Alien Knights

The army of Froststone City set off.

There were 13,000 soldiers, and if slaves were counted, the army of nearly 30,000 people was divided into three groups, and embarked on a mighty journey to the north.

Before parting, in the sky above Froststone City, Evie, who was riding on a griffin, looked at Todd who had turned into a dragon, hesitant to speak.

"If this war is won, everything in the north will be settled." Todd waved his dragon wings, looked at Evie and said, "By that time, there will be only one Froststone City on this land."

Evie grabbed the griffin's rein and bit her lips tightly: "Even if the war here is over, Muxi City still needs you, right?"

Todd was a little surprised by Evie's question, and after thinking about it, he said: "The Southern Empire has captured the Holy City, and the Orthodox Church exists in name only; Pope Alexander of the Church of the Heavenly Father has been dead for a long time, and the position of the head priest has been in place for a long time. There is no conclusion in the quarrel. All the pressure against the empire falls on the Protestants in Muxi City..."

Evie shook her head slightly: "Todd, have you thought about settling down?"

"Stability?" Todd held his dragon head up, and asked with some surprise: "This sentence doesn't seem to come from the mouth of a Valkyrie."

"In the past, I shouldered the expectations of my people, and I always thought about following the footsteps of the gods."

Evie's expression looked a little confused: "But when I learned that the age of the gods has long passed, my faith collapsed, and the name Brunhilde has no meaning for me anymore. Facing this world full of fighting World, I began to wonder, wondering what the war after war is for?"

Todd was a little moved: "Evie..."

The Valkyrie raised her right hand and touched the crown of feathers at her temples. Her long silver hair fluttered in the wind, and she said softly: "So, in this torment like a long night, I found a reason for myself to continue, that is you……"

"I?"

Evie closed her eyes and nodded: "Whether you want to end all wars, or want to become the emperor of the whole world, or just for the ultimate power, I am willing to accompany you until my body into mustard, until my soul is nothing."

Todd's dragon eyes slowly enlarged, and he forgot his words for a moment.

Evie continued: "There is no reason, no righteousness, just...just because of you..."

Finally, taking a deep look at the black dragon in front of her, as if she wanted to engrave this figure into her soul, Evie turned her head, tugged at the reins, and flew to the far north on the griffin.

Looking at the smaller and smaller figure in the sky, Todd stayed in the sky above Froststone City for a long time.

A week later, the first battle reports came from the front.

The vanguard of the Northwest Route Army, a light cavalry force of about 400 men, had arrived at the foot of the ancient city before the main force.

According to the report of the frontline battle group leader, the Ulster people in the city have basically lost the will to resist. On the first day of the battle, some people in the city wanted to surrender to Froststone City.

If it weren't for the defenders being afraid of Cu Chulainn's tyranny, the 400-man light cavalry could even take down Gugu City without bloodshed.

The Northern Route Army attacking the capital of Ulster had some troubles on the way.

Facing the Froststones, the Ulsters chose to resist desperately. They have already seen the power of the deadly gun, and when facing the Froststone warriors, they would rather be hacked to death with a knife and axe than be killed by a magic gun that can destroy souls.

As for the Eastern Route Army heading to the Connaught border, their marching route passed through a number of villages and towns in the "Six Circles Massacre".

In the words of the Chapter Commander.

『Before my eyes, a living hell was unfolding. 』

"Thick black smoke floated over the ruins of the village. Collapsed and charred houses were everywhere. Dead bodies could be seen everywhere like stones. Beside the open-air stove, a large number of gnawed human bones could be seen. 』

In the last paragraph of the report, the Chapter Master said this to Todd.

"We found a mentally disturbed survivor. He said he escaped from Cu Chulainn's army. He also said that he saw mobs eat his wife and children... We confirmed from him that, Cu Chulainn is just to the northeast of the Connaught Kingdom, and is slaughtering the remaining small countries. 』

After reading these reports, Todd knew it was time to act.

Todd first held a meeting with the shaman assembly and asked them to maintain order in Froststone City. At the meeting, he especially emphasized that if the shamans have any urgent matters, they can directly enter the pilgrimage hall, so that they can contact him immediately.

Then, he came to the small building to say goodbye to Deirdre and the child in her belly.

After finishing these things, Todd waved his dragon wings on the temple square and flew towards the Kingdom of Connaught in the north.

Along the way, Todd, who was flying in the air, looked at the earth with eagle eyes and perspective abilities.

The slaughter of the cities on the way made Todd truly understand what the "hell" mentioned in the report was.

Mass graves were buried around the city one after another. A large number of unarmed civilians were driven into the pits, then burned alive with wood fuel, and finally buried in soil.

Among the tens of thousands of buildings, there are victims of different genders and ages in each place. Judging from the wounds on their bodies and the expressions on their deathbeds, it is not difficult to imagine how much these people suffered before they died. and torture.

On the towering trees in the forest outside the city, the leaves and twigs were cut off artificially, and densely packed corpses were hung on the trunks and swayed in the wind. Crows and wild wolves surrounded the forest to enjoy the feast to their heart's content.

Todd, who was flying in the air, looked at the tragic situation on the ground, and his pupils turned red with anger: "Cú Chulainn... this is what you call a hero?! This is the path of tyrant you chose?! "

Todd turned the dragon's head to the north, where the sky was overcast with dark clouds, and the sound of thunder could be faintly heard.

Calm down and listen carefully, Todd found that it was not the sound of thunder and lightning at all, but the roar of explosives.

Froststone's army is fighting Cu Chulainn's army!

Todd violently waved his dragon wings, and his huge figure flew towards the direction of the sound like a shell out of the chamber.

In front of the pass of a canyon, the soldiers of Froststone City set up a large shield, raised their spears, and took advantage of the terrain to firmly defend the canyon.

In the canyon, a large number of archers and throwers threw arrows and explosives out of the shield wall towards the enemy troops outside the canyon.

On the plain outside the canyon, there are people everywhere as far as you can see, and it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people.

These people were naked, the weapons in their hands were extremely crude, and they fought without any rules at all. They were completely launching suicide charges again and again regardless of life or death.
