Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Holy Manor of Lahai
Kulos would not have imagined that his gun would have opened the prelude to this battle.
With the help of the "Coffin of the Virgin", Kuros did not alarm the nearby French camp, and hurried all the way to the valley outside the Holy Manor of Lahai.
However, the sound of gunfire and explosions from his battle with the demons made the French mistakenly believe that the anti-French alliance was attacking their flanks.
Now that John Bull (the British nickname) is in a hurry, let's go to war! Let them see the power of the First French Empire!
Napoleon took the lead and personally led two cavalry divisions to raid one of the closest British artillery companies to him.
Because there was no rain to obstruct it, the French army was like a bamboo, and it was devastating. Not only did they take this artillery company, but they also wiped out all the British cavalry who came to stop the enemy! Once again, history has been rewritten.
The British lost the mobile support of the cavalry and were forced to retreat to the position on the Saint-Jean hill, relying on the terrain and artillery to block the French dragoons and lancers.
The French then pressed the border and easily took the Lahai Saint Manor, located in the middle of the battlefield, which was transformed from a British outpost into a French transport and transit point. As a result, the French army solved the problem of the historical cut off of supply lines, and its arrogance grew.
In the Lahai Holy Manor, the two teenagers were condescending, looking at the cavalry roaring outside the manor, and they were speechless.
In the era before the birth of tanks, cavalry was still the master of the battlefield, and Li Xianhua and Albert witnessed a French cuirassier company sweep past the fleeing British artillery unit like locusts, and the wind howled by, leaving only the severed limbs and corpses in one place.
If it's you, how long can you last in the face of them?
This is just a company, the French cuirassiers have a total of more than 4,000 people, plus more elite dragoons, lancers, etc., the French cavalry has more than 10,000 people.
Even if an exorcist is faced with these torrents of flesh and blood, how long can he last?
Li Xianhua felt his insignificance as a human being.
The manor has been turned into a logistics headquarters, and the orderlies are busy like worker ants. It's like the source of a river, where food, ammunition, and ordnance flow to the troops.
Especially the artillery, I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Xianhua felt that the artillery power of the French army was more powerful than in the history books, judging from the situation of the exchange of fire between the two sides during the day, the French artillery fire still pressed the British army under the unfavorable terrain under the mountain.
Although there were no powerful artillery shells in this era, the number of hundreds of artillery pieces was enough to change the trend of the entire battlefield.
With such a might, even the thousand-year-old earl can't get out of it, right?
Li Xianhua somewhat understood why the Noah family in the original book obviously had great strength, but they were just hiding in the shadows and playing tricks.
Because they are no match for humanity.
At least not yet.
The white-haired boy suddenly felt ridiculous about what he had been holding on to.
He thought he was the savior of this world, at least one of them.
He thought that everything he did had more or less changed the fate of mankind and the direction of the world.
He thought he was taking back the life of the world from the hands of the Millennium Earl.
But now he felt that the exorcist and the Millennium Earl were just two insignificant fleas on the behemoth of humans.
Only human beings can destroy humanity.
"Destroying the world, saving the world, or something, is really the second in death." Li Xianhua laughed at himself.
"Instantaneous, what are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, let's hurry up and join up with Kuros and them."
"But we don't know where the Demon Factory is?" Albert looked carefully to the left and right, and whispered when he saw that there was no one.
"Well, I didn't know, but now I can probably guess it," letting go of some obsessions, Li Xianhua felt that his mind was clearer, "The Demon Factory should be here." ”
"Why?"
"Quite simply, it's a battlefield, and it's still inhabited. And don't you think that the British army was defeated too quickly in the morning? The outpost, which took five days to build, fell in an hour, and not a single British soldier escaped. ”
"You mean"
"Those who live there must be Neiying, and most likely demons."
Albert wanted to ask again, but Li Xianhua had already gotten off the watchtower.
"Let's go. Find those demons and destroy the factory. ”
Kuros held the Confessor, and the coffin of the Virgin stood quietly beside him.
The valley is littered with LV2 corpses.
The task was accomplished, but Kuros was not happy at all.
Because not far in front of him, there was a fat man.
The Millennial Earl looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Long time no see, Kuros. You're even better than last time! Congratulations~~. The Millennial Earl bowed.
Kuros didn't react, just looked at the Millennial Earl.
The culprit who killed his wife.
The Millennium Earl didn't feel cold at all: "Are you still angry with me?" There are some things that have been going on for a long time, and they should be let go. ”
The fat man had the expression of a man who had come over, and he cared about his enemies.
Kuros smiled.
How can you forget?
It was also such a valley that day, and the fat man held his wife's heart in his hand and smiled smugly at himself.
"I've been looking for you for a long time." Kuros raised his gun.
The gun rang out, but the target was lost.
The Millennium Earl held the pumpkin umbrella in his hand and walked in the air, with a smile in his eyes: "Last time, 50 demons didn't kill you, this time I specially prepared 300 for you~~." ”
Shadows of fangs and claws cast over the valley, enveloping Kuros.
"Do you think this garbage can trap me?"
"Of course not, as long as I can drag you here. After today, it's OK. ”
"My troops have already gone to the Lahai Holy Manor, and your plan is meaningless."
"Hehehehe, Algernon's words are indeed already at the manor," the Millennium Count observed Koulos's expression with interest, "but he is one of my subordinates." ”
Kuros's pupils contracted instantly.
"Kuros-chan, I heard that you have a resounding name, the 'Red Lion'. But in my opinion, it's more interesting to call it 'Red-Haired Hyena'. "The Millennial Count disappeared into thin air.
The entrance to the valley has been blocked by the demons of lv2, and the demons are rolling towards Kuros like a tidal wave.
The demons howled and unleashed their own abilities, and the small valley became a purgatory on earth. And Kuros is the only human trapped in this purgatory.
Kuros lit a cigarette and vanished, leaving only a flurry of bullets in place, and the first approaching demons were beaten into a sieve.
At the same time that the demon lost its target, Kuros had already appeared on a tall lv2.
The judge in his right hand rests on top of the demon's head, and in his left hand he holds a cigarette in his hand. LV2 trembled under him, and his huge eyes looked at Kuros, begging for mercy with his eyes.
Kuros took a few puffs, and the cigarette butt crushed into the demon's eye, making the LV2 shiver in pain.
"You're going to make it fun for me."
"Instantaneous, is this the entrance to the Demon Factory?"
"Hmm." Li Xianhua looked at the mouth of the cellar, the dead air below was thick, and it was unscrupulously vented through the cellar.
"What now? Master Kuros, they don't know where they are. ”
"You stay here, I'll go down and have a look."
"No! I can't let you go alone! Albert glared.
"Listen to me! You're in charge of picking up Culos and Algernon, and I'll just go down and find the way, don't worry. Li Xianhua went into the darkness alone, leaving Albert alone at the mouth of the cellar.
"I'm so useless! Instantaneous, you have to be careful! ”
