736. New troops joined
When the first rays of sunlight shone on the northern wall, Samira felt the temperature of the sun before waking up from the control of the crossbow on her bed.
Last night, she crouched in the position of the bed crossbow and stared at it for most of the night, until the deputy commander of Chester ran under the city wall and instructed the cavalry on basic combat skills.
Samira's tense heartstrings relaxed.
With such a second-turn great swordsman by his side, those cavalrymen would not have much trouble no matter how reckless they were.
Samira wrapped her body in her cloak and curled up in the chair at the crossbow control position on the bed and slept for a while, maybe it was a little tired these days, maybe it was because she felt the intoxicating breeze in the canyon, and listened to the roars of those monsters, her heart was much more steady, and she felt that she had a long dream.
When she woke up to the bright sunshine, she got up from the control chair, supported herself with one arm, turned over and stood on the bed of the bed crossbow, stretched her arms and stretched her waist.
The fighting below the northern walls had subsided, and the torches below the northern walls had been extinguished, some of which still had a wisp of green smoke rising from them.
Last night's battle left the northern city wall in shambles.
Many grasslands have been destroyed, and there are more magical beasts around the northern city wall than yesterday, some of them are hiding in the barren grass, some are looking for a breakthrough around the northern city wall, and some of them are hiding in the woods at the foot of the mountains on both sides of the canyon.
If this group of demonic beasts wants to pass through the Dodan Gorge, they must cross the northern city wall.
Now that the northern city wall is full of city defenders, it is impossible for the guards to let these monsters storm into the occupied area, and let these monsters threaten the people living here.
……
Samira walked down the city wall and was confronted by a group of city guards who were about to change their defenses.
When the guards saw Samira approaching, they immediately stood at the edge of the steps and moved out of the way to allow Samira to walk first.
When they looked at Samira, there was a kind of adoration in their eyes.
In the past few days, Samira has been guarding the city, and she has given these city guards a lot of archery skills, and handed them over to predict the wind speed, the running speed of the monster and the trajectory of the arrow during the flight, only when these three points are taken into account, it is possible to shoot the monster under the city.
The guards in the city defense brigade are basically in the military service period, and they have no income.
The city guards who came from ordinary families usually have their pockets cleaner than their faces.
Although these guards eat and live in the city defense brigade, they occasionally have the opportunity to run to the commercial streets of Dodan Town, and when they see the dazzling array of goods on the street, they also have some desire to shop, but most of them look through the window and can't afford to buy them.
Among these guards, except for some young people who came from the Green Empire to serve in the military, they are basically young people among the aborigines, and everyone is used to living a hard life, so they don't think there is anything wrong with this kind of life.
In recent days, a large number of demonic beasts have gathered under the city wall before the arrival of the beast tide, in order to ensure the safety of the hunters and cavalry who went out of the city to hunt demonic beasts.
Commander Surdak ordered that when the monster entered the range of the bed crossbow, the guards on the city could use the bed crossbow to shoot, and the prey killed would also depend on the situation, but the guards on the city would be able to share a little bit.
The guards were able to kill the monsters in the city with their bed crossbows, thanks to Samira's on-the-spot guidance, and now these guards almost all make a little money in their hands.
They even have some expectations that it would be better for such days to continue.
The reverence for Samira has changed from respect to worship.
I heard people talking all day long that Captain Samira in the cavalry battalion had hunted three moonblade fire wolves yesterday, and when the mercenary group under the city wall raised the wolf's head, no one looked at it......
……
Samira walked through the blood-stained fence of the city gate, and the blood of the beast gave the ground a black-purple color.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, the claws of some demonic beasts had made deep marks on the walls, the roof of the vaulted cave still had some traces of fire, and the cavalry sat in a row against the walls of the doorway.
One. The night of fighting exhausted them, laughing and drinking hot water.
On the other side of the wall, the corpses of a number of maned beasts were piled up, including a large black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros, the results of which were converted into silver coins and recorded.
Some members of the mercenary group slowly walked through the city gate with weapons on their backs.
They seemed so cautious that they didn't even dare to make a loud noise in the gates.
Since they also need the city guards to control the bed crossbow and deter the demonic beasts below the city walls, these mercenaries' violent tempers have been greatly restrained.
Surdak was giving basic treatment to a few wounded horsemen in the gate hole, cleaning their wounds, healing with holy light, and stitching them with cotton thread.
Recently, when treating wounded soldiers, Surdak liked to use the torch of holy light, no matter where the light was dark, as long as he injected a trace of divine breath into the torch, the torch immediately burned and shot a warm light.
The Chester Swordsman also sat with the cavalrymen, and seeing Surdak meticulously handling the cavalryman's wounds, the Chester Swordsman noticed that the Marquis of Luthor was really accurate in his gaze.
Surdak ran over to greet him and immediately threw himself into the treatment work.
The Great Swordsman of Chester was giving some knowledge to a cavalryman who had just been promoted to the first turn.
The cavalryman looked a little excited, and told the great swordsman of Chester about his rough life.
He was a veteran who had come out of the barren land with Surdak, who had previously been wounded in the leg during his military service.
He is also a very lucky person, at that time it was the end of his service, so he retired due to injury and returned to his hometown in the barren land, but after the injury, the injured leg has been a little difficult to walk, originally wanted to return to his hometown, marry two wives, have two children, even if the life is a little poorer, but as long as he can live...... That's how I grew old.
He didn't expect the barren land to be so barren, and when he was alone, he still felt that it was nothing, and when the wife he married back gave birth to a child, those thoughts were completely different.
This time I joined the cavalry battalion just to be able to harvest a sum of money.
I didn't expect that I would gain so much, not only did the old injuries heal, but also the strength returned to the peak of the ninth level.
Before dawn, watching the battle of the Great Swordsman of Chester hunting the Ice Horned Rhino, he actually had some indescribable feelings in his heart.
I only felt some kind of power rush out of my body, condensing into the phantom of a black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros behind me.
He was like a moth that had broken out of its cocoon, breaking through some kind of restraint in his body, and he felt the surging power behind him very clearly.
The Great Swordsman of Chester gave him a few words, and the cavalryman was surrounded by his companions, and he was a little incoherent, talking about his truest feelings about breaking through.
……
Without saying a word, Samira crouched beside Surdak and helped him bandage one of the cavalrymen.
Surdak asked about the situation in the canyon, and when he heard that there were more and more demonic beasts, his face became solemn.
Seeing Aung San coming from the town with bows and arrows on his back and a group of natives in simple leather armor, Surdak beckoned Aung San to him and asked him:
"There are so many demonic beasts gathered outside, and you still want to run out?"
A group of aborigines waited.
Aung San approached with a spear in his hand, grinned and said:
"I have to try it!"
He looked back at the group of companions behind him, and said to Surdak:
"They think that with the support of the bed crossbow on the north wall, there should be a chance to hunt some maned beasts, we can't kill them, but there are many ways to seduce them, while they can still hunt, they always have to store more."
Surdak also knew that the aborigines were having a hard time in the town of Dodan, so he asked:
"Say hello from the other side of the wall?"
Aung San smirked and admitted, "Well, there are our sons and nephews on duty at the head of the city. ”
Surdak waved his hand and muttered, "Then pay attention to safety, don't always gamble with your life." ”
When Aung San saw that Surdak did not blame him, he immediately straightened his waist and said happily:
"Got it, Lord Surdak."
Then he led a group of aboriginal hunters and walked out of the city gate quickly.
……
The Great Swordsman of Chester sat on the sidelines, and when he heard Surdak talking to a group of natives, he was actually worried that the aborigines would be in danger when they went out at this time.
The surrounding cavalry also looked unsurprised, looked at Surdak with some surprise, and said to him:
"You're not like the other commanders."
Surdak finished his work, put the hemostatic bandage in his pocket, and stood up to look at the Chester Swordsman.
The Great Swordsman of Chester said, "You actually care about the local aborigines." ”
Surdak lowered his head and thought for a moment before he said, "The land here has become the territory of the Grimm Empire, and the aborigines here have become the people of Charles the Great and the Grand Duke of Newman, they live in the small town of Dodan, and I think it is my responsibility to keep them safe." ”
"That's true, and the other people you said know it." The Great Swordsman of Chester said.
With one hand rubbing his broadsword, he continued:
"But in the Grimm Empire, many commanders attach great importance to the imperial bloodline, they are arrogant in their bones, talk about blood, inheritance, and door valves, and reject everything outside the empire in their hearts, and they can't treat the aborigines living in these occupied areas equally, so in many dimensional areas, the exploitation of the local aborigines always happens repeatedly."
"A lot of small problems accumulate together, and the grievances that slowly accumulate into the people, and in the end there will always be the fuse of some war."
"The war of resistance launched by the aborigines and the local indigenous tribes has always been the main war for us lord legions, but now that the dark legions have invaded various planes, no one has paid attention to these contradictions."
"But it doesn't mean that these contradictions have completely disappeared, and when these contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, they will erupt again."
"This is also when I was fighting with the demons in the Warat Valley of the Kenda plane, and I saw that there were many alien knights in the Mo Legion, as well as a group of dwarven warriors and elven archers, so I learned a little about the multiracial mixed legion."
The Great Swordsman of Chester stood up, put his hand around Surdak's shoulder, and walked with him through the doorway of the wall towards the barracks.
Surdak had rarely heard anything about demons, so he asked curiously:
"Chester Great Swordsman, have you ever seen a real demon?"
"Hmm!" The Great Swordsman of Chester replied.
"What do they look like?" Surdak asked curiously.
The Chester swordsman said with some bitterness: "Those are indeed not good memories, the demons are similar to humans and elves, the demons have a strong physique, they are the same as the elves, they are born to master magic, just like the elves are close to nature, and the magicians mastered by the demons are chaos and curses." ”
"Every demon has a demon horn on the top of their head, and that demon horn is the source of their power."
"We lost a lot of people in that battle, the worst battle in years, and a Grand Duke was seriously wounded as a result, but it was those who gave us a glimpse of what the real Constructed Knights are."
"The group of constructed knights riding black-scaled war horses made me see the ceiling of the constructed knights."
"If they dare to stand up and fight our constructed swordsmen, they may not be as good as us constructed swordsmen, but ten people together will probably be able to tie with the ten constructed swordsmen on our side."
"If five hundred people get together, even if we have a thousand constructed swordsmen, it is estimated that it will be difficult to defeat them."
The Archswordsman of Chester and Surdak spoke familiarly like old friends who had known each other for a long time, and then they returned to the barracks together.
……
Accompanied by Surdak and a group of squadron leaders, the Great Swordsman of Chester had a hearty breakfast.
Then, the Great Swordsman of Chester called the seventeen squadron leaders of the mixed reinforcement team, who were in the barracks conference room, and said to them: "This is Baron Surdak, the commander of the garrison in Dodan Town, and all of you must obey the command of Baron Surdak during the period of resisting the Invercargill beast tide. ”
"Yes, Captain Chester." A group of squadron leaders replied in unison.
Although they were a little unfamiliar with Surdak, there were some rumors about the commander of the cavalry battalion.
Now Surdak was standing in front of them, seventeen pairs of eyes falling on Surdak at the same time, and he looked at Surdak seriously from top to bottom.
Surdak stood beside the Chester Great Swordsman, a little nervous in his heart, and could only bite the bullet and say: "Thank you for coming to Dodan Town to assist the independent cavalry battalion to resist the ghost pattern red ants before the beast tide comes, I don't want to say anything else, I just hope that we are stationed here, we can block the footsteps of those ghost pattern red ant colonies from invading south, you all encourage ......."
