Blue Dragon Emperor: Lord of Thunder

Chapter 162 Attacking the Royal Capital
"The artillery formation! What are the artillery formations doing! Fucking fire for me!"

"Reserves! Replenish the right wing defense!"

"Why the hell hasn't the herald come back yet!?"

The sharp whistling sound from the direction of the enemy resounded over the battlefield, causing the soldiers of Black Rock City to look up at the sky involuntarily.

A fireball emitting a dazzling light streaked across the sky, and landed precisely in the position on the side of Black Rock City.

Above the position, a transparent shield covering a wide area blocked the fireball for a moment, and the fireball with manic elemental energy was immediately detonated in advance. The brilliance and loud noise of the explosion made people's eyes go blank, and the sharp bees echoed in their ears. Ming.

Kelway, who was blown three or four meters away by the explosion, supported his body on his knees and elbows and slowly climbed up. He leaned on the ruins beside him, panting with his back arched, and slapped his bloody head vigorously with one hand.

The tightly closed eyes opened slightly, and the red eyes stimulated by the strong light could not stop secreting tears, the pupils of the eyeballs gradually focused under the washing of the lacrimal gland secretions, but there was still a hazy haze in Kerway's vision. white light.

Kerway stretched out his hand to touch the left ear, only to feel a piece of blurred flesh and blood. At this time, the originally handsome face lost all flesh and flesh from the back of the head to the root of the left ear, and was scarlet.

But Kerway couldn't feel the pain at all, and the adrenaline secreted in a large amount stimulated his brain, making him burst out with unprecedented strength.

Pulling out the saber at his waist, he forcibly split the head of a soldier of the Principality of Heaton in half. Kerway shouted in a hoarse voice: "Fuck me!!!"

The Second Army of Blackstone City, which was in full swing all the way, finally encountered a powerful army after breaking through several viscounts and two counties and penetrating deep into the territory of the Principality of Heaton.

This army called the White Lion Legion belongs to a real power fief Marquis. It has [-] soldiers, all of whom are in armor. It is one of the main armies of the Principality of Heaton.

Even if the world has huge reserves of metal minerals, it would be a very scary thing for 6 people to wear armor, especially for a principality.

Among the several princely kingdoms in the central part of Ionia, the combat power of the White Lion Army can definitely be ranked No. 13 or [-].

When a large piece of bright silver armor with a neat military appearance appeared in the sight of the Second Army of Black Rock City, all the officers, including Kerway, knew that this was a tough battle, but they still rushed up without hesitation, trying to get rid of this hard bone. Nibble down.

If they can destroy the establishment of the White Lion Army, it will be a heavy blow to the morale of the Principality of Heaton, and the military strength that the Principality of Heaton can exert will drop by at least three points.

With a force of less than [-] to meet the elite troops twice as large as their own, the legion commander and several corps commanders have taken great risks. Even with a big killer like artillery, even if it is a sudden ambush, even if the kobolds command The officer maximized his ability to command and dispatch on the battlefield, and the Second Army of Black Rock City still fell into a fierce and bitter battle.

After several rounds of shelling, the White Lion Army not only did not break up, but broke into pieces and launched a charge. They rushed through the attack range of the heavy artillery and the fire coverage of the mortar with their flesh and blood, and the two sides immediately fell into a bloody battle. In hand-to-hand combat.

The Second Army of Black Rock City was ordered to practice new weapons such as artillery and mortars, but their melee skills did not fall behind.

Soldiers in Black Rock City have to practice once a day, and the training time and intensity far exceed those of other forces. You must know that even elites like the White Lions only practice once every three days, and in many cases, they can only practice every five days. It is common for the army to train once every ten days.

Most of the soldiers recruited by the Second Legion of Black Rock City were adventurers and mercenaries, and they had no lack of combat experience. After two and a half years of systematic military training, they were on par with the White Lions in hand-to-hand combat.

"die!"

Kerway's sword had already broken during the slashing. At this time, he swung the two-handed sword picked up from the ground and smashed the enemy's helmet into a deep pit. Red and white blood and brains flowed down the gap of the helmet. Dye the silver armor mottled and bloody.

The effects of the hormones had long since passed, and it was the horrific scars on his body that kept Kerway awake in such a state of blood loss and exhaustion. The constant pain from the wound reminded Kerway that he was still alive.

The two-handed sword is placed on the waist, and the sword body is fixed in one hand as a fulcrum, and the other hand uses the strength of the waist to drive the sword to rotate and slash, forcing the approaching enemies to retreat.

Kerway looked around, and there were more and more enemies around him, while the friendly troops fell one by one in the siege, and they still suffered from the disadvantage of numbers.

By this time of the battle, the casualty rate of the corps led by Kerway had exceeded [-]%. He could clearly feel the rapid decline in morale, and his corps might be defeated at any time.

The next second, the first deserter appeared, he dropped his weapon, turned around and ran away.

The experienced White Lions did not kill him, but let him run towards the periphery of the battlefield.

As if a domino was triggered, all the Black Rock City soldiers who saw their friendly troops flee lost their fighting spirit in an instant. This panic was passed among the Black Rock City soldiers like a wave, and the escape of one person quickly turned into a whole army. the rout.

Kerway saw it, but he could only sigh. In fact, it was inconceivable that only [-]% of the casualties fled.

Just when Kerway decided to pull a few more backs, the shouts of killing finally sounded from behind the White Lions.

Kerway's eyes lit up, he stabbed his sword into the waist of the enemy, kicked it away, pulled out the sword, and shouted loudly: "Reinforcement has arrived! Reinforcement has arrived!"

The movement behind the White Lions attracted everyone's attention, and Kerway took the opportunity to chop off the two of them and continued to shout.

The soldiers around Kewell also came to their senses and shouted one after another, making the fleeing soldiers stop.

The soldiers of the White Lion Legion wanted to return for reinforcements, but Kerway yelled, "The enemy is defeated!"

"The enemy is defeated! The enemy is defeated!"

Amidst the cheers of the Black Rock City soldiers, the two sides instantly changed their offensive and defensive positions. The morale of the Black Rock City side was high, but the White Lion Army, which suffered a lot of losses, went from returning to support to being defeated.

The noble officers in the White Lion Army were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood when they heard Kerway's loud shouts. They had never seen such a shameless and shameless trick, and they couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while. Defeat, who would believe this at a time like this?

But elites are elites, and the chaotic White Lions forcefully stopped their rout, reorganized and charged again.

But this time, what they were facing was no longer the human soldiers of the Second Legion of Black Rock City, but a monster army composed of kobolds, tauren, jackals, bears, and tigers.

The sunlight above the head suddenly disappeared, and five white dragons streaked across the battlefield, breathing their dragon's breath together and flying over the white lion army to divide the battlefield.

A huge red-haired tauren rushed into the center of the White Lion Army against all kinds of magical attacks, slashing wildly with an axe regardless of the sword that was coming towards him.

The terrifying force caused the weapons trying to resist the giant ax to drop or break. A moment later, Sauta, with blood-red eyes, mentioned a corpse that had been crushed to the point of being indistinguishable. Only the luxurious armor and cloak on the other side could prove his authenticity. identity.

The gigantic bull-headed monster let out a deafening roar: "The descendant will not die!"

Seeing the reinforcements gaining the upper hand from a distance, a smile appeared on Kerway's terrifying face, and then the sky turned dark in his mind, and he passed out on the spot.

There was no suspense in the ensuing battle. The morale of the dead White Lion Corps plummeted, and they were completely at a disadvantage in the battle.

Many soldiers of the White Lion Legion put down their weapons, but were cut down to the ground by the red-eyed soldiers of the Second Legion of Black Rock City.

This made the remaining soldiers of the White Lion Legion give up the idea of ​​surrendering, and either died in a fierce battle or fled in all directions.

……

When Kerway woke up, it was already the fourth day after the battle with the White Lions.

Extreme weakness and hunger made Kerway struggle to open his eyes.

He was lying on a cart, being pushed forward by his husband, and there were many such carts beside him, which were full of wounded people covered with bandages, but the treatment of others was not as good as him. A cart can squeeze several.

Kerway saw the adjutant whose head was wrapped in a bandage beside the cart, and asked weakly and hoarsely, "Where are we now?"

The adjutant looked back at Coleway in surprise.

"Captain, you are finally awake!"

After quickly feeding Kerway some water and porridge, the adjutant answered Kerway's previous question.

"The lord ordered to speed up the offensive, and Lord Scar is also here?"

Kerway wanted to smile, but the wound on his face caused a sharp pain.

In the battle between the Second Legion and the White Lions, although they suffered heavy losses, they directly wiped out the entire White Lions. The news spread to Duke Heaton's capital and immediately caused an uproar.

The delisting of the White Lions was a heavy blow to the Principality of Heaton, not much different from breaking the backbone of the Principality of Heaton.

According to the reaction within the Principality of Heaton, Scar directly ordered the entire army to move immediately to the capital of the Principality of Heaton. It wanted to take the capital of the Principality of Heaton before the nobles of the Principality of Heaton had time to respond!

Although the Second Legion has a large number of members, their greatest role is to manipulate the artillery. In terms of long-range firepower strikes, the combat effectiveness of the Second Army has not dropped much, and the iron bumps on the artillery are not damaged.

The most powerful military force in the northern part of the Principality of Heaton is the White Lion Legion. After defeating the White Lion Legion, the entire north of the Principality of Heaton was like a flat river, and Scar directly led the army straight in.

It took another three days, and Scar, who was marching at full speed, had already approached the capital of Duke Heaton. At this moment, the defensive strength of King Heaton's capital was just as Scar expected, but the five regiments were still not full. Add up to less than [-].

Grand Duke Heaton urgently convened an aristocratic meeting and asked all the nobles to take out their retainers, bodyguards and private troops to guard the capital together. The panic-stricken nobles seldom agreed. That afternoon, the nobles’ private armed forces all boarded the walls of the capital.

The armies of King Qin from all walks of life are rushing forward. As long as they can hold for two days, the nearest army can arrive, and in turn encircle the army of Black Rock City.

The nobles in the city of Heaton prepared a lot of defense equipment, but their enemies did not rush to attack the city before their reinforcements arrived as they thought, but instead dug a pit a few kilometers away.

The city of Heaton, like the capital of Boren, is located on the most fertile plain in the country. The terrain here is flat, and it is difficult for the artillery of the Second Legion to pass through the towering city walls.

As the supreme military commander appointed by Long En, Scar also knew the principles of artillery well, and had already thought of a solution when he was marching.

It ordered the soldiers to dig the soil from the surroundings and build them together. There were kobolds, tauren and other monsters, and the speed of digging was very fast. In one night, a nearly 20-meter-high tower was built out of thin air a few miles away from the city wall. Dirt slope.

Grand Duke Heaton and a group of nobles watched in bewilderment as the monsters in Black Rock City dug holes and piled up the soil, completely unable to figure out what they wanted to do.

Until a frame of artillery was pushed up the slope.

"It's the kind of weapon that's as powerful as an intermediate spell!"

The nobles who had previously fought against the Second Army of Black Rock City and fled to the capital opened their eyes wide and exclaimed, and all the nobles also looked sideways.

According to the nobles who fled to the capital, this weapon of the people of Black Rock City has terrifying power. It can release hundreds of spell attacks above the middle level at the same time, and it does not need to be cooled for a long time like the magic crystal cannon, so that the remaining Elemental energy dissipates.

The nobles in the capital were skeptical about this. They couldn't believe that there was such a weapon in the world, and thought that those nobles who had fought against the people of Black Rock City were all scared out of their wits.

Soon they realized their mistake.

"Load the ammo!"

The soldiers of the Second Legion, whose bandages had not been removed, skillfully reloaded the ammunition.

"fire!"

Like thunder exploding nearby, the nobles of the Principality of Heaton only heard a "boom", and even the ground trembled.

Hundreds of huge iron balls fell from the sky with the sound of piercing through the sky, roaring and falling into the capital of King Heaton.

The iron ball that fell into the residential area easily pierced several large holes in the buildings in the city, and the civilians who were unfortunately hit by the iron ball were instantly torn apart and turned into pieces of meat.

Seeing the damage caused by hundreds of iron balls, the nobles on the city wall all swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at each other, and without the Grand Duke's order, they rushed under the city wall regardless of the nobles' face.

Just as the nobles descended from the city wall, thunder rang out again, and the iron balls from the second salvo fell into the city. The civilians suffered heavy casualties for a while, crying, cursing, and praying everywhere.

Scar stood on a high soil slope, looking at the capital of Heaton in the distance, with a calm expression, no impatience, no excitement, like a pure war machine.

Scar waved his hand indifferently, and the artillery officer on the side immediately continued: "Load the ammunition, prepare for the third round!"
