【Chapter 244】 Monument to the Heroic Soul
Marbury, with the strength of his arm, dragged him with a drill belt, and led Robles to the front of the crowd, and then he smelled a strong smell of blood, and his eyes were shocked when he looked over - there were more than thirty orcs lying in three rows, disemboweled, severed hands and legs, brains overflowing, organs flowing sideways, and the death was extremely tragic.
"Hiss~~" Robles gasped, the scene of the corpse was too shocking, he had heard countless rumors of orcs in Waterdeep City, and he had also seen the tower of skulls in front of the city gate. But that was the result of nearly a month of autumn suppression by all the knights of the entire Waterdeep City. Moreover, the number of wounded knights in the order has always been kept secret, and rumors say that the number of knights sacrificed is about twice that of orcs.
Looking at the entire Blackstone Collar, apart from Sir Weimar's only poorly equipped fifty or sixty knights, and the strange mysterious infantry with shaved heads, the rest were the militia.
According to common sense, even if you can win, it must be a miserable victory.
"Hey, Marbury. ”
The crowd around them was extremely noisy, and the farmers were no less shocked than they were. Robles patted Marbury on the shoulder, leaned into his ear, and raised his voice: "I remember, you said that only a dozen wounded were brought back?"
"Ahh Just a dozen of them. ”
"Unbelievable!" said Robles, his face full of confusion.
"Let it all go, let it go! The lord is here. "In the midst of the commotion, several knights broke in, splitting a road. Wearing a bright silver armor, a big sword at her waist, and a cloak, Leah walked into the arena in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
The angular face was full of confidence, and Leah raised her head slightly, looked around at the farmers around her, and gently raised her head to make a downward gesture.
The noisy crowd immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at Leah nervously and curiously.
"As you can see, these are the orcs who tried to attack us last night. Leah's clear voice sounded: "Thirty orc warriors, and ......" Ria raised her voice, waved her hand slightly, and the four knights behind her carried in a huge blood war hammer: "An orc centurion!"
With a coax, the crowd exploded, and the hideous bloody war hammer showed how powerful the orcs who could use this weapon were.
"Centurion Warhammer. Blacksmith Marbury's pupils dilated instantly, as a blacksmith, from the size of the war hammer, he could roughly visually measure the weight of ten pounds. During his time in Waterdeep, he and his master were in the Blacksmiths' Guild and heard people discuss this bloody warhammer.
In addition to the weight of the war hammer, it is also made of materials, which are much stronger and tougher than ordinary steel, and even Beska steel cannot match it. It is said that it was made by orcs from meteoric iron from outside the sky, and only orc warriors with status are eligible to use it.
"I think ......" Leah's expression was solemn, and her tone was slightly solemn: "Many older people may remember many years ago. We, the Blackstone Collar, the bitter war with the orcs that lasted for years. Countless farmers and livestock were mercilessly slaughtered. Children lose their fathers, wives lose their husbands, and our ancestors struggle in the abyss of pain and fear. ”
There were indeed many survivors of the last war in the crowd, and painful memories were evoked.
"yes, I've been through those terrible years. A gray-haired farmer in his fifties wiped tears from the corners of his eyes: "My parents were killed by orcs." Right in front of me, these terrible orcs. ”
"Old John, I'm just like you. My father and uncle were captured by the orcs. A slightly younger farmer patted old John on the back: "I was only eleven years old then." ”
"Yes, we can't forget that past, that painful memory. Leah scanned the crowd and clenched her fists, "My father, your beloved Lord Jarot. Also sacrificed at the hands of orcs to protect the people. ”
"But now!" Leah's eyebrows raised, "we're not going to be afraid of them anymore, we're going to continue our revenge." The black stone collar will always stand. The orcs in front of you have paid the price for the sins of their ancestors. ”
The crowd gradually quieted down, and a pair of eyes fell on Lia, curious, questioning.
"Our brave warriors, with great courage, defeated them. None of them escaped!" Leah clenched the hilt of her sword in her hand and her expression was impassioned: "The five knights paid for it with their precious lives, they died heroically, heroically, and deservedly. They deserve the respect of all of us, the memory of all. ”
Five knights?
Only five knights were sacrificed?
The crowd was boiling again, and everyone's faces were written with incredulity. Compared to the dozens of corpses in front of them, the five knights were simply incredible.
"My God, Mr. Robles, did we hear me wrong?" said Marbury, opening his mouth wide in surprise, "Shouldn't it be fifty?"
"There's no need to lie about this kind of thing, and you can't lie. Robles' brows furrowed tightly: "Now everyone in the Blackstone Territory lives in the camp, many of them are knights' families, and the loss of so many knights is impossible to hide." I think — maybe that's true. ”
"Yes, you heard it right. Leah pressed her hands down again: "Tomorrow morning, we will lay our flowers and pay our respects to these five brave knights, and pray for their heroic souls to enter Valhalla." ”
Leah glanced at the crowd and saw Robles, beckoning to him, "Mr. Robles, you are a stonemason hired by our Blackstone Collar. I'd like to ask if you can carve stone tablets?"
Robles hurriedly walked out of the crowd and nodded: "Lord Hui, what do you want to raise the stone tablet?"
"A monument to the Heroic Soul. Leah took a soft breath: "Use the best stone, be tall and eye-catching." Any warrior who defends the Blackstone Realm will have their glorious names engraved on it. It will forever stand in the Black Stone Collar for everyone to admire and remember. ”
"My lord, that's fine, I'll come up with a few plans. Robles bowed slightly, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, shouldn't the knight's heroic spirit go to the holy heaven?
He didn't know that Valhalla, what Leah was talking about—belonged to the majestic Crem.
"Very well, I'll leave this matter to you. Leah nodded in satisfaction, then lifted her cloak, drew the great sword at her waist, the sharp blade shimmered with the sun's light, and said in a high-pitched voice, "I, Leah Sander." I swear to always guard the Black Stone Collar and not hesitate to give my life. Our brave warriors will be the shield of all, guarding you forever. Rejoice, for the victory of the Blackstone Lords!
"For the victory of the Blackstone Lord! ”
Eric, who was working as a nurse in the crowd, immediately shouted. Then the enthusiasm of the rest of the people was also ignited, and the terrible orc corpse brought a strong shock to everyone's hearts, as well as an indescribable sense of security.
......
Leah is announcing victory to the farmers, inspiring. Qin Song was not idle, he was in the temporary camp of the soldiers, listening to the battle reports of Ralph, Hunn, Monko and others, as well as their respective experiences.
However, they are pirates, with limited knowledge, limited experience, and limited vision, and they don't know anything about the new combat mode of this thermal weapon, and they can't say why they can't say why.
At this time, Senior Sergeant Merlin lifted the curtain of the door and respectfully reported: "Commander, Harald has woken up. ”
"Really?" Qin Song stood up, Harald had distinguished himself in yesterday's battle, but fortunately he kept a round of ammunition and briefly restrained Camuro, waiting for Riya's help. Otherwise, once Camuro enters the crowd, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"How's his legs?"
When Luna arrives at the battlefield, her legs and body are almost separated, and Harald, who has lost so much blood, is only a thin line away from death.
Merlin's face was full of admiration: "Miss Luna's divine power is amazing. Harald's legs miraculously recovered. And the complexion is also a lot better, and it looks like it will recover in a few days. ”
"Let's go, take me around. Ralph, come too, I have an important decision to announce. ”
"Yes, Commander. ”
When she lifted the curtain and walked into the shed, Luna was wiping the sweat from her forehead, and Harald, who was lying on the blanket, was half-leaning against the wall, and her voice was weak, "Thank you, Miss Luna." This...... It's really incredible. ”
"Let's save your strength and thank your commander. Luna smiled playfully, "You're lucky, it's just your legs, if you smash your chest." Tsk, you're probably buried in the ground right now. ”
"Yes, yes. Harald looked at the cute little girl with a childish look on her face, and her heart was full of gratitude. The moment the bloody hammer fell, he felt that he was dead, and he could not imagine that he would wake up one day, and what was even more surprising was that his legs were also unharmed.
"Luna?" Qin Song's smiling voice sounded.
Luna's eyes lit up, she turned around, walked quickly to Qin Song's side, ran over excitedly, pointed at Harald, straightened her small chest, and looked proud: "Qin, huh, you see? What I promised, I will definitely be able to do it." ”
"Well, you're doing a great job. Qin Song nodded lightly, and did not hesitate to praise: "Snatch life back from the hands of death, Luna, how do you feel?"
"Feel? hehe, of course it's great......! It's just that the process is a little disgusting. Luna patted her little chest, "You didn't see that when the wound healed, the flesh was wriggling like worms." Grope~~ No, I can't say it anymore. By the way, Qin, I have a small request. ”
