Chapter 235: 233: The war is about to start (last month's monthly ticket 1800 plus more)

Frost Moon Canyon,

Ruins of war fortress, temporary command center.

After learning the specific battle situation of Siren Port from the third-level wizard Walter Clark, Luo Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Frostmoon Canyon cannot be lost, and Siren Harbor cannot be lost even more. Both are the lifeblood of the Raymond family.

Otherwise, Count Carl Raymond would not have directly assigned the two Grand Knights of the Order of the Lion to two places respectively.

Seeing that Master Walter stopped talking, Grand Knight Commander Alfonso Zeke could not help but step forward and said, "My Lord Count, do you think we should send more people to Siren Port?"

Luo Yi looked at him and asked, "Does the Flower Territory have any extra knights?"

“There are no more knights, but we should be able to mobilize some militiamen and send them to Siren Port.

At least, it will allow Grand Knight Thor to have more manpower at his disposal."

“But now is the harvest season. If you really do what you said, I’m afraid it will delay the autumn harvest.

If you don't make money, you'll be poorer at best, but if you don't have food to eat, that's a big problem!"

"This one……"

Alfonso wanted to mention 'food reserves', but thinking about Loy's previous policies, he was afraid that most of them had been consumed.

Luo Yi waved his hand and said, "Pirates are troublesome, but in the end they are just minor problems.

Besides, I have some other arrangements, and I will only be able to see if they work in the next few days!"

"If it works, I'd like to know how those pirates would react."

Seeing that Roy was so confident, Vincent Ackerman couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Earl, can you tell me more about it?"

"We'll know when the time comes. There's no point in saying more now!"

After a pause, Luo Yi continued: "Okay, everyone, instead of worrying about things far away, it is better to solve the war that is close at hand."

“It will only be a few days until the truce ends, and the Marquis of Carlisle is eyeing the Wick family covetously.

I will assign specific tasks now!"

"Knight Alfonso!"

"exist!"

“You are the deputy leader of the Lion Knights, and besides me, the most suitable person to lead the troops.

My order to you is to garrison Frostmoon Canyon, and Knight Vincent Ackerman will cooperate with you.

Please note that I am not putting you at the back of the battlefield, but this is probably the most dangerous place."

"As ordered!"

"Master Walter, how are the people you brought with you training? The key to this battle may lie in you..."

"..."

"........."

"Cody Isaac, Jar Turner, Bill Dean and Tanya Anderson, prepare your knights. This battle against the Knights of the Wick family is..."

"........."

……

While Loy was arranging countermeasures, on the other side, in the inconspicuous tent inside the Wick family military camp, Marquis Carlisle was also handling affairs.

The magic mirror was activated again, and a vortex formed in the middle, with letters spewing out of it.

When Marquis Carlisle saw it, he couldn't help but get angry: "Pirate King? Pirate King?!
You can't even take over Siren Harbor, and you still call yourself the 'king'? These pirates are really getting more and more incompetent!"

Mage Timo actually told the truth: "I have dealt with Ms. Palacios several times. She is an extremely powerful fourth-level Scourge Mage who specializes in water and potions.

With the help of the magic energy reserves of the Mage Tower, to be honest, it is normal that those pirates cannot gain any advantage! "

It had been a long time since the Marquis of Carlisle had been directly refuted like this. His face turned red and his fat face looked even more hideous.

But the person in front of him was a fourth-level disaster wizard. He couldn't curse at him, let alone kill him, so he could only grit his teeth.

Seeing this, the Pale Knight quickly spoke up to help: “Actually, this is a good thing. If those pirates really landed on the shore, the damage they caused would now be attributed to the Raymond family.

But when we achieve our goal, it will all be our loss!"

"Now, being able to pin down a Scourge Mage, a Grand Knight Commander, and cut off the Raymond Family's shipping route is also great!"

"That's true, actually!"

The Marquis of Carlisle took advantage of the situation and finally avoided being suffocated to death.

At this moment, a vortex flashed in the magic mirror again, and two letters were spit out in succession.

Marquis Carlisle took it eagerly, opened it, took just a glance, and grinned.

"There's news about the Castro family and the McKinley family. It won't be long, it really won't be long!"

……

Time flies by,

In a blink of an eye, the fifteen days of truce passed.

On this day, the sun was high in the sky, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was blowing gently. It was a good time to enjoy a sunbath. But to the east of Frost Moon Canyon, on the open plain, flags were fluttering and murderous intent was everywhere.

The sound of horse hooves is like thunder, the swords are drawn with a cold light, and the sound of drums shakes the earth and makes people's blood boil.

Both sides of the war began to deploy their troops on this plain.

Luo Yi stood at the front. On both sides of him, four extraordinary knights each led eighty formal knights and about two hundred knight followers, forming a charging formation.

The first row was full of Dragon Lancers, with their lances raised high and pointed straight ahead. The flashing cold light showed their sharp power.

The second row all used knight broadswords, with the blades split in half and the lower half able to be held directly in the hands.

This is a kind of cross sword technique that is unique to the Raymond family and popularized by the family. It needs to be used in conjunction with this special knight's sword to exert its full power.

As for the second row, there are all kinds of weapons!
Knight sword skills are standard skills that almost every knight can learn.

However, not everyone likes to use swords, especially some knights who are naturally strong. Instead, they prefer heavy weapons such as battle axes, hammers, and maces.

After charging, in close combat, the armor-piercing effect of these weapons is much better than that of the knight's greatsword.

After all, the shock of a hammer blow alone is not something that ordinary people can withstand.

Behind the knight camp is the militia.

Two thousand militiamen formed a square formation, with several-meter-long spears held horizontally or diagonally upward, until the entire formation looked like a hedgehog.

This is the best way to defend against cavalry charges. If the quality of the soldiers is good enough and they are determined to fight to the death, even the Knights will be defeated and suffer heavy losses!

This is recorded in historical records, but unfortunately, most of the spear phalanxes only looked okay. Facing the knights' charge head-on, they would die, so they ran away faster than anyone else!

Of course, there are not only spearmen in this phalanx, but also shield and sword warriors behind them.

Not a professional, literally holding a shield in one hand for defense and a dagger in the other for stabbing.

If the distance is really shortened and both sides are squeezed together, these short weapons will come into play.

Through the gaps, countless holes can be poked in people or horses.

Further to the middle, there is another group of archers.

They all used longbows, longbows that were taller than a person. Its scientific name is Sardinian longbow, which originated from the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Every time it is used, one has to use the whole body to draw the bow and arrow. Its characteristics are that it is good at projectiles, has a long range, and great lethality!
In those years, the Kingdom of Sardinia, relying on the 6,000 archers it had gathered, wiped out a knighthood of the Bonaparte Empire, and other countries began to emulate it!

This team was considered a guarantee, as they blocked the entrance to the mountain road.

If Loyi was defeated, they would have to push to the front to buy time for the Knights to reorganize their team.

If Luoyi wins, they will move forward step by step, constantly pressing forward, clearing the battlefield, killing or capturing the remaining enemies.

These are not Loy's abilities, but suggestions from Grand Knight Alfonso!

Normally, this is how they fight wars, using the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years.

Anyway, the war is different from the one in Luo Yi's mind.

The Wick family on the opposite side actually also adopted a similar formation.

However, in Luo Yi's opinion, their militia was poorly trained. They gathered together in a mess, with their spears tilted all over the place, and had little deterrent power.

They had quite a lot of knights, and five of them were extraordinary. Unfortunately, one of them had a broken arm and another had a weak breath.

As for Earl Wick in the front, there is no need to mention him. Compared with the heroic Roy, he is just a fat old man!

Before the war, the two sides had a face-to-face exchange.

Loy rode forward, and so did Earl Wick. After the two sides got close, they started to talk nonsense as usual.

Brag about your own strength and despise the opponent's weakness.

It’s a pity that Luo Yi didn’t bother to waste his time talking.

Although Earl Wick was merciless in his words, his silent lip movements were all begging for mercy, hoping that Roy would kill fewer people.

After the verbal battle, they each returned to their respective camps and prepared for a big battle.

In fact, there is nothing fancy and no strategy involved. When the horn sounds and the sad wailing sound resounds through the world, the war begins directly.

The Wick family still has some powerful figures. An extraordinary knight burst out with fiery red fighting spirit, driving a magical beast similar to an elk under his seat to spread the knight's halo.

His strength alone is certainly not enough, but he can cooperate with the other four extraordinary knights.

Until the colorful knight halo enveloped the entire knight order, which was when the Wick Knights were at their peak of strength!
It’s a pity that, in comparison, Luo Yi’s side is much more ferocious.

Although the four extraordinary fighting spirits each had their own characteristics, when Luo Yi's golden-red fighting spirit exploded, it covered them all.

Luo Yi is not a knight, nor can he use the knight's halo. However, with the power of the [Lion King] stimulated, he borrowed the knight's halo of four people and achieved the same effect.

Then, Luo Yi wiped out all his cowardice and fear, leaving only infinite courage rising in his heart.
Until finally, he drew out his Dawn Sword and held it upright in front of him!

"Lion Knights, follow me and charge!!!"

The sound was not too loud, but it resounded in the hearts of every Knight Order member.

Then everyone made the same move, driving their horses, raising their weapons, and roaring.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At this point, the war is about to break out!
