Sword of Daybreaker

After being close to the Rock Fortress, Philip’s regiment was attacked several times – night sneak attacks and daytime obstructions, as Byron felt: the nobles finally began to learn how to fight a real embarrassment. However, they are learning a little late.

The attack plan that the commanders of the Rock Fortress can make is based on the old army. They imagined the Cecil Combat Corps as another aristocratic squad with powerful magical equipment, and based on this, deduced Cecil. The discipline of the people, the way of marching, the way of camping, and the speed of command response, and then to develop various attack plans, the result is naturally no suspense.

Knight Philip admits that the commanders of the Rock Fortress are indeed fighting, but they have failed.

Fire Month 57 Day, on the hottest day of the summer, the flag of the Cecil Combat Corps entered the small plain area in the southern part of the Rock Fortress, one day earlier than originally anticipated.

The enemies in the Rock Fortress seem to have finally given up the initiative to attack. As the Cecil people get closer, they begin to shrink into the fortress. The large, strong, and sentry towers around the fortress are abandoned and are in the Cecil. Before the arrival, he was paid a torch. When Knight Philip stepped on the plains, his camp was even a woodland burned by the enemy.

In the new base camp, Knight Philip left the barracks and patrolled the newly built camp. He looked north, and between the rolling hills, he could clearly see the towering city wall of the meteorite fortress. The city wall is deep and dark, but there is a fantastic magical floating light floating in the sun. The top of the fortress can also see several huge Mage Towers running, the giant rune floating on the top of the tower and the city wall below. It’s a fascinating scene, and this scene is really hard to see in the barren and ruined South.

Knight Philip turned his head again and looked toward a hill behind the camp – the location of the artillery position.

The technical soldiers are transporting the main cannon components to the hills, where they are assembled into fixed siege turrets, assisted by temporary magic effects such as weight loss, and heavy “Justice-I” orbital gun installations. It will be very fast enough to pose a deadly threat to the first city wall of the Rock Fortress, while the remaining few heavy-duty acceleration guns and light cannons will be advanced by the Second Corps to the northwest after the heavy artillery positions are established. The high ground was erected to create a more complete and dense fire coverage.

Covered with artillery to propel the position, one position advances one by one, which is what the Feudal Lord wrote in “Artillery General” and is the most basic and most effective part of the fire application technique, although Knight Philip It was also the first time to use it for practice, but he knew it would be fruitful.

The Rock Fortress has already appeared in the eyes of the Cecil. In other words, the Cecil is now under the eyelids of the Rock Fortress.

The distance between the two sides has gone too far. At least, in terms of the range of the “Justice-I” orbital acceleration gun, the Cecil army is too close, and Knight Philip understands the cannons he has, when the conditions are right. Those cannons can even attack enemies outside the line of sight – as long as the ballistics are calculated, it can be converted to the meteorite fortress directly on the edge of the hills without having to step on the plain.

But in this battle, he doesn’t have to pull the distance so far, nor can he pull the distance so far.

After returning to the camp, the young Knight looked towards the military map hung in the big account. The map drawn by the Feidal Lord himself had surprising accuracy. On the map, he could clearly see the meteorite fortress. As well as his own location, you can also see the terrain around the meteorite fortress. He saw the Dorgen River from the Holy Spirit Plain down to the west of the Meteorite Fortress, where it splits into two, which becomes Clearwater. The tributary of the River flows all the way to the southwest, and the most suitable place for the warship to moor and become an attack point is an open area in the western part of the plain.

This area must be completely within the support of the Cecil Corps, so it is necessary for Knight Philip to advance the position to the plains, while also setting up the second high ground in a place closer to the Clearwater River, and he does not think there is anything wrong with this distance. Suitable – how far is the range of the trebuchet? Mages How far can you throw a Big Fireball?

To put it bluntly, he pushed his position forward halfway, and the defenders of the Rock Fortress still could only blink.

The curtain of the camp was opened, and a young female, wearing a silver white magic armor and a slashed sword at her waist, walked into the account. The female Knight stood upright in front of Philip and performed a military ceremony: Sir! The scout has returned, and the surrounding security!”

Philip sighed: “They really watched us set up positions here…”

Young female Knight – Margarita from the Kant area couldn’t help but say: “Their reaction is quite normal.”

Philip looked at Margarita – he was very impressed with the female Knight, and Kant’s old Knight Wald Peric praised the lady. He knew that Margarita was a Knight innate talent. The outstanding people, but because of the loyalty of Cecil, the thoughts of the young aristocrats in the mind have not changed, but Philip does not care much about this.

“Why are their reactions normal?” Philip asked casually.

“Relying on a strong fort and magic barrier to protect yourself, waiting for an opportunity to fight back in the city wall or waiting for a change, this is a fixed idea of ​​many nobles, especially when the active offensive effect is not good,” Margarita Standing straight, she wants to work hard to leave a good impression of Kant Knight in the heart of the “Feudal Lord” circle. “They can take the initiative to attack a few times. It is already an extraordinary play, and several offenses are frustrated. They can’t continue to let the soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy, so they can only hide behind the city wall, which is a reasonable choice.”

Paused, Margarita went on to say: “In most cases, the siege of the fortress and the fortress is protracted. I think the commanders in the Rock Fortress think so, as long as the magic barrier can hold, they are not Mind what we are doing outside, just like 40 was besieged in Soestberg years ago, the enemy was surrounded for three years, Soest’s Feidal Lord was still unscathed, but the soldiers who besieged the castle escaped most of the time, and finally Susit Feudal Lord, etc. When the reinforcements came, the enemies who besieged the castle had to retreat – presumably, the people in the Rock Fortress are also playing the same idea.”

Philip thoughtfully nodded: “originally is this way…”

Margarita looked at Philip with some curiosity: “Adult… sir, don’t you know this?”

Her doubts are very reasonable: Philip is also a noble aristocratic Knight. The Cecil Family also had its own castle when it was degraded. How did Knight Philip, who grew up in such a proper orthodoxy, not understand the basic rules of these nobles?

In the face of the question of the female Knight, Philip has no concealment. Frankly: “I understand everything, but the Cecil people never do this. It was not like this before the return of the Feidal Lord.”

„Oh?” Margarita’s eyes widened. “Cecil people… how do you fight?”

Knight Philip replied calmly: “Positive confrontation, if not necessary, try to avoid being besieged the castle, into a passive defense situation, anyway, as long as the enemy on the battlefield is killed, the castle is naturally safe.”

“This…” Female Knight was stunned. “It’s a brave ethos…”

“Not because of bravery, because there is no way,” Philip spread his hand. “If Cecil is besieged, no one will come to help. Once we are blocked into the castle, it will be finished.”

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit embarrassing, but the embarrassment did not last long. Knight Philip quickly took the initiative to transfer the topic: “According to the original plan, the first test before dusk – for the dinner of the Rock Fortress Help.”

Female Knight immediately salute: “Yes, sir!”

……

Giant Sun moved slowly in the sky and finally approached the mountains on the west side.

On the first high ground, the technical soldiers are completing the assembly and commissioning of the last “Justice-I” orbital gun.

“Technical soldiers” are soldiers born with the emergence of various magical weapons, also known as “guns and bachelors” or “bachelor of war mechanics”, they are well-trained soldiers, but also have Beyond the general soldier’s mechanical knowledge and magical technical knowledge, these battlefield mechanics are equipped with special magical terminals, which can be used to release simple magic spells such as weight loss and traction, or to use magical guides. The engineering components in the terminal are used for the assembly, welding and adjustment of weapons and equipment. Their appearance symbolizes the continuous development of the specialization of Cecil.

After the final “Justice-I” orbital gun was commissioned, there were still fifteen minutes from the launch.

Giant Sun is falling towards the mountains on the west side, the bright sky is getting dark and orange, and the steel giant beast, which is crouching in the gun, is gradually plated with a golden red glow. .

Already a middle-aged man, even Wald Peric, the old man, stood on a rock sill next to the shelling position, affixed a telescope to his eyes and looked at the movement of the distant meteorite fortress.

The middle rank Knight itself has excellent eyesight, but after all, there is no way to compare it with the magic spell like Arcane Eye, but with the help of the “telescope”, he can look as far as the mage.

He can see that on the city wall of the Rock Fortress, there are several Knights walking around, many soldiers are defending on the wall, and those who walk around can obviously see some of the situation here. They occasionally stop and point to each other and talk to each other.

It’s so far away that the telescope looks like it’s in front of you, but this experience can’t be experienced with “Transcendent”.

Wald Peric Knight didn’t know what people talking about on the distant city wall were talking about, but he didn’t care.

The agreed time is up.

Old Knight took the telescope and, for the first time, personally directed the huge “magic weapons” firing of formidable power.

As he said to Margarita last time, Knight of Kant territory is finally coming in handy.

The rune trigger was pulled hard, and the huge energy instantly poured into the cannon’s base, using magic energy to relay the obelisk and the magical energy from the carol’s magic circuit to drive the terrifying weapons to roar. With a sharp sound, the heavy magic crystal shells rushed out of the acceleration track under a package of light azure air masses and rushed to the distant meteorite fortress.

For the southern aristocrats in the fortress, the long-lost familiar voice finally came.
