Chapter 103: Bloody Battle and Self-Blame
Chapter 103: Bloody Battle and Self-Blame
A flying feather mercenary with a white goose feather on his fur hat appeared in front of Lorlist, he was smiling with a blood-stained flail in his hand, and there were two or three bloody guards lying beside him, except for one who was already silent, the other two were still twitching on the ground.
The flying feather mercenary turned his head and saw Lorist walking towards him with a calm face, he stopped smiling and narrowed his eyes, and when Lorist was about to arrive, he suddenly let out a loud cry, and the flail in his hand smashed down on his face.
With a "bang", the flail slammed into the ground, causing a cloud of dust and smoke and smashing a small hole in the ground.
Before he could come back to his senses, he caught a glimpse of the figure on his side out of the corner of his eye, and before he could turn his head to see it clearly, an indescribable pain made his whole body tremble involuntarily, he looked down, but saw that his chest and stomach had been disemboweled at some point, and the internal organs in his body were flowing out.
"Uh......" The flying feather mercenary only felt that it was quickly darkening in front of him, and he no longer had any strength, and when he fell to the ground, he was already a corpse.
Is this the tenth or eleventh Feather Mercenary? When he rushed into the crowd, he found that the battle was more tragic than he had imagined, and more guards in double iron armor and guards in chain mail fell to the ground. At a quick glance, Lorist spotted no less than twenty or thirty iron-clad guards and guards on the ground.
Lorist's figure turned into a gust of wind, sweeping through a crowd of fierce battles, and the four of them formed a battle formation and coordinated very well, killing the seven or eight guards and guards around them to the point of sweat, and the back of their cheeks and cheeks could not support it, and soon one or two of the flying feather mercenaries who had to lie down in a circle covered their blood-spattered throats and fell to the ground in a circle. The seven or eight guards and guards were stunned, and saw Lorlist's back, and the joy of getting out of trouble and the coming reinforcements made their morale soar, and they shouted "Norton!" while following Lorlist's back and desperately killing the white-haired feathered mercenary on his head.
As long as Lorist appeared, the guards and guards there were like chickens, and their morale was doubled. The scales of victory in the melee quickly tipped in Lorlist's side.
It's not that the mercenaries of those Flying Feather Mercenary Corps are not brave, in fact, even Lorist has to admit that those Flying Feather Mercenaries are more courageous than the guards and guards who were born from bandits, and their martial arts are more skilled and exquisite, and the most important thing is that these Flying Feather Mercenaries have all awakened their fighting spirit, even if they are bronze Flying Feather mercenaries, one is more than enough to deal with three or four guards. If it weren't for the fact that the guards who had also awakened their fighting spirit took on most of the attack pressure, I am afraid that the casualties of those guards would have been even more heavy.
Lorist is extremely ruthless and merciless, as long as he encounters the Flying Feather mercenaries, none of them can save their lives. In Lorist's heart, the moment was full of remorse. I imagined so many situations with everyone in advance, but no one expected that under the threat of more than 20 city-guarding crossbows, the flying feather mercenaries who were like trapped beasts would dare to resist, and they only paid more than ten lives so that the city-guarding crossbows could no longer pose a threat to them. And the guards and guards who surrounded them and thought that they could force the Flying Feather Mercenary Group to surrender just by acting on their own face ushered in a tragic and bloody battle that they did not expect......
It's all my fault...... Lorist retreated, his figure flickered, and a backhand sword was inserted into the back of the Flying Feather mercenary who was cut through by his own sword, and the long sword came out through his chest......
I was too careless, I shouldn't have thought everything so well, thinking that these flying feather mercenaries would obediently abandon their weapons and surrender under the threat of the crossbow of the defending car...... Lorist dashed away, decapitating a feathered mercenary who was about to plunge his two-handed sword into the body of a fallen guard. A stream of blood erupted from the headless neck, dousing Lorist into a bloody man.
Lorist didn't bother to dodge and let the blood doze her. It's all my fault, I'm too trusted, and the previous victories have paralyzed me, thinking that everything will develop according to my vision, but I forgot that the battlefield is the most prone to accidents. I didn't expect that the Flying Feather Mercenary Group would suddenly appear with two gold-level shield guards, entangled myself alive.
Even if the master of Siroba broke Lorlist's plan with a loud voice, Lorist still didn't care at that time, thinking that everything was still under his control. Josk was to deal with the Feather mercenaries outside the city, Pat was to surround the tent area with two hundred and eighty other guards and guards, and Ovicis and Sedkamp were to command the castle guards on the hillside and on the city walls, respectively. As long as he takes down the Adams leader of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group, then he can smoothly land the Flying Feather Mercenary who is resting in the tent area, and the whole plan can be perfectly concluded.
What I didn't expect was that there would be two more gold-level shield guards by the side of Captain Adams, who entangled Lorist for nearly twenty minutes, which was enough time for a lot of accidents to happen. Joske, Pat, Ovikis, Sedkamp, and Reddy all made arrangements according to the plan, but Lorist made a mistake here, leaving Captain Adams unattended, and as a result, he gathered men to counterattack the guards, so that all plans were useless, and an unexpected bloody battle broke out.
It was precisely because of the heavy casualties of the guards and guards that Lorist was so entangled and blamed himself, and before the northbound convoy led by Fat Man and Bodfinger arrived, Lorist had been troubled by the lack of manpower in his family. The so-called four major families in Beiye Town have not yet been cleaned up, and the city is being built here, facing the threat of the Kenmax family, and there are still mountain barbarians in the territory making trouble, although when the convoy came over, Josk showed his might, and the magic arrow shot away the mountain barbarian cavalry, but no one can say whether those mountain barbarians will retaliate and send troops to make trouble for Lorist.
Lorist felt that the deployment of manpower was really stretched, not because there was no one, but because it was useless. Just like in Maple Grove Villa, only about 130 of the nearly 2,000 people have awakened their fighting spirit, and more than 40 of them are over thirty-eight years old, all of them are former family soldiers who have retired from the family for various reasons, they are either disabled or injured, and Lorist wants to form a team of guards who have all awakened their fighting spirit, and they can only pull them in to fill up the 120 people.
The reason why Lorist wants to teach all the young people in Maple Grove Villa who are willing to awaken their fighting spirit, even despite the opposition of the old manager of Cress, is because he feels that the crisis is in front of him, and the family is in a precarious state. One of the biggest reasons why Lorist wants to move the main castle to the castle site that has not yet been built here is to avoid the threat of Kitano Town, which is a secret that Lorist did not tell anyone, only he and Sedkamp knew.
Sedercamp spent two days in Kitano, not to assist the Codan steward in registering the population, but to follow Lorist's instructions to befriend the frustrated family and money-hungry garrison of Kitano. He got an unbelievable message from a drunken garrison, and the drunken garrison said that the four major families together could pull out nearly five or six hundred clansmen who had awakened their fighting spirit, although most of them were bronze and black iron, and there were also four or five people from each family who could be promoted to the silver rank. Otherwise, why did the four major families secretly organize caravans for smuggling to foreign countries, without the existence of these forces, they would have been swallowed up by the dark forces of the underground world, or those territorial garrisons passing by.
In the past hundred years, these civilian families in Beiye Town have paid special attention to the cultivation of their family children, although they have cultivated the fighting spirit of the former Krisson Empire army, which is much more complex and difficult to practice than the basic fighting spirit of the Lorist Sect, but because of their superior living conditions, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, so there are more and more children who are physically strong and awaken their fighting spirit. The reason why the four major families were able to control Kitano Town was that the children of the family had awakened the most fighting spirit, and they became the victors in several family arms fights in Kitano Town.
Lorist is glad that the smuggling caravan secretly organized by the four major families in Beiye Town is also circling in the Northland, and they can't pass through the Mitobro River, a natural barrier that cuts off the communication between the Northland and the outside world, otherwise if the smuggling caravan of the four major families arrives in Moriente City, sends their children to study there or buys the basic Dou Qi and those high-level Dou Qi cheats, then the Norton family will really not be able to suppress the ambition of the four major families.
At that time, these four major families can destroy the Norton family in turmoil, and find a random son to marry the orphan daughter of the Norton family, so that within twenty or thirty years, the angry bear family in the north can be rightfully replaced by one of the four major families. Fortunately, these four families do not have such a far-reaching vision, in the final analysis, they are a group of rich people, they have never seen the world, their eyes are staring at the one acre and three points of land in front of them, and they are concerned about the interests of every copper coin. Now that Lorist has returned to the family, the end of these four families is just around the corner.
If Kitano Town is really as the family thought before, there are more than a dozen members of the garrison who have awakened their fighting spirit, then Lorist doesn't mind leading the team of awakened guards in the family to go directly to Kitano Town to kill and eliminate all the unstable factors, but Lorist had to think about it after getting the news from Sedkamp, and sometimes he also thought that if so many of the awakened manpower in Kitano Town were at his disposal, then the Norton family could even ignore the dog* The fart of the Grand Duke of the Northland has ordered a tax increase.
But just think about it, Kitano is still nominally under the rule of the Norton family, but in fact, Lorist thinks that it is a greater threat to the family than the mountain barbarians. The difference in strength is too great, and Lorest can only adopt a strategy of pacification and division while waiting for the arrival of the northbound convoy. For example, this time the population registration of Kitano Town made Lorist hateful, and the four major families stuffed their children into the expanded garrison on the one hand, and on the other hand, they blocked the families of those who had been cleared from the garrison to register, secretly inciting their dissatisfaction with the family, so as not to be used by Lorist for those who awakened their fighting spirit.
Of the nearly 1,500 bereaved family soldiers and landless residents that Lorist brought back last time, less than ten of them had awakened their vindictiveness. Lorist could only endure and wait for his plan to divert Kitano Town to work, and when the garrisons who had been cleared and lost their fields had a dispute with the four major families and were escorted to Huyang Beach for the construction of a new town, that was the time for Lorist to make a move.
The Lorists fought on the battlefield, but they had a lot on their minds. Every time I saw a guard and guard lying in a pool of blood, the self-remorse deepened. These are the family's current precious people, but they were sacrificed because of their own improper planning, which made Lorist hate himself and the Adams leader of the Flying Feather Mercenary Regiment even more. What made Lorist wonder why Commander Adams would resist in such a desperate situation, even if they eliminated the guards and guards surrounding the tent area, they would face a retaliatory attack from the defenders, did they still think they could retake the castle site?
Two green arrows swept past Lorliste's eyes, knocking the two flying feather mercenaries to the ground, this was Josk on the city wall, and the cheers of the surrounding guards and guards became louder and louder, and the eyes were empty, and there was no longer a single flying feather mercenary still standing around.
Lorist shook his head, sobering himself up from his frustration. Not far away, two groups of people gathered, as if they were watching something.
Lorist walked over, the crowd automatically dispersed, and Lorist went in to see that the open space in the middle of the crowd was fought by Reddy and a silver-level flying feather mercenary. Reddy's thighs, left ribs, and chest were cut out, and blood remained. However, Reddy coped with it quite easily, on the contrary, the silver-level flying feather mercenary who was his opponent was gasping for breath, with a panicked look on his face, and even the white sword flashing on the long sword in his hand was also uncertain, he had reached the end of the crossbow, and Reddy had won.
Lorist left the crowd and walked towards the place where the other group had gathered. Before he had taken three or four steps, he heard a scream behind him, followed by cheers and cheers from the people......
