Chapter 180

three days later.

In the main hall of High Castle Clear Water, Rengao sat in the master's seat, and a large map of Glamorgan's territory was spread out on the table in front of him. On the left were Pansil and Badmond, and on the right were Dragonstone mercenaries. Emily Si and others from the regiment.

Sicarius and Otto stood behind him like two tall statues.

Although they saw each other frequently these days, Emilys, Pansil and the others were full of curiosity about these Macragges, and frequently cast their gazes at them.

Even without fighting, you can feel their extraordinaryness.

It would be fine if it was just Sicarius and Gron who taught Zhuo Ao that day, but every barbarian around Ren seemed to have terrifying power, and within a day, an inexplicable transformation occurred.

They monopolized a martial arts training ground and exercised in it every day, preventing outsiders from watching.

Except for Ryan himself, no one knows their details.

Ren could see their thoughts, but it was not yet time for the Ultramarines to make a move, so he asked, "Ma'am, haven't your people come back yet?"

"Not yet," Emily replied, "It should be soon."

Ren decided to regain his territory starting today.

In the Earl of Glamorgan, the most important place is of course the High Castle of Clear Water, which symbolizes the ruler of the lord, followed by two ports, and then the business district on the banks of the Hierro River, and the airship landing field. After a few points, the territory is almost in his hands.

The rest of the manors, factories, demon soul farms, plantations, and farms can be cleaned up slowly in the future, one by one.

What Rennes wants to take down now are two ports.

One is in the north, which is the largest port in Modu. It is located at the mouth of the largest river in the empire, the Nakumer River. It is also the confluence of the Yero River in Modu. It is called Highbridge Port.

Another Yangshui port is on the southern coast of the territory, on the verge of Paradise Bay. It has a relatively short history of construction, only a few decades, and it is relatively far away from the castle.

The combined cargo throughput of these two ports is more than two-thirds of Modu's maritime trade, and its importance is self-evident.

Naturally, it is impossible for the Modu nobles to give up, and it is not easy to attack.

Renn hadn't decided which port to attack, so he asked Emily to send someone to investigate. There were several shadow warriors in the Dragonstone mercenary group, who were sent out early in the morning to go to two ports respectively.

As soon as Emily finished speaking, a thin figure came in from outside.

She quickly asked, "Landy, how's the situation?"

"Regimental Commander, Lord Lord." Randy saluted the two, he is a fourth-level shadow warrior, and replied: "I went around Highbridge Harbor twice and saw the heavy cavalry of the Marquis Ji Liu's family. The number should be Above fifty, they were vigilant, so I didn't dare to get too close, and there were no other problems."

"More than fifty heavy cavalry..." Emily's face was serious.

Heavy cavalry, also known as heavy knights, are similar to silver knights, but their mounts are generally larger and heavier, and they charge collectively, unstoppable.

According to the information that Ren obtained from Ausiliya, the Marquis of Ji Liu's family has cultivated a large number of heavy armored knights, more than 500 in total, and sent one tenth of them to station at the port, which can be said to be spared no expense.

Another Yangshui Port, the control of which is in the hands of Earl Akrant, must have also sent heavy troops to guard it.

"Lord?" Emily asked Ren.

Ren thought about it for a few minutes, and didn't want to wait for the Shadow Warrior from Yangshui Port to come back. As long as there are no traps, it doesn't matter which port you attack.

Highbridge Port is closer to the castle, only a dozen miles away, and a quick attack can also reduce the enemy's reaction time.

"Leave immediately to Highbridge Port." Ren no longer hesitated.

"yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, and immediately acted according to the previous plan.

The Dragonstone mercenary group dispatched a hundred centaurs and thirty iron guards, and the rest stayed in the castle to guard against being raided.

The Ultimate Battlegroup, the Silver Knights and the Secret Fire Guards were all dispatched.

The gate of the castle opened, and teams of centaurs ran out. Such a big movement immediately attracted the attention of people on the street, who hid on the side of the road, their eyes full of awe.

At the front of the team, four centaurs held high the flag of the Augustus family. On the bright red flag, a golden warhammer crossed with a crescent moon fluttered in the wind.

Emily and her human mercenaries were led by the centaur to run in the middle.

Ren was too heavy to be carried by a centaur, and he was happy to run to keep up, but it was detrimental to the count's majesty, so he could only sit in the car and follow behind the team.

The thirteen Ultramarines, like Ryan, were too heavy and didn't have a suitable mount, and they were too tall to sit in the car, so they could only run by themselves.

Fortunately, the distance of twenty miles is not too far for the Ultramarines, and their speed can fully keep up with it, and the energy consumption is not too much.

Moments later, Highbridge Harbor arrived.

The port is built along the open area of ​​the coast, with a length of three or four miles. You can see the pier of the port from a distance. Hundreds of ships are docked. Large ships, private yachts, fishing boats and passenger ships come and go on the water. , semi-mechanized cranes, driven by steam engines, are loading or unloading large quantities of goods. The workers are busy, and there are a large number of hotels, bars and shops in the port. People come and go, and there is a scene of prosperity.

However, the sound of rumbling horseshoes interrupted all this.

As the figure of the centaur appeared on the street, the entire port suddenly boiled like a boiling pot, and there was a burst of chicken and dog jumping.

There are several tall clock towers built in the port, and the guards ring the big bell to issue a warning.

A group of black knights rushed out of the port and blocked the gate of the port.

The armor on them has a faint energy radiance, exquisite and thick, and they are riding tall and strong dragon-horned horses. This kind of horse is more precious than silver-scaled horses. It also has a little dragon blood. There are a pair of horns on the side, and its strength and endurance are comparable to those of monsters.

More than fifty heavily armed knights quickly completed the formation, each holding a three-meter-long lance, as if facing an enemy.

"Stop!"

An order came out, and the centaur stopped three hundred paces away from the heavily armored knight, surrounded by open streets, very suitable for charging.

Ren got out of the car and walked to the front of the line.

Emily jumped off Drool's back, walked to his side, and talked in a low voice.

Zhuoao snorted in displeasure, but seeing the Macragges following Renn, and there were thirteen of them, he was so frightened that he turned his head and didn't dare to make another sound.

"Your Excellency, do you want to attack?" Emily asked.

Ren shook his head, "Wait a few minutes first, it's not time to attack yet."

Although the centaur has an advantage in numbers, but after running for twenty miles from the castle, its physical strength is not at its peak, so it needs to take a rest.

The distance of three hundred steps is enough for a centaur to charge up.

Ren looked at the opposite port gate.

This group of heavily armored knights is very well equipped, and the Marquis Ji Liu has invested a lot of money in them. Every knight is a third-level iron guard, and there are only four elements in the soul. Everyone is the same, and the second-level strength is the same. , Stoneskin, Enduring Stamina, and Fortitude.

Obviously, these heavy armored knights were supernatural beings raised from childhood, rather than recruited from the outside.

This method of establishing a legion can only be supported by real nobles.

This is the case with the Silver Knights of the Silver Star Duke.

They fused the same demon soul, possessed the same elements, used the same equipment, trained various combat skills for a long time, obeyed the command, and fought in unison to form a truly extraordinary army.

Such an army is much more powerful than the mercenary regiment.

If in the wild, the same number of centaurs encounter this heavy cavalry, perhaps at the beginning of the battle, the centaur has some advantages by using bows and arrows, but once the heavy cavalry seizes the opportunity to charge head-on, the centaur will be crushed pressure.

"I don't know if the bullets of Rambo's gun can penetrate their armor?"

Ren thought to himself.

His eyes fell on the leader of the heavy knights.

The whole body of this man was wrapped in enchanted armor, his face could not be seen, and the dragon-horned warhorse under him was taller and stronger than other heavy knights.

The eyes of the soul saw that this was a high-level iron guard, who had advanced to become a steel knight.

Ren took out the canonized parchment from the ring. This action caused a commotion in the heavily armored knight on the opposite side, as if he wanted to retreat.

He couldn't help smiling, knowing that these people thought they were going to pull out their machine guns.

Just as he was about to repeat the old trick, announcing his identity and order, and restricting the other party to leave within five minutes, Ren suddenly sensed something and looked up to the sky.

In the clear sky, a few dark clouds suddenly floated, and they became thicker and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye. There was a faint sound of thunder in the clouds.

Ren's face suddenly changed color.

He has an affinity for thunder and lightning, and he senses that the elements of lightning within a radius of one kilometer are frantically gathering towards the sky, and the air around him has also become dry, with inexplicable gusts of cool wind blowing, and the fine hairs on his skin stand on end.

Someone is casting a spell, and it's a lightning spell with a very high ring number!

Oxilia's voice rang in my ears: "This is the thunderstorm of the seventh-ring spell, retreat quickly!"

"It's too late to retreat." Ren's face was gloomy.

This is a trap, no wonder the heavy armored knight on the opposite side just guarded the port, allowing the centaur to rush three hundred steps away, putting himself in a passive position, it turned out to be used as a bait.

Within seconds, dark clouds obscured the sky, resembling a scene before a storm.

With such a large range of spells, I can definitely escape through Ausiliya's arbitrary door, but it will be difficult for others.

The centaurs panicked for a while, and the formation suddenly became a little disorganized.

"My lord?" Emily said anxiously, if she let the spell fall, few members of her mercenary group would be able to survive.

But at this time, Ren seemed to be stunned, motionless.

"Quiet!"

Ren scolded, the voice of all things had already been turned on to the upper limit, and his eyes scanned back and forth in the port, trying to find the caster.

The seven-ring spell requires a legendary middle-level wizard to cast it. The wider the range of the spell and the larger the scale, the longer the preparation time. After the spell is formed, the caster will focus on maintaining it. Unless all the people are teleported away, they will be blocked by the spell on the way to retreat. Lock and keep attacking.

The best way is to interrupt the spellcasting.

In order to get a better vision of casting spells, the opponent must stand higher and cannot hide.

In the eyes of the soul, violent magical fluctuations came from the top of a tall building in the port.

"Got you."

Ren immediately ordered: "Charge! Charge! Charge!"

"Everyone rush into the port, Ultramarines, crush your enemies!"

The thirteen Ultramarines raised their huge swords one after another, took the lead in charging towards the heavily armored knights in the port, and shouted loudly: "March for Augustus!"

The centaurs were infected by their aura and immediately ran wildly.

After Ren gave the order, he pointed to the roof of the building, and a random door opened in front of him, and he stepped in without hesitation.
