The Amber Sword

The fleeing knights and their attendants under the woodland. For those Viero soldiers who haven't seen the world, that scene is like falling on everyone's head at the end, letting them raise a personal fear from the bottom of their hearts, as if they felt that the fear is the As they pounced on them, they were isolated and helpless, and there was no place to die in the next moment. The private soldiers were scared like sieve brace, where there was courage to resist, only to drop their weapons, scream and flee, and in a blink of an eye, they completely collapsed.

And the sharp claws of the dread spirit seemed to hang in the midst of the air, swiping past the tops of these soldiers, swept the knight on horseback, and pulled him from the horse. The knight made a terrible shout, and a grumbling sound of the intestines and spine was pulled out of the lower body. The **** half of the body flew into the air, then fell down, and the shards of the internal organs and the stink blood flew across the ground. Only then did the terrifying howl make a harsh howl, and pierced through the woods again, flying high.

Vijero's supreme commander, Earl Jacques, looked at the scene whitishly. Thirty or forty phobias spread their wings several meters wide, driving from the air those who rushed into the forest from the collapse of the knights. Many knights Not killed by these undead at all, but cracked in the brain by a tree and killed alive; or dead by stepping on each other, especially those unscrupulous servants, as long as they are squeezed to the ground, the end is mostly A dead end. The scene of one or two thousand people being driven into a dense jungle like a duck is really sad and funny. If they have the courage to stop and fight back and forth, they may be able to retreat, but they have already been scared. With courage, I would rather scare myself to death than to stay and fight those nightmares.

The several noble commanders of the Viello army and the more noble knights looked at this ridiculous scene, but none of them could laugh. Count Jacques turned back and whispered a few words, and there were many priests in red robes and pointed top hats coming out of the forest. They held the holy things in one hand and the scriptures of the temple of the flames, and walked along the woods. The Cavaliers were whispering something as they walked. After a while, the visible white glimmer rose from the scriptures in their hands, forming a halo that gradually enveloped the entire army. Count Jacques felt as if a warm energy had been injected into his heart, and that power had not brought him any real benefit, but surprisingly had a soothing power that calmed him temporarily.

This is a blessing of courage. The aristocratic private army throbbing in the forest also seemed to be a little quieter in the recitation of the priest of the Temple of Fire.

"It's an aura of fear. Those screaming monsters must be relatively high-level undeads." Jacques held the hilt and said to everyone around him. Compared to his paler colleagues, Earl Jacques has at least experienced the Black Rose War, and is one of the few Viero generals who has dealt with Madara. In this matter, Archduke Viero regarded him as a close friend, and when Her Royal Highness Princess Brando came to consult her grandfather last time, Duke Viero asked him to answer. However, he was dismissive of Brando's speculation at that time. In his deep-rooted insights, the things in the east on the dark side were just those of the flycatchers. Madara's advantage in the Black Rose War was purely because the kingdom did not have Investing too much precaution in the Butch area.

For example, in Karasu, the Highland Knights did not allow Madara to take much advantage.

But at this moment, the count of Jacques began to shake a little. The Madara army in front of him was obviously different from the one he had seen in Viero last year. When he led the army to fight the undead army in Viero, although he was scared enough, remember that when the rickety ribs first attacked from the woods, the farmers and soldiers recruited by him from the countryside were almost the first. Time broke down completely. Fortunately, his knights and cronies held their ground, and after some rushing, they found that Madara's bones were just the same. The only thing that threatened them was those corpses, but the fighting power was not much. Just as much as the Knights of the Lord.

Of course, the Earl did not know that it was Frostclaw's army that invaded Viero. Frostclaw himself was a ghoul, but it was only the darkest nobleman of Madala. Probably now, his followers are almost like knights. It was originally Secretly approaching Viero is just to avoid the terrible highland knights to take advantage of it, with the same thoughts as our Master Pranget, but did not expect to hit Jacques's muzzle. The two played a face-to-face fight and Jacques lost almost all of his infantry infantry, while Frosttal Claw was even worse, and many dead witches were lost. Since then, they have been stunned, and soon they have been annexed by other lords.

He would not even know that it was Madara who was the elite of the Black Rose War that invaded Butch. Instaron and Targus were both close relatives of Madara, the one-eyed dragon Targus. From a famous family, the vampire family was the most trusted force of His Majesty the Emperor Madara until the Battle of the Oblique Forest. The current army of Blood Staff, although not as luxurious at the commander level as a combination like Instaron Gatagus, but its army joined the dark mercenaries from the Sea of ​​the Dead Moon, The overall strength is actually stronger than the army of Instaron in the Black Rose war.

This strong contrast is now clearly magnified ten million times in the count of Count Jacques, making his mood seem to fall from the cloud all the way to hell. Although he is still an experienced soldier, on the surface he calmly speaks freely about what ‘high-end creatures of the undead’, but in fact he himself knows clearly that he is just hearing these things.

Count Jacques's colleagues clearly knew that he was not comforted by this trick. After seeing the fearsome spirits that drove the knights, they flew out dozens of the same terrible creatures. They swept across the gentle hillsides, the woodlands on the hillsides, and several low hills, and went straight Coming in this direction, although still a considerable distance away, still panicked. The top of the mountain faces the Cherni Valley, on the other side of the valley opposite to the left. At this moment, there are still a few miles away from the fleeing salamanders from the knights, and in the dense coniferous woodland on the right, there is an ambush. The heavy infantry, protecting the central crossbowman position, was originally a very beautiful resistance position. Relying on the left-wing cavalry, it can effectively involve Madara's undead army in this wide valley of twenty miles. In the meantime, give the Tonigers and Lantonilan people time.

But the problem now is that they have lost the force involved. After the infantry and crossbowmen lost the cover of the cavalry, now it is man-made sword and me for fish, not to mention Madara and air power. At this time, a famous swordsman around the Archduke Viero had distinguished them. Those feared spirits had at least silver median strength, that is, at least four-level creatures. Now everyone has changed his face, more than a hundred heads and four Level creatures, these things alone can kill all their noble infantry with less than 4,000 people here.

Earl Zlin and Earl Bomos insisted immediately that they should retreat. Their reason is to save the strength of the coalition forces. If they are wiped out before the Lantonilanders, then the scene of the Silman Valley will repeat itself, but if they can at least evacuate these 4,000 people, or Withdraw at least six brigades from these twelve brigades, there is hope for future battles. The noble knights immediately agreed with this statement, but the Count Jacques himself was sneering. He was very clear about the thoughts of these people, and he said it was grand, but he was just greedy for fear of death. They originally thought that this was a sure-fire battle, so they scrambled to join the war, but once they were in danger, they immediately thought about staying out of the business.

Of course, Count Jacques himself knew that he was not a noble person, and his thoughts were understandable. "But the question is are these guys all idiots?" He couldn't help secretly anger. "Do you think we have the initiative now? Withdraw if you want to withdraw?"

Thinking of this, the Earl could not help but look down; at least compared with his colleagues, he was a noble lord who knew the soldiers. Count Jacques put his sword on the ground, and suddenly replied coldly: "The Lord duke has fully authorized me and I to command this coalition, and we must do our duty faithfully. You are the family members of the adults. Why not retreat without fighting? "

Count Zlin was Jacques's friend, but could not help but be taken aback by his attitude. I thought that my friend was scared? He had seen the madmen of the Wang Dang, but his friend was by no means such a person. He couldn't help but look at the other side strangely, thinking what medicine this guy was selling. Most other nobles have the same idea, but they have become more or less awkward when they look at Earl Jacques. It is like a hidden rule. In the current aristocratic circle, you can be right, but if you To obstruct the interests of others or even the safety of life, then you are destined to be tolerated by the rules.

Today, the Eruin nobles, as Brando said, no longer have the glory of the ancient times. The nobles of the predecessor Eke set an example and plowed a kingdom in this barren land with swords, but their descendants , Has long lost that courage, and has become the waste of conspiracy and power.

But at this moment Jacques more or less gave birth to such an idea, he simply did not understand how these guys who talked with themselves very much could be so stupid. He glanced at these guys coldly, and had to make his words clear: "What are you going to retreat? Do you run past the Skeleton Knights? Or the monsters flying in the sky? A bunch of stupid people, now we are the only ones The chance to survive is to stand here and wait until the Lantonilan people come to save us. Of course, you can try to escape and gamble on the chance of life that is less than one percent, but do you have the courage? "

After Earl Jacques said these words, he couldn't help but take a long breath and didn't know how. Although he felt that he was about to fall, he was inexplicably relieved in his heart. Suddenly he found that he was at least the better one than this group of idiots.

Everyone was stunned.

Although most of these noble lords bear the titles of Viero's family and knights, in fact, most of them are sheltered by their fathers. They all have heads and faces in the aristocratic circle, but unfortunately, war? That kind of thing is a little too far away for the province of Viero, which is in the country. In their eyes, the recent war is about the dispute between Archduke Viero and Jean-Denel, the kind that Brando sees. Even the border conflict is not a trivial matter, the scale is comparable to the villagers' brawl, and these nobles have made a few so-called 'stars'. When did Count Jacques himself be one of them, but now he only blushes.

After a few moments, most of these nobles confirmed the words of Earl Jacques from their friends or their subordinates, and they suddenly frowned like eggplants. There were still a few foolish people who asked if they could surrender to Madara. Of course, everyone knows that surrender is OK, as long as it becomes a dead person. But this result is obviously unacceptable to them. In fact, this is also a disadvantage of Madara when facing the human kingdom. Generally speaking, in the confrontation between the human kingdom and the human kingdom, or even any other civilized kingdom, surrender and redemption Aristocracy is a very common thing. Nobles are captured and treated decently, and then they wait for the family to make bids to redeem and return to the country decently. Instead, they can be treated like heroes. This is a comparison of the nobility. Common sense.

However, Madara does not accept the kingdom of living beings, and being defeated by Madara is basically equivalent to being killed. Therefore, even the most timid army will not choose to surrender in the battle with Madara, often fighting to dead. Now, too, the choice left to Earl Jacques. Without staying to fight, you can only be killed, there is no second way to go.

"What if those Lantonilan people don't come? They know that we have been defeated, and I think they are unlikely to come to death." Some of the nobles could not help asking.

"They dare not come!" Replied Earl Bomos angrily. But after saying this, he opened his mouth and suddenly disappeared. The people present seemed to suddenly remember that they had changed the battle plan without authorization, otherwise they would not have fallen into such a situation. Nowadays, not only are there any reasons why Lantonilan people can not come, they can even scold their stupidity behind their backs. Of course, in the eyes of these nobles, this is definitely not because they made a mistake, but because the Lantonilan people are so narrow-minded.

There was silence in the forest for a moment.

Count Jacques was worried about affecting morale, and he replied, "Relax, it's quite possible that Count Tonigel will not come. As far as I know, he is such a careful person. But Lanconilan's commander Aiko, I It ’s very clear that guy ’s last name is an idealistic knight. If he can come, he will definitely come back to save us. Of course, the premise is that you must be strong enough to persist until then, otherwise do n’t blame others for it You have collected the body. "

With the explanation of Earl Jacques, and the fact that Aiko became famous after the battle of Ampelsel, these Viero nobles were finally relieved. In fact, some people have praised Aiko's character in private, as if the knight could hear his praise from ten miles away and rush to rescue them.

With potential hope, Earl Jacques finally inspired the army's morale a little bit. At this moment, they are not fighting for victory, they are fighting for survival.

Viero's army began to redeploy defensive positions in the sedge forest, and their movements were quickly transmitted to the ears of the blood stick by the spirit of fear.

The dark lords of Madara were completely calm at this time, at least they thought they had figured out the details of the enemies of unknown origins before them-nothing more than the Lantonirans or Vieros. Anyway, it must not be the Highland Cavaliers, as for Earl Toniger? Sorry, what's that? These dark aristocrats from the Sea of ​​the Dead Moon have never heard of it. The obvious good news for them was that it seemed that Lantonilan's and Viero's troops knew nothing about Madara. They were completely different from the previous Golan-Elsen army, more similar to a year ago. The Eruin army, this army, both in the eyes of the Blood Staff, and in the eyes of these stubborn dark mercenaries.

That's a pile of rubbish, not even rubbish.

"It seems they still have a supporter." The dark-haired young man tapped on the map and replied to the blood stick: "This supporter should be around us, although I don't know how these Eruin people disconnect themselves. However, they are not a big threat to us. Even if this pocket is closed, their fighting power alone is not worthless. Besides, these idiots are messed up. Now we just need to eat these idiots safely. "

He grinned: "They're here to send us troops."

The blood stick was sneering, and the Eruin's stupidity might be a little surprised by these dark mercenaries, but it was already common to him. The combat effectiveness shown by the White Wing Cavalry of the Vatican Army had surprised him. It was a bit unusual, and now it is their normal level. Its eyes looked at the pale map made of unknown animal leather, as if it were really overlooking the land from mid-air. The undead army was marching forward several miles wide, unless these humans had been sealed off. This area, otherwise it would be impossible to surround them.

Of course, it might have been possible, but the other side was stupid.

"First try their combat effectiveness with skeletons." It replied coldly, setting the tone for the battle.
