Chapter 84 For the Empire
Richard raised his left hand, and thousands of Darkblade Knights came out of the formation, forming a shock formation in front of these Imperial warriors, and then began to gallop and charge,
"For the Empire. I don't know which Imperial veteran was the first to shout, and then all the Imperial veterans roared: "For the Empire,." ”
The Knight of the Dark Blade was like a black wave set off by a tsunami, carrying a suffocating momentum, and the veterans of the empire burst out with amazing combat power, and actually blocked the huge wave for a moment, but the huge wave immediately surged by, drowning them, and where the iron hooves of the Knight of the Dark Blade stepped on, no one stood,
Richard moved his brain, turned around and headed northeast,
On the earth, the demon knights have received the order of the thinker, and turned on the blood ability, when this ability is activated, their speed, explosiveness and durability will be greatly enhanced, at the cost of shortening the life of half a year, the knight torrent suddenly accelerated, with the speed that only when charging, towards the distant Li Shilongtu,
Li Shilongtu only slowed down for less than ten minutes, and suddenly woke up to the fact that Richard did not divide his troops to pursue, so it can be said that he was not sure that he could catch up with the emperor who was full of cavalry and motorized corps, but another possibility was that Richard was completely sure that he could catch up with him.
Li Shilongtu's intuition was more inclined to the latter, so he immediately ordered to advance to the Ice Fortress at full speed, but only sent a herald to the assembly area, so that the army there could move closer to the Ice Fortress, this order was actually extremely vicious, Li Shilongtu regarded the rout of the assembly area as an outcast, hoping to block Richard for a while,
After running all the way, the ice fortress has already loomed on the horizon, the imperial generals have just let out a long breath, and suddenly feel that the earth began to tremble abnormally, they unconsciously looked back, and happened to see a row of black lines on the horizon in the south, just like the prelude to a storm, rolling forward, seeing the speed of these cavalry galloping, more than one general exclaimed in shock: "How could they be so fast,." ”
This question also crossed Li Shilongtu's throat, and almost gushed out, because the speed of Richard's pursuit had exceeded the speed of the imperial cavalry's charge,
That's the gap between Noland and Farrow,
Although the Ice Fortress is in sight, but at this last point, the Imperial Army will no longer have the ability to complete.
A magnificent cavalry duel, more than 40,000 knights of all kinds fought on the land of the north, Richard once again showed his delicate command of battle, commanding his knights like slow-paced infantry, the imperial cavalry seemed to fight very tenacious, but the actual results were pitiful, even the humanoid knights could deal with three or four imperial cavalry with their own strength, and the combat power of the mobile corps that were not good at fighting immediately was even more insufficient,
In the end, Richard defeated the Imperial Mobile Corps without any suspense, and at the same time forced Li Shilongtu to make an extremely painful decision, that is, to abandon his corps and lead his guards to evacuate first, to put it mildly, that is, to escape,
The generals of the empire all expressed their understanding of Li Shilongtu's decision, and a living Li Shilongtu was undoubtedly more meaningful than dying here, so at the beginning of the war, when the balance of strength and weakness began to tilt significantly, Li Shilongtu led more than a thousand soldiers to bypass the ice fortress and rush to the imperial capital only dozens of kilometers away.
Richard was not in a hurry, but stayed and commanded the battle for fifteen minutes, until the defeat of the imperial cavalry was achieved, then he instigated a distraction and flew away in the direction of Li Shilongtu's escape, and at the same time, four hundred knights broke away from the brigade and followed Richard closely,
The wind was very cold and hard, lying on the back of a violently bumpy horse, Li Shilongtu only felt that the oncoming wind hit his face like an axe and a chisel, and it hurt hotly, he didn't even remember the last time he was chased so wolf, but now, there was no sense of shame in his heart, there was only coldness, a kind of desperate coldness,
Ten years ago, Sarenwell's voice seemed to be ringing in his ears again, he advocated the whole country to completely eliminate Richard, who had not yet unified the bloodstained land, at that time, out of the needs of politics, Li Shilongtu became the strongest and most powerful tongue of the opponent, and also successfully drove Sarenwell away from the center of power in the empire, at that time, this meant that Sarenwell cut off the hope of inheriting the throne, but now that I think back, at that time, only Sarenwell in the entire empire was the real foresight,
And in the battle outside the Divine Cry Pass, Li Shilongtu won Sarenwell again, but he lost to Richard,
As soon as he thought of this, Li Shilongtu's heart hurt like a thorn, he felt that the wind became colder, and the running war horses became more bumpy, but fortunately, the outline of the imperial capital was already far away,
At this moment, a team of knights galloped at an incredible speed, and slanted into the gap between Li Shilongtu and the imperial capital, blocking the retreat of the legendary marshal of the empire.
A chilling breath suddenly fell from the sky, and the hideous and terrifying shape of the split brain slowly descended, falling between the knights of the Crimson Principality, and the war horses of the imperial side were stimulated by the breath of the split brain, and they all stood up, Li Shilongtu has been sleepless for a day and a night, running and running for his life until now, he has long been exhausted, and he has been exhausted for a while
His feet were stiff, and he fell straight from his horse and fell heavily on the ground.
Richard stood on the distraction, silently looking at the imperial marshal struggling in the cold land, Li Shilongtu's helmet was gone, his long gray hair and beard looked messy and dusty,
The marshal, with the support of his guards, stood up with difficulty, coughed violently for a while, and the blood he coughed up stained the armor on his chest red, he gasped for a moment, looked up at Richard, smiled bitterly, and asked, "Richard." ”
"It's me. ”
Li Shilongtu pushed away the support of the guards and walked closer to Richard, looked at Richard's unchanged face carefully, and sighed: "It's really young, you and your teacher are not from our world." ”
"Definitely. Richard didn't mind letting him get close to a dangerous distance,
Li Shilongtu sighed: "This fact is obvious to us mortals, but I don't understand why our gods didn't react, and even, the three goddesses are on your side." ”
Richard said, "That's because my teacher once fought with the gods here, and the gods who could react were beaten to sleep by the teacher." ”
Li Shilongtu's eyes widened suddenly, and after a while, he came back to his senses, sighed and said, "No wonder, no wonder many gods suddenly became weak, or fell asleep, the three goddesses should be afraid of your teacher's power and fear, afraid of falling, and finally stood on your side." ”
Richard glanced back in the direction of the imperial capital, and said lightly: "Li Shilongtu, although I have brought few people, it only takes one charge to destroy your little people, so don't expect the army of the imperial capital to be able to save you." ”
Li Shilongtu smiled and said, "It is true that I once had some extravagant hopes, but it was only a little bit, come on, although I am old, I can still wield a sword and fight like a warrior." ”
Li Shilongtu pulled out his sword and posed as the emperor ** with swordsmanship, this swordsmanship has followed him for decades, and has already reached the realm of perfection.
Richard raised his left hand and pointed forward, and hundreds of knights rushed out from his left and right, killing Li Shilongtu and his guards in an instant.
A generation of imperial marshals, this is the end of the curtain, this is the only defeat in Li Shilongtu's life, and the last defeat, Li Shilongtu is calm and solemn, and has the cold-blooded ruthlessness that Richard and Sarenwell do not have, and belongs to the most difficult to defeat the kind of enemy on the battlefield, if it is in the case of equal forces, Richard is probably not his opponent, Sarenwell also loses mostly, but unfortunately, with the brood, Richard, who is backed by Norland, has an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield, and Li Shilongtu is possessed by the military gods of the past dynasties, and there is absolutely no room for reversal.
The old marshal fell to the ground half-on his back, and a fist-sized blood stain on his chest was still expanding,
The scar on the marshal's chest Richard is very familiar, this is the tip of the mounted spear on the breastplate, and then the instant burst of fighting energy on the spear edge penetrates the armor and body, shattering the heart inside, this is one of the favorite moves of the knight, specially used to deal with opponents with average strength, can kill many enemies in an instant, and then sweep away with the cavalry lance, clearing the way forward,
Li Shilongtu may be a figure who shocks the entire Iron Triangle Empire and even the famous Western Continent, but in the eyes of Richard's constructed knight, he is just an ordinary old man whose combat effectiveness can be ignored.
The marshal still had the last glimmer of life, his chest rose and fell with difficulty, his eyes looked at the dim sky, his lips opened, and he spat out the last slogan: "For ...... The empire ......" and then fell asleep,
Richard jumped down from his distraction, walked to the old marshal's corpse, stared at it for a moment, and then straightened his body with his own hands, keeping him in a supine sleeping position, and then Richard took the marshal's saber and stuck it in the ground beside him,
Li Shilongtu did not lose unjustly, until the moment before his death, he still did not really know what kind of troops Richard mobilized in this war, the number of 80,000 troops of the principality is not too important, what really matters is that it includes the ten years of military accumulation of the mother nest, more than two hundred knights and a large number of powerful followers, such a force is enough to defeat most of the floating island giants of the Holy Alliance head-on, even if the giants have legendary powerhouses, the combination of Richard and Faceless can also compete with the general legend, so naturally not afraid,
From this point of view, Li Shilongtu is not unjustly lost,
The most tricky thing in the lower plane is the gods of this plane, but several of the powerful gods have been severely injured by Su Helen, and they have not been able to recover until now, and the legendary mage is obviously worried about being forced to sleep for several years, and has been mysterious and secretive recently, sneakily not knowing what she is busy with, but some clues show that she seems to want to come to Faro again and take revenge.
Under the hint of black gold, Richard did not send back the updated coordinates that had been adjusted by the time flow rate after the end of the divine grace, but with the ability of the legendary mage, based on the last coordinate, it was only a matter of time to calculate the new coordinates.
ps: Finally got the second update,
