Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 239: Facing the Wings of Deceit: Alyria
There is no doubt that this new rare weapon [Beast Slayer] can greatly enhance Hildur's combat effectiveness. If Hildur encounters the River Troll Witch again, the battle with her will definitely not be so difficult.

This powerful rune sword can even interrupt siphon magic, truly demonstrating what a knight and a spellcaster's combat power is half from their equipment.

More importantly, with this rare equipment, the tactics that Hildurd mentioned becomes feasible!

Through the decapitation tactic, the entire army attacking the city from one direction of the monsters collapsed.

Su Li turned to look at Hirud and asked, "Which God-chosen monster do you plan to behead?"

Hildurde immediately replied calmly, "I've thought about this carefully for a long time. The green dragon is ruled out first. It's too cunning and very cautious. It always hides in a safe place and will retreat at the slightest danger. Therefore, it's basically impossible to use a decapitation tactic on it."

Su Li nodded slightly. As a flying monster, the green dragon still had a great strategic advantage. If it really displayed its cunning style, constantly pulling, and then using dragon language magic, it might not be Hildurd who beheaded it, but it would be Hildurd who used a decapitation tactic against Hildurd.

"Then we have to eliminate the Chaos Monster Chimaera Skaros. It's also a flying monster, and very cunning. It might even flee before a fight, seeing me approaching with a sword. Furthermore, its legions have been completely destroyed, and its influence within the Green Dragon Legion is now minimal. Killing it will have almost no impact on the Green Dragon Legion's strategic layout. On the contrary, it may reduce the challenges faced by the Green Dragons and strengthen Green Dragon Alyria's rule."

Then the only ones left are the dryad Galregon and the elemental giant bear Ostanka.

According to Su Li's intelligence, the deaths and injuries of these two monsters can be said to have a direct impact on the survival or collapse of the Green Dragon Legion.

If the elemental giant bear Ostanka was slain by Hirud, it might not wait until tomorrow. Tonight, Galeragon would command his army of dryads to swarm the Throne of Thorns, bind the green dragon, and torture it madly. The Chaos Monster Skaros would surely be happy to lend a hand to Galeragon. This chimera had always longed to whip and torture this sexy little green dragon.

If Galeregon was killed, the dryad army would likely collapse within a few days, especially during a long march, the dryads would quickly fall behind and disappear into the forest.

Hildurd thought carefully for a moment and said, "I've decided to continue to kill Galeragon. First, it's a treeman with very low mobility, so the probability of killing it is the highest. Secondly, if it is in danger, the green dragon will not do its best to rescue it. It may even watch the fun from the sidelines, hoping that Galeragon will suffer greatly. When the time comes and it is a matter of life and death, the green dragon may not be able to rescue it in time. But if Ostanka is in danger, the green dragon will definitely do its best to rescue him."

After hearing what Hildurd said, Su Li made up his mind instantly and said, "Then let's go with Galregon! At least we still have a chance of success. If you go to kill Ostanka, it will be too dangerous. Without Marshal Orstein, none of us can stop the flying monster Green Dragon. If it attacks you together with Ostanka, you might even be killed."

Upon hearing this, Hildreth strengthened his resolve and said, "Then I will lead the Hessen Royal Guards to attack Galeregon in the south of the city. We must strive to slay it here."

The Hessian Guard Knights, as Su Li's elite personal guards, were the only knightly order that did not follow Marshal Orstein into the attack. They had outstanding combat effectiveness and were well-equipped. Although they had lost 21 men, there were still 82 men left.

It can be said that they are the most powerful military force in the territory at present, and there are still 3 champion-level knights and 13 people with vibranium rune armor, many of which are newly made.

After all, in the battle between Hildurde and the river troll witch and the river troll war gang, a large amount of vibranium was really seized, especially the vibranium club of the river troll boss, which was enough to build two sets of human armor.

Su Li could only hope that the knight group he had built with great investment could assist Hildurd in breaking through the monster's defenses in one fell swoop and killing Galeregon.

If the dryad army collapsed, humans would still have one last hope of defeating the green dragon, but of course this hope was very slim.

Even if humans win a complete victory in the end, it will still be extremely dangerous for the remaining human army, which has suffered heavy casualties, to fight their way into the dangerous forest.

That is the green dragon's lair, with natural home ground and defensive facilities.

It can be compared to a human civil war, where the remnant human army not only has to push back the enemy, but also has to capture the opponent's heavily guarded castle.

The only hope for this result is that the morale of the opposing defenders will completely collapse, and they will abandon the city and flee when they see the attacking army.

However, the morale of the Green Dragon's minions would probably not be so low. After all, they had plenty of advantages in their home turf of the forest. And most seriously, there was a high probability that a large number of new legions would appear to help the Green Dragon resist the intruders.

Normally in the forest, they might be scheming against each other and disobey the green dragon, but when faced with outsiders entering the forest, they all share a common hatred.

Thinking about this, Su Li couldn't help but smile. He was too optimistic. He hadn't even defended the city yet, but he was already thinking about how to get into the forest?

It is still unknown whether we can win the decisive battle tonight!

If the battle fails, his castle might be fine, but most of Hesse Town will be destroyed!
Fortunately, the anxious wait did not last long, and the monster army came forward with great force.

As soon as the Witch Moon rose, huge flying monsters flew over from the distant sky. Below them was a dense army of monsters that covered the mountains and plains!

This was the first time that the main force of monsters gathered and appeared under the city of Heisen.

The shrill blast of the horn pierced the heart, and chaos ensued on the city walls. A large number of the defenders, who were resting, quickly returned to the defense line, many still wearing bandages and untreated wounds. Except for the seriously wounded and collapsed soldiers who could not join the front line, everyone else had already returned to the front line.

As the brutal war continues to this day, the territory's medical system has long been overwhelmed.

With only dozens of medical knights and more than a hundred medical staff in the Hesse Territory, they were simply unable to treat the hundreds or thousands of tragic casualties every day.

The territory's medicines had been used up long ago, and now the medical staff could only use straw to hastily bandage the soldiers' wounds, but the gauze was almost used up recently.

Many times, faced with hundreds of retreating wounded soldiers, medical staff could only move them to the city square and watch them fend for themselves. Their fate could only be left to Shaurya. The amount of grace bestowed by the goddess of healing and mercy through the statue determined how many of the wounded soldiers in the square, who were gazed at by the statue of Shaurya, could survive.

This is truly leaving everything to fate!

However, as the decisive battle broke out, these soldiers who had resigned themselves to their fate had no choice but to hold on to their broken swords and struggle to get up.

They must fight to the death, not only for glory, but also for their homes, their parents, wives and daughters.

Because everyone knew that if the war did not go well, the nobles could retreat to the castle and wait for the green dragon to plunder and then retreat to the forest, but their relatives who stayed in Hessen Town would surely die!
Of course, every crisis contains opportunities. The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

In order to escape into the castle and save their lives, many wealthy businessmen and landowners paid Su Li high bribes, and Su Li earned more than 4700 gold crowns from them.

The presence of countless people in the territory made the atmosphere of the decisive battle particularly tragic and solemn.

Everyone is looking forward to the war ending as soon as possible and having a final chapter.

In this tension and anticipation, the monsters quickly approached the city like a dark cloud.

It was also the first time that Su Li saw the most terrifying, dangerous enemy and the source of his greatest nightmare and pressure since he entered the Border Prince's Territory - the green dragon, Deceitful Wings, Alyria.

And it was worthy of the attention and various titles Su Li bestowed upon it. The name itself contained endless terror and mystery. When it appeared in the defenders' field of vision, the sense of oppression was like a towering mountain, almost suffocating.

Its body was immense, over forty meters long, like a moving hill. Scales covered its entire body, each one as hard as steel and gleaming with a faint green light, like the armor of a demon from the abyss. These scales were not only hard but also emitted an eerie chill that sent shivers down its spine.

The green dragon's head is huge and ferocious, its eyes are like two burning golden gems, flashing with cunning and cruelty, its mouth is wide and sharp, and its mouth is full of sharp teeth like the fangs of an anaconda, each one enough to tear through the hardest armor.

As a green dragon, its body is not as strong and violent as that of a red dragon, but the jagged bones on its wings are extremely sharp, like sharp blades, and its flexible tail is covered with bony spikes, which can be said to perfectly fit the green dragon's insidious and cunning temperament. If you are not careful, you may be injured by the spikes on its limbs, wings and tail.

The green dragon also immediately discovered Su Li, who was standing on the castle and looking into the distance, surrounded by a large number of knights.

The reason why Alyria chose to attack the castle personally was to vent her anger on this despicable thief!

As it approached, it roared angrily: "You despicable insect, dirty thief, you will pay the price for your shameless theft today! Every human must pay the price for your actions!" The green dragon's roar rumbled in the air like thunder, echoing above the silent city. The majestic voice scared some timid people so much that their legs went weak, but it also caused a commotion in the city.

"What? The invasion of the green dragon was caused by the Lord?"

"Damn it! Such despicable acts of stealing, no wonder they caused a dragon invasion. Are all the deaths we've suffered the price for the nobles' despicable actions?"

"Nobles are indeed vampires who are good at disguising themselves! They usually pretend to be righteous, but who knows, they are actually thieves and prostitutes behind the scenes."

"What should I do? My faith is about to collapse. Could it be that even a virtuous lord like you is actually a filthy, ugly, and despicable monster?"

...Bursts of noise erupted from all corners of the city, almost visible to the naked eye. The defensive positions began to weaken. The army, once soaring with morale, also began to waver.

It can be vividly said that the green dragon's roar, coupled with its dragon power, had a powerful effect of at least reducing human morale by -8!
However, Su Li did not have any regrets. Without the treasure-stealing team's action, the territory would not have been able to cultivate Hildurde to the God-chosen level so quickly, and the territory might not even have been able to survive the last God-chosen level crisis.

Without the bravery of the two chosen ones, Hilde and Orstein, Skarros would have flattened the territory with more than 10,000 monsters in the first wave of attack by the green dragon.

Su Li could still tell which was more important, a life-and-death crisis or a morale crisis.

He now has the confidence to stand here and safely confront the green dragon, which is the benefit of his decisive action.

So, far from feeling guilty, he confidently shouted at the green dragon, "Don't be so hypocritical! Whether I send people to your lair to take the treasure or not, you will destroy the human pioneering path in the foothills of the Black Forest. Even if other territories don't steal your wealth, won't they still be able to escape your clutches?"

"So not only will I take your wealth, but this time I'll completely wipe out your dragon's lair! I've already sent my army to your dragon's lair. Just wait to see your Emerald Ring destroyed and a blaze erupt into the sky!"

"Damn monster, when you were destroying other territories, you should have thought about this day. It would come to you sooner or later."

"The greatest fantasy of these evil monsters is that they can plunder others without incurring any consequences. They indulge in an unrealistic delusion, imagining that they can conquer and oppress others through force, while being immune to any retaliation or loss. Today, I will give you a head-on blow!"

Hearing Su Li's impassioned and passionate words, the green dragon's golden eyes suddenly shrank. Unlike humans, whose lower level was shaken but whose upper level was firm, monsters didn't care about their lower level, but their upper level erupted in a fierce ideological shock.

The green dragon was the first to feel uneasy. The Emerald Ring was its biggest concern, and it could even be said to be its Achilles' heel!
These damn, cunning, greedy humans have actually secretly sent troops into the Blood Pine Forest?

A chosen one led hundreds or even thousands of elite knights into the Blood Pine Forest. Considering the current emptiness of the forest, almost no one could stop them!

This means that once they reach the forest, they will march straight in and take the Emerald Ring directly. The dragon's nest will be burned down and all the treasures in the dragon's nest will be looted!
If this really happened, it would be even more painful than killing Alyria.

Even if it sent its army to capture the city, it would not gain any happiness. No! The ending would be filled with pain, so painful that the dragon would wish to die!

The second person to be shocked was, of course, the tree demon Galeregon. Why did it send troops here to help at all costs? Wasn't it just to find an opportunity to drive out the green dragon and seize its gold and silver treasures?
If the green dragon's wealth is robbed by humans, what's the point of it fighting so hard?
The first thing it wanted to do was to retreat with its troops! Now there was still a chance to retreat and save the situation.

Even if the monsters knew everything now, they would not be able to catch up with the human knights on the plains. However, after entering the forest, the human's mobility advantage weakened, and their speed might not even be able to match that of the running monsters.

This is also why humans dare not enter the forest easily. At that time, their most powerful knight legion will lose its most important mobility advantage.

The Green Dragon immediately dispatched a messenger to convey the order to Ostanka, ordering it to halt the siege, withdraw its troops, and immediately investigate the whereabouts of the human knights in the east. If the humans were truly heading towards the Blood Pine Forest, they would definitely be in the east! The Harpy Legions would pursue them swiftly and would surely find their whereabouts.

These timid harpies may not be as powerful as a regiment of human cavalry. Even if hundreds of harpies pounce, they will all be killed by 60 human knights at a certain price. However, their ability to pursue is extremely outstanding.

But before these harpies find the human knights, these damn humans must pay the price for their arrogant coveting of the dragon's wealth and treasure!
"Monsters, the main human cavalry regiment is gone, and now they are at their weakest. Charge boldly! Go up and kill them all, leaving no one alive!"

The monsters' morale suddenly soared. Unlike the upper level who were cunning and fearful, the lower level monsters were overjoyed to hear the news!
Tens of thousands of monsters no longer had any worries and launched a fierce attack on the human defense line from three directions like a tsunami. The howling of various monsters mixed together was enough to scare a normal person into having nightmares for several days in a row.

The huge anger even made the green dragon lose its mind. It swooped down from the sky and spewed a huge and terrifying dragon breath towards the place where Su Li had just stood.

This scene was like a dive bombing, and it instantly turned the place where Su Li was standing into a mess. A large amount of bricks and rubble flew everywhere. In front of the green dragon's corrosive acid, the huge terrace was torn into pieces and almost collapsed.

Fortunately, when Su Li saw the green dragon swooping down, he decisively retreated into the castle surrounded by guards. Through the shooting holes in the castle corridor, he could see the huge figure of the dragon wreaking havoc in the castle.

Its ferocious claws gripped the castle's high tower, and it frantically breathed dragon breath at the corridors and spiral staircases inside, roaring angrily, "Despicable human, your cowardice is as stinking and disgusting as a rat! Where are you hiding? Get out here!"

It was responded by dense gunfire and a volley of shots from the Thunder Gunners, with white smoke from gunpowder rising from all directions of the castle.

Although it was difficult for these bullets to penetrate the green dragon's hard and powerful scales, the huge impact force still caused it waves of pain.

More importantly, three dragon-hunting crossbows and two cannon shells were fired at it.

The seeking rune on the dragon hunting crossbow made the green dragon feel a chill in his bones at the first moment. He saw at a glance that the rune engraved on it was the dwarf's infamous [Flexen Seeking Rune]. Over the past thousands of years, countless dragons had died under this rune!
Ailiriya did not dare to resist, and jumped up from the tower at the first moment, avoiding the three seeking runes. However, with so many attacks, it could dodge the dragon hunting crossbow, but it could not avoid all attacks unscathed. A solid steel bullet from a cannon hit its dragon back hard from the east side.

The enormous force caused its entire dragon body to turn into a C shape from east to west!
It couldn't help but roar in pain: "Damn dwarves, you work so hard, I will definitely make you pay the price!"

Of course the dwarfs work hard!

They were even more motivated and enthusiastic in this battle than humans.

Because in the eyes of the self-loving dwarves, stealing the treasure in the dragon's lair is not a despicable act, but a virtue!
The dwarves and their friends should plunder the dragon's wealth.

So unlike the humans whose morale was shaken, the dwarves fought excitedly, eager to win this battle. Due to their shared anxiety and desire for gold, the dwarves and dragons were natural enemies.

The dwarf ranger leader Dogrin roared excitedly for battle. Even though hundreds of monsters rushed to the first floor of the Black Parker Building again, he was not afraid at all. He chopped off the head of a troll who tried to climb to the second floor with an axe, and then shot and smashed a gnoll who came out of the dog hole and attacked him from the back.

Blood drenched his short, stocky body, but he shouted excitedly, "Ahaha! I feel the power of my ancestors' blessing! I killed a forest troll with a single blow of my axe. This is a feat even a troll butcher might not be able to achieve."

The elite dwarf ranger squad beside him cheered loudly, "Dogrin, well done! I feel that if you can survive, you have the potential to become the Chosen One in the future."

Live!
It is such a luxurious word in this dark and desperate battlefield.

The dark figures of monsters filled the battlefield, and countless blood coagulated, turning the battlefield into scarlet and black.

On every battlefield, the coalition forces of justice faced the terrifying siege of countless monsters.

But this time, there is no powerful legion of knights to support them. If everyone wants to survive, they can only fight hard!

Only by fighting to the death can we stop the monsters' attack and achieve victory!

This led to a fierce and brutal battle between the two sides. The battle lasted for four or five hours, with the sky and earth flowing with blood and the sun and moon losing their light.

The fallen corpses of both sides stretched for more than ten miles, and human positions were lost one after another. After the monsters successfully broke through the city wall for the first time, they continued to advance three or four miles into the city, and the outer pest area was almost reduced to ruins.
