Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 720 It takes a few steps to pack an elephant into a box

12 month 23 day.

The people of St. Emma didn't waste too much time in mobilizing troops, and it was impossible for them to leave more time for the people of La Rochelle to wait for reinforcements.

Although Hylia, Parkri, and St. Hytel suffered consecutive defeats, and the troops that initially scattered into La Rochelle were blocked, the original army of more than 8 people now has only about [-] left.

But their opponents, the La Rochelles, were equally understrength.Although the counterattack launched by St. Hytel has achieved excellent results, it has killed nearly 1 people at the cost of 2 people. The support of the Amasir army led by him is no more than 5000 people.

The number of 5000 people is poor.

The only advantages for the people of La Rochelle are their walls and garrisons, and the possible food crisis for the people of Au Saint-Emma.

Cyril stood on the city wall of St. Heitel, and the magic props blessed by the eagle eye technique allowed him to clearly see the scene of the landing of the people of St. Emma.

A huge transport ship slowly approached the nearshore area, and hit the shallows in a "grounded" manner.The hatch opened, and groups of 2000 people poured out of the hatch one by one, quickly covering the entire coastal shoal.

The heavy armored soldiers in black and bright armor are the main force of the Hilaria Legion, and the black and silver-gray armor is the equipment configuration of the private army of the nobles in the west of Ao San Emma.

The huge black dragon flag is fluttering in the cold sea breeze, the huge dragon body seems to take off, and the wings are spread out, and the dragon's breath will be sprayed out in the next second; the aristocratic private army with various flowers as the prototype pattern The flag surrounds the dragon flag, like a giant dragon flying over the scattered blessings.

After the infantry took the lead in landing, the remaining cavalry brigade of Ao San Emma also lined up on the edge of the army formation - they must not be the No. Fortified position behind the city of St. Heitel.

After the cavalry brigade landed, what went ashore was the Earth Dragon Legion that Ao San Emma was proud of.However, after suffering several losses and being annihilated by the La Rochelle people, the two earth dragon brigades, the people of Ao San Emma no longer dare to be so confident in their earth dragon army.

What's more, this is still a siege battle. The earth dragon army's favorite is fighting in the wild. Their strong physique has no effect on the city walls-these thick walls have been passed through several times during the smelting stage of the city bricks. Even if it is a real giant dragon coming to hit it hard, it is impossible to smash it away casually, let alone the descendants of its descendants, the earth dragon with thin blood.

Their role is similar to that of the cavalry corps, and they will attack the expanded defense positions outside the city.

The last thing to go ashore was the war weapons of Ao San Emma. The parts of the huge "siege vehicles" were transported from the transport ships to the coast, and then quickly assembled by skilled craftsmen.

Not long after, the tens of meters high siege vehicle was built.Specialized beast masters drove huge camel beasts, and pulled such a siege vehicle to slowly move towards St. Haitel.

At the same time, a siege catapult with a terrifyingly long throwing arm was also transported towards the city. This kind of catapult is different from the catapult that hit the position. They are larger in size and are specially used to attack the city wall, bombard the city gate, tower.

"The Red Flame God punishes the giant siege catapult." Cyril heard the name of this kind of siege catapult from Azike, and the latter couldn't help clicking his tongue, "How dare the people of Osan Emma be willing to use such a thing?" The child was transported across the sea... He said he looked down on La Rochelle, but his actual actions did not mean contempt at all."

"If they hadn't been contemptuous, they wouldn't have been defeated so easily by us." Cyril shrugged, "I think they just want to show off the capacity of their transport ships, and simply stuff more things that are difficult to transport ——Speaking of which, is this kind of catapult a great threat to us?"

"With this kind of thing, we don't want to arrange the defenders safely and securely on the east wall facing the coast." Atzke said seriously, "Their ultra-long-range projection strike ability and amazing destructive power can easily Killing and injuring a large number of defenders, the tower may even collapse directly if it is hit directly by a stone."

"If it has any shortcomings, it is probably difficult to transport, too heavy, the attack interval is long, and the 'catapults' projected are too expensive-the catapults used by the complete Red Flame God Punishment giant siege catapult are all specially made The alchemy props are composed of tens of thousands of enchanted small stones, which will explode when they hit the ground, covering an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters."

This kind of description made Cyril think of the "frost giant" who threw huge stones from the distant woods when he guarded the North Wind Tower.The two undoubtedly have similarities in purpose, and the power of the catapults of the Orsan Emma people is even more powerful than that of the frost giants.

"One, two, three... seven catapults, a total of seven catapults of this order of magnitude are enough to attack the provincial capital, but it is too wasteful just to attack St. Hytel."

"Atzke, what the people of Osanta Emma need most is money."

"That's true." Atzke smiled wryly, "If these catapults are allowed to enter their range smoothly, then our defense of the city will be at a disadvantage in the early stage-the expanded defense position can only allow St. Without falling into the situation of being besieged, at the same time, we can concentrate the defenders on the east wall, and the catapult can just make us lose this advantage."

"If the Orsan Emma were to send their siege towers under the walls..."

Needless to say, Atsk, Cyril already understood what kind of situation this was for them.

"How were these siege catapults handled in the past?" he asked.

"We can only send death squads with alchemy props to completely destroy those siege catapults. But the people of Ao San Emma often arrange heavy guards, and it is difficult for ordinary teams to approach. As for the special rogues..." Azike raised his eyebrows Picked, "It's not that I have any prejudice against this profession, it's just that it's really too difficult for them to complete such a task. The invisibility technique they rely on for their livelihood cannot find a suitable cover as a cover in such an open terrain, and even more so What's more, large troops often use the 'visualization technique' regularly to break the invisibility..."

"Every battle around the siege catapult is very tragic. Rogues sneaking in, cavalry charging, or even chariot charging may not be successful."

"Oh?" Cyril became interested, "Which one of these plans has the highest success rate?"

"That's still the rogue with the highest success rate."

"So we need a troop of rogues to sneak into the tens of thousands of troops in Osan Emma and blast these catapults?"

"That's what it means, but the success rate is still bleak..."

"Contact Captain Yarlin Amy and Gerald Wharton, and ask Memphel to call our own rogue troops."

"...Didn't you hear what I said earlier? This success rate..."

Before Azike finished speaking, the young Marquis in front of him had already snapped his fingers——

He only saw a piece of pitch black that seemed to flash past the feet of the young Marquis. In just a split second, the guards standing behind the Marquis suddenly disappeared, and the city wall became empty, as if there were no guards at all. The army is stationed here.

"This, this..." Atzke called out twice, and the young Marquis snapped his fingers again. This time, all the garrisons appeared again, but he was dragged into a strange, dark environment. middle.

"To be honest, what your lord is best at is stealthy things like this." Cyril said such shameless words frankly, and Atsk was speechless before recalling that his lord's identity As a knight, there seems to be no similarity between the fighting style and the knight...

"But... are you going to take the risk yourself?" Azik hesitated again, "Master Marquis, this is not the previous battle dominated by the private army of the nobles, this is the main force of the Osan Emma people. The number of professional levels is not small..."

"But I'm already extraordinary." Cyril choked on Atsk again.

"Then... Extraordinary level, there will be no shortage of their extraordinary level?" Atzke emphasized, "That Rowell Oberian is an extraordinary level fighter himself, right?"

"We have more than one Transcendent." Cyril replied, "Let Tower Master O'Brien attract attention from the front, and I will lead the rogue team to dismantle those catapults from the rear, and then retreat, won't it be enough? "

"Is this something that can be done so easily?" Atzke asked.

"Then let me ask you, how many steps does it take to stuff an elephant into a box."

"Stuff the elephant into the box? Why should I stuff the elephant into the box?" Azike muttered under Cyril's gaze, but still counted with his fingers, "Eh, first we need to calculate the size of the elephant, Again, again..."

"Three steps." Cyril counted one, two, three, "One, open the box door, two, stuff the elephant in, three, close the box door—"

"How could the elephant be stuffed directly into the box?" Atzke called again.

"I didn't say how big the box is." Cyril blinked, "Similarly, the steps of blasting the siege engine are that simple."

"As long as the box is big enough."

"Foster Felix!"

"To!"

Scout Foster Felix was called and hurried out of the queue of scouts. The orderly said to him solemnly: "Lord Memphis asks you to gather at the central square of St. Heitel."

"Lord Memphis?" He was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Yes!" Then he spread his legs and ran towards the city of St. Heitel.

He looked around and found that he was not the only one whose name was called out. Nearly one-third of the scouting team was called out. There is no special rogue team in the Siliki army, so they are all organized into scout troops.

Could it be that there are some tasks that need to be performed exclusively by rogues?

The thought that popped up made Foster Felix almost dizzy—this was a large-scale battle against the tens of thousands of troops in Ao San Emma. On such a battlefield, there are actually tasks that require them to complete?
Nora on top!

And when he ran to the central square, he almost suffered a cardiac arrest when he saw the young figure standing on the high platform and lazily watching them with folded arms!

"Hou Hou Hou Hou Hou Hou Lord!"

Could it be that the mission this time was actually issued by the Marquis himself?

"Wake up, Foster, wake up!"

He woke up with the cry of a female voice. The one who woke him up was Candice, a female wanderer with freckles on her face, whose hair and hair color resembled Memphis. She was a fellow trainee with him. Because of admiration for Master Memphis, he dressed up to resemble Memphis.

"Candice, have you been called here too?"

"I am also a wanderer, of course I was called." The latter was a little unhappy, but then excitedly said, "Have you heard the news?"

"information?"

"Over there, the tone revealed by the rogues of the Second Legion's Shadow Lion Wandering Army." Candice said mysteriously, "We are about to go deep into the hinterland of the Austrian Saint Emma's army!"

"Deep into the hinterland? Isn't that going to rush into their tens of thousands of troops!" Foster cried out in fright—the honor belongs to the honor, but this is clearly seeking death!

They learned the rogue technique from elf rogues, and they could obtain better concealment effect in the forest, but when moving on flat ground, the concealment effect was not so good.

And the coastal plain in front of them is definitely not a suitable venue for them to play!
"Yeah, don't you think this is very exciting?" Candice was unaware of their disadvantages, and he kept talking, "Not only us, but also the Second Legion Shadow Lion Wandering Army, the Fifth Legion Dive The shark roaming army is with us, and the mission performed by more than [-] wanderers is one of the best in history!"

"What will our mission be? Is it to assassinate the coach of Saint Emma? Danya, I'm going to pass out just thinking about it!"

"I'm going to pass out too! Hey, Candice, hey, listen to me!" Foster became anxious and shouted, "Do you want to understand, is this a task we can accomplish? Just us If you don’t touch the front of the Austrian St. Emma’s formation, you will be revealed, and you will be chopped into meat by the Austrian St. Emma!”

But Candice looked at him with a strange expression instead: "Aren't we ready to die before we stand on this battlefield?"

"But this is different, it's not like being a scout like before, just collecting information from a distance, this is sending to death, this is sending to die!" Foster became more anxious, "Listen to me, now slip back to the scout team, There is still a chance to go back to Siliki when the time comes—”

"You want to be a deserter?!"

"I don't want your mother not to see you go back!"

Foster screamed anxiously, but the voice stopped abruptly——

Because of that young figure who was still on the high platform just now.

At this time, standing in front of him.
