Chapter 125, Calculation II
readx; The blades in their hands stabbed each other, but compared to what Poluff was forced to do when he had no choice, Gergil was at ease, and he slapped Poluff's horned dagger with his other hand, and the short knife still stabbed Poluff in the chest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
With a thud, Poruff fell on his back on the roof, but he immediately rolled to the side, for the tip of Gegil's short knife had already struck him in the chest and stabbed into the flesh, and with a little more force it could have penetrated into the ribcage.
With a tear, Poluff's movements directly caused the sharp blade to tear his chest and clothes apart, but he also picked up a life because of this, but the end was a little embarrassing, and the roll rolled directly off the roof and fell to the ground.
Gegil took back the short knife in his hand, wiped the blood stains on it with his fingers, and then turned his head to look at Rex, revealing a contemptuous smile: "Come and arrest me, only if you catch me, you can win, otherwise even if you guard the city gate here for a lifetime, you will only be a loser after all." ”
Even though he knew that Gegill was just carrying out a crude provocation, Rex's eyes froze for a moment.
He is the Demon Hunter of the Titan Church, high enough to ⊥be worshiped by the vast majority of the world, and his enemies are the Cultists of the Last Days, a group of outlaws with great power, who have caused turmoil in the two kingdoms.
And what is Gergil? A murderous maniac, Rex never took the boy to heart, nor did he see him as an adversary to be taken seriously.
Now Gegill put on the appearance that I am your fierce rival and make irresponsible comments about his behavior, which not only does not make Rex feel challenged by a strong person of the same level, but instead feels insulted.
was seen clearly by a little person who couldn't even be called an opponent, and was wantonly insulted.
This made Rex, who had always been confident, feel speechless anger.
However, in a way, it can be regarded as a success of Gegil's provocation to make Rex angry, although the reason for the anger has nothing to do with Gegill's verbal stimulation.
Gagir was pleased with the chill in Rex's eyes, and he made no secret of the contemptuous smile on his face, reached out and put his hood back on, and then leaped from the roof, soaring into the air like a bat flying in the night, landing on the roof of another dwelling, and then running in a leaping fashion towards the city of Sand Shield.
"You all stay here and guard the gates, and you can't leave under any circumstances."
Rex shouted to the soldiers next to him, and then pulled the reins hard, and the blood-streaked warhorse, which was kicking its hooves under its crotch, immediately neighed, threw off its pace and galloped wildly, under Rex's control, along the road at the edge of the dwelling, towards Ggil.
The two chased and fled away from the vicinity of the city gate, leaving behind only a group of soldiers who looked at each other.
The wounded Poluff was lifted from the ground, and the look on his face was not as annoyed or dejected as that of being easily defeated by Gergil, but his expression was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Master Poluff, we should ...... now What to do? The highest commander of the city defense army next to him asked cautiously.
Although Poruf's apparent identity is only the captain of a ten-man team, as the head of the stronghold of the Mirror Man spy organization, his status is far higher than that of the non-commissioned officer of the city defense army.
Therefore, this former boss and current subordinate showed a subtle expression, but it was understandable, Poluff glanced at him with a gloomy face, and then exhaled heavily and said, "What else can I do, didn't you hear Lord Rex's orders?" Our only task is to guard the gates. ”
Sensing that Poluff seemed to have a precursor to anger, the non-commissioned officer was resigned, and hurriedly dodged under the pretext of arranging defensive affairs.
Poruf cursed in his heart for being a fool, and then turned his head to look into the city in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a cold light in it that no one noticed.
At the same time as the riots in Shadun City took place, the army of North Sunderland outside the city was also prepared accordingly.
Since most of them were light cavalry, there was nothing special to prepare, and they had no plans to attack the city strongly, so it was enough to cope with the scene as usual.
After a well-rested break, assemble and form up a formation, tell the soldiers about the battle plan that had been discussed, and finally wait for the appointed time for the dilapidated but still strong gates of Shadun City to be opened from the inside, and the spears of the light cavalry can drive straight in, dominating the entire city under iron hooves and sharp blades.
As the time approached, Third Lieutenant Andrei, the highest commander of the thousand-man team, and his adjutant came to the front together, staring at the city gate, which was nearly two hundred meters away from the night.
"Lord Andrei, why do you believe that guy of unknown origin?" The adjutant was surprised that Andrei, who had been very shrewd and capable in the past, easily believed the black and thin enemy boy, and he decided to carry out such a risky plan tonight without even consulting the other officers in the thousand-man team, "If we are tricked by him, won't we be busy in vain?" ”
"Don't you understand, Colin? It's a low-cost, but rewarding gamble......"
Colin is the name of the lieutenant, and André also likes to call his subordinates by name to show closeness and trust.
"What if you get tricked? What did we give? It's just some budget exertion, and the soldiers' hard work all night, these are small things that can be ignored, but think about the reward, if it succeeds, we can get a city, although small, but it is indeed a city, not a town or a town. And we captured the city with a thousand men of light cavalry, such a record has never been seen since the battle, and the significance at the strategic level is far ten times higher than that of a thousand troops, do you understand now? ”
The adjutant lowered his head thoughtfully, he did not possess or could not compare to Andrei's strategic vision, otherwise it would not be Andrei who would have made the decision now, but him.
"But what if it's just a hoax, a trap?" The adjutant was still hesitant, which was probably the psychology common to many soldiers who went behind enemy lines, and the unfamiliar and hostile environment made it difficult for them to make decisive and effective judgments about many situations.
"I know what you're afraid of, my lieutenant......" Andre turned his head to look at Colin with understanding in his eyes, "but, with our numbers and strength, as long as we enter the city gates, it is not up to them to decide who is the prey and who is the hunter." ”
The adjutant nodded, knowing he was convinced, just like the other officers.
And just as the two were talking, the originally closed city gate in the distance suddenly made an obvious noise, and then slowly opened.
Andrei's eyes burst with light, and he immediately raised the sword in his hand and swung it forward and shouted: "My soldiers, conquer this city with your bravery"
The soldiers behind immediately responded, and the spearhead composed of hundreds of light cavalry immediately changed from slow movement to rapid sprinting, and plunged straight into the open city gate.
Time goes back ten minutes before the gates were opened.
With an astonishing bouncing force, Gegill kept flying and jumping over the connected houses, and the speed was astonishing, enough to compare with the gallop of ordinary horses. And he doesn't seem to have any clear purpose, just to run as far away as possible to remote and densely built places, so as to avoid the pursuit behind him.
Although Gegil was fast, Rex was not slow either, and strictly speaking, the detours and places he walked were far more difficult than Gegill, after all, not anywhere in the city could allow horses to run freely.
But Rex's own riding skills are excellent, and the horse under his crotch is not an ordinary horse, but a blood-streaked war horse that can be called the highest level in the mortal world, and it is the standard equipment of the Titan Holy See, one of the two major forces of Elender, and only the Radiant Templar Knights and Demon Hunters can afford to equip it, not even the Knights of the Cathar.
This blood-streaked war horse from the Black Eagle Grassland not only has excellent endurance and running speed, but also has a very good spirituality and IQ, as long as it is in good tune with the owner, it can easily understand the rider's thoughts and plans, and achieve the perfect cooperation between the horse and the rider.
And Rex, the blood-streaked war horse he called the Knight, has been with him for more than two years, and has already cultivated a mellow relationship, with the cooperation of the Knight, Rex easily caught up with Gegil, if it weren't for the fact that Gegil was difficult to catch on the roof, Rex would have stopped him a long time ago.
Therefore, no matter how Gegil dodges and runs in a remote place, Rex can always chase after him, and if this continues, Gegill's physical strength will definitely not be comparable to that of the Knight, and there will be a time when Rex will be caught.
But Gergill didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and dared to use words to taunt and provoke Rex as he fled, trying to provoke his endless anger.
Soon, though, Rex noticed the unusual commotion in the city, even though Gergill deliberately led him to a remote part of the city.
If Gergil only went to the city gate after killing people and causing a riot, then no matter how he escaped from Erwin's hands, no matter how much the hundred soldiers who disguised themselves and infiltrated the city were negligent, they should not have allowed the riot to continue until now.
With such doubts, Rex slowly stopped his pursuit, and correspondingly, Gegil, who saw this scene, stopped running, but stopped his movements and turned around, looked at him condescendingly, and asked, "Why, you gave up if you couldn't catch up?" ”
There was no emotion on Rex's grim countenance, he just raised his head to look at Gegill standing on the roof not far away: "You did this on purpose, just to lure me away from the city gate?" ”
"Haha, I saw through it so quickly, I deserve to be a powerful person from a very powerful place." Gegil didn't deny it at all, but generously admitted it, but although he was praising it, he still had a contemptuous expression on his face, "But don't you think you noticed that the time was a little too late?" Now, the gates may have been opened. ”
Gergil began to feel excited, and his eyes showed anticipation, and he was looking forward to the annoyed and angry expression that the big man below would show after he knew that he had been tricked and calculated.
However, Gergil was obviously disappointed, and after hearing his words, Rex not only did not feel ashamed or panicked, but showed a sneer: "So, there are still a lot of you in the city defenders, and you can't wait to jump out after I leave?" What a misguided and unplanned decision. ”
Gergill clearly didn't know what Rex was thinking right now, he was just following the plan that some mysterious figure had laid out for him, using himself to lure Rex away from the city gates.
Although it seems that the plan was successful, it is clear that it does not seem to be working very well.
Because even with Gergil's eyes, he could tell that Rex's performance was not quite right, as if he already knew their plan.
As for finding the plan and running out of the city gate obediently, then there is only one possibility - Rex already has a plan to deal with the calculation.
"I always thought they were following you because you had something special." Rex restrained his sneer, a look of emotion on his face for some reason, and the look of finally facing the opponent of Gegill, "I didn't expect you to be nothing special, it turned out that you were also one of those people." ”
Did this man misunderstand something? Think I'm in league with those mysterious people?
Gegill frowned, but he didn't explain it clearly, but turned his head and glanced around, this place was not far from the planned location, those people should have heard the movement of the conversation between the two of them, and probably ran over themselves, right?
Just as Gegil was thinking this, at the end of his field of vision, as if someone was secretly giving him a hint, Gegill was immediately stunned, and then a rich and malicious smile appeared again on his dark and thin face, which looked slightly hideous and terrifying.
"Now that you've seen everything, I don't need to continue to hide it, you can stay here and enjoy the delicious meal I prepared for you, and don't think about going back to rescue the city gate, because it's too late, if you can survive after tonight, then maybe we will have a chance to fight in the future."
Gegill bowed his head to Rex as she spoke, then turned around and left the place with a hard jump.
And this time, Rex didn't catch up, because he could feel that a rich and clear killing intent began to permeate the surroundings, and even the knight under his crotch could feel the killing intent that was obviously aimed at this person, and began to snort with a fighting intent and kick the horse's hooves.
This is the center point of a convergence of five or six twisted streets, the surrounding area is remote and quiet, even in the dense houses do not seem to have many residents living in it, and in the dark night, with Rex as the center point, black figures began to emerge from the darkness all around, and a pair of sharp eyes like knives focused on Rex's body.
Rex was not afraid of this kind of battle, but took a moment to draw his long sword from his waist, and on the slender blade, the snow light flowed like a clear stream.
"Isn't there anyone who can come out and talk to me?" Rex asked.
He was answered by silence and a gaze condensed with murderous intent.
Rex smiled coldly, reached out and took out a mask from his horse's bag, and solemnly put it on his face.
The demon-like gray mask, which is also one of the iconic items of the Demon Hunter Knight, is rarely taken out, because once this mask is worn, it means blood and killing.
The battle started in an instant.
After Rex chased Gergil away, Poluff went under the opening of the city gate under the pretext that he needed to be bandaged on his chest.
Although his status is far higher than that of the city defenders, unlike the night stalkers of North Sunderland, Lorenzo's mirrored spies are not allowed to participate in the military.
It's not that they can't participate in military operations, on the contrary, whether it's North Sendran or Lorenço, many military operations need spies to provide intelligence, but the spies of the people in the mirror are not allowed by the royal family and nobles to obtain the right to military command, so even if Poluff's status is far higher than that of the non-commissioned officer of the city defense army, he has no command of the city defense army at all.
However, his superficial identity is only the captain of a ten-man team, that is, with Lorenzo's position, no matter what Poruf does, he can only command ten soldiers at most.
However, if it is replaced by another identity that does not belong to Lorenzo, then there are many people he can command.
After briefly bandaging the wound on his chest, Poruf called the supreme commander of the city's defenders.
"Open the gates."
Without the slightest hesitation, Poruv said directly to the non-commissioned officer.
"W-What?" The non-commissioned officer thought he had misheard, and immediately stared at Poluff with wide eyes.
"Didn't you hear clearly? I said open the gates. Poluf continued to say things that shocked the non-commissioned officer.
"How can it be opened, Poluff, what the hell are you talking about?" The non-commissioned officer shouted, then suddenly remembered something and stared at him in disbelief. "Poluff, are you?"
"If you don't open it, then let me do it myself."
With a strange smile on his face, Poluff already clutched the horned dagger in his hand and stabbed the non-commissioned officer in the chest hard.
