Chapter 381: Strange Soldier
Faced with a flood of enemies, Stannis knew that the end would soon be approached, and if his forces could not resist until the last moment, his long-awaited hegemony would collapse before it could begin.
However, despite the sword in his hand, Stannis was still engrossed in staring at the sky, was he really waiting for a miracle to come?
Seeing that the knights were about to break through the defense line, Cortana on the side couldn't help but play the role of her grandfather and anxiously persuaded her, "Your Excellency Stan, please withdraw quickly, the enemy is about to kill, and it will be too late if you don't leave!"
But Stannis continued to look up at the sky as if he hadn't heard, and now that the sun had set in the west, shining on the heads of the enemy, he was looking for something, and that was what he needed most now.
Finally, a small black dot crossed under the corona at the edge of the sun, and because the sunspots of this world appeared so frequently, no one else on the earth noticed this, only Stannis recognized the fly-like shape, and knew that the backup he had been waiting for had finally arrived, and now he would be able to win!
At this moment, in the 'fly' in the sky, the rumbling of machinery filled the entire transport compartment, and Randall, who was sitting at the forefront, once again glanced at the ground with trepidation, and now he was two hundred feet above the ground, and the soldiers fighting on the ground became as small as ants.
In front of Randall sat forty or fifty soldiers who were also as nervous as he was, and only one of them was able to keep his composure, and that was the infantry captain Batesmore, who had been silent.
"Really, why should I lead this team with him. Randall muttered discontentedly, because Hillier and Barrow were in the other cargo hold at this time, so he could only team up with the mercenary.
To dispel the tension that permeated the air, Randall was ready to make fun of the infantry captain in black armor.
"I say, what's in your armor?
Ergou wanted to make fun of the mercenary captain's armor that he had bought by selling his soul through these words, and sure enough, several soldiers laughed, and they all privately cared about this 'coffin captain' who put on this pitch-black armor as soon as he fought.
Hearing his voice, Batesmore raised his head, he knew that the other party was laughing at him, but he was not annoyed at all, and patiently corrected: "You are wrong, there are no living people here, they are pretending to be dead." โ
Randall choked at once, and he already regretted provoking this guy a little.
At this moment, from the roof of the transport compartment came the voice of Engineer Speer, who was hammering something with a hammer, "We will be above the target in thirty seconds, everyone is ready! Remember, slide down the rope and try to let your ass hit the ground first!"
Ergou scolded silently, he really shouldn't have taken the initiative to sign up to be the most important 'wonder soldier'! At least jumping from such a high place was not in line with his original expectations.
After the group of strange soldiers disappeared overhead, Stannis suddenly became as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
"Everyone resist!" he yelled and personally drew his sword and rushed down the battlefield, the Qi Vini army, which was already on the verge of collapse, regained its amazing morale out of nowhere and squeezed forward desperately, the knights who were already preparing to take advantage of the victory and pursue did not expect that the guys in front of them still had the strength to launch a counterattack, and were caught off guard, they retreated slightly under the leadership of the various feudal lords, wanting to reorganize the formation and attack again.
Although the knights, who are the elite of a hundred battles, of course, know that the retreat is for a better attack, but in the eyes of the other soldiers in the rear, this is a signal that their own side cannot support it, and their morale is not high, and they see that even the most elite knights have to 'run away', and their morale suddenly drops to freezing point.
However, under the power of the whips and boots of the leading officers, they did not dare to run away blatantly, but what happened next undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
"It's a fire! there's a fire that burns our camp!"
By the southwest wind, the scorching smell of the southern military camp being burned by the raging fire in the distance reached the infantry formation, which was already frightened enough, and there were already sharp-eyed people who found that their large battalion, which was fine before departure, was actually burned, and the flames that rushed to the sky set fire to one tent after another and burned them to ashes, no one knew what was going on there, and the only thought of the soldiers was that someone had copied the back road, and they were going to be attacked from both sides!
"Run, or we'll all die here! Don't be the one who runs first!"
I don't know who shouted this extremely powerful scream in the crowd, instantly crushing the morale of the coalition army that was already too low to be lower, because the southern guardian Earl Snake was commanding the battle in the front, so it is equivalent to no unified command here, the coalition army that was originally hastily assembled saw that the situation was not good, and they immediately dispersed with the first purpose of preserving their strength, and the lord who originally wanted to hold on to it saw that everyone else had run away and felt that there was no hope of victory and immediately led his men to retreat, after a chaos, the infantry behind the knights actually ran away, leaving only the isolated knights and servants in front to fight aloneใ
The battlefield was reversed one hundred and eighty degrees in an instant!
At this time, in the camp of the coalition forces, Batesmore was wiping the blood from his Soul Slayer Sword with his sword, and like Stannis, he was covered in black armor and surrounded by corpses.
Around him, Zivinie's soldiers were setting fire to tents, ordnance, and food and grass with torches, all of whom were carefully selected by Stannis for the mission, and although there were less than a hundred of them, they still successfully completed the mission.
At this time, in front of Batesmore, there was a dying baron gasping for breath, he was the commander of the camp left behind, with three hundred men to guard the camp, but he was instantly annihilated by this surprise attack force that came out of nowhere, the baron covered his wound and said incredulously: "This is impossible! How can you suddenly appear in the rear of the battlefield, my sentries have not noticed that you are approaching from the periphery, could it be that you came out of the ground?"
Batesmore, who had killed thirty soldiers by himself just now, decided to fulfill this guy's dying wish, and he pointed to the sky, but there was nothing there, only a dozen vertical ropes falling from 50 feet in the air.
The baron instantly understood, but he still couldn't believe it: "This is a secret vehicle only owned by Duke Garcia, why do you also have it?"
