Chapter 551 Taking Advantage Of The Situation Is Not The Best Policy
He vaguely remembered that the land area of the Milan Emperor Alliance was not as large as it is now, at least it should not be what it is now.
In the movie plot, after Arthur arrived in Milan, he talked with a group of members of the Paladin Association and learned a terrifying news.
Before the death of the Duke of Milan, the Holy City fell into chaos. A gang of robbers attacked the private residences of the King of the Alliance and the leader of the nobles, burned the houses and looted their property.
Among these gangsters, the most powerful one even has the strength of the peak of gold!
In that chaos, the Duke of Milan, the Duchess and the three ladies were killed, and the rest escaped and fled to the northern mountains.
It was in the northern mountains that Arthur met this group of robbers.
At that time, Arthur had not yet become a paladin, and with only a dagger, he defeated two gold-level powerhouses and wounded the fierce man with the peak gold strength.
Arthur fought fiercely with this group of robbers for seven or eight days and seven nights, beheading hundreds of ferocious beasts and jackal monsters, and finally won the victory and wiped out the gang of robbers.
After killing the bandits, Arthur did not relax his vigilance, and still left a large number of detection eyes to monitor the situation in Milan.
He saw from the magic eyes of detection that the dark creatures in the city of Milan became more and more manic and violent, and it seemed that some danger was about to come.
Arthur suspected that traitors to the Knights Templar might be making a comeback.
Arthur was waiting for the Church of the Holy Light to summon the Templars, but what he didn't expect was that the city of Milan went ahead and led a group of Paladins to the northern mountains.
This made him feel depressed. He didn't understand why the Church of Milan attacked the northern mountains first. Was there any conspiracy?
However, the reinforcements from the Holy Light Church came too fast.
Arthur didn't have time to mobilize more manpower, so he could only put all his eggs in one basket. With the main force of the Knights Templar, he prepared for a decisive battle with the Church of Milan!
They took a carriage, along the wide and straight road, rested at one post station after another, and replenished their supplies.
The axles and boards of these carriages are made of steel wire and wood boards, with strong structures and excellent performance.
Moreover, the car is loaded with large steam boilers, briquettes, charcoal and water barrels to store fuel oil, as well as several simple small alchemy devices that can make torches and candles.
In addition, the carriage is equipped with four strong Dragon Horses, which can carry knights and soldiers. They run fast, have good durability, and are not easy to break.
These four Dragon Horses are holy spirit pets of the Knights Templar, with an average age of about 15 years old. Their bloodlines are pure and advanced, and they contain powerful divinity and magical ripples in their bodies, which can leap through the atmosphere.
These Dragon Horses have been tamed to be very well-behaved. They only eat grass, don't eat meat, and don't bark when they pull goods. They are very obedient and won't make trouble.
Not only that, but Dragon Horse also knows how to drive a carriage and use it on the official road of the Milan Emperor Alliance, avoiding the trouble of detours.
The city of Milan is hundreds of kilometers away from the northern mountains, and under normal circumstances, it takes five or six days to get there by horseback.
However, because the Church of the Holy Light's reinforcements were too fast, on the evening of the fourth day after Arthur had just arrived in Milan, he ushered in the pursuit of the enemy.
The people from the Church of the Holy Light came from the north, apparently to prevent Arthur from going to the northern mountains.
In the Milan Emperor Alliance, the status of paladins is very detached. Even members of the paladin association dare not provoke paladins easily.
After all, what a Paladin represents is a powerful force, no matter how strong the Paladin Association is, it cannot withstand the revenge of the Paladin organization.
The Templars in Milan City are the elite of the Milan Emperor Alliance, with a total of only 3,000 people.
Before the paladins arrived, Arthur ordered his own deputy, that is, Li Ang pretending to be the paladin Arthur, to lead the members of the paladins to hide in the paladin apartment.
Arthur spent two days recuperating in the paladin's apartment with a few trusted knights, and then set off this morning.
Li Ang followed Arthur and a group of knights, sitting in an expensive, snow-white carriage with a unique shape, went around the city, looking for the stronghold of the Knights Templar.
Members of the Royal Knights of the Milan Emperor Alliance all live in the Temple of the Holy Maiden next to the central square of the Holy City, where the Holy Light Knights of the Church are on duty and can provide protection and protection. .
In addition, the Milan Royal Army was also stationed near the Temple of the Holy Maiden, commanded by two silver-ranked generals, to guard against the surrounding turmoil.
Arthur's destination is the Temple of the Virgin, and he has sent scouts to explore there, hoping to obtain the secret stronghold of the Knights Templar.
Although the Knights of the Holy Light did not expressly stipulate that they were not allowed to leave the holy city without authorization, everyone knew very well that they shouldered the responsibility of defending the city of Milan and the northern mountains, so they must stay in the city and must not leave without authorization.
But there is a winding path near the Holy Maiden Temple, which can avoid the inspection of the city defense army and the guard post, and go directly to the vicinity of the Holy Maiden Temple.
Arthur was going to use the path to make a roundabout breakthrough, bypassing the military camp of the Mirandi Alliance, and lurking near the Temple of the Virgin.
In the city of Milan, Arthur and the paladins were subjected to strict checks and investigations.
The soldiers here all wear the mark of the Holy Light and the Magical Robe of the Holy Light. They are tall and straight, with thick muscles, and exude a strong Sacred breath.
This is the clergy of the Church of the Holy Light. Their strength and holy power are perfectly matched. They are stronger than the bodies of the Common people and can undertake more work.
Arthur had experience in the northern mountains, and dealt with the Priests of the Church of the Holy Light, so he was also a half acquaintance.
In the city of Milan, in addition to paladins and priests, there are also many folk warriors who also have powerful Martial Skills and divine arts.
Arthur and his subordinates joined a group of folk warriors and participated in the battle together.
This team of folk warriors is headed by an old man.
The old man had dark brown skin, a gray beard, mottled hair, and a huge hammer on his back. He looked like a simple and vast stone statue.
The old man's clothes were old and torn, revealing bruises crisscrossed with blue and purple. His body bones were slightly bent, as if he would fall down when the wind blows, but he held the hammer firmly and walked extremely resolutely.
Arthur introduced Li Ang's situation to the other party: "Our deputy commander is a paladin from Eresalas."
"Ere Salas?"
The old man froze for a moment, then frowned and said, "That's the capital of the Southeast Alliance... No wonder you incorporated that place a month ago."
He paused, then continued: "So, what's your suggestion?"
"I think that in the city of Milan, the biggest threat is not the city defense army, but the dark creatures of the evil camp."
Li Ang smiled lightly, "Since they can smuggle into the northern mountains, they can naturally sneak in.
