Chapter 30: The Nolan Army's Celebration
Bai Quanyu and Pan Cheng were on both sides of the queue of women and children, and led them to speed up towards the back of the village, crossbow arrows continued to fall in the sky, and several powerful crossbow arrows narrowly shuttled over everyone's heads, and immediately paralyzed several children, but fortunately, Bai Quanyu and the two took the children away in time, otherwise the stones falling on their heads would also stone them to death.
They escorted the crowd to the path where Bai Quanyu had traveled from the jungle garden of Ghost Claw Mountain, a forest stone path that could not be walked for three days and three nights, and he sent them here, out of the range of the crossbow arrows.
"You go into the forest and hide for a few days, but don't go inside, the other end of here is a dead end. All you have to do is wait for the invading army to leave, and then you can come out and seek refuge in the other villages of Tenryu. β
The women bowed again to Bai Quanyu in thanks, but instead of accepting their salute, Bai Quanyu led Pan Cheng around the village and set off towards the distance where the crossbow arrows were fired.
He was going back to do one thing, which was to avenge his two spearmen and beat the Nolan army hard. In addition, if possible, he will destroy the ballista! A heavy weapon with great destructive power like a ballista really must not be left in the hands of Watt, who is a ruthless man, and if he continues to advance with the ballista to other villages, more disasters will inevitably befall other places.
After the complete destruction of the Shell Village, Watt's army lit a fire to the sky, and the barracks seemed to be celebrating lively.
At the base camp of the Nolan Army, Watt sat in a wheelchair and drank the aged Rhodes wine brought out of the village with his 30 knights.
A knight raised his goblet and saluted Watt, "Congratulations to the general for successfully destroying the Shell Village and killing the two heroes of the Celestial Dragon, you have already achieved great achievements." β
Watt modestly replied, "This also depends on the assistance of your knight brothers. β
Another knight flattered: "The general has obtained 10 ballistas from Tianlong, which is like a tiger with wings, should we take the opportunity to go down to Tianlong's village and give them a little color." β
Watt put the Rhodes on his bandaged head, sniffed, and poured it down.
"No, the purpose of destroying Shell Village has been achieved, and now the meaning of the above is that we can just stand by with peace of mind. β
The knight asked, "Isn't that boring, on standby?" According to the opinion of our subordinates, it is better for us to wander around the Celestial Dragon Territory and continue to look for their village to destroy." β
"Hey, don't think every village is as easy to fight as Shell Village. Most of Tianlong's villages are guarded by heroes, and we can take Shell Village this time, it is entirely due to the fact that Shell Village does not have Imperial Heroes, otherwise, it is not certain who wins and who loses in this fight. Watt said.
"There are thousands of Draco's villages, can it have so many heroes assigned to other villages?" said one of the knights in surprise.
"There are not many heroes in Tianlong, and there are not as many heroes as there are in the country. The other knight scoffed.
Watt explained: "Tianlong is the strongest country among the 24 large countries and 79 small countries in our continent, and there is not one of them. Do you know why? Because in addition to the vast land and abundant resources, Tianlong is also rich in heroes! Only Mo Yun, the old fox, has as many as 120 heroes, and in the hands of Emperor Kate, will the number of his heroes be less than Mo Yun's, not to mention that in addition to Mo Yun, Tianlong has three other marshals. And every marshal's hero is in the 3-digit number, and you think you have a few lives to play with these big-handed people. β
"What, the four generalissimos all have three-figure heroes under them! The knights all looked at each other when they heard this, because all the heroes of their country did not necessarily add up to three figures, and Tianlong reached Nolan's national strength level with only one marshal, which could not make people change color.
In the current Celestial Dragon Empire, Mo Yun and the other three marshals are independent heroes, and they do not belong to Emperor Kate, because the original person of the four marshals is Emperor Kate's father. When Kate the Great's father died, the four generalissimos lost their ownership and became the heroes of the empire.
(Details: Belonging to the hero is like getting married, the two parties seem to have a marriage contract, and this marriage contract is more binding than the general marriage, because you can divorce when you get married, but if the hero belongs, you can never leave, even if the other party dies, you can only become his widow, however, although the hero can only marry once permanently, that is, he can only belong to him once permanently, but if the original owner of the belongings dies, he can still find someone he likes to assist, but that person can no longer obtain your absolute loyalty.) In this way, he has to go as he wants in the process of assisting, and he has to do whatever he wants, and the other party cannot forcibly restrain him at all. This is also the reason why Kate the Great has been respectful to the four generalissimos so far, because the four generalissimos only listen to his father, and there is no one to restrain them when his father is gone, so if Kate the Great upsets them, it is not impossible to leave)
Bai Quanyu hurried along the cliff path under the dark moonlight, and when he reached the edge of the cliff, Pan Cheng used his strength to hold him on the palm of his hand and threw him out, so that he could quickly climb from the low cliff layer to the high cliff layer, and Pan Cheng himself was already extraordinary, and he only needed a jump to grab a fulcrum on the cliff wall to run and throw himself, and then closely followed behind Bai Quanyu's landing point.
The moonlight is getting deeper, and in the cold wind, the two people who are thinly dressed have already run out of hot sweat. They pursued for a long time, and finally saw an army camp on a hill, and the tent was still brightly lit, and the parade of spearmen was in groups of three or five, and from time to time one or two groups of spearmen went out to sightsee and then parade back.
Pan Cheng's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw a place where the spearmen were gathered, and there were three large trees in that place, and a large tent stretching 100 meters was set up under the big trees, he whispered.
"My lord, look, that's where the ballista is stored. He followed Pan Cheng's instructions and looked over, and sure enough, he saw the difference of the large tent, under the light of the open flames, the shadow model of the ballista was faintly revealed in the tent, and the place was guarded by more than 100 spearmen sent by Watt, among which the three silver armored warriors in the center were actually cavalry.
Pan Cheng said: "There are too many guards, and there are cavalry in the town, so it will be difficult for us to sneak in." He saw that there was nothing above the head of the tent, and suddenly there was an idea, they were all soldiers on the ground, and there was a dead end in the air, if he sneaked in from above, they would definitely not be able to find out, he looked at Pan Cheng's strong body and a sassy golden retriever, and came up with an idea.
"You'll throw me into the air and let me fall into the ballista tent from the air, can you do that?"
Pan Cheng gave a thumbs up and said, "No problem, it's a trivial matter." β
Bai Quanyu continued: "Also, after I entered the ballista tent, you will find the dry food storage point of this army outside and find an opportunity to set a fire to them. He knows that every expeditionary army can not bring anything, but only dry food must be prepared, just like when he took 12 spearmen through the road of bones, the spearmen did not bring anything, they only knew that they brought marching dry food, and the marching dry food can be said to be the fourth resource in addition to the three major resources of heroes (crystal, gem, and essence), and this resource is a rigid resource, and many times it is more important than those three war merit resources.
"My lord, the dry food is not the same thing as the cookie you gave me. β
Bai Quanyu nodded and said: "That's right, the importance of dry food in the army is incomparable to any material, it is a rigid necessity for the survival of the army, the army can't carry heavy wine when going out, and can't carry meat that spoils in a day or two, so they can only bring this kind of marching biscuit that can last for 7 days by eating a piece, because as long as any army brings a box of this kind of marching biscuits, they can ensure that they can live carefree in the field for several months." β
Pan Cheng patted his chest: "The adult Pan Cheng understood what he meant, burned their biscuits and made them cut off food." β
In the second half of the night, the open flames in most of the tents had been extinguished, Bai Quanyu knew that the time had come, so he asked Pan Cheng to throw him into the air, Pan Cheng grabbed Bai Quan's feet with one hand, easily lifted it on the head of the country with one arm, and then threw it into the sky above the tent with a muffled cry. Bai Quanyu rolled in the air, in the bright moonlight, the dragon magic in the body like a dragon out of the hole hovered out of his feet in the air, when he fell to the tent, the dragon magic instantly dissolved the canvas of the tent into a big hole, and then fell into the ballista camp tent without accident, at the mouth of the ballista camp tent, only three or four spearmen dozed in it, he moved lightly and quickly behind the ballista body, avoiding the sight of these soldiers, and then took out a copy of the book he found in the arsenal from his arms. Ballista manual', with the faint light, he quickly read the contents of the book.
According to the manual, the reason why the ballista can send out crossbow arrows with strong penetrating power is because it has a 'magic penetration' magic skill made in ancient times, and it is precisely because of this magic skill that the ballista can continuously fire penetrating arrows.
Magic is the mixed elemental destruction power mastered by ancient magistors, in that era, any magister's continuous fireball was enough to destroy a knight army of more than 100 people, and a meteor fire shower could even destroy the imperial city of a country, so their power is far from being comparable to the magic and martial arts of modern people. But with the decline of the Magister, the number of people who can read magical writing is now nearly extinct.
In the post-magic era, the power of the Magister has reached a terrifying peak, so the kings of each kingdom have sent a large number of assassins to assassinate the Magus of other kingdoms, and the Magister who may not be able to produce one out of 10,000 people has been devastated again, you assassinate my Magister, I will also assassinate your Magister, you come and go, within a thousand years, no Magus will dare to join any kingdom forces, and in another 10,000 years, no Magister can be successfully born, so when the power of one person can stand up to the majesty of a kingdom's Magister, it has now become synonymous with historyγ
