455. The guard battalion is not a shelter
The war-torn town of Umezu finally dawned the next day.
One. During the night, the hellhounds in the town were completely cleared by the Bernard army, and there was no doubt that the battle deployment of the Marquis of Luthor was very successful, with two regiments of swordsmen and a regiment of hoplites, a regiment of longbowmen, and three knights of the guard battalion successfully captured the town of Umezu and destroyed all the strongholds in the town that bred the sons of demons.
With the exception of one succubus who took advantage of the chaos and took a demon child, few other demon children fled the town.
Breaking through the clouds on the horizon, a morning sun gradually rose from the horizon, and in this jungle land, the night quickly receded.
Standing on the roof of the town, the members of the support squadron battle team suddenly saw a figure with dark gray flesh wings flying in the sky, she had human limbs and a head, except for a pair of wings on her back, she looked more like a passionate and unrestrained Grimm Empire woman, her eyes were full of hatred, and she held a demon child in her arms.
She had a few feathered arrows stuck in her fleshy wings, flapping them in the air, and dragging a tail with a barbed end as sharp as an anchor.
She spread her wings and glided through the air for some distance, but everywhere she went, the longbowmen standing on the roof shot a cloud feather arrow, her body was so agile that she occasionally slid in an 'S' arc in the air, avoiding the rain of arrows from the roof.
A team of magicians rode the magic handlebars to follow closely, and the fire bombs and wind blades roared from behind, and the succubus seemed to have a pair of eyes behind him, flying flexibly in the fire bullets and wind blades, Surdak was a little amazed at the excellent flying skills of this succubus.
The boy Buta was sitting on the terrace on the roof munching on half a sheet of scones, and when he saw the succubus being chased by the magician scout, he curiously asked Surdak:
"What's that?"
Surdak rubbed his eyes and withdrew his gaze from the sky, the morning sun was also extremely dazzling, Surdak looked down at Buta and said to him, "It should be a succubus, I have seen a similar one in the glass jar of the herbarium of the Magic Guild, which is said to be a low-level intelligent creature of the Hell Demon Clan." ”
Karl stood beside Surdak, looking up at the back of the succubus gradually disappearing into the air, and said in a tone that he couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour: "I heard that they have the most perfect female bodies, but such a pair of fleshy wings is really disgusting. ”
In the aristocratic society of the Grimm Empire, elves, Cana mermaids and succubi are all high-end goods that some nobles with special habits can't ask for, which is far more advanced than those lizard women and dwarf women, but because the upper class of the Grimm Empire still has some alliances with the nobles of the Silver Moon Elves, there is a certain strategic close connection, so elf slaves and orc slaves are prohibited in the Grimm Empire.
Unlike the forbidden sale of elven slaves, orc slaves are not only sold in some of the empire's legal codes, but only because the orc powerhouses will hunt down those who trade orc slaves all over the world.
Buta nibbled on a dry wheat cake and took a sip of the hot soup, which he would automatically skip if he didn't understand.
Watching the diminutive boy sit honestly on the roof, Karl secretly pulled Surda aside to the side.
Karl put his arm on Surdak's shoulder and asked Surdak privately, "Dak, you don't want this kid to join your vigilante, do you?" ”
There was some worry in his eyes, he didn't want to take this pot for Surdak, so he would take precautions as soon as possible, and wanted Surdak to dispel this idea early.
In fact, Surdak really didn't plan to absorb Buta into the security team, after all, Buta was too young to help Surdak do anything when he arrived at the security team, and Surdak didn't have the patience to spend a few years teaching a child, and Volcun and the knights had a lot of things waiting for him to do.
Surdak spread his hands and said, "Of course not, Buta is just very familiar with this town, and I don't plan to take him out of here." ”
Hearing Surdak's promise, Karl breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "That's good, I'm really worried that you will pull a child under the age of ten from the small town of Meijin to join your security team, I guess that's the biggest joke in our guard barracks." ”
Surdak smiled and didn't speak.
In fact, he would have liked to say to Karl that he would be able to say such things when he met Buta in a few years.
Buta's bravery, his keen perception of danger, his sense of survival in dangerous situations, and his perseverance in the face of difficulties all indicate that he will grow rapidly in the coming years, and after this plane war, a powerful seed has been planted in his body, as long as he is given a little time, he will be the best warrior in the maca plane.
The things that Buta has experienced are not comparable to those students in the Knight Academy.
Surdak glanced in the direction of the basement and said to Karl, "I just think it's time for us to make good on our promises." ”
"Promise?" Karl asked, confused.
Surdak didn't mention it, and Karl probably forgot that there was a group of survivors trapped in the basement on Buta's side.
Surdak leaned close to Karl's ear and said in a low voice, "I promised him that when we occupied the town of Umejin, I would help him rescue the survivors of Umezu from underground. ”
Karl was a little stunned and asked, "Those people hid in the basement and couldn't get out?" Did they bury themselves themselves? ”
Surdak whispered, "How else do you think they avoided the hellhounds?" ”
When discussing these topics, it is necessary to avoid Buta as much as possible, lest some wrong words irritate Butah, which is more than worth the loss.
"Of course that's fine, no one is better at this than we are."
Carl said, patting his chest.
He was such a warm-hearted man with the greatest kindness in his heart, which reminded Surdak of the first time he met Karl.
The support squadron combat team did not participate in the next search mission of the guards battalion knights in the small town of Umezu, and Karl asked Buta to lead the combat team to find a blacksmith shop first, and found some pickaxes and crowbars and other tools from the blacksmith shop, and a group of knights carried these rescue tools across the town of Umezu, and returned to the courtyard of the basement under the leadership of Buta.
The knights of the guard battalion had a good understanding of the architectural pattern of the empire, and soon found the correct location of the basement with the help of Buta, because the entrance to the basement had been buried in the ruins of a building, and it was not possible to clean up the rubble in a day or two, Karl took the advice of the knights of the supporting squadron, found the location of the basement, and dug directly from above.
A group of knights, wielding pickaxes, dug down in the garden of this mansion, the basement was not too deep, and in order to avoid collapse, the roof of the basement was heavily reinforced, digging only two meters deep from the garden meadow, it had already touched the compacted loess layer above the roof of the basement, this layer of soil was very hard, and it took the knights of the guard battalion a little half a day to dig the brick layer of the vaulted dome.
A knight pried open a brick with a pickaxe, revealing a dark hole inside, and exclamations of excitement could be heard from the basement.
The battle team rescued more than 20 survivors from the town of Umezu, this group of survivors had been starving and skinny in the basement, they hid in the basement for nearly a month, and after the food stored in the basement was eaten up, they only relied on some food that Buta got back from the vent every day, but Buta was still young after all, and he had to avoid the hellhounds patrolling the town, and it was not easy to get food in the town surrounded by hellhounds, so these foods could not meet everyone's needs, Not starving anyone to death for so many days is already the greatest gift to them.
Twenty-three townspeople stood on the rubble and rubble, looking at the ruined Umezu town, and there was hardly anyone else on the street except for some Bena soldiers, and many of them instantly collapsed and sat weakly on the ruins.
A middle-aged nobleman took the initiative to stand up, and he saw at a glance that Kaikar and Surdak were the captains of this team, and after expressing his gratitude to the two, he began to inquire about the situation outside.
Most of the residents of Umezu Town did not survive this war, and Hellhound chose Umezu Town as a breeding base, probably because the town was densely populated, and all the townspeople were hunted and transported to the temple by Hellhounds, where it was a real Shura field.
According to Karl's knowledge, only a small number of the people of the town of Umezu fled the town with an army of nobles and arrived safely in the city of Warzmara.
The middle-aged nobleman's face turned pale, and after listening to Karl's briefing, he sat on the ruins with his mouth covered and speechless for a long time.
A little girl hugged Buta tightly, and by this time she was already crying, but it seemed that she was well taken care of by everyone, and if there was anyone in this group of survivors who looked the best, it was obviously this little girl who was a head shorter than Buta, and her little face that could almost transform people still had crystal tears on it.
"Don't worry, the city of Warzhmara has already issued a resettlement order for the survivors of this dimensional war, and they will not become wanderers with nothing." Karl whispered to Surdak.
Obviously, he was still a little worried that Surdak would take in the boy Buta if he relented, which was not in accordance with the war regulations.
The hellhound has been temporarily repulsed, and the living people still have to rebuild their homes, but at present, neither the Constructed Swordsman Regiment, nor the Heavy Infantry Regiment and the Guard Battalion Knights can be stationed in Umezu Town for a long time, destroying the Hellhounds breeding ground in Umezu Town, I am afraid that Marquis Luthor will lead the Constructed Swordsman Regiment to fight everywhere next.
The hoplite regiment and the knights of the guard battalion were not ordered to garrison the town of Umezu, and did not even build any fortifications for the town.
Marquis Luthor had no intention of distributing his limited forces to the ruined town.
Carl's battle team hunted hellhounds around the town of Umezu, and with Buta's familiarity with the town of Umezu, Karl's battle team became one of the most fruitful squads.
And this hunt lasted only one day and one night.
The fire in the temple also lasted for a day and a night.
The bones of countless townspeople were burned to ashes in the temple, and finally the middle-aged magician of the Wizard Scout took out an earth-based 'collapse' magic scroll and razed the ruins of the temple to the ground.
Thirty-five survivors of the town were rescued from the attack on Umezu, who erected an uninscribed stele in front of the temple, with only one line written on the town at the bottom of the stele: 'In memory of those who died in the plane wars'
It is said that the places vacated above the stele will not be filled in until the end of the maca plane war. And even if a stone tablet could have hundreds of names written on it, if you had to write down all the names, it is estimated that these stone tablets would be enough to enclose the temple.
On the morning of the third day of the occupation of Umezu, the Sorcerer's Scout Group spotted a large number of hellhounds gathering towards Umezu.
Marquis Luthor didn't want to construct a swordsman regiment to be held back by the hellhounds around the city of Warzmara, so the city of Warzmara dispatched ten magic airships to evacuate all the Bena troops in the town of Umezu on the same day, and of course took away thirty-five survivors of the town of Umezu.
The two regiments of constructed swordsmen were to rush to the next battle location, where they would join the heavy infantry regiments, the longbow regiments, and the heavy cavalry regiments.
And the heavy infantry regiment and the longbow regiment that participated in the battle of the town of Umezu. The three Knights of the Guard Battalion temporarily returned to the city of Voljmara in a magical airship to rest.
Because the town of Umezu is not far from the city of Vozhmara, the magic airship cannot rise into the air and fly rapidly with the help of the wind, so it can only rely on the floating device and booster on the magic airship to move slowly.
It was as if all the magical airships in Bena Province had gathered on the maca plane, and countless airships were still transporting various supplies from the city of Warzhmara, and of course, some airships rushed back from outside with supplies.
The airships had to make way for the troop carriers, and the knights of the guard battalion did not wait long, and left the airport dock in procession, returning to their station in the city, near the square of the main city gate.
Buta and his sister were going to follow the survivors of the town of Umejin to accept the resettlement of the city of Warjmara, just at the gate of the airport dock, Surdak and Buta said a simple goodbye, Surdak secretly stuffed two gold coins into Buta and said to him: "Hide them well, it's better not to take them with you, I really hope you don't need these, Buta, protect my sister well, I hope we can meet again one day!" ”
Buta nodded heavily, tucked the two golden coins into his pants, and then took the little girl's hand and quickly followed the survivors to a carriage for the camp.
The carriage drifted away, and Surdak withdrew his gaze.
It was only at this moment that he completely dispelled the idea of leaving Buta behind.
