Chapter 037: The Coming of War
The hardest thing for a human being to endure is pity, especially when he deserves the mercy of others.
When Duan Xiaorou told each other about her and Yang Jiangong's past, Catherine's gaze at her gradually began to change. Duan Xiaorou also confessed to telling Catherine a secret that even Yang Jiangong didn't know.
"Due to the limitations of the Great Glory Space, I can't live forever. Even taking the elixir is useless, and one day, I will grow old and even die. And until now, I don't know how to explain this fact to him. So, I am very happy with your deposit, because I know that one day you will soothe his sadness in my place. ”
On some levels of affection, a woman's heart is connected. Catherine stared at Duan Xiaorou's face sadly, and had an epiphany in her heart, it turned out that the most painful pain in the world was, "One day I will leave." ”
I remember that a long time ago, Catherine had heard people often say that there was only war between women and nothing else. If you see two women hugging on the street, you must think that there is something wrong with these two women.
But today it's incredible.
The two women stretched out their hands and hugged each other out of gratitude to each other. Grateful to the other party for giving her a chance to love someone, Catherine does not deny that she is selfish, but at this moment, her heart is praising and appreciating her without exaggeration.
…………………………
The first rule of knighthood is obedience.
Needless to say, this faithful obedience overrode the work ethic of a knight.
"The young and strong women remained, and the old and weak women and children were all killed. We can't leave anything for ogres and werewolves. ”
Commanding this powerful professional legion, Achilles unswervingly carried out the orders of King Lorkadan, raiding and plundering the town of Agate River, Black Hill, the third town of Greenland, and less than 20 villages on the south bank.
"Don't be soft, soldiers of the Glorious Legion. Rather than leaving these people to feed werewolves and ogres, burning them is a relief and mercy. ”
Achilles' face was full of indifference, and he led the Knights to urge each brigade to be extremely nimble.
The burning town buildings smelled of burnt corpses, and it was pungent.
In front of Achilles' eyes, the gold coins filled with hundreds of pack carts were more than enough to compensate for the pressure on Lol Cardin's finances. And there were many more supplies, weapons, and thousands of young and strong slaves behind the convoy, which were constantly being transported to Lorkadan.
The lords and nobles of the Camelot Kingdom and the ministers of the royal palace are probably full of shock at this moment, and they are gathering troops to suppress the rebellion of 'Lorkadan'. But Achilles knew that before King Camelot's ** team arrived, ogres and werewolves would come first. He had received news from the scouts that the Forest of Thorns had gathered as many alien armies as the tide.
"Let's go, the next target is Snowline City in the Kingdom of Alexandre. That stupid and greedy Marquis Garvey, he is a fat pig with oil and water. ”
Just as Achilles led the Knights, and 3 teams of Radiant Swordsmen, to rush to the last target.
Yang Jiangong had already received a large amount of wealth and materials from the looting of Tongguò.
"In Bahrain, every man over the age of fifteen must hand out weapons and join in the defense of the town. All voices of doubt and dissatisfaction should be eliminated. In particular, the guild merchants requisitioned their guards and goods and killed them, and if the human world still existed after the war, sue the guilds behind them, all of whom died for the invasion of the region. ”
Yang Jiangong once again explained to Bahrain the meaning of the 'war mobilization order' was cold. When he was done, he ordered the grain officer to deliver enough grain for the ice fortress on the hills. Behringer and 3 brigades of 900 glorious soldiers were stationed at the fortress, and they would face the first and most ferocious assault of the enemy.
"Zheng Qing, Huang Yizhou, you bring Zheng Minyu and Shen Sijing. Follow the grain truck to the Ice Fortress. It would be safer there than staying in the town of Lol Cardin. I suspect that the enemy will not be able to take the fortress, and will definitely aim all his forces at the town of Lol Cardan, and I may not be able to take care of you when the time comes. ”
Yang Jiangong made what he thought was the most appropriate arrangement for the four reincarnators.
But Huang Yizhou obviously didn't want to leave, "Team Yang, I'm not a woman." And I already have a first-order offensive class, which can be regarded as a qualified professional swordsman. You treated me like a soldier and let me stay. I used to figure out guò death to escape, but from the moment I became a reincarnation, it was no longer possible for me to escape. ”
Huang Yizhou has his own pursuits, and Yang Jiangong has no reason to deny this. After all, what Huang Yizhou said is very reasonable.
"Brother Yang, I ...... too"
"Zheng Qing, I know you want to stay too, but I'm your captain, and I want you to protect the two of them from avoiding." Yang Jiangong's decision made Zheng Qing swallow back what he had just said.
For the next three days, Yiqiē was busy and intense. The town of Lol Cardin not only strengthened its defenses around the town, but also prepared for street fighting.
Achilles led the Knights, and 3 brigades with the wealth and materials that plundered Snow Line City, basically just stepped into Lorkadan on the front foot, and the alien army in the Thorn Forest arrived on the back foot.
Knock, knock, knock......
Similar to the sound of war drums, mixed with the sound of neat steps, a terrible roar was heard from the whole land, and the earth shook with it.
It was like a terrible earthquake that struck, as if it was shaking up and down and left and right with the earth.
"Keeping justice and courage in your bosom will enable you to overcome your fears and gain inexhaustible strength......," Bahrain's voice fell on the ears of many around you, allowing them to overcome their fears.
The whole army of Lol Cardin was armed, and the number of people who took up arms reached 20,000. But the number of enemies, with an overwhelming advantage.
When the ogre and werewolf alliance came together with a particularly loud trumpet sound blowing through the wind. For a moment, the heat over Lol Cardin, as if the air had condensed, suddenly fell silent.
The alien army didn't even glance at the Ice Fortress on the hills, and headed straight for the town of Lorkadan.
"Human blood exudes a magical power and vitality all the time. It was your human blood that brought our race through that remarkable process of transformation. ”
The old skin, the weather-beaten face, the wrinkles, and the opening of the mouth drove these wrinkles to twist into hideous lines.
The old ogre no longer had a tooth in his mouth. In a pair of eyes, blown by the wind, the eyes are deeply sunken inward. Skinny, with skin and bones on his hands and high cheekbones on his face. From his white bloodshot pupils, his ferocity, his bloodthirstiness, his evil, no less than those hideous 'beasts'.
With the consent of the werewolf.
But seeing that it had come to a position at the mercy of the Lol Cardin militia, with some kind of threatening purpose, it continued to say loudly, "............ The ogres have joined the orcs, and you humans are about to be destroyed and enslaved. Whether it is aristocrats, commoners, the elderly, women and children, they have all become the food on the plate of our clan. Humans of the town of Lorkadan, I say one last word before I order the destruction of this town......"
At the last moment, under his pale face, those green tendons seemed to be countless worms crawling on his face.
And this scream, surprisingly loud.
"Put down your weapons and run! - Run away, the faster you run, the better! ”
As soon as the other party's words fell, the sky turned into a gloomy child, and his gray face gradually sank, replaced by a heavy gray black, and there was a hideous giant face in it.
Many of the Lol Cardin militiamen who had just taken up arms were so frightened by the sudden sound that they couldn't hold on, and some of them were so timid that they even dropped their weapons on the ground.
At this moment, almost all the ogres and werewolves opened their bloody mouths, revealing neat and sharp teeth, and let out a savage war cry.
"Woo woo It's like the tinkling of pots and pans.
The werewolf's morale also rose at the speed of the wind, and Lol Cardin's militia cowered, holding the weapons in their hands and retreating with trembling steps. With the exception of the all-class Legion of Radiance, these armed civilian slaves looked vulnerable.
