The night is getting darker, and the early spring night is still chilly. Hope is quiet and peaceful, the residents return to their homes after a day's work, and the unicorn mercenary group begins to rest.

Twenty miles away, a makeshift resting place for two hundred cavalrymen.

A strong man in black iron armor slowly got up from under the big tree he was leaning on, and after picking up the knight's spear leaning on the trunk of the big tree, the strong man waved his hand and lifted the scarlet cloak behind him. Then he stepped on the stirrup of the war horse on his side with his left foot, and with a leap of his feet, his whole body landed firmly on the back of the tall war horse.

With a "snap", the strong man slammed the knight's spear in his hand on the dry ground.

As he moved, the two hundred horsemen who were resting began to move, sorted out their equipment, and then turned over on their horses.

"The four-cornered demon elephant cleared the way and leveled the town ahead. ”

"Let's go!"

The strong man drew his knight's spear and roared.

"Flatten the town!" the cavalry shouted in unison. A huge elephant covered in armor walked ahead with two horsemen.

The Four-Horned Golem is a magical beast unique to the Forest of Chaos, with an adult golem body measuring six meters in length, three meters tall, and weighing an astonishing ten tons. It doesn't have any offensive capabilities, but it's super resistant to hits, and its four monstrous horns are so sharp that it's often used to ram walls and undermine the town's defenses.

The cavalry team finished assembling and then marched slowly in the direction of Hope Town.

Half a prayer hour later, the sound of a fierce gong resounded throughout Hope Town. The gongs of the two observation posts on the other side of the town gate were sounded at the same time, followed by the sound of footsteps and the cacophony of people.

The unicorn mercenary group was taken aback by this huge movement, and Captain Bobble came out as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts.

At first, Bobble thought that Hope Town had been attacked by a horde of monsters, but when he walked out of the cabin, he dismissed this suspicion because he didn't hear any monster roars. All he could hear was the muffled sound of a slow tap on the ground, and a slight tremor coming from the ground.

Four-Horned Golem!

Bobble reacted instantly, and then he shouted, "Enemy attack! It's the four-horned demon elephant, and their target is the city gate." Quickly block the gates of the city with carts and goods. ”

Twenty years as a mercenary has made Barber familiar with how to deal with various emergencies. The four-horned golem opens the way, and then the cavalry advances, which is a classic siege tactic.

But as soon as he opened his mouth to shout, Bobble was surprised to find that the town had made the right decision.

I saw two small groups of town guards pushing twenty carts full of sacks to the city gate, and then they not only blocked the city gate with ten carts, but even lined up the remaining ten carts and placed them horizontally behind the city walls on both sides of the city gate to strengthen the city walls.

Hope Town's response was swift and accurate, much to the relief of Commander Bobble. And the next situation broke the cognition of Head Bobble even more.

Thirty guards with bows and arrows in their hands and quivers climbed the walls with their dexterity, and then crouched on the platforms above the walls where the defenders could stand. After finding cover, thirty guards took aim outside the town.

With thirty crossbowmen in place, two more tall ladders were brought and set up on the walls. Then ten guards carried barrels and climbed the walls along the ladders that had been erected. Eventually, Barber saw the ten guards throw the barrels out of the city.

"Plop"

This is the sound of a wooden barrel falling into the water.

Barber understood that the barrels contained oil, and the guards tossed ten barrels full of oil into the moat on the outskirts of the town.

Seeing this, Bobble remembered the ridicule of one of his teammates when they first entered the town.

"A dilapidated town, and also learned the appearance of a big city, digging a moat less than half a meter. What can this do, you can step over with one step, and you don't have to jump. It's really a bun of grandiose buns. ”

Now Bobble would love to ask the team member who mocked Hope Town's approach, can he still laugh at it?

Sure enough, after the barrel had been tossed for half a minute, one of the guards threw another torch into the moat, and the flames almost turned the night red.

This wall of fire may not have the ultimate effect of stopping the enemy, but it has bought Hope valuable time to deploy its defenses.

Then, the town of Hope began to gather all the men who could fight.

Some were guards, some were civilians working day-to-day, some were workers repairing the walls during the day, and Bobble even saw two of them, the guys from the two general stores.

They may have different occupations and different identities, but they are holding the same spear at the moment, the expression on their faces is the same determination, and their movements are so uniform.

Eventually, a group of about 150 people assembled within three prayers. Then, under the leadership of two heavily armored swordsmen, shouting strange slogans and walking strange steps, they advanced to a position twenty paces from the city wall.

At the same time, it was not only the Horse Rejection Formation that had been assembled, but also twenty guards with weapons in their hands, lined up in the direction of the Unicorn Mercenary Group, whose mission was to prevent the Unicorn Mercenary Group from taking the opportunity to raid the weak points in the rear of the large army.

Bobble took a deep breath, then spit out again, and the battle was fought.

Such a reaction ability, such a speed of assembly, and such a combat quality, even if it is the regular army of a great empire, may not be able to achieve all of them. But the town of hope in front of him did it easily, you must know that these personnel are not regular troops, they are just a group of wandering homeless people and fugitives, shouldn't they just survive in normal times?

"I'm surprised, Captain Bobble. ”

An abrupt voice sounded, and Bobble turned his head to see that it was the team member who liked to read with a Bible in his hand, and he seemed to be named Augustine.

"Is that you? who are you?" Barber's eyes narrowed into a slit, his usual gesture in the face of danger.

Bobble is not stupid, Augustine is really not in the state of an ordinary little mercenary at the moment. Bobble may not have noticed his anomaly before, but when Augustine came to him unusually in this situation, and said something like this, as long as it wasn't a pig brain, he could see something unusual in it.

Oss smiled indifferently, as if he didn't notice the sharp momentum that had changed in Bobble's body, and he didn't answer Bobble's question, but just said to himself.

"Hope isn't in the ideal state yet, and there's room for improvement in their reaction and rally. But they can't be blamed for that, they've coped with the best they can do so far, and they've done everything they can so far. ”

After a pause, Oss leisurely took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one and handed it to Bobble first, but Bobble did not take it, but made an attacking gesture. Oss laughed, put the cigarette to his mouth, lit it, and continued.

"Dandelion has only been in Hope for five months, so ah, it's too late to blame. ”

"Who the hell are you?" Barber was on the verge of making a move, and he smelled danger from Augustine.

Oss turned, stretched out his right hand, and reached out to Barber.

"Captain Bobble, let's get to know each other again. My name is not Augustine, it's just my pseudonym. My real name is Oss. ”

Barber didn't shake hands, just looked at Oss coldly. "I don't care what your name is, I just want to know your true identity right now, and the purpose of your concealment of your identity to infiltrate my unicorn mercenary group. ”

Oss didn't retract his hand, he kept it as it was.

"I am the leader of the Huaxia Mercenary Group, I entered the Unicorn Mercenary Group without malicious intent, maybe you have also heard about the recent series of actions of the Mercenary Guild against the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce and the Huaxia Mercenary Group, the reason why I appeared here is to find out their action troops, and then eliminate them. ”

Bobble looked shocked. "You are the leader of the Huaxia Mercenary Group, the top ten Huaxia Mercenary Group, the top ten Huaxia Mercenary Group, the senior of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce?"

Oss smiled brightly, "It's here, Captain Bobble, shake hands, I'm very tired with my hands raised." ”

Bobble stiffly raised his right hand, shook it with Os, and then let go of it blankly.

Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, Huaxia Mercenary Group, head of the regiment "Patriarch". In the Forest of Chaos and the mercenary world in the past two prayer years, it is a legend, which even the hostile mercenary union and the general association of chambers of commerce have to admit.

"I didn't expect to meet a legend like you today, and I didn't expect you to be one of my team members. ”

As for Os's identity, Barber was somewhat convinced. Not to mention that no one dares to pretend at all, just looking at Oss's current majestic momentum, Barber can also be sure that the person in front of him is the legendary leader who led the Huaxia Mercenary Group to rise in the mercenary world within two prayer years, the guy who was called "Patriarch" by the mercenaries.

Bobble immediately reacted and said, "Do you want our unicorn mercenary group to help defend the city?"

Now the situation is urgent, and Bobble doesn't want to waste time because of nonsense, so he asks straight to the point.

"Thank you, Commander Bobble, for your kindness, but I think what you need to do now is to get rid of the traitors in your regiment. ”

Oss handed out a cigarette again, and along with it, a piece of paper.

Bobble didn't refuse this time, and after taking the cigarette, he also held it to his mouth like Os, and then took the piece of paper and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, Bobble's face became a little angry. But soon, he did a good job of hiding his anger again.

"Captain Os, I'll be able to deal with this matter soon. This time I guess it should be the main cavalry team of the mercenary union, and our mercenary group can still help, of course, I don't underestimate Captain Oss, but there are many people and great strength. ”

Oss thanked him again, and then spoke, "It may seem to you that the inhabitants of Hope Town are weak and humble, but in my heart, they are so bright and powerful. They themselves have chosen to yearn for the light, and the light will shine on them. ”

"I've been in the Unicorn Mercenary Group for more than a month of prayer, and I know that Captain Barble is interested in joining our Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, so you're sure to agree with our philosophy. Tonight, let me prove to you that even if you live in the gutter, you still have the right to look up at the stars. ”
