The Amber Sword - 909. Chapter 909 Act 64, Message to Akane IV

Rising from the mountains is a magical creature shaped by rocks into flying monsters full of power. They have sheep-headed human bodies, with steel-like claws on their limbs, wingspan of more than seven meters, and stone skin. In the cold winter sun, it shimmered with a light blue luster, covered with faint magic runes, and two dark green gems formed the eyes of these magic creatures.

In fact, they do not belong to the most primitive gargoyles, but a kind of rune gargoyles-rune gargoyles, Brando wants gargoyles, and Tanya, a competent aunt, directly obtains them for him. The best one, as he said, these things are nothing to the Buga, so the craftsmen and wizards are willing to help Brando as much as possible without crossing their bottom line. Okay. Ask him to recapture the Azure Spear for them.

The Griffins of the empire soaring in the sky never thought that they would one day face such a battle. The densely packed gargoyles are rising from the mountains to the sky, and in a blink of an eye they filled the sky above the mountains. These magical creatures The screams of screams came one after another, coming from all directions, as if they were surrounded by them. But the Griffins all uttered a clear chirping, as if there was a kind of pride urging these brave and fearless birds of prey to spread their white wings to fight against their enemies. This is the symbol of the empire, and they are facing enemies dozens of times greater than themselves. He took the initiative to launch an attack, like a straight silver line piercing into the dark cloud, but in an instant, his wings flew away, and he shook his halberd.

The soldiers of the empire watched this scene almost dullly, watching the ferocious raptor of the empire they were proud of disappearing in an instant. After a while, a dry warning came from the observation room:

“Yes… it looks like a gargoyle…”

Although there are still a hundred griffon knights on standby in the fortress, at this moment, everyone has rooted at their feet, and no one ran down to the front of the city to inform others, because it was too late.

The gargoyle cluster is like a dark cloud on the horizon. After engulfing the griffon, it spread across half the sky like a flock of migratory birds. When they came to the fortress, the soldiers of the empire raised their heads dazedly until the first When a rock fell from mid-air and smashed the battlements to pieces, these people screamed and reacted—a catastrophe was imminent. The gargoyle is divided into three when it enters the sky above the fortress under the pre-set instructions, and it is divided into three huge arrows pointing in different directions in the mid-air. The first arrow composed of two hundred gargoyles points directly to the city wall. Direction, and the second arrow made up of three hundred gargoyles points to the inner city, and the largest arrow made up of all the gargoyles left goes straight to the headquarters of the Griffin Knights in the black sword barrier, as if they had long been Know that place.

When the Cruz knights of the city wall saw the two huge arrows in the sky cross the city wall without stopping, they immediately understood.

Their faces were green and iron before they realized that this was definitely a premeditated war.

The inner city is in chaos–

Those soldiers who are not on duty in the fortress area are being sent door-to-door from their station in the inner city, from various entertainment venues-from bars, prostitutes or even lovers’ homes-or from the streets in twos and threes. Drive out from the alley, hurriedly put on the shirt, put on the helmet, took up the weapon, and then rushed to the direction of the fortress as an organization or scattered to gather reports. If it is in the era of glorious return, or in chaos You will never see such a scene in the era of, or during the half-century before and after the Walnut Rebellion. In that era, even in the most lax period of the Black Sword Barrier, there were more than two-thirds of the soldiers at any time. In a state of combat readiness.

But now, this fortress has not experienced any war for nearly a hundred years, and even the bandits of Eruin dared not commit crimes in the area ruled by the empire. Their slackness has long cultivated their arrogance. , Arrogant habit.

The soldiers of the empire are gathering from various points. Although they are not worth mentioning compared to their predecessors, the last sense of honor and discipline as the soldiers of the empire keeps them from being completely messed up. Generally speaking, their The worst response was also much better than the aristocratic soldiers in the south of Eruin, and even no less inferior to the Black Blade Legion and the Hong Kong Guards that Brando had seen in Ampersel. These Luo wearing red and white robes The Zeriya soldiers gathered under the supervision of the bugle, and they were about to enter the fortress area soon.

It was at this time that they ran into the gargoyle from the sky.

“Look at the sky!”

I don’t know who shouted the first thing, and then the bustling red and white crowd on the street slowly stopped, looked up in the air, the dense black spots that formed the huge arrow were scattered, and then dived. In an instant, hundreds of gargoyles swooped down.

“Gargoyle!”

“Martha is here, and the Buga launched a sneak attack on us!”

The crowd was still surprised and stunned at first, then turned into a commotion and anxiety, and then began to retreat, and finally, under such a screaming scream, it turned into a rush.

“Hurry up and find cover!”

“These damn, cunning wizards!”

The Cruz people screamed in panic, trying to find a place that could provide cover, and at this moment the qualities of the imperial soldiers were also revealed. They were not scared to buzz like headless flies, or evolve into the same day. The aristocratic soldiers in the southern border of Eruin fled like the aristocratic soldiers; the Cruz knights drew out their weapons as soon as they found eaves, low walls, stacked boxes or other temporary fortifications on both sides of the street that could provide concealment. Prepare to wait for the first wave of attacks by this unnamed Air Force before launching a counterattack.

The empire has a military tradition for more than ten centuries. Their enemies come from all over the world. Whether it is the air force, navy, monsters, creatures or the dead, it is early for this war-ridden army with a profound tradition. It was no surprise, so after a brief commotion, they immediately calmed down, and under the command of the nearby knight commander, they entered a state of battle.

At this moment, if Brando came to see such a scene in person, he would definitely sigh, sighing at the strength of the Cruz people, and sighing because it was exactly the same as the imperial army he had ever seen.

After all, the empire is an empire, and Cruz’s eagle does not only soar in the sky with arrogance and arrogance.

But the tragedy of Rogeria’s soldiers comes from the same reason-Brando has seen them long ago, in another era.

Therefore, these soldiers quickly saw that the gargoyle’s dive was just an illusion. They immediately began to slow down after approaching the sky above the inner city, and then landed head-on-head on the roofs of the entire inner city. “What are they going to do!?” The Cruz knights looked at the scene in astonishment. The Air Force, as the name suggests, is their domain. If these gargoyles want to give them a head-on fight on the ground, it is obviously impossible. Things.

Their doubts were finally answered when they saw the first wizard wearing a robe and holding a staff jumped from the back of the gargoyle.

“wizard……”

In the nearby streets, every knight non-commissioned officer with commanding authority felt a bit sour in his teeth when he saw such a scene, and he immediately understood what the other party wanted to do.

When Mordenkain hugged his duck to make the demon jump from his gargoyle back, he was full of pride when he saw the stunned Cruz knights. He turned his head and saw that on the roof near to the left, almost every roof had three or four wizards preparing, as if in an instant, an army of wizards descended on the inner city of the Black Sword Bulwark. He turned his head again, and at this time, the Cruz people below seemed to be reacting from a state of consternation. The knights immediately commanded the soldiers around them to kill on the roof-even though they knew that the other party could not treat themselves. It poses any threat, but he still can’t help being a little nervous—what a bold idea to let the wizard come to the front line and fight face-to-face with the enemy soldiers.

Not to mention that he had never heard of this kind of battle before, and even if he thought about it, he didn’t even think about it. Naturally, the so-called wizards should be as far away from danger as possible.

But even though he was nervous and sweaty in his hands, he raised his staff and started chanting spells eloquently towards the army of Cruz people below. The average strength of the soldiers of the Imperial Frontier Guards is at least above the middle reaches of the Black Iron. The low roof of the inner city is not too difficult for them, but in a short time, some Imperial soldiers climbed onto the roof with the help of terrain, Mordenkain Seeing that the nearest soldier was no more than twenty feet away from him, he could even see the other’s hideous face, and the cold light of the long sword in his hand. There were a thousand and ten thousand people in his heart who were willing to prepare directly on his hands. The spell was thrown on the guy, but at the last moment, he moved the target abruptly, raised his staff and cast a spell at the imperial soldiers crowded on the street.

“The law of stillness and lag, imprisonment!”

Mordenkain shouted loudly, as if an invisible wall was descending in the direction he was pointing, and the air vibrated slightly, and all the imperial soldiers on the street were immediately imprisoned as if they were possessed by a demon. At the same time, about one-third of the hundreds of wizards who descended with the gargoyle completed the same control spells, while another third failed to cast the spells because they were too nervous, and another third Can’t help but throw the spell on the few soldiers closest to him.

But even one-third of this success made almost half of the streets in the inner city completely under the control of spells in an instant.

Mordenkain turned his head sweating profusely after casting his spell, only to see that the soldier who had climbed up had been slapped by the gargoyle. He breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a faint pride in his heart—— Because he knew that at least he was the first wave of wizards to throw spells under this tactic. Based on this alone, he could get rid of his apprenticeship and set foot in the ranks of official wizards.

The inner city is falling into a special kind of dead silence, as if being imprisoned for time-the imperial army that gathered and jammed the streets soon lost the room to fight back under the control of the wizards. They didn’t think about it. After counterattack, but the formation was so densely exposed to magical blows, the result was conceivable. Almost immediately, they lost more than two-thirds of their manpower. And then, the wizards only need to subdue the fish that slipped through the net one by one. During this period, the Cruzes sporadically organized a long-range strike, but they had almost no effect under the protection of magic. Under the protection of hundreds of gargoyles, there was no accomplishment, but one by one fell into the trap and became prisoners.

Of course, there are wizards in the empire, but the wizards in twos and threes are basically unlikely to be the opponents of hundreds of wizards gathered together. After sporadic counterattacks, they soon realized that the situation was gone, and either raised their hands to surrender or simply find a place to hide. Seek self-protection.

As if only in an instant, the Black Sword Bulwark lost most of its support.

…

Maria, the head of the Griffin Knights of the Black Sword Bulwark, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, silently watching the gargoyle leave in the sky, and on the other side of his sight, the headquarters of the Griffin Knights was already in a mess. This Griffin Fortress was built about two centuries ago. It is very tragic that it did not build the upper protective fortifications or construct magical protection according to the standards of this era. The take-off channel of the Griffin cage is still in accordance with the air force tradition about two hundred years ago. Expose it, because everyone understands that the enemy facing the Black Sword Bulwark is the Eruin, and the weak Argonian air force of the Eruin is unlikely to pose any threat to this fortress.

However, it was this traditional cognition that brought it almost devastating.

Maria has not yet figured out where the damn gargoyles came from. He was still sending a messenger to find out what was going on with the loud noise on the other side of the city wall, and then at the same time ordered some knights to prepare to lift off, but he also Unexpectedly, the attack would come so quickly. Before the first warm-up Gryphon riders had time to release their beloved Gryphon from the cage, the black cloud in the sky had already flown over the Knights. What happened next was a nightmare. Before that, Maria had never heard of such an attack.

The gargoyle began to dive, and then dropped pieces of shining crystals. Most of these crystals hit the passage of the griffon cage, and a small part hits the storeroom of the knights. What happened later is as he sees now, the entire griffon cage. The passage has been completely destroyed. About one hundred and sixty griffins and more than thirty knights were sealed inside. It is hard to say how many can be rescued. As for the warehouse, Maria looked at the two big pits wherever she could see her face sinkingly.

For a while, he could not say a word.

At this time, outside the ruins of the Knight’s Gate, Rovac, who was pointing his sword at Brando, obviously didn’t know that such a wonderful thing had happened in the fortress behind him, but even so, his face was gone. Good to see where to go. Above him, the soldiers of the empire were fighting fiercely with the gargoyle. The wizards in the fortress had joined the battle, and the longbowmen and crossbowmen also began to line up, which can be said to barely stabilize the situation; and behind him , More than a hundred dragon knights have completed the preparation, these Cruz knights wearing heavy armor, raised their spears one after another, and the triangular flags on the spears fluttered in the wind, like a fiery red ocean.

The Earth Traveling Dragon was adjusting its steps uncomfortably, facing the uninvited guests outside the city gate, as if the knights would come out with a single command.

But at this moment, Rovac felt no sense of security at all.

Because in his vision, Brando is approaching him step by step. This Lord Earl is alone, holding a sword in one hand, but his momentum does not seem to be at a disadvantage. He is alone, facing the cruz people’s ground. The dragon heavy knight has a light cloud on his face, as if these knights who have been described in the past history are extremely glorious, in his eyes long ago. Rovac had seen such indifferent eyes. When the Ursa of the Black Crow Principality launched a charge at that person, the scene where the man stood proudly on the court with one sword is still in front of him almost all the time.

Could it be said that only sixty years ago, the Eruin had another such sword master?

Rovac was sweating, and suddenly thought of another possibility.

Behind Brando, Medissa was looking at the back of her lord, she silently called out the unicorn and turned on her horse, while the Baicheng Pioneer Tiger Sparrow, Flo and others naturally lined up behind her. , List the formation of the charge, ready to follow the attack.

But at this time Brando turned around and said, “Medissa, you go to subdue that empire squad and save the refugees.”

“Lord Lord.”

Brando did not answer her, but said to Shire: “Shire, the wall is left to you.”

“no problem.”

Then Brando turned around, and Rovac, the sword of the Empire, charged him.

“Follow me to attack, dragon knights!” Rovac shouted loudly.

In the next moment, he would not be able to make such a heroic voice, because he had already seen Brando split in two in front of him.

He was stunned as he watched two Brandos walking around him as if strolling in a leisurely court. Both Brandos raised their swords at the same time-without any tricks, they just raised their swords flatly. Step forward, this sword seems to be easily evaded even by a little Mao child who is just learning swordsmanship. Rovac lowered his head to dodge without exception, and at the same time tried to distinguish between the’two people’ which is Brando’s real body.

But he just bowed his head and the scene that made him fly into the sky happened. He clearly saw that he had avoided the opponent’s sword, but when he bowed his head, he saw that the bright blade was still on his chest. .

“It’s impossible!” Rovac just felt this idea in his mind, he felt a slight pain in his chest, a long hole had been pulled out of the armor, he only felt black in front of his eyes, and his knees were almost uncontrollable. The ground fell to his knees.
