Chapter 431: Unfortunate News (3)

A fruitless exchange ended in silence, and when morning came, the first thing that woke the city was nothing but the melodious and rapid alarm bells. The whole city almost awoke in a panic at the rapid but constant sound of bells, and the first thing that appeared on the road was no longer the people who went out to buy breakfast or got up early to beg, but the new soldiers in armor. These soldiers who had just put on the armor of the soldier had no idea what kind of situation they were about to face, but fortunately there were some veterans among them, but the number of veterans was too small compared to the huge number of recruits. The most important point is that even the veterans are veterans who have not participated in the war, and their strength and combat effectiveness are only a little stronger than those recruits.

In fact, many of these recruits and veterans are farmers who have just been recruited from the fields by the lord, and their strength is only in their twenties, even if they wear armor, they may not be able to withstand the claws of those ghouls, they are just low-level cannon fodder. But even cannon fodder is important combat power, at least they can shoot crossbow arrows with a crossbow machine, and this is enough when defending the city. As for the high-ranking soldiers above the fourth rank, the lord rushed into the reserve force, brought enough supplies and began to deploy in the western part of Sanorasser, as well as receiving the soldiers and Templars who had retreated from the front.

Those who retreated from the front were lucky, as they were followed by the Knights of the Temple. Despite the defeat of the battle, a large number of Templars kept the wounded soldiers safe, at least these soldiers who had experienced the battle did not become ghouls, and this invisibly added a large group of veterans who had experienced the war. However, no amount of veterans can compete with the Norkobi army, which has tens of thousands of ghouls, and the most desperate thing for the inhabitants of Sanorashar is that the army they had high hopes for has been defeated in the early stages, and if it is not for the protection and containment of the travelers, all the soldiers will become food for the ghouls or their kind.

Therefore, after receiving the news of the defeat in the first battle, the well-informed merchants and nobles in the city had already sent their families away. Because the lord will close the gates of the city at the first time, so that the panic does not spread, and this is obviously a little late. When Chen Kai opened the door to go out for breakfast, and then left the city for the Holy Mountain, he opened the door and saw not the innkeeper but the lord's messenger.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Honorable Lord Berkner, Your Excellency has sent me to invite you to a meeting in the castle, along with the three Knight Lords. Your Excellency hopes that you will once again gather enough traveler armies to participate in the battle to besiege the city, and if the battle is won, the Lord and the Temple will not be stingy with rewards," the messenger who knocked on the door of Chen Kai's residence handed Chen Kai an invitation card after speaking, along with the three player lords who had just woken up from their chairs and tables behind Chen Kai.

“… Okay, I'll go and participate" Chen Kai said with a sigh, he knew that his plan to leave Sanorasser had been completely interrupted, and now he could only pray that this battle would end soon, and then he could go to the Holy Mountain early. Because as time passed, he was getting closer and closer to the deadline, and it was only a little more than a month before An Luo's funeral.

After seeing that Chen Kai agreed and accepted the invitation, the messenger left respectfully. Although his strength was much stronger than Chen Kai, he estimated that he only needed one attack to defeat Chen Kai when he reached the seventh order, but that had to be without Chen Kai noticing. If Chen Kai had a sense of defense, it is estimated that he would not have been defeated so lightly, and of course Chen Kai's counterattack would not have much effect. The seventh-order Cunzài was not so easy to be killed by Chen Kai, who only had the fifth-order, and the other party was obviously an elite knight who protected the lord, and his strength was even stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.

When Chen Kai walked to the lobby of the inn, he saw the flustered merchant and the innkeeper full of sorrow, in fact, he couldn't help but worry, because the whole inn was spreading bad news. None of the merchants could leave, not only because the snow-covered roads had not melted, but also because the lord had chosen to close the entire city instead of opening the gate for people to leave. The most important thing is that he ordered all the mercenaries and professions located in the city to be recruited to form the city's defenses. This kind of conscription is the most correct method for the lord, after all, there are not enough soldiers and guardians in the entire city, and the number of ghouls in the whole Noco is increasing compared to the large number of ghouls who can turn corpses into their own kind. The most important thing is that even ordinary paupers will increase their strength by two to three times after they transform into ghouls, becoming third-order or even fourth-order beings. If it is a strong soldier or mercenary, the strength after the transformation will be even stronger, and the most powerful force of the entire ghoul is composed of those ghouls who were originally transformed into soldiers who are not comparable, and their strength is at least above the 6th rank. If it is only with the strength of those recruits in the city, it is estimated that not to mention the ghouls who have transformed into those high-ranking soldiers, just those ghouls who have changed from poor people can tear apart the entire defense line in an instant. Although humans have terrible guard weapons, no matter how good the weapons are, they must be manipulated by strong soldiers to really exert the strength of those weapons, and when a large group of recruits who have not been on the battlefield operate these weapons, it is estimated that it is not as powerful as letting a large group of players who have really killed people control these weapons.

Unfortunately, the player cannot interfere with the liege's decision, after all, the liege is more convinced to form an army from the liege's local soldiers than those who have the strength. It's not that the lord himself wants this, but the pride of being an aboriginal has to make him make such an arrangement. Of course, the most important thing is that the strength of the players in the entire territory is not strong enough, most of the players are still hovering between the third and fourth orders, and the total number of players in the fifth order is less than five hundred. For the lord, his way to distinguish strength is only based on rank, the fifth-order soldiers can only fight those ghouls, and the fourth-order can only become cannon fodder.

When Chen Kai arrived at the Lord's Mansion, the high-ranking officers and temple priests in the entire territory had already arrived. The entire territory has been gathered in the lord's palace except for the officers who died in battle and the nobles who escaped, and of course the nobles who fled have been removed by the lord for desertion. After all, what is most lacking in the entire territory is not the nobles who occupy the wealth of society, but the soldiers who can fight. Of course, it is precisely because of this that the lords of Sanorasser can have enough bounties to pay to those soldiers who have made meritorious deeds, as well as nobles who have received enough merit but have no territory.

Chen Kai, who was sitting at the back of the entire council hall, yawned, except for the first time when he greeted the knights and priests of the Dawn Temple, he had been hiding in this corner. Chen Kai didn't care at all about what they discussed, and in fact, he couldn't care about it, because the people involved in the discussion were all soldiers and teams at hand. Chen Kai is alone, basically acting as a soldier who charges into battle, and at most he is a knight captain. In fact, the lord doesn't remember what lords he invited, there are too many lords and knights in the entire council hall, and the last thing that is lacking in this world is the landless nobles. Every large commercial city gathers a large number of landless nobles who have a seal to prove their identity, but who knows where they are. It's just that there are too many such nobles, they have no land, no territory, no dependent lords, but there is no shortage of such nobles in every town. It's just that at this time, these nobles may become nouveau riche, because they can quickly pass the recognition of the lord of guò as long as they have enough strength and enough military merits, and these wandering nobles are the pawns that are systematically arranged in various cities to compete with players. They used their military exploits to prevent the rapid expansion of the player's territory, keeping the entire territory temporarily controlled by the majority of the aboriginal nobles.

"Hey, don't sleep? Who the hell are you, how can you sleep in the council hall? When Chen Kai woke up from his chair in a daze, he saw more than a dozen knights with long beards and full body armor, and of course, the presiding officer of the entire council hall, that is, the lord.

"I'm sorry I'm a traveler passing through here on my way to the Holy Mountain, but your attendant told me that I needed to attend this meeting. It's just that maybe it's because I'm too sleepy, so I accidentally fell asleep, please forgive me for the rudeness" Chen Kai was a little embarrassed, because it was really a very rude thing for him to fall asleep in the council hall. If you put aside the years of ancient knights, Chen Kai's behavior is not only a contempt for the lord, but also an act of contempt for chivalry, which can be directly removed from the knighthood and then degraded to a commoner. It's a pity that it is no longer the ancient knight era when knights are kings, so Chen Kai's behavior is rude at most, and at most he is reprimanded.

"Knights? Templars? "The lord of Sanoraser is a viscount, and behind him is a baronial nobleman, and it is clear that the entire top of Sanoraser are knights. This is not a rarity in the entire game world, after all, most lords' mansions have a lot of spellcaster classes as spell advisors, no matter how much attention is paid to knights.

"Yes, I'm really sorry, I was rude" Chen Kai was definitely very ashamed, it was quite embarrassing to be watched by such a large group of people. It's a pity that no matter how ashamed he is, he can't change the fact that he is being watched, but no matter how ashamed Chen Kai is, he has to keep his face unchanged, otherwise he will be unlucky.

"It's okay, I think you should be Lord Berkner, you are the only traveler lord in the entire territory who can give enough invitations, but your current table is not good enough, I hope you can be better on the battlefield, don't embarrass us knights," the first baron knight who stood to the left of Lord Sanorasser said, holding his long sword, his rank was very high, at least more than the eighth order. It's just that Chen Kai feels that his strength is definitely not as good as the lord who almost arrested him, and there is a big gap between the two sides in terms of momentum.

"And what is my mission?" Chen Kai raised his head and asked the lord in front of him, of course, at this time, he completely recovered his spirit, and no longer seemed sleepy. The whole spirit is a lot, at least it makes people look much more comfortable.

"Well, I'll take a look," the baron knight pulled out a long scroll from his pocket and spread it out, then searched for it. In the end, he saw Chen Kai's name, but he looked at Chen Kai's face a little strangely, and that expression was with disbelief. In the end, when Chen Kai heard his mission, his head was directly covered, because he was actually leading a swordsman regiment to guard the West City Gate.

"I would like to ask if you are mistaken, I am a Templar with a group of swordsmen guarding the city gates?" Chen Kai looked at the bearded knight in front of him in disbelief, because he really didn't believe that he heard it. Even if he was asked to become an ordinary cavalryman to charge Chen Kai, it would feel very correct, but being a swordsman commander is also an infantryman, which makes Chen Kai a little difficult to understand.

"Yes, you heard it right, because I've seen your battle history, which includes guarding the fortress-level walls for a week. This is much more powerful than those recruits, I think with your insight and strength to lead those recruits should be enough to be qualified for this position" After listening to this narrative that made Chen Kai collapse, Chen Kai really didn't know how to answer, and what made him most depressed was that he didn't know where the other party knew this information. In the end, he came to his swordsman regiment under the leadership of the lord's guards, and although he wore the armband of the swordsman leader on his arm, he still felt very dizzy when he walked into the camp. It's just that he didn't faint immediately after seeing the soldiers of the swordsman regiment, because he found that the entire swordsman regiment was actually composed of third- and fourth-order aboriginal soldiers, and there was not even a fifth-order among them.

"Okay, the ragtag army of the miscellaneous army, if this rests on the top of Zela Fortress, it will definitely be a cannon fodder army~" Chen Kai sighed and said to himself, what made him most unhappy was that these soldiers were still looking at him with a provocative expression. It's just that when he pulled out his huge glow blade from his backpack and stuck it on the ground, every provocation turned into silence.

"Well, remember, I'm your head from now on. My request to you is simple, try to save your life in battle. As for what kind of military merit rewards and so on, let's talk about it when you survive," Chen Kai left after finishing speaking, and it was naturally not his turn to take care of the army's training, because there were officers in the entire camp who specialized in training non-commissioned officers.

Walking down the street with his giant sword on his shoulder, Chen Kai's mood was definitely complicated. He wasn't thinking about earning military merit or bounties, but about how to survive the attacks of those ghouls. for he was guarding the gates, and not the walls of the gates. Generally, it is not Chen Kai's turn to use the catapult and the like, and those who have special soldiers to operate. The swordsman's only role is to engage the ghouls in melee combat after they climb the walls, and the casualties of the soldiers are definitely the heaviest. The armor of ordinary soldiers definitely can't stop the sharp claws of those ghouls, because the lord only allocates ordinary chain mail and long swords to the soldiers, and it is not the standard armor configured by the emperor ** team at all. Of course, it's not that the lord doesn't spend money, but even if the lord spends money, it is impossible to raise so much standard armor in a short period of time. Sannoraser is not the imperial capital, there is no imperial ** reserve dedicated to storing standard armor, some are just ordinary weapons arsenals and are prepared by the lord himself.

"Hey, it's really troublesome to bring this group of self-righteous cannon fodder, I hope there will be enough supplies in the temple, otherwise I don't know how many people will become ghouls after death," Chen Kai sighed and walked towards the temple area located in the western part of the town, where a large number of poor people were now gathered. In fact, the temple area is supposed to be the closest to the battle area, but because the temple is the largest gathering of poor people in the entire area, and the guards are the most well-guarded, it is now gradually becoming crowded. Chen Kai almost finally relied on his strong body to squeeze into the temple from among the large number of poor people, if it wasn't for the armor being hard enough, it is estimated that Chen Kai would really not be able to squeeze in.

"You're here" When Chen Kai walked into the sacrificial hall of the Dawn Temple, the high priest of the temple who was presiding over the prayer ceremony nodded towards him, and then motioned to the auxiliary priests on the side to help him preside over the ceremony. Then he held the scepter and Chen Kai and slowly walked to the priest's hall, where Chen Kai could see the upper echelons of the Sanoraser Temple.

"I know why you came here, and we are all saddened by the passing of Knight Anluo, but I hope that you can continue to fight here until you dispel those evils and then continue to the Holy Mountain, and I will help you apply for the opening of the portal to the Holy Mountain, so that you can get there as soon as possible! However, I have no way to meet your request for supplies, the temple does not have many reserves in Sanorasse, even if I work overtime to make holy water now, it will not be able to completely meet the needs of the battle, I can only send you five high priests, I hope to be able to help you" In fact, Chen Kai was listening all the way, and the high priest spoke alone. Until the priest hall, Chen Kai didn't have any chance to interject, as for whether those high priests were aborigines or players, it was not for Chen Kai to control, even if five player priests were really stuffed in, Chen Kai had no way to refuse. Of course, it is generally not the player priest who is crammed in, but more likely the aboriginal priest who has lived in the temple for a long time and has many magical abilities, and only such a priest can cure the ghoul's corpse poison.
