Lords of All: The Moving Castle of the Dead

Corpses were everywhere, the soil was dyed red with blood, and broken limbs were everywhere.

The final counterattack by the coalition forces from various cities under Lord Hartman was a boring joke to the Skeleton Knights and Black Warriors sent out by Li Ziyu.

The infantry raised their spears, but they couldn't stop the charge of any skeleton knight. They rushed into the infantry formation with flames that could burn all living things. They didn't even need to swing their swords to kill, relying solely on their souls. The impact of the war horses can cause heavy casualties to the infantry.

After a few charges back and forth, the infantry phalanx was completely defeated.

The Kingdom of Leon has never relied on infantry to rule the roost. Their infantry is only an auxiliary. They will only launch an attack after the heavy cavalry breaks into the enemy's square.

Most of the infantry only had leather armor. In front of the Skeleton Knight, the defensive power of leather armor was no different from that of cloth. Rounding it off, it was almost the same as not wearing any armor.

The light cavalry launched an attack on the Black Warrior, but when they hit the Black Warrior, they discovered that what they hit was not heavy infantry at all, but an iron wall!

The black warrior who was hit still stood firmly on the ground with his feet, but the cavalry flew out from the horse.

This was less like a charge and more like a massive mass suicide.

Before the cavalryman could get up from his horse, the sword of the black warrior had already fallen.

A crushing defeat.

Even if Lord Hartman no longer believes it or wants to admit it, the facts are the facts, and those corpses on the battlefield will not lie.

The coalition army was defeated, and everyone was running away, wishing they had two more legs to help them run faster.

His followers pulled the incompetent and roaring Lord Hartman away from the battlefield.

What Zelos Hartman has to consider is not how to take revenge on the undead, but how to explain it to the Kingdom of Leon.

The loss is too great.

In this battle, almost half of the combat power in Hartmann's territory was thrown into it. The heavy cavalry composed of noble knights was completely wiped out, the light cavalry lost more than 80%, and the infantry lost nearly 50%.

After the battle with the undead, Hartman will no longer have soldiers to fight for for a long time in the future, and his territory will be extremely empty.

There is no absolute harmony among the lords of the Kingdom of Leon. They only maintain peace on the surface under the supervision of the Kingdom of Leon. Once anyone reveals a flaw, others will not hesitate to eat it, and all the land will be eaten. Take away.

Never doubt the greed of nobles.

The decision to start a war with the undead was entirely Hartman's own decision, and the top brass of the Kingdom of Leon did not know about it at all.

In this case, with such heavy losses, Hartman will immediately lose the protection of the top brass of the Kingdom of Leon. Even if other noble lords compete for his territory, the top brass of the Kingdom of Leon will not step in to help him.

Not only did he initiate a war without reporting it in advance, but he also failed. Isn't this kind of lord a waste?

The Kingdom of Leon does not raise waste.

Hartman's headaches are coming later. He will soon be revolted and see the ugliness of human nature. He will understand that all politeness is superficial. When those people take off their masks, their faces will change. More terrifying than the undead.

He will lose everything, including his life.

"It's a waste." Li Ziyu looked at the battlefield and shook his head.

With so many corpses, if the Castle of the Undead was there, he could have produced a new batch of undead. Unfortunately, the castle was not with him, so so much material was wasted.

What a shame.

"Departure, destination Budapest!"

Li Ziyu gave an order, and the undead team passed through the bloody battlefield and continued to move forward.

I don’t know if the news about Lord Hartmann spread, but the rest of the journey went extremely smoothly. No one tried to intercept the undead team anymore, and they arrived in Budapest smoothly.

Budapest is the name of the capital of the Kingdom of Leon, and it also represents a large area of ​​territory governed by the royal capital, not just a city.

[Signal enhancement. 】

[Lock the location of the castle. 】

Not long after entering Budapest, a new prompt came from the system.

Xu was getting closer to the Castle of the Dead, and the positioning became more accurate. Li Ziyu clicked on the positioning map and took a look. The location of his castle was actually very close to the King's Palace of Budapest, almost touching it.

The closer it gets, the more Li Ziyu misses his castle.

I don’t know how my castle is, whether it was damaged during the exile, whether the undead inside has been lost, whether Mengmeng, Mengni and the others are okay.

"accelerate!"

Missing him made Li Ziyu anxious and gave orders to the undead army.

With the roar of an elephant, the speed of the undead team increased by a few points.

He had forgotten that this was a kingdom, the most important and central place in the kingdom, the representative of the kingdom, and the center of power of the kingdom.

The center of any kingdom is the most important place in the kingdom.

What will happen when an army comes from this center without saying hello in advance and has just wiped out most of the troops under a lord and all the elite under the lord?

Of course he was treated as an enemy!

Lord Hartman's failure was too big, and it was an event that could not be concealed at all. Because of his wrong judgment, the standing armies of various cities in the territory suffered heavy losses, and lost their main combat effectiveness, and their ability to resist wilderness monsters was greatly reduced. The city lords all fell into panic.

They responded to the lord's order to assemble their troops, but they left and did not come back. Didn't they lose their lives?

Logically speaking, this failure has nothing to do with them. After all, it was the lord's order. They just obeyed and executed the order. The lord was obeying the kingdom's orders. Such a large-scale gathering must be the kingdom's request.

It doesn't matter if the kingdom is defeated. There will be a certain amount of compensation, which can make up for the loss to some extent.

But after waiting for two days, there was no letter about the compensation. The city lords were dissatisfied. We had paid so much, why shouldn't we pay compensation?

failure?

What does that have to do with us? It’s not our command!

Because of this dissatisfaction, the city lords of various cities began to take the initiative to inquire for information.

It would be better not to inquire, but when they inquired like this, the city lords were confused.

It turned out that it was not the kingdom that ordered the assembly, but the decision of the newly appointed second-rate lord. He privately issued the assembly order and ordered each city to dispatch troops, and then... lost the battle!

No wonder there is no compensation.

No matter how rich Lord Hartman's family is, he can't afford to pay for the losses of so many cities in his territory. It would be useless to throw the entire family into it.

This is not the thing that makes the city lord panic the most. What makes them panic the most is the attitude of the royal capital!

Even though they are the city lords of the cities in Lord Hartman's territory, they are also the city lords of the kingdom!

The kingdom did not give an order, but secretly followed the lord's order, gathered troops, and killed all the troops. It was a felony no matter what.

Assembling in private is tantamount to treason and destroying the troops. It is also a serious crime. If you add the two crimes together, can you still live?

Good guy, just to deal with Li Ziyu and the undead, Hartman directly sent many lords and their families in his territory to the guillotine and gallows.

The city lords finally came to their senses. They couldn't take the blame and couldn't bear it. Hartman didn't dare to say anything. They had to say something. They couldn't die with their lords.

So the city lords wrote a unified letter to the royal capital and reported the matter. They made up their minds to exchange the lives of the lords for their lives. They left themselves completely behind and pushed the young Lord Hartman to the extreme. Front.

It was precisely because of these letters that Budapest learned that a team with extremely powerful combat capabilities was rushing to their side.

How to deal with Hartman and the city lords in his territory is not the first priority. The first priority is how to stop Li Ziyu's undead. Also, they need to know what the purpose of this team is and why they want to run. Are you coming to the royal capital to start a full-scale war with the Kingdom of Leon?

No matter what, gathering the troops first is what must be done.

When Li Ziyu led his undead team into Budapest, their whereabouts were exposed, and the royal capital immediately sent an army to intercept them.

Li Ziyu was anxious for his Castle of the Undead and ordered to speed up. As a result, he ran into the Budapest Army that came to intercept.

Budapest, where the royal family of the Kingdom of Leon is located, naturally has the three most elite legions in the entire Kingdom of Leon - the Leon Guards Knights, the Leon Royal Knights, and the Leon Heavy Sword Infantry!

The total number of the three elite legions is 7,000, the Knights of Leon Guards are 2,000, the Royal Knights of Leon are 2,000, and the Leon Heavy Armored Sword Infantry are 3,000.

In addition to the three elite legions, the noble cavalry from around Budapest was also summoned to form a cavalry regiment of 5,000 men, and an infantry regiment of nearly 20,000 men.

Although time was tight, the Kingdom of Leon had always considered what to do when the enemy reached the base camp. It acted extremely quickly and quickly assembled a team of more than 32,000 people to intercept Li Ziyu's army of the undead.

At the same time, they gave orders to the surrounding lords early to gather troops and horses for support. At this time, the two territories surrounding the Kingdom of Leon each gathered more than 20,000 people, converging on the main force of Leon. Once they converged, Leon would The total strength of the army will reach 70,000.

Li Ziyu looked at the main Budapest army blocking the road and felt a headache.

What are these guys going to do? They all come to stop me one by one. How much hatred there is. I just want to get back my castle of the undead!

"Ace Legion! Lord, Master, these are legions directly under the royal family!" Looking out of the window, the bright armors worn by the knights, coupled with the big flags fluttering in the wind, instantly made Torento recognize them. Li Ziyu couldn't help but reminded Li Ziyu with trembling lips about the other party's identity.

As a member of the Kingdom of Leon, he must have a clear understanding of his country's military structure, and he also understands the powerful combat power of the Royal Legion.

That is a high-end combat power that is not at the same level as the temporary legion summoned by Hartman. It is the real ace legion of the Kingdom of Leon!

The basic structure of other legions is composed of noble cavalry, squire cavalry, squire infantry, and serf soldiers under the city. Except for the noble cavalry, which is a heavy cavalry and has good combat effectiveness, the squire cavalry will accompany the noble cavalry since childhood and also has a certain combat effectiveness. Apart from this, the squire infantry and serf soldiers have almost no combat effectiveness.

Even noble cavalry and attendant cavalry are not professional soldiers. Although they can learn combat skills, they still have to spend a lot of time taking care of the fief. They have to eat. They also have to consider whether the farmers in the fief can have enough to eat. The population and income in the fief are directly related to the equipment and strength of the noble cavalry.

The army assembled in this way has combat effectiveness, but after all, it is a temporary army, and there is still a big gap between it and a real professional regular army.

But the ace legion under the royal family is different. They are not those noble knights, but a real professional legion. They do not produce or manage fiefdoms. All the needs are provided by the royal family and the Kingdom of Leon. Their combat effectiveness is completely crushing.

Don't look at the fact that the three ace legions only have a total of 7,000 people. When it comes to fighting, the improvised legions from other territories can't defeat them at all.

The Ace Legion mostly appears on the battlefield at critical moments to turn the tide of the battle.

Unexpectedly, the three ace legions were dispatched together this time, just to deal with the undead legion. Toronto's heart was trembling.

No, really not.

Why should it be so?

How could even the most elite ace army be mobilized? We really didn’t do anything. It’s not our fault.

Torento followed them all the way. From the beginning when Jonathan Sundberg attacked them, to the later Faye and Hartmann, it was actually not their fault. Li Ziyu was completely passive in counterattacking. The original purpose was just to reach the royal capital of Budapest. .

The road was blocked. Although Li Ziyu was impatient, he didn't go crazy and launched an attack directly, although he now really had the ability to directly destroy the army in front of him.

With BUG-level units such as the Colossus Fortress, Nether Colossus, and Psychic Colossus Cavalry, plus a group of undead, he was fully confident that he could defeat the opponent easily.

After all, Li Ziyu was still a reasonable person and planned to give the other party a chance to hear what the other party meant. If the other party insisted on starting a war, it would not be too late to start a war.

Sure enough, after the undead team stopped, a squad of knights ran towards the undead team holding a flag.

Li Ziyu and Torento came out of the Giant Elephant Fortress, separated from the team under the protection of the black warriors, and came to the center of the battlefield to meet these knights.

The cavalryman who acted as a messenger was not as arrogant as the messenger sent by Hartmann. When he saw that the other party was not riding a horse, the leading knight immediately got off his horse, planted the flag in his hand on the ground, took a few steps forward, and looked calmly Li Ziyu.

Li Ziyu raised his eyebrows, feeling that this was a good sign. At least the other party didn't come up and shout arrogantly, looking like he was negotiating. He felt calmer and calmly walked to a place five or six meters away from the other party. .

At this distance, even if the opponent wants to take action, the Black Warrior can protect him.

The knight patted his heart, made a Leon knight salute to Li Ziyu, and said, "On behalf of the King of Leon and the Royal Family of Leon, I have met you sir. Are you Mr. Li Ziyu, the Lord of the Holy Corpse?"

Seeing that the other party spoke very politely, Li Ziyu's expression became calmer. He nodded and said, "Yes, I am Li Ziyu. What do you mean by your Leon army blocking my way?"

He was very direct and got straight to the point without any pretentious politeness.

Li Ziyu just wants to solve the matter here quickly and get back his castle of the undead as soon as possible.

The knight did not expect Li Ziyu to be so direct, which was completely different from the politeness between normal nobles. He was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and then he reacted and said to Li Ziyu, "I'm sorry, sir, although you and your subordinates claim to be the masters of the holy corpse, but There is no evidence to prove that you are really the Lord of the Holy Corpse. No one has ever claimed this to the outside world. I need your proof."

Li Ziyu sighed, pointed at the undead army behind him, and said to him, "Can't you see my legion? Do you think the soldiers in my legion are normal humans? Isn't this enough to prove my identity? "

The knight shook his head and said to Li Ziyu, "Sir, the Holy Corpse has not appeared in the world for many years. No one knows what the real Legion of the Holy Corpse looks like. We cannot be sure whether your legion is the Holy Corpse. In the case of uncertainty, Now, we can only call it a monster, please understand."
