735. Fingering
Inside the garrison camp is a small building that is said to have been built by the commander of the Cavalry Battalion of the Langdon Regiment when he was in the town of Dodan.
As the Luther Legion cavalry battalion entered the town of Dodan, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Langdon Legion didn't even have the patience to wait for the handover of defenses to complete the handover, so he packed his bags and returned to Bena Province early.
Now the owner of this small building has become the commander of Surdak of the separate cavalry battalion of the Luthor Regiment.
The Great Swordsman of Chester led his team to the town of Dodan, and Surdak happened to be absent, so he arranged to live in a small building as a matter of course.
Chester doesn't like this small building very much, he is a very conservative person at heart, and there will be a strong rejection in his heart for anything that does not follow the rules.
He would rather set up a marching tent in the courtyard of the barracks, and sleep in it much more comfortably than he does now.
Late at night, the Great Swordsman of Chester sat up from his bed, rubbing his forehead with his hands, and it was a little difficult to sleep.
Through the curtains, I could see that the camp was dimly lit, and from time to time patrol guards passed by the outside of the small building, picked up their sabers and pushed the door out of the small building.
Walking along the road in the camp to the north, the wall of more than 20 meters high looks majestic and silent in the night.
A row of torches was lit on the north wall, and the vague figures of the guards at the head of the city could be seen.
The Chester Great Swordsman walked out of the barracks, and the guard at the door saw the golden sword shield and wheat ear badge on his chest, and immediately raised his chin high and saluted the Chester Great Swordsman.
Passing by the barracks of the city's defenders, a group of guards came out of the camp and lined up to climb the city walls.
The Chester Great Swordsman also climbed the city wall with the city guards, and the city head looked very wide, and every not too far away stood a city guard, and when they saw the magic pattern and golden noble badge on the Chester Great Swordsman, they immediately saluted the Chester Great Swordsman.
A city guard was lying on a bed crossbow, and two guards were carrying a lantern to illuminate it.
The upper body of the city guard was almost lying on the crossbow of the bed crossbow, and he was greasing the central axis of the pitching frame with an oil pot in his hand.
If this magic bed crossbow can be maintained once a week, its service life can be greatly extended.
The Great Swordsman of Chester stood beside the battlements, and first looked out of the walls, and the Valleys of Dodan were silent in the dark night, and from time to time a few howls of fiery wolves could be heard in the distance, and there was also the gurgling sound of owls.
Beneath the walls was a dark green meadow, and a row of torches was lit at the border within an eight-hundred-meter range, and the light of the fire danced violently in the night wind.
Many demonic beasts did not dare to approach the northern city wall.
They hide themselves in the darkness outside their torches, but their eyes are like jewels, glowing green in the night.
Although it was already late at night, a group of cavalry warriors were still hunting the maned beast on this lawn, the maned beast was covered in bruises, but its abundant physical strength made it full of strength every time it counterattacked, and the scene was very dangerous.
The demonic beasts in the darkness outside never dared to rush past the torches, making the edge of the city wall look like a colosseum, with the local garrison guards on the south side and the demonic beasts on the north side.
The Chester swordsman didn't understand why these cavalry under the city walls chose to fight at night, so he turned to the city guards on the side and asked:
"Why do these cavalrymen continue to fight at night?"
Latour withdrew his large grease-stained hand, smiled, and replied with some envy:
"Oh, I heard that those cavalry are all ninth-level warriors, they all want to advance quickly, and I heard that only through battle can they comprehend the 'potential', so there are also people hunting under the city wall at night, there are bed crossbows on the city wall to press the formation, killing a demonic beast can also have dividends, and you can feel the 'potential', this kind of good thing will not often ......"
As Latour spoke, a female maned beast as strong as a hill suddenly burst out of the darkness.
It knocked two torches stuck in the grass and charged towards the fighting cavalry, the maned beast followed by several smaller maned beasts.
There was a soft click, and the bowstring hummed.
A bed crossbow flew straight out of the city, hissing through the night sky, and the next second it passed precisely through the maned beast that rushed through, and the giant crossbow arrow pierced its body.
It fell to the ground and fell to the ground......
Immediately after, the maned beasts behind were also hit by arrows, rolling and falling out.
The city guards on the walls let out a low cry.
A woman in salamander leather armor and a hood on her head, with one foot on the bed crossbow chassis, could be seen by the flickering light of the torch as her hand was holding the archer position, and the two city guards lifted a giant crossbow arrow and loaded it into the arrow slot of the bed crossbow.
Another city guard shook the winch desperately and pulled the bowstring of the bed crossbow back.
The Chester Great Swordsman asked Latour, "These cavalrymen gave up their horses to fight the demonic beasts under the city in order to break through?" ”
"Or else?" Latour had already walked to the next bed crossbow, and when he saw the big man asking himself again, he stopped and said enviously: "How good it is to turn around, you can get more salary after a turn!" ”
He speaks in a way that has the distinctive intonation of the local aborigines.
The Great Swordsman of Chester asked again, "Aren't they afraid of an unhealable wound at this time?" ”
Latour looked down at himself, then at the two companions beside him, and said, "What are we afraid of, we don't have any, and everyone doesn't mind blocking it, let alone ...... I heard that our new Commander has the Holy Light to heal. ”
The two guards beside him who were carrying horse lanterns and ladders on their shoulders also nodded again and again.
When the great swordsman of Chester saw that Latour was cheerful and talkative, he asked him:
"What's your name?"
Latour hurriedly stood up straight and said with a straight face:
"My name is Latour."
The Chester Archswordsman didn't continue to talk, waved his hand, and asked the few of them to continue overhauling the bed crossbow.
Holding on to the battlements, he watched as the cavalry below the walls stuck a few short spears into the maned beasts.
The body of a maned beast has been pierced with thousands of holes, dozens of blood holes on its body are bubbling with blood, and seeing this leather from intact to broken, and then from broken to a pile of tattered, the most valuable thing in the maned beast's body has become worthless.
As the magic patterns on its body slowly dimmed, the maned beast was dying.
One of the horsemen stepped out of the crowd, untied a battle axe from his waist, raised it and slashed it at the back of the maned beast's neck, and with great effort it took a lot of effort to cut off the head of the maned beast, which was larger than a rhinoceros.
……
Aphrodite wears a Mithril mask and boards a four-wheeled carriage.
Surdak stood beside the carriage and said to Aphrodite, "Remember to summon me when you arrive!"
"Okay."
Aphrodite waved her hand a little impatiently.
Surdak knocked on the wheel and said to Aphrodite: "I know that you are tired of this life, I believe that it will not be long before this boring life will change, I have touched the door of the dragon language, and I will soon take you to see those different worlds, such as the White Forest plane." ”
"You're not comforting me, are you?" Aphrodite asked as she sat up straight in the carriage and looked puzzled.
Surdak smiled and asked her rhetorically, "Do you think a human knight needs to comfort a wingless succubus?" ”
Aphrodite nodded matter-of-fact and said:
"I think it's necessary!"
“……”
……
Surdak stepped out of the summoning circle on the eve of dawn, and when he returned to the study of the small building in the barracks, he saw the note that Andrew had left on the table, and he knew that the Great Swordsman of Chester had actually arrived in Dodan Town.
He also came with a thousand soldiers to reinforce the town of Dodan, including two hundred archers who were in desperate need, and another five hundred heavy infantry were also needed most by Surdak at the moment.
In addition to this, there are ten catapults, which is a bonus.
From Handel, the logistics quartermaster of Wilkes City, I learned that even the Wilkes City military headquarters did not have a few catapults.
This time, the Chester Great Swordsman was able to bring ten catapults, presumably using his maximum ability.
He walked over to the window and looked out into the playground.
Seeing rows of neat marching tents set up on the flat playground, Surdak realized that the Great Swordsman of Chester probably lived in this small building......
As a second-turn great swordsman, Chester should be very sensitive to the magic fluctuations around him. sense, then when you pass through the summoning circle, the mana fluctuations generated are likely to be sensed by the Chester Great Swordsman.
Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly walked out of the study.
The living room was quiet, and with a glimmer of light in the room, Surdak saw that the door of the guest room was actually open, and there was not a trace of breath inside.
He cast a magical sense to confirm that no one lived in the small building, not even Samira.
Surdak pushed open the door of the small building and walked out, the dark blue starry sky above his head was slowly changing color, and the stars were receding.
He asked the cavalrymen who were on patrol outside at night, "Have you seen the Chester Great Swordsman?" ”
The cavalry on night duty stopped.
A cavalry squad leader reported to Surdak: "The deputy commander of Chester went out from that direction at night, probably to the northern wall. ”
Surdak nodded.
He saw that the lights on in the canteen of the barracks were on, as if they were preparing breakfast, and only then did he realize that the men in the canteen now needed to prepare 1,500 breakfasts, and the number of breakfasts was suddenly three times more than before, and it was estimated that the few men in the canteen were not busy at all.
Walking to the door of the canteen, I saw a row of large iron pots boiling the broth, it seemed that the broth food in the morning should be well prepared, these guys were frying scones on three frying pans, and the fried scones were neatly stacked in large baskets, and it seemed that there was still a lot of shortage.
Surdak walked in, and several men in the cafeteria hurriedly saluted Surdak.
"How much less is the baked wheat cake?" Surdak asked.
The head of the canteen stood up and said with some embarrassment:
"There are at least seven hundred left, and before breakfast, we can fry another three hundred, and the rest will be ready soon!"
Surdak waved his hand and said, "All you need to do is prepare the broth and boiled beans." Send someone to inform the bakery in the town that 800 baked wheat cakes will be prepared over there, and there will be a shortage of men here, and we will transfer them to you during the day. ”
"Yes, sir!" The captain didn't expect that the problem that had plagued him all night was solved immediately, and he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the oil and sweat on his forehead with the towel around his waist.
……
Surdak climbed the northern city wall, and the east side of the Thorny Mountain just lit up with a touch of fish's belly white.
Nearly a thousand horses were driven out of the stables by the aboriginal herders, who rode their horses and waved their long whips in their hands, shouting as they drove a large herd of horses to the small river outside the town.
The cavalrymen had already come out of their quarters and were ready to start their morning exercises.
Surdak looked around the city walls, but did not see the Archswordsman of Chester, only Samira with her back against a bed crossbow, as if she was asleep in the morning light.
I was about to ask the guards at the head of the city, only to find the roar of a demonic beast coming from under the city wall.
It was clearly the roar of a black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros, and he had repeatedly told those cavalrymen in the past few days that when hunting demonic beasts under the city, especially at night, they must tick. Attract those simple-minded and reckless maned beasts, although they have rough skin and thick flesh, but the magic of the earth-based petrified skin can only make their bodies as solid as rocks, as long as they are handled carefully, there will not be much danger.
But he didn't say that these cavalrymen could afford to mess with the black-backed ice horned rhinoceros, a big man who could freeze a warrior into an ice lump with a single ice arrow, and then rush up at a speed of 80 miles, and the huge ice horn was fully capable of picking the ice lump into ice slag.
Holding on to the battlements, Surdak was about to yell at the cavalry below the walls, 'You bastards are dead!' ’
I saw the crowd below the city wall standing a great swordsman wearing a demonic pattern uniform, he was holding a double-edged sword, and he was standing in front of a black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros, as if he was introducing the weakness of the black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros while demonstrating his combat skills.
His movements were not fast, but every step he took seemed to have predicted the movements of the black-backed ice horned rhinoceros in advance, and he dodged the attack of the black-backed ice horned rhinoceros one step ahead, especially the ice arrow released by the black-backed ice horned rhino, he didn't use any special strength to resist it at all, but whenever the ice arrow was about to fall on him, his body was like a seaweed that shook at will, and he dodged the ice arrow with a slight twist.
The black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros was played around by him under the city, but he didn't use his sword to kill it, but every time he passed by, he patted the weakness of the black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros with his sword, signaling the cavalry who were watching from the sidelines to attack the black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros next time.
The black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros was not stupid to the extreme, and after being tricked for a long time, its anger subsided a little, and it immediately realized that the strength of the Great Swordsman of Chester was obviously much higher than itself, so it immediately turned around and tried to flee into the Dodan Gorge outside the northern city wall.
When it comes to the meat in the mouth, where will it be spared.
I saw the Chester Great Swordsman casually raise the double-edged greatsword in his hand, and the blade brought up countless afterimages.
He took a step forward.
The next second.
The Chester Great Swordsman seemed to have crossed more than twenty meters, appearing on the side of the black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros, his body still maintained his balance between running, and the remnants of the two-handed sword crossed a long distance, from the bottom to the top, stabbing at the black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros at an extremely tricky angle.
The black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros looked even more frightened, as if he had hit the tip of the Chester Great Swordsman's sword headfirst.
The greatsword plunged through the gap between the ribs into the heart chamber of the black-backed ice-horned rhino, and then the Chester Great Swordsman twisted his body with the force of the black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros and pulled out the double-edged greatsword.
A huge amount of blood burst out from between the ribs of the black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros......
The black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros ran forward more than twenty steps, and as soon as his limbs went limp, he fell to the trampled grass......
