total conquest

Chapter 25
"Everyone must not retreat. If the rebels capture this place, they will massacre the city for five days. No matter why you are soldiers, but now there is a reason why you have to fight. To protect your family, protect your friends, and protect your property! Get the bandits out!!" The recruits were afraid, because they didn't know who to fight for, and the empire hadn't had a war in its territory for a hundred years, so they didn't understand the value of peace, but the only thing that could arouse their fighting spirit It is the instinct of human beings, self-sacrifice is an acquired feeling, and self-interest is the natural instinct of human beings.

Old John is getting old, and his physical strength can't keep up. It is impossible to take the lead in everything, and he can only hope that words can inspire everyone's morale again.

The rebels lost more than a thousand people on the first day of the trial, but on the second day, they sent 4000 people in one go, and the attack on three sides really put a lot of pressure on Altdorf.

The defenders of the gap in the city wall were retreating steadily, and the ordinary sword and shield warriors were no match for these well-trained and well-armed giant swordsmen. Broken arms and limbs, the disparity in strength and the mental impact put the morale of the army at the gap on the verge of collapse.On the other hand, the rebels on the city walls outnumbered the defenders five to one at one time. When the long-range troops wanted to withdraw, they found that they were already entangled, so they had to bite the bullet. Fortunately, they were all ordinary troops. , but it can’t handle the large number of people, and casualties continue to rise.The heavy city gate of Altdorf also broke a huge hole under the unremitting impact of the battering ram, and as the battering ram slowly retreated, enemies rushed in from the main gate like a tide, and the damaged city gate was completely destroyed. Open.

"When are we going to leave? Marshal?" Although Tok who came to report the letter was very anxious, but in front of such a big official as the Marshal, Tok didn't dare to be presumptuous, not to mention the young emperor of the empire, Karl Roald, standing beside him. His Majesty.

Robert ignored Tok at all, and kept observing the tragic battle at the city wall with eagle glasses, calmly.When the city gate was broken open, Robert sighed vaguely, turned to Karl and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy has already broken through the city gate and removed the battering ram, and it can be carried out according to the original plan."

Karl was very helpless, but he had no choice. He had no hope of winning if he fought hard, so he could only pin his hopes on this plan, "Go, Marshal Robert, I will stand on the wall of the palace and watch you, and I will not go anywhere .”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Robert solemnly performed a knightly etiquette to Karl, glanced at his friends who were silent at the side, smiled and walked on without looking back. This farewell may never be seen again. .

Toke looked dazed, and Old John asked him to come to the Marshal, so naturally he had to follow, he quickly gave a courtesy to His Majesty the Emperor, and then retreated with the Marshal.

As soon as Toke walked out of the building, he was really taken aback!Gryphon!cavalry! "Can you ride a horse?" Robert didn't know when he led a horse to Toke's side, interrupting Toke who was stunned.

"Yes, yes, so I'm in the countryside..."

"Now, you're a Rick Knight." Robert obviously didn't have the patience to continue listening to him.

"Give him the armor and the military flag, and follow me. If you leave the order, you will die." After finishing speaking, Robert put on his helmet, took the knight's spear, turned his horse's head, and faced the cavalry standing in the palace square. Guards, also has the strongest Griffin cavalry in the legendary empire.

"Come on, everyone! Todbringer seems to have sent his Midden wolves to Rick Province to try our skills. He seems to have mistakenly thought that the death of the former emperor will make us weak and incompetent. He Do you think we would curl up under the bed and pray to the Midden White Wolf flag to save our lives?" Robert rode his horse and walked slowly in front of all the knights, looking at these young faces.

"Let me tell you, we people in Rick Province can't just defend! You are the most powerful knights in this majestic empire, and the most loyal guards of the emperor, and now the rebels are about to capture the imperial city. We want to make your reputation Sweep the floor, let your glory be turned into dung! Don't you feel angry!!"

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

"Very good! Let these Todbringer bastards see the majesty of the emperor! The anger of the empire! And the loyal servants of the knights!! His Majesty the emperor is watching us from the city, for the dignity of the empire!! For the sake of the knights Glory!!! Charge with me!!" Robert rushed out of the main gate of the palace, and Tok carried the battle flag and led six teams of Rick Guards, followed by two teams of Griffin Cavalry. They were Karl's last cards.

The Altdorf City Gate and the main gate of the Royal Palace are not very straight avenues. Although it is not straight, it is wide enough for two teams of cavalry to charge side by side. The first two rows are Griffin Riders. It is the best weapon for breaking formations.

"Blow the attack horn!!!"

"Woo! Woo! Woo!" The sound of the horn echoed throughout the city in a short while.

Old John, who led the army to resist hard, heard the sound of the horn, and immediately understood that Marshal Rick had dispatched "Everyone's defensive formation, shrink and shrink! Rick's guards are charging!" The wall, with the sword and spear facing outward.The imperial guards on the city wall were highly motivated when they heard the familiar sound of horns, and the huge swords and long halberds in their hands were also playing vigorously, but most of them retreated while fighting. The long-range troops also ignored it and began to think of ways to retreat.

When Marshal Robert led the cavalry to the city gate, the mages who had been hiding in the dark finally appeared, and all kinds of buff magic were released on the cavalry.If the mages were released early, the magic on the cavalry would disappear quickly, and if they appeared on the battlefield early, they would definitely be the targets to be killed first. The crossbowmen of the rebel army would be overshadowed by the defenders, but they would never be seen again. Appear, just wait for the mage to show up, fortunately, there are these veterans around Karl to help, otherwise, Karl really can't hold Altdorf in the face of more than ten years of carefully arranged games.

The blessed cavalry, under the leadership of Robert, crashed directly into the rebel army pouring in from the city gate. The huge and strong body of the griffin directly led the knights out of the city like a tank.

Hans looked at the griffin that crashed out of the city gate, and his mouth was about to drop in shock. He sent Helmut to look for it for a long time, but he didn't even see a griffin scale.Fortunately, there are only two teams of Griffins, and the city gate is only four teams, 4000 siege troops, and more than 3000 people are fighting on the city wall. Watching the magic fluctuations flashing on the knights, Hans couldn't help but said from the corner of his mouth, "Huh, it seems that this is their last hole card, and the mage has also come out." Hans sent out all the remaining spearmen and crossbowmen. This is another team of nearly 1000 people. Rushing towards Altdorf, Hans is bound to capture Altdorf in one fell swoop today!
After Robert rushed out of the city gate, he turned a corner and rushed into the gap in the city wall, crushing the invincible giant swordsman just now. Although the giant swordsman made enemies behind his back, the giant sword in his hand was not a plaything. Although he couldn't resist the cavalry's charge, effective killing was still possible. When Old John saw the cavalry rushing in from behind the giant swordsman, he also shouted and led the remaining soldiers to fight with the giant swordsman.
