Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

However, it is precisely because of the hard working conditions and great damage to the body that Kevin is also a diehard who resisted the Duke by force, and is highly valued by Bassot.

On the night of the uprising, Kevin personally strangled his former employer's family of twelve, and then became more and more eccentric and murderous, and his strength was also advancing by leaps and bounds.

It is said that he received the power from the "New God" from Basot.Some people have witnessed that after Kevin took off his clothes in the tent, blood vessels bulging like red rhizomes and intertwined roots were exposed on his back.There are even half-open and half-closed eyes on those thick nodules!

Of course, the person who leaked this information disappeared silently the next day.

"His Royal Highness the Dragon Prince, I deeply admire your perseverance. Although the general situation is irreversible, I am willing to cooperate with you and find hope in the almost doomed defeat. The enemy entered the city smoothly, thinking that the overall situation is in control, which is the best defense for the opponent. When you are slack. I will take out all the remaining materials in the reserve to help you organize the last wave of attack. In addition, I will lead my own guards to attack the city hall to attract your attention. "

For Kevin's suggestion, Albrecht's friend Wolfgang did not agree.

He was born into the Fogel family, and he always had the common businessman's problem of "doing great things while cherishing his life".In his opinion, under the current situation, it is a good choice to run quietly or even surrender to the Burgundians generously.

Anyway, in the identity of Albrecht, even if he becomes a prisoner, he will be provided with delicious food and drink. With the Swiss dwarf mining area and the Fogel family managing the family property, the Habsburgs are not afraid of not being able to collect the ransom.

Albrecht directly rejected Wolfgang's proposal: "My friend, honor and dignity are sometimes more precious than life."

The honor and dignity of the bullshit, you are just young and arrogant, you can't afford to lose!

Wolfgang wanted to scold like this, but he was only Albrecht's squire after all, so he finally chose to shut up.

Kevin seemed to see Wolfgang's thoughts and said: "Mr. Mage, don't worry. Our final counterattack actually has a good chance of winning. As far as I know, that cowardly Philip III did not dare to enter the first time. The city of Ghent is still chaotic. But in order to reassure people, he sent his children out and is now stationed at the city hall, receiving citizens and distributing supplies. But due to lack of prestige and experience, the progress is not ideal. Such a chaotic situation Next, my raid is likely to succeed. At that time, the lives of Philip III's children will be threatened, and the Roland knights guarding the castle will have to surrender obediently."

"In this way, when we evacuate Ghent, we will not only hold two important hostages, but also loot the mint. In this way, this trip to the lowlands will not be a failure." Albrecht's eyes narrowed. Turning around, I thought of the big benefits behind the big risks.

"Hey, His Royal Highness the Dragon Prince, I can promise here that after I catch the little princess of Burgundy, I can give her to you to do whatever you want. As long as you use your 'specialty', it shouldn't be difficult to conquer her. At that time, marry Princess Shinra as his wife, and a Burgundy princess as his lover..."

The female relatives of the two major European families serve him alone, how can this blessing be too small?

Although he was quite tempted by Kevin's words, Albrecht refuted it righteously: "Shut up, as a knight, I can't be rude to a noble lady!"

Kevin just let out a bewitching laugh and stopped talking.

The cautious Wolfgang asked again: "Is your information reliable? If it is a trap that the enemy deliberately lures us..."

"Isn't it a matter of course to install loyal spies among the descendants? The information they sent back is absolutely reliable."

Kevin's remarks further strengthened Albrecht's determination.

After the agreement was reached, the two split up.After the Burgundian army entered the city, it was far from being in control of the situation, and it was a last-ditch effort when it was in chaos.

Albrecht took off his armor, spread out a pair of wings with a blue chill, and the whole person rose into the sky in the rolling snow.

He wants to unreservedly release the power of the dragon veins, so that the Burgundians can feel the power from higher species.

Wolfgang used his flying technique to follow Albrecht.

It is not easy to rely on a warrior incarnated as a half-dragon to frighten the enemy.However, with his illusion assistance, the success rate would be much higher.

A dragon made of illusion is easy to spot.But if there is a dragon warrior hidden behind the dragon, who can distribute the real dragon power and breathe out the dragon's breath which is a monkey version but is enough to scare people, then the enemy is likely to really think that the dragon is coming.

Especially tonight, after a long period of perseverance, knowing that the enemy is about to retreat, the castle defenders will definitely relax, and maybe they will take out the remnants of wine and food, and celebrate with a carnival, and there is no defense.

The truth is just as Albrecht expected.He saw in mid-air, piles of bonfires were erected in the castle, and the aroma of food wafted into the night sky, mixed with the slightest drunkenness of alcohol.There was even drunken gibberish that echoed in the dark night.

"The Seven Sages are above, this is a great opportunity!" Albrecht was elated.

As long as he turns into a "dragon" to frighten the defenders and create chaos, and the ground troops launch an attack while taking advantage of the chaos, they might be able to attack the castle in one go!

At this time, Albrecht had tripled in size, and his muscles were tamped up, covered with dense scales. He roared, adjusted his posture, and dived towards the castle below.

Suddenly, he saw several bright lights flashing in the dark castle!

What followed was the screeching sound of objects slicing through the air at high speed.

The lead projectile exploded on Albrecht's scales, splintering and crackling.Although he didn't see blood, his physical strength was far less than that of the dragon, so he still suffered internal injuries and his movements were stagnant.

The dense rain of bullets continued to fire, tearing Albrecht's wings to pieces.More heartbreaking than the pain, he saw with his own eyes Wolfgang, who was flying behind him, unfortunately hit by a projectile and fell from the air like a rag bag.

"How could this happen, is the enemy already prepared?" He was horrified.

Chapter 150 Three Like a Clown

Albrecht, who was seriously injured, fell to the ground.The huge impact of hitting the ground made him dizzy and weak, unable to stand up at all.In a trance, he heard the sound of dense human footsteps, along with the heavy steps of the construct, getting closer and closer.

"The first actual combat performance of the Mark I was beyond imagination." A male voice said.

This voice was very familiar to Albrecht, and it seemed to be the Seris.However, the blood-stained eyes could not see the face of the other party, but they only felt that there seemed to be an indestructible golem standing behind the other party.

The self-proclaimed powerful prince of dragon veins also felt a sense of weakness at this time.

Yofu Ma carefully looked at Albrecht, who gradually faded back to his human form, and shook his head.

Tonight Philip III sent Mayo to take over the defense of the castle, replacing the exhausted Knight Nicholas and his troops.

On the one hand, it is because Ma Youfu's side is strong enough to protect the most important building in the city of Ghent.On the other hand, it is also the generous Duke, a little return to his allies.

Even in the process of handing over the defense, the gold coins stored in the castle are less, he will turn one eye and close one eye.

Of course, Yoof Ma is not hungry enough to rely on greedy means to make money, but it is still possible to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and use the Duke's gold coins to win over other people.

Just as he turned a blind eye to his subordinates, and then drank hot mead with Knight Nicholas and admired the snowy scenery, he encountered Albrecht's night attack.

The cautious Mayoufu had already taken various precautionary measures, but Albrecht's sneak attack had no effect.

When he was shot down by the densely enchanted projectiles of the Mark [-] Golem, the subsequent attacking troops immediately lost their morale and dispersed as birds and beasts.

Having suffered a complete failure, Albrecht, whose heart was full of despair, said to Mayouf: "My lord, I hope you will at least give me a dignified death."

"I think you misunderstood, Your Excellency Albrecht." Mayouf shook his head. "I'm not interested in taking your life. But I'm very interested in selling your life."

He glanced regretfully at Wolfgang, who had fallen into a pile of mud.How could this guy be so poor and weak, and was killed by one blow?Otherwise, a ransom could be obtained from the Fugger family.

Albrecht laughed at himself and said, "Mr. Marquis, do you really think that I am still valuable to the Habsburg family?"

Having suffered such a major failure and became a prisoner, he did not believe that his shrewd father would spend a lot of money to redeem himself and go back.The number one heir of a grand duchy like Austria, the ransom must be second only to the king, not lower than a duke.

Albrecht felt that the most likely possibility was that the two parties engaged in protracted bargaining over the issue of ransom, while he was under house arrest in a small manor.It wasn't until decades later, when everything was irrelevant, that I could be free.

By that time, the Habsburgs had already found a new heir—their smart sister would be a good candidate.

Youfu Ma was stunned by the other party's question.

It seems that the Habsburg family's education for their children is a bit biased.Maybe it’s because now, as the border lord of Shinra, he often deals with the barbarians in the Balkans, so the Habsburgs are still full of military virtues, unlike the skill points that were later added to childbirth and political battles?

After thinking about it, Ma Youfu is going to give Albrecht a good explanation, and let the dragon prince feel at ease as a prisoner in France, don't think about it - after all, if a dragon warrior is determined to escape from prison , is also a hassle.

"Your Excellency Albrecht, as a man, you have awakened the power of the dragon, which is the greatest value. The Archduke of Austria is already the most powerful prince in the Holy Roman Empire. If the Habsburg family wants to go further , you must have a male heir, you know what I mean?"

Albrecht, who gradually regained his strength, thought for a moment and thought of a possibility: Does his father want to get his hands on the imperial throne?

Albrecht hadn't thought about this possibility before, as the family devoted most of its power to the Swiss region.There is the "Longxing Land" of the Habsburg family - Eagle Fort, which is rich in minerals and cannot be lost.And now the relationship between the Habsburg family and several electors is not very good, so Albrecht did not think about this possibility at all.

The emperor of the Holy Roman Empire must be male, and must be a strong man with extraordinary power.Counting among the Habsburgs, he is indeed the best person to be emperor.

Albrecht realized a little, but soon showed a helpless smile: "Even if my father had a plan to make the Habsburg family's glory even higher, it can only be cancelled now. We will put a lot of resources All of them are involved in the battle to suppress the Swiss dwarves. Even if the family is willing to ransom me back, it is not something that can be done in a short time to collect the ransom..."

Yofu Ma isn't worried about that.He believes that this high-value prisoner will soon be realized.

"Don't worry about that," he said. "If the Habsburgs are in trouble, the Luxembourgers will be generous."

"The Luxembourg family? You mean His Majesty the Emperor? Impossible. Maybe he used to think highly of me, thinking that I was a young and promising nobleman worthy of his daughter, but after messing up so many things, I am under His Majesty. The value in the eyes has been greatly reduced," Albrecht said in dismay.

This Austrian prince is really not good. In Europa Universalis 4, it is about the kind of monarch with 4 points in military, but no more than 2 points in politics and diplomacy. Such a simple geopolitical pattern can't be seen clearly...

Yoof Ma complained in his heart, so he had to explain to the other party: "His Excellency Albrecht, His Majesty the Emperor wants you to be his son-in-law, not because of your ability, but because of your status. To defeat Bohemia's Hussites, how could he be without the support of neighboring Austria? You and the princess of Luxembourg are probably inseparable from their marriage. The emperor cannot keep his prospective son-in-law a prisoner for a long time..."

"Then why did I come to the lowland?" Albrecht laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Who knows, maybe your father wanted to bet on both sides, or to cover up the Habsburgs' ambitions for the throne."

Through Mayof's analysis, Albrecht finally had some hope in his heart.

However, if everything is as the other party said, wouldn't his many efforts, even his last blow tonight, become a joke?

Albrecht suddenly felt that he was like the clown at the court banquet, and what he did was meaningless, just to make people laugh.

Chapter 150 The Enemy Is in the City Hall

A scene suddenly appeared in front of Albrecht's eyes: at the banquet at the French king's court in Chinon, he was dressed in funny clothes, his face was white, and he sang a little song on the Danube to please the nobles of France...

Although the possibility of humiliating a grand duke's heir in this way is unlikely, Albrecht did not dare to completely rule out this possibility when he thought that the relationship between France and the Holy Roman Empire had never been very good.

After all, as early as the time of Otto I more than 500 years ago, the king of France began to use "King Alemanni" to milk Germany.

Although Britain and France have been brains out for 100 years, the two families are somehow related, and their ancestors are all family members, so they treat their respective noble captives with a sense of propriety.

But if he, a South German, an Austrian barbarian in the eyes of the white flag of Paris, pinned all his hopes on the so-called "aristocratic demeanor" after being imprisoned, the road would be narrowed.

At this point, he was relieved, and in order to get better treatment in the captive life that was about to begin, Albrecht said: "Sir Marquis, I hope to receive decent treatment during the time you entertain me. In exchange , I can provide you with an important piece of information."

"Please speak." Yofu Ma made a gesture.He has no interest in abusing prisoners. If the information provided by the other party is really important, he doesn't mind adding a dish to him every meal - roast pork knuckle with sauerkraut is good, Germans must be crying.

"The remnants of the rebels headed by Kevin the White Hand are likely to attack the City Hall tonight."

"I understand." Yofu Ma nodded. "Regardless of whether this news is confirmed or not, you will be treated in accordance with your status, Your Excellency Albrecht."

Yofu Ma waved his hand, and other people "take care" of Albrecht.

After the wounds are healed, he will be locked in a cell that can restrain his supernatural powers - just like the treatment of Joan of Arc, and then eat, sleep, sleep and eat every day, waiting for the Habsburgs to raise enough money to regain his freedom .

Compared to Wolfgang Fugger, who died on the spot and fell into a pile of mud, this is already a treat that should be grateful to the Seven Saints.

The defense of the Town Hall was stronger than the Mint.Not only the elite soldiers dispatched by Philip III, but also the strong defense line constructed by the French artillery, and a mere group of defeated soldiers who were bewitched by the New World Order, Ma Youfu did not think there would be a great threat.

It's just that there are now a pair of sons and daughters of Philip III living there, and the matter is very big, so to be cautious, Ma Youfu decided to go to the City Hall in person.

Called on the Roland Knight and a dozen elite guards, the group left Glavensteen Castle.

The heavy footsteps of the golem were particularly evident in the snowy night, and the surrounding scene was devastated by the war, making Knight Roland, who walked out of the castle for the first time since the start of the war, with a heavy face.

Youfu Ma thought that the other party was feeling dejected by the catastrophe suffered by the city, but who knew that Knight Roland was just constantly muttering in a low voice: "Damn, the shop I just bought was burnt down, this loss is too great..."

It can only be said that the piety of this knight was manifested in his hatred of the heretics and demons, and he was favored by the Seven Saints.People who truly have great benevolence and righteousness like Joan of Arc are in the minority in this era.

About halfway through the journey, Youf Ma met several priests headed by Milot.

Armed with all manner of ingenious instruments emitting magical auras, they searched the dark streets.

"Since entering the city, we have been looking for it, but the magical atmosphere in the city is too chaotic. Even with the help of Mirna, there is no way to find any clues from this heavy fog." A priest said.

Milna is the goddess of darkness, secrets and luck among the Seven Saints. In order to find out what the New World Order did in Ghent, the Seven Saints specially dispatched several Mirna priests, and even each of them was equipped with A relic of the goddess.

This kind of magic item that has been enshrined on the altar for a long time and contaminated with a little divine power is probably the ultimate reduced version of the artifact. Although there is a time limit for use, it can also play a considerable role.

"Everyone, don't be discouraged. Although those blasphemous cultists are very cunning, with our piety and persistence, we will surely win the final victory!" Pastor Milot encouraged.

If the hidden dangers of cults in Ghent cannot be completely ruled out, can Philip III sleep well?Can he, the secretary of the important minister under the duke's command, have good fruit to eat?
