0079. Out of the City (Part II)

If we don't destroy it, we'll face an almost never-ending enemy, and even if the final victory is ours, it will only be a crushing victory, leaving only a few remnants of the army and a castle in ruins. ”

"It's too dangerous to march in the long night, especially now that most of the garrisons are militia. ”

"It's better than a long death. ”

"Alright, I see what you mean. ”

Lloyd patted Hodge on the shoulder vigorously, who knows what happened to this pair of palms, the burst of force almost made his bones fall apart, I really wonder if Lloyd was angry and wanted to kill someone......

"It's just that it's useless for us to talk too much here, and the movement of the army still has to be under the command of the above after all. ”

"That's right. Hodge agrees, "It's just small talk." ”

......

"Can't wait any longer. ”

Dunbar broke the quill pen in his hand and said sharply: "The number of enemies is far more than I expected, the number of mutants that have been hunted has reached four hundred, and obviously judging from the siege situation, the number of these mutants is still growing rapidly, and if we stick to the city, we will be exhausted!"

"Your so-called mutation survival rate doesn't look right. "He's questioning Sossi.

"It's a mistake of my judgment, the mutation transformation technology used by the enemy is far more mature than expected. ”

"You have to go out of the city to the dense forest, where the mutant species have appeared, and the source of the disaster should also be there, and the things that cause the animal to mutate must be found and completely destroyed, so that the crisis of the castle can be resolved. ”

But in the process of testing the tone, the soldiers did not seem willing to risk going out of the city during the long night of the cold wave. Tours Lester reminded that he was Dunbar's clerk, responsible for organizing the day-to-day compilation of letters and information, and that there was little reply to the letter of intent sent to the various squads agreeing to leave the city.

"A coward will always kneel on the ground without being whipped. Dunbar frowned, this result did not surprise him, but it made him extremely disappointed, this is the garrison of Stone Fort, in exchange for the Claire family's private army, there is no need to test this step, the family's guards will unconditionally carry out his orders, because he is Dunbar, the proud third son of the Claire family.

Not really. Tours flipped through the letters, and finally saw one of the approving ones in the same resistance.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Dunbar was a little surprised, "There is still a wolf nature hidden in the cowardly flock, who is it?"

"Captain of the militia squad, Lloyd Owen. ”

"Lloyd Owen, if I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be a baron who inherits the title of the family, and has the status of a knight, why would he just worry about the captain of a militia squad. ”

"My lord, I have to remind you, it was 'once a knight'. Lloyd is a straightforward person, or reckless, in short, the Marquis's order was rejected by him on the spot a month ago, which completely angered the Marquis, if it weren't for the Owen family's loyalty to the Raymond family and Lloyd's own bravery, he would not even live in the world anymore, in short, since then he has been deprived of his inheritance, and was also expelled by the Owen family, reduced to an ordinary soldier. ”

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, even if he made a big mistake, in this war between humans and mutants, a knight can even turn the tide of the battle, and it is too wasteful to lead only the militia squad, which is consuming precious combat power!"

In fact, the word "waste" is impossible to say, although it is only a militia team of twelve people, the number of hunters and mutants in this team is close to fifty, far higher than the rest of the militia team, and the most important point is that the twelve people are still the people who were originally recruited, and even one person has not died, even if it is a real team composed of knights and elite guards, the record in the defense of the city may not be able to surpass this militia team. Tours is honest about this somewhat unbelievable record.

"Not one person died, destroy fifty mutants, militia squad? ”

"You can't be wrong. "Another thing you should know about the sudden drop in the casualty rate of soldiers in recent wars is because of the information that records the weaknesses of the mutants that have appeared so far, and the provider of this information is also the Lloyd Squad. ”

"The Owen family is not known for academics......"

And Lloyd himself is only just getting to the point of literacy. "What I want to convey is that this militia squad cannot be viewed as ordinary, and by virtue of their exploits, they are not worthy of a knight as a leader." ”

"Okay, okay. Dunbar waved his hand, "Anyway, there are finally people who are in favor of going out of the city, so no matter how strong the opposition is, it's time to act." ”

"Proclaim that a third of the elite of the legion defending the city will be selected to go out of the city to suppress the enemy, and the rest of the soldiers will remain in the castle in case the legion out of the city will be defeated, and still be able to keep the stone fort safe. ”

Thorsi and Tours were about to retire.

Dunbar suddenly added, "By the way, tell them that I will go out of the city with the legion." ”

"My lord, this is a rather unwise decision. Turce frowned, "You shouldn't have taken such a risk, either as a vicarious lord or as the heir to the Claire family, with all due respect, this is a foolish reckless act, not heroic at all." ”

"You're not good at fighting, so you shouldn't go out of the city. ”

"So you will work with me to keep me safe. ”

After Dunbar finished speaking to Sothey, he turned to look at Turce again, "It's not about bravery, and I'm not a gambler with a good name, the reason why this is so is that this operation is the same as standing on the opposite side of most of the soldiers, if I can't risk my life and live in this safe castle, then they will think that they are going to die instead of fighting, and once the morale of the army collapses, then this operation is really going to die, and there is no possibility of success at all." ”

"But it's still too risky after all...... "Tours tried to persuade him again.

Dunbar interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Don't worry, I won't deliberately send him to death, the rattlesnake's letter hasn't been confided yet, how can I meet death?"

"Give the order that they have pine oil and torches, and adequate supplies, for marching in the long night is no joke. Don't rush the whole army out first, send a group of people to set up camp in the dense forest, and then take over the follow-up team. ”
