Blood Dragon

38 knots escape

There were no other Paro soldiers around.

This is normal. When the Paro soldier shouted "There is only one left", it is estimated that the Paro troops outside have all retreated.Only the last squadron, which was not full, charged in and used it to kill Ashrufat who survived the poisonous smoke.

But this cannon ready to fire is not normal.Why did the Paro people pull a cannon at the gate here?Could it be that they had expected Ashurfat to rush out?

There was no time for him to think about it.In this state, the cannon is not filled with solid shells, but scattered shells!Immediately, countless fist-sized metal blocks will rush out of the muzzle, destroying everything in front of them.Ashuruffat may survive a few bullets, but he has no chance against the overwhelming bullets that can tear everything apart.

Even if it is strengthened with magic, there is no point in accelerating the charge.In fact, no matter what he did, he couldn't escape the shooting range of the shotgun.In front of the black muzzle, Ashuruffat instantly realized that he was doomed.

Because there was too little hope of salvation, his body relaxed instead, and he just silently looked at the cannon that was about to kill him.Had a poet seen this scene, he would have described it as "the breath of death welling up in his countenance."

The moment before death becomes extraordinarily long.Bit by bit of the past flashed in his mind, from the moment he regained consciousness in that weird sink, all the things he had experienced went back once.

"The danger rate is as high as 90.00% eight," a pleasant female voice came out of his mind, it was not Carrie's voice. "Unlock the emergency plan... Turn on the high-speed calculation mode... Conclusion: Forced summoning of the energy field armor..."

The terrible roar of the cannon sounded, and countless fist-sized metal blocks were shot out from the muzzle of the gun under the push of gunpowder.Perhaps the range of shotgun shells is not as far as that of solid shells, but within range, they can create a real death zone, destroying everything in front of them.No matter what kind of armor and shield, as long as it is the protection carried by the flesh and blood, it is impossible to form an obstacle in front of the cannon.At least in theory.

The smoke from the shotgun cleared.One gunner rubbed his eyes, hardly believing what he saw.Even the city wall was bombarded with potholes, but the figure still stood in front of the cannon.

No, it should be said that something has changed.The knight's body was no longer the usual white armor. He was wearing a blood-red armor. Some kind of black energy recognizable to the naked eye wrapped around the armor, making it appear mysterious and evil. .

I... survived?Maybe it was because he didn't expect to survive, so Ashuruffat didn't act immediately because he was too surprised.

"Master, the emergency procedure forcibly summoned your red blood armor." In her mind, Carrie explained. "The force field shield attached to the armor helps you neutralize the attack, but currently you can only use the shield for three seconds per day. But according to my calculations, you now have enough power to change the armor pattern. I suggest you put the armor's Change your appearance!"

The blood red armor quickly changed color.If you observe closely, you will even find that it's not just as simple as changing color, but even the shape has changed in some places.The blood-red weird armor turned into an ordinary white armor.If it weren't for the previous armor scattered on the ground, maybe Ashuruffat himself would have suspected it was an illusion.

"And your coat of arms!"

Accompanied by Carrie's voice, a red dragon appeared in the middle of the breastplate, as if it had always been there.

Ashuruffat rushed towards the three gunners, who were so surprised that they forgot to run away for a moment.When Ashurfat rushed in front of him, it was too late to escape.

In the winch room, the cries of terror and the sounds of fighting continued.The living and the dead are still fighting fiercely. There are only about thirty Paro soldiers, but there are at least two or three times as many dead people.What's more, the matter started in a hurry. For a while, the Paro soldiers fought on their own, and none of them could rush out.

After killing those gunners, Ashuruffat immediately discovered the reason why the winch couldn't be pushed.In a protruding place in the middle of the city wall, a man without armor was standing there, facing the city wall, struggling to push a stick into a hole.That hole should be the hole for oiling and maintaining the iron chain.

Because of the angle, his back was facing Ashuruffat.So have no idea what's going on.If he knew, he should have dropped the stick and fled immediately, because the height of the protruding position he was in was only as high as a person, and his leg could be easily chopped off with a long sword.

Ashuruffat did so without hesitation.

The man didn't realize what had happened until his feet and body were separated.He grabbed the stick, screamed and fell, hit his head on a rock, and stopped moving for an instant.

In the winch room, those knights who remained faithful after death were pushing the winch.With the sound of metal rubbing, the gate of Wolf's Mouth Castle was slowly raised.

Outside the city, Leo had already seen this scene. "The knights charge! Charge into the city!"

It only takes 3 minutes for the cavalry to rush into the city gate from outside the firing range of the cannon. As long as the city gate can be kept open for 3 minutes, the reinforcements will arrive immediately, and then you can...

"Cut off the sling!" Ashuruffat heard someone shouting. "Use a big axe!"

"Master, you must retreat immediately!" Carrie reminded.But now the reminder is unnecessary, because a large group of Paro soldiers are surrounded from all sides.Ashuruffat had no other choice at all, and when the Paro people gathered together, it would be too late.

The knights galloping towards the city gate only ran halfway, the city gate that was hung up shook for a while, and then fell straight down like this.

Seeing this scene, including Leo, the hearts of all the soldiers of the coalition army went cold.There is no doubt that the Paro people jumped over the wall in a hurry and cut off the iron chain that raised the city gate.Now they lost the ability to control the city gate for a while, but on the other hand, the raid of the coalition forces also ended in complete failure.It's over for Ashurfat and his knights!

A figure riding a horse rushed out the moment before the city gate fell!

"It's Ashurfat!" Leo immediately recognized the man who evacuated from the city gate in time.It is indeed him!Behind him, the iron gate had fallen and hit the ground with a dull sound.None of the other knights escaped in time.

Ashuruffat ran forward for a while, but the horse fell down.The belly of this unlucky horse was cut open by a sharp knife, and all internal organs were dragged on the ground. Honestly speaking, it is a miracle that it survived to this extent.A knight ran to Ashrufat, who jumped on his back, and the two of them rushed back to the main formation on a horse.The Paro people shot at them sporadically, but they missed.

The drums urging the soldiers to attack died down, and the allied forces began to retreat, leaving corpses and wounded all over the ground.

Ashurfat and Leo stood together again, and the faces of both sides were extremely ugly.

Today the coalition suffered great losses, especially the [-] knights led by Aishuruffat, almost all of them were killed in the city.

At dusk that day, the allied forces set up camp a short distance from Wolf's Mouth Castle.Because the take-off and landing chains at the gate of Langkou Castle were damaged, there was no need to worry about the enemy sneaking out of the city, and the camp layout was relatively simple.

"The result is out." In the command tent, Leo brought a document. "Ashrufat, today we lost nearly 2000 people. More than 600 knights and more than 300 militiamen."

Although this loss will not hurt the muscles and bones, it has obviously lowered morale.More importantly, the casualties paid by the Paro people in today's combat are very small.Due to the rudimentary siege equipment, the coalition forces did not attack the city wall from the beginning to the end, but they suffered heavy losses under muskets and crossbows.

They ate hard food, lentil soup, and a little meat that was easily overlooked, while discussing the situation of the war.

Leo told what happened today.

"That captain must be haunted. I turned around to look for him, but I found that he had run away. I don't know how many bandits and rogues pretended to be knights and sneaked into our army!"

"But we didn't find anything wrong before... Casillas knights are very powerful, and they are completely worthy of their reputation." Ashuruffat replied.

"Those bandits and rascals who sneaked in would naturally fight bravely in order to pretend to be knights, otherwise wouldn't they be exposed directly?" Leo replied. "They also expect to obtain the fiefdom from Princess Irina after the war and become real knights."

"The knights... didn't they already have fiefs?" Ashuruffat asked with some doubts.

"Many knights' territories have been ravaged by the Paro people. Of course, a knight who has made military exploits cannot just get a piece of barren territory in return, so they will all be transferred, which is a common practice. Therefore, this is for This is a great opportunity for the counterfeiters. In fact, in history, once the war broke out, there were many such things. It would be fine if the apprentice knight pretended to be a knight. Some mercenaries with low backgrounds, or even militiamen can get fiefdoms by this opportunity , becoming real knights... But we really can't care about this right now, as long as they can fight as bravely as ordinary knights, we can only turn a blind eye and close one eye. In order not to be exposed, counterfeit people usually behave like They are braver than ordinary knights. Don't mention this, we should think about tomorrow's battle... Judging from the performance of the Paro people today, they are not easy to deal with."

"Indeed." Judging from what they saw when they entered the city today, the Paro people were basically ready to resist one after another.Moreover, if the city gate is broken, it is also a troublesome thing. Large troops cannot rush in, especially the dense cavalry array that the knights are proud of is completely useless and can only fight on foot.

"Our combat strength is a bit insufficient." Leo sighed. "There are [-] troops in name, but most of them are unreliable militias... By the way, Ashurfat, I got something good today."

While talking, Leo took out a wine bottle from behind.It was an old bottle containing some kind of liquid.

"Cassilos' famous golden wine, cellared for 120 years... is definitely a treasure among treasures! Come and taste it!"

He didn't know where to conjure two wine glasses and put them on the table.Then open the bottle and carefully pour the liquid into it.

While Leo was slowly pouring the wine, Luke opened a document to the bonfire a short distance away from the coalition camp.
