Legendary Hero

The number of cavalry troops was beyond the expectations of everyone in Clear Water City. When the entire cavalry team appeared in the sight of various officials, the horseshoes on the plain were thunderous. A dark army came over like a dark cloud.

Looking at the scale, there are at least six or seven thousand people.

The flags in the army include the fiery red maple leaf flag, the blue stag flag, and the silver-gray roaring brown bear flag, which shows that this team is composed of the armies of three noble lords.

The stag represents the Marquis of Nugli in the east of the principality, and the brown bear is the mark of Earl Langries, the owner of Oak County in the south of the three counties in the Red Maple Province.

For Clearwater City, which currently has less than 15,000 soldiers, these 6,000 soldiers are really a huge force, especially the presence of Earl Maple Leaf, who seems to be the most powerful man in the Principality, who can defeat the sword master of the full moon. A peerless figure whose swords would fly away. Once he came, along with the paladin Joseph Martin, Moro Volgan was no longer a threat.

Officials of Clearwater City, who were heavy hearted just now because of the ambush of the Radiant Knights, all had sincere smiles on their faces, and their hearts increased a lot of confidence in defending Clearwater City.

The lord of Bishui City, Follino, heaved a sigh of relief, and said to the paladin beside him, "If the devil of Moluogen dares to come again, he will probably never return."

Joseph nodded slightly: "Indeed, I feel more relieved that Earl Maple Leaf can come."

His gaze was fixed on the cavalry team coming forward. In his eyes, the cavalry in front of him was clearly divided into two parts.

Some of the cavalry were wearing fine chain mail, and the officers were in knight plate armor. They were as imposing as a tiger, and they were powerful and aggressive. These cavalry had the Maple Leaf emblem on their bodies. There were 3,000 of them, and they should all be soldiers of the Earl of Maple Leaf.

The other 3,000 people couldn't do it, they were only wearing ordinary studded leather armor, and they didn't have that sharp aura, but they were a little ruffian.

This kind of fighter is more than enough to help defend the city wall, but if they want to fight head-to-head with their opponents on the plain, they will probably collapse before the fight begins. The emblems on these soldiers are naturally stags and brown bears.

An earl owning 3,000 elite warriors, which actually violated the principality's laws, but Joseph was not surprised.

The Church of the Lord of Radiance is independent from secular battles and never participates in disputes among nobles. The most intense means of expressing their suggestions are solidarity and protest. The Knights of Radiance have never served any nobles. , such as Grand Duke Lehman is not worth mentioning, and the daily task is only to eliminate the dark forces.

Because of this, the aristocrats were not fortified against the Radiance Church, and the Church naturally had a better understanding of the situation on the mainland.

Joseph already knew about the relationship between Earl Maple Leaf and Fex Island. He also knew about the fact that the fleet went south to rescue the orcs. Joseph was also very clear about Earl Maple Leaf's secret accumulation of power.

In a peaceful age, this is of course a great bad thing, and it will only bring about war and disputes. But when this undead army is wreaking havoc on the continent, any power is precious. As long as the Earl of Maple Leaf does not go against the grain, the church will remain silent and even silently support the Earl. For example, when the fleet goes south, those holy water and holy crystals It is all from the hands of the church.

Therefore, the appearance of Earl Maple Leaf in Clear Water City now gave Joseph far more encouragement than others, because he knew the Earl's strength best and deeply understood how powerful his assistance was.

Just as he was meditating, the cavalry team had already approached, and some of them stopped in an orderly manner, while the other appeared to be chaotic, with people shouting and neighing, and it took a while for them to stop.

A warrior wearing dark green exquisite battle armor galloped forward. The horse was as strong as a dragon, and the knight on the horse had a deep temperament. It was the Earl of Maple Leaf himself. He first saluted Joseph Martin: "Your Highness."

Joseph also touched his chest and saluted: "Count."

Luo Lin nodded to the officials in Clearwater City again, as a greeting, and then said, "This time, the 1,800 soldiers of the Marquis Nugli and the 1,200 soldiers of the Earl of Langris are all under my command. City Lord, my soldiers have been rushing all the way day and night, and need to rest and recuperate, so I will trouble you to arrange it."

As for the two lords, of course they didn't come, they were all lustful, good at going to women, going to the battlefield? Not even qualified to be transformed into undead.

Follino agreed with a happy face: "Of course, of course."

As for Earl Maple Leaf's excessive number of fighters, everyone present chose to ignore this point. They wished that the more fighters they came to support, the better.

Clear Water City did not have to worry about food and grass. All the nobles and lords knew the importance of the defense line of Clear Water City. The fall of Baiyun City was really imminent. So everyone is desperately supporting them, and they really even paid out their family money. With a population of less than 100,000 in the current Clear Water City, it will be no problem to eat hard for three years.

The gate of the city was opened wide, and Luo Lin led more than 6,000 soldiers into the city. Walking along the way, I saw panic on the faces of ordinary people in the city. These people were originally going to flee, but now they should be forced to stay. Most of them are craftsmen and strong men, because of the defense of the city wall. Fortifications require the strength of these people, and soldiers need to save their strength and work hard with others. It is impossible to do such rough work.

There are also a lot of fighters on the street, there are regular troops, there are mercenaries, and there are more on the wall in the distance. The distance here is far, and a person on the wall looks like an ant. They are there to strengthen the wall and prepare various defensive equipment.

A tense atmosphere of imminent war hangs over the city located by the clear water lake.

Soon, Luo Lin's soldiers were taken to a temporary camp. The camp was very simple, but fortunately, there was enough food and drink. This is not the time to be picky. Everyone came all the way, and they were indeed tired. After eating something, they all retreated into the camp to rest.

Luo Lin rejected the invitation of the city lord of Clearwater City, so he found an independent tent in this camp. He must stay with his soldiers at all times. In case of a battle, he must immediately let his soldiers know that he exists.

Because no matter how well trained these soldiers are, they haven't seen much blood, and they are still fresh and tender after all.

As for Angela, she is also wearing battle armor now, hiding among the warriors, and no one has discovered her. After thinking about it, she decided to stay in the camp. Of course, she had special care and had her own independent tent.

The next few days were relatively calm, except for the scouts who kept bringing back the undead on the eastern plain, there were sporadic warriors coming from all over to join the army, about fifty or sixty people a day.

Luo Lin has not been idle these days. He communicated with the lords from all over the country who came to support him, and finally established the leadership of this defensive battle, that is, the military commander of Clearwater City. All the lords listened to his arrangements.

This is a matter of course. First, he brought the most fighters, more than 6,000, accounting for more than 25% of the total number of defenders. Second, his fighters are the most elite, and at the same time, his own force is also convinced by everyone. .

On the fifth day, the scouts brought back a message that the undead had already left Baiyun City. The number of them was so dense that it was impossible to count them. One part went to the lakeside fortress on the south bank of Bishui Lake. The number is hard to estimate, but it is definitely not less than 50,000 people, and these do not include the undead who deliberately hid their whereabouts.

One hundred thousand undead, not mentioning the combat power, just this number is frightening, and a shadow is cast over the sky of Clear Water City in an instant.

When he heard the news, Luo Lin was with a lord in a temporary command room beside the city wall of Clearwater City. Surrounded by seven or eight lords, several of these lords came to join the battle, and naturally they also had corresponding force, and each of them acted as a temporary branch commander.

Passed the documents brought by the scouts one by one, and when all the lords understood the situation, Luo Lin said, "What do you guys think?"

The lord of Fusion Steel City, Marquis Mullen de Charlehan, stood up. He is a great knight, a 37-level elite fighter, with fiery red hair and beard, and a black battle armor. He is tall and mighty: "The undead coming towards us, There are at least 100,000 low-level undead, and less than 20,000 truly powerful high-level undead. Although the undead attacking the lakeside fortress are not as many as ours, there are 40,000 high-level undead. Obviously, the undead are preparing to break through from the lakeside fortress !"

As for Swan Castle, the undead will definitely not go this way, because Swan Castle is built on a bridge, and if it is urgent, the commander of the fortress will definitely blow up the bridge.

Some people may have doubts, why don't the undead dive from the bottom of the lake, and they don't want to breathe. In fact, the human race had already had a solution to this point. They pulled multiple fishing nets at the bottom of the lake, and arranged a breath monitoring magic circle, so that they would detect any undead passing by.

Detecting the undead is only the first step, the second step is to pour holy water into the lake. The power of holy power is very unique. It spreads very fast when it is in water, and its effect is also very good.

As long as the human race does this, the undead at the bottom of the water will probably stay at the bottom of the lake forever.

This method is a precious legacy of the war between light and dark thousands of years ago.

What Mu Lun said is very reasonable, and the strategy of the undead is also in line with common sense. Clear Water City has many soldiers and high food, and it is difficult to capture. Assault on the lakeside fortress, as long as they break through, there will be a flat river behind, and then cooperate with the Davik fortress, and it is only a matter of time before the Principality of Lehman becomes the kingdom of the undead.

"The situation is obvious. We must go to support the lakeside fortress. I suggest sending 10,000 troops to the fortress by boat. The remaining 10,000 of us here can completely defend Clear Water City." It was Viscount Crodron, the lord of Ximu City, who spoke.

Luo Lin listened quietly, saying that actually, he had a relatively risky plan, which was to go out of the city, directly defeat the undead army, and then send his troops south to support the fortress.

It is true that there are many undead in the besieged city, but his undead nemesis is about to arrive. With that thing, it is not difficult to use his 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard, followed by 7,000 cavalry in the city, and charge all the way to kill the undead commander.

He was about to speak his mind, when suddenly a soldier came to report: "The great knight Zacrow led an elite army of 10,000 to support him, and he has already arrived outside the city."

As soon as the news came out, all the lords present were overjoyed, and Luo Lin felt a little relieved, but then, he thought of a question.

Zac Luo brought 20,000 elite soldiers here, then he will be the commander of Clearwater City, and he and his army will be in an extremely embarrassing situation, because no matter what, his 3,000 cavalry violated the Lehman The Grand Duke's decree is suspected of treason, and Zakro is the most loyal to Grand Duke Lehman.

These thoughts swept through Rowling's mind in an instant, and then he made a decision: "No matter, let's look at Zacrow's attitude first."
