Chapter 0682: Under the Blockade
Half an hour later, the lords were belatedly leading their men.
They couldn't be practical for such a long time, but considering the preservation of strength and other issues, they deliberately slowed down the march.
I originally thought that after arriving here, I could take advantage of the stalemate between the two sides, but I didn't expect the battle to end so quickly.
Looking at the mess all over the ground, the lords gasped in unison, they had an extremely intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the garrison in Gannan Province.
Three quarters of an hour later, Earl Richard and Earl House, who had gone to destroy the rebels, also arrived.
They were also surprised to see the corpses of demons all over the ground.
However, the two of them were young and vigorous, and after a little surprise, they became disdainful.
Earl House muttered in a slightly jealous tone, "It's just a ragtag army that has killed demons, what is there to be proud of." ”
Although his voice was not loud, it was still heard by many nobles.
In addition to lamenting that this guy is ambitious and talented, everyone also began to mourn for the family behind him.
Hamilton turned a deaf ear to this, and Wilson's expression suddenly turned cold, and he snorted coldly: "Then the next time you encounter the demon army, you will be the vanguard." ”
Not to be outdone, Earl House replied, "I'll come, I'll come, the devils are just a rabble." ”
He said it lightly, but in fact, there was a faint drumming in his heart.
I regret that I was jealous of the other party's excellent record, and said such rude words just now.
However, the words have been spoken, and it is difficult to collect them like water.
When Count Richard saw that this competitor was deflated, he secretly rejoiced in his heart: let you talk too much, you deserve to be unlucky.
Hamilton didn't bother to pay attention to the intrigues of these guys, looked at the gradually fading sky, and announced, "Ten miles further southwest, we will repair in Double Moon Bay, and wait for the arrival of the demon army." ”
Hearing this, Count Rogier frowned slightly, and asked, "Waiting for the demon army, then we don't care about the rebels?"
Hammidon turned to look at the other party and asked rhetorically, "Do you think the demons or the rebels, who is the most dangerous to us?"
Count Rogier was speechless, it was not that he did not understand the truth, but he was very reluctant to face the terrible demon.
The terrible catastrophe of more than 30 years ago brought him a huge psychological shadow, and he really did not have the courage to face those guys who eat people and do not spit out bones.
However, he also knows that there are some things that cannot be solved by escaping.
Thinking of this, he sighed deeply and said bitterly, "Okay then." ”
After receiving everyone's approval, Hammidon waved his hand and led the army towards Double Moon Bay.
Ten miles to the southwest, there are two crescent-like peaks here, and a clear river flows through them, hence the name Shuangyue Bay.
At this time, there are tens of thousands of demons wandering here, still in an old-fashioned configuration, and the cannon fodder demons are mixed with twenty percent of the miscellaneous demons.
However, unlike the demon army that was destroyed before, there were hundreds of high-level demons in this army, and the Abyss Demon Alchemist Hagatis was the commander of this army.
At this moment, the demon commander was listening to the report of his subordinates.
After listening for a moment, the Abyss Demon Alchemist Hagatis spat out an evil note: "You mean to say that you have encountered a large force of human cavalry?"
The minotaur who was kneeling on the ground didn't dare to raise his head at all, but desperately suppressed his trembling body, and replied tremblingly: "That's right, Your Excellency Commander. ”
Abyss Demon Refining Hagatis slowly exhaled, and the strong smell of sulfur spread: "You said that my tens of thousands of troops were strangled by the other party in just a few dozen minutes?"
The Minotaur felt irrepressible fear in his heart, and he replied stumblingly: "To be precise, as soon as the two sides met, our tens of thousands of armies were wiped out. ”
Although the Minotaur is not weak in combat, they are low-level demons, or inferior demons, due to their low IQ.
From the conversation just now, it can be seen that any demon with a little brain will not say such words that elevate his opponent and belittle himself.
The corners of the Abyss Demon Refining Hagatis's mouth hooked up a chilling smile, and he asked again, "Since the enemy is so powerful, how did you escape back?"
The Minotaur slowly raised his head, and a flattering expression appeared on his face: "I ......"
Before he could say the next words, Hagatis grabbed him by the throat with his right hand.
The expression on the Scythe Demon's face became extremely frightened, and before he could resist, he felt his throat hot, and the feeling of burning spread throughout his body in an instant.
Before he could exhale in pain, his entire body was scorched under the scorching flames of the abyss.
The Minotaur, which is so powerful that it is comparable to a high-level human martial artist, has no power to resist in the face of the abyss demon refining with legendary strength.
Hagatis casually threw the corpse into the herd of Abyssal Demon Dogs, and then the crunching sound was clearly heard.
When the demons heard this, instead of feeling terrified, they showed salivating expressions.
Seeing this, Hagatis sneered: "Don't feel greedy, there will be more delicious meat delivered to your door soon." ”
The demons couldn't help but stir when they heard this.
Hagatis was right, the army led by Hamilton was less than two kilometers away, and the Sentinels had already discovered the demons' movements.
When they heard the news that tens of thousands of demons were stationed in Shuangyue Bay, the lords immediately blew up and said that they wanted to take a detour.
That's an army of tens of thousands of demons, and if you're not careful, you'll be gnawed to the point that you don't even have a bone left.
How could Hamilton accede to such a ridiculous request, and his reply was much the same as before: "Stay here if you are afraid of death." ”
He didn't know why he was moving with these wine bags and rice bags, and it didn't seem to be of any use other than slowing down the march.
Of course, it is not completely useless, at least when it comes to resting at night, these people can still be responsible for the vigil.
Wilson looked at Earl House, saw the other party's face turned pale with fear, and couldn't help but sneer, "Coward." ”
His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the other party's ears, obviously on purpose.
Earl House's face suddenly turned from pale to red, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, and at last all the words were held in his throat.
Although he was young and vigorous, he was not completely brainless, and knew that now was not the time to be reckless.
However, unexpectedly, Count Rogil, who had previously feared demons like a tiger, suddenly stood up and said hesitantly: "I...... I'm going with you to slay the demons. ”
Hammidon looked at the other in surprise, he thought that Earl Richard or Earl House would join the battle under the influence of the Agitation Law, but he never thought that this old nobleman who was over seventy years old would take the initiative to ask for help.
This really does not fit the image of the other party as scheming.
Count Rogier noticed the strange eyes of the people around him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I just want to get back what I lost more than thirty years ago." ”
Something lost?
Han Midon showed a thoughtful expression, and then said: "Okay, we will advance as the main force head-on, and you will lead your subordinates to insert ...... from the flank."
Subsequently, all the nobles who dared to go to war were assigned tasks.
In order to prevent them from retreating, they were arranged with tasks that were not very important.
Count Richard and Earl House were also involved, and the two were brave on the surface, but in fact they were afraid of death, so they were placed in the rear of the army and were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.
After the assignment of tasks, the units advanced to the designated area according to the plan.
Wilson sat on his horse and asked Count Rogier beside him with curiosity, "What did you lose more than thirty years ago?"
Count Rogier turned his head to look at the other party, with a complicated expression on his face: "I have lost a lot. ”
He took a deep breath and said in a bitter tone: "For example, the courage and audacity in the face of the enemy. ”
As he spoke, he clenched the sword at his waist: "Hopefully I can use this battle to get them back." ”
Wilson opened his mouth, sighed in default, and said, "Then please follow me closely." ”
Hearing this, the corner of Count Rogil's mouth raised a confident smile: "It's you who follow me closely." ”
As he spoke, he hit his horse and left.
Wilson was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled, and rode his horse to follow.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the two of them led their troops to the intended place.
At this time, the main force had already fought with the demon army, and thousands of iron horsemen bravely advanced, tearing apart the temporary array formed by the demons with extremely fast speed.
Seeing this scene, Count Rogier only felt a fire burning in his chest, and he felt that what he had lost was slowly returning to his body.
He drew his sword at his waist, lifted his breath, and shouted, "For the glory of the knight!"
With that, he pinched the belly of the horse and rushed straight to the flank of the demon army.
Wilson was arranged by Hamilton to protect the other party, and when he saw this, he hurriedly rode his horse after him, and the knight followed closely behind him, and the rumbling of horses' hooves was like a mountain of horses.
The strongest forces of the crusading army advanced in an all-round way, and even in the face of an enemy several times their own, they still showed an overwhelming advantage.
Abyssal Demon Alchemist Hagatis finally realized the strength of this human army, and when his troops lost more than two-thirds of their troops, he decisively slipped away quietly with his descendants.
The next scene is self-evident, the demon army directly collapsed, and the mountains were full of demons fleeing in confusion.
Count Rogier swung his sword and slashed several low-level demons that had escaped, only to feel extremely happy, as if the whole person was dozens of years younger.
He was just about to continue riding his horse when he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Count Rogiel, please wait, we have found two wounded, it seems that they have escaped from the Twilight City." ”
It was Hamilton who spoke, and he said in a deep voice, "The city of twilight has not yet been breached, and the inhabitants there are still holding out, and they need our rescue. ”
Count Rogier was shocked when he heard this: "Someone needs our help?"
Hammidon nodded, "That's right, there are still tens of thousands of residents there that we need to rescue. ”
Count Rogiel's eyes suddenly lit up, he clenched the hilt of his sword, and said with a murderous face: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go to the Twilight City." ”
