Chapter 129 Facing the flames of war, all the way to the west

A large ball of fire claimed dozens of lives, and the exact number could not be counted, because many of the bodies were torn apart.

Not to mention that the Hanhai Iron Rider who was recruited was blind to death, even the "murderer" Chang Le himself was surprised, and was shocked by the power of the mage on the battlefield.

If you encounter an enemy army with a mage in the future, you must not rashly send your subordinates to die, you must first abolish the mage on the other side!

Mages, on the other hand, are generally heavily protected, and against enemy mages, they either have to use their own mages to bombard, or they have to find other more effective methods.

Let Blue Moon continue to improve in the assassination route, and switch to the sniper specialty, you can become a mage nemesis.

However, no matter how hard she practiced herself, she could only learn a few basic talent skills, such as the stealth of the third-order assassination system.

If she wants Lan Yue to learn more professional skills, she has to send her to the cultivation sect of the Assassination Department, where she has accumulated a lot of wisdom from her predecessors, such as the "Angry Wave Slash" that Fei She used against Chang Le, which is the exclusive secret technique of the Blood Soul Valley.

It's just that there are not many sects in the empire, and only the Blood Soul Valley is good at assassination, and they are often rivals!

Do you want to send Lan Yue to go undercover? Will her Meizu identity be exposed?

The more Chang Le thought about it, the more he became engrossed, and if he hadn't found that several injured people were about to die, I was afraid that he would have pondered for a longer time.

After all, it was more important to understand the military situation, so he quickly took out the Phantom Feather Tianlu, saved two enemy soldiers, and then moved one of them to the east and dragged the other to the west, and separated them for separate interrogation.

"I confessed, can you not kill me?" the other begged pitifully.

Chang Le nodded without hesitation:

"As long as you tell the truth, I will never kill you. ”

"I said, I said it all...... What are you trying to tell me?"

"Troop deployment, battle plan, battle situation ahead, you can say whatever you know! Hide one, and I'll cut off one of your fingers!"

The man was frightened by a large fireball, and immediately confessed to it all.

Chang Le's question is very big, but in fact it is also a deception, and he does not expect a grassroots soldier to know everything, the principle he learned in the military academy is that soldiers only obey, not to think too much, and not to tell them too much.

However, the Hanhai Iron Cavalry is rather peculiar, and every soldier knows exactly what they are going to do, because their "wolf pack tactics" require everyone to be a wolf, to have basic judgment, and to understand their duties.

Soon after, Chang Le figured out that the "tens of thousands of troops" mentioned by the leader of the other party were pure bluffs, and the Hanhai King's ** team was strong, but the number was not large, and the total strength of this invasion was only more than 6,000 people.

Of course, with such a ferocious cavalry, 6,000 people is already a terrifying force, and the total collapse of the 200,000-strong army in the western frontier of the empire is ultimately due to the fact that they cut off the back road.

At present, these 6,000 men are scattered into dozens of small units, using "wolf pack tactics", wandering around the entire Western Front, looting and making fortune while searching for remnants of the enemy, so as to prevent the Empire from routing and returning to the rear to regroup.

Once encountering a large number of enemy troops, and the other side still has the will to resist, these Hanhai cavalry will temporarily avoid the battle, track from afar, and at the same time blow the horn to transmit the message, and the small troops of dozens of kilometers nearby can gather together to encircle and annihilate them.

The horn of the Hanhai cavalry is very special, the raw material comes from the demonic beast Kohl Dragon Rhino, the pronunciation is low and weird, it can be transmitted for hundreds of miles, and it will not be confused with the horns of other armies.

As for the meaning expressed by the change in the length of the trumpet, the two confessed separately, and there was no contradiction, indicating that they were all true.

The main force of this invasion is the combined forces of Fisher and Zalan, mainly infantry, and is steadily advancing from the west, and the number is said to be as high as 200,000.

After hearing this, Chang Le knew it in his heart and nodded:

"Your handling of the rout is to kill them with one sword?"

The answer is generally not unexpected, but the Hanhai people will still do some screening, the nobles will not kill, they will be captured and returned for ransom, and the civilian officers and soldiers will of course be dead.

Chang Le was angry in his heart, and his face was calm:

"You are all like this to civilians today, killing people first, and then robbing property? Men are killed, and women are kidnapped?"

This time the two answered differently.

One of them looked oily-eyed, and after a little hesitation, he insisted that they rarely killed civilians, and that the massacre that Changle saw today was a coincidence, because the other party resisted.

The other person was dumbfounded, still immersed in the fear of the big fireball, and told him honestly, saying that it was the practice of the Hanhai people to invade other countries, killing all the men could weaken the enemy's strength, and the women had to be captured in order to multiply their own population.

Hanhai allows polygamy, but there are so many women in the country, if the poor want to marry a bunch of wives and can afford to support them, they have to be soldiers to come to the battlefield, catch women, and rob gold coins.

For women, the Hanhai people are accustomed to "signing" when they are caught, and taking a knife to engrave a mark on the opponent's arm, so as to distinguish the ownership of the spoils of war after they are transported back.

Women who are too beautiful sometimes cause disputes, some people say "I see it first", some people say "I catch up first", and when it is difficult to determine the right to belong, everyone has to take turns to kill them so as not to affect the friendship between comrades.

Chang Le realized that if he hadn't made a timely move just now, the innocent girl who looked like Fanny would have ended up like this.

The man also confessed that his own mother was snatched from his father from the Fisher Kingdom, and was one of his father's six wives.

But this is only applicable when it is convenient to transport women, if the war situation is urgent, or when the whole army is broken and flees, and if you see a woman, you will not be left alive, and since you can't get it, you can't keep it to give birth to the enemy country.

"How do you treat the untouchables in the city?" Chang Le suppressed his anger and continued to ask.

"Untouchables have nothing to rob of, and untouchable women cannot marry, which will stain the blood of their offspring. ”

The man still answered honestly, and he didn't see that Chang Le was a pariah, and he had no scruples when he spoke:

"Those pig-like guys, when they saw it, were too lazy to take care of it. The pretty woman can be brought back to the camp, and everyone can have fun together, in this case there is no need to kill, the untouchables are weak, and they will die while playing. ”

At this, he smiled a little, as if he was reminiscing about that time.

But when Changle heard this, his face was like frost, and he immediately drew his sword and got up, and walked in front of the guy who claimed to "don't kill civilians":

"I'm done asking, you are lying in some places, according to the agreement, I will kill you. ”

The other party hurriedly shouted loudly, and struggled to get up and run away.

Chang Le stabbed him in the abdomen with a sword, stirred it, and brought out a string of intestines when he drew the sword, and then abandoned it, letting him struggle and howl, and die as slowly as possible.

However, he returned to the "honest man":

"You told the truth, according to the agreement, I will not kill you. ”

The man laughed, and before he could say "thank you", he was mentioned by Chang Le:

"But I can't let you go, you killed so many civilians, I handed you over to civilians to dispose of. ”

This murderous executioner, thrown into the refugee herd, is like throwing a sheep to a pack of wolves, and he is soon torn apart with a scream.

Some of the refugees fled early and may not have known the brutality of the invaders, but just now many vehicles were attacked by the Hanhai cavalry, and those survivors who lost their loved ones, even a girl, screamed and pounced on the guy and kicked him hard.

And many more people were full of gratitude and reverence, and came to Changle to express their gratitude, some bowed, and some people prostrated to kiss the tips of his shoes, and the gesture was respectful and pious, and it was like a messenger sent by the gods.

Chang Le's face is delicate and extraordinary, the timing of his appearance is clever enough, and his strength is strong enough, in addition to killing people with a sword, he can also release a big fireball, and no one has heard that magicians can also fight hand-to-hand, so he can only be interpreted as an "angel".

This time, Chang Le calmly endured it, and did not stop everyone from worshipping, but looked down at them with a holy face:

"I am not an angel, but I represent the light, and I am here for the suffering of the world, and I am the angry wind!"

"Fury Wind! He's Fury Wind! It was a robber who saved us!"

His words caused a large number of exclamations, the savior in front of him was actually a famous bandit leader, but instead of taking advantage of the fire to rob, the robbers came to save people, what is the reason?

Only the merchant family in the crowd already knew Chang Le's identity in advance, and at this time he corrected everyone loudly:

"He's a good guy! He's not a robber, he's a thief!"

After shouting, the merchant smiled and looked at Chang Le, hoping that his help would make Chang Le even happier.

But Chang Le was not satisfied, the amplification function of the king's suit was turned on, and the loud declaration spread far and wide in the wilderness:

"This word 'thief' is an official slander, don't mention it again! My troops are called the Knights of Heaven! My duty is to sweep away all darkness! Bring justice and equality to the world!"

At this time, with everyone's mood, of course, Chang Le believed whatever he said, and suddenly thousands of people shouted a tsunami:

"Knights of Heaven! Knights of Heaven!"

From today on, the name "Knights of Heaven" is no longer a gang of bandits in the reputation of people in the Eastern Continent.

And the Knights' own way of behaving has since bid farewell to the "ransom fee" and "toll tax", and has moved closer to a real armed force.

It seems that with Chang Le's declaration, a large group of cavalry swept in from the east, several times more than the Hanhai cavalry that was raging before.

This team is also strong and athletic, and they also maintain their formation in a gallop.

There was a flag at the front of the line, a black military flag!

One of the refugees shouted:

"Black Flag Bandits!"

But then someone corrected:

"It's the Knights of Heaven!

At the front of the team was a stunning beauty, with long hair flying and a military uniform.

Chang Le greeted him with a smile and shouted loudly:

"Blue Moon, you came quickly, the team is well trained, and the hundreds of new brothers can fight?"

"No problem!

The blue moon galloped on her horse, and it was not until she almost collided with Chang Le that she suddenly pulled the reins, deliberately letting the horse raise its front hooves and neigh upright, making her more and more majestic.

But there was another person behind her, smiling and saluting Chang Le:

"Report to the boss! Blue Moon is very good, but when it comes to training troops, obviously I contribute more!"

It turned out to be the original captive Captain Jason!

Chang Le smiled and nodded, and turned to Blue Moon again:

"How are you going to take Jason out? Aren't you afraid he'll run away?"

"He's been willing to join the gang for a long time, isn't he, Jason?" asked Blue Moon looking back.

Jason smiled and nodded.

But Lan Yue immediately lifted the horse closer to Chang Le's side and whispered in his ear:

"Master, Jason is in love with me, and if I let him die, he won't frown. I did not accept it, nor did I refuse, how to develop in the future, I have to wait for your instructions. ”

Chang Le was dumbfounded, but Lan Yue smiled and turned her horse back, gesturing to the brothers, ordering everyone to line up and wait for the boss to review.

More than 500 cavalry quickly lined up neatly, and the momentum was quite solemn.

Chang Le galloped along the line, accepted the salute from his subordinates, and smiled and nodded all the way.

When he came to the end of the race, he turned his horse back, but he was facing the refugees on the road:

"Look at my military flag! black? Yes! Black represents the darkness of the world, and the diagonal white line on the flag represents the light in the darkness! This is the purpose of the Knights of Heaven! Whoever wants to join me in eradicating the darkness, helping the weak, and defending the light, come with me now!"

Most of these refugees are homeless, some of them penniless and desperate, and the perfect time to recruit is possible.

Lan Yue couldn't help but follow and reminded in a low voice:

"Master, these refugees are civilians, not untouchables!"

"Who said that my team only recruits untouchables?" Chang Le frowned and turned his head, "We pursue justice and equality, what is equality, don't you understand?"

"Yes!" Lan Yue, as a soul servant, of course, had no room to talk back, and only obediently accepted the reprimand.

Chang Le relied on the fact that he had just swept away a hundred strong enemies alone, which could be called a god-like performance, and his prestige was high at the moment, and he was deeply worshiped by the refugees.

He struck while the iron was hot and told everyone that they did not have to worry about their families, that young people had joined the team, and that women, children, and children could be escorted to the northern safety camp.

This time, everyone did not hesitate, now they continue to flee in a daze, they don't know where to go, even if they are not caught up by the Hanhai people, they may die of thirst and starvation on the road, and join the Heavenly Knights, but they can let the whole family be sheltered.

As for whether the Knights are good or bad, the facts just now are in front of us.

People have a herd mentality, and others have defected to the Knights, and if they are left behind, it is as if they have been abandoned, so they must follow along.

Even the refugees who had already gone far away returned one after another when they heard the movement here, and after inquiring about the reason, they made the same decision.

As a result, the first major expansion of the Knights of Heaven took place, and the number of young and strong men soared to 1,050, and 4,000 or 5,000 women and children who needed to be taken care of were added.

The Red Mountain camp was stuck in a war zone and could no longer live, so Chang Le divided the troops into two groups, and 100 people stayed near this main road to patrol to protect the follow-up refugees, and by the way, continued to recruit people from it, and a few more powerful Dalit subordinates were in charge.

If the Hanhai Iron Cavalry is attacking, Changle's combat effectiveness is not enough to fight, but it can rely on the lack of armor, it is a complete light cavalry, relying on speed and flexibility, taking the short bow that Changle has just purchased, and interfering with cavalry and shooting, so that the enemy can not concentrate on plundering the refugees.

The main force was in charge of Blue Moon, with the newly recruited brothers and a huge team of dependents, returning to the Red Mountain base with all the wagons, food, and baggage, pulling away the women and children left behind in the camp, and all of them went north and moved to the Wild Rose Camp outside the Devil's Forest.

There weren't enough people living in that place, but the invaders were supposed to be heading eastward rather than north, and the only threats were from Warcraft and the like.

The Knights' combat force of up to 500 people is enough to protect everyone from camping safely outside, relying on the core area of Amy's business to form a larger settlement and reclamation area, and now this season, there are still many crops that have time to be planted.

The new recruits are still trained by Blue Moon and Jason.

"Master, what about yourself?" Lan Yue couldn't help but ask out loud when she heard that all kinds of deployments had nothing to do with Chang Le himself.

Chang Le took a deep breath and looked westward;

"I'm facing the flames of war all the way to the west!"

"Be courageous!" Lan Yue smiled, "But you are not alone, there will definitely be someone to accompany you, and you can't do it if you don't agree." ”

Chang Le frowned:

"Who will accompany me, you are responsible for leading the team, Lao Hei and Steel Claw can't leave the team either, beware of the attack of master cultivators!"

Blue Moon was helpless, and stretched out her hand to the team:

"Two days ago, there was a man on horseback, running around in the place where we frequented, and kept calling your name and scolding you so badly and loudly, that our scouts found out and took her back, and I saw it...... Master, that's how she's coming to you!"

Chang Le followed the direction of Lan Yue's finger, but he didn't find anything special, there was just a rider who was extremely thin, and the brim of his soft hat was very low, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

Suddenly, Chang Le's body shook, because his eyes finally caught the strand of hair under the brim of the hat, and the gold was particularly dazzling.

"Princess Wendy!"

He shouted "princess", and the delicate little mouth under the brim of the hat also grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.

The princess first laughed and scolded Blue Moon:

"Okay, let me scare him, surprise him, you dare to betray me!"

Then Wendy lifted her hat, revealing a face as pure as water and as bright as a rose, and galloped towards Changle's horse:

"Big Tongue, you scoundrel who doesn't count! I'm going to catch you!"
