Heart of the Castle

Chapter 508 Transformed into an elbow and armpit, blood staining the royal city
The battle went smoothly. Although there were many nobles in the capital, they were completely unable to fight against the disciplined and high-spirited Griffin Knights, just like no amount of bighorn sheep could fight against wolves.Their formation collapsed at the first touch, and the noble disciples in front turned pale and retreated step by step in front of the sword.

In contrast, those guarding knights still had the courage to fight. A reckless guy roared and rushed towards Li Wei from the side, "Kingslayer, die!" Has reached the pinnacle of vindictiveness.

Li Wei blocked the onslaught of the guarding knight with the knight's sword, and the force from his hand was so violent that the body of the Griffin Lord shook. "Your head is worth [-] gold coins! Go to hell!" The guard knight roared excitedly, and kept swinging his sword to attack Li Wei fiercely. Although it has the advantage of being condescending, it is actually unable to quickly break through the blocking of the guard knight.

Seeing that Li Wei was blocked by the guard knight, the nobles of the royal capital immediately regained their courage. They shouted and regrouped into a horizontal formation, blocking the wedge-shaped battle formation formed by the Griffin Knights. There was a loud sound.

Time means life, and Li Wei was extremely anxious, and the slashes fell like raindrops on the guard knights blocking the way.However, the knight's skill was unexpectedly strong, and his combat experience was also exceptionally rich. Seeing that Li Wei was eager to break through, he only defended instead of attacking, holding the epee with both hands, and blocked every slash from Li Wei. .

The two swords clashed fiercely more than ten times, and the flying dou qi flashed on and off. Li Wei seemed to feel numb in his arms, and there was a slight stagnation between chopping and chopping.The guard knight noticed this, grinned, and approached Li Wei with a growl, "Lord Griffin, you can't run away, your head is mine..."

His growl suddenly disappeared, because the Dark Nightmare of the North suddenly turned his head with a quick movement that was impossible for a horse, and his neck leaned sideways like a snake, and bit the head of the guarding knight fiercely.The helmet and skull crackled horribly in the black horse's mouth, and then the man screamed and was cut off by Li Wei's sword with his right hand, and the second sword cut from the shoulder to the chest.

Seeing the bloody corpses fell on the ground, several noble children who were shouting just now uttered suffocating groans, turned around and ran back. Although the guard knights did not lose their courage to fight because of this, they were also happy to take advantage of it. Taking this opportunity, they retreated with their master.

The wedge-shaped battle formation formed by the Griffin Knights then rushed forward, and in the blink of an eye, the horizontal formation of the nobles in the capital was torn apart. Many nobles screamed and scattered to avoid, and those who still wanted to resist were engulfed and retreated.Li Wei rushed to the iron gate at the end of the palace square, and for a moment it seemed that victory was within reach. However, with the sound of a horn, hundreds of tall figures wearing black iron ring armor, holding large shields and heavy flails came from left and right of the iron gate. After rushing out, hideous and bloodthirsty faces appeared under the half-face helmet.

"This road is blocked." Those people shouted at the same time, their voices were rough and rebellious.

"Jailor of Fort Dread!" Baron Hughes couldn't help but blurted out, his voice full of horror, "Why did these guys appear here?"

"It seems to be a trap that has been arranged a long time ago." Li Wei was not surprised, because when His Majesty the King was assassinated by the Shadow Assassin, the behavior of Marquis Edwin Reeves made him suspicious, and the jailer of the Dreadfort Appearance proves the position of Lord Peeling. "Traitor, the Marquis Edwin Reeves is the traitor!" Deep anger flashed across his face, and his gaze at the jailers of the Dreadfort became sharp and merciless.

The Dark Nightmare in the Northern Territory also seemed to feel Li Wei's anger, its mane trembled like a flame, and at the same time let out a long hiss, which immediately caused the war horses in the stables on the side of the palace square to neigh in unison, powerful and powerful.

"Get out of the way." Li Wei pointed at the Dreadfort jailers with his blood-dripping knight sword, his voice was as cold as ice, "Whoever stands in my way will die."

"It sounds like you are threatening us? Threatening us Dreadfort jailers?" An exceptionally tall and burly jailer leader walked out of the queue, showing a ferocious smile at Li Wei. A deep whine full of deterrence, "Lord Griffin, the jailers of the Dreadfort are not those pampered useless knights in the capital, you can't break through our block! You are dead!"

Before he could finish his words, the Black Nightmare of the Northern Territory suddenly lifted its hooves into the air, and then stomped heavily on the ground. The plaza of the palace was covered with bluestone slabs several centimeters thick, but under the hooves of the Dark Nightmare of the Northern Territory, it was even more fragile than parchment. , immediately the trampled gravel flew.Then a reddish scorching air wave spread out from the black horse's hooves as the center, and the whistling sound filled the ears of everyone around in an instant.

Although the Jailers of Dreadfort are not listed as one of the four major Knights of the Kingdom of Arthur, their strength is definitely not inferior to the Lightning Knights, which ranks the weakest. Most of the members are savages from wild lands. Junior soldiers can also compete against heavily armed quasi-knights.Facing the fire ring of resistance that suddenly erupted from the Dark Nightmare in the Northern Territory, although they were surprised, they did not panic.

Their response was flawless, and the only thing they didn't expect was the terrifying power of the Black Nightmare's Resistance Fire Ring.As early as in the arena of Dirk City, this dark horse once displayed its demonic power, and sent several guys and horses flying out of the knight assessment. Compared with the fully armored knight, it still looks a little lighter.

The twenty or so people standing in the front seemed to have been hit head-on by a heavy hammer. Not only did they stagger back a few steps, their left hand holding the shield was extremely numb, and their faces burned as if they were being burned by flames.The team leader was the only one who persisted without retreating. The dark blue grudge strengthened his shield, forming a solid protection on it.

However, this does not represent his luck, because in the next moment, Li Wei had already rushed forward, and the knight sword flashed a silver-white light, pouring down towards the head of the jailer leader like a waterfall of light.

The leader of the jailer raised his shield to block. His strength is far stronger than Li Wei, and his fighting spirit is also slightly better. However, resisting the ring of fire just now has caused some damage to his left arm, plus the speed bonus of the Dark Nightmare in the North , This sword made it very difficult for him to receive it, and the light spots of fighting spirit exploded like fireworks.Li Wei's arms were also numb from the shock force, but the next moment, the Griffin Lord clenched his teeth and swung his sword backhand, and slashed fiercely again. With a click, oak debris splashed everywhere, and the leader of the prison guard held his sword. More than a quarter of his large shield disappeared, and the man also staggered and fell to the ground.

Before he could stand up, several two-handed giant swords submerged him, and the bloody flowers gradually weakened with the screams. The price was that he was hacked to death by the griffin knights without even making a counterattack.

Such a rapid death of the leader was also a matter of horror to the jailers of the Dreadfort, and the battle line even became agitated by it.But after all, they are troops experienced in many battles, and they cooperate very closely with each other. Coupled with the heavy flails that can be swung with amazing power, every step forward for the Griffin Knights becomes very difficult.

A burst of shrill horn blasted from the direction of the palace, woo woo woo——, the tone was messy and hurried, as if it brought out the panic in the trumpeter's heart.The nobles who were waiting for an audience on the palace square stopped whispering at the same time. They listened to the tone of the horn, with expressions of disbelief and horror on their faces.

"His Majesty the King... died?"

"What's going on? Is this the reason why His Majesty the Regent Queen Lilaya announced the convening of the court meeting?"

"Impossible, if that's the case, why hasn't the bell of Ashes Fortress rang yet?"

Before the nobleman could finish his words, bells rang out from the seven towers of the Ashes Fortress at the same time. The sound should have been solemn and grand, but at this moment, it was like a sledgehammer hitting every one of them. the bottom of a person's heart.

"Your Majesty the king... really passed away." An old nobleman murmured in a daze.

"Look, the iron gate of Ash Fortress is falling!" Another nobleman suddenly exclaimed, "What's going on?"

"That's needless to say? The death of His Majesty the King is absolutely abnormal! He was assassinated, and the murderer was the Griffin Lord Levi Stone!" A nobleman who had participated in blocking Levi suddenly shouted, causing a commotion among the crowd. There was a commotion.

Many nobles whispered to each other, but due to Li Weiston's original reputation, not many people were willing to believe it, and another voice immediately refuted it. "What nonsense are you talking about? Just now, neither the horn nor the bell was sounded, and you fought with Levi Stone. Are you all prophets who can see the future?"

Looking at the iron gate that was rattling and falling rapidly in front of him, Li Wei couldn't help but feel a shudder in his heart. The weight of this iron gate is more than 10 tons. Once it falls, there is almost no way to recover it except using a winch. Hold it up; as for cutting off the iron railing with a sword, although the material used for the iron gate is only fine iron, its diameter reaches ten centimeters, even a strong man like Sir Rodriguez would have to cut it It takes dozens of hacks to destroy a gap that can pass through.If it were Li Wei and the Griffin Riders, it would probably take at least [-] minutes to break through.

Levi didn't have 10 minutes, Levi didn't even have half a minute.

"Long live the griffin lord!" A tidy roar sounded from behind Li Wei and from the left and right sides, and the griffin riders suddenly burst into an astonishing momentum, one by one waving their swords and rushing forward. It was so reckless that the wedge-shaped battle formation collapsed.The jailers of the Dreadfort immediately seized this opportunity. The heavy flail made a terrifying whine, and the ten-kilogram iron ball smashed towards the Griffin Riders head-on with terrifying spinning force.

They didn't think that such an attack would achieve any results, but it could definitely stop the Griffin Knight's crazy attack.For the jailers of Fort Dreadful, being able to stop Li Wei and his Griffin Knights until the iron gate falls is the greatest victory. As for exterminating these people, more than 100 jailers can't do it.

To the surprise and joy of the jailers of the Dreadfort, the attack that was originally only a hindrance had an astonishing effect, and almost none of the attacks of the heavy flail failed.The terrible sounds of metal rubbing and bones breaking sounded one after another. Several Griffin Knights were hit on the head by iron balls. Not only did their helmets collapse, some even shot their eyeballs out.

The surprise of the Dreadfort jailer lasted less than one heartbeat. There was only one reason why the Griffin Riders did not dodge, and that was to trade injury for death, and exchange their own life for a bloody way for Levi.Emerald green light bloomed from their two-handed swords, and at that moment it was as brilliant as the sky.

"What is this..." A two-handed sword cut off half of the head of the jailer of the Dreadfort who spoke

"Burn your fighting spirit! Hurry up..." Before the other jailer could finish his warning, he was slashed by a sword from his shoulder to his ribs.
It's just that in this fierce confrontation, more than 20 Dreadfort jailers fell to the ground and died screaming. The Griffin Riders achieved a result that they hadn't been able to achieve for just a few minutes, but their losses were equally terrible. Five or six Griffin Knights fell to the ground after striking a fatal blow, because they blocked the jailer's attack for their companions, and their lives had already been exhausted.

"No!" Li Wei yelled in surprise, "What do you want to do? Defend! Defend!"

None of the griffin riders obeyed the order, "Long live the griffin lord!" The roar sounded again, although the number of people was a little smaller, but the tragic momentum was even worse.Then the two-handed sword and the heavy flail crossed again. This time, there were only seventeen or eighteen jailers of the Dreadfort who fell, because several Griffin Knights were seriously injured in the first confrontation, and the fallen Griffin Knights were There are as many as six.

The number of Griffin Knights around Li Wei has dropped to 12, while there are still more than 60 jailers in the Dreadfort. The comparison of combat effectiveness is actually worse than before. However, when the Griffin Knights continue to advance with their swords However, those Dreadfort jailers began to retreat for the first time, and the orderly retreat turned into a rout in a blink of an eye. They screamed in panic, like a group of defeated beasts, and fled in all directions in embarrassment, even in order to reduce the burden. Even the shields and flails in their hands were discarded. It seemed that if it wasn't for the black iron ring armor on their bodies that couldn't be taken off quickly, they didn't even plan to keep this piece of equipment.

Seeing the fierce Dreadfort prison guards running away, Li Wei could hardly believe his eyes, but then he saw another imminent crisis. The friction between the winch and the iron chain became louder and louder, and the heavy iron The gate is falling rapidly from the sky.

"Summon, giant earth element!" Li Wei's voice sounded hurriedly.

At the same time as the iron gate crashed down, several khaki halos flashed, and then several giant earth elementals with a height of five meters appeared under the Ashes Fortress. Arms as thick as pillars stretched out at the same time, holding the iron gate firmly. mid-air.

"Success, Griffin Riders, let's get out of here." Li Wei held back the sadness in his heart and shouted loudly.However, the footsteps of those Griffin Knights remained motionless. They stayed on the other side of the iron gate and began to check their weapons at the same time.

"Why, why don't you go?" Li Wei shouted anxiously, but except for the leading Crusader swordsman who turned his head, the rest of the Griffin Knights stood side by side facing the Palace Square, and locked the gate of the Ashes Fortress. Sealed tightly.

"Master Li Weiston, you go, we don't have horses, we can only slow you down, so we must stay behind!" The crusader swordsman explained in a low voice, and then bowed his chest to Li Wei, "Very Glad to fight for you, you have lived up to the title of a true knight all the way from the refugee camp."

Li Wei recognized that it was the crusader swordsman who followed him first, and he shook his head fiercely. "No, we walked into this gate together, and we have to go out together!"

"Please go quickly! My lord, don't let us sacrifice in vain!" The Crusader swordsman said, and then said to the giant earth element beside him, "Leave immediately and put down the iron gate!"

These giant earth elements did not obey any commands except Li Wei's orders. However, as soon as the crusader swordsman's voice fell, the gray-blue crystal eyes on their faces flickered, and then merged into the ground at the same time.The iron gate lost its support and immediately crashed down.Then the two-handed sword in the hands of the crusader swordsman swung an emerald green sword light, and cut off the chain above the iron gate. In this way, even the winch was useless, and the iron gate weighing twenty tons The road leading to the outside of the Ash Fortress was firmly blocked.

But this time, the ones blocked by the iron gate were the pursuers who rushed from the palace square.

"My lord, take care!" This was the last farewell from the Griffin Riders, and then the Dark Nightmare in the Northern Territory let out a long hiss and galloped along the streets of Firmeyer.

Li Wei tried his best to look back on the horse, and saw countless soldiers appearing from the direction of the palace square, and they swarmed towards the Griffin Knights.Then came the sound of swords and swords, the sound of metal clashing, and the screams of the wounded. The familiar cry of "Long live the Griffon Lord" was very loud, and the hooves of the Dark Nightmare in the North were like thunder, and they quickly moved away until everything disappeared. at the end of the field of view.
