Alien Knights

When the black armor warrior stood in front of Jennings, the latter always felt that he had seen him somewhere.

"Pay attention to your words and deeds!" The adjutant looked at the black-armored soldier who neither bowed nor spoke, and said loudly in displeasure: "The one in front of you is the regent of Lone Rock City, the southern guardian of the parish of Heavenly Father !"

With the light of the torch, Jennings looked at the black armor on the soldier, and frowned thoughtfully.

The adjutant noticed that the soldier was still indifferent, and immediately shouted angrily: "There must be a limit to rudeness! Take off your helmet!"

The adjutant's voice caught the attention of the surrounding soldiers. People surrounded him. Some were curious, some were puzzled, and some were worried. All of them focused their attention on the black-armored soldier.

The latter finally moved.

"as you wish."

After a simple sentence, the armor covering the head was removed, revealing the warrior's resolute face... and dozens of twisted and swinging parasite limbs.

"Alien! He is an alien!"

There was a sharp cry from the crowd, and the nervous adjutant drew out his sword and looked at the soldier vigilantly.

Jennings was taken aback for a moment, then he waved his hand and said to the adjutant, "Put away your sword! And, you guys! Get out of here and clean up the battlefield!"

After dealing with everything around him, Jennings turned around and looked at the fearless face of the soldier, and asked calmly, "What's your name?"

"Randall Quincy."

"Randall Quincy? Where have I heard that name?" Jennings tried hard to recall the past, and suddenly recalled something, and then said movedly: "If I remember correctly, you seem to be..."

Randall said calmly: "That's right, I served in the army under your command for a while. Later, because of my heterogeneous status, I had to flee with my mother..."

Jennings sighed with a gloomy face: "I remembered, you were originally a hunter, and you joined the Volunteer Army to help the kingdom. On the battlefield, your archery skills and bravery left a deep impression on me , the me at that time..."

"My lord, I don't want to talk about the past anymore. Why don't we focus on the battle in front of us?" Randall put his helmet on again, looked at the dark night outside the city, and listened to the wind in the wind. In a foreign language, he said: "The enemy's attack has been frustrated, and he will definitely not retreat."

Jennings took a deep breath, nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the enemy's light cavalry unit is undertaking a surprise attack mission. Their main purpose is to use their mobility to capture the city gate by surprise."

"In other words, the enemy's large force will arrive soon."

"That's right, but don't worry, I have sent messengers to many generals in the kingdom, and they will come here with reinforcements soon."

Randall looked sideways at the corpses on the city wall, and whispered, "The question is, can this place be held until reinforcements arrive?"

Jennings knew what he was worried about, and said with a laugh: "The Lonely Rock City is built on a ridge, and there are natural rock walls on both sides of the gate of the outer city as a cover. The power will be greatly reduced, and even the soldiers' march will become extremely difficult."

Jennings paused for a moment, and then said: "The only trouble is that there are not many defenders in the city."

Randall asked strangely: "There are not many defenders in the city?"

"Most of the soldiers are stationed on the Yuexi Plain to the north of Guyan City."

Randall was even more strange: "The pagan empire is located in the south of Lone Rock City, why did they station their troops in the north instead?!"

Jennings turned his eyes to the distance and said softly: "I just don't want to repeat the mistakes of the Holy Acropolis."

Having said that, Randall instantly understood everything.

Lonely Rock City stationed most of its soldiers in the north for the purpose of guarding against Muxi City.

In the battle for the successor to the throne of the Holy Acropolis, the Muxi Knights forcibly entered the territory of the Holy Acropolis under the pretext of being attacked, and finally supported Queen Mary to take the throne. Although there are various twists and turns in this process, in the eyes of outsiders, this is the behavior of Mu Xicheng's bird occupying the dove's nest.

In addition, Holy King Muxi established Protestantism, while expanding the influence of Protestantism, while suppressing the parish of Heavenly Father. For some traditional religious kingdoms, this has also aroused their vigilance.

Finally, the fact that the southerners have not launched a large-scale attack against the north for decades has also paralyzed Lone Rock City's judgment to a certain extent.

The combination of these three points prompted the regent of Lone Rock City to make the decision to "gather troops to the north".

Thinking of this, Randall sighed deeply. He said to Jennings: "My lord, Muxi City is not what you imagined."

"The rise of any kingdom is full of killing, deceit and plunder from the bottom of it. Looking at the history books, there is nothing like it." Jennings glanced at the sky, and the slightly bright sky indicated that even if the night passed, the light would come.

He said with emotion: "You are also a citizen here, so naturally you should know that due to the special geographical environment, Lonely Rock City has always lived in the gap between forces. We are forced to learn to be cautious and preventive. This is a helpless thing. .”

Finding that Randall was silent, Jennings said with a smile: "If you are worried about the strength of the troops, I can tell you that there is no need. The Lone Rock City army stationed on the Moon Creek Plain is very close to the King City, at most two Come back in three days and join the fight against the South."

Randall nodded slightly: "I hope so."

At this time, there was a shout from the watchtower: "The enemy! The enemy has appeared!"

Hearing the screams of the soldiers around him, Jennings pushed away the people around him, walked quickly to the city wall, and looked into the distance. The scene in his vision made his eyes widen and he took a deep breath.

The imperial army, the imperial army all over the mountains and plains!

The musket regiments lined up neatly, the heavily armed heavy infantry, the shining artillery team, and the endless supply carts were slowly displayed in front of everyone under the rising sun.

The adjutant standing beside Jennings, looking at the imperial army on the winding mountain road, stammered, "I'm afraid there are three... no, four legions here."

There was a look of distress on Jennings's face, and he said in words that only he could hear: "In the past, the south was in chaos, and I always thought that the strength of the heathen was nothing more than that. Now it seems that this unified empire, Like a lion waking up, it has revealed its sharp fangs and claws."

Randall walked behind Jennings and said to him in a low voice: "My lord, with all due respect, the gap between the enemy and our forces is too great."

The latter regained his composure and shouted to the adjutant behind him: "Send the second group of messengers immediately! Find our generals and tell them to speed up their march. Immediately! Immediately! Reinforce Guyan City as soon as possible!"
