Volume 7: The Chamber of Secrets of Blackstone Mountain (Remastered) Chapter 42: The Parade of the Dead in Lasgard (12)
Thirty kilometers northwest of the ruins of Bursburg, a small hill of gravel and sand piled up is 56 meters horizontal.
"It's the worst time possible!" Northmberg, the vice president of the Skeletons, held up the monocular in his hand, sighed helplessly, and shook his head.
Compared with Northumberburg's frustration, President Chemun, who was also holding a telescope on the side, did not have a disappointed expression at all, but a look of relish: "I can't say that, I think we have met the best time!" ”
"The best timing?" "We were going to talk to that Anchorson about Lasgard, but now do you think we'll be able to walk to the ruins of Bursburg alive?" ”
Fort Northumbre asked, pointing to the dozens of cavalry that were galloping towards them not far from the hill.
After the Pharaoh Alliance occupied the three ruins let out by Yu Bin, the other guilds didn't care about anything, they also sent some people into these ruins to investigate, and Ankeshan also acquiesced in the actions of these guilds out of the consideration of not wanting to make more enemies, anyway, as long as they didn't come to touch this cake, just hanging around wouldn't stir his sensitive nerves.
But as more and more town cores were excavated by several guilds of the Pharaoh Alliance, other guilds couldn't sit still, especially after Yu Bin disappeared with the army of undead, several big guilds who thought they were strong secretly discussed, and finally decided to send someone to negotiate with Ankeshan, trying to get the Pharaoh Alliance to let a part of the area come out, at least not all of them alone, otherwise, what is the difference between this and Yu Bin's approach?
At the same time, because of Yu Bin's withdrawal, the hunting regiments that originally blocked the entire Lasgard gradually began to disappear, which made those small guilds and retail players begin to flock into this area, which greatly damaged the interests of other guilds, after all, originally under the control of Yu Bin, although a lot of income had to be handed over, at least the territory allocated to each guild was large enough, and there were no competitors, and now, not only did many competitors come, but these competitors were not rumored, This greatly reduces the territory controlled by the big guilds, and at the same time has to pay many additional costs, such as pensions for guild members who are killed for fighting for territory.
Therefore, as the corpse of the dead who is more famous for the entire chaos camp and has a more kind attitude, it was unanimously elected by the other major guilds to come to Anksan to discuss the re-blockade of Lasgard as a negotiator.
Kemon didn't shirk either, and set off to the ruins of Fort Bulls with the vice president Northenberg and a few elite players, but he didn't expect that before they could reach their destination, they had to stay on this small dirt mountain for the safety of their own lives.
"Look at the flag, it seems to be the Krubelos Chasseur." Northenberg said that among the dozens of knights galloping towards them, one was carrying a brightly colored banner with a three-headed dog of the underworld painted on it.
Kemon nodded: "It's from the Cerberus Wing, but I don't know which of their hunting regiments came." ”
In the chaos camp, there are some hunting regiments that like to call themselves by the same name, so that people can see at a glance that these hunting regiments are from the same place, the more famous is the Cerberus United, and the entire Cerberus Wing is subordinate to hundreds of hunting regiments, distributed in various races in the entire chaotic camp, and they are distinguished from each other by their serial numbers.
After a while, dozens of knights had already arrived at the bottom of the small dirt mountain, and Kemon also walked down with Northberg and others to greet them.
As for the escape, Kemon and Northenberg did not think about it from the beginning.
The other party can arrange such a cavalry in such a place, it is conceivable that the vicinity must be monitored by the other party, and there is only one consequence of escaping, that is, being surrounded and intercepted by more cavalry until it is eliminated.
"We are the Seventy-third Chasseur Regiment of the Cerberus Wing, which guild are you from?" The galloping cavalry stopped at a distance of ten meters from Kaimeng and the others, showing a superb riding skill, and the cavalry captain at the head rode up with a deputy holding a flag, stood five meters away from Kaimeng and the others, and asked.
It's a hunting regiment of the Cerberus Wing! When Kemon saw the other party stop at a distance of five meters, he couldn't help but secretly admire. At this distance, whether they want to attack or escape, there is enough time to react, a squad leader with dozens of cavalry can have such quality, and has to make Kemon sigh, compared to the subordinates of their own guild who only know how to rush forward and fight, these hunters can be said to be real professional soldiers.
"I'm Kemon, the leader of the Bones Guild, and this is my vice-president, Fort Northumbr, and a few of my men." Kaymon introduced himself, "We just happened to be passing by, I don't know why you stopped us!" ”
The cavalry captain obviously knew about the Guild of the Bones, glanced at Kemon, and then gestured to the dozens of cavalry behind him, and the cavalry, who had long been ready to go, quickly dispersed and surrounded him in a semi-encircled manner.
"What are you trying to do here?" Although Kaymon knows that the Cerberus United has a good reputation in the chaotic camp, there is a case in everything, maybe these people in front of him want to kill people?
"I'm sorry, President Kemon! You can't go any further! "From now on, you will be accompanied by us to the ruins of the Ruhr, and you will be able to leave safely by staying there for three hours." ”
Kemon knew about the Ruhr Ruins, a small ruin half-buried behind a hill like a mine.
"Do you want to kidnap and rob?" Northumbriel asked loudly, in the game, restricting players to a certain place and making the other party pay a certain price for freedom, which is the kidnapping that Northumbram said, in order not to let their souls be wasted, many players without a background will choose to pay some gold coins in exchange for their freedom, but Northumbram didn't expect that even the famous Cerberus Wing Hunting Regiment would do this kind of thing.
Kemon wasn't as worried as Northamberg, he raised his hand to stop the other people from trying to get their weapons, and stepped forward: "If I'm not mistaken, that Death Knight Ice Whisper Dry Bone is going to attack the Pharaoh Alliance, right?" I didn't expect that your Cerberus United was also a pawn in the hands of that Excellency! It just so happens that I still have a bit of a friendship with His Excellency Bingyu, I wonder if you can take us to meet him? I don't think it's any different from spying on us. ”
The cavalry captain thought about it for a moment and nodded: "I can send someone to ask our regiment leader, the name of the Bones Guild, I am also like thunder, but before the regiment commander's order comes down, I still hope that you can walk with us and don't make any unwise moves." ”
"No problem!" Kemon raised his hands in the air, indicating that he had no intention of running away.
Ten minutes later, the cavalry and the others received a reply, and the commander of the hunting regiment said that they could continue to go deeper under the escort of the cavalry, but only Kemeng and Northsenberg.
After sending several other men to follow a dozen cavalry to the ruins of the Ruhr and other news, Kemon and Northenburg continued to advance towards the ruins of Bursburg with the cavalry captain and others.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the scouts of the Pharaoh's Alliance?" Northenberg asked the cavalry captain who was walking to the side.
Kemon answered Northumberburg's question on behalf of the other party: "I think, those scouts of the Pharaoh Alliance have long been cleaned up, anyway, the scouts go out to investigate and report back, at least an hour, more than a few hours, in two or three hours, even if a group of scouts become dead, those guys from the Pharaoh Alliance will not notice it at all in a short time." ”
"We're here!" The captain of the cavalry neither admitted nor denied it, but raised his hand and pointed in the distance, from which a small group of cavalry also rushed out, apparently preparing to inquire.
"This, this is!" Northenberg was shocked, he didn't expect to see such a scene.
The place where they were at this point was obviously a small hilly terrain, and the difference in height of several meters allowed Fort Northumber to get a clear view of the situation in the distance.
I saw that on this land, there were eight phalanxes neatly arranged, each phalanx was a standard five-hundred-person hunting regiment, twenty-five people in a row, a total of twenty columns.
As the saying goes, there are more than a thousand people, and there are no boundaries if there are more than 10,000 people, and this whole 4,000 people is enough to make Northumborg feel boundless.
It's not that Northupburg, as the vice president of the Guild of Dead Bones, has never seen this kind of big scene, but the gathering of ordinary players and the army formation in front of him bring him two completely different feelings, no matter how many people there are in the former, it also makes him feel that he is a street gangster, noisy and unordered, while the latter, even if it is only four thousand people in front of him, eight phalanxes, also makes him feel a sense of slaughter.
In addition, these 4,000 people are all official cavalry, not just those players riding mounts.
What is a regular cavalry? Northumbram had a lot to say, as their Bones Guild had built up a cavalry team composed entirely of players, and although the number was less than three hundred, the cost of it almost allowed Northumbram to empty the guild's coffers.
First of all, to become a cavalryman, the player's profession must be a knight's profession, because only the knight's profession has cavalry skills that can be launched with mounts, otherwise, a warrior must dismount if he wants to charge, that is not called cavalry, that is called mounted infantry!
Secondly, a regular cavalry should be equipped with two weapons, a three-meter-long cavalry spear, a one-handed long sword, and a small shield that can be equipped on the arm, plus a set of cavalry armor.
Finally, a regular cavalry that can be used to fight in addition to the requirements of occupation and equipment, but also to go through a lot of training, not to say that you ride a war horse, hold a cavalry gun, and rush forward without a head, how to keep a distance from your teammates when the cavalry rushes into battle, how to expand the results after breaking through the enemy formation, etc., etc., these need to go through a lot of training, you know, in reality is not the previous Middle Ages, the current players may have played with pistols, rifles, submachine guns, It's not impossible to even use RPGs to bombard a few shots a day, but they just haven't engaged cavalry, and since the tanks came out, this once strategic arm has only been left with the life of playing with spears on the racetrack.
Therefore, although the bones of the dead have a cavalry, to be honest, even Northumber thinks that it is a guard of honor used for display, and if it is really to be pulled out to fight, it may not be able to get the same number of ordinary players.
But the four thousand cavalry in front of him were different, and Fort Northumbre could see it.
The neat and orderly array, the almost identical spacing between the two cavalrymen side by side, and the posture of riding on the mount without moving, these things are not piled up by equipment, profession and skill, but can only be achieved by a large number of long-term training.
"Welcome!" The leader of the team was a knight wearing a full-covered helmet, judging from the undead war horse under the crotch, it should be an undead knight.
"Hello! Don't know what to call it? Kemon asked, unlike the cavalry team that had escorted them before, the chaser regiments lined up here did not have any flags, so Kemon couldn't tell which chaser these people belonged to.
The knight who led the team took off his helmet, and under the helmet was a face that was more familiar to Kaymon, because the other party's hunting regiment was developing in the same city as the skeleton.
"It's you! Harv! Surprised Caymon exclaimed, "What are you?" ”
"Hello, President Kemon!" Huff smiled, though the undead's face was inconvenient to smile, "We are all smart people, there are some things we don't need to say, the Lord agreed to President Kemon's request, so, from now on, the two of you will be fighting side by side with me." ”
"Fighting side by side? So, you really are? ”
"That's right, the entire Cerberus Wing is a paramilitary force of the Snake of Eaters, not only us, but Olympus, Bano Dolden, they are just like us!" Huff did not hesitate to tell the inside story that shocked the two of them.
Olympus and Barnaodoradon, these two names are the same as the Cerberus United, they are both super-large chaser organizations composed of hundreds, if not thousands, of hunting regiments, and Kemon never thought that these hunting organizations that were not much inferior to a grand guild were actually props in the hands of the Devouring Serpent.
"Well, there's no time to shock the two! Our time to set off is almost up! Huff waved his hand and led the two of them towards the array.
"Go?"
"That's right! Meet up with the Death Knight and kick those idiots in the ass! Huff laughed, put on his helmet, and rode his horse to the front of the four thousand cavalry.
The undead knight raised his hand in the air and swung it down!
Northumbram saw that the cavalrymen, who were originally as quiet as virgins, quickly gathered according to the formation of hedgehogs that they had trained for a long time according to the instructions issued by Huff, drove the war horses under their crotch, and advanced towards the ruins of Bursburg under the leadership of the leading cavalry.
