Chapter 232. Spanish spearmen
In the young priest's eyes, in the dark tunnels of the silver mines, there was indeed an endless evil, and a sense of disgust from the devout faith. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The black mist was entrenched in the tunnel, and the traces of the collapse could still show a little bit of the pit, but even in the depths where there was no sunlight, the black mist slowly swirled as if it had its own consciousness, as if it wanted to devour any creature that dared to enter the pit.
"Portal."
Levi's eyes narrowed slightly, he slowly cleaned the flintlock pistol in his hand, refilled it with gunpowder and lead bullet, lowered his head and asked softly, "Can you solve it?" ”
"With God's power, I want to be able to barely suppress this tunnel."
The young priest pondered for a moment, and instead of answering immediately, he stared at the black mist that was still permeating the mouth of the silver pit and tunnel, and chose to tell the truth: "The darkness inside is incomparably thick, and it contains hellish evil, and my apprentices and I cannot solve this problem permanently. ”
After loading the flintlock pistol in his hand, Levi's eyes were also a little solemn, and he put it back in his pocket, and nodded lightly: "I will arrange for troops to come over and assist you in defense." ”
"Your Majesty, now that the threat from Grey Mist is looming, we don't have enough troops to divide them."
But Green behind him also spoke slowly, his face was equally solemn, holding the standard cavalry sword in his hand, as a cabinet minister, he also knew very well the current situation in Cape Town, or a little tense situation.
The fortifications of Cape Town are convenient, but they also need a large number of town militia to defend, and rashly dividing a force over is a kind of destruction to the overall defense system, after all, as the defender, the Cape Town where they are located is passive compared to the nobles in the Gray Mist City.
"It's okay, just recruit an extra troop, wouldn't it?"
With a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the tunnel of the small silver pit, the skeletons all over the ground also made him lick the corners of his mouth subconsciously, and nodded lightly: "At least one of our troops, but a good guy for defense." ”
Green's eyes were also slightly abrupt, and he instantly remembered a class of troops that could be recruited, and he nodded reassuringly: "If those spearmen come to garrison, maybe it can really be." ”
"They're great."
Levi also smiled and nodded, the current types of troops that can be recruited in the Sheriff's Mansion are spearmen, town militia and 24-pounder light cannons, although they are rudimentary, they are also basic army combat units.
The town militia and the 24-pounder light cannon are currently the most needed in the fortifications of Cape Town, even if there are extra points to recruit, Levi is reluctant to let these two troops come here to garrison, after all, the threat of Gray Mist City is the most direct, this group of fragile skeleton warriors, even ordinary town citizens with a logging axe can deal with it.
But just in case, it is necessary to recruit a professional, trained army force, and that is the spearmen, a group of infantry armed with spears of more than three meters, standing like a tree!
The tip of the spear of more than three meters is nearly half a meter, all wrapped in iron sheets, and the sharp wrought iron spear tip at the top can pierce everything, at least for this group of skeleton warriors who have no so-called tactics, the spearmen who are lined up in a phalanx of spears can easily block the mouth of this tunnel and stab ordinary skeletons and undead into bones all over the ground.
"The most important point is that the recruitment cost of the Spanish spearmen is only 200 energy points."
After touching the work, Levi looked at the energy value he had just harvested, plus the bronze-level skeleton warrior, which had just passed 200 points, and couldn't help but smile, and quickly gave an order to recruit in his mind.
As the energy value disappeared, the golden card had already appeared in Levi's mind, and the Spanish spearman wearing a light orange military uniform was extremely energetic, and the spear in his hand could not even be fully presented, and he could only see a long spear shaft in his hand.
"Spanish Spearmen (Recruitment Cost: 200 points): The spearmen used weapons similar to those used in Alexander's time for a long time, and although gunpowder weapons have played a leading role in the arena of warfare, spear-wielding combat is far more gentlemanly than sneak fire with muskets. Standing tall among the shiny clusters of spears, spearmen can shock the enemy, especially in close combat, and are effective against cavalry assaults. ”
"Since nations do not yet have the financial resources to equip all their troops with muskets, it is better for soldiers to use the spear, an obsolete and cheap weapon that is easy to manufacture, than to fight with their bare hands. However, in the early eighteenth century, with the formation of bayonets and hollow phalanxes, the ancient spearmen had lost their value, and perhaps in remote areas, they could still be garrisoned to maintain the honor of the empire, symbolizing the sovereignty of the empire. ”
Slowly stretching out his hand, the corners of Levi's mouth also carried that smile, and the golden card disappeared with his thoughts turning into gold dust in an instant, but the data stream immediately appeared in his palm and appeared in front of him.
"Come out, my warriors."
With Levi's voice, one hundred and twenty Spanish spearmen armed with spears also appeared in a neat line, the dense spears were like seedlings in the woods, but the cold light at the top had an unconcealable murderous aura, which seemed to bring people into the sharp Middle Ages.
In the past, the army of the Spanish Empire invented the Spanish invincible phalanx, which used the cooperation of spearmen and musketeers to expel the Ottoman forces from the southern tip of the Iliban Peninsula, opening the glory of the first generation of the empire on which the sun never sets!
"Hail to you, great Son of God, Holy Messiah, bell from heaven!"
A uniform call appeared in the mouths of the one hundred and twenty Spanish spearmen, who stood in a neat formation beside the cross, each of them as if they understood their mission, and all of them were almost excited.
The fight against evil is the great cause of any Catholic, and the purification of evil creatures is the salvation of oneself, as well as devotion to God and the desire for heaven.
"May God bless us and bring us the way forward."
The young priest also nodded with satisfaction at these Spanish spearmen with medieval afterglow, stretched out his hand to draw a cross on his chest, and exhaled a little, and said to Levi: "If there is their help, I think that under the power of God, there will be no great turmoil in this area in a short time." ”
"I'll fix most of the things in a week." Looking at the spearmen with resolute faces, Levi also nodded secretly, compared to the town militia, this group of spearmen can already be called a regular army.
It's just that the spears in their hands have completely lost the honor of this group of spearmen, because when firearms are prevalent, the spears that move slowly and have no obvious lethal effect have also entered the final stage, except for acting as a shield wall to prevent the enemy's cavalry from attacking in some weak armies, it has not played much role at all.
"But it should be easy to stop that group of skeletons."
Licking his lips, Levi also exhaled, after all, the undead undead skeletons, not fast movements also made him see clearly, especially the flintlock salvo that easily crushed them, and also knew that these skeletons were just like in the literature of the previous life, it was estimated that they were all cannon fodder-level troops.
Just now, a platoon of thirty town militia fired a tactical salvo, and the power of the lead bullet pierced the bones that should have been rotten, and at least one salvo shot twenty or thirty skeleton soldiers into a pile of skeletons, which was extremely easy!
Now, after forming a phalanx of spears, blocking in front of the tunnel of the silver pit, ordinary skeleton soldiers are about to be stabbed by the sharp spears when they come over, even if the bronze-level skeleton warrior appears, this priest with mysterious power can solve it, at least this kind of positive energy holy flame seems to be very restrained by the evil black mist.
"Pastor, what's your name?"
Levi turned his head to look at the young priest next to him, this young man who has mastered the power of local magic, but the object of his future training, if possible, he even wants to master this energy himself, after all, the power of magic will never make people feel useless.
However, with Levi's words, the young priest's face was solemn, he took a step back slightly, stroked his chest and bowed respectfully: "From the Spanish Capital Seminary, pious Zachari, greetings to you, Your Majesty the King." ”
"Pious Zachari?"
Repeating this sentence slightly, Levi looked at the young man, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Zachari, now you are in charge of this church and this spearmen." ”
"Understand, Your Majesty, your orders are from God's will."
Zachari bowed his head very reverently, and his attitude towards Levi became more and more respectful, as if the will from God had come to his heart, so that he chose to believe in Levi unconditionally, as if he believed in the most admired teacher in his heart, or worshiped God.
But just as Levi was arranging the defense of the area of the silver pit, two town militiamen ran out of breath in the direction of Cape Town, and the expressions on their faces were also extremely solemn.
Before he could reach Levi's side, one of them gasped for breath, and finally smoothed out the breath in his mouth, and then quickly pointed in the direction of Cape Town, and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, Lord Hall has asked us to inform you, enemy, enemy is coming!" ”
