Chapter 14: A Sharp Turn
The news of the fall of Black Iron Town had already reached Redwood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The red leaf tea and rice have not been fragrant in the past two days, and she is worried that the demon rat army will come to invade Sequoia Town sooner or later. Although her lordship's house was built very well and Anna and David protected her, her people were not treated like this, and they all lived in fragile wooden huts.
"Momiji-sama!" a guard interrupted her breakfast breathlessly, "There's someone outside, who says it's Lord Renault's retainers, and wants to see you." ā
Renault?
Momiji couldn't help but be stunned, thinking of the young lord who was not good at words. But Black Iron Town is ruined, Renault only has a small mine, can he survive?
Lauren was summoned in the hall, and when he heard that Renault had not only defended the mine, but had also killed hundreds of demon rats, Momiji's face became extremely angry and ugly.
She knew Lauren, a big man, who was indeed Renault's subordinate, but what he said was unbelievable.
To build a huge steel fortification in a few days is simply a fantasy, he doesn't even have a smelting workshop!
But why did he lie, did he take the opportunity to cheat the grain?
Seeing that Momiji refused to believe it, Lauren took off the big bag on his back and threw it on the ground, and at the same time admired Lord Renault again for being like a god, and asked him to bring the corpse of a demon mouse when he left.
"What is this?" Momiji asked unhappily, if it weren't for the last time she had a relationship with Lauren at the Black Iron Town Market, she would have had him kicked out.
"Mistress Renault said, if you don't believe me, I'll show you this. ā
As he spoke, he poured out the contents of his bag.
"It's a demonic beast!" the maid Anna immediately blocked in front of Momiji, even a dead demonic beast was a very terrifying thing for ordinary people, "Yes...... Winged Devil Mouse!"
"It's called the Flying Species, that's the name Master Renault," Lauren said with some smugness, "We've already killed five of them!"
Momiji looked at the few crossbow arrows inserted in the flying species, and gradually began to believe what Lauren said, no, it should be said that he had to believe it.
Although it was a pure steel crossbow arrow, it was not easy to shoot through the hard fur of the demon rat, and Momiji asked himself if none of his guards had that much arm strength.
But the Lauren said that each of the 200 miners who stood in the steel fortifications had a weapon that could shoot the demon rat directly.
If this is true, then there is a real possibility that Renault is still alive. But the question is, where did he get so many weapons?
"Of course, Lord Renault told me that we won't ask for your supplies in vain," he said, taking the double crossbow on his body, "I have four more of these crossbows on my horse, which is considered as the reward for these materials." ā
Momiji rubbed the delicate bow and crossbow, and it was difficult to hide the shock in his heart. This kind of crossbow is more than ten times lighter than the last time I saw a heavy crossbow, but the power is not much different, and Reynolds gave her five at a time, and it seems that she has indeed encountered a difficult problem.
And if Renault can't stop the army of demon rats in Black Iron Town, Sequoia Town is likely to be affected by demon rats.
"Momiji-sama," an emaciated man walked in, glancing at the flying corpse on the ground and not being surprised, "I've heard it all outside." ā
"What's your opinion, David. ā
He can be regarded as Momiji's wise man, and he has a powerful No. 15 demon spirit, the Blade! Momiji will consult him on many things.
"I think you can send someone to take a look, not only Black Iron Town, but also the survival of Sequoia Town, please be cautious. ā
"Alright, Champion Lauren," Momiji finally decided, "I believe your word for the time being, and I will not only help Lord Renault with ten carts of food and supplies, but also send Anna and a team of soldiers with you." If Anna finds out you're lying, she'll make you die ugly. ā
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Lauren finally breathed a sigh of relief, he traveled day and night, non-stop, day and night, and finally succeeded in getting Momiji's aid.
Mistress Renault, you must hold on! Lauren sat in the carriage pulling the grain, looking at the gray sky that was about to fall, and prayed.
"Lord Renault, be careful, they're coming!"
Bucky screamed anxiously at the wall, and Reynolds climbed to the granary himself as bait in order to lure the flies into a trap.
This is also forced to have no choice, in just over ten hours last night, there were many people who suffered frostbite from their hands and feet, although they all endured it and didn't say it, but Renault knew that if he continued like this, he would lose a lot of combat effectiveness.
"Come down, come down!"
He kept screaming in his heart, but the flying species in the sky seemed to know that it was a trap and refused to go down for a long time.
If you don't come down again, you can only take the initiative to attack!
Renault raised his musket and bam!
A single shot hit a flying species, which drooped more than ten meters in a straight line in the sky, and then struggled to fly again, letting out a high-pitched, long chirp.
The other flying species saw that their companions were wounded, and could no longer withstand the stimulus of the smell of blood, like a flock of vultures that had found carrion.
"Run, Lord Renault!"
It's finally down!
Renault was overjoyed, even if he caught two or three, at least he could keep warm. He jumped from the top of the granary, slipped and fell to the ground, and twisted his foot and neck.
Depend on!
The flying species was already close at hand, the musket in his hand had been fired, and he now had no power to fight back except for the three-edged bayonet pinned to his waist.
"Shoot them, quick!"
Badge was so anxious that his eyes were about to bulge, wishing that it was him who was lying on the ground at the moment, and if the lord died, none of them would have any hope of survival.
A flying species rushed vertically towards Renault, and even if it didn't bite with its claws, it would smash Renault into a patty with a lump of meat.
Seeing that Renault couldn't dodge, there was a sudden tooth-aching crunch in the granary, and a steel plate bent abruptly down from the granary, just above Renault.
Bang -
The flying species did not have time to change direction and was mounted on the steel plate, and fell to the ground with a squeak.
Renault looked in surprise to see Miley crouching in the doorway, her hands pressed against the cold ground, her face flushed unhealthily.
Looking at the curved steel plate, Renault's heart suddenly jumped out of the name of a demon spirit, the 13th demon spirit - torn!
The power to tear even steel!
I'm afraid no one would have thought that Miley would actually get the 13th-ranked High Demon Spirit.
Renault didn't have time to rejoice, the flying species that had fallen to the ground had come back to his senses and swooped at him, he raised his long bayonet, aimed it at its large mouth and stabbed it in.
The flying species let out a miserable scream, it turned out that their defense was much worse than that of ordinary demon rats, and their vitality was not so strong, but it struggled with its wings up to a meter long, and it still left a deep blood mark on Renault's arm.
"Lord Renault, are you alright?" Badge rushed over like a gust of wind, shooting directly into the head of the flying species, and then looked at Renault's bloody arm in horror, "You're injured!"
"Don't make any noise!" Renault glared at him, he was the backbone of the big iron bucket, if everyone knew that he was injured by the demon rat, it would definitely cause panic, because anyone who was injured by the demon beast would die soon!
There is only one way for Renault to survive, and that is to successfully awaken the demon spirit, but the chance of this is too small!
"Listen to me, don't tell anyone about this except Vivi. If I'm unfortunate enough to die, you take these people to take refuge in Momiji. ā
"No, Lord Renault, you ......"
"Don't say anything, take something and cover my arm. Renault felt his heart beat faster, almost jumping out of his chest, "Until Lauren comes back, everything is up to you." Hopefully, when I wake up, I'll hear good news. ā
