Long River Town.
The Lord Lord saw the smiles on the faces of Granlon and Forster.
I also saw a huge fishing net falling from the sky.
A large number of ambushes have also appeared in the city.
Lion Lake City Flag Guard of Granlon appeared on the street in front, and the elite who had followed Forster to escape from Eagle Claw Fortress also came from both sides.
Granlon and Forster, the son-in-law and son of Duke Alma, actually want to copy Alma's trick to capture Godric?
But Li Ang, whose retreat was blocked by the city gate, did not stop.
Even, Li Ang had a mocking smile on his face.
"Blow the trumpet! Shoot the arrows!"
The Lord Lord shouted, and then accelerated his horse again, rushing straight towards the direction of Granlon and Forster.
"Ambush me? Who doesn't have an ambush yet?"
Yes, who doesn't have an ambush? Granlon did not seal Long River Town. Long River Express's escorts had received orders a few hours ago to ambush in the city.
If Long River Town really didn't have manpower ready, the lord wouldn't dare to approach Long River Town with just this few people...
In fact, Li Ang really didn't expect that Granlon could actually put aside their previous differences and form an alliance with Forster.
But, want to use Duke Alma to deal with Godric to deal with Li Ang?
Godric came with Li Ang, and he himself was a few miles away...
When Long River Town was covered by a fishing net, of course Godric mentioned it to Li Ang, and they said it just an hour ago.
There is someone beside him who has been fooled before. How could Li Ang fall into the same ambush?
Besides, Alma was fully armed back then, and he didn't dare to get close to the highly skilled Godric...
But Granlon and Forster are only a few dozen meters away from Li Ang!
And they were neither riding horses nor wearing armor at the moment - they couldn't run or fight, but they closed the city gate...
If this fishing net fails to trap Li Ang, then I'm afraid it shouldn't be said that they imprisoned Li Ang in the city. It seems that they imprisoned themselves and Li Ang together?
Although the city gate behind the lord is closed, it does not prevent the troops from blowing the horns.
At the same time, Noldo Guard who followed Li Ang into the city all shot out Noldo arrows with shining silver light!
Dozens of Lion Lake City heavy cavalry on the front fell under a wave of arrows, including men and horses, and the heavy cavalry at the front fell into a row on the street!
At the same time, the sound of killing broke out in the city. Long River Express's escorts rushed out from three directions, catching Granlon and Forster by surprise - the escorts came out from behind their troops, and Eric charged at the first one with a long sword.
The smiles on their faces disappeared instantly.
Now, it seems that Li Ang's troops have surrounded them?
Moreover, before the huge fishing net landed on Li Ang's head, Li Ang had already rushed to a distance of only thirty meters away from them.
Now the fishing net did fall, but almost instantly it was crushed together by a dozen sharp knives raised from Li Ang's side. It basically did not form an effective obstacle. Li Ang still charged with a small piece of broken fishing net hanging on his body, and his horse didn't stop much.
What to do when faced with fishing nets falling from the sky?
Cut it off...
As long as the weapon is sharp enough and the mentality is stable enough, the fishing net cannot cover people while charging and cutting at the same time.
But it won't work if you just stand there. If you really wait for it to fall and catch yourself, people will tighten the net rope. If your hands and feet are restrained at that time, you won't be able to cut it even if you want to.
As long as people entering the city are mentally prepared, this tactic of covering people with fishing nets is actually not that effective. This is not a steel mesh.
Besides, the guards around Li Ang are all Noldo Ranger who are agile and have sharp swords. They are not the slow and heavy iron cans...
"Surrender or die!"
While shouting, Li Ang continued to rush towards Granlon and Forster who were turning around and running away, casually throwing aside a small piece of broken net hanging on their bodies.
Li Ang didn't dismount at all, Long River Town's spacious streets were enough for the horse to run.
In fact, the Lion Lake City heavy cavalry on the opposite side are also riding horses, but they cannot rush over at this time.
The lord asked the Noldo Rangers to fire arrows immediately, just to kill the heavy cavalry in the front row and let the ownerless horses and corpses block the opponent's charge.
Although the street is spacious, it is not a plain after all, and dozens of corpses are enough to make the heavy cavalry unable to run for a while.
As long as these heavy cavalry fail to speed up and form a charge in the first place, they will never be able to run again, because Noldo Ranger will create more and more corpses...
The Noldo Rangers who had just fought a street fight in Eagle Claw Fortress knew very well how to hinder the enemy. The Noldo Rangers in the back row had already consciously dismounted and jumped up to the roof in two or two.
In fact, Noldo Ranger prefer to fight on foot most of the time, because their equipment is light and their skills are flexible enough. Although they can all ride horses, riding horses can easily limit their advantages.
Besides, they are not good at using long pole weapons, and they will fight on horseback only when they need to shoot on horseback.
The Noldo Ranger's real advantages are their superb archery skills, their light weight, their agility and their quick feet.
Just like now, the Noldor easily climbed up to the roof and took up a favorable position, but the armored archers under Forster had no intention of going up to the roof - they didn't dare to go up, and it would be easy for them to step on the air and fall down.
This is the advantage of carrying light weight and flexible steps...
The weight of the Nordo's equipment is half lighter than that of a human archer. The weight of the whole body, including underwear, is only thirty pounds - this is including a full quiver of thirty-two arrows. Noldo arrows is relatively heavy, with a bag of Noldo arrows weighing eight pounds.
Noldo Ranger's suits are very strange. It is a set of Rune Armor that weighs only a dozen pounds. It is clearly cloth armor, but it has the defensive power of plate armor and the buffering effect of cloth armor - this is enchanted equipment.
In addition, their swords, shields and bows are relatively light, and the hoods they wear on their heads make the whole set quite lightweight.
Moreover, all of Noldo Elves are slender and slim, not too big.
Even a male Noldor weighs at most 150 pounds including the person and equipment - he is considered a relatively strong one. Risadiran is a relatively strong Noldor, but he only weighs 120 pounds or 55 kilograms without any weight.
For adult male humans, this is definitely too light a constitution, but all Noldo Elves are like this, and the Noldor still have great power despite their thin appearance.
This is probably caused by the environment. They often appear in virgin forests and need to jump up and down the branches of big trees. It is really inconvenient to be too heavy.
He has a light load, is agile, and is used to fighting on swaying tree branches. Now it is naturally very easy to get on a roof or something.
But human warriors are not so convenient. The average human archer with his equipment weighs at least more than two hundred pounds. Only a strong man with enough strength can become a qualified archer. It is not much lighter, and the weight of the equipment is there after all.
Moreover, it is difficult for humans to learn the light steps of the Noldor.
Therefore, it is quite difficult for humans to fight on the roof. The load-bearing capacity of roofs these days is not very good. There are just a few wooden beams covered with wooden boards or clay tiles. If you are not careful, you will definitely step on a big hole and fall...
But Noldo Ranger have been accustomed to moving in trees since they were young. Over the past hundred years, they have naturally developed extremely light footsteps. As long as they can theoretically bear the weight of their bodies, Noldo can basically move freely on it.
This gives Noldo Rangers a great advantage in places with complex terrain - the terrain cannot limit them at all.
As we all know, a battle is basically half won if the location is favorable.
If there is another personal draw, then we will basically win.
Now the location is favorable - Noldo Ranger are in a high vantage point, while the bodyguards are behind the enemy.
There are people and people, Long River Town is Li Ang's home ground, and since he is fighting against rebellion, the local nobles and common people will support him. In addition, if this battle lasts for a while, Godric will realize that something is wrong and will definitely come to reinforce.
As for Tianshi... there is no need for it, there are no enemies anyway.
"Surrender or die!"
Seeing Li Ang rushing towards them, Granlon and Forster could only step back, the expressions on their faces collapsed.
They neither expected that Li Ang would stop even when facing the fishing nets, nor did they expect that there was such a large and well-equipped army in the city.
"Wait! Li Ang! You don't want to lose both sides, do you?!"
Forster shouted loudly, turned around and took a few steps back, waving his hands.
He knew Li Ang's skills - after all, he had been captured by Li Ang once, and knew that he couldn't run away or fight, so his reaction was obviously much faster than Granlon.
Granlon glanced at Forster with some surprise, hesitated, and slowed down a little.
"Have your troops lay down their weapons!"
Li Ang shouted as he galloped past Forster and directly chased Granlon.
"Ah! I surrender..."
Granlon looked back and saw that Li Ang's sword had been raised, so Granlon immediately kneeled on the ground and raised his hand.
Both of them are talented people who understand current affairs.
This carefully arranged ambush ended quickly and hastily.
The two leaders surrendered, and their troops certainly could not resist to the end.
"Forster, tell me, what do you think? Didn't you defect to Ursula? Why are you still causing trouble at Long River Town?"
Li Ang grabbed one by one and dragged Forster and Granlon to the base of the city wall for interrogation on the spot.
"Ursula? Ha... She and Kaidelen set up a trap for me! Throwing me in Eagle Claw Fortress to resist Raven Kingdom's army... I even want her life now..."
Forster heard Ursula's name, and his teeth itched with hatred.
"Oh? What's more? I thought you captured Eagle Claw Fortress of Kaidelen... Then where did Kaidelen go?"
Li Ang really didn't know that such a thing existed. Brennus didn't mention it when Eagle Claw Fortress was there, and Li Ang had never seen Kaidelen. He only knew that there was such a person.
"Who knows... if I find him, I have to kill him..."
"Yes, Kaidelen is the real bastard..."
Granlon was also yelling at me.
"Okay, let's explain your affairs first. I hope you can survive until it's time to kill him."
Li Ang frowned, it seems that these two guys came together because of the same hatred...
In fact it is.
After leaving the Eagle Claw Fortress battlefield, Granlon and Forster arrived at the same place - Payne Village.
These two people are indeed familiar with the terrain around Lion Lake City, and even their running routes are similar.
They had rescued each other before in Eagle Claw Fortress, but now after meeting each other, both of them were yelling at Kaidelen. This hatred of the same enemy really made them feel like they were "the same fallen people in the world."
In fact, they don't have much grudge against each other - there is really no hatred for killing their wives. If Granlon really had such deep feelings for Nerida, Lion Lake City would start a mutiny...
What caused their conflict was just that both of them lacked a sense of security - Forster killed Nerida to win Lion Lake City. Of course, he would want to kill Granlon to avoid increasing hidden dangers, and Granlon certainly couldn't just sit back and wait...
But now that Lion Lake City has been lost, the two of them have calmed down. After communicating with each other, they both felt that they had been tricked by Kaidelen. Kaidelen had no good intentions from the beginning.
So the two decided not to kill each other again before killing Kaidelen.
And their current situation is not very good.
It goes without saying that Forster is a traitor, but Granlon used the king's seal to deceive Godric and get Long River Town. He also knew that he would inevitably face the pursuit of the kingdom.
So they decided to cooperate and planned to go to Long River Town first, at least to survive first.
Later, they met an acquaintance at Long River Town, who gave them an idea to set up a trap at Long River Town.
He asked Granlon to act with Forster in the same way he deceived Li Ang in front of the city gate.
This is the same rhetoric Granlon used before - claiming that he did not treason, but only captured the rebel leader Forster, and took back the gold seal for the king. But the gold seal can only be given to the king, so he has been waiting for the king to come to receive Long River Town in person. If anyone dares to attack, Long River Town will be burned down and the city will be buried with him.
This rhetoric failed to scare Li Ang, because it was not prepared for Li Ang - this rhetoric was originally prepared for Brennus.
They did not expect that Li Ang would attack Long River Town.
The two of them ran away before Li Ang launched the attack on Eagle Claw Fortress. They only learned through the news that Li Ang and Brennus had killed five thousand Gatu people together and repelled the raven army.
But he didn't know that Li Ang could command Noldo Elves, and he didn't know that Li Ang still had so many troops in the city...
In their opinion, there are Lion Lake City Flag Guard in Long River Town, and Forster's troops, plus nearly 900 elite troops.
Although the more than 500 newly recruited mercenaries escaped secretly a few days ago, but even so, Lionheart Kingdom should only have Brennus or the king himself capable of capturing this city at present.
And Eagle Claw Fortress was indeed led by Brennus before.
In fact, their judgment was correct. The main force arranged by King Ulrich to fight against the rebellion was indeed Duke Brennus. Brennus originally planned to support the thieves in Long River Town, so they also arranged undercover agents in advance.
But now, Brennus made a deal with Li Ang, and then sent an undercover agent to go and scrape Lion Lake City's territory. It was Li Ang who came to Long River Town.
In fact, even their ambush in the city was not originally prepared for Li Ang.
If Brennus comes - even if the Duke captures Long River Town, he himself will not benefit, and Long River Town cannot be granted to him. There is no reason for him to forcefully attack the city and waste his own troops.
If you don't know how to attack the city, you won't enter the city. The fishing nets and ambush they arranged are not for Brennus.
Brennus will definitely notify the king sooner or later and prompt the king to come to receive it in person - Long River Town is the direct jurisdiction of the king, and the king's seal must always be taken back.
Ulrich can take back the king's seal and solve the rebellion just by making a trip. This is actually a good deal, and Ulrich himself will not refuse it.
Then, Granlon and Forster will perform another show in the city and catch the king in an ambush!
"... That's it, we didn't expect you to come, but after seeing your flag, we had to try to see if we could stop you. But we found that you didn't have many troops and your attitude was very firm. It seemed that you couldn't be deceived, so I deliberately asked you to charge, trying to catch you by force first... I didn't expect that you also had an ambush in the city..."
Forster finished talking about this plan, his face was full of bitterness.
Although Granlon's rhetoric seems a bit crude, if it were used on Brennus, it might actually be effective, because Brennus had no intention of knocking Long River Town down, and he would get nothing if he did.
He originally wanted to collude with both internal and external parties to scrape the land.
So Brennus might extort a sum of money first, or let an undercover agent rob Long River Town, but no matter what, after he gets enough benefits, he will probably let the king make a trip.
It's a pity that Brennus didn't come, but Li Ang came...
Only Li Ang will not be fooled by his rhetoric, because Li Ang is a rebel, and the rebel territory he independently recovered can be legally occupied.
If Li Ang conquers Long River Town, King Ulrich will at most find someone to share Li Ang's rights, or increase Long River Town's tax requirements, but it will not leave Li Ang with nothing, otherwise it will be difficult for him to be the king.
Only Li Ang will really capture Long River Town...
"Do you want to capture the king and then defect to other countries? But if that's the case, no country on this continent would dare to truly accept you... Who gave you this bad idea?"
Hearing these two people talk about this simple but somewhat feasible plan, Li Ang was a little confused - to capture the king. Once this happened, any country would regard them as enemies.
Which king dares to accept a lord who has captured the king and defected to him? Isn't he afraid that he will fall into the same situation in the future?
"No, it's not to defect to other countries... but Alanric...Prince Your Highness will sign a contract of immunity with us."
Forster shook his head. "We also understand that if King Ulrich is captured and defected to other countries, he will definitely die soon."
This is indeed feasible.
If they can capture the king, their negotiating partner will become Alanric Prince.
Because, Alanric Prince is likely to ascend the throne immediately because the king was captured by the rebels...
It is indeed possible to exonerate them by exchanging King Ulrich for Alanric Prince's amnesty, as long as they do not harm Ulrich at all.
As long as Alanric is willing to sign a immunity contract with them, then these two rebels will not only survive, but they will not lose their noble status.
Catching people with fishing nets is indeed a reasonable method that will not harm Ulrich at all.
And if Ulrich is released after being captured, it will definitely be impossible for him to regain the throne.
Alanric Prince was able to ascend the throne without harming his father. This was a good plan.
"Alanric, that makes sense... who gave you the idea? Is this guy in the city?"
Li Ang understood and asked about the person behind the scenes.
"Igor, Grand Scholar Igor, but he is not here now. He said he wanted to go back to Lion City to prepare a contract."
Granlon explained.
"How is this possible! Igor is dead! I killed him! How could a dead person give you advice?"
Li Ang's face changed drastically - Igor was shot to death in Seven Forks Fortress, and died in front of him!
Vendathir and Wendilf were shot together by two masters!
One arrow passed through the chest, and the other hit the throat. Both places were fatal, and he ran out of breath on the spot. How could he still be alive?!
