him, his expression was a little serious, not as optimistic as the soldiers and officers under him.

As a master at the pinnacle of the earth rank and a figure at the top of the human pyramid, Ross has a better understanding of the strength of the orcs, and he also knows the goal of his trip, and he doesn't know how many of the soldiers brought out from the west this time will be able to return alive.

Dragon City

royal palace

In a side hall in the garden, Ren and Saul were sitting on chairs discussing something.

"Uncle Wang, where is Rose's Western Territory Army?"

"They arrived in the area of ​​Fort Reck last night. After settling in for one night, they have already brought the first batch of supplies and continued to march towards Dragon's Breath Pass. According to the current speed, they should be able to reach Dragon's Breath Pass within a month."

"How's the preparation over there?"

"In addition to the 300,000 cavalry brought by the Duke of Ross, there are 300,000 elites waiting on the South Road of Longxiguan. The army has been assembled, and we can cooperate only when the Duke of Ross arrives."

"Can the 600,000 people on the South Road break through the orc's line of defense?"

There were only two people in the side hall, and the confidentiality work of this active attack was done very well. Although most of the upper echelons of the kingdom knew that a decisive battle with the orcs was about to break out, that's why the kingdom was constantly concentrating elites on Dragon's Breath Pass. Everyone was called.

But no one knows that Ryan, Saul, and Ross are playing such a big game, and they actually want to concentrate their elites to take the initiative to attack once. Including Harris, Richard, and Kurtz, only six people know the plan so far .

Therefore, when Ren and Sol discussed the plan, they only conducted it in this unmanned side hall.

"The cavalry of the Western Territory Army are all riding the best horses in the Western Territory. They are all elite cavalry who have been battered for a long time. The 300,000 Western Territory cavalry, together with the infantry of Longxi Pass, is another surprise attack. With the ability of the Duke of Ross, It shouldn't be a big problem to break through the orcs' southern line."

"The orcs have been attacking for a hundred years, and their defense has been lax..."

"After the Western Territory Army broke through the southern line, 300,000 infantry formed camps on the spot to defend the southern retreat route, and the Western Territory Cavalry immediately went around to the orc middle army to cooperate with the main force. We can concentrate at least three times as many troops as the orcs in a short period of time. And they're all elite."

"How sure are you?"

"Fifty percent."

"Fifty percent..."

After listening to Saul say the probability of 50%, Ren repeated it again and closed his eyes and fell into silence. Finally, he only answered:

"Fifty percent is not low."

Humans were already at an absolute disadvantage. If we could win this battle, defeat part of the orc army and destroy the supplies that the orcs had hoarded before the Dragon's Breath Pass, at least they could delay the orc's attack for another five years and win the kingdom five years of peace. The preparation time is worth the risk.

"If the North Route Army goes well, our chances of success may be 20% higher."

"The terrain on the North Road is complicated. It has to pass through dense forests and high mountains. Can the North Road Army with only 100,000 people have such a big impact?"

"After all, the Northern Route Army still has giant dragons. With giant dragons to cooperate in the battle, there should be no problem breaking through the orc defenses on the northern line. As long as they break through the northern line, they can directly reach the orc plateau."

"If we don't consider marching from the north road, and arrange Li Cha to cooperate in the middle road, with those giant dragons and elites in his hands, we should be more confident in defeating the orcs directly in the middle road."

Ren still struggled with how to use Richard, but Saul still insisted on his opinion.

"Your Majesty, if the Northern Route Army passes through the dense forest, it is equivalent to reaching the hinterland of the orcs. The Northern Route Army will be closer to the capital of the orcs than any of us..."

"A human army with the cooperation of a giant dragon appears near the orc king's capital. It will definitely attract the attention of a large number of orcs. The orcs will even give up supporting the middle road and go to encircle and suppress the northern army."

If it is just an ordinary human army, even if it breaks through the northern dense forest, it will not affect the decision of the orcs, but if Richard leads the dragon out of the northern dense forest, it will pose a substantial threat to the core of the orcs. To put it bluntly, in Thor's plan, the Northern Army is a large bait to attract the attention of the orcs, disrupt the judgment of the orcs, and thus reduce the pressure on the middle road.

However, Sol didn't have the idea of ​​cheating Richard. Anyway, as long as the dragon and Richard himself are not stupid, they will never be easily left by the orc army. It's just that the 100,000 North Route Army who cooperated in the battle took on the most dangerous mission. , in Sol's plan, they will follow Li Cha's army to go deep and approach the orc king's capital to achieve the effect of mobilizing the orc army. After falling into a tight siege, Li Cha and the dragon have a chance to go away. The 100,000 army is a narrow escape up.

As for the matter of actually taking down the orc capital, neither Thor nor Ren had thought of such a good thing. Their combat goal was very clear, to defeat as many orc armies as possible, and destroy the orcs who had been in the dragon's breath for many years. The materials hoarded before the pass disrupted the orcs' attack plan and bought more preparation time for themselves.

"Is there any news from Kurz?"

"Li Cha has already agreed on a time of arrival. Based on my understanding of Li Cha, he should abide by the agreement."

It was really good for Li Cha to leave a good impression of Sol at that time, so even if Li Cha beat Asuo violently, Saul still believed in Li Cha.

Of course, the kingdom doesn't know about black powder and the system, and even if the kingdom has never beaten orcs, Li Cha can push him even after a few years, so from the kingdom's perspective, helping the kingdom defeat the orcs is also in line with Richard's In terms of interests, without the kingdom standing in front of him, it would be difficult for Richard to continue to dominate the Northland.

"Um"

Ren nodded, which can be regarded as approval of Sol's judgment on Richard. Judging from the current situation, if Richard wants to break the contract, he can ignore Kurtz, and there is no need to make so many detours. Anyway, The kingdom can't help but go north.

"When is Uncle Wang going to leave for Longxi pass?"

As the core of this battle, Solga, who is at the sky level, and a mature golden dragon who cooperates tacitly, is definitely a trump card for the kingdom, and Sol naturally bears the heaviest responsibility.

He will be the commander of the central army and coordinate the three-way operations. Now that the southern army has left, it is natural for Sol to go to Dragon's Breath Pass.

"In the past two days, Asuo and I will set off for Longxi Pass, and leave the affairs of the king's capital to His Majesty."

Now everyone knows that there is still a Master Qing sitting in the palace, so there is no need for Sol to stay in the capital to guard all the time.

"Um"

"Uncle Wang must come back alive."

"You must do your best."

"What I mean is, regardless of victory or defeat, Uncle Wang will come back alive."

Sol obviously misunderstood it at first, thinking that Ryan meant to let him return victorious, but obviously what Ryan meant was to let him return to the capital alive no matter whether he wins or loses.

Ren stared at Saul, with a rare stare in his eyes, and said word by word:

"The kingdom can live without me, but it cannot live without Uncle Wang."

"His Majesty…"

"Promise me. If you can't do anything, just leave the army and go back to Longxi pass alone."

Renn still has some understanding of his uncle Wang's temper. It may be more uncomfortable to let him escape on the battlefield than to kill him, so he must agree.

In a sense, Sol's prestige and personal strength in the army are indeed more important than Ren. When Ren died, both the eldest prince Ward and the fourth prince Paley could quickly replace him, but Sol If Er dies, no one can replace him.

Seeing Ren's gaze, Saul nodded after hesitating for a while, as he agreed.

Seeing Sol agree, Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief. When Sol was about to leave, Harris, who had been outside the door, walked in. He had been waiting outside the hall before, and he also prevented anyone from eavesdropping.

"Your Majesty, Master Saul, Master Eldor wants to see you."

"Mage Eldor?"

When Ren and Saul heard the name, they couldn't help showing puzzled expressions. If a certain important minister had to rush to see Ren at this time, there might be some urgent matter, but the name Eldor is really serious. It was so strange that Ren couldn't remember who it was, and he didn't know how this person was qualified to enter the palace and let Harris, who was guarding outside, come in to report.

"Your Majesty, Eldor is a court mage."

Seeing Ryan's puzzled expression, Harris had no choice but to remind him, which made Ryan react.

Although the court mages were raised as rice bugs in the Golden Dragon Kingdom, the Aragon era left a lot of privileges for the mages, such as tokens that can enter and leave the palace, and the qualification to meet the king directly when encountering important events .

It’s just that most of the court mages who have lost their magical powers know it well. They are very low-key in the kingdom, and they can just live with a lot of money. How dare they use the privileges left by Aragorn to annoy the king behind them.

Just now, Master Eldor took the token and directly entered the palace. When he came to this side hall, Harris, who knew the rules, could only come in and report immediately.

With Harris' reminder, Ren knew the other party's identity, but after knowing the other party's identity, he became even more confused. Why did the court mage who couldn't cast magic come to him in such a hurry?

"Forget it, Harris, you go and let him in."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ren is fine at this time anyway, and the court mage offered to see him, which is the first time since Ren took the throne.

Soon, Master Eldor was brought in by Harris. Master Eldor looked a little older than Gandolf, but his body was still tough, and his expression looked very excited at this time. He even forgot to salute Ren, and only after meeting Ren's gaze did he realize that he bowed immediately.

"Honorable His Majesty Ren, I have noticed that the magic power is recovering..."
