Chapter 33: The Crusade

In a grove of grey bread trees outside Limestone Town. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

With a whistling that pierced the air, Levi danced the sling, aiming at the target that had been erected not far away. A pair of eyes stared at it all the time, like a cheetah peeking at an antelope.

The speed of the sling's maneuver is getting bigger and bigger......

When Levi finally felt the shot, the right arm, which was not very muscular, suddenly exerted force.

The stone ball the size of a man's fist shot out, and with the blessing of Levi's dragon-like power, it even had a speed comparable to that of a rifle bullet in the moment it broke away from the sling. The stone ball, which surpassed the speed of sound, emitted a piercing sonic boom at the moment of breaking through the air resistance.

However, the price of surpassing thermal weapons with manpower was that at this moment, the catapult could not withstand the centrifugal force of the stone projectile at the same time, and it was directly broken in two. The stone projectile flew out in the tangential direction at the moment when the piso broke. But not towards the target, but in the opposite direction, to Levi's back.

Eventually, the terrifying stone projectile struck the thick trunk of a grey loaf tree. It carved out a deep hole more than half a meter deep, and the edge of the hole was charred black.

The huge friction and the high temperature generated in that moment even ignited the wood of the gray bread tree!

When Levi saw the wisps of white smoke coming out of the tree hole, he could only express his deep silence for the "irregular movement of the stone throwing index".

"Alas, how did it fail again......"

"Since you've failed, you can just give up. Angus poked his head out cautiously. In front of him was an irregular pile of makeshift boulders, "This is the first time, my lord. You could have at least launched it in front of you, but now it's better to go straight to the back of your head......"

The pile of stones in front of the knight was two meters thick, about the height of a man. There were seven or eight other people around him, all hiding here, and they were all probing their brains at this time.

"Yes, Lord Duke, it's too dangerous for you to use a sling......"

"When it's time to fight, I don't dare to stand behind you......"

"Please, do it, it's in your hands, it's more terrifying than a forbidden spell......"

"Be careful, when the time comes, the enemy has not yet fallen, and our side will be left behind by you first......"

They gossiped, apparently noticing the grey bread tree, and looked at the black hole that was smoking out of thin air, and then swallowed one after another.

"I know what you mean, but I'm really one step away from success this time. Levi heard the kind words and persuasion of these guys, and his mind was full of black lines, "Almost, I controlled my strength......"

"You say that every time, but how many times has it failed. Angus retorted, his heart palpitating at the thought of Levi's terrifying appearance of using the sling, "I can only say that the sling's weapon is really not suitable for you." You just use the javelin and the spear thrower, aren't you very familiar with these things?"

"It's because I've practiced that I plan to learn it, don't you have a lot of skills? Levi looked at the broken leather cord in his hand, "Well, isn't there anything stronger?"

"It's made from deerskin, and it's the best leather we've ever come up with. "I've heard of some of the sturdier ones," Angus said, "but those things are not easy to come by." And with those materials, you might as well have someone make you a magic bow. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. Levi reluctantly accepted this reality.

His initial plan was actually a bow and arrow. But I didn't expect that my strength was too great, and most of the bows and arrows broke when I touched them. Later, the spear thrower recommended by Angus was good, and the iron was made, which could fully withstand his dragon power. It's a pity that after that, the slings went back to the old way and faced the same dilemma as the bow and arrow. After all, he is poor now, and he can't even get the materials that can withstand his dragon power.

"My lord, is this the end of today's practice? Angus, dressed in armor, looked at the sky above him, "It's almost noon, and it's time to strike." ”

"Well, that's what to do. ”

"Okay. Angus was relieved to hear this command, and he looked at the people behind him who were hiding behind the stone mound, "Al, you go to the city wall to report this order first." The other Hippogriff knights took off first, and if there was any abnormality, pay attention to report it at any time. ”

The "sortie" and "abnormal situation" they are talking about now are naturally aimed at the lizardmen who have wandered here.

Three days ago, when the walls were shaken, Angus and the others had noticed the sights of these lizardmen.

These scaly and creatures have come to the city wall to investigate, and it is really worrying that they may make small moves. In the past few days, after Levi has used the spear thrower with ease, he plans to use them to open the knife. In the past two days, Limestone Town has also been preparing for the start of the war.

About half an hour later, when smoke was billowing from the town, the men from the city walls rushed to the woods to join Levi and them. This team of one hundred and fifty people is mainly composed of forty crossbowmen and one hundred and ten shield spearmen. With the addition of the ten Hippogriff Knights accompanying him, this is already half of the strength of Limestone Town.

Judging from the information inquired, there are about 300 lizardmen tribes in this tributary that have fled to the vicinity of Limestone Town, and all men and women are young and middle-aged. Because they were fleeing in the first place, the old, the young, the sick and the disabled have been abandoned halfway. Lizardfolk are a completely unproductive race, and even female lizardmen are excellent fighters. In other words, these more than 300 guys are all enemies they have to deal with.

In order to complete the battle, Li Wei took out so many troops.

When all the men had arrived, Angus immediately began to organize his ranks, arranging the shield gunmen on all sides and the crossbowmen in the center, forming a huge phalanx.

At the same time, a shining brilliance appeared in front of Levi.

In a holy white light, countless particles of light that flew like fireflies in the night sky converged to form a huge and hideous body.

As always, the dragonborn beast roared as soon as it appeared, and the terrifying dragon groan suddenly echoed in the sky, startling one flock after another.

Scorching lowered its head so that Levi stood on its forehead, then lifted its thick neck again like a crane.

Looking down at the team below, Levi was ambitious.

"Fellow citizens of Grey Rock, maybe you were dissatisfied with me in the past, and maybe you felt wronged by your allegiance to me, a duke in name only. But I, Levi Arthur, declare to you in the name of the Dragon Knight that from now on I will use my strength and wisdom to bring your sword and shield to honor. All the glory and future starts from this moment, and sooner or later I will let Roland's starry sky resound in my name of Levi!"

The sunlight shone on Levi, who was dressed in fiery silver armor, and plated him with a golden halo.

Looking up at him standing on top of the dragon's head, Angus tightened the reins and motioned for the seated sword deer to be quiet. The position of this knight gentleman is exactly in front of Zhuo.

"The whole team sets off ......"

At the sound of his roar, the phalanx in front of him marched in orderly steps and rushed towards the west together.

With a wave of the reins, Angus looked back again and thought, "Isn't that a good point, it's not in vain that I wrote these war speeches overnight." Then he withdrew his gaze and trotted forward with the sword deer that had sat down.

For some reason, in the shadow of his scorching body, the knight had the feeling that he was stepping into an epic story.
