Chapter 10: Reinforcements (1)
"Sometimes, it's really strange why so many poems and works can be so bloody...... Graceful? Or is it beautiful? However, when I saw such a terrible scene for the first time, the cry of human beings before death, the smell of blood, the sound of broken bones and incomplete internal organs, why did I only feel dizzy in front of my eyes? But luckily, I'm glad I was able to hold back my vomiting, not because I was brave, but because I knew that in that case, the visor would hold my breath in the air......"
- Leo Chang
So Sean, as the owner of the Great Knights of Punishment, the ruler of Stormwind, and the benevolent and wise Grand Duke of Stormwind, Leo Chang, I ask you with my mercy if your poor, deplorable, and dangerous baron needs some crucial help from me here? ”
As Leo's words fell, Sean, who was standing below waiting for the drop, couldn't help but feel a thrill, of course, this was definitely not a manifestation of Leo's tone, but such a sentence was undoubtedly the best shot in the arm for Sean's despair
His recklessness led to uncertainty about life and death, not to mention taking the wrong route to ask for help, even if this adult was merciful and forgave himself for the sin of the collision, it was estimated that the baron's castle would be difficult to hold out until he took a detour again to ask for help
What's more, Sean even forgot about the knight who was staring at him behind his back, and raised his head impolitely, muttering to himself with trembling lips
"God, Duke ~ Duke ~ ~ Duke ~ Duke? Is this lord really a duke? ”
"Bastard!" Sean's actions made the knight behind him feel deeply insulted, and the scabbard slammed into the crook of the opponent's leg, reaching out and pressing his shoulder to make Sean kneel on the ground. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that at this time, Sean seems to be completely unconscious of the outside world, just stumbling in his mouth and constantly muttering, "God!" "Oh my God" and other interjections, and it took a long time for Sean, who was a little calm, to find the key to Leo's words from his mind
Walking a few steps on his knees, his voice was full of surprise and joy, and he asked hoarsely, "My lord, do you mean that you are willing to show your mercy and send troops to rescue us?" ”
Reaching out to stop the knight who was still going to teach Sean a lesson, Leo leaned back in his chair and supported his chin with one hand, and played with the silver wine glass in his hand with the other, looking at Sean and nodding with a smile
"As you say, a soldier, a benevolent nobleman, would never allow himself to refuse to lend a helping hand to another equally noble man, and now, would you like to give me a general description of who the enemies who surrounded the Baron's Castle were?"
"Let him get up, my knight, I think he's just a wretched wretch!" Oh, and by the way, can you hand him a glass of ale? I need him to be calm enough before he speaks. ”
Holding half a glass of ale in his hand, Sean bowed gratefully to Leo before he raised his head and drank it all, gently handed the glass back to the knight behind him, wiped the foam on the corner of his mouth, and felt that he had calmed down a lot, and then narrated in a calm tone, "Merciful adults, they are the ...... of the rebels"
Including Leo, all the knights listened quietly to Sean's narration, and in his mouth, this plane was also full of the same chaos as the Middle Ages on Earth, except for the robbers who were more than cow hair, the legendary barbarians, and then the rebel army.
The formation of the rebel army is more complicated, partly due to the bankruptcy of the recruited lords and the inability to pay salaries, which leads to army rebellions, and more importantly, the composition of soldiers who have been scattered in the continuous wars on the mainland, and even a very small number of former knights who have been sentenced or stripped of their status.
These people gradually came together through wandering, and according to the principle of the big fish eating the small fish, a leader was born, who roamed all day long, without doing any work, and wandered around the mainland, robbing caravans and raiding villages
When the scale reached a certain point, the rebels even dared to take the initiative to attack the regular army, or, as they are now, besiege the castle of a baron, and it was learned from Sean's mouth that the leader of this large rebel army was a rebellious former knight, who was banished and wanted for violating the daughter of a certain magnate.
"There are probably more than five hundred of them, and as for the renegade knight, judging by a knight in the baron's mansion, according to the patterns on his weapons and armor, it should be from a count's purple and gold flower knights." Sean detailed what he knew.
After listening to Sean's narration, Leo's fingers unconsciously tapped on the armrests of the chair, and everyone including Sean knew that the adults were thinking, and the surroundings became quiet......
After a while, Leo finally confirmed, "Then Sean, can you be sure that the Baron will be able to hold out to our rescue, after all, you just mentioned that this place is about 50 kilometers away from the Barony, and I don't want to wait for us to see only the burning castle and the corpses of the poor Baron's family hanging from the trees." ”
"No, merciful lord, forgive me for my rudeness, the Baron will hold out until our arrival, and in the castle the Baron has a full 70 sword, shield, and axe warriors like me, and 30 archers
The baron himself also has good swordsmanship, not to mention the help of three powerful knights" But after finishing speaking, Sean looked at the smiling faces of the people around him, and only then did he understand, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised
In front of a Grand Duke with so many powerful knights around, talking about his Baron's ridiculous armament, yes, it's ridiculous, Sean insisted that the word was not wrong, it was a little overwhelming.
Licking his lips that had spoken too much and were a little dry, Sean added with some embarrassment, "Of course, my lord, compared to you, who have such a powerful knight's benevolence, the Baron's armament may be very pitiful, but these rebels are only better than armed civilians, I think, Lord Baron is enough to support the arrival of reinforcements." ”
Leo, who had enough news, didn't talk nonsense, stood up directly, first looked around at the people who were waiting for orders, and then ordered, "Change someone to see this person, don't let him do any tricks, Finn, you are responsible for arranging manpower, and send someone to inform Anthony to come back, I want everyone to be fully armed." ”
After saying that, Fin and Keith, who beat their chests and received their orders, bowed slightly, and Leo glanced at Sean, and strode upstairs to his room without looking back
As a lord, a warlord with the Knights of Punishment, he had more than enough reason to side with his knights, and Leo was in dire need of more news from the Baron Lester Crest.
After more than ten minutes, Leo, who already had experience, with the help of the system, quickly put on the best paladin armor this time, carefully buckled the paladin's sword around his waist, pulled the shield of the same name with one hand and hung it on his back, held the helmet in his left hand, and shook the bright red cloak back with his right hand, Leo strode back to the hall.
The previous noisy hall had also quieted down at this time, only Finn was wearing the same helmet in one hand, waiting quietly for himself, presumably the other knights were already ready outside the door, nodded to Finn, and Leo took the lead out of the lord's mansion in his company.
Looking at the knights who had already quietly lined up outside the door, all riding on unicorns, Leo felt a sense of pride in his chest, and at the same time, Finn explained softly in his ear
"My lord, for the sake of your safety, I have assigned 50 Knights of Punishment to accompany you, Keith and I will also be by your side, and the rest of the team will have Anthony to command the defense of our city without accidents."
Hearing this, Leo couldn't help but be stunned, according to what Finn said, in the face of 500 enemies, only half of the punishment knights were dispatched, or because they followed themselves, so if they only acted on their own, how much would it take? 30 pcs? 20 pcs? Or is 10 enough?
Nodding to Anthony, who was sure to be left behind, Leo raised his arm and swung it down in the light of the layers of torches and the gaze of countless eyes
"Raise my banner and polish your weapons, and for the first time this continent will tremble at the presence of the Knights of Punishment!! Let's go! Knights of Punishment! With that, he buckled up his helmet and pulled down his armor heavily.
"For the sake of honor!" The high-minded answer was passed out neatly, and then 50 knights, including Fein and others, also put on their helmets at the same time, and the first one held high the flag with the Leo family crest, and everyone followed behind Leo firmly.
