Chapter 1129: Soldiers Descend on the City
"You...... Are you crazy, you brought us both here!" The old general stared at the heavily guarded walls and gates, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
If he was not afraid of embarrassing Her Majesty, he would have taken off his armor and helmet, which symbolized his status, at the first time, in case he would be noticed by the patrolling soldiers, and then become a prisoner in shame.
However, Isolt was obviously unafraid, raised his head to look at the guards who had not yet reacted to what was happening, and shook his head with a smile: "Crazy? No! I'm not crazy! On the contrary, I want you to cooperate with me to put on a good show here." Remember the army you mentioned? I'm going to hand them all over to you now. ”
The words just fell!
He carefully pulled the scroll out of his bosom and activated the powerful magic stored within.
Moment!
A huge portal to another dimension appeared out of thin air, and thousands of humanoid creatures shimmering with silver glowed from from within it.
In the blink of an eye, a well-equipped army of about 10,000 people appeared in the open space directly in front of the castle.
Although they didn't make a single sound from beginning to end, the visual impact shocked everyone who saw it.
"Can anyone tell me what the fuck this is?" asked the soldiers next to him with his mouth wide open as an officer standing at the head of the city.
"Hug ...... I'm sorry, sir, I don't know. The two men seemed to have suddenly appeared outside the city through some magical power, and they looked as if they were about to attack the city. The soldier stammered his opinion.
"Damn it! Drop the iron gates and close the gates! Ring the alarm bells! Inform the Baron, and say that the enemy has arrived. ”
The officer who reacted quickly did not talk nonsense, immediately issued a series of orders, and even hacked to death two guys who were panicked and tried to escape with their own hands in order to prevent chaos.
After all, this rebel army itself is a rabble cobbled together by dozens of noble private soldiers.
Maybe it can still show good combat effectiveness in the face of third-rate garrisons, but once it is against the elite kingdom army, the chance of victory is basically zero.
So from the very beginning, the initiators made a strategy of capturing the transportation hub and then defending it.
Only by relying on the protection of the tall city walls can they offset the disadvantages and fight a long-term and protracted defensive war.
Baron Marais obviously attached great importance to the sudden enemy, and before he even had time to put on his armor, he hurriedly ran out, staring condescendingly at the mysterious army that flashed with a white glow.
After observing a heavy one, he asked in a very nervous tone, "How did these ghost things appear?"
"You were summoned! Did you see the two figures behind you? According to the soldiers' reports, they must have done it. The officer pointed to two black dots about a kilometer away from the city gates.
When Baron Marais heard this, he immediately raised the monoculars in his hand.
When he saw the faces and faces of the two of them, he suddenly gasped and exclaimed in a low voice: "Isolt and Tether Wilia's most trusted right-hand man!"
"What? Are you sure?"
"Be sure to see clearly! Our men only saw Isolt in the royal court two days ago. ”
"That's right! Tether should also be held back in the middle of the river, along with the counterinsurgency army he leads. ”
......
For a while, many of the nobles involved in the rebellion were extremely panicked.
There's no way not to panic!
In order to capture Tilesburg as quickly and efficiently as possible, they only gathered an army of less than 3,000 people, for fear of accidentally leaking the news.
Even after the capture, the later troops arrived one after another, and the total number of defenders in the castle did not exceed 5,000.
But outside, there were more than 10,000 humanoid creatures with a glowing ghostly light, and their discipline and equipment level were far higher than those of the defenders.
"Shut up, do you think I'm wrong about such an important target?" Baron Marais turned and glared at his ally viciously, his face full of solemnity.
"So...... We're about to face a siege from this army?"
As the initiator of the entire rebellion, the court nobles finally couldn't help but stand up and ask cautiously.
If there was anyone who was least likely to be forgiven of all the nobles who participated in the rebellion, it was him.
Secretly defecting to a foreign monarch, seditions in his own country, and even trying to force the queen to surrender her power, marrying a foreign prince to become a plaything and puppet, no matter which one you are, is enough to make him and his family die ten thousand times.
"Yes! Let's go down and be ready to fight to the death! At the moment, we have no way out. Either hold the castle or die by the enemy's sword. I hope that everyone present can be like a true nobleman, even in the face of death, do not abandon bravery and glory. ”
With that, Baron Marais drew his sword and shouted at the officers behind him: "From this moment on, all the soldiers are divided into two squads to guard the city wall day and night, and if they find any signs of attack from the enemy, they will immediately ring the alarm. In addition, all the goods in the warehouse that could be used in the war were also taken out and distributed. Especially food, be sure to make sure that each soldier has an adequate supply of meat and alcohol. The former can make them more physically strong, and the latter can eliminate fear and anxiety. I had a hunch that the real test was about to come. ”
"As you wish, Your Excellency. The adjutant bowed and moved as fast as he could.
In less than half an hour, the huge military fortress was in a state of combat readiness, and a large number of stone throwers, bed crossbows, and ballistas were all aimed at the motionless mysterious army outside the city, and they would launch a stormy attack at the first order.
In contrast, Isolt, who was located outside the city, was very relaxed, and asked the old general who seemed to be petrified with a smile: "How, dear general, are you still satisfied with this army provided by Her Majesty?"
"Yes, of course, but I have a question, are they ghosts? Why do bodies always disappear?" asked Tateser, turning around excitedly.
"No, they're not ghosts, they're a special species created through magic, and they obey any orders they give 100 percent. Remember, my friend, Her Majesty is not giving you this hole card just to quell the rebellion. She needs to use this incident to give all potential enemies a warning, a memorable lesson. Betrayal must pay in blood!" Isolt said meaningfully about Vilia's true intentions.
When Taser heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he cautiously asked, "To what extent should the so-called blood be paid?"
"Hehe, have you ever heard of the massacre? It's the kind of soldier who tells the soldiers that they can kill civilians, rape women, and plunder property with impunity after the city is broken. Everything you are not allowed to do in normal times is okay from the moment you give the order. ”
Isolt smiled and gave a creepy hint......
