Chapter 012: Protection Under the Dome
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I wish everyone a New Year's greeting.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Listening to the words of the dwarven weapon master, Christina's white and pure face rose into two blushes. It was just because she was surprised that there was a hint of shock and resentment between her eyebrows.
It's a pity that Christina's expression was not taken seriously by the dwarven weapon master.
But seeing that he only groaned slightly for two seconds, he brushed Christina's shoulder, took a big step forward, raised his voice and said loudly, "Okrek Ato, a dwarf from the wine country, is willing to live and die with the town of Lorkadan. β
So far, only a handful of people know the identity of the Dwarf Craik's weapon master. With the first person taking the lead, and also a halfling of the wine country from the southern part of the Sunny Plains.
The first to be impatient were the Lorkadan people, after all, this is the home they have lived in for a long time and vowed to protect.
"Behold, how precious is the courage of a dwarf, who overtakes some of us. And every adult Lol Cardin man, we will take up arms and join the militia. β
ββ¦β¦ Let those cowards who dare not respond to the battle drown in his cowardice with his self-esteem. β
The ridicule of the Lol Cardan people has made more and more refugees feel embarrassed.
The five towns originally had a pact to defend against ogres. Right now, if even a dwarf from the wine country is from the wine country, he can forget about his life. So what good reason is there for others to be timid? Not to mention how harsh the voices of those Lol Cardin sounded.
"As long as we are given weapons, we are willing to fight the ogre to the end."
"Yes, we need swords, spears, bows and arrows, lots and lots of shields."
In the dense crowd, the feelings of hatred and hatred for the enemy gradually rose, and the low morale of the battle was finally mobilized.
But turning a blind eye to this kind of scene, the eyes of the dwarven weapon master never left a person's body from beginning to end. That was Yasuo, Lord of Lolcadan.
And his face at this time, full of resoluteness and strangeness, was mostly covered by a beard. It's just that in Christine's perspective, this is something that has never been seen before.
"Has even Master Atto turned his back on Onyx River Town, on his friendship with his father?"
Christina realized something, her brow furrowed slightly, her eyes deep and her thoughts sinking into her own thoughts as if they were ghostly. "Master Ato, too...... After that, Christina was the only one left. The rest of the loved ones are dead, dead...... And the people of the Onyx River who fled to Lol Cardin, they no longer think that the Onyx family still has the right to lead them. Now, after all, they chose to turn their backs and bow at the feet of Lord Lol Cardin. β
"As my father used to say, there are never real friends in this world. β¦β¦ When one day he was gone, Christina ...... It's time to grow up, it's time to be mature. Hide your sadness, hide a qiΔ. Just go to achieve your goals. Christie muttered to herself, her dark eyes filled with moisture. But as time passed, I saw that all the resentment and sadness on her face gradually disappeared, and she just pursed her mouth, with a trace of resentment and a touch of unwillingness at the corners of her mouth.
Yasuo nodded to the Dwarven Master, a gleam of gratitude flashing in his sharp eyes.
When he turned his face sideways and looked around at the dense crowd, his eyes were as clear as the clear autumn sky, revealing the pride and majesty that was unique to Lord Lorkadan. "The people of Lol Cardan are never afraid of any intruder. If you come to fight, you will win the battle! β¦β¦ In this ogre challenge, I will need every one of you men to take up arms. It doesn't matter if you're from Lol Cardan, or if you're a freedfolk from one of the other four towns. Believe me, with the protection of the dome, you will not be slaughtered by ogres, and you will not die without the power to resist. Rather, we watched these ogres, stained with human blood, die in terror at our feet. β
Having said that, Yasuo still felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Even then, Loel Cardin already has dome defenses.
Only the most loyal and brave army is the right hand of the lord. The loss of the army made it difficult for all of them.
The Battle of the Five Armies caused the army of Lol Cardin to suffer heavy losses, which is a fact that cannot be changed. Compared with the original army with high morale and high spirits, there are only a few less than 2oo soldiers left in Lol Cardin, and half of them are now lying in the barracks to heal their wounds.
The war was coming quickly, and Lol Cardin did not have enough time to buffer, the collapsed queues could not be rested, and the fallen soldiers could not be replenished.
Perhaps the militia composed of the Lol Cardan people still has a certain combat effectiveness, but without combat training and iron-blooded discipline, they will not be the opponent of the ogre army.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
When the time of war comes.
The morning was foggy and confused, and the whole of Lolcadan was shrouded in a thick fog, as if a very thick and wide curtain had been lowered from heaven.
The fog had cleared by noon, and it was now close to evening.
In the perspective, a faint white smoke and a continuous army of ogres mixed together to form an invisible pressure, squeezing towards Lol Cardin from all directions.
Standing on top of the earthen walls of Lorkadan, Yasuo surveyed the battlefield in shape.
He stared at the position 1oo meters from the gate and the town wall of Lorcadan.
"Well, I can feel that Loel Cardin is shrouded like the sky by an invisible force at this time. It's like a bowl upside down. It's just that this transparent force field is surrounded, and it will only be visible when it is attacked, and it is usually invisible to the naked eye. β
Using the meticulous perspective of the mysterious number jΓΉ stream, Yasuo can clearly perceive the boundaries. So he didn't put the 4ooo militia that had been gathered in place at the gate and the town wall. Instead, they were all placed at the perimeter of the dome's protection. The spears and blades were all pointing outward, and only 1ooo archers stood condescendingly above the town wall.
As a result, the following situation has been created.
Those few Sergeants of Lol Cardin were good. Yasuo could only order them to form a team of warlords to maintain the neatness and stability of the battle sequence. If there were no war overseers, God knows if these militiamen, who were uneven, would have collapsed in an instant.
Still, it was only under the protection of a military order and a 'nonsensical' dome.
Stand above the wilderness and face tens of thousands of ferocious ogres. The militiamen, who had not received formal training, and most of the many who took up arms casually, were now panting with their mouths open, and they looked frightened and frightened.
Making the determination to fight and standing on the battlefield and witnessing it are always two different things.
Most people are besieged by fear, which makes their elbows tighten at their waists, their heels tightened under their hips, taking up as little space as possible, and even absorbing as little unnecessary air as possible, but even so, the fear that pierces the soul has not changed except that it has increased unabated.
This can be seen from their trembling hands and feet.
Especially in the ears, the sound of the military horn of "Dudu ββββββββ" sounded by the ogre, densely packed with the ogre getting closer and closer, and is eating away at the last point of view of the militia little by little.
"Hold steady - don't be afraid, with the dome to protect us, the enemy can't attack us. β¦β¦ You may not have seen the protective power of the dome, but I can responsibly tell you that tonight, you will drink and dine by the warm fireplace............"
Centurion Lancet's voice was sporadic and weak. Because from the mouths of tens of thousands of ogres on the opposite side, there was a deafening battle cry like tens of thousands of cauldrons of boiling water were boiling
