Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 493 The Movement of the Tower of the North Wind

The flying dragon raised its slender neck, and its leather wings were folded by its side, with a metallic streamer.Their sharp claws were firmly nailed to the bricks and tiles on the top of the tower, and they kept roaring towards the griffins circling in the sky, making unpleasant noises.

These flying units from the southwest of La Rochelle belonged to Baker Herman, the eldest son of Frost and Snow Grand Duke Jenris Herman, who fought in the west of the kingdom like his father did back then.

Called by the conscription order, he also led his army to the north to support northern Xinjiang.

Claude Atley covered his ears and walked quickly across the street, stepped into the Tower of the North Wind, and went straight to the middle of the Mage Tower, where the temporarily transformed military conference room was located.Before he opened the door, he heard a loud voice from inside:

"What do you mean? Let us go to this place where the bullshit desolate wilderness is stationed? I have been in northern Xinjiang for a month, and I haven't even seen His Majesty's face once. I help you clean up the skulls around here every day, so I want you to fly dragons." Legion is useless?!"

Immediately afterwards, the door of the conference room was slammed open, and a general walked out of the conference room in a huff. Two guards came out and wanted to keep him, but he pushed them aside.

Atley sneered in his heart. Barron Marcellus was a general of the Duke Marcellus family in the south, and he was "counted" in the same class—in fact, Barron Marcellus should have been two years earlier than him. Graduated in [-], but repeated two consecutive years due to poor grades.

Although they graduated in the same year as him, their test scores were still among the bottom ones. In the end, they finished their studies relying on their family connections, and then went home to enjoy the glory and wealth.

The combat effectiveness of troops led by such people can be imagined.The "Volunteer Knights" led by him suffered large-scale injuries not long after arriving in northern Xinjiang. Before fighting the skeletons, more than half of the horses froze to death, and the Volunteer Knights directly became a volunteer infantry regiment .

As for cleaning up the skeletons... just kidding, he, Baron Marcellus, probably hasn't even been out of the Tower of the North Wind, and the amount of wine he helped clean up the Tower of the North Wind's inventory is almost the same.

Atley reached out to help the two soldiers who had fallen to the ground, and the soldiers bowed gratefully: "General Atley, you came back at just the right time, and you happened to be holding a military meeting to discuss the distribution of the garrison."

"Oh..." Atley nodded, and then walked into the meeting room.

A large number of legions called by the call will be gathered in the Tower of the North Wind, and then dispatched.Several batches have been transferred to Lovisa and Alderney before. At this time, the number of legions stationed in the Tower of the North Wind has exceeded the carrying capacity of the Tower of the North Wind. It is not surprising to redistribute.

The room was full of generals of various armies. Atley stood on tiptoe and saw that on the big map hanging in front of him, the red dots representing the legions were almost spread out one by one, which was in line with the northern part of the Maitland Mountains. Xinjiang is parallel.

What does it mean?
This picture made Ateli frown, and he didn't understand what the plan was.

The situation in northern Xinjiang is fairly stable now, but there are strange things everywhere.

Although the undead army can't take the two cities of Lovisa and Alderney, but because they have cleared the rest of the towns and strongholds on the frontier of La Rochelle long ago, there are some places where they can enter the northern border openly with such a long border. .

But the strange thing is that so far, the undead have only mixed in on a small scale, and have not mobilized the army to drive straight in. In fact, from Atley's point of view, the undead can go south along the east or west line of northern Xinjiang, and then attack the north wind tower, but the undead did not do so.

The undead stronghold in the southwest of the Tower of the North Wind that he led the Bright Wing Infantry Regiment this time was the necromancer mixed in, but he was taken a step ahead by the young lord.

Regarding this current situation, La Rochelle is not without speculation. The most recognized statement is that there are also differences among the undead. The radicals believed that it would not be worthwhile for them to spend time with Lovisa and Alderney, and the useless loss of skeletons would cause their troops to decline rapidly, so they should cut off La Rochelle's retreat first, and then consider it.

Such contradictions and differences made the undead army stop its offensive.La Rochelle's border defense force makes them have to do their best no matter which option they choose, otherwise the loss outweighs the gain.

Stuck in front of the Maitland Mountains, there is no way to provide enough supplies for the undead.

If Cyril knew the conjecture of the La Rochelle military, he probably couldn't help but applaud him-this is also the case in history. The undead in October 1440 was at a major turning point.

If it is said that the original invasion of the army of the undead was to eliminate the conflicts in the undead country that have been increasing rapidly after the fall of the kingdom of shadows established by Lord Hartle, it seems to be a mighty force, but in fact it is a mess inside.

Then, after October of 1440, the Lich Sandro reorganized the interior of the undead and established the half-moon council, which restored the undead to a consistent iron barrel army.

This period of time can be regarded as the time when the pressure on La Rochelle's border defense is the lightest.

However, in today's world, due to Sandro's heavy damage, whether the undead can be reorganized as in history, and then the Keltir Dark Creature Alliance will be established in February of next year 1441 is another mystery.

Atley is just a general of the troops under the Grand Army, and he really doesn't have much say in such a meeting.The speaker on the stage was the owner of the Wyvern above his head, Baker Herman, who is also the commander-in-chief of the Tower of the North Wind.

He listened to Baker Herman report the names of the legions one by one, and then pointed out on the map the area where they were going to be assigned, and then there was a round of protests, and then a quarrel.

Most of the generals are not satisfied with transferring themselves to a small village that looks empty and empty, who knows if there are any small villages occupied by undead.However, Baker's attitude was extremely tough. He repeatedly emphasized his status as the commander-in-chief of the backup force and the person in charge of the recruitment order, and finally ordered them to leave within three days.

Among them, there were no more generals who slammed the door, and most of the generals left silently after taking orders.It didn't take long for the crowded room to be emptied, and Atley also saw the area in charge of Baron Marcellus on the map—a small place in the easternmost part of Northern Xinjiang.

No wonder he didn't want to go.

He squinted his eyes and searched on the map, and now a line was almost filled, with only a few vacancies left, and Baker Herman's voice became faster and faster until his name was called:
"Claude Atley."

"Ah?" Atley was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to be pointed out, and then raised his hand in response: "Commander, I'm here."

"You are responsible for the remaining troops of the Snowy Owl Legion stationed in the Tower of the North Wind. They are transferred to the northwest of the Tower of the North Wind and stationed in Yoder Town, waiting for orders."

"No, this..." Atley opened his mouth - he was just a deputy commander of a legion under the Snowy Owl Legion, how could he suddenly be qualified to lead the remaining troops of the entire legion?

Although most of the Snowy Owl Legion's troops are already in Lovisa and Alderney, there are still three to five thousand remaining...

"This is what your legion commander Heywood said personally. Do you need me to repeat his letter?" Baker Herman whispered with displeasure, causing Atley to immediately shake his head and accept the order loudly.

He carefully looked at the area he was in charge of on the map...

Isn't this just north of the three undead strongholds I just visited?

----------

Cyril didn't know that the Tower of the North Wind issued so many transfer orders in one breath at this time, almost dispatching all the garrison of the Tower of the North Wind.

This is three days after their Siliki army won the first victory against the undead. The Siliki army, including the half lizards of the newly joined Dragon Legion, have all moved from the dilapidated Snow Grass Village to the three villages they worked so hard to build. Stronghold, and started a vigorous building plan——

The place marked on the map is named Baihua Plain - it is said that in spring, beautiful white flowers will bloom here.With a wave of his hand, Cyril took advantage of the situation and collectively referred to the three unnamed villages as "White Flower Stronghold".

The three strongholds are regarded as a whole, and the sentry towers built between the strongholds transmit information.Such a large area is too large for 1000 people, so the army's activities are concentrated in the northernmost and easternmost strongholds.

As for the remaining two cities... Ordinary soldiers only know that their lord ordered all the bones to be gathered in the westernmost stronghold after the war.

Cyril yawned, sitting on the necromancer's fortress that was barely repaired, watching the little girl below bouncing around and waving the "harpoon", piling up piles of bones like shoveling snow Get together, then squat on the ground and start "assembling".

That harpoon was naturally the Bone Staff from the Necromancer.

"[Bai Yuan]: The Lich headed north, it waited bitterly, frozen in the cold wind.

It is said that if you listen carefully, you can hear the mournful cry. "

This wand with no grade or head was finally handed over to Caroline, which made the little girl very happy—although it was not used by her to arrest rabbits as Cyril thought, but It is also a good hand to deal with a large number of bones.

This stronghold was used by Cyril to train Caroline, and most of the thousands of skeletons were gathered here.

The origin of this idea has to start with Caroline spelling out three-headed and six-armed skeletons after the war——

The three-headed and six-armed skeleton was nearly two and a half tall, and looked clumsy and heavy. Cyril almost laughed angrily when he saw it at first sight.

"Caroline, you're messing around again!"

Let you summon skeleton soldiers, what are you doing to me?Building Lego bricks?Assembling Transformers?

Don't the Necromancers always use their mental power, stamp their feet, poke their buttocks, poke their staffs, raise their hands, and shout mommy mommy to coax, and a bunch of skeletons stand up with a clatter?
How come you can make some moths for me?

Cyril really didn't know which necromancer still had the procedure of "assembly" before summoning the skeleton, and the definition of "spirituality" of the undead did not have the process of "assembly".

Spiritualism, the function is to call the soul of the dead, so that the corpse can move again, the corpse itself is a complete individual, even if it is missing an arm or a leg, it is a complete individual, there is no such thing as taking someone else's leg Bones added this statement to himself.

But, Caroline!In the spell book I gave you, the process of spiritualism is clearly written!What are you doing!
But when Caroline saw Cyril approaching aggressively, she stood up with puffed cheeks, stretched out her arms to block her three-headed and six-armed skeleton, and prevented Cyril from approaching:

"I haven't finished fighting yet, you are not allowed to make trouble!"

"I asked you to summon ten skeletons, did you summon them?" Cyril frowned.

Caroline waved her hand angrily, but heard a rattling sound in the pile of bones beside her. The ten skeletons stood up in a daze, waved to Cyril, and then fell down again with a rattling sound. , Re-heaped into a pile of bones.

Caroline pulled her lower eyelids with her index finger, stuck out her tongue and made a face at Cyril: "Beep, go away, I'll call you over after I finish spelling."

Now Cyril was excited. He stared at the obviously top-heavy skull, and couldn't help but said, "You can make this skeleton move?"

"Of course it can move." Caroline was piling up the hand bones for the three-headed and six-armed skeleton, perfecting its last arm: "Ah Bai is very powerful, Cyril, I don't know much, sister Mia will definitely praise me. "

Cyril was stunned - he knew why Caroline suddenly showed such dissatisfaction with herself.

It turned out that it was because he saw Caroline's skeleton for the first time, and directly said that she was messing around-but he couldn't blame him, after all, whoever came would think that Caroline was playing around, right?

Oh, it seems that Miss Mia really can't.

Cyril fantasized about this scene. Miss Mia breathed hot air into her hands, and then applied it to Caroline's red hands, and was dragged by Caroline to run around the skeleton, asking, "So Skull can still fight like this, Caroline is awesome."

But the words have already been put here, and of course Cyril will not be soft-spoken, and then he took out the "harpoon":
"If you can make it move today, I'll give you this fork on the spot!"

Caroline's eyes lit up when she saw the harpoon staff, and she drooled greedily: "Really, really, you swear, you swear."

Cyril smiled and raised his hand and said, "Danya is on top, Nora is on top, if Caroline can make this skeleton move today, this staff will belong to her—"

"Heh heh heh, take care." Caroline rolled up her sleeves, exposing her slender arms to the cold wind, but she didn't feel cold at all.

She stood at the skeleton's feet, put her hands to her mouth, and shouted like a small trumpet:
"Resuscitate, my creation, Ah Bai!"

There was no sound.

Cyril was inexplicably relieved - after all, spiritualism also needs to learn some basic methods, isn't it because you are Twilight Shadow, you can turn skeletons into Transformers casually.

But the harpoon had to be given to her, just to soothe her wounded heart.

Just as he was thinking, he was about to step forward with this magic staff, but he heard a sound in front of him, similar to the sound of a knee joint.

Immediately afterwards, the skeleton with three heads and six arms, two and a half tall, supported its body with its six arms and stood up.

The three ferocious white bones were dangling, looking extremely funny because of the proportions, but Cyril Que couldn't laugh at all.

Because in the three heads, the jumping soul fire was lit at the same time——

That is a symbol of the birth of the autonomous consciousness of the undead.
