Chapter 127: Rescue
The strong fishy smell of the cave was about to make Collieville faint, and when he heard his captain Puton's order to retreat and wanted to turn away, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, and the violent suffocation in his lungs made him unable to make a sound. He slowly lowered his head www.biquge.info pen "Fun", and only saw a bloody tip of the sword.
Behind? Shouldn't there be only the corpses of the enemies that have just been solved in the back? Collieville didn't understand why he was attacked from behind until he died.
"Ahh The sudden cry from the rear team made Pupton's heart beat hard.
"Necromancy!!" The uneasiness gradually spread among the more than 300 people, and the noise grew louder and more intense.
"Stay in formation!!" Purton roared, Nord's talent for a loud voice did wonders to appease the demoralized team......
The trees in the forest are not very dense, enough to run horses, but they can't allow the cavalry to form a formation to attack, which is why Wei Xu asked Kede's cavalry to line up outside the forest to prepare to respond. But now, these cavalry can only rush into the forest, which is the main force that Wei Xu's subordinates currently have.
Use the cavalry as infantry, I'm afraid I'll be scolded to death when the news spreads. Controlling the horse and flashing a thick tree trunk in front of him, Wei Xu sneered slightly.
"Boss, the two scouts you just sent out are back." Robben rushed up from behind and said to Wei Xu.
"How's the news over there?" Wei Xu had a bad premonition in his heart.
Robben's face was not very good, "I went down to the cave twice, and the scouts didn't go in, and rushed back directly to deliver the news to us."
"Let's split the way here, we'll take half of each and split in two directions, I'll go to Wilcas's side, you go to Puton's side, withdraw immediately after picking up the people, don't fight, the cave is the home of the vampires." Wei Xu raised his hand, and then stopped his horse, and the more than 100 cavalry behind him gradually slowed down and stopped.
"Huh? Top dog? I'm your guard, and the mage guard can't leave the mage. Robben said a little reluctantly.
"Uh...... Robben, have you forgotten that I'm not just a mage? Wei Xu touched the tip of his nose, did he look so weak?
"That's right......" Robben bared his teeth, touched his big bald head and smiled, only then did he remember that the young man in front of him who looked soft and weak could compete with him.
"After receiving the people, fill in the hole directly, and guard the stronghold until I bring Wilcas and them." After Wei Xu hurriedly gave another order, he ordered a few teams to follow him to the southeast.
His only hope now is that Wilcas can hold on a little longer, that is, all the people he brought over are folded inside, and Wilkas doesn't kneel. In the original game, Wilcas is a core member of the Brother-in-Arms Reunion Ring organization, and his ability must be speechless. And after getting along for a period of time, Wei Xu also has a good impression of Wilcas, the obedient Geng Zhib.
The shadows of the trees on both sides kept passing backwards, but such a sunny and windless weather could not arouse Wei Xu's slightest appreciation. In the final analysis, Wei Xu was just an ordinary otaku before, and although he is now in charge of a town, in some ways it is Ote who is a few years younger than him who really does the work. Wei Xu's role is to use various technologies to "share", use his knowledge of this game world to unite everyone, and then lead everyone to seek the greatest benefits. War is not a one-man fight, being able to train such an army and have such supplies is already all Wei Xu can do.
Wei Xu didn't think he was a good commander, and the previous wave of total annihilation of Phocles actually relied on the strength of his own troops, excellent standard armor and swords, unified command, special training, and the fight of gongs and drums in front of him. Like today's battle, it completely exposed the shortcomings of Wei Xu's words, to put it bluntly, Wei Xu's combat consciousness is not enough, if Wei Xu's common sense reserve is stuffed to the general in the Turrias Empire's battle against the storm, and Turias is not even needed, if his adjutant Rui Ji stands in Wei Xu's position and has Wei Xu's common sense reserve, this battle will become a total annihilation.
Although I was very unhappy in my heart, I was unhappy that I carelessly ignored such an important thing, and I was unhappy that I didn't have the talent of a commander to win the battle more smoothly.
Not long after the horse ran, Wei Xu finally saw the wooden fence not far away, and finally arrived at this stronghold. At this time, the entire stronghold was empty, except for the pungent fishy smell emanating from the cave in the middle diagonally downward.
"Adjutant! Send a few people to guard this place, prepare the fire oil, and the rest of the people search around for such caves. Wait until the logistics team comes and let them prepare enough clay, and they dig their own graves, and we can't say anything if we don't fill them in. As he spoke, Wei Xu dropped two thunderstorm runes at the entrance of the cave, and walked towards the cave with only two scouts.
"Your Excellency...... I don't need to send a few more people......" The mustachioed adjutant asked very earnestly when he saw that Wei Xu was only with two scouts.
"No, it's too cumbersome for too many people to go down, and there are our own people in the cave." Before the bearded adjutant could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Xu waving his hand.
As soon as you enter the cave, a dark wind blows in your face, and if you can ignore the faint fishy smell inside, this cool feeling is very useful on a hot summer day. There was no expected darkness in the cave, the torch slots on the walls were inserted with torches that were about to be extinguished, and the dim light illuminated the rugged road in front of Wei Xu, and even traces of the team could be seen on the soft road.
This is just a passage to the underground that has been dug by man, and the underground warehouse below is supposed to be connected to the stronghold, and after becoming a vampire, they only need to make some expansion on the basis of the underground warehouse.
On the other side of the cave was a small square, where the footprints had broken into small groups and spread towards several forks, where it seemed that Wilcas had ordered the division of his troops.
After throwing three thunderstorm runes around the entrance of the cave, Wei Xu made a gesture to the two scouts, and the two of them walked quietly along the two separate paths, as if they were hidden into the darkness if they didn't look closely. The two scouts brought by Wei Xu are among the top ten in the three hundred and fifty scouts, and the main purpose of Wei Xu bringing them here is to investigate. If the people brought down by Wilcas were found in an ambush, these vampires would certainly be reluctant to kill them directly, and the sturdy warriors would have used them as livestock to provide blood.
Not long after the two scouts walked away, Wei Xu saw mottled figures appear in the firelight of the passage not far away, and there was a shouting sound accompanied by the sound of clanging weapons......
