Heroes of the Invincible Knight Chapter 531

Compared with the sparsely populated Northland, the population on the Central Plains is much denser. Nearly one-third of the Kingdom's population is crowded on this fertile plain.

The castles of the nobles on the Great Plains are also very close. From Newman Castle to the nearest noble castle, it only takes a day's march to reach it.

And the movement of Newman Castle was so big that it was naturally noticed by the nearby nobles, but the time was short, and they still did not know that a brutal cleaning had occurred in the Newman family, and they were still under observation.

Of course, there are some nobles who have ghosts in their hearts, and they have to be more concerned about the surrounding turmoil. As soon as they learned of the turmoil in Newmanburg, they sent spies to check.

Lundinburg is one of the nearest castles to Newmanburg. Compared with the grandeur of Newmanburg, Lundinburg is much simpler, but it is more like a castle, although the area is not as good as that of Newmanburg. But it was built quite sturdy. The outer wall was at least seven or eight meters high, and there were several arrow towers on it. The platform on the arrow tower could not only stand a lot of archers, but also put a bed crossbow.

There is also a small moat surrounding the castle. Although the width is only five meters, the water depth is nearly three meters, which is enough to cause a lot of trouble to the attacking enemy. Compared to Newman Castle, which was completely reduced to a manor, Lundenburg is indeed a fortress.

After the commotion in Newmanburg, Viscount Cliff, who rules Lundinburg, immediately sent someone to investigate. As for why he cares so much about things in Newmanburg, of course, it has something to do with some special guests in his castle. relation.

"Something seems to have happened at Newman Castle. Bishop Johansen and the others are still in the castle. Should we send someone to support them?"

The speaker is also a priest of the Rising Sun Sect. After the Lord of the Rising Sun awakened and the divine envoys began to walk in the world, the Rising Sun Sect's activities have become much more frequent than before, especially in the Golden Dragon Kingdom, which mobilized a lot of power to go to the dragon. After the defense line was closed, the people of the church became more and more bold in their activities.

The Sect of the Rising Sun, an organization that was originally dead and not dead, acted like a chicken blood after the appearance of the divine envoy, and it seemed that it was not hit by the Pope's disappearance at all.

However, Viscount Cliff said:

"Based on what I know about Earl Newman, even if he didn't make up his mind to join my teaching, he would never have killed Bishop Johansen and their lives. He is a pure businessman, and there is no benefit in offending us. made."

The tone of Viscount Cliff's speech was not at all the nobleman the church had just attracted, but the tone of his own.

In fact, the same is true. The Cliff family is not a small local nobleman who joined halfway, but a church family that has always believed in the Lord of the Rising Sun.

It wasn't that the kingdom didn't want to completely destroy the church, but eradicating the power of the church has already hurt the human beings and missed the opportunity to completely destroy the orcs, let alone clean up all its believers. At that time The Church of China is equivalent to the existence of the state religion of mankind, and it is regarded as the state religion from the bottom up. It is conceivable how powerful its power is.

Under the suppression of several generations of monarchs of the Charman family, the church has been kept low-key, but its influence is still not low, whether it is among the commoners or the nobles.

The Cliff family is always under pressure from the kingdom's suppression, so the castle naturally needs to be built stronger.

It is also very funny. The nobles like the Cliffs who secretly colluded with the church, on the contrary, fall slower than the general military nobles. Even after several generations have passed, the Cliffs' armament is still good, and the castle is not strong. Said that the hundreds of troops under his command were also carefully trained, and their combat effectiveness was even higher than that of the regular army of the kingdom.

"I'm afraid that Bishop Johansen and the others will encounter people in the black prison. Those guys are very difficult to deal with."

Although the large-scale campaign against the Church had ended shortly after Aragon disappeared, the Kingdom had never let down its guard against this enemy. As a special institution of the Kingdom, the Black Prison had always been responsible for tracking down the Church.

"There are only a few masters here in the Black Prison. Bishop Johansen himself is a great knight, and the few people he brought with him are also the elites of my teaching. As long as he is not surrounded by the army and wants to leave, the Black Prison should not be able to keep it. They, the surrounding garrison have our eyesight, if there is a garrison mobilization, it will not be able to hide from us."

Viscount Cliff and others have been paying attention to the garrison, but they did not expect that someone inside the Newman family would mobilize the private army to rebel and destroy the entire Newman family, let alone that Richard would appear here. The poor information made him not aware of the destruction. The disaster has come, but his instinctive caution prevented him from acting rashly.

"Let the soldiers be vigilant, and send a few spies to Newman Castle to inquire about the news, and then act when there is definite news."

"Um."

Although Viscount Cliff's plan was conservative, there was nothing wrong with it. After thinking for a while, several priests of the gods nodded and agreed.

However, there is no need to wait for the spies to be dispatched. The spies who went out before have already returned to Lundinburg and brought back a piece of news that Viscount Cliff felt dangerous.

"Lord Cliff, something happened at the Newman's house. The second son of Earl Newman led the army to break the castle, and then closed it for a day. Now the Newman's army is coming towards our Lundinburg."

The spy's face was also a little flustered. His information was not delivered in a timely manner, and because of Amin's rampant killing, many specific details in Newman Castle were not delivered, such as the lives and deaths of Johnson's church personnel. I haven't figured it out yet, but I have found the movements of the Newman family's army.

"How many are they?"

"There are about a thousand people!"

Viscount Cliff was slightly relieved when he heard the number of troops. The Newman family not only had a higher title, but also had more territory and population. The army under his command was two or three times that of the Cliff family. Not a big deal for Lundenburg.

Although they are at a disadvantage in numbers, the Cliff family's army is all elites, and the castle is used as a barrier. They will not be afraid of those people brought by Amin. What really worries Viscount Cliff is the city of Clays. garrison in.

There is an entire army of garrison troops stationed in it. Although this number is full of water, there are many empty wages, but after this period of rectification, the manpower has basically been replenished. The army of more than 20,000 troops is definitely burning. .

"Is there any movement in the garrison corps over at Clys City?"

"Not found yet."

After hearing that there was no movement from the legion in Clays City, Viscount Cliff's expression relaxed slightly, and he felt a little relieved.

"This Newman family's army is also a bad visitor!"

"Pull up the hanging door and let the guards prepare for battle. I want to see what the second son of the Newman family has in mind."

The soldiers of Lundinburg trained well on weekdays. They were ready for battle soon after Viscount Cliff's order. Stones, wood, and various defense materials were moved to the city wall to prepare, and several bed crossbows were prepared. The shooter was also quickly in place, just waiting for Amin's troops to arrive.

If it really only defended the army of more than a thousand people under Amin, then the defense of Cliff Castle is really more than enough. With the strength in Amin's hands, it is difficult to beat this kind of castle.

However, in the Armin army, there is a powerful presence that can completely ignore the six or seven meter high city wall.

"Lord Natalis, Lundenburg is ahead."

At this time, Amin had brought the horses to a place two miles away from Lundinburg, and observed the situation in Lundinburg in parallel with Natalis. Lundinburg had completely entered a state of alert, and the suspension bridge passing through the moat had been pulled up. , the iron gate was closed, and there were many soldiers standing on the top of the city, and a few cauldrons were vaguely seen. Obviously, some things like boiling oil and gold juice were burning. This is more than stones and wood. Affordable defensive weapon.

Looking at Lundinburg, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Amin couldn't help but look a little bitter. Compared with his own manor-like Newmanburg, Lundinburg's defense is not a little bit stronger. Diinburgh might be a bit of a chore.

But a defense of this level in Lundenburg seems relatively childish in Natalis' eyes, not only because of her own strong strength, but also because she has been fighting at Dragon's Breath Pass during this period of time. Whether it is a human or an orc, the offensive and defensive level is several levels higher than that on this great plain. I haven't seen such a dish in a long time.

"Are you sure they are colluding with the church?"

"Well, with the information on Yu Sidu and the Black Prison, and the Cliff's Castle is built so solidly, there are nine out of ten problems with Lundinburg."

"Huh? How do you say it?"

After all, it is not a local snake. Natalis is also a relatively pure force in many heroes. She didn't understand the twists and turns in some things for a while. Based on the information of Hei Prison and Yu Sidu, she suspected that Natalis still It is understandable that the firmness of this castle has become the object of suspicion.

Amin can only explain awkwardly:

"On the Central Plains, the castle can still be built so strong. Most of them are nobles of a new generation or two, and they are mainly concentrated in the east, closer to the Dragon Breath Pass."

"And most of the generations of nobles like our Newmans and Cliffs don't build any strong castles. In the aristocratic circle of the West Plains, those who build that kind of castle are hillbillies."

"Recently, the nobles who have colluded with the Rising Sun Sect have been found in the Black Prison. Most of them have built strong castles. Most of the soldiers are well-trained. When they resisted, they caused a lot of trouble to the kingdom's garrison. Xiu's sturdy, well-trained soldiers have become the main suspects of the Black Prison."

"Ah"

Natalis chuckled lightly. Although the logic was clear, it was somewhat ironic. On the West Plains side, there were no fallen nobles, but it was even more questionable.

"Lord Armin! Viscount Cliff refused our request to search the castle!"

The soldier who went to shout to Lundinburg has returned, and things really didn't go so well. Lundenburg's posture is not like it will cooperate with Amin's search.

"Let's look at this Lundenburg first and don't let anyone out."

"Send someone to Klaas City, and ask the garrison to support him in the name of Lord Richard."

Amin knew that with the strength in his hands, he just looked at Lundenburg when he did more.

But obviously he lost some idea of Natalis' strength.

"Don't be so troublesome, prepare to attack!"

"This?"

"Lord Natalis, we only have some simple long ladders. The gate of Lundenburg cannot be opened by siege vehicles. If we force an attack..."

"You don't need to force the attack, you just need to cross the river and climb up the city wall..."

After all, Natalis pulled out the cold moon and prepared to attack.

Amin could only grit his teeth, turned around and ordered:

"Number one! Prepare to attack!"

Five hundred soldiers carried some wooden boards, too long simple ladders, and began to march towards Lundinburg...
