Chapter Twenty-Eight: Respect

When the North Continent was invaded, everything fell into darkness, and the dark clouds of the far east also engulfed the eastern snow-capped mountains at the same time, swallowing the Virginia mainland behind the ice peaks, and the strongest brigade of the Drua Order, known as the Hammer of Conquest, passed through the eastern mountains. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The loosely guarded defenders of the snow castle were all panicked when they saw the troops of more than 10,000 people under the city, and the snow peak and the surrounding frozen soil were densely packed with the figures of the Drua expeditionary force, these powerful soldiers were wearing dark golden armor, and the lower edge of the helmet's goggle protruded like the teeth of a poisonous snake, and on a commanding height large enough to overlook the entire snow castle fluttered a weather-beaten military flag, on which was tattooed a giant python wrapped around itself, and the general's might spread far away.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The deafening sound of war drums echoed through the mountains, drowning out the howl of the wind and snow, and the soldiers surrounding the snow fort took their crossbows and aimed at the defenders on the walls in unison, killing the sentries on the outside of the walls with a single volley. The corpse of the dead guard was shocked by the crossbow and flew back, and the defenders immediately realized that someone was attacking the city, so they gathered their forces to climb the city wall, but unfortunately in the face of tens of thousands of enemy troops, the five hundred defenders in the middle of the snow fort were just mantis arms as a car, not to mention that these soldiers had not practiced for several years, and they had already been very sluggish.

In the biting cold wind, the two sides were deadlocked, the soldiers of the Hammer of Conquest were not afraid of the cold and lined up, and never launched any attack on the city walls, but the soldiers of Vegia gradually lost their fighting spirit in the cold current, and the besieging side shot their soldiers but did not attack the city, which filled the hearts of the defenders with all kinds of questions, and after a long time, they hid in the towers to avoid the cold, leaving only a few guards to monitor the enemy army.

"It's rubbish, what do these guys think of the Dark Order!Anaconda Fangs...... The all-powerful army trained by Yumengander himself, if they want to attack the city, they can break down the defenses of this snow fort at any time!!"

The owner of this familiar voice used the cover of ice and snow to take in the battle between the Hammer of Conquest and the snow castle, and at the same time, several men dressed as snow thieves poked their heads out of the white tent and quietly approached the flank of the besieging city, and the leader was none other than Torinore, who was ordered to monitor the snow castle of Prinor, the famous swordsman who shook the snowfield--Oguma.

With the help of the environment of the snow-capped mountains, the snow thieves perfectly hid themselves in the snow and gradually approached the army of the Hammer of Conquest. But the attitude of these Drua warriors, known as the Pythons, who stood in the wind and snow in the wind and snow without fear of the cold, made Oguma so awe-struck that he removed the arrow from the head of one of the sergeant majors and aimed it at the Virgian banner at the head of the city.

"Whoosh!"

At the sound of the string, an arrow flew out, and the flag at the head of the city fell, and because the flagpole broke, the flag fell down the city, but the Virgians did not care, and continued to hold on to the city, and Oguma had no choice but to put away his bow in a muffled voice.

This move made the dark soldiers quickly discover the lurking snow thieves, and some of the sergeants turned around and aimed their crossbows at the approaching snow thieves, and the cold eyes under the steel helmet seemed to announce: Stand back, or you will be killed on the spot.

"We retreat, and if the castle is lost, we will return to the interior to report the news, and it is not our job to fight. Oguma gave the order and led the snow thieves to evacuate the frontier battlefield and lurk in the snowy mountains again.

After the snow robbers retreated, a Vigia sergeant on the city wall cursed a few words at their backs, and then summoned his archers to shoot indiscriminately into the Drua formation, and the Python army immediately raised a thick black iron shield to form an iron wall, and the chaotic rain of arrows could not penetrate the solid shield wall, which made the Virgians, who are famous for their archery skills, lose face, and when their morale was frustrated, many soldiers lost their fighting spirit early and stood on their posts to initiate.

A quarter of an hour later, an arrow suddenly shot from the snow peak, and as soon as the fireworks in the air dispersed, the dark soldiers surrounding the western part of the snow castle rushed to the city wall en masse, and instead of using siege weapons, they wielded heavy weapons such as hoes, war hammers, and battle axes to directly attack the gray wood walls. The sergeants smashed for a while, and the defenders of the city came to their senses, symbolically released a few arrows towards the city, and the Drua soldiers retreated with interest, but the bottom of the western wall had been abandoned and was in danger of crumbling at any time.

However, the attack on the western wall was only a feint, and the weak defense of the southern wall was attacked again, when the defenders arrived at the south gate, several dark scouts quietly climbed the city wall from the cliff to the north, and took advantage of the attraction of the sentries at the head of the city to sneak into the gatehouse, activated the inner gate hinges, and destroyed the top gate post to open the gate, and the dark army outside the city saw it, and immediately adjusted its position and rushed towards the city.

As the Hammer of Conquest launched its final assault, Oguma sighed as he looked at the snow castle in the distance, and as he was about to leave, something appeared in his field of vision that interested him...... It was a giant man about nine feet tall, with a tiger's back on his back, riding a huge war horse that was also a great horse, and he charged from the high ground at the other end, followed by countless dark sergeants, and the mighty army drove into the Snow Castle of Prus, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the snowy mountains.

"Interesting, I'm going to find out the details of this group of enemies, so you can go back to the interior and report the news first!" After the division of labor, the snow thieves packed up their hiding place and hurried down the mountain, while Oguma strode towards the snow castle of Prus, and his curiosity led him into danger.

He sped some distance through the snow to a spot where he could overlook the castle without being noticed by the Dark Soldiers. From here, he could see the battle situation in the snow castle at a glance, only to see that the snow castle camp had been completely lost, and the remaining small group of Vigia soldiers occupied the commanding height of the tower and resisted desperately, but the giant's inexplicable blow under the tower shattered the pillars of the lookout and collapsed in the rubble. Oguma couldn't see the man's face and dress clearly, so he slid down the snow slope and approached the outskirts of the snow fort, but the dark soldiers who were lying in ambush nearby suddenly came out, and nearly a hundred python fangs surrounded him. Faced with a huge number of enemy forces and no suitable weapons at hand, Oguma had no choice but to be escorted to the snow castle by these men.

There was no doubt that the Order's army had routed the castle defenders without casualties, and in addition to the more than 300 men killed in the melee, the remaining 200 or so surrenderers were unarmored and gathered together, waiting in the ice and snow for the arbitration of the conqueror commander Yumengand, Oguma was also escorted to this place, and happened to be guarded in the stable not far from the Viggia prisoners of war, but his hands were tightly trapped by thick ropes, which was not in his budget.

After a while, a not-so-obvious sound of metal grinding came from nearby, and the big man that Oguma was eyeing walked down the steps of the city wall, and he took advantage of the time when he was still free to move around to carefully examine the giant man, this man was a dark-skinned old man, who was already over fifty years old from the aging of his face, and wore a black iron Gurdrua Consulate's helmet, and his tall and strong body stretched from his neck to his wrists and legs. They are all tightly wrapped in a Drua antique black chain mail, and the black chain mail is also attached to the front and back of two extremely strong ebony steel plates, and the black steel shoulder pads, wrist guards, and leg guards are all covered with spikes.

"War is a means of forcible seizure! It is also a path of honor to subvert the rule of chaos! Now that I, Drua, have regained the protection of the god Medius, the hammer of conquest will conquer Calradia and establish order for the Druas! Warriors! Let us wait for the moment when Calradia will fall apart!!" the giant man spoke, his loud voice full of power and intimidation, which terrified the Virginia prisoners of war and won the respect of the Druas warriors.

"Calradia is nothing but a plate of loose sand!!, the hammer of conquest will win!!" shouted nearly a thousand python soldiers in the castle in unison, while striking the ground with their long-handled knives.

When the deafening shouts passed, a Drua sergeant came to the prisoner of war, took off his black helmet, and showed a Vigia face underneath, he looked at the Vigia prisoners of war, and said meaningfully: "O my people, do you know that one day the mortal world will be unified, and at that time, what motive will the once worshiped god of the hunt have to protect us? When my Drua army conquers the human world, only the Lord of Darkness can save the lost and the weak and protect us!"

"You betray the faith! Virgians never bow their heads, how can you let such a treacherous scumbag be moved?" a bold prisoner of war retorted.

"I didn't want to accept it at first. But then, I began to change, and for the sake of our nation's position in the new empire, wouldn't it be better to join the Drua army?" the sergeant continued to persuade, but the Vigians did not give in, but continued to refute and curse the traitor who had renounced his faith, and the scene became chaotic.

"Silence!"

The majestic voice of the giant man instantly stopped the Vigian invective, and he brushed the long beard that covered half of his face, and tied the lower half of his beard with a cloth belt, and walked back and forth in front of the long line of prisoners of war, his terrible body and terrifying heavy armor alone imprinted his horror in the hearts of Vigians.

"I am a warrior, and I have no respect for the gods in the depths of my soul, and even Medius is only an unimportant faith for me. My mission is to lead the invincible army I have created to defeat all the enemies of Calradia, simply to carry on the great honor of moving forward a new era. In the course of the attack on Vigia's homeland, our army suffered heavy losses, but it made those Vigias understand that in order to gain fame, they must survive, and now you understand this truth?"

"Then I'd rather die than be your minion!!" One of the prisoners of war in the lead bluntly refused his invitation, the giant man sighed regretfully, muttered 'I don't know each other' and turned around and punched, the Virginia soldier had already flown far away before feeling the pain, crashing into the city wall and shattering his bones, this scene once again filled the hearts of the Virginia prisoners of war with fear, and instinctively retreated.

"Join him and sleep forever as a vanquished! or join me and regain your dignity on the battlefield!"

After making an example, the giant man asked again, and most of the Virgian soldiers had already thought about it, and involuntarily knelt down on their knees, expressing their willingness to join the army of the Hammer of Conquest.

"Xin Tian, get two hundred sets of armor!" the giant man beckoned to a sergeant major with a high status nearby.

Over time, the Virgian warriors in the snow castle were transformed into samurai of the Drua Order, propelled by fear and honor to join the Drua, but they did not rebel against him, because the giant man spoke the unshakable truth, which made Oguma admire him even more.

"So...... Which one do you choose?The snow robbers must have some kind of conspiracy to spy on this castle in the snowy mountains?" the giant man finally noticed Oguma on the other side and stepped forward to ask.

"I'm also a centurion, you should at least respect me, and keep your head down and look at people, don't your neck get tired?" Even though he was in prison, the arrogance in Oguma's bones was still there, and he directly provoked the giant in front of him.

At this moment, Sergeant Major Xin Tian approached from behind Oguma, drew his sword against the back of his heart, and said coldly: "Pay attention to your words, this is the commander of the Drua Order-Hammer of Conquest Legion, General Eumond Goliath! ”

"You could try, but you're afraid you won't live that time. With that, Oguma jumped backwards and jumped over the top of Xin Tian's head, and Xin Tian, who was stabbed in the air, lost his balance and fell forward, Oguma took the opportunity to kick him to the ground, and the steel helmet on his head fell off and rolled not far away.

Looking closely at Xin Tian's almost angry face, the sharp-beaked monkey had a long hooked nose on its cheeks, a small braid tied behind the broken hair on the top of his head, and a pair of leopard eyes were full of anger, as if he was about to swallow the humiliating Oguma alive, but he still suppressed his anger and put away the knife unwillingly.

"It seems that Your Excellency is not an idle person, I, Youmeng Gangde, have always respected martial artists and will give you the respect I deserve, but you must be honest, what is the purpose of coming to the Great Snow Mountain?" Yumeng Gang squatted on his knees, and finally fell to the same level as Oguma.

"No comment, I'll gladly die, but until then, I'll kill that traitor. He pointed to the Virgian warrior who had betrayed earlier.

Xin Tian on the side saw it and said mockingly: "If you have the ability, try it." ”

The sergeant also heard their conversation, and immediately swung his long war knife at him, Okumar easily dodged the attack, and cut the rope on his hand along the man's blade, and after taking the opportunity to dodge and move his hands, Okumar performed a move from the front to the white blade with his empty hand, and kicked his opponent's neck bone in the air, and then turned and threw the blade out, causing his head to hit the ground.

"Please stop!" Yumengand shouted, adding a 'please' to make Oguma feel a little worried, and Xin Tian was already in front of him, Yumengand pulled out the blood-stained sword from the ground and approached him step by step.

"He was one of the most active soldiers in the army, and according to our beliefs, you are entitled to your own spoils. ”

"It is an honor that you give me his sword, not to avenge him. ”

Oguma took the knife handed over by Yumengand, and the other party asked, "The snow robbers are all excellent swordsmen these days, what do you think of this knife?"

He smiled, waved his sword like a fly, weighed it for a moment, and returned it to Eumengand, and asked, "Is this the saber of your Hammer of Conquest?" It seems to me that the weight of the blade is too light, and the weight is focused on the hilt, and it will be difficult for a man of my strength to wield it. ”

"In that case, join me, and I will personally forge the weapons you like, after all, I used to be a craftsman, and all the weapons in the army are copied according to the style I designed. Yumengand also admired Ogumar and bluntly begged him to stay.

At this moment, a small group of Drua sergeants came in from outside the castle, several of them carrying a long bear skin package in their hands, and another carrying Okuma's bone bow and blue feather arrows, Okumar was waiting for this moment, and as for the plan to escape, he was already in the chest.

"What are those things?" Xin Tian asked angrily, and went up to touch the package, but the super weight instantly caused the package to slip out of his hand, and it fell heavily on the snow, kicking up snow smoke.

Seeing that several people could carry the package, Yumengande was also intrigued, he stepped forward and dismissed the sergeants, and easily grabbed the package himself, and found that it was Okuma's double-toothed blade - overweight dragon jaws, extremely sharp dragon teeth.

"What a good sword, is this the kind of weapon you call handy?" asked Oguma as he looked at the swords.

"Since you say you were once a blacksmith, you must be able to see the details of them?" he laughed, demanding that he weigh his weapon.

After carefully observing the material of the blade, the polish of the blade, and the shallow inscriptions, Yumengande came to the conclusion: "This is a pair of centuries-old antiquities, and the material is actually the teeth of a dragon.

"I've been wondering, why do characters like you worship war so much? You know the truth of attacking people before attacking hearts, more like a politician, and you also understand the cruelty of war, but why are you bent on fighting for the conquest of the continent?" After expressing his respect, Oguma asked for his sword and bow and arrow.

"War is a simple and direct means, and there will be heavy sacrifices, but it is not only the territory that I want to conquer for the country, but the hearts of the enemy, and when they realize that my Druas have the protection of God, they will no longer make useless resistance. ”

"At this point, I don't even know if I should respect you or make fun of you...... O O Calradia, the people of Calradia know that Medius is a fallen god, and you are only a pawn of it. ”

Oguma shook his head helplessly, raised his hand to hold the knife behind him, and continued: "What's more, if I want to leave, you can't keep me......"

The dragon jaw knife flew into the air in an instant, he took off and grabbed the hilt of the knife, and smashed Yumengand's head with the back of the knife with all his strength, the other party's reaction was not slow, at the same time as Oguma attacked, a huge fist blasted out, the moment the back of the knife collided with the fist, Oguma was bounced out far away, and Yumengander only took a step back.

"It can't be...... Actually blocked this super heavy blow with tons of impact with his bare hands?" Oguma put away his knife when he landed, completely unable to imagine what had just happened, and the dark soldiers around him surrounded him once again.

"There is such a fierce force, I used to call myself immobile like a mountain, but in the face of Your Excellency's blow, I still took a step back, which is really terrifying...... Go away, my soldiers won't stop you, and consider my offer again. ”

Yumengande ordered the troops to get out of the way, and although the Drua warriors led by Xin Tian were extremely unwilling, they still laid down their weapons, and Oguma also received Yumengand's affection, and walked towards the city gate despite the hundreds of enemy troops on both sides.

"Since you appreciate me, then I can't live up to a hero, the moment the Dark Knights collapse, we may be able to become friends, and we will meet later!"

As soon as the wolf of the snow stepped onto the thick snow, he ran like a fly, and many of the Drua soldiers on the perimeter tried to hunt down Okuma, but they could not do anything about his snow flying skills, so they had to watch him disappear out of sight and disappear into the snow of the snowy mountains.
