Chapter 507: The General's Death

Ten minutes ago. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sean and a few companions quietly walked along the dark corners of the edge of the battlefield, the darkness and the thick smoke that drifted everywhere provided them with some cover, and occasionally saw a few soldiers fighting on the edge of the battlefield, which were also solved by them in a swarmed manner.

Sean felt a little puzzled, because in his opinion, the two sides of the battle were the troops of the Holy See, and they were all dressed in white helmets and white armor: "Cody, how did they distinguish between the enemy and me, just by virtue of the insignia on the breastplate?" ”

Sean also had an insignia on his breastplate, a long sword that burned with flames, belonging to the infantry regiment in the Order of the Holy See Defenders.

But at such a time when visibility is not very high, it would be too unreliable to distinguish friend from foe by such an inconspicuous insignia on the cuirass.

In this case, isn't myopia a natural disadvantage? Even if you are not short-sighted, it is not so easy to see the emblem on the opposite chest clearly.

The young man next to Sean, that is, Cody, smiled when he heard this, and pointed to the red tassel on his helmet: "See this?" This shows that we are on the side of Bishop Gavin. ”

"I see." Sean suddenly realized that the few people they had just killed did not have this red tassel on their helmets without exception.

A few people trotted along the edge of the battlefield for a while, and suddenly Cody, who was running in front, stretched out his hand to stop him, and the group stopped in unison.

In front of them, a large sword was flying high in the smoke of gunpowder, accompanied by the melodious sound of the horn slowly entering the battlefield.

The embroidered pattern on the datsu is also a long sword burning in the flames, which is the same as the pattern on Sean's breastplate.

Cody turned his head and said to all his companions, including Sean, with a serious face: "Everyone has seen it, that big picture is the location of General Garfield, the supreme commander of the infantry regiment, and our mission this time is to disguise themselves as ordinary soldiers to approach and assassinate General Garfield!" ”

Sean took a deep breath, and then he understood why he was wearing this light armor, and a wave of blood suddenly surged into his heart.

Although he has refused the solicitation of the officers many times, working back and forth in the training ground every day and being able to witness the life of the soldiers training every day has long engraved the yearning for military life in Sean's heart.

If it weren't for the bitter hatred for Pope Enhil buried deep in his heart, I'm afraid that Sean would have become a member of the army a long time ago, and he would have already fought hard in the cruel Shura field in front of him, but he could make men make achievements!

The big husband should fight on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud!

It's not too late. That's right, it's not too late. Sean silently told himself in his heart that his right hand had unconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Cody looked at it for a moment, and his face showed joy: "Daxu is heading towards us!" ”

"You, you, and you," Cody said, nodding to a few of his longbow-wielding companions, "and you will find a place with me to ambush him, and once you find General Garfield's traces, let me call the shots!" ”

Cody then turned his gaze to Sean: "Sean, you and a few other brethren have lurked at General Garfield's side, and if the first wave of our archers is unsuccessful, the rest will be up to you!" ”

Sean nodded heavily, and just wanted to lift his feet forward, but was stopped by Cody.

Cody ripped off the red tassel from Sean's helmet and covered him with blood and dirt from the ground, then smiled with satisfaction: "Go ahead, brother." ”

The fraternity members parted ways.

Sean and several of his brothers cautiously walked through the smoke of gunfire, and several times almost tripped over the sudden appearance of corpses on the ground.

A roar suddenly rang in Sean's ears, and then a bright sword light slashed out from the smoke beside Sean, pointing directly at Sean's neck.

Fortunately, Sean has always maintained extreme vigilance, and a tumbling narrowly avoided the knife.

Even so, the cold blade still grazed the skin of his neck, giving him goosebumps.

Several members of the Brotherhood behind Sean immediately came to their senses and rushed forward with their blades in hand, encircling the sneak attacker in the middle.

The sneak attacker, who had been fighting for a long time, was no match for Sean and the others at all, and was stabbed in the thigh in a few strokes and fell to the ground.

One of the Brotherhood members smirked and was about to swing a knife to cut off the attacker's head, but was stopped by Sean.

"What are you doing, Sean!" The fraternity member was apparently very dissatisfied.

Sean snorted at the other party: "Look at his helmet." ”

A wisp of red tassels fluttered above the sneak attacker's helmet, apparently a knight from the Knights of the Wings of Light, who had lost his horse in a previous battle.

With a common enemy, the Dark Brotherhood and the Knights of Light are clearly allies on the same side tonight.

At this moment, a questioning voice suddenly sounded not far behind Sean: "What's going on here, soldier?" ”

Embroidered with the Holy Flame Sword, a large silk slowly emerged from the smoke.

Without hesitation, Sean raised the long sword in his hand, cut off the head of the Knight of Light Wings in front of him, and then held it high in his hand: "Just discovered an enemy, respected General Garfield!" ”

The figure of a general appeared in front of Sean and the others from the thick fog, and at least two hundred heavily armed hoplites were beside him.

As a military handyman, Sean certainly wouldn't mistake the identity of General Garfield.

General Garfield glanced at Sean and the others, and with the pattern on the breastplate, the general recognized the identities of Sean and the others, and nodded very seriously: "Keep up with the queue, soldier." ”

Sean and the others smoothly blended into the team next to General Garfield.

The team continued to advance through the smoke of gunfire, corpses everywhere on the ground, and the sporadic enemies encountered were barely worth mentioning compared to the number of corpses, and in just a few minutes, Sean saw no less than a thousand corpses.

It is clear that both forces suffered extremely heavy losses in this battle.

A group of dozens of cavalrymen suddenly came out of the smoke of gunpowder, brandished the saber in their hands and rushed towards Daxu, the red tassels on the helmets were extremely conspicuous.

"Enemy attack!" The heavy infantry in the first row immediately stuck their diamond-shaped shields firmly on the ground, while the heavy infantry in the second row immediately followed, piercing spears at least two meters long through the gaps in the round shields, forming a classic horse-repellent pile formation.

Sean, who was standing in the back, took a deep breath, only to feel his temples throb, instinctively worried about the Knights of Lightwings.

If the knights choose to attack head-on, they won't even be able to hit the shield array, and they will be pierced by spears and men and horses!

Fortunately, the Knights of the Wings of Light are worthy of being the elite force among the tens of thousands of troops of the Holy See, and a sharp whistle suddenly sounded from among the knights, and then dozens of knights suddenly reversed the direction, drew a large arc circle along the shield array, and circled the flank of Daxu at a very fast speed, and then launched an attack again.

This is the disadvantage of the heavy infantry in the face of cavalry, due to the limited number of people and the time it takes to change the direction of the formation, so before the entire shield array has time to react, the knights of the wings of light have already rushed into the heavy infantry from the flanks with men and horses, and the bright swords are waved in the air, setting off a bloody rain.

"The commander is there, kill him!" A high-pitched roar rang out from among the Knights of the Wings of Light, and dozens of knights marched forward, all with one goal, and that was General Garfield, who was riding and armor under the Great Banner!

"Protect the General!" The heavy infantry under Daxu also let out a roar of anger not to be outdone, blocking the front of the cavalry.

Sean and a few companions followed the crowd and quietly approached Daxu.

Although they initially scattered the formation of the infantry with their powerful impact, the speed of the Knights of Light was quickly blocked by the heavy infantry's life-threatening resistance and the protection provided by the thick armor on their bodies, and they fell into a melee on the spot.

Shields stood up in front of the knights again, and bright spears kept piercing out from behind the shields, stabbing a knight with wings of light to the ground.

At this moment, several cold arrows suddenly flew out from a corner and shot straight at General Garfield.

"It's Cody, they're shot!" Sean's heart was bright, he did not follow the crowd and rushed to the knights, but struggled to approach Daxu in the crowd.

Cody's attempt failed, and their arrows, though accurate, were blocked by several of General Garfield's valiant guards.

Even so, these arrows managed to plunge Da Xu's side into chaos.

With the help of this chaos, Sean finally succeeded in coming to the side of Da Xu, and General Garfield, who was on horseback, was in front of Sean, close enough to reach.

Without the slightest hesitation, Sean raised the sword in his hand.

"All those loyal to Pope Enhill must die!"

Sean leaped up like a cheetah that had been lurking for a long time, and the long sword in his hand slashed a snowy light in the night sky, flashing through General Garfield's waist, and the general who was staring at the Knight of Lightwings in front of him, and was unprepared for the surprise attack from behind.

Cut it in two!
