Chapter 173: Lady Sigh (98)
Lord Rogel left only two magicians, a hundred lightly armed soldiers with their armor removed, fifty crossbowmen or archers, and thirty heavily armored cavalry.
All the soldiers of the Denoma Empire who remained on that hill knew that this time could be a mortal mission for them. Whether it is the crossbowmen and archers of the civilian class, or the heavy armored soldiers in the middle level, or the heavy armored knights and magicians in the aristocratic class, they all know very well that they may not be able to come back this time.
Especially those two magicians and the heavily armored knights, it is natural that there is no need to say how important a magician is to a country. Especially a good magician, some medium-sized countries are even willing to give an army in exchange for a good magician. And the two magicians who stayed behind were all at the level of true magicians. While other countries don't trade an army, they don't find out where they go.
And I was really surprised that those heavily armored knights, who were born nobles, were able to make such a choice in the end. In particular, when Lord Roger explained this mission to them, among all the heavily armored knights present, fully half of the heavily armored knights chose to follow Lord Roger to stay on this mortal mission. The heaviest was carefully selected by Lord Rogel to leave behind the thirty heavily armored cavalry that are now left.
Here, I can't help but regret that I had been ignoring these excellent human commanders before. If I had discovered that there were so many good commanders in the human race earlier, it would have allowed them to play their part to the fullest, rather than acting passively on the next step of my orders. Before Lord Lohr, how many good commanders were unwilling to die because of my neglect? I don't know, and I dare not imagine. I'm sorry, these good commanders.
"Fellow citizens of the Denoma Empire, thousands of apostolic armies are already getting closer and closer to us. Remember, a few minutes ago, Lord Lorge had said to the soldiers of the Denomah Empire: "Although we have just succeeded in annihilating this cavalry army from the Apostles, they are only a small part of our enemies. But the terrain here is no longer suitable for us to defend. So, we need to move the battlefield there! But we have to select a group of warriors, and I will lead the team to attract them into the ambush circle that we have prepared for them! It is possible that we will all die here, but more likely, it is more likely to successfully attract those apostles and lead them to our preset ambush circle! And all we need to do is a group of warriors!"
So, the crossbowmen stayed, the infantry stayed, the heavily armored knights stayed, and what surprised me even more was that these noble, extremely scarce magicians, also stayed.
In response to our surprised looks, one of the mages said, "We stayed because we are both mages who have mastered the wind element, and with the help of the two of us, we can quickly leave the battlefield and save the soldiers' stamina." You have to thank you for being the ones who really do for us. ”
Yes, those knights are also worthy of our admiration. In order to allow the infantry and archers trapped on the hill to move faster towards the area where we were ambushed, these dozens of heavily armored knights provided all their war horses. And the others who were not selected also provided their own war horses free of charge. It is impossible to say that they are not distressed by this, but they still provide their alternate horses, just so that more of their colleagues can ride on the war horses and move quickly. Because everyone knows that once you don't have a good sense of proportion and are surrounded by the apostles' army, then the rest of the result is death. And because of the war horses provided by these heavily armored knights, all the Dnomah Imperial warriors who stayed there had a war horse. In addition, in order to make it easier for them to evacuate, the magicians also magically created a gentle slope in the direction of the hill facing us. And the location is very secretive, as long as they are not completely surrounded, then this dirt slope will not be put down by those apostolic armies. In this way, the soldiers who remained on the hillside could be evacuated quickly.
"Ma'am, do you think they will be able to come back?" Shen Lin, who was hiding behind a nearby tree, woke me up from my memories. "Why would they choose to stay there?"
"That's because Lord Roger knows that only by holding out there for a while longer will he be able to attract more of the main forces of the Apostles to attack them. I said lightly, "In that case, if we can successfully attract a sufficient number of apostolic troops, we can transfer them to us with us, and when the time comes, we will have a good chance of winning a great victory! Even if there is no great victory, it will be enough for us to hold them off until Lord Scar comes to our rescue, so they are extremely important to us in any way." ”
Shen Lin nodded, and then suddenly came out with a sentence that she didn't expect at all: "Then, ma'am, can I help them?"
I was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "Shen Lin, do you know what you're talking about?"
"I said, can I go there and help them?"
I wanted to see Shen Lin's expression at this time, but because Shen Lin was hiding behind a big tree at this time, I could only do nothing. "You... "I thought about it for a long time, but I still don't know what to say, do I want to tell her directly that it is very dangerous there? Or is it very likely that she won't be able to come back if she goes? I definitely can't say this sentence, you must know that it is not just me, the Tiger King and Shen Lin here, and the soldiers who ambushed these hundreds of Denoma Empire, if I say such a thing, what kind of impact will it have on their hearts? This is actually very clear without thinking.
Eventually, I asked, "You, can you keep yourself safe?"
"Don't worry. Shen Lin laughed: "Of course I can protect my own safety." And to be able to bring back as many people as possible. Don't forget, I'm very powerful. ”
Shen Lin: What's wrong with this? Why did she choose to do this? I don't know. Is it because of her that she is powerful? Ah, I really don't understand. "Well, you have to be careful, and be sure to come back as soon as you complete the mission! ”
At this time, Shen Lin revealed his figure from under the tree where he was hiding. It seemed that she was smiling happily, and her mood was not affected by the tension of the current situation. I suddenly had an epiphany, this, isn't this a formal attitude to life? I never told Shen Lin that I want her to become a commanding talent, so why should I be disappointed in Shen Lin because of this? In fact, Shen Lin is doing well enough now, before, she didn't know anything, except for being a little older, except that she came to the current world from prehistoric times to make her identity a little special, she was just a little girl. If it weren't for the fact that I turned her into an undead at the last moment of her life, I'm afraid she would have been dead for hundreds of thousands of years. Yes, isn't she very special in her own right, she is the first undead in history to be able to maintain her personality in all the years since the birth of the undead. Compared to the new generation of undead, she is the breakthrough of our undead clan!
"You, you have to be careful. "I don't know when, Shen Lin has actually walked out of the dense forest where the ambush is ambushed. In the distance, I just saw Shen Lin turn around and smile at us, and then bounce like a little girl towards the small hill not far away. This little girl, this little girl. People grow slowly, and so do the undead. It was indeed my own fault that I had such a prejudice against her. I won't worry about whether Shen Lin will be able to come back, because this is a matter of course, even if there are more enemies, so what.
Wait, wait. I seem to have forgotten one thing. That's the enemy! Why did we forget this, didn't the scouting rangers say that this time the enemy we faced was not the conventional apostle of the previous one, but there were some more special troops, but the tactics we customized were still set according to the conventional? Moreover, it only takes one middle-level apostle to come out, and the soldiers guarding the hill are dangerous, not to mention that they have at least three, and there may be a high-level apostle!
"Tiger King, we made a mistake!"
The Tiger King immediately crawled out of a nearby snow field and asked, "Ma'am, do you mean they... ”
Seeing the Tiger King come out of such a hidden place, but I didn't have time to be surprised. It's time for us to seize every minute and every second. I immediately jumped off the tree, put myself on the back of the Tiger King, and said to him, "Yes, they are in danger! We must get there now, and before the apostolic army comes, we must do it immediately, as soon as possible! We forgot that those apostles had intermediate and senior apostles!"
The Tiger King paused suddenly, and I felt a cold sweat on his back, and then he stopped and said to me, "Ma'am, you must stay here." ”
"Why?"
"Because you have to stay here and let Gu and Shen Lin support them together. The Tiger King rolled over and threw me off my back, then turned to me and said, "Ma'am, don't you understand? If we are all on the hills, if we can't come back, who should command the defense here? You are the soul of this place, understand?"
I smiled, "You mean to let me choose to be a coward and watch you fight on the front line??"
The Tiger King didn't have the time to explain to me: "Ma'am, you're wrong. Since they are going to attract the apostolic armies to our Fuji Spring, we must be very fast. And your speed is definitely not as fast as ours, especially Lonely. Of course, if you're still stubborn, there's nothing to say. ”
In the end, I compromised. "Go quickly. ”
The Tiger King didn't say anything more, but quickly caught up with Shen Lin and carried Shen Lin on his back. Then Shen Lin didn't forget to look back at me: "Don't worry, ma'am, we promise to complete the task!"
Suddenly I realized that I was very useless, and I couldn't participate in such an important moment. I've tried, and the summon just now has summoned almost all the skeletons buried underground. If there are still any, our combat effectiveness will increase by a few points. I shook my head and went back to the jungle, which was really strange. Although it is in the south of the continent, but now that the whole world seems to be frozen, it is still possible to maintain such a large area of dense forest, isn't this the perfect place to prepare for this ambush for us?
But why do I feel that something is wrong now that I have made this arrangement? Is there a problem with our deployment? or something else. No, but I've always felt that something was wrong.
The Tiger King and Shen Lin hadn't reached the hill yet, which made me a little anxious. That's right, that's right! Here's the problem! The distance between our dense forest and the hill where Sir Rogel was was a bit far! Even at a normal marching pace, we couldn't reach it in a few minutes. And once the apostles were surrounded, they simply didn't have enough time to escape!
However, I finally figured out what was wrong with us, but it was already a little too late.
The apostolic army appeared, and I think Lord Rogel, stationed on the hill, should have seen it more clearly than I did. for it was the apostolic armies that came toward them. And the distance on our side is even farther. What could it be that was densely packed together instead of the apostolic army? and, even at such a distance, I could still see dozens of huge figures behind the apostolic army. And these figures were like nothing I had ever seen before. Could this be the new class of these apostles? The size of these new classes of apostles is too big, too big.
