Chapter 90: Compound Crossbow with Energetic Magic (the second update of three today)
At night, the wind wolf leads the town.
The top floor of the hotel.
"Baron Wind Wolf, Lord Paris will confirm whether the investigation is over at noon tomorrow."
Several demon hunting knights opened the door and delivered meals to Baron Wind Wolf, Paris' son-in-law Lorient said.
Baron Windwolf took the dinner in silence.
Lorient's face was the same as usual, with glasses and some vicissitudes of life, and there was a hint of melancholy hidden in his eyes.
A demon-hunting knight behind Lorient had a look of gloating in his eyes, looking at Baron Windwolf as if he was looking at an unlucky guy who was in danger of disaster.
Baron Wind Wolf understands that these days, several affairs officers and knights in the territory who have direct contact with the Thieves Guild have been arrested and escorted away by the church knights.
The Thieves Guild's spellcasters were involved in more things than they imagined, and those who were escorted away might never come back.
He felt so much hatred at this moment...
He hated the people of the Thieves Guild for hiding things, he hated the Ice Lake Leader's counterattack, he hated Ricardo who joined the Demon Hunter Knights...
His eyes flashed with a fierce look and he walked to a wooden wall in the bedroom.
He leaned against the wall and said in a ferocious voice:
"Have you made arrangements for tomorrow?"
On the other side of the wooden wall, the voice of Captain Fenglang came:
"Sir, everything has been arranged. I will be released early tomorrow. Please leave the hotel. After that, the castle guards will join you as soon as possible."
These days of investigation have clearly made Baron Wind Wolf feel that Paris has a big plan.
After sensing the crisis, he and several core subordinates took action, except for his own movement which was severely restricted.
The guard captain, who has no evidence of direct contact with the Thieves Guild, has used various means to remotely control the actions of the castle soldier captains.
"What do you say to the Frostwind Territory? Viscount Frostwind just lets the children of his enemy grow up like this?" "The Viscount attaches
great importance to it. He feels that it is necessary to cut the knot quickly. The Wind Wolf Territory and the Ice Lake Territory are already in a de facto state of war. We will meet tomorrow morning A team of Frostwind Iron Guards has arrived at the castle. They will cooperate with you and attack the Ice Lake Territory immediately." "
Frostwind Iron Guards... That's good!"
Baron Wind Wolf felt relieved, but then he made up his mind again. , "Let everyone wear armor tomorrow, and all the armor in the castle, whether leather or armor, will be released. We will wait for the demon hunting knights to retreat, and then we will start taking action." "There are Frostwind Iron Guards, plus we can be caught off
guard , the newly added cavalry in Ice Lake Territory is of no use at all."
"As long as I go out, the advantage will be mine!"
Baron Wind Wolf and Viscount Frostwind are both lords who have completed their title upgrades in this generation.
Both of them are much more powerful than nobles of the same level.
Baron Wind Wolf has more middle- and high-level knights, but now many of the core knights have been escorted and arrested.
As for Viscount Frostwind, not only was he outstanding in strength, he also obtained the secret method of cultivating enchanted armored knights in a tomb in the Panxue Mountains when he was young. The Frostwind Iron Guard was the product of this secret method.
…
the next day.
It's still dark.
The kitchens in the castle and Blossom Manor have almost prepared a meal for the soldiers before they go off to war.
By morning.
All the armored knights who were about to go on the expedition and the accompanying leather-armored infantrymen had already finished eating and putting on their armor.
This time, Ricardo did not ride in a carriage, but directly rode on a horse. He personally took charge of the cavalry regiment and headed towards the Wind Wolf Leader.
The leather-armored infantry were in the front, and the horse-drawn carriage was in the middle.
More than a hundred armored knights in gray iron or black armor followed, marching mightily on the road between the territories.
When the tenant farmers along the way saw it, they all hid in the woods aside in fear.
An Erjie, the guard captain and others, who were wearing black armor on their horses, felt so proud as they looked at the hundred-man armored knights.
Less than two hours.
The Ice Lake Territory's army arrived at Wind Wolf Town.
Wind Wolf Town has a castle stationed on the edge, and there are fewer bandits intruding. There are no city walls on the edge of the town.
The cavalry regiment went around to the side of the town, behind a slope that was out of sight of the castle.
Then arrange for the infantry to start demolishing the houses in the triangular area from the slope to the castle to the town hotel that may affect the knight's charge.
During the demolition, Paris suddenly appeared on the dirt slope on the side of Ricardo's horse.
He was wearing a hooded black robe, and his whole demeanor was that of a spell caster.
"Ricardo, your Ice Lake Leader is really surprising. There are more than a hundred knights in uniforms and enchanted armors." "
It seems that the wealth you have accumulated in the Wizarding Continent is really rich."
Paris said on the slope He went up and glanced at the surrounding cavalry, with some envy in his eyes.
"The administrators of the provincial center are already in place. Lorient will release Baron Wind Wolf in two quarters of an hour. You decide for yourself how to show off this battle to several inspectors. Your troops no longer need any strategy, just go directly We can win even if we crush them."
Ricardo responded with a slight smile:
"The Wind Wolf Leader will not sit still and wait for death, and I don't want to suffer unnecessary losses." "
If everything goes well, it can be said to be thanks to you and Miss Vera."
Ricardo was also considering the entire plan comprehensively in his mind. His target income also included the progress of the Flower of Evil and the improvement of knight skills. He had to consider harvesting as much malice as possible in this battle.
After all, there may not be many situations like this in the future where the battlefield is neither big nor small, where all the enemies can focus on oneself, and one's individual strength is enough to crush them.
...
half an hour later.
The demolition of private houses left enough sight lines.
Ricardo was on the slope, and using modern ordinary telescopes, he could see the town's hotel, where Baron Wind Wolf was being escorted out.
He was handed over to a group of guards led by the Wind Wolf.
In the distance, dozens of fully armed cavalry and infantrymen were already pouring out of Wind Wolf Castle.
"Let's go. Let's go there now, the time is right."
Ricardo used his clear telescope to seize the opportunity, and he jumped directly onto the war horse.
The enchanted long sword was pulled out from the scabbard. The frost blue magic circuit on the long sword was activated, and the cavalry next to it blew a whistle.
This small army slowly moved towards the midpoint between the Wind Wolf Territory Castle and the hotel.
Behind Ricardo are the costumed knights.
On the flank is Teresa, who is wearing a fully enclosed black helmet. She leads the enchanted vine armor team, and the evil flower spirit puppet is also among them.
In addition, there were four soldiers with good shooting skills in the castle who were also temporarily given the right to wear enchanted vine armor and use modern composite crossbows, riding horses beside them.
When the army was about a hundred meters away from Baron Wind Wolf, Baron Wind Wolf's guard was only a few dozen meters away from the army led by Wind Wolf.
Ricardo raised his hand.
"Longbow infantry, fire arrows!"
Some of the infantrymen at the rear of the cavalry regiment raised their longbows and started firing arrows at Baron Wind Wolf's guard.
"Team Teresa, fire the crossbow, and I'll use the magic to energize it!"
The effective range of modern composite crossbows is shorter, but this problem can be solved by Ricardo's enchantment trick.
Dozens of arrows flew towards Baron Windwolf's guards!
