154 Books Explosion
The vanguard of 200 men in the Defeated City was attacking a farm surrounded by planks and fences, which was located between the roads and was the only way for the follow-up troops, and the forest army had to be emptied for a quick attack on the armory.
Zhou Shu hid far away from the farm, pulled off his black cloak and merged with heaven and earth, and watched the vanguard attack the enemy with fear.
The number of enemies in the stronghold of the farm is unknown, but there are only a few dozen non-commissioned officers of the defeated city who have rushed in to fight, and the large army is using their own weapons to cut through the dense fence blocking the way.
The Fourth Knight caught up with the group at some point, and did not know how to get in with them, as he was tearing down the enemy fortifications with the efficiency of a bulldozer with a wooden stake.
Zhou Shu has been running for so long, and he can see the marching strategy of the defeated army city army more or less. Although it is not known the exact number of legions involved, most of the manpower has been used to conquer and contain the stronghold of the Forest Army in the wide area in front of Xicheng, presumably to resist the reinforcements that may arrive in the defense. The real jīng regiments, such as the Torch Army, the One-Winged and Two-Winged Ravens, stabbed straight into the armory, typical of Duke Torch's military style.
This time, Duke Torch handed over the hardest bones to his own legion to gnaw, but no one accused him of anything. After all, if something happens this time, the Torch Family's military strength will at least be discounted.
The non-commissioned officers who formed the vanguard team quickly ended the battle in the farmstead, and the group fought the forest troops, who numbered more than 1,000 people armed with torches, and annihilated the enemy with a relatively small number. Zhou Shu hid high and looked out, and could see that the number of people holding torches was getting smaller and smaller. More and more buildings are being lit by falling torches.
The non-combatants also cleared all the fences that blocked the road in a matter of minutes, and by the way demolished two houses to make way for the approaching large troops.
This group of people is quite efficient, if this raid is not a trap for the forest country. At the speed of the vanguard, it is definitely possible to make a big fuss before the soldiers gather in the local armory.
Zhou Shu didn't rush forward with them, and still hid near the farm. He had to wait for Smith and Lilia's one-winged crow army to come over, so that they could persuade them to withdraw their troops, or at least let them be careful.
Ten minutes later, an army appeared in front of the farm, looking like the Rohan cavalry depicted in the Lord of the Rings. It's just that the horses of this world are much taller than the ones commonly used in Europeans.
The cavalry did not put up a flag, but the insignia of the one-winged crow could be seen on the colored armor worn by the horses. Zhou Shu felt that he was lucky, the One-Winged Crow Legion was the first to arrive here. So he didn't say a word, jumped out of the hiding place and went straight to the front of the line, and put on a posture to stop the horse from a distance.
The commander of the one-wing corps saw that there was a person in front of him blocking the way of the team, and without saying a word, he rushed over with his adjutant two steps faster.
Zhou Shu saw someone running towards him, and immediately threw a summoning book at them. These two people are tens of thousands of figures, and they don't look like recruits, so their rank in the army should not be low. Since the other party is coming. Zhou Shu retreated from the main road.
It is basically impossible for this large force of thousands of people to stop lightly, as long as the front stops, because the formation is too dense, the troops behind will not be able to brake and cause a rear-end accident.
The commander of the one-wing corps was relieved to see that the people in front of him had given way. She was ready to kill this person, but now it seems that she doesn't need it. On the march in peacetime, there were always some jian, businessmen, and people who mistook the army for the temple inquisition and stopped their horses to complain. The content is nothing more than small things like who hit whom, who stole whom. The One-Winged Dame didn't want to waste her time on such a thing.
When she and the adjutant approached Zhou Shu. only to find out that he was of an alien race, and the two immediately became vigilant. drove a horse around Zhou Shu in a circle. The adjutant looked suspicious and asked, "What are you doing? What is it that you want to intercept the marching troops?"
Zhou Shu was very grateful that the other party was willing to give him a chance to speak, and now that he was in a hurry, he didn't have the level of lingua franca to be polite to others, so he said it bluntly.
"My name is Zhou Shu. is a friend of the sick princess. I stopped you to remind you that there is a strange direction in front of the armory, and it is likely to be a trap in the country of the forest. If possible, I hope you will withdraw to the city as best you can. ”
The one-winged dame didn't understand, so she suddenly ran out and claimed to know the sick princess. Then he described the goal of his own army this time as a trap.
The adjutant frowned and looked at the alien in front of him: "You said your name is Zhou Shu......?
"It's not hell!" Why hasn't this stalk been used up yet? Zhou Shu didn't bother to correct it. "It's just an ordinary country. How the hell are you spreading these rumors in private?"
Although Master Zhou complained, he was very happy that his foreigner's affairs could be so famous, and everyone knew about it.
The One-Winged Dame asked her lieutenant, "Do you know this gentleman?"
The adjutant replied: "Sir, I have heard some new non-commissioned officers chat and mention him, it is true that he has black hair and black eyes, and he has a certain relationship with the sick princess." It seems to be a correspondence or something. ”
"It's not just letters, we know each other very well in private. "The kind that sees each other shirtless.
The One-Winged Dame nodded, her attitude instantly much better.
Zhou Shu...... I'm the captain of the One-Winged Raven Legion. What the hell are you stopping in our marching path......"
"I've already said it, there's a trap ahead, and you'd better withdraw your troops as soon as possible. ”
"Withdraw?" Wing smiled, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, unless you can produce evidence to prove your claim, allow me to refuse your request." ”
Zhou Shu didn't have any evidence.
The one-winged dame said, "How did you know that there was a trap in front of you?"
Because I used my golden finger to find Chief Kurogi and other ninth-level powerhouses in ambush together, of course Master Zhou couldn't say this kind of thing, so he told a little lie, "I've been secretly following Chief Kurogi and getting a little bit of information from him." The bombardment that took place yesterday at the western wall was actually a trick to lure the enemy, taking advantage of the Duke of Torch's military habits to set a trap for you to attack. ”
The One-Winged Dame nodded again, "Where's the proof?"
Zhou Shu cried, "You said you always asked me for evidence." What evidence can I have for this kind of thing? Could I have recorded it for you?"
Even if the audio is recorded, can you hear the voice of Chief Kuroki, can I still capture the current number one powerful man in the Big 6 and confront you alive?
While the three of them were arguing, the team of the One-Winged Raven Legion had already entered the farm.
The one-winged lady looked at the enemy stronghold destroyed by the vanguard and was quite skeptical of Zhou Shu's statement. A stronghold also has at least one thousand eight hundred soldiers, even if the forest army has an ambush, it is impossible to sacrifice the lives of nearly a thousand people to lay out.
The deputy corps commander also asked in a questioning tone: "Mr. Zhou Shu, I heard that you are a non-commissioned officer this year, and you were expelled from the school because you killed Sir Xilin in the bloody smoke and dust incident, right?"
"Framing Sir Xilin?, expelled?" Zhou Shu frowned and denied. "The slightest rumor, the situation at the time was ......"
"This is not a rumor, Mr. Zhou Shu!" the adjutant interrupted Zhou Shu. "This information was told to me by your classmates, and it is said that the last thing Sir Cillin said before he died was to expose you to the non-commissioned officers who were present at the time, saying that you were Jian Xi. I don't know if there's such a thing. ”
Zhou Shu remembered that Midali had told him that someone in the school spread rumors about herself, and the mastermind behind it should be Trek. At that time, Cui Ke had already hid because of Senior Sister An's affairs, and he had already resigned from his status as a non-commissioned officer and moved out of the school with Ula Mystery, so he didn't care much about this matter, but he didn't expect this bad reputation to still bring trouble to himself.
"Your Excellency Adjutant, the information you hear is deliberately framed, not true. In the face of rumors, Zhou Shu could only defend himself as much as possible.
The adjutant shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou Shu. You, a foreigner, and considered by the respected Sir Sir Cillin, are here to stop our march in a vain attempt to stop this surprise attack on the Forest Army with words. I have zero trust in you, sir. Now I advise you to get out of here, so that I don't slash your sword at the neck. ”
Somewhat dissatisfied with her lieutenant's decision on her behalf, the One-Winged Dame coughed to prevent him from continuing.
Zhou Shu felt that it was pointless to waste his lips and tongue here, he knew that he couldn't release the kind of mouth cannon that could turn things around, so he had to hug his fists and leave. Before leaving, he once again instructed the commander of the one-wing regiment to be careful with the form, and not to fight hard if she found something bad.
After the one-winged crow army crossed, the Beagle Raven Legion, the Light Army, the Torch Army, and Arni's Wings of Light Legion passed by. Zhou Shu has been waiting in place, extremely depressed. He neither left nor chose to follow. He wanted to find out about the situation from a distance, try to avoid the possibility of meeting with Chief Kurogi, and wait for Midali's Falconry Legion to persuade them to return.
The Eagle Killer did not ride horses on this march, and more than 1,000 people arrived slowly, and when they saw the traces of the battle on the farm, they immediately took a stance to meet the enemy.
Zhou Shu estimated that the armory should have been put on the side, and he didn't know what the situation was. Midali herself did not participate in the mission, but fortunately, Zhou Shu was quite familiar with the Falcon Killer, and he had seen several thousand people, so he posted it directly.
Just as he was about to inform the other party of his intentions, the armory in the distance burst into flames, and a violent explosion rolled up waves of air and smoke, and surrounded the flames that soared into the clouds.
Zhou Shu looked at the red-burned sky, and said in his heart: It's all right, with the reputation of a hawk killer, he doesn't need to be persuaded by others to see this battle, he has to run himself. (To be continued......)
