Chapter 369: For Jason Lopez
More than 2,000 soldiers, most of them wounded, had assembled in the open space in the center of the barracks in the shortest possible time.
Some of them had not had time to wipe the blood off their armour, because they had just undergone a baptism of war yesterday afternoon.
The soldiers under the command of Baron Donte were like crazy, they would attack every day with their troops, sometimes for their lives.
Other times, they just came to go around in a circle, and before the two sides had time to put in all their forces, they hurriedly retreated, as if they were squeezing their mental state little by little.
Faced with this situation, Roland's army did not dare to pursue them, for fear of encountering an ambush, and once that situation arose, their persistence for so long would be in vain.
And now their strength against the army of the Baron Dontes is getting weaker and weaker, because the equipment of war such as catapults, ballistas, and ballistas has been almost poured out in the previous days.
The last special crossbow arrows and polished boulders were also sealed by Roland's order, waiting for today's final decisive battle.
"Today we are facing the most critical moment of this war, because just now, our enemies have gathered all their armies and are about to launch a general decisive battle against us, and whatever the outcome, I hope you don't blame me. ”
Roland stood on the high platform, glanced around the soldiers with resolute expressions, and the unconcealable exhaustion in the depths of their eyes, and said with some guilt, because he made the decision to stay and continue to stop Baron Donte.
It was he who pushed these soldiers to the brink of life and death.
He wasn't a crazy war maniac like Leonidas, he was a paladin, and his heart was full of pity for the weak.
"We can fight them back so many times, and we can continue to defeat them this time!" he said shortly after a soldier suddenly shouted loudly.
"Yes, yes, we can still beat them!"
"We're going to shove the heads of those pussy bitches into their asses!"
"Hahaha!" The group of soldiers laughed there like a group of old rascals, completely ignoring their superiors' faces that were about to turn black to the bottom of the pot.
But Roland, who was standing on the high platform, didn't pay attention to their behavior, because their jokes washed away the heaviness that hung over the soldiers' hearts a lot.
Many people's tense heartstrings also unconsciously relaxed, and they couldn't help but show a slightly stiff smile.
"Yes, we will definitely defeat them again, because we are invincible!"
Roland took a deep breath, took out the holy sword Durandal that he was wearing on his waist and raised it high, the dazzling light bloomed violently, and a powerful aura surged out wildly, not like Leonida's terrifying momentum, but there was a gentle light, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
Suddenly, all the soldiers seemed to have received a great encouragement, and there were two powerful earth knights in their barracks!
"Invincible!"
"Invincible!"
"Invincible!" all the soldiers drew their weapons and roared to the sky.
The roar of anger could be heard clearly for several miles, and the enemy soldiers in the enemy camp far away heard this roar, and their faces suddenly changed slightly, and they couldn't help but have a trace of timidity in their hearts.
"For Jason Lopez!
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Get out of camp and get ready for battle!"
Seeing everyone's faces flush and roaring loudly, Roland nodded slightly, and then pointed his sword, and all the soldiers walked out of the barracks neatly under the leadership of his commander.
"Hurry up, pull our big guys out! Pull them out of the barracks and pack them up!"
While Roland was busy gathering his army, Pym led more than a hundred people to an area covered with waterproof cloths, and hurriedly dragged out the ballistas and other equipment that were covered underneath.
This man who laughed and talked about life and death without changing his face was really in a good state now, he had to rest for a while when he walked a few steps now, and half of his left arm was actually empty now.
He had been attacked by an enemy soldier in a battle that day, and had been slashed near the elbow joint of his arm, and if it weren't for the fact that the enemy was quickly repulsed, and Roland had used his extraordinary strength to pull him back from the clutches of death, he would not have been able to stand here at this time.
However, Pym, who was missing half an arm, could not continue to lead his troops into battle to kill the enemy, but in order not to waste such a capable general, Roland arranged him in the rear to be responsible for commanding these war machines.
Although Pym could no longer kill with a knife, he did not disappoint Roland, and the entire logistics and war machine force was well managed by him.
"It seems that your friend is very capable. ”
In the distance, behind a hillside in the north, Siegfried rode a war horse and listened to the sound that was gradually coming from this side, and he seemed to be able to feel the turbulent momentum from so far away.
"When it's delayed, it's as wide as Ruolan!" replied Astolfo, sitting cross-legged on the back of the eagle, clutching a roast rabbit in his hand and nibbling on it.
"Paladin Roland, I'd love to meet him now. ”
Siegfried looked up into the distance and muttered to himself that he had obtained information from Hassan about all the important masters under Jason's command that night.
Since then, he has always admired this paladin Roland, and wants to meet him.
"Astolfo, order the army to be drawn up, the war will soon begin. ”
"Understood!" Astolford said as he threw the rabbit in his hand to the eagle, and then jumped off its back and ran towards the army that was resting not far away.
There were nearly 2,000 half-armored cavalry there, although they were not heavy armored cavalry, but the power of their charge was still terrifying.
They were all selected by Jason from among the best soldiers under his command, in order to be able to deliver the deadliest blow from Baron Donte in this battle.
And instead of lurking from the rear of the army of the Baron of Dontes, they made a long detour to the north to avoid being discovered by his scouts.
Because Siegfried's purpose was to crush the army, not to join up with Roland to stop him.
It's just that what he and Roland don't know is that the army they are dealing with now is no longer led by Baron Donter, and he has been deprived of power by the group of nobles.
