After Becoming The Tyrant

In the rules of chess, "rooks" can walk without limit on the number of steps on the horizontal and vertical lines, but they cannot go beyond the position except the king rook.This means that the chariot has only one mission on the battlefield, and that is to crush the enemy with a thunderous posture.All those who stand in the way will be trampled down.

Twelve siege chariots transformed by alchemy crushed the ground like giant beasts, and the moat in front of the city wall was already leveled by corpses and gravel.Along the predetermined route, they slammed into the city wall, accompanied by a loud rumbling noise, and the power they exerted was equivalent to hundreds of conventional siege cones hitting at the same time.

The city wall lost its mass at this time.

The stones flew up amidst the sparks and scattered in all directions.For the first time, twelve mobile war fortresses tore open holes in Jolin's fortified defenses.The knights of the Holy Army who followed cheered, shouted, and roared.They were too excited, and some of them got too close, and were even smashed to a pulp by the collapsed tower.

The flames were blazing, and the soldiers followed closely behind the fortress-like chariots, swarming up, eager to step into the city of Jolin, which marked the victory, and start fighting.

The chariot rushed into the city, but it crashed and fell into the deep pit that had already been dug behind the city wall.Immediately afterwards, iron arrows came oncoming like a torrential rain.In the light of the fire, the Holy Army saw that Legrand's soldiers were fully armed behind the wall smashed by the alchemy chariot, and longbowmen were lying on the eaves, shooting at the Holy Army entering the city from all directions.

"kill!"

Sisian put on his armor and directed the soldiers to rush in.

The skeleton chariot pulled the steel fortress and jumped out of the pit. If it was an ordinary chariot, it would have lost its effect at this time.However, the chariot made by alchemy cannot be blocked by ordinary traps.With the help of the alchemy chariot to bear the main firepower in front, the Holy Army rushed into success.

Armies collided, and the sound of fighting was deafening.

But it didn't just sound from the frontal battlefield!

The same deafening sound of fighting sounded from their left, rear wing at the same time.

The fire was blazing from the direction of their camp, Sisian turned his head in astonishment, and saw countless war horses galloping back and forth in the flames behind them.When they attacked Jolin, their rear and left flanks were attacked at the same time.The Holy Army has always placed itself in the position of the attacker, and all the elite main forces are placed at the front of the siege team, and the back and flanks are defenseless.

If this was a frontal battle, they certainly would not be so rash.

But this is a siege!

They were the attacking side, and Legrand was huddled in the city. They didn't need defense at all, they just needed to pierce Legrand's shield like an arrow.As a defender of the city, what did Legrand use to attack them?As soon as they open the city gate, the Holy Army will immediately swarm in!What are they using to attack the Holy Army?How could it be possible to go around their backs and launch an attack without anyone noticing?

Could it be that these Legrand troops grew wings overnight, flew out of the city wall, and landed behind them?

The unsuspecting follow-up troops quickly collapsed under the surprise attack. The soldiers who were attacking the city in front heard the noise from behind and didn't know what happened, so they wanted to turn around and deal with it.Except for the army dominated by the Knights of the Temple, the rest of the Holy Army, which was already in disorder, has become a mess because of this accident.For a while, the Cavaliers didn't know whether to continue to attack or turn back to defend.

No one understood how Legrand's army, which was supposed to be trapped in the city, suddenly appeared behind them.

"Border Holy Army!"

Sisian commanded the soldiers to withdraw from the city immediately, while quickly looking at the whole battle situation.

There were two Legrand armies in total, and one attacked their rear army, turning the camp where only a few wounded and sick were left, into a sea of ​​flames.An army came from the northeast and launched an attack from their weaker left wing. At this time, the left wing army that was caught off guard had been torn apart. It was an elite cavalry.

To the northeast is the section of the city that the Border Holy Army is in charge of.

Where the later army came from is temporarily unknown, but the left-wing army must pass through the defense of the Holy Border Army.If Legrand set off from the northeast city gate and made a detour, the frontier army would not be completely unconscious—unless they had already mutinied.

Sisian's heart suddenly sank.

Rolling stones pushed down from both sides of the city wall that the alchemy chariot smashed through, rumbled endlessly, creating obstacles for the knights entering the city to withdraw.The battlefield was in chaos.Sisian wanted to turn around to stop the cavalry that was stabbing in from their left side like a sharp sword, but saw a cavalry from the Holy Army go up to stop the opponent's unscrupulous steps.

Siolde led the Knights Templar to intercept the army.

The fire ignited the darkness of the night, and in the light of the fire, the two cavalry confronted each other.

………………

The sound of iron arrows piercing through the air, the sound of throats being pierced by arrows, the sound of blood flying, and the crackling of grain burning in the fire.

The world is full of vigor and vitality, life is passing by quickly, and death is in an instant.General John calmly commanded the soldiers to attack the weak rear of the Holy Army. In order to attack the city more smoothly, the rear wing of the Holy Army consisted of some weak and aging troops, and some cavalry who had lost their horses.This arrangement just facilitated General John who finally arrived at the battlefield.

After cutting off the Holy Army's transportation line, General John led his army northward to join the Rose Cavalry.It stands to reason that General John should now recapture those occupied cities in the southeast of Legrand, but they appeared here.

The news of consecutive victories in the southeast is true.

But unlike the propaganda, it was obtained by General John and Rose Iron Cavalry.

Half a month ago, the army of the Angor State quietly passed through the fortress in the Keya Mountains, arrived at the southeast coast, and took over General John and the rose cavalry.They wore the overalls of the Rose Iron Cavalry and carried the dark red king's banner, creating the illusion that these two armies were still fighting in the southeast of Legrand.Relying on the previous sacrifice of Bubas City and the tenacious defense of the Keya State, this time the Holy Army failed to penetrate into the west of Legrand, and the forces of the Anger State in the southwest were basically intact.The speed at which they regained the lost ground was no less than that of the Rose Iron Cavalry and the army commanded by General John.

Yuelin City could not stand firm during this time, and never sent troops to harass it even at night. The continuous victory battle reports with the southeast played a role in covering up on the surface. The Holy Army did not realize that Legrand already had a team that could Drawn reinforcements.

After changing the flag and armor, the army led by General John merged with the rose iron cavalry, crossed the Doma River, walked along the west bank that was not invaded by the Holy Army, and bypassed the city of Colin that was controlled by the Holy Army.In the end, they arrived near Jolin City two days before the battle, and entered the battlefield after the decisive battle started.

Keya's archer and Rose Iron Cavalry were traveling together, and the two sides had established a preliminary tacit understanding during the battle during this period of time.Before the iron cavalry charged, the Keya shooters took the lead in shooting from the left and right sides, tearing a hole for the iron cavalry ahead of time.Then the cavalry rolled up, widening the gap.

Life was quickly harvested, and General John observed the entire battlefield while beheading the enemy.

He looked northeast of the battlefield.

There is the royal army led by the king himself.

It's an all-out battle, and they're attacking instead of defending.

Therefore, they can only win and not lose.

........................

The dark red king's flag rolled up in the flames of war, like a surging sea of ​​blood.Opposite it is the cross flag reflected in orange.

It stands to reason that even if all the king's army in Yuelin City were to go out, it would be difficult to compete with the Holy Army in terms of numbers.However, at this time, on the side of King Legrand's army, the cavalry ranks were as dense as a forest.

Siolde was dressed in a white robe and led the temple knights. Looking at General Veraven standing opposite him in the firelight, he suddenly smiled.

"Fate is such a mockery."

His tone was relaxed, without the anger of being betrayed.

"We once believed that you could lead us to salvation, so we follow you here, but now we find that you can't do it."

General Veraven bowed slightly, showing no shame as a traitor.

The border is closer to the extreme northern ice sheet, and farther away from the Holy Spirit Bay and the Holy Court. The influence of the Holy Court has not been as deep as the Blacy Hopeless Inner Sea.But this time, the more important reason why the border countries participated in the Holy Army Movement was to open up their own sea routes and gain more benefits from Legrand.

Restricted by harsh natural conditions, it is difficult for the border countries to develop agriculture. However, in terms of commerce, it is actually difficult for them to compete with the hopeless inland sea and the alliance of abyss countries that are closer to the holy court.Before that, they used food as a bargaining chip based on these past disputes.But Theolde ruined their plans by causing rice to grow overnight.

After witnessing the scene where Theolde performed miracles when the soldiers fell into despair, Viravin clearly understood that the one who was walking with them was a full-fledged politician and emperor, not the previous ones who had no prestige but no means. Spiritual Pope.

He had to start thinking about other things.

Once Pope Theolde succeeds, how will he treat the border countries that want to seize the dominance in the siege?No emperor can tolerate this.And if Legrand is really destroyed and Pope Theold is able to revive the Holy Empire, then they will completely lose the opportunity to rise and develop.In this war, the Maritime Holy Army, which participated the most, is likely to be one of the biggest beneficiaries. Then, how will they compete with the hopeless Inland Sea Alliance and the Abyssal Nations Alliance, which are closely related to the Holy Empire?

However, what really made Villavin make up his mind was the news from Legrand.

After the frontier army arrived on the battlefield, they did not suffer too much attack from Legrand, nor did they cause too much damage to Legrand.The hatred between the two sides is not as irreconcilable as the Holy Land Holy Army and the Sea Holy Army.Before the siege battle was decided, he received a secret letter from Legrand.

Ferry III has led his army to break through the capital of the Holy Empire, and the news was blocked by Siolde.

The news from Legrand may not be true.But if Theolde can block the news once, he will be able to block the second message. The holy city can be destroyed, and the capital may also be broken by Ferry III.

Fate gave the border army different choices:

If they support Legrand, after the fall of the Holy Empire and Theolde, the hopeless Inland Sea and Abyss countries that rely on the Holy Court and enjoy a competitive advantage in commercial transportation will no longer be able to compete with them.Without the impact of the Holy See's teachings on commerce, their fleets would no longer need to travel in shackles.Legrand and Blaise, after being hit hard, will also be in a longer recovery period, and it will be difficult to expand to the border.

Villavin reckons their success rate is high.

If Legrand's news is true, only these military forces in Jolin City are left in Siolde now.As long as the Templar Knights are destroyed in this battle, Theolde and the Holy Empire will completely become history.And even if Legrand's news was to trick them into joining forces with him, as long as Theolde and the other Holy Army were defeated here, the Holy Empire would still perish in a matter of days.

After intense discussions, the senior leaders of the Holy Army on the Border finally agreed to Veravin's choice.

At the table of interests, there are no eternal friends and enemies.

All here are lambs, and all here are wolves.

"I should have killed you straight away."

Siolde ignored Veravin, he looked directly at the young monarch who had been baptized by himself in the firelight.

"I'm only one step away from what I want most."

The king didn't speak, and faced him from a distance, the firelight illuminated his expressionless face, and he stood before the thousands of armies.

In this world, there is no Zhuchi, and there is no Purlan.

Some are just kings.

He is the "royalty" authority itself, he is the "King"!
