Chapter 723 The Attack Like a Crushable Bamboo

The burly man wearing a rose-red robe with a rose in his mouth was none other than the Marquis Rose, the lord of the winemaking town of Lan Leng Castle under Lei Xiao's command.

Following Lei Xiao's order, the Marquis of Rose's most important task in this battle was to lead the garrison of Lan Leng Fort to capture Songluo City, the core city of the traditional nobles in this area.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that as long as the core city of the traditional aristocrats was captured first, it would definitely deal a huge blow to the morale of other traditional aristocratic forces in this area.

On the battlefield, under the command of the Marquis of Rose, the well-trained garrison of Lan Leng Fort quickly launched a series of magic cannons and began to bombard the remaining defensive troops in Songluo City.

Due to the strength of Lan Leng Fort, there are 5 garrison brigades and 5 guard squadrons in total, so the Marquis Rose did not choose to disperse the siege of the city, but divided his troops into two groups to attack the weaker east and west walls of Songluo City, making the other You can't look at each other from head to tail.

For a moment, the roar of the magic cannon resounded through the sky, causing the unsuspecting Songluo City to be filled with gunpowder and smoke, and the city was in chaos.

The main army of Songluo City was annihilated by Lei Xiao during the territorial offensive and defensive battle in the forest last night, and the current city lord, Luo Tuo, was also killed.

Currently defending the city, there are only three brigade-sized reserve teams, which cannot compare with the main force in terms of strength, morale, or equipment.

"Counterattack! Counterattack my lord!"

On the west wall of Songluo City, a fat nobleman in a gorgeous robe waved his staff and slammed at the captain of the archer who was covering his head to avoid magic, and shouted angrily: "Usually you bully Where is the ruthlessness of Free Farmers? What a bunch of trash!"

This person is the left-behind commander of Songluo City, Viscount Baggios, whose strength is at the level of a third-tier senior expert.

Baggios is the current chief referee of the Songluo City Court, that is, Roto's successor. It can be said that he has inherited all of Roto's ruthless methods. As long as he personally participates in the torture, no one can live to see the next day The sun, even the old and the weak, women and children.

Not long ago, Baggios had just received the news that the White Knights had been defeated and Roto's whereabouts were unknown.

After receiving this unexpected news, Baggios did not feel disappointed, but was extremely excited. This undoubtedly means that he, who currently has the highest title and position, will have the right to speak in Songluo City in the future. Even ascending to the position of city lord is not impossible!

However, when Baggios was imagining the future, he was suddenly attacked by the present.

"The coat of arms of interlaced blue roses and wine glasses... The attacker is actually the little-known Lan Leng Castle?!"

Seeing the flags under the city clearly, Baggios was surprised, his eyes rolled slyly, and he could not help but ponder.

Prior to this, Lan Lengbao had been in a neutral state of non-aggression. In addition, the city lord, the Marquis Rose, acted in a low-key manner, and his sense of presence had always been very low.

But now, the opponent dared to attack Songluo City blatantly, which undoubtedly meant that he had already joined a certain camp!

"According to the battle report sent back, the new aristocratic forces are fighting fiercely with the city lord Nakongqing in Kongqing Town, and they are already at a disadvantage. , that is, the camp of the city lord Kongqing?!"

Thinking of this in his heart, Baggios' fat face suddenly became gloomy.

"That Kongqing City Lord is just a lowly alien lord, who dares to attack Songluo City, the important town of the traditional nobles in this area? It's life and death!"

"This is the central area of ​​the traditional nobles like us. As long as you send out a signal for help and ask the surrounding cities for support, even the remaining reserve troops will be enough to make the opponent suffer. At that time, my lord will lead the army to fight out again. The helpless rose Marquis, don't you have to die for sure?"

A murderous intent suddenly appeared on Baggios's face, and he said in his heart: "This is the territory of our traditional nobles, and the untouchables below are only qualified to be controlled by us and traditional nobles, and no one else is allowed to touch them." !"

After making up his mind, Baggios waved his hand, greeted the deputy general beside him, and ordered sharply: "Go, call some strong pariahs to defend, it is perfect to make these pariahs cannon fodder! Then Sending elite soldiers for help..."

However, before Baggios could finish speaking, a huge and burly figure was already floating in front of him, surrounded by a group of figures exuding impressive momentum.

It was the Marquis of Rose and the five third-tier magic powerhouses under his command.

"You are the commander here, right? That condescending and loud voice is really easy to distinguish."

While the emerald green magic wings were flapping, there was a look of disdain on Marquis Rose's square face.

Before the terrified Baggios could reply, Marquis Rose waved his staff gracefully, and countless giant wooden cones fell from the sky, roaring towards Baggios.

Since all this happened between lightning and flint, the soldiers who stayed on the city wall reacted.

The sharp wooden awl had already penetrated Baggios' fat body without any hindrance, and directly nailed him to the city wall, causing a **** smell to permeate immediately.

Marquis Rose, who is a Tier 4, 2-star forest great magician, and the Tier 5 staff bestowed by Lei Xiao, can deal with such a small character with ease.

Glancing at the lifeless corpse, Marquis Rose waved his staff again, killing the miscellaneous soldiers who swarmed up around him, and cleared his throat, causing his elegant and sharp voice to spread throughout the entire city wall.

"I am loyal to Her Royal Highness Princess Ariel, and I will fight for Her Royal Highness, aiming to completely eradicate the fallen nobles entrenched here. Her Royal Highness Princess Ariel once said that I, the cold flame noble, should be the shield to protect the common people. , but never a sword that stabs civilians!"

I saw Marquis Rose's voice getting louder and louder, and said loudly: "Free farmers in Songluo City, raise the long sword in your hand, let us fight for ourselves, for Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Needless to say, the remarks of Marquis Rose were naturally instructed by Lei Xiao.

Just like Lei Xiao's original plan, only by sacrificing Ariel, who is a member of the royal family and has a high reputation among the people, can he become famous and stabilize a city as quickly as possible.

After all, Lei Xiao clearly understood that the catastrophe could come at any time.

What I need to do is to seize all the time to collect resources and accumulate strength to deal with a greater unknown crisis, instead of putting the main time and energy on this insignificant rule and strategy.

Sure enough, after the Marquis of Rose proved his identity, the free farmers who were forced to go up to the city wall for defense couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then their faces were full of excitement.

Some time ago, Her Royal Highness Princess Ariel disregarded her own safety, and with the assistance of Your Excellency Ke Qing, the news that she repelled the invading Holy Night Army had already spread throughout the city.

Whether it's Her Royal Highness's bravery or Your Excellency's strategy, they have become topics that people talk about after dinner.

And for these free farmers who don't have enough to eat every day, but still have to work **** the land, this has undoubtedly become a rare comfort in their hearts.

After all, they are all the subjects of Lengyan, and there is a Princess Lengyan who is willing to fight to protect them instead of treating them like livestock!

"Kill the minions of these traditional nobles, we will fight for Her Royal Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Ke Qing!"

Accompanied by roars of anger, the free farmers who were forced to climb the city wall rushed towards the traditional noble soldiers around them, and fought with each other, depicting the traditional aristocratic coat of arms of Songluo City. The battle flag was also thrown down the city wall by the angry free farmers.

For a moment, the battle flag broke, the sword collided, and there was chaos on the city wall. Marquis Rose also saw the timing, and easily opened the west gate of Songluo City with his subordinates.

At this point, with the assistance of the free farmers in the city, the Marquis of Rose led the army straight in, and soon took complete control of the entire city, making Songluo City, an important town of traditional aristocrats, officially under Lei Xiao's control.

While the Marquis of Rose took Songluo City easily.

On the other side of the sphere of influence of the traditional aristocrats, close to the mountain fortress, a team that also carried the black lion battle flag of the general of the kingdom has captured the nearest Fort Remaining, and began to march towards the hinterland of the traditional aristocrats.

I saw that the commander at the front of the team was a heroic young female general in a white robe. Flying above the young female general's head, besides the black lion battle flag, was a holy sword and an angel. A battle banner with staggered wings.

Under the dawn, the identity of this female general was already very clear. She was another powerful general under Lei Xiao's command, and she was also one of the generals of Lengyan Eight Kingdoms, General Shengguang Jubai.

After the black mist in Kongqing Town was dispelled, under Lei Xiao's order, Jubai rushed to the Shanbao Fortress with the tokens of all the city lords on his side.

As for the ones led by Jubai, they were naturally the garrison troops stationed at the mountain fortress.

This army has a total of 7,000 people, from Kongqing Town, Mailan Town, Magnet Town, Lan Leng Fort, Songlin City, Fanyin City, and Luolong City, a total of seven cities. After several battles with the Holy Night Army After the battle, it was undoubtedly tempered and became a rather impressive force.

Since Lei Xiao had already made an agreement with Bai Lao who was stationed here in advance, no matter whether it was the soldiers of the Moon Wolf clan who entered the Lengyan Land by way of the previous passage, or the part of the defenders that Jubai took away, they all got Bai Lao's support. Full support.

Along with Jubai, Randall, the head of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps, and three old wizards rushed back.

However, they did not rush back to the mountain fortress, but went directly to Pentium City, the capital of the knights of the traditional aristocratic forces.

There, the 1,000 elite mercenaries of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Regiment had already infiltrated in batches for a long time, and when Randall arrived, they had already opened the city gate.

Under the sudden attack of 1,000 elite mercenaries, the remaining soldiers of the Pentium City Reserve Army were naturally vulnerable. In addition, the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps also carried the banner of Ariel, and quickly won the favor of the local free farmers. support.

All of this was also arranged by Lei Xiao in advance.

In the eastern region of the Cold Flame Kingdom, Pentium City is a traditional aristocratic town second only to Songluo City. After the two fall, other cities will be nothing to fear.

So far, after a series of careful arrangements by Lei Xiao, the powerful men and soldiers under his command have been invincible all the way, not only successfully wiped out the last viable force of the traditional aristocrats, but also caused Songluo City, Pentium City and Fort of Leaving Breath to fall one after another.

As for other traditional aristocratic cities, under the encirclement of these four forces, they have also become frightened birds and caged birds, and it is only a matter of time before they fall.

At the forefront of the traditional aristocratic forces, there is another medium-to-large city, and that is Velen City.

At this time, the gate of Velen City was closed tightly, and the guards on the city wall were densely packed, looking like they were facing a big enemy.

Although Baldwin, the lord of Velen City, was the first batch of traditional nobles who failed to be captured, but before the expedition, Baldwin kept a careful eye and left behind a well-trained garrison brigade to defend the city. .

Coupled with the 3,000 reserve troops in the city, Velen City became the most heavily defended traditional aristocratic city in this area.

"Cheer up and don't relax for a moment!"

On the walls of Velen City, a middle-aged commander with a worried expression was reminding the surrounding garrison soldiers who were distracted.

Judging from his slightly trembling tone, it was obvious that he was already in a state of fear. This person was Velen City's garrison captain Kerr, who was also the only commander left behind.

Kerr is not a nobleman, but a free farmer. Because of his good talent, he eventually became a mercenary.

Later, Kerr, who was good at skills, was favored by Baldwin, so he forcibly brought him under his command and joined the garrison of Velen City.

After receiving a series of unfavorable news, Kerr, who knew that the situation was extremely bad, was very disturbed at this time.

What worries him the most is not the battle situation, but his wife and children in the city lord's mansion.

Since Kerr is not a native of Velen City, but his strength is quite good.

So before Baldwin left, Kerr was left to defend the city. After all, this insignificant captain was just a lowly free farmer, and he was not worthy to compete with others for credit.

However, what made Baldwin feel bad was that Kerr usually didn't treat the free farmers roughly, and he tried to help these lowly guys as much as possible.

So ~lightnovelpub.net~ In order to prevent Kerr from making any changes, Baldwin said on the surface that it was for the safety of his family, but actually put his family under house arrest and handed them over to the guards who stayed behind.

Before leaving, Baldwin also cryptically told Kerr that if the city of Velen is lost, Kerr's wife, children and children will be the first group to be slaughtered.

But now, Baldwin's whereabouts are unknown, and the city of Velen is also in jeopardy.

Kerr clearly understands that once the city of Velen is lost, his family will inevitably be slaughtered by the city lord's guards. After all, those fanatical guards are extremely cruel and only obey the orders of the city lord... Thinking of this, Kerr has already be terribly upset.

Now all he can do is defend the city with all his might, in exchange for the safety of his wife and children.

But judging from the information just sent, his opponents are likely to be Her Royal Highness Princess Ariel and Your Excellency Ke Qing who are only for the Lengyan Kingdom... How can I stand on the opposite side of these big men?

Just when Kerr was restless, a gentle voice came to his ears: "Don't worry, your family is safe now, don't worry anymore."
