Alien Knights

Chapter 440: Bloody Battle at Lone Rock City (11)

?"Am I dreaming?!"

Standing on the top of the mountain, Garcia looked at the black dragon slowly falling in the sky, his legs were soft, and he knelt down on the ground, muttering: "This is the messenger of God!"

Eleanor gently pressed her chest, her face flushed, and whispered: "What a beautiful creature, this is my dream!"

On the plain of the back mountain of Lone Rock City, Cumberland, riding on a war horse, slowly lifted the mask at the beginning, pointed the blood-stained lance at the ground, and let the corpse hanging on it fall to the ground.

Watching the figure in the sky spread the dragon wings, listening to the thunderous dragon roar in his ear, he opened his mouth wide and said to himself: "My God!"

The dragon flicked its tail and hit the watchtower of the royal city. The towering building broke from it and fell to the imperial army below.

The soldiers waking up like a dream, crying and screaming, dropping their weapons, avoiding the collapsed building lifelessly, fleeing the royal city in swarms, and ran towards the inner city on the mountainside.

With a pale face, Elem took out the musket from his waist and shouted at the deserters: "Don't run away! Give me all back!"

No one obeyed his orders, even the most loyal soldier, facing the giant in front of him, the only choice he made was to survive.

The black dragon flapped its wings and flew from the top of the king's city to mid-air, then dived down again, and began to circle the edge of the city non-stop.

There was a bang.

A solid shell flew abruptly into the air, drawing a trajectory in the sky.

The uninjured black dragon looked at the direction of the projectile, tilted his body slightly, opened the dragon's wings, and flew towards the direction of the artillery.

On the artillery position outside the inner city wall of the Ayyub Empire, an imperial artillery captain who had just fired the cannon looked at the huge black shadow that was getting closer and closer in the sky, his whole body shuddering like sifting chaff. He hurriedly dropped the torch in his hand and wanted to turn around to escape, but found that his legs seemed to grow on the ground, and he couldn't take any steps.

The black dragon's golden pupils reflected the horrified face of the offender.

Longkou Zhang Qi, a one-meter-thick pillar of white fire, across the sky, directly bombarded the artillery position.

The human body was instantly burned into black charcoal in the flame; after the pile of gunpowder was burnt, it caused a earth-shattering explosion.

The empire’s artillery position turned into a purgatory on earth in a blink of an eye. The shooting fragments and soaring flames brought death to hundreds of soldiers in the surrounding area. The towering city walls were finally unable to support under the successive blows. The weight completely collapsed.

The black dragon paused for a while, then cast his gaze on the other enemies in his field of vision.

Pillars of fire spouted from its mouth one after another, hitting any enemy armed with weapons in the city, and the entire Guyan city suddenly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Under the protection of the royal guards, Saladin, who was hiding in the ruins, watched the dusty Elem stumble towards him, smiled bitterly and said to him: "Bring your troops, we are afraid we will give up this A city."

Elem still seemed unwilling to believe everything in front of him: "How could a dragon appear here?!"

Saladin seemed calmer: "On the battlefield, everything is possible. However, no one would have expected what happened today..."

Elem nodded bitterly: "Caliph, in short, this is not a place to talk, you should ride away first, don't walk through the city gate, there is already a sea of ​​flames."

"The horse can't be ridden." Saladin smiled bitterly and looked at the trembling war horse lying on the ground not far away, and said, "We must find another way to retreat."

Watching the dragon flying above his head fly away, Ellem lowered his body, got into the shadow of the building, and carefully crawled to the back.

He looked into the distance through the gap in the building, and later climbed back and said: "There is a collapsed city wall in the southwest. I will organize the remaining troops and leave Guyan City from there."

Saladin nodded and replied, "Go, and may God bless you and me."

Elum walked out of the ruins, and finally glanced at the huge black figure flying freely in the sky, gritted his teeth, and said bitterly: "One day, one day I will let you fall under my feet!"

The fire in Guyan City burned all day and night. When the last flame in the city turned into light white smoke, it marked the end of the war initiated by the Southern Empire.

More than 30,000 people lost their lives in this small square inch of Guyan City in just a few days.

As for the Ayub Empire, the army of more than 12,000 men on the expedition had fewer than 2,000 men on the return trip.

Among them, those imperial troops that landed in the northern plains totaled 4,000 troops. When they lost their main general and were frustrated in the siege, their back formation was suddenly attacked by the Twilight Knights. They were in chaos. They locked in defeat within an hour of fighting, and eventually the entire army was wiped out. And the imperial fleet consisting of thirteen warships of all kinds was sunk six, and the commander-in-chief Ratib did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Among the subordinates of the Imperial Emperor Saladin, only a few hundred soldiers died as a result of the fighting. The direct cause of death of the remaining 5,000 soldiers was the fire in the burning city, but the real cause can be said to be the black dragon that suddenly appeared.

In Guyan City, there were more than 20,000 casualties.

Among them, the three thousand reinforcements stationed on the Moon Creek Plain were defeated one by one in Saladin’s encirclement and reinforcement tactics, and the survivors were less than one-tenth; the 800 defenders in the city, including the kingdom regent Jenning Si, in the battle with the imperial army, he chose jade fragments and no one survived; in addition, there were more than 20,000 people in the city. After the war, there were only a thousand people who really escaped.

In Twilight, there are two troops that actually participated in the battle, namely the "Theatrical Guard" led by Knight Commander Horn, with a total of 20 knights and 150 soldiers; and the commander of Cumberland. The main force of the Knight Order that led and was responsible for lifting the siege of Guyan City, a total of 300 alien knights.

The former was on the mountain road behind Guyan city ~lightnovelpub.net~, facing dozens of times the enemy army and persisted for two days and two nights. At the end of the war, one hundred and fifty soldiers survived and 17 people survived, but only three of the twenty knights survived. Knight Commander Horn... not among them.

The main force of the knights mentioned in the latter group also suffered the deaths of nine knights in the face of the imperial guns.

In addition to the casualties of these forces, there are two key roles.

One is the guard of the Golden Skylark Theater-Randall.

The knights led by Cumberland waited for the fire to go out. With the cooperation of the surviving people, they entered Lone Rock City and searched for several days. They have not found the whereabouts of this person. In desperation, they can only announce the death of Randall. .

As for the other character, that mysterious black dragon.

After suddenly appearing and inflicting a devastating blow on the imperial army, the black dragon hovered over the city for half a day, then flew into the clouds and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the infinite imagination and various rumors of later generations.
