Act 428 Capture of the Puglia Mine
"Quick! Fast! Fast! Everybody run a little faster for me! The top of the mountain is just ahead, and with a little more effort we can go up! ”
Rusta looked up at the top of the mountain that seemed to be within reach, and couldn't help but urge the recruits in his team to come, although they had not received long-term combat training, they already had an overwhelming advantage against a group of low-level undead.
Now Rusta's team is only more than ten meters away from the first echelon, and as long as he works hard, he may be the first team to reach the top!
It's a great honor!
The promotion of military rank is only one aspect, as a mercenary, the promotion of money is the most important, of course, if you can be valued by His Majesty of White Steel and jump into the knight class, it is simply a dream!
Not only Rusta, but also the recruits behind him blushed with excitement.
Although they are exhausted from fighting all the way, the mountain peaks in front of them seem to be able to replenish their physical strength, and even if their bodies are tired, they can be full of strength as long as they look at them twice.
Unlike the elite troops from various kingdoms, these "Thunder" legions come from a variety of backgrounds, most of them are civilians who have not received any systematic training, and they all receive combat training after entering the legion. They are inexperienced and not as well equipped as those elite troops, so they are also the most despised of the crusading army.
If it weren't for the fact that almost all of the opponents in the Puglia Mine were low-level undead this time, the elites in the crusading army, who regarded themselves quite highly, would not have been their turn to attack the "Thunder" legion.
When the battle escalates in the future, and more and more mid- and high-level undead appear in the enemies they encounter, it is difficult to say how many such opportunities they have!
Rusta and they killed happily along the way, which they had never tasted like civilians who had been bullied by the undead, and they fought more bravely along the way than the elites of those countries under the excitement.
Relying on the tight defensive equipment on his body, the ghouls and skeleton soldiers and the like could not fatally inflict fatal injuries on Rusta and them, and so far only one member of his team was seriously injured due to a accidental fall while climbing the mountain, and the rest were at most muscle strains.
Only the sharp claws of the ghouls can threaten them, but the ghouls are very afraid of the rifles in their hands! Bullets are not very effective when hit on skeletons and ghouls, but can be fatal when hit by ghouls.
Immersed in the excitement of revenge and slaughter against the undead, Rusta and the others have unwittingly rushed to the front line of all the troops, and even have a chance to compete for the glory of the first ascension.
At this moment, Rusta raised his arms and called out to the entire team and rushed forward with a "whoop".
On the mountain, where there was no road at all, Rusta took three or two steps and rushed to the front of the group, and just after climbing over a rock, he saw a skeleton mage suddenly appear on the rocks in the distance, waving his wand and brewing a magic attack.
"Give me death!"
Undeterred, Usta raised his hand and shot the skeleton mage's head, smashing him in the face with the falling bones.
Immediately after, Rusta gasped and climbed the boulder, standing on it and looking up at the top of the mountain.
The only two remaining high ranks of the undead were there, and Rusta watched as a squad trying to rush up was slaughtered in an instant, and the terrifying sight of everyone being cut down made Rusta tremble.
With the strength of these people, rushing up so stupidly is simply sending them to death!
Then call in air support!
The convenience of the air force is obvious, and almost all of the indigenous people of Tuzawa, who did not know what an airplane was, are now suffering from air force dependence, and the first thing they think of when they encounter unsolvable trouble is to call the air force.
"Quick! Bring the indicator machine up! ”
Rusta turned his head and shouted, and when he saw that the man carrying the laser pointing machine was slipping under his feet, he jumped down in fright and helped him lift the machine to the rock, and then the man climbed up again.
But when they climbed the boulder again, they were shocked to find that there was already an undead standing on the boulder that had just been empty, it was the death knight who had just easily slaughtered a team of infantry!
Why is this guy eyeing himself!?
Rusta's mouth widened in horror, his eyes widened as he looked up as the Death Knight raised his two-handed sword.
Are you going to die here?
"Boom!"
With a muffled thud, Rusta saw the Death Knight's two-handed sword flash a cloud of sparks and fly out, and his entire body was carried backwards to the boulder.
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out and cut off the head of the Death Knight with a single sword.
Seeing the figure clearly, Rusta exclaimed.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty!? Why are you here? ”
Rusta stared blankly at the white steel that was standing in front of him wiping the firefly cut, and for a moment he couldn't figure out the situation.
Bai Gang turned his head and smiled, and said, "I just came to the front line to inspect the battle situation, and my hands are itchy for a while, there should be a high-level in front, right?" ”
As soon as Bai Gang's words were asked, a pitch-black magic bullet hit him. He jumped off the boulder in time to escape, but the boulder and the corpse of the Death Knight on it were instantly corroded into puddles of pus.
But the lich who had just attacked White Steel didn't end well, and Cao Yu smashed his head with an enchanted bullet.
"Tsk, I was robbed of my head."
Looking at the exploding head from a hundred meters away, Bai Gang knew that there was nothing to do with this battle, and without these two high-level soldiers, even the "thundering" soldiers would be enough to push the remaining low-level cannon fodder.
As for the guys entrenched in the mine, the crusading army does not intend to waste too much energy on them, set up a defensive line at the entrance of the cave, and then let the ordinary infantry in heavy armor clear it little by little, the main force of the crusading army has more important goals to deal with, and their real battlefield is in the Lei Ming Peninsula, the territory of the Eternal Holy Sect.
Turning around and walking in front of Rusta, who was clutching his corroded steel helmet in a daze, Bai Gang smiled: "Don't worry, your head is fine." However, if we don't act now, it will be impossible to be the first to reach the top. ”
"Oh...... Yes!? ”
Rusta, who had come to his senses, glanced up at the highest peak, gritted his teeth, brought his helmet back to his head, and rushed out again.
Putting his sword back into its sheath, Bai Gang stood on the boulder and looked down the mountain, where the crusading army was the base camp of the crusading army, where a large number of troops were gathered, and in the farther distance, the undead were not found at all.
"The undead are really calm...... Well, let's fight it out on your home turf. ”
