Chapter ninety-ninth(1/2)
A sound of "Bang——" suddenly sounded, and the war blade that originally stabbed Robert's chest suddenly shifted its angle after a cluster of sparks appeared.
Akanos's final blow did not penetrate Robert's chest as expected, but although the deflected blade did not hit the vital point, it still carved an exposed wound under Robert's ribs. Robert's body
Even the thick leather armor did not block the cutting of this serrated blade. The leather armor was like a layer of paper and neatly cracked under the blade. Under the stimulation of severe pain, Robert became furious.
He slashed Akanos on the shoulder with his halberd in an attempt to kill him.
Due to the protection of the centurion armor, Robert did not cut off Akanos' shoulder as he wished. After all, the sharp halberd was just an ordinary cast iron material. It did not go further than leaving a scar on the armor.
The damage was done, and the blow also caused some cracks on the halberd's ax blade. However, the momentum caused by the violent chop still knocked the centurion with his last breath to the ground. Now, Akano
Si no longer had the strength to get up, so she collapsed defenselessly in front of the enemies. The only thing in her body was her pair of blood-red lips that were slightly closed continuously, indicating that Akanos had not yet completely breathed her last.
The angry Robert seemed to be overly stimulated by the pain. He eased the pain in his ribs a little and then glared maliciously at the source of the sound. At the entrance of the fortress wall, a man was riding on a horse.
The young man slowly put down the musket in his hand.
Robert was just about to open his mouth and curse a few words. After all, the other party's behavior just seemed to him like he was trying to take credit. But just before he opened his mouth, he suddenly saw Brighton, who was also riding a horse and stopped there.
Nosk. Both of them were walking side by side. It was obvious that this young man had a lot of background, so Robert quickly closed his mouth and smiled at the young man, indicating that he was grateful for his life-saving grace.
The young man on the horse is naturally Aledo Solis, because after learning that the war was coming to an end, in order to boost morale, he resolutely came to the fortress to comfort the soldiers despite the opposition of his subordinates. Just now
He was also very surprised by this scene. After all, in his eyes he only saw a "monster" covered in blood who was about to attack a reinforcement dressed as a stranger, so he subconsciously took the special rifle from his back and shot the opponent.
This rifle is different from the smoothbore flintlock rifles used by other infantrymen. The conspicuous lever and metal parts behind the barrel indicate that this rifle has a pull-back structure, so Aledo has to wait until he takes the gun to shoot.
During this process, he did not load the ammunition from the muzzle like other infantrymen. Moreover, after shooting, he quickly pulled the bolt to open the barrel of the gun, then quickly removed a piece of black paper scraps from it, and then put it back.
A ball of paper was stuffed in, then the gun was closed and the gun was on alert again.
However, due to the special nature of the situation, no one present paid attention to the sudden appearance of His Highness Aledo and the firearm in his hand, because the bloody Akanos in front of him was the focus of everyone's attention at this moment.
Robert knew that this was a big shot coming, so he calmed down, and then came to Akanos who was almost out of breath. But he was not in a hurry to kill Akanos who fell to the ground directly.
Instead, he walked around in a circle first, intending to use this to express his ease as a winner. Although Robert looked like he had a chance to win at the moment, he was still cautiously guarding Akanos on the ground in his heart. After all,
At this moment, in his mind, the Wolf Claws... or the people in the Wolf Group are all a group of monsters. Although he would have thought so in the past, hearsay and personal experience are two different things, so although Akanos seems to be in trouble now
, but who knows whether this monster will pounce on him and bite him when he is careless.
Robert held his halberd tightly and circled around Akanos before returning to his original position. Then he took a look at Akanos's neck, waved the halberd vigorously and hit her throat hard.
Cut it down hard.
"Kacha——"
This blow was very clean. Although Akanos's head was still partially connected to his body by flesh and skin, the feel from the handle of the halberd could be concluded that this blow directly severed Akanos' spine.
, so Akanos is finally completely dead at this moment.
But what is surprising is that the moment Akanos' neck was cut off, the blood that spurted out from the incision splashed directly onto Robert's face, and accidentally hit him in both eyes.
The effect of the drug had not completely dissipated. The hot blood caused Robert's eyes to temporarily lose vision. The blood felt like boiling water burning Robert's eyeballs and skin.
Under the stimulation of severe pain, Robert fell to the ground in embarrassment. But fortunately, he was also a centurion and always carried some life-saving things with him. So after he subconsciously fell to the ground, he quickly recovered from his body.
He took out a bottle of potion from his pocket and splashed it on his face.
The cool potion instantly cleared away the burning sensation, and at the same time, Robert's vision gradually began to recover. At this time, Aledo and Brighton also arrived under the vigilance of a group of guards.
Aledo couldn't bear to look at the head that was not completely cut off, and then he endured the discomfort and took a closer look at the mutilated body. Although the flesh and blood damage on the surface of the body was already very serious, the wolf
The shape of the regimental centurion's breastplate clearly showed that this person was a wolf regiment centurion, and also a female centurion. This fact made Aledo even more surprised.
In addition, he was also very curious that the centurion's armor seemed to be different in some details and patterns from those he had seen before, and the serrated blade in the female centurion's hand also made Aledo curious.
.After all, he had directly hit the war blade with his gun before. However, he used his scabbard to open the centurion's palm and took a closer look at the war blade. Not even a single bullet mark was left on it.
"Does this person have a name?" Aledo stood up and asked Brighton.
"The female centurion...probably that person...it should be her. Anyway, there are not many women in the entire Michael Corps who can be centurions." Brydon thought thoughtfully for a while.
Then he said: "Looking at the armor, it should be that of the Vali Wolf Claw Centurion. The name seems to be..."
"Akanos..." Robert suddenly came over and said.
"Oh... yes, that's it." Brighton clapped his hands and said, "A centurion from the second-class centurion. He is not very famous, so I almost forgot about it."
Although Brighton's words were talking about Akanos, in Robert's ears, they sounded like he was mocking himself for being worse than an "unfamous" guy, so he felt a little ashamed and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
. But Brighton himself didn’t mean this, and he didn’t care about Robert’s feelings. At this moment, his eyes had moved to the fortress in front, and he could see from the windows above and the sound of gunshots.
It can be known that the internal battle is not completely over yet.
But despite this, the result will not change anymore, because the battle has reached the end, and there are probably only a handful of enemies inside that can resist, and reinforcements from the rear are pouring into this small fortress continuously, including many from
Various types of infantry at Ramon Fortress.
Although the Camon Wolverines are a centurion in name only, the population inside the Camon Fortress is actually over a thousand people. In addition to the centurion and some old, weak, women and children, there are actually no less than 500 fighting soldiers left.
Although they may not all be elites like the Centurion, for Nosk, which lacks heavy infantry, this group of people is much stronger than the local infantry of Nosk, even with the ax on the battlefield.
Besides, even if they don't come, Aledo's musketeers will just spend more time, and the outcome of this battle will not change.
"Do you want to go in?" Brighton asked Aledo eagerly after hearing the sound of gunshots in the fortress.
Aledo looked up at the sun in the sky, then took out a pocket watch from his pocket and checked the time and said: "No, let's go out. The army needs to camp here to rest and set off to attack the North Army Camp in an hour.
"
"So urgent?" Brighton looked at Aledo walking out and followed him and asked: "Are you sure you can still attack the North Army Camp today? It's stronger over there than here... you..."
"It's okay." After Aledo mounted his horse, he looked at the plains outside the fortress, then raised his hand and pointed at several large vehicles covered with tarpaulins in the distance and said: "I did underestimated Michael's fortress before, so
This time I plan to use these guys in advance."
Brighton also looked at the motorcade in the distance, and he nodded very excitedly because he knew what was covered under those tarps. It was specially prepared by Aledo for the attack on Fort Maria.
The artillery, and he also gave it an inexplicable name, called "Hercules Artillery".
Brighton has never been absent from every test firing of the Chief Cannon before, because this is our biggest reliance against the Maria Fortress, which is known as "indestructible for thousands of years." And these cannons were supposed to be the trump card and had to wait until
They can only appear when attacking Fortress Maria. After all, as a trump card, appearing in advance allows the enemy to know in advance, so that he can make corresponding defense preparations. But the current situation is not clear, and Aledo takes out them at this moment.
In other words, Ming Aledo wants to make a quick decision.
After all, the losses in the first two battles were considerable in every sense of the word. For this reason, the Norsk army could no longer afford it, so Brighton also activated the nails that his grandfather planted here. This is completely
In other words, the Duke of Nosk will accompany Aledo to fight to the end. Aledo also knows this very well, so after he and Brighton resolve the misunderstanding, they need to re-discuss the deployment and arrangements for future battles.
changed.
"We need to capture the Northern Barracks before evening, because the high ground over there is the most suitable as a fort, so we have to capture it no matter what." Aledo turned to look at the area outside the fortress wall.
The shadow of Fortress Maria, a huge building, then said decisively: "We will launch a siege of Fortress Maria at dawn tomorrow!"
"Hmm...Okay, but I still say the same thing." Brighton said to Aledo with a serious face: "Three days, we only have three days. If we can't capture Fortress Maria, we will retreat quickly.
, If we delay it any longer, we may be cut off from our escape route..."
Although Aledo does not elaborate on your remarks, he is still very calm now. Based on the existing intelligence and a brief analysis of the internal situation of the Principality of Michael, his own situation is indeed not good. Because until now,
There is no intelligence coming back from the central area of the principality, and the spies sent there for investigation have not returned yet, so Aledo is not sure whether the corrupt nobles of the principality have directly rebelled, or he is vaguely worried about it.
The army of the corrupt nobles was vulnerable and had already been defeated by Archduke Michael's army.
In short, the situation was unclear, so Aledo had no choice but to prepare for the worst. So what he needs to do now is to go to the injured camp outside to express condolences, and then wait for the battle in the fortress to be completely over before taking care of him.
All kinds of questions about the surviving soldiers and the soldiers who died in the battle. And just when Aledo was about to ride out, he accidentally saw the orc captain Tora who was being carried outside on a stretcher.
"Are you okay?" Aledo dismounted anxiously and brought Tola to the side of the stretcher, and then looked at her injured abdomen with heartache.
"It's okay, General..." Although Tora wanted to stand up and salute, Aledo forcibly pushed her back and let her lie down. In desperation, Tora had no choice but to obey Aledo's instructions awkwardly.
"How is her injury?" Aledo asked the ambulanceman carrying the stretcher.
"Your Excellency, General, Captain Tola's abdomen was cut by a sharp blade. Although the internal organs were not injured, the damage to the wound was very serious, so he needs to be taken back and repaired with healing magic." The medical soldier straightened his back and replied.
Aledo was relieved after hearing that Tora's injuries were not serious, but he was still curious about how Tora could be injured like this. After he learned from Tora about the battle that just happened in the courtyard,
, Aledo once again became interested in the beheaded female centurion.
After sending Tora away, Aledo rode back on his horse and looked back at the body of Akanos, which was still thrown in the same place. Aledo was very interested in this female centurion whom he met for the first time. After all, in
Here in the Principality of Michael, the status of centurion represents almost as much honor and status as Baron Martial. Although Brighton said that she is not very famous, being able to become a centurion means that she is powerful, and
Although her face had long been stained with blood, Aledo discovered before she fell to the ground that the other party actually looked pretty good. If the prominent muscles on her body were not counted, this centurion should be considered a centurion.
She looks like a beauty.
A powerful and beautiful female warrior, everyone will have a little reverie about her. But it is a pity that Aledo had no chance to rescue the other party, because when he saw Akanos, the other party was already on the verge of death.
Moreover, the unknown guy also chopped off her head savagely, so Aledo would be more or less disappointed in not being able to get Akanos and change his prejudice against the beheader.
Looking at Robert again, who was holding up the head of Akanos to show off, Aledo said to the adjutant next to him with some displeasure: "Go and bury the centurion here. This man is not an unknown person."
Others...give her the appropriate etiquette."
Although the adjutant was a little confused, he still obeyed the order and went to Akanos's body. Bryton, on the other hand, looked at Aledo from the horse and smiled wrongly and said:
"Have you taken a liking to that centurion?"
Many of the guards around Aledo looked at him unexpectedly. It seemed that they did not quite believe that their commander was a mediocre man who was greedy for beauty. After all, the number of musketeers killed in this battle was not small.
To be continued...
