Chapter 219: Romario, the lone wolf
The militiaman, who had been stabbed in the vest with a javelin, fell, and his screams instantly pierced the silent forest avenue.
This sound also seemed to kick off the attack, and nearly a hundred javelins were shot out from the woods on the right, covering the fifth brigade like a dark cloud.
A few more unlucky ones who reacted slowly were shot, and their terrible howls and bleeding appearance directly frightened the militiamen who had not experienced any fighting, except for some clever ghosts who knew how to hide behind the truck, and more of them were running around.
"Don't mess up, form a formation to defend!" Jovic was also taken aback by the sneak attack, and no longer cared about blackmailing Downton, he hurriedly scolded the militia and let the cavalry charge in the direction of the enemy formation to disperse them.
The archers are jishu troops, and they can't be used to protect the logistics team, so Rokel left a cavalry, but he couldn't immediately suppress the enemy's spear attacks.
The elemental arm immediately sent out the huge warrior tower shield.
"Celestia dismount, Hu Tao come!" Downton grabbed with one hand, protecting Celestia while observing the battle.
Judging from the number of throwing guns in a wave of the opponent, the number of enemies is about a hundred, their shooting skills are very good, and the hit rate is kept at about one-third, but it's a pity that the material of the throwing guns is too bad, so except for a dozen or so unlucky ghosts who died, the rest were wounded.
But the screaming was too loud, which made the morale drop even more.
Jovic was going to be angry, who said that the bandits would not take the initiative to attack, but fortunately, when the cavalry rushed out, the other side immediately stopped the offensive and apparently withdrew.
Looking at the dozens of wailing militiamen, everyone's faces were not good-looking.
"What are you doing in a daze? What about the medics, treat their injuries!" Jovic rode his horse, running back and forth, checking on the damage.
The enemy's throwing spears are all made of camphor wood. After sharpening into spikes, applying a plant sap can harden the texture and increase some lethality, but it is still far from being compared to iron weapons.
This is also weishenme, the enemy knew that those wearing armor were officers and did not attack. Instead, the militiamen who only wore ordinary clothes were chosen as targets.
It's too bad to pierce the armor.
"Sir, there are eight hundred men hunting. The adjutant hurried over and reported to Campana that if a commoner died, he would die, but if he died a nobleman, there would be more trouble afterwards.
"Send someone to find them, bastards, who let them run around?" Campana cursed. He forgot that he had almost gone hunting.
The militiamen, who had not yet recovered from the fright, were reluctant to enter the woods, nor did the cavalry, which made Campana furious, and just as he was about to force the soldiers to enter, the nobles rushed out of the woods on their horses.
The servants without mounts ran wildly, but they still lagged behind, and one scream after another rang out, tormenting the nerves of the people.
"Help. It's Romario, a lone wolf!"
The aristocratic son at the head roared with tears on his face, and his words were like a mace. It slammed the militiamen's heads so hard that everyone froze, and even Campana and Jovic's expressions changed.
Romario is a thief on the same level as Tyson, known as a lone wolf because of a loner, but his combat effectiveness is definitely not bad.
He once slaughtered a caravan of 200 men alone. On the bounty list, the bounty is as high as fifteen thousand Jinderan.
A red Texas red wolf, the size of a war horse, carried a middle-aged werewolf in leather armor with a scimitar in each hand. As they rushed past the servants, they didn't see any movement, their heads had been cut off, and pillars of blood rose to the sky.
It was the first time Serex had seen a werewolf wolf, and they looked the same as humans, except for a gray tail on their buttocks.
Everyone clenched their weapons as if they were facing a great enemy.
Romario removed a fishing net from his saddle and threw it with a wave of his hand.
Well, the fishing net spread out in the air like a blooming flower, catching up with a nobleman more than thirty meters away and trapping him.
The unlucky nobleman lost his balance and fell down all at once.
"This is a net-throwing, the werewolf cavalry's specialty, and it is said that the most powerful Wolf warriors can throw a net to capture a griffin knight at a height of three hundred meters. Homer took the opportunity to explain to Downton, "This werewolf should be a retired soldier, and he may have served as an officer." ”
The reputation of the lone wolf is too great, and the aristocratic hundred people who were caught in the net shouted, but no one dared to save him, as for Downton, he didn't do anything with a hot face and a cold ass.
Under the gaze of more than a thousand eyes, Romario calmly rode in front of the nobles, cut off his head, picked it up with a scimitar, and retreated into the forest as if he were holding the banner of victory.
"Count you smart!" came an orc whisper in a Rossy-accented voice from the woods, followed by a wave of throwing guns.
Campana let out a sigh of relief, if he had just ordered to take the opportunity to hunt down the lone wolf, he would have fallen into the trap.
"What the hell is going on?weishenme Tyson still has such a high spear shooter under his command?" Jovic roared, suddenly realizing that this time the bandit operation might not be as smooth as before.
Sure enough, the lone wolf and the bandits who didn't know what their identities were, did not leave, and would harass the logistics team with their guns every once in a while.
The queue to transport supplies was too long, the combat effectiveness of the militia was negligible, and the cavalry of only a hundred people was exhausted.
"It's not the way to go on like this, send flares, ask for reinforcements!" Jovic wiped his sweat, "Otherwise, when the cavalry is dragged down, those attacks will be even more unscrupulous." ”
"Hmm!" Campana also knew that the matter was urgent, and told the herald to quickly shoot a magic flare, and then he looked at Downton, "Why don't you let him rush with someone?"
"I'm on it too, I'm going to catch up with those bastards this time!" Jovic was young, eager to make a mark, and arrogant, thinking that his cavalry could crush the enemies as long as they caught up with them.
Any general knows that on the plains, the cavalry will always have an overwhelming advantage over the light infantry, which is why the enemy did not storm the logistics team, they were afraid of this cavalry, so they used fatigue tactics.
"The Seventh and Eighth Brigades are temporarily responsible for transporting supplies from the Sixth Brigade, Downton, take your men and charge with Chief Jovic next time!"
As soon as Campana's words were finished, the Sixth Brigade immediately erupted in an uproar.
"Weishenme? Doesn't the militia have to go to war?"
"That's right, Weishenme doesn't choose another brigade?"
These slippery heads were paid to serve in the military for others, but they didn't think about going to the battlefield to fight.
"Shut up, the country needs you, if you disobey, you will be dealt with by military law!" Jovic drew his saber and glared fiercely.
The other militia all had an attitude of not caring about themselves, but they were glad to have escaped, and they would not help these people at all.
"It's all Downton's fault, if he hadn't offended the chief, we wouldn't have been named!"
Under the pressure of death, several of the did not choose to speak, and although the others did not speak, they looked at Downton with unfriendly eyes.
Downton didn't bother to think about it and released Quasimodo.
The thorns shut up and took a step back, it was really Quasimodo's appearance that was too visually oppressive, with a burly body of five meters, wrapped in heavy heavy armor, and looked like a steel golem.
Campana and Jovic's eyeballs also jumped, they didn't expect Downton to have such a powerful demon servant in addition to ghouls, seeing that this guy's face was full of centipede-like stitch formations, it should be an abomination warrior.
"Protect Celence, anyone who dares to enter within five meters of her will be killed!" Downton's voice was loud, just to warn those with bad intentions.
"No, take it with you, so that even if we meet Romario, we will have the strength to fight. Jovic refused, staring at Quasimodo as if he had seen the head of a lone wolf and a lot of military exploits.
"You'd better think about how to entangle those spear shooters with cavalry!" Downton disdained, he estimated that this time the charge was also thunderous and rainy.
Jovic's fighting spirit is very high, but the cavalry don't have this mind, as veteran oilers, they want to save their lives more than being promoted and getting rich.
"Help me put on my armor!"
It was time to charge, and Downton didn't dare to hold it up, and the space around him fluctuated like water ripples, and then the elemental arm took the parts of the Order Set and handed it out, attaching it to him.
"What is this?"
Everyone around them looked at Downton in shock, it was the first time they had seen such a way of armor, and then there was a deep envy and jealousy on the faces of Jovic and Campana.
Weishenme A commoner would have this kind of equipment? This thought entered the eyes of the two nobles almost at the same time, they wanted to take the opportunity to kill Downton, and then seize his things, anyway, this is a battlefield, it is too normal to die one or two people.
"Hmph, I still want to kill you!" If they want to kill themselves, they must choose a place that is inaccessible and minimize the number of witnesses, and Downton would like to do the same, there are fewer people, and with the abomination warrior, he is enough to annihilate a hundred-man team.
"Hu Tao, protect Celence!" Seeing that little Lori was also clamoring to put on armor, Downton hurriedly persuaded her.
"Don't, I'm going to rush to kill!" Hu Tao refused, as a violent Lori, staying behind was not in line with her character.
"Obedient!" Downton frowned.
"Okay!" Seeing that Downton was angry, Hu Tao pouted and nodded.
After thinking about it, Downton was still not at ease, so he simply left ten more ghouls.
"I'm Deboro, how many troops do you have?" Campana asked, half emotionally, half tentatively, but unfortunately only waited for Downton to ignore the back of his head.
"It's good to show some strength, so that those ordinary soldiers will have some concerns when they follow the commander to deal with Downton. Homer rarely gives advice in order to develop Downton's decisiveness, even if it is wrong, it is experience. (To be continued......)
