Chapter 130: The Lady with a Light Sigh (84)

Scarlet Sir shook his head at me and said, "Ma'am, I actually wanted to give you this advice as soon as we set off. But I was afraid that you wouldn't adopt it, so I didn't say it all the time. ”

I looked at this middle-aged man with interest, he was a duke, and now he would say such a thing, I was just an outsider. Could it be that he wants me to be unable to step down?" Because we have so many warriors now, I seem to be a little careless. I'm sorry. But it is also because of this that I will make such a decision, I and the Tiger King will lead the forward troops to walk at the forefront of the army, and Shen Lin is in the middle of the formation. ”

"It was a great choice, ma'am. Sir Scar nodded, affirming, "Ma'am, you may not have any experience leading soldiers, but it is undeniable that you do have a sharp instinct and excellent talent. If it were someone else, it would not have been possible to find such a problem. ”

I looked a little embarrassed, after all, I only understood it after losing a certain number of soldiers under the reminder of the Tiger King. I looked at the Tiger King, but I found that he didn't have any mentality to compete for merit. "No, I actually found out about this problem later. I'm sorry that we have paid so many lives for this. ”

"Ma'am, you have nothing to be sorry for," said Sir Scar, who seemed a little indifferent, "This is war, and since it is war, there must be sacrifices." You still don't have to worry about that. And you already know how these little mongrels attack, so the safety of the rest of the soldiers is guaranteed. ”

I pursed my lips and felt a little sad in my heart. In order to come up with a way to defend against the attacks of these apostles, we paid with our lives. This is indeed a bit too bad. "By the way, sir, since the Tiger King and I are going to advance the troops, I will leave the matter of this formation to you! Because you were originally the Duke of the Denomah Empire, and you are also an excellent officer, the position of commander should be yours!"

Sir Scar was stunned for a moment, his eyes revealing suspicion of me, "Ma'am, what do you mean by that? Do you want to give me little shoes to wear?"

Oh, and sure enough, he still thinks too much. "How is that possible? Sir, I mean it. Compared to my advanced troops, the essence is the most important. And you are the most prestigious of all of us. And I'm just an undead. I'm not fit to be the commander of humanity at all. Besides, you're better suited to command an army than I am. Even in our world of the dead, I like to be alone. ”

Sir Scar stopped talking. I could see that he was responsible, but at the same time he seemed to be eager for what I said. "You, are you really going to do this?"

"Duke. I solemnly said, "Now we don't have time to talk about these useless things." Now, we don't know how many apostles are waiting for us in front of us, so from now on, you are the supreme commander of this array. As for whether you are willing to accept the commanders of all these forces in the future, wait until we have dealt with the problem at hand. ”

Sir Scar clenched his fists and nodded, "Understood, I won't let our country down." Thank you, ma'am. ”

This scene from the other day kept echoing in my mind. I couldn't help but think of the dead Auxiliary Minister of the Danmos Empire, my old friend, the stubborn old man, Reading. If the country he was loyal to was the Dnoma Empire, then his tragedy would never have happened.

"What are you doing?"

The voice of the Tiger King pulled me back to reality. It was then that I remembered that there was a sizable army of the Apostles just ahead of us. Although the Ranger has discovered that they are not pure-blooded Apostles, the threat of these Apostles should not be underestimated. "Miscellaneous Blood Apostles, a team of about three hundred people. It doesn't look like a combat unit, but more like a transport unit. ”

I'm not sure, after the attacks that took place a few days ago, I have a hard time believing that these apostles, who were ready to ambush us, would have laid down a barely combat-ready transport force in front of us. "Are you sure it's the transport troops?" I asked, staring at the Ranger who was reporting to me, "Can you tell what they're transporting?"

When I asked this question, I could see that the Ranger's face turned pale in an instant. After it took a full two minutes or so to calm down, the pale Ranger said, "They're transporting the corpses and limbs of our humans. ”

"What? What did you say? The apostles were actually transporting human corpses?" I immediately stood up, grabbed his clothes and asked, "Are you sure it's a human corpse?"

The Ranger seemed to be being pulled by the nest, and coughed a few times involuntarily. And I realized my situation and let go of him: "Soldier, I think you should know the seriousness of this matter. You can be wrong, but you can't lie. You understand?"

"Madam, I vouch for my identity as a soldier of the Denoma Empire, and I don't hesitate to be only a dozen meters away from them in order to see what those things are!" As if feeling offended, the hussar with a red face and a thick neck said loudly, "And ma'am, I just said the stump of a corpse, not a corpse." Because, the apostles basically didn't leave a single intact corpse! Some of the corpses had stumps that had apparently been decomposing for a long time!"

What, how is this possible? The apostles, who were actually transporting the stumps of corpses? When I saw the serious expression on the soldier's face, I knew that the brave hussar must not be lying. In an instant, I was filled with anger. It doesn't matter what they want these human limbs to be used for, but that alone is enough of a moral depravity. Didn't they, the apostles, have a little mercy?

"Sword and shield soldiers, a hundred people are out of the ranks!"

Suddenly, a hundred sword and shield soldiers of the Denoma Empire, wearing leather armor and holding round shield short knives, stood up and formed four columns.

"Crossbowmen, thirty men each!" Because the number of archers and crossbowmen is not too large, only these numbers are touched, but they are already almost half of the number.

A slight whistling sound sounded for a short period of ten seconds, and then, sixty long-range strike detachments of archers and crossbowmen were already standing behind the sword and shield men.

"Five magicians are on the line, two of them are blessed with magic, and the other three are going all out to kill the enemy!"

The five magicians nodded to me and began to bless all the sergeants who were going to participate in the operation with all kinds of beneficial magic. For example, sealing magic that strengthens defense, air magic that increases movement speed and long-range defense, and water magic that strengthens recovery. After all the one hundred and sixty soldiers involved in this operation had been blessed with magic, I continued: "Fifty heavily armored knights, out of line!"

In order not to startle the snakes, I asked the magicians to specially bless the horses of these heavily armored knights with wind magic for a long time. On the one hand, this can speed up the horses, and after blessing the wind magic, the horses can hardly feel the weight on their backs, and it is as if they are floating in mid-air, which is not easy for the enemy to detect. However, although they couldn't hear any sound, judging from these actually solemn momentum, they were a mighty army.

Yes, one hundred and sixty men plus fifty heavily armored knights, that's all the strength of my operation this time. Of course, me and the Tiger King are certainly essential. The other side is just a transport force, and there is almost no threat to us. Although we do not have heavy infantry, light infantry is enough to deal with them.

I flew up to the nearest tree, which was still sprouting and growing new leaves despite the cold and snow. What a strange thing to do. But now I and our soldiers simply don't have time to think about what the hell is going on. Well, those soldiers are four or five hundred meters away from me. They looked as if they were camping. Moreover, the scouting light cavalry was really right, and what the transport troops of these apostles were going to transport, as he said, were human stumps.

It was only later that I learned what these apostles were transporting these human stumps for. First of all, if the Apostles threw the corrupted limbs into the City of Armor, the garrisons of the City of Armor would be infected with the plague because of the stumps. In that case, even if you don't die, you will lose all your combat power. And what we intercepted was just such a transport force. And more of the stumps were used in a place that made me feel extremely terrible, that is, they were brought back to the apostles' world by the apostles, and were used as food to feed the dragons. However, now I don't know that these things are happening, and everything is an afterthought.

The first to kick off the attack were the five magicians. As soon as the longbow in my hand was set up with arrows, the five magicians smashed their best magic into the apostle transports. At that time, the arrows I shot had just left my longbow.

These apostolic transports, which had little combat power, were clearly stunned by our attack. Maybe they think this should be their apostle's territory, so there shouldn't be a human attack. Or perhaps because he had no contact with the other apostolic forces, he did not know about such a situation. And this point, I later found out that there was also a strict hierarchy among the apostles. Ordinary non-combat units are not qualified to share resources with combat units. So they hit the muzzle, and rightfully so.

After the first round of magic, the apostle transports had suffered about thirty or forty casualties. In other words, basically before the fight began, this conflict is over. Because it was followed by me and the long and short crossbows of the archers and crossbowmen.

The rain of arrows is sometimes even more terrifying than that of a magician. At least for ordinary humans, that's what happened. Although the magic looks glorious enough. But most of the magic can still be seen with the naked eye. But crossbow arrows are not like that. Most of the crossbow arrows looked like tiny dots, and when you got close to you, you realized that they were actually the Grim Reaper, and when dozens of crossbow arrows fell from the sky, the dense clouds seemed to be black. It's even more terrifying. And now those apostolic soldiers are facing such despair.

When the dense rain of arrows finally stopped, the apostolic transport force, which had not had much left, became even more scattered. Probably, there are only about a hundred. I looked back at the heavily armored cavalry unit behind me.

This is the first time I have commanded a human cavalry. I know that no matter what country it is, as long as it is in the human world, cavalry is just a special disease belonging to the aristocratic class. Except, of course, the hussars. Anyone who is a formal knight has a strong family background. I think these fifty heavily armored knights all have a strong family power behind them.

But even so, they are not gentlemen, but battle-hardened warriors. Through their thick armor, I saw a burning heart and a belief in victory. I couldn't see their expressions, but I could see the golden light of battle shining from their eyes. "You can go up. "I gestured to the cavalry, and they rushed like a flood towards the apostolic transport, which had begun to crumble. I jumped off the tree, and I didn't want to look at the results again. I waved my hand at the light infantry who hadn't played yet, and said, "I'm sorry, you can't make a big difference this time, or clean up the battlefield, I'll put you to good use next time." ”

It's so easy, it's so easy. Five minutes later, the battle was over. In the middle of the battle, I only shot an arrow, and the Tiger King didn't get a chance to shoot at all.

There was a scorched smell in the distance, and I knew it was the soldiers disposing of the stumps of their fellow citizens. Whatever these things are used for, at this point, they are finally going to be liberated.
