Legendary Hero

Chapter 422 Glory is a Shackle

Luo Lin's speed was very fast. He flew over the six-hour journey of an ordinary airship in just over half an hour.

After rushing to Lionheart City, Luo Lin originally wanted to fly in directly, but after thinking about it, Mendel was closed to this matter. Although Mendel was not a general at this time, he was still a prestigious general in Lionheart City. It still has a huge influence in the Lion Castle, so Luo Lin didn't make any noise, and still landed more than 20 miles away from the Lion Heart City. After transforming into a human form, he quietly entered the city.

After returning to Lionheart City, Luo Lin found another place to change back into his military uniform. He was still wandering around, no different from before, and walked all the way back to Lion Castle.

When he returned to the castle, it was already evening, and as usual, there was no sign of Shaer. The war was imminent, and the other party had been busy with various affairs, so he couldn't find any free time.

Luo Lin was also a commander himself, so he understood this very well. After having dinner in the castle, he went back to his room, turned on Longsense, listened carefully to the movements in the military command room, and waited patiently.

Nothing happened during this time, so Luo Lin was thinking about how to break the situation.

These days, Luo Lin seems to be wandering around, but this is just an appearance. He is just getting familiar with the warfare methods of this era. After so many days, he also has some experience.

In Lionheart City today, there are about 70 force warriors, and there are two force fighters in their prime. One is Shar and the other is Mendel. There are still 20 strong youths, and the remaining fifty are juvenile giant eagles, and the upper limit of strength after transformation is only 1500.

There are also five armed airships. Originally there were only two ships, but after getting Lan Watson 200,000 gold coins, he built one and bought two more. The first two ships have full combat effectiveness because they are fully staffed, all veterans. However, most of the crew of the three newly purchased ships are novices. It is estimated that the airship's combat power will be less than 70% in real battles.

The above are the fighting forces that can move freely in Lionheart City. In addition to these, there are several magic towers in the city. There is a Lionheart Castle, which is presided over by the great magician Horick. The power of this magic tower can cover the entire Lionheart City. There are three on the Lionheart City Wall, which are nearly equilateral triangles guarding the Lion Castle. Presiding are three high-ranking magicians who assist in guarding the outer city walls.

Finally, there is the protection of the city wall.

The city wall of Lionheart City is quite satisfactory in Starlite Continent. It is in the shape of a right-angled trapezoid. The base is more than 30 meters wide, 40 meters high, and the top is more than 10 meters wide. The interior is filled with ordinary green mud. , the outside is nearly one meter of city bricks. When the bricks were fired, a small amount of mithril was mixed in. The anti-magic performance is quite satisfactory. Anyway, ordinary magic cannons are absolutely indestructible.

The city wall of Lionheart City is more than ten kilometers long, and there is a turret every 100 meters. The turret is equipped with amazingly powerful magic cannons. It is estimated that ordinary armed airships cannot withstand several bombardments by it. Every kilometer or so, there is a main cannon. This kind of cannon is of strategic level and has a range of one kilometer. Within the range, as long as it hits, it can hit any level of armed airship on the road.

Of course, its price is also very expensive. According to Luo Lin's information, the price of such a main cannon is 30,000 gold coins, and there are twelve in total in Lionheart City.

With such an arrangement, it is obvious that the defenders have a huge advantage. Luo Lin originally had great confidence in Lionheart City.

But when he knew that Greens City was participating in the war, and observed the armed airships in Greens City with his own eyes, his confidence was a little shaken.

What surprised Luo Lin the most was the main cannon on their airship. Although the scale of those weapons did not seem to be as large as the main cannon on the city wall of Lionheart City, their magic power fluctuations were much higher, and the material of the barrel looked much better than that of Lionheart City. .

Comparing the two, Rollin has reason to believe that the airships in Greens City can fire bombards beyond the range of the main guns on the city walls. At that time, Lion Heart City can only be beaten passively.

At that time, the magic tower was knocked down by the opponent, and the city wall was knocked down by the opponent.

The opponent has at least one hundred and fifty Force Warriors and ten armed airships. As long as the defense of Lion Heart City is broken, the airships and Force Warriors will drive straight into Lion Castle. If Eru insists on not surrendering, the entire Lion Castle can be reduced to ruins in an instant.

Based on the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, Luo Lin found that with his current level, if the two sides fought head-on on the battlefield, he could not see any chance of winning. Even if he knew the opponent's arrangement in advance, it was useless, because there was a huge gap in hard power between the two sides.

so what should I do now?

While Luo Lin was thinking about countermeasures, he heard movement from the military command room not far away. The matter was finally over, and the generals went to rest.

Luo Lin looked up at the time, it was already eleven thirty in the middle of the night.

The voice continued to come, and Luo Lin listened to it completely.

He heard that Sha Er also came out of the command room and returned to the room of the castle. Thanks to the transformation of the essence of the original force, she seemed to be completely tireless. What book did you read.

Luo Lin knew it was time, got up from the bed, straightened his clothes, and sneaked towards Sha'er's room.

The defense in the castle was very tight, but it couldn't stop Luo Lin, who arrived at the door of Sha'er's room silently. He didn't need to knock on the door. He just waited patiently for more than five minutes, and the door opened.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Sha'er asked with a smile. She was wearing a pajamas, her hair was slightly wet, and she was rubbing a flannel towel. It was obvious that she had just finished bathing and was about to go to bed.

"..." Luo Lin was speechless for a while. The voice in the room was still turning the pages of the book just now, so he turned off Longjue. Why did he finish reading the book and take a shower in less than ten minutes? Well, it's really not the right time for him to come here.

"Look at your stupid look. Come in." Sha'er narrowed her eyes and smiled, stepped aside and let Luo Lin into the room.

Sha'er is a general and Elu's aunt, so the treatment is naturally the best. Her room is the best guest room in the Lion's Castle. The floor is covered with beige camel hair carpet, and the furniture is all made of expensive rosewood. The sheets on the bed are made of the best snow silk on the mainland. Looking at the snow from a distance, it looks like a ball of snowflakes.

"Sit." Sha'er pointed to a chair in front of a desk.

Luo Lin nodded, and sat upright on the chair covered with black fox fur. Sha'er sat on the bed casually. She didn't think of Luo Lin as an outsider at all, and her sitting posture was very casual. She just leaned on the back of the bed, clasped the back of her head with her hands, crossed her legs, and asked lazily: " Tell me, what made you come here in the middle of the night and still dress so formally?"

Luo Lin was wearing a military uniform and didn't even take off the golden eagle emblem. He didn't have time to joke with Sha'er at this time, and said solemnly: "I got some news."

"Oh?" Sha'er became serious and sat up straight at the same time, because she knew that it must be a major event that Luo Lin could take seriously.

Luo Lin explained exactly what he saw yesterday. At the end, he said: "Mendel rebelled, Greens City joined the war, Pegasus City's power increased greatly, and the situation is very serious."

Sha'er listened carefully, and when she finished listening, a sneer suddenly appeared on her face: "I said why Mendel has been so cooperative recently, and he will do whatever I say. I thought he had figured it out, but it turned out to be He found another way out. Thinking about it, he is not optimistic about this battle, thinking that Lionheart City will definitely lose."

She turned to look at Luo Lin and asked, "What about you? What do you think?"

Before coming, Luo Lin had already thought of a strategy, but he didn't think of any solution, so he could only shake his head at this moment: "I still don't know much about the situation in this world, and I can't think of any good way to solve this situation."

"Hehe~" Sha'er smiled wryly, and she sighed: "It's normal for you not to be able to think of a way. The opponent has an absolute advantage in strength. If we can still win in this situation, then we've seen hell."

It is true that Lionheart City has the advantage of defending the city, but some time ago, more than 30 force fighters accompanied Elu to the Bruma Continent, and they lost everything in the end. Now there is no strong city lord, and his strength is in a period of weakness. Compared with Pegasus City, which is fighting at full strength, the outcome of the two sides is only 50-50. If Greens City is added, the lead will be lost.

Luo Lin was silent for a while, and Sha Er also had a look of despair on her face, and she didn't speak. The room fell silent, save for the sound of their breathing.

After a long time, Sha'er said, "Why don't we run away with Eru?"

To stick to it like this, other than dragging countless lives to die with them, has no meaning. Instead of this, it is better to abandon Lion Heart City. This is not cowardice, but just does not want to fight a hopeless war and hurt innocent people.

Luo Lin was taken aback, he didn't expect Sha'er to say that, but he immediately felt relieved, Sha'er is the kind of knight-errant character with little sense of honor, unless necessary, she never fights to the death with others, and now she brings up this idea , it is reasonable.

After thinking about it, Luo Lin also felt that it didn't matter, because the war between Pegasus City and Lion Heart City itself was caused by a boring dispute between nobles, and had nothing to do with such a real event as the survival of the race. As soon as Eru ran away, Pegasus City would occupy Lionheart City without any effort, and Lionheart City might even surrender directly. At that time, except for the few people in power in Lionheart City who will suffer, ordinary people will continue to live their lives, but with a different city lord.

There is really no need to persist in this kind of ridiculous war.

"I'm free to do whatever I want. But this matter ultimately depends on Elu's thoughts. If he doesn't want to, I won't get my reward." Luo Lin spread his hands. His purpose was not to participate in the war and kill people, but to see the soul of the giant eagle and see if he would get a new opportunity.

"You are really honest." Sha'er sighed, got up from the bed, then went into the small changing room beside her, and put on a set of neat wolfskin leather armor.

"To be honest, if we really escape with Eru, we will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole world. I have completely ruined the glory of the Asgard family." Shaer smiled wryly.

Luo Lin shrugged his shoulders: "Glory? Isn't this thing used to deceive the inferiors to go all out?"

The so-called honor, the so-called loyalty, and the so-called noble blood are actually shackles. They are the spiritual chains that the superiors carefully weave from generation to generation and put on the inferiors. The purpose is to stabilize the power that they and their families have already obtained.

Luo Lin was once trapped by these shackles, thinking that persistence is glory, and that having glory is noble. In fact, how can there be any noble person in this world? Crows are all alike in the world.

Only after he himself became a superior person did he fully see through the truth.

Sha'er is obviously a person who sees it through, but she has never thought about the problem from this angle. She was stunned for a moment, and then she figured it out, and said lightly: "If you know it, don't say it."
