Chapter 280: Scarlet Knights!
"How many teams are back today?"
"I heard that there were four teams out, and only two teams came back. ”
"How many people are there?"
"I heard that there are already two hundred people in total. ”
The two armed immigrants were building the wooden fence of a camp, working and talking, and their words revealed a meaning, that is, there were four exploration teams sent to the jungle, only two returned, and the two men exchanged words with each other and looked at a large house behind them, with a hint of fear in their eyes, where there was the sound of smashing things and the roar of individuals.
"Waste, it's all a bunch of waste, you are in vain as imperial soldiers, the country and the people have given you such good equipment and help, you can't even find the location of those beastmen and retreat, if it is still the old empire period, you will all be burned at the stake by me!!"
Wang Zifeng's face turned red and looked at the people who knelt down in front of him, on the ground was a delicate glass oil lamp that was broken, all the kneeling on the ground were soldiers, there were guards and garrisons, they were holding their helmets at this time, burying their heads deeply, they were the ones who came back alive after going out to explore the beastman camp today, but in the face of Wang Zifeng, who assigned them tasks, they didn't have the courage to look up at all.
"My lord, it's not that we don't work hard, it's just that those beastmen are too cunning, they don't fight us at all, they always harass us from afar or from the trees with bows and arrows from afar, our equipment is inconvenient in the woodland, and we can't catch up, so we can only be beaten passively!"
A Templar of the Sect Guard Army raised his head and explained angrily, but Wang Zifeng directly interrupted him with a pale face: "Excuses, they are all excuses, imperial soldiers don't need such weak excuses, get out of here, get out!"
Wang Zifeng blasted these soldiers out of a very freak of frustration, they just lowered their heads and didn't dare to retreat without any movement, out of the tent, they raised their heads, their foreheads were covered with dense beads of sweat, they were actually very helpless, what can they do, in the woodland, there are those beastmen everywhere, their numbers are huge, almost everywhere, and they move flexibly in the woodland, and they don't fight with them at all, they are all slightly seduced, and then introduce the human beings into a deeper range to attack in groups, with the help of dense trees, they hide themselves extremely safely, so that these heavily armed human soldiers, it is impossible to organize any powerful counterattack at all, and it can only be painfully retreated in the endless rain of arrows, or the whole army is annihilated.
Wang Zifeng also tried to ignore the beastmen, and slowly cut down trees directly from the periphery, but people were always killed by those cold arrows shot out coldly, in this case, it was impossible for the workers to cut down trees, and they also refused to work in such a situation, Wang Zifeng simply thought that these beastmen were not willing to face off with humans, so Wang Zifeng always wanted to find the combined camp of the beastmen and wood spirits, and then send his army to annihilate them in one fell swoop, Wang Zifeng still thinks that war is a hammer deal, but as everyone knows, it is now a battle mode of authority, and this mode has a name on the earth in the future:
"Law and order war!"
The so-called law and order warfare is actually a kind of guerrilla warfare with an alternative mentality, but this kind of war takes place in the city and the movable area is small, but this still makes the enemy feel a headache and feel completely unable to start.
After reading Wang Zifeng's detailed report, Lelouch already remembered the flashing memory of the rapid rout of the beastmen and the wood spirits, when the US army fought Iraq, how similar it was, they all ended the battle very quickly and decisively, defeated the enemy's main army in the first battle, and then quickly occupied the enemy's border, and then just when everyone felt that the war was over, a war mode that made the US army extremely painful and mired in the mud of war appeared, that is, law and order warfare.
The continuous attacks will never make you find a way to find a trace, and will always make you tired, and now, Wang Zifeng is facing a kind of security war that is extremely similar to this, but the location of the battle has changed from the city to the vast forest.
Lelouch sighed slightly in the palace of Ogulis and stood up, he looked at the huge and detailed map of the Fog Gray Province on the side, his eyes flashed with unknown colors, he thought for a while, and said to the attendants on the side: "Proposed order, let Wang Zifeng's front stop any expansion, strengthen the border guard, and first strengthen to control the construction and development of the area... The affairs of the beastmen are left to another unit. ”
After Lelouch finished speaking, he looked at the other attendant: "Go, call Xiao Tian over, the Knights of Judgment have been training for so long, it's time to move!"
...
The Imperial Knights of Judgment, originating from the heyday of the church, all the members are the most fanatical fanatics, fanatical to the point of even some perverts, each of them has received enough crazy training to make them die, as well as the assistance of drugs and even magic, these assistants in the establishment of the Academy of Magic, even used some magic that is no less than the pain suppression of the Mordor Guard, under these crazy methods, their faith has been strengthened most strongly, they hate all non-believers, fanatically worship anything Lelouch, even if it is just a leaf that Lelouch touches, they also worship the supreme holy relic。
Such a knight order was specially prepared by Lelouch to deal with those monsters, but now, it is also good to use it to deal with those beastmen who like to fight guerrillas.
Wang Zifeng stood on the train station of Fog Gray Province waiting for a train, behind him, there were a large number of elite Templars, these Templars have always been above the top, but now they are all sweating a little on their foreheads, they are all waiting for those who were once extremely frightening in the church, and now this horror, with the full support of the Son of God, has been established again, and it is even stronger, the only thing they have not improved is their fanatical to perverted faith, and the reason why they have not been promoted is only because their fanatical belief is already the top level。
The Knights Templar are naturally nervous about this group of perverts who have not appeared since they were re-established, they have been suppressed by these terrible perverts for a long time, and now they are about to see the former 'Big Brother' again, of course, there are inevitable gaffes.
Wang Zifeng is very curious about these trial knights, although he knows these trial knights very well, but those trial knights are all trial knights who used to be in the church, not the current imperial judgment knights, Wang Zifeng once chatted about the empire's most powerful army in the high-level meeting of Lelouxiu, if the holy guard is overwhelmed by all the combat forces, then the only one who can wrestle with the holy guard is this trial knights, and unlike the holy guard, the combat effectiveness of the trial knights is not only reflected in frontal combat, but also in flexible individual battles and the ability to survive in complex environments, which is also extremely goodAfter all, their enemies are either monsters or evil wizards or mages, and long-term survival in the wild is a must for them.
Wang Zifeng has been waiting for half a morning, which makes Wang Zifeng slightly annoyed, and I don't know if it is because of the helpless tactics of the beast man that Wang Zifeng is very headache and crazy, Wang Zifeng's recent mentality is very bad, and even the others seem to be very impatient, fortunately, the train taken by the Knights of Judgment did not make Wang Zifeng wait too long, they appeared outside the train station defensively, with a burst of whimpering and whistling, the steam train rumbled into the train station.
After waiting for it to stop, the door opened, and all the Templars gasped slightly, because a cold breath came to their faces, and under the cover of the water vapor emitted by the train, a red procession appeared, and the cold came from this team.
"Imperial Judgment Knights, get off!"
A red-armored figure with a strong shield on his back and a sword at his waist jumped out of the car, and then gave a loud order, and with his command, the red figure walked out of the carriage, and then became more and more obvious in the white water vapor, and finally completely stepped out of the cover, completely exposing himself to the sun:
Scarlet armor, with a silver-white ornate cross on the forehead of their helmet, their armor looked extremely heavy, and behind it was an equally scarlet cloak, it is worth noting that they did not have any riding spears, they all carried shields and swords on their backs, and they did not mind using the muskets that the knights hated in the slightest, they carried two muskets across their waists, one on their backs, and on their left backs a package full of fire oil bullets.
And Wang Zifeng can feel that everything on their bodies has magic fluctuations, whether it is weapons or armor, and even they themselves have the aura of magic fluctuations, of course they can't all be mages, so it means that the human body under which armor must be full of dirty magic circles carved by the evil necromancer, because only necromancers have the ability to do this on the human body, just like they do on the corpse, maybe that's why these judgment knights can wear such heavy armor and be able to move flexibly, but the heavy breath of death on their bodies is just the heavy breath of death on their bodies, really made Wang Zifeng, a mage who was barely an orthodox mage, a little disgusting!
"Welcome, knights of the Empire!"
Wang Zifeng still greeted him with a smile, and behind him stood the Templars who were gorgeously dressed like light guards, and opposite him was Xiao Tian, who was standing in front of the Judgment Knights, and behind him was stained with the Judgment Knights, and their aura was like messengers from hell.
"Where is the enemy?"
Facing the enthusiastic Wang Zifeng, Xiao Tian just replied very coldly, but Wang Zifeng kept a natural smile without changing his face: "The Knights of Judgment is worthy of being the only powerful existence in the empire that can wrestle with the Holy Guard, and it is efficient to do things." ”
"Hmph, if those holy guards hadn't stayed by the side of the Divine Son all the time and enjoyed his favor and never fought with outsiders, they would have become our defeated men a long time ago!"
Xiao Tian's attitude was very arrogant, but Wang Zifeng smiled and didn't speak, just as the garrison looked at the Guardian Guards unpleasantly, the Knights of Judgment also looked at the Holy Guard Knights in front of him unpleasantly, and to be honest, Xiao Tian had extremely strong confidence in the brand-new Imperial Judgment Knights behind him, driven by fanatical beliefs, they endured pain that outsiders couldn't believe, and then converted this pain into their most powerful strength, coupled with the most advanced weapons and equipment in the Empire, Xiao Tian really didn't think that the group of people selected from the top crowd of the garrison and the Sect Guard would be the opponent of these fanatical believers behind him。
Wang Zifeng didn't dwell too much, these trial knights are not normal people, so they can't communicate with them in a normal way, this group of perverts will give them whatever they want, since Xiao Tian wants enemies, then give them enemies.
"The enemy is in the forest on the front line, and in there, almost all of them are beastmen and wood spirits!"
"Understood, all living creatures in the dense forest are subject to purification sanctions!"
Wang Zifeng: "...!"
It doesn't matter, anyway, the other living creatures in the forest don't care about his prince Feng's affairs, and their dead and alive prince Feng doesn't need to care about it at all.
Xiao Tian, who got the answer he wanted, turned around and walked directly towards the outside of the train station, behind him were a thousand trial knights, although they were small in number, but their individual combat power was outstanding, they were not afraid of the beastmen and wood spirits in the forest, they didn't even want any guides, Xiao Tian stretched out his right hand, stretched out his palm in mid-air and closed his eyes, just after a while, he walked directly in the direction where the beastmen made the most trouble.
Wang Zifeng could feel that at that moment, Xiao Tian used the wind system navigation magic burned on the palm of his hand, this practice of burning magic in the form of a magic circle on a certain item is not uncommon, in fact, this is also the main way for the current mage to strengthen his combat effectiveness, but it is a bit appalling to use such a configuration in the armor produced by such an assembly line.
And there is no need to think about it, there must also be carvings or tattoos connected to this circle on the palms of their flesh and hands.
The appearance of the Knights of Judgment in the Fog Gray Province did not cause any reaction, and there were even many people who did not know about their existence, not to mention the beastmen, so when these red-armored walking knights appeared on the outskirts of the forest, not only countless humans were pointing at them, but even the beastmen and wood spirits of the forest Hou Aimin were looking at each other in great confusion.
It's just that in the common curiosity of both sides, there is also a common look, that is, fear, just seeing them, the fear that arises from the bottom of the heart.
