Chapter 1116
The second day, highland battlefield, noon, sunny.
The imperial army camp.
Although in accordance with the requirements of Brandon Desalion and the Imperial Council of the Sky Dome, the troops from all over the world are stationed separately in East and West Sackland on both sides of the Gem River to reduce logistical pressure. The princes and Legion The commander was only allowed to command a smaller Legion; but the current strength of the highland battlefield blockade still reached the terrifying 150,000.
What is the concept of a 150,000 Legion barracks? If it is spread out, it is almost the area of two or three Scarlet Blood Forts!
To describe it more accurately, it is a city that can move. The 150,000 residents in the city are all fully armed, armed with weapons, and they are full of murderers and slain men.
On the several li plains of West Sacrament, a small highland surrounding a bank of the Gem River is covered with densely packed, like a large army camp with stars in the sky; Alemans, Arles, Boye... Except Lotaire, you can even see the nine-pointed star of Eboden in the banner of vast as the open sea.
Byrne Knight waving the swallowtail flag, sorcerer and alchemist from the wizard tower of the nine-pointed star wearing a long robe, Boe Hussar from show off one's military strength, Legion with awe-inspiring military looks, Aleman’s swordsman with both hands in the murderous aura, the monster hunter of Arles… This huge military camp mobilized from Imperial Capital, nearly twice as much as the logistics team... everything is for one purpose.
"Scare these rabbit masters to death!"-These are the original words of Brandon Desalion.
In the middle of the army camp and the highland battlefield, a black-bottomed Golden Lion battle flag was hunting and hunting in the middle of the ruined battlefield.
"It seems that the Azores really decided to accept our suggestion."
Outside the barracks, looking at the Azores warriors assembled on the high ground in the distance , Grand Duke Elman gently relaxed.
"Although it is different from at first's plan, it would be a good thing if the battle can be ended as soon as possible in this way."
"Our decision? "
Almost as soon as Yuli Wirtz's words fell, a slightly provocative voice sounded.
Grand Duke Elman frowned slightly, turned his head and looked towards the source of the sound-Nolan Erd, who raised his mouth and had a sullen smile, was also staring at him.
"Your Excellency, Archduke Arles, what are you suggesting?"
"Hinting? no no no …Grand Duke Elman, you are so kind." Nolan Erde Shaking his head, with a disgusting smile: "My words are what I mean, nothing else."
"It was the decision of the Duke of Bayne to fight the Azorean elves in the highlands. The messenger sent It’s the escort of the Duke of Byrne. It is the army of Byrne and the Duke of Byrne himself... So how can this be called the decision of all of us?"
"Isn’t it because the Duke of Byrne is around After our group of princes and His Royal Highness, who are on the same level as him, have made a decision on their own terms?"
"Oh...or, we should now call him the'Golovan Guardian' "My lord?" Grand Duke Arles snorted.
Listening to the unabashed frigid irony and scorching satire of the other party, Yuli Wiertz's expression was solemn to the extreme without saying a word.
"Your Excellency Elman, I know that you and the Duke of Byrne are comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side on this battlefield. I also believe that you are loyal to your friends and the empire, but..." Nolan ·Ed licked his chapped lips, as if recollecting something:
"Before I came to Imperial Capital, I just killed my Uncle by myself."
" I love him. He is a very important family member of me. He raised me and helped me to get to the position of Duke personally. He helped me kill many traitors, but... he had ambitions that he shouldn't have."
"No, it should be said that he had already had this idea in the years he raised me—supporting me, and then taking my title and inheritance after my accident. It was all planned...After waiting for so many years, Just for in this brief moment to bloom and bear fruit."
"So I killed him, and killed his family according to the ancient tradition of Arles;"
"I... personally peeled it off His skin.
Staring at Yuli Wiertz’s ugly expression, Nolan Erde smiled happily: “But in Arles...have thoughts that shouldn’t have The ambitious of the status, prestige, and power that deserves to be obtained is just like this; I don’t know how to deal with it in other parts of the empire..."
"Beheaded! "
A cheerful voice came from behind the two of them.
"If you remember correctly, the Bayern people like to beheaded; the Boyans like sky burials, and the Alemans are the most sinister bastards. Throwing into the deep mountains and old forest, Lotaire is Myriad Arrows Piercing Heart, and the Sacklanders love torture stakes...Oh, although I don’t know what the hobby of the Eboden is, it is rumored to be dismembered by a living person. "
With a gleeful tone, Brandon walked to the center with a smile, tilted his head and looked at Nolan Erd: "In other parts of the empire, this is how you deal with traitors. "
"Especially those traitors who don't follow the orders, outward devotion but inner opposition, and abandon their oath! "
The two grand princes with different faces, bowed and saluted to His Royal Highness "Shameful Prince".
"Oh, by the way, what are you talking about just now? They look so happy ? "Brandon, with a rare treasure face, asked, as if he hadn't heard a word of the content just now.
The twitched Yuli Wirtz was stern and refused to accept a word. Say more.
For this "playful" royal prince and the 14th generation emperor who is about to succeed to the throne, he really can't accept it.
It's Nolan. Erd was cold, as if it was not him who had just slandered behind his back: "It's nothing, we are just discussing how the agreed duel today will end. "
"As everyone knows, Byrne is the hometown of Knight, and the Azorean elves’ army is centered on the'warrior', which is dressed in light armor, wields long knives, and is flexible and cooperating with tacit understanding— —The duel between Knight wielding a long spear sword and warrior stepping on the ground is really exciting. "
Before Nolan Erde spoke with a hint of emotion, he discovered that Brandon, who was still "curious", suddenly turned a little strange: "What's wrong, Your Highness?" Could it be..."
"No, you misunderstood. Brandon waved his hand with a strange expression: "I mean if what you want to see in today's battle is a duel between Knight and warrior, you...may be disappointed. "
"en?"
Nolan Erd instinctively turned his gaze to the far away Byrne Knight, who was still hunting in the middle of the battlefield, with a little more in his eyes. I was shocked.
At this moment, he was not the only one who was shocked.
"This is...what? "
Looking at the weapon that resembles lance in his hand, Karl Colin’s expression of unfathomable mystery is at its extreme.
The main body of the entire "lance" consists of a yellow piece of nearly two meters long. It is composed of copper metal tube, and the frosted surface is also engraved with simple ancient rune; the tail and the bottom are simple wooden supports and card slots; and inside the metal tube, you can see three round fluorites. The stone pieces are stuck in series and staggered.
As for the peripherals...In addition to the "lance" in his hand, the attendant standing on the side also holds a koto-shaped card with a card slot in his hand. The shield, at first glance, is used as a stand for the "lance" in my hand.
In other words, this "lance" does not have to be used by two people?
"Hmm …This is a projectile weapon, its name… tentatively it is called "Jiaoguang Spear No. 1", you can regard it as a heavy crossbow powered by Void Power. "Under the Golden Lion on the black background, Loren, who is holding back his laughter, explained to Fiend Hunter in front of him.
Because he also didn't expect, the little wizard and Isaac are two people. , I finished it so quickly!
"Oh, powered by Void Power? "Karl Colin's eyes lit up: "So, the formidable power of this weapon is very strong?" ! "
"Uh, it's not very strong, it's about the same as a crossbow with a larger formidable power... There is no problem shooting through the chain armor, but the plate armor is more difficult. "
"Now... its range is very long? "
"The test's limit range is 150 meters, but the actual effective formidable power is only within 50 to 100 meters, and if it is 50 meters away... it's difficult to hit accurately. "
"Oh, is the rate of fire fast? "
"It's faster than ordinary heavy crossbows, but not much faster... it's better than nothing. "
"..."
At the end of the three interrogations, Karl Colin’s expression seemed to have been splashed with cold water.
"That What's the reason why you made it with great pains, and called me here? Hunter Fiend has an unfathomable mystery expression: "You spend money to get this weapon, why don't you just equip more heavy crossbowmen?" "
What is the difference between the two, and the heavy bow and crossbow are enough for one person. This broken "lance" requires two people to use it.
" There are many reasons. For example, the cost of this weapon is cheaper than that of a heavy crossbow. For example, the use of a heavy crossbow requires a lot of physical strength, and it only needs to depress the switch to launch. For example, it does not need to consider the weather...etc. "
Speaking of these, Loren Torino, involuntarily remembered what Haringvan Ashamai said to himself during the defense of Thousand Tends City many years ago.
"One day, we can let these weapons be held by the soldiers, and stand three hundred steps away and shoot dozens or hundreds of crossbow arrows that can pierce armor;"
"This kind of weapon will eventually turn the sword into a dispensable thing, and turn the exquisite armor into an ornament. It will turn all wars into three hundred steps away. Compare each other to see who kills each other faster. Cruel competition;"
"Knead the glory into waste paper, make the war rigid and rigid, and turn the courage of all warriors into jokes three hundred steps away; calm killing will replace bloody melee; "
"Finally destroy all beautiful illusions and decorations, and let the war expose its truest and cruel appearance. "
Looking at Karl Colin with a look of suspicion, the black hair wizard laughed: "Of course these are not the most important. The most important thing is...I promised you. "
"Have you promised? "
"Yes, you once said that if I think you should continue to fight and continue to fight, you will not stop performing every task I give you. "
Looking at the metal prosthesis on the other person, the black hair wizard indifferently said: "This...is the task I entrusted to you." "
"Fiend Carl Colin, I now officially authorize you to command my new guard. "
"You, will become the first army in the history of the empire, all armed with void weapons. "
"As for your names..." Thinking of what the little wizard looked like when he told him, the black hair wizard couldn't help but want to laugh:
"Tentatively, it is 'Shooting Army' too. "
"Shooting Army..."
At the moment when he heard the name, Karl Colin couldn't help holding the "light spear" in his hand tightly and whispering.
"You tell me that you want me to give you a reason to die. Loren stared at him seriously: "This is the reason I gave you to die." "
"Carl Colin, under my command, more than half are knights who adhere to dogma and tradition, and half are ordinary persons who don’t know anything about military affairs. I want to make a change. You need someone who is not afraid of death and does not care about tradition. "
"So I leave this task to you, just like I gave the wings of the sky to Lucien. "
Karl Colin didn't speak, but the silence remained.
Holding the "light spear" in his hand, he lifts the head, looking towards Loren · Torino with a solemn expression.
"I understand...If this is your order, then I will accept it-become the commander of the shooting army, so that you can make them truly shine in this battle. "
When the voice fell, Carl Colin raised the "Light Spear" and one-knee kneels down.
From the day he stepped into Rutt Infinite’s room In the beginning, what was it that I was tirelessly pursuing?
Vengeance? Status? Fame? Power?
Neither... I am an ordinary mortal, of course I care about it. But this is not what I am after.
What I am after is a meaningful reason, knowing the cause and reason, the reason to die.
If so, why Want to refuse?
"Woo————————————————! ! ! ! "
The sound of an eagle-like horn sounded from a high ground in the distance, echoing over the entire battlefield, making Fiend Hunter and the black hair wizard unable to help looking back at the same time, looking in the direction of the sound source.
"It's time. "
Desperately suppressing the heartbeat that was about to rush out of his chest, Anson Zade, who was forced to calm down, held the Azores Elf battle flag tightly, and stared at the battle of Byrne on the distant battlefield. The flag, and...
And the...Golden Lion standing under the flag.
"Master elder sister. "
"As you bid.
The blindfolded elf girl, who was as calm as water, slowly raised the ancient blade in her hand, and the right hand gripped the handle of the knife; "Hah! "With a sound, a trace of light was raised above her head.
The response to her was the sound of a blade unsheathed resounding through the heights; it was shining tens of thousands, shining like fish scales under the sun.
p>
"Today--"
With a nearly hoarse voice, the elf boy angrily roared:
"Our Azores warrior--"
p>"Fulfill the agreement--"
"With the Duke of Byrne--"
"Death! war! arrive! end--! "
