Chapter 0247: Outpost for help
Demon!
These two words were enough to arouse the fear in the hearts of many people, but not including Renard, he frowned and asked, "You borrowed troops from us to destroy those demons?"
Lieutenant Beecher nodded, then shook his head again: "We don't know what's going on inside the demon's lair, and now we just want to block the exit of the lair first and wait for instructions from our superiors." ”
Hearing this, Renard frowned again: "How many demons are there, and you hundred and eighty people can't even block the exit?"
Since the other party has the rank of lieutenant, the lowest is also an officer at the level of squadron leader, so there must be one hundred and eighty people under him.
Lieutenant Beecher was a little gloomy when he heard this: "Although there are a full eighty-seven people on the face of our Nolan outpost, in fact, there are only more than thirty people, and more than ten people were injured when the demon appeared. ”
Renard was speechless, this empty food is too rampant, right?
Seeing his expression, Lieutenant Beecher hurriedly explained: "I didn't take half a copper, and even if I ate empty salaries, it wouldn't be my turn to be here, it was all done by Leander's bastards." ”
Uh! That's embarrassing!
Renard cleared his throat and showed Heidi an inquiring expression: "Why don't I take someone to see it myself, the Nolan outpost seems to be quite close to us." ”
Heidi nodded when she heard this, she was still confident in Renard's strength, but she still instructed: "Take Arka and them all with you, and let Cliver send two hundred black cavalry to follow you." ”
The Akar she said was naturally the four legendary warriors contributed by Leoper, and these people were almost the strongest combat power in the City of Plenty.
Renard didn't refuse, after all, the danger is unknown, he better be cautious, he still has a good life to enjoy.
I have to say that today's Earlde of Meredith can be described as a master, with seven legendary warriors and fifty-four Douqi warriors, which is close to the Duke of Duncan in terms of high combat power alone.
Most of them are Renard's subordinates, and the rest are more or less related to him, such as Bennett, Hamilton, and Taylor, and he is no longer under the lord Heidi.
Of course, Lei Ye didn't have the intention of usurping the throne, he came to the other world to enjoy life, how tiring it was to be a lord.
After Heidi gave the order, the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Squadrons were assembled within twenty minutes.
Lieutenant Beecher was stunned, if it weren't for the fact that these knights all wore the family crest of the Meredith family on their chests, he might have mistaken them for the elite cavalry of the southern legions of the kingdom.
Renard patted the other party's shoulder and smiled: "Nothing to see, let's hurry up." ”
Lieutenant Beecher reacted at this time, nodded a little awkwardly, and then rode his horse to lead the way at the front of the group.
The Nolan Outpost is located on the edge of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, and the so-called outpost is actually a simple military camp, and its main role is to monitor the natives in the forest and prevent them from moving.
It also served as a post station, receiving messengers and messengers who traveled between the two ends of the Forest of Beasts.
Don't think this is a beautiful difference, in fact, it is very bitter, after all, most of the locations of the outposts are not in front of the village or behind the store, and it is simply wishful thinking to have a good time or drink or something, and it is enough for the logistics soldiers to send supplies on time every month.
Most of the soldiers who were assigned to the post were not welcomed, or offended someone, so they were assigned there.
If it weren't for the fact that there were a few silver coins a month to receive a military salary, the people would have run out long ago.
After discovering the traces of the demons, most of the soldiers at the Nolan outpost wanted to escape, but fortunately they were stopped by Lieutenant Beecher because deserters had to go to court-martial, and he didn't want these brothers to be hanged on the execution table.
So after discussing it, they decided to pass on the information first, and wait for someone to send reinforcements from above.
However, on the night of the news, a small group of demons suddenly attacked the Nolan outpost, injuring more than a dozen people, and the soldiers became nervous again and tried to flee the place.
In desperation, Lieutenant Beecher could only appease everyone first, indicating that he would go to ask the surrounding lords for help.
Then he rushed to the Chesterton family, which was closest to the outpost, overnight, and was scolded for being bloody, and then he learned about the bad relationship between the two families a few days ago.
So he came to the city of plenty, full of hope, and the rest was clear.
At noon, the group arrived at the Blackwater River outpost, only to find it empty.
Lieutenant Beecher was stunned for a long time, and muttered, "Ran away? No! They certainly won't run away! Maybe something happened!"
Renard grabbed the reins and reached out to signal the group behind him to stop, and he looked around, but there was no sign of life in his field of vision.
Arka and the other four legendary warriors patrolled around for a long time, and finally the news came together, and they also said that they had not found anyone.
Renard sighed: "There are traces of a fight around, the blood has dried up, according to what you said, it should have been left from last night, there is a high probability that they have evacuated here." ”
Lieutenant Beecher was a little depressed, and the brothers did not wait for him to return, but became deserters.
Just as the matter was about to be settled, several sergeants suddenly ran out of the forest, and they were surprised to see everyone, and when they saw Lieutenant Becher, they immediately shouted excitedly: "Captain, you really came back with reinforcements!"
Only then did Lieutenant Beecher react and smile with relief.
Several sergeants came up to him and reported, "Captain, we were a little worried after you left yesterday, and in order to prevent more demons from escaping, we simply stationed at the exit of the demon's lair. ”
Lieutenant Beecher nodded, then pointed to Renard and the others and introduced, "This is Mr. Renard, the husband of Count Heidi, they know about the devil and have come to help us. ”
Several sergeants solemnly saluted when they heard this, knowing that the person who could help them at a critical moment was absolutely worthy of respect.
Renard returned the salute and immediately said, "Hurry up and take us to the demon's lair to have a look, hoping to have a chance to completely destroy them." ”
The sergeants did not hesitate, nodded and said, "Please come with us." ”
Renard turned over and dismounted, rushed behind him and ordered, "Leave two teams to take care of the horses, and the rest follow me." ”
The knights dismounted, and walked into the forest, sword in hand.
There are no roads in the forest at all, only winding paths that people have stepped on, and I don't know where they lead.
After advancing for about two miles, several simple open hoods loomed into view, forming a simple makeshift camp.
The sound of someone in the camp talking to each other, if you guessed correctly, should be Lieutenant Beecher and his brothers.
Again, this is also home to the Devil's Lair.
