Chapter 322: Defending the Homeland
"Don't underestimate their fighting power, it's not for nothing that the Romanian royal family uses them to defend the only port connected to the outside world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but any member of the Heroic Knights Legion must be proficient in the use of spears, heavy swords, and even bows and crossbows, and the most important thing is that their combat effectiveness is still undiminished even after leaving the horse, you must know that their training standards are based on the Italian Brute Bull Army. ”
The Italian Brute Bull Army, when he was in Venice, Zheng Fei dealt with them, and those guys who were bigger than Santiago were so brutal and rough that they could smash the wall with their fists, which should not be underestimated.
So, how much combat effectiveness can the heroic knight legion that takes it as a model maintain?
Zheng Fei's interest was aroused a little bit, and he smiled, watching them fly past him and fly away.
Soon, the knightly legions were all gone, returning the path that had been occupied for a few minutes to the admirers.
Zheng Fei wanted to wait for the dust to clear before leaving, but suddenly heard Brad shouting in a deep voice: "Follow them, quick!"
Puzzled, he looked at the panicked but calm Brad, and just as he was about to ask, he noticed that the little beggars of the Harrison family had disappeared, and immediately understood something, this is definitely not a good phenomenon.
"I smell danger. Brad reached for the gun at his waist, and his more than ten years of exile had trained him to anticipate danger quite strongly.
Zheng Fei didn't delay any longer, and immediately asked the coachman to drive to follow.
"Wow, you want to keep up with the great Heroic Knights?" the coachman obediently complied, but his face was full of disdain.
The wheels rolled, and under the surprised gaze of passers-by, they chased the hooves of the knightly legion and ran to the shore a few hundred meters away.
On both sides of the street, on the top floor of the building, behind half-hidden windows.
The musketeers, who had been lurking for a long time, slammed down the wall, put away their guns and poked their heads out, looking at the tallest building dozens of meters away, only to see the leader waving a black flag indicating retreat.
"!" they cursed at the leader's indecision.
Afterwards, they quickly hid the muskets in a long crate, disguised themselves as porters and carried the boxes downstairs, turning a few corners and meeting in a secluded empty courtyard.
"Boss, why didn't you give the order to shoot?" As soon as they entered the courtyard, some people couldn't help but complain.
The leader was the man he had met with John Cena in the tavern a few days earlier, and he was the head of the Harrison family in Constanta.
The leader sat down on the stone steps, took off his brimmed hat, snorted in annoyance, and glared at him.
"I ask you, who are you?"
"We ......" his subordinates couldn't answer, not because they were afraid of him, but because they were asked by him.
"Then I'll tell you. The leader stood up, his hands behind his back and his chest straightened, and glared angrily: "You are mercenaries of the Harrison family!"
"But it only takes one shot to kill them, and easily catch that Oriental man for Lord William. ”
Lord William refers to William Harrison, the future commander of the Harrison family who was captured by Zheng Fei.
"And then? The Heroic Knights have just left, and the shooting won't lure them back? What are you going to do with them? I'm afraid we'll all bury that Oriental man when the time comes! Remember to me wherever you go in the future, you're here to make money, not to sell your life!" the leader was furious, and there was some hatred in his eyes.
After hearing this reprimand, his subordinates hung their heads silently, feeling that they were indeed in a hurry for quick success.
The scorching sun shone directly into the courtyard, roasting them all over, and the sweat could not stop dripping, and after a while, they were soaked all over.
After being silent for a long time, I probably couldn't stand the scorching sun, and finally someone came out.
"That'...... What to do?"
The leader sat in the shade, shook the flask, and raised his eyelids slightly: "I can only wait for that guy Senna to come back, and I don't know where he went, and he hasn't seen anyone for several days." ”
"Hey, Senna can do this alone!"
As the family's ace mercenary, Senna has a high prestige in the hearts of the miscellaneous soldiers, and is regarded as an unsurpassed legend, just like Brad.
......
Shore.
The arrival of the knightly legion set off a wave of enthusiasm among the soldiers and laborers, who automatically made way for them.
"Wow, even you're here!" the dock guard greeted him with a smile and gave a knightly salute.
The heroic knightly officer turned over and dismounted, took out the weapon fixed in the saddle and put it on, straightened his collar, and stared at the endless sea.
"It won't be long before the enemy forces will attack Constanta, and we will defend this place to the death, so today I will bring my men down to familiarize ourselves with the terrain. After a pause, he raised an eyebrow, and continued, "I heard that you have found another batch of guns, and the number is not small?"
"That's right, there are more than two hundred guns, and it is worth mentioning that there is also a huge warship, I thought it was a merchant ship, until the arrival of naval reinforcements today, I knew that it was the top Italian warship, and I couldn't find a few in the entire Mediterranean, and the performance was not inferior to the naval flagship of the West Asian barbarians. ”
"Very well, so that our naval and shore artillery defenses are stronger. The knightly officer nodded with satisfaction and smiled knowingly: "Where is the master of this fleet? ”
Hearing this, the garrison frowned: "Still waiting, he hasn't appeared until now, if he doesn't see anyone before dark, he can only forcibly requisition this batch of artillery and battleships." ”
"Okay, I agree, I'll bear the consequences. ”
The forcible expropriation of merchants' property is an act of robbery, and if the news spreads, the number of merchants who come to Constanta to do business will surely plummet, which will cause great losses to the economy of Constanta and the whole of Romania, and the consequences will of course not be underestimated.
But as the most prestigious man in Constanta, in order to protect his hometown where he has lived for thirty years, the knight officer can't care so much.
After a moment of silence, the garrison officer patted him on the shoulder and said resolutely: "We will bear the consequences together." ”
Stunned, he smiled and raised his hand, clasping it with the garrison.
"Defend the homeland. ”
"Defend the homeland!"
Before he could wait for the feelings that had been brewed to stay for a while, there was a sparse applause behind him, which sounded like mockery carelessly.
The two of them turned around and looked at each other, and saw a few people who had just gotten out of the carriage.
The garrison officer recognized Zheng Fei at a glance, and after a short pause, he shouted happily: "You are finally here!"
"Who is he?" the knightly officer tilted his head.
"Master of the fleet!" said the garrison, hurrying up to meet him. (To be continued.) )
