Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Crisis of the Royal Capital

While the griffin knights were excitedly roaring long live our king, the magic that had been silent suddenly flashed with a dazzling light, and then a blue grid rushed towards the griffin knights......

Budur's face changed and he roared angrily: "Magic grid! Oh no, we've been tricked, retreat! With a stabbing sound, nearly a hundred griffin knights were electrocuted on the spot, and nearly three hundred griffon knights fell to the ground because their mounts were temporarily paralyzed. Now that the griffin knights are at an altitude of nearly eighty meters, this fall is inevitable unless they are level 8 professionals. However, some of the lucky knights still fell on the walls of Gardel, but they were seriously injured and did not die immediately. But their good fortune ended there, when a group of heavily armored Praetorian Guards suddenly appeared on the walls, and the griffon knights who landed on the walls were chopped to pulp.

Budur's heart was cold at this time, heaven and hell were so close, and the instantaneous reversal almost made him unbearable. "Commander, what should we do?" A griffin knight asked in a panic.

"Withdraw! We have been ambushed, so let's retreat. Budur's words were almost squeezed out of his teeth, and he knew that although the failure of this raid was not his fault, his position as the commander of the division was probably no longer guaranteed.

"But what about those brothers?" The knight said, pointing to the nearly hundred griffin knights who had fallen on the wall.

Following the knight's guidance, I saw those colleagues who fell on the city wall and were surrounded by the Praetorian Guard Legion, Budur's heart was dripping blood, and all the griffin knights in the griffin kingdom of Rigard together were less than 30,000, not that Rigard's griffons were not enough, but the harsh conditions for becoming griffin knights limited the number of griffin knights, and the griffin knights must be a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, otherwise they would not be able to control the griffins who are extremely hungry for magic.

But as a competent commander, he knew that he had to be decisive at this time, because every second a griffon knight was hit by a magic tower and fell to the ground. "All retreat!" Beard roared, then slapped the griffon beneath him and turned away from the place he would never forget. Although the griffin knights were not reconciled, they had been given orders more than anything else since they were young, so they had to evacuate with Budur......

Under Gardel, a dark figure walked up to a griffin knight who had fallen from the air to the ground and was not yet dead, sneering and stretching out his dagger-sharp claws, which directly ended his painful life. "It's interesting like this, it's not fair for the 200,000 Griffin Knight Legion to be the sons of the 100,000 Kingdom Praetorian Guards, and they even think about raiding." The assassin sneered.

The Praetorian Guard has a total of 200,000 people, and its essence has been buried by Marshal Tiele in the plains of Bildia, and a third of the remaining 100,000 people are idle sons and daughters in the royal city, and it is a dream to rely on them to fight with the griffin army. Even with the help of dozens of magic towers in the city, this battle is enough to hang.

Will kicked Budur a few meters away and roared, "Nodur, you loser, just this time you have caused us to lose 500 brave griffon knights, I cut you!" As he spoke, he was about to draw his sword, and the officer next to him saw this and hurriedly went up to stop it, and after a while of work, Will panted and said: "I can not kill you, but you don't have to be the commander of your division, give me back to Lorraine, now, immediately!" "Will wasn't ready to kill Budur in the first place, no matter how he said he was also his adopted son, but sometimes the superficial drama had to be done enough.

Don't bow your head from beginning to end without giving a hint of explanation, the tradition of the Rigadian is defeated is defeated, and no one will listen to your reasons. Hearing Will let him return to Lorraine City, his eyes dimmed for a while, and he knew that he had lost his life with the Fourth Griffin Knight Legion, and if Will only demoted him, he would be able to climb back in the future, but now that he was driven back to Lorraine City, his life would be over.

Will didn't go to see the dejected Budur, and it was a last resort to drive him away. Now the rumors in the royal capital that he had been self-respecting and did not obey orders made him feel alarmed, and he asked himself if he was loyal to King Charles, but he was also extremely afraid of these rumors. Originally, he gave the commander of the First Division to Budur to strengthen his control over the Fourth Division, but now that Budur has suffered defeat, he can't keep him in the Griffon Legion, otherwise I am afraid that the rumors of cronyism will be fulfilled. Although the Fourth Griffin Legion is almost his personal army, both in terms of military expenses and personnel, it is one of the nine legions directly under the kingdom after all.

"Order, the whole army accelerates the march, breaks through the Gardel, and captures St. Ullan VI alive!" Will ordered.

"Defeat Gardel! Capture St. Ulan VI alive! All the soldiers of the Fourth Griffin Legion of Rigaard roared in unison, and the sound reached the city of Gardel, making the faces of the sons of the Praetorian Legion turn pale......

The Great Tent of the Legion of the Holy Prayer Legion outside the Monolithic Fortress.

"What? Rigard raided the king of the capital of Gardel overnight? Old bastard Charlie, you don't even talk about credit! Tial roared and kicked the table beside him.

"Marshal, what shall we do? If Garder is breached, we will be a wandering army with no one to rely on. One of the officers said worriedly.

Tiar, who had calmed down, frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "What is the current situation in the royal capital?" ”

A low-ranking officer took the information and read: "On the night of July 17 in the continental calendar, nearly 5,000 griffin knights of the Fourth Griffin Legion of Rigard came to Gardel and were annihilated by our magic tower using a magic power grid. Half an hour later, the Fourth Griffin Legion launched a strong attack, the enemy firepower was extremely fierce, and it was currently preliminarily estimated that there were nearly a hundred city-breaking level magic bed crossbows, if it were not for the magic barrier protection arranged by the magic tower, the Gardel city wall would have been broken. The fierce battle lasted for nine hours, and it was not until dawn on the 18th that Rigard stopped attacking. Our losses totaled 30,000 men, and the enemy's losses are unknown. At present, His Majesty the King has issued a temporary war mobilization order, and the 800,000 people in the city should be able to mobilize 200,000 troops. ”

"Those nobles in the city who only know how to eat idle meals are mobilized to have a fart." An officer said dissatisfied.

"There are still many mages in the city, but those nobles don't think about it for the time being, civilian professionals are simply scattered, and it is a joke to want to rely on them to defend the capital." Tial said.

"We must return to help, the Fourth Griffin Legion has gotten so many city-breaking level magic bed crossbows from there, and the king will hold on for two days at most." Tial said in an almost affirmative tone.
