Chapter 63: The Griffin Lives Forever
Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info took a few sips of black tea, the taste of sugar and honey was a little bitter, but it was very good to relieve people's tension and thirst, put down the teacup in his hand, Colin continued
"Thanks to the sacrifices made by those fifty companions, for the first time we objectively understand how terrible the enemy we are about to face, I'm sorry to say that, but Your Highness, we were a little unimpressed when we simply listened to you before......
After Leo shook his head to indicate that it was okay, Colin's mellow baritone sounded again
"Knowing this, we don't have the urge to take revenge or do anything irrational, and of course trust us to do a lot of it! Under the leadership of Lord Saru and Aeolis, we were ready to hold the city walls, and even prepared a large amount of grease and firewood near the Imperial Palace and other important buildings to prevent accidents...... Why don't you do what you did and burn the city down completely! ”
In the silence, Leo remembered the Grey Castle, maybe this was a solution? No, he soon overturned his conclusion, if the demon would be so stupid and so easy to defeat, then he would definitely not hesitate to pay a few or even dozens of cities as a price, but it is difficult, although the demon is bloodthirsty and admires strength and killing, but as a civilized race, their intelligence is definitely not inferior to that of humans, and the simple style of doing things is just because of the crushing of his strength......
Thinking of this, Leo suddenly remembered a joke that he had argued about, why didn't dinosaurs evolve their brains for hundreds of millions of years? The most amazing answer at that time is still fresh in his memory
"If you have that kind of body, you won't be either, why do you have to have a brain just now?"
Resisting his thoughts, Leo refocused his attention while Colin's story continued
"In the battle of defending the city for more than two months, our situation has become more and more difficult, although those demons have not personally entered the battle since the beginning, but the fallen soldiers they control are still much more than our soldiers in terms of single strength, if it is a head-on battle, I am afraid that only the most elite of the human race can compete with it, although we have the city wall, but the casualties are still very large, in the case of almost life for life, the defense has become very passive and cruel!"
"I really can't help it, you are simply too dogmatic and rigid, under the premise that such a defensive advantage is not big, you should decisively send knights to attack their besieging infantry array, not to cause much damage, but as long as you can confuse the other party, you can win time to adjust, damn, the role of knights should not be on the city walls!"
Hearing this, Keith jumped out and shouted loudly in a tone of hatred that made iron but not steel, but as soon as he finished speaking, he retreated again in a depressed and angry gaze
"Lord Keith' your strength makes us very 'admire', please believe that we are not fools without brains, such a situation has been learned even in the lowest level of knight strategy and tactics courses, but if we attack, we will have to face those terrifying demon knights, the Knights of Glory are not afraid of sacrifice, but at the request of Lord Saru, in order to prepare for reinforcements from you, the humans of the imperial capital must retain a strong enough assault force!"
"Hey! If it were us Knights of Discipline, we wouldn't be afraid of these ......"
"Enough is Case!"
Having ended the possible quarrel in time, Leo asked Colin with some confusion
"That means you don't currently have the experience and experience of fighting other demons other than demon archers, Colin Knights? Another question, how many messengers have you and your companions been in for so long? ”
"Before me, there were more than ten groups of knight messengers, because they were afraid of the opponent's archers, and then most of us were in groups of two or three, taking advantage of the darkness or the interval between battles to break through, of course, there were very few lucky ones, among them, in addition to the archers, there was also a strange class of troops who also intercepted us...... Those demons resemble human infantry, their armor is light and agile compared to the other knights, and they wield swords without shields, but for us, these bastards have caused no less damage than archers! ”
Colin bit his lip desperately to control his instinct to keep his teeth chattering
"They don't have mounts but they are more agile than knights within a certain range, space and distance seem to have lost their effect on them, one moment they are still in the array, the next moment they suddenly appear beside you, when there is no reaction, the long sword has often taken your life, I still can't believe what kind of place can give birth to such a terrifying monster!"
With a long exhale, Leo spoke in a somewhat deep voice
"Then it can be determined that, like Pande, there are still these troublesome guys among the demons, demon warriors who can flash, hehe, my friends, although I don't know the approximate number yet, but I'm afraid these guys will cause great trouble for our infantry and lone knights......"
Al Andergrims, who was on the side, stood up and said with some pride when he heard this
"My lord, you know my past experience, my country has never been known for its strong cavalry, but in the war against demon aggression, it has accumulated a lot of valuable experience, these demon warriors are not without restrictions on their movement distance, about twenty meters to fifty meters, and the strong ones will not exceed a distance of 100 meters, with multi-arms of infantry to limit the siege, and then with a small number of knights to kill, although the sacrifice will still be very large, but we can deal with them......"
"Since sacrifice is inevitable, make the sacrifice of the soldiers more worthwhile, Al, I grant you the command qualifications of all champion swordsmen and the rest of the infantry in future wars, and besides, Milgan Kirik!"
"Your Command, the Griffin Knights will be the blade in your hands as always"
The head of the bearded griffin knights came out of the ranks and saluted heavily, even with the addition of Pande, I am afraid that there will be no second knight order as fanatical as they are for justice
"How many griffon warriors under my command can fight for the light now?"
Hearing Leo's question, Milgan proudly raised his head and said aloud
"Inspired by the Griffon's Sword, the Great King's Majesty, you now have a thousand knights under your command who are ready to die for you, whether against the filthy demons or the evil gods, the Knights under the Griffon's Sword are fearless!"
Nodding, Leo clenched his fists, the most unexpected reward of the lottery now gave him a reward far beyond other items, and a thousand knights equivalent to the Knights of Glory at worst were enough to cheer him up
"Very good, I can feel your sincerity, and I will divide half of my men to obey the command of Al Andergrims, after the war begins, I need your full cooperation to completely bury that group of demon warriors, be mentally prepared My friend, the sacrifice must be great!"
Stroking the smooth hoe around his waist, Milgan laughed
"The Griffin Knights were born for this purpose, so rest assured, if the Griffon's Sword lasts forever, the Knights will live forever......"
