"Thorin!" Roland saw Thorin rushing out and nodded in greeting.
"Your Excellency, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Turin clan in the name of the king under the mountain!" Thorin said faithfully.
"You're welcome, we have a contract after all." Roland pretended to be calm and said calmly. Thorin didn't know that if there hadn't been an accident with Renault, Roland would have planned to run away with him.
"Asog!" Thorin Oakenshield gritted his teeth as he stared in the direction of Raven Ridge.
"Give up, we don't have the ability to rush over now." Roland looked at the tired dwarves around him.
The kind-hearted Ivy is holding the staff high at the moment. The white light representing healing pours down from the top of the staff. In an instant, the bodies of the dwarves within a hundred meters radius suddenly lighten up, and the wounds heal quickly.
Roland immediately gave Ivy a high look. Hey guys, a range of healing spells. What a treasure. Even among third-level temple guardian priests, there are very few people with large-scale healing spells. Yes, it seems that we need to protect it in the future, and teach a few more apprentices in the future, so that we can form a medical team that all possesses range-type healing magic.
"Roland! Can you lead the knights to rush away from the orcs! Send me and my men to Raven Ridge!" Thorin asked Roland anxiously.
"Impossible! Gambada's orc reinforcements have arrived! I can't send you there to die!" Roland said, turning to look at Raven Ridge in the distance.
"Poof!" Roland's eyes suddenly widened. What did he see? The Rapid Infantry actually gave up on going to River Valley City, which was protected by city walls, and turned around and ran towards Raven Ridge, where the orcs were coming.
"Rush out! Rescue our brothers!" Roland's eyes immediately turned red upon seeing him.
"Sir! Your Majesty! My King!" Renault quickly came over and grabbed Roland's horse rein.
"Reno! Do you want to disobey my order again!" Roland narrowed his eyes and said coldly, and tightened his hand on the Dragon Slayer Sword.
"Sir! Don't question the professionalism of the Lagrand soldiers! They just made the most correct choice!" Renault said painfully. He was used to seeing life and death, and he knew what the Swift Infantry were going to do at this moment. They want to block the orc reinforcements, even if they only have 300 people.
"Only by quickly eliminating these bastards in front of us can we have any hope of victory! Only then can we save them!" Renault said sincerely, pulling Roland.
"I want to save my people first!" Roland rushed out of the formation regardless of the situation.
"But! Even if we rush out, we can't bring them back! They are infantry..." Renault said in a daze.
"Knights of Holy Glory! Target: Leave none of these damn orcs in front of you!" Roland looked ferocious. He knew that Renault's words were right. Only by quickly eliminating these obstructive orcs in front of him can it be possible. Go rescue the Swift Troopers.
"Kill!" A gap was opened in the dwarf shield formation. Roland led the knights to rush out first. The dwarves behind him also launched counterattacks under the leadership of Thorin.hit.
"They fight for the king." Gandalf, who was paddling with the fireball technique, showed an approving smile.
......
"Tiger!" The right hand holding the gun of the first row of rapid-fire infantry bent back and then suddenly stretched out.
"Pfft~" The sound of the tip of the gun penetrating into flesh was continuous.
"Ouch~" Many orcs held the barrels of their rifles and howled in pain.
"Poof!" The Swift Infantryman spun and pulled the gun back, and the orc who was stabbed was drained of his strength and fell limply to the ground.
"Captain! There are too many Orcs! We will be surrounded if we don't think of a way!" A rushing infantryman said anxiously as he looked at the Orc reinforcements coming over the mountain like a tide.
"Brothers! Are you afraid of death?"
"No!" everyone said in unison.
"Then in the name of Swift Current! Charge! For home! For Swift River! For the king!"
The Swift Current infantrymen raised their rifles and joined the Swift Current army. The formation unexpectedly started running forward in large strides, and the sudden counterattack caught the orcs by surprise, instantly stagnating the orc army.
"Oh! Beard, are they crazy?" A dwarf was shocked by the charge of the rapid infantry just after he solved his opponent.
"Oh God! How did they do it?" Bard, who was leading the townspeople to resist desperately in River Valley City, was also shocked by the small phalanx in the distance.
"..." Roland was stunned when he saw the rushing soldiers charging in the distance. The war horse, which had lost its master's urging, slowly stopped and wandered aimlessly on the battlefield.
The figure in front of me and the scene in my memory slowly overlapped...
The World of the Lord of the Rings, the year 2375 of the Fifth Era.
The Dark Alliance troops came to Lagrand City. The imperial capital that was once bustling with traffic is now heavily armored. The only six remaining dragon knights of the empire gathered on the city wall, and their eyes looked towards the distant horizon. The dark clouds are unspeakably oppressive... That's not a dark cloud, it's a war bat!
At the city gate, a total of 30 Lagrand Royal Guard Paladins commanding 10,000 members of the Lagrand Imperial Knights stood quietly, motionless like sculptures, as if Frozen in this time and space.
Emperor Gary Carr stood silently on the crenellations of the city wall and looked into the distance. The nine city walls of Lagrand City were filled with city guards with Lagrand characteristics. The sages got into the tall walls. In the Mage Tower, the priests stepped out of the temple and shuttled among the soldiers...
"Let's start the war. Lagland's survival depends on this battle!" Emperor Karl said lonelyly, under his rule The Lower Empire has lost a large area of territory in the south, and now even the capital is under siege.
"Boom~" The huge dragon gate opened, and the knights of the Imperial Knights, led by Lagrand's royal guard paladin, rushed out first. The passionate dragon roar sounded in the sky, Lagrand The last dragon knights rode their dragons into the sky.
The afterglow of the empire...
"Speed up!" Renault, then the Governor of the North, flew above everyone on the Holy Light Pegasus. Behind him were millions of player NPCs. coalition forces.
"Oh my God!" That was the first time Roland had seen such a grand scene. The noble blood of the Dragon Knight flew into the sky, the unyielding pride of the Paladin fell to the earth, and the once rare sage-level mage But his head was easily twisted off by ordinary orcs. The priests of the temple shuttled on the battlefield, and a series of human allies, including elves, dwarves, and trees, came from all directions...
At this moment , Roland saw a scene he would never forget. The Rapid Infantrymen from Rapid City and the Swift River River lined up in a square formation of 30 people in a row and 10 in a column, singing war songs and attacking one after another. The lineup of the Dark Alliance. With uniform steps, thousands of fast-flowing infantry were like the water of a fast-flowing river, frantically slapping the defense lines of the demons and orcs. Under their collision regardless of the cost, Renault's troops successfully tore apart their defense lines. At the last moment, he rushed into the crumbling Lagrand City and stabilized the city defense.
In that battle, less than a thousand of the 500,000 rushing infantrymen who followed Renault rushed into Lagrand City... They all fell on the charging road, and the outside of Lagrand City was covered with bodies. The remains of the swift infantrymen wearing blue and green steel armor, with their mortal bodies, they defeated the army of professionals...
Tears filled their eyes. Tears flowed silently.
The familiar figure from the past is now merged with their current self... Roland looked at the touch of green flowing upstream in the black tide, and seemed to vaguely see the rapid phalanx surrounding them. ...
"Those are the heroic spirits of Swift River..." Roland murmured.
Amidst the killing cries of the rushing infantry, they seemed to be not alone as they advanced alone. Their ancestors were still with them, forming a neat square formation and marching in uniform steps... The tall phantom of Lagrand City was vaguely visible in front of them...
"For Lagrand!" Just like in memory, the rapid infantry of the Lagrand Empire were still reliable.
The sound of breaking horse guns and the sound of shattered shields sounded... The sharp swords pierced their bodies, and the heavy war hammers smashed their helmets. They might fall, but They would never stop moving forward. From time to time, a rushing infantry fell, and the people behind him immediately filled his vacancy. After the horse gun broke, they took out their maces and waved them vigorously...
Roland's whole body was covered with blood. Trembling but unable to do anything, he could only watch his soldiers die on the battlefield just like he watched the death of the Swift Infantrymen under the city of Lagrand...
"No!" When the last Swift Infantryman died, After the wandering infantry were submerged, Roland wailed in grief and indignation.
They followed their oaths, and the last Swift Infantry in the world... died.
