131. Departure

Zheng Yi descended on the ninth day of Annu Tassamet. Ijuiluvida's hourglass has been drained, ready for the Sage's blessing. However, Zheng Yi didn't feel the meaning of Annu Tassamet driving him away, probably once he was born and twice cooked, and three times he was a friend.

Despite Annu-Tassamet's gentleness, Zheng Yi decided to leave early, he had a batch of combat aids to go to the desert to procure, and he also had to go to Ijuiluvida to see how prepared for Candlekeep. He felt that his rise was quite successful, and it didn't take long for him to open up the situation in various worlds.

That night, Zheng Yi, Kashya, and Akara discussed the battle arrangements for the last time in the hall of the Blind Sisters. For tomorrow's battle, the entire Rogue camp is resting today, because not only the Rogue girls will go to battle, but the explorers will also fight with Rogg.

For them, it was a battle to be won, because the Sage would go with them. However, the Order will still generously give out 300 points of prestige, so that everyone can be closer to "intimacy".

Fifty years ago, the blind nuns were driven out of the monastery by demons, and this was the first time that the Roges had fought on a large scale in an organized manner. When Akara said that he was going to attack the skeleton camp in the Stone Wilderness, everyone thought that the priest was a little abnormal.

For the first time in this kind of commanding role, Kashya carefully worded and counted each item, and reported:

"After three reconnaissances, it was confirmed that the number of demons in the skeleton camp was between four hundred and eighty and five hundred.

"Rogge sent one hundred and twenty men, and forty explorers. Fifty other explorers and farmers from nearby villages guarded the camp.

"At five o'clock in the morning, the scouts set out, followed by the combat team, clearing the march path of demons.

"At six o'clock in the morning, the convoy will set off along Highway 1.

"At 6:30, the gun carriage departed, accompanied by fifty roges and twenty explorers. His Excellency set out with the gun carriage. ”

Zheng Yi nodded, but he had to stand guard at the camp gate at four o'clock in the morning to give blessings to each team. The blessing lasted only half an hour, and it was hoped that it would be able to provide some help to Rog and the explorers of the combat team.

Because the Skeleton Barracks in the Stone Wilderness was a full day's journey from Camp Rogg, the scouts tested it in the field and determined that the gun carriage would take ten hours to walk. Only by setting out before dawn can you be guaranteed to reach the battlefield before dark.

If the battle is a little longer, you may have to enter a night battle. And what demons are best at is using the night as a cover, which can exert greater combat effectiveness.

The previous tentative attacks in Rogge's camp were all due to obstacles caused by distance and were ineffective. Akara originally wanted to build another camp between the camp and the barracks, but the terrain along the way was complicated and full of demons roaming around, making it not suitable for civil engineering.

If the barracks can be captured, then the western part of the Stone Fields will be able to completely destroy the demons and purify the soil from the western part of the Stone Fields all the way to the vast area of Camp Rogg.

In the early morning of the next day, Zheng Yi waited at the gate of Rogge's camp on time to give the first team of scouts a sacred blessing. The scout girls rode into the darkness on horseback and with torches, and soon disappeared. The battle team and escort team that set off afterwards came out in order, and the people of the entire Rogue camp silently looked at these brave girls.

"It doesn't make the slightest point, the demon will be reborn in hell and come back again." Mr. Kidd, the representative of the Chamber of Commerce, leaned against the tavern window, his face flushed with drunkenness.

"Actually, there have been more and more demons over the years." The proprietress yawned with golden roses, "If those people don't go and kill the demons, we will have to wait to be blocked by the demons at the door." ”

Mr. Kidd said after a long time: "They cannot hold on to the wilderness, which is closer to the Great Abbey. Build a camp at the gate of the demon's lair, and heh, you'll be beaten back soon. ”

The proprietress squinted at the representative of the Chamber of Commerce and said, "But it's different now, we have a Sage." ”

Mr. Kidd drank the wine from his glass: "I hope to receive good news tomorrow morning." ”

The proprietress recalled that when she was exiled to this camp, the Rogers with sharp knives were still little girls. It had been many years since the nearby villagers had sent their daughters to be nuns, and if they didn't rush out and wait until they were old and weak, the camp would have to perish.

Groups of men and horses poured out of the camp in relays, changing guards in the field, and advancing in turns. The demon didn't realize that it was a war, and was still swimming around, being wiped out one by one by the squad-based combat team.

At dawn, the 190-centimeter-tall giantess Chasi announced her departure in a loud voice, and two carts pulled by eight oxen slowly moved forward.

The cart was loaded with a swarthy iron box, and the accessories were carried by the explorers, who were the main force of the battle and drove out into the stone fields.

This is the legendary artillery carriage.

Zheng Yi rode the landing bird and followed the gun carriage. Ellie, Constance, and Tracey followed him on horseback. Elle changed into a half-body plate armor that the Rogers rarely wore, and wore a tower shield on her left armβ€”a shield larger than a round shield that could almost cover her body.

Constance and Tracy protected Zheng Yi from left to right, with grim expressions. They all knew that the scouts and combat teams in front of them had cleared this line of communication back and forth many times, but they still did not relax in the slightest.

Because it's a war.

At noon, the main forces rested a little, ate lunch, and then continued their advance. They had left the forest far behind, and the overgrown flats were within their sight. Only a row of small, distant mountains appeared on the horizon, connecting to the sky.

When the sun was setting in the west, there were more and more members of Rog and the combat team on the road, and the battle line gathered here, and the military camp of the skeleton soldiers could already be seen in front of them - the abandoned blackstone fortress, dilapidated and terrifying.

Inspired by the high-ranking demons, the skeleton soldiers rose from the ground, raised their swords and shields, and prepared their bows and arrows. They were vaguely arranged in a phalanx, with spears in front, swords and shields on the sides, and bows and arrows behind.

The Rog warband formed a long formation, and Kasha rode through the crowd on horseback. She wanted to say something, but finally walked up to Zheng Yi and said:

"Your Excellency, you should say something to everyone."

Zheng Yi also felt that everyone was like this, and he couldn't just shout "kill" and start a war, that would be too unserious. People have to shout a few times before they fight, not to mention that they are righteous teachers on their side.

His Excellency the Sage rode the landing bird to the front, passed in front of the horizontal column of more than 100 meters, and saw every one of their faces:

"Ever since the War of Original Sin, evil has been eating away at our world.

If the flame of justice, goodness, and order is not ignited here, the world will eventually be completely engulfed in darkness.

However, as long as we believe in the light, as long as we keep fighting, even if we die in battle-

The fire will not be extinguished, but the darkness will burn through!

Now, let's take the first step to burn through the darkness! ”
