Chapter 283: Scheduling
"Report to the general, I am a sentry at the Mosa outpost, because the outpost was raided and lost by the Nigon army, our remaining dozen brothers broke out to come to Bogner City to report the news, but they were chased by the Nigon scouts again in the desert, and it was too late to reach the city." Shen Hao had his own words, and replied respectfully.
"Very well, soldier, because of your heroic battle this time, we have been able to contain the enemy's sneak attack troops, and you have made a great contribution to the defense of Bogner City this time. I, the Viscount of Waleskai, the commander of the Seventh Division of the Griffin Knights, will take credit for you. The Golden Helmet Knight looked Shen Hao up and down and nodded with great satisfaction. As a general who rose through the ranks of his exploits, Wilskai was fond of brave warriors, and it was an unforgivable waste for a soldier to fight thousands of harpies for nearly half an hour with the most rudimentary weapons.
"Thank you, General!" Shen Hao made a look of joy and saluted Welsky again and again. It's good to get merit, but if you only be a lowest-level cannon fodder soldier all the time, whether it's finding a lost companion or fighting a decisive battle with the Nightmare, it's a very disadvantageous thing. As long as you have a certain amount of power, it will be much easier to do anything.
"Tell me your name, valiant soldier." Wilskai smiled and flipped onto his mount again. He is the commander of the first army, and although the battle is now nearing its end, there is still a lot of work for him to deal with. If it weren't for Shen Hao's outstanding performance, he wouldn't have taken time out of his busy schedule to chat with a pikeman.
"My name is Shen Hao." Shen Hao stood up straight and looked at Wellskai without humility or arrogance.
"I'll remember the name, good job, boy!" Wells Kaihaha laughed, and as soon as he pulled the reins of the griffin, the majestic war beast immediately spread its wings, and the wind blew Shen Hao's tattered armor and hunting. The next moment, the snow-colored griffons turned into a cloud of white shadows and rushed into the night sky like lightning, merging into the warbands that were chasing after the defeated army of Nigon.
Such a thing as chasing down the defeated army naturally had nothing to do with Shen Hao, he sat down against the boulder, the previous high-intensity battle made him nervous, and it was also a very pleasant thing to be able to relax slightly at this moment. He casually pulled out a few poison-quenching curved blades from the corpses of several harpies, and played with them in his hands.
This curved blade is shaped like a crescent moon, but it is split on both sides. The blue light on the blade was shining, and the toxin on it Shen Hao had already tried it himself, although it was not the kind of poison that sealed the throat when it saw blood, but it was also a very difficult neurotoxin. Once in the bloodstream, it will spread rapidly throughout the body, first of all, it will have a strong paralyzing effect, causing the poisoned person to gradually lose their combat ability, so that with the continuous attacks of the Harpy, it can easily take the life of the enemy.
Even if the enemy is able to leave the battlefield in time, the toxin will deepen the damage over time, and if the detoxification is not done in time, it will eventually lead to heart paralysis and death.
Of course, Shen Hao would not be afraid of this level of toxin, even if it was a poison from the poison Venerable Shi Yuxuan, he could resist seven points with his extremely strong vitality, which was one of the reasons why many harpy banshees were unable to take him down for a long time.
The poison blade is only more than a foot long, and it can be regarded as a short sword in the hands of the harpy, but in Shen Hao's hands, it can be called some strange-shaped daggers at most. Short blades of this size naturally could not be used as the main weapon on the battlefield, but Shen Hao took a fancy to their sharp blades and the accompanying toxins, collected more than a dozen relatively complete poison blades, wrapped them in animal skins and put them in the satchel, and it was good to use them as flying knives at critical moments.
The pursuit of the defeated army continued until late at night, when the defenders of the city began to open the city gates, and groups of soldiers carrying torches went out of the city to clean up the battlefield and gather the army. Shen Hao also smoothly followed the army into the castle.
Although the defense of Bogner was ultimately won by Erathia's side, the forces of Nigon had already inflicted very much damage on the castle before reinforcements arrived. Although the fire in the city has long been extinguished, the blackened ruins and collapsed city defenses still tell people about the tragedy of the battle.
The streets were filled with overwhelmed soldiers and improvised men busily carrying corpses and repairing houses. There were also groups of priests dressed in white or gray robes who went around to help the wounded.
Although Shen Hao was only the lowest-ranking pikeman, it seemed that General Wilskai still did not forget to declare his military merits for him in his busy schedule, and after entering the city, an officer led him to a makeshift military camp. After receiving sacrificial treatment, Shen Hao was arranged to a separate barracks, and food and hot water could be taken at will. Shen Hao, who had been tossing all day, ate something indiscriminately and then collapsed on the marching bed to rest.
The post-war resettlement and aftermath work has always been very cumbersome, and there have been noisy voices and hurried footsteps outside the barracks this night, and Shen Hao did not sleep particularly peacefully. Of course, the bigger reason is because of the anxiety that the Nightmare Realm brought to him this time. A vast and complex magical world, unknown and powerful enemies, lost companions, and the mysterious power that inexplicably shields the memories of the past...... Although Shen Hao had experienced a hundred battles and was mentally prepared for this decisive battle, he still felt a powerful embarrassment. The future is full of dangers, but he has no idea where to start.
Shortly after dawn, the bugle sounded. Shen Hao put on the newly issued military uniform and armor, and rushed to the school field with the newly issued standard spear. Under the reprimand and command of the low-level officers, thousands of soldiers began to rehearse into neat phalanxes.
There were no familiar faces of Shen Hao around, and none of the soldiers who broke through from the sentry post with him seemed to have come to Bogner City alive. This is also a very normal thing, how can a dozen normal pikemen and crossbowmen find a way to survive in front of the thousands of elite troops of Nigon, after all, it is impossible for everyone to be a monster like Shen Hao.
The losses in last night's battle were even more tragic than Shen Hao had imagined, and the five thousand defenders responsible for defending the castle had lost more than 3,700 people, after all, under the crushing power of the black dragon, ordinary crossbowmen and pikemen had no way to resist. One of the lieutenants defending the city also organized an attack out of the city, but more than a thousand warriors, including him, were all under the minotaur's battle axe.
The Silver Heavy Knights and Griffon Knights brought by Welsky were stationed outside the city. The defenders of the city gathered the defeated army that had fled from the vicinity, and the defenders of the city barely gathered 2,000 men and reorganized according to their military merits.
Shen Hao didn't stay in Bogner City, his contribution this time was indeed not small, if he hadn't blocked the thousand harpys by mistake, if he had let them rush into the flank of the knights at night, the outcome of this battle would not have been necessarily the result of the battle. After all, the Griffin Knight and the Silver Heavy Knight are not used to night fights.
Moreover, Shen Hao was able to drag a thousand harpy banshees with the strength of one person, and even killed the leader of the other party's team, such combat power also made all those in the know secretly speechless. Coupled with General Wellskai's recommendation, a day later, Shen Hao followed the returning knights and slowly headed towards the hinterland of the Kingdom of Erathia.
......
In the war sequence of Erathia, in addition to the two powerful knights of the Griffin Knight and the Silver Heavy Knight, and the Holy Sacrifice Order, there are naturally more powerful infantry camps. However, the infantry is also divided into many ranks and arms, and the lowest level is naturally the pikemen and long-range support archbowmen that Shen Hao belonged to before, as well as the baggage soldiers and the engineering soldiers responsible for siege equipment. However, the most elite is a super infantry with a total number of less than 30,000 people, the Holy Crusaders.
The elite soldiers selected for this infantry regiment are carefully selected from the major legions, they have a strong enough physique, strong enough combat skills, and with the equipment specially customized for them by the military department, they are even inferior to the strongest silver heavy knights in the kingdom in terms of single combat effectiveness.
And Shen Hao was recommended to join this strong army this time. After filing at the military headquarters, his own officers arranged for him to come to the station of the Holy Crusade.
