Chapter 353: Raising the butcher's knife

After receiving the weakened version of the tear gas potion from Clark, Reich quickly left with his team, and the number of people following him increased from 200 to 1,000 - in addition to the original 200 Tianqin Patrol Guards, the new 800 city defense army was added. For these 800 city defense troops, Reich handed them all over to Caesar to command, and Reich originally claimed to promote the other party to the commander of the 8,000-man team of the Black Wind Knights, but it was not just talk.

Many people were shocked by Leitch's order, including Caesar himself, who had more or less heard that Caesar, who was originally only the captain of the first district of the city defense army, had won the appreciation of the viscount for the first time, and was promoted to the commander of a thousand horsemen, which is not an exaggeration to say that it was a step to the sky! But at that time, most people just listened to it as a joke, because it was really not very credible to them, but now it seems that it did not expect it to be true! At this point, many people were envious and jealous of Caesar's fate, and at the same time, their eyes were full of fire when they looked at Leitch - if even Caesar's boy could be appreciated by the Viscount, why couldn't they?

As for Caesar himself, after the initial astonishment, he quickly regained his usual calmness, or rather indifference. After taking over Leitch's appointment, Caesar did not make any adjustments to the 800 temporary city defense troops, but only repeated his new identity in front of everyone, and had a brief exchange with the squadron leaders, except that in the end Caesar selected 10 people from the 800 people to be his personal guard, everything seemed to return to the beginning.

For Caesar's 'inaction', Leitch secretly admired it very much - although he had his own appointment, Caesar couldn't get away with the fact that he was only a second-order demon exterminator, and he himself was just a squad leader, and he was far from having any prestige in these city defense forces, so it was impossible for the other party to forcibly subdue these city defense troops in a short period of time, and the best way at this time was to do nothing-because everything had his own viscount in the upper town, and these people couldn't make any moths!

As for the other party's behavior of selecting personal guards, it is not difficult to understand - Caesar is only a second-order demon slayer, which is destined to make him impossible to become a fierce general who leads his subordinates to charge in the front line like other thousand cavalry commanders in a short period of time, and even his own safety will become a fatal flaw in the disintegration of the entire army! And Caesar has undoubtedly realized this very well, and has come up with a 'turtle shell' solution.

Lei Qi has no objection to this, he has no shortage of fierce generals who can charge into battle, like a strong man of the fourth or fifth order, as long as he is willing, he can recruit a lot of them at will! But most of these people can only become a thug, which is the so-called 'a thousand troops are easy to get, and one general is hard to find'!

The crypt where the Crypt People lurked was under this chaotic rocky beach, so Richie and his party didn't have to go far to reach the first entrance to the Crypt, and according to the information Richie received, this was one of the most active caves for Cryptmen!

In front of the entrance of the cave, each of the 800 city defenders had a brand new weapon in their hands - a brand-new cross crossbow! Although these city guards had never used a cross crossbow before, and had never even seen it before, it might as well be their great interest in the cross crossbow - the battle of Eagle's Nest Mountain had already made them appreciate the power of this weapon! So many of them had long coveted the two legendary weapons of the Crossbow and the Alec Repeater! What they didn't expect was that each of them would now have such a crossbow! Even if it was only temporary, it was enough to make them proud and excited!

For the city guards who were in a commotion because of the crossbow, Reich did not say anything to stop it, he just stood silently like a green pine, until three minutes later, these city guards gradually realized their gaffe and gradually quieted down, Reich said: "Now what each of you has in your hands is a cross crossbow. You may be extremely curious about this weapon, but in fact the use of this weapon is not complicated, and someone will demonstrate it for you three times in the future, and I believe that with your comprehension as an awakened person, there should be no IQ problem. ”

"Hah-"

Leitch's joking tone made many people burst into laughter - many of these city defense troops were real ruffians, and what they lacked the most was the qualified qualities of troublemaking and heckling that a soldier should have.

Ricky raised his hand to suppress the laughter of these men, and continued, "Perhaps many of you will wonder why I gave you a crossbow because I need you on an important mission!"

In the face of Leitch's tone that suddenly became serious, many people secretly became awe-inspiring, these people obviously realized that the task they had to face next would be quite difficult, but Leitch's words next ended up shocking most of them!

"After encountering the crazy onslaught of those necromantic creatures before, I believe that many of you have realized that there has been a huge change in the chaotic rocky beach, and this change is undoubtedly caused by those strange black fogs in the depths of this rocky beach!" Leitch glanced around at everyone majestically, and finally said in a deep voice, "Now what I want to tell you is that you are right, and the real situation is definitely a thousand times more serious than your guess!"

"Now that the entire territory is at the threshold of life and death, the millions of creatures in the 100,000 square Star Mist Valley behind you are facing a huge threat, and if you are not careful, the entire Star Mist Valley may turn into a ruin!"

Leitch's 'alarmism' suddenly caused the city defenders to fall into a deep dead silence from their state of excitement, and their faces showed all kinds of expressions of horror, surprise, and fear, and they were obviously frightened.

At this time, Leitch spoke again, and Leitch's steady and majestic voice fell on the ears of many city defense soldiers, like a glimmer of dawn at the end of the silent night, which immediately attracted the attention of all of them: "But this crisis is not unsolvable, in fact, we are quite sure that we can solve it! And the most crucial part of this is you!"

Noticing a lot of sudden bright eyes, Leitch smiled: "Yes, you will probably become great heroes who will save the entire territory, and many of you will even become legends recited by countless troubadours - as long as you can successfully complete the task I will give you next!

"Putting these distancing aside, if your mission fails, all your blood relatives and friends will become the same necromancers you saw earlier!"

"My lord, just say what you want us to do next, as long as I can, I will never refuse!" A middle-aged strong man in the crowd suddenly said loudly, and this undoubtedly greatly boosted the atmosphere, and a group of city defense troops enthusiastically expressed their willingness to 'ask for war'. Of course, there are also many people who are silent, and they still have a cowering expression on their faces.

Luck stared at everyone and said slowly, "What I want you to do next is very simple - any creature that comes out of the pass you are guarding will be killed with the crossbow in your hand!"

Leqi's almost icy words 'no forgiveness' fell into the ears of the city defense army, and countless people looked at Leqi's young and handsome face with pale faces, but now it became the most hideous and terrifying demonic face, even more than the demon!

Leitch looked at the city defense army with a blank expression. Said coldly: "Maybe you find it difficult to understand this order I have given, but I don't need you to understand, what you have to do is to carry out the order I gave 100%!"

"Remember, I am not discussing with you, this is my supreme order from the lord of the land! ”

Another 'no mercy' suddenly brought to the senses of the city defenders, who had been thrown into a great confusion of thought due to a violent moral conflict, and quickly calmed down many of them—apparently more concerned about their own lives than the innocent lives that might emerge from the caves.

But there are also a small number of city defense soldiers whose facial expressions are still in a state of collapse, they are trembling all over, trembling and looking at Leqi with a trembling expression, their mouths are closed but they can't spit out a word, as if they have lost their ability to speak in an instant!

"No, I can't do that!"

Eventually, a young city defender threw the crossbow in his hand to the ground in a trance, and then ran behind him with his head in his hands like a madman. And the 'rising' of this city defense army quickly touched some people, and several city defense soldiers also dropped the crossbow in their hands and ran in the direction of leaving the chaotic rocky beach.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

"Ahh

Soon, however, the deserters were pierced through their throats with such precision as several ice-picking ice picks burst out, and with a terrible scream, they finally fell to the ground as cold corpses.

Now Leqi's right hand was still cold, and he said lightly: "These people are all soldiers, and they did not die heroically on the battlefield, but fell under the hands of my lord, I have to say that this is a kind of sadness." But standing at this threshold of fate, we have no time to grieve - either go forward or die! Since fate has turned us into demons, let us raise the butcher knife in our hands!"
