Chapter 5 First
As soon as he heard that Scarlett had been blocked outside the blockade for five days, Hatton's sweat came down at once.
He knew the temper and style of His Royal Highness the county lord.
At that moment, Hatton hurriedly explained how he hurriedly ran up the city wall after hearing the screams that night, how he saw the unprecedented tide of terrifying beasts, and finally how he found out that these demonic beasts were all followers of Leo...... The whole process is told one by one.
Scarlett and Ralph were dumbfounded.
"That guy...... When did there become so many Warcraft battle pets, so much so that people even thought that there was a beast tide!"
"It's unbelievable!"
Scarlett and Ralph can be said to have witnessed the birth of the Knights of the Southern Cross.
When they were in the Demon Abyss, these mercenaries didn't know anyone, and they were even competitors to each other. It was later that he fell into the trap of the devil and was saved by Leo, so everyone gathered together and fought side by side.
And later, the conscription battle in Muni City finally appeared in the costume of Adolf's hundred Heavenly Transformation Knights, and the exposure of Leo's lone wolf demon pattern master, this knight group was born.
From beginning to end, this knight group has nothing to do with Warcraft, and everyone usually in the Knights has not even seen a single Warcraft hair.
But now......
"And then, what happened to the bandits?" asked Scarlett.
"This is the result of the training of the Knights of the Southern Cross," Hatton said with a wry smile, "At first, they were going to stay here for half a month to train their knights in actual combat against bandits. ”
Ralph nodded.
For a knight order, combat training is undoubtedly the fastest and most efficient way.
The lack of discipline of the mercenaries, their understanding of the very different combat styles and norms, as well as their familiarity and execution in terms of formations and combat coordination, can all be quickly improved through actual combat training.
This will be far more memorable than training in a barracks with yelling and punishing.
As far as Lulian, who is currently calm, these bandit groups in the Gobi in the north are just natural sparring partners. Their strength will not be too bad, and they will not be too strong. Coupled with the fact that they are all full of evil, it has always been a chronic disease for Lulian, so there will be no burden to start.
What's more...... These robbers have been plundering for many years, and they have accumulated an unknown amount of wealth in their hands. Knocking one out means a windfall.
Targeting these bandits is a recipe for killing several birds with one stone.
Hatton continued: "However, Count Leo seems to feel that half a month is too long, so he has recruited these demonic beasts...... The Holy Emperor is above, I have never seen such obedient demonic beasts, they are simply natural war pets. ”
Hatton's expression became agitated when he said this.
"Lord Ralph, if you were standing on the wall, you would be as unbelievable as I am. They trained outside the city for two days. Two days, just two days, I saw with my own eyes that the team had changed, and it had become terrifying......"
"No, no, they were already terrifying, but when those monsters melted into their midst...... Sorry, I can't describe it. Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't be their enemy in death. ”
"In the beginning, each knight was only equipped with one Demonic Beast, and the most was a sixth-order. There are also quite a few seventh-order and eighth-order demonic beasts. But then, more monsters were incorporated. ”
"Especially those hundreds of glory knights, one person brought five or six demonic beasts, as well as their elves and magicians, all of whom possessed demonic beasts. They even formed a battalion of ironclad terrain dragon knights, and equipped the dwarven heavy warriors with snow golems as mounts......"
"I'm also a knight, but if I lead the army against them, I can't even think of a way for my horses to overcome their fear and get close to them, let alone charge. I estimate that as soon as they move, my position will collapse, and ordinary war horses will not be able to withstand that kind of breath at all. ”
In the early morning of the fourth day, they departed. Divided into a dozen brigades, they entered the Gobi. ”
"Because I needed to assist with logistics and escort prisoners, I sent my captain of the guard, who saw everything with his own eyes. Are you going to call him? Okay, I said the same anyway......"
"To put it simply, it was a massacre. The Gobi may be mysterious and dangerous to ordinary people, but for them with the help of elven hunters and those magical beasts, it is like their own back garden. They found the bandits with ease. ”
"They're like cats and mice, training the bandits. Only one-tenth of the bandits' troops were committed at a time. ”
"With the Holy Emperor on top, the captain of my guard came back and told me that he had hated the bandits to death, and that he wanted to arrest them all and burn them at the stake. But that day, he actually felt some sympathy for those bandits......"
In less than ten prayers, the five bandits closest to Dusk Sand were wiped out, and then they continued their march into the depths of the Gobi, exterminating a total of thirteen bandits. In the past two days, countless bandits have been escorted from the depths of the Gobi, and I have had to consult the Grand Duke and execute some of the most heinous fellows. ”
As he spoke, Hatton looked in the direction of the prisoner with a sad face, "But that's it, it's also overcrowded here. The Grand Duke has already sent his troops, and I just hope that they will not be sluggish on the road, and that they will get these fellows away from me and send them to the mines, and give them a few whips......"
Scarlett and Ralph didn't listen to Hatton's complaints, and they just stared at each other in shock.
After a moment, Scarlett turned and walked towards the carriage.
"Go find a hotel, I'm going to take a shower. She commanded, "Ralph, prepare my horse for me." ”
"Miss Ma, ...... you," Ralph asked.
"I can't follow behind like that," Scarlett turned her head and looked at Ralph, "Ralph, you know what I'm trying to do, don't you? ”
"Miss, you're ......," Ralph sweated profusely.
"Catch up and join the Knights of the Southern Cross. Scarlett bit her lip and said, "As long as I can tie him to the family, I am willing to pay any price!"
After bathing, changing her long skirt into a long coat, cloak, and breeches, Scarlett galloped out of the city, surrounded by Ralph and twelve knights of the guard.
Two days later, the group finally saw the procession meandering in the plains below on the top of the mountain deep in the Gobi.
The moment they saw this team, everyone fell into a dead silence.
Viewed from above, the Gobi is desolate and vast.
On the distant horizon, the sunset is like blood. The fiery red clouds, with the howling wind blowing in from afar, one after another, constantly changing shapes and colors.
On the ground, the dust and sand are blown into the shape of waves by the wind. Occasionally, the wind rolls up and violently rolls the dust and sand into the sky, forming pillars of sand that swim.
The team was moving between the pillars of sand.
Their formation was so neat that even the pace of their horses was the same. The wind tore at their banners and raised their towers. The setting sun lit their spears and reddened their armor.
And beside them, there are countless kinds of demonic beasts.
Bears, apes, lions, wolves, foxes, monitor lizards, giant elephants, tigers and leopards, terrain dragons......
Fifth-order, sixth-order, seventh-order, eighth-order ......
Thousands of demonic beasts of all kinds moved across the earth like black clouds.
With their steps, the earth trembled and dust flew up. In the distance, there are wild beasts living in the Gobi, scattering and fleeing.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone really understood the meaning of the word "terrible" that was repeatedly mentioned in Hatton's words.
"The Holy Land is above," one of the guard knights said, swallowing hard, "the lowest ones are the three-eyed bears." ”
The crowd watched in silence at the herd. In the midst of it, at least a thousand three-eyed bears were slowly moving forward with their large, fat bodies.
Everyone knows that an adult three-eyed bear weighs five tons. When the person stands up, it is nearly four meters tall. The huge bear paw has unparalleled power, and with a single palm, it can break a large tree surrounded by two people.
If it's a slap on the head, it's easier than a watermelon.
And their teeth and claws are also terrible weapons. Armor made of fine iron is as fragile as a paper shell under their claws.
Normally, this irascible fifth-order demonic beast was very difficult to catch, and even more difficult to tame.
The price of a three-eyed bear cub in the market is enough to cost tens of thousands of gold Lulang, and it takes seven or eight years to domesticate it and become a qualified war pet. The elimination rate is close to 90 percent.
Today, there are thousands of them.
What's even more terrifying is that they are only the lowest-level of these magical beasts.
"How did he do it?" murmured Ralph.
"Let's go," Scarlett turned her horse's head, "this is a question that best for him to ask in person!"
However, what Scarlett didn't expect was that when they finally went down the hill after a prayer and caught up with the group, they were greeted only by a few old knights.
"I'm sorry, Miss Scarlett, Leo is gone. ”
"He has some things to attend to, and he needs to rush to the north first. ”
