Chapter 349 Castle Town

Regarding Belmode's answer, Roy just looked at him blankly, and the latter smiled wryly: "Well, we've been together for a few days no matter how good it is, so we can't just ignore death, right?"

"Say it like you've never done anything like this."

"That's a woman, a woman!" Belmode exclaimed, "What's the matter?"

"Why is it different. Of course, if you want to talk about functions, it is indeed different."

Belmode shook his head and said, "Roy, you are so boring."

"Life is a boring thing. Apart from killing the enemy, there is hardly anything in this world that fascinates me." After speaking, he ignored Belmode, and Roy went straight to arrange defense.

Not long after, Edward climbed the Wall of Guards. Looking down from the heightened guard wall, on the wasteland 500 meters away from the city of Suer, the army of Storm City was resting. Edward swept back and forth on the enemy's position, and said in a low voice, "It's an army of thousands of people. Storm City is really big."

Roy snorted and said, "There are just too many people."

"Don't underestimate their goodness. No matter how you say it, our lack of troops is an unavoidable shortcoming." Edward smiled slightly and said, "I'm not good at leading troops to fight, so I'll leave the battle to you."

Roy and Bloy took very similar routes, but Roy was always from the army, and he was not the director of command and strategy in terms of command and strategy. The Highlanders had no objection to Edward's decision. He only asked Roy to allocate more combat work. After coming to Sur City, apart from training recruits, the life of the highlanders was really boring. His Hammer of Forbidden Destroyer hadn't been popular for a long time.

"It looks like a lot has changed."

On the battlefield of Storm City, a tall knight sat on a fierce brown horse. The knight was wearing light armor with gorgeous patterns, and a scarlet cloak was blown by the wind, like a flame. There are rifles and long swords on horseback, both of which are decorated with elegant and complicated patterns. The knight looked up at the city of Sur and said, "Isn't the city's guard wall higher than that?"

"Yes, Lord Mog. When I came here a few months ago, the guard wall here was not so high." Reg drove up behind the knight and said.

"Regg, I heard that your subordinates chased a woman away?"

Reg lowered his head and said, "This is my subordinate's dereliction of duty."

"Forget it, it's just a woman." The knight touched his chin and said, "Go and bring our presents,

Let's meet the city lord of Suer City first. At least we have to come first and then serve, so that we don't lose courtesy. "

"Of order." Reg respectfully said.

The person in front of him is the head of the Thunder Knights, Sir Maud's younger brother, Mogu, who is also the commander in charge of attacking the city of Sur this time. Reg naturally obeyed him, and after a while, Mogu took Reg and a small cavalry team to the city of Sur.

Seeing this team, Roy made a gesture to tell the soldiers not to attack for the time being.

Mo Gu came to the city, raised his head and said, "Go and call your city lord."

Edward heard the words and walked forward, appeared on the guard wall and said, "I'm here, is your Excellency?"

"I'm Mogu, the leader of the Thunder Knights. Good morning, Mr. Edward." Mogu smiled, and he didn't mention Edward's knight status, which seemed very rude.

Edward didn't do anything, just waiting for his next words.

"Presumably, Mr. Edward already knew our statement before. Your city killed one of our knights without asking the reason. Lord Maud, based on the principle of harmony and friendship, as long as the city of Sur gives us Correspondingly, our troops will withdraw immediately. Whether war or peace depends on Mr. Edward alone, please consider carefully."

Edward laughed and said: "You want our city to pay 100,000 gold coins, and hand over the technology of Crosis looms and a group of weaving workers. I think it is unacceptable for normal people. I put a high hat on me alone. If Storm City really hopes to resolve this matter through a more peaceful means, I have a proposal, I wonder if you would like to listen to it?"

"Let's hear it." Mo Gu laughed.

"It's very simple. I, the city lord, will fight alone with you. If I lose, the compensation will be doubled. If you lose, you only need to send troops to leave. What does Captain Mogu think?" Edward said. Some kind of ability was used to make the voice not necessarily loud, but floated out leisurely. It keeps echoing in the wilderness like the echo of the valley, so that everyone on both sides of the enemy and us can hear clearly.

Mogu's face turned down, and he narrowed his eyes. In any case, Edward is just a young man with a weak crown, but he actually made such a condition that he must hold it. Mogu snorted and said, "War is a trifling matter. How can it be decided by you and me fighting a war. Mr. Edward has no intention of reconciliation, so don't blame us for being ruthless."

"Sir Maud said, if Sur City is not prepared to use money to compensate, let them pay with their lives. These people are interest!" Mogu stretched out his hand.

Reg threw out a cloth bag, and the cloth bag fell to the ground, and a few heads rolled out of it, which were Qila's companions.

Belmode shrank his pupils slightly, and Edward also sneered: "Since Storm City doesn't let people who have nothing to do with it, why should Sir Maud pretend to be a friendly person. If you want war, then I will give you war All right."

"Very good, I hope you don't regret it." Mogu patted the horse and returned to the camp with the knight team.

It didn't take long for some special weapons of war to be pushed out of position. Looking at those war weapons, Roy narrowed his eyes and said, "Hey, are those artillery?"

Belmode nodded and said: "I thought these things could only be seen in books, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see them with my own eyes now. But with flintlocks/guns, it's not surprising that a weapon of war such as artillery has been developed."

"Quickly, prepare the Agni cannons and aim them at the city walls of Sur City. I will blow down their walls and their confidence." Mo Gu shouted, commanding the five camp cannons to set up the bombardment position.

The Balegon Empire spared no effort in the research of firearms, which was the last wish of the founding emperor. The emperor hoped to use ordinary war weapons to replace the limited number of knights and magicians, so that the Balegon Empire would have a strong military force. . Based on this desire, emperors of all dynasties have invested a lot of manpower and financial resources in firearms development projects.

Flintlocks/guns and Agni cannons are basically obsolete firearms in the main army of the empire, and even the lords of the important provinces in the hinterland of the empire have long stopped using these firearms to equip their troops. But on the borders of the Empire, firearms and battalion guns are still in service. For example, in Storm City, the camp artillery used by the army is the equipment purchased from arms dealers.

In Storm City, there is a higher level of Raging Flame Repeating Cannon. However, with the financial resources of Storm City, it is only enough to support the daily maintenance of the two repeating cannons.

The appearance of the battalion gun is to assemble the main parts of the gun body, the bracket and the wheels for easy movement. This is the heavy firepower of the empire's first field armament. It is forged from wrought iron and adopts a multi-layer composite barrel structure with rifling engraved in it, capable of firing solid iron bullets weighing up to a hundred pounds.

This kind of artillery, which is already an antique in the eyes of Edward, Roy and others from a higher dimension of civilization, still has a lot of deterrent power in this world. Especially in a city like Sur City that doesn't even have artillery, its threat is intuitive.

Even if attacking fighters like Roy and Broy can intercept shells in the air, there are only two people like this after all. The two of them couldn't defend the entire range of the guard wall.

"It's a little troublesome." Roy said, and added: "But it's not impossible to solve."

This kind of single-shot artillery is powerful, but the firing interval is fatal, otherwise the second-generation Raging Flame Repeating Cannon would not be developed. Furthermore, the opponent's battalion guns were only five, and the number was limited, which reduced the firepower accordingly. Of course, if left unattended, the guard wall of Sur City would not be able to withstand a few rounds of shelling. Storm City doesn't need to knock down the entire guard wall, as long as enough gaps are created, enough infantry and knights from the opponent can swarm into the city.

That's not what Roy likes to see.

The big man immediately formulated a countermeasure. When the battalion guns in Storm City were being loaded with shells, a group of cavalry rushed out from behind the gate of Sur City. Leading the charge was Roy, who launched the raid with a squadron of knights. Seeing this situation, Mo Gu decided to give Sur City a blow.

"The artillerymen obey the order, blow up that cavalry to pieces!" Mogu pointed in Roy's direction.

Seeing that the muzzle of the battalion gun was turned towards him, Roy immediately gestured. The cavalry, which had been in a dense formation, immediately dispersed and formed a loose formation to minimize the chance of shelling. Mogu snorted, still giving the order to shell. In the wilderness, booming cannons sounded. While the flames were flickering, shells burst into the air one after another, exploding in circles of flames in Roy's cavalry squadron.

When the attention of both the enemy and the enemy was focused on the battlefield, Broy led the flame warriors around the battlefield from the side and appeared on the left flank of Storm City. After discovering them, a troop of cavalry on the left broke away from their positions and greeted Bloy and the others. From Mogu's point of view, this was just a surprise attack on the city of Sur. No matter how elite this team is, there are less than 20 people anyway, a cavalry squadron of 50 people is enough to eat.

But he didn't know that the single-soldier combat power of the Flame Warriors had already pointed directly at the ace army of the empire, "Lion Elegy", which was a super army with every soldier at the tenth level!

The team of cavalry didn't think much, and went all the way to meet them. When the leader of the team entered the range of the distance between the two sides, he raised his hand and waved: "Shoot!"

The cavalryman put his legs between the horse's belly, held his rifle flat, and fired a round at Bloy. r1058
