Chapter 145 Fighting for Glory
At this moment, Paladin came to the church with a dark face. After fusing the light elements, only a mere fifty light elements were added. Compared to the thousands he has now, it is simply a handful! It was only now that Paladin accepted the reality. The energy that an ordinary human being could provide was actually insignificant to him. At this time, outside the city wall, the clone who no longer served as the commander because of Olina's distress was replaced and replaced by Bob.
No doubts. Now Bob is so regretful that his intestines are turning blue! It was all that hateful jealousy that made him do such idiotic and stupid things! Although Bob didn't know the relationship between Alfred and Count Olina, but judging from the very close relationship between the two, it's hard to say that the bastard had abandoned the honor of a noble knight and slept with this ugly and famous count. Got it!
As long as he thinks about Bob with his toes, he will know that it must be Alfred's suggestion that the death spot falls on him. What he can do now, apart from trying to avoid being shot by arrows from unknown directions in the war and die on the spot, is to get lucky and win some military exploits, so that Olina can look at him with admiration and regain her recognition and status. Naturally, there is no other word to describe this except impractical.
Standing on the north gate, the Grand Duke, dressed in exquisite armor and holding a long sword, watched the enemy troops arrayed in formation on the opposite side with the support of everyone. His fingers tapped lightly on the wall in front of him. The Grand Duke didn't know how many times he tried to wave away the smell of blood lingering on the tip of his nose. He frowned his thick eyebrows, squinted his small eyes and waved behind him: "Dear Marquis, my lord. Come and see, the layout of Philip and Lex today is a little different from the past?"
When the Marquis of Camon heard the Grand Duke's call, the guards surrounding the Grand Duke immediately dispersed. The Marquis came in from the outside and casually took the single-hanging lens from the Grand Duke's hand. The Marquis of Camon picked up the lens and put it on his left eye, squinted slightly, and examined the layout of the place. Grand Duke Victoria turned to look at the Marquis of Carmont, his most trusted subordinate and friend. He sighed and sat on the gorgeous and comfortable table and chair behind him. He leaned against the backrest and picked up the wine and took a sip. But the next moment, Marquis Camon's eyes suddenly widened!
The lens in his hand immediately fell to the ground with trembling hands and broke into pieces! The Marquis of Camon turned his head sharply, his face solemn and nervous, but he lowered his voice and said hurriedly to the Grand Duke: "Grand Duke! Extend your wings and center your spear! There are no heavy cavalry on the line at all!" "What do you mean?" The Grand Duke looked at the Marquis of Camon in confusion. The Grand Duke did not understand what he meant at all. When the Marquis of Camon saw the Grand Duke still drinking wine calmly, he glanced left and right at the guarding guards. The latter immediately understood and protected the Grand Duke and the Marquis of Camon so tightly that even the conversation could hardly be heard outside!
Just when the Grand Duke was still wondering what Camon was doing, the Marquis of Camon knelt down on one knee, held the Grand Duke's knee with both hands and said nervously: "There are no cavalry! There are twenty phalanxes of spearmen! Grand Duke, Do you know what this means? It means that Philip finally can’t wait any longer and will launch a general attack soon!”
puff! As soon as he heard the news, the Grand Duke sprayed the wine on the ground with a puff. Like a frightened swan, the Grand Duke swooped up and rushed to the wall. He stared at the mighty people on the opposite side with his eyes wide open. army! It doesn't matter if you don't see it, the Grand Duke almost collapsed to the ground at the sight of it! I saw that the army in the distance was getting bigger and bigger, far exceeding the scale of these days. The black mass covered the horizon, and the flags seemed to have grown out of a forest! Twenty more towers like peaks in the woods were slowly pushed down in front of the array, and hundreds of catapults followed closely behind! As for the number of ladders, it was impossible to see clearly. The Grand Duke could only vaguely see the cloud ladder team that had sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain and came to the forefront!
"It's too fast, more than ten days faster than I expected... It must be that the empire's reinforcements leaked, which made Philip nervous..." The Grand Duke muttered to himself with a dull expression. But the alarm bell that suddenly sounded at this moment brought him back to reality from his daze. "Dong dong dong dong!" Looking back, perhaps the sentries in the bunkers also noticed the size of the attacking team, and noisy alarm bells sounded in one bunker after another. Inside the fortress, it’s as spectacular as a symphony playing from all directions. And the warning sounds interspersed with shouts: "The enemy is coming!" made this joy dyed with a sad and beautiful color.
"Where are the archers? Spearmen and sword and shield men, hurry up and protect them! Where is the catapult? Get the catapult in place quickly!" The archduke, who immediately came to his senses, immediately pulled out his sword and gave an order with a hoarse roar. The Grand Duke's roar was like a calming potion, and the originally panicked soldiers immediately calmed down. The commanders of the various fortresses and walls immediately shouted: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Didn't you hear the Grand Duke's order? Hurry up and get in position! The war is about to begin!"
The Grand Duke breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the soldiers preparing for defense in an orderly manner. He lowered his head and whispered to the Marquis of Camon, who was sweating on his forehead next to him: "Move all the idle troops in the castle to defend. These people There was no way it could withstand Philip’s onslaught of tens of thousands of people.”
Seeing the Marquis of Camon nod, the Grand Duke hesitated slightly, then opened his mouth and said: "All your knights and Olina's Aries are here... I know that it is absolutely necessary not to let the noble knights come up to defend, but now it is a last resort. Once a section of the city wall was taken down by Philip's fierce attack, our outermost defense failed. Although we can conduct an offensive and defensive battle again based on the three inner city walls, the height and solidity of the short city wall here cannot be compared with that of the short city wall. The effect is really minimal. This outermost defense is the front that we must hold on to. Dear Marquis de Camon, do you understand?"
The Marquis of Camon was at a loss for words. He knew very well that now was the time when the life and death of the principality was at stake. If he refused to go to the battlefield because he felt sorry for the Knights, he would definitely be hostile to the Grand Duke and even be executed. So Marquis Carmon just nodded and said softly: "I will dispatch my knights right away, and I will also send Olina's Aries Knights together." After that, he stood up and walked down the city wall, walking through the turmoil. The crowd mounted their horses and headed towards the castle in the center of the fortress.
Seeing the figure of Marquis Camon disappearing quickly on the street, the Grand Duke turned to face the enemy and patted the armor that wrapped his bloated body. At this moment, his fat face showed a strange brilliance: " This is my principality, and no one can trample my home before my eyes... Come on, Philip, Lex. Let me see how your proud army of 50,000 people is doing in the name of my Green Screaming and kneeling under the city wall!"
In front of the Grand Duke's eyes, there were enemy troops approaching slowly like dark clouds. Vaguely, one can even hear loud horn sounds echoing on the opposite side. The Grand Duke stood at the top of the city, feeling the killing atmosphere emanating from the countless enemies, but he did not waver in the slightest. Because no matter what the outcome is, the results of this battle will definitely be recorded in the parchment history books and be admired by subsequent scholars and knights! This is the moment of glory for his Grand Duke Victoria and the Principality of Qasmi!
