Chapter 2545: Battle before the city
Hame City is a large city. In its earliest days, it was an important northern town of Saint Vicoia. With the establishment of Bell Mountain City, its importance declined. Although it has lost its former status and the city walls and buildings are old, it is still a sizable city.
There is a strange building in the city of Hamei. It is a huge building and two giant blue gears, one large and one small. This building and gears have existed since the city was founded, and have been rebuilt many times during the period. After reconstruction, the appearance has changed a lot from the original one, but the nickname "Gear City" is still spread among the residents.
Iron King Lahar looked at the big city located on the plain in the distance with his telescope. The originally tall city walls seemed very low under the scale of this city. He looked at the huge double-ring gear, and saw St. Piccolo's air cavalry and two small airships in the sky. They were both scouts sent by the city.
"Have Valdod and his men not arrived yet?" Iron King Laharl knew that the Rhine Blade's troops were still on their way south, so he said this deliberately to show off his ability.
Nada, the newly appointed female adjutant of the Margery Knights, stood beside her wearing a black magic robe with the left half black and the right half: "Iron King, the royal army is still behind, you don't want to fight before they come. Let’s attack this city first?”
Lahar said lightly: “It doesn’t matter if we fight a dozen, my Margery Knights have the strength.”
Nada held her staff again. He took two steps closer and reminded: " We are here to assist King Quan in his campaign, and there is no need to be the main force in the vanguard. Besides, King Quan originally planned to join forces before making plans, so we should not take this risk."
< br>Lahar glanced at the adjutant sideways: "Are you commanding or am I commanding? Who is the leader of Margery?"
"Iron King, I didn't mean this."
"Humph." Lahar said dissatisfied: "Nada, as a woman, you'd better shut up about the war. I know that the deputy king asked you to bring someone over to act as my adjutant in the name of replacing the wounded. In fact, They are not worried about me carrying a heavy army. They are not only afraid that I will become a thug of the Creation King Power, but also worried that I will damage this elite cavalry. Please reply to me. I told the king and deputy king that Iron King Lahar still knew who he was, but since they agreed that I would lead the army to go out with the king, they should not dictate how to decide on the battlefield. They are trained by me, Lahar, and I care more about any losses than they do. Huh?" He saw something moving in the direction of Hamei City.
After a while, spies from the Knights came back and reported that the enemy's troops had appeared in large numbers and seemed to be preparing to engage in a head-on battle with their Margarite soldiers.
Nada immediately reminded again: "Iron King, there are many fresh troops of Saint Bikoya in Hamei City. According to the royal power's intelligence, the seriously injured people who have suffered from the disease have all moved to the South Valley, and those who stayed in the city There should be only a few patients with mild symptoms. Our troops are at a disadvantage, so it is best not to fight."
The more Lahar heard what she said, the more he wanted to fight, and sneered again. : "Oh, what do you know? When two armies are fighting, their momentum is superior. Don't think that they have more soldiers and officers. If they don't have momentum, they will lose half of them first. When panic spreads in the army, as soon as my cavalry arrives, they will go Running away from the wind is similar to those sick chickens with weak feet."
"The panic can be contained," Nada still advised: "As long as there are a few enemy troops. A good psychic mage can cast away the fear in the hearts of soldiers. With the national strength of Saint Bikoya, there must be such a mage in the army." Lahar thought for a while and said: "The effect of psychic magic is not invincible. . When fear takes root in the heart and the magic of the mind can blind me for a while, the effect will eventually fade. You see, they only dare to call out from afar in an attempt to scare away my cavalry. Soldiers, haha. Commander, order the teams to prepare for a tough battle, and remind them to pay attention to the enemy's air cavalry. Also, when fighting later, be careful not to enter the range of the enemy's magic rock cannons, those outside the city. The floating diamond-shaped stone is controlled by humans and can fly and attack with magic. But don’t worry too much, because we are not afraid of magic.”
"Yes." The herald sent his men to leave, and the flags in the army also changed, showing the status of each team.
Laharl did not attack. He was waiting for his opponent to come over. He wanted to keep a relatively safe distance and hide outside the enemy's fortifications, even though his position was still far away from Hamei City. More than thirty kilometers, this is a slightly embarrassing distance. But he believed that since the enemy came out, they would not just stand under the city wall and howl, they would definitely take the initiative.
What he expected was indeed good. After more than half an hour in formation, Saint Bikoya's army made new moves. A scout came back to report that Saint Bikea was leaving the city with the newly formed Young Lion Army, led by the blue lion Nuga. According to Fried's intelligence in the royal capital, although the Young Lion Army is a new army, a considerable number of its officers and soldiers are veterans. They were once subordinates of supporters of the former King Radat. After the army was broken up and rebuilt, a new army was formed. After the Dorenter incident, they were sent to the center of the disaster to inspect the situation, and also participated in the rescue of natural disasters.
"The Green Lion Nuga, I have heard of this name. Fried mentioned him. He is Zalberg's loyal dog. He seems to be a powerful guy." Iron King Lahar He has a high status in the Storm National Army, and he also wants to meet the enemy's famous generals in an upright manner.
Nujia walked to the front of the military formation, gathered magic power in his hands, and thrust the Titan Halberd into the ground with all his strength. There was a rumble of thunder in the sky immediately, and seven lightning bolts struck down on the head of the halberd, causing thorn-like thunderstorms to shoot out from the halberd, and the electric current was difficult to dissipate for a while.
"I know that you have been ostracized in the past few years." Nujia said to his officers and soldiers: "You have done all the hard work. You have complaints and dissatisfaction. You think it is because the previous commander was on the wrong team. , it’s not your responsibility to bear the consequences. Now, I don’t ask for these reasons. Just say that you want to change your current situation, and let your Majesty know your loyalty from this battle. Only loyalty can bring about change, do you understand?”
“Got it~”
"Do you know?" Nujia yelled again.
The whole army shouted: "I know!"
"Okay, now..." Nujia turned around and pointed in the direction of the Margery Knights, who were far in front of him and could not be seen with the naked eye, "...it's time to prove myself!"
< br>The adjutant used rhythm magic at the right time to shout: "The whole army, charge in an arrow-shaped array~! Let these villagers know that the military power of the empire cannot be violated~!"
