Chapter 54: Hold on
Come to collect, come to recommend tickets, and come to the comment area to irrigate!
The Templars of this world were not a bunch of elm bumps, and they would also consider a strategic shift when faced with huge casualties and an invincible enemy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the wish was good, and the reality was not always smooth, and a group of Templars could only sigh in vain in the face of the heavy gate that had fallen with a bang.
After several days of fierce fighting, especially under the attack of the Queen of the Abeebees, the Knights Templar suffered heavy casualties. At this time, the number of people who remained was less than thirty percent, and almost all of them were injured. The surviving soldiers were all above the high ranks, which was probably the only good news, and it was normal, and the less powerful individuals had a lower survival rate in the heat of battle.
Several priests who were unwilling to give up struggled to wield huge flails, and some knights went up to help. However, the flail, which is unusually reliable, is like a grasshopper shaking a tree in front of the heavy stone gate, and it can't even let it fall a little dust.
The knight's shield slammed into the gate, but it had no effect, but instead cracked the tiger's mouth and opened its flesh. Swords and spears could not help this solid wall, and could only make a piercing creak on it in vain.
"Don't give up, listen to me, we still have a chance. "Xiao stopped the chaos among his subordinates in time, giving everyone new confidence before the situation deteriorated further and could lead to the collapse of the army's organization.
Xiao took off her helmet and held one hand to her chest so that everyone could see the commander's face, "Hold on a little longer." ”
He glanced at each soldier's eyes one by one, and the commander's calm expression and determined look infected everyone. Looking at the soldiers who had quieted down, Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "I admit that the situation is a little unexpected, after all, no one thought that we would fight the legend head-on." ”
The soldiers all agreed that fighting a legend is indeed a matter of human life, and fighting a legend of the French system has no hope of victory at all, and that is not something that can be done by relying on a large number of people.
Xiao looked back at the sub-bee people, this mountain peak had some kind of power to suppress the bee people, and they could only fly low along the mountain road. This is a good thing, at this height, the Templars have enough ability and strength to counterattack.
However, because the flight area is restricted, the distance between the bees has become smaller, and the height of a few meters from the ground of the mountain road is densely packed with these insects! Even Xiao, in the face of the countless compound eyes of these big insects, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva quietly.
"But it doesn't matter, we haven't failed yet. Before the bee people could attack, Xiao worked hard to motivate the soldiers, and he was also giving himself courage.
"But what exactly is our mission, Commander?" said one soldier. According to the tradition of the Knights Templar, only the Supreme Commander had the right to know the purpose of the mission, and the rest of the people only had to obey the order and carry it out.
It can be said that from the moment of receiving the task, everyone's lives were completely in the hands of the front-line commanders. From this, it can be seen that the Knights Templar was a rather authoritarian place, with more emphasis on the distinction between superior and lower classes than the average army.
"Our purpose ......" Xiao didn't hesitate too much, to this extent, there was no need to keep it secret, "It's for the thunder gun!"
"What?
"Is that legendary artifact here?"
"Thunderbolt, why is that thing here?"
"We're not here to reseal the Old Dominators?"
"How is it possible, I had heard that we had come to destroy the pagan gods. ”
"Destroy, stop dreaming, is it up to you?"
It was like throwing a big stone into a calm lake, and the quiet atmosphere was broken at once, and the soldiers were whispering below. Before leaving, they had already made various guesses about the purpose of the trip, and many of them were ready to sacrifice. In the face of a true god, even if it is just an empty shell, no one dares to guarantee that he can go back alive!
But now that I know that the Knights' target is actually the Church artifact, the Thunderbolt, which is really ...... That's great!
The Thunderbolt, also known as the Spear of Light, is a weapon used by the Archangel of Light, Luu, under the seat of the Lord of Light. Unlike the Seraph, the Archangel was born on the Heavenly Hill and is a true primordial angel, which is also an angel in the ordinary sense of the word in the mouth of mortals. They were born to spread the glory of God, and that is their innate calling, the meaning of their lives.
Because the Heavenly Mountain is the leaf of the World Tree, the superior archangels born in such places are born with powerful divine powers, and the accompanying weapons born at the same time as them are also real artifacts, not comparable to the artifacts made by the acquired people, which are generally called holy weapons to distinguish them. However, in the eyes of most mortals, there is probably not much difference between the two, and confusion in terms of titles is inevitable.
Despite the extraordinary origin of this artifact, the Thunderbolt, or Spear of Light, the soldiers not only did not feel pressure, but cheered when they learned that this was the goal of this mission.
It's not that their thinking is too rough, it's really that there is contrast to be happy. No matter how you think about it, it's much easier to capture an artifact than it is to seal it or even kill a true god outright. The latter, to a normal person, is simply a hopeless lunatic task.
Instead of being happy, only one person became worried. Ferdinand always remembered his captivity, and was silent. He had believed that although the Templars had become his enemies for the time being, the purpose of the two sides should still be the same, but it was only at this time that he realized that things were not what he thought.
"Just to pierce the thunder gun, what about the body of the pagan god? just let it go?" of course this was questioning, and this devout believer had some difficulty accepting this fact.
"Of course, that's the only way, the thunderbolt is the first target! As for the rest, you have also seen our current situation, do you think we can do more? It is better to think about how to survive first. Xiao tilted his head and motioned for Ferdinand to count the swarming bee soldiers, that was not a problem that could be solved by just shouting two slogans!
Looking at the hideous-looking bee-man with teeth and claws, Ferdinand also felt dizzy, and he couldn't help but suffocate, unable to speak anymore.
"But you don't have to worry too much. Xiao commanded the soldiers to take advantage of the terrain to set up a temporary defensive line, and every second of resistance at the moment could give him a little more hope of survival. He said: "The body of the old ruler has the Holy See to deal with, so you don't have to worry too much. In addition, the Templar has also sent a large number of people, so you should worry about these bugs in front of us!"
As he spoke, the two sides had come into contact, and the Abebee and the human soldier collided together without any fancy fancy. However, the remaining human soldiers present were already high-level professionals, and as soon as they made contact, the bee-men suffered a big loss, countless insect stumps flew and body fluids splashed, and the battle became fierce at the beginning.
The Abel Bee people didn't care about the casualties, they became less intelligent humanoids, more like the ones they appeared, like giant insects without reason.
