"Isn't this a chariot?"
said Roddy, narrowing his eyes as if looking at the king.
At this moment, Roddy and the King, along with the Sith Master, were standing in a small schoolyard in the palace beneath the crypt.
The circular school field presents a concave arc, like an ancient gladiatorial arena, and the three of them are standing on a stone platform several meters high.
A stone door next to the school yard slowly opened, and out of it came a Sauron chariot, which looked exactly like what Roddy had seen in the last war.
Two tall horses, covered in fine armor, dragged a two-wheeled carriage made of iron and wood, with long, sharp-edged steel knives stuck in the wheels on either side, which spun rapidly as the wheels rolled, enough to kill and wound approaching enemies.
And the three soldiers on the carriage, one driving, one holding a shield, and the other holding a long battle axe.
"Lord Roddy must have seen the power of chariots," the king smiled slightly, as if he was a little proud.
Luo Di glanced at the king and said in a low voice: "This kind of chariot has outstanding advantages, but the disadvantages are also very obvious, in the open plains, it may be able to succeed for a while, but it is not absolutely invincible, if you meet well-trained infantry, as long as you use the right method, there is no suspense at all to defeat this flashy chariot."
"Oh," the king smiled leisurely.
Luo Di sighed: "First of all, the speed of the charge, a carriage plus three soldiers in full armor, as well as the weapons and shields in their hands, plus the thin armor on the horses, such a weight is a big burden for the horses.
Therefore, the charging speed of the chariot is not even comparable to that of the heavy cavalry, if I am the commander, as long as a lightly armed cavalry archer, do not fight head-on with the chariot, and fight and retreat, use the advantage of speed to open the distance, and avoid killing and wounding the opponent with bows and arrows at the same time in close combat" The king said lightly: "That's a different country of Thor's whip across the world, naturally proud of the cavalry, but my chariot is used to deal with the dwarf race, the dwarf race is born short in stature, short in lower limbs, not suitable for being a cavalry."
Moreover, they are in the middle of the inland sea, and even if they have the money to buy war horses, they cannot raise war horses in large numbers on the islands, so your assumption is not valid for the dwarves."
Luo Di frowned and continued: "Even if the dwarves don't have excellent cavalry, even if they are infantry, as long as they master the appropriate methods, it will not be difficult to defeat this kind of convoy. ” The king smiled as if he had something unfathomable, and just looked at Roddy.
Luo Di pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "If I am the commander of the army, stick to the city wall to resist this kind of chariot, naturally it is not a skill, as long as I give me a well-trained elite infantry, I can also defeat the chariot" He said slowly: "The power of the chariot depends on the dash of the horses, as long as there is a team of excellent archers in the back, a volley, shooting horses without shooting people, as long as one of the two horses pulling the chariot is wounded, the injured horse will not be able to run."
In the high-speed running, the chariot will definitely overturn, and then the chariot will be destroyed and killed" Roddy paused and continued: "And in the charging formation, even if you loosen the queue of the chariot, but as long as the chariot horses in front are hit, and the chariots in the front lose their mobility, then the chariots behind will also be blocked, and the entire queue will collapse immediately" Speaking of this, Rodi sighed: "I don't have to let the soldiers die in vain at all, the archers in the distance specialize in shooting horses, and after the horses are killed, the infantry rushes up." , the chariot that has lost its ability to move can only wait to be slaughtered. ” The king smiled slightly: "Then, Roddy, you might as well give it a try" He clapped his hands, and immediately behind the door behind him stepped a guardian knight, handing over a pair of bows and arrows.
The king took a step forward and waved his hand at the chariot below, and the soldier shouted and swung his whip, and the chariot sped rapidly through the schoolyard.
Roddy looked at the bow and arrow handed to him, and seemed stunned.
Then the king whispered, "Try it, and shoot the horse that pulls the cart with a bow and arrow."
Since it was the king who asked him to shoot, Roddy no longer hesitated, bent the bow and shot the arrow, and shot at the horse with an arrow, his archery skills were quite good, the strength and accuracy of this arrow reached a certain level, although he did not use the fighting spirit, but this arrow went out, the sound of "boom" broke through the air, and it had hit the back of the horse, and the sharp arrow broke through the armor on the horse's body, and was crookedly inserted on the horse's back To Roddy's surprise, the horse that had been shot did not neigh at all, and still tried to spread its hooves and gallop forward, not caring about the arrow wound on its body "You can keep shooting," a strange glint flashed in the king's eyes.
Luo Di took a deep breath and pulled out four sharp swords from the quiver in one hand, and then saw him move like the wind, "Xiu Xiu Xiu" sound endlessly, four arrows shot out one after another, each arrow accurately hit the war horse The war horse only opened its mouth and neighed, but still did not fall, not even the slightest stumbling under its feet, and still charged forward with its four hooves like flying "Hell" Roddy was surprised in his heart, seeing the king cast a somewhat mocking gaze, Roddy quickly drew a sharp arrow again Although his archery skills are not as good as Dark's, it is also carefully practiced, and this time he aimed at the horse's head "Boom" arrow, which hit the target.
The horse could not stand it any longer, and finally stumbled a few steps and collapsed with a bang As one horse fell, the other horse could no longer pull the chariot, and the chariot that was galloping at a rapid speed stumbled down, and the wheels were lifted in half, but fortunately, the soldiers who set up the chariot were prepared, so that the chariot did not really overturn "How" Although Roddy's last arrow finally knocked the horse down, the king did not show any frustration and looked at Roddy with a smile.
There was no joy of victory on Roddy's face, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "I lost" His last arrow hit the horse's head, and in the horse's high-speed run, it was difficult for even elite archers to find out how many of them would hit the horse's head accurately.
Most archers and soldiers have absolutely no such ability Ordinary archers can only shoot at the horse's body, but looking at the horse's body with five arrows, it still gallops, "This kind of horse is strange," Luo Di said in a deep voice: "If an ordinary army encounters this kind of chariot, I'm afraid that the archers haven't shot the horses yet, and the chariot has already rushed in front of them." ” The king nodded and glanced at the Sith.
A faint smile appeared on the face of the Sith: "This kind of horse is different from ordinary war horses, our magician has formulated a strange drug, this medicine has been mixed in the horse's feed for a long time, so that this horse can not feel pain at all, they have a strong ability to resist blows, even if they are hit by seven or eight arrows, they can still keep running, and the only drawback is that this specially bred horse can only have a lifespan of two years at most, we have tried and tested many times" Luo Di closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "Such a special war horse is really powerful, maybe only this kind of war horse can maximize the power of the chariot, but even if the archers can't break the chariot, there is still another way."
Luo Di opened his eyes, looked at the school field below, waved his hand, and said loudly: "If there is a group of high-morale heavy armored infantry in a dense formation, and the soldiers in the front row have the determination and belief to die, with the shield wall of the heavy infantry in the front, the soldiers behind the shield meet the charge of the chariot convoy with a special spear of three or four meters, and the chariot convoy may be able to break through the shield wall in the front row, but even if the horses are not afraid of bows and arrows, they are not immortal, the spear can kill a large number of horses, as long as the death and injury of the soldiers in the front row, The charge of the chariot can be resisted as well," he said slowly: "As long as the chariots in front of the chariot are blocked, and the chariots behind are crowded behind, can it still fly and not become a chariot without a charge, just a pile of useless rotten wood?"
"Well-trained, morale is high, soldiers have the faith and determination to die," the king muttered to himself, and suddenly looked at Luo Di and smiled: "The kind of army you are talking about, there may be such an army in your country, but in the Roland continent, is there such an army?"
He had seen firsthand the strength of Roland's allied forces on the battlefields of Thundering City and the Pamir Plains in the northwest of the Empire.
To be honest, except for the elite "Holy Knights" and the royal knights of the Sauron Kingdom, which can barely be called good, the other armies of the Roland Kingdom, in the eyes of Luo Di, are really unable to achieve "well-trained and high morale", let alone "soldiers have the faith and determination to die".
The king looked at the reaction on Luo Di's face with satisfaction, and said slowly: "That's right, this chariot of ours, if it encounters your country's elite infantry and cavalry, or it can't win, but it is enough to run rampant on the Roland continent for a while."
He then smiled and said, "I know very well that this convoy will definitely not be able to win if it encounters the Holy Knights.
But my purpose is not to deal with my imaginary enemies of the Holy Knights, but the armies of the Dwarves."
"Oh" Roddy frowned, he had never seen the dwarves and knew nothing about their army.
The king smiled, "I can at least guarantee that the dwarven army may be able to barely reach the level of well-trained and high morale, but it will never be able to do what you say with the faith and determination to die."
Roddy's eyes lit up: "Why" The king said lightly: "Because they are too rich" The king looked at the chariot below and seemed to be a little distracted, and continued in his mouth: "The dwarven race has earned a lot of wealth through the trade of iron and wood for hundreds of years, and the dwarven race hundreds of years ago may be very strong and can dare to fight against the alliance forces of the Roland continent.
But now, their courage has been replaced by a heavy wallet, and a rich man does not dare to fight with others" The king seemed to smile: "The army of the dwarves is well equipped, and the soldiers' salaries are so high, almost the highest in the Roland continent, but an army armed with money cannot really have strong combat power, Lord Roddy, you should be able to understand my words." ” The king suddenly smiled, took Luo Di's hand, and said lightly: "Okay, I've finished reading here, I'll take you to see something else." ” The two of them went out through the door behind them hand in hand, still without any followers, only the Sith following behind.
The three of them re-entered the palace.
After passing through several arches, the three of them stood in front of two large stone doors that were closed tightly.
There was silence around the palace, and there was no sound at all, as if everyone here appeared silently, and without the king's order, it seemed that everyone would be invisible.
"What kind of place is this," Roddy looked at the stone door in front of him.
The relief carved on the door forms a long sword with a strange shape, and next to the long sword is indeed an olive leaf.
As if to see Roddy's surprise, the king smiled: "This relief is a symbol of the Saga royal family, and it means: the ultimate purpose of the sword is to bring peace" Luo Di sighed: "There is some truth in this sentence. ” King Zhengse said: "This stone gate is behind this gate that existed at the beginning of the construction of this place, and there are some files and records left by the royal family of Saga.
Only members of the royal family have ever been allowed to enter here, and even the Sith has never entered, and I can tell you that behind this stone gate, the history of the rise and fall of the ancient Shaga Empire is recorded."
Roddy's heart pounded with the rise and fall of the Shaga Empire Could it be the historical truths that have been obliterated?
The king nodded, his expression was serious, he looked at Luo Di solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Originally, according to the ancient royal rules, outsiders were not allowed to enter here, but now the situation is different, the temple is struggling, and the Roland Continent has reached the most dangerous juncture, if the Sauron Kingdom fails, then the last fire of the Shaga Empire will be completely extinguished, so, today, I would like to invite Your Excellency Luo Di to enter with me to see the truth of those histories."

Roddy clearly felt that the Sith beside him seemed to have a slight change of color on his face, but the king shook his head lightly at him, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
"Then, Lord Roddy, welcome to be the first guest of the Shaga Royal Forbidden Land in a thousand years" After speaking, the king made a gesture of please.
Luo Di took a deep breath, with a little expectation, and stretched out his hand to push the two doors in front of him'At this moment, just when Luo Di was apprehensive but pushed open the door that hid the "door of historical truth", on the ground a hundred meters above, at the gate of the city on the edge of the royal capital, a light carriage was slowly entering the city.
After the soldiers defending the city checked the customs clearance procedures of the other party, they collected a certain amount of taxes according to the general standards of the kingdom of Sauron, and the carriage was able to enter the royal capital without any problems.
Along the wide streets, the direction of the carriage was all the way to the palace.
At this moment, it was broad daylight, and the streets of the royal capital were full of pedestrians, and the carriage was driving on the most prosperous street, but the windows seemed to be pushed open.
A pleasant voice with a little coquettishness came low from the carriage.
The owner of this voice seemed to sigh: "I can't imagine that this place is much more prosperous than the last time."
This King Sauron is really not an ordinary person, and it seems that the royal family of Sauron is very popular all the way. ” There seemed to be a slightly rough voice in the car who whispered: "How I can't see the difference" The coquettish voice seemed to smile lightly, and said in a low voice: "You haven't been to the Roland Continent, so naturally you don't understand."
She seemed to sigh: "On the Roland Continent now, the war between the temple and the kingdom is about to break out, and the tax we paid to enter the city gate just now was much higher than the last time I came.
Obviously, the kingdom has already raised the tax rate and is ready to accumulate wealth to prepare for warIn this case, can you feel the haze here before the war?
” The carriage gradually crossed the long street and approached the palace.
But he turned a fork in the road, and went to a palace next to the palace.
Before the carriage could reach the gate of the palace, a group of soldiers of the Royal Knights had already greeted him, and the officer who led the carriage stopped the carriage majestically, and then he knocked on the window and talked to the people inside.
The officer immediately changed his respectful expression, led his men to lead the way, and ran all the way to the gate of the palace with the carriage.
Moments later, the palace gates opened, and His Royal Highness Arvin, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Sauron, strode out in a shining knight's armor.
There was still sweat on his forehead, and his face was red after strenuous exercise, and next to him were several people who looked like officers in military uniforms, all of whom were also covered with sweat.
Obviously, they had been practicing martial arts together just now.
The attendant had already bowed down and opened the carriage door, and then a snow-white calf stepped out of the carriage door, and then a proud figure flashed out from behind the carriage door, this woman had curly hair, and was wearing a tight-fitting dress that completely highlighted her proud figure, especially the hem of the skirt seemed to be much shorter than the average dress, and her pair of slender and round thighs were half exposed, she stepped out of the carriage, smiled and walked towards the crown prince, and every step was taken, between the skirt and the drive, there was a faint hint of seductive spring light.
"Miss Nitsh."
The crown prince didn't seem to react much to her charm, and still maintained a friendly smile: "I didn't expect a distinguished guest like you to come to see me today." ” Nidis smiled lightly, but her eyes drifted slightly, as if almost the souls of all the men present had been hooked, she pursed her lips and smiled, and then said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I came this time, but I have brought you a few good gifts."
I've gotten some good wine in the southern continent, and I've come to Sauron this time to take care of some business matters.
It is to bring these gifts to visit you. ” At this time, there was another person in the carriage, who was burly, with a full beard, a pair of eyes like electricity, and a simple dress, it was Duck However, this time, he didn't have the signature longbow behind him.
Nidis smiled slightly: "Your Highness, I also brought you a distinguished guest, this is my good friend, Mr.
Dark, I know that His Highness is obsessed with martial arts, this Mr.
Dark, but he is a master of archery."
