Chapter 446 Rolling
The gunshots of muskets echoed on the battlefield before dawn, just as Tomen expected, these bursts of fire were not even a threat to Allen.
Allen made a few displacement movements, and Tormen's attack failed, but Tormen's subsequent attacks followed. The knight's long spear in his hand emitted a faint blue flame, and the human spear slammed into Allen as one. This shot didn't have any fancy tricks, and it only relied on speed to defeat the enemy, but it also had a bit of momentum. But in Allen's eyes, it's not enough. The source power that Tormen poured into the spear is not concentrated enough, and the momentum of the gun does not seem to be indomitable. The source of light is always intimidating.
Under the protection of Daniel's influence, Tormen has rarely used force in the past ten years. Even though one or two hours are allocated to martial arts training every day, training is different from actual combat after all. Those spear skills used from the training ground, in the eyes of people like Allen who have fought many battles, have lost a bit of bloody fighting momentum. This kind of spear technique is acceptable for performances, but it has many shortcomings when used in actual combat.
And even in terms of speed, it is far from reaching Regis's shining high speed.
Qian Jun slanted up and down, and immediately rolled up with unrivaled momentum. Falling into Tuomen's eyes, the black saber suddenly turned into a mountain, pressing down on the sky with an irresistible force. Tuomen's scalp was numb, but instead of retreating, he stabbed at a faster speed. He still has a bit of vision, and he can see that Allen's saber cannot be fully unleashed, otherwise this duel will be settled!
when! The knight's spear collided with Qianjun's blade, and Tuomen's mouth was in severe pain. The shock from the spear almost made him suspect that he had hit a mountain. The two sides collided with each other, and Tomen's light blue flame was suppressed by Allen's fierce flame without any suspense and counterattacked, shaking the Jazz back ten meters, but it also prevented Allen from running out of power and gaining a chance to maneuver.
Allen didn't take the opportunity to attack, and after Tormen regrouped, he said lightly: "Be careful."
The blade was filled with murderous intent, and even the air seemed to be filled with a bloody smell, and Tomen's face changed. Knowing that although the young man in front of him is young, he has combat skills, and he really came out of the battlefield. This kind of imposing killing intent cannot be obtained without vertically and horizontally killing the field. In an instant, the bloody smell disappeared completely, and Qian Jun's blade slowly melted away with a bright red luster.
Tormen screamed in his heart, he could tell that Allen was confining his whole body of killing intent, and the next blow would definitely be earth-shattering. He didn't dare to leave the initiative to Allen, so he had to rush to attack. A spear turned into thousands of streamers, and thousands of light green fireflies scrambled towards Allen, like a blue river rushing and churning.
Seeing the baron's gunshots like this, the soldiers in Sunset City cheered, but they didn't know that Tormen had no choice but to do so. Alan's eyes were illuminated by Qing He, but those gun shadows couldn't distract his spirit. From the beginning to the end, Tomen's figure was reflected in Alan's eyes, using the breath of Yuanli to sympathize, Alan locked on the Baron firmly.
The moment before the Qinghe rushes in,
Qian Jun slashed with all his strength, and suddenly there was wind and thunder. In the sound of the knife, Sir Tommen seemed to hear the roar of some kind of beast, his heart trembled, and his hands couldn't help but slow down a bit. A blush flashed on the blade of the heavy knife, like the refraction of the evening sky, but it didn't look so bright under the radiance of the Qinghe River. However, as soon as the red light entered Qinghe, the power of Tuomen's spear was completely broken immediately.
Qinghe parted in the middle, and the green fireflies dispersed, revealing Jazz's terrified face behind him. The red glow was flickering, and it was about to wipe Jazz's face. In the area around Allen's sword, the red light deviated from the original track, drifted across the left side of the door, flashed several meters, gradually faded away, and finally returned to the night.
First, a few strands of hair floated down, then a thin line of blood appeared on the left forehead of Tuomen, and there was a loud rumbling sound behind him. He looked back, and the ground behind him was torn open by Allen's knife. The scars on the ground penetrated into the soil three points, one can imagine that if this saber energy falls on him, he must be cut in two. Even if he has the source of power to protect his body, it may not be much harder than the earth.
Tuomen's face was ashen, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "I lost."
As soon as these words came out, the army on Allen's side immediately burst into a sky-shattering cry. In this battle, Alan's absolute power that completely crushed Tormen left an indelible figure in the eyes of the soldiers. If there were still people who questioned the strength of this young jazz before, then the soldiers have almost blindly worshiped him now.
The empire favors martial arts, and the strong are respected. Only by showing real strength can we win the respect of soldiers from the heart.
Contrary to Allen's side, the morale of Sunset City fell to the bottom, and an army without morale naturally lost its fighting spirit. Tormen still kept his promise, and he didn't completely abandon the dignity of a knight. He announced his surrender to the soldiers of Sunset City.
The city gates were thrown wide open, and Alan's army was able to enter the city. Allen also abided by his previous agreement with Tormen to let the surrendered soldiers and villagers regain their freedom. But that doesn't really make much sense. When the original flag of Sunset City was lowered and Ellen's flag of wolves and the flag representing Earl Auban were raised instead, it was tantamount to declaring that the city had been incorporated into Auban. In the earl's territory, and directly under the management of Allen.
In this way, including Sunset City, Sir Tommen's original subjects were naturally transferred to Alan's name, and in this way, they were also dominated by Alan's will.
It was already dawn when Alan was invited into the City Lord's Mansion. In Tormen's study, the baron shook his head and smiled wryly: "Lord Allen, it's meaningless for you to do this. If you let Sir Daniel know what you did, his army will arrive here soon. Sunset City You must have seen the situation, we are not a military fortress, there is no danger to defend, how are you going to resist Lord Viscount's army?"
"Before I planned to take Sunset City, I had already made some arrangements, and I must be able to contain Sir Daniel. At least in the short term, he probably won't take back the lost ground. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he really swings The army is here, don't I still have you, Baron Tormen." Allen said lightly.
Tormen knew that the moment he announced his surrender, it was tantamount to abandoning the alliance of Viscount Daniel. This indirectly bound him and this territory to Allen, which naturally became a relationship of honor and disgrace. However, the situation did not leave too many options for Tormen, and he was never a warrior who regarded death as home. He cherishes his own life just like ordinary people, and at the same time, he also knows that he chose to surrender, at least so that the people in the leadership don't have to shed blood and die.
The baron smiled bitterly and said, "I don't seem to have a choice."
"We've always had very few choices, haven't we?" Allen said.
"So what's your plan next?"
Allen stood at the window, looked at the city bathed in morning light, and said: "Conscript all adult men in the territory, open the armory, and distribute the equipment to the recruits. I have someone who will give them the necessary training. In addition, The army command of Sunset City is handed over to me. I have to integrate the army in order to deal with possible future wars."
"I'm going to be here for a month, it's going to be a critical time. Once we get through the month, it's going to be easy."
Tommen sighed: "I hope that as you said, Lord Daniel's army will not appear during this time."
The news of the fall of Sunset City spread throughout Daniel's territory within a day. The beautiful Lake Porterly is still showing its elegance in the sunshine, but in the Unicorn Castle, the Viscount uttered an unprecedented roar: "This damn Tormen has surrendered, useless waste, just like that!" Hand over the territory to Oban?"
After hearing the news of the fall of Sunset City, several subordinates of Lord Viscount rushed to the castle, facing Daniel's anger with trepidation. Sir Raffles said softly: "Baron Tormen messed up the matter of recruiting that Sir Allen before. In a blink of an eye, Sunset City was captured by the opponent. I heard that Sir Allen did not attack at all, but was with Tormen. There was a fight outside the city gate. The subordinates believe that this may be a premeditated plan between the two of Tomen, and they are planning your territory."
Daniel's chest rose and fell sharply, and he took a few deep breaths to restrain his anger. Putting his hands on the table, he said in a deep voice: "Raffles, your territory is adjacent to Tormen. Now I order you to raise all your troops and attack Sunset City first, and my army will arrive later."
Ser Raffles nodded when there was a knock at the door. The jazz all frowned. It was obviously not a good thing to disturb Daniel in this kind of meeting. The Viscount frowned and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and a soldier trotted to Daniel's side and whispered something in his ear, and Daniel's expression immediately became quite bad. He waved his hand and let the soldiers back out. Everyone in the jazz looked at each other, and Baron Oulu boldly asked: "What happened? My lord."
"It's Oban." Daniel clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the conference table. He said bitterly: "Just now the soldiers reported that Oban's army was found near the Emerald Mountains. This time, Oban made a big deal and sent three large servants under his command. The corps dispatched two of them, plus his own direct troops, and assembled an army of about 3,000 people outside the boundaries of the Emerald Mountain Range!"
The jazz all changed color, and after the Emerald Mountains was Daniel's territory. Oban put up this kind of battle, making it clear that if Daniel sent out a large army to attack Sunset City, he would definitely take the opportunity to attack. The earl's army may not be as good as the unicorns, but once they gain an advantage in numbers, even the unicorn army will be hard to turn the tide. It is foreseeable that as long as Oban does not withdraw his troops for a day, Daniel will not be able to use the army to go to Sunset City.
In this way, if Oban wants to attack Allen, then the task will definitely fall on Raffles and the others. Not long ago, their allied forces had just suffered a loss outside Allen's Storm City. This time they were allowed to fight again, and the Jazz would inevitably have a shadow in their hearts. At the moment, they even wanted to suggest to the Viscount not to pay attention to Sunset City, after all, Tormen's territory is not rich. Using a large army to attack in vain, even if the lost ground is regained, I'm afraid it will be a disadvantage.
While Daniel was hesitating about Oban's plan, at the other end of the Emerald Mountains, on the border of the Earldom, Oban's army composed of mercenary regiments and direct troops was building a temporary camp, along with some fortifications. After gradually taking shape and forming a position, Orban put on a pattern that he will not retreat in a short time.
In a tent, Aubain looked at the letter in his hand. The letter was written by Ellen, and it was handed over to Aubain by Roger before he left. Allen wrote in the letter that after he set off, he asked Orban to assemble an army and go to the border of the Emerald Mountains to gather Daniel's army. Allen wrote very clearly in the letter that the earl's army only needs to make a show, and there is no need to actually attack. Of course, if Daniel is so arrogant that he ignores the Earl and directly marches to Sunset City, then the Earl might as well take advantage of it, and Allen will withdraw by then.
This tactic can be described as extremely flexible, it all depends on how Daniel reacts. And Allen stormed into Sunset City overnight, and successfully occupied Tormen's territory. While the resolute tactical style surprised Oban, he also looked at Allen with admiration again.
He smiled, looked away from the letter, and landed on Long, who was acting as a staff member: "Mr. Long, what do you think of Sir Allen's actions this time?"
"Spiritual change, this Sir Allen is indeed a talent. More importantly, Viscount Daniel wanted to recruit him before, but he turned him down. He has some loyalty to you, Earl." Mr. Long said calmly.
Oban laughed and said, "Sir Allen is able to stick to his position, which is really rare. This kind of talent must be reused."
However, Mr. Long reminded: "Of course it should be important, but the earl can't concentrate too much glory on him alone, otherwise I'm afraid that young jazz will be arrogant. And the way to rule is nothing more than Balance is the word. The earl uses Sir Allen, but he has to be contained in other ways. Otherwise, with his talent, if he loses check and balance, it will be difficult to control him."
Oban nodded, obviously considering the matter seriously. At this time, a soldier came in and reported: "My lord, we found the army of unicorns."
"Daniel really can't sit still, that's fine, let me meet this old friend." Oban stood up happily, and led Mr. Long out of the tent. When they came to the edge of the camp, a soldier handed over a monocular.
Oban looked and saw a knight emerging from the forest on the other side of the Emerald Mountains, and behind the knight were groups of infantry. The flag was fluttering, and the pattern of unicorns could be seen on it. It really was Daniel's army. Among them, Daniel rode a tall horse at the forefront, and behind him was his elite unit "Holy Unicorn" legion.
