Chapter 39: Sniper Combat 1
(Thank you for the low-key Godox monthly ticket support!Thank you!Brother Godox should be a new friend, right?Welcome!)
Led by Nell, the large force left from the rear of the gorge.
The two sides of the parting restrained their inner impulses, and no one turned back. Everyone knows that everyone's heart is not as calm as the surface silence, and any trace of emotion may cause morale to collapse.
No matter how much Vivien and Lolita worried about Charlotte, they were stopped by Nell silently shaking her head.
At this moment, this always taciturn teenager showed a rare maturity. It was Charlotte's words 'Because I am the temporary commander of this army' that the young knight's heart was sublimated again.
He began to understand the responsibilities of the surname Leslie, and he was only 16 years old. Before Charlotte understood the heaviness of the surname Clayderman, it was nearly 9 years earlier.
The star-studded heroic era never belonged to one person, and as later historians said, it was the most beautiful era for heroes and heroes, and at the same time, it was also the most cruel era.
"You didn't have to stay!" Hoyle said to Charlotte beside him in the spell array.
"It's not that I look down on you, but if I don't stay, you won't even be able to stop the pursuers for a quarter of an hour. β
"That doesn't make up a reason for you to stay, for there is an old saying that a king does not stand under dangerous walls. β
"That's because those kings didn't run as fast as I did. Charlotte shrugged at Hoyle, "You don't really think I'm going to fight to the death, do you?"
Hoyle couldn't help but sneer, "It's not like a knight did it!"
"I'm sorry! I'm a mage. β
"But you have a knight's half-sword. Hoyle gestured to the enchanted sword in Charlotte's palm.
His gesture of pointing at Charlotte's sword seemed to cause a misunderstanding among the hussars, who staggered up to Charlotte and Hoyle and saluted them.
He then got down on one knee and asked Charlotte, "Lord Count, do you need me to take care of your weapon?"
"No!" Charlotte pulled a sword flower, and the enchanted sword was full of light under the magic energy, "Why do you think so?"
The young man with short yellow hair and freckles on his face scratched his scalp and said with a smile, "You must take care of your weapons before the battle, and it is said that this is written in the battle manual of the knights!"
Although this guy doesn't look good-looking, his smile is unexpectedly warm and cheerful.
His appearance made Hoyle and Charlotte couldn't help but smile, and the former deliberately scolded, "Mallory, you fool! Don't you know that the Count has an enchanted weapon in his hand? There is only one way to make an enchanted weapon lose its sharpness, and that is to use up all the magic power in the weapon!"
The reprimanded Mallory shrunk his neck, but quickly looked at the sword curiously, and exclaimed, "Is this also an enchanted weapon?
"Yes, get back to your post!" Hoyle scolded.
"It's good, it's good......," the hussar named Mallory muttered, "I want an enchanted weapon too, but it's too expensive, and it's said that the cheapest is enough to save money for a lifetime without eating or drinking." β
His appearance reminded Charlotte of his past self, so he stopped Mallory, who was about to turn away, and said, "Hey, Mallory, aren't you scared?"
Mallory's eyes widened, "Scared?!, Lord Earl, look at what you said, of course I'm afraid!But what's the use of being afraid? Anyway, Lord Hoyle said that the brothers who sniped here are dead. Since the left and right are dead words, I can't let myself be like a coward and tremble with fear before I die, right?"
"Fuck off, Mallory, don't mess around here, you might as well save some effort and wait to kill a few more people!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Hoyle!" Mallory chuckled and bowed.
"Wait, Mallory!" Charlotte called out to him again, and said in Mallory's eyes, which changed from doubt to excitement, "if you survive this time, I promise you!
"Really!?Lord Earl!!Are you really going to give me an enchanted weapon?!"
"Huh, don't you care about knightly training skills?"
"Well...... "Mallory scratched his head, "I can't expect to get some knightly training cheats from a mage, can I?"
"You brainless fool!" "Hoyle laughed, "the Count is a direct son of the Claydermans, and has received formal knightly training since childhood!
"Really, really?"
"Now I'm going to go back. β
"Oh no! Count, a great man like you can't talk without words!"
"Fuck off, wait until you survive this battle, and then discuss this topic with the Count!"
Hoyle kicked Mallory, who gave Charlotte a hesitant glance and reluctantly turned away. After a few steps, he jumped up again with joy.
"Are you really going to do that?" asked Hoyle at Charlotte.
"I'm not going to tell him about Clayderman's family secrets. Charlotte shrugged, "Still, if he does survive, I don't mind keeping my promise." β
"Why? He's just a civilian who doesn't even have a name!"
Charlotte glanced at Hoyle with a smirk, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Because he's nostalgic and reminds me of some of the good old days." Also, Hoyle, my best brother Claire used to be a commoner too!"
"I'm sorry!" Hoyle duly admitted his mistake, "Have I heard of his name, one of the Icewind Castle Duo?"
"Hmm!" Charlotte nodded, looking at the dust that had risen again outside the canyon, and the pale gold runes loomed in the depths of those magic eyes, and they became cold and ruthless again, "So in order to prevent this name from being monopolized by that guy, I won't allow myself to fail here!"
"May the glory be with us!" Hoyle said with a knightly salute to Charlotte, "Commander, this time, for you!"
Charlotte smiled awkwardly, her sword raised to the sky, the blade against her forehead and roared, "May the glory be with us!"
Sonorous β
In an instant, sixty-nine warriors, including Hoyle, drew their weapons and raised their heads and roaredβ
"May glory be with usβ"
Charlotte stepped on the ground, and magic energy poured into the spell field along the surface of her feet. In an instant, the position shone with a light blue magical aura, which formed illusory chains that bound each warrior together.
The physical fitness of all of them has improved significantly, and their hearts are filled with courage.
In this long and narrow natural corridor, the warriors of the Temple of Tyranny collided with the sniper troops of Rocente!
