"Shani, please stay with Carroll and protect her and Delmond. When you find that you cannot win on the battlefield, those people may have a bad idea. I asked Cook to protect the family of Shaky Manor, but Carroll didn't want to go there. I can only hand her over to you."
Shani nodded. She was wearing a purple long skirt today, with a wide golden belt around her waist, and a soft sword hidden inside. The silver bracelets extended upward from the wrist to cover most of the forearms. It seemed to be silver, actually mitsilver, a very light but tough metal that was enough to block the slash of the sword and disperse the impact force. It is an excellent protective equipment.
The same material is used inside the long skirt to form a protective like a chain armor shirt, wrapping all the keys of the chest and abdomen. A magic necklace that can form a shield is worn on Shani's neck. It was created by Feiqi himself, enough to block the giant's full-strength attack, and can also teleport her to the three-barrel magic array after receiving the order.
The kind Shani wanted Fitch to hand over the equipment to Carroll, and she said that she had keen snake hair and paralysis ability. "But you are my weakness, never someone else." Fitch persuaded, and then dressed everything for her with his own hands. "If you can help me, I will be at ease and be able to deal with the problems of the nobles' Union Army more attentively."
"Feich..." Shani hesitated for a moment, but said, "Does Carroll make you feel a little upset? She doesn't seem to cooperate with your actions."
"Understand her. Andrew just died, and this blow was very big, and it directly exposed her to the impact of ugly aristocratic politics, and I also contributed to the fire. In this matter, I also have selfish interests, so I can't call it a good thing. So what I can do is hope that you can understand her, help me watch her, and not let her get into trouble."
"Don't say you're a bad guy, I never think that way." Shani pulled Fitch's face over with both hands and pecked it on it. "Okay, go and do your iron horse, I'll play with the queen and the little prince."
Feiqi nodded, and said goodbye to Shani and came alone to the highest balcony of the palace. His guards were waiting here and immediately saluted after seeing him. Although Feiqi thought he did not need the guards, doing so would allow ordinary people to maintain a sense of familiarity and help him gain understanding.
Looking out from the edge of the balcony, if your vision is as good as Fitch, you can see the endless noble coalition forces entering the battlefield along King's Avenue. Fitch has set up a grand welcome ceremony for their arrival, including looping the border with ropes and inserting signs of "Don't get close" and "No to watch". Outside the preset battlefield, about a hundred meters apart, is the trenches of the Knights of the Hell.
With the help of ready-made houses, barns and cellars nearby, the Hell Knights set up a magic gun defense line, which is usually used to warn the noble coalition forces, and prevent them from escaping everywhere during battle. In the direction of the battlefield to Tawugang City, the horse pits and tripping ropes that prevent rapid cavalry assaults were everywhere. Some simple traps were enough to cause delays so that the Hell Knights could organize a counterattack.
The City Guards are the second line of defense, used to defend the city and avoid the opponent's destruction in Tawugang City. If the battle is in front and the fire is on the back, the battle will not be fought. Defense consumes combat effectiveness more continuously than offense, and the City Guards have been tense for the past few days.
Hydes, who was recovering from his own nest, is also an important force, but it clearly stated that it would not be involved in the war between human aristocrats. At most, when fires are on the rise, use its own power to create heavy rainstorms to prevent the spread of the fire and protect the residents of the city. As a reserve team, Hobbes' sailors should focus on the sea direction to prevent people from being touched from behind, and on the other hand, they should go wherever they need to go.
The knights and soldiers of the Hall family guarded the palace, built defense lines along the mountain road leading to the palace, and strictly inspected the people and goods entering and leaving the palace in recent days. Feiqi knew that the knights of these families also had complaints that the cancellation of the entire aristocratic class also affected their interests. What can be maintained now is the idea of ​​"following the winners will benefit" and the habits that have been developed for a long time. Therefore, Feiqi chose to let them defend and protect, and did not want to take them to the battlefield at all.
In fact, he didn't want to take anyone to the battlefield.
On the balcony, I carefully observed the situation and projects of the enemy and us on the battlefield, and confirmed that the Knights of Hell had completed his previous deployment. Feiqi felt relieved. "Okay, you all go to protect Shani, I'm going to the battlefield."
"Sir, please let us help you on the battlefield."
"Thank you, this time I want to show off myself, and I need to show off myself." Feiqi patted the Knight's shoulder behind him. "Dubois, Tuttle, when Andrew came to me, I said: "You may be nameless but in danger of the moment. The only benefit is that you can witness the changes in the world in the nearest position. This time I'm sorry, you can't go to the nearest position."
"Sir, if you are left alone on the battlefield, you will be ridiculed by the guys over there."
"What I want to do is not what a knight and a nobleman should do. My hands are covered with blood, and many of them are probably the innocent. You don't need to do such things, I order you to stay."
The two guards had to agree, but their eyes were still full of resistance. Feiqi patted their shoulders again, then summoned the magic matrix to create a space channel, took a light step, and was already in the center of the battlefield.
The wheat field was covered with a thin layer of snow. It had just fallen this morning and would disappear before dawn tomorrow. It could not cover the soil and straw ash below. The faint white was incompatible with the black and yellow land, but it could make a creaking sound when stepped on it. Feiqi walked around for a few steps, listened to this natural sound for a while, and then looked up at the noble coalition forces opposite.
The flags were waving, the crowded camp tents had been initially formed, and the arrow tower was more than three meters high and was continuing to climb into the sky. Hundreds of white smoke columns rose in the camp. Even if there was only a breeze, they could smell the smell of cooking food from afar.
The length of the battlefield is one thousand meters and the width is more than 700 meters. The terrain on Feich is slightly higher, but it is negligible for war horses. When Feich arrived, three horns sounded in the camp opposite, and then many people rode out of the camp to conduct reconnaissance on the battlefield. Correspondingly, the Hell Knights sounded a sharper horn sound, and a magic gun was poked out from the chest-deep trench, and they also entered a state of alert and defense.
Feiqi pressed his hand down, indicating that the Hell Knights did not have to make a fuss. The coalition was composed of nobles and knights from more than a hundred families. They brought catapults and heavy crossbows, and brought a large number of cavalry and infantry. The bows and arrows and spears were like dense forests, and armor and shields could pile into small hills. They came from afar, but they still had the advantage of the number of people, as well as what they called the "power of union".
"A country that wants to become strong must first set up my determination to be strong." Feiqi looked at the camp opposite, thinking in his heart. "A country that wants to be peaceful must first have strong combat capabilities. If the magic guns cooperate with trenches and barbed wire, plus sufficient supply of elemental gems, the Knights of Hell can also sweep the coalition forces opposite, but..."
Feiqi once again made himself determined: "Remember, this is indeed not the only way, but the most necessary way. A new country is destined to be built around me at the beginning, and I can only highlight my personal strength so that I can implement my will. Feiqi, in this battle, there is only one goal: to establish enough deterrent power."
Then, in front of the entire coalition, he began to warm up and move his limbs well. The cat-troll stick was summoned and inserted into the wheat field on his right hand. The pit sword was on the left, and the Eye of Koktal narrowed into a pearl and turned into a ring and put it on his hand. For this battle, Feiqi also hung a square cover lantern on his waist. This was the soul trap lantern, something he had used in the bloody battle of hell.
After all this was done, he stood quietly, his eyes narrowed, leaving only a thin slit that was unseen, as if he was asleep. The nobles of the coalition forces expressed their confusion: "There is still a whole day that is the agreed date. What are he doing while standing there?"
No one understands why, but the people of the Knights of Hell probably understand. They all know that while Feiqi was trapped in hell, he was completely "relying on magic support" and could survive in extremely harsh environments. He could definitely avoid hunger and thirst and even no need to sleep, but is it worth it?
In the eyes of ordinary people, Feiqi is just standing in a daze, but if a person who is very sensitive to mana fluctuations and is best to learn magic, he will see a different scene. Feiqi is gathering mana and shooting runes around, and transforming the battlefield environment while ensuring that they are invisible. He has the confidence to win, but the fruit of victory is never at your fingertips. He needs to work hard and use enough caution to protect this effort to ensure the desired result.
‘From the bonfire, the troops on the other side are about 7,000, and it may continue to increase tomorrow. In those tents covered with thick canvas, giant trenchers are preparing. It seems that they want to use siege weapons to suppress me.’ Feiqi had imagined many ways of fighting, and in each expectation, it is very important to seize the initiative.
Through the Eye of Koktal, Feich found some strange people in the camp of the nobles. They did not look like nobles, and their eyes and behavior were incompatible with other people, but they looked very capable. It is very likely that this was the mercenaries the nobles spent money to hire, wanting to use their strange tricks to deal with Feich. Some of them had mana fluctuations, although they were far weaker than Feich, but now there were too few spell casters and too precious.
After thinking for a while, Feiqi teleported a whisper through the Eye of Koktal: "I see you, go back, don't get involved in this muddy water, take advantage of the opportunity." The caster was clever and nervously checked up and down, left and right, and cast a spell to detect the surrounding mana fluctuations, but the Phantom Snake had already gone to other places at this time and he could not find anything.
A reminder is enough. These people have already considered it when they joined the noble army - if not, it is not worth reminding. Feiqi walked around the enemy's tent several times and found a weird guy wearing black leather armor, wrapped his face tightly with a black mask, and even his eyes were hidden under the sunglasses. He stayed in the tent and sat cross-legged meditating, with an exaggerated giant bow next to him. Feiqi estimated that the giant bow was almost the same height as his, well-made, and looked very powerful. Obviously, this was prepared for Feiqi.
If you have a bow, you need an arrow, but Feiqi searched several times in the tent, but he didn't see an arrow. This guy in black clothes had no equipment on his body to exude the breath of space spells, that is, there were no items like space bags, so where did the arrow go? Feiqi turned his eyes again on the giant bow. Most of the brown hardwood bow body was wrapped in thick rough cloth strips. Because it was very tight and rubbed a lot, you could vaguely see the marks pressed from the runes carvings in some places.
"This is a spell bow." Feiqi looked carefully at the runes above and barely recognized the symbol of the Abyss Word. In other words, this is a chaotic bow created by magic spells. Perhaps it can generate mana arrows on its own. A distance of nearly a thousand meters, even a shooter with the best arm strength will find it difficult to shoot material arrows over and maintain lethality. Spell arrows are a good idea.
Interesting, very interesting. Feiqi also became interested in the identity of this Sagittarius. However, he was wrapped very tightly. Koktal could penetrate inanimate substances, but could not penetrate his body for observation. Besides, Feiqi did not use the appearance of his body organs to identify his opponents! His investigation was entirely to know himself and his enemy and ensure his acquired victory.
"Be careful of the enemy's magic arrows, be careful of the enemy's magic. At the beginning of the war, they will use all means to kill me as soon as possible with mixed attacks... They are afraid that I will teleport to the noble commander and assassinate them." Feiqi looked at the dish and continued to improve his magic circle against the methods of the noble coalition.
He stood motionless, putting heavy mental pressure on the noble coalition in this "silent" firm posture. However, in the afternoon of the day, his isolation was broken. Dubois and Tuttle, his two guards, dressed in exquisite full-body heavy armor, carried heavy tower shields in their hands, walked over like a walking fortress, leaving two deep and clear footprints on the wheat fields.
"Sir, His Majesty King Andrew asked us to stay in the castle. We did not fulfill our duty to protect him. We failed. You trust us, but also let us stay in the castle, and said this was an order." Dubois said while adjusting his breathing: "Sir, we have disobeyed your order, not a qualified guard knight. But we still have to come here, one is not a repeat of the same mistake, and the other is to be a qualified knight. We can do not have life or honor, but fulfill the responsibility of protecting you!"
"You two are so tired, how can you protect me?" Feiqi turned around and shook his head slightly: "You should disobey the order and punish them, but you don't have to hurry. You can reduce the exemption according to your battlefield performance. Since you must come, I will arrange a battlefield mission for you."
"You go back and find a flag. The flag is square, with a red background, and two black and white wings in the center, tightly gathered together to form a heart-shaped shape, and at the same time, golden thunder behind it. Yes, you can go to the painter, I guess you two are just as good at painting."
"Make the flag well, bring it, and stand it on the battlefield with a spear, which represents my honor. The task of you two is to protect this honor and not let it fall to the ground."
"Yes, go quickly." Feiqi urged, "Oh, take off the armor and shield and throw it here, won't you be faster? Don't be stupid!"
Chapter completed!
