Chapter 2: The Roar of the Tiger
Since it was Leng Jin's plan, Roy naturally couldn't object.
After all, the training of the Order of Knights is an extremely professional job.
Compared to these old knights of Farrington who have fought all their lives, let alone themselves, the entire Salvation Continent combined, there are not a few people who are stronger than them.
Moreover, his own knight group has almost wiped out the essence of the mercenary world in the south of the redemption continent.
Such force, in this era, is not used to show its strength.
They belong to the whole human race.
In the future, they will go north to fight the demons and fight for the right to survive for humanity.
It will be a war in which there is only a room for retreat. It is a matter of life and death, a matter of survival and intermittentness, and it is not too cautious to be cautious.
Taking the time to exterminate the bandits in the neighborhood as actual combat training is the best way for a team that needs to be trained urgently.
But......
The meeting ended, and Garrison Hatton left.
Roy and the old knights come out of their tents and take a walk in Twilight Sand at night.
Before they knew it, they were walking up the steps to the east of the town and up the earthen walls that surrounded the town.
The tents of the Knights were set up in a clearing near the city walls. The knights, who had lit a bonfire in the tents, bathed, had eaten a good meal, and even had two drinks at the town tavern, were now chatting and laughing around the campfire.
In a little while, it's time to turn off the lights and go to bed.
Roy stared at the army in front of him.
In less than a week, the team that set off from Muni City already had the atmosphere of an army.
The casual aura of the mercenaries has faded a lot in these knights.
Although all the knights were at last able to rest and have fun after a hard march, after a hard march, they were like prisoners of the wind, but they only took a bath, went to the town tavern for a drink or two, and returned to camp before night.
Looking at them around the tent at this moment, it is hard for you to believe that they were once mercenaries who drank and gambled all night after handing in the task, and lived without moderation and regularity.
They look. There is still their characteristic unruliness.
But this breath is peeling away from the scattering and precipitating, like a sharp blade hidden in a scabbard. It's no longer sharp, but it's more dangerous.
Roy had no doubt that they would be able to train this team into a well-trained army.
But that's been too long.
"Does it have to be more than ten days?" Roy crouched on the wall and turned his head to look at the old knights, "I mean, it's just to suppress bandits, it shouldn't be too difficult, can the time be shorter?"
"Young Master is worried about Banderz, right?" asked Rook.
Roy nodded.
Now, every day, the Falcon brings news from Adolf's intelligence channels.
The Demon Warriors are extremely fast.
On the map, the black arrows representing them are moving south every day, getting closer and closer to Banderz.
Besides, putting aside the horror of the demons, just talking about the huge refugee flow is already an unprecedented disaster.
In front of the demon soldiers, the people along the way fled with their families and mouths. The huge flow of refugees, like mudslides, swept away and destroyed everything in its path.
It is said that several noble territories have been conquered by mobs that have developed from the wave of refugees before they have seen the demons.
And among these mobs, there are desperate young people, bandits who take advantage of the fire to rob, and even nobles and their armies who have fled from the north.
Countless people starved to death and froze to death on the side of the road, and countless people fell under the butcher's knives of the mob.
Someone who saw the sight described that there was not even tree bark left where the refugees had passed. And the hunger all over the ground fed the wild dogs and wolves.
Vultures flock in the sky, and crows cover the sky.
The land of salvation was originally barren and bitter, and the ecology was fragile. This makes matters worse.
Transporting a cart of grain from Lulian to the north, not to mention transporting it to the northern frontier, can increase the price dozens of times just to the imperial capital.
This was the result of His Majesty Edward's severe crackdown on hoarding, and the strong support of grain-producing provinces like Loulian.
If one day, even Lulian's food will start to run short......
No one dared to imagine that outcome.
Besides, aside from the price of food, and the demons, just talk about the bandits and city-states in the chaotic land that is close at hand, which is a big stone in Roy's heart.
Even if there is Karenich, there is Percy, there is a bandit army, and there are nineteen sets of power storms...... Can you block it once or twice, and can you block it ten or twenty times?
The outlaws in the Land of Chaos are all wolves!
If they don't eat meat, they won't be reconciled.
Looking at Roy, who looked worried, the old knights looked at each other, and they were all a little silent.
They knew Roy's worries, and they knew what Bendez meant to their young master. Truth be told, they don't want to be delayed on the road if it's not necessary.
They wanted to go north as much as Roy.
Because there's Farrington, there's their home, their relatives, their friends, and everything in their lives. They wandered for more than ten years, and finally found Roy, and this moment has long been like an arrow.
Moreover, the invasion of demons will also face a major choice for Farrington.
Since the demons captured the Holy City and marched into the land of redemption through where, the confinement imposed on the Knights of Farrington three hundred years ago has been automatically lifted.
Now it was up to Farington to choose whether to hold on to the fortress or retreat to the Continent of Redemption.
No one knew what the decision of the regiment was.
And in the case of the old Duke Roland who is deeply trapped in the Holy See, the most qualified to make this decision now is actually the little young master beside him.
This decision will not only determine Farrington's future, but will also affect the situation on the entire continent.
For the old knights, that's all that matters.
However, no matter how much you want to go back, the situation of the Knights of the Southern Cross is also a problem in front of you. What can you do when you lead such a group of guerrillas who have not received war training, do not understand the fighting methods and rules of the army, and have not been tempered?
This is the most essential part of the mercenary world in the south of the Solan Empire.
If such a good piece of steel is not made into a sharp sword, can it be smashed as a stone?
That's a crime!
After a long time, Leng Jin spoke: "Roy, have you ever seen the demon clan?"
Roy blinked.
He really wanted to tell Leng Jin that he had not only seen it, but also practiced with these guys every day, and he didn't know how many demons he had killed in the ruling world.
If those demons were real, Roy felt that he had slaughtered at least several cities by himself.
But this is naturally impossible to say.
He shook his head.
Leng Jin said: "There are eight major races in the Demon Clan, and the strongest of them is the Imperial Clan. As for the other races, some of them invaded the Avalon continent with the royal family from their original plane, and some of them were joined by our own continent. ”
"These races, all of them, are different. But each one is not easy to deal with. ”
"If it's just one or two demons alone, then there's no problem. They are also strong and weak, and everyone can rely on their strength. But it's not so simple to face the demon army......"
As he spoke, he paused and asked, "Do you know which type of force has the strongest impact in the world?"
Roy was stunned.
Even children know this question.
You must know that the human knights are recognized as the number one in terms of impact power, especially the cluster charge of the knights, which are like a torrent of steel, invincible.
When the magical civilization fell, it was the rise of knightly tactics that human beings continued to this day.
However, since Leng Jin asked this question, the answer will obviously not be so simple.
Sure enough, Leng Jin said: "Everyone in the world thinks that the most impactful class in the world is our Terran knight, but few people know that the real strongest is the royal knight of the demon race." ”
Roy was surprised, "Really?"
He really didn't know that.
In the world of judgment, he follows the dwarves to fight on the hills, the sword spirits to fight in the castle streets, the bow spirits to run in the mountains and forests, and the shield spirits to fight in the arena......
But these battles are all foot battles, and there are very few demon royals encountered.
It wasn't until the Spear Spirit Realm was opened that he really met the royal knights of the Demon Clan.
These knights, like human knights, wore heavy armor and sat down with a variety of riding beasts. The only difference is that they have long, braided tentacles on the back of their heads, which are connected to the seated beasts.
At that time, watching the spear spirit fight, one person killed the demon race, so Roy didn't think these demon knights were so powerful.
Unexpectedly, Leng Jin actually said that they were the most impactful troops in the world.
But now that he thinks about it, Roy feels that it is really biased to judge his opponent by a pervert like an axe spirit and a spear spirit.
"Yes," Leng Jin said seriously, "we have been fighting them for three hundred years, and we know them better than anyone else. ”
He explained with a serious expression: "According to the level of the human knights, an ordinary demon royal cavalry is already above the five major knights of the Solan Empire. And if it were their elite Knights, a single brigade would be able to challenge the Templars head-on. ”
Roy's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in shock, "So strong?"
Bai He on the side nodded and said, "It's not that we are arrogant, the demon royal family is indeed very strong." It is not modest to say that among the human knights, we are the only ones who can compete with them head-on-one in a one-on-one situation. ”
Leng Jin said: "The most terrifying thing is that among the demon royal family, there is also a Guard Knights. It was a personal guard belonging to the Demon Emperor. The combat effectiveness is unparalleled in the world. When the demons invaded the Avalon Continent, this army fought from the east to the Broken Sky Mountain Range, although the number of battles was not much, but every battle was victorious, and it was never defeated. ”
Hearing this, Roy couldn't help but gasp.
The Farrington Knight is invincible in the world, and it has always been the consensus of everyone in the continent. I didn't expect that the knights of the demon clan were also so terrifying.
What's even more terrifying is that the human race has been struggling to survive in the Salvation Continent for three hundred years, and Farrington is already the strongest force. But the demons have a large number of soldiers, and their strength is far above that of humans.
The two fight for consumption, that is a dead end!
"And in addition to the Demon Clan, several other races should not be underestimated. They have unique tactics, and many things ......" He turned his head to look at the barracks under the city walls, and sighed, "I'm afraid you haven't even seen it." ”
The atmosphere was silent for a while.
Rook said to Roy, "Young Master, now you know why we are staying here, right? These knights under your command are all fine in terms of personal strength. But they still have a long way to go if they want to become a strong army against the demons, which will take a lot of time and also need to fight. ”
"Actually, we can also go north directly," Leng Jin suddenly spoke, "There are many bandit city-states in the Land of Chaos that can be used to sharpen their knives for us. However, in the land of chaos for a hundred years, everyone is an outlaw. If we don't do it gradually, the casualties will be very high......"
Roy frowned, and suddenly asked, "If we can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the Knights in a short period of time, then will we be able to sharpen our knives against the bandits of the Chaos Lands?"
The old knights looked at each other in surprise, and Leng Jin nodded, "Of course." ”
Roy laughed.
In that case, things will be settled.
There are many types of human knights. Many knights have their own unique tactics.
For example, the knights of the Holy See, there are a large number of magicians pressing the formation, and their knights are injured in front of them, as long as they are not fatal on the spot, they can quickly recover through divine arts, and the combat power reserve is several times that of ordinary knights.
And some knights, equipped with heavy armor, and their mounts are all terrain dragons. Once the impact is launched, the momentum is simply overwhelming and unstoppable.
Roy had been thinking about this army since the day he formed the Knights of the Southern Cross.
And now, it's time to give the answer.
As instructors of this army, the old knights need to know about a full form of the Knights of the Southern Cross.
Facing the eyes of the old knights, Roy raised a finger: "First of all, don't forget, our Southern Cross Knights are not ordinary knights. It's a Celestial Transformation Knights!"
The old knights all nodded.
This is naturally clear to everyone. It's just that more than a thousand knights are more than a thousand sets of heavenly transformation magic costumes. Not to mention how long it takes the young master to manufacture, it is difficult to get the magic gold armor that is used as a raw material alone.
It is said that Miss Tracy of the Golden Skull Auction House is buying it all over the world. And the dwarven tribes of Lulian are also producing with the help of Adolf.
But it takes time.
However, just when everyone was thinking like this, they saw Roy raise a second finger: "Secondly, what I haven't had time to tell you is that we are still a Warcraft Knights." ”
As he spoke, Roy soared into the air and landed like a meteor on the barren and vast land outside the city.
When the magic moon is in the sky, Roy's figure, on the boundless Gobi, is just a small black dot. I don't know why, at this moment, the old knights suddenly felt a throbbing in their hearts, and they all held their breath.
Even the Southern Cross knights in the military camp in the city seemed to feel something, and they all stood up and looked at the city wall.
And it didn't take long for the old knights to see that an absolute black like a black hole engulfed Roy's figure. Instantly, a little light shone from the black.
When Roy's figure reappeared, a huge door of light had already appeared in front of him.
"It's ......"
Before everyone came back to their senses, they only heard a tiger roar, and a huge white figure flew out from the light gate, spreading its wings and soaring in the sky.
But that's just the beginning.
In the next second, countless demonic beasts surged out of the light gate.
It's like a volcanic eruption.
Golden-winged Tiger, Golden Fire Lion, Firewing Flying Bear, Golden-eyed Lei Peng flying and hovering in the sky, Snow Demon Elephant, Silver Armor Tyrannosaurus Rex, Hidden Demon Leopard, and Ant Poison Lizard run on the ground, shaking the earth.
Behind them, there were countless fifth- and sixth-order demonic beasts, pouring out like a tide.
The old knights were already confused.
Everyone stood on the city wall in a daze, like sculptures.
And behind them, the entire town of Twilight Sands had been blown up. The soldiers rushed to and fro, and the merchants, guards, and mercenaries in the inns all rushed into the streets.
"Beast tide!
A terrible roar, along with the sound of alarm bells, rang out in the night.
According to the history books, it was the first appearance of the Knights of the Southern Cross Warcraft army, which later made people talk about it.
At that time, the blood moon was in the sky, the earth shook, and the tiger roared and the dragon groaned.
