Alien Knights

An eagle soaring in the clear sky folded its wings and landed in the military camp of the Ayub Empire.

Stretching out his arms to let the eagle rest on the horsehide armguard, the military commander untied a small copper pipe several centimeters long from the eagle's ankle, and hurried to Saladin's big tent.

Taking the brass pipe from the guard, Saladin opened the seal, took the note inside and read it carefully, his brows that were originally tightly locked relaxed.

"It's finally here."

Yi Liam, who was standing under him, asked puzzledly, "What's coming?"

"According to the report from the northern spies, Muxi Kingdom sent a cavalry regiment of 300 people, which has crossed the border and is rushing towards Guyan City."

Yilam curled his lips: "A cavalry regiment of 300 people? Wouldn't it be impossible for such a small number of people to attack Latib's army?"

Saladin looked at him with a smile: "What if the three hundred cavalry are all the black armored knights you have seen before?"

Elim's expression froze.

Saladin looked at his general, and said earnestly: "Now you should understand why I insist on not letting you capture Lone Rock City, right?"

Yilam suddenly realized: "You want to borrow the hands of the Muxi Kingdom to get rid of..."

"If you know it, don't talk nonsense!" Saladin slapped the table and said loudly: "Notify all troops, prepare to launch a general attack!"

Yilam stood up excitedly, and responded loudly: "I will follow your will!"

The long sound of the horn sounded from the army of the Ayyubid Empire, and spread throughout the entire battlefield in an instant.

At this time, on the wall of the inner city of Lonely Rock, Regent Jennings was discussing the next battle with Randall. The sudden sound of the horn forced them to stop talking and turn their eyes to the imperial army at the foot of the mountain.

"I see flags waving there. Could it be that the southerners are gathering troops?"

Hearing Randall's words, Jennings shook his head rather puzzled: "The guys down the mountain have been quiet for a while, it doesn't make sense to suddenly..."

Before the words were finished, the sound of gunfire came from the bottom of the mountain, and a few seconds later, dense black spots flew in the sky.

"It's shelling!" Randall grabbed Jennings by the skirt and pulled him behind the city wall.

Before everyone could react, a bowl-sized iron ball fell from the sky, causing a "shell rain" in the inner city.

The dozen or so defenders who couldn't escape were smashed to pieces on the spot, with their blood spattered.

Jennings sat behind the city wall, avoiding the splashing debris, and shouted: "Look for cover! Archers, go up to the tower!"

After a round of shelling, the sound of dull war drums and orderly footsteps came from the foot of the mountain. Randall looked through the lookout hole, and was shocked by the scene in front of him like falling into an ice cellar.

Hundreds of two-meter-tall giants, wearing masks that looked like ghosts, and holding huge iron shields weighing a thousand catties, walked up the winding steps towards the gate of the inner city step by step.

"Are these soldiers really human?" Jennings stared at these giants dumbfounded, approached the city gate step by step, and hurriedly ordered to his troops: "Bows and arrows! Throw stones! Attack those soldiers with shields!"

A dense rain of arrows shot from the city wall, pouring towards the dense formation of giant soldiers on the mountain road. Most of the arrows were blocked by the iron shield, and occasionally one or two passed through the gap in the shield and inserted into the giant's body, but they couldn't cause any substantial damage, and even stopped the attacker's pace slightly, such a thing Can't do it.

As for the stones that fell on the giants, they were like acorns dropped on the elephants. At best, they could only make these soldiers shake a few times, and they couldn't hurt them at all.

The group of shield-bearing giants walked slowly under the city wall amidst the rain of arrows and stone bullets. They stood the huge shield on the ground to resist the attack, then untied the spherical thing from their waists, ignited it, and threw it on the city wall.

Seeing a round iron ball with white smoke and sparks rolling to his feet, Randall opened his eyes wide and shouted, "Bomb!"

After a while, dense and violent explosions sounded on the city wall.

The defenders who were caught off guard by the flames and the impact immediately lost more than half of their lives, and human flesh and stumps immediately covered the entire city wall.

Randall, who had the keel parasite, protected Jennings and rolled onto the haystack below the city wall at the moment of the explosion, avoiding a catastrophe.

Soon, the second wave of throwing explosives was thrown on the city wall, and the successive explosions completely disintegrated the will of the defenders.

Seeing this scene, Jennings stood up from the ground, looked at the tower on the top of the city wall, and shouted to Randall: "Take the remaining soldiers and people and retreat into the royal city, where is the last hope !"

Randall watched Jennings rush up the steps and run quickly towards the tower, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord, where are you going?!"

Jennings' voice was getting farther and farther away: "Go and buy time for you!"

Randall got up from the ground and saw two unexploded bombs not far away, picked them up and put them in his arms. Immediately afterwards, he found the remaining soldiers and told them to immediately inform all the people, and everyone retreated to the King City of Guyan City at the top of the mountain, which was the last shelter of the city.

Fifteen minutes later, Randall, who was standing at the gate of the royal city, watched the inner city gate being engulfed by the fire, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

"Master Jennings once ordered us to bury a large amount of fire oil under the gate of the inner city. This was originally used as the last resort to die with the enemy..." A soldier with his head covered in bandages looked at the fire. Said sadly.

Barbara, with a dusty face, walked behind Randall and asked softly, "Master Jennings, is it...?"

Randall nodded heavily.

Barbara glanced behind her and said sadly, "What should we do next?"

Randall turned around and looked at the thousands of soldiers and people gathered in the hall of the royal city. Among them were wounded soldiers, gray-haired old people, and innocent children, and these people were also looking at him. .

Looking at the umbrella badge on his chest, Randall recalled the scene when he became a knight, and recalled what he once said when the Holy King Todd walked in front of him and put the long sword on his shoulder. oath.

"I swear to the sky to clarify my will; I will not bully the weak and live my days with humility; I will not be afraid of strong enemies in the battles I have fought; I will cut down all the evil and false flags!"

He drew out the long sword at his waist, raised it above his head, and said loudly: "I swear in the name of the Holy King! Fight! I will fight to the last moment!"

The fire at the gate of the inner city burned for thirteen hours. The fire was so powerful that in the dark night, people who were tens of kilometers away could clearly see the fire here.

However, there is a moment when the flame is extinguished.

In the early morning, the fire gradually subsided, and Saladin led the army and finally entered the inner city of Lonely Rock City.

"Language, you lead the Immortal Legion to occupy the North Gate! Take control of the mountain road in the back mountain as soon as possible!" Saladin rode on the horse and pointed to the distance and ordered: "Whether it is Latib or Muxi's army, no matter who they finally win To win, they must not be allowed to step into the city!"

The throat bone in the black robe said nothing, but saluted Saladin respectfully, and then led hundreds of shield-bearing giants to the north gate.

Saladin looked at the charred and smoky city in front of him, and said to Elim beside him: "My order to you is to clear all the enemy troops in the city!"

Seeing that the latter was about to leave after taking the order, Saladin suddenly stopped him again: "The black armored knights have not found their bodies so far, which means that these people are still hiding somewhere in the city. Corner... Next, you should know how to do it."

Yilam nodded heavily, and led the army under him, walking quickly towards the city.
