Chapter 277: Morale, Military Morale, Public Opinion, and People's Hearts

Guardhouse.

Shortly after the Red Dragon left, a group of villagers, escorted by a small group of cavalry, walked here.

The cavalry were just ordinary guards, no more than level 20, and they looked panicked and confused when they saw the burning ruins of the guards.

As for the more than 300 villagers behind them, they were even more unbearable, talking and muttering in a panic, and a few villagers ran to their village chief, proposing to go back to the mountains near the village to hide.

"Ridiculous!" The middle-aged village chief scolded: "If you don't go to Unicorn Town, as long as a team of monsters appears, we will lose a lot!" Go to the jungle of the third year of high school, you may still be alive in the prime of life, what about the children and the elderly? ”

"So what should we do?" The villagers asked in annoyance.

The middle-aged village chief shook his head and said in distress: "Even the cavalry masters are confused, what do I, a peasant soldier, know?" ”

"Alas!"

A soft sigh came out of the village chief's mouth.

The small group of cavalry, however, was in a state of confusion after whispering and making a decision.

During this time, two or three groups of migratory teams arrived under the escort of cavalry, and suddenly the number of villagers near the entire guard post reached 1,000, and the number of cavalry also exceeded 100.

One hundred cavalry, this is already a considerable military force, but what makes these cavalry extremely confused is that they can't find the direction, let alone how to choose next.

A cavalry captain proposed to abandon the villagers and go to Unicorn Town, but this proposal was immediately rejected by most of the cavalry captains, they were all guards, if they did not take the villagers, they would go back to Unicorn Town, and they would definitely be punished by military law.

The cavalry captain, who offered to take his team to Unicorn Town, was also rejected after the proposal was made.

There is no main army of the guardhouse, let alone unified command, and the cavalry captains are pigs, and they can understand that this is completely sending the villagers to feed the monsters! Once attacked, these cavalry have no power to protect these thousands of villagers!

"God, what should we do?"

Aberkeley, an old cavalryman from Sky City, has been doing this for 30 years, and he has experienced monster tides no less than 20 times, but not once, he feels so helpless.

The guard post, which was used as a supply point and a concentration of troops, was destroyed! God, how does this make him deal with himself?

"Aberkeley!" A young cavalryman ran over again, slapped the old cavalryman and shouted: "A large contingent has come from the northeast, at least about 600 people!" ”

"600 people?" Abrakley muttered, "The nearby villages are not such big villages, could it be that the two villages are combined?" Wrong...... That direction is the direction of adventurers! ”

"Yes." The young cavalry nodded slightly: "It's the place where those adventurers went, I didn't expect them to complete the task and bring so many villagers." ”

"But what can be done about it? The guard post has been destroyed, and we have no direction......"

Aberkeley shook his head, looking at the thousands of confused villagers around him, his heart tightened slightly, and he had a trace of his own decision.

Perhaps, I can take some of the villagers to the unicorn town? Even if it's a long road, it's better than wasting time here!

Lin Han and the Divine Grace mercenaries came here, and after meeting with the cavalry and the villagers, Lin Han deliberately asked the village chief to communicate the current situation.

Faced with the current situation of the destruction of the guards, the villagers under Lin Han were also terrified, and this feeling of losing the original script arrangement made them extremely uncomfortable and overwhelmed.

People, when they are panicked and overwhelmed, will look forward to a hero who can appear and do what they all want but dare not do, and find a way out for everyone.

And Lin Han's heroic performance and aristocratic status played a huge role in it.

With the mouth of the people of Heiniu Village, more and more villagers and even those cavalrymen knew Lin Han's identity and his powerful force.

And after learning that those mercenaries were Lin Han's subordinates, it was Aberkeley, and after getting closer, he was surprised by the high quality of Chen Yuan and the others.

When Aberkeley looked at Wang Ping and Bai Ziwei, his eyes couldn't help but be dull, his lips opened slightly, and he looked a little overwhelmed: "What...... How is that possible? ”

"What do you see, Aberkeley?" The young cavalryman had been following Aberkeley, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I saw two noble and strong men, one was the Shining Knight and the other was the Diamond Dragon Warrior, both of them were great professionals with glorious traditions, and they were the nobles of all armies!"

"They will actually become the subordinates of His Highness Lin Han, I ...... How can you not sigh! ”

"Lord!" The young cavalryman's expression was shocked, his body couldn't help but stiffen, and his face was full of incredulity: "It's actually a lord!" ”

"Adventurers, there are lord-level professionals!"

Such news quickly spread among the villagers and the army as Lin Han deliberately let Wang Ping and Bai Ziwei stand on the high hillside.

Feeling that the time had come, Lin Han turned on the chilling cicada sorrow song, and with the sound of music that made the heart tremble, the voices that were still chaotic in the uneasiness suddenly quieted down.

"Roar!"

Lin Han summoned the metal dragon Xiaoyin, and deliberately made it huge before slowly leaning over and surrendering at his feet.

The oblique sunlight shone brightly, reflecting the dragon leaning over and the masked king who made the arrogant dragon have to surrender, accompanied by the majestic and indescribable king's aura with Lin Han's every move inadvertently spread, and the villagers and troops gathered at the bottom of the hillside raised their heads one after another, their eyes looked at Lin Han with three points of awe, and seven points of surprise.

"Me!"

Lin Han opened his mouth to speak, although he was not deliberately pretentious, but he didn't even pay attention to himself, with the will of the king on the earth, after seeing the deep black eyes of the emperor of the heavenly capital, his every move, his tone and temperament, were imperceptibly and imperceptibly closer and closer to the arrogant emperor in his memory!

"It's the nobles of Sky City!"

"It's the lord of the Sanctuary City!"

"City Lord?" Aberkeley was surprised, and quickly deepened his fear of Lin Han.

"Monster tides, the wild will become more and more dangerous, although the guard is no longer there, but! I'm here! ”

"My army is still there!"

"Losing the guard station, we should still unite and gather our forces to go to Unicorn Town together to survive this crisis!"

"Okay, everybody live!"

"Let everyone go to Unicorn Town?" Those cavalrymen who had planned to escort the villagers were naturally happy, but some of the other cavalrymen had ugly faces, but these cavalrymen also found in their hearts that they and others couldn't resist Lin Han's words in their hearts, even if Lin Han didn't say what he wanted, he didn't dare to refute half a sentence!

"I know some of you don't want to go to Unicorn Town without the protection of an army, but...... In addition, do you have any other ways to make your relatives and families behind you have the best chance of surviving? ”

"Can't!"

"You who are scattered here will become the prey of the monsters during the monster tide, and become the puppets they play with, and they will not show mercy, they will only turn you all into food for the big city!"

"Cavalrymen! Excellent Sky City Cavalry! ”

"I know you've lost your way and don't know what to do after the guards are in ruins."

"Now!" "As a nobleman, as a city lord, I give you an order!"

"I'm going to lead you to Unicorn Town! Complete your previous mission, and along the way, I will do my best to protect everyone! ”

"I will lead the way and fight at the forefront!"

Lin Han waved his right arm and slashed it hard, his eyes fixed on the expressions of the people below.

The cavalrymen were the first to recover from their shock.

As an old cavalryman, Aberkeley clenched the hilt of his sword, and after pondering for a few seconds, he roared and pulled out his saber and raised it high: "I! Aberkeley~! I am willing to obey Your Highness and fulfill my mission as a cavalryman! ”

"Huh!"

As Aberkeley responded, the sound of a saber slicing through the air rang out from the cavalry.

"Me! Sakmas ......"

"Me! Lu Shi ......"

"Me! Chris ......"

"Obey Your Highness and complete my mission as a cavalryman!"

"God is equal to me!" Lin Han nodded slightly, spread his hands, loudly boosted morale, and did not hesitate to exhale the slogan that would only be shouted in the army of Sky City during a decisive battle.

"God is with me!"

Not only the cavalry, but also the villagers cheered under the influence of this enthusiasm that was enough to melt steel.

Morale, military morale, public opinion, and people's hearts ...... One word after another flashed in Lin Han's mind, and in an instant, it was like a lightning bolt slashing into his mind, and Lin Han recalled it violently...... Standing on the top of the peak of the cloud mountain, the emperor's eyes that tried in vain to elevate the gods.

"Condense the thoughts of all people, do the desires of many people, this ...... It's the king's way! The inaudible words slowly spat out from Lin Han's lips, although they were not heard by any living beings, but between this heaven and earth, an inexplicable majesty of the king was exerted!

Under the majesty, Aberkeley was surprised to find that these cavalrymen had been trained for a long time, and even the war horses that could resist the adult dragon might be!

All fell to their knees and surrendered to the masked king on the hillside!

"This majesty, this momentum, this kingly style!"

Aberkeley's heart was terrified to the extreme, and he even lowered his head, dismounted and half-knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Lin Han again!

………… Unicorn Town.

This largest human colony on the Black Plateau is backed by a black iron mine.

The ore from the Black Iron Mine can be refined into the best black iron, which is the raw material for 90% of the weapons and equipment used in the blacksmith shop in Sky City!

This makes Unicorn Town one of the key strongholds for the defense of Sky City, and the walls here have been raised to 20 meters, and the thickness has reached about 5-6 meters!

In terms of defensive equipment, in addition to all kinds of exquisite ballistas and trebuchets, there is also a magic tower towering next to the square of the city lord's mansion.

Usually, magic towers often don't have the opportunity to use them, so there are hardly any people here except for the mages stationed there.

But now, the small five-story magic tower is overcrowded, and almost all the nobles and big merchants who live in the unicorn town are gathered inside, anxiously waiting for the mayor of the town to negotiate with the mage stationed there.

On the top floor, the wooden door slowly opened with an unpleasant creaking sound.

The mayor of Unicorn Town, who was bald, had a gray mustache, and was wearing a yellow robe and obviously had a beer belly, walked down in a trance.

"How? What do the mages say, Mayor? ”

The big merchants and nobles looked at the mayor on the stairs and immediately ran over to ask.

The mayor looked at these colleagues, but he also understood their anxiety, since 3 hours ago, everything that should have been normal has become abnormal.

At first, when the first cavalry reported that a guard had been destroyed by the Red Dragon, the mayor refused to believe it and captured the messenger and imprisoned him in a water prison.

After all, this is ridiculous, how could a monster like the red dragon come to the Black Plateau? There's no Dragon Cliff here, what are they doing here? Is it pure killing? It should also be a killing dragon like a metal dragon!

But...... With the arrival of the first cavalry, bad news began to appear one by one, and when the news of the destruction of the fifth guard arrived, the mayor had to believe that there was really a red dragon who had come to his territory and led an army of monsters, destroying his own dwindling military power!

And twenty minutes ago, the red dragon patronized the floating island above the unicorn town, destroyed the floating island that was used as an airport and burned all the magic airships, even the most calm aristocratic lord can't calm down!

"I asked the mage." Mayor Mare, with a sigh, "The mage said that he had contacted the headquarters of Sky City, and the result was ......"

"The result?" Everyone asked anxiously.

"The result is that it's not a simple contingency." The mayor's face was very ugly: "He told me that there are wise lord monsters in many places in Sky City, and in several important resource mines, there are even Beamon giant beasts, chaos nine-headed dragons, immortal phoenixes and other terrifying lord monsters that should not appear!" ”

......Hearing the names of the monsters mentioned by the mayor, the faces of the big businessmen changed dramatically.

"That is to say......" a nobleman asked tentatively, "reinforcements?" ”

"There are no reinforcements for the time being,...... the mayor gritted his silver teeth: "With the location and important surname of our unicorn town, we don't need to count on reinforcements today and tomorrow, and now the army we have driven back from the guards everywhere is our last military strength!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen...... You should know the terrain of Unicorn Town, it's too late to leave here, and the dragon will definitely find and catch up. ”

"Where's the teleportation circle? I'm willing to offer gold coins, I'm going to Sky City! An old nobleman asked, wide-eyed.

"Teleportation Circle...... It has been stopped. The mayor cried and said, "It is said that ...... It's because on the outskirts of Sky City, there are three legendary monsters! They've blocked the teleportation mana! ”

"Three-headed legendary monster!"

The spine of the people couldn't help but feel a biting cold...... Some pessimistic aristocrats seem to have seen the tragic picture of the unicorn town being broken and being burned alive by the flames of the red dragon!
