Chapter 2284 Knights of the Holy Moon
The dawn of the sky was shining, the Gripen Army retreated, and both sides entered a temporary repair period. Anmosi was tightening the city walls and restoring fortifications, while Gripen was tending to the wounded and repairing equipment.
Kulizarid returned to the Chinese army camp and heard about Rodin's assassination and the assassin's escape, and realized that there was something wrong with the problem.
Rodan apologized and said that when he was attacked, the blood-condensed gold that was turned on was not raised to its optimal state. His body was seriously injured and he had to use the power of the realm.
Kulizarid was worried: "The use of the power of the realm will lead to the exposure of Tang Credi. However, your safety is the top priority, so there is no need to blame yourself." Rodin was a little too cautious to protect himself. However, considering that no one can drive his 'ultimate weapon' due to his injury, this kind of stressful self-protection behavior is necessary.
The officers and generals present did not say much about this, nor did they ask many questions. Only Princess Norma said: "The Demon Moon will not be so sensitive. Because the larger the military system, the exchange of information between the various armies and factions is not very flexible. It often happens that what happens to one army is unknown to the other army."
Kulizarid waved his hand and said: "We can't have an optimistic view, Rodan, use the secret seal of memory to immediately inform Tancredi of the matter and let him prepare for a retreat." He said with a cold face: "Knight of the Holy Moon Tuan, Moyue's 'Invincible Spear'!"
Fengse Eagle Wei'er said: "This is me! They had a head-to-head confrontation with the Holy Moon Knights for the first time, allowing them to sneak to this location and escape after the assassination. Even the proud griffin missed it. It was the Thirteen Eagles' negligence."
Jie said coldly: "I don't want to be too harsh on a woman to let her escape. Next time She will not be so lucky."
Kulizarid waved his hand: "This is none of your business. The Thirteen Eagles are what I use to target the Demon Moon's unconventional army, but your role is. Unlike the Holy Moon, the Holy Moon is the spear of the Demon Moon, and your role must be broader and more comprehensive.”
Some officials were worried: "There is a group of people making trouble in the border area between our two countries. They seem to be members of the Knights of the Holy Moon. There will be no problems."
Kulizarid signaled: "Advisor, follow Tell them about the situation in the Holy Month."
Staff. The official has found information about the Knights of the Holy Moon in the copy: "The Knights of the Holy Moon are one of the two strongest knights in the Demon Moon Empire. Traditionally, they were completely controlled by the king, but in the seventeenth century, they were handed over to the queen. . It is also known as the Knights of the Imperial Moon, or the Holy Moon of the Empire, its full name is The recently updated intelligence of the Holy Moon Knights of the Empire shows that the Holy Moon Knights still maintain a strength of a thousand people, with one left and right captain and three deputy captains. They have a station near Anmosidu, and half of them are stationed in the west. capital, half of the personnel stayed in the imperial capital, and one of the three deputy captains was stationed in the imperial capital. The person stays with the queen for a long time to facilitate the command. The Knights of the Holy Moon have a unified mount - a long-tailed demon-belly beast, which is branded with the holy moon pattern of a red background and gold moon. This beast is good at running and is very fast. , full of endurance. The admission standard of the Knights must not be lower than the high level, and no main battles are accepted. 95% of them are knights who are good at using magic. The two people who escaped during this assassination operation were members of the knights. The woman was nicknamed Hajia, and the man was the deputy leader Zircon. These two people are also saints. The two most famous members of the Moon Knights, especially Zircon, who only wear fully enclosed The heavy armor is studded with various gems, including six wheel stones that belong to the Lord of War. These wheel stones were purchased by him or obtained by him, so even though he is a knight, he can still show some domineering power with the wheel stones. Strength. In addition, he is also very proficient in magic, which cannot be said to be extremely good. However, it is said that his combat strength is superior to that of one of the superior group leaders. Due to various reasons, there is only this much information about the Knights of the Holy Moon, and some other fragments. The authenticity of the information cannot yet be determined.”
Kulizarid sat on the chair in front of the table and said: "There are Grand Feather Lords and Excellent Gripens in the country. Members of several knight orders don't have to worry too much." A general asked: "Your Majesty, what is the situation of the next battle? , proceed as originally planned? ”
"Yes. We have the advantage of artillery fire, so let's take advantage of it," Kulizarid said: "Although a prolonged battle is not good for us, we can't rush to attack. We have the huge advantage of the 'ultimate weapon', and they dare not leave the city. We can only continue to devote our troops to the defense of Anmosiddu, so that the deployment of troops in other places will inevitably be weak. , we can leave millions of people here to divert their attention, while the other armies attack everywhere, attack the city, cut off the logistics, remove all intercity transmissions, and completely turn Anmosi into an isolated island. If they do not abandon the defense at this time, they will have to send troops to attack the siege continuously, which is extremely beneficial to our army. In addition, Hanad wants to strengthen the wall. Clearing the country and resisting the city is actually creating a cocoon for himself. The more than 20 million officials and civilians in the city and the refugees from various places will slowly crush him. However, he still has to prevent Yahan from using the "bell of the empire" to defeat him. "
Some people worry: "Would this take too much time and cause accidents? It is better to just use the 'ultimate weapon' '..."
Kulizarid vetoed: "Sometimes the power of a weapon does not lie in how it is used, but in not using it, which is the most terrifying deterrent."
If he didn't say anything else, the 'ultimate weapon' only has many more weaknesses or flaws than the liquid source limiter. It must not be a living thing after all, but a puppet controlled by others. Rodan's time to control the 'Ultimate Weapon' each time was very limited, and Anmosi was so huge that neither the Liquid Source Limiter nor the 'Final Analysis Weapon' could achieve success in one go. If the 'ultimate weapon' loses control in the enemy-controlled area in the city, it will make them passive and expose their flaws.
Now as long as the 'ultimate weapon' is established here, it is equivalent to being in an invincible position, and there is no need to take such a big risk.
...
At the same time, after the rumors of the ‘Bells of the Empire’ spread rapidly in Anmosidu, the homeless residents in the city fell into a state of mental collapse. A large number of residents defied the ban and took to the streets, forcing the city defense to open the door and let people go.
The expansion of rumors made the defenders in the city a little panicked, and the addition of malicious people's exaggeration made the whole city's hearts fluctuate. The middle and lower-level officers began to have doubts about those who knew the situation at the top, and it was difficult for senior military officers and municipal officials to calm the hearts and minds of the military and the people. Firstly, most of them don't know the specific consequences of the 'Empire's Bell', which has always been a secret that only people in the inner circle of decision-makers can know; secondly, they want to use 'a conspiracy created by the enemy' as an excuse. Trying to 'refute rumors' will not convince the public, because people at the core decision-making level know that the rumors are true. Once the bell rings, it will be the death knell. They could not prove that the sound of bells was harmful only to enemies, and they could not prove that the sound of bells did not spread.
