Chapter 286: The End
At the gate of Gavin City, which had been blasted out of a broad avenue by artillery clusters before, there were many lifting equipment and boulders on both sides of the avenue, and the people who were recruited to build did not start work, sitting in a shady corner, watching the procession like a dragon of Del Patriarch leave the city one after another, and their hearts were very uncomfortable.
Some people hoped that the Torns would stay, after all, this army was strictly disciplined, and with them present, the nobles and the local army who bullied the weak and feared the hard would keep to themselves, not to cause trouble and oppress the common people.
Of course, there are also people who breathe a sigh of relief, most of these people have seen the other side of the special operations army with their own eyes, in order to eliminate the thugs to complete the task, they will not care about the lives of innocent people at all, those who stand in the way are often killed by crossbow arrows, these soldiers are as cruel and ruthless as demons, it is better to leave early.
If the commoners are half-happy and half-sad, then the two factions in the city are undoubtedly very depressed, they came to visit Casio early in the morning, the purpose is naturally to hope that the unwilling Charon will use the power of the winged king to choose their faction leader as the new lord of Gavin, if they are competent, what kind of convenience will be provided to your army, etc.
However, the head of the family had already decided to let Gavin become a loose sand, and Casio naturally would not get involved in these things, let alone bring their words to Charon, and after listening to a few words, he coldly issued an eviction order.
The army was assembled outside the city and divided into three groups, the largest number of which were the 50,000 troops directly under the direct command who continued the war, the least was more than 1,000 wounded, and the soldiers of the 5,000 Heavy Machinery Regiment who escorted the wounded and treasures back home.
As for the last group of troops in Gavin City, these people were specially selected from the prisoner camp to prepare for the subordinate army to fight with the large army, Casio is not worried that they will run away and will refuse to obey orders, because the families of these people are in Gavin territory, and if they do something irrational, their families will be liquidated, which is something that no one wants.
The reason why they want to establish a subsidiary army is also because they lost thousands of troops in the capture of Haile City and Gavin City, and they also have to fight two counties and the west coast, which is not possible at this rate of attrition, so someone needs to share the pressure for them on the battlefield and serve as cannon fodder for the siege. Because the military salaries offered are not low, and there are pensions for the dead and wounded, the resistance of these affiliated armies is not very strong, in fact, they have no room to refuse, either take money and sell their lives, so that they may still have a chance to live, or they will die now, everyone knows how to choose.
However, the increase in the number of troops has increased the already tight logistical pressure, and food alone is very problematic, Casio does not count on Gavin to transport food, the distance is long and easy to intercept, and can only rely on quick battles and supply through plunder.
After the completion of the three waves of troops, about a quarter of an hour later, the ground began to tremble, the rumbling sound was getting closer and closer, and the thunder was rolling like a tide!
The iron hooves of the war horses trampled through the land, the flying mud and rocks brought up billowing smoke and dust, and the mighty Del family iron cavalry arrived on the outskirts of Gavin and joined the large army.
The flag of the cavalry regiment fluttered and roared in the wind, and Magnus, the chief knight at the front of the team, rode forward and came to Casio, resting his right hand on his chest, saluting with the most traditional knightly etiquette, and said in a deep voice: "The chief knight Magnus has seen the general!"
Magnus is a pinnacle-level knight who has been famous for many years, and there have been faint signs of breaking through the boundaries in recent years, and he also commands the 10,000-strong cavalry regiment, and his status in the army is only slightly lower than that of Casio, and he is a real powerhouse.
"No need to be polite, General Magnus. Casio bowed his head slightly and asked, "Have the supplies needed by the new army been delivered safely?"
"It's all shipped, please rest assured. ”
Seeing that Magnus's face was a little ugly, Casio was not surprised, this old knight had an old-fashioned style, and he was not interested in the new things that arose in the south, when the cavalry regiment was reorganized into a heavy infantry and special operations army, he resolutely expressed his opposition, and he was still forced down by Charon, who was the head of the family, so as not to set off a storm in the army.
"Well, hand over the supplies to the new army now, and send another 2,000 men to assist the men of the 5,000 Heavy Machine Legion to escort the wounded and the looted property, and ensure that people and goods return to the territory safely. ”
"Yes! I'll have someone arrange it right away. Magnus glanced left and right a few times, but did not find Charon's figure, and asked, "Admiral Casio, is the head of the family not here?"
Casio nodded, "Yes, the head of the family has gone to solve other important matters, and he is not in the army now, but I guess I will be back soon." ”
At the time of the convergence of the two armies, Charon was more than ten miles away from the city of Gavin, and the black war horse under his crotch was like thunder and lightning, and the wind swept up, and the branches and leaves of the bushes on both sides were slanted and lodging by the wind pressure.
After knowing that the young man who came to the store was a big knight, the owner of the antique shop took his granddaughter early in the morning, and Simina sneaked to the city wall through the tunnels in the store, and slowly walked out of Gavin City using the treasure invisibility cloak.
However, although the army of the Del family has withdrawn, there are many knight-level scouts lurking inside and outside the city, and after Benedict and his party left the city, they were discovered and followed by the scouts, although Benedict is a high-level knight, but the lurking scouts have a hidden atmosphere, a treasure that isolates the sight, as long as they don't get too close, they don't worry about the former being aware of their existence.
Such a sneaky group of people went out of the city, and the scouts reported to the Ministry of Intelligence as soon as possible, and after investigating the information and comparing the knight-level figures in the city, they soon knew the identity of the other party. But because the other party had been in contact with the head of the family in the past two days, they did not show up to capture it, but handed the news to Charon.
At that time, Charon happened to finish repairing the Black Ring, so he ordered someone to prepare a good war horse, and he hadn't paid any reward when he took the Stone of Yolanda, if it wasn't for the family's real weapon, he didn't bother to buy and sell it with the pride in his bones. Now that it has become an established fact, it can only compensate the other party.
After sensing the antique shop owner's group, Charon did not chase after them in a straight line, but circled around and came to the top of the gentle slope in front of them, and waited with his breath in his breath, his ears moving slightly, and he could hear the subtle sound of the wind.
"Grandpa, is Brother Charon really a villain? If he is a villain, why don't you educate and enlighten him, Grandpa?"
Connie's heart was full of confusion, carrying a small bag, and she was led by Simina, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her clean forehead.
"That guy is a little better than grandpa, don't talk too much. ”
Benedict had a dark face, although according to Simina, the young man let them go after obtaining the knowledge of witches, and he should not be too sinister, but how can the big knight be easy to deal with, yesterday the other party found the stone of Yolanda, maybe he will feel that he has more and better treasures, greed is the nature of human beings, it is best to stay away from this big knight.
Connie's talent is average, and now she is only at the level of a low-level squire, but with Vivien's light spirit magic for her, she can barely keep up with everyone, so the speed of the group is not slow, and soon they come to the bottom of the gentle slope, and when they are about to reach the highest point, a voice suddenly comes out.
"You're in such a hurry, where do you want to go?"
Seeing Charon, whose horse appeared on the edge of the slope, Benedict's face changed, and it was no wonder that there was a horse alone on it, and it was this very deceptive means of astringency.
In an emergency, Benedict threw away the box on his body, decisively pulled out the knight's sword at his waist, and at the same time whispered: "Take Connie away, quick!"
But in the next moment, several golden rays of light swept across the land next to them, and the fierce wind, deep cracks, couldn't help but make people's hearts feel cold.
"You can run and try to see if you are fast, or if my sword qi is fast. ”
Charon saw that Benedict was still pointing his sword at him, his eyes froze, the sword momentum field covered a radius of ten zhang, and the momentum fell from the sky like a surging river, and the pressure on the old knight increased sharply, and the sword weapon in his hand became extremely heavy, falling to the ground.
Such a gap made Benedict feel frightened, and he didn't dare to act rashly, and said with a wry smile: "Respected knight, I apologize for my previous rudeness, and I am willing to offer all my treasures and treasures, I hope you can be magnanimous and let us go." ”
"Grandpa!" Connie cried out when Simina and Vivien covered her mouth and protected her.
For a while, the field was gloomy, Charon felt inexplicable, and before he could speak, the other party seemed to think that he would kill them.
Neither side spoke, and the atmosphere gradually stiffened and solidified, and while Charon wondered what was wrong with his behavior, there were people on the other side who could not bear the pressure.
"My lord, I beg you to spare them, I can be your servant for the rest of my life!"
The female knight was ready to sell herself again to protect the others, Charon looked at the other party seriously, and said secretly in her heart: "The will is not strong enough, it is estimated that even the stimulation of blood exchange can not be withstanding"
Glaring his look of regret, Charon decided not to waste any more time, and put the sword back into its scabbard, and tossed the leather bag tied next to the saddle to Benedict, who caught it in confusion.
"Sir, do you think I'm here to murder you? I'm just paying for yesterday's Yolanda Stone, and the bag contains all kinds of strengthening potions and a bottle of psychic medicine to strengthen your mind, which won't do much for you, but at least fifty percent sure that it can push Connie to the rank of a beginner knight. You are so worried about her safety, it is better to let her have some strength to protect herself. ”
Benedict didn't expect Charon to be so behaving, his face was incredulous, although Simina and Vivien behind him were also surprised, but they felt reasonable, this moody knight didn't seem to harm the people who had helped him, and they were like this before, but Vivian's psychological shadow was too bad after her memory was snatched, and the two of them wanted to stay away from Charon.
"Grandpa, didn't you say that Brother Charon would be worried about our family's treasures and come to kill us?" Connie muttered quietly.
These words made the muscles in old Benedict's face twitch constantly, but if he did it again, he would choose to do it, the inexplicable customer suddenly changed from an ordinary person to a big knight, and forcibly took the items in the store, he would not bet that the other party was a good person, it was a joke with his own life, he lived in an environment without morality and righteousness for the first half of his life, so he never thought that being suspicious was a bad thing.
"The old gentleman was worried too much, and I went to the antique shop only to find a treasure that was important to me, and I had no intention of making money or killing me. What's more, if I have evil intentions and kill you directly, everything will not be mine. Yesterday I asked you what you wanted, but you didn't answer, and today I ran away early in the morning, so I had to catch up and make some amends, so as not to be upset. ”
Seeing Charon's sincere attitude, Benedict and the others looked at each other, Simina and Vivien opened their mouths slightly, not knowing how to explain, because of their reasons, Benedict demonized Charon, causing the misunderstanding to evolve into this.
"Is there anything else you can help with? Otherwise, I'll leave Gavin with the army, and I won't see each other again. ”
"Lord Knight, I remember that you got the Stone of Yolanda yesterday, and said that you could do one thing for me as much as you could, and I won't accept these potions, and I hope you will fulfill this previous agreement. Actually, this time the matter could have come to an end, but Benedict suddenly thought that this was a golden opportunity, so he spoke cautiously, and secretly observed Charon's face, which did not show unswerving.
"I can fulfill my promise, and the potion will not have to be returned to me, but as a gift to Connie, to thank her for her hospitality these days. The Stone of Yolanda has helped me a lot, and you are fully qualified to ask for it, as long as I can do it. ”
Benedict's eyes showed a look of determination, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to ask you to help me kill a few people!" ...... There is a kind of sadness in the world, that is, with the sticky note code words in the mobile phone, ready to copy after all selection, it turned out that there are a few lines at the bottom that are blank lines, and the funny b clicked the backspace key, and all of them were deleted ~
