Chapter 67: Surprise Attack on Gardel
"There are four walking in front and two following behind, tiger, you take people to keep an eye on the bright sentry in front, and you can also act after I go to solve the dark sentry." A man in a beast's fur commanded. "Don't worry, boss, I promise to let them fall without saying a word." The man, known as Tiger, replied. These men are the elite scouts of the Rigard Beast Battalion, and this time their mission is to remove the St. Ulan scouts from the route of the army to ensure the secrecy of Rigard's main force.
"Pete, did you say that there will be Rigardians in this wilderness?" Said a St. Ulan soldier. "Whether he shows up or not, we'll all have to patrol here, it's really unfortunate, and if His Majesty hadn't withdrawn the Sacred Prayer Legion and ceded the two counties to Rigard, it wouldn't have been all this." Pete complained. One of the soldiers exclaimed, "Pete, be careful, you don't want to live anymore?" If your word goes to the Gendarmerie Division, it's troublesome. Several soldiers looked bad when they heard the Gendarmerie Division, and it was obvious that the place was still quite a deterrent to them.
"I've heard that the people of Rigadian are like wild beasts, and even humans eat them." A soldier said to break the gloomy atmosphere. "Don't listen to the, he always boasted that he had served two years in the Legion of the Holy Prayers, that he had cut down the Rigadians with his own hands. My uncle, who was an officer in the Sacred Prayer Corps, told me that he was a cook, and that he hadn't ......touched a weapon in two years," everyone laughed.
"But the Rigadians are really fierce, my uncle told me...... Hey, why don't you keep quiet? The soldier looked back and saw a man in a beast skin looking at him with a bloody blade. The soldier was about to cry out when he felt a chill in his neck, and then he fell straight behind his back, a short sword that had entered without a chest in his back. "Tiger, if it weren't for me today, this kid would have screamed, you would definitely be sent to a military court, how can you thank me?" A man half a head lower than a tiger said.
"you, I can't scream without your goods, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet!" A few of Rigard's scouts left after a fight. None of them noticed that on a tree, a black-haired man suddenly appeared from the void, and the corners of his mouth raised a trace of arc and sneered: "The master is asking you to storm the Holy Ulan Royal Capital, but not to let you attack the Royal Capital, how can you not follow the master's script?" Looks like you still need my help! After saying that, he disappeared into the void......
In the march of the Fourth Griffin Legion of Rigard, a scout galloped to Will Boothloe's side on a horse from a distance, dismounted and knelt on the ground, and reported: "Report to Lord Marshal, thirty miles ahead is the royal capital of St. Ulan, and we have pulled out all the enemy sentries along the way, and there is no trace of leakage. ”
Will said excitedly: "Very good, if you can break through the royal capital this time, your beast battalion will all remember a great merit, and I will reward you well when I go back!" ”
After hearing this, the scout couldn't help but say excitedly: "Marshal Xie Lu, Marshal Xie Luxi!" ”
Will waved him back and said to the commander of the First Griffin Division beside him: "You take all the griffin knights and leave all the supplies behind and hurry forward, and you will definitely take the gate of Gardel before the St. Ulans react, and my commander will arrive later." ”
"Yes, marshal, you will live up to your expectations." After speaking, the commander of the 1st Griffin Division saluted and rode away on his mount......
After a while, the sound of wings fluttering sounded from all around, and although most of the stars in the sky were obscured by dark clouds due to the magic of the mages who accompanied the military today, Will could still vaguely see the griffons in the sky.
Budur Buslow, is Will's adopted son, because he showed amazing fighting talent at a very young age, so he was favored by Will and brought to the army, followed Will to fight for more than 20 years, Budur became the division commander of the first griffin division with talent, this time Will let him take the griffin knight to attack the city first, the meaning is very obvious, is to let him get this military merit to stabilize the position of the commander of the first division.
The griffons didn't fly very fast because of the dim light, but Pier wasn't worried that the griffons would fly in the wrong direction. Not far ahead, the glittering King of St. Ulan's Dugardell is an excellent guiding lamp. "At this time, they are still drunk and dreaming of death, the people of St. Ulan are not worthy of living in this world, only the fierce Rigard is the real overlord of the north!" Budur sneered.
The royal capital of St. Ulan, Gardel, covers an area of 160 square kilometers and at its peak had a population of nearly one million. The streets in the city are illuminated by magic crystal energy, and the royal palace is even brightly lit by magic crystal lamps, and nearly 50,000 standard energy crystals are consumed every year for the lighting of the royal capital. This is a luxury for the Rigard, who is accustomed to turning all resources into combat power, and would rather have the royal capital filled with candles and oil lamps than waste a single energy crystal.
"After the city is broken, these will all belong to our Rigard, and the great Rigard will definitely dominate the north!" Budur said.
Rigard is an extremely complex people, who are both martial and aggressive. Both nobles and commoners were taken to the big city at the age of three to have their qualifications tested, and if they were found to have professional potential, they were adopted by the state and trained to become a qualified warrior. The Rigardian were synonymous with loyalty and fanaticism at the same time, and once the king of the kingdom ascended the throne, the whole country was loyal to him, and there were few major rebellions in Rigard's nearly 1,000-year history, except when the people thought that the king was not strong enough. Therefore, although Rigard has hundreds of feudal lords, he has not commanded like other kingdoms in the slightest, and these lords have always acted as the vanguard of Rigard's invasion of other kingdoms.
Today, King Charles of Rigard is the most powerful and warlike of all kings. It itself has the strength of a ninth-level sword master, and during his reign, he annexed the territory of the surrounding kingdoms faster than any other king, and even St. Peter once lost two counties to Rigard, although Rigard did not defend the hard-won territory, but also gained great prestige for King Charles.
Seeing that the griffon knights were about to fly over the walls of Gardel, and the magic towers, which were dark compared to the bright streets, seemed to be motionless, and Dur's heart was about to jump out. I will be the first general under Charles's throne to destroy a kingdom, and I will destroy a kingdom, and Dur shuddered with excitement at the thought of this. Seeing that he was about to climb over the city walls, Budur excitedly shouted, "Warriors! For His Majesty King Charles! ”
"Long live my king!" ……
