Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Northern Route, Dragonscale Fort

Although they are all on the defense line of Longxiguan, compared with the main pass, the northern line enters winter faster and the climate is colder. At this time, the northern line has already been covered with heavy snow, and the entire Dragonscale Castle is covered in white clothes. .

Gru stood on the high platform of Dragonscale Fort and looked into the distance. The cold wind slapped on his face, but it didn't affect him at all. Not to mention the powerhouses of the holy rank, as long as they reached the stage of great knights, they could basically So that the cold and heat do not invade.

It's just that although the bad weather can't have much impact on the strong, the composition of the army still depends on countless ordinary people. The bad weather will definitely have a certain impact on marching and fighting.

The dense forest not far away is completely desolate. The trees have either lost their leaves and become bare, or they are completely covered by snow, turning into sticks of ice cream. The sight is endless white, In this environment, mobilizing troops is even more difficult.

The northern line was also one of the attack directions chosen by the orcs before, but compared to the fierce battle at the main pass, the northern line is much more flat. In addition to the difficulty of deploying the army here, another important reason is that the orc army is here The somersault was a bit big, so that the orc army on the North Road did not dare to attack easily.

After Gelu led the army to wipe out more than 100,000 orc troops and killed the orc warriors in one fell swoop, the strength of the orcs on the northern line was greatly reduced. Although the orc kingdom quickly replenished the army on the northern line, it just continued Controlling the defense of the stockade in the dense forest and the front line of the cave mountain, it is just to prevent humans from invading the hinterland of the orcs through the northern dense forest.

"It's under the snow, the orcs probably won't try to attack again, right?"

"General Gelu, the orcs don't dare to continue to attack. Their scouts don't even dare to leave the gate of the village. They are trapped in the village every day, fearing that they will be killed by phantom archers."

After the orcs were beaten back, of course Gru would not let the other party retreat to the dense forest so comfortably. Although there was no need for deep pursuit due to strategic deployment issues, sending an elite team to shoot cold arrows in the forest could still cause harm to the orcs. For small casualties, the orcs had to fight back at first, but they were quickly defeated by the mixed team of system soldiers in the hands of Gru in the woods. After all, the system soldiers in open areas are still short of troops, and they may be easily besieged by the army. In the woods, the orcs' numerical advantage could no longer be brought into play.

"Forget it, this snowy day, let the scouts come back."

After thinking about it for a while, Gru ordered the people in the forest to retreat. In the endless white, the small-scale elites were much more conspicuous than before, and the attack also lost its suddenness.

Now the orcs have not reacted, and when the orcs react, there is still a certain danger.

"Yes, General Grew!"

"Let's go, let's go down, General Arsi doesn't have to accompany me here to blow the wind."

"Hahaha, did General Gelu see that I am old? How can I say that I am also a great knight?"

Although Alcie is a veteran, he is still a real great knight. It is not a big problem to stand here and enjoy the wind for a while.

The two have basically become acquainted, and Gru, who has undergone a major change, is not as extreme as before, but is more able to get along with his subordinates.

As he said that, Arci walked down the tower with Gru.

"General Alsi, is the army ready to move out?"

"You can go anytime!"

"Um!"

"But, General Grew, are we going to abandon the defense of the northern front?"

Gru's order made Arci a little confused. Originally, their 100,000 troops followed Richard to fight in the northern dense forest. After the army retreated to the front line of Dragonscale Fort, they merged with some of the defenders and became the pillar of defense on the northern line. Strength, if they leave, the defense of the northern front will become quite empty.

If Gelu dared to lead the army to leave before, Alcie would definitely oppose it desperately, but after winning successive victories with Richard and Gelu respectively, Alcie's mentality has changed a little. Lu has already developed a certain degree of blind obedience, and he will carry out some unreasonable orders, but he still couldn't help asking.

"There is no need to leave for the time being, just to make preparations first, and the orcs should not have the idea of ​​​​going north."

"If there is an accident at Dragon's Breath, it doesn't make much sense for us to continue to defend the northern line. If we retreat slowly, we will be easily surrounded by orcs."

Gelu knew what Li Cha was thinking. Li Cha had no intention of giving up on the elite who had fought with them for several months. Otherwise, no matter what happened to Dragon's Breath, Gelu could easily take the system with him. The army withdrew to the north. With their speed, there was no need to worry about being cut off by the orcs.

But the North Route Corps led by Alxi and others was different. No matter how elite they were, they were just ordinary soldiers. If they didn't prepare early, when the orcs broke through the Dragon's Breath Pass, they would easily be cut off from the central plain by the orcs.

"My lord, is it really impossible to hold the Dragon's Breath Pass?"

When talking about this topic, Alcie's tone was a little heavy. After a long time, these high-ranking generals can actually see some clues as long as they are not stupid. Even a great man like General Gelu actually planned to retreat. It can be seen that How difficult is the situation.

Gru was silent for a moment, and could only say something ambiguous:

"Maybe there is still hope..."

…

"who!"

"Hey!"

Just as they came down from the tower and walked back to the Dragonscale Castle, Gru suddenly exploded, stabbing them behind him.

Although Gelu was famous for his archery skills, his knife was not much slower than his arrows. Before everyone could react, the scimitar in Gelu's hand had already made the sound of piercing into the flesh.

"Shadow Assassin?"

"You actually found me here, I just don't know what to say."

The moment the shadow assassin got out of the shadow, he was noticed by Gru, and he was killed by Gru before he even had time to shine the knife.

By the time Alxi and the others reacted, there was already a pitch-black corpse on the ground.

"Is this the shadow assassin Mr. Richard reminded?"

"Appeared here so soon?"

Although I do not know why, the first time the Shadow Assassin appeared in the heart of human beings, Richard immediately shared the information about the Shadow Assassin with the high-level officials of Longxi Pass, so that they would be prepared, so when the Shadow Assassin appeared At that time, neither Taize nor Gru was surprised, and even Alcie had already heard about it.

It's just that seeing this guy coming out of the shadows with his own eyes, he still couldn't help being amazed.

"Be careful, there's more than one!"

"Hey!"

"boom!"

Although the Shadow Assassin is strong, he obviously picked the wrong target. Among the people present, except for Alcie, there was no one to be trifled with. Needless to say, Gru, who is already a holy rank, Elena and Sir Mrak are not a good match. Yes, the several shadow assassins who appeared in succession were beheaded one after another without even having a chance to make a move. For a while, Alxi, who was watching, had a feeling that these guys were weak chickens.

"Damn it!"

"Holy rank, such a strong perception, is not an ordinary holy rank, that bastard Adrillo gave wrong information again."

According to the plan, the people of the shadow gods will cooperate with the orcs to attack humans. This time, the angels of the Lord of Shadows will lead the shadow assassins to carry out key assassinations on several important generals of humans. With Taize's command ability, it must be the assassination Those who were registered on the list were assassinated by shadow assassins.

Originally, there were not many generals on the northern front that were valued by the orcs, but Gelu's record was so brilliant that he also appeared on the assassination list, as well as some senior generals on the main pass and the southern front.

The Church provided the information, while the Shadow Angels led the Shadow Assassins to complete the targeted cleanup. The Orcs increased their attack at the same time, using several methods to defeat the humans in the Longxi Pass in one fell swoop.

However, the information provided by the church to other people may be accurate, and little is known about these heroes under Richard. The heroes, including Gru, were not well-known before, but they suddenly appeared and had no connection with the world at all. Can the church Where can I find information?

The orcs didn't know the strength of these heroes at all, so not only did they hit a wall with Taize, but they would even fail when they came to Gru.

Although Gru is a newcomer to the holy rank, Gelu's original strength is not at the level of the beginner's holy rank. According to the division of this world, the original Gru should also be a holy rank in the Realm of Jealousy. Next, in the eyes of others, it is definitely the performance of a veteran holy rank.

The envoys who came to take charge of the assassination saw that there was no desire to make a move at all. The envoys under the Lord of Shadows were similar to the envoys under the Lord of the Sun. The strength of the realm is weaker. For example, such an envoy who came to deal with Gru is only at the level of entering the holy rank. After seeing Gru's performance, he gave up the task directly.

After an assassination was anticlimactic and left behind a few corpses, the assassins disappeared without a trace.

But although the Shadow Assassin hit a wall with the system hero, the other generals are very dangerous.

…

Dragon's Breath Pass

Inside the Duke of Ross's mansion

"My lord, a letter from General Taize has repelled the attack of the orcs again."

"Um…"

The soldier who reported the message had a brisk tone. Obviously, in his opinion, repelling an attack by the orcs was a good thing to be happy about.

But Rose's tone was flat, and he didn't mean to be excited. As the coach, he knew the situation better. Taize had already used almost all the reserves and the Cavaliers to defeat the Orcs' attack.

A small number of white dragons destroyed a lot of divine power crossbows, and the battle situation will only get worse.

"Order, let the logistics side prepare more meat for the soldiers to eat freely, without saving."

"Yes, my lord!"

Ross's order was not only because the supplies were abundant, and he was not afraid of loss in a short period of time, but also partly because he felt that the main gate would not be able to guard for too long, and the supplies would be wasted if they were not used.

"Lord Ross, General Taize wants you to be safe and watch out for shadows."

"I understand, Mr. Richard's letter is very clear."

"puff!"

Suddenly, the messenger who had just left was pierced in the heart by a black blade, and the tip of the black blade emerged from his body. He didn't realize how the enemy approached him until his death.

The shadow assassin emerged from his shadow and killed him with one blow.

"Watch out for shadows? You've heard of us?"

Ross stood in the house, and there was no shadow under his feet, but when the messenger left the big house, there was naturally a shadow under his feet, and the Shadow Assassin used his shadow to appear directly at the door of the lobby of Ross's commander's mansion.

"There are assassins!!"

"Protect the adults!"

Rose's mansion was guarded by the elite of the Western Territory Army. Seeing the shadow assassin's appearance, they reacted very quickly. In addition to shouting for reinforcements, the guards also responded quickly.

A dozen or so guards inside the house immediately stood in front of Rose with their swords drawn, ready to use their bodies to defend Rose against possible sudden attacks, while some guards outside the door simply launched an attack on the Shadow Assassin.

In their loud shouts of killing, there was a trace of blood on the battlefield, and they were really more fierce soldiers than ordinary elites.

It's just that their method of dealing with shadow assassins is obviously not effective, especially those whose shadows are exposed on the ground.

A few black shadows flickered, and the guards fell to the ground. The guards from farther away kept coming. A small number of guards couldn't stop the shadow assassin. Appeared, but could easily sneak into Rose's mansion.

Moreover, as Rose is one of the most important characters in the intelligence of the orcs and the church, the lineup to assassinate him is much stronger than the lineup to deal with Taize.

To deal with Taize, only a few ordinary shadow assassins were used, as if the shadow lord's envoy was passing by at random, but for Ross, an envoy of the shadow lord approached Ross with several shadow assassins.

At this position, it doesn't matter whether there are shadows of the people in the back room. A strong man of the holy rank led several shadow assassins of the earth rank and directly smashed through the block of the guards outside the house, preparing to assassinate Ross from the front.

"Lord Ross, you retreat first! I will lead people to hold them back!"

The captain of the personal guard next to Rose is a master of the Grand Knight rank, and there are more than a dozen soldiers in the room who are also elites. He has seen that those black shadows that do not conform to common sense are not simple, and Rose cannot be allowed to stay here at this moment. Take a risk and urge Ross to leave.

However, Rose did not appreciate it, but drew out his sword and stood in front of him:

"It's because I was careless that I couldn't get away. It's clear that Mr. Richard has already made it very clear in his letter."

It was really hard for Ross to believe this kind of absurd thing before he saw it. He is different from the system heroes. Gru and others believe in Richard unconditionally. Naturally, they are more guarded against shadow assassins, while Ross He was in a half-believing state, and the letter had only arrived two days ago. He didn't know that the assassin could arrive so quickly, and he was not prepared at all.

"Your Excellency still has a chance, we will give you the queen!"

"Clang!"

Rose simply drew his sword and took a step forward, then asked the officer beside him:

"Do you remember the rules of my Western Territory Army?"

"How to deal with fatal injuries in the back?"

"Deprivation of pensions, double taxation for the parents and children of the family in the coming year, and no entry into the cemetery of fallen soldiers."

"So, I can't die easily."

"Swear to protect the adults!"

The captain of the personal guard gritted his teeth, and continued to take a step in front of Rose, insisting on...

...

...

Die before Ross...
