Chapter 180: The Savior Comes

The centurion's opening remarks made all the Erathians present dare not believe their ears, you must know that Rhodok has been inseparable since the Erathian Empire destroyed the Holy Light Dynasty, the war between the two races has been going on for four hundred years, and the hatred between them has long been stacked to the point where it is difficult to eliminate them in words, and now this man from the Rhodok Legion has come and said that he wants to rescue them, even if the situation is so critical, but no backbone Erathian will accept it.

But fortunately, there were not only Erathians here, but also Stannis, who was a traverser, did not have such a moral burden, and he raised his hand in welcome, "You guys are so timely!

Stannis could feel that everyone behind him was looking at him with disdain, but this existential crisis couldn't care so much, he wouldn't die here with hatred that he didn't understand.

But the centurion did not move forward, and pointed to the archers who were still waiting behind Stannis, indicating that they had not yet been disarmed.

He could still give this order, and Stannis waved his hand and ordered: "Archer, put the bow down!"

Reluctantly, the archers put away their bows and arrows, and as a token of thanks, the Rhodoks on the opposite side also put their daggers back into their scabbards.

The heavily armed soldiers then lined up the hill in two columns and entered the midst of the gnashing teeth of the Erathians.

Stannis could feel the smell of gunpowder between the two sides, if it wasn't for the common enemy, I'm afraid it wasn't for the fact that they were already biting together with their teeth.

He decided to do something to ease the tension.

"I am Stannis Justinian, lord of Zivignie, and what should I call you, Mr. Vibius. He asked the lead officer.

The scarred warrior gave him a serious military salute with his right hand on his breastplate, "Call me centurion, honorable Lord Justinian." ”

It seemed that the guy was conceited about the title, and from the battle medals lining his chest, Stannis could feel the pride of the Rhodoks to be part of the Legion.

Stannis asked, "You said you were here to rescue us, how did you know we were trapped here?"

Vibius raised his hand and said with a smile, "It was it that told us, Your Excellency. ”

Stannis looked up and saw that it was the raven that had been hovering over his head, and that it had also been seen in deserted villages.

"Can your crows speak?" asked Stannis curiously.

Vibius shook his head and patiently explained: "Our Heavenly Father Sacrifice has mastered the secret arts, can control the raven to soar, and see everything through its eyes, and the priests in the corps saw the scene of you being trapped, so the corps commander immediately sent me to bring people over to support. ”

"Oh, it's the Crow's Eye technique, it's really advanced. Stannis exclaimed, but he glanced at the thousands of Chaos people on the other side of the river, and roughly counted the number of Rhodok's army, and asked a little uneasily, "But how did you lead us to break through?" I counted, and you only brought 200 people, plus our 600 people here, it is absolutely impossible to break through the blockade of those monsters. ”

But Vibius did not have the slightest anxious affection, he shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, there may be a misunderstanding between us, I brought two teams of 100 people here not to help you break through, but to wait for reinforcements with you. ”

"What!" Robert, who had been eavesdropping on the side, jumped out angrily, "I'll just say that these Rhodoks can't believe it, you're playing tricks on us, how can you keep it! You're here to see how our Erathians were killed!"

Stannis glared at him and motioned for him to shut up, "Please continue, Centurion." ”

"I know it's going to be difficult to defend in this format, but as long as I can hold out until tomorrow before the sun sets, my boss, Commander of the Seventh Corps, Romulo, will come to support with two corps. ”

"Then why doesn't he bring someone now, if you can get there in time, I'm sure they'll arrive before tonight, no matter how slow they are!"

Vibius shook his head unkindly, which was very consistent with his status as a soldier," The Chaos People not only launched an attack on you this time, as many as tens of thousands of these monsters suddenly appeared and attacked everywhere, although we have not found their traces in Rhodok, but several of your villages here are stationed on the border line V Corps for help, so the legion divided the various corps under its command into several ways to rescue, and the troops allocated to this territory are only two corps, we only saved the people of the whole village yesterday evening, and after settling them, this morning we received another larger town emergency, so the main force went to help there, and there was really no extra troops, so I sent me to support you for defense first。 ”

The Elasians, led by Robert, complained loudly, and they took all their anger out on the Rhodoks, and some even shouted that it was the Rhodoks who brought those monsters, completely forgetting that they had just saved their lives.

Stannis was very disdainful of the guys' behavior of putting down their bowls and scolding their mothers, but he felt that holding on to help was the safest strategy at the moment, and he couldn't expect any amazing performance from the soldiers on his side who were already scared and stupid to break through.

"But how can we hold on to that group of monsters at any moment!" Stannis still didn't calm down.

As if he knew he would have asked this question, Vibius replied seriously: "You wisely crossed the river and ran to the hillside to buy us time, those monsters seem to be afraid of water, so this place is safe until the river freezes again." ”

I didn't expect his wit to play such a big role, and Stannis praised himself in his heart.

Then the experienced centurion began to plan how to build fortifications, he pointed to the bottom of the hillside and said: "We are going to dig a trench along the side of the hillside, so that the monsters can delay the attack, and at the same time reserve only one passage on the trench, those monsters have no intelligence, they will follow their instinct to pass through there, greatly reducing the possibility of them crawling through the trench, my men will guard the passage, and you only need to deploy people on the edge of the trench to prevent sporadic monsters from breaking through." ”

"Wow, do you really have the courage to take on the most dangerous task of your own accord, and you have to face thousands of monsters with two hundred men?" Stannis sighed.

Vibius's face was solemn and he said unwaveringly, "It is the duty of our Rhodoc soldiers to die on the battlefield. ”

Although he didn't mean anything else, Stannis thought he had deliberately said it to them, and sure enough, some fleshed Erathians shouted in displeasure and asked to join the battle.

But can those monsters follow his vision, leave the undefended trench and walk honestly through the passage with someone in hand? Suddenly, he remembered something important, "These monsters should be afraid of fire, too!" 12910
