Chapter 1146: Black belly
The road from Konoha City to the Great Panic Swamp is not as difficult to walk as the Great Wilderness Swamp, and even ordinary knights with only second-level mounts have a high probability of escaping in this terrain, but those civilians are a big problem.....
Although Guo Lang's teleportation point can greatly improve the escape rate of elite soldiers and cavalry in the city, it is obviously difficult for ordinary civilians to escape, even if they are equipped with horses for infantry, it is obviously impossible to equip civilians with horses!
Suddenly.... Everyone struggled again.
At this time, Guo Lang didn't open his mouth, this kind of wicked person, he can't be a villain, anyway, his own method has been proposed, how to decide is your business, he is not interested in this kind of thing.....
After staring at each other for a long time, the city lord had no choice but to stand up and say, "In this way, all the horses above the second level in the city will be counted, and the knights and nobles will be given priority, then the soldiers, and the remaining civilians...... Just ..... on foot."
"I'm against it!!"
Just as the heavy Black Cauldron City Lord was about to carry it himself, an extremely discordant voice sounded again, and everyone frowned and looked over, and what they saw was the yellow-haired knight who had been healed of his injuries through the holy light: Meliodas had entered the council hall of this castle with the support of a group of knights!
That's a lot of things!
Everyone's eyes are not good, and there is an urge to slip his slippers and smoke his Y!
"Forgive me for not agreeing with the city lord's decision!"
The city lord's face sank slightly, and he said gloomily, "What does the knight of Meliodas mean?" ”
"The creed of a knight is justice, valor, mercy, sacrifice!" Meliodas said righteously, "And what are you doing? Giving priority to the aristocracy for their lives? But regardless of the lives of the civilians, are not your silver hands called the shields that defend the homeland? What is it to abandon your people and flee to the Night Elves like this? ”
"And you!" Ignoring the gloomy faces of the crowd, Meliodas continued to point impassionedly at the many cavalrymen outside and said, "Aren't your families, children, and wives in this city? Aren't they among the common people? Are you going to forsake even your wives and children? ”
The soldiers outside were all stunned when they heard this, and then they all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to raise their heads in the impassioned reprimand of our Meliodas, including many noble knights, although their faces were gloomy, but at this moment they had a feeling that they could not refute.
"I don't think that'..... right."
Just when the situation was deadlocked, Guo Lang's voice appeared again, which made both the righteous Meliodas and those senior knights with gloomy faces stunned, they didn't expect Guo Lang to say this!
Looking at everyone's expressions, Guo Lang smiled slightly, and said softly: "I don't recommend traveling with civilians with us, they don't have mounts, such a large flow of people will definitely attract the attention of those monsters, and it is impossible not to catch up....."
"What do you mean?" The city lord was a little inexplicable, because this proposal to break through was originally put forward by the other party, and at this time, what does it mean to say this kind of thing?
"I mean, civilians or soldiers who don't have mounts, don't follow and stay in Konoha City!"
"What!" The people around were stunned, this proposal.... Actually, it's good, but it's very inhumane, it's equivalent to abandoning the people directly, originally according to what they thought, taking the civilians together, holding some luck in their hearts, if they are really caught up by monsters, they have to abandon the civilians, and in the future, in the literature, they will also do their best, and they will not leave too much bad name, but if according to what Guo Lang said, they will directly abandon these people and leave, then they will be recorded later!
"Sure enough..... If it is not of my race, its heart will be different. Meliodas sneered!
"I'm not saying abandon them!" Guo Lang saluted slightly.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean..... In order to preserve the fire, some elite knights, griffins and vulture trainers in Konoha City are evacuated first, after all, these things are important strategic resources in the alliance, and we can't let them fold here, and it is naturally impossible to abandon the people, so I suggest that Lord Meliodas lead a group of elite guards to stay in Konoha City, and wait for us to go to the dark night to ask for help, and speed up the progress of the dark night high-level, so that the possibility of being rescued is also higher! ”
"Makes sense!" Everyone nodded!
Makes sense,! Meliodas turned pale with anger!
His original intention was to let the nobles allocate a group of horses and distribute them to the people in the name of justice, and the distribution power, of course, was distributed by him, the person who had just spoken righteously, so that he could win a group of people's hearts at that time, and then he could give priority to his subordinates' personal guards, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
But he never thought of staying with this group of dead people and waiting for death!
"What do you think? Meliodas Knight! The city lord looked at each other with a smile, and his smile at this time made people feel like a beast with bad intentions, which made people's hearts tremble....
"This ....." Meliodas swallowed and said with some appetite, "I... Such a task is too big for me to handle....."
"You're humble!" Rosen, who had been silent, smiled and said: "From your words just now, I see the true quality of a knight, that is irreplaceable things, that kind of belief will make you extremely strong, young man, you have to believe in the sword in your hand and the glory of the knight!" ”
"I ......"
The faces of the group suddenly became strange, they didn't expect that Lawson, who had always been old-fashioned, would be so black-bellied, and such shameless words could be spoken?
"Alright, that's it!" The city lord said with a final word: "Your Excellency Meliodas and the elite knights under him will stay in Konoha City, I will entrust you with all the city defense and troop command, please be sure to protect our people.... Be sure to stick around until we come back! ”
Nima ...... Meliodas had an expression of eating shit, but he couldn't say anything to refute it, he saw the sneering eyes of everyone, if he went back on his word and ruined the image of the righteous words just now, these old rascals might pull out their knives and cut themselves at the first time!
"Alright, take an inventory of the soldiers and horses, bring all the surviving juvenile griffons and griffin eggs, and the lion trainers in the city will also bring them, the high knights and lion trainers will be equipped with third-class mounts, and they will be allowed to bring a family member, and the rest of the nobles will be equipped with second-class horses, and if they can't ride horses, they will stay in the city."
Everyone: "Yes! ”
As the order was issued, Feng Xing looked at each other's expressions inexplicably, and they were not stupid, of course they knew what these young griffins and vulture trainers represented when they arrived in the dark night.... The griffin that has been coveted by the Fengxing family for many years has been delivered to the door like this?
