Chapter 36: The Collective Interest (II)
Although in the afternoon, but the tangled bushes were very dark, and the troops took a short rest in the march, drank some water, and ate some food, and all the people were confused, because the march seemed to have no goal in the past few days, but only kept circling in circles in the dark area, and sometimes divided the troops, although these divisions were camps of three hundred in size, and the main forces of the nobles were also divided, but they were only briefly separated, and basically regrouped again in one day, and so on.
This undoubtedly made many people feel dissatisfied, especially the knights, but they were not going to openly fight it now, and sure enough, after a commotion, there was a brief sound of fighting.
"Sir, do you really want to be executed?" Pamore, a close confidant, stepped forward.
In front of a detachment, a strong soldier was captured, his mouth was stuffed with clothes, his face was covered with blood, and he muttered curses about something.
"I have already said that those who disobey the order will be put to death immediately!" Fang Xin took a deep breath and slowly drew out his long sword: "Pull him up and hang him!" β
Suddenly, the guards who were currently staying, in front of their own soldiers, and had thirty of the strongest campers, stepped forward, and Cassedon, who had been selected as the captain, smiled fiercely, put the rope on it, and then hung it on the tree, and pulled it violently, and suddenly, the soldier's stout body struggled desperately, and kicked the trunk desperately with his legs, and the trunk swayed with one sound after another.
Sure enough, it was a soldier, who was hanged, and also had such a great power.
However, he was human after all, and there was not much time for his kicks to weaken, his tongue sticked out, his eyes cracked, and his body went into a dying spasm.
The onlookers had gloomy faces, but they didn't say anything, this was the eleventh one along the way, this savior, but he acted cruelly and ruthlessly, making everyone feel that they were in a state of anger and awe.
These feelings were all seen by Fang Xin, but even if the overall purpose was to achieve merit, but for war, this kind of thing was all necessary for military law, through mysticism and cruel military law, to establish the foundation of authority - of course, Fang Xin also knew that he was almost reaching the limit now, and if he couldn't win a big victory, he would almost be counterattacked.
Fang Xin didn't have the opportunity to dominate people's hearts and the army before, but now that he has practiced it, he feels that it is not difficult.
Fang Xin exhaled, not looking at the human body that was still a little trembling, turned around and waited quietly...... The time was almost up, Fang Xin felt like this: "Convey it, don't light the fire, take out the bread and meat slices, divide them, today is two servings, understand?" β
The two knights looked at each other, and one of them said without any emotion: "Yes, I will give the order, sir!" β
Hearing this knight's voice, Fang Xin couldn't help but shudder secretly, this voice was a kind of coldness from the heart, a kind of accumulated dissatisfaction, Fang Xin looked into the distance, didn't even look back, and his tone was also spewing piercing ice: "Since that's the case, then go and do it!" β
As no fire was allowed, the 1,300 army circled the entire jungle, and in just six days the food was running out, and the abnormal attrition caused by wild beasts and poisonous snakes had reached 111 menβthey were no longer able to fight.
At this moment, a dark shadow appeared beside Fang Xin, whispering, Fang Xin listened, and finally showed a smile, the time had come.
"Gather all the knights and get ready for battle!" Fang Xin gave the order.
Hearing the word battle, all the knights looked at each other, and then gathered, and 1,200 soldiers were immediately called up and followed the knights.
Almost at the same time, an army of five hundred Dark Knights was preparing to break through the jungle.
When several screams reached the ears of the high-ranking dark knight, Jane Bratcher, he was a little blank and unresponsive.
In the past six days, his enemies have launched countless surprise attacks with bows and arrows, and there are too many such cases, this damned Hannett, who has been circling in circles in the jungle, does not dare to confront it head-on, and once he chases closely, he will immediately be blocked by these guys who lurk in the dark with cold arrows.
But as she walked out of the jungle, all of a sudden, Jane Bratcher's eyes tightened as he sensed danger, and the sky darkened.
"Peng", this is a rain of arrows, this is not an individual archer, but a scale, hundreds of archers in size are firing in a salvo, between the lightning and flames, Jane Bratcher raised the small shield.
The shield clanged, Jane Blather snorted, the small shield did not cover the spot, blood splattered on his shoulder, and almost at the same time, the two squires in front of him, within a second, had a convulsion, and then fell heavily to the ground.
In this instant, fifty dark soldiers were killed in this way.
Almost a battle instinct, Jane Blather roared: "Charge! β
This sound resounded throughout the space, and the black light on Jane Bratcher's body lit up, and immediately, the dark soldiers nearby had red eyes, let out a roar, and followed straight up, but in the jungle, they only started again, and within a short minute, the speed could not be increased.
"Second wave, put!" Not far away, sure enough, at this point in time, there was a cold command sound, which made Jane Blather suddenly shudder, in his eyes, he saw a dense group of archers, pulling arrows, at this time, he suddenly disgusted with the thick fog in the dark jungle, not only because only the dark knight could see through the thick fog, but more importantly, the archers on the other side could not see clearly the charge dozens of meters away - the ignorant were not afraid, so they could listen to the order to shoot arrows in the designated direction.
But in the blink of an eye, this tremor was gone, and in its place, the longing that went deep into the bone marrow, the thirst for blood, the thirst for killing, the thirst for death, the thirst for darkness, this is the indelible desire after the advanced Dark Knight.
"Peng", another rain of arrows, Jane Blather grabbed a spear from the horse, threw it with all his might, and suddenly, the spear flew out, and he clearly saw that this spear, from the chest of an archer, to the back, blood gushed out on the front and back of the body.
The heavy armor and small shields on his body clanged, and the arrows snapped in the hard parts, but there was a dense sound of piercing flesh behind him.
Jane Bratcher's body flashed with black light, and suddenly sped up, and finally, he suddenly appeared in front of the archer, and he saw the archer's panicked expression, and immediately full of pride, and his eyes were full of vengeful anger.
At this moment, there was a dangerous sound in the air, and before he could react, his body continued to shake, and the knight's armor couldn't intercept it, the cold arrow tore through the muscles and internal organs, and the blood was violently spurted out by the huge pressure, staining a piece of air red, and this powerful impact made him fly off his horse and fall to the ground.
The dark knight's fierce war horse, but it was still charging fiercely, knocking over several archers in an instant, but then, the black horse's hooves broke, wailed and fell, falling heavily to the ground, and there was a constant sound of bones shattering, this is the horse, and it is also the person who was crushed below, hearing this, the high-ranking dark knight Jane Bratcher's heart sank into the darkness - what is this, no, this is a crossbow, a crossbow fired at himself at close range!
This damned Hannitt actually used a weapon that violated the morality of knighthood!
Consciousness had sunk into darkness, and Jane Bratcher's last consciousness was to hear the familiar sound of a spell, and then, the last bit of his consciousness became blank.
