Chapter 118: The Baptism of the Star Sand
Seven days later, in the afternoon, the hot summer of Baikalmo was showing its power, and the scorching sun was in the sky, unleashing its power to the fullest, without a single cloud or wind, and all the trees were listless, as if they were about to be sunburned.
The Rose Crusaders marched for seven days, and now in this unobstructed sun, it was as difficult as entering a steam room. The weather was so hot, as if a little spark would cause an explosion, and the scorching sun made the hearts of all the warriors anxious.
Fortunately, the destination has finally arrived, and Xingsha City is ahead.
This is a city without real city walls, a lonely city gate is much more symbolic than practical, here the terrain is open, and buildings rise from the ground, including 5-7 floors of more than 20 meters tall buildings.
From a distance, the layout of the whole city is standardized, the path is bright, simple and practical, the setting is reasonable, and the fall is generous, which can be regarded as quite ingenious from another aspect.
"It's quiet, isn't it?" At this time, Sauron was able to move on the ground, but he still couldn't fight, and every now and then he envied and hated Dick in front of him from his heart.
"Indeed, according to the intelligence, Xingsha City has a constant flow of pedestrians on weekdays, but now not a single pedestrian can be seen." Dick replied.
"Is it because of the war that everyone here has run out? Do you want me to check it out? The goblin in charge of intelligence asked.
"We should have no enemies here." Shiva said.
This is very correct logic! None of the enemy would come here to ambush them, there was no possibility, and there was no need.
"The warriors' bodies are exhausted, and they should be resupplied as soon as possible, and the 'Dove Magpie' plan should be carried out as soon as possible." Khiva ordered his troops to march and garrison Starsand.
When the warriors of the Rose Crusaders heard that they could finally have a good meal and sleep today, they all shouted "Long live!"
After 1,000 avant-garde troops entered the city, the command of the Rose Crusaders also entered the city gates. It's really strange that the streets of the city that used to be crowded with people are empty, is it really because of the war that they have fled!
"Look!"
"What?"
"Dragonman!"
"It's a dragonman!"
The avant-garde troops actually saw a group of dragonmen in the city!
"Stop!" Dick immediately ordered his troops to stand by, not afraid of the dragonmen, but smelled the smell of blood in the air, with a hint of sweetness in the blood, indicating that the blood was fresh.
At this time, half of the troops entered the city, half were outside the city, and the end could not be connected, if there was really any change, at this time this situation could not be taken into account was a big taboo, Dick immediately ordered: "The follow-up troops enter the city at full speed." ”
At the same time, he thought to himself: how could the dragonmen, who had never mixed with other races, appear here, was it just ordinary trade? Is it really a coincidence?
Dragonmen, the strength is better than the dwarves, the fighting instinct is stronger than the orcs, and what is more terrifying is that the dragonmen have innate magic power, and the adult dragonmen have the ability to defend against dragonization, and all kinds of innate excellent conditions still make them surpass all the races of Baikalmo in the same number of battles, and can be called the strongest race in small-scale wars.
Fortunately, due to the scarcity of people due to their long life and their innate narrow-mindedness and extremely xenophobic character, they have no say in the division of power in the Baikalmo plane.
There is also a consensus between the kingdoms of Baikalmo and the dragonmen that humans will give them an undisturbed habitat and try not to provoke the dragonmen, and the dragonmen will not interfere with any development of the continent in the name of the tribe.
So now there are only underage dragonmen or a small number of dragonman mercenaries who have gone out to train.
Just when Dick was on guard for an unknown sense of crisis, in the square in the center of Starsand City, almost all the nobles of Starsand City were waiting for the slaughter of the dragons.
The dragonmen in the field are obviously strong adult warriors, although it is impossible to judge the age of dragons by their appearance, for the long-lived dragons, even the grandfather may not look much older than his grandson, but there are still people who can still judge by their dragon character Ze.
Young and underage dragonmen have short and dark dragon horns, and young dragons have bright and dazzling colors with long dragon horns.
After old age, the dragon character is deeply introverted.
And now these dragonmen in the square, the dragon horns are bright and dazzling golden yellow, obviously the dragons in the prime of life, all tall and sturdy bodies, and weapons and equipment uniform, now the regular army of the dragons.
In the center, a dragon man, his dragon horns are darker than other dragon people, showing a restrained golden color, he is born with a dignified and serious appearance, and between his conversations, he reveals a kind of arrogance and majesty that only those in high positions have.
At this time, a person who knew by his costume that he was a nobleman of Xingsha City was negotiating with the dragons, and looking at the nobleman's shouting words, it seemed that he was dissatisfied with the attitude of the dragons towards them, and the disdainful eyes of the dragonman from the beginning seemed to arouse their anger even more.
I saw that the leader of the dragonmen bowed his head and said something to his subordinates, and a dragonman guard beside him drew a long sword and pounced on the nobleman, and when the nobleman was frightened by this sudden change, the dragonman sent it casually, and the long sword directly pierced the nobleman's shoulder and pierced the person to the ground.
In an instant, this iconic landmark of Starsand City became an Asura field, and in just half an hour, at least 5,000 human corpses fell in pools of blood, and nearly 10,000 others were sitting and waiting to die.
The leader of the dragonmen watched the vivid lives disappear in front of him expressionlessly, and at this time, a soldier who looked like a dragonman scout galloped to his side, bowed his head and said something to him.
The dragon man was stunned for a moment, and then he sneered and said, "Kill or kill!" ”
Stardust City, up to now, Baikalmo, or the world that Dick came to, has not had that place or name give him such a big impact and danger!
Not even in the Ruins of the Eternal Night.
Maybe this is just the beginning of his eternal bond with Starsand City!
Today, Dick finally saw the ruthlessness and bloodiness of war in the age of cold weapons.
Just when the extremely exhausted troops of the Rose Crusaders all entered Starsand City, several former dragonman warriors suddenly came out of the hidden buildings of Starsand City, and it seemed that they roared hysterically for the innate hatred of the human race, and even their extremely handsome faces were distorted by hatred.
The battle actually lasted for a full 5 hours, Dick and the dragon leader were surprised by the tenacity of the other party, the blood on the warriors continued to increase, everyone had a huge pressure on their chests, the will to fight on both sides of the war was surprisingly strong, and the remaining warriors were killing more and more people.
Dick has long forgotten the so-called combat skills, instinct has gradually replaced reason, the direct guards around him to protect him have long been sent out by him, he only has enemies in his heart now, everything that wants his life is the enemy, and for those who want his life, he has to insert his weapon into the opponent's body.
After a full 8 hours of defense, the warriors of the Rose Crusaders finally stopped retreating, they finally stood their ground, no one gave them orders, no one gave them commands.
Instinct, everything is war or the instinct to live.
But if you want to survive, you really can't go back. They were to advance, to kill the enemy in the course of the attack.
After nine hours of bloody fighting, the Rosacean began to break through, but with each step they took, they paid more than they did when they defended.
All three knights were converted to infantry, because all the horses were already damaged, there was no room to charge, and the knights on the horses were the targets.
The cavalrymen and the infantry waved their swords together, but they felt more and more sluggish, because every time they killed an enemy, they had to pay more, and the wounds of the Crusader warriors were more and more and bigger, but it was not only their bodies that were notched, but also the knives that had become dull.
