Chapter 12: The Royal Dragoons
Seeing the countdown passing little by little, if Fang Linyan said that there was no tension in his heart, it would be false.
He couldn't help but feel that he really had to set fire to the surroundings in order to attract the attention of the authorities?
However, this trick is not a last resort, and Fang Linyan will not use it.
Because this thing is really a double-edged sword,
It is conceivable that as soon as he sets fire, the hidden personal log will definitely record these "great achievements", and then in the end, the hidden camp he has painstakingly maintained: kindness and order will inevitably go down the drain, you know, this hidden evaluation can affect the direction of the main line and side quests in the future!
At this time, Fang Linyan had already thought very clearly, if it was in a chaotic and turbulent world, it would be fine to get an evaluation of evil chaos and something like that, but if it was in a world that was itself orderly and chaotic, it would really be equivalent to being an enemy of the world, and it was estimated that the difficulty of the tasks issued would at least cross one level, and it would really be half the effort.
Fortunately, by this time, a man on a horse had rushed quickly, and the sound of hooves was very clear on the long street at night, and at the same time shouted loudly:
"I brought an order from the Ministry of Defense, all men are not allowed to retreat! Reinforcements will arrive soon!"
When he had said that, the man jumped off his horse and summoned the people present for an impromptu meeting.
At this time, Father Turks seemed to be in good condition, so Fang Linyan stood behind him as his attendant, and immediately heard a good news:
That is, the change here has attracted the attention of the royal family, so the Ministry of Defense urgently issued an order under great pressure to directly transfer a brigade of royal dragoons who were about to go overseas.
The group of soldiers had already boarded the boat and was about to leave for India, when the boat made a big bend and sailed directly into the Thames, ready to land at a pier a mile below, which was expected to arrive in half an hour.
Fang Linyan was shocked when he first heard the dragoons, it was still a brigade!
------- guy who can ride a relative of Onexia doesn't even deserve the title of knight, and can only be a cavalryman?
Later, after inquiring, I learned that the dragoons were just a good name for the motorized infantry on horseback, and their standard equipment was light armor, pistols and cavalry swords, but this royal dragoon was a rare elite, so they also carried the latest version of the Lee Enfield short rifle, which could form a storm against the enemy.
At the same time, in response to the abnormalities near Westminster Abbey, the royal family also specially sent a person with "special abilities" to deal with this sudden **, it is said that he was recommended by professionals.
When the countdown to Fang Linyan's mission came to one hour and fifty-one minutes, this dragoon finally successfully arrived at the gate of the square of Westminster Abbey, and it could be seen that they were well-trained, much stronger than the police sent by Scotland Yard before, and the leader was called Lieutenant Dan Kraka, a total of sixty-seven people came.
And there are still some people on the ship at this time, who will arrive later.
Although Father Tex was injured, he insisted on entering together to lead the way, while Fang Linyan told the priest that he could accompany him in, first, to protect him, and secondly, to see if there was a chance to catch valuable monsters and sell them on the black market.
Obviously, because of the previous rescue, the priest's favor for Fang Linyan was outrageous, and he simply agreed to his request, telling Lieutenant Dan Kraka that Fang Linyan was his attendant and would enter together.
The lieutenant had no objection to this, and led his subordinates to start the whole team, and then handed out the relevant monster information collected so far, and asked them to do a good job of relevant protection.
In the process, Fang Linyan found that these dragoons were luxuriously equipped, and even equipped with more than a dozen bombardiers, whose predecessors could even be traced back to the Wentworth Regiment formed by the English king in the mid-seventeenth century, who did not carry short rifles, but carried twelve wooden-handled grenades.
Then they began to advance towards the cathedral, and Father Turks hoped to wait for the special man, but was politely rejected by the confident Deputy Lieutenant Dan Kraka.
After entering the cathedral, they encountered a large number of flying snakes, but these flying snakes were quickly wiped out under the repeated fire of professional soldiers.
It's just that the sound of gunfire and the smell of blood attract a lot of other monsters, such as the moss-infected dogs that almost cornered Father Turks before, and the swarms of blue poisonous mosquitoes.
It's just that the moss-infected dog can't get close at all under the repeated attacks of the three-stage shot, and can only let out the mournful cry of the negative dog, and then it is tragically beaten into a bloody honeycomb and continues to twitch. The swarm of blue poisonous mosquitoes was lightly dissolved by the two grenades thrown by the bombardier, and when they fell to the ground, they exploded into pools of blue liquid.
After clearing the cathedral of monsters, the group did not go to the monastery, and the dragoons had an extra task to complete, so they began to march towards the adjacent cemetery.
Given that the police in Scotland Yard had been attacked by monsters on their way to the monastery, and that places like the cemetery were obviously more dangerous, Father Tex was also quite cautious when he came here, and repeatedly reminded the dragoons.
Sure enough, as soon as they came, they were swarming with a large number of giant poisonous mosquitoes and giant poisonous moths, which were like black clouds rolling and tumbling, and they all looked palpitating.
It's just that the grenadiers who came together are not fuel-efficient lamps, they have thrown out wooden-handled grenades to suppress, continuous explosions came, and they were all range damage, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke also caused a lot of damage to these strange insects, although some insects were not blown up, they flew a few times in the smoke and fell crookedly, quickly rotting into liquid and seeping directly into the ground.
Finally repelled these disgusting flying insects, the ground began to shake slightly, and the dragoons who were waiting for the battle were also a little nervous for a while, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, but they were not rookies, they were like elites who had experienced bloody battles, so at most they just squinted their eyes and waited for the order of their boss.
"Huh, that's?"
Because of the relationship between the dense fog and the dense fog had already been generated at this time, Fang Linyan's field of vision with the help of the drone was far wider than that of the dragoon, he hesitated for a moment, and immediately shouted:
"Sir, to the northwest, a large creature is accelerating towards a distance of one hundred and thirty meters, and eleven seconds are expected to come into view. ”
After finishing speaking, Fang Linyan half-knelt on the ground, chose to aim at the fog, and then pulled the trigger! As his gun rang out, a strange cry of anger mixed with pain immediately came from the dense fog, which was enough to prove that Fang Linyan did not say anything.
Feeling the more and more intense shock under his feet, Dan Kraka, who was the leader, chose to believe Fang Linyan and shouted:
"The first row of musketeers is ready to shoot, and the target is the direction from which the strange screams came from earlier!
Immediately, there was a "crackling" sound of shooting, and along with this series of shooting, a strange cry of pain sounded again from the dense fog! Dan Kraka saw that the shooting was effective, and immediately said:
"Second row...... Shoot! The bombardier prepares to drop the bomb!"
When the dragoons in the second row finished shooting, there was a red light shaking from the fog in the distance, needless to say, after there was a target at this time, the musketeers in the third row had already aimed directly at the red light and began to shoot.
At this time, Fang Linyan could already see clearly, this huge monster looked like a rhinoceros, with a single horn, but the torso looked more like an elephant, its gray-brown body surface had sparse hair, only the back had a horse-like mane, the muscles were very developed, and even the shape of the lumpy muscles could be seen through the skin, but there were fangs flashing inside the mouth, which made it look particularly ferocious.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the red horn on its head, which is carved from red crystal, which can be said to be very eye-catching at night, probably because it was hit by a bullet, so there are vaguely mottled black spots on the horn, and there are wisps of white gas.
Everywhere it passed, it completely regarded the tombstones and outbuildings in the cemetery as nothing, knocked them away lightly, and then shook the ground and shook the mountain, and the power was boundless.
In the crackling gunshot, the grenadier also saw the monster that rushed out of the fog, and threw out a lot of wooden-handled grenades, and immediately there was a "boom, boom" explosion.
In the hearts of this group of dragoons, first the platoon of guns fired three rounds, and then these seven or eight wooden-handled grenades were thrown over, and even a small hill was probably collapsed.
But what they didn't expect was that this monster's vitality was amazingly strong, and it could continue to charge under such circumstances!!
At this time, when I got closer, this monster was even more burly like a hill, roaring furiously and sprinting over, it was really full of oppression! If ordinary soldiers believed that they would have collapsed a long time ago, but the dragoons present were really extremely elite, and in such a situation, they continued to grit their teeth and insist on shooting, and the grenadiers also continued to drop bombs.
Finally, in a series of explosions, it let out a long wail, and in the middle of the sprint, its front hooves fell to the ground with a slump, plowing a long deep ravine in the soft ground of the cemetery, and a large amount of blue blood gushed out of its mouth, and it was already in a near-death state. Fang Linyan noticed at this time that there were also traces of strange moss infiltrating growth on its hooves.
Witnessing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief,
But in the next second, the crimson horn on the monster's head suddenly became blazing, and then exploded, and immediately saw a large amount of reddish viscous liquid like magma spewing out inside.
