Chapter 397: Under the Shadows
"So the source of everything is in that stone in the central square...... "Stannis muttered to himself, already an old acquaintance of the Divine Seal, who knew the usual tricks of these powerful forces imprisoned in the obelisk, and because they couldn't move, they always found some safe place to hide themselves.
Stannis also thought of a countermeasure to this, and he was ready to use another sound strategy.
"Commander Andre, I have a plan here to destroy the Divine Seal, but it will require you to make a lot of sacrifices, I don't know if you are willing. ”
Garrison Commander Andrei stroked his beard and looked at Stannis with half-squinted eyes, but finally he said, "If it makes sense, my men can follow your plan." ”
"When I was outside just now, I observed that there are two roads leading to the city, but they are all blocked by those monsters, so I hope you can take the initiative to attack to attract monsters from the other way, just give me two hours to get rid of all these monsters. ”
"What!" Not to mention the hairy knight, even the usually calm and elegant knight couldn't help but call out, "You want our dignified garrison to use bait for you to attract monsters and create opportunities for you, who do you think you are!"
Stannis knew that his request was indeed a bit difficult for a strong man, but experience had taught him that the only weakness of the Divine Seals was their unstoppable arrogance, and that it must have thought that its Chaos army surrounded the survivors, and no one could guess that its hiding place was in the original square, and even if they did, no one would dare to approach it.
Once again, André resisted his men's urge to come forward and beat up Stannis, and he had slowly realized that the knight in front of him, who called himself Walter, was actually hiding his identity.
"Are you sure you'll be able to eradicate this nightmare?"
"Of course. Stennis said confidently.
André began to pace slowly, he was now in the midst of the biggest decision of his life, if the impostor knight who boasted about the sea port missed, he and 20,000 people would have to lose their lives. But if you don't take the initiative to destroy those monsters, it's only a matter of time before this humble fortress in the lower city falls out.
"Okay, but your people are going to stay, not many, but I can tell they're the best of the best. ”
Stannis smiled, he had originally planned to use force to coerce the elder into coercing him into his actions, and indeed there was no need for so many people to infiltrate the city, just bring Robert and Korodov.
Although Andre's subordinates still want to raise objections, they all know the temper of their commander, and the orders they have issued will not change no matter what, which is why Yum famous Igo chose him as his city defense commander, "From now on, I will lead my men to take the initiative to meet those monsters in the south, and create enough movement to attract the monsters in the whole city, and find a way to destroy them for you for two hours, so it's okay!"
Stannis snapped his fingers, indicating that this was exactly what he had thought.
After a short negotiation, Andrei ordered his men to prepare, in addition to leaving the necessary guards in the north, Andrei gathered all the troops at his disposal of 300 men, plus the fifty brought by Stannis and the volunteers recruited from the citizens, the human race will be less than a thousand to meet the 30,000 chaos people, as long as the person in their right mind knows that this is a suicide act, fortunately the narrow streets of the lower city help, each street can accommodate up to five monsters lined up, not to mention the terrifying bone scythe。
André stood at the top of the makeshift wall, wearing a silver helmet and sword in hand, and under his feet countless sickle monsters raised their bone blades high to hook him off, but the old knight stood still, and from a distance it looked like a statue of a heroic spirit.
"The shield-bearer in front, the spearman in the back, the archers in high places, gods forbid, send these dead men to rest in peace!"
Under this iron-like shout, the temporary fortress was directly smashed away by the shield hand, and then raised the shield and continued to smash at those sickle monsters, coupled with the sharp spears behind the shield, dozens of monsters turned into a puddle of flesh in an instant.
Sure enough, the monsters were caught off guard by this hand, and even without intelligence, the Chaos Folk instinctively retreated, while they opened their ribs in resonance, summoning more and more of their kind to join the battle.
Soon countless monsters flocked to the south, and there was not a single monster left on the road leading to the center of the city in the north.
Stennis's battle plan was a great success again, and without further ado, he immediately led Robert and Korodov to quietly climb over the northern barricades and appear on the streets.
The earth-shattering sound of slaughter not far away was heartbreaking, and Stannis here was as rippleless as stagnant water, and that was exactly what he wanted. However, the rudimentary nine-turn alley also caused problems for Stannis, who not only couldn't tell if there was a monster hiding around the corner, but also slowed down their speed by the winding road back and forth.
"Damn, how can you speed up? The time I agreed with Andre was two hours, and at the current pace I couldn't spend enough time on the road. ”
But Robert showed him the way, and he pointed to the top of his head, and Stannis immediately understood.
A few minutes later, Stannis stepped on the roof tiles and moved quickly, but fortunately his little brother's mind was fast, and the speed of his journey on the roof was not only greatly accelerated, but also his vision was very wide, and he was able to detect the wandering Chaos people there in advance and avoid them.
Soon, in only a quarter of an hour, Stannis and his team reached the center of the city, where a huge stone stood in the center, as André had said before, like the remains of ancient Stonehenge, which appeared in the shadow cast by the main castle of the Igo family.
"The Divine Seal must be in there. Although his armor didn't match the Divine Seal, Stannis clearly felt that the Divine Seal was directly in front of him.
"Boss, what are we going to do next?" Robert asked in a high-pitched voice, there was not a single monster in the square at this time, and it seemed that it was the best time to get close to the Divine Seal.
Stannis didn't answer, but he hesitated when the Divine Seal was close at hand, because things had gone so smoothly so far, and he couldn't believe it.
But knowing that there might be a trap in it, Stannis could only jump down.
"Follow me!"
With that, Stannis unfurled his black armor and jumped down.
