Chapter 276: Chapter 233: Queen, but Poster Girl
The troops were rapidly assembling, having conducted too many similar operations, the rhythm of battle was completely embedded in their instincts.
The Great Knights of Star Dragon City seized the heights first, leaving the common Soldiers of Mountain Demon Castle reeling from the sudden attack.
The Volcano Monster Bird and the suddenly uncontrollable scavengers were tasked with harassment, attempting to stain this golden wedding with blood.
Lord Baya had sensed something was amiss before the chaos erupted and felt even more panic knowing that Lind was very likely the one prophesied.
The Poster Girl had not revealed anything about Lord Baya’s future, but that did not mean Lord Baya was a fool. If he had not initiated the harassment himself, Lind would probably have heeded the Queen’s summons and then become one of his spears.
Everything was based on the premise that there were no conflicts of interest between the two parties.
Now there was a conflict.
"Protect Her Majesty the Queen!" Lord Baya’s mind was sharp, and he immediately thought of shifting the conflict. Only the Poster Girl and himself knew the specific reasons, so as long as he could shift the threat that Lind might pose onto Rania, he would be able to extricate himself smoothly.
Despite their confusion, the marketplace knights still drew their weapons.
They lacked discipline and were disorganized, but the strength of the Great Knights was genuine; dozens of Great Knights forming a formation within the Mountain Demon Castle were enough to handle any problem.
Everything!
Rania, who had been preparing for her wedding, looked puzzled; she had just been speaking to Lord Baya about Lind, and then his face changed.
She was forcefully "protected" by the knights loyal to Lord Baya and shoved back relentlessly.
The Royal Guard Great Knights, sensing something was wrong, tried to push through, but they were too few in number to successfully break through the marketplace knights’ shield wall.
"Protect Queen Rania!" Lord Baya continued to yell at the top of his lungs.
The Royal Guard, upon hearing this, instinctively drew their weapons alongside the marketplace knights. Since they could not reach the Queen themselves, they trusted that Her Majesty’s safety was not at risk.
The main reason was still that they could not push through, so all they could do was stand their ground, preventing the enemy from getting close.
The Volcano Monster Bird launched an attack in the sky, and the Great Knights retaliated with javelins and arrows.
A javelin successfully pierced the bald head of the monster bird, which stopped flapping its bare wings and plummeted to the ground.
Someone always succeeded, but there were others who fumbled in the monster bird’s onslaught, as one marketplace knight had his helmet violently pulled off his head by the creature, leaving a crimson trail of blood across his face, signaling that the grand melee had just begun.
"I knew there was something wrong with those things!" a marketplace knight cursed angrily, flailing his arms. When the scavengers also charged from the ground, the two-directional pincer move and the uncoordinated assaults from his comrades left him in disarray.
People started getting injured, and worse, they had not seen the soldiers in Rand’s infantry armor appear.
The scavenger’s bloated belly was cut open like a torn sack, spilling a strange liquid from its digestion over a marketplace knight.
"Ugh!" he retched, "Are these bastards raised in dirty water? Damn it, I accidentally swallowed a bit! Don’t burst these bastards’ bellies again!"
The Great Knights gradually stabilized their defense and were able to occasionally counterattack, among which the Royal Guard Great Knights stood out.
But whether they were "Knights of Honor" casually titled by Lord Baya or the Royal Guards from the dead Third Legion, they were all clueless in the face of this attack, not knowing why the war had come, nor where the enemy lurked.
It was as if an invisible Shadow had already enveloped the entire Mountain Demon Castle, with only the constant screams from a distance to be heard.
Finally, under the "command" of Lord Baya, the Great Knights successfully repelled the scavengers and the Volcano Monster Bird, leaving the twisted and putrid bodies of the Calamity scattered about, emitting a deeply unsettling stench of disgust.
Lord Baya was very satisfied with this victory. No matter where Lind was hiding, faced with his far superior numbers, the foe would ultimately have to retreat disgracefully.
"Find those ungrateful bastards first!" Lord Baya shouted loudly, "Today is the wedding of Her Majesty the Queen and me. The invited rebel Lind has turned against us with sword and shield, I thought we were welcoming a friend, yet it turned out to be a wild dog in disguise. Our blood shall not be shed in vain! Advance!"
Lord Baya’s voice incited a roar; war was the ultimate stimulant for human emotions, the bloodlust heated the blood increasingly hotter, making the marketplace Great Knights forget about many important factors.
For instance, Lind had clearly been getting along well with Lord Baya before, so why did he leave without a word and then suddenly attack.
And then, how did Lord Baya know there was something wrong with Lind, as if there was some tacit understanding between the two.
In an instant, the two abandoned peace and chose to wage war without consultation.
Everyone had a force pent up inside them, striding over the bodies, scanning every corner with their eyes for any possible golden figures.
...
"My lord, the defense forces of the walls of Mountain Demon Castle have been completely taken under our control," Pim stood in front of Lind.
