Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 112: erosion
"Back off."
The ogre chief on the side wanted to take the opportunity to pursue him, but was forced back by Tal's sword.
Although there was some language barrier between the two, it did not prevent the ogre chief from understanding what Tal meant.
"Orc, Tarr?"
Marquis Wade has completely understood that the ogres' eastward march may be instigated by the Orc Kingdom, and the Northland may be just the beginning,
"James"
"Father"
Marquis Wade’s eldest son and second son are both knight-level masters. The second son, Ta Ke, is slightly weaker and has just stepped into the knight-level.
Both of them served in the Jingbei Army. During this expedition, the eldest son had been killed in the battle in the wilderness. Even the body has not been found yet,
The second son, James, retreated to Fort Hull with the army and has been fighting beside Marquis Wade.
"Go to Earl Hel and bring the news to Lord Thor."
"What about you, father?"
"I can't leave, you go quickly!"
"This..."
At this time, the situation has become very obvious. Judging from the orcs' previous skills, they will only die if they stay. James actually has the consciousness to die in battle.
"This is a military order, don't act like a bitch, follow the order!"
Seeing that James was still hesitating, Marquis Wade directly issued a strong order.
"Yes!"
James gritted his teeth and turned to leave, feeling vaguely unwilling but a little happy,
Hull Fort obviously prepared a secret passage during the construction. Marquis Wade asked him to find Earl of Hull and send the news. Obviously, he still had a selfish intention and wanted James to leave alive.
As for Marquis Wade himself, it is absolutely difficult to escape, regardless of whether the orc warriors on the opposite side will let him go.
Marquis Wade himself is a flag. With him here, the Jingbei Army can still support it. If he dares to turn around and leave, an avalanche will occur immediately.
Tal held the long knife horizontally and did not care about James' departure. He just stared at Marquis Wade, as if waiting for him to arrange his funeral arrangements.
Seeing James leaving, Marquis Wade finally turned his head,
The status of the first-class royal warrior of the Orc Kingdom is actually equivalent to that of the Dragon Knight of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.
At least he is a strong man at the peak of the Great Knight, but judging from Tal's skills just now, it is obvious that Tal's strength is more than the peak of the Great Knight,
Facing Tarr, Marquis Wade has no chance of winning,
"Golden Dragon Kingdom, Marquis of Northland, Wade Lanster."
"锵!"
"Kill!"
Marquis Wade raised his sword high, squeezed his own fighting spirit to the limit, and took the initiative to attack Tal.
……
"Urgent report, urgent report!"
Outside Piaoxue City, a knight galloped towards the city gate along the official road,
Seeing the command flag on the knight's back, the guards at the city gate quickly lifted up the roadblocks on both sides to make way for him.
"Master Lint, urgent report from Fort Hel!"
Lint, who was working on the document in his hand, looked up at Xander who burst into the room with an anxious look on his face.
"Yesterday afternoon, Fort Hull fell, Marquis Wade died in battle, and the main force of the ogres marched eastward toward Piaoxue City. It was confirmed that there were orc warriors taking action on the battlefield."
Sander paused for a moment after entering the door, and then finished telling the information like pouring beans through a bamboo tube, for fear that he would not be able to say it the next moment.
"I know, you go and lead the Sixth Army. For this kind of thing, just send the messenger next time."
"Master Linte, you?"
Lint's performance was so calm that Sander was a little scared. He dropped what he was doing and came here to report the news, just because he was a little worried about Lint's condition.
"I'm fine. Now is not the time to be weak. Father has done his best."
Lint's tone was still calm, and Xander still didn't dare to leave easily.
"Master Linte..."
"Go back. The Sixth Army became an army late and cannot be separated easily. Take good care of the Sixth Army. If Fort Hel is lost, Piaoxue City cannot be lost again."
"Yes, Master"
Sander glanced back worriedly, and finally obeyed the order and left. Maybe Lint needed to be alone now.
Sander's loyalty to Lint is unquestionable. In his early years, Sander offended the powerful in the royal capital and was forced to flee to the North. Only with Lint's help did he settle his family in the North and resume a normal life.
The cultivation of this great knight is also due to the large amount of resources provided by Lin Te.
It is not certain how much loyalty Sander has to the Lanster family, but he is truly loyal to Lint and is willing to repay it with his life.
"Cold-blooded?"
After Sander left, Lint also paused on the chair as if in a daze, and seemed to be talking to himself
"The blood of our Lanster family is cold."
……
Ironwood Castle
Richard is sitting on a stone bench in the garden enjoying his afternoon tea,
Two exquisite desserts and a pot of black tea mixed with honey, two maids stood aside, waiting for his instructions at any time,
Since the Hunter family became prosperous, the living standard in Ironwood Castle has also improved accordingly. Professional cooks and pastry chefs are all available, and it looks more and more like a noble family.
No matter what happens in the North, Richard is in a pretty good mood recently,
A loser like Richard has always felt insecure after coming to another world. In this world where extraordinary power exists, if he is not strong enough, he will suddenly die one day without knowing what happened.
Now after several years of hard work, especially after both myself and my father, Viscount Sauter, have been promoted to Grand Knights,
After adding two more diamond men with the level of a knight, I finally relieved the sense of crisis in my heart,
I and the Hunter family are finally no longer a small boat that can be capsized by wind and waves at any time. At least it has become an iron boat with good ability to withstand wind and waves.
"Master Richard! Yusi has red feathers!"
The soldiers who delivered the message ran and shouted, which shows the urgency of the information.
In Yusidu's intelligence system, Hongyu's letter is the most urgent piece of information. It is delivered directly by Fengniao. The transfer point where the letter is received must not stop for a moment and must be delivered to Richard as soon as possible.
After hearing the words "Hongyu Piece", Richard immediately stopped enjoying himself. He could still tell the difference between what was minor and what was serious.
After borrowing the letter with Hong Yu from the courier, Richard carefully opened the sealed letter and took out the note inside.
"Fort Hull was captured, the Jingbei Army was nearly wiped out, and Marquis Wade died in battle,
A strong orc appeared on the battlefield, suspected to be an earth knight. ”
"Damn, this works too!"
Richard felt quite complicated after reading the intelligence. He really never thought that Fort Hel would fall so quickly.
Hell Fort is no better than some small castles. It is a war fortress with complete defense facilities, and a large number of remnants of the Jingbei Army are stationed there.
In Richard's opinion, even if Fort Hel falls, he can at least hold on for a while. As long as he is given enough time, he will not be afraid of the orc army, let alone the ogres.
The existence of Fort Hull is equivalent to a barrier for Richard and other nobles in the North,
Now that Helburg has fallen, the main force of the ogres has been freed up, and it is no more than a small disturbance caused by some small tribes.
Without the obstruction of the Jingbei Army at Fort Hel, this is now a force powerful enough to sweep across the Northland,
Even if the strength of Richard's men has been greatly improved, it will definitely be difficult to fight against the main force of ogres, let alone the presence of orcs among them.
The sense of security that had just appeared was instantly suppressed by the sense of crisis.
"Summon the officers at the capital level and go to the meeting hall immediately, and then invite the Viscount and Manager Egger."
"Yes, Master."
